Chapter 342: Diluk's Strange Judgment
Gu Sanqiu looked up and saw a cold-faced red-haired man standing at the bar, carefully wiping an expensive-looking antique wine glass with a handkerchief.
"What you said seems to make sense."
Only then did Gu Sanqiu remember that he had not eaten, and it seemed that he had not eaten for several meals.
"Then I suggest you go to the Deer Hunter to get something to eat and then come back for a drink."
Diluk put down the wine glass, took out an ordinary glass, poured out a cup of hot water and pushed it to Gu Sanqiu who had already sat down.
"Drink some hot water to warm yourself up first. If you're too lazy to leave, I can ask the bartender to order takeout for you, but the tip will be very high."
"That's not a problem."
Gu Sanqiu took the hot water, looked at the steam rising and the water droplets sliding down the wall of the cup, and after a moment of daze, he suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
Diluk frowned slightly, then motioned to the bartender to go to the Deer Hunter for an order. He seriously suspected that the guy in front of him had already had several rounds of drinks on an empty stomach.
"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered something. If a guy like you, Diluk, told girls to drink more hot water, they would probably look at you like crazy and drink a cup of ordinary hot water as if it were nectar."
Diluk paused in mixing the cocktail, then simply poured out everything in the glass .
The rhythm is broken and the cocktail becomes a failure.
"Strictly speaking, hot water, like mora, does not change in value depending on someone's identity."
"Also, did you hear something strange from that Kaia guy?"
"Is it strange? At our age, it's normal for people around you to worry about finding a partner."
He didn't feel any pressure in this regard. Ningguang knew that his family situation was special and would never use such things to pressure him.
On the contrary, he himself worries a lot about other people.
With Xingqiu's personality, he either needs to find someone with similar interests, or someone who can subdue that guy like the Emperor did when he subdued the devil. I guess experts are also troubled by this issue.
At that time, he also thought about finding a partner for Chongyun. Wasn't it just to revitalize the exorcist family? It would be the same if he had many descendants and let them all learn.
But unfortunately, Chongyun was not interested in this matter at all.
"No, no, no, Sanqiu, you are actually wrong."
A slightly frivolous voice came from the door of the tavern. Kaiya's right hand gently brushed over the blindfold, and he sat down next to Gu Sanqiu quite skillfully.
"If the respected Master Diluk gave a girl a cup of hot water, they would not feel the temperature of hot water, but would probably feel as if they were falling into an icy cave."
"Well, how should I put it? It's just like what is described in your Liyue novels. When Master Diluk, with a cold face, brings a cup of hot water to someone, it looks like he is about to force poison on them."
"Hahaha!"
Gu Sanqiu couldn't help laughing.
Imagine that scene, Diluk brings someone a cup of hot water with a cold face. It really gives people a sense of "it's time to take medicine", and it is a strong threatening version.
"Can you come out for a drink tonight too?"
Diluk frowned. "Shouldn't the Knights of Favonius be investigating and maintaining stability at this time? It seems like the Knights are too lazy."
"Hey, I know you hate the Knights, but don't be so mean."
Kaia walked to the bar, mixed himself a drink quite expertly and ran back to sit down.
"I am also working, but my scope of work is the tavern. Only an excellent staff member like me can quickly collect information in such a place."
Gu Sanqiu hehe, isn't it because if you come to a place like this and accidentally have a couple of drinks no one will care?
Otherwise, how could no one come to the tavern to collect information, such a "good job"?
"It's true that coming to the tavern to gather information is not bad, but it's a pity that the guys from the Knights chose the wrong person and made the mistake of not knowing the person well."
Gu Sanqiu listened silently to the two people arguing with each other, then turned his head and glanced at the drinker.
There are obviously more guests today. As for why, he still knows. Although he can't do anything when absorbing the power of the law, the perception of mental power is still not restricted. The prerequisite is to endure the pain.
In order to appease the people, the Knights will definitely directly reveal the name of the Dragon of the East Wind. In this way, people will only discuss it for a while at most, and it will not cause panic.
Tevarin and Wendy seemed to be giving some benefits to the people of Mond in some way. According to what the drinkers were talking about, the Adventurer's Association had already placed many commissions looking for Tevarin.
"Haha, this excitement is really interesting."
Kaiya turned his head and looked at Gu Sanqiu: "Oh? From the tone of your voice, do you have any exclusive information?"
"That's not the case. If there is, I can just use it to make money."
Gu Sanqiu looked at Diluk and said, "If there is any exclusive information, or news that cannot be found through conventional channels, shouldn't our Night Elf hero have the best access to it?"
"That may disappoint you. I really don't have any valuable information this time."
Diluk said calmly, "Someone saw this giant dragon flying over from the Wind Dragon Ruins while working in the field. The Knights should have sent people to investigate now."
"Oh, I'm so sorry, the Knights really don't plan to send anyone over there."
Kaia spread his hands and said, "Captain Qin means that since the East Wind Guardian has awakened, as the people of Mondstadt, we have no reason to disturb other people's lives. This is the most respectful attitude."
The corners of Diluk's mouth curled up slightly, and then immediately returned to his stern expression.
"Humph, that's really disappointing. I thought the Knights would be very interested in the Guardian of the East Wind and wanted to find an opportunity to obtain his power."
Kaiya was helpless: "Hey, hey, who do you think we are? Conspirators?"
"Huh, isn't it?"
Gu Sanqiu rubbed his brows and said, "I say, before you two start quarreling, can you bring my wine over first?"
"Feel sorry."
Diluk belatedly offered Gu Sanqiu some wine: “He’s been here for a few days.”
"Well, I can't remember it very clearly, mainly because some days were a little bit upside down."
Gu Sanqiu shrugged. "Don't try to trick me. How would I know the details about your Mondstadt's East Wind Guardian? If you ask me about some local deity in Liyue, I can still answer you."
Diluk shook his head. "Well, I don't mean to trick you. I just think there's something wrong with you. Every time you come to Mondstadt, something strange seems to happen ."
…
"Don't give me that. When I wasn't in Mondstadt, a lot of things happened here too. What does this have to do with me?"
Gu Sanqiu's face darkened. "I didn't come during the battle in the secret realm, but that area almost had an earth-shaking effect. As the head of a chamber of commerce, can you use some logic when making judgments?"
Are you kidding? If Diluk feels like a disaster because of his behavior, then after Sora wanders around Teyvat, will the Dawn Winery have to hang a sign saying "Sanqiu and Sora are not allowed to enter" at the door?
