Although it is just a small detail, such details can often determine the possibility of success of the plan, especially when facing people of extraordinary status.
All I can say is... ... he is not exaggerating to be the candidate for the best son-in-law in the hearts of thousands of old men in Mondstadt.
Unfortunately, the daughters of these old men are clearly more fond of Kaeya's sworn brother, Diluk.
In short, almost all the men and women of all stages in Mond have been monopolized by these two brothers.
"Let me put it this way. Actually, this time the mission to pick up the box was entrusted to me by a friend. Something happened to her in Liyue and she couldn't leave for the time being, so she asked me to help her run the trip."
Honest Bai Luo told Kaiya the whole story without hiding anything.
This unexpected gain made Kaia look thoughtful.
"Such an important matter was entrusted to you. I guess your friend must trust you very much, right?"
After secretly keeping this information in mind, Kaia intentionally or unintentionally began to shift the topic to that so-called friend.
Even though he knew that the possibility of him finding out information about that [friend] was very low, it didn't mean that he would give up trying.
"Yes, she trusts me very much."
He ate the fruit that he was given without hesitation, which was something that the God of Wind, the God of Rock, the God of Thunder and even the God of Ice could not do.
Isn’t this also a kind of trust
"But the real reason she entrusted this matter to me is because of the relationship between Ms. Alice and I. I have known her for a while and have worked together on some big things. If I come forward to pick up the things, it may save a lot of unnecessary trouble."
"I see."
Although it seemed like there wasn't much of a reaction on the surface, Kaia's brain had actually already begun processing all sorts of information.
Have you known Ms. Alice for some time
Have you done some big things with her
Could it be that... ... this Pendragon looks like a teenager, but is actually a rare immortal species like Ms. Alice
This may also explain why he gives people the feeling that he looks young but is actually very mature.
"It's a pity that there are still some regrets about that matter. If it can be made up someday... that would be great."
At this point, Bai Luo's face showed a hint of nostalgia.
Well, even though he and Alice had never met and didn't even know what each other looked like, there was absolutely nothing wrong with him calling himself Alice's friend.
After all, Alice said in the letter that she was happy to make friends with Bai Luo.
As for the big thing they did, it was naturally the barely noticeable word "正" on the thigh of the Eightfold Son of God.
First, he wrote the incomplete correct word with a special pen that was not easy to fade, and then Alice used potion to polish it to make it more durable.
Although it happened at different times, it was the same fox. There is nothing wrong with saying that the two people cooperated to accomplish great things.
Hmm? You said writing on Yae Shinko's leg is not a big deal
Please, the most mysterious big devil Ms. Alice, cooperated with the twelfth executive officer of the Fatui, Anatoly, to write the correct word on the leg of the Lord Palace Master Yae Shenzi, who is a follower of Thunder God and has the blood of Baichen. Isn't this a big deal
The forces involved with these three people are all well-known in the continent.
There is nothing wrong with this!
Chapter 711 Bai Luo Seizes the Initiative
"Are you an expert in the occult like Ms. Alice?"
Kaiya waved to Adeline beside him. The other party immediately understood what he meant. After bowing slightly, she left to prepare tea.
"Rather than being an expert in the occult, it's more like we study similar subjects."
Bai Luo knew that with his limited knowledge of mysticism, he would not be able to fool Kaia at all, so he directly chose a topic that Alice had also dabbled in and that Bai Luo was also very familiar with.
"Research topic?"
"Yes, we both have some research on the other world, and this is also the opportunity for us to meet each other."
It's still a correct statement. The reason why Alice chose to write to him and was willing to make friends with him was because of the subway car he threw out.
Perhaps in Alice's cognition, Bai Luo is also an expert in studying the other world.
Or maybe... ...it itself comes from another world.
But Bai Luo didn't notice that when he mentioned the other world, Kaia seemed to remember something.
"To be honest, I'm also very curious about the other world. I wonder if Mr. Pendragon would mind explaining it a little bit?"
Kaiya adjusted quickly, and the abnormality he felt just now quickly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
He asked this question because he actually wanted to verify the authenticity of Bai Luo's words.
For some reason, he also has some information from another world. Although it is not much, it is enough to verify whether Bai Luo is talking nonsense.
"The information about the other world is actually very complicated, and there is more than one other world. Their culture, language, and even race are very different from ours."
"For example, in a different world I recently observed, they have been fighting against the existence outside the sky. Isn't it amazing?"
When Bai Luo said these words, Kaiya seemed to have thought of something, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Bai Luo began to become strange again.
Afterwards, he added in a tone similar to mockery: "To fight against something in the sky, you are a race that really overestimates your own capabilities."
"Yeah, the guys in the sky think so too. They think that people on earth are bugs that can be easily crushed to death. But in fact, the bugs in that world have never been eliminated."
"I have been trying to [see] the ending of that world. I don't know whether the humans in that world have failed, but until the end of time, in the vast outer world, there are still human figures."
"Perhaps... under the leadership of the pioneers, they have escaped the selection of the jungle of nature and become the existence that originally wanted to destroy them in the sky."
"... ..."
Bai Luo's response was a period of silence.
Originally, Kaeya asked him about the other world in order to determine whether he really knew about the situation in the other world.
Judging from Bai Luo's answer, this guy really has something.
But he was not sure about the authenticity of these things.
The most important thing is that Bai Luo's words seemed to be hinting at something.
"Speaking of things from outer space, this is also why I chose to come to Mondstadt to help my friends."
Bai Luo did not give Kaia too much time to think. He quickly used the so-called unrelated topic and naturally stated his purpose.
Kaeya didn't even realize that he, who had originally taken the initiative because of his status as Diluk's sworn brother, was gradually defeated by Bai Luo's attack.
Now he was actually being led by Bai Luo.
In other words, before meeting Kaeya, Bai Luo had already planned what to say during the meeting, and even considered how Kaeya would react and what he would say.
First, follow Kaia's rhythm, follow his steps, and enter the circle he set.
Afterwards, the topic of the other world was brought up through Alice, and then through a certain science fiction work, the problems of Kanriya were reflected, completely disrupting Kaia's rhythm.
After Kaeya's rhythm was disrupted, it can be said that his defeat was inevitable. The direction of the topic, the rhythm of the conversation, and all these things were basically controlled by Bai Luo.
Unless Kaeya finds a way to disrupt Bai Luo's rhythm, he has already lost miserably.
"Is it related to Mond?"
Kaia, who was originally sitting upright, began to bend forward slightly when he heard that Bai Luo's coming to Mond was related to something from outer space.
He knows better than many people how terrifying the things outside the universe are.
"I came to Mondstadt for only three things."
"One, to help a friend retrieve the box from Ms. Alice's heir."
"Second, I want to see the beautiful scenery of the free country."
"And the third one is what I'm talking about, the extraterrestrial object."
Taking the black tea handed to him by Adeline, Bai Luo said without hesitation.
Although this kind of thing is not convenient for ordinary people to know, the unreturned Xixing caused a lot of noise, and it even involved the territory of Liyue, so it cannot be concealed.
"Is it because... Lord Barbatos?"
What are the things in Mondstadt that are related to the sky? Kaia was not very clear, and the first thing he thought of was Barbatos.
Tevarin's shout of "Barbatos" at that time made all the think tank start to doubt their lives. Could it be that... Tevarin mistook Bai Luo for Barbatos, and there was some reason that they didn't understand
"Have you ever heard of astrology?"
Bai Luo did not directly answer why, but mentioned a term from mysticism.
If you want to convince others directly, you must at least come up with a convincing reason.
Astrology is a good excuse.
"I have heard that they can predict the fate of mankind through the movement of stars in the sky."
As one of the people who is best at gathering information in the entire Mondstadt, Kaeya has some knowledge of the so-called astrology.
"The friend who asked me to get the things is an astrologer. The water divination she uses is a branch of astrology and one of the most accurate forms of astrology."
"She told me before that there will be falling stars in Mondstadt soon. I am very interested in this because these unusual things may be related to the topic of [Other Worlds] that I am researching. This is one of the reasons why I agreed to help her."
After taking a sip of the black tea in his hand, Bai Luo took out the speech he had prepared in advance.
Kaia, who was sitting next to him, no longer had any desire to continue drinking tea.
For Bai Luo, this may just be a simple task.
But for Kaeya, this may be an event that concerns the life and death of Mond.
"Do you know the exact time when the star fell?"
Kaia did not question the authenticity of this matter. If this was really the result of astrology, there was little chance that it could be wrong.
Because he knew well that astrology might be wrong about some small detail, such as the speed, amount or location of its fall.
But if astrology is certain that a star has fallen, then it cannot be false.
Mond, something big is going to happen.
Chapter 712: If there is a window, there is no door.
"The tea is very good, Miss Adeline."
Watching Kaia's hurriedly leaving back, Bai Luo put down the cup in his hand and couldn't help but praise him.
Originally, Bai Luo thought that it was just a cup of tea. No matter how well he knew how to make it, what could he do with it
But he really didn't expect that Adeline not only calculated the time it took for him to drink the tea, but also made the tea reach the perfect and appropriate temperature.
The sweetness of the tea was also adjusted appropriately according to his eating habits.
Simply put, even the so-called high-quality tea is just a foil.
Hey... ... Should I say she is worthy of being the maid of Diluk's family? Even though she looks harmless, she has been quietly collecting her own information in the dark.
"You're flattered. It's fine as long as you like it."
With a slight bow, Adeline said.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room and rest."
After making sure Kaia had left, Bai Luo stood up, yawned lightly, and looked a little sleepy.
After realizing that Adeline was collecting information on him, he had already started living according to a certain routine, and this routine could fool Adeline very well.
"Okay, do you need me to call you for dinner? Do you want to arrange afternoon tea?"
Carefully putting away the tea set, Adeline asked aloud.
Every time this guest reaches this time, she goes to her room to sleep. She has become accustomed to it.
"No need for afternoon tea. I'll wake up by myself for dinner."
Bai Luo waved his hand and said.
And his words also made Adeline smile knowingly.
Putting aside other things, whenever it is time for dinner, this guest is more punctual than anyone else. He can even be said to be the first one to arrive at the restaurant.
After watching Bai Luo return to his room and making sure he was asleep, Adeline quietly left, handed over the relevant matters to her maid, and disappeared in the manor alone.
