According to his past habits, he would certainly not stay in Mond for long.
So after she got the news, she kept waiting for the other party to return to the winery.
"How's the guest doing?"
After a quick wash, Diluk asked.
He didn't mention anything about his injuries.
You have to know that he had been hit by Krober's head before. That level of impact... Even if there was no fracture, it was at least a fracture.
The reason he was able to hold on was entirely due to the perseverance he had acquired over the years.
"The guest never left his room except at mealtime, but after dinner he went to your study to get some books."
Although they seemed to be concerned about the guest's situation, in fact, the two had just completed a brief information handover.
Trust is trust, but it doesn't mean that Diluk will let a stranger run around on Mondstadt's land.
"Let's arrange it after daybreak. I need to talk to him."
Chapter 721 Are there my colleagues in the city
Before the morning birds began to praise the beauty of the sun, Ernest was already active.
As the warehouse manager of Chenxi Winery, there is actually not much he has to do.
Every day you just have to guard the warehouse, inspect the cellars, and occasionally transport the goods. With a little bit of brains you can handle the work in an orderly manner.
This job is very leisurely and the winery owner is generous and pays a lot of money. It can be said that life is very comfortable, even more comfortable than in Mondstadt.
When he talked about working at Chenxi Winery, people around him looked at him with envy.
So he still cherishes his job.
Early this morning, he got up and started counting the inventory in the warehouse.
"strangeness... ... "
After looking at the list again, Ernest scratched his head in confusion, turned to the first page again, and started counting again.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Connor, the winemaker with a moustache and a top hat, noticed the situation on his side and asked.
As a winemaker who has been working here since Mr. Cripps was still in charge of the winery, Connor has some qualifications.
He is usually required to accompany the team during inventory work like this.
They say that it is faster to count with two people, but in fact they are just afraid that some people may have dirty hands and secretly take things that do not belong to them.
After all, every barrel of wine in the cellar of Chenxi Winery can be said to be valuable, and any of them can be sold at a high price.
"Mr. Connor, this month's food seems to be consumed much faster than before."
Pointing to the records on the list and then to the situation in the warehouse, Ernest said.
Logically, there should be most of the food still in the warehouse, but now it is almost gone. This is a very abnormal phenomenon.
If there is any problem with the inventory, he will be the first person to be contacted, so he seems a little anxious.
"Well, have you forgotten? There was a guest at the manor recently, and his appetite is not small."
After realizing what Ernest was worried about, Connor said without much concern.
As one of the more experienced people in the winery, he had previously had the honor of attending the banquet hosted by Master Diluc for Mr. Pendragon, and had also witnessed the extraordinary qualities of that guest.
He never expected that the other party could eat so fast while maintaining elegance.
Is this really something a human can do
"But... ... "
Ernest wanted to say something, but Connor interrupted him nonchalantly by raising his hand.
"Don't worry, I'll talk to Master Diluc about this matter. He won't make things difficult for you."
As a veteran, Connor naturally knew Ernest's true thoughts.
But what he didn't know was that Ernest had actually already calculated the food consumed by the guests, but the numbers still didn't match, and there were still many discrepancies.
But seeing that his senior was so persistent, Ernest didn't know what to say. He had to follow his senior's wishes and put the matter aside without pursuing it further.
Actually
In a valley somewhere in the Benlang Territory, a group of Hillilians were shivering and squatting in a corner with their legs hugged. They were usually so arrogant and domineering, but now they didn't even dare to fart.
Because they were very sure that with their small bodies, they were no match for those burly men.
Before daybreak, this group of guys came here carrying a lot of food. After driving them out of the warm and comfortable haystacks, they started to have a picnic here and burned their weapons as firewood.
If that's all, then it's nothing.
These people had clearly brought their own food when they came, but they still ended up digging out all the food they had worked so hard to save.
Human beings! Damn people!
Hey, uncle, please eat well and drink well.
"So, something must have happened in Mondstadt?"
After taking his gaze away from the Hilichurls, Bai Luo sat cross-legged next to the pot in a very down-to-earth manner, scooping food from the pot while asking.
I guess Adeline never expected that, although she originally thought Bai Luo was staying in the room obediently, in fact the person in the room had been replaced long ago.
The person who was in the room at this time was actually the debt handler.
"Yes, and... the people we sent into the city haven't returned either. It's as if they were missing."
The Leiying sorcerer, who was sitting next to Bai Luo, holding a bowl in his hand but had not touched the food from beginning to end, answered with a little fear.
She never thought that she would actually have the opportunity to sit down and eat with the executive.
Could it be the last meal before execution
"But what will happen in Mondstadt at this time?"
Bai Luo frowned slightly, puzzled.
Although he still doesn't know what exactly happened in Mondstadt, based on his observation of the marks and the information he obtained from adventurers outside the city, the Dark Night Hero should have broken into the Goethe Hotel last night and fought with an unknown enemy.
The battle was so fierce that it was said that the main structure of the Goethe Hotel was damaged. The elemental power of the Dark Night Heroes illuminated the night sky of Mondstadt as bright as day.
He really didn't understand who else in Mondstadt could fight Diluk to that extent.
Anastasia
Come on, the most she can do is wrestle with a bear and compete with a wolf to see whose head is harder.
But compared to Diluk... she's no match at all.
I guess Diluk doesn't even need to take out his weapon, he can kill her with one hand.
Could it be... ...some of my colleagues
It is indeed possible.
But during this period of time, apart from myself, the scattered soldiers and Rosalind, it seems that few people have a reason to go to Mondstadt, right
"Mr. Executive, do you still need us to continue to gather information?"
Looking at Bai Luo who was lost in thought, the Leiying Mage couldn't help but ask.
She had never worked under Bai Luo before, so she was not used to Bai Luo's inexplicable familiarity.
"No, you don't have to go in. Just stay nearby. If you need anything, just tell me. The Dawn Winery has all the fine wine and food. I will go into the city in person later to find out what's going on."
He didn't have enough soldiers to begin with, and the ones he had with him now were left to him by the lady before she returned to Winterfell. If he entered Mondstadt and couldn't get out like before, he would be at a great loss.
According to his plan, the Knights of Favonius should invite him to Mondstadt soon.
At that time, he would personally enter Mondstadt in his capacity as the Knight King to see which bastard had occupied the Goethe Hotel.
You can take it if you want, but you are still detaining my people.
Even if the rooster came in person this time, Bai Luo would personally give him a basket of sunset fruits.
Freshly picked!
Chapter 722: The Dagger Revealed
The lavender curtains were slowly drawn open, and while the sunlight shone into the room, the towering Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain in the distance was also imprinted in Bai Luo's eyes.
The clouds surrounding the top of the mountain and the white bones sticking out of the clouds give people a creepy feeling under the sunlight, and it makes people feel uncomfortable just by looking at them.
Fortunately, this keel is not often exposed. Most of the time it is covered by wind and snow, and it only appears in special weather.
He just stood in front of the window, not knowing whether he was looking at the beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains or at some people in the snow-capped mountains.
In the past few days, Diluk has come to him several times.
It seems like just casual chatting, but in fact it is alluding to the matter of meteorites.
Bai Luo did not hesitate. In order to enter Mondstadt smoothly, he said everything he could.
As for those details that cannot be told, I tried to reveal as many as possible.
Although Diluk concealed his own and the Knights' attitude very well, judging from his performance in the past few days, Mond's attitude is already very clear.
By tomorrow at the latest, the Knights will definitely send a representative to look for him.
Just as Bai Luo thought, the Knights arrived even faster than he imagined.
The sound of horse hooves and wheel ruts could be heard as a team of cavalrymen, led by Kaia, escorted a carriage to the outside of the Dawn Winery.
The cavalrymen did not enter the manor. In a sense... the owner of the manor did not like them to enter.
So after giving the order to stay where they were, Kaia dismounted from his horse and came to the front of the manor.
Diluk had obviously been waiting for a long time. After chatting with Kaeya for a few words, he took him into the manor.
Bai Luo decisively switched back to the Knight King profession and waited quietly for the two to arrive.
"Mr. Pendragon, I wonder if you have time. The acting leader of the Knights of Favonius would like to invite you to Mondstadt for a chat."
This time it was not the maid Adeline who knocked on the door.
It was Diluk himself.
The fact that he came here in person to deliver the message showed that both he and the Knights Templar attached great importance to this matter.
"Of course, I've been looking forward to it for a long time."
After simply packing up his belongings, Bai Luo opened the door and followed Diluk to the living room.
When we arrived at the reception room, there was inevitably another round of greetings.
However, in front of outsiders, Diluk still maintained his attitude of "I hate the Knights!" His tone was so cold that people who didn't know him would think Kaeya owed him money.
Well... I don't know if I owe any money, but I do owe a lot of wine.
"Please come this way, Mr. Pendragon. I'm sure you'll feel more at home with the Knights."
Perhaps in response to Diluk's provocation, Kaeya looked at him with a very malicious look and spoke to Bai Luo.
It can be said that it is full of gunpowder.
But in the eyes of Bai Luo, who knew the actual relationship between the two people, this performance by the two was quite interesting.
It's all fun.
Afterwards, Bai Luo followed Kaeya out of the Dawn Winery where they had lived for a while, and got on a carriage to Mondstadt.
There's obviously some story behind this carriage that the Knights got.
It's not like he had never ridden in a similar carriage before.
When I first came to Mondstadt with Krober as envoys of winter, the carriages arranged for us by the Knights were of a similar style.
However, compared with that time, the specifications this time are obviously higher, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people are qualified to sit in.
Kaiya did not get on the carriage, but rode a horse beside the carriage and escorted Bai Luo with his men.
In fact, they all knew that this person was obviously not a simple person, and the so-called escort was just a formality.
