Two Conditions!

Chapter 29

"Honorary Knight?"

Lumine had never heard of such a title. After all, she arrived in Mondstadt not too long ago.

Seeing this, Jason explained to her, "It's just an external title. People who hold this title can enjoy honor and privileges of the knights without having to do anything in peaceful time, but are obliged to help in times of crisis."

"Just like this?" Paimon was very moved after hearing this.

Jason spread his hands and said, "Remember, now is the time of crisis..."

Jean felt very uncomfortable after hearing his explanation.

Jason seems to mean that she wanted to use the title of 'Honorary Knight' to tie the travelers to the Knights and further seek their help.

If Jason thought of her as that kind of person...

Jean felt very irritable thinking about it.

"Jason, this is the best thank you gift I can give!" Jean explained. She didn't want him to misunderstand her.

Lumine cast her eyes at Jean in surprise.

The current Jean looked completely different from the majestic figure negotiating with Fatuis diplomats yesterday.

"Jean, don't worry, I know..."

Given the current situation in Mondstadt and the lack of workforce in Knights of Favonius, it was true that Jean needed some external help.

And it just happens that the most suitable reward she can give is the title of Honorary Knight.

After all, she's the current acting grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius.

"Jean, do you think there will be a turning point in the relationship between the Knights and me now? Neither Grandmaster Varka nor the Cardinal of the Church could solve my affairs..."

Jason looked at her with a fake smile.

Jean's expression was slightly gloomy after hearing this. Her heart had a sense of loss, so she said reluctantly, "Is it still not possible?"

"No, the answer is the same as before..." Jason replied.

The Knights of Favonius consist of not only Jean, Kaeya, Lisa, etc...

The absolute right to speak will always be in the hand of those old-timers headed out on the expedition.

Now Jean and the others are just temporarily holding the authority.

Also, with the presence of senior members of Favonius Church, how much power can Jean and her team have?

This is the fundamental reason for his refusal to join the Knights or even accept the title of Honorary Knight.

"Jean looks so sad..." Paimon quietly whispered, then covered her mouth.

Lumine also noticed something wrong with the atmosphere.

"However, if Jean asks me privately, I will still help..." Jason smiled at Jean meaningfully.

After hearing this, Jean looked at him in astonishment. Her initially dull eyes gradually lit up.

Afterward, a blush appeared on her delicate cheeks. She understood the meaning.

So, she took a deep breath and pressed her chest so that her heartbeat would not speed up.

"Jason, thank you!" Jean joyfully said.

Jason raised two fingers and said, "I have two requests by the way..."

"Uhmmm... let's hear it first..." Jean said with some hesitation.

"First, I want a Favonius Warbow." Jason said his first request.

"Hmm..." Jean started thinking about the difficulty of doing so.

It may be hard for her to give it to someone else, but if it is Jason, it should be feasible.

The Church may try to block it, but they should allow it if she has a tougher attitude.

Although this may hamper the relationship between knights and the Church, she is ready to bear the consequences of her action.

But Jason already owns a Favonius Sword given by Grandmaster Varka. Why does he need another Favonius Warbow?

"Okay, please give me some time to prepare..." Jean stopped thinking and nodded in agreement.

"Second, I want to bring Barbara out for some training. Can you help me deal with the Church?" Jason asked for his second request.

"Are you going to train Barbara?" Jean didn't expect to hear Barbara in his request.

"Yes, she needs to be stronger for her safety..." Jason nodded.

"Then, please take care of Barbara." Jean agreed to his request.

His second request is actually better than the first one.

"Then can we make some conditions as well?" Paimon wanted to ask for some mora.

Lumine also felt that having some extra money was practical.

Jean was about to nod, but he interjected, "Lumine, you should accept the title of Honorary knight!"

"Huh? Why is that?"

Not only Lumine and Paimon but even Jean was surprised after hearing him.

Jason sighed speechlessly, "If Stormterror's incident is really solved by outsides like us, then the fame and reputation of the knights of favonius will be loss not only in Mondstadt but even other countries."

He didn't care about the loss of reputation of the Knights of Favonius.

But, Jean is the current acting grandmaster of the Knights.

Jean would be the most affected if such a thing happened, with a massive blow to her prestige.

He's sure rumors such as [Jean is not suitable to lead the knights of Favonius.], [The knights led by Jean are incompetent.], etc., will be spread throughout the city by her adversaries such as the Fatuis. At that time, Jean would become the biggest joke in Mondstadt.

"So there must be someone from the Knights to participate in this incident, and the Honorary knight naturally counts."

"If the invited Honorary knight solves the dragon disaster, at least there is an exuse of 'Acting Grandmaster has a great vision.'" Jason explained to them.

"Jason..." Jean also figured this out, and a warm and throbbing feeling filled her heart.

"Can you? Lumine?" Jason asked for Lumine's opinion.

"Well, it doesn't really matter to me." Lumine didn't care much about this topic.

"Then, Jean, let's carry out the award cermony." Jason said.

There is no harm for Lumine to accept the title of Honorary Knight of Knights of Favonius.

Because everyone in Mondstadt knew that Lumine helped repel Stormterror yesterday, they could easily accept her.

With Lumine accepting the title, Jason can also intervene in Knight's affairs.

The premise is that he cannot become a member of the Knights of Favonius after all.

Half an hour later, the two left the knights' headquarters with Paimon.

Along the way, Jason used his system to check the level of everyone.

After all, to fight against Stormterror, he must have a rough estimation of everyone's strength.

There is a risk of their group being completely wiped out after all.

If someone died in the battle, they're gone for sure.

"Paimon, can you call someone for me." Suddenly Jason asked Paimon.

"Who? Do I know them?" Paimon was happy to help.

After all, Jason gave her free food and shelter. So, she needed to please him appropriately.

"Just keep calling Noelle on the way back..." Jason asked her to do something weird.

"What!?" Paimon was very confused listening to him.

Suddenly, a figure silently appeared behind Paimon.

"Yes!" The figure suddenly said, startling Paimon.

"Ghost!!" Paimon was shocked and fell into Jason's arms.
