"A seemingly ordinary winery actually has so many secret passages. It really does have secrets, huh?" Ye Xuan paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and took back what he had seen after exploring the secret room on the second floor.
Different from other areas, a room on the second floor is obviously equipped with more complex and dangerous mechanisms, and under Ye Xuan's powerful knowledge, he also discovered objects rich in elemental power, which vaguely reveal that they are completely related to the Eye of God. The opposite evil aura, there is no doubt...these are actually the evil eyes from the Winter Kingdom.
"Master Ye Xuan, the tea and food are ready. You can move to the dining table." The voice of the head maid Adeline interrupted Ye Xuan's train of thought.
"Okay." Ye Xuan stood up, walked to the long dining table, looked at the fried meat in Adeline's hand, and grinned secretly.
There is a rumor in the circle of players in the past life. It can be guessed through the conversations of several maid NPCs in Chenxi Winery that this seemingly peaceful winery is actually an out-and-out black shop. After killing people, the bodies are stored in the secret room on the second floor. When the next guest arrives, he will make it into delicious ingredients for them to enjoy... But thinking of the evil eyes in the secret room just now, these rumors may be deliberately released by Diluc and his confidants in order to guide others. misunderstanding, thereby making one's behavior against the fools more covert.
Looking at Adeline with a professional smile in front of him, Ye Xuan's eyes flashed. Perhaps this normally gentle elder sister is Diluc's most important confidant.
Chapter 120 Diluc
Picking up the silver knife and fork, Ye Xuan was about to enjoy a delicious meal when he heard a few men talking outside. The wooden door was pushed open, and with the cool and majestic air from the outside, two tall men walked in one behind the other. Come in.
The person following behind him was a man in his 30s, with short gray hair and a tall and thin build. He unconsciously exuded an aura of calmness and authority, as if he had been in a high position for a long time.
But at this time, there were a few thin blood marks on the handsome man's face, as if he had been attacked by some cat.
Touching the wound on his face, the man looked depressed and kept complaining to the person in front of him: "Ever since the bartender named Diona joined the Cat Tail Tavern, Margaret's business has been booming, and even started to faintly It threatens our Chenxi Winery’s industry.”
"Master Diluc, I originally wanted to invite that little girl to join our Chenxi Winery. I said a lot of good things and gave her a pretty good treatment, but who knew..."
The man's hand unconsciously touched the scabbed wound again, and he took a breath of cold air: "That little girl suddenly jumped out from behind the counter. She was so agile that she didn't look like a human being. She just gave it to me. I scratched my face, wuwu.”
"Diona is a member of the [Katzlein Family], and she is not a pure-blooded human being." The cold voice said without any fluctuations. The man in black in front was tall, with short fiery red hair and a signature little face. Mao Pilian has a series of titles such as "Lu Guoba" and "Torch Qiuqiu Man". The owner of Chenxi Winery - Diluc: "That little girl Diona's attitude towards me has always been very stiff. I have never found a suitable opportunity to communicate, um..."
"I wonder if it involves the past family feud, the Ketzlein family..."
"Master Diluc, you are back." Adeline stepped forward to greet her. At the same time, her eyes signaled Aize to stop his endless complaints. Then she turned to look at Diluc and said softly: "It's from Yunxuan Tea Merchant. Young Master, sign the tea purchase contract on behalf of Boss Yunzhi."
"Tea contract?" Diluc yelled, looking unconcerned. Aize beside him immediately said: "Master Diluc, just leave the business matters to me."
Diluc nodded. Although he is now the leader of Dawn Winery, unlike his father, this young and promising richest man in Mondstadt has always been indifferent to his own affairs, and almost all business-related activities have been handed over to him. Let the housekeeper Aize come forward.
He is busy with his own affairs all day long, and looks even more mysterious in the eyes of outsiders.
The three of them walked into the house and saw Ye Xuan who was dining at the dining table. Ai Ze straightened his collar, put on a smile on his face, and was about to step forward in business mode.
Diluc glanced back and was about to step upstairs to rest when his body suddenly stiffened and he stopped immediately.
"Master Diluc?" Aize and the head maid Adeline looked at him with some confusion.
"Suddenly I felt a little hungry. I happened to have a business partner here. Let's have a meal together and get to know each other."
Diluc looked at the young man at the dining table who was concentrating on eating with his back to him. His red pupils shrank slightly. He turned to Aize and said, "I will be the one to handle the contract this time. It is also a good opportunity to get familiar with each other." Family matters.”
After saying that, he nodded towards Aize and Adeline who were full of surprise, turned around and walked towards Ye Xuan.
"This is Mr. Diluc, he's famous. It's better to meet him. He is indeed very handsome."
As if alerted by the sudden footsteps behind him, Ye Xuan pretended to be surprised and stood up to say hello.
Naturally, he had discovered the existence of the two Dilucs a long time ago. In the advanced sense of perception, the man in front of him exuded an extremely blazing fire element breath. It was different from walnuts and Xiangling, and even more Fierce and powerful, more destructive, it is a feeling that can only be honed through countless ups and downs, countless setbacks, and countless desperate and tragic battles.
"First meeting, Master Ye Xuan, I am Diluc Legenfend, welcome to Chenxi Winery."
Diluc's tone became gentle, but when he looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes became slightly serious, and the muscles under his clothes became even tighter. As a genius since childhood, his years of hard training, death fighting and training have made him more mature. He has become an extremely powerful fighting intuition and instinct. It was not obvious just now when he was standing at a distance. Now when he was face to face with Ye Xuan at close range, a strong sense of threat actually came from the seemingly immature young man in front of him.
This feeling was clear, dangerous and deadly. Diluc knew that if his judgment was correct, the thin boy in front of him might have the power to kill him easily.
Unbelievable!
The palms placed at his side were lowered, and the sweat in his palms could clearly feel the coolness in the air. Diluc secretly opened his elemental vision, and the world became a different look in his eyes... He didn't feel any elemental power, no. The Eye of God is not the evil eye worn by those fools.
This world is really crazy!This little guy is probably only sixteen or seventeen years old, he seems to be underage.
After confirming his intuition for the first time, Diluc sighed in his heart. He didn't know what to say for a moment. The kid in front of him almost gave him a sense of danger that exceeded that of all the humans he had ever seen. If he had to say it, this leaf at this moment The aura of the young master is somewhat similar to the Wind Demon Dragon that was near Mondstadt a few days ago.
For the first time, Mr. Lu, who felt that he was as old as a dog, sat opposite Ye Xuan with an expressionless face, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
...after the meal.
Brush brush.
Mr. Lu's writing was so fast that he didn't even glance at the contents of the contract. He signed his name on it without any hesitation. With such a careless and irresponsible attitude, I'm afraid that the housekeeper Eze will immediately take action after seeing it. Prevent.
Liyue merchants are recognized as cunning and shrewd among the Seven Kingdoms. They often like to leave undetectable details in seemingly normal contracts. Even though the other party is the young master of the cooperative merchant, his master signed the contract so easily. In Eze's opinion, it was no different than seeking death.
"Master Diluc, what a pleasure." Ye Xuan took the contract with a smile and signed it decisively without checking. His demeanor and movements were exactly the same as that of someone else, as if he didn't care about his own business at all.
But in Diluc's view, Ye Xuan's actions showed extreme confidence in his own strength.
"Master Ye Xuan came to the winery today just to sign a contract with Boss Yun Zhi?" Diluc asked pretending to be casual as he watched Ye Xuan casually put the contract into his bag.
"It's just a way. Like Mr. Lu, we are not very interested in our own business." Ye Xuan was like a child who had been at home for a long time and left home to travel abroad alone for the first time, with an excited and happy smile on his face. : "I have never been to Mondstadt before. This time I will take this opportunity to live in Mondstadt for a while."
"And..." After changing his tone, Ye Xuan's next words made Diluc's pupils shrink: "I heard that there is a dragon disaster raging near Mondstadt City. Hahaha, the Wind Demon Dragon... that is the legendary dragon clan. "
"Such an interesting scene, I don't want to miss it."
Chapter 121 Rewards
The demon disaster that once plunged Mondstadt into crisis was just 'interesting' in this guy's eyes.
Diluc looked at the young man in front of him calmly, deep in thought.
Although he is young and so powerful, Ye Xuan exudes a cynical temperament, without any trace of the arrogance and attitude that the strong are accustomed to.
Is it strong self-confidence, or extreme arrogance caused by young success?Or maybe both?
"After all, the Wind Demon Dragon is an ancient demon god, and it is rumored to be one of the dependents of the Wind God Barbatos."
Diluc looked at Ye Xuan and said as if admonishing or chatting: "Now that the Wind God of Mondstadt has disappeared for a hundred years, it is difficult to predict what the Wind Demon Dragon will do next. It is better for you to be more cautious."
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu." Ye Xuan chuckled and nodded: "I'm not the kind of idiot who thinks he's invincible just because he has some strength. I definitely put my life first."
"Well." Diluc pondered for a moment, then reached out and took out a black silver seal, palm-sized, with a night owl pattern printed on it: "This is the seal that represents my identity. What did I encounter in Mondstadt?" If you have any troubles, you can ask someone from my family to resolve them at any time, and you can also advance a large sum of money for consumption at any time."
"gave it to you."
"How embarrassing." Ye Xuan scratched his head.
"Take it, every business partner who has cooperated with the Legenfund family will be treated like this."
Mr. Lu's expression was as normal and he did not tell the truth. Even among Diluc's many old acquaintances, there are very few people who can be given this kind of treatment. Even the current leader of the West Wind Knights and the bishop of the church are such big figures. Or the "brother" who grew up with him never got it.
"In that case, I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders." Taking the Night Owl seal from Mr. Lu, Ye Xuan put it in his arms without much thought.
From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the statue of a night owl sitting next to the stairs. Thinking of the two lines of text on it that symbolized glory and history, Ye Xuan pondered for a moment, took out a round object that looked like jewelry from his bag and handed it to Mr. Lu.
"There is an old saying in Liyue: When you are old, you cannot be rude." Ye Xuan said with a smile: "This thing... I got it from others accidentally, let's treat it as a gift in return for the seal."
"This is... the empty shell of the ownerless Eye of God." Touching the dull object in his hand, Diluc showed a hint of surprise and said: "The Eye of God will turn into something after the death of the [Original God]. Such an empty shell no longer contains elemental power, and there is no specific way to awaken it."
"But..." Diluc paused, took a deep look at Ye Xuan, and said with unclear meaning: "If this thing were put at a general underground auction, I'm afraid it would be bought immediately at a very high price. …”
"Because for some ordinary people who are not favored by the gods, the temptation to control the elemental power and become the controller of the Eye of God is unimaginable. Even if this 'dead' empty shell has a very small chance of being able to compete with it, Resonance, those people will not give up..."
"Such a precious thing..."
"I have no obsession with the Eye of God. If Mr. Diluc doesn't need it, I will just sell it." He interrupted Mr. Lu, and Ye Xuan looked at the silent man in front of him with a smile: "That's right. Why don't you give it to Mr. Lu? As the saying goes: Eaters have short mouths and takers have short hands. In my opinion, the favor of you, the richest man in Mondstadt, is more useful than this broken stone."
Diluc: "..."
... After chatting for a while, Ye Xuan refused Diluc’s offer and left Chenxi Winery alone.
Standing by the window, watching the boy's retreating back, Diluc was silent for a moment, then took out the empty shell of the Eye of God from his arms: "Adeline."
"Master Diluc, did you call me?" the head maid came over in response.
"This ownerless Eye of God, Adeline, you will wear it from now on." Diluc put the empty shell on the head maid's hand: "Can you try to see if you can resonate with it? Light it up.”
"Okay, Master Diluc, I will try my best." Looking at the gray empty shell in her hand, Adeline's eyes were full of excitement and surprise. As long as an ordinary person in the continent of Teyvat is in control of the Eye of God, there is nothing wrong with it. Those who yearn for something.
Although the acquisition of the Eye of God varies from person to person, many people have also questioned whether such an empty shell can make it easier for ordinary people to obtain the Eye of God.
But it is undeniable that many people in history have used this method to light up the Eye of God and control the power of the elements.
"Is this given to us by Young Master Ye Xuan?" Adeline played with the tarnished empty shell of the Eye of God in her hand, looking extremely fond of it and eager to try it.
"That's right." Diluc looked at the goods and said calmly: "He is an interesting person. He is so young and an ordinary person without the eyes of God, but he can hone his strength to such an extent."
"Strength? That Young Master Ye Xuan, he doesn't look like him." Adeline, the head maid, was stunned.
Unbelievably strong, the last time I felt this chilling aura... was when I encountered Eleven [Executive Officers of Fools] a few years ago... With this thought in my mind, I didn't answer the head maid's question for a moment. Question, Diluc was silent for a moment, as if he suddenly thought of something, his iceberg-like cold expression melted slightly, and a gloating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "When such a person comes to Mondstadt, the guys from the Knights will have a headache. That’s it.”
"Oh, by the way, there is also that guy who pretends to be cynical and careless all day long, using his status as a cavalry captain to go around and find out other people's secrets. I hope this young master Ye Xuan will not be offended."
"He was accidentally beaten to death, and he still wants to trouble me to collect his body."
"Cynical...are you talking about Master Kaia?" Adeline lowered her head, her mouth twitching slightly when she heard Diluc's teasing, and she was secretly worried about the young master she had watched grow up.
Master Kaiya, I hope you won't provoke that young man... "Brother Ye, follow us to the intersection ahead. Go north to Mondstadt City."
Under the bright sunshine, a group of caravans were driving slowly on the flat road.
The speaker was a young man named Us, who looked like a native of Mondstadt. Ye Xuan had no impression of this person. He was probably an NPC who was not very important in the game, or had never appeared at all.
Hearing that Ye Xuan was a traveler from Liyue and that he was alone, this guy took him to his caravan and introduced the situation of Mondstadt in great detail along the way.
"It seems that people in Mondstadt are quite enthusiastic, except for Mr. Lu." Ye Xuan clasped his hands behind his head and walked beside Us, listening to him telling some gossips and interesting things about Mondstadt. Except for a few trivial contradictions, The general situation is similar to what I know.
I just don’t know how far the dragon disaster has reached now, and whether the real main plot has been opened... huh?
Ye Xuan suddenly stopped and turned to look at Us: "Tell your people to stop for a moment."
"What?" Us was a little confused and continued to walk a few steps forward. Then he was frightened and dumbfounded by the scene at the intersection in front of him. Without thinking too much, he quickly shouted to the people around him: "Everyone, pay attention, protect the goods and take shelter first." , there are...a large number of monsters infested ahead."
Chapter 122 The girl falls from the sky
"Acridine!"
Accompanied by a few familiar and friendly calls, several monsters with the height of a child rushed out of the grass at the intersection ahead and surrounded Ye Xuan's caravan in groups.
The seemingly slender but powerful limbs, the savage-like attire, and the iconic dirty mask on the monster's head, and its ferocious and violent aura immediately caused chaos in the originally neat convoy.
"Ah, it's from Qiuqiu." Wusi's face next to Ye Xuan turned pale, his tall body trembling like a frightened girl, and he said in panic: "This is one of the safest business roads in the Mondstadt area, how could this happen? Haven’t the Knights of the West Wind cleaned up the surrounding monsters a long time ago?”
"What to do, there are so many monsters, these goods of mine..." Wusi took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and looked away from the goods, looking at the Qiuqiu people in front of him who were obviously a little abnormal and the number of people who were gradually increasing. The number of monsters, thinking of what happened in Mondstadt some time ago, I couldn't help shouting: "Is it because of the dragon disaster? Is it the influence of the wind demon dragon? Or..."
Before he finished speaking, a fiery breath came from the front along with a sharp sound that broke through the air. Wushu's eyes were stunned and he had no time to react. Then he felt his collar tighten, his feet almost lifted off the ground, and his whole body was suddenly hit by a strange force. Pull aside.
