"Barbara, don't panic. Let's first ask Sister Lisa about the origin of that strange teapot, and then pool our wisdom to find a solution. Don't worry, Acting Grand Master Jean is the most reliable Dandelion Knight of our Knights of Favonius, and she'll be alright!"
Amber, with her agile mind, unraveled the situation and devised a feasible plan, while also comforting the flustered Barbara.
"Then we must hurry! Jean... oh no, Acting Grand Master Jean might be in danger!"
Barbara was worried, and she pulled Amber towards Lisa's residence.
Meanwhile, Jean, who was on Barbara's mind, slowly woke up in the Serenitea Pot.
"Hiss~ Where... where is this?"
Jean opened her eyes to a clear blue sky. A gentle breeze rustled her hair, making it feel like a dream.
Wasn't she in the Knights' office just a moment ago?
How did she end up here?
And shouldn't it be night time by now?
Could it be... she was truly dreaming?
"Pretty big sister, you're awake?"
As Jean was dazed and confused, a childish voice suddenly reached her ears.
Jean turned her head and was surprised to find a little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes crouching beside her, smiling at her.
"Who are you? Where is this place? Am I dreaming?"
Jean pushed herself up and stood up from the ground, asking the little girl beside her.
"My name is Yuanbao! This is Daddy's Serenitea Pot... Big sister is not dreaming!"
Yuanbao stood up and pointed to the vast grassland, answering earnestly.
"Serenitea Pot?! Then your daddy is?"
Hearing the familiar phrase, Jean suddenly remembered what had happened. Had she been captured by some villain and brought here?
According to the little girl's introduction, the villain seemed to be her father.
But... would a wicked charlatan really have such a smart and cute daughter?
The sudden sense of incongruity made Jean fall into deep thought...
"Big sister, look! Daddy is bringing roasted rabbits!"
Yuanbao was about to explain when she suddenly saw her father, who had been roasting rabbits not far away, walking towards them with the roasted rabbits.
"Yuanbao, these rabbit legs are for you and Qiqi. Go find Qiqi and share them!"
Feng Yi broke off two rabbit legs and handed them to Yuanbao, then sent her away.
"Jean, you're finally awake. I apologize for what happened earlier. Please let me explain the whole story. Actually, I am a traveler from Liyue... blah blah blah..."
Feng Yi broke off a rabbit leg, handed it to Jean, and then sat down on the ground, explaining the whole story truthfully.
Including how he planned to stay overnight outside Mondstadt, but inexplicably found himself in the Knights' office...
Including that he had no ill intentions before, and just wanted to make a joke and liven up the atmosphere...
"This is your sword. It's returned to its rightful owner. Also, because my joke scared you, this golden longsword is a token of my apology. I hope you can forgive me..."
Feng Yi held a whole roasted rabbit in his mouth and then, from somewhere, produced two longswords and handed them to Jean.
"I accept your apology! However, you don't need to offer a gift... Let me formally introduce myself. I am the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, currently the Lionfang Knight—Jean! It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Looking into Feng Yi's sincere and earnest eyes, Jean smiled slightly, understanding that the previous farce was just a misunderstanding.
Since the other party had sincerely apologized, she naturally wouldn't dwell on it. She took back her sword and let the matter pass.
Digging deeper would not only make an unnecessary enemy of a traveler but also potentially affect the friendly relations between Mondstadt and Liyue.
Neither as a kind and passionate individual named Jean, nor as Jean, the Acting Grand Master responsible for protecting Mondstadt, would she make such a choice.
"Hello, Jean, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Feng Yi, and I am a traveler who aspires to travel across the Teyvat continent..."
Feng Yi shook hands with her, and then they gazed together at the boundless grassland, eating roasted rabbit and relaxing. They began to chat casually.
With his past gaming experience, Feng Yi knew Jean very well, and his conversation always hit the right notes. They got along wonderfully.
(After all, he used to love practicing the Windblume Dance with Acting Grand Master Jean!
Of course, those who didn't have Acting Grand Master Jean certainly couldn't understand this kind of fun...)
Jean had never met someone she could converse with so congenially before, and she couldn't help but consider him a confidant, her laughter growing more frequent.
The two chatted and laughed, their distance rapidly closing, as if they had been friends for many years. Who would have thought that these two had drawn swords against each other not long ago?
"Speaking of which... Jean, please accept this golden longsword. Believe me, you'll be unable to put it down because of its miraculous properties!"
As they were chatting, Feng Yi suddenly brought up the matter again and pushed the golden longsword into Jean's arms.
When the golden and silver longswords first appeared in the River God's domain, Feng Yi had used the River God's Eye to appraise their information.
[Ordinary Longsword: As a symbol of the Lionfang Knight, it was forged by the first Lionfang Knight using Xuanjing iron ore. It has been continuously improved by generations of Lionfang Knights. It is an exquisite longsword that is hard to come by, but its symbolic meaning far exceeds its practical value!]
[Silver Longsword: A creation of the great River God, possessing miraculous functions and imbued with holy light blessings, dealing extra damage to evil creatures...
Active Skill - Holy Light Surge: Emits a circular shockwave of light, repelling enemies and inflicting Holy Light burns on evil creatures!]
[Golden Longsword: A creation of the great River God, possessing miraculous functions and imbued with Holy Light incantations, with strong restraint effects against evil creatures...
Active Skill - Holy Light Surge: Emits a circular shockwave of light, repelling enemies and inflicting Holy Light burns on evil creatures!
Active Skill - Holy Light Judgment: Locks onto a target, the next attack deals 80% True Damage (200% True Damage to evil creatures).
Active Skill - Holy Light Blessing: AoE recovery skill, heals allies' injuries and increases base attributes by 20%!
Golden Trait: The Golden Longsword can actively absorb free-floating elements in the environment to replenish energy from the consumed Holy Light power!]
The golden longsword integrated healing and enemy restraint, making it a nemesis of evil creatures and an exclusive equipment for paladins.
Upon seeing the detailed information, Feng Yi couldn't help but marvel at its miraculousness.
It was practically an indispensable divine artifact for conquering the Abyss!
However, regrettably, Feng Yi intended to win over the Abyss faction and form an alliance against the Heavenly Principles. This weapon was of little use in his hands, and it was more worthwhile to give it as a gift to Jean.
