Chapter 309

Young, polite, and with enough knightly demeanor, Varka nodded secretly, the smile on his face became more enthusiastic, and he hurriedly said: "What a good child!"

Gu Chen also looked at Jean seriously.

Before coming here, he had already heard Varka say that Jean was ten years old this year.

In her gray-purple eyes, there was respect for him and Varka. Her golden long hair with naturally curled ends was combed into a ponytail, with a butterfly knot tied at the back. Two strands of golden hair hung down naturally from both sides of her cheeks. Wearing a knight's uniform with white as the main tone on her young body, she really looked like a little knight.

Whether looking at her figure or etiquette, no flaws could be picked out.

She is truly worthy of being a girl cultivated by Frederica since childhood to be a successor to the chivalric code.

Gu Chen was looking at Jean, and Jean was also looking at Gu Chen.

Although she had always been in the family, she often heard about the deeds of this Vice Grand Master.

Becoming a formal knight at a young age, granted the title of knight at eight, and becoming the Chief Instructor of the Knights.

It is said that his strength is unfathomable, and at the same time, he is also a presence with dazzling achievements in the Knights.

At twelve, he achieved accomplishments that many people couldn't achieve at twenty or even thirty!

There was worship in the eyes of the young girl.

[Nilou]: Hehe! At the first meeting, Miss Jean has already been attracted by Mr. Gu Chen, who is so excellent that he shines! (Good)

[Collei]: Little brother Gu Chen is so excellent that he shines all over. Miss Jean is still a little sister now. Both of them are knights, and the age gap is not big. It's too easy to just worship him directly! (Collei? Longing)

[Kirara]: Please fast-forward to "Mr. Idol Falls in Love with Me"! (Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry)

[Jean]: ...

[Barbara]: The worship in the eyes of the ten-year-old sister is really obvious... (Paimon? Surprised)

[Kaeya]: Normal. Diluc, who was promoted to Cavalry Captain at twelve, also has visible worship for the leader, let alone Jean, this little girl. (Funny)

[Amber]: Mr. Gu Chen was never like a brat since he was a child. He has always been strong and reliable. It is normal for such a boy to be attractive! Not to mention the dazzling achievements! (Worshipful star eyes)

[Miss Miss Keqing]: An analysis based on facts is completely understandable. Thinking from another perspective, even if it were me at this moment, I would definitely worship Mr. Gu Chen. The only strange thing is: we know Miss Jean after she grew up. (Covering face)

[Lisa]: Thinking of Jean after she grew up and comparing her with Jean in the video, it is normal to feel a bit subtle. (Smirking)

[Jean]: That, even if it is me now, I also think Mr. Gu Chen's contribution is very great, and he is an excellent knight to the extreme. (Jean? Praising)

[Azhdaha]: Sometimes, the gap between people is even greater than the gap between people and dogs!

[Kaeya]: Who are you pointing at? (Nahida? Pointing fingers)

[Osial]: Don't open a map cannon! Although I am a god, I also feel hurt! (Annoyed)

Varka looked at Jean and asked: "Are you willing to join the Knights of Favonius now?"

Jean turned to look at her mother.

Frederica said softly: "Mainly based on your own thoughts."

Jean turned to look at Varka upon hearing this, nodded with firmness on her still immature little face and said: "I am willing!"

"Good child!" Varka's smile became even brighter, and then, he looked at Frederica, joked with a smile: "This child is only ten years old. If I take her to the Knights now, will the Lady not resent me?"

"Grand Master doesn't need to test me. The Gunnhildr family exists to protect Mondstadt forever. Although she is young, she can also contribute to Mondstadt. Besides, does the Grand Master mean that after you take her away, she will never come back? Or will there be holidays?" Frederica asked back with a smile.

Varka nodded immediately: "Of course there will be holidays!"

"You're not in a hurry to leave, are you?" Frederica asked.

"Does the Lady want to keep us for lunch? That couldn't be better." Varka laughed.

Frederica smiled and gave a few instructions to the maid, then said: "Inviting the current Grand Master and Vice Grand Master to eat at home, I hope it won't change its flavor when it spreads out."

"Every Mondstadt person knows the family style of the Gunnhildr family, there will be no misunderstanding." Varka waved his hand, then said to Gu Chen: "Today, let's taste the lunch of a noble family."

Gu Chen nodded without saying much.

Time soon reached noon.

The lunch of the Gunnhildr family was not too luxurious, with both meat and vegetables, just the quantity was much more than that of an ordinary family.

After lunch, Varka and Gu Chen said goodbye, and incidentally took Jean and a group of the younger generation of the Gunnhildr family away.

Back to the Knights.

Varka said: "Jean, from today on, you will serve as the assistant to the Vice Grand Master. He will arrange the work for you."

Little Jean looked at Gu Chen, who was more than a head taller than her, and nodded heavily: "Yes!"

"You go and arrange Jean's accommodation, and take her to familiarize herself with the Knights." Varka arranged.

"Mmm."

Gu Chen nodded and left with Jean.

There are quite a few female knights in the Knights of Favonius. Gu Chen arranged a single dormitory room for Jean.

Although Jean is only ten, it is obvious that she can take good care of herself, and Gu Chen doesn't need to worry too much.

After familiarizing herself with the accommodation, perhaps she found that Gu Chen was not so serious along the way, so Jean mustered the courage to ask: "Lord Vice Grand Master, what will my work be in the future?"

Gu Chen slowed down his pace and replied: "Handling government affairs, as well as necessary knight training, etc."

"What if there is work I don't know how to handle?" Jean tensed her little face, a bit nervous.

Gu Chen stopped his pace, stood on the spot, pondered for a moment, and then spread his hands: "I don't know how to do many things either, I can't teach you, but it doesn't matter, just hand it over to Varka."

That indifferent attitude made Jean stunned.

She originally thought that if she didn't know how to do something, Gu Chen might guide her, but she didn't expect that he wouldn't know either, and even said bluntly to just hand it over to Varka.

The filter of the omnipotent idol seemed to have shattered.

"Relax, even gods have shortcomings in the world. If you don't know, ask; if you don't know, learn. As long as you are willing to ask for advice, you will always learn." Gu Chen comforted.

Jean nodded, feeling it made a lot of sense, and then asked: "Then Lord Vice Grand Master didn't learn to handle internal affairs?"

Just after asking, Jean anticipated that she had asked the wrong thing, and her little face tensed even more nervously.

"Good question."

Gu Chen said as a matter of course: "Because I don't want to learn, that's why you are serving as my assistant."

So that's how it is?

Jean suddenly realized.

Originally, Frederica's arrangement for her was to send her into the Knights after two more years of training. She didn't expect it to be two years ahead of schedule.

The reason lies in the fact that Lord Vice Grand Master doesn't want to handle government affairs?

"I understand, I will serve as your assistant well!" Jean nodded seriously with her little face.

"Mmm, I have high hopes for you." Gu Chen nodded.

Having been with Varka for a long time, his skill in tricking people had come up. Gu Chen could say some words that made people full of motivation at any time.

For a while, Jean was a bit dizzy. Being praised by Gu Chen like this, thoughts like the Knights couldn't do without her and she was very important to the Knights rose up, followed by excitement and agitation, only feeling that her blood was already burning.

This symptom was called being tricked into a limp by Gu Chen.

But Jean was indeed very happy. Protecting Mondstadt forever was not a slogan of the Gunnhildr family. This sentence required every member of the family to take action, and Jean would be no exception.

No matter what the work was, as long as it was beneficial to Mondstadt, Jean would do it.

And Gu Chen had a great influence on children like Jean.

Not just Jean, including children of this age and younger, regardless of whether their dream was to become a knight, Gu Chen was already a figure praised by parents and worshipped by children in Mondstadt City.

Being arranged to work by an idol, being praised by an idol, this excitement is hard to explain.

After familiarizing Jean with the Knights, Gu Chen took her to the office.

His original Chief Instructor's office had been changed to the Vice Grand Master's office.

"Okay!" Jean nodded.

"Let's go, you still have training."

This time period was exactly when the newcomers of the Knights were taking the exam to undergo new recruit training.

Even if Jean and the others had already received knight training, they couldn't skip this link, because since Gu Chen took office as Chief Instructor, trainee knights all had to learn basic body-refining techniques at this stage.

When Gu Chen brought Jean to the training ground, Diluc was also here.

"Vice Grand Master!" Diluc greeted.

"You are not leading the cavalry training but are here instead. Did your brother join the Knights?" Gu Chen was a bit surprised.

"Yes!" Diluc nodded with a smile, pointing to a boy in the distance wearing an eye patch and with dark skin.

Gu Chen nodded, then said: "Looks like a good seedling."

Diluc smiled and noticed Jean, asking: "Who is this?"

"My assistant." Gu Chen replied and then said: "Jean, join the team."

"Yes!"

Jean nodded and joined the new recruit team.
