Chapter 100 Debt Transfer
Mondstadt, the gift of angels.
When Chen Tianfeng entered the tavern, it was nearly an hour before the time he, Eula and Kaia agreed to meet.
This was the second time the three of them had met.
Chen Tianfeng and Kaia agreed to meet, naturally they had their own ulterior motives, but Eula was different, she felt that drinking alone was too boring. After learning her last name, other Mondstadt people avoided her even when drinking in the same tavern, not to mention drinking at the same table with her.
This also made Eula's surroundings always empty when she drank. It was quiet, but boring - no one wanted to drink alone under the strange eyes of others.
Chen Tianfeng didn't care about the last name Lawrence, and Kaia didn't care either, so the three of them became drinking buddies.
For Mondstadt people, good wine and freedom should be equally important, so even during the dragon disaster, the gift of angels still had no shortage of guests.
Anyway, the dragon disaster and storm did not enter the city, and the trade route for transporting alcohol was not affected too much, so life had to go on, and the alcohol could not stop.
Diluk stood behind the bar, wiping the glasses that seemed to never be finished. His expressionless face scared away many drinkers, who all consciously and tacitly looked for the bartender Charles to place orders for drinks.
"Long time no see."
Chen Tianfeng greeted him and sat down on the high stool in front of the bar. He glanced at Charles who was playing with the cocktail shaker, then retracted his gaze and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Mr. Diluk, are you experiencing life?"
"Yes, staying in the tavern occasionally can make my thoughts smoother."
Diluk answered casually and continued to wipe the cup: "Long time no see, I heard that Mr. Chen accepted the commission of the Knights some time ago. How do you feel?"
"Not bad, but the Knights have been short of funds recently, and they only gave me half of the promised reward. I don't know when I can get the remaining half."
"Oh?"
Diluk finally put down his cup and looked up at Chen Tianfeng: "Has the Knights declined to this extent?"
Isn't it a bit too embarrassing that they can even delay wages?
"Well, that's not the case. My reward is difficult to get. The Knights have tried their best."
Chen Tianfeng waved his hand and said casually: "Captain Kaeya promised that he would give me this reward the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"Kaeya..." Diluk narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since this guy can come forward, it seems that the reward Mr. Chen wants is really not something easy to get. I'm a little curious, can Mr. Chen tell me what the reward is?"
"Of course, this is not something worth keeping secret."
Chen Tianfeng smiled and said: "When persuading me to take the commission, Captain Kaeya promised that he would give me 30 barrels of the best quality dandelion wine newly brewed by Dawn Winery on top of the original reward."
"..."
Diluk paused and his voice sank slightly: "Until now, Dawn Winery has not received any wine orders from Kaeya."
So how does Kaeya plan to get those 30 barrels of dandelion wine?
Diluk speculated on several possibilities based on his stereotype of Kaeya, and successfully made this stereotype even more stereotyped and unbearable.
"This... maybe Captain Kaeya asked someone else to do it?" Chen Tianfeng hesitated: "Captain Kaeya will never default on his payment, not to mention..."
"What's more?"
"What's more, Captain Kaeya promised that if he was overdue, he would be abstaining from alcohol for one day for each day he was overdue before the payment was settled."
"Did he really say that?"
"Of course, I still have his IOU here."
Chen Tianfeng took out the IOU, put it on the bar, and pushed it to Diluk: "Although I have only been in Mondstadt for a short time, I think such a promise is a must for Mondstadt people who love fine wine, right?"
The last time they drank, Chen Tianfeng asked Kaeya to sign this IOU for various reasons - thanks to Captain Eula's unintentional assistance, otherwise Kaeya would not have signed such a thing so easily.
"Maybe."
Diluk picked up the IOU and glanced at it. After confirming its authenticity, he thought for a moment and put it down without giving it back to Chen Tianfeng: "Mr. Chen, can we make a deal?"
"Go ahead."
"Pass this bill to me."
Diluk tapped the IOU with his fingers. Without waiting for Chen Tianfeng to show an embarrassed look, he calmly said: "I can give you sixty barrels of the best quality dandelion wine newly brewed by Dawn Winery."
"Deal!"
Chen Tianfeng stretched out his hand and smiled: "Happy cooperation, Mr. Diluk."
"Happy cooperation."
Diluk stretched out his hand and shook it, saying: "If Mr. Chen has not changed his residence, the staff of Dawn Winery will deliver the dandelion wine by tomorrow evening at the latest."
"No change, thank you Mr. Diluk."
"You're welcome."
Diluk drafted two debt transfer commitment letters, and Chen Tianfeng happily signed his name.
Diluk carefully put away the IOU and the letter of commitment, and then he noticed the arm armor on Chen Tianfeng's left arm, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What is this...?"
"Oh, it's the one that Mr. Diluk sent." Chen Tianfeng raised his left hand, clenched his fist lightly, and smiled: "My friend made some modifications to it, so it looks a little different."
"Can I take a look?"
"Of course."
Chen Tianfeng nodded and took off the arm armor.
"Thank you."
Diluk took the arm armor, turned it over carefully, and ran his fingers over the streamlined outer shell of the black arm armor. The elemental force surged slightly, and he knew the function of the arm armor.
Then he fell silent.
It wasn't that the transformation was bad, but that it was too good. It was so good that he thought the West Wind Church took his Mora and only gave him a shoddy product.
If he hadn't known the West Wind Church well and had a few similar equipment on him, he would really think that he was deceived by the West Wind Church.
Diluk pursed his lips and returned the arm armor to Chen Tianfeng: "Mr. Chen, I wonder if your friend, this master, is willing to accept some equipment transformation commissions? Don't worry, Mora is not a problem."
"I'm afraid not." Chen Tianfeng shook his head and sighed: "My friend is very lazy. It's probably harder to ask him to work than to kill him."
"Is that so... Masters will have some quirks, which is understandable." Diluk nodded, without forcing: "What do you plan to drink, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Tianfeng was about to answer when a voice with a slightly doubtful and uncertain tone came from the side.
"Brother Chen?"
Chen Tianfeng turned his head to look in the direction of the voice, recognized the person, and smiled: "Uncle Tolansi."
"It's really you, Brother Chen!"
Tolansi was quite surprised, stepped forward and patted Chen Tianfeng on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "It's been a long time! Long time no see!"
"It's been a long time, how is Uncle Tolansi doing recently?"
"It's still the same. Affected by the dragon disaster, the adventure team has fewer commissions and more troubles, but fortunately, they all passed without any danger."
Tolansi waved his hand and immediately invited warmly: "Since we meet, let's have a drink together, I'll buy!"
Seeing Chen Tianfeng's gaze, Diluk nodded slightly, and said before he spoke: "Mr. Chen, please feel free to do whatever you want, don't worry."
