Chapter 50 Bishop Simon Page of West Wind
As Diluc announced the start of the banquet, the atmosphere of the banquet was pushed to its climax.
Servants filed in, bringing wine and food to the scene.
Compared with the guests, they couldn't enjoy themselves. Fortunately, after the banquet, Mr. Diluc would give them enough time to have a private party, which also made them full of energy.
Moreover, even the head maid Adeline, who usually doesn't appear much, came out in person to take control of the scene.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but the head maid named Aedlin looks very similar to Catherine from the Adventurers Association.
It’s terrifying to think about it.
"Long time no see, Master Diluc, what a nice dinner. Oh... no, I should call you master now, after all, Cripps is no longer here, hahaha."
"..."
Cripps is Diluc's father.
Krober's words and deeds simply added fuel to the fire. Even Diluc, who had a slight smile on his face, now looked unhappy.
Because according to his investigation, his father's death had something to do with the Fools and this Clobber.
In the three years after his father's death, he continued to send invitations to Krober, just to get some information from him about the situation back then.
"Is your bishop also here for this dinner? I have something to ask him about, so bring him to see me!"
If Krober came here alone, he would naturally not dare to be so arrogant.
Because the bishop of the West Wind Church is not someone who can be dispatched arbitrarily by a small role like him.
That was one of the highest-ranking people in Mondstadt.
"If you have the confidence to be rude because of the fools, then I will throw you out to feed slimes as the owner of Dawn Winery, Mr. Krober."
Diluc's ruby-like eyes already contained a hint of sullenness. However, despite his anger, he also maintained some sense. At least he did not do these things in Mond's name.
The cold eyes made Krober instantly lose his previous arrogance.
"Of course...it's not that I want to see Bishop Simon."
Considering the direct gap between himself and Diluc, as well as the other party's financial resources, Krober finally gave up.
He gave up his seat and introduced Bai Luo.
"Young Master Diluc, please allow me to formally introduce you. This is the guardian of the entire continent - one of the twelve executive officers of [The Fools], Mr. Instructor."
With Krober's character, he would definitely name a lot of names to brag about.
It's a pity that Bai Luo did some shady things before becoming an executive.
After becoming an executive, he did not perform any feats that shocked the mainland.
The only thing that can be used... is actually the title of Executive Officer of the Fools.
But this name is enough for Mondstadt to take it seriously.
"What a pleasure to meet you."
Frowning slightly, Diluc looked at Bai Luo again, already full of vigilance.
Although he is far away in Mondstadt, he knows more about the instructor than Krober.
At the same time, he also understood that having such a character staying in Mondstadt would be a disaster for Mondstadt.
If he wants to take action against someone high up...
The consequences are disastrous.
"No need to bother the owner, Mr. Clobber."
Just when Diluc was hesitating whether to let the bishop meet such a dangerous person, Simon Page, the supreme bishop of the West Wind Church, who was known as the "Cardinal of Dawn", had already walked through the crowd.
Yes, his last name is Page.
By the way, his two daughters are named Jean and Barbara.
As the bishop of the West Wind Church, Simon was naturally on Diluc's invitation list.
"bishop."
Frowning slightly, Diluc cast a questioning look.
But Simon just shook his head slightly, indicating that everything could be left to him.
As the bishop of the West Wind Church, he is not so weak that he needs the protection of a winery owner.
"I have long heard that the Fools have appointed a new twelfth executive officer. It is a great honor to meet him today. Unfortunately, I cannot overshadow Master Diluc's banquet. Otherwise, I will treat him well and give him generous gifts."
"A generous...gift?"
Hearing this word, Krober couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The gift given by the leader of a religion must be worth a lot of money, right?
"You are serious. Among the executives, I am also the most insignificant one."
Bai Luo bowed slightly and said, "It's just a winter etiquette."
And his attitude not only did not make Diluc and Simon relax, but made them vigilant.
Just like what Alice once said: When a madman knows how to stay elegant, he will become extremely scary.
In their minds, Bai Luo's danger has increased more than a little bit again.
"The instructor is here in person, so he must have something important to discuss. But the banquet said that this would disturb the enjoyment of others, so why not borrow a convenient place from the owner of the village..."
Pushing up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, Simon looked at Diluc next to him.
But before Diluc could speak, Bai Luo spoke first.
"Bishop Simon, Master Diluc, you seem to have misunderstood something."
Bai Luo casually picked up a glass of wine from the table next to him and said with a smile.
"I came to Mondstadt this time to participate in the badminton festival. I came to the banquet purely for pleasure, and there was nothing important to discuss at all. Well... the one who really wants to find you should be Klober.
.”
Diluc: "..."
Simon: "..."
Krober: "???"
Damn it! He sold me!
After Bai Luo expressed his attitude, Krober's legs almost gave way.
He was used to being intimidated by others, but the main reason why he could remain elegant in front of Diluc and Simon was because he had Bai Luo behind him.
As a result, Bai Luo didn't give him any face.
"Teach...Instructor, mission! Don't forget the doctor's mission!"
Krober quickly got in front of Bai Luo and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
In fact, he just wanted to use his reputation as a doctor to overwhelm the other party.
"I know, but I have other tasks, and the doctor didn't ask me to cooperate with you in the task before I came here, or... do you want to order me?"
When Bai Luo said the last sentence, there was already a slight murderous look in his eyes.
If he didn't want to be embarrassed, Krober would have been so frightened by this look that he wet his pants.
"Thank you again for the invitation, Mr. Diluc. You can continue to talk. Don't pay attention to me, just treat me as an ordinary guest."
Bai Luo waved his hand casually, holding the wine in his hand, and re-entered the banquet.
And he had already set his sights on a target, which was a knight who was drinking alone in a corner and not many people seemed willing to talk to her.
After Bai Luo left, Simon breathed a sigh of relief.
If you stay with a fool and an executive, especially an executive who is good at assassination, you will be lying if you say you are not afraid.
Now that that guy has left, isn't the remaining Klobo left to their liking?
"Mr. Krober, I heard that you have something to do with me? Please, let's go to the meeting room prepared by Mr. Diluc to discuss it in detail."
Adjusting his glasses, a confident smile appeared on Simon's face again.
On the other hand, Klober...
Chapter completed!
