Chapter 443: Highly Aware Albedo
Albedo held a sketchpad and quickly recorded various data during the purification process.
The medical staff nearby couldn't help but whisper to each other, with words like "incredible power" and "such talents must remain in the Knights of Favonius" coming out one after another.
It was obvious that they were tempted by the power of the golden retriever, but their good professional ethics and moral standards allowed them to suppress their inner desires.
The man in front of him is a member of the assault team, and a talent nominated by Albedo, the captain of the highly-ranking investigation team.
Even if the other party was a traveler of unknown origin, let alone without the blessing of these two halos, his contribution to the treatment of the Knights of Favonius alone was enough to make them abide by morality and etiquette.
But I still want such talents!
Many idle medical staff members elbowed each other and kicked each other, and finally in this way, one of them was "elected" to stand by Albedo's side.
Well, although it is an election, in reality it is just everyone pushing and shoving their own leaders to take the blame.
As the head of the medical team, he had to bite the bullet and speak under the expectant gaze of his subordinates.
"Um, Captain Albedo, I want to ask you a favor."
"Hmm? What's up?"
call--
The medical chief heaved a sigh of relief. He almost said "I have a favor to ask of you," a sentence that is often seen in Liyue novels and storybooks.
As expected, it was a bit stressful to talk to the captain of the investigation team. His face was indeed somewhat refreshing.
"Well, this traveler's ability seems to be very useful. Every year we consume a lot of medical resources after fighting monsters."
The leader was choosing words: "If we can get him to join our medical team, it will be a good thing for both the Knights' financial expenditure and the fellow Monds."
Albedo stared at the other person for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled.
"You don't have to talk to me in such a formal reporting tone."
For the love of Barbatos, this guy actually smiled.
The leader, his subordinates, and even the sober Knight of Favonius all had expressions of "I've never seen this before".
This person's "three no" characteristics have always been known to everyone in the Knights. Unexpectedly, they would be able to see Albedo's smile today.
Well, they did win after all. Even such a big shot smiled.
Albedo regained his expressionless face: "What I mean is, although I called him here to help, he is an independent individual in the conventional sense. I have no right to arrange other things for him."
Speaking of this, it seems that the only people we know of who have the ability and the ideas to arrange things for travelers are Miaki and the God of Wind.
However, if we follow this logic, are there other gods in this world who know about certain secret organizations and have ideas about this traveler of unknown origin?
Tsk, if that’s true, then this person’s identity must be very special?
Albedo seemed to be thinking about something: "I agree with you. It is indeed necessary for such talents to deepen their ties with our Knights of Favonius."
The medical leader's eyes lit up. "Right, right? Sure enough, heroes think alike. Even if they can't join our Knights of Favonius, it's natural that we should have as close connections with people with special abilities as possible."
"Well, the deeper the connection, the better, it is true."
Albedo thought seriously: "In view of the experience of the Traveler taking risks to launch a surprise attack on us, and his contribution to the treatment of the Knight of Favonius, I think we can apply for the title of 'Honorary Knight' for him from the Knights."
The leader clapped his hands vigorously and said, "Yes! How could I have forgotten this? The title of Honorary Knight must be very suitable for him!"
Albedo nodded. "Well, not only that, he seems to have come to Mondstadt to look for his lost relatives. We can help him post some permanent missing persons notices on bulletin boards in the name of the Knights."
The text on places like bulletin boards can change at any time, just like the most common political policy announcements.
They can reserve a space on the bulletin board for posting missing person notices. If possible, they can also set up a separate bulletin board specifically for such missing person matters and improve Mond's shortcomings in this regard.
As for the little friend flying around Sora, Albedo felt that he only needed to give the other party a treasure chest of gold and silver treasures, and his "pillow talk" would be enough.
Although it is impossible to make the little guy named Paimon betray on the spot, but once this move is made, as long as it does not touch the bottom line, the other party will definitely become closer to Mond.
It was just a treasure chest of gold and silver. Albedo even felt that the Knights Templar didn't need to contribute any money at all. He could just go to his own storage room and fill a sack. The amount should be enough.
"However, Master Albedo, there seems to be a problem here."
The leader looked embarrassed. "Well, your friend, the gentleman named Gu Sanqiu, seems to have contributed more. If the Traveler needs to be awarded the title of Honorary Knight, he should not be left behind."
"But the honorary knighthood is already a violation of the rules. It may not be easy for the Knights Templar to confer the title of honorary knight on two people at once."
Albedo gave the other person a strange look, thinking that this person must have some misunderstanding about Sanqiu's circle of friends. But it was no wonder, as the two had never had any intersection before.
The high-ranking members of the Knights Templar were all his acquaintances. Whenever Sanqiu came to Mondstadt, they would eat and drink together. How could they possibly object to awarding Sanqiu the title of Honorary Knight?
Moreover, even if it was a matter of official business, and the title of honorary knight was bestowed on the other party, it would definitely be passed unanimously, regardless of emotional factors. There was no need for much discussion on this issue, and it would be passed directly by a show of hands.
Apart from these two aspects, Albedo actually suspected that the last time the East Wind Guardian reappeared in the world was also caused by the other party, but it was not easy to say it out loud.
Albedo tried to sound serious and sincere: "Then let me ask you, have both of them made great contributions to Mondstadt?"
The leader nodded in confusion.
There is no need to talk about Gu Sanqiu. If it were not for the Traveler, even if the Knights of Favonius found a way to purify the corruption, it is estimated that the combat effectiveness of a group of knights would be damaged, or even retire at a young age.
Although the traveler's contribution is not earth-shattering, it is definitely of great significance to Mond.
"That's right."
Albedo explained: "Since both of them have made great contributions to our Mondstadt, we can just report our ideas directly."
"For those who have done Mondstadt a favor, if we fail to show enough sincerity due to some old-fashioned rules, wouldn't that be a violation of their free will?"
"Rules are dead but people are alive."
Albedo continued earnestly: "For those friendly people who are kind to Mondstadt and have provided substantial help, we can appropriately demonstrate the will of freedom."
"This is not only a way to repay them, but also a way to show Mondstadt's attitude to the world. In a free city-state, good deeds are rewarded, and the people of the Wind God will never mistreat their friends. This is a good opportunity to improve Mondstadt's external image."
"We are only responsible for reporting to the Knights, and they will make the final decision. But I believe that the people will follow our free will and make the most appropriate decision for Mondstadt."
The leader suddenly understood and nodded: "So that's it, I understand, I understand!"
One of the bigwigs in the medical department immediately showed great respect to Albedo. No wonder he was so young and yet he was the unrivalled alchemist and admired by everyone, and also served as the captain of the Knights of Favonius' investigation team.
With such thoughts and awareness, it’s no wonder that the other party can achieve such high achievements. Compared with mortals like me, there is simply a world of difference!
I am convinced!
