Chapter 52: Kaeya, The Cavalry Captain

"Have you heard? The 12th Harbinger [Instructor] went to attend Master Diluk's banquet." "Diluk's banquet? Is the news true?" In the bustling city of Mondstadt, a male Fatui envoy named Mikhail was whispering with a female Fatui envoy named Lyudmila. And the topic they were discussing was exactly about the Fatui Harbinger. And the [Instructor] they were talking about was at the banquet, enjoying fine wine and delicacies. But compared to being alone at the beginning, he was now surrounded by business elites and celebrities. It is true that the Fatui did not have a good reputation in the continent of Teyvat, but it must be admitted that the Fatui had their own industries in all walks of life. The god of Liyue once said a famous saying. Capital avoids turmoil and disputes only because it is timid by nature. This is true, but it is not the whole truth. Capital is afraid of no profit or too little profit, just like nature is afraid of a vacuum. Once there is a proper profit, capital becomes bold. If there is a 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; with a 20% profit, it becomes active. If tearing up the contract can bring profits, it will cross the line without hesitation, even if it faces the punishment of breaking the promise. The Fatui Harbingers are indeed terrible, but what these businessmen fear most is that they are unprofitable. Unfortunately, they miscalculated. Bai Luo is not responsible for business among the Fatui, but more for assassinations and intelligence. After realizing that Bai Luo did not want to talk to them, these people gradually dispersed. But there was movement on the side of the Knights. "Respected instructor, are you willing to accept the respect from the Knights of Favonius?" The dark-skinned man with an eye mask approached Bai Luo and raised the wine glass in his hand to him. "If it's just fine wine, not weapons, I'm naturally happy to accept it." Bai Luo raised the wine glass in his hand and clinked it with the other party, and responded. When Krober and Diluc were negotiating before, Bai Luo noticed that this guy followed him. I didn't expect him to come out so soon. Did he think that the idiot Krober was not enough to let him take action? Or... did he think it was dangerous to let an Harbinger wander around the banquet? "Please allow me to introduce myself. I am the general affairs chief of the Knights of Favonius, Kaeya Alberich." The so-called general affairs chief is actually equivalent to the office director, logistics director or administrative assistant of the Knights of Favonius. This position not only handles the internal affairs of the Knights of Favonius, but also is responsible for establishing good relationships with people from other organizations. So it was normal for him to come and talk to Bai Luo. "Kaeya? I heard that the general manager seems to be taking over the position of cavalry captain recently?" After coming to Mondstadt, Kaeya's name often appeared beside Bai Luo. Whether it was Luke, the Fatui guard who was responsible for guarding the door of the Goth Grand Hotel, or the idiot Krober, or even the servant who was responsible for sweeping the floor, they all mentioned his name frequently. And these guys haven't discovered yet that Kaeya has already extracted a lot of information from them. "You are well-informed. In fact, after my father passed away three years ago, I took over the duties of cavalry captain from my brother, but I only officially took over recently." Bai Luo knew his situation, and Kaeya was not surprised. Because if his information is correct, this [Instructor] is also a master in intelligence. It is said that most of the information about Liyue, Mondstadt and Inazuma in the Nation of Snezhnaya came from this person. He even knew some secrets that even his own people did not know. For this reason, he specially arranged for his trusted men to investigate. As a result, apart from the Lawrence family, not many people had contact with the Fatui. But those arrogant guys in Lawrence did not take those so-called secrets seriously at all. This also made him very wary of this instructor. Even when he came to say hello, he did not dare to ask casual questions. He felt that the Fatui had infiltrated the core area of Mondstadt without knowing it. "Speaking of which, your brother is Master Diluk, right?" Bai Luo walked to a statue of a night owl, playing with it and asking. "No, we are not blood related brothers, but my adoptive father is very good to me. I have long regarded this place as my home." Seeing Bai Luo approaching the statue of the night owl, Kaeya's eyelids twitched slightly. Diluk is really a crazy guy. He dared to put such a thing in public. Is he afraid that his other identity will not be exposed? "Those who watch the night must not forget the glory of dawn. Those who fight against evil must not lose their upright hearts." This is the inscription engraved on the statue of the night owl, which should also be someone's motto. "I'm sorry to make you laugh, but that guy likes to collect some strange things, and his taste is very unique. The painting over there should be more in line with the instructor's aesthetics. If you want to take it away, I can give it to you." The eye that was not covered by the blindfold kept spinning, trying to attract Bai Luo's attention elsewhere. "No, no, no, I think it's quite interesting." Looking at the line of inscription, Bai Luo said with interest. "Interesting?" This word made Kaeya unable to grasp Bai Luo's thoughts. "Yes, I have a friend, and this sentence reminds me of him. He was born in a city called Gotham. As belonging to one of the four major families in Gotham, the Wayne family, he once witnessed his parents die in front of him. Later, he inherited his family's huge industry and became a top rich man. It's a pity that this guy didn't honestly remain as a rich young master, but insisted on wearing a bat mask and transforming into a dark knight to punish those so-called evil people. Do you think he is ridiculous?" Every time Bai Luo said a word, Kaeya's hand holding the cup would tighten a little. It's right, every point is right. Born in a big family, witnessed his father's death, inherited the family's property, and transformed into a dark night hero to punish sinners. Isn't this his dear brother Diluk? Even the top leaders of the Knights of Favonius didn't know these things, and only the core members led by the Grand Master Varga knew them. Now... this Fatui Harbinger named [Instructor] actually directly revealed all of Diluk's recent situation. What does he mean by this? Is he warning Mondstadt? Proving that he has infiltrated the core of this city? Or is he planning something else? Mr. Kaeya, who often deals with people and is good at extracting information from conversations, began to panic for the first time. No... the first time he panicked was that night three years ago. It was also on that night that he and Diluk lost their common "father". ________________________________________ Hello my dear readers, I noticed that I am not getting power stones.
