Chapter 308

"Okay."

Gu Chen picked up the quill, dipped it in ink, and started copying. Soon, the promotion appointment was written and handed to Varka.

Varka took a look, saw there was no problem, and signed his name, then said: "Let's go, announce this good news."

Morning.

Varka gathered the knights who had no missions and officially announced the appointment of Gu Chen.

"In view of the Morning Star Knight's outstanding contribution to protecting Mondstadt... I now officially appoint Morning Star Knight Gu Chen to the position of Vice Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius!"

As Varka announced it, the applause at the scene was like thunder.

Four years passed, some old faces left, new faces arrived, but undoubtedly, Gu Chen's status had never declined, and had even been increasing.

"Now, the latest appointment will be announced by Vice Grand Master Morning Star Knight." Varka said.

Gu Chen was right there, stepped forward and said: "Diluc!"

"Here!"

Diluc in the square immediately stepped forward, with faint confusion in his eyes, and only after realizing something did he become faintly excited.

Gu Chen said quite a few of Diluc's deeds, and finally said: "Now, officially appoint Diluc as Cavalry Captain!"

Diluc widened his eyes in disbelief.

The cavalry is the most powerful team in the Knights.

It is the elite of the elite in the Knights, and he is now going to become the leader of this strongest team?!

Diluc was extremely excited and felt incredible.

"I hope you will continue to work hard and not let everyone down." Gu Chen encouraged him with a few words.

"Yes!" Diluc responded loudly.

Varka stood back up, announced the latest training plan, and encouraged everyone before dismissing the meeting.

Just as he returned to the Grand Master's office, Gu Chen saw the gifts on the desk.

Varka said: "Pick them up, let's go to the Gunnhildr family."

"Are we going to trick my future assistant?" Gu Chen took the gifts with a smile.

"What kind of talk is that?"

Varka said seriously: "It is a sincere invitation to capable people to join the Knights and build Mondstadt."

No wonder you are the Grand Master, you understand the art of speaking.

Gu Chen muttered to himself, picked up the gifts, and followed Varka.

Having been in Mondstadt for so many years, Gu Chen was becoming more and more familiar with this country.

The Lawrence family of the Three Aristocratic Families had gradually declined in history, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

And the Gunnhildr family had continued, always strong, because they remembered their oath to protect Mondstadt forever.

The Ragnvindr family controlled the economic lifeline of Mondstadt. From the idea of the family head Crepus wanting to become a knight, they stood on the same side as the Gunnhildr family.

All the way to the wide wealthy district.

In Mondstadt City, this was a rare and huge manor, but the area it occupied was not too exaggerated.

"The Lawrence family's manor was obtained through plunder, while the Gunnhildr family's manor is their honor." Varka laughed.

Gu Chen nodded.

Along the wide road, they arrived at the gate of the manor. Standing on both sides of the gate were members of the Gunnhildr family, who were clansmen and also knights.

"Grand Master! Chief Instructor!" The knights saluted.

"The Chief Instructor is now the Vice Grand Master." Varka reminded with a smile.

The knights were stunned and hurriedly changed their words: "Vice Grand Master!"

"We are here to visit Lady Frederica." Varka said.

The knight nodded and apologized: "Please wait a moment, allow me to report to the Lady."

"Go ahead." Varka nodded.

A moment later, a woman with slightly curly blonde hair and a gorgeous long dress walked over slowly.

Her steps were noble and elegant, and wearing a long dress, she also gave people a sense of crispness and neatness like a knight.

She is Jean's mother—Frederica Gunnhildr!

—[The Otaku Praying for the World's Favor][

"Grand Master Varka." Frederica saluted, her gaze falling on Gu Chen.

She had already heard from the reporting knight that this young Chief Instructor of the Knights of Favonius had been promoted to the position of Deputy Grand Master.

Only twelve years old and already in the high level of Mondstadt!

This made Frederica's gaze at Gu Chen full of appreciation.

"Lady Frederica, it's been a long time. It wouldn't be a bother to visit uninvited, would it?" Varka seemed to be somewhat familiar with her, speaking with teasing.

"How could it be?" Frederica reached out with a smile, "Please."

Walking into the Gunnhildr family manor, they soon arrived inside the manor.

The Gunnhildr family was not as rich as the Ragnvindr family, nor did they control power as tightly as the Lawrence family.

The decoration inside the house did not look magnificent, but rather gave people a sense of history.

As a family that had been protecting Mondstadt since the day the first epic of Mondstadt was written, this sense of history was their pride.

Everyone took their seats.

After chatting about the recent situation for a while, Varka said, "Lady, shouldn't the children of this generation of the Gunnhildr family be sent to the Knights?"

Frederica was stunned when she heard this, and then laughed, "For such a small matter, the Grand Master came in person?"

The Gunnhildr family has many knights. To avoid suspicion, this family rarely participates in the internal affairs of the Knights, and there is a feeling of living in seclusion in the city.

Therefore, for some recent situations of the Knights, Frederica could only rely on some knights within the clan to tell her.

"Is the Knights so short of manpower now?" Frederica asked with some surprise.

"That's not it."

Varka knew she had misunderstood, so he waved his hand immediately, and then said with a full face of smiles, "What do you think of my Deputy Grand Master?"

Frederica turned to look at Gu Chen.

Young, steady, and upon careful inspection, he gave people a feeling of a crouching tiger.

Frederica nodded secretly and then said, "At the age of only twelve, serving as Deputy Grand Master, he is already a legend among legends!"

"Lady, you flatter me." Gu Chen nodded in greeting.

Varka smiled and said, "Twelve years old serving as Deputy Grand Master, and the captain of the Cavalry Company is also a twelve-year-old little guy."

"Lady, the Knights are becoming young and full of power, so we need more fresh blood to support this Knights that is already in a middle-aged state to return to a young appearance. Do you understand?" Varka said earnestly.

Frederica began to think.

Varka's meaning in his words was telling her that the current Knights were becoming young.

Because the high level of the Knights already had many young faces, and they were excessively young!

Frederica laughed, "So you set your sights on the young seedlings in my family?"

"Of course!"

Varka nodded without hesitation, and then asked, "You certainly wouldn't be reluctant, right?"

Frederica said helplessly, "I originally wanted to let them train for two more years before letting them be admitted to the Knights. Are you a bit too eager? Will being too young affect the operation of the Knights?"

Varka knew that Frederica had already agreed.

She had no reason to object.

After hearing her inquiry, Varka said seriously, "Lady, don't worry. Being too young doesn't matter. As long as the helmsman is mature and steady, there will be no problem!"

Frederica nodded slightly, and then said to the maid on the side, "Go call Jean over."

"Yes."

The maid left.

Varka smiled and probed, "I heard that Jean is the most excellent one in the young generation of your family?"

Speaking of Jean, Frederica said with pride, "That is of course!"

Not long after, the maid brought a little girl over.

As soon as she arrived here, the little girl saluted Frederica, "Mother."

Without Frederica's reminder, she very politely saluted Varka and Gu Chen, "Jean Gunnhildr pays her respects to the Grand Master and the Deputy Grand Master."
