There was a small window on the side of the carriage. After Bai Luo lifted the curtain, he was able to talk to Kaia outside.
"Last time, Miss Adeline said that you and Mr. Diluk were brothers, but looking at your relationship, it seems a little..."
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Isn't it normal for brothers to have some minor frictions?"
Kaiya had no intention of resisting Bai Luo's initiative to talk to him.
He even took the initiative to move his horse closer to the carriage where Bai Luo was sitting, so that the two of them could chat.
"By the way, Mr. Pendragon, what do you think of Mond?"
After talking to Bai Luo, Kaiya began his performance.
His words were very blunt, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he just didn't want to discuss Diluk's issue too much and wanted to change the subject.
But Bai Luo had already noticed his intention.
"It's quite nice. It's a very suitable place to live for a long time. After living here for a long time... it even gives people a slightly dangerous sense of comfort."
It was just a simple conversation, and there didn't seem to be anything strange about it.
But in fact, Kaia has started his old job again - speaking in clichés.
The seemingly abrupt change of subject is just to lower the other party's vigilance.
His real intention was to use this to obtain some useful information.
With his ability, he could easily analyze a lot of useful things from this seemingly casual sentence.
For example, the so-called sense of comfort.
When Pendragon spoke of the feeling of comfort, it was clearly in a slightly sighing tone.
This shows that he had never experienced this kind of comfort before.
That is to say... ... there might have been something like a war going on where he was before.
All in all, it is definitely not comfortable.
This also connected with another clue he had collected before, which was Pendragon's military-like sitting posture and his vigorous and decisive style.
A soldier
"I wonder how the scenery of your hometown compares to Mondstadt?"
After the previous preparation, Kaia asked this question very naturally.
What do you call this wave? It's called the final culprit.
His original purpose was to find out where the other party came from, which would make it easier to deal with them later.
Originally, he had given this task to Diluk to complete, but after his sworn brother had worked hard for several days, he actually gained nothing.
There was no choice but to go there himself.
"How can I describe it... It's a place where it's especially easy to see the stars."
Bai Luo said as if he was recalling something.
"Is it a place where you can easily see the stars? ... Mondstadt actually has a similar place called the Star-Picking Cliff. I can send someone to take you there when I have time. If you don't mind, I can also take you there myself."
While continuing to talk to the target, Kaia was actually searching for relevant information in his mind.
Where is the place where you can see the stars easily
Chapter 723 Arrival at Mondstadt
There are two roads leading from Dawn Winery to Mondstadt.
One is Drunkard's Gorge, and the other is the forest path in Qingquan Town.
Originally, Drunkard's Gap was a relatively short route, although it was not very safe as monsters had recently appeared there. But for a team of their size, ordinary monsters would not dare to approach unless the Fatui appeared.
However, considering the guests' feelings, Kaiya finally decided to take a detour and go to Qingquan Town.
"This is Qingquan Town. This hunter town has a long history. It is said that the spring water in the town contains some kind of benevolent spirits."
When introducing Qingquan Town to Bai Luo, Kaia was just telling the story according to the official statement.
To be honest, his impression of this place... ...is not actually very good.
It’s not that he doesn’t like the people here, it’s just that he has some not-so-good memories of being here before.
This memory made him afraid to touch the wine mixed by Diona for a long time.
Until now, the psychological trauma left by that glass of wine is still hard to get rid of.
"Qingquan Town..."
Bai Luo also had a deep impression of this small town.
But there is more of a dried-up spring.
Speaking of which... ... if he remembered correctly, the extinguished star that never returned seemed to have affected this town as well
I don't know if the fountain has recovered now. I'll come and take a look during my breaks from quests.
After passing Qingquan Town, you can see Mondstadt, an ancient city-state full of the atmosphere of freedom.
To say it's ancient... ...isn't quite right actually.
Because of the previous dragon disaster, a large section of Mondstadt's city wall was damaged, making the repair work a difficult task.
Later, it was Ningguang from the neighboring country Tianquan Star who sent craftsmen to help repair it.
But this does not affect the beauty of the city.
I stretched out my hand and felt the wind blowing towards me.
Perhaps because it is blessed by the god of wind, the wind in Mondstadt is different from that in other places.
It's not too chilly, nor does it seem too manic.
It was like a docile sheep, obediently passing through Bai Luo's fingertips and blowing towards a farther direction.
Before officially entering Mondstadt, Bai Luo saw a group of people standing at the city gate.
Qin, standing in the front, is particularly eye-catching.
A ceremony of this scale... Even Bai Luo, the executive officer of the Fatui of the Kingdom of Winter, has never enjoyed one.
The cavalrymen lined up to welcome them were obviously not the usual ragtag group of knights patrolling the city, but specially recruited elite knights.
For example, Eula's guerrilla squad.
This team, which has been hunting monsters and the Abyss Cult for a long time, is much more powerful than ordinary knights. As the captain, the Wave Knight Eula was specially arranged behind Jean.
But judging from her expression... ...she doesn't seem very happy
That’s right, if Bai Luo remembered correctly, the residents of Mondstadt had always believed that she was the hero of the dark night.
Although she later left Mondstadt on the pretext of going out to hunt monsters.
But as the Dark Night Hero gradually began to use the ice element, even the Lawrence family thought that the Dark Night Hero was Eula.
A few nights ago, Diluk went to the Goethe Hotel and caused a big commotion. Without going into details of what happened, this also caused the reputation of the Dark Night Hero to be raised to a new level.
It would be strange for her to be happy after knowing this, as she had just been called back from outside by Qin.
"Jin Gunnhild, Acting Leader of the Knights of Favonius, welcomes His Excellency Pendragon."
Make a fist of your left hand and place it behind your back, make a fist of your right hand and place it in front of your chest, then stretch out your fingers and swing them downward with force.
After the carriage was stable, Qin was the first to perform the knight's salute.
The knights behind her also saluted in unison.
Logically speaking, as one of the most powerful people in this country, Qin shouldn't be so polite.
But considering that the news the other party brought was very likely to save the country, Qin felt it was necessary to perform a knight's salute.
"You're welcome."
Bai Luo also responded to Qin's knight's salute.
However, he did not use the knight's salute of the Knights of Favonius, but a bow.
This is the etiquette that subordinates show to their superiors or peers, and it is also the most suitable etiquette for this occasion.
And unlike when he talked with Diluk and Kaeya, he used the title "you" for the first time, which proved his respect for the acting captain and the knights represented by the other party.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. The affairs of the city are so busy that it's hard to find time to meet you."
Looking at this boy who had the same blond shoulder-length hair and petite figure as herself... Qin felt a sense of closeness.
It wasn't just the temperament in him that made her feel very familiar, but more importantly the kindness he expressed.
It was different from observing the other person in the portrait. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she actually felt the feeling of Grand Commander Falga in the other person.
In other words... ... this young man named Pendragon is very likely to be a strong man of the same level as the Grand Commander.
This made Qin feel incredible.
"No, I am the one who should apologize for disturbing you."
He was neither humble nor arrogant when greeting, and generous and appropriate when talking. This calmness that was not in line with his age left a deep impression on Qin when she first met him.
"You are too kind. This is not a suitable place for conversation. Let's go to the Knights first."
After a brief contact, Qin also had a simple understanding of the boy named Pendragon.
After making a gesture of invitation, he took Bai Luo into the city.
"We have already taken care of the box for you. You can pick it up directly when the time comes."
On the way to the Knights, Qin took the initiative to bring up the matter of the box.
As long as the problem with the box is solved in advance, then after arriving at the Knights, they only need to discuss the matter of Tianxing.
This was also what Qin had planned long ago.
"So... have you packed everything back safely?"
After listening to Qin's words, Bai Luo smiled and asked.
This question seemed a bit puzzling, especially to the knights who came with Qin.
Aren’t the things in the box packed in the box
Only Kaia noticed the surprise on Qin's face.
In fact, there was one thing that Qin didn't tell anyone else. That was after she took Klee to dig out the box, Klee told her that the things in the box were in her backpack.
But... ... apart from her and Klee, no one else should know about it, right
Pendragon, how did you know this
After sorting out her thoughts, Qin looked at Bai Luo again, intending to explain the matter to him.
But it turned out that the other party was looking thoughtfully in the direction of the Goethe Hotel.
And he was staring at a certain layer.
Chapter 724 West Wind Church
There was no concealment in Bai Luo's look.
He seemed to meet someone's eyes, but seemed to notice nothing.
He just stood there, staring at that place.
"That's the territory of the Fatui. There have been some problems over the past few days, and it's currently under maintenance. It's better not to go there if nothing is wrong."
After seeing Bai Luo focus his attention on the Goethe Hotel, Qin reminded him in a friendly manner.
When she said that there had been problems there recently, many people in the team turned their eyes to Eula who was following behind Qin.
Even the members of her guerrilla squad were the same.
But they knew that their captain had the habit of going out for night patrols. Every time she was on patrol, the Dark Night Hero would always appear outside her patrol range by coincidence.
Then she appeared on time after the dark night hero disappeared.
In short... ... there is no way to explain it, Eula is a dark night hero.
