Chapter 397: Sitting in the Tavern
After Wendy left, Gu Sanqiu found a place to eat and began to think about what Wendy had just said.
The fools discover certain information about existence, even something substantial, and they are ecstatic to regard it as a wonderful truth, and go further and further on the road of pursuing the mastery of the truth.
But unfortunately, the truth they pursue is illusory or even non-existent. It is just as false as flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, or it is something inexplicably emitted by some existence.
Truth does not exist; falsehood is the truth spoken by fools.
Another point is the golden retriever's strange affinity.
He originally thought that this was the real world, and it was impossible for just a few things to increase favorability, but now it seems that he was too young.
If he didn't have any way to restore his mind to normal, then after hearing Kong's request to find his sister, he would probably spend money and effort to post a missing person notice in Liyue.
It's outrageous.
"Ignorance, truth, and emptiness, is there any connection between these three that I don't know about?"
Emptiness represents the illusory truth, which is what these fools pursue. That is why the other party would unconsciously emit the desire to get close to him?
What about the Princess of the Abyss? Could it be that she has converted the entire Abyss Cult into crazy fans?
"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about this."
Gu Sanqiu drank the glass in a big gulp. Wendy asked him to wait and see what would happen. It was obvious that a topic of that level was not something he could participate in.
It's like a small circle formed by a few like-minded people. Even other good friends cannot participate in the things they talk about. This is a barrier.
Judging from his identity and strength, Gu Sanqiu is currently considered a separated member.
Gu Sanqiu touched the wine glass and then reacted.
With such a big thing happening, Diluk should be experiencing life in the Angel's Gift.
"Very good, let's eat and drink and go."
Gu Sanqiu paid the bill with satisfaction and walked towards the Angel's Gift.
…
clang——
The sharp two-handed sword cut through the stone slabs on the ground. Beside the open-air wine table of Angel's Gift, Diluk inserted the weapon in his right hand into the stone slab, then picked up the juice with his left hand and took a sip.
"You two will definitely pay today, right?"
Gu Sanqiu and another dark-skinned guy with blue hair looked at each other.
After making eye contact, we knew that everyone was here to eat and drink for free.
But our Master Diluk obviously won't give them this opportunity.
"Well, I believe Captain Kaeya will not be stingy with this little Mora, especially since he is paying for a friendly traveler who often comes to Mondstadt to play."
Gu Sanqiu began to talk nonsense in a serious manner: "Besides, the slate tiles of Mondstadt were damaged. As the cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius, I believe Captain Kaia will definitely pay for it."
Diluk instantly united with Gu Sanqiu and turned to look at Kaeya with an expressionless face.
"What he said makes sense, but I don't know what our arrogant and hypocritical cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius would think."
"Hey, hey, you're being too arrogant and hypocritical. That's obviously too much."
Kaiya laughed helplessly: "I'll pay for this, okay?"
Diluk nodded slightly: "Very good."
Gu Sanqiu turned around and raised his hand to call the bartender, and ordered a few more bottles of good wine and the expensive special of the day.
"Hey, even though I said I wanted to settle the previous bill, I didn't say I wanted to treat you today ."
Kaiya's face twitched: "Unlike you guys who have big families and big businesses, I am just an ordinary person who lives on a basic salary."
Diluk sneered, "Humph, the cavalry captain is only living on the basic salary. Could it be that the Knights of Favonius have changed their nature and are no longer interested in accepting bribes?"
Gu Sanqiu ate a small dried fish to go with the wine, then looked at Kaia with a puzzled look.
"If I remember correctly, you often cooperate with the guerrilla team. Didn't you kill most of the treasure-stealing groups in Mondstadt? Didn't you take some of the treasure they had saved?"
Kaia's face twitched heavily.
"What kind of outlaw style of you is this? It 's true , but those things are all stolen money and stolen goods. How could you secretly intercept them? Do you want me to lose my job?"
Gu Sanqiu didn't believe it at all: "How is that possible? It's not like you haven't acted on your own before. After you got the money, you just killed those treasure-stealing groups. Who would know that you took the money? Don't tell me there's no black market in Mond to sell stolen goods."
As soon as these words were spoken, even Diluk, who had directed his firepower at Kaeya, turned his gaze towards Gu Sanqiu.
If I remember correctly, this guy was born in a wealthy family in Liyue , and he is considered a super local boss in Liyue. How come he is so familiar with these crooked ways?
"Don't look at me like that. Isn't this kind of thing very common?"
Gu Sanqiu drank calmly: "By the way, what exactly do the Knights think? It's just a large-scale elemental fluctuation. Amber even complained to me that she was dragged out of bed to work today."
Diluk shook his head. "Elemental fluctuations. Although we have the alchemists monitoring, small-scale elemental fluctuations and elemental deposition are nothing but minor matters. If slimes gather in large numbers, such phenomena will also occur."
Kaia added: "But after collecting, analyzing and sorting out the information, we found that this time the elemental fluctuations are spreading throughout Mondstadt, so the formation is also quite large."
Gu Sanqiu thought for a moment, "In other words, Mond is now in a state of intense combat readiness?"
"That's not the case."
Kaiya smiled and said, "However, I cannot tell such secret information to social idlers like you two."
Oh, you make it sound like I don't know what's going on.
However, there is still no abnormality in the Knights, which is within his expectations.
If such a small matter can cause tension among the Knights, then it can only mean that Jean's work is not up to standard.
Not to mention that Tevarin had just flown around Mondstadt not long ago. Anyone who knew him a little bit now knew that the Guardian of the East Wind, the King of the Sky of Mondstadt, had returned.
No matter whether they were the common people or the members of the Knights Templar, they all felt relieved.
If anyone wants to witness the power of the East Wind Dragon or the Knights' Blade of Faith, they must be prepared to be defeated.
"That's right."
Kaiya said: "Today Amber brought back two foreign travelers. They are probably not from Liyue."
Gu Sanqiu shook his head: "Just look at their clothes and you'll know. How could those two guys be from Liyue?"
"Well, it's very interesting. I heard that he came to Mondstadt to look for his long-lost sister. He has no money or relevant identification. The mysterious feeling is really fascinating."
This last sentence seemed to touch a nerve in Diluk.
Master Lu said coldly: "Mysterious feeling? No matter how mysterious it is, it is not as mysterious as our cavalry captain."
