[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking.

Fortunately, Farusan saw Chao Ke's figure. Although she was still a little reluctant to leave, she took the initiative to end the conversation with Lisa.

Lisa was also a perceptive person. After following Farusan's gaze and spotting Chao Ke, she knew why the conversation had ended.

Not only did he bid farewell to Farusan with a smile, but he also whispered something in Farusan's ear before leaving, making Farusan blush and unable to meet Chao Ke's gaze for a moment.

Chao Ke stepped forward and ruffled his senior's light blue hair.

"Huh? Where did my senior Farusan go? And why is there an ostrich standing here?"

As he spoke, he bent his middle finger and flicked Lushan's fair forehead.

【厭卋?説ф 啭立占?㈨ 肆㈧ 3 二ч 0 9二】

"Chao Ke!!!"

Farusan gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Chao Ke, but a trace of blush still lingered on her puffed-up cheeks.

This expression, somewhere between "I'm super fierce" and "I'm super cute," is more like it.

Of course, teasing Senior Faroshan in this way did not come without a price. Chao Ke spent half a day shopping with her before he could coax Senior Faroshan back to her senses.

Speaking of which, shopping is truly a talent ingrained in girls.

In particular, the streets she visited today had the added bonus of "exotic atmosphere," "changes a century later," and "materials from the epistemological Mond linguistics," making Farusan's shopping experience extremely enjoyable.

Seeing the small bag of "spoils" in Chao Ke's hand, Falushan was in a great mood, temporarily forgetting Chao Ke's offense that morning, and tacitly approving of his act of putting his arm around her waist.

The two were a bit tired after walking around. After putting their "spoils" back at the inn, Chao Ke suggested finding a tavern to relax and experience Mondstadt's important drinking culture.

Fiona readily agreed.

If the goal is to fully experience Mondstadt's wine culture, then the first choice should definitely be [Angel's Gift].

After all, the reputation of [Dawn Winery] and the quality of its wines were well-known even in Fontainebleau and Chaoke.

Pushing open the door, Chao Ke found the tavern even more bustling than he had imagined. Even though it wasn't completely dark yet, there weren't many seats left.

The timing of Chao Ke and Farusan's arrival was quite coincidental; an empty table had just been cleared out on the first floor, which the two of them could use.

After taking their seats, Chao Ke first ordered a bottle of the signature wine, "Angel's Gift," a fine cider from the Morning Light Winery.

Afterwards, the bartender Charles served two special cocktails according to their tastes.

Since the premium cider produced by Dawn Winery is the best-selling item in the bar, the waiter quickly served it to the two of them, and also gave them a complimentary special meal to accompany the cider.

Gently open the sealed bottle of cider, and with a snap, the cork is pulled out, releasing an intoxicating fruity aroma.

Pour the pale yellow liquid into a glass, swirl it gently, and savor the rich aroma that gradually emerges as the liquid heats up.

"As expected of a product from Dawn Winery, the quality is truly impeccable."

Chapter 70 Yura, [Wine and Poetry in the Dark Alley]

Outside Mondstadt, Yura, having finished a day of guerrilla warfare, was stretching her slightly sore wrists.

Looking at the sky, which wasn't too late yet, Yura fell into thought.

"How about we go get a drink?"

Drinking is a daily activity for Mondstadt residents, and it's almost always the best choice for adults during their leisure time. Yora is no exception.

After a moment's thought, Yura headed toward the direction of "Angel's Gift".

At this hour, there probably won't be a single seat left in the tavern, not even in a corner.

Fine, I'll just take a bottle back to my dorm and drink it. Anyway, there's no one to talk to in the bar, and I'll just get some dirty looks. It'll be more enjoyable to drink alone in my dorm.

Pushing open the door to "Angel's Gift," Yura looked around. Sure enough, even the corner seats were full...

The patrons in the tavern quieted down a bit after Yura's appearance, and even the drunkards became much quieter.

After all, the Lawrence family symbolizes the ignorance and tyranny of Old Mondstadt, and is equivalent to the eternal pain in people's hearts.

Every time Yura appeared in public, it was as if she were tearing open an old wound again. People loathed the old aristocracy, so naturally they wouldn't give her a warm welcome.

Yura walked straight to the bartender Charles and said somewhat forlornly.

"Give me a bottle of dandelion wine. As for seating... no need to arrange anything, I'll take it with me and drink it."

Yura's words eased Charles's expression slightly, though he felt somewhat apologetic to Yura, his drinking companion.

However, if they were to share a table, it would be difficult to find guests in the pub willing to drink with the Lawrence family.

Looking at the somewhat lonely figure, Chao Ke nudged Farusan beside him.

Farusan understood Chao Ke's meaning. She also noticed the dejection in the young lady's expression, so she nodded slightly to Chao Ke, tacitly agreeing with his idea.

After obtaining Farusan's consent, Chao Ke stopped Yura, who was about to leave, and said...

"Miss, are you a member of the Knights?"

Yura was taken aback, then nodded.

“That would be wonderful. We are travelers from a foreign land and are very interested in the sights of Mondstadt and the Knights of Favonius. Would you do us the honor of sharing a table and exchanging ideas?”

Chao Ke's words stirred something in Yura; a foreign traveler... was indeed an excellent person to talk to.

In Mondstadt, people either give you the cold shoulder because of Lawrence's surname, or they're like Amber, always looking out for you.

It is truly rare to find someone with whom you can have an equal conversation, even if they don't know your background.

Therefore, Yura readily accepted Asahi's suggestion and sat down with some wine.

The bartender, Charles, was very perceptive and quickly instructed the bartenders to bring him a new set of barware and snacks.

Looking at Yura sitting in the tavern, Chao Ke felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Suddenly it dawned on me that this person, it seems, sneezed right here and sent Chao Ke and his 648 packs flying...

In my past life, I really liked this "Nuclear Explosion Queen" very much, both in terms of her character story and her character illustrations and model.

To be honest, there's a joke about Yura's voice actress. She can play the superconductor herself using the Japanese voice actress because her Japanese voice actress is Rina Sato (Misaka Mikoto).

Therefore, many netizens joked that this was Misaka Mikoto's dream of having big breasts.

We've gone off on a tangent...

After taking her seat, Yura started chatting with Farusan.

As the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family, Yura is the keeper of the family crest, the "Ice Seal." Naturally, she received an excellent education from a young age, both in etiquette and cultural knowledge.

In addition, the Lawrence family has a vast collection of ancient books accumulated over its long history, so the two had quite a few things in common to talk about.

Yura was amazed by Farusan's knowledge of history and linguistics, and Farusan was impressed by the depth of Yura's understanding of Mondstadt's human history.

Meanwhile, Chao Ke silently pondered the situation, admiring the good looks of the two men.

As night fell, the tavern grew increasingly lively, and Six-Fingered Joseph, the bard who resided at [Angel's Gift], began to strum his harp amidst the cheers of the crowd.

At this point in time, Sixfingers Joseph is incredibly popular, undoubtedly the most popular bard in Mondstadt. His playing and singing are what people admire most.

As Chao Ke felt the lively atmosphere in the tavern, perhaps it was this wonderful feeling that made Yura want to stay in the tavern even though she was being glared at.

"Tonight, a generous customer requested an ancient Mondstadt song from my place."

"Speaking of which, that was quite a difficult problem. If it weren't for my extensive knowledge, Six-Fingered Joseph, I really wouldn't know how to sing this song!"

"Now, what I'm going to show you next is..."

"Wine and poetry in the dark alley!"

Yura's expression changed instantly. Why was it this ballad?

The customer who requested the song was definitely targeting me on purpose, choosing such a song...

As the strings vibrated, Six-Fingered Joseph gradually began to play.

Everyone knows about that drunken thief. But no one knows where he came from, how he suddenly appeared in the dark alley.

"He sang, drank, and roamed the streets, rooftops, and balconies. But everyone knew he was a wonderful, kind man."

"The bird-head sword at his waist is a family heirloom stolen from a nobleman. The jet-black longbow on his back is unerring in its accuracy."

"His unparalleled swordsmanship was like a comet flashing across the night sky, and his footsteps were as light as the rustling of leaves in the west wind."

"Even if he dies after drinking an entire lake of fruit wine in the afternoon, he can still sneak into a nobleman's bedroom alone at midnight."

"To uphold justice and rob the rich to help the poor, to blow away the malice of the gentry like the wind, and to pierce the darkest night like light."

"A chivalrous thief is the dream of countless young girls, who dream of him breaking into their homes, but he only likes to drink with his brothers."

"Until one night, he broke into the mansion as usual, and returned laden with loot, including a noble silver cup."

As he left in the moonlight, he inexplicably looked up at the window sill radiating warm light, and there stood a beautiful woman.

"Her eyes were like sapphires shimmering in the dark, almost identical to the clear, sparkling crystal in the champagne glass she held."

Without hesitation, the chivalrous thief pried off the crystal and presented it to the girl he loved, receiving a joyful yet shy smile in return.

"In the end, they overthrew the noble lord. Then they went on adventures together in faraway lands, becoming a warm light in each other's lives."

The story ends here, and the singing also comes to an abrupt halt.

The people in the tavern applauded and cheered, but a few unfriendly, mocking, and sarcastic glances were fixed on Yura.

This poem, "Wine and Poetry in the Dark Alley," is a story of chivalry and resistance against the aristocracy during a dark era, inspiring unfortunate people to face tomorrow and confront the powerful.

But now that benevolent governance is widespread, no one sings the stories of chivalrous thieves anymore, and no one needs chivalrous thieves anymore.

The person who requested the song pulled out this particular ballad; the underlying message couldn't be clearer.

Seeing Yura biting her lip in her seat, Asahi sighed silently and stood up to speak.

"Since you all enjoy this poem, 'Wine and Poetry in the Dark Alley,' I have a story behind it that I'd like to hear."

Chapter 71 [The Wandering Band] and Kliuszlied Lawrence!

"Speak, kid!"

"Please tell me, please tell me! I also want to know the story behind this poem!"

"Haha! Young man, speak up quickly!"

Seeing the enthusiastic response from the crowd around him, Chao Ke didn't keep them in suspense. After clearing his throat, he began to recount the past that had been buried by history.
