Chapter 316

Dottore's smile didn't fade, and he said: "I saw them, and cleared them out by the way."

"Oh~ That's good. It's really troublesome for you diplomatic envoys who have come from afar." Gu Chen raised an eyebrow, nodded, and turned around: "This is not a place to talk. Please this way."

"Good."

Gu Chen led the Fatui's team into the City of Mondstadt and began to arrange the accommodation for the Fatui envoys.

Everything was done according to the rules, without any impropriety.

[Arataki Itto]: Looking at it this way, the Fatui aren't completely bad, they even know how to help clear out Hilichurls!

[Kuki Shinobu]: Boss, you didn't see the deeper meaning, did you? (Sweat)

[Paimon]: Ha? Is there a deeper meaning? (Paimon? Surprised)

[Furina]: What does it mean? (Eyes clear)

[Arlecchino]: ...

[Neuvillette]: (Deep breath)

[Miss Miss Keqing]: The appearance of a Hilichurl Lawachurl on the main road of Mondstadt is clearly not a good signal, representing that the Knights are ineffective in clearing out monsters! The Fatui should intend to use this as an excuse to sarcastically imply that the Knights' strength is insufficient, and Mr. Gu Chen's answer was to scold the Fatui as monsters like Hilichurls!

[Furina]: Haha, same insight as mine!

[Neuvillette]: Miss Furina, how will the diplomacy between the two sides develop next?

Do you have to ask this question?!

Don't you know whether I can answer it?!

Furina didn't make a sound.

[Wriothesley]: On the surface, this is a communication, but everyone knows that this is a confrontation. There should be many more scenes of tit-for-tat later...

Knights of Favonius meeting room.

Both sides sat opposite each other.

Dottore spoke first: "I heard that the Knights have a method for strengthening the body. I don't know how it compares to our Snezhnayan warriors?"

Is this a martial arts competition?

Diluc's expression remained unchanged, but there was a confident light in his eyes.

"The acquisition of power has a price. Enduring the torture of pain for the sake of power is indeed a warrior."

Gu Chen said casually, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said: "Does Mr. Dottore want to let the Snezhnayan warriors compare with the knights?"

Dottore's smile didn't fade, and he nodded slightly: "Exactly."

Gu Chen asked: "What are the requirements?"

"Snezhnaya is cold and bitter, everyone practices martial arts, and they don't know how to control their strength..." Dottore's tone was leisurely.

Gu Chen immediately understood his meaning and said softly: "Then we need to sign a life-and-death contract. Death in the arena shouldn't affect the relationship between our two countries, right?"

"Of course not." Dottore's smile grew even wider.

"That's good."

Gu Chen nodded and said: "You have come from afar, so rest first. How about starting this matter in three days?"

"Of course!" Dottore nodded.

Afterwards, both sides talked cordially about many matters of communication and cooperation before returning to the residence prepared for them by the Knights.

In the office.

Diluc looked at Gu Chen and said: "Vice Grand Master, what is this Dottore planning?"

Gu Chen looked at the scene of knights training on the training ground through the window, and said without looking back: "He wants to force the knights to exert their greatest strength and see their limits."

"What is the purpose?" Diluc didn't understand.

"People have different physiques. A weak physique is naturally difficult to bear the pain brought by some potions, and it is even possible to die in pain."

"If the physique is strong enough to bear more powerful potions, and then transformed into more terrifying war weapons, then for this evil scholar, it is simply great news."

After hearing what Gu Chen said, Diluc thought thoughtfully: "Most of the knights in the Knights practice the basic version of the body-refining technique, and some loyal elites practice the advanced version... The advanced version has not leaked out for the time being, the Fatui cannot obtain it!"

"They proposed to compete. If we don't want to lose face, we can only send powerful elite knights, because it will be a life-and-death struggle, and we must use powerful strength to deal with it... In this way, they can figure out the upper limit of the advanced body-refining technique... If it meets their requirements, they will find a way to get the advanced body-refining technique?!"

Gu Chen nodded slightly: "Almost, and they should want to get the ultimate body-refining technique even more!"

Diluc's expression was solemn upon hearing this: "They will target you?!"

"Hehe, it's not strange for a scholar without a bottom line to do anything." Gu Chen shrugged.

"Please be careful!" Diluc said seriously.

"Don't worry."

Gu Chen shook his head, just about to take a sip of tea, when he suddenly said: "By the way, let the knights be careful recently, and pay attention to the situation of some important figures, don't be set up by the Fatui."

Diluc nodded seriously.

"Especially Master Crepus who lives at the Dawn Winery."

Gu Chen pondered for a while and said: "How about this, the diplomatic martial arts competition between the two countries in three days, invite him to sit in the Knights in this name."

"Yes!"

Regarding his father's safety, Diluc nodded and went to handle it immediately.

Gu Chen came to Varka's office.

"I've heard it all. The Fatui's plans are not small." Varka narrowed his eyes.

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover." Gu Chen laughed lightly.

"That Dottore is not easy to deal with, you have to be careful." Varka warned.

"I know."

Gu Chen nodded, then said: "Prepare more doctors to deal with this competition."

"Can our doctors really cure those things that are neither human nor ghost in the Fatui?" Varka thought about it and his expression was strange.

Some members of the Fatui vanguard didn't look like normal people at all!

Varka even suspected that they had undergone some transformation!

"What are you thinking? Of course, it's to ensure the safety of our own people!" Gu Chen shook his head.

What does the life and death of the Fatui have to do with him?

The life-and-death contract has been signed, and the Fatui shouldn't think about making any articles on this!

Varka came back to his senses and nodded: "Also!"

Afterwards, Varka said again: "By the way, you've been fooling Jean into being your assistant for several years. After this matter, shouldn't you grant her a title?"

"There are no faults in government affairs, and she hasn't shown much in terms of strength. Just take this opportunity, and it will be justified." Gu Chen said.

"Since she is your assistant, you can arrange it yourself." Varka nodded.
