Section 11 Landis's Invitation

When I opened my eyes again, I saw a ceiling made of square wooden beams.

The neatly arranged planks fit together and slanted from one wall of the room to the lowerer wall on the other

The ceiling was cleaned clean, with neither the usual dust nor cascading cobwebs.

In the center of the room hangs from a wooden beam an ornate chandelier with a bulb of some kind of hedron that has never been seen before.

The flickering red glimmer in his field of vision had completely disappeared, but pain still felt all over his body.

"Hiss~Whoa~ Hmm, it's so painful! It almost hurts to die. As soon as Xu Yun raised his head, he used his arms to support his upper body and wanted to sit up, but he was hit by the pain of the pig-killing knife slashing on his body, and directly slapped the back of his head back on the pillow.

Laugh at~

The pillow collided with the back of his head, making a slight muffled sound, soft enough to soften the impact of his fall.

He gasped in pain, and the smell of good smell came in between his nose, which was fresh and naturally reminded him of the smell of bed sheets after being exposed to the sun.

Although there was pain everywhere in his body, the tingling cold feeling that had wrapped around his body had been replaced by a comfortable warmth, which made him feel a lot more relieved.

After a slight pause, Xu Yun gradually adapted to the torture brought by this pain, and then he gasped for breath, turned his head and began to look around. The furnishings in the rooms are relatively simple, but by no means austere. A light green carpet covered the floor, covering almost the entire floor, so fluffy that it looked like a layer of grass that had just sprouted in early spring.

The walls on both sides have arched openings at the edges, but there are no doors. On one wall hangs an intricately patterned tapestry, and on the other side hangs a silver-framed oil painting in the center of a field of sunflowers that makes you feel the warmth of a single glance.

Facing the foot of the bed is a large glass window that occupies a third of the entire wall, and the latticework pattern is the intricate pattern of branches common to the aristocracy of Mondstadt.

Xu Yun propped himself up and sat up, just enough to see the scenery outside through the glass window and through the camp wall.

The canopy of the trees is covered with snow, and it is dense enough to fill every corner as far as the eye can see.

The blue sky was as clean and transparent as if it had just been cleaned, and a few lovely white clouds hung in the middle of the blue sky like cotton candy, lazily and slowly drifting in the wind.

In the low bushes of the forest, a wild boar that came out to forage for food in winter was digging a hole in the snow under the trees, and did not know what to eat.

"Are you awake?" Flora walked in through the archway on her right, almost silently.

She stepped on the carpet with her bare feet, her fair skin contrasting with the tender green carpet fluff.

"What a beautiful elf." Xu Yun blurted out subconsciously.

"No matter how sweet your mouth is, you still have to pour the medicine you should drink for me." The green-haired elf rolled her eyes and held up the ceramic bowl in her hand.

"Uh······"

I don't know why, when I saw this elf, Xu Yun felt as if she had met an old friend, and she didn't have a sense of distance from her.

Maybe she looks a little like Nahida, the main grass god in her team... Well, the youth version? Or maybe it's her straightforward style of talking that makes herself feel familiar? Because it's too much like my previous self.

However, it is not quite different. When Floya spoke like this, others didn't dare to offend her, but when Xu Yun spoke in this style when she was alive, she offended many colleagues, including her boss.

"Well, I wasn't going to say no to it. By the way, Fu, how long did I sleep? Xu Yun lifted the beige blanket on his body and reached out to pick up the medicine bowl handed by Floya.

The blanket was not thick, but it was not cold at all. It's amazing. ’

No, it's the temperature in the room. But I don't see any heating facilities like fireplaces, maybe there are other means of heating in this wooden building. After all, there is a world of magic.

Hearing Xu Yun call herself Fu, Floya was slightly stunned: "This child really doesn't know anything about life." ’

"You've slept for three days, and there have been quite a few people who have come to see you in those three days. The gifts they brought are all in the bedside table for you, if you are interested, you can take a look for yourself after drinking the medicine, although I think they are all useless rags, but maybe it will be useful to you. Furoya handed the ceramic bowl containing the decoction to Xu Yun, and watched him pour the bowl of dark green soup into his stomach in one gulp, without even frowning his eyebrows.

"You're such an amazing fellow, Timmy. Other people drink the decoction I made as if they were going to battle, but you drank it without any expression. ”

'This kid is quite strong, see how long you pretend?' ’

She looked at Xu Yun with some curiosity, for fear of missing a detail.

"Okay, although there are no carbonated bubbles, but this slight tingling sensation in the mouth is really like drinking Coke, but the sweetness is not enough, a bit like coffee with only a little sugar added. I think it's pretty good, how about another bowl? Xu Yun smacked his lips, and the tip of his tongue licked back a drop of soup leaking from the corner of his mouth.

Syllable.

The slender white fingers gave him a brain meltdown.

"Dream on, do you think this decoction is easy to make? Then a bunch of ingredients were put into the alchemy cauldron and boiled for three hours to make such a bowl. If you want to drink it again, wait until tomorrow. Fluff rolled her eyes at him, and let out a disgruntled grunt from her nostrils.

"Hehe, of course you have to follow the doctor's instructions for medicine."

"Did I sleep for three days? No wonder I feel like I've slept so well. Xu Yun endured the pain all over his body and stretched.

A series of crackling sounds sounded at the spine, and inexplicably there seemed to be a warm current gushing out from the waist and eyes, climbing all the way up along the spine dragon, reaching the back of the neck and into the cranial cavity. His mind was instantly clear, and the tendons of his entire body seemed to be completely penetrated, and this feeling of comfort that he had never experienced before made Xu Yun couldn't help but let out a moan.

"Ah~ This feels great. In addition to the pain, all other abnormal blocking sensations on the body have disappeared. Fu, you're really amazing. Thank you. ”

"No, no, no, you're a freak, you have six or seven broken bones on your body, and I don't know how many contusions, but you can still move freely, I am beginning to wonder if you have become a slime in human form, and the bones in your body are all fake." As she spoke, Furoya pinched the flesh on Xu Yun's cheek and pulled it to both sides, pulling a thin face horizontally into a circle.

"I'm just straightening your bones and you're up to you. This decoction can replenish the energy in your body, stimulate your self-healing instincts, and can make you recover faster, you need to drink it for seven days in a row, today is the fourth day, and there are three days to come. ”

"You are bullying the patient." Xu Yun was pulled out of the corners of her eyes and squeezed out a few tears and said.

"Okay, you'd better lie down obediently these days, after all, the bones have just been straightened back, and if you move around, they may be misaligned again." Furoya raised her eyebrows, let go of her hand stupidly, and took the medicine bowl back from Xu Yun's hand.

"But I'm lying down with my butt and back numb, and I want to move a little." Xu Yun said: "And I think they have recovered somewhat, and it should be fine if you just move it simply." ”

I know by myself that Xu Yun has the unique ability of players to fight normally with serious injuries and disabled blood, and he is not good at showing off everywhere, in case he is caught as a research target, wouldn't he be looking for 'fun' for himself.

You must know that the Fatui guys have a lot of research maniacs, and they don't have the confidence to fight the executive now. In the game, I entered the dungeon to fight the executive boss, but I studied the teaming and playing style for a long time before I successfully cleared the level.

With his current small body, he doesn't even have a vision, how can he wrestle with the Fatui?

If the five-star characters in the Teyvat world are as strong as the Landis I saw earlier, isn't it a matter of sprinkling water for the Fatui executive to turn himself into ashes?

"Heh~ You don't want to get better yourself, but I don't care about it, if it weren't for the close observation of you, I wouldn't let you stay in my guest room. When the seven-day time limit is up, you can get the hell out of me and go to the barracks with those stinky soldiers. Floya smiled coldly, although her tone was clumsy, but the pair of good-looking eyebrows stubbornly curved, making her expression not intimidating at all.

"Ah, I almost forgot, you may not have a chance to live in the barracks, that fellow Landis said that you are helpful to the Legon Fender family, and that Legon Fender will repay his kindness and revenge, and he will send someone to pick you up in seven days, and go to the Dawn Winery to recuperate, until you recover."

"Then, when a man named Tima came to see you, he said that when you recovered, I would send you to Mondstadt to attend the Preparatory Knight Training, and with this merit, you can skip the approval process for entering the training class."

"Congratulations, our Knight-Preparer." Floya said without being salty, and she didn't know what it was like in her heart.

"Thank you, Fu."

"Having said that, I feel deserved to have made a meritorious feat or something, and the people who really participated in the battle were the patrol knights and Tima, and I didn't actually do anything."

Xu Yun rolled over and got out of bed, paced to the glass window, looked at the clear blue sky and silver frost and snow outside, and recalled the scene when the knights and hilichurls fought before, when the trees broke and roared. Thinking of the picture of himself running for his life under the crossbow arrows of the hilichurls, he said softly in a complicated tone while stroking the edge of the window:

"Originally, we were going to pass through that mountain road, and we had to encounter the hilichurls anyway, and I did this more to save myself. It's not a matter of course to save yourself, but you have even been awarded a meritorious service, and it can only be said that the adults of the Knights are really generous.

By the way, how are the patrol knight squads? ”

Fu's eyes widened as she watched the young man pacing as if nothing was wrong, and forgot to answer for a moment.

"The last time I saw them, they were surrounded by hilichurls, there were so many hilichurls that I couldn't even see them.

Tima··· Big brother, he broke a leg, even if the Vision has been revived, once he is surrounded by two or three hilichurls, that battle will definitely be very difficult. ”

Bang bang bang ~ Applause rang out. The two people in the room turned their heads to look in the direction of the door. There stood a tall, slender figure.

"Don't worry, although they were wounded and bloodied when I arrived, they were at least able to fight in the face of multiple enemies. Such injuries were common in battles in which the Knights participated, and they recovered after ten days of recuperation after the battle. ”

"It's you, Timmy, you're supposed to be the most injured of them all."

"Didn't I say before that the man named Tima came to see you and asked me to give you a message?" Floya pursed her lips dissatisfied.

"Caring is messy, I forgot about it for a while. I'm sorry~" Xu Yun showed an apologetic smile.

"Looks like you're getting along pretty well. Miss Floya, it's rare to see you get along so well with other people. Thinking about coming to Timmy's stay here for a few days, your mood becomes happier than usual. The man's voice was slightly low, slightly hoarse, and very attractive.

"Landis, if you hadn't come uninvited like this, I'd be in a better mood." Floya didn't give the future master of the Plains of Dawn the slightest face.

"I knocked downstairs on the door, but no one answered. I heard a conversation upstairs and thought that you might be taking care of the wounded, and I didn't have time to respond, so I came up without permission. I apologize if it has hurt your good mood for my unauthorized actions. Landis's mood was not affected in the slightest, and she responded to Floya easily, and bowed slightly and stroked her chest very casually.

Xu Yun looked at the man in front of him, he was only half as tall as him, and he was dressed in a well-cut and elegant wool dress that was worn on him, as if he had found the best hanger. He hung a long trench coat made of felt cloth in the crook of his arm, and the hem of the trench coat was stained with a few snow chips.

As his gaze moved up, a long dark red hair with a slightly dark color was tied into a neat ponytail at the back of his head, and a black gold-trimmed bow was adorned with a knot for binding his hair. The eyebrows of the same color are straight and thick, and only slightly curl down at the tips of the eyebrows.

The moment they met, a pair of eyes that seemed to have an unquenchable flame came into view. Even though his face was gentle, and even with a slight smile of appreciation, he still gave people a sense of oppression looking up at the mountains. This kind of coercion has diluted the affinity brought by his originally handsome face a lot.

"I came to see you with the knights on patrol before, but I just went through a process for official business, but today I saw the report handed in by the knights, and knowing your role in this matter, I decided to take a good look at our wounded hero.

To be honest, I came with curiosity. I want to see what kind of teenager can do things that far exceed what children of this age can achieve.

But when I really came here and heard what you said earlier, my mind changed again. ”

"I think it's a matter of course that you can get this feat. While it seems so incredible for your age, I insist you deserve the glory. Landis bowed again, this time at a much higher angle than he had given Floya.

Xu Yun hurriedly waved his hand and wanted to excuse himself.

"Please don't refuse, this is the respect and gratitude of the Legon Fender family, as the Lord of the Plains of Dawn, for your performance in this operation and for this noble soul in your body."

Then, Landis pulled out a beautiful money bag sewn from velvet cloth with two fingers and casually threw it on the bedside table. It's like throwing a bag of garbage.

The money bag collided with the wooden board of the bedside table, and the crisp and beautiful metal impact sounded, even if the money inside could not hold up the money bag, but the amount was definitely not small.

"Originally, I wanted to give you this money as a private expression of gratitude from the Legon Fender family, but now I feel that this is an insult to us Legon Fender and to the noble soul in you."

"I know that you were recommended by the Knight Captain Tima (Tima returned to the Order and was promoted to a position) to enter the Preparatory Knight Training School. So, I decided to participate in this recommendation together on my own behalf.

And after the completion of the training course, I promise that you can choose to come to the Dawn Plains. Becoming a knight of our Ragenfender family, although it may not have the status of a knight recognized by the Order, but believe me, the treatment will definitely only be the envy of the knights.

In addition, we at Ragefender will fund your entire expenses during the Preparatory Knighthood Class.

You may be curious, indeed, the Preparatory Knights Training School is a semi-welfare institution established by the Knights to enrich their own soldiers, and the training courses there are completely free of charge, and food and lodging are included.

But in addition to these, there are always some expenses for the prep knights beyond the course. And the funding we provide to you is these additional expenses. ”

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the money bag on the bedside table, "And these are the first month's grants." Don't be in a hurry to refuse, you can see it as an investment, I am optimistic about your future, so before you grow up, we at Leggunfender will invest in you. ”

What else can Xu Yun say, what else is the benefit of sending it to the door and refusing it. He originally didn't want to take a look at the high shelf, but of course he accepted it gladly at this time.

As the saying goes, reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, the kindness of people sent to the door, there is no reason to refuse.

He shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "What else can I say?" Your generosity has left me at a loss for how to express my gratitude. ”

"I really didn't expect that Landis, you guy, would still have a businessman side, and you would even invest." Floya, who had been watching from the side, said a little teasingly.

Landis wiped her nose with her right hand, looking away a little abruptly, not daring to make eye contact with Floya.

"There is always a first time, and as the owner of Dawn Winery, I have to learn how to operate these business things, right?" A shy smile appeared on his handsome face, and he looked a little cute.

It wasn't until this moment that Xu Yun realized that the man in front of him, who brought him a sense of oppression like a mountain as soon as he appeared on the stage, looked to be only in his early twenties, and even the beard growing on his chin only had a few sparse soft hairs. The image was in stark contrast to the bearded adult men he had seen before.

You must know that after Tima shaved her beard, she looked a little over thirty years old.

Not daring to look at Floya, he turned to look at the young man not far in front of him, stretched out a right hand and said:

"Hopefully, then, my first investment will pay off handsomely. Otherwise, I'm going to doubt my business acumen. ”

Xu Yun also stretched out his right hand, his eyes met the pair of fiery red pupils, and he looked at the black-haired boy reflected in the pair of eyes with a smile.

"You'll be proud of that decision for the rest of your life, I promise."

The big and small hands were held together, and they were shaken up and down before they separated.

"Your confidence is amazing."

"My hand skills are just as amazing. To be honest, lying in bed to recuperate is really boring. Landis, did you bring the Seven Saints to summon? Do you want to play a game? ”

"You little guy is really... Indescribable. No wonder Floya has a different attitude towards you. ”

"Then again, you're the first guy to challenge me without your own deck, and I'm not going to let it go." Landis laughed, and the mountain-like coercion on her body vanished without a trace. He took out a delicate small metal box from the inner pocket of his coat, and the hollow pattern on the outside of the box was the emblem of the Seven Saints' Summoning.

"There is no bargain at the table. There's no rule that you can't play without your own deck. Xu Yun did not show weakness.

"Strength is only based on winning and losing. There's a lot of things that don't stipulate for Lord Anemol, well, if you win, I'll give you this set of cards. Landis's interest was driven by Xu Yun, and he couldn't help but move the bedside table to another position to serve as a card table. By the way, I dragged a chair for myself.

Xu Yun sat on the bed where he was lying earlier.

As soon as Floya wanted to stop her, the two of them were already in their respective positions.

"Fu, can you prepare some refreshments, you see Lord Landis is here, we haven't entertained anything yet. And I'm a little hungry too. Xu Yun stared at Floya with pitiful eyes.

"Well, well, I've lost to you. It's true that you haven't eaten in days. Remember to control your emotions, too much mood swing will also affect the self-healing of the injury. I'll get you something to eat. Floya tapped herself on the forehead, sighed, and turned to the other arch.

"Fu, you're so good~" Xu Yun said with a smile, his hand had already grabbed the cards that Landis had placed on the table, and began to shuffle and cut the cards smoothly.

"I've never drunk the tea of a hostess once when I came to Floya, and I didn't expect to follow you today, so for this, I think my investment is worth it." Landis whispered while watching Xu Yun shuffle the cards with surprised eyes.

"It's the first time I've seen your shuffle, no wonder you're so confident, it's a veteran."

"That's not where confidence comes from, you'll understand later." Xu Yun glanced at him defiantly and said proudly.

"It's just a cup of tea, isn't it?"

Landis sneaked a glance at the room where Floya had entered, and then whispered, "My dad has been with her for decades, and he hasn't had a cup of tea. Dad said that grandpa was treated the same. I just need to go home and talk about it, hehe~ I guess I will be envious to death. Landis smiled as if the weasel had successfully stolen the hen. Stripped of the majesty on his previous body, he looked like an ordinary young man.

'Ahhh It's so informative. A drop of cold sweat crept up on Xu Yun's forehead.

"Lan ~ Di ~ Si! I hear it all! Floya shouted from the other side of the wall.

The two men at the table shrank their necks at the same time.
