Taylor has his own abilities to be able to do well under the command of the strange bird.
Just as he said, he had been idle since he was a child, and he had been to most places except the Wind Dragon Ruins.
The reason why the monster bird was able to succeed repeatedly in Mond before was not only because of his own strength, but also thanks to the help of Taylor.
If Taylor hadn't been so ambitious, causing Monster Bird to realize that he was likely to become a traitor, he would definitely have been able to enter Monster Bird's core layer.
Even so, the strange bird was reluctant to drive him away.
It was not until the Strange Bird was tricked by Bai Luo and fell into Rosalind's hands that Taylor gathered some of the Strange Bird's former subordinates and planned to start a new business.
Unfortunately... ... just like the strange bird, he was eventually tricked by Bai Luo.
"Go to the Morningside Winery."
"Okay, sit tight."
Taylor breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Bai Luo was planning to go to Dawn Winery.
In fact, he was very afraid that Bai Luo would take him directly to Mondstadt.
Because when he arrived in Mond, there was a high probability that he would be handed over to the Knights of Favonius. As an old subordinate of the Strange Bird, Taylor had been wanted by the Knights of Favonius for a long time.
Considering the dirty things he did to the monster bird before, if he were handed over to the Knights of Favonius, he would probably be stuck in prison for the rest of his life.
In short, the two of them rushed towards the Dawn Winery.
On the continent of Teyvat, every country has some relatively well-known buildings or attractions.
For example, Wangshu Inn in Liyue and Mingshen Taisha in Inazuma.
But they may not necessarily be famous throughout the continent of Teyvat.
For example, Wangshu Inn, although it was built on a trade route, foreigners often stayed here.
But it is only well-known in Liyue and Mondstadt. In countries farther away... ... you may have heard of the name of Wangshu Inn, but you can't tell what it is.
But there is one place that is quite famous throughout the continent of Teyvat.
That is the Château Dawn.
On the sea, the wine from Dawn Winery can be said to be the hard currency for sailors, and it is even more valuable than gold and jewelry.
Chenxi Winery's unique brewing technology ensures that its wines always occupy the top of the industry, and even influenced its peers at one point.
Among the competitors that could not compete with Chenxi Winery, a considerable number of them switched to making fruit juice, which was enough to barely stabilize their revenue.
To sum it up in one word.
All its peers are stinky little brothers in front of it!
Today, the Chenxi Winery is as peaceful and tranquil as ever.
Diluk sat quietly by the fireplace, looking through the documents on the table.
He casually picked up the exquisitely shaped cup beside him and took a sip of grape juice, letting the sweet and sour taste fill his entire mouth, but his eyes never left the information in his hands.
Although he is just a businessman, his contribution to Mond is actually no less than that of Jean as the acting leader.
Especially in recent times.
The matter of Osel has caused a lot of uproar.
Before the Mondstadt Knights could react, he had already taken advantage of the Dawn Winery's inherent geographical advantages and arrived at the border between Liyue and Mondstadt.
It’s not that he wanted to support Liyue, he was just afraid that the terrible demon would try to extend its claws to Mondstadt after conquering Liyue.
To his relief, the people of Liyue, with the help of so-called immortals, were able to hold off the demon's attack.
However, even he did not expect that the Tianshang Palace Jue, which symbolizes power and wealth, actually has such a function.
Even though Mondstadt and Liyue have always been on good terms, after receiving the intelligence, Diluk immediately began to think about how to guard against the special crossbow driven by immortal power.
But the more he thought about it, the more headache he felt.
Can the current Knights really withstand an attack of that level
"Sir, are you available now?"
After the knock on the door, the voice of head maid Adeline was heard outside.
When Diluk is working, he generally doesn't like to be disturbed by others nearby, so whenever this happens, no one will stay in the room.
"What's the matter?"
After casually putting away the information on the table, Diluk asked.
"There's a man outside who calls himself Pendragon who wants to see you. He says he has something important to discuss with you."
Adeline said softly.
"Didn't I tell you? I've been very busy lately. Except for a few very special people, I will refuse any requests to see you."
As the current owner of Dawn Winery, the number of people who want to see him every day can be said to be able to line up from Dawn Winery to Mondstadt. If he has free time, he doesn't mind making friends with these people. After all, he is also a businessman, and knowing more people will help his business.
But let’s forget about it during this special period.
"Well... I think it would be better for you to meet this gentleman."
Adeline, who was guarding outside the door, hesitated for a moment and then spoke carefully.
Her words also caused Diluk, who was sorting out the information, to pause.
As the head maid of the Dawn Winery, Adeline could be considered a veteran of the Leggenfend family, and Diluk had a clear vision of her.
After he had issued the order to turn away guests, he still came to suggest that he meet with the person who came to visit.
This was enough to show that in her opinion, the man named Pendragon was definitely worth meeting.
"Bring the man in, and get a bottle of good wine from the cellar."
Diluk picked up the dress next to him, put away the information, and decided to meet with the man named Pendragon.
Chapter 701 The Promise Fifty Years Ago
Before meeting Pendragon, Diluk had wondered what kind of person he was.
For example, a pot-bellied businessman, a dusty traveler, or a handsome bard
But when Adeline brought him here, he finally understood why his head maid thought he was worth meeting.
Although Pendragon has tried his best to appear ordinary, the nobility engraved in his bones cannot be concealed at all.
That is the temperament that only people who have been in high positions for many years have.
Although he looked a little petite compared to his peers, and his delicate face was softer than that of men, he was enough to make people want to surrender just by standing there.
The most important thing was the wind that surrounded him. As a Primordial God, he saw the existence of the Wind King's barrier. But he did not see the Eye of God hanging on the other party.
Diluk was sure that the man who called himself Pendragon was definitely not a simple person.
"Mr. Diluc, sorry to bother you."
The slightly low voice sounded as if the voice was deliberately lowered, but it did not give people a sense of disobedience.
The voice, neither humble nor arrogant, gave people a feeling of extreme determination.
"You are too polite. I asked the servants to prepare some wine. If you don't mind, please go to the living room to talk."
After he finished speaking, Diluk realized something.
When facing this person, he subconsciously lowered his posture and began to use honorifics.
When someone comes to visit him, he also uses honorifics, but it is more to express his friendliness.
And this time, he truly showed his respect.
Just like when he first met Grand Commander Falga.
"You're welcome. I believe that there are not many people in the entire continent who would dislike the wines from Dawn Winery."
Led by Diluk, the two walked into the reception room on the red carpet embroidered with gold thread.
The head maid Adeline opened the curtains of the living room in advance, and the setting sun just happened to cast its afterglow into the living room, adding a different kind of charm to the already luxurious house.
The plain white curtains are matched with the imported leather sofa from Fontaine, and the neatly arranged red silk cushions with gold edges. It is luxurious yet not vulgar, elegant yet noble, giving people an extremely enjoyable feeling both sensorily and visually.
"I wonder what the purpose of Mr. Pendragon's visit is?"
Although the other party behaved very maturely and steadily, his appearance did not seem worthy of being called a gentleman.
If Diluk was not mistaken, the other party was only about fifteen to seventeen years old, definitely not an adult.
So when he spoke of Mr., he paused for a moment.
But... ... the person in front of him clearly didn't give him the feeling of being a minor.
He even hesitated whether to offer him a drink.
"It's because of a promise made fifty years ago."
Bai Luo took the wine handed to him by Adeline, drank it all in one gulp and spoke out.
It has been mentioned before that after changing careers, Bai Luo's personality will be affected to a certain extent, and the profession of King Arthur also affects him.
He never lied in the first place, and after being given the professional bonus of being hailed as the Knight King among Knights, he became even more unwilling to lie.
So he tried to pick out things to say as much as possible.
"The agreement made fifty years ago?"
When Bai Luo mentioned the agreement made fifty years ago, the first person Diluk thought of was his father, Cripps Leggenfond.
But considering that his father didn't seem to be that old fifty years ago, he looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.
"That's right, but it's not an agreement with the Leggenfend family, but with Ms. Alice."
Bai Luo also noticed Diluk's confusion, so he explained.
But after his explanation, Diluk became even more confused.
"Excuse me, the Legenfind family and Ms. Alice don't have much in common. If they had an appointment with her, why did they find my winery?"
Speaking of Alice, the first person Diluke thought of was actually her daughter Klee.
It’s not because of the threat she posed to Mond, but because of what happened a few years ago.
That time, the naughty little girl broke into his orchard in order to catch butterflies and made a mess of the grape trellis.
Diluk did not make things difficult for her. He gave her a few bottles of grape juice and sent someone to send her back to Mondstadt.
After that, he received a letter from a woman named Alice.
At that time, he was in trouble because of his father's affairs.
It was because of Alice's letter that he made a decision that could change his life, which was to go out for a walk.
He always kept in mind the words "May you be able to taste good things in the wind as you move forward."
"In short, I have to take back the box of the 50-year agreement from Ms. Alice's heir. If my information is correct, the heir is now under very strict protection in Mondstadt. If I approach him rashly, I'm afraid there will be unnecessary trouble."
"Hmm... I think I understand what you mean."
Diluk is also a smart man. After listening to Bai Luo's words, he almost knew why the other party came to him.
If he guessed correctly, the so-called heir of Ms. Alice mentioned by the other party was Alice's daughter, Kelly.
This little girl, Klee, can be said to be the darling of the entire Knights of Favonius. Although the people in the Knights are more worried that anyone who approaches her rashly will be accidentally injured by her, but as Bai Luo said, if a stranger tries to approach her, he will definitely be targeted by the Knights.
Rather than saying that the other party is looking for Leggenfind, it would be more accurate to say that they are looking for some more prestigious people in Mondstadt, and through them contact the top leaders of the Knights Templar to resolve this matter.
Although it sounds a bit cumbersome, this is also the consistent style of the nobility.
They have always regarded these tedious processes as a tradition.
Diluk was very glad that his ancestors had long ago eliminated these unnecessary traditions from the family rules, otherwise he would not mind doing something that went against the wishes of his ancestors.
"I understand. I will try to help you contact the Knights, but whether it will succeed or not is not up to me."
After thinking everything through, Diluk tentatively agreed to Bai Luo.
And it's time for him to meet Qin and the others.
"Don't worry, you just need to tell the heir about the [Fifty-Year Agreement] and the box, and she will naturally understand what's going on."
Although Bai Luo's words did not completely dispel Diluk's doubts, they did make him let down his guard a little.
