"I still want to wait for a while; perhaps my kin will come here to find me..."

In the end, she chose to refuse.

Hearing this, Lisa advised: "The Knights of Favonius have always been stationed nearby. If you encounter your kin, you can have them pass on a message."

There is no food here, nor is there a sufficient water source.

It is highly unlikely that they are living in the vicinity.

Perhaps they are also living within the city..."

Thinking about it this way, it seemed correct.

Lumine was gradually persuaded.

"Alright, since there are people from the Knights of Favonius to help... then thank you. By the way... may I ask your names?"

"My name is Lisa, and I am the librarian of Mondstadt. However... there are just many matters to attend to at the moment. As for him... he is the Pope of the Church of Favonius."

"What? The Pope..."

Lumine was somewhat shocked.

She had not expected the identity of the person before her to be so astonishing.

Su Han smiled faintly and said: "However, I will not be stationed in Mondstadt permanently... Let's go, let's return to the city first and talk later..."

"Mm!"

The three of them rode their horses.

They hurried toward Mondstadt.

On the way, Lumine asked about many things.

They were all about common knowledge of this world.

When she heard that Su Han was not only the Pope who controlled Mondstadt but even the ruler of Liyue, she appeared very surprised.

"The ruler of two nations? Isn't it said that... nations were established by gods?"

Facing Lumine's question.

Lisa quickly provided the answer.

"There are many things gods cannot do, and at that time... he appeared. So... Traveler, would you like to join Mondstadt?

We are very short-handed recently..."

"Uh... this... I might not stay for too long. Just as I said before... if it is confirmed that my kin will not appear.

Then perhaps I will leave..."

Lumine gave an answer.

The meaning of staying in this world.

Was merely to search for her blood relative.

She would not stay long in one place.

Lisa looked at Su Han, asking with her eyes whether they should reveal some explosive information.

But he shook his head.

It was still a bit too early to say these things.

However, just as they were passing through the forest, a black shadow fell from a tree.

It happened to land on Lumine's head.

"Ouch... what is this..."

Lumine, having fallen from her horse, rubbed her head, never expecting there to be such a thing in the tree.

Lisa, meanwhile, showed shock.

Her Observation Haki.

Had actually failed to detect the object.

What was this?

"Hey... where am I... my head is so dizzy..."

A small figure, rubbing their head... said with eyes full of swirls.

After Lumine regained her senses.

Looking at the small person flying in the air, she said angrily: "Why did you have to land on my head..."

"Uh... I don't know either. I was just very hungry and fell asleep in the tree... then I heard the sound of people talking, so I wanted something to eat..."

Alright.

Since they were already so pitiful.

What else could Lumine say?

Thus, she turned her head to look at Su Han and the others.

"I have some food here; come, let me give you some to fill your stomach..."

"Wow... thank you! By the way... my name is Paimon, what is your name... the one with silver hair..."

"My name is Su Han, the current Pope of the Church of Favonius."

"Ah!!!!"

Paimon heard the word 'Pope'.

She was directly startled.

She almost dropped the food on the ground.

"Why are you so jumpy..."

"Since when did Mondstadt have a Pope? And... and, isn't that the freest nation..."

Looking at the shocked Paimon.

Lumine also discovered that something was wrong and quickly asked: "What do you know?"

"Uh..." Paimon looked at the two strangers and said in a low voice: "The nation of the Anemo Archon is the freest place. Due to some historical issues.

There is no such thing as a Pope or an Emperor here... but he says he is the Pope..."

This conflicted greatly.

With her own understanding.

Under Paimon's explanation, Lumine finally understood what kind of place Mondstadt was.

It valued freedom.

It loved adventure.

But... this way, it conflicted sharply with a Pope who controlled the entire nation.

She turned to look at Su Han and Lisa.

She saw the former smile and say: "What you said is indeed correct, but... those things are old history. Mondstadt now.

Is decided by me... and don't think I usurped this position.

It was the Anemo Archon who begged me to be the Pope...

Otherwise, I wouldn't want to be Pope... Let's continue our journey; we haven't eaten lunch yet."

Upon hearing about eating.

Instantly, Paimon believed Su Han and quickly asked: "That... if you are the Pope, you must be very rich... if we follow you, will we be well-fed?"

Lumine: "..."

Your suspicion only lasts for three seconds?

Lisa covered her mouth and laughed: "You two... are truly interesting. Don't worry, Su Han is only short of nothing but Mora; you can eat whatever you want."

"Really..."

"Yes, my industries are too numerous to count; eat as much as you like..."

The group arrived at Mondstadt.

When they saw the booming shops.

Paimon and Lumine finally understood.

What it meant to be rich.

Customers were endless, as if money didn't matter, buying things frantically.

Paimon was dumbfounded.

"What is that... why is it black and murky, yet so many people are buying it?"

"This is Cola, a newly developed beverage. Would you like a glass?"
