Chapter 701: The Promise Fifty Years Ago
Before meeting Pendragon, Diluc once thought about what kind of person he was.
For example, a pot-bellied businessman, a traveler who has traveled a lot, or a handsome bard?
But when Adeline brought him over, he finally understood why his head maid thought he was worth meeting.
Although Pendragon has tried his best to appear as ordinary as possible, the nobility engraved in his bones cannot be concealed at all.
That is the temperament that people who have been in high positions all year round have.
Although his figure looks a little petite compared to his peers, and his slightly delicate face is softer than that of men, but just standing there makes people want to surrender. www.bǐqυgetν.

The most important thing was the gust of wind surrounding him. As an original god, he saw the existence of the Wind King's barrier. However, he did not see the Eye of God hanging on the other person's body.
Diluc was sure that the identity of the person calling himself Pendragon was definitely not simple.
"Mr. Diluc, I'm sorry to bother you."
The slightly deep voice seems to be speaking with a lowered throat, but it does not make people feel uncomfortable.
The voice that is neither humble nor arrogant gives people a feeling of extreme perseverance.
"You are serious. I asked my servants to prepare some drinks. If you don't mind, please go to the living room to talk."
After he finished speaking, Diluc realized something.
When facing this person, he subconsciously lowered his posture and began to use honorifics.
Usually when someone comes to visit, he will also use honorifics, but mostly to express his friendliness.
But this time, he truly showed his respect.
Just like when he first met Grand Commander Falga.
"You're welcome. I believe that not many people in the entire continent would dislike the wine at Chenxi Winery."
Under the leadership of Diluc, the two stepped on the red carpet embroidered with gold threads and walked into the living room.
Adeline, the head maid, opened the curtains in the living room one step ahead. The setting sun just cast its afterglow into the living room, giving the already luxurious house a different kind of charm.
The plain white curtains are paired with the leather sofa imported from Fontaine, plus the neatly arranged gold-rimmed red silk pillows. It is luxurious but not vulgar, elegant yet noble, giving people a sense of beauty both in terms of senses and vision.
An extremely enjoyable feeling.
"I wonder what the purpose of Mr. Pendragon's visit is?"
Although the other party acted very mature and stable, his appearance did not make him worthy of being called Mr.
If Diluc's judgment was not wrong, the other party was only about fifteen to seventeen years old, definitely not an adult.
So when he mentioned sir, he paused for a moment.
But... the person in front of him clearly didn't feel like a minor.
He even hesitated whether to offer him a drink or not.
"It's because of an agreement made fifty years ago."
After taking the wine from Adeline, Bai Luo drank it in one gulp and said loudly.
It has been said before that after changing professions, Bai Luo's character will be affected to a certain extent, and the profession of King Arthur also affected him.
He had never lied to begin with, but after being given the professional bonus of being known as the Knight among Knights and known as the King of Knights, he became even more reluctant to lie.
So he tried his best to choose something he could say.
"The agreement made fifty years ago?"
When Bai Luo told the story of the agreement made fifty years ago, the first thing Diluc thought of was his father, Krips Legenfend.
But considering that his father didn't seem to be that old fifty years ago, he looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.
"That's right, but it's not an agreement with the Legenfund family, but with Ms. Alice."
Bai Luo also saw Diluc's doubts, so he explained aloud.
But when he explained this, Diluc became even more confused.
"With all due respect, the Legenfund family and Ms. Alice don't have much interaction. If it was an agreement with her, why did they find my winery?"
Speaking of Alice, the first thing Diluc thought of was actually her daughter Keli.
It's not because of the threat she brought to Mondstadt, but because of what happened a few years ago.
That time, this naughty little girl broke into his family's orchard in order to catch crystal butterflies and made a mess on the grape trellis.
Diluc did not make things difficult for her. After giving her a few bottles of grape juice, he sent someone to send her back to Mondstadt.
After that, he received a letter from a woman named Alice.
At that time, he was in trouble because of his father's affairs.
It was precisely because of Alice's letter that he made a decision that could change his life, that is, to go out for a walk.
That sentence "May you taste good things in the wind that moves forward" has always been engraved in his heart.
"To put it simply, I want to take back the box of [Fifty Years Agreement] from Ms. Alice's heir as promised. If my information is correct, the heir is currently under considerable influence in Mondstadt.
Strict protection, if I approach rashly, I'm afraid there will be unnecessary trouble."
"Well...I probably understand what you mean."
Diluc was also considered a smart man. After listening to Bai Luo's words, he almost knew why the other party came to him.
If he guessed correctly, the so-called heir of Ms. Alice mentioned by the other party was Alice's daughter Keli.
Keli, this little guy, can be said to be the favorite of the entire West Wind Knights. Although the people in the Knights are more worried that people who approach her rashly will be accidentally injured by her, but as Bai Luo said, if
If a stranger tries to approach her, they will definitely be targeted by the knights.
Rather than saying that the other party was looking for Legenfend, it was better to say that they were looking for some more famous people in Mondstadt, and through them, they would contact the higher-ups of the Knights to resolve the matter.
Although it sounds a bit cumbersome, it is also the consistent style of the nobles.
They have always regarded these tedious processes as a tradition.
Diluc was very fortunate that his ancestors had eliminated these unnecessary traditions from family rules long ago, otherwise he would not mind doing things that went against the wishes of his ancestors.
"I understand. I will try to help you contact people from the Knights, but whether it succeeds or not is not up to me."
After thinking about everything, Diluc tentatively agreed to Bai Luo.
And it was time for him to meet Qin and the others.
"Don't worry, you only need to tell the heir [fifty-year agreement] and the box, and she will naturally understand what is going on."
Although Bai Luo's words did not completely dispel Diluc's doubts, they more or less made him lower his guard.
At that time, he only needs to bring the message to Keli for confirmation.
If Keli doesn't know these things, just put her in a solitary room without letting anyone see her.
