Chapter XVI: Conflict
There is an old saying in Liyue that has been adapted by Hu Tao very well, and Ruo Ban agrees with it.
If you want to have an iron relationship, you must carry the white tassel gun together, listen to Yanfei explain the law in the prison together, be slapped by the teacher when you go to private school together, and go to Ying'er to buy porcelain together.
And at present, Ruo Ban and Bennett undoubtedly belong to the relationship of carrying the white tassel gun together, which also makes the relationship between the two people much better, and the ointment of Baizhu is also powerful, and during the time when he returned to the Adventurers' Guild from the ruins, Bennett's injuries have been healed, and Catherine, who is in charge of handing over the commission, actually didn't see Bennett's injuries.
"This is the reward for the commission, please count the number of Mora."
"Thank you, Miss Catherine."
After taking a bag of Mora from Catherine's hand, the happy Bennett did not count it, and his years of experience as an adventurer convinced him that Catherine would not make any mistakes in the commission payment, and after pouring half of the bag of Mora to Ruoban, Bennett said goodbye to Ruoban.
"Do you want to be an adventurer, sir, I noticed from the beginning that you have the qualifications to be a great adventurer, you..."
"Stop, stop, I don't have any interest in adventurers, Miss Catherine's rhetoric is better for someone else."
Although he admires the spirit of exploration and fearlessness of these adventurers, many secrets buried in the ground are rediscovered by these adventurers, and even fame and fortune have directly become legends in the story of bards.
But that is just one example of thousands of adventurers, many of whom do not see the reality clearly, abandon their wives and children to embark on the path of adventurers with the mentality of becoming rich overnight and fame-stricken Teyvat.
For the sake of greed in their hearts, they ignored their elderly parents, their hard-working wives, and their children, who had not seen their fathers since birth, and embarked on this thorny road, all they cared about was Mora and the legendary experience that would follow.
It's a pity that too many of them end up in the cheapest coffin in the Hall of the Dead, and sometimes Ruo Ban, who helps Hu Tao organize the funeral, has seen the family members of these adventurers at the funeral more than once, shabby clothes, emaciated bodies, and sallow faces caused by malnutrition, and every time he sees it, Ruo Ban can't help but secretly put down some Mora at the funeral.
If it weren't for the kindness of the generation of deceased hall owners when adventurers became popular, he couldn't bear to see Liyue's adventurers buried in a hurry after they died, so he built some cheap coffins at a loss, which were used until Hu Tao's generation.
Ruoban had also discussed the profession of adventurer with the Ryuking, and what Rata's remark made Ruoban remember very clearly was that a profession that neither produced nor created value for Liyue could attract so many people to join one after another, and there must be a pair of hands behind this profession that drove everything.
"You unlucky boy, get out of here, can you afford to get my clothes dirty?"
"Look at it, look at it, you two drove this unlucky boy aside, and you just ran into him when you went out, it's really unlucky."
Next to the Adventurers' Guild, the arrogant voice attracted the attention of the people around him, hearing the words "unlucky boy", Ruo Ban raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of Bennett's departure, only to see a fat man in gorgeous clothes directing the guards beside him to expel Bennett.
Bennett's eyes, which were in a good mood, became a little dim, he looked at the arrogant fat man, his lips squirmed a few times but he didn't say a word, he lowered his head and clenched his fists and hid aside to make way.
The fat man saw Bennett bow his head and didn't say a word, thinking that Bennett was scared, he nodded with satisfaction and looked around, and found that the people around him were quiet, as if to greet him, the fat man cracked his mouth.
"Count you, a pariah, who knows etiquette, as a nobleman, I am, cough, cough, ah, ah
Before the words were finished, a few pigeons flew from nowhere, and the pigeons, who were originally carefree and flying in the sky, were about to go to the bridge to find the good Samaritan to ask for some wheat to eat, but in the next second, a terrifying aura enveloped the pigeons, even the pigeons, who did not feel such danger in the blond devil, were directly frightened and incontinent.
Coincidentally, just as the nobleman opened his mouth to say something, the pigeon poop mixed with a strange liquid hit the bull's-eye and fell directly into the noble nobleman's mouth.
"Ahhhh Kill those pigeons for me and kill them all! ”
The angry aristocratic fat man pointed to the sky angrily to take revenge, and the guards beside him heard the order and immediately took out their bows and arrows, but the pigeons, who had been frightened half to death, would not stop here and run away.
Looking at the pigeons in the distance, the guards, you look at me, I look at you, holding a bow and arrow, putting it down, it is not shooting, and a man who looks like the captain of the guard carefully reported to the noble fat man,
"Young master, those pigeons flew away, should we chase them?"
The fat man, who was constantly spitting on the side and trying to get rid of the smell in his mouth, did not seem to hear the words of the guard, and the vicious words kept coming out of his mouth, and the poor pigeon ancestor was greeted by this noble noble young master for eighteen generations.
The crowd of onlookers around exploded after a few seconds of silence, and the whole street was boiling, some people rubbed their eyes and couldn't believe what had just happened was the truth, and some people pulled their friends next to them and said excitedly.
"Did you see it, did you see it, the Lawrence family ate the pigeon's poop."
"I saw it, I saw it, and you saw it."
"That's right, that's right, this must be the will of Lord Barbatos, the god of wind, otherwise how could it be so accurate."
"Yes, it must be Lord Barbatos admonishing the Lawrence family."
The words of one of the Anemo devotees resonated with many onlookers around them, and many of them believed that it was Lord Barbatos, the god of Anemo, who was admonishing the Lawrence family.
The gloating people pointed at the noble young master, this scene made Ruo Ban feel a little ironic, how arrogant the noble young master was just now, and how embarrassed he was being ridiculed by people now.
The sound of ridicule and discussion constantly stimulated the fragile nerves of this noble young master, his face full of collagen turned red, his fat fingers were clenched tightly, and his devouring eyes made the guards around him feel a little frightened, and their young master was really angry.
"Young master, calm down, there are too many people around, if we do something to these people in public, the people of the Knights will not let us go."
"It doesn't matter if we are captured by the Knights, if you are a nobleman and are captured by the Knights, it will be too much of a loss of your identity."
The heavy breathing made the captain of the guard aware of the identity of this noble young master, and the captain of the guard, who knew the temper of this young master Lawrence, hurriedly lowered his voice and tried to dispel his anger, if his young master really ordered them to attack these people who were watching the excitement, then the plan of the Lawrence clan would be a complete failure.
The captain of the guard glanced around, more and more people began to come together this time, if he didn't calm the young master's anger, I am afraid that the young master would really explode.
Boy, count yourself unlucky, this time the young master's anger will be calmed down, the captain of the guard looked cold, and with a brush, he pulled out the long sword in his hand and pointed at Bennett, who was trying to hold back a smile.
"Your bad luck has caused the young master to be so insulted, why don't you quickly kneel down and ask the young master for forgiveness?"
