Chapter 833: About the Knights' Expedition
Jiang Bai reached out and carried her schoolbag, which was really heavy.
Running around with such a heavy schoolbag every day, won't it really weigh you down?
"Where have you been playing lately?"
"In the ruins of the Wind Dragon, the Great Dragon Dragon flies around with Klee, it's fun!"
Klee exaggeratedly opened her hands to describe how exciting and fun Jiang Bai was.
Ever since the Stormterror incident, Klee has gone to play with Dvalin when she has nothing to do, and Dvalin likes the little guy a lot.
"Then you can take me with you next time, I'll fly on Dvalin's back......"
"No problem, no problem!"
Jiang Bai walked forward slowly with Klee, chatting about some topics that children would be interested in.
Although he came to find Albedo, it was rare to visit, and he was not in a hurry, so it was good to rest and relax.
Kaeya tossed a coin and walked over from the corner of the street rather lazily, looking at Jiang Bai with some surprise.
"Yo, isn't this Jiang Bai? How do you have time to come to Mondstadt? ”
Jiang Bai put his hand on his shoulder, "Of course I think of our cavalry captain!" ”
"Oh, that's what an honor for me." Kaeya smiled as if she hadn't heard the lie at all.
"What has Captain Kaeya been up to lately?"
"Patrolling, drinking, there's nothing to do."
"But you, busy man, didn't you go to Sumeru? How's it going to be over there? ”
"I've learned a lot over there." Jiang Bai sighed with emotion.
Compared to Sumeru, where all sorts of hidden dangers are buried, Liyue and Mondstadt are truly peaceful.
"Oh, let's hear it." Kaeya raised an eyebrow, interested.
You must know that Kanria is under the ground of Sumeru, and Sumeru is meaningless and is the country with the most secrets.
It's a pity that he doesn't know much about Sumeru, and he hasn't been there a few times.
"You want to hear me tell a story, but this can't be a good wine and food?"
"Klee wants to listen to stories, too!" Klee's eyes flickered, and she jumped up to catch the attention of the two.
Looking at Klee's schoolbag bouncing and shaking with her behind her, Jiang Bai was really worried that the bomb inside would explode with a bang.
"Okay, okay, Klee, let's listen together!"
"Let's go, please go to the deer hunter and eat carrot fried meat with honey sauce!"
"Brother Kaeya, Klee wants to eat grilled fish!"
"No problem!"
It's really pleasant to sit outside a restaurant where there aren't many people, drinking crisp drinks and blowing a warm breeze.
"Once upon a time, there was a huge tree that connected the world, and it recorded the secrets of all the world. But then, Taiki fell ill. The elf who guarded the large number of trees exhausted their own lives in order to heal the tree, but the elf left a seed......"
Jiang Bai told what happened in Sumeru in a fairy tale tone, and Klee listened to it with relish.
“…… The seed grows into a new elf, only the elf is locked up... Later, with the help of everyone, the elf cured the big tree......"
"Sounds like another big event." Kaeya sighed emotionally.
Although Jiang Bai is in the tone of a fairy tale, he can still hear many details from the story.
During this time, he also learned a lot of news from Sumeru, but these news came from merchants and adventurers who traveled around, and they only knew a rough idea.
But from these few words, we can also know that Sumeru is undergoing a great change.
The person in front of you is the one who directly experiences it.
"It's really a big deal, but fortunately, it's a happy ending, and it's a joy for the audience."
Jiang Bai picked up the wine glass and touched the glass with him.
"Haha, if you publish a biography, it is estimated that you will become a new legendary adventurer."
"Don't be, I'm just an ordinary soul crosser in the Afterlife Hall, but I have a serious job."
"Unremarkable? Is this modesty or boasting? ”
"Why can't you have both?"
"It's you, I'm ashamed of myself, it's better than ......"
Klee held the sweet drink in both hands, biting the straw, looking at Jiang Bai and then at Kaeya, but she really didn't understand what they meant.
The world of adults is so complicated.
Jiang Bai suddenly turned the topic around, "When will the Grand Master of your knight order come back?" I haven't seen it yet. ”
"Who knows when I'll be back? But some time ago, I came back with a letter saying that they had arrived at their destination......"
Kaiya didn't hide this information from Jiang Bai, everyone was an acquaintance, and there was no need to be tempted.
However, it is impossible to say everything, only to disclose appropriately.
"Oh? I still don't know where the Knights' expedition went. ”
"I don't know much, I just know that it's a very dangerous place, far from Mondstadt. Even the acting head of the regiment, Qin, doesn't know much. ”
The expedition was facilitated by Grand Master Falga. The destination, the cause, is not known, only a secret left over from the past that must be solved.
It was such a secret that the expeditionary force had taken away nearly eighty percent of Mondstadt's combat power.
Had it not been for the Grand Master's prestige in the Order and the Archbishop's efforts, such a secret expedition would not have been supported.
"If it's so far from Mondstadt, why do you have to go on an expedition?"
Jiang Bai had never heard Ningguang or Yelan say anything about this.
Probably as a secret, he is not in the scope of knowing.
It's like he's never seen a few other Seven Stars, especially the one in charge of military affairs.
While most of the Seven Stars are reluctant to reveal their identities, it's a reasonable guess that this person hasn't been in Liyue for the past few years.
Kaeya shook the bottom of the middle of the glass and refilled it.
"Because it's not just about Mondstadt, it's about Teyvat as a whole. Five hundred years ago, the Knights' expedition was fruitless, and now that they have saved up so long, it is time to solve some things that should have been solved. ”
Back then, the Grand Master used such rhetoric to convince the people of the Knights and take away the elite of the Knights.
"The Grand Master has written that he has met the captain of the Fatui in the north, and that the two sides are grasshoppers on a rope at the moment, and the rest is nothing."
The letter from the Grand Master was full of homely things, and only a few words about the expedition were mentioned, not much, but in short, this letter was a report of peace.
The distance to the north from Mondstadt was too far for the use of fowl to communicate and only primitive manpower, making this letter a rare one.
"How often does the Grand Master write from you?"
"Once a year."
Who wouldn't want to write more? But there is no way, it takes a knight to run for more than half a year to pass a letter.
