Chapter 206: Diluk's visit, Mondstadt's situation, Ying's early arrival
Diluk used the earth veins to teleport to the cave. She looked at the surrounding environment and found that it had changed a lot compared to her first visit to the cave. The reason should be Tianhe, because he had made many friends in Liyue.
As the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius, Diluk naturally did not forget to collect intelligence about Liyue while being busy. She had a general understanding of Tianhe's situation. As for the fact that Tianhe could become the Geo King, Dilu would naturally not have believed it if she had not met Tianquan Ningguang by chance.
Diluk walked towards the villa, looking at the surrounding buildings. Hmm, it seems that Tianhe has met an immortal. He looked at this immortal research institute. Hmm, which immortal built this? Diluk was a little curious, but Xianyun had not returned at this time. Perhaps, she could ask Tianhe for information?
Besides, a fairy research institute was opened next to Lisa's elemental workshop, so they must have a lot of common topics. After Diluk took a look, she continued to move towards the villa. Not long after, she arrived in front of the villa, opened the door, and saw Xiao at first sight. She was sitting in the living room.
"Hmm? Who are you?" Xiao didn't recognize the person who came. Considering that he might be a guest, she asked about his background. Diluk didn't answer immediately. She looked at Xiao and felt a faint murderous aura from him, but it was not directed at her. Diluk guessed that this person was probably Xiao, the Great Demon Sage, one of the Three-Eyed Five-Manifested Immortals.
Not long after, she introduced herself, "I'm Mond Diluc, acting leader of the Knights of Favonius. I want to talk to Tianhe about something. Do you know what he is doing now?" Although Xiao has been guarding Ogihua Island, she is not ignorant of the ways of the world. She naturally understood that the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius must have something important to tell him if he was looking for Tianhe.
"Well, you don't have to be so respectful. Wait a moment. He should be resting on the second floor. I'll go call him." As Xiao moved, a voice suddenly came from upstairs, "Diluk? What a rare guest. I'm sorry for not entertaining you so late."
When Xiao heard Tianhe's voice, his momentum to stand up and go out to look for someone disappeared instantly. Diluk looked and saw that it was Tianhe. He was standing at the stairs, looking at Diluk, and slowly walked down the stairs and came in front of Diluk.
"Aren't you the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius now? I see that you are usually so busy with those things, but you can still take time out to come and see me. Tell me, did you come to see me because of the matter on the snowy mountain? Wendy has already told me that I will seriously consider this matter."
"Well, this is also the reason why I came to you. The Knights Templar really can't spare any manpower, and I, as the acting leader, can't go into battle myself. Then I'd have to let Jean be the acting leader. Is that reasonable? Don't you think so?" Diluk said, and even made a joke. Perhaps, the current Diluk is the real and enthusiastic Miss Diluk.
"However, Mond should have more than just the problem of the snowy mountains. I heard that after the Grand Master of Mond took away four-fifths of the Knights of Favonius, the treasure-stealing groups and monsters became rampant. But under your diligent governance, the environment in Mond has improved greatly. However, it seems that the Abyss Cult is no longer a problem."
Tianhe didn't specify it completely, but Diluk also understood that Tianhe was referring to the Abyss Cult. They had been causing all kinds of trouble in Mondstadt during this period. Well, probably the only good news was that they had a big conflict with the Fatui stationed in Mondstadt for some reason, causing the Fatui to pay a heavy price. Of course, the Abyss Cult was not feeling well either.
When Diluk came this time, she brought Tianhe a very shocking news, "Well, but this is not the point. In Mondstadt, there is a person who calls himself Ying who wants to see you, and he brought a little guy named Paimon with him. Well, it sounds really interesting. I think you should be very interested in this news."
Tianhe confirmed several times and found that he had not heard wrongly. Ying actually woke up early and met Paimon. It seemed that there were still a few years before the main storyline, and he had not heard of any dragon disaster during this period.
Diluk saw that Tianhe was stunned for a moment after hearing the names of these two people, and looked very shocked. She probably guessed that Tianhe should know Ying and Paimon. She also believed a lot of Ying's words about coming to Mondstadt to find Tianhe, so she let Tianhe meet them from then on.
"After all this talk, Tianhe, can I have dinner here?" Tianhe nodded. Diluk had only come to the cave for a long time, so he had to treat him well. So, Tianhe went to prepare dinner, but then two more guests came. Guess who they were? To be continued~
