Chapter 5 Amberlet
Chapter 5 Amberlet
Traveler When everyone was fighting the Wind Demon Dragon, Phoenix did not follow him. He was sitting in the Angel's Gift with a lot of wine in front of him. The warm yellow light coated his soft and fluffy red hair with a layer of gold. .
He received an invitation from Wendy to prepare a banquet for them. The great battle against the Wind Demon Dragon was worthy of a banquet cooked and arranged by the god himself.
Moreover, he was also very curious about Diluc Legenfeind, who was said to be very similar to him.
In order to satisfy some evil taste, he even agreed to Wendy's request to change his hair style and clothes.
In the quiet tavern, only two people were still there. Charles behind the counter was wiping his wine glass, but his eyes fell on the lazy young man at the door from time to time.
The soft and fluffy long hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, and he wore a Mond-style black and red uniform. The gold thread weaved a delicate bird pattern on the hem. It seemed that he was not used to such clothing. Two buttons of the boy's shirt were unbuttoned. , showing a bit of unruliness, the gold chain on the side of the boots shines under the light.
Suddenly, the young man turned his head and looked at the counter. The moment he saw that face and met his eyes, the previous similarity disappeared.
Like the king who sits on the throne and rules the war.
Charles suddenly understood why the boy preferred soft robes, which would make him look more like an ordinary person.
"Charles, can you please leave first?" Phoenix's tone was gentle but unquestionable.
Charles hesitated for a moment, a red light flashed in his eyes, nodded and left through the back door.
"We're back." Wendy pushed open the door of Angel's Gift immediately, and then quickly stepped aside, revealing Diluc following behind him.
So, Diluc very naturally saw the boy sitting on the chair looking at him, no more than five steps away from him.
His calm expression suddenly collapsed.
A dark-skinned young man with dark blue hair and an eye patch squeezed out from behind him. He looked at the silent Phoenix and blinked.
He whistled.
"Hey, Master Diluc, is this your long-lost illegitimate son?"
"No!" Diluc took a deep breath, strode into the angel's gift, and looked at the silent boy with great seriousness.
"Who are you?"
Phoenix glanced at Wendy who was frantically lip-syncing to him, and with the idea of adding some fun to his life, he spoke, "I am the one you are closest to, closer than your father or even your son. "
For example, the God's Eye of Fire, right? Diluc may not have a partner or a son, but he always has the Eye of God.
Besides, his old father is still alive, so naturally there is no such thing as abandoning the Eye of God. That is closer than the relationship between father and son.
As soon as these words came out, everyone showed an expression as if they had encountered a ghost during the day. What do you mean by someone who is closer than your father or even your son?
Except for Sora, who looked like a gossip.
"That's nonsense!"
Diluc was furious as expected, his face flushed. Although his intuition told him that this didn't seem to be what he imagined, but... this statement was too explicit!
"Diluc Legenfend, in a sense, I didn't lie." Phoenix suppressed a smile, pretending to be serious and acting out the incomprehensible god according to the report given to him by Wendy.
He is indeed not lying. Although the distribution of the Eyes of God is not under the control of the government, it does not mean that it has nothing to do with it.
The former Vulcan, who was wearing high heels, slightly raised his head. He was obviously looking up, but this was the feeling he gave to the people around him. There is no need to doubt that he is definitely a person in a high position.
Even looking up is like looking down.
"You..." Diluc was stunned for a long time, not knowing what to say. The other party's aura was so powerful, and those red eyes were much more dazzling than any flame he had ever seen.
As if refusing is a sin.
Sudden.
"Pfft, hahahahahaha, hahahaha... I can't stand it anymore." Phoenix suddenly grinned, showing an open and wanton smile, and put his arm around Wendy's shoulders, hanging on him. .
"It's so unreasonable!"
Diluc was annoyed, but also had some inexplicable confusion. The laughter was so recognizable that he always felt like he had heard it before.
"It turns out that's not the case. It's true. I thought Master Cripps's wish could come true." Kaia was still doing the finishing touches next to him.
It exposed the fact that Mr. Diluc, Mondstadt's golden bachelor, was being urged to marry by his idle old father at home.
Diluc looked at the writer of this scene. The bard said "Hey" and supported the former Vulcan who was almost sliding to the ground.
"What a huge shock." Lisa covered her mouth and looked at the two young men, one green and one red, with a smile.
Qin's expression finally remained at a state of dumbfounding.
"I have no sleep tonight, let's sing together!" the former Vulcan who loved celebrations shouted loudly.
Wendy was the first to raise her hands, cheering and rushing towards the wine on the table, followed closely by a certain one-eyed cavalry captain.
The former Vulcan naturally took out the bartending utensils and colorful base liquor and syrup from under the counter, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and smiled at everyone sitting down.
He threw up the goblet in his hand.
It was a feast of fire and wine. Bottles of wine were so docile and docile in the hands of the young man. The jumping and rolling flames illuminated everyone's faces.
Gorgeous gold ornaments, exquisite embroidery, no one spoke, no one breathed, everyone stared at the bottles and cups flying in front of them.
Soon, cups of cocktails of various styles appeared in front of them.
The librarian wearing a witch hat looked at the lantern-shaped wine in the glass in front of him with a smile.
The young and promising acting leader of the Knights of the West Wind looked curiously at the cat sleeping next to the dandelion stems and leaves in the cup.
The red-haired owner of Morningside Winery got a beautiful night owl with spread wings.
The secretive cavalry captain also got a proud peacock with his head held high.
As for the drunkard, he got a glass of apple juice without any alcohol.
Empty expectation of what he would get, however, the bartender slowed down his movements at this moment, patiently sketching the posture of the blond girl and the beautiful Intiwatt in her hair.
Just as the traveler was about to speak, he saw Phoenix shaking his head slightly, turning around and pouring himself a glass of grape lemon juice.
"Mr. Amberlet has really good taste." Lisa took a sip of the wine, her mouth was slightly numb, followed by the fragrance of fruits and vegetables.
She also had to be surprised by how accurate this gentleman was at judging people. Among the drinks in front of everyone, Kaia and Wendy's drinks were the strongest, while the two ladies' drinks only contained a little alcohol. The travelers, Diluc and What he himself had in front of him were non-alcoholic drinks.
Phoenix pretended to be stupid: "As an adventurer who has been to the Silent Sea, it's not enough if you don't have this kind of eyesight."
"But Mr. Amberlet clearly looks like he's not yet an adult." Kaia probed calmly.
Phoenix looked at the cavalry captain. He could certainly feel the origin of this descendant of Camria. He would always be more tolerant to those who dared to face their true hearts and fight against their fate.
"Appearance cannot be used as a reference. Since Mondstadt is bordering Liyue, you should know that age is not necessarily equivalent to appearance. Maybe I am thousands of years old?"
Phoenix said the last sentence jokingly, winking. He blinked eyes that were more beautiful than the most beautiful rubies in the world.
"So are you an immortal from Liyue?" The traveler temporarily put aside his concern for the girl depicted in the cup and asked.
Phoenix touched his chin, "Of course..."
Everyone became nervous.
"No!"
"I was born from the flames of Nata and temporarily traveled to foreign lands."
What he said was very convoluted, and there seemed to be something else hidden in the words, but everything was just a guess.
After drinking and eating, Diluc hesitated in every possible way, but still said to Phoenix with a downcast face: "Father heard that there is a young man who is very similar to me. He would like to meet you. If you don't have a place to live, you might as well go back with me." Winery."
To his surprise, Phoenix agreed without hesitation. It seemed that he was very surprised when a certain former Vulcan explained confidently.
"I don't have any money to stay in a hotel!"
