Chapter 100 Debt Transfer
Mondstadt, a gift from an angel.
When Chen Tianfeng entered the tavern, there was still nearly an hour before the time he had agreed with Eula and Kaia.
This was the second time the three of them met.
Chen Tianfeng and Kaia agreed to meet up, naturally they had their own ulterior motives, but Eula was different, she felt that drinking alone was too boring. After the other Monds learned her last name, not only did they avoid her when drinking at the same tavern, they also avoided her.
This also means that when Eula drinks, there is always a large empty area around her. It is quiet, of course, but also really boring - no one wants to drink alone under the strange looks of others.
Chen Tianfeng didn't care about the last name Lawrence, and neither did Kaia, so the three of them became drinking buddies.
To the people of Mond, fine wine and freedom are equally important, so even during the dragon plague, there is no shortage of guests for the angels' gifts.
Anyway, the dragon disaster and storm did not enter the city, and the trade routes for transporting wine were not greatly affected, so life must go on, and the production of wine naturally cannot be stopped.
Diluk stood behind the bar, wiping the glasses that seemed to never finish. His expressionless face scared away many customers, who all consciously and tacitly looked for the bartender Charles to place their orders for drinks.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Chen Tianfeng greeted him and sat down on a high stool in front of the bar. He glanced at Charles who was playing with the cocktail shaker, then looked away with a raised eyebrow: "Mr. Diluc, are you experiencing life?"
"Yes, staying in the pub occasionally can help me think more clearly."
Diluk answered casually and continued to wipe the cup: "Long time no see. I heard that Mr. Chen accepted a commission from the Knights some time ago. How do you feel?"
"Not bad, but the Knights are short of funds recently, so they only gave me half of the promised reward. I don't know when I can get the remaining half."
"Oh?"
Diluk finally put down his cup and looked up at Chen Tianfeng: "Has the Knights Order declined to this extent?"
Isn't it a bit too embarrassing that they can even withhold wages?
"Well, that's not the case. It's also difficult to get my reward. The Knights have done their best."
Chen Tianfeng waved his hand and said casually: "Captain Kaiya promised that he would give me this reward the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"Kaeya..." Diluk narrowed his eyes. "For this guy to come forward, it seems that the reward Mr. Chen wants is indeed not something easy to get. I am a little curious, can Mr. Chen tell me what the reward is?"
"Of course, this is not something that should be kept secret."
Chen Tianfeng smiled and said, "When persuading me to accept the commission, Captain Kaiya promised that in addition to the original compensation, he would give me thirty barrels of the best quality dandelion wine newly brewed by the Dawn Winery."
"..."
Diluk paused and said in a low voice, "Until now, Dawn Winery has not received any wine orders from Kaeya."
So how does Kaia plan to get those thirty barrels of dandelion wine?
Diluk speculated on several possibilities based on his own stereotype of Kaeya, successfully making the stereotype even more stereotyped and unbearable.
"This... maybe Captain Kaiya asked someone else to do it for him?" Chen Tianfeng hesitated: "Captain Kaiya will never delay payment, not to mention..."
"Not to mention what?"
"Besides, Captain Kaia promised that if he is overdue, then he will abstain from alcohol for one day for every day he is overdue until his payment is paid."
"Did he really say that?"
"Of course, I still have the IOU he wrote."
Chen Tianfeng took out the IOU, placed it on the bar, and pushed it towards Diluk: "Although I have only been in Mondstadt for a short time, I think that for the people of Mondstadt who love fine wine, this kind of promise is something that they must fulfill, right?"
During the last drink, Chen Tianfeng asked Kaiya to sign this IOU for various reasons - thanks to Captain Eula's unintentional assist, otherwise it would not be so easy for Kaiya to sign such a thing.
"perhaps."
Diluk picked up the IOU and glanced at it. After confirming its authenticity, he thought for a moment and put it down without giving it back to Chen Tianfeng: "Mr. Chen, can we make a deal?" "Go ahead."
"Pass this bill to me."
Diluk tapped the IOU with his fingers, and before Chen Tianfeng could show any embarrassment, he said calmly, "I can give you sixty barrels of the best quality dandelion wine newly brewed by Dawn Winery."
"make a deal!"
Chen Tianfeng extended his hand and smiled: "It's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Diluc."
"Pleasant to work with."
Diluk extended his hand and shook it, saying, "If Mr. Chen has not changed his residence, the staff of Dawn Winery will deliver the dandelion wine to him by tomorrow evening at the latest."
"No replacement, Mr. Loudiluk is available."
"polite."
Diluk drafted two debt transfer commitment letters, and Chen Tianfeng happily signed his name.
Diluk carefully put away the IOU and the letter of commitment, and then he noticed the arm armor on Chen Tianfeng's left arm. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What is this...?"
"Oh, it's the one Mr. Diluk sent me." Chen Tianfeng raised his left hand, clenched his fist, and smiled, "My friend made some modifications to it, so it looks a little different."
"Can you let me see it?"
"of course."
Chen Tianfeng nodded and took off his arm armor.
"Thank you."
Diluk took the arm armor, turned it over carefully, and ran his fingers over the streamlined outer shell of the black arm armor. The elemental power surged slightly, and he knew the function of the arm armor.
Silence followed.
It wasn't that the transformation was bad, but that it was too good. So good that he felt that the West Wind Church had taken his Mora and only gave him a shoddy product.
If he didn't know much about the West Wind Church and had some similar equipment on him, he would really think that he was deceived by the West Wind Church.
Diluk pursed his lips and returned the arm armor to Chen Tianfeng: "Mr. Chen, I wonder if your friend, this master, is willing to accept some commissions for equipment modification? Don't worry, Mora is not a problem."
"I'm afraid not." Chen Tianfeng shook his head and sighed, "My friend is very lazy. It's probably harder to get him to work than to kill him."
"Is that so... Experts all have some quirks, which is understandable." Diluk nodded, not forcing him. "What would you like to drink, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Tianfeng was about to answer when a voice with a slightly doubtful and uncertain tone came from the side.
"Brother Chen?"
Chen Tianfeng turned his head to look in the direction of the voice, recognized the person, and smiled: "Uncle Tolansi."
"It's really you, Brother Chen!"
Tolansi was quite surprised. He stepped forward and patted Chen Tianfeng on the shoulder, saying with emotion: "It's been a long time since we last met! Long time no see!"
"It's been a long time indeed. How is Uncle Torance doing lately?"
"It's still the same. Affected by the dragon disaster, the adventure team has fewer commissions and more troubles, but fortunately, they all passed without any danger."
Tolansi waved his hand and immediately invited warmly: "Since we have met, let's have a drink together. It's my treat!"
Seeing Chen Tianfeng's gaze, Diluk nodded slightly, and before he could speak, he said, "Mr. Chen, please feel free to do as you please. Don't worry about it."
