Genshin Impact: I am really not the European Emperor

"I...I was just joking with you, why did you take it seriously...Okay, okay, why don't I help you for free?"

Hearing this, Si Bailu suddenly smiled, and there was no trace of disappointment from before:

"Then I'm welcome! When I need your help, I will go to your research room to find you."

Watching the man's magic performance, Mona snorted dissatisfiedly, but felt an inexplicable joy in her heart...

Si Bailu withdrew his gaze, collected his thoughts, and said to August:

"You first go back to the Knights and report this matter to Captain Qin. Once I finish explaining the matter here, you will go back and report immediately."

"I understand. May the God of Wind protect you!" August saluted and hurried towards the headquarters of the Knights.

Si Bailu looked at Wagner, who was still stunned, and asked in a calm voice:

"Mr. Wagner, do you still want this hundred pounds of star silver ore?"

After hearing the words "star silver ore", Wagner immediately came back to his senses:

"Yes, of course! Even if...even if we don't need them in the future, I will never let anyone in the Howard family get them!"

Seeing the angry look on the man's face, who would rather live in pieces than live in ruins, Si Bailu nodded with satisfaction:

"You have to have this momentum! As long as you still have the fighting spirit, we have hope of making a comeback!"

"But, I don't know what to do now..."

Wagner rubbed his head in distress, and there was obvious fatigue in his rich voice.

Si Bailu patted his back and comforted him in a warm voice:

“You don’t have to think so much, you just need to do what you need to do step by step, and leave the rest to me.

"Although I can't guarantee 100% success, I will definitely do my best to clear your name!"

Wagner took a deep breath, and then exhaled heavily: "Then there is Mr. Laws!"

The slightly foul smell made Si Bailu couldn't help but frown.

But soon, his attention was attracted by the power of money:

“Let’s trade star silver ore first.

"I remember that the bonus I entrusted to you is one hundred thousand molas! And you will receive a [-]% discount on weapons made in my blacksmith shop from now on.

“Originally this offer was for individuals.

“But if you help me get through this difficulty, I am willing to reduce this discount to [-]% off!

"And it's for everyone who has helped me. What do you think?"

Listening to the other party's methodical speech, Si Bailu knew that the other party's restless heart had gradually calmed down.

However, he still declined the other party's kindness and said righteously:

“You also know that I am the Knight of the West Wind.

“The Knights of the West Wind exist to serve the people of Mondstadt and to bring justice to you.

"We take your taxes and enjoy the wealth of the people. We have received the remuneration we deserve. Naturally, we will not charge you any additional fees."

Hearing these reassuring words, Wagner was quite moved.

When he looked at this son-in-law of the Lawrence family, he no longer had the rejection that was hidden in his heart before.

Except for the beautiful and white Miss Yula, it seems that not all the Lawrence family members are annoying.

Wagner was no longer polite, and after accepting Si Bailu's one hundred kilograms of star silver ore, he took them to his treasury and gave them a hundred thousand molas.

Looking at the ten money bags placed on the table, even Si Bailu, who had experienced life and death, could not help but smile with satisfaction.

Mora's weight is reassuring.

And it is so easy for powerful people to make money.The poor are poor either because they are lazy or because they are weak!

Si Bailu took four money bags from them, and according to the agreement of four to six points, handed the remaining six money bags to the astrologer girl who was watching eagerly.

Chapter 108: The Sword is as Light as a Feather (Thank you Rem-kun for your monthly ticket support, I am really preparing for it~)

Mona, who already had a good impression of Si Bailu, was embarrassed to charge the extra [-] molas, so she returned the extra money bag to him.

Si Bailu didn't ask for it. Instead, he took Mona's delicate little hand, pressed the money bag into her palm, and warned with a stern expression:

“Starting from today, set aside living expenses for yourself, three meals a day, and eat well at every meal!

"When you have no money, come to me to borrow it. Don't go hungry again, do you hear me?"

Feeling the warmth of the other party's big hands, and looking at the other party's majestic expression, Mona's heart skipped a beat, and she nodded obediently with a red face.

……

Including the 18 yuan he just received, Si Bailu already had [-] yuan in savings.

If this had been done in the previous life, I could have made a down payment directly.

But there is obviously no concept of down payment in Teyvat. Generally, when buying a house, you have to pay in full.

This means that the poor may not be able to afford a house in their lifetime, while the rich have so many houses that they almost become ghost mansions.

After giving Wagner a few words, Si Bailu said goodbye to Mona and headed to the headquarters of the Knights of the West Wind alone.

As soon as he arrived near the Knights, Si Bailu saw the tall and tall Captain Qin standing at the door, communicating with a girl with twin tails wearing Lolita and white pantyhose.

In the girl's arms was a long sword with a leather scabbard.

Looking at this girl with the same hair color as Qin, Si Bailu's bones trembled, but then he restrained his inner excitement and leaned over with his head held high:

"Captain Qin, Miss Barbara, hello."

Hearing the man's clear voice, Qin and the girl looked over at the same time.

The former showed an indulgent smile unconsciously, while the latter blinked, his face flushed because of the other's handsomeness.

"Are you here? Let me introduce you, this is...wait, do you know Barbara?"

Captain Qin was surprised and subconsciously took a step forward, half-protecting Barbara behind him.

Si Bailu's expression froze, thinking to himself, are you trying to guard against wolves?Why do you think a gentleman like me is a wolf...

No wonder Barbara has become a sister-controller. Half of the reason is because of you!

But on the surface, he still pretended to be calm and explained:

"Miss Barbara is an idol in Mondstadt. If I don't even know such a person, wouldn't I be disrespectful to Miss Barbara?"

Hearing this, Barbara quickly waved her hands and said humbly:

"Mr. Si, you are serious. I just... did what I like, and I am grateful for everyone's support."

Si Bailu looked at the other party approvingly:

"Miss Barbara's humility is also a popular advantage."

Hearing this, Barbara suddenly became shy, stuffed the Zephyr Sword she was holding into the man's arms, and said in panic:

"Well, I, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave now!"

After saying this, the girl covered her face and ran away quickly.

"This child..." Qin shook her head helplessly, and then apologized to Si Bailu, "She has always been afraid of life, so don't take it to heart."

"How could that be possible?" Si Bailu exclaimed in admiration, "She's quite cute like this."

"Oh?" The corners of Qin's lips twitched slightly, and she asked in a strange tone, "So, you still like a cute type like my sister?"

Si Bailu was stunned for a moment, looked at Qin's half-smiling face, and coughed lightly and said:

"That one, cute and intellectual, I like them all.

"It would be great if all the advantages of women in the world could be concentrated in an outstanding woman like you."

Faced with the man's sudden flirtation, Qin's heart beat faster unconsciously.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes at the other party, and directly changed the subject:

"You are here probably about Wagner, right? I have heard August tell you the specific situation."

The frivolity on Si Bailu's face immediately subsided, and he asked seriously:

"I remember that Wagner's Smithy had a close working relationship with the Knights?"

"Yes. Wagner specializes in building one to three-star weapons for the Knights of the West Wind. The Knights are also the largest weapons purchaser in the entire Mondstadt." Qin affirmed.

"No wonder." Si Bailu fumbled with the West Wind Sword in his hand thoughtfully. After being poked by the tip of the wing on the hilt, he continued:

"It seems that the Howard family now... also wants to eat the big fat piece of the Knights of the West Wind."

Qin crossed her arms, put her right hand on her chin and said:

“In the past, even if the Howard family had ideas, they would not dare to attack Wagner so blatantly.

"Now that I suddenly have this courage, I guess... there may be someone behind it."

Si Bailu seemed to be inspired, his eyes instantly condensed: "You mean... fools?"

"Fools!"

The two of them said the same words in unison, and the corners of their mouths also curved in a tacit understanding.

Si Bailu nodded solemnly and said: "It is indeed possible that the Lawrence family, which originally ranked third in Mondstadt, had a mole planted by them, but I accidentally removed it.

"With no other choice, they turned to woo the fourth-ranked Howard family...

"I have to say that the Fools are really like a pervasive slime, constantly infiltrating into the loopholes of Mondstadt City."

Speaking of this, Si Bailu sighed softly:

"Without sufficient evidence, we cannot directly launch an investigation into the Howard family.

“In the final analysis, we have to start with Wagner.”

Qin nodded in agreement: "How do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Si Bailu pondered for a moment, then suddenly grinned: "I have my own way. But for this operation, I need an important person to cooperate with me."

"Who?"
