Chapter 159

Consultant Zhongli: "..."

Knights of Favonius Headquarters.

When Eula and Jean brought Su Bai to Varka's office.

Varka pretended to be stunned and asked: "Was that mutated Hilichurl caught?"

"Why did you bring back a young boy?"

"Is he a Liyue person you rescued?"

Jean: "..."

Eula: "..."

Varka: "..."

The air instantly quieted down.

After a long while, Varka laughed heartily: "As expected of Jean and Eula."

"You really brought back the guy who looted the supplies."

"Thank you for your hard work; I want to interrogate this guy personally."

Jean: "..."

Eula: "Ahem, Grand Master, can you be a bit more honest?"

"Alright, I have something to talk to Su Bai Lawrence about."

Jean and Eula looked at each other, naturally understanding the reason.

Without saying much, the two of them looked at Su Bai at the same time.

"I'll wait for you outside. After you come out, I'll take you around Mondstadt."

"Of course, if you dare to follow me."

Eula waved her hand and left in a dashing manner.

Jean wanted to say something, but unfortunately, she hesitated, only bowing slightly to Su Bai before walking out.

"Alright, now it's just the two of us. What exactly do you want with me?"

Su Bai faced Varka without any restraint.

The two of them could be considered old acquaintances; regardless of the age gap, there was nothing between men that couldn't be solved with a meal and drinks.

Drink a few more times, and the relationship gets closer.

"I remember your ideal back then was to become a knight, right?"

"To restore your life in the City of Mondstadt."

Varka put away his usual laziness, his expression exceptionally serious.

He knew that if Su Bai really didn't want to be in Mondstadt, he could have returned to Liyue to live as a Liyue person long ago.

On this point, Varka admired Su Bai greatly.

Where you lose something, you pick it back up there.

Like a man.

"And I think you should know something about Eula's situation."

"Now, what are your thoughts?"

Facing Varka's question.

Su Bai fell into confusion.

In the past, he believed Eula's words deeply, but now seeing Eula's situation, he didn't know what to do to improve the prejudice against the Lawrences in Mondstadt.

At least to change the image of himself and Eula in the hearts of the Mondstadt citizens.

"I don't know either. To be honest, I'm very confused."

"Eula once thought that as long as she became a knight, she could change her image in the hearts of the Mondstadt people."

"But, now she has become the captain of a knight squad, and despite giving so much for Mondstadt, there is still no change."

A young boy's confusion?

Varka nodded.

Su Bai was still as frank as ever.

Pouring a glass of wine for Su Bai, Varka handed the glass to Su Bai.

"I have big problems on my end too."

"It has been a thousand years since Lady Vennessa founded the Knights of Favonius."

"A comfortable life will always cause certain changes in people's hearts."

"Even within the Knights, there are many who do things that violate the knightly spirit in order to maintain the honor of the knights."

Is it Eroch?

Varka's last sentence immediately brought this name to the minds of the Knights of Favonius.

The former inspector of the Knights, who usurped credit and was also the one who caused Diluc to leave the Knights in a fit of rage.

Of course, everyone knew that Eroch was just a representative figure of the vast organization of the Knights of Favonius.

People like him were not a minority in the Knights.

"I have observed you for so many years."

"No matter what happens, the most essential things in your heart are very stable."

Varka clinked glasses with Su Bai.

"Let's make a deal, Su Bai..."

"A deal?" Su Bai was even more confused after hearing this.

Varka laughed: "I will overcome all opposition to open up another independent knight regiment."

"You will serve as the captain, but the knights I can provide you can only be recruited from the bottom-level citizens of Mondstadt."

"And the missions you have to complete might be heavier than any other knight squad."

Su Bai frowned.

Varka continued: "The results and credit for the missions will all be published by me to help you."

"My purpose is very simple: I want to use your hands to properly tidy up the spirit and appearance of the Knights of Favonius."

"After all, if your independent knight regiment's prestige surpasses the Knights of Favonius, I will have an excuse to properly rectify those lazy guys who have no knightly spirit."

"And what you can gain is honor, but I can't guarantee that even so, it will allow you and Eula to gain the understanding of the Mondstadt people."

"However, I think this is an opportunity for you."

After speaking.

Varka sighed deeply: "Sigh, sometimes, when the spirit is too free, it's not a good thing."

Chapter 113: Furina's doubts, a free city-state, is love not free?

So this is the truth behind Su Bai Lawrence becoming a captain.

Letting him lead the bottom-level Mondstadt citizens to re-establish an independent knight regiment to complete various missions.

Used as a banner and benchmark to compare against the Knights of Favonius.

Strengthening the knightly spirit and appearance of the Knights of Favonius.

The ending exceeded the expectations of the Teyvat audience.

Moreover, they felt that the approach of Varka, the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, was a bit excessive.

This was filled with the flavor of using relationships.

If the level were higher, it would completely rise to the internal struggle and contradictions of the Knights of Favonius.

Nahida: "Is the Grand Master of Mondstadt using Su Bai as a chess piece?"

Varka: "Wait, Lesser Lord Kusanali of Sumeru, your words are full of ambiguity. It is a deal between me and Su Bai Lawrence."

Diluc: "He wants to use his Lawrence family background, plus the identity of the bottom-level citizens of Mondstadt, and combine the two to form a knight regiment."

Kaeya: "Such an identity gap will indeed bring an impact to a certain part of the Knights of Favonius. If the independent knight regiment led by Su Bai surpasses the Knights of Favonius in achievements and honor, it will cause some people's mentality to collapse."

Lisa: "There is no harm without comparison. Those people presumably don't want to fall behind the Lawrences, right?"

Dvalin: "This is a good idea to knock on the Knights of Favonius. If they are not even as good as the Lawrence people, what kind of knights are they? Go home and farm."

Venti: "..."

Alhaitham: "Then what Su Bai Lawrence can gain is achievements and honor. As for whether he can change his status in the hearts of Mondstadt citizens, it still depends on the thoughts in the hearts of the Mondstadt citizens."

Alice: "Fine, Varka, I let you take care of my apprentice, and you threw the dirtiest and most tiring work to him?"
