Chapter 403
Chapter 403
"The end, I wish it were!" Diluc
smiled faintly, not saying more.
If he had just joined the Knights of Favonius, Diluc would probably persuade his father to think more about the Knights.
After all, he is responsible for the defense of an entire city-state, maintaining the safety of many people's lives and property, and in many cases, it is impossible to take care of all aspects.
At that time, the young knights with a passionate heart were carrying great power to join the Order.
It's just that after the washing of time and many complicated little things, Diluc's views have changed.
Now.
He has been able to face all possible events with a rather indifferent attitude.
The enthusiastic young man is still enthusiastic, but he will inevitably be hurt by the dark and cold world after all.
There are also narrow-minded scum who act under means among the knights of splendor and beauty, and there is no shortage of poor people who are affectionate and righteous and have no choice but to do it among the criminals who are traitors and thieves.
All in all, Diluc was still as promised when he first joined the Knights of Favonius, and his ambitions never changed.
It's just that he no longer pays attention to whether the means and methods are just, and in order to achieve the goal of justice, he will also consider using many methods such as gift-giving, which were completely scoffed at before.
This is how people grow.
There is nothing wrong with sticking to grand dreams, but in reality there will always be unspoken rules that you don't know.
Either they are strong enough to break through these rules and regulations, or they devote themselves to it, sneaking through the darkness with light in their hearts, until a certain moment, when they grow strong enough to compete with all the people and things that stand in front of them, and then the light that has been hidden in their hearts for a long time will be revealed!
There is nothing more joyful in the world than seeing my son grow up.
Looking at Diluc, who was becoming more and more taciturn in front of him, Qin Yu patted the young man's shoulder, and saw the light in his heart from his eyes, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
True growth often happens unconsciously, not for a long time. Diluc's growth made him happy, "Diluc, you haven't been home in a long time! Kaeya goes back every week during the holidays... Qin
Yu was actually quite depressed.
Judging from the personalities of the two, they are completely different from when they grew up!
Diluc became a Knight of Favonius first, became famous at a young age, and was a worthy heir to the Ragefender family.
Talented, handsome and golden, pure is the template for the protagonist in all novels.
Since joining the Knights of Favonius, Diluc has made many friends in Mondstadt thanks to his outstanding courage, kindness and enthusiasm.
There are many young girls who want to have dinner with them every day, so Diluc is a little overwhelmed, and can only hope that there will be more missions in the group.
Even so, every time I heard that Diluc had returned from his mission, the stone bridge at the city gate would be crowded with many girls holding flowers.
Kaeya is the complete opposite.
Silent and likes to watch the development of events on the sidelines. Clever and wise, with a considerable degree of excellent insight.
He joined the Order later than Diluc, but no one doubted Kaeya's strength.
Every mission, big or small, will be done quite well.
Compared to Diluc, who is like a fish in water in the Knights, Kaeya is more like a side job for the Knights, as long as he doesn't violate the rules of the Knights.
With the relationship between Ryunfender and Diluc, there is also no willingness in the Knights of Favonius to offend Kaeya for no reason.
Every weekend, Kaeya would always take the horse-drawn carriage back to Dawn Winery to discuss some interesting topics with Qin Yu.
Thinking of this, Qin Yu probably understood what might happen later.
Due to Cripps' death, Diluc and Kaeya's personalities change after a sudden change.
The person who really underwent a transformational transformation should be Diluc's, probably higher.
Because—
"Father!"
the conversation was interrupted by a cheerful voice.
Kaeya came running in armor with a face full of joy, and Diluc was pulled by Qin Yu and Kaeya before leaving, so he had to agree to return to the manor for the weekend.
After chatting, Qin Yu walked out of the Knights, and the scenery in the distance was his favorite picture.
Kaeya has a maturity and delicacy that far surpasses that of his peers, and the reason why he chose to do so in the Order is most likely because of Diluc's consideration.
There is no need for two young knights who are both extremely good performers in one place.
Even if the two can be regarded as brothers who grew up together, this is also the case.
In terms of comprehensive strength assessment, the two are actually about the same.
The Fatui had already had the courage to send troops to the whole continent during the time of Cripps, and both in terms of military strength and financial resources showed that it was terrifying beyond everyone's expectations.
The winter trade route that Dott had asked Qin Yu to participate in before did not invest heavily in the end.
Take a portion of Dawn Winery, choose to try it first, and if you can get a return, invest a small amount of money several times.
Over the years, the performance of the Solstice Trade Road cannot be said to have not improved, but it can only be said that there has been no change in the slightest.
And Dott disappeared.
in the room.
Qin Yu filled his wine glass and put one hand in his pocket.
It seems that the rise of the Solstice Kingdom is just two years ago, and after the ice and snow veil is lifted, a trembling kingdom is revealed.
The soldiers are heartfelt and strong, and the financial resources are unfathomable, and the famous mainland executive can cause a huge sensation every time he goes to a region.
Of course.
It is also heard that many merchants do not hesitate to sell their property directly because they are greedy for the huge profits brought by doing business in the Solstice Country, and the final outcome is extremely miserable.
At this time, although the name of "rich" has not yet appeared, there is a high probability that Pantarone is already in the solstice, and the Mora circulating throughout the continent has begun to tilt...
If he had followed the advice of Dort, that is, Dotore, and put all his wealth on the Solstice trade route, hoping to obtain more than 10 times the profit from a single transaction, maybe the Legunfender family's estate would have become part of the Fatui's military spending, right? The Knights
of Favonius have gone through Vanessa, Ellendlin and others for hundreds of years, and naturally they will become decayed and bloated in a sense.
In particular, some special bureaucrats appeared, sucking the blood of giants like moths, and now that the Fatui have settled in Mondstadt under the pretext of helping the Knights of Favonius to rid away the monsters, judging from the various situations caused by the arrival of the Fatui in other regions, the work of eliminating the monsters is also causing more acute contradictions.
The two groups of people who had been arguing endlessly before did not necessarily know who was good and who was bad.
Agreeing to the Fatui may be bribed, or they may simply choose to agree for some reason, and those who don't agree may not all be for Mondstadt, but may simply want the Fatui to give him some favor.
No way....
Qin Yu didn't want to do this, as the biggest financier of the Knights over the years, a large part of his donations had become the pockets of these people, it was hard to imagine that these people who talked about glory and honor under the sun were secretly some guys who were full of their own pockets.
And today's refutation, Qin Yu also gave a reaction in opposition to it.
I believe that according to the style and efficiency of the Knights, a perfect explanation will be given tonight at the latest.
There was a knock on the door, and the butler went to open it.
And so it was.
Qin Yu didn't step forward to greet him as usual, and after inviting the other party to sit down, he didn't say a word.
In accepting the Fatui to get rich and the Dawn Winery to pay for it, as long as you are not stupid, you will choose the latter.
The young official, who spoke fiercely during the day, trembled all over at this time, and felt like he was almost dying.
Since Cripps began to sponsor the Knights of Favonius, no one has prevented him from stepping down on important occasions, which is why there are always people willing to bring him in as a mediator in the heat of the day.
After a crying apology, seeing that Cripps still didn't accept it, he knelt directly on his knees and slapped his mouth wildly.
...
...
Although Dawn Winery is a place for winemaking, there is hardly anything to be seen about wine except for the orchards scattered all over the mountains and the stacked barrels.
Kaeya and Diluc returned in the same car.
Then, the housekeeper led the two to the back of the house.
"You're here to be... Isn't it going to be a competition with the two of us?"
Compared to the silence of the Knights, Kaeya was more open at home, and couldn't help but smile wryly when he saw weapons of different sizes and lengths.
Everyone knows that Cripps trained his body to the point of uselessness because of sword training in his early years, and he looked tall and tall, but in fact, his combat ability was only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people.
This wound has become the most taboo topic for Cripps, and it can almost be regarded as the dragon's scale of the Mondstadt tycoon, even if it reaches the point of death when touched, it will always leave a notoriety in his heart.
Who wants to offend a rich man who is willing to help someone in need?
Diluc frowned, he knew his father's physical condition better than Kaeya, and ordinary knights would probably find it tricky, let alone the two of them.
The two who seem to be thin are actually very strong, if they really start to do it, I'm afraid...
"What's the matter, don't you two think that if you have successfully passed the assessment and selection of the Knights, you think that Daddy and I are weak
?" "Hahaha, what happened to you all of a sudden today? The goal of calling Diluc back is to compete with us?"
Qin Yu knew that these two guys would react like this.
They have all gained the Vision of God, and their combat power is also evaluated as just around the corner in the Knights.
Some have even compared Diluc and Kaeya to the legendary golden duo of Alan Delin and Rustan.
"Which of you two will come first? Say first, if I lose, I'll all the Mora you want to use weapons in the future.
Holding a light thin sword in his hand, Qin Yu casually held a sword flower in his hand, and the wind was heard, smooth and casual, revealing a grandmaster bearing that was enough to shock Kaeya and Diluc.
This moment.
The two of them felt that the person in front of them had been reborn, and they faintly sensed a hint of threat.
They
have all known more or less about Cripps's youth over the years, and they have all imposed their father's wishes on themselves, hoping to fulfill their father's wishes with their own achievements.
Seeing this sword flower now, I was really surprised!
Which of you came first?
As Jian Feng pointed to, it was the first time that the two of them felt such a sharp sword aura.
In other words, Cripps actually has a good fighting power in recent years, but many people see him as a waste man who can't hold a sword.
Kaeya and Diluc met at a glance, and in the end, it was Kaeya who picked up the one-handed sword first, a weapon that was slightly heavier than a regular one-handed sword.
"Father, you have to be merciful!"
It doesn't hurt to use the Vision of God.
"Why bother! Father, if you lose... The
words stopped abruptly, thinking that it was just a trick that could be practiced hard all year round, but Kaeya naturally didn't use all his strength, and walked away, a mediocre move, but with considerable speed.
If Cripps can't take it, he can also accept it halfway.
Hmm....
And then.
Sen Ran's blade rested lightly on his shoulder, and Kaeya's eyes widened in disbelief.
This is actually the swordsmanship of other people's mouths.
He made a response that amazed him just now, purely in terms of swordsmanship, the swordsmanship displayed at that moment was many times better than him!
"... So, don't underestimate me, a mediocre middle-aged man, you don't want to experience the overturning of a car in the gutter
!" "Kaeya, don't disgrace your knighthood!"
Kaeya nodded and gave Diluc a look.
If you don't show some real skills, you will really be looked down upon!
Kaeya who shot again relied on his faster speed and strong strength, and after careful consideration, he directly made a move at a more tricky angle, but Qin Yu could always know his move in advance, and forced Kaeya to draw his sword to defend himself by taking a leisurely walk.
As they went back and forth, Kaeya's attacks were blocked repeatedly, and his heart couldn't help but be angry.
The ice and snow elemental mark appeared on the Vision of God, and Qin Yu had already expected that the sword would retreat with the help of his strength, just avoiding the bombardment of the ice elemental.
"I lost...
Kaeya threw away his sword.
There is no point in continuing to fight.
If it was a life-and-death fight, he would have already been breached!
"Alas, I... "
Kaeya was hurt.
How could it be that he couldn't beat Cripps even though he used his vision?
"It's your turn now!"
Facing two good players one after another, with Cripps' current body, he was still a little reluctant.
However, Qin Yu still wanted to test the results of his workouts over the past few days.
With one hand lifting the greatsword, Diluc's power was revealed.
"Father, I'm coming. "
Always ready!"
Diluc was naturally on guard when he saw Cripps' move.
The heavy sword has no edge, and the great ingenuity does not work.
With the weight of his broadsword, Diluc did have an advantage in his starting hand, but he faced Qin Yu, a man with a complete Rusta swordsmanship heritage and who had fought several battles with Elendrin.
Diluc's greatsword was indeed delicate, much worse than that of Elendrin.
The sword goes sideways.
After the perfect dodge, the disadvantages of the greatsword are gradually revealed.
Whew –
look at the gap.
Qin Yu turned around and took out his sword, and stabbed straight out with the help of the power of the turn.
Zephyr Swordsmanship, Wind Kagura!Diluc
was still half a beat slower, and when he saw his father, whom he had never seen before, he suddenly sighed.
Throw the sword.
"I lost. "
