The mist-like moonlight is shining down, drifting in through the exquisitely crafted windows of Chenxi Winery, just like the lightest and most beautiful fallen leaf in autumn, without any trace and with such a cool arc.

"Apple wine? Or dandelion wine?"

Unlike Bai Luo, Diluc rarely smiled. When he didn't speak, his lips were pressed into a tight line, showing a stubborn and tenacious look.

"Apple brew, preferably the non-alcoholic one. I have one here that is not suitable for drinking."

Bai Luo always had that kind of gentle smile on his lips. He looked at Ji Ana behind him, making it hard to tell whether his smile was real or fake.

Diluc thought that he had been dealing with Bai Luo for long enough, but even he couldn't tell the deep meaning behind the other person's smile.

"You already know about Tevalin, right?"

Diluc asked after skillfully pouring a cup of apple juice to Bai Luo and Jiana.

He still doesn't know what happened between Bai Luo and Abyss in the Whispering Forest that day, but he knows very well that Bai Luo must have had some kind of conflict with Abyss.

Tevarin is most likely the key to the conflict.

"You want to blame me for not telling you in advance?"

The fragrance of stuffed apples penetrated Bai Luo's nose. He shook the cup in his hand and asked with interest.

Whether it's a drink or milk, as long as it's in his hands, he can drink it like no one else can.

"No, actually you didn't know the true identity of Feng Molong at first, right?"

He poured himself a glass of grape juice and looked at the other party's puzzled expression. This made Diluc feel for the first time that he had finally defeated the other party.

"Don't worry, the bard didn't tell me. He is still in a comatose state. I just guessed the answer through your behavior."

"..."

That's a good guess. Please don't speculate next time.

Bai Luo didn't know what Diluc had speculated about, but judging from the fact that he hadn't discovered that the bard was actually Tobabas, his speculations probably went astray to his grandma's house.

But Bai Luo's strange expression made Diluc confirm his suspicion even more.

After drinking the grape juice in his hand, he asked Bai Luo.

"Want to cooperate?"

cooperate?

Bai Luo's expression became even more subtle.

To be fair, he often seeks out cooperation from others, but this is the first time someone has taken the initiative to approach him.

"Are you sure you want to cooperate with the Fools?"

"Don't compare me with the Knights. I'm just the owner of a winery. Whether I cooperate with any organization has nothing to do with the Knights' position."

Before dawn comes, someone must find the way in the darkness.

There is no doubt that Diluc is the night owl who walks alone in the long night.

Diluc also thought about whether to cooperate with Bai Luo for a long time.

After all, Bai Luo had tricked him once before.

But under the current circumstances, it seems that the only one who can fight against the abyss with him is this instructor.

Judging from the intelligence he collected, this executive is very different from other executives in the Fools. Every one of his actions is elusive, but in the end it always plays a role at critical moments.

Most importantly, among a group of executives gathered together for various purposes, he is an odd flower.

Because he never cares about the consequences of his actions, this also makes his thinking difficult for people to understand clearly.

After all...a person who doesn't care about the results at all has no way of judging his purpose.

Maybe you tried your best to disrupt his plan, but found that the chaotic plan made him feel more happy.

Therefore, if you cooperate with him, the chances of success and failure are 50-50.

Or he finds it interesting and helps you complete your plan.

Either he thinks it would be more fun to let the plan fail, and betrays you midway to help your goals.

Diluc has a deep understanding of this.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

You must know that when he first dealt with him in Mondstadt, he helped the Fools place mechanical birds that could drive monsters crazy around Mondstadt, while also reporting to them.

He also said the famous saying, "I have a clear distinction between public and private affairs. There seems to be no conflict between setting up these traps for the mission and telling you the locations of these traps to save this child, right?"

Although Bai Luo was already in a hostile relationship with Abyss, Diluc was not sure whether this guy would turn around and help Abyss.

But he decided to take a gamble.

He has faced many choices in his life.

For him, a fifty percent chance was worth the risk.

"Let's talk about the cooperation method first."

It has to be said that Diluc's behavior really aroused Bai Luo's interest.

He looked at Jiana beside him, who glanced at Diluc grape juice from time to time, and asked aloud.

"I don't expect you to tell me what kind of deal you have with Abyss. I just hope that you won't take action against Mond before the problem of Abyss is solved."

Investigating the matter of Tvarin and the Abyss means that Diluc must leave Mondstadt.

But with Bai Luo as a time bomb in the city, how could he leave peacefully?

"And what's the price?"

Take a sip of the stuffed apple in your hand.

Hmm... the slight sourness can be called sweet compared to the sunflower seeds.

No wonder Barbasto likes this thing so much.

"You can mention it casually, even if you ask me to give up some of my interests in the wine industry, it's not impossible."

Diluc knew very well that when dealing with people like Bai Luo, the so-called money and power were of no use.

It's better to let them make their own requests.

Doing so may improve the success rate of cooperation between the two.

"Hmm...how about a bucket of good grape juice?"

After drinking down the apple juice in his hand, Bai Luo offered a price for Diluc to be distracted for a moment.

"Grape juice?"

What does it mean? Does it refer to the industries related to Mondstadt and grape juice? Or does it mean wine?

It's not impossible, but in Mondstadt, it seems that the wine business will be better, right?

All the income from grape juice cannot even catch up to 1% of the profits of the wine industry.

After all, in the entire city of Mondstadt, except for him, few people were interested in grape juice.

Even some children prefer apple juice and sunset juice.

"That's right, this is what you drink. Give me a bucket and I will promise you."

Bai Luo pointed at the grape juice that Diluc had casually placed beside him and said aloud.

"You mean...just a bucket of grape juice and nothing else?"

This time, Diluc finally reacted.
