At that time, he only needs to convey the message and let Kelly confirm it.
If Klee doesn't know these things, just put her in solitary confinement and don't let anyone see her.
In the entire city of Mondstadt, there is no place safer than the confinement room.
Chapter 702: The True Knight
In a sense, the people of Mond are very happy.
At least that's what some alcoholics think. In some places, only the rich can afford the finest liquor, but the angel's gift is provided in unlimited quantities.
Most importantly, the price is very affordable, so affordable that people can't help but want to settle down in Mondstadt.
Therefore, for many alcoholics, their lifelong dream is to go to Mondstadt and drink all night long at Angel's Gift.
But in winter... ... many people don't have this idea.
They felt that this kind of wine was not worthy of the name of wine at all, it was just a beverage with some alcohol. They finished it before they could even taste it.
Today, Master Diluk, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared at the Angel's Gift Counter after a long absence. After greeting the enthusiastic guests, he brought some drinks and snacks and went upstairs.
Although the servants had taken care of it, the attic was really not a good place.
In the attic filled with all kinds of sundries, there is only a table placed near the window, through which the sunlight can shine in, providing a simple source of light.
At this time, those familiar people were gathered around the table.
Jean, the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius.
Lisa, the librarian of the Knights of Favonius.
Kaia, the cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius.
And... ... Diluk, the former cavalry captain who had just walked up to the attic and had long since retired from the Knights of Favonius.
The four people gathered here at this moment can be said to be the think tank of the Knights. Every time something similar happens, they will gather here to discuss countermeasures.
Qin, sitting upright in front of the wooden table, was concentrating on looking at the portrait in his hand.
That was drawn privately by Diluk. Although it is not as detailed as the camera, there is no way to be so picky in this situation.
Qin was looking at the painting, and Lisa was lazily lying on the table looking at Qin, as if she was thinking about something.
No one present spoke.
The one who finally broke this peaceful atmosphere was Kaeya, who discovered that what Diluk brought was actually a drink.
"I said, I wanted to say this before, do we have to discuss things in a place like this? This matter has nothing to do with Bai Luo, can't we just do it in the office?"
Casually placing the grape juice in his hand on the table, Kaia's eyes drifted towards the wine barrels around the attic.
Unlike the drinks placed below, the drinks here are all high-end products.
But as Kaeya said, they chose to hold meetings in such a place before, mainly because Bai Luo's affairs involved too many things, and it was not convenient for the Knights and the people of Mondstadt to know, otherwise it would cause unnecessary panic.
As for this man named Pendragon, if he was not lying, it was only a matter of time before the Knights would come into contact with him. There was no need to avoid the Knights.
There is no way to avoid it.
"You know, at least on the surface, I'm the one that gives the Knights the most headaches. If I show up there, it will make a lot of people unhappy. Besides... there are a lot of people there that I don't want to see."
Diluk said, crossing his arms over his chest.
But when he talked about the person he didn't want to see, his ruby eyes were fixed on Kaia.
"This at least proves that Pendragon is not very familiar with the situation in Mondstadt. He came to you because of the reputation of Mondstadt Winery. He thought you could connect with the Knights, but he didn't know that your relationship with the Knights was not very harmonious."
Ignoring Diluk's gaze, Kaeya began to analyze the situation seriously.
However, his analysis was purely to deal with Diluk, because the people present had already realized this matter.
"Speaking of which, have you noticed that this man named Pendragon looks a lot like Jean?"
While the Diluk brothers were bickering, Lisa, who had been lying on the table staring at Jean, spoke up.
She kept staring at the other person because she had a similar feeling after seeing the painting.
Although it is just a painting, the painter's skills are very impressive. The other person's expression, momentum, and the temperament in his eyes are vivid.
The way he sat upright could be said to be carved in the same mold as Qin, who was sitting at the table looking at the painting. He was like a young version of Qin.
“Actually, there is a difference.”
Unlike the three people who had only seen the portrait, Diluk met the other party in person, so he knew many details that Kaeya and the others didn't know.
Indeed, whether in hair color or appearance, he and Qin have certain similarities, and even the wind that surrounds him is completely consistent with Qin's elemental attributes.
Just with Qinbi
To put it bluntly, if Qin is a kindergarten teacher whose fangs have not yet grown fully, then the other party is a lion galloping on the battlefield.
Even though he seemed a little petite in terms of body shape, the sense of oppression he gave was something Qin didn't have at all.
The last time he had this feeling was when he joined the Knights of Favonius at the age of fourteen and met their Grand Master Falga for the first time.
He had a hunch that this man named Pendragon should be someone who could create miracles like Grand Commander Falga.
"So is this person worth the risk of contacting?"
Putting the portrait back on the table, Qin spoke up.
As the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius, she cannot make decisions rashly. She needs to consider the issue from many perspectives.
After the incidents with the dragon Usa, Bai Luo, and the wind dragon, Mond finally welcomed the long-awaited peace. She did not want the city to fall into crisis again.
Pendragon.
Did they come here with friendly intentions, or did they have other agendas
She didn't dare to make a rash decision before she was sure of the other party's background.
“My personal advice is to be able to make contact.”
Unlike the three members of the Knights, Diluk hid in a corner where the sun couldn't reach with his arms folded from beginning to end.
In the darkness, he looked at Qin with his ruby eyes and gave his advice.
"Tell me why."
Diluk is the only person who has met Pendragon, so Jean still values his opinion very much.
"It's a little unbelievable, but when I talked to him, I felt like I was communicating with an elder of the Knights. Simply put... he has a chivalry that many people in the Knights do not have, and even..."
Having said that, Diluk stopped talking and looked at Qin.
For some reasons, he had some friendship with the Gunhild family and knew the situation of this family.
But it is no exaggeration to say that in terms of knights, Pendragon gives people the feeling of being far superior to the Gunhild family.
If he were to evaluate him, he would be a knight among knights.
A true knight!
Could Chapter 703 be related to the Fatui
The Knights of Favonius are the sword and shield that protect Mondstadt.
In Mondstadt, most people take it as an honor to be a knight, and it has always been the same.
Even the former owner of the Dawn Winery, Diluc's father, Master Klips Leggenfonde, had always wanted to join the Knights of Favonius.
However, due to his lack of strength and the fact that he was not noticed by the gods, this dream eventually became a regret.
And this regret has become a tragedy because of the appearance of the evil eye.
In short, in the hearts of Mond people, knights have a very high status.
Among them, the Gunhild family is the most outstanding.
The Gunhild family is an ancient family of knights, said to have protected Mondstadt since the day the first epic was written.
Even a mad dragon could regain consciousness for a moment when hearing Gunhild's surname, which is enough to show the weight of this surname.
Once a child of the Gunhild family is chosen as the successor to chivalry, his life will be bound to the word knight and will never be separated from it.
The physical form and etiquette that symbolize chivalry, the history and poetry that forge the soul of chivalry, the swordsmanship and physical fitness that arm the spirit of chivalry
The successor who has been trained as a knight since childhood is worthy of the title of a true knight.
Even so, Jean wasn't even close to that Pendragon.
When he came to this conclusion, even Diluk himself found it incredible.
"Don't you have any information about him?"
In fact, when she heard this, Qin was already moved. She really wanted to meet this person who was highly praised by Diluk.
But considering the overall situation, she asked again.
This time, even Kaia, who had always been careless, pricked up his ears.
They all knew that there was a special intelligence network behind Diluk.
Moreover, the strength of this intelligence network is obvious to all.
"Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do on this end."
Shaking his head, Diluk said.
In fact, after talking with the other party, he started to investigate the information related to Pendragon, but the other party's appearance was very abrupt. There had never been any information about this person before, and no one had even seen him.
He seemed to have appeared suddenly, extremely mysterious.
"Do you think it has something to do with the Fatui?"
After Diluk said that even he had no way to find out the other party's information, Kaeya mentioned a possibility.
His suspicion was not unreasonable. Kaeya had also heard of the intelligence organization behind Diluk. If even they could not find any information about Pendragon, then it was most likely related to the Fatui.
After all, only the Fatui could hide the information about such a person so tightly.
Or... ...is it related to the Abyss Cult
"The possibility of it being related to the Fatui is not high."
Without much hesitation, Diluk directly refuted Kaeya's idea.
As someone who has the most dealings with the Fatui, he can be said to be very familiar with this organization and has a general understanding of some of their internal situations.
Judging from Pendragon's situation, if he is really a member of the Fatui, he is definitely not an unknown person.
But Diluk never found any information about him from the Fatui.
"No, I think we still need to take this into consideration."
Kaia said with a thoughtful expression.
Faced with such a person whose origins were unknown, he felt it was necessary to take certain precautions.
After all, the unknown is the most terrifying.
"I have my reasons for making such a judgment."
Diluk said as he took out a piece of information and placed it in front of several people.
"Although I don't know what the Fatui got from Mondstadt and Liyue, based on what I have investigated, Mondstadt and Liyue are no longer their main targets. Their next target is Inazuma on the other side of the sea. It is hard for me to imagine why they would throw such a trump card in Mondstadt, which is no longer of any value to them."
Does Pendragon deserve the title of ace
In Diluk's opinion, it's totally worth it.
If Pendragon was really a member of the Fatui, he even thought that he would be the Fatui's executive officer.
This was the intuitive feeling the other party gave him, and it was not an exaggeration at all.
But if that were the case, then why would he come to Mond
If this is a chess game, then placing such a character in Mond's current state is simply a bad move.
"Why don't I go and contact him first as the captain of the cavalry?"
Putting down the information provided by Diluk, Kaeya asked tentatively.
The information Diluk provided was basically consistent with what he knew, except for the information about the executive officer, which he was not sure about.
