Chapter 64: Tavern Gossip (Ask for Collection, Ask for Reward)
Under the side gate of Mondstadt.
Klee happily waved at Guan Feng and said, "Uncle, let's agree, tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock in the morning at the main gate of Mondstadt City, let's go on an adventure together~"
"I just wanted to say that although I look burly, I'm only 19 years old, so you should call me brother, not uncle."
"Brother?" Klee tapped her chin with her index finger and thought for a moment, "By the way, I don't know what your name is, brother?" โ
"Me, my name is Guan Feng, an adventurer."
"It's amazing, it turns out that Brother Guan Feng is an adventurer, so can you take me to the Whispering Forest tomorrow to play? I wanted to play during this time, but Sister Amber told me that there was a very, very, very~ powerful monster over there, so she didn't let me go. โ
"Since my brother is an adventurer, even if it is a terrible monster, Brother Guan Feng will definitely be able to deal with it."
Terrifying monsters? Is Amber talking about me? A small doubt appeared in Guan Feng's mind.
Then Guan Feng patted his chest: "Mmmm~ Don't worry, although my brother is a researcher of cultural relics, he is also an adventurer, in the Whispering Forest, I can guarantee that you will walk sideways!" โ
"Hee hee q (โงโฝโฆq), then it's decided, Klee I have to hurry back to my small workshop to make a bracelet for my brother, then Brother Guan Feng, we'll see you tomorrow!"
Saying goodbye to Klee, looking at the little Lori who was far away, Guan Feng's heart was at peace, ah, so cute.........
When Klee disappeared around the corner, he suddenly came to his senses.
Wait a minute!!! I wanted Klee to sign a deed of sale with me??? How did she become her playmate???
emmmmm.......... Is there really some kind of magic in Klee?
Forget it, if I really signed a deed of sale with her, the knights will definitely come to hunt me down!
.......................................
Mondstadt didn't quiet down at night, but became more noisy, and after a busy day, people were finally able to sit in the bar and drink a glass of their favorite dandelion.
"Yo, Dean, you're here to help your old man buy wine again."
"Uncle Aibu, how come I can meet you every day in the 'Angel's Gift'?" Dean complained with a smile.
"Kahaha, I'm tired every day, isn't it just to come here every night to have a drink, besides, tonight, Master Diluc himself came to mix, how can I not have a drink?"
"Is Lord Diluc here himself?" Dean looked behind the counter.
Sure enough, I saw a red-haired Diluc, wearing a vest standing behind the counter and mixing wine.
"It's really rare, I didn't expect Master Diluc to come and mix wine in person."
"Kahaha, so I've got to have a drink today anyway."
"So that's the case, then I won't bother you Uncle Aibu, I'll go buy wine for my dad first." After saying that, Dean was ready to leave the scene and go directly to the counter to buy wine.
But Ai Bu stopped Dean as soon as he could: "Wait for Dean, your old man is not in a hurry for this moment, you come over and tell us a story first." โ
"Storytelling?" At this moment, Dean was stunned: "Isn't it you elders who tell the story to me, the junior?" Why is it my turn to tell you stories? โ
"Hey, don't say that, all the gossip in Mondstadt today is on the Lord you followed this morning."
"You said Lord Guan Feng?"
"Yes, yes, that's him, the inhabitants of Mondstadt City were affected by the sudden appearance of the 'sun' on the side of Wolf Ridge last night, and as a result, your lord swaggered into the city this morning with a huge dragon wing on his back."
"Now basically everyone thinks that it was your lord who slayed the dragon in Benwolf Ridge last night, and the merchants who passed through Benwolf Ridge today also brought back the news, saying that there was a mess over there, and the entire Benwolf Ridge was plowed over."
"It's basically a fact of the whole of Mondstadt right now, but I don't know why the Order hasn't made an announcement until now."
Hearing Ai Bu say this, Dean really knew some inside information, originally Lord Guan Feng's achievements should indeed be commended by the Knights of Favonius, but it seems that because of some diplomatic pressure from the Fatui's side, there has been no announcement.
But Dean really can't say these things to the people.
"Hey, Uncle Aibu, you know, our Knights have confidentiality rules."
"Hey, I'm not trying to find out about the internal affairs of the Knights, you can tell me about your Lord Guan Feng? Now the whole city is very curious, and even some unmarried daughters are frantically seeking the contact information of the adult. โ
"Hmm....... I can talk to you about adult things. With that, Dean sat down next to Ai Bu and began to tell everything he knew.
"Uncle Ai Bu, you don't know how powerful Guan Feng is."
..........................
Slowly, Dean retold everything that happened that day to Ai Bu and the others.
"Alas, what a merciful adult, if I encounter such unfair treatment and don't let you lose your money, I will definitely not give up."
"Alas, and now it seems that he had a very sad past before, 'I didn't protect everything I had before, I was a loser', tsk, even such a terrifying existence that can slay dragons failed to protect everything about himself, I really don't know how terrible the disaster he encountered at that time was."
Dean nodded thoughtfully, "And that's not all, when I showed the way to the adults before, the adults were stunned for about ten seconds as soon as they entered Mondstadt, and he didn't react until I called him." โ
"It's certainly impossible for an existence like an adult to remain silent for so long because of the prosperity of Mondstadt, I think he must be reminiscing about the past."
"And later, when I took the adults to eat at the Deer Hunter Restaurant, the adults didn't know the currency of Fox at all, and I think the adults must have forgotten about it because they hadn't been close to the human city for too long."
Ai Bu sighed: "It's really jealous, by the way, Dean, have you seen what that adult looks like?" Handsome or not? โ
Dean shook his head with a wry smile: "No, adults always wear armor, I used to want to eat with him, but he told me that he was burned all over his body, so he didn't want to take off his armor to meet people." โ
"Burns all over my body??? Oh my God, that's terrible. โ
"Yes, there are times when I really wish Lord Barbatos could bless a great man like him." Dean sighed for a while: "But, I think the adult is so powerful now, it must have something to do with his sad past." โ
"Uncle Ai Bu, you don't know, Lord Guan Feng's physical strength is really terrifying, the 300-pound elemental axe, in the hands of adults, is as light as a piece of paper, when I was at his house before, I also quietly tried the armor he replaced, guess what?"
"What's wrong?"
"I can barely lift one of the armours! I estimate that the weight is about 200 pounds! โ
"One arm armor has 200 pounds?? Then wouldn't his full-body armor have to approach 2,000 pounds? Hey, is he a human or a monster?? โ
"The strength of the adult's body is indeed at the monster level, but it's a pity that I didn't see the scene when the adult and the dragon fought hand-to-hand....... What a shame........ Hmm........."
Dean, who realized that he seemed to be speechless, hurriedly covered his mouth: "Ahaha, that Uncle Aibu, my dad is still waiting for me at home, I'll leave first!" โ
After saying that, he ran away from the 'Angel's Gift', leaving only the people who looked at each other in shock.
