Honorary Knight!

Chapter 28

The relationship between the seven countries of the Teyvat continent is ambiguous, and even the seven branches of the Adventurers' Guild do not know the diplomatic attitude of their respective nation toward other countries.

Therefore, the Adventurers' Guild must avoid various countries' governments and official organizations for smooth communication between the branches. For example, Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt, Fatui in Snezhnaya, etc.

The Guild also needs to avoid unnecessary official procedures and prevent the leakage of its information.

For this reason, the Guild has its own secret communication channel.

Jason intends to use this route to deliver his message to Fischl.

As for issuing a commission for sending letters to other adventurers?

He didn't even think about it.

It's more reliable to issue such a task to a merchant caravan than to adventurers.

Most adventurers in the Teyvat continent have a screw loose in their heads. They look down on easy and unchallenging tasks like delivering letters despite having generous rewards.

Even if they take the task for some reason, if something interesting happens on the way, they will forget their original mission of delivering the letter and chase after the challenge.

So, a delivery mission that initially took a month will be extended up to half a year if an adventurer takes it.

"Letter for investigator Fischl?"

Fischl is an insider of Adventurers' Guild, not the same as the rest of the adventurers invited by Katheryne.

To a certain extent, the popularity of [Prinzessin der Verurteilung] is very high within the Guild.

"Since the letter is for internal personnel, there will be a certain discount. After discount, the cost of sending this letter to Inazuma branch is around 56,000 mora."

Katheryne quickly calculated the cost.

"Wow! So expensive~" Paimon was stunned after hearing her estimate.

It costs 56,000 mora to send a letter. It was too expensive.

With their daily income, it would take a very long time for Lumine and Paimon to save so much money.

Paimon didn't realize how much worth of food she ate at Jason's place last night.

Jason took out several bills and gave them to Katheryne, "Can I use Northland Bank bills?"

"It's okay!"

Katheryne received the bills, put them away with the envelope, and said, "I accept your payment. Please leave this matter to us with confidence."

"I'm glad to hear that!" Jason also nodded.

"Isn't this a bit expensive?" Lumine couldn't help but ask out.

She had been shopping with Paimon this morning and understood the value of this number of money.

But she soon felt relieved after thinking that Jason was the wealthy boss of Good Hunter restaurant.

After all, the menu price of the restaurant is also very high.

"The price is normal. It's transnational and a secret route after all." Jason replied. He even felt that the price was a good deal.

After answering, he took Lumine and Paimon to the Knight's headquarters.

Mondstadt is a city that sits on an island in the middle of the lake. So, a ladder design was adopted to save space.

Therefore, stairs can be seen everywhere in the city.

While they were in the middle of the stairs, Paimon suddenly called out.

"Jason, Lumine, look there!" After saying this, she pointed to a corner of the Goth Grand Hotel in the distance, "Is that Master Jean there, arguing with someone?"

Paimon's heart of gossip was ignited.

So, she flew over to better listen to their argument.

Jason and Lumine could only keep up with her.

"It seems that the other party is Fatui..." Jason quickly found out their identity. Fatuis usually wear recognizable clothing, with females wearing black translucent stockings.

The two of them kept arguing in front of the hotel without hiding their voice.

They seemed to be in a very formal negotiation.

"This is our attitude. If the Knights of Favonius cannot exterminate the rampaging dragon, it is better to hand over the city defense to someone capable like our Fatui..."

Then, the Fatui diplomat continued, "Mondstadt's dragon disaster would be over as soon as we kill that beast...."

"Beast!?" Jean raised her voice and asked angrily.

The diplomat didn't understand why Jean was in such a bad mood after hearing his words.

"Huh? What does the acting grandmaster mean?" She mockingly asked.

"Sigh..."

Jean took a deep breath and calmed herself down, "I hope your country's diplomats show more professional attitude. Do you want to deal with one of Mondstadt's four guardians?"

"I never expected anyone to say such ludicrous words in front of Knights of Favonius!"

Jean's attitude was quite harsh while saying this. Anyone would be in a bad mood when their nation's guardian was insulated.

The female diplomat also understood why Jean was suddenly so angry before and couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckled, "I didn't say anything wrong, right?"

"It looks like the acting grandmaster of knights of favonius is not in a good mood to negotiate any more. So, today's negotiation will end here."

Then, she folded her arms across her chest and said, "The result of today's discussion is a candid exchange of constructive opinions between two sides, right? I will record it truthfully!"

Then, the Fatui diplomat glanced at the crowd of onlookers.

In particular, she focused on Lumine and Paimon for a while, showing a slight smile, and then returned to Goth Grand Hotel.

Jean also noticed their arrival.

"Jason, Lumine, I'm sorry to let you see such a joke..." Jean said with some apology.

"The Fatuis are really used to being arrogant."

Jason shook his head and asked, "Are you still going back to the knights headquarters?"

"Of course, it's my rudeness to meet the two... I mean three of you here..." Jean said apologetically.

She felt that only meeting them in the head office would give them enough face and respect.

After dispersing the crowd, their group went upstairs to the Knights' Headquarters from the platform.

Inside the main office room,

Jean stood in front of a desk, saluted with one hand on her chest, and said, "Jason, Lumine, and Paimon, Thank you very much for your assistance yesterday. The elemental circulation around the city has finally settled down."

"The aftermath of Stormterror's disaster has temporarily came to an end."

After saying this, Jean subconsciously glanced at someone, saw him smiling, and watched her joke. An unnatural blush flashed across her delicate face after seeing this.

"This guy is probably laughing at me for being a stereotype again..." Jean felt a bit awkward in her heart but soon calmed down.

Then, she continued, "But as you have just seen, the pressure on us from the Fatuis has been too great to ignore..."

"So, this is my second unkind request..."

"Jason, Lumine, please accept the title of honorary knights of favonius as thank you from the acting grandmaster of the knights!"

"I also further seek for your assistance to find the truth about Stormterror's attack on Mondstadt." Jean was very serious while saying this.
