Chapter 526

It was known to every Mondstadt citizen that Varka wanted Gu Chen to inherit his position as Grand Master.

But Varka had never said it so publicly; today was the first time.

Although everyone present had expected this, they still felt a moment of astonishment.

Today was Gu Chen's coming-of-age ceremony, meaning Gu Chen was only eighteen today!

Varka became famous very early; he was a contemporary legend of the Knights. This fact would make people subconsciously feel that he had gradually become the words sung in people's mouths like those legends.

But when you calm down and think carefully, you will find that Varka is very young!

He was even younger than Diluc's father, Crepus!

Varka was in his prime, yet he was going to let Gu Chen take over the position of Grand Master?

This made everyone, who originally thought Varka would let Gu Chen take over when he couldn't work anymore, feel very confused.

"I'm still young, many things still need you to decide," Gu Chen shook his head upon hearing this.

Varka laughed upon hearing this, "Ten years, do you know? Many decisions were actually made by you; I was just a tool for you to sign."

"You are fully capable of taking this position now!"

Varka's words were full of certainty, and then he said, "I understand you, and of course you understand me. You should know that I yearn for freedom and like adventure."

"The body and the soul should always have one on the road, right?"

"Over the years, I originally thought my soul might be on the road, but the numerous affairs still made me feel spiritually bound. Only when I handed a bunch of things to you did I feel relaxed."

"Now, I have the opportunity to step down. My body and my soul can be on the road at the same time!"

"Kid, I haven't asked you to do anything for so many years, have I?" Varka said with a smile.

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows.

The moment Varka said this, he knew he couldn't refuse anymore.

Perhaps unlike others who believe in the Anemo Archon, the freedom Varka understands is of course different.

What he wants now is not just spiritual freedom, but also physical freedom.

Varka, who loves adventure, is probably going to leave the Knights of Favonius soon.

"I understand what you mean," Gu Chen nodded seriously and said, "Tell me when you set off."

"Of course." Varka nodded.

After looking at each other, everyone congratulated Varka one after another.

Everyone knew that Gu Chen would ascend to the position of Grand Master. Although it seemed too early now, no one thought Gu Chen needed any more growth.

He was too excellent, so excellent that even if he became Grand Master a few years earlier, it would be a matter of course.
