Suddenly, I heard my sister's whisper in my ears.
Those eyes as pure and moving as pearls were looking at him.
"I just feel a little emotional." Eula got closer to her to prevent the wind from the sky from getting into her sister's collar.
"Yeah, if we had thought about it earlier, maybe we could have just used the blanket to fly out of the castle."
Youya smiled brightly as she imagined that scene.
"It sounds too much like the style of Xumi."
“Really?” The girl stretched out her voice cutely, and then said, “Then I might as well go there next time. I feel like I’ll see a lot of different scenery there.”
Seeing her look like she was in a fantasy, Eula finally couldn't help but ask.
"What do you think of Mond?"
"I think it's OK. The scenery is nice. Looking down from a high place, it feels very vast. I feel like I'm a flying bird."
Of course, Youya also knew that this place was not so good for Lawrence, otherwise "little Youya's" parents would not have chosen to do business in Liyue. People always yearn for a beautiful place to live, hoping to throw away their heavy burdens and start over.
"Also, although I wasn't very happy before, I have made many trustworthy friends and reliable and steady elders now. I feel like I am one step closer to my dream without realizing it."
"...Is that so?" Eula did not sense any sadness from the tone, but rather a complexity that she could not understand. She could not help but ask, "Can't you tell me now, Yuya's dream?"
"No—" Her sister rejected her as usual, which made Eula feel a little disappointed.
However, she also did not evade the question.
"But what I can tell you, Sister Eula, is that you are part of my dream."
The girl facing the breeze turned her head to look at her, with a gorgeous smile on her tender face.
"I, I am Yuya's dream?"
It was difficult for Eula to guess what the girl in front of her was thinking, but she could understand that this was not a false lie, but her heart that was as bright as gold.
"Well, there are also Barbara, Amber, Grandpa An, and the fellow Knights... It is really a blessing to be able to meet everyone."
The girl's voice faded away with the wind, and the figure that was so close to her seemed to disappear in the next moment, making Eula subconsciously hug her tightly.
"Eh? Was it too fast? Did it scare Sister Eula?"
Her answer was the same as always, with a gentle warmth.
But nothing could dispel Eula's palpitations. She couldn't help but lower her head, not letting her sister see her expression, and just murmured softly.
"Youya, go back later... When everything is over, we will leave Mond and find a way to heal your legs."
"…It's so sudden, can you tell me why?"
"I... I don't know, but seeing you like this... I always feel uncomfortable... This shouldn't be the case."
Youya could feel the reluctance and attachment, but she was destined to be unable to leave here.
"It's because Sister Eula is too worried about me, but I understand. So -"
She looked towards the Dawn Winery that vaguely appeared in her vision, relaxed her body slightly, leaned back in her sister's arms, and whispered:
"After delivering the letter, let's go to the Fruit Wine Lake. We'll fulfill the agreement we made in the castle. This way, Sister Eula will be able to feel at ease, right?"
"Um……"
The light breeze carried the faint response, allowing a cuckolded poet sitting on the apple tree to listen attentively.
He sighed quietly, and felt that the apple in his hand had lost its crispness and sweetness. All that was left was the repetitive swallowing action that tasted like chewing wax.
"...Where will that child fly to?"
or.
Should she tell her sister how to open the birdcage?
Forget it, let’s just wait and see what happens.
He threw away the apple he had only taken a few bites of, and disappeared like a breeze.
Dawn Winery.
The rumors about the whereabouts of the treasure-stealing group had not yet reached this side, but the information that Wes was dead and Lawrenceburg was burned down did come through the traveling merchants.
Klips naturally also got the news from the servants. After ordering the winery to strengthen its security, he also contacted the knights patrolling nearby and asked them to temporarily go to the winery to strengthen security and wait for the Knights' reply.
Of course, he did this not because he was a coward, on the contrary.
Although Cripps was not a knight, he had the integrity to shed blood for justice, and he also had the kindness and goodness that was rare among businessmen. He took in most of the servants who had escaped from Lawrenceburg.
Among them were some with disabilities or ugly looks, but all were allocated housing equally and were assessed by the butler and head maids. Only a small number of honest people who were suitable for working in the winery were left, while those who were not so honest were given a little money and sent away.
For this good deed, he is worthy of the reputation.
Everyone in the winery knows that Master Cripps is such a kind and upright person.
However, he also has his own worries. He doesn't know how his two sons in Mond are doing.
Diluk didn't need to worry too much, but as for his adopted son Kaeya, to be honest, both the butler and the head maid had tried their best to dissuade him, and some even volunteered to adopt Kaeya for him.
They didn't want the appearance of this adopted son to affect Diluk's status as heir, but this was an unnecessary worry on their part.
Klips knew his son's character very well, and he could also see that the foreign boy Kaia had a secret.
Just as the servants hoped, Kaeya never competed with Diluk for the first place and always served as a supporting role to complement Diluk. If Diluk really wanted to fight for the position of heir, he should have tried his best to perform in front of them.
But he is not like that. Even if he can do something well, he will be lazy about it and even enjoy all kinds of pranks that make people laugh and cry.
Of course, it's not that he doesn't know his limits, it's just that's his way of survival.
With a child like this around Diluk, there will always be many unexpected things happening.
Just as Cripps was thinking about whether he should go and see the children, he heard some sounds coming from the sky.
Thinking that it was the falcon he had trained that had returned, Krips looked up and indeed saw a small black dot, but as it got closer, he inevitably showed a look of surprise.
"…Not Wood. Rather, the one on the broom?"
Chapter 83 Drinking Black Tea
If there were two major regrets in Krips' life, one was that he was not able to join the Knights Templar and become a knight.
Another big regret is the Eye of God.
It is not known whether it is because of his lack of ability or because the gods have their own say over the fate of mortals. Although Krips has a very strong desire, he has not received the attention of the gods.
Although he could comfort himself that there was more than one way to wait for the dawn, through the method of brewing wine, he could also make delicious wine to soothe people's hearts and give them the courage to walk until dawn.
Let the frustrated people forget their sorrows; let the silent people speak freely; let the frustrated people cheer up again; this is the true meaning of the winery’s name Chenxi.
But the older you get, the more you have to admit that the dream of being a hero is gradually fading and is being inherited by the next generation.
He believed that with the excellence of his children, they would surely gain the attention of God one day, and that this world would never let down those who held on to their beliefs.
However, when a person who was recognized by the gods at such a young age appeared before him, even the calmness that Krips had gained from his experience was lost at this moment.
As the owner of the largest winery in Mondstadt, he certainly had some vision. This flying ability, which was fundamentally different from the Wings of Wind, could only be achieved by someone who had been recognized by the Lord God of Wind.
But of the two girls in front of him, the oldest one was only about the same size as his son, and judging from the position, the person controlling the broom was still the petite girl in front of him.
This...is probably no more than seven or eight years old, right?
What kind of talent and what kind of desperate situation must be combined to make this miracle happen.
Klips felt a sense of absurdity where reality and fantasy blended together.
However, no matter how shocked he was, he did not continue to lose his composure. When the other party landed in front of him, Krips adjusted his expression and greeted the sisters gently.
"Hello, ladies. May I ask if you can help me with anything at Dawn Winery?"
His tone was kind, his manners were decent, and his cultured temperament reminded Youya of Weiss, except that the latter gave her a more deliberate and artificial feeling, and was not as refreshing as the handsome uncle in front of her.
There is not much difference between the two in appearance, but judging from the mental outlook alone, Wes has indeed lost a lot.
The most important thing is this iconic fiery red hair color...
Yuya introduced herself before her sister.
"Hello, I'm Youya, and the one behind me is my sister Youla."
After the other party nodded, the girl continued, "We are here to help a friend deliver a letter to his father. I see that your hair color seems to be very similar to his...Excuse me, are you Mr. Klips Leggenfend?"
"It's me." Cripps looked at her with a little surprise, especially the name she gave.
Isn’t this the child from the Lawrence family who caused the disturbance a while ago?
Diluk had also written back to tell him about this matter before, and said with some concern that the Lawrence family was arranging for their descendants to contact the daughter of Butler Simon.
Now it seems that he was the first to become friends with this girl, which really makes people sigh at the fickleness of fate.
Youya had no idea what Krips was thinking, she just smiled and handed the letter to him, along with a burgundy pure gem token.
Should we say that he is worthy of being the heir of the winery? He gave away such precious things. When he put them in the pocket of God, Youya was afraid that she would lose them.
Now that she could hand it over to the other party properly, she felt relieved and continued.
"Oh, yes. Brother Diluk asked me to say hello to you on his behalf, as well as Brother Kaeya. They both said they are doing well in Mondstadt, so you don't have to worry."
"My children... no, my children are really worrying too much. It's really embarrassing that I have to trouble you to come here for such a small matter."
Although he was muttering about Diluk and the others, Master Cripps' expression was much softer.
He looked at the two people sitting on the brooms and suggested, "After this long journey, I'm sure Miss Youya and Miss Youla must be a little tired. If you don't mind, why don't you go into the winery and rest for a while? I will also let me thank you on behalf of those two good-for-nothing children."
Youya wanted to decline, but the flying broom she was riding was not in good condition. Although its endurance had increased a lot after improvements, if she rushed back without stopping, she was afraid that another terrifying moment would happen again.
In order to avoid worrying Sister Eula and being lectured, Youya had no choice but to reply obediently: "Then I'd better obey your command, Master Cripps."
"Calling me master is too polite, and it makes me look old. You are Diluk's friends, so if you don't mind, just call me Uncle Cripps."
Cripps replied wittily.
Youya naturally followed suit, but Youla's reaction seemed a little distant.
Probably for the same reason as Yuya, she seemed to be in a bad mood when she saw Mr. Cripps, who was somewhat similar to Weiss (not).
However, basic etiquette was still followed. After accepting Master Cripps' invitation, Youya naturally controlled the broom to lower its height, while Youla skillfully picked up her sister and jumped down.
This made Cripps realize that something was wrong...
From beginning to end, he never saw the girl named Youya move her legs.
In other words, this girl who possesses the divine eye with wind attributes is actually disabled in both legs.
The wonder in Klips' heart was gradually turning into pity.
He controlled his expression and showed no pity. Instead, he remained kind and led the two girls towards the villa at the winery, talking about Diluk and Kaeya's embarrassing childhood memories to change the subject.
In order to avoid an awkward atmosphere, Youya had to admit that Uncle Cripps was quite talkative and an optimistic and cheerful person.
Diluk and Kaeya are lucky to have such a father.
Passing through the vast grape groves, the air was filled with a very sweet fructose smell, attracting many wind crystal butterflies flying around.
After entering the villa of Dawn Winery, Youya discovered once again that the gap between Patriarch Weiss and Master Cripps was getting bigger and bigger.
Unlike the dilapidated Lawrenceburg, the decoration style of the Morning Light Winery, as the name suggests, is overall warm and bright, making people want to sit by the window in the afternoon and leisurely enjoy a glass of fine wine.
Of course, given her and Sister Eula's age, they definitely cannot drink alcoholic beverages. Rather, if Uncle Krips really dared to serve them alcohol, Youya would have to consider which window it would be faster to escape from.
Eventually, the drink the maids offer them is "black tea," which is different from the one with the accessories.
This black tea called Wuwa has a faint rose fragrance and a clear and pure tea soup. It is a very precious delicacy collection.
While Yuya and Eula were sipping their tea, Krips opened the letter in front of them without any hesitation and read it while drinking tea.
But just after taking the first sip, his originally comfortable expression suddenly changed, revealing his seriousness.
Chapter 84 Azir
This letter was naturally written by Diluk himself, but in addition to greetings, it also contained some information revealed by the Grand Commander, especially the fact that multiple teams of knights were dispatched to capture the group of inbound bandits in one fell swoop.
Needless to say, Dawn Winery does have an obligation to cooperate, and since the Grand Commander told him about this through Diluk, it can be regarded as an advance warning.
Then he wouldn't have to wait for a reply and could take action directly.
