Chapter 5 Answers Across the Years
Dawn Winery.
After the banquet, Ningzhe made a gesture, and the delegation members dispersed in a dignified manner. They all left the hall saying that they wanted to visit the winery.
After everyone left, Ningzhe let out a long sigh and looked at Diluc with a helpless expression.
"Mr. Lu, even you are so cautious. Could it be that the problem Mondstadt encountered this time is really big?"
In his impression, this gentleman is a ruthless character... Not only is he very strong, but he also has the support of the intelligence organization in the north. Logically speaking, nothing can stop him.
"Actually, it's not very serious, but from the current perspective, it's a bit weird."
The people who saw the delegation had left, and only Ningzhe was left in front of him. Diluc's expression remained unchanged, but he was a little more relaxed than before.
"It's not that the dragon disaster in Mondstadt cannot be solved, it's just that the people of the Knights have been unable to make up their minds... What really interests me is actually another thing."
Having said this, Diluc turned his head, looked at Ningzhe, and took out a color photo.
"This person... no, do you know these two people?"
"Who is so mysterious..."
Ningzhe glanced at him suspiciously, then without hesitation, took the photo in his hand and took a closer look.
A handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes who looked full of exotic atmosphere... and an unknown flying creature.
Isn't this...Sora and Paimon?
"do not know."
The moment he saw the photo, Ningzhe spoke.
"They don't look like Mondstadt people...and certainly don't look like Liyue people, but they don't look suspicious, just a little strange."
Although he was a little surprised, Ningzhe didn't show any abnormality on his face. He just shook his head slightly and handed the photo back.
Did Diluc notice the traveler so quickly?
Well...that's how it should be.
Although there is no precedent for visitors from another world, it is not an ordinary thing...
"..."
Hearing this, Diluc was silent for a moment, then put away the photo, and then said: "This traveler is very powerful, and... he can use elemental power even without the Eye of God."
"Will he pose a threat to Mondstadt? Or, will he pose a threat to other things?"
"No."
Hearing Ningzhe's words, Diluc shook his head subconsciously, but then he added: "Of course, this answer only goes so far."
"Then let me get in touch with him. Once I give it a try, I will know everything."
Ningzhe shrugged and spoke in a calm tone.
The meaning of Diluc's words to him was very simple. Sora had now come into the eyes of the Knights and was familiar with people including Scout Knight Amber. It was indeed difficult for Diluc to take action with his status.
As for other people, Diluc didn't trust him very much...so, he could only leave it to him, Ningzhe.
"...good."
Diluc nodded, and then looked out the window. Several white doves flew by, bringing with them a gentle breeze.
"By the way, I'm quite curious, where did you get this photo?"
Seeing that Diluc stopped talking, Ningzhe spoke curiously.
"Photo? Well...it's the goods exchanged by a businessman from Fontaine. He exchanged a thing called a photo machine for a piece of wine that was of acceptable quality."
Diluc turned around, pointed at a strange-shaped instrument placed on the wooden table, and explained: "But according to him, this photo camera is an older version and can only take photos."
"Hey, isn't this a coincidence?"
Ningzhe was happy when he mentioned this, and said directly: "I have the latest Fontaine technology in my fleet, which can record images. A man named Bernard also asked me to record some storytelling content."
"Storytelling?...Haha, you have really taken up this hobby."
Hearing this, Diluc was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
When he was still the captain of the cavalry squad in the Knights, he would often catch this young man "illegal gatherings" near various taverns. Now that he thought about it, he was just telling stories to those drunkards.
"Of course, I am the best storyteller in Liyue Port, recognized by everyone."
Ningzhe raised his head proudly and continued: "When I come to Mondstadt this time, I also want to compete with those bards to see who can outsmart whom."
"Okay, I will definitely go to cheer you up then."
Seeing Ningzhe's appearance, Diluc smiled and nodded, jokingly: "But... the ambassador of a great country competes with the bard for his job, so you are the only one."
"What's the point? I am determined to become the best storyteller in Teyvat. My mere identity cannot limit me in the slightest."
For some reason, when he said this, Ningzhe's body seemed to be a little taller... Of course, if you can ignore his expression that could almost be said to be beaten, he would be a little taller.
Diluc looked at the young man in front of him, as if the shadows from many years ago overlapped again.
Times have changed...
The boy who had no choice but to live in Mondstadt back then has now become an iconic figure in the country... But because of the conflict between ideals and reality, he quit Liyue Port and became his own "dark night hero".
At this moment, the chirping of birds suddenly came from outside the window, and the sound was gentle.
"...It's almost time. According to Liyueding's rules, I still have to go to Mondstadt first... It's not too late now."
Ningzhe also looked out the window, and then spoke softly.
After that, regardless of Diluc's reaction, he walked out of the hall and greeted the members of the delegation waiting outside.
The time has come. The time for reminiscing with old friends is over. Next...it's time to go to Mondstadt to deal with those people.
...
Watching Ningzhe's motorcade leave, Diluc's eyes gradually darkened.
The real situation is indeed as he said. The real trouble is not the Wind Demon Dragon, but the undercurrent surging in Mondstadt at the moment.
However, the traveler and his companions were just superficial bait. Although he was powerful, he seemed to have little character, and he was even helpful...
The real trouble is the Fools and some Mondstadt families who are trying to do something with his help.
Legenfinder has been away from the political center of Mondstadt for too long, and the current head of the family, Diluc, has withdrawn from the Knights of the West Wind, which has caused some families to quietly have some thoughts that they shouldn't have.
Diluc doesn't know the true purpose of the Fools, but it can be seen from their frequent contact with the Mond family that as long as Mond is in chaos, they can get everything they want.
Wind Demon Dragon...
How similar, like the Demon Dragon Usa Rebellion that broke out a few years ago...
