"Sugawara? Sugawara, are you there?"
The next morning, Feng Yi, carrying high-quality plant materials from Inazuma as gifts, went to the alchemy workshop to find Sugawara.
He knew Sugawara loved studying plants the most, but all the plants in Mondstadt had been researched by her. Therefore, Feng Yi's bringing her plants from other lands was definitely the most suitable gift.
"Mr. Feng Yi? Sugawara went to Dragonspine with Mr. Albedo for alchemy research. Is there anything you need? My name is Timotheus, perhaps I can help..."
Just then, a man in Mondstadt adventurer attire with brown hair walked over, informing Feng Yi that Sugawara was away.
"So that's how it is. It's nothing much, I just returned from Inazuma and brought some plant materials Sugawara might be interested in. Since she's not here now, I'll just wait for her to return and give it to her..."
Feng Yi waved his hand and bid farewell to this alchemist named Timotheus.
He was afraid that if he walked any slower, he might be unable to resist punching Timotheus.
Because when he played the game in his previous life, Timotheus was quite annoying. He stood right next to the alchemy table, and every time Feng Yi wanted to use the synthesis bench, his hand would accidentally click on Timotheus. And that long, obnoxious dialogue was truly disgusting. Couldn't he just learn from Katheryne and only say half a sentence each time?
As one of the NPCs players most wanted to kill, Feng Yi had wanted to ask this Timotheus back then, "Would you die if you moved two steps to the side?"
Even though he had now arrived in this real Teyvat world, his resentment towards the game's Timotheus still lingered. Even though Feng Yi knew these two were not the same person and he shouldn't take his anger out on this real person, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control his own hands...
Leaving the alchemy workshop, Feng Yi went to the Knights of Favonius and met his long-unseen friends. However, everyone seemed unchanged.
Amber, as Mondstadt's only reconnaissance knight, was as lively and straightforward as ever, acting impetuously. If she hadn't been on a mission, she would have almost dragged Feng Yi to the Good Hunter for a good meal.
Noelle, as the Knights' maid, was as gentle and capable as ever, diligently studying the conduct and etiquette of a knight, enthusiastically helping everyone, hoping to become independent and a qualified knight soon, and wear that armor symbolizing honor.
Lisa, as the librarian, was as elegant and lazy as ever. When Feng Yi found her, she was dozing off and slacking off on a table in the library.
By outsourcing potion compounding and some non-essential work, she saved more time for reading and slacking off.
Jean, as the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, was responsible for handling all sorts of affairs in Mondstadt during the Grand Master's expedition. Even when the Grand Master wasn't on expedition, she was still the same, loyal to her duty, making people feel at ease.
During Feng Yi's absence, Jean was busy with work and often forgot to rest, causing her lumbar spine to have some problems again.
Fortunately, Feng Yi's touch was as good as a miracle. After a massage, it greatly relieved the pain of lumbar muscle fatigue.
As for Kaeya, he was still the same. He was organized, friendly to everyone, but there was a hint of sadness deep in his eyes. Feng Yi didn't know if it was about Diluc or about his own background.
This time, Barbara was not seen. Jean said she was researching new healing prayers with the church's priestess.
Feng Yi stayed in Jean's office, communicating with her in depth until the afternoon before he decided to take his leave.
Just as he opened the Knights' door and prepared to leave, he saw Klee rushing in from outside.
"Brother Feng Yi,呜呜, Klee was just thinking of looking for you..."
Klee's tone carried a hint of anxiety.
"Klee, don't rush, speak slowly. What happened?"
Feng Yi gently petted Klee's head, soothing her anxious emotions.
"Klee received a very, very scary letter and has to go somewhere!"
"A letter? A scary letter?"
"That person doesn't acknowledge Klee as Dodoco's family, and said they want to test Klee, telling Klee to go to Dodoland... But, but..."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yi roughly understood what was going on.
This was likely a test set by Klee's mother, Alice, for Klee, which was actually a unique surprise gift for her.
Knowing that there was no real danger, Feng Yi felt relieved.
"Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy! He's called the Great Demon of Dodoco! Brother Feng Yi, look, this is the letter written by the Great Demon of Dodoco, Klee will read it to you..."
"Evil Fire Girl, I, in the name of the Dodoco tribe..." Uh, I don't know how to read this part... "In the name of the Great Demon of Dodoco, I deny your qualification to be Dodoco's new family!"
"Unless you bring Dodoco to the Golden Apple Archipelago, light up..." Uh... "accept..." Uh... wap.kanshu5.net
There are a few words Klee doesn't know..."
Klee's vocabulary was limited, and she read haltingly.
Feng Yi took the letter and looked at it. The word was actually "ruler."
"Klee, this part means you need to [go to the Golden Apple Archipelago, light up four lamps, and knock on the door of the challenger], and it also says he wants to judge you and make you hand over Dodoco..."
As Feng Yi explained, he tried his best to control his expression, not to give himself away.
The ink used in the letter was special ink from the Hexenzirkel, which could block outsiders from finding the writer through divination or magic. Moreover, the handwriting would automatically disappear after some time. It was secret ink used by the Hexenzirkel for covert communication.
At this moment, Feng Yi was even more convinced that the writer was Alice. He didn't expect her to be so cautious.
Since it was Alice's heartfelt gesture towards Klee, Feng Yi couldn't possibly ruin it. He would pretend to know nothing and cooperate with Alice's performance.
"How can this be?! Dodoco is Klee's good friend, Klee will absolutely not give him away! But... he said he's the strongest person in the Dodoco tribe, could it be... the Dodoco tribe are Dodoco's family?"
Klee didn't want Dodoco to leave her, but considering that the other party was Dodoco's family, she didn't want to make Dodoco uneasy.
"It seems so, but little Klee, do you know where the Golden Apple Archipelago mentioned in the letter is?"
"Klee doesn't know."
Klee said with a dazed expression.
"Golden Apple Archipelago, Klee has never heard of it either. It sounds like an island with a lot of apples, right? Hehe~"
Klee scratched her head, chuckled, and then affectionately stroked the plush toy on her backpack.
