Chapter 19 Alternative Transactions
"It's really unlucky, I'm still showing my feet under such strict precautions, and I'll be a dog when I take this job in the future!"
Su Mu is very distressed now, the Knights of Favonius are all out of the nest, and the success of the encirclement and suppression is a sure thing, and the matter of bringing the two out of the abyss camp will be reported, I am afraid that I will have to be followed by Rosaria's white slime.
In the distant sky, a big crooked bird swooped over to this side, and the red rabbit ears were unusually gloomy, Su Mu hurriedly avoided it to the side, and was almost hit by the other party.
"Whew~ Finally landed safely." The other party patted his small chest, then put away his embarrassed posture, and solemnly gave Su Mu a standard knightly salute.
"Hello, I'm Amber, a trainee scout knight, are you an adventurer Su Mu?"
"Yes, what about mission credentials?"
"No~ This is the mission credential, thank you for providing the news in time, your information is very timely this time to successfully destroy the Abyss Church camp!"
Amber took out a task voucher and handed it to Su Mu with both hands, and solemnly saluted again.
"If you hadn't provided us with the information this time, Mondstadt would be in big trouble. By the way, Captain Qin wants to meet you and thank you in person. ”
After Amber said this, three options appeared in front of Su Mu's eyes.
[Option 1: Promise Amber and cooperate with Amber to take everyone to see Qin.] Completion Reward: Jue String (Four-Star Purple Weapon)】
[Option 2: Promise Amber to go with Amber to see Jean now.] Completion Reward: Slime Puree +10]
[Option 3: Gesture to the task voucher in your hand and tell Amber: "Since the mission reward has been obtained, my mission is considered to have been created.] I don't want to have too much to do with the Knights of Favonius. "Completion Bonus: Elemental Mastery +1]
This answer was exactly what Su Mu wanted, and he immediately chose three, signaled the voucher in his hand, and said to Amber: "Since the task reward has been obtained, my task is completed." I don't want to have too much to do with the Knights of Favonius. ”
"Huh......? Refused? Alright then, I will relay your answer to Captain Jean, and may the winds of Mondstadt walk with you. ”
Amber covered her mouth in some surprise, Su Mu's choice was too unexpected, this was an opportunity that many adventurers cherished very much, after all, the head of the Qin troupe was a well-known workaholic, and it was not easy to meet her.
However, since Su Mu refused, she had no reason to ask, so she separated from Su Mu and went to pick up the newcomers back to Mondstadt.
……
The Hall of the Knights of Favonius, inside Jean's office.
"Commander Qin, the news from the front has come back, the situation report on the front line here."
A Knight of Favonius quickly walked into Jean's office and handed the frontline report to Jean's commander.
Jean immediately stopped what she was doing, took the report, tore off the paint, and looked at the letter word by word.
The furrowed brow stretched slightly.
"Well done! You go to the Goethe Grand Hotel and go there to celebrate when the knights from the front line come back. In addition, inform the public of this news, and it is time for everyone's tense hearts to relax. ”
The victory in the Lookout Hills is exciting news for Mondstadt.
Ever since Grand Master led most of the Knights of Favonius on his expedition, Mondstadt has been filled with a sense of unprotected nervousness, the Abyssal Order's constant tentative attacks, the halt of the harbor, the small movements of the Fatui, and the acute problems caused by the economic downturn......
Everything is an unsolvable problem, Qin who is sitting in this position is trembling, day and night dare not stop, and even Lisa, who is lazy every day, can't help but want to help.
"The battle line against Mondstadt has been locked, and once the Stormterror and the unknown creatures of the Wolf Leader in the west and the Abyss Order in the east form a siege, Mondstadt will not be able to hold it.
Now that the east has defeated the base camp of the Abyss Order in one fell swoop, there is a flaw in the battle line, and then it will be able to draw out manpower to fight the Stormterror with all its might.
If only Lord Barbatos, the god of wind, were here, after all, Stormterror was once one of the four guardians of Mondstadt......"
Jean sighed, took a sip of her coffee, and continued to bury herself in her work.
Mondstadt, the 'Angel's Gift' tavern
"This is your 'afternoon death.'" Charles, the bartender, placed the mixed wine on Kaeya's table.
"Is your Lord Diluc here?"
Kaeya asked casually, not expecting Charles to answer, so he waved his hand to let the other party leave.
"I heard that the Wangfeng Mountain has wiped out the camp of the Abyss Order, why don't you go to Qin's place to report your work, what are you doing here?"
A calm voice came from behind, and it seemed that Mondstadt could be safer with his presence.
"It's still the death of the afternoon, and this is not like the wine that heroes should drink."
Lord Diluc, with dazzling red hair, asked as he stood behind Kaeya.
"Didn't I make a big mistake and take refuge in you?"
Kaeya didn't look back, and took another bite of Death in the afternoon, a heavy taste that seemed to drown out some of the pain.
"The Abyss Order on the other side of the Wangfeng Mountain has basically been exterminated, but because of Kaeya's radical strategy, the Knights of Favonius have buried seven new blood."
Rosalia sat across from Kaeya with a glass of cider.
"Three deaths, four memories of the Abyss Order camp due to the loss of the Vision, is not good news for Mondstadt right now.
And this time I was able to find such an ingenious opportunity to take out the Wangfeng Mountain Base Camp in one go, it was completely facilitated by Su Mu, in other words, the leader of the Zephyr Knight team in front of you had no merit this time, so I hid here to drink. ”
Rosaria took the initiative to clink glasses with Kaeya and drank the cider from the glass.
"My previous intelligence showed that the Knights of Favonius and the Abyss Church had been in a stalemate, and I was surprised that they had pulled out the stronghold overnight, but I didn't expect it to be an adventurer who broke the balance."
When Diluc heard Su Mu's name, he hugged his chest with his left hand and propped his index finger on the tip of his chin in thought.
"Specifically, it should be said that it was to prepare the Knight of Favonius Rehya to impulsively visit the camp of the Abyss Church at night, and Su Mu rescued her, which caused the Abyss Order's formation to be completely chaotic, and the Knight of Favonius took the opportunity to bite the other party's tail and end the battle.
But judging from the intelligence, this Su Mu only released thick smoke to disturb the vision of the Abyss Order, and took the opportunity to take Rehya and Leah out of the way, and did not have a head-on conflict with the Abyss Order.
Also from the scene, I found this. ”
Kaeya carefully unfolded the handkerchief from her bosom, with something black powdery on it.
"It's ...... Black powder? ”
Diluc stained some with his gloves, looked at it, sniffed it in front of his nose, and guessed.
"Well, it's black powder. And judging by the shard style, it should be Klee's bouncing bomb. That's why I'm here, and I want to know the source of the Sumu bomb through your channels.
Because Klee's bombs are very tightly controlled, it is rare to get their hands on her, and exposing this thing in front of the Abyss Order will inevitably make them have some bad intentions. ”
"You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll investigate."
With that, Diluc left the tavern, seemingly not wanting to say another word to Kaiado.
"There's nothing going on here, so I'll have to deal with the Stormterror matter with my hands free."
Seeing Diluc take the bait, Kaeya and Rosaria clinked glasses again, but the atmosphere was less depressing.
"I'll continue to keep an eye on that Su Mu, if he does something bad, I'll fix it here."
The glass was turned upside down, and Rosaria disappeared into the shadows.
