"Isn't Amber's weapon a bow?"
Paimon asked in confusion.
"Well, since it's a standard weapon series, there are other weapon types with the same prefix," Amber explained.
"But the way to obtain them is the same."
She said with a bit of annoyance,
"I still don't have the Favonius Warbow yet!"
"So this sword must be really valuable?"
Paimon became even more excited.
The more expensive something was, the more she liked it!
"Of course it's valuable," Amber replied.
"Besides its excellent quality, it also represents the recognition of the Knights of Favonius and the Church."
"That's the goal I'm working toward."
If she could obtain a Favonius-series weapon, it would mean she had finally become a fully recognized knight.
Amber quietly thought to herself.
"Jiang Chen… isn't this a bit too valuable?"
Lumine hesitated as she looked at him.
Jiang Chen shook his head.
"I believe that sooner or later you'll also become someone recognized by the people of Mondstadt, the Knights, and the Church."
"I'm just giving it to you a little earlier."
There was a hint of encouragement in his tone.
"Exactly!"
Paimon chimed in quickly, afraid Lumine might refuse.
"When you get another one later, I can keep one as a collection, hehe."
"You just said what you were thinking out loud!"
Lumine complained.
"Is this little Paimon secretly related to those legendary dragons?"
Amber said helplessly.
"Then… I'll accept it."
A faint smile appeared on Lumine's face.
She took the Favonius Sword and tested its weight.
She was very satisfied.
Soon she couldn't stop admiring it.
"There are also some basic artifacts in the chest."
Jiang Chen added.
"They're perfect for beginner adventurers."
"Artifacts?"
Lumine looked into the chest curiously.
Inside were glowing items:
a feathera pocket watcha small gobleta headpieceand a beautiful flower
The energy flowing between the five items formed a mysterious cycle.
They were clearly a complete set.
"These are items containing mysterious power," Jiang Chen explained.
"They can enhance and protect those who wield elemental abilities."
"If they form a complete set, they can even activate special abilities."
"This set is called the Adventurer set, one of the most popular artifact sets among adventurers across Teyvat."
"Mm."
Lumine stored four of the artifacts close to her body.
The final flower she placed beside her hair.
"Thank you."
She gently touched the Flower of Life near her hair.
Since arriving in this world and losing both her brother and her power, she had always felt uneasy.
Now, for the first time, she felt a sense of calm.
"I'm really jealous."
Amber said with a slightly bitter tone.
"This Adventurer set isn't cheap in the Adventurers' Guild."
"You also need enough contribution points to purchase it."
"As members of the Knights of Favonius, we can't even buy it."
Jiang Chen had already given the entire set to Lumine.
Amber didn't believe he would have another set to give away.
The earlier comment about giving her equipment was probably just polite talk.
"Why not?" Lumine asked.
"The Adventurers' Guild is basically a mercenary organization," Amber explained.
"But the Knights of Favonius are an official national defense force."
"How could we join something like that?"
She placed her hands on her hips proudly.
Being a knight of Favonius always filled her with pride.
"Does the Knights of Favonius have special artifacts then?" Lumine asked.
"Kaeya occasionally brings back scattered artifacts to strengthen the Knights," Amber said.
"But they definitely wouldn't reach someone like me."
Her round face suddenly looked miserable.
But a moment later she waved her hand and regained her cheerful energy.
"Anyway, forget that."
"Remember I said I'd give you a gift?"
"Although it's not as valuable or powerful as the equipment Boss Jiang Chen gave you…"
"I'm very confident in its practicality!"
"Oh?"
Lumine became interested.
"Amber, what is it?!"
Paimon, who had been sitting on the table eating an apple, immediately flew over.
"For now, go wait for me under the Statue of the Anemo Archon in the city."
"If you don't know where it is, ask Boss Jiang Chen."
"I'll go prepare it first."
After saying that, she flipped out of the window.
Quick and clean.
"…"
Jiang Chen watched the familiar move speechlessly.
If the senior knights saw that, she'd probably get another lecture.
"Jiang Chen, what gift is Amber giving me?"
Lumine asked curiously.
Jiang Chen shrugged.
"If I tell you, it won't be a surprise anymore."
He added,
"The Statue of the Anemo Archon is at the highest point in Mondstadt, in front of the cathedral."
"If you stand near the fountain and look up, you can see it."
"Okay, I'll go then."
Lumine said.
But she didn't move immediately.
Instead she looked at him.
"Jiang Chen, are you coming too?"
"I have something else to do."
Jiang Chen shook his head.
"Oh."
Lumine responded softly, sounding a little disappointed.
Unlike Amber, she didn't jump out the window.
She and Paimon obediently took the stairs.
"Pay attention to the wind direction and your safety."
Just before leaving, she heard Jiang Chen's voice from upstairs.
"Mm!"
Lumine lightly pursed her lips and replied.
Her steps even became a little lighter.
Even though she didn't understand why he gave such advice.
"Well then, it's time for me to go to the Knights headquarters."
Jiang Chen watched Lumine and Paimon searching for the statue's direction in the fountain plaza.
Then he closed and locked the windows between the attic and the second floor.
"Sara, we're closing early today."
He told his waitress.
"So early, boss?"
Sara asked in confusion.
Business had been bad lately, but it wasn't bad enough to close this early.
"Do you have something you want me to do?"
"No."
Jiang Chen said,
"Bring everything back inside the shop."
"Today is a paid day off."
