Chapter 22 Residents

"Eh?"

While Ningzhe and Abedo remained silent and thought about the matter, Keli seemed to wake up. She looked at the serious faces of the two brothers standing next to her, and she subconsciously became nervous.

"Ah...it's nothing, I just met someone."

Seeing Keli tilting her head with a puzzled look on her face, Ningzhe immediately put aside all his thoughts, smiled and said to Keli: "Have you rested? Do you want to fry some more fish?"

"In addition to Xingluo Lake, the fish at Yingxiang Beach are also very good...and the fish at Gujiu Lake are also plump and delicious."

"No need... Keli has been outside for a long time. If she doesn't go back, she will have to stay in the solitary room for many days..."

Hearing Ningzhe's suggestion, Keli's heart moved for a moment, but soon she lowered her head and said a little embarrassed.

Oops...

It seems that Kaia's job of "bewitching" Keli has been completed very thoroughly... So, in Keli's heart, Kaia should be the best adult, right?

"In that case, let's go back to find Kaia."

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Ningzhe immediately spoke.

"Uh-huh!"

When she heard Kaiya's name, Keli's eyes lit up a little.

"Knights Survival Code" was written by Kaiya for Keli. In the heart of this simple little girl, Kaiya is the best good person.

"..."

After seeing Keli's reaction, Ningzhe's eyelids couldn't stop twitching. Then he looked at Albedo, his eyes full of confusion.

Why is your sister so close to and idolizing Kaia?

She is your sister, she is Alice...my sister gave it to you with her own hands!

"..."

Seeing Ningzhe's expression, Abedo was silent for a while, then helplessly spread his hands.

What can I do? It’s not like you don’t know how good that guy Kaia is at talking, and he has absolutely no ill intentions towards Keli. I quite like this situation.

Um...

As long as the work of cleaning up Keli's mess can be handed over to Kaia, he will have more time to conduct research!

"...Okay, let's go back now."

Neither Ningzhe nor Abedo spoke, but they both seemed to understand the other's meaning perfectly.

No matter what, Kaiya should have been caught by Diluc now, and he can still watch the excitement when he goes back...

...

Mondstadt, a gift from an angel.

From time to time, the sound of glasses and glasses could be heard in the huge tavern. Drinkers raised their glasses and shouted about various things they had seen today. It was lively but not irritable.

But what's interesting is that today's bartender is neither Charles nor Diluc, but the swarthy Kaia.

He was wearing an ill-fitting bartender uniform and mixing various drinks with an expressionless expression.

Diluc, the owner of Chenxi Winery, was sitting on a chair in the corner of the first floor, holding a glass of "Canggu Sunset" in his hand and tasting it carefully.

Crunch~

Pushing open the door of Angel's Gift, Ningzhe saw Kaiya standing behind the bar as soon as he came in.

Kaiya happened to be holding a bottle of dandelion wine in his hand. He looked towards the door and saw Ningzhe.

At that moment, Kaia's pupils dilated, but she felt relieved after seeing that there was no other figure behind him.

No Keli, no Albedo... very good.

"Haha... Keli was sent back to the Knights by Abedo a long time ago. Qin is probably training her at this time..."

Looking at Kaiya's expression, Ningzhe knew what he was thinking. He walked towards the bar and said, "Besides, how could I bring Keli to the tavern?"

"Huh...that's good."

After receiving Ningzhe's correct words, Kaiya breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I'll forget about being tricked by this guy Diluc. If Qin finds out again that I let Keli visit everywhere... I'll probably have to take care of the hygiene of the Knights."

Speaking of this, Kaia glanced unhappily at Diluc, who was drinking a drink in the corner.

"Oh, Mr. Lu is here too!"

Following Kaia's gaze, Ningzhe also spotted Diluc's figure.

"...Um."

Seeing Ningzhe greeting him, Diluc nodded slightly and accepted.

"Tsk, do you know how big a trick this guy has set on me?"

Seeing Diluc's cold look, Kaia became even more angry and said directly: "The wine he left here is not expensive, nor is it cheap. It just exceeds all my assets."

...It’s not much, it’s the kind of thing that can be repaid with just a few days of work.”

"Oh...so that's it..."

Ningzhe nodded with sudden realization.

Mr. Diluc did a great job. It doesn't hurt Kaiya if he pays too little for wine, but if he pays too much, he will be ruined... This is the only way to owe money, but he didn't let him owe it.

Too much is the best solution.

Even though Kaia was so smart, he never expected that Diluc would go so far as to check his assets in order to trick him.

"Who said you want to be cheap? My identity is not that easy to use... Just work peacefully and don't think about letting me profit from you."

After saying this, Ningzhe ignored Kaia's expression and walked directly towards Diluc.

"..."

Helpless, Kaia had no choice but to sigh, and then mixed the wine.

After inspecting Mondstadt, he had to rush here to work as a bartender. He was very busy these days.

At the corner.

The entire tavern was bustling with people, but the corner where Diluc was sitting was relatively deserted. He was the only one sitting here drinking quietly.

"..."

Seeing Ningzhe coming over, Diluc exhaled, put the "Canggu Sunset" on the table, and looked at Ningzhe.

"Canggu Sunset... I remember you told me that the first drink you made since you can remember was Canggu Sunset."

Seeing the drink in the cup, Ningzhe spoke thoughtfully.

"That's right. You remember very clearly that Canggu Sunset was indeed the first drink I made on my own."

Hearing Ningzhe's words, Diluc was stunned for a moment, but he soon smiled and said: "It's not suitable to drink when things are busy... How about it, did you come across any clues?"

When Ningzhe walked towards him, Diluc guessed that something must have happened to him.

And it's not an ordinary thing.

"Hmm... do you know anything about the Fools' executive officer [Skirmler]?"

Ningzhe pulled out a chair, sat down, and said.

"[Skicker]...According to the information I got, his background is very mysterious."

After hearing Ningzhe's question, Diluc pondered for a moment, and then said: "He once lived in a small village in Daozi, and joined the Fools after the village was destroyed... What's strange is that as soon as he joined

The fools become executors."

"Did you know? The youngest executive officer [Gongzi] of the Fools also fought on the front lines for many years before he was promoted to the position of executive officer, and this [skirmisher]... he did almost nothing to achieve this

situation."

Having said this, Diluc stopped.

Based on the information he got from the intelligence organization in the north, this was roughly the case.

"Is this so..."

Hearing this, Ningzhe thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said, "Albedo and I met this executive officer of the Fools at Xingluo Lake."

"You mean...[skirmishers] came to Mondstadt?"

Diluc's brows finally furrowed. Having fought against the Fool Executives, he naturally understood how terrifying these guys were.

"Yes. Although I don't know the specific reason, he did leave Daozuma and came to Mondstadt."

Thinking of the momentum and the dark black energy ball, Ningzhe was still a little afraid.

"I understand, leave the rest to me."

After thinking for a moment, Diluc nodded, indicating that he already understood.

The whereabouts of this executive are really secretive... Diluc has spies throughout Mondstadt, but no one came to report...

No, it could be...
