Chapter 285 Lady's Plan
About half a year ago, at the Cat's Tail Tavern.
It was already noon when Liu Bai arrived in Mondstadt. He decided to find a place to fill his stomach first, so he came here.
As soon as he entered the door, he realized that this was a cat cafe.
"A little kitty like you is born to be eaten. It's useless to resist."
"mua~mua~mua~mua~!"
Liu Bai took a kitten to his seat and kissed and hugged it.
Although the kitten was a little overwhelmed as it was the first time to receive such a guest, he was very well behaved and did not resist.
pat!
Diona, who was serving wine to the guests, was so frightened when she saw this that the tray in her hand dropped.
This person has bad intentions towards the cats in the store!
……
"Ah, the kitten is gone..."
After the kitten was taken away by Diona, Liu Bai felt that the sweet stuffed chicken had no taste when he ate it alone.
But even so, he did not waste food and ate all the sweet flower stuffed chicken.
"Sir, my lady, please come over and see me."
Just as Liu Bai got up and left the Deer Hunter Restaurant, a masked man suddenly came up to him and spoke respectfully to him.
"Who?"
Liu Bai asked subconsciously.
"Uh, it's the lady who asked you to come over and see her."
The other party thought Liu Bai didn't hear clearly, so he had to repeat it.
"I know, which lady I mean."
"..."
Liu Bai's question left the other party at a loss for words.
But in the end, out of curiosity, Liu Bai followed him to the Goethe Hotel.
The entire hotel here has been booked indefinitely by the Fatui diplomatic mission, and identity verification is required for entry and exit. However, Liu Bai was not stopped for identity check. Instead, he was taken to a luxuriously decorated tea room.
Rosalin, who had nothing to do, drank tea and ate cakes as usual, while with her other hand she checked the intelligence collected by her subordinates.
"Hey, dear lady, are you having afternoon tea? Would you mind preparing a set of bowls and chopsticks for me as well?"
Seeing the dazzling array of pastries on the table next to Rosaline, Liu Bai's eyes lit up and he remembered who she was, and immediately moved closer.
"Please."
Rosalin responded calmly after taking a sip of tea, and the maid serving Rosalin quickly poured Liu Bai a cup of black tea.
Liu Bai then happily took out his chopsticks, picked up the pastries on the table and placed them on the plate in his other hand.
"The girl will probably like it..."
With a mutter, Liu Bai took the full plate of pastries back into Xiao Bai's room.
"It's time to get down to business. Why did Leirchi come to Mondstadt? The expulsion of the Wind Dragon just now must have something to do with you."
Seeing that Liu Bai had taken enough, Rosalin began to ask.
After parting with Liu Bai in Zhidong last time, Rosaline set off for Mondstadt. She had less contact with Zhidong and learned from servants and rich people who had visited Mondstadt not long ago that he had obtained the Heart of the Water God and the Heart of the Grass God.
This made Rosaline, who had not made any progress in Mond, a little puzzled. Now that Liu Bai came, she couldn't help but wonder if he came to take the Heart of the God of Wind.
"Oh, I'm here to look for someone. As for the dragon... I'm actually a little curious about the taste of dragon meat~"
Liu Bai picked up another piece of cake and started eating it, scratching his head with his other hand as he explained.
"I see. Then we can cooperate."
Rosalyn's lips curled up slightly in a smile.
"What cooperation?"
Liu Bai asked while eating.
"Kill Tevarin and gain the power of the Wind God's followers, and use this as a clue to find the Heart of the Wind God."
Rosaline did not hide anything and told Liu Bai her original plan.
It was just like the problem Liu Bai encountered at the beginning in Liyue. The God of Mondstadt had not appeared for five hundred years, and he had no idea where to start looking for him, so he could only use other methods to find him.
Unlike the people of Mond today who have never seen the God of Wind, Rosaline knew what that God of Wind looked like. If he appeared, Rosaline could recognize him at a glance and take away his Heart of God.
Regardless of whether Tevarin is killed to obtain the power of the Wind God's followers, the Wind God will definitely appear. Even if he does not appear, the Heart of God can be found through the connection of the power of the Wind God's followers.
"Oh……"
After hearing Rosalin's plan, Liu Bai found that she seemed unaware that Tevarin had lost the power of the wind god's followers.
"It just so happens that you want to eat dragon meat, Pantalone wants dragon skin and dragon bones, and I want the power of the wind god's followers."
"As long as you get rid of the Wind Demon Dragon, the three of us will have accomplished our goal..."
Rosalin continued to make suggestions to Liu Bai.
This guy is stupid but strong, perfect for dealing with Tevarin.
"Brother Fu wants one too?"
"Okay, I'll skin it right now!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bai immediately stood up, rolled up his sleeves and walked outside.
For the sake of my future funding, I'll just peel off a piece of dragon skin!
"and many more."
Rosalin quickly called out to Liu Bai.
"The Knights have been unable to resolve the dragon plague in the past few days. We will put pressure on the Knights to hand over Mondstadt's defenses to the Fatui, and we will help them resolve the Wind Dragon."
Rosalin stopped Liu Bai and continued to explain.
In her opinion, it was not difficult to directly deal with the Wind Dragon, but she wanted to use this opportunity to gain more benefits from Mond.
However, she also knew that the Knights would never really hand over the city defenses to the Fatui, but when the pressure was great enough, they would naturally come to negotiate other conditions.
"So wait until the time is right before you go find the Wind Demon Dragon. Pantalone said he's not in a hurry."
At the end of the explanation, Rosalin added one more sentence, which made Liu Bai give up the idea of looking for Tevarin right now.
"Okay, then call me if you need anything."
Liu Bai nodded, then picked up the cakes on the table and ate a few big pieces. When he found them too sweet, he took a big sip of tea.
"Well, that's the first thing."
"The second thing is, do you know the little girl that Alecino brought? She's the red-haired girl who was with you today."
Rosalyn nodded, then asked about another matter.
For some reason, Krevy didn't seem to like her very much, just like the other children in the Hearth House.
"I don't know, but she called me brother, so we should know each other."
Liu Bai answered somewhat uncertainly.
"Is this so..."
After hearing Liu Bai's answer, Rosaline didn't ask any further.
She was very curious about this girl who seemed to be of great importance to Arlecchino.
Unfortunately, the Fatui's largest intelligence organization is Hearth House, and the controller of Hearth House is Alechino. She ordered the information about Clavi to be blocked, so Rosaline was unable to find out her identity.
In this way, Liu Bai ate and took things from Rosalind's place, said goodbye to her contentedly, and left the Goethe Hotel.
Now Liu Bai had nothing to do, so he decided to find a place to wait for Nashida to find him.
After going around in circles, Liu Bai arrived at Mond Square.
Although it was attacked by a wind dragon not long ago, there was actually a bard here who was singing and playing for the people.
Liu Bai stood nearby and listened for a while and thought it sounded quite nice.
Seeing the bard in green clothes holding a hat to receive tips, Liu Bai also took out a Mora and threw it over, accurately into the hat.
When he saw the Mora with the largest denomination in the hat, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Dear audience friends, today's performance ends here, see you all at the Angel's Gift~!"
Putting away the Mora in his hat, the bard ran away without stopping.
