Chapter 296: A Trip to Mondstadt
Xiangling didn't need to describe what happened next, Gu Chen had basically guessed it.
He looked at the quiet Shen He and asked:
"So, after you posted this commission in the Adventurer's Association, Shen He happened to come to the Adventurer's Association and just happened to receive your commission?"
Xiangling nodded with a smile:
“That’s it!
Hehe, Miss Catherine, who is responsible for issuing commissions, also thinks it’s a coincidence!
She said that Shen He is very capable and there is no one more suitable to accept my commission than her!
So, I'll leave my commission to Sister Shen He!
Because this time we are going to Longji Snow Mountain, which is a long journey.
Before going out to carry out the commission, Sister Shen He said she wanted to come back to pack her belongings, so I followed her.
That's it! "
Hearing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but ask:
"Then Xiangling, why didn't you go home and pack your belongings? Or have you already packed them?"
When this question was brought up, Xiangling looked a little proud:
"Hehe, I haven't had time to clean up yet.
But don't worry, we split up into two groups, and Guoba has already returned to Wanmin Hall to help me pack up.
We'll meet at the gate of Liyue Harbor later!"
Gu Chen's expression was a little bit unbearable.
I was wondering why Guoba wasn't with you? After all this fuss, he went to do this!
By the way, is this how rice crust is used?
Learned a lot.
After thinking about it, Gu Chen made a brief summary:
"So, your goal this time is to find the Great Snow Pig King in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain?
Ok……
This task is a bit difficult, but you two should have no problem working together.
I'm not worried about the Snow Pig King. That guy is pretty strong, but he's no match for Shen He.
I'm worried about whether you two can take care of yourselves. After all, the environment in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain is extremely harsh."
Xiangling patted her chest confidently:
"Don't worry, I've been to the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain before, so I'm familiar with the environment there."
That's true, but I still worry when I should.
With this worry, Gu Chen couldn't help but look at Xianyun and Grandma Ping.
Sure enough, the two of them were not particularly confident about their apprentice, but they didn't know how to express their worry, so they sat there hesitantly.
Upon discovering this, Gu Chen sighed:
"Forget it, I haven't been out for a while.
I'll accompany you two on this trip to the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain."
Shen He was a little caught off guard:
"Gu Chen, you... want to go with us?"
Xiangling also didn't expect:
"How could such a small matter disturb you?"
Slowly shaking his head, Gu Chen said:
"it's OK.
It just so happens that I will be going to Mondstadt in a few days.
Anyway, the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain is in Mondstadt, and our general direction is the same, so we might as well wait for the action with you a few days in advance.
If the trip to Dragonspine Snow Mountain goes smoothly, and if time permits, you two can come with me to Mondstadt."
Shen He and Xiang Ling looked at each other, and it was the lively Xiang Ling who asked:
"That's it.
But, Gu Chen, what are you doing in Mondstadt?"
Folding his arms, Gu Chen looked very calm:
“It’s not a big deal, but it’s not a small deal either.
In a few days, Mondstadt will celebrate the Windblume Festival.
The Windblume Festival is a relatively important festival in Mondstadt. I haven't been back to Mondstadt for a long time. This time I want to go back to celebrate the festival and meet old friends.
Of course, the above are just superficial reasons, another deeper reason is..."
"Yu?"
When mentioning this, Gu Chen's expression was a little subtle:
"A few days ago, I received a letter from the Knights of Favonius in Mond.
The letter said that on the occasion of the Festival of Flowers, in gratitude for my kindness and contributions to Mondstadt, the Knights of Favonius would like to grant me the position of Honorary Grand Master.
"Honorable...Grand Master?"
Xiangling and Shenhe looked at each other again.
After thinking for a while, Shen He remembered something:
"Oh, I remember you said you were a Knight of the Holy Light in the Mondstadt Knights of Favonius?"
Gu Chen nodded:
“Well, that’s what happened.
That was the position the Knights of Favonius gave me after I had just arrived in Mondstadt and helped Mondstadt solve some problems.
I thought it was okay at the time.
But after I got used to the position of Gou Chenxing in Liyue, I felt that the Holy Light Knight was a little underwhelming.
At this point, Xianyun also chimed in:
"It seems that the Knights of Favonius also think so.
Gu Chen, your influence is now extraordinary, and the mere Holy Light Knight is no longer worthy of you.
I'm afraid it's because of this that the Knights of Favonius took the opportunity of this Windblume Festival to invite you back and let you serve as the honorary grand commander again.
Is this considered… winning over? Or a gesture of goodwill?”
Gu Chen smiled and waved his hand:
“Although that’s certainly the case, there’s no need to think of them that way.
After all, they are my friends in Mondstadt."
Xianyun felt that he had said something out of turn, so he nodded and stopped talking.
Xiangling had another doubt:
"That's what happened.
But, so much time has passed, why didn’t the Knights of Favonius grant you, Gu Chen, the position of Honorary Grand Master earlier?
Isn't it a bit late to award it now? Doesn't it seem like an afterthought?"
Gu Chen shook his head slightly:
“You can’t think like that.
You should know that the one currently in charge of the Knights of Favonius is the acting leader Jean.
Although she has enough power, she is only the acting leader after all.
She still couldn't grant a position like Honorary Grand Master.
I guess that after making such a decision, Qin and the others should have rushed to pass the news to Falga, the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, and asked him to make the judgment.
After Farga agrees, I'll quickly pass the message back...
This back and forth took a lot of time.
Who allowed Fargar to lead the vast majority of the Knights of Favonius on an expedition?"
Xiangling suddenly realized:
"Oh, yes, that makes sense.
After all, it is the position of honorary grand commander.
Even if there is a word of honor, it is the Grand Master who decides, not the Acting Master."
After scratching her head and thinking for a while, Xiangling complained:
"Honorary Grand Captain... Hmm, I feel like he's still not as good as our Liyue's Gou Chenxing."
Gu Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing:
“There’s nothing we can do about it.
Liyue is my second home.
The people here, from the Rock King to the common people, all treat me as one of their own, so I feel more and more at ease with my position as the Gou Chen Star.
But Mond...
I'm sorry to say this, but compared to Liyue, Mondstadt is indeed a step further away, and the title of Grand Commander must be preceded by the word "honor."
