Section 45
"So, you have been following us. What exactly are you going to do now?"
"Ha~ Did you notice it? But you didn't react at all. Should I say you are stupid or arrogant?"
The lady sneered. The seven gods only had a pitiful little power left. Fortunately, she had made backup plans before.
Barbatos, be grateful. If it weren't for Rustan, you wouldn't be so relaxed now.
Thinking of this, the lady was too lazy to talk nonsense with Wendy. The monster tide had just ended, and the knights would come to check at any time.
The power of ice gathered, the power of power was released, and the lady reached into Wendy's chest - this was the method that the Queen told her to seize the Heart of God before she came to Mondstadt.
"Barbatos, I'll take your Heart of God... huh?"
The lady pulled out her hand, looked at the empty palm, and raised her head angrily.
"Barbatos, where is your Heart of God?!"
...
Chapter 39 Promotion and salary increase, new simulation starts
"Teacher, I'm back."
Su Chen's residence
Arya pushed open the door and greeted Su Chen, who was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper.
The latter put down the newspaper and smiled, "How is the situation?"
"The people of Dihuo have evacuated according to the plan. The casualties are somewhat beyond expectations, mainly caused by the golden beast."
After the battle yesterday, Arya went to the Dihuo base according to Su Chen's instructions.
The Silver Armor Army also broke up into small groups after entering the city and hid through the retreat route prepared in advance.
"It is normal to have many casualties."
Su Chen didn't think it was a big deal.
After all, most of these people officially participated in a large-scale battle for the first time, and there were flaws in their cooperation. Even if they had advantages in equipment, it was impossible to achieve 100% zero casualties.
Not to mention the appearance of monsters like the Golden King Beast.
If Dihuo is given another two months to train by fighting outside the city, the result will be much better.
"Arya, you see, the Knights are quite popular."
Su Chen smiled and handed over the newspaper.
It was all praising the achievements of the Knights.
Arya took two steps towards Su Chen, and suddenly realized something. She lowered her head and said, "I, I'll take a shower first and watch it later."
Yesterday's fight was over, and she was dealing with things afterwards, so she didn't have time to take a shower.
Now she stinks all over.
Looking at the girl who turned and ran upstairs, Su Chen was a little speechless.
Just reading a newspaper, do you need to take a shower and change clothes?
Shaking his head, girls' minds are hard to understand, boys are better, they only like muscles and steel.
He returned his sight to the newspaper again.
After yesterday's turmoil, there is only one voice in the whole Mondstadt now-praising the Knights.
After all, before the battle began, few people would think about being safe and sound, and some people were even prepared to deal with monsters entering the city. They held shovels and frying pans in their hands, just waiting for the monsters to come in and give them a blow.
But the result was far beyond expectations.
The Knights resisted the monsters, and then announced that the dragon disaster was completely solved, which made the people of Mond feel that they were dreaming and had died under the claws of the monsters. All this was an illusion created by Lord Barbatos.
Until early this morning, major newspapers published congratulatory columns, praising the achievements of the Knights and praising the mighty and domineering shield lancers.
Su Chen shook his head secretly. This kind of public opinion is really a fence-sitter, and it will go to whichever side it blows.
But it is still good now. If it were in the previous life, given the situation of the Knights before, those keyboard warriors would not stop until they sprayed and disbanded the Knights.
Beep beep.
There was a knock on the door.
Su Chen walked over, opened the door, and found that it was Luo Minghe standing at the door.
"Old man."
The middle-aged wealthy businessman in his forties bowed his head to Su Chen.
Although Su Chen emphasized that this was not necessary, Luo Minghe still saluted every time on the grounds that "etiquette cannot be abolished".
Su Chen knew that this was the rule of the Luo family and the etiquette passed down from the land of Liyue.
"Is it done?"
Su Chen walked into the living room.
Luo Minghe followed closely.
"Replying to the old man, the medicines needed by the Earth Fire have been delivered. In addition, I have arranged a few doctors."
"Is it reliable?"
"Absolutely reliable. They are all trained by the Chamber of Commerce and will not leak any information."
Speaking of this, Luo Minghe couldn't help but sigh. The old man is the old man. I didn't expect that the famous Earth Fire Organization was actually controlled by the old man behind the scenes.
You know, this is not Liyue.
And the old man started from scratch. He couldn't even imagine that he could achieve this level.
In addition, Luo Minghe remembered that there seemed to be a force called Earth Fire in Xumi, and it was very fierce. I don't know if it has anything to do with his own old man.
If it does, then...tsk tsk~The Luo family is more powerful than it looks on the surface. It is not a dream to surpass the Seven Stars of Liyue.
"Um... Old man, I need to report something to you."
Luo Minghe hesitated.
"Go ahead."
"It's like this, the head of the family knows about my situation in Mond, and wrote to me yesterday asking me to go back, what do you think..."
He made such a big fuss here, it's impossible for the Luo family to have no news at all.
Just the cooperation with the Knights, Luo Minghe must report it.
In addition, a large amount of money was used to build equipment for Dihuo some time ago, and these accounts could not be hidden from the family.
After the current head of the family found out, he sent a message asking him to go back and explain the specific situation.
But what should I say?
Su Chen also told him not to leak information about him without authorization.
Luo Minghe wanted to make it up, but he couldn't.
"Don't worry, I may have to leave in a while, so I'll be with you then." Su Chen thought for a moment and said.
He had to go visit Liyue after all.
Although he has no heirs in the Luo family, the Luo family is also his family in name, and now those people are also his descendants.
Furthermore, most of the hegemony of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce was established by him.
It would be outrageous not to go all the time.
"Mondstadt, after this experience, it's time to stabilize."
Su Chen leaned on the sofa comfortably.
Luo Minghe stood aside respectfully, and couldn't help but feel happy when he heard the old man's words.
If Su Chen can go back with him, his position in the Luo family will be secure in the future.
...
In the afternoon, Su Chen came to the Knights.
After skipping work for a long time, no one from the Knights came to see him. Now everyone was surrounded by a festive atmosphere. No one cared about who came and who didn't.
But one person cares.
Qin has been looking for Su Chen since the morning. He originally wanted to ask about the ground fire, but Su Chen skipped work for a long time. Do you think it is irritating or not?
The key is that there is nothing you can do against him.
Helpless, Qin had to deal with other things for the time being.
The dragon disaster is over, and the people of the Knights can finally breathe a sigh of relief. As the primary contributor to solving the dragon disaster, Ying naturally deserves the title.
So Qin discussed with Lisa and others and decided to grant Fing the title of Honorary Knight.
Although she didn't know what the meaning of this title was, Ying accepted it happily.
She had finished chatting with Wendy and planned to go to Liyue next. As for the attack yesterday, Wendy explained that it may be due to overexertion and the backflow of energy circulation caused by the return of earth vein power to normal, which can cause people who are sensitive to elemental power. I fell into a coma due to discomfort. Although I didn't really understand it, since Wendy said it was okay, there should be no problem.
"Then when do you plan to leave?" Qin asked.
"Maybe just these two days." Paimon stamped his feet in anticipation, "I heard that the Immortal Invitation Ceremony is the grandest day in Liyue every year. There must be a lot of delicious food, hehe~~"
"Are you asking for a fairy ceremony? Indeed, it's already this time before I know it."
Qin also reacted.
Lisa said, "Should we send someone there? Liyue has helped us a lot in the past six months."
"Well, it's true that we should send someone there, but who is more suitable to send?"
Qin couldn't help but frown.
Mondstadt and Liyue have always had a good relationship, and during the six months of the Dragon Disaster, Liyue sold a lot of food at low prices.
Besides, for such a big matter in neighboring countries, they must send someone to help.
At this moment, a childish voice came from outside the house.
