Section 37
"Nonsense, didn't Dawn Winery make a lot of money this time?"
Diluk didn't comment.
He knew that Su Chen must have been behind the recent series of actions of the Knights.
Otherwise, based on his understanding of Qin, the latter would not have made those decisions.
Of course, Diluk didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
Instead of dragging it out and being forced to solve it, it is better to make a decisive decision early, so as to save unnecessary trouble in the middle.
This is probably the reason why he and Su Chen can become friends inexplicably.
As for the Knights, Diluk was disappointed a few years ago.
Then he glanced at Wendy.
The latter was shocked and smiled awkwardly: "Grandpa Diluk."
"I have said many times that this store does not sell alcohol to minors."
"But I am really an adult!"
Diluk sighed, walked back to the counter and said a few words, and the bartender gave him a drink.
"This is coffee soda, which has a hint of fruit wine after being specially prepared."
Wendy took it doubtfully, took a sip, and found it unexpectedly good.
Although I still didn't get to drink the wine, it was worth the trip. It was free anyway, so I'd drink it if I didn't.
Huh? You said he wasn't there just now, so it doesn't count?
You're young now, right? Lord Wind God is everywhere, and he can be counted wherever there's wind!
"Wendy." At this time, Su Chen said with a smile: "It just so happens that you are here, and this traveler wants to see the Wind God. Didn't you say that you have traveled all over the world and have a wide range of knowledge? Last time you said that there is nothing you can't do in Mondstadt, so I guess seeing the Wind God is nothing to you, right?"
Wendy: "Well, ah, ah?"
Eula raised her head.
Ying turned her head.
Diluk raised his eyebrows.
Amber was surprised.
Wendy was stunned for a moment, then blinked: "Hey~"
"What does hey mean? Singing for money, can you do it?" Paimon said with his hands on his hips.
"Today's wind is so noisy~"
"You see, a street singer definitely can't do it."
"Hehe~ Isn't it just to see the God of Wind? Leave it to me!" Wendy laughed, "But before that, there is something that needs your help..."
...
At the same time.
In the Goethe Hotel.
"Madam, the matter you ordered has been investigated."
A Fatui handed the information in his hand to the lady.
The latter picked it up and read it.
It recorded what happened after Su Chen appeared in Mondstadt, especially his performance as the assistant to the leader after joining the Knights.
The Fatui lowered his head and said, "According to our investigation, Su Chen appeared in Mondstadt four months ago. His origin and identity cannot be traced. He claims to be from Liyue, but his learning is amazing, even not inferior to the senior scholars of the Order Academy. Other than that..."
The lady waved her hand and said lightly, "There is no need to talk about these. Let's talk about his affairs in the Knights." At the end, she added, "What happened between him and Captain Qin."
The subordinate was a little confused, but still did as the lady asked.
"...It is reported that he joined the Knights three months ago and usually handles some trivial matters as the assistant to the leader. But according to our inquiries, Su Chen has a high status in the Knights and is deeply trusted by the leader Qin. He does not look like a newcomer who has just joined the Knights for three months."
"Su Chen seems to be involved in all the decisions of the Knights. In addition, he has a very special relationship with the librarian Lisa. It is said that Lisa almost supports every decision made by Su Chen. This is very confusing, because from our understanding of Lisa, this woman is very vigilant and very cunning, and will never trust others easily."
After speaking, the subordinate hesitated and said: "Madam, if you want to start with Su Chen and further infiltrate the Knights, it should be a good choice. It's just that Su Chen is a difficult person to grasp, and the temptation of interests may not work. If you use force to force him..."
Before he finished speaking, the man felt that the air around him seemed to have dropped to freezing point.
She quickly shut her mouth.
The lady said with a cold look: "Remember, if anyone dares to attack him in the future, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Yes, yes."
"Go down."
After the subordinates left, the lady stared at the information in a daze.
She certainly didn't doubt Su Chen.
However, after reuniting with Su Chen, the latter's actions were almost all to help Qin, which made the lady very puzzled, and even a little... jealous.
In her opinion, no one in Mondstadt is more suitable to be the leader than Su Chen.
With Su Chen's ability, plus the help of the earth fire and her, it is not difficult to take the position of leader.
But Su Chen is willing to be a small assistant.
"Rustan... Do you like that woman?"
The lady lowered her head, looking a little lonely.
Yes, compared with the dazzling leader Qin, she is just a fire butterfly surviving in the remnant wind, burning for hundreds of years, and now even she almost doesn't recognize herself.
Soon the lady resolute again.
"Qin... Stupid woman, but Rustan wants to help you, so Mond will protect you one last time."
The burnt-out fire butterfly can still emit the last flame.
The lady made a decision.
From today on, every minute and second she has left will burn for Su Chen.
...
The next day.
Su Chen came to work at the Knights as usual.
He had already completed his task as an intermediary to introduce Wendy to Ying. Now he just had to wait for the latter to settle the matter with Tevarin.
Although he wanted to comfort his old friend, after all, he and Tevarin were only ‘old’ and not real ‘friends’. If Ying hadn’t come, he could have given it a try.
“Mr. Suchen, good morning.”
The passing knight greeted Suchen.
“Ah, Mr. Suchen, hello.”
The silver-haired girl was wearing a maid outfit, with silver armor on her arms and knees, and her delicate face was a little nervous and excited.
Suchen smiled and said, “Noel, good morning, I’m very happy today.”
“Because… because Captain Qin promised me to join the Knights. Although I’m only an apprentice knight, I will definitely do my best!”
Becoming a formal knight has always been Noel’s goal, but she has been working as a maid in the Knights for so long.
But this morning, when she arrived at the Knights' headquarters, she was called to Qin's office by a knight, who told her about her transfer to an apprentice knight, and that she would be considered for the title of a formal knight based on her performance in the next month.
This was undoubtedly great news for Noelle.
"By the way, Mr. Suchen, thank you for your help."
Noelle bowed to Suchen.
Although Suchen has not been in the Knights' Order as long as she has.
But everyone can see Suchen's ability. Noelle has always admired Suchen, and even thought about how to be as good as Suchen. In addition, the latter once mentioned to Qin that he wanted her to be a regular knight, which made Noelle grateful.
Suchen chuckled: "This is what you deserve... Congratulations, Noelle, and then you should work like a knight."
"Um... Mr. Suchen, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
"Okay, don't be too tired."
"Remember~"
Looking at Noelle's figure running away, Suchen smiled slightly.
In fact, in his opinion, Noel's ability is fully capable of being the Knight of Favonius, and Qin has always felt that she is too kind and does not know how to refuse (aren't you the same?), and is worried that Noel will be used by others if she officially becomes a knight.
But Su Chen suggested that even if Noel does not become a knight, she is still being ordered around.
She has nothing to do, so won't she just be ordered around?
Instead of this, it is better to let her become a knight and give her tasks to do.
People always have to grow up and learn to face and refuse.
Perhaps considering the recent shortage of manpower, Qin did not expect that he would make such a decision.
He spent half a day fishing in emotion.
At noon, a Fatui came over and invited Su Chen to the Goethe Hotel.
Because of the previous agreement with the Fatui, Qin knew the reason why the lady wanted to find Su Chen, even though the two had met a long time ago.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Qin was a little worried. What if the lady went crazy and the answer she got could not untie the knot in her heart, and she wanted to kill Su Chen?
This kind of thing must not be allowed to happen!
Su Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's okay."
"Okay..."
Qin opened her mouth, a little hesitant.
"Anything else?"
"One thing..."
