Chapter 657: It's normal for a retired uncle to take care of a child

Knights Building, Banquet Hall,

As a place dedicated to banquets for the Order,

Not everyone is qualified to come here.

Normally, it would only be open when the Knights had cleared out the large monster spots, or on some festival days.

But the news of the visit of Wang Daoyi and his wife has just reached Mondstadt.

Jean cleaned up the place and began to prepare for the feast.

As for the rest of the Knights, there is no opinion,

Even the Aeolus Church agrees with this.

Receiving a god and his wife cannot be overstated.

The Knights of Favonius who led the way came here, only to find that it was not only the knights who were waiting here,

Acquaintances like Bennett, Fischl, and Mona are also here.

There are also some people in Mondstadt who I don't know, but judging by the way they dress, they are probably either rich or expensive.

Seeing Wang Daoyi and Xiangling coming,

Captain Qin greeted him personally: "Welcome, I hope you and Lady Xiangling can have fun in Mondstadt." ”

Knowing Wang Daoyi's identity, Qin didn't say anything about wishing the wind to bless you.

Wang Daoyi nodded at the piano and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, Xiangling and I are just here to play." ”

Then followed Qin into the banquet hall, Wang Daoyi looked around, as the protagonist of the banquet,

Everyone was watching him.

Except for a few familiar friends, most of them looked at him with awe in their eyes.

The presence of a true god in front of them puts a lot of pressure on them.

However, even under these pressures, they still appeared at the banquet,

In order to see the side of the gods.

Wang Daoyi smiled at everyone: "Thank you for preparing this banquet for me and my wife, I feel everyone's enthusiasm, and I hope you don't hold back." ”

Obviously, Wang Daoyi is the guest, but now he advises others not to be restrained, but he feels that he is the host.

This is the disparity in status and power.

As soon as Wang Dao appeared here, he was the host of this banquet.

Unless Barbatos descends, he can take back the identity of the master.

Hearing Wang Daoyi's words, everyone raised their wine glasses one after another to worship the gods.

Retracting his gaze from everyone, Wang Daoyi turned his gaze to a few familiar people: "It's been a long time since I saw you. ”

"It didn't last long, after all, the wedding was only a few days away." Diluc's cold face was warmer than usual.

"I didn't expect you to come to the Knights' Banquet."

"The knights under Jean's leadership have been cleaned up a lot, although it is still not satisfactory, but this banquet is for you, and I will naturally be willing to come."

Wang Daoyi knew about his grievances with the Knights, and Diluc was not surprised.

His story is not a secret, and if you have the heart to inquire about it, you can always know.

"Diluc, seniorβ€”" Jean glanced at Diluc with some embarrassment.

Diluc's grievances in the Knights cannot be explained in a sentence or two.

"Ha, it's Lord Diluc who appreciates his face, hehe, then when we leave, please ask Lord Diluc to help me get more wine, I drank everything I took away last time." Wang Daoyi didn't care about Diluc's feud with the Knights, he was more interested in the drinks at Dawn Winery.

Diluc didn't refuse, and nodded slightly: "No problem, I'll tell Eze, when you leave, just go to the winery and get it." ”

"Okay, let's go check on Butler Ezer and Head Adeline's maid too." Wang Daoyi chuckled.

Hearing Wang Daoyi's words, Diluc's expression became more soothing, "Ezer and Adeline often talk about how you and Xiangling, Winery and Liyue have helped you a lot. ”

Wanmintang is selling the wine of Dawn Winery, which can be regarded as helping Dawn Winery open a new market.

"Don't talk about it anymore, I'm alone with you, it's a little annoying." Diluc glanced to the side, and many people who wanted to come over were staring at it.

"Then feel free to do so." Wang Daoyi also knew that there would definitely be no fewer people looking for him today.

Even if strange dignitaries and nobles would definitely not dare to disturb him rashly, those who knew each other would definitely come over and say a few words.

After this feast, some of Mondstadt's interests will probably be redistributed again.

Turning their eyes away, they found that Xiangling was eating food with Diona and Klee, and no one around dared to disturb them.

This is normal, although there are many noble ladies who want to take the lady route,

But seeing the scene of Xiangling and Diona chatting happily together, they really didn't dare to disturb.

Diluc walked away from Wang Daoyi, and the eyes of many people on the side lit up.

Soon, a friend who was not very familiar with Wang Daoyi walked to Wang Daoyi's side.

"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty."

Eula, who was out of place with the people around her, walked to Wang Daoyi's side, followed by Amber.

At the lake of fruit wine, Eula awakened from a dream and made up her mind to give up a lot of profits and take Lawrence out of the pit of Mondstadt.

Now that Eula thinks about it, it was by the lake at the beginning, and only the god Wang Daoyi has the ability to let her experience that dream.

"Needless to say, without Barbatos' will, I would not have been able to influence his people, Lawrence. He never gave up. In front of Wendy's people, Wang Daoyi naturally did not speak ill of Wendy, but praised a few words.

Eula's cold face showed a hint of excitement: "Lawrence has never turned his back on Lord Barbatos. ”

"I think Barbatos understands that, too, and that's why He is willing to give you another chance, and that you have done a good job and lived up to His expectations, and the name Lawrence will be glorified again in your hands."

For Eula, Wang Daoyi is really optimistic,

The situation of the Lawrence family is not that everyone has the ability and courage to directly have a showdown with the Knights.

Give up the last assets of the Lawrence family,

Giving up the last dignity of the Lawrence family,

Abandon everything the Lawrence family has in Mondstadt,

In exchange for the opportunity for Lawrence to re-emerge in the snowy mountains.

Or, in the eyes of some, Eula is even a betrayer.

The people of Mondstadt believe that Eula has betrayed the Knights,

The remnants of the Lawrence family believe that Eula has betrayed the family.

The pressure on Eula is greater than any of his peers Wang Daoyi knows.

"Thanks, thank you very much, I will."

The recognition from the gods made Eula a little more determined in her heart.

"Haha, let's go, the banquet is still very long, maybe you can talk to some people, the specialty of the Snow Mountain is the key to Lawrence's resurgence." Wang Daoyi smiled and encouraged again.

"Hmmm! I understand. Eula nodded vigorously, and then left with Amber.

Many people who were looking at Wang Daoyi changed their eyes when they looked at Eula again,

Presumably, the Lawrence family's life will be much better in the future.

At the very least, they can buy a lot of daily necessities at a reasonable price.

After Eula leaves, a mature big sister comes to Wang Daoyi's side.

"I really didn't expect that the cutie who was reading in the library at the beginning is now so powerful."

"Miss Lisa laughed, but Miss Lisa, the Akademiya still misses you."

"Akademiya, you can go back and have a look if you have time, but it's better to lead a scientific research team." A hint of nostalgia appeared in Lisa's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

She doesn't hate her time in Sumeru, but she is happy with her time in Mondstadt.

It's okay to go to Sumeru to play, but it's okay to do scientific research.

Wang Daoyi shook his head: "Ha, Gulesh will definitely be disappointed." ”

Lisa's expression remained unchanged, and she was still smiling: "With Senior Brother Gafort here, without my help, Tutor Gulesh can complete the research." ”

"How can the study of [eye] be so easy......" Wang Daoyi chuckled.

There was a hint of resistance in Lisa's calm eyes, and she didn't like to mention the word "eye" very, very much.

"Everything has a price, doesn't it?" Lisa muttered.

Wang Dao nodded: "I agree with your point of view on this point." ”

The study of the eye is a taboo subject within the Akademiya.

However, from the time of Eden Azar to the current Akademiya, this project has not been stopped.

Although the progress of the project is very mediocre, the Akademiya has been carrying it out.

Digging out more knowledge from the Eye is the only goal of this project.

Lisa used to be the most shining researcher of this project,

However, after an experiment, she chose to abandon the project, and even left the Sumeru Akademiya directly, choosing to work as an ordinary librarian in the library of Mondstadt.

As for what Lisa saw at that time, what she knew, and what she got from the [eye], no one knows so far.

But there is no doubt that Lisa is strong.

She is strong enough for others to call her; Archmagister.

Hearing Wang Daoyi's approval of her concept, Lisa finally let out a chuckle, as if she had changed back to the big sister who liked to flirt with others.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, if you have time, the Mondstadt Library is always ready to welcome you, of course, it doesn't support long-term loans."

Lisa turned away.

Immediately after, Albedo, with blond hair, walked over.

"Looks like you and Lisa had a good conversation."

Albedo was accompanied by a girl, Sucrose, his apprentice.

As Albedo's apprentice, Sucrose was naturally invited to the banquet.

However, Sucrose is not very good at dealing with them, and just follows Albedo.

"I agree with part of Lisa's philosophy that everything that should be done must be rewarded, and that there must be some price to pay for gaining knowledge from [eye]."

Wang Daoyi answered Albedo's question, and then looked at Sucrose,

"Sucrose go to Xiangling to play, you see Noelle is gone."

Sucrose hesitated for a moment and looked at Albedo.

Albedo nodded, "Go ahead, have fun." ”

Sucrose then ran to the girls in small steps, but it seemed that he was also looking for Noelle.

Retracting his gaze from Sucrose, Albedo looked at Wang Daoyi again: "Then why don't you stop the Akademiya's project?" ”

"Because it is not necessary to prevent scholars from seeking knowledge at a cost that has not yet occurred, it will not be recognized by scholars."

There is another point that Wang Daoyi did not say,

With him and Nahida there,

Even if the scholars cause some bad changes, they can protect Sumeru.

Human beings are always making progress through lessons, which may cause some disasters, but can make people stronger.

Albedo raised his eyebrows slightly: "Well, it seems that you are very confident. ”

"Haha, there is no security with advanced knowledge, you should know this very well."

"That's true."

"By the way, you said you were going to Fontaine during the day, do you have a plan?" Wang Daoyi was excited, and Albedo said that he had the idea of going to Fontaine.

Albedo nodded: "I contacted the Knight of Honor, she will leave for Fontaine in a month, and I will go with her when the time comes." ”

"Okay, then I won't be with you."

"You can have fun with Xiangling, huh? Qin is here, I should be looking for you for something, I'll leave first. Albedo smiled and turned away.

"Sorry, it looks like I bothered you to talk to Albedo." Jean looked apologetic.

Wang Daoyi shook his head: "It's not a disturbance, we've finished talking, Captain Qin is here, is there something wrong?" ”

Jean: "Yes, there are some things I'd like to talk to you about. ”

"Please." Wang Daoyi's expression was a little serious.

The other party prepared a welcome banquet for him, and he naturally wanted to serve snacks.

Jean said bluntly, "It's about the Grand Master and the captain of the Fatui. ”

Wang Daoyi was a little more serious.

"According to the information sent back by Mika, after our tripartite cooperation to clear the demon tide, the Fatui seem to have drawn some troops, and after investigating on the Grand Master's side, it was found that those forces seemed to have been invested in Nata's side."

"Nata?" Wang Daoyi frowned slightly, "It seems that Capitano took time out after the demon tide." ”

Before, at the edge of the world, [Captain] Capitano was dragged by the magic tide,

However, as the demon tide was wiped out by the tripartite effort, Ms. Alice began to repair the world barriers, resulting in fewer and fewer monsters.

Capitano gradually freed up his hand.

Fontaine had the servant Arecino in charge, and the captain Capitano had his sights set on Nata.

As a country of fire and war, Nata and the captain, a general-style character, are naturally very compatible.

Thinking slightly in his mind, Wang Daoyi nodded at the qin: "I understand, but I don't know much about Nata's side, the God of Fire hasn't resumed contact with us yet, I will send someone to Nata to have a look, but I won't interfere directly." ”

"We hope you can share anything new with us." Jean pleaded.

Wang Daoyi: "Of course, if there is any news, I will inform you." ”

In fact, Wang Daoyi didn't pay much attention to this matter.

First of all, no matter what the captain goes to Nata for, he can't get rid of the heart of God.

Secondly, Nata has been closed off for too long, there is no communication with other countries, and the god of fire does not know what the situation is, so it is better to care about Nata's situation than to put his power on Fontaine.

At least Fontaine, the current god of water, is interesting at first glance.

After the head of the Qin troupe left, no one came to disturb Wang Daoyi again.

It is said that the banquet was held for Wang Daoyi and his wife, but in fact, most of the dignitaries in Mondstadt were communicating with each other.

Wang Daoyi sat on the sofa of the banquet, thinking slightly, completely ignoring the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd from time to time.

It's Xiangling who is laughing and playing on the other side,

Diona, Mona, Fischl, Noelle, Sucrose......

Several girls surrounded Xiangling, and they chatted happily.

"Xiangling, when will you have a baby?"

Diona looked at Xiangling's belly and seemed to be imagining the situation of a baby inside.

Xiangling Xiafei shook her head a little shyly: "That's that simple." ”

She had already asked Wang Daoyi this question,

And Wang Daoyi told her that the current life form and life level of the two are too different.

It is almost impossible for Xiangling to conceive Wang Daoyi's child.

Even if you're pregnant now, it's not necessarily a good thing.

Wang Daoyi's heirs, just the supply and demand for the mother's nutrition, is not what the current Xiangling can bear.

Only after the power of the child is integrated into Xiangling's body, and she is transformed into an immortal seed, and has the power of authority, can she really consider the matter of pregnancy.

"Baby, yes, is it the same baby as Klee?"

A cute little head poked over from the side,

The little guy looked at Xiangling and imagined what a little Klee would look like.

Xiangling smiled and hugged Klee: "It must be a cute baby like Klee." ”

The girls on the side laughed.

Klee had a hint of ignorance in her eyes, not knowing why her sisters were laughing,

But when everyone is happy, Klee is happy,

So little Lori also showed a happy smile.

The laughter of the girls also 7 attracted the attention of others on the side,

However, after seeing Xiangling and Klee in Xiangling's arms, everyone still consciously withdrew their gaze.

Whether it is Xiangling's identity or Klee's identity, it is not something they can covet at will.

The contemplative Wang Dao was awakened by laughter,

Looking at the smiling girls, he showed a hint of curiosity and walked over: "What are you all laughing at?" ”

Xiangling immediately blushed.

Diona: "We're talking about whether you and Xiangling's children will be as cute as Klee in the future." ”

"Oh!" walked up to Xiangling and naturally hugged her thin waist, "Of course, it must be a cute little guy like Klee." ”

will be as cute as Klee, which Wang Daoyi never doubts,

Moreover, his heirs are likely to be even more destructive than Klee.

Once he inherited the bloodline of Wang Daoyi,

Then the growth of this child will not be worse than that of the Red King, who is the heir of the high heavens.

Klee needs to do bad things and make bouncing bombs,

Wang Daoyi's heir, I'm afraid that when his mind moves, the element will explode.

After thinking about it, Wang Daoyi felt that when the time came, he could throw the child to Grandma Ping or Zhongli.

Anyway, these two usually have nothing to do.

Think about it, Zhongli took the child all day long, for fear that this child would suddenly burst something with an elemental ray,

This kind of thing seems to be quite fun.

Moreover, he is a retired old man and helps take care of the children, which is also very normal and reasonable.

Xiangling blushed, shy, and expectant.

Give birth to a baby as cute as Klee,

She seems to be a little impatient.

Sensing that Xiangling's eyes were beginning to change when she looked at her, Wang Daoyi's hand around her thin waist also exerted a little harder.

The two looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word.

The feast ended in a joyous atmosphere,

Everyone got what they wanted.

Although many people have not been able to say a word to Wang Daoyi at all,

But their presence at this feast was enough for them to play a role in the division of interests within Mondstadt for the rest of the day.

Even if you don't get new benefits, at least you can keep what you have.

Simply because they welcomed a god at the feast.
