Chapter 106: Angel's Gift
Neither, Gu Sanqiu could only follow the convoy and stay at the Goethe Hotel.
This wasn't a tour group that could move freely. If he ran away, he might immediately see the Knight of Favonius following him.
However, this situation will only last for a short time.
As dusk fell, even the wind blowing through Mondstadt gradually died down, as if announcing the end of a day's work.
In simple terms, it's time to drink.
Thanks to the high quality of Mondstadt's wine products and the strange characteristics of the banquet where chatting is the main purpose and eating and drinking is secondary, the Liyue team who attended the banquet for two consecutive nights did not feel unwell, not to mention Feng Yan and others who had sobering pills as a backup.
Gu Sanqiu also took this opportunity to slip away. At the banquet, he did not encounter any strange provocations from evil young men. Everything seemed relatively normal.
"Well, after all, I should go to Angel's Gift. If I'm lucky, I might even run into the Master."
Gu Sanqiu decisively chose the direction and walked towards the Angel's Gift Tavern.
If you are luckier, you might even run into a certain wind god who is hesitating at the door of the tavern, wanting to have a drink but not having even a piece of Mora in his pocket.
Of course, there is another reason, which comes from the intelligence from the Fatui, that a certain guy seems to have some strange ideas about the signature bartender of the Cat's Tail Tavern.
One can imagine what kind of a fool he was who could accidentally put something like this in the intelligence, or he might have simply written this down after drinking too much and mixed it with the intelligence.
To sum up , there is at least a 70% chance that the man made some inappropriate remarks in the Cat's Tail Tavern, and outsiders like him should not be very welcome there right now.
Gu Sanqiu found the tavern quite easily and looked around.
Okay, today is also the day when a certain god is too poor to come to the tavern to quench his thirst.
Squeak——
The doors of the tavern were opened, and the drinkers subconsciously turned their attention to him. When they saw what Gu Sanqiu was wearing, they all showed a look of understanding.
This is a guest who heard the name of the tavern in Liyue and wanted to come for a drink as soon as possible.
In Mondstadt, such spontaneous actions would be called a kind of "emotional freedom", and no one would think there was anything wrong with a Liyue person sneaking out during the banquet.
Of course, this may be the mutual understanding between alcoholics.
"Hello, five cups of today's special drink first, thank you."
Gu Sanqiu is very polite, or rather, he is rather kind unless there are special circumstances.
If certain circumstances arise, the kind-hearted Gu Sanqiu will change towards the direction of nuclear kindness.
"Today's special base liquor has a slightly higher alcohol content. Are you sure you want five cups?"
Charles adhered to the purpose of the pub. Although it felt like he was turning away some business, it was better to make some things clear first.
"No problem, I can drink."
Gu Sanqiu smiled, then sat down at the bar and pushed the Mora in his hand over.
"This is the deposit. If it's not enough after you finish drinking, you can get more."
"Hmm, interesting guest."
Charles smiled at Mora, who obviously priced five cups higher than the special .
"In that case, please allow the guests to taste the special flavor of our Mond wine."
"Just come normally, just come normally."
Gu Sanqiu still had a smile on his face. He didn't want to drink any drink mixed with weird things like slime gel, fish scales and herbs.
This is a good gift from an angel, don’t let it be corrupted by some cat-eared loli.
The drinks were served, and Gu Sanqiu drank three glasses at the speed of light, then pursed his lips under Charles's somewhat surprised gaze.
"Yeah, the degree is okay."
The wine sold in Mondstadt's taverns naturally cannot be Liyue-style products. Firstly, it is a local specialty, and secondly, taverns rely on volume to make profits.
Charles brought a fruit plate to Gu Sanqiu, who picked up an apple and fell into deep thought.
As for the object of thought, it was naturally a one-eyed handsome man with a dark complexion who came to greet the convoy.
Characters: Kaia Alberich
Identity: Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius and the most trusted partner of Acting Captain Jean.
Eye of God: Ice
Weapon proficiency: One-handed sword
Title: Lord Ningbing Duhai (?)
Nationality: Kanreya
As a qualified time traveler, when facing special characters, Gu Sanqiu can always dig out his memories from the corners of his mind.
That’s right, Kaeya is a citizen of Kanreya, and his nationality does not belong to Mond based on his bloodline. It was his biological father who brought him to the vicinity of the Dawn Winery and then disappeared.
【This is your chance, you are our last hope】
Kaia's biological father said so.
Kaeya was adopted by Diluk's father, Cripps Leggenfond. Before the dragon case, the two had a relationship better than that of brothers.
Diluk always has a friendly smile and a confident demeanor, making him reliable and trustworthy in the eyes of the people of Mondstadt.
As the general affairs chief, Kaeya is Diluk's assist, observer and combat brain, and he can always clean up for Dilu after the battle.
Until now, Gu Sanqiu still doesn't quite understand why Kaia is called "the last hope".
If it is some kind of curse on the continuation of bloodline, then Kaia, as a pure Kanriya, will definitely have problems.
But he used his mental power to quietly detect Kaia, and found that there was no strange aura on the other party.
As for the other speculation, it is rather ridiculous. It is that Kanreya used some unconventional means to stuff all the secrets and knowledge of the empire into Kaeya's body. It is a definite protagonist start.
If this was an idea of wanting to have a powerful legacy before dying, Gu Sanqiu could still think it was understandable, but from the perspective of a huge country, this speculation was obviously not realistic.
There is another more reasonable one. Some lucky descendants of Kanreya escaped the disaster and hid in the Seven Kingdoms on their own, hoping that their descendants would be integrated into the "kingdom of gods" and waiting for the moment of revenge.
This speculation quite reasonably explains what Kaeya's father said about the "last hope". After all, with such a huge disaster looming, no one knows how many people can survive.
But after so many years, Kaeya's heart was gradually filled with the affection for his brother and the "ordinary father's love" from his adoptive father, so that night he told Diluk everything and told him his origins and purpose.
Kaia is a person who lives in contradiction and pain, but can still wear a mask of smile.
Of course, as to why the story had to be told that night, Gu Sanqiu could only cordially greet the story planner.
This is like when a depressed patient is in an unstable mental state, and you specifically target his sensitive areas and say a bunch of inappropriate words.
He did not comment too much on this point as he had not experienced what happened at that time.
Maybe he felt that Kaeya was stabbing the master again, but for Kaeya it was a kind of redemption, a mentality that allowed him to tell all the secrets and wrap Diluk with sincere warmth, hoping that his brother could cheer up.
"My dear guest, the fruit in the fruit plate has changed color. Do you need me to change it for you?"
"Of course, I'll pay the price."
Gu Sanqiu came back to his senses and saw a handsome young man with a cold face, red hair and red eyes standing in front of him.
