This is not an act.
She couldn't imagine how such a petite person could eat so much.
But what she didn't know was that when she mentioned this characteristic of the other person, Kaia, who was standing next to her, took a breath.
Appetite... Amazing
When Kaia heard about the other party's characteristics, the first person he thought of was Bai Luo.
He still remembered that when he tried to get him drunk with wine, he easily finished a table full of food. He was really scared by his appetite.
Um
You ask why he remembers it so clearly
How to say it
He no longer wanted to experience again the feeling of waking up from a hangover and finding his brother lying on top of him.
Chapter 709: Ability is the fruit, the price is fun
Bai Luo has been to Chenxi Winery twice.
Once as a distinguished guest, and the second time as well.
The difference was that the first time he was treated not with courtesy but with fear.
No matter where he went at the party, his identity as a Fatui executive was intimidating.
This time it's different.
He truly experienced what it was like to live a rich life.
Just as Haley said, Bai Luo is now enjoying the highest level of treatment in the Dawn Winery, even better than Diluk himself.
After all, Diluk himself doesn't care about these material enjoyments, he cares more about private space.
Grabbing a handful of raisins, Bai Luo walked to a more secluded angle on the balcony and looked into the manor.
Kaia, who seemed to be just chatting with the maid, appeared in his field of vision.
It was not unexpected for him that Kaia would come.
According to his understanding of Mond, Kaia, who used to be the general affairs director, is the best at communicating with outsiders.
Whether it was him or anyone else who came to Mond, as long as they had formal contact with the authorities, they would most likely ask Kaeya to find out the truth.
I just don't know what the Knights of Favonius' attitude towards him is.
However, he even brought up the profession of Knight King, which must be much better than he imagined. After all, he has never had such treatment before.
After noticing the maid and Kaia walking towards the manor, Bai Luo quietly retreated into the room, intending to wait for them to come over.
Soon, Adeline's voice sounded from outside.
"Mr. Pendragon, the cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius wants to meet with you. Are you free?"
Diluk handed over all matters concerning Bai Luo to Adeline, so the one who came to report this time was her, not Haley.
"Of course, Miss Adeline, you know that I have plenty of time during my time at the manor."
Bai Luo had a deep impression of Adeline.
It is no exaggeration to say that when it comes to taking care of people, this maid is definitely the best person Bai Luo has ever seen.
No wonder Diluk takes him so seriously.
"Excuse me, please follow me this way."
After Bai Luo opened the door, Adeline bowed slightly, made a gesture of invitation, and then took the initiative to lead the way.
It can be said that the performance is so perfect that people can't find any faults at all.
"This cavalry captain is my master Diluc's sworn brother, and he is also the deputy to the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius. He is a very enthusiastic person, and I believe you two will definitely be able to get along well."
While leading the way, Adeline did not forget to tell Bai Luo some information about the other party.
The most important thing is that she wanted Bai Luo to know that this cavalry captain was also half the owner of this family.
"Hearing what you said, Miss Adeline, I am also looking forward to it."
The expectation is real, but it’s hard to say what I’m expecting...
Just like that, under the guidance of Adeline, Bai Luo went around and around and came to the previous reception room.
"Surely this is Mr. Pendragon?"
The moment he saw Bai Luo, Kaiya was stunned for a moment, but quickly adjusted himself and greeted him enthusiastically.
Compared to Diluk, who paused and then pronounced the word "sir" in an uncertain tone, Kaeya seemed much more natural and enthusiastic.
It can be said that it is in sharp contrast with Diluk.
"Exactly. What is the name of this cavalry captain?"
At Kaiya's enthusiastic invitation, Bai Luo sat on the leather sofa and responded very politely.
Even on this extremely comfortable sofa, he did not act lazy, but sat very straight.
This also made Kaia reveal a barely perceptible hint of thought in his eyes.
"Kaiya Alberich, you can just call me Kaiya."
The moment he saw the other person, Kaeya finally understood why Diluk valued this person so much.
Although he had seen the portrait of this man in the attic of the tavern.
But compared to the youthful man in the portrait, the real Pendragon gives a completely different feeling, a feeling that the painter simply cannot depict.
How to say it
The real person does have that kind of youthfulness, but against the backdrop of his own aura, this youthfulness is extremely difficult to detect, and it may even make people ignore it and treat him as an adult.
It's a very subtle experience.
What is more important is the other person's sitting posture.
For ordinary people, when sitting on such a soft sofa, even if they want to be polite and do not lie down on the sofa to enjoy it, they will generally subconsciously show an extremely relaxed posture.
For example, Kaia himself.
Every time he sits here, he feels extremely relaxed.
But Pendragon, who was sitting opposite, was able to perfectly control this feeling and remained seated upright the entire time.
This is serious.
This made two words pop up in Kaiya's mind - soldier.
Only soldiers can maintain this state.
"Mr. Kaeya, is that right? I wonder if Mr. Diluc has conveyed my words to you? What is the opinion of your Knights?"
Unlike Kaia's enthusiastic feeling, Bai Luo seems very serious.
He went straight to the point and discussed the main purpose of his visit to Mondstadt.
"The Knights' opinion ultimately depends on the decision of our leader. I believe the leader will give you a satisfactory answer."
Kaiya avoided Bai Luo's question very cleverly, neither making himself look too embarrassed nor making Bai Luo feel awkward.
It can be said that the four words "human nature and worldly wisdom" are expressed vividly.
That’s right. Even though he is the deputy of the acting team leader, he is just a deputy after all. The real decision-maker is still the acting team leader, and his opinions are for reference only.
"Sorry, I was too impatient."
"No, you don't have to apologize. I should say that my visit was too abrupt. It was mainly because Diluk praised someone so highly a long time ago. I was just a little curious about what kind of person would make him give such a high evaluation."
Before obtaining information, you must first give the other party a very comfortable experience.
Kaia knows how to praise someone without appearing too abrupt.
In this case, his target would usually be so pleased with his clever way of praising that he would feel like he was on high, or at least would enjoy it very much.
At this time, they will generally subconsciously reveal a lot of useful information.
This is also a method that Kaia often uses.
"So, what do you think after meeting me in person?"
With a flat smile on his face, Bai Luo asked back.
Kaiya's methods were indeed very clever, but unfortunately the person he met was Bai Luo, a man whose ability was to get sour fruits at the cost of having fun.
These tricks of his were already what Bai Luo had used.
Bai Luo's experience in this area has far surpassed Kaia.
Chapter 710 There is nothing wrong with this
"After meeting you, I realized that Diluk was still hiding something."
How should I put it? This is what Kaia really thinks.
Even though Diluk had said in advance that Pendragon would bring him a surprise, it was only after actually meeting this person that he finally understood why Diluk spoke so highly of him.
As Diluk's sworn brother, even though they are not as close as before due to some reasons, he still thinks he knows Diluk better.
Previously in the Angel's Gift Attic, he had casually mentioned whether Pendragon could be a member of the Fatui.
At that time, Diluk refuted him without hesitation, and even meant to speak for him.
Based on his understanding of his brother, he would never make such a judgment before getting a definite answer. This time he acted out of character, which made him feel incredible.
This is also one of the reasons why he wanted to come and meet Pendragon. He wanted to see who could have caused Diluk to change his personality.
But when he actually met him, he finally understood why Diluk reacted that way.
As the cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius, Kaeya is also a legitimate knight.
But when he sat in front of the other person, he actually felt inferior.
He had no doubt that the other party was definitely more suitable for the title of knight than himself.
Even if someone told him that this young man named Pendragon was an illegitimate child secretly cultivated by some high-ranking members of the Knights Templar, he would not be surprised.
No... ... Pendragon is much better than those so-called high-ranking officials. Only ancient families like Gunnhild can compete with him.
“Thank you for the compliment.”
While responding to Kaeya, Bai Luo had already started to make plans in his mind.
The convenience brought to him by the Knight King is far beyond his imagination, so he has been considering whether to use the convenience of this identity to find some fun.
After all, this identity can easily gain the trust of the Knights of Favonius.
"No, you seem to have misunderstood. I am not deliberately complimenting you. I am just stating a fact."
If it were before he met Bai Luo, Kaia would probably have already started taking out the wine and trying to get closer to the other person.
This not only gives him a legitimate reason to drink Diluk's treasured wine, but also allows him to extract some useful information from him. Why not do it
But after that night, he would never dare to compete in drinking with others again unless he was sure of the other person's alcohol tolerance.
Especially those of the Fatui, and the merchants who come in winter.
These guys can generally drink more than the Mond people.
At first he was very curious about what was going on. After all, because of the Dawn Winery, there were many more alcoholics in Mond than in other cities.
It wasn't until he accidentally found something called fire water that he understood why this was the case.
He even wondered at one point if he had taken the wrong thing.
"Mr. Pendragon, Diluk has already told us the reason why you came to Mondstadt, but I'm still a little curious, what is your relationship with Ms. Alice?"
After the compliments were almost over, Kaia was already trying to get information out of him.
And there was a small detail in his words, which was handled very well.
That is he said [I] am curious, not [we] are curious.
This means that he is not talking to Bai Luo from the standpoint of the Knights of Favonius, but from the standpoint of Kaeya himself.
