"Huh? It's you again, I told you, don't bother me!"
In front of Ying and Paimon was a tattered tent, standing alone not far from the fruit wine, in the direction of the Whispering Forest. In the simple tent, stood an elegant man with a mustache and glasses. , a gilt red cloth chair was placed behind the man.
It's like the last dignity of the old aristocracy.
"Hello, we are here..."
"Cough cough cough..."
When Paimon saw Schubert, he subconsciously said hello to ordinary people, but all he got was a disgusted glance and a disdainful rejection from Schubert.
Ying hurriedly coughed a few times, intending to remind Paimon.
"Huh, rude and frivolous, he walked up to say hello casually."
Schubert Lawrence's mustache moved,
"I heard that nobles are always magnanimous."
Ignoring Schubert's tone, Ying bowed slightly without being humble or condescending, put her right hand on her chest, and greeted Schubert with a knight's salute.
"Magnificent...kind of interesting, yes, that's what it is."
As if he had spoken to Schubert's heart, the old aristocrat let out a sigh of relief.
"Okay, I am by no means a narrow-minded person. Let the previous minor dissatisfaction be forgotten. If you want to have something to say, I will listen to you."
Schubert held his hands, raised his chin, and looked at the blond girl who lowered her head slightly with a contemptuous smile.
"Wow, this high and mighty attitude..."
Paimon leaned into the girl's ear and whispered.
"This meeting is like bathing in the supreme light."
Ying was not affected by Paimon, and still maintained the etiquette of the nobles, and said to Schubert.
"So that's it, fellow man, glory - that is, the glory of the nobility that continues to this day. You are loyal and loyal!"
"My original intention is to test your self-effacing character. It's very good. You already know this well."
Schubert lowered his head in surprise, looked at his level, and nodded in approval.
"So it's a test?! It's too troublesome to talk like this!"
Paimon held his forehead and swayed in the air.
"Well, except for this little pet next to you, who is qualified in terms of etiquette, it's hard to imagine that you have made such progress in such a short period of time."
Schubert turned to Paimon and resumed his disdainful tone.
"What? I'm not a pet..."
Ying suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled down Paimon, who was fuming and ready to refute Schubert's remarks.
"Where did you learn such gentle and polite words and sentences?"
"I came to understand it through the guidance of friends, quoting scriptures and scriptures."
Ying hid Paimon behind her back and motioned for her to take out the prepared pickles and fried meat from her backpack.
"Yes, yes, he is very smart. Compared with the untouchables in Mondstadt, he is really a talent. If he comes from the blood of nobles, his future is limitless!"
"By the way, we also have gifts... uh, ahem, it's a small gift, it's not a sign of respect, so please accept it."
Paimon immediately understood what Ying meant and took out the food prepared at the Deer Hunter Restaurant from behind her back.
"Ah, this is...fried pork with pickles?!"
"Sure enough, it's not just pretending, it's really hard work. This little pet is of some use."
There was a look of longing in Schubert's eyes, as if he hadn't eaten this dish for a long time, but he quickly put away his longing look, straightened out his demeanor, and said slowly: It just so happens that I haven't eaten it for a long time. …No, I mean, since it’s meal time, I won’t be polite. "
After receiving the fried pork with pickles and vegetables from Paimon, Schubert could still chew it in small bites at first, and then devoured it in big mouthfuls, as if he hadn't had a decent meal in a long time.
"Ah, it smells so good. It's still the same as before. It hasn't changed at all. Especially the sour smell. This is the enjoyment that only nobles can understand."
"It makes me a little curious about its taste."
Paimon looked at Schubert who was eating meat and rice, lowered his head and thought for a while, stretched out his index finger, shook it and said to the screen: "I heard that Yora was also a person when she was not accepted by the residents of Mondstadt. People hunt and eat barbecue in the wild, is Schubert also like this?"
Before he could answer, Schubert suddenly raised his face buried in his rice bowl and wiped the rice grains from the corner of his mouth with attention to his manners.
"Yora? Are you talking about Yora Lawrence?"
"Yeah, is she...your niece?"
Paimon hid behind Ying, watching Schubert's expression change from satisfied to furious.
"Hmph, there are no such scoundrels in Lawrence's family who violate family traditions."
After taking a breath from his nose, Schubert's aristocratic elegance disappeared a lot, and he gritted his teeth and spoke ferociously.
"Do you think you can get away with it by hiding it from your family and applying for the Knights?"
Schubert, who was obviously obsessed with red tape, actually had such a violent side. Apart from fear, Ying and Paimon felt more of unexpected surprise.
Schubert's eyes widened, and he didn't forget to fill his mouth with a big mouthful of fried pork with pickles, as if he had returned to the glorious moment when the Lawrence family oppressed the Knights of the West Wind at the door of the Knights.
At the gate of the Knights, there are the high-status fathers in the family, as well as the attendants around them, who are all loyal to the Lawrence family.
The arrival was so menacing that it instantly ignited a fire in the city of Mondstadt. There were many people watching, but most of them had expressions of disdain on their faces, and some had sneers on their faces, as if they were waiting for a good show, which was really unpleasant.
"Oh, who am I talking about? It turns out to be everyone from the Lawrence family."
The members of the Knights of the West Wind who arrived later stood at the door of the Knights and confronted the members of the Lawrence family.
Falga, the commander of the expeditionary army, slowly walked forward as if he was used to seeing this kind of scene. Qin, who was not yet the acting commander at the time, put on her usual sword and stood by Falga's side.
"Grand Commander Falga, this is a family matter of our Laurence family. The eldest daughter of the family does not understand the rules. She does not know the source of drinking water. Even the morality of respecting the ancestors has been lost to this point. There is no need for you to interfere. Wait until I bring the little girl back. With discipline at home, we don’t need to waste any time here.”
The man with white hair and beard was Yula's father. He said angrily, as if he wanted to just grab Yula's hand and run home.
In such a state of embarrassment, is this the noble Lawrence family?
"Eh...can't you say that?"
Captain Falga stood beside the confused Yula. His tone revealed a completely different feeling from that during the battle. In such a tense atmosphere, he actually seemed a little lazy and casual.
"The entrance examination of the Knights of the West Wind is not limited to the origin and background of the members. Even if someone from the Lawrence family applies, we will not turn them away."
There was a hint of mockery in Falga's eyes.
"After all... family lineage is not important. The rules brought by the wind god Barbatos to Mondstadt City are the freedom for everyone to choose on their own! As long as those who accept the assessment have the strength and make decisions according to their own will, then No one can deny her.”
"Huh, that's the result of the depravity of yourselves and the common people. Don't forget that our Lawrence family has always been the leader of wisdom in Mondstadt's rituals for thousands of years. Without the leadership of the wise men, you grinning people can't do it alone. Where can the cub lead Mondstadt?"
These several paragraphs of words went back and forth, and the exchange of words was comparable to the shouting in front of the battle between two armies.
It wasn't until Yora appeared in person that she completely severed her relationship with the Lawrence family.
"snort…"
Schubert will never forget Yula's offensive action. Schubert, who was also present at the time, only felt a cold light flash in front of his eyes. Yula pulled out a big sword from behind and pointed it straight at the faces of all the Lawrence family members.
"I have never forgotten the glory of my family, but I believe that glory is not like a poisonous snake that towers over everyone."
Youra's words were deafening, but they were completely unable to awaken the Lawrence family, whose hearts had been eroded by power.
"Okay, I feel your sincerity. If you are so sincere, you must be here for a request."
With a slight cough, Lawrence dropped the topic and quickly regained his aristocratic elegance.
"We seem to have heard that the Lawrence family has a big plan?"
Ying asked in a calm tone.
"Do you even know this? This was originally our family's secret..."
Lawrence said hesitantly, finishing the last bite of fried pork with pickles.
Although this is not in line with the etiquette of aristocrats...
He hasn't had this dish for too long. Ever since the incident that threatened the Knights, the Lawrence family's situation in Mondstadt has become worse and worse. Even in his generation, they have been completely driven out of Mondstadt. .
"I want to help you."
Answered firmly with glowing eyes.
"Um…"
"Well, seeing that you are well mannered, you must be a promising talent in the future. I am willing to give you full trust."
Staring into the pale golden pupils, Schubert nodded in trust.
"Then come with me, we need more help now."
Schubert stepped forward.
"Where are you going?"
"Meet our friends from far and wide who will lend a helping hand and help restore the Lawrence family to its glory."
