"Not that one, it's a story about a Little Bird who wanted to learn how to fly."
Paimon realized something was wrong and forcibly merged the servers.
"Huh? Eh…?"
Amber quickly took the book and read through it.
"Isn't this my favorite storybook from when I was little?"
"I'm sorry! I put it with the Knights of Favonius Flight Guide yesterday, so I must have picked up the wrong one when I left."
"These two books… is it possible to pick up the wrong one?" Paimon was somewhat speechless.
A Flight Guide and a storybook are clearly not the same type, right? How could she mix them up?
Not many things could leave Paimon speechless, only the old man Zhongli could do that to her.
"It's really embarrassing to talk about this now." Amber looked a bit awkward and fidgety.
"How cute, Amber." Collei's eyes curved into crescent moons as he smiled.
The current Amber was no different from the Amber he knew, which was truly wonderful.
"Perhaps in my heart, this book was the guide that taught me how to fly," Amber explained.
"What matters is not the strong wind but courage; it is what made you the first birds in the world."
"It was this sentence that gave me the courage to fly!"
"Eh heh, did I really say it that well?" Venti scratched his head.
Diluc glanced at Venti, thinking that this guy wasn't even bothering to act anymore.
Venti indeed had no intention of acting anymore.
Since everyone already knew, then I won't act this part, let's just get straight to it!
After finishing the book, I'll take everyone to Dvalin's lair. Just you wait, Dvalin!
The main thing was that the ordinary Mondstadters hadn't seen the second act yet, so they didn't know Venti's identity.
And the higher-ups who had seen the second act could calmly accept Venti's identity and continue to interact with him.
So, there was no need to continue acting in front of them.
In the book, the Traveler began her test.
It was basically just flying through a few wind rings in the air using a Wind Glider, which wasn't difficult.
For someone like the Traveler, who used a Wind Glider to roam around every day, it was practically effortless.
She easily passed the test.
The outdoor flight test was over, and next was the flight test within Mondstadt City.
The three of them arrived in Mondstadt City, where Amber had already planned the route with wind rings.
The Traveler only needed to fly safely around the circuit to complete the test.
However, an unexpected incident occurred this time: halfway through the flight, she was interrupted by a Knight of Favonius.
"Please show me your flight license."
"Flight license…"
The Traveler was dumbfounded. I'm literally taking the flight license test!
Have you ever seen a traffic cop pull over a car taking a driving test and ask to see their driver's license?
When the Knights of Favonius saw that the Traveler couldn't produce a flight license, he tried to take her away.
Fortunately, Amber arrived in time to stop the Knight of Favonius, otherwise, this misunderstanding would have escalated.
After realizing it was a misunderstanding, the Knight of Favonius didn't make things difficult for the Traveler.
He stated that there had been "strange birds" appearing recently, so they were overly concerned about people using Wind Gliders without a flight license.
Amber, however, keenly caught the keyword: "strange birds," flying very fast!
She was Mondstadt's flight champion; when it came to flying, she wouldn't yield to anyone.
Amber declared that such a skilled flyer must be handled by herself.
"What about my test?"
The Traveler was confused. I'm taking a driving test, and you suddenly tell me to speed after a thief?
After catching him, will I have passed or failed?
"Don't worry, once we catch the strange bird, I'll directly… go explain the situation to Acting Grand Master Jean for you."
"…" Jean was dumbfounded; in the end, she still had to deal with it.
Lisa covered her mouth, chuckling to herself. Amber, this child, really trusts Jean.
"…" Lumine was also dumbfounded; in the end, she still had to find Acting Grand Master Jean for the test.
Thankfully, this book told her about the future, saving her a lot of detours.
She could just go directly to Acting Grand Master Jean for the test.
In the book, Amber and the Traveler searched for traces of the "strange bird."
Amber, as expected of an Outrider, quickly detected the "strange bird's" tracks from the clues.
The group followed the tracks, chasing all the way.
Finally, they encountered a merchant who had indeed seen the "strange bird" and pointed out the bird's escape route.
Continuing the pursuit, the "strange bird's" accomplices tried to delay Amber and the Traveler.
They wanted to stall until the Anemo element power on the artifact disappeared, so the Knights of Favonius would no longer have a way to track them.
Unfortunately, with the skills of these small fry, it was difficult to stop Amber and the Traveler.
They quickly knocked out and tied up all these people.
They continued chasing the "strange bird" to his hiding place.
"How about we make the Traveler's third test about this?"
"It's a special edition I custom-made on the spot for the Traveler."
"After all, she's a hero who saved Mondstadt; an ordinary test wouldn't be fitting."
Amber stated that the Traveler's final test was to catch the "strange bird."
This was naturally not a problem for Lumine.
Anyway, she already wanted to catch the "strange bird," so the test became a side objective.
The two and the God of Mouth chased all the way, finally cornering the "strange bird."
However, between them and the strange bird lay an insurmountable chasm, a chasm deep enough to inspire despair.
"Little girl, why don't you go back now and call the Acting Grand Master? I'll surrender immediately."
The strange bird taunted Amber from the other side of the cliff.
This cliff was very wide and very deep.
An ordinary person would tremble at just a glance.
He seemed truly safe standing on the other side of the cliff.
These Mondstadters really can't go three sentences without mentioning Acting Grand Master Jean, even a criminal has to bring her up now and then.
"Are you provoking the Knights of Favonius?! Watch me fly over there and catch you right now!"
Amber was very angry and almost impulsively flew down directly.
Fortunately, the Traveler stopped Amber, telling her to calm down first.
First, observe if there was a way to cross nearby.
After all, if the opponent got across, there was no reason they couldn't.
The two discussed various possibilities, but they were all rejected one by one.
"Goodbye, little girl!" The strange bird said, then tried to flee.
"There's no more time to hesitate! Besides 'flying,' there's no other way to cross the chasm."
Amber wanted to fly directly across.
"Hey, Outrider, if you want to die, jumping off Mondstadt's Anemo God statue without a Wind Glider would suit you better."
The strange bird tried to stop her; he seemed very unwilling for Amber to attempt flying.
"Don't joke around, hurry up and go back, little girl!" The strange bird kept talking.
However, Amber didn't care what he said.
Amber remembered her 'Flight Guide,' the storybook that taught her how to fly.
The first birds could not fly, and flying was the reward for their brave leap into the canyon.
Now the canyon was before her. Could she be like the first birds?
Amber calmed her emotions, dispelled the fear hidden in her heart, and her gaze became resolute.
"The wind says—you can fly!"
She leaped out! Just like the first birds.
She 'clumsily' spread her 'wings,' and the strong wind roared in her ears!
The strong wind in her ears lifted Amber, allowing her to fly freely in the sky.
So they joyfully said to the Anemo God: So that's it, what we lacked was strong wind.
But the Anemo God replied: What matters is not the strong wind but courage; it is what made you the first birds in the world.
