Chapter 3 - “Even the Cold Beg for Warmth”

"..."

Rosaline was not stupid, she seemed to have understood what Kennath wanted to say.

Something was going to happen in Mondstadt, and he had already anticipated it and came to witness it in person as a bystander.

"You... can predict the future?"

She asked somewhat unconfidently. After all, the ability to predict the future was too powerful. If everything could be known in advance, wouldn't they be able to avoid many detours?

"It's not about predicting the future, Miss Rosaline."

Kennath shook his head lightly, picked up a book from the table, pushed it in front of Rosaline, raised his head, and looked into her purple eyes.

"This world is like a book. From its birth to its destruction, everything is as if it has been predetermined. It continues to move forward according to what is recorded in the book until the end of the world.

Rosaline understood.

"You mean, you can see what's written in the book, right?"

"Very smart, Ms. Rosaline, including the past and the future, I have a clear view of everything. After knowing everything, I found that I am no longer full of expectations for the future, but want to be a bystander and watch the bits and pieces in the book become reality."

"...So that's how it is."

Kennath didn't hide anything, so Rosaline knew exactly what he meant. After thinking for a while, she looked at Kennath again, her eyes full of hope.

"If, if you are really omniscient and omnipotent, then..."

She paused, and under Kennath's gaze, she expressed her request.

"Can you revive Rustam?..."

Rosaline's eyes were full of pleading. Kennath knew that if he really said that he could revive Rustam, Rosaline would do anything, even if it meant giving up everything.

"...This doesn't make sense, Rosaline."

Kennath shook his head.

"I can let you see his soul, but resurrection... even if he regains life for a short time, he will die again for various reasons, because in the book, Rustam's death is destined."

His book is [Magic Guide] rather than [Fantasy Almighty], which can only predict, and has no ability to control the original story.

"This is fine! I just want to see him again...."

Rosaline stood up, came to Kennath, and knelt on the ground.

"No matter what price I have to pay, I will pay it, just please, please let me see him again...."

Kennath didn't say anything, turned his head and looked out the window.

Birds were flying freely in the sky. At this moment, their conversation might have been heard by Barbatos.

But it didn't matter.

"...Rosaline, you need to wait."

Finally, he said this

"When you finally get the Gnosis from Barbatos, give it to me. As a deal, I will let you meet Rustam and..."

"Let you and him rest in peace forever."

Rosaline slowly raised her head and looked at Kennath, her eyes were just like the girl who sang loudly under the statue of the wind god that year, extremely pious.

Then, she lowered her head again.

"Thank you..."

...

...

After leaving the reception room, Kennath and Lynette walked on the streets of Mondstadt.

Although Dvalin's transformation into the Strom terror had a lot of impact on Mondstadt, in the absence of strong winds, the people in Mondstadt were still the same. After all, no matter how hard it was, life had to go on.

""Sir, where are we going next?"

Lynette asked respectfully, standing behind Kennath.

She stood in the corner of the conference room and remembered everything that happened in her mind.

After that, Lynette had a better understanding of Kennath's power, and her respect for him went up a level.

"Let's go to the Knights of Favonius." Kennath shook his head. "In Mondstadt, the Knights of Favonius are an official organization, so we have to go and say hello."

He had someone send a letter to the Knights of Favonius first. If he didn't go, where would he go to pretend?

"Your will."

Lynette followed Kennath, and the two walked along the streets of Mondstadt, all the way to the location of the Knights of Favonius.

——

——

"Jean, they are here."

In the office of the acting grand master of the Knights of Favonius, Lisa's eyes flashed with purple light, and she smiled softly as she looked at her fidgeting friend.

"Okay."

Jean returned to her seat, maintaining the demeanor of an acting leader.

With a click, the door of the office opened, and Kennath, wearing an executive coat, walked into the leader's office with Lynette , who was like a servant.

Jean slowly stood up.

"Welcome, I don't know what to call you."

Kennath looked at the immature young lion knight with a gentle smile on his face.

"I am the Zeroth Executive Officer of the Fatui, [Sage] Stellius, and she is my attendant, Lynette."

Then, the office fell into a brief silence.

"I am wondering if you two have come all the way here to do anything special in Mondstadt."

Lisa glanced at her best friend.

She was a little anxious.

"If I must say, I came to Mondstadt as a bystander."

Coming to Jean's desk, where there was already a cup of brewed black tea, Kennath sat opposite her without any airs.

"Traveling?"

This reason made Jean and Lisa stunned.

The famous Fatui executive came to Mondstadt for no other reason than to travel?

Neither of them believed this answer.

"Well, traveling."

Kennath looked at Jean

"I have heard for a long time that Mondstadt is the Nation of freedom and I yearn for it , So I went on a public trip in the name of a mission as an executive officer... I wonder if this reason can convince you two?"

He didn't lie, he really came here for a trip.

But his identity as an executive officer of the Fatui made it hard for people to believe that he really came here for a trip.

"Since we are here for a tour, Mr. Stellius must need a guide."

At this moment, Lisa stretched her body, showing her figure in front of the two of them, and then spoke in her lazy voice.

"How about I volunteer to be your guide in Mondstadt and help you understand the local customs and practices of Mondstadt?

Lynette glanced at the well-built woman with caution.

What's going on? Are you trying to steal my identity as a guide?

"The Genius of the Sumeru Academy of once in a century, the witch of roses...Ms. Lisa, I have heard of your name."

Lisa raised her eyebrows slightly.

Is this a rejection?

Who knows, Kennath changed the subject again.

"However, since Miss Lisa is interested, I will respectfully obey your order. For next period of our stay here, please take care of me, Miss Lisa."
