Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Chapter 372 A Cocktail Party (Part 1)

It was as if a white, floating spirit had turned the clock, and the wind quickly blew the sun directly above Mondstadt.

The content is average, but the training intensity is anything but.

So much so that when Mu Feng left the training ground in a rather disheveled state, his arm was almost no longer his own.

"The West Wind Sword Technique is divided into two branches. The most widely circulated branch was passed down from the 'Young Wolf' knight Rustan."

"He is an outstanding swordsman, the sharpest dagger in the night, whose swordsmanship is ingenious and versatile, and is known for its skill."

"Russtan tragically died in the battle against the dragon Durin, but the improved Favonius swordsmanship he created has been passed down to this day and is now an essential swordsmanship skill for every Knight of Favonius."

When teaching swordsmanship, the Grand Master put away his casual smile, his imposing aura as steady as the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.

The wolf's final moments were marked by a heavy descent into the ground, raising a cloud of dust, demonstrating the formidable power of the attack.

"Another lineage of the West Wind Sword Technique comes from 'Lion of Light' Erendel, renowned for his war dance."

"With his superb swordsmanship, even though he was never watched by the gods in his life, he was hard to beat in that era."

"I have nothing more to teach you about swordsmanship, but strength is ultimately your weakness."

Thus, the morning's special training, which was a far cry from divine power but far removed from human capabilities, became a natural progression.

It's hard to tell whether the Grand Master was deliberately retaliating against him for exposing his violation of the rules, but the result was that Mu was almost too weak to even return home from the Knights.

In the end, it was the all-powerful little maid who appeared and finally saved the newly recruited knight from the fate of sleeping on the streets.

I'm suddenly a little envious of Noelle, well, of course, we have to ignore the minor issue of her weapon attrition rate being a tiny bit higher.

As he was being helped back to the Gunnhilds' house by the maid, Mu Feng silently thought to himself.

"Senior, are you alright? Do you need me to carry you?"

Noelle's concerned voice rang in her ears, and the little maid blinked her beautiful emerald green eyes, somewhat eager to try.

It's very comfortable being with Senior Mu Feng.

You can escape from the endless work for a while, sit down, feel the breeze, and eat a pancake.

In the past, her seniors always took meticulous care of her feelings. Today, it's finally her turn to serve them!

Noelle will observe the maid's etiquette!

"I didn't... Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, slower, slower..."

Despite his stubbornness, Mu Feng eventually gave in.

……

As evening fell, Mu Feng, who had spent the entire day resting in bed, finally regained some of his energy.

At this moment, he changed out of his knight's attire, put on a tailcoat, and stood in front of the full-length mirror to straighten his bow tie.

There is an important small banquet tonight.

Actually, it's not entirely that important.

For aristocratic families like the Gunnhilds, a party of this scale is quite common.

But today's banquet is somewhat special.

Among those attending the banquet were envoys from the winter solstice.

Although this is not a formal meeting acknowledged by both parties, the entire leadership of the Knights will be present as a sign of respect.

This small banquet to welcome the Winter Ambassadors was held at the Dawn Winery in southwestern Mondstadt.

On such an occasion, Gunnhildr naturally could not be absent.

Although Simon and Frey were unable to attend due to official business, the fact that three outstanding juniors, Mufeng, Barbara, and Qin, were present together was enough to demonstrate the importance he placed on the event.

"Brother, are you done yet? We're going to be late."

It was Barbara's cheerful voice. Then, with a series of hurried footsteps going upstairs, the little girl pounded on the door.

Mu Feng tidied himself up in front of the mirror one last time, and after confirming that everything was in order, he went to open the door for Barbara with a helpless expression.

As soon as the lock loosened, the little girl eagerly pushed open the door and rushed into Mu Feng's arms like a gust of wind.

"Brother, brother, look! How's my dress?"

Barbara was wearing a very exquisite tulle dress today, with delicate little lampwick patterns on the white hem, which made her look exceptionally lively and agile, especially with her light blue eyes.

Her blonde hair, tied in twin ponytails, fell loosely and draped neatly over her shoulders, just like a princess described in a fairy tale.

She lifted her skirt slightly and twirled around, then cast an eager gaze, like a docile cat seeking praise.

Naturally, Mu Feng wouldn't let his adorable little sister down.

"It's so beautiful, Barbara is the best!"

Mu Feng affectionately rubbed Barbara's little face; it was soft and fluffy, like a small cake smeared with blueberry cream.

The little girl burst into laughter, her eyes curving into crescent moons as she giggled and clung to his arm, acting all cute.

That's right, that's right, Brother Mufeng knows how to talk.

This scene also caught the attention of Qin, who had been waiting in front of the door, and she couldn't help but let out a long, resentful sigh.

There are three people, and one extra.

Dinner for three~

No matter how much we eat, we can't finish it all!

"Of course, sister, you too."

Seeing that things were going badly, Mu Feng blinked and quickly tried to salvage the situation.

Qin chuckled and shook her head, glancing at the wall clock as she gave a reminder.

"Xiao Feng, Barbara, the carriage is almost here. It would be very impolite to be late if we don't set off soon."

While not exactly far from the Dawn Winery, it's certainly not close either; the journey there and back takes quite a bit of time.

Of course, it was mainly said to a certain little girl.

Barbara stuck out her tongue sheepishly and quickly went back to her room to pack her things.

A short while later, the carriage set off.

As night fell completely, the guests gradually arrived.

The lights shining through the windows of the Morning Light Winery were brighter than usual, and the servants inside were setting plates on the tables and opening the corks of wine bottles to decant the wine for the upcoming guests.

Because of the winter visitors, this dinner looked much more lavish and formal than usual.

The owner of the manor, Cripps Legenfender, was busy as a bee, checking everywhere to make sure everything was ready.

Wine glasses, bacon, and plenty of ice.

Early-arriving guests, each holding a wine glass, moved among the waiters, occasionally sipping a sip of the cellar's treasured wines, their casual conversation interspersed with a few exclamations of admiration.

Falgar had also arrived and was happily clinking glasses with the other captains of the Knights at the main table not far away.

Mu Feng seemed to have some recollection of one of them.

Iloc, the chief inspector of the Knights.

That gentleman with the gold-rimmed glasses spoke with refined manners, and even the angle at which he clinked glasses was meticulously controlled.

But for some reason, the inspector general's smile always gave him a false and cold feeling.

Before the carriage had even come to a complete stop, Kaeya and Diluc, who had noticed them long ago, came to greet them.

However, before he could even step off the carriage, Mu Feng was already laughing.

Because, the usually meticulous Diluc now seems to look somewhat... disheveled?
