Chapter 59 Two People Who Appreciate Each Other
Mondstadt, Wangfeng Mountain.
The knights who had been running all the way stopped their steps, and their bodies were more or less stained with dust, no longer as bright and beautiful as when they set out.
"There are too many monsters in Mondstadt."
Chen Tianfeng handed the reins of the chestnut horse to a knight, thanked him, turned to look at Kaiya, and sighed: "On our way alone, we have encountered projection monsters and real monsters three or four times."
You have to know that they are not walking on a mountain path, but a wide official road. Even so, there are still too many hill people who seem to have no brains and will only say "ya!" when they see travelers, waving wooden sticks or carrying crossbows.
"Normal, the road we just took passes through the Whispering Forest, where there are many projected monsters, but the Knights have been cleaning them up, so it seems safe."
Kaia arranged for the knights to camp on the spot, and said with a smile: "This time we go to the Lookout Mountain to deal with the banditry, and the Whispering Forest route takes the least time, so we took on the task of cleaning up the monsters."
"This is different from what we agreed, Mr. Kaia"
"Mr. Chen, please rest assured that the Knights can pay more."
"Captain Kaia really cares about the people of Mondstadt, which is admirable."
Chen Tianfeng nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the knights who were busy taking care of the horses, cleaning the camp, collecting firewood to build stoves and set up tents, and looked up at the sky: "It seems a little early to set up camp today , are we going to arrive?"
"Yes, at our speed, we will reach the camp of the guerrilla squad stationed in Wangfeng Mountain by noon tomorrow. They also discovered the banditry this time."
Kaiya replied: "It just so happens that there is a small river nearby, so I thought of letting the brothers clean themselves up and rest for a while, so that after joining the guerrilla squad, they will not look like reinforcements, but like a tired army that has lost its combat effectiveness."
"Captain Kaiya is really thoughtful."
Chen Tianfeng never hesitates to give free compliments, and then seems to think for a few seconds, and asks: "Guerrilla squad. If I remember correctly, the captain of the guerrilla squad should be the [Wave Knight], right?"
"Mr. Chen is well-informed." Kaiya also doesn't think compliments are worth anything.
"It is indeed this [Spray Knight]. Haha, I have heard of her deeds when I was in Liyue, but I have only heard of her. I wonder if Captain Eula is easy to get along with?"
"Mr. Chen, don't worry. Unlike other people in the Lawrence family, Captain Eula is an excellent knight. Mr. Chen can trust her as much as he trusts me and Master Diluk." Kaeya paused in the middle, obviously having a clear understanding of himself.
"I understand."
Chen Tianfeng nodded, as if he didn't notice Kaeya's pause: "Then this operation, will it be led by Captain Kaeya or Captain Eula?"
This kind of thing still needs to be asked clearly.
In a team, if the dominant power is unclear, it is easy to become a group of loose sand. Having numbers but no combat power is okay in a favorable battle, but if it encounters difficulties, it is likely to collapse at the touch of a button and be easily killed by the enemy.
Although these West Wind Knights are elite, even if they fight alone, they can cause considerable damage to the enemy, but the elite should not be wasted like this.
"Captain Eula is more familiar with the situation in Wangfeng Mountain, and is also familiar with the movements of those thieves and bandits. Let her lead the knights in the frontal attack."
Kaiya looked at Chen Tianfeng and said with a smile: "As for me and Mr. Chen, we will work harder and try to go deep behind the enemy or sneak into them to cause some trouble for these thieves."
"To be honest, I am better at frontal attacks." Chen Tianfeng said seriously: "And the person who taught me the swordsmanship once said that if you want to improve your swordsmanship, you need to experience some frontal fighting, and you can't just hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity to move."
It would be much better to follow the big team and go easy, why act alone and expose more things in front of Kaiya.
As for acting with Kaiya-it's better to act alone.
"The Knights can add money."
"Captain Kaia, don't force me. This is not about adding money."
"Double it."
"It's too dangerous to act alone. I really don't dare to take the risk."
"I can suggest to the Knights that the Knights' library be opened to Mr. Chen."
"Isn't the Favonius Library open to foreigners?"
"Of course it is open."
"Then?"
"Mr. Chen misunderstood. The [opening] I suggested to the Knights refers to those books that ordinary people cannot access."
"Captain Kaia, I have always abided by the law. These banned books"
"There are many books related to alchemy."
"To be honest, I have a lot of experience in acting alone. I am sure and confident that I can defeat the enemy from the inside. Captain Kaia, just rest assured." Chen Tianfeng smiled and stretched out his hand: "Happy cooperation, Captain Kaia."
Let's test it. With such a high price, not to mention testing, Chen Tianfeng is even willing to write a brief introduction of his own abilities to ensure that the credibility is as high as 10%.
"Happy cooperation."
Kaeya reached out and shook his hand, pretending to be concerned and said: "If I cannot participate in the direct battle and it has a great impact on Mr. Chen's swordsmanship, we can discuss it again."
"Well, it's just the progress of swordsmanship, it's not a big deal."
Chen Tianfeng waved his hand, not only did he not show any shame, but his expression was serious: "Although I am a Liyue person, I am also willing to contribute my own little strength to the peace of Mondstadt."
The two smiled at each other, and they both felt a sense of mutual appreciation.
Soon, the campfire was lit, and dozens of tents were set up. These West Wind Knights even used extra branches to make a simple fence around the temporary camp.
Chen Tianfeng rolled up his sleeves and blended in with the knights in charge of cooking. In a harmonious and warm atmosphere, just like the previous few days, he taught the cooking experience while finishing today's dinner with the knights.
Kaiya glanced at Chen Tianfeng and found it particularly interesting. I don't know what Chen Tianfeng has experienced. When traveling in the wild, he always has to participate in the preparation of meals, as if he is afraid of being poisoned.
Or maybe he habitually wants to control the work that facilitates poisoning.
Kaiya smiled and shook his head, not caring too much. With the West Wind Knights around, Chen Tianfeng would not have the opportunity to add some strange things to the food. If he wants to participate, then let him participate. It just so happens that his cooking skills are really good.
After eating, Kaia washed off the dust with river water, arranged for the knights to take turns to watch the night, greeted Chen Tianfeng, and went into the tent on the left side of the camp - the tent in the middle of the camp was naturally empty.
Chen Tianfeng entered his tent, sat cross-legged, and placed his long sword across his legs. His eyes seemed to penetrate the tent and look in a certain direction.
There was something there that attracted him.
Chen Tianfeng's eyes flickered, thinking about what it was that made his instincts stir, hungry, and salivating.
Maybe this was the surprise that Wendy said. Something good that could make him "have a good meal".
In the dark, Chen Tianfeng licked his lips, his eyes were particularly hot.
