Chapter 150: The Boom that Can Be Launched (2 a day, 2/, monthly ticket requested)
"I think I've seen your eyes somewhere before."
Wang Hao said one word,
Kaiya, who had originally had a calm expression, was slightly startled, and then a look of surprise and doubt appeared in his eyes.
He should have been a very strong and shrewd person.
But Wang Hao's words still scared him a little.
Kaia knows his true identity.
He is a pure-blooded Kanreya noble.
Their eyes and pupils are very strange, diamond-shaped, like stars.
(This one is from Dein)
"Ahem, this joke is not funny."
Kaiya coughed, but his eyes were fixed on Wang Hao.
Wang Hao was of course not lying, he really had seen it.
At the wine industry fair in Shimen.
The servant following behind the Prince of the Abyss has diamond-shaped star-shaped eyes.
Although there are some differences from Kaia's, it can be seen that they are of the same bloodline.
"Ha, maybe I saw it wrong."
Seeing that Kaiya didn't seem to want to talk about his bloodline, Wang Hao didn't ask any further questions.
Anyway...the barrage has already exposed him completely.
[Kaia is of noble descent from Kanreya.]
【Bloodline of the Alberridge family.】
[The attendant who followed Sora before was probably an Abyss Singer. They were also transformed from ancient nobles of Kanreya.]
[After transforming from the Abyss Singer into a human, he may also manifest his former appearance, which is the appearance of a Kanreya noble. 】
[Wang Hao, the eyes you mentioned are actually the bloodline characteristics of the Kanreya nobility.]
【…】
The good thing about barrage is that sometimes they will scold you, but when you come into contact with something,
These barrages still provide a lot of information directly.
And this information is generally accurate.
Especially the background story, which is basically correct.
As for some small things, I don’t know about these comments.
Wang Hao understood that the comments only knew about the plot.
And the little things...are not included in the plot.
"The grilled tiger fish is here."
As he was talking, the boss came over with a tray with six skewers of grilled fish on it.
"It smells so good!"
Kelly's eyes lit up.
But she didn't reach out for it directly, but looked at Kaia.
Kaiya smiled and nodded: "First..."
"Thank you, Brother Wang Hao!" Ke Li answered quickly.
Wang Hao had no resistance to the little guy. He rubbed Keli's head and picked the biggest one for her: "Eat it."
Klee took it obediently, and then took a bite,
"Good times!"
Wang Hao and Kaiya smiled at each other, then picked up the grilled fish to taste.
Of course, their way of eating is much more elegant than Collison's.
Time passes little by little,
On the other side of the market, lights started to come on on the stage.
There are a lot of buffets under the stage.
We originally planned to have fixed seats, but there were too many people coming.
Finally, Zhiyi changed it to a buffet.
Anyway, this is in line with Mond's banquets and parties.
Everyone was eating, chatting and walking at the same time.
As a result, a funny thing happened: some people stood up at the table, and when they came back, the seat had been occupied.
Of course, in the festive atmosphere, these little accidents did not cause any conflicts. On the contrary, everyone laughed happily.
When the collective atmosphere is positive, even if embarrassing things happen, they will turn into laughter rather than conflicts.
On the stage, the performance is wonderful, and off the stage, there is laughter.
The first Lantern Festival of the Liyue people in Mondstadt was considered a success.
After a few more events are held and it becomes a habit, perhaps... free Mondstadt will have another festival.
Anyway, as long as they can drink happily, the people of Mond shouldn't mind.
As the night deepens,
A large number of tube-mounted salutes were pulled out by the embassy staff.
Everyone came to the wine lake.
Waiting for the final fireworks.
Of course, we have reported this to the Knights.
After all, the noise made by a salute is quite loud.
"It's almost time, let's go watch the fireworks."
Wang Hao, who was taking Klee out to play, looked at the time and said to Kaeya beside him.
Kaia naturally wouldn't have any objection.
The two of them took Keli to the lakeside.
"Fruit Wine Lake, Keli likes it here."
Perhaps because she saw a familiar scene, Kelly was very happy.
He happily reached out to grab her schoolbag subconsciously.
Wang Hao quickly stopped her.
Wang Hao has already understood Klee through the barrage,
She might actually just pull out a bomb and throw it into the lake.
Fried fish!
One of Kelly's hobbies.
After stopping Klee's fish frying, Wang Hao took her to the fireworks array.
"Kelly, have you ever played with fireworks?"
"I've played with it. Klee can make it herself. Just grind the electric crystal into powder, then add charcoal powder and flame pollen, and you can make fireworks... You can also use elemental extract and star silver powder, and there will be no smoke when it explodes~"
“…Your thing is a bomb.”
After a brief silence, Wang Hao once again lamented that Yu Mengde’s preschool education was too excellent.
Of course, he knew that Klee was special.
"Come, I'll take you to play something different. Fireworks are more beautiful than bombs."
Take Klee and find Zhiyi at the fireworks position.
"Sir, why are you here?" Zhiyi welcomed Wang Hao. "Are you here for inspection? We are all ready. We will light the fire at twelve o'clock."
"Okay, can you give up a firing position?"
Wang Hao smiled and pointed at the little Lolita beside him.
"I want Klee to try out Liyue's fireworks."
It would be a great deed if the little one could study fireworks instead of bombs.
Zhiyi took a look at Keli and could tell at a glance that she was not an ordinary person.
Even though she was just a little girl of six or seven years old, the Eye of God on her backpack was enough to show her status.
As for whether the Eye of God is fake?
Since they can all come here with Wang Hao, it must be true.
"Of course, that's just right. I'll give this seat to Miss Keli."
He even gave Klee an honorific title.
Kelly looked at the firework tube beside her curiously, with some interest.
Most of the bombs she made were spherical.
The "explosive" form of firework tubes was still new to her.
"Are you going to light a fire here?"
The little girl held a flame in her hand and gradually approached the fuse below.
"Ahem, the time is not up yet."
Wang Hao coughed lightly, reached out and pinched the flame away.
Although Klee has some talent, her control over the element of fire is still not as good as Wang Hao's.
At the side, a strange look appeared in Kaia's only eye.
"Oh, wait a minute then, Kelly."
The little guy nodded obediently.
Time passes little by little,
The atmosphere around us became increasingly heated.
Although this is not a festival in Mond, the people of Mond are celebrating happily.
Everyone knows that the fireworks will be set off soon.
They all walked towards the lake.
"It's time to get ready to light the fire."
Zhiyi shouted.
The embassy staff around took out flints,
And Klee opened her hand, and the flames ignited immediately.
It has to be said that the holder of the Eye of God is far superior to ordinary people.
"ignition!"
The fuses were lit by the flames,
A hissing sound was heard.
quickly,
"Bang~bang~"
Amidst muffled noises, dozens of flames shot up into the sky, then exploded, turning into gorgeous fireworks that were a feast for the eyes.
On the lake, the starlight and the fireworks exploding in the sky are intertwined, like a beautiful picture scroll.
By the lake, people were bustling about and laughing.
"So beautiful."
"It's so beautiful."
"This festival is interesting. I will come again next time."
"The Liyue delegation is better than the Dongshidong delegation."
"That's right. The Winter Solstice Mission didn't communicate with us, and we don't know why they came here."
"..."
Among the crowd, some fools who came out to fish felt a little embarrassed.
"How about we report this to the higher-ups and hold some winter festival celebrations?"
One of the Fatui suggested.
A colleague nearby rolled his eyes at him and said, "Stop joking. Our executive officer is Lady. She was born in Mondstadt. Why would she celebrate the Winter Solstice?"
The fools around were disappointed.
When living in a foreign country, who doesn’t want to celebrate a festival from home?
It’s a pity that the purpose of the Fatui is not pure, so they will naturally not be distracted by this real means of communication.
the other side,
Unlike the Fatui who were feeling lonely, everyone else was very happy. Fireworks were set off all over the lake, as if falling into the water, splashing ripples of various colors, breaking the quiet lake surface overnight.
The lakeside was filled with people, everyone was filled with excitement and anticipation. They stared at the fireworks in the sky, feeling the beauty of every moment.
Colorful lights and shadows are swaying on the lake, like a joyful ocean, welcoming the fireworks coming from afar and creating a splendid stage for them.
The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, but it did not affect people's appreciation of the beautiful scenery at all.
Everyone was immersed in the outline of fireworks, and their hearts were bathed in the romantic atmosphere.
Those blooming flames, flashing with dazzling light, dance in people's eyes, awakening the desire for beauty in their hearts.
Thousands of fireworks were like stars and the moon, instantly turning the lakeside into a dreamland.
It was a gorgeous night and an incredibly beautiful fireworks display.
"How is it, Klee, are the fireworks beautiful?" Wang Hao asked loudly, holding the little Loli's hand.
The fireworks make too much noise, so we have to be loud.
Kelly looked at the fireworks exploding in the sky, then looked at the firework tubes on the ground, with light in her eyes.
Hearing Wang Hao's voice, she also shouted loudly: "Awesome, awesome, a bouncy ball that can be launched, Ke Li wants to do it too."
The smile on Wang Hao’s lips froze.
what?
A bomb that can be launched?
I took you to see the beautiful fireworks, and you said you wanted to make a bomb that can be launched?
This isn't right.
For a moment, Wang Hao was stunned.
[Hahahahaha, I am dying of laughter, a bomb that can be launched.]
[To Klee, fireworks are just things that can be launched. ]
[So, when Huangmao comes, it won’t be Klee frying fish, but Klee carrying a bazooka. ]
[The bazooka is a little hard to hold. ]
[As expected of Mondstadt's number one arms dealer. 】
[Ms. Alice's bloodline is so terrifying. ]
[I can only say that she is worthy of being called Klee. 】
【…】
After much difficulty, Wang Hao regained control of his facial expression.
He looked at Kaia with a serious face: "I think it is necessary to discuss the issue of children's education with the Knights."
Kaeya also smiled: "I'm sorry, the right to educate Klee currently belongs to Albedo. Although we have done a lot of guidance, Klee has been taught by Ms. Alice since she was a child, and it's really... impossible to change."
Wang Hao was speechless.
Klee has been recognized by the Eye of God, and it is impossible for normal education to change her.
Wang Hao couldn't help but think, if all the little kids in his family were like Klee...
It's cute, but the director will be mad.
Whose child is playing with bombs?
"Then at least we have to control the raw materials. Klee can't go buy explosives herself, right?"
Wang Hao couldn't help but say.
Kaiya's expression became even weirder.
"Klee has her own laboratory, and she can freely enter and exit Albedo's laboratory. In fact, Klee's alchemy level is very high."
Wang Hao finally couldn't hold it anymore. Looking at Klee who was carefully studying the firework tube, he gave Kaeya a thumbs up.
Your Mond education method is powerful. I lose.
Kaiya smiled back at Wang Hao's thumbs-up.
After Mond's experience with Ms. Alice, the level of danger that Klee poses is not worth mentioning.
The two stopped talking about Kelly's education and continued to watch the beauty and splendor of the fireworks.
The fireworks display lasted for more than ten minutes and finally came to an end.
The merchants in Xiao City also began to pack up their stalls.
They were very happy today. They celebrated the holiday in a foreign country and made a lot of money.
The people of Mond who came to join in the fun were also very happy. There were food, drinks, performances and discounts. What a great festival it was! It would be best if we could hold it every day in the future.
The embassy staff was also very happy.
Although they are the busiest, it is all worth it to receive praise from their fellow villagers and Mond people.
Only some people were unhappy.
That is the fools.
As the only two diplomatic missions in Mondstadt, they arrived earlier than the Liyue delegation.
But the influence is far less.
The Liyue Embassy first promoted a wine industry event, and even attracted many merchants from Zhidong.
Next up is the Lantern Festival, which is so lively.
It simply crushes the fools to the ground.
I want to cause some trouble for the Liyue Embassy.
But then they remembered their mission and could not come into conflict with the Liyue Embassy.
In the end, I could only go back to the hotel in a sullen mood.
He became even angrier when he thought about the fact that Mond had not even prepared an embassy for them and they had to rent a hotel.
Early the next morning,
Wang Hao was organizing people to clean up the Fruit Wine Lake.
We had a great time yesterday, but there was a lot of debris and garbage left behind, so naturally the embassy, as the organizer, has to clean up the mess.
This is also a question of attitude.
As they were talking, a Knight of Favonius walked in from outside.
"Your Excellency Ambassador, the Grand Master asks you to go to the Knights' Building to discuss matters."
The knight who came in said to Wang Hao.
"Looking for me? Did you say what it is?" Wang Hao was a little confused.
The knight shook his head: "The Grand Master did not say."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll change my clothes." Wang Hao nodded to the knight, then looked to the side, "Zhiyi, you'll be responsible for the finishing work at the Fruit Wine Lake, Shijie, you'll write the report on the Sea Lantern Festival, I'll go to the Knights."
"Okay, Your Excellency Ambassador." The two responded.
Wang Hao nodded, changed into a formal suit, and then went out with the knight and rushed to the Knights Building.
To the Knights,
There are already quite a few people here.
Moreover, there seemed to be no ordinary people coming here to do business today.
They were all Knights of Favonius, and some people dressed as priests and nuns.
"Hey, Wang Hao is here, come here quickly, we've been waiting for you."
"Hmm? What happened? Grand Master?"
Wang Hao walked to Farga, sat down and asked.
"Haha, it's nothing serious, there's just something I need to notify you about in advance."
Falga smiled, then looked to the other side: "Qin."
"exist."
The blond Dandelion Knight stood up, looking heroic.
"Ambassador Wang Hao, from now on you can communicate with Qin about some of the work of your embassy." Farga said.
【Oh, the Great Expedition is coming? 】
[It should be about to start. 】
[Is the timeline correct? ]
[Don't worry about the timeline, everything in Teyvat is a mess. 】
【All right…】
【…】
The comments were full of speculation.
Wang Hao also showed a puzzled expression appropriately.
"Haha, don't be confused. Qin is the Dandelion Knight and the future Lion's Fang. I am training her now." Falga said with a smile.
Wang Hao was speechless. This excuse was really bad.
Who would train the next generation of successors when they are in their prime?
And it is this kind of training that outsources government affairs.
Looking at Wang Hao's speechless eyes, Falga scratched his head: "Is the excuse very poor?"
Beside him, the Alder Knight nodded: "Very bad."
Simon sat in the seat representing the West Wind Church and said nothing, but his meaning was clear.
Falgar was not embarrassed and smiled: "Ah ha, then tell me the truth, Your Excellency Ambassador, do you know the Great Crusade in Mondstadt's history?"
The Greatest Crusade in Mondstadt's history.
As Liyue's ambassador to Mondstadt, knowing Mondstadt's history is a basic skill.
Many Mond people were not aware of that great expedition, but Wang Hao did know about it.
Five hundred years ago,
Alendrin launched the Great Crusade to the North.
This great expedition also resulted in Mondcheng being extremely lacking in resistance when the dragon Durin arrived.
Later the expedition seemed to have failed.
There are no more accurate records in the library.
"Are you talking about Alan Delin's expedition?" Wang Hao asked.
Falga nodded immediately: "Yes, it is the unfinished expedition."
After a pause, he continued, "Five hundred years have passed. It is time for us to complete the unfinished expedition."
Wang Hao pursed his lips and said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Grand Commander. Given the current international situation, if you leave Mondstadt and even take away most of the forces, Mondstadt's defense will be extremely empty."
"Haha, so that's why I asked you to connect with Jean." Falga smiled and held up a finger. "One year. The expedition team will set off in one year. This year is time for Jean to grow."
After a pause, he looked at Wang Hao and said, "This is also time for you, Ambassador, to consider."
Wang Hao's expression became serious. He knew that the key moment was coming.
"Ambassador is a great representative of Liyue's attitude in Mondstadt. Your words carry a lot of weight. I hope that after I leave, Ambassador can help Qin when necessary."
At this point, Falga's expression darkened slightly. "The Fatui, this is an unstable factor, but due to the status of the delegation, I cannot expel them. After I leave, they will definitely find a chance to cause trouble."
"Captain, do you want me to step in and stop the Fatui?" Wang Hao asked calmly.
Farga shook her head and said, "That's not necessary. Once you show up, you will be exposed. I just hope that you can help me when necessary. Qin can handle ordinary difficulties."
At the side, Dandelion Knight's expression became more serious.
"Hmm...I see. I understand."
Wang Hao had a blank expression on his face, revealing no emotion. In fact, he had already talked about this with Diluk at the Dawn Winery, but he certainly couldn't tell Falga.
"If there really are any huge difficulties, then as a friendly country of Mondstadt, Liyue will naturally not stand idly by."
This is already a statement.
"Thank you very much. In return, we will reduce the commercial taxes on some Liyue goods."
Farga did not say anything about giving Wang Hao any personal benefits.
Instead, he talked about the commercial taxes on Liyue goods.
This is to remember the favor to Liyue.
And Wang Hao just fell for it.
"That's naturally the best thing."
