Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat
Chapter 22 Diluk Joins
Just when Wendy was about to choose what drink to drink, Diluk pushed open the door of the tavern and walked in.
"Put down the wine you took from the back of the cabinet."
Diluk's ruthless voice came, and Wendy smiled with a little embarrassment, but she still held the unopened high-end liquor covered with a thin layer of frost in her hand.
"Don't be so heartless, Master Diluc. I will pay."
"Of course, it depends on performance..."
Wendy hid the wine behind her and looked at Diluk with a gloomy face.
Diluk walked over mercilessly and snatched the drink from Wendy's hand.
Wendy felt disappointed when she saw the wine she had carefully selected being taken away.
After putting the drinks back into the cabinet containing the Ice Mist Flower for insulation, Diluk knocked on the counter top.
"It's not about the money. I see that you are not old enough to drink. The alcohol control regulations issued by the Knights and the Mond Alcohol Association clearly state that alcohol cannot be sold to minors."
Wendy quickly explained that she didn't even know how many times she had drunk in this tavern. Wasn't she just afraid that she wouldn't give it to Mora? Wouldn't it be enough for her to sing in the tavern twice?
"No way. I look young, but I can drink a lot. And I..."
Diluk didn't intend to waste time on the issue of drinks, so he waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want to discuss this topic anymore.
I quickly got to the point and began to look at the people at the counter.
"Let's not talk about the drinks for now. Anyway, you two..."
Shao Yun's sudden appearance startled Diluk. How did the original two people become three?
Thinking back to what the knight had just said, Shao Yun in front of him did fit the description and did look a little stronger than himself, he muttered to himself.
"Hey? How come there's one more person? Now there are three people?"
Looked at Shao Yun and asked his name.
"who are you?"
In response to Diluc's question, Shao Yun leaned forward, placed his hands on the bar, and looked into Diluc's eyes calmly.
"You want to know my name? You should introduce yourself first and then ask my name. That's polite."
Diluk didn't expect Shao Yun to say that. It was just an introduction. It wasn't a big deal. He wasn't some noble who was putting on airs.
"My name is Diluk." He simply said five words, and then motioned for Shao Yun to introduce himself.
Diluk is a key character in the main storyline, so there is no need to hide his name.
"My name is Shao Yun, and I'm Ying and Paimeng's travel companion."
After the introduction, Shao Yun held up four fingers and corrected the mistake Diluk had just made.
"And let me correct you, there are four of us."
After listening to this, Diluk counted the number of people again. There were only three of them. Could it be that Paimon who was flying in the air was also counted?
"Four people? That little thing flying in the air can't be counted as one person, right? If it counts, it can only be counted as half a person."
What Paimon cared about most was when others talked about his size. He was so angry that he stomped his feet in the air and protested, "That's not how Paimon calculates. How can it be half?"
Shao Yun tapped the counter lightly with four fingers, looked at Diluk with an unquestionable gaze, and said seriously:
"There are four of us. Paimon is an individual. Please respect her. Your tavern doesn't charge per person. You won't lose money if you count Paimon as one."
You can't bend your elbows outward. Even if you jokingly say that Paimeng is as small as emergency food, you can only say it to Ying. Others can't underestimate my Paimeng!
Whether Paimon is considered a human being or not has no impact on Diluk. Since Shao Yun strongly requested it, he can just follow his wishes.
"Okay, you four, what happened?"
Diluk had already guessed most of the answer in his mind and was ready to confirm his guess.
"I never thought that someone would be stupid enough to steal something that worthless."
"If you really did it, I would actually admire you. Even if you are fools, you are a rare fool in a thousand years."
Even though it sounds harsh, it is indeed the truth. Talking about this is useless and makes me furious. I want to rush into the Goethe Hotel and beat up those Fatui. It's such a shame that I was robbed!
Shao Yun was filled with rage. Since the thing wasn't in his hands anyway, why should he take the blame for the Fatui?
"The Sky Harp is not in our possession, and we did not steal it. We were just taking a walk outside the West Wind Cathedral, and a rare idiot stole it and then framed us."
Shao Yun, without blushing or beating his heart, directly pinned the blame on the Fatui, which left Ying, Paimon and Wendy stunned.
The three of them thought again and realized that the thing was indeed not in their hands. As the saying goes, they were caught red-handed. Without the stolen property, they could not say that they had stolen it.
Diluk became interested after hearing Shao Yun's explanation.
"Oh? Are there really people who are more stupid than you? Tell me about it."
Diluke was told about the appearance of the Firefly Warlock, a guy with a purple coat, green hair, and the ability to teleport.
After hearing the description, Diluk touched his chin, and soon the image of the Firefly Warlock appeared in his mind.
"I see, it's the Fatui. That makes sense. They are indeed the most foolish people in the world."
Just when Diluk thought that it was not Ying who did it, he changed his mind and there was still a problem. Who injured the knight?
"Who wounded the knight, then?"
"It was probably done by the Fatui." Shao Yun immediately cleared all the blame from his group.
Diluk also started to wonder. What Shao Yun said made sense. There were indeed many Fatui among the Fatui who looked stronger than him. But it still felt a bit unreasonable. How could the Fatui expose their actions?
Seeing that Diluk still looked distrustful, Venti came to Ying's side and introduced her name very confidently.
"It's really not us. Look at this beautiful girl. She's a traveler who just joined the Knights of Favonius. She's a rising star, the honorary knight Ying. She was the one who solved the storm in Mondstadt. How could she possibly steal the piano?"
Bringing the topic to Ying and covering up the theft of the harp was indeed a useful approach. Diluk didn't care about the Sky Harp anyway. Instead, it was Ying, the rising star of the Knights Templar and the Honorary Knight, who could arouse his interest more.
"Oh? So the new star of the Knights who is very popular recently is this lady."
When the topic came to herself, Ying put her hands on her hips, proudly showing off her majestic side.
Hearing that the topic was brought up to Ying, Shao Yun did not hesitate to praise her.
"Of course. If we talk about who can save Mondstadt, it must be Ying. Look at her beautiful face, her white dress, her capable temperament. She is the chosen one!"
Diluk pondered for a while and looked at Ying carefully. She indeed gave people an extraordinary temperament. Moreover, the story of the foreign golden traveler saving Mondstadt had spread throughout the streets and alleys.
"Thank you for helping Mond... But, such a great man like you chose to join the Knights. What a waste of talent..."
His words were filled with contempt for the Knights. Paimon asked like a curious baby, "Master Diluk seems to dislike the Knights very much."
When talking about the current Knights of Favonius, Diluk started talking endlessly, wishing to criticize the Knights from morning to night and criticize them to pieces.
"The Knights are now timid and inefficient in dealing with the Wind Dragon. They also lack the courage to face the aggressive attitude of the Fatui. How can I possibly like them?"
Having said that, the tone is more of a sense of helplessness and disappointment.
"I have my own expectations for the city of Mondstadt... I chose another path to protect Mondstadt."
Criticizing the Knights Templar was one thing, protecting Mond was another, and he knew the difference.
After complaining about the Knights, Diluk was serious this time. An aura of not giving up until the goal was achieved emanated from his body, and he stared at everyone.
"Forget it, let's get back to the point. Don't think I'm easy to fool. Tell me, why did you steal the Sky Harp?"
It was obvious that the words of Wendy, Shao Yun and the others were not enough to fool people.
Diluk doesn't care about the theft of the Skyharp, but he is concerned about the motives behind the theft. In order to protect Mondstadt, he must know the whole story.
It seems that the secret could not be concealed. After confirming that Diluk was going to get involved in this mess, Venti once again told the ancient narrative poem, the story of Barbatos, the god of wind, and Tevarin.
……
After listening to Venti's narrative poem, Diluk fell into deep thought. He didn't expect that the Sky Harp was so important.
"How is it, Master Diluk?"
Wendy told him the most important secret and asked him for the last time whether he wanted to get involved in this mess.
Diluk didn't say much, and the matter of the Wind Dragon should indeed be resolved, so he joined decisively.
"Give me some time, I need to find some help."
"Tomorrow, when the pub closes."
After waiting for a while, the Knights searched Mondstadt thoroughly but could not find the whereabouts of the Sky Harp. The house-to-house search had already caused great trouble to the residents of Mondstadt.
They had no choice but to strengthen the security of the entrances and exits to prevent the Sky Harp from spreading.
After confirming that the martial law in Mondstadt had been lifted, the next step was taken.
Wendy stayed in the tavern, otherwise she would be easily targeted by the Knights if she went out.
Ying, Paimeng and Shao Yun can move freely. Just arrive tomorrow.
The reason why Shao Yun could move freely was because he was wearing a mask and a hat, and the Knights could not recognize who he was at all.
The important task is completed, so next it is time for Shao Yun to go shopping.
"By the way, is it still open?" Shao Yun waved his hand, attracting Diluk's attention.
"It's not closing time yet. What do you want?" Although his first meeting with Shao Yun was not too harmonious, Diluk had no reason to refuse the business that came to his door. His main job was a businessman, so there was no reason for him not to do business.
Shao Yun looked at the menu of the tavern, pointed at the non-alcoholic beverages on it and said, "Four servings of iced hook juice, packed."
Then he pointed at the wine that Diluk had put back.
"And the bottle of wine that Wendy was holding just now, just give it to me."
Diluk skillfully packed four servings of ice hook juice, then took out the bottle of high-end liquor that was emitting cold air and handed it to Shao Yun.
"Here, a total of one hundred and sixty thousand Mora."
Paimon's eyes widened when he heard the price. Four servings of Ice Hook Juice only cost six thousand, but a bottle of strange wine cost one hundred thousand Mora!
"Ah! It's so expensive. Shao Yun, are you sure..."
"Here, this is Mora." After hearing the price, Shao Yun exchanged two dollars for 100,000 Mora, took out a purse and handed it to Diluk.
Diluk took the money with an expressionless face, and then casually made a note in the account book. Shao Yun's order directly boosted the sales of the tavern today.
"Thank you for your patronage."
After getting the bottle of still cold wine, Shao Yun turned his gaze to Wendy.
Wendy immediately wiped the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that he was drooling when he saw the wine.
"What's wrong, Shao Yun?"
"Here, this is for you." She stuffed the bottle of high-end liquor into his arms.
One hundred thousand Mora's worth of wine was given away without any courtesy.
Wendy looked at the wine in her arms in shock and looked at Shao Yun at a loss.
"give me?"
Shao Yun nodded. After getting a positive answer, Wendy turned around and ran to the second floor with the wine, fearing that he would go back on his word.
He ran to the second floor and thanked Shao Yun through the railing.
"Oh, thank you Shao Yun, I will enjoy it!"
After pulling out the cork, a refreshing aroma of wine instantly lingered in front of Wendy's nose.
His eyes lit up with greed and he immediately tasted this bottle of fine wine carefully.
Diluk didn't know whether Shao Yun was willing or not. He just pretended to be rich and asked out of curiosity: "One hundred thousand Mora's worth of wine is just given to a drunkard bard for free. Don't you think..."
Shao Yun didn't care, it was just a small amount of money. He picked up four packages of iced juice and said casually:
"I bought the wine, so I have the final say."
"see you tomorrow night."
