Chapter 205 The Rumor Is True, the Wind Elf and the Boy Meet for the First Time
Mondstadt, in the manor outside the fifth city.
Snowflakes were falling from the dark sky. Miss Lawrence, Vanila Rui, who was wearing a maid outfit and had long blue and white hair, was wiping the windows reluctantly. She glanced at a guy lying on the sofa who was watching this scene with interest, and she couldn't help but wipe the black spots on the window glass with all her strength.
"Damn it! Damn it! If it weren't for someone's delicious food, I wouldn't be a maid! I'll remember this grudge."
The eldest daughter of the Lawrence family thought so in her heart, but when she recalled the taste of the noodles in her mind, she couldn't help swallowing, and finally she continued to wipe the windows helplessly.
There was no way. She was a girl with not much flesh on her body. Even with her aristocratic upbringing, it would be very difficult for her to meet a bad guy alone. Her current situation was ten or even a hundred times better than it was two months ago.
After all, she really didn't want to live a life where she had to eat frozen grasshoppers when she was hungry, dig snow when she was thirsty, and most importantly, keep walking in the cold.
If the butler had not risked his life to bring her to the fifth city, she would have frozen to death on the way.
Thinking back to the old butler's last instructions, sadness flashed across Fanilari's face, but the knock on the door attracted her attention.
"Little Nila, go open the door and welcome the guests."
No. 1 Ye Lidao's voice came from the sofa. A cross appeared above Vanilarai's head, and he said in a very impolite tone:
"How many times do I have to tell you this! My name is Vanila Rui, and your nickname is not nice at all."
Fanilarai turned around, very dissatisfied with the nickname given to him by someone, but he still went to open the door honestly.
As soon as the door was opened, a streak of red hair caught the girl's eyes very conspicuously. Vanilara immediately remembered the knight competition six months ago. The streak of red overlapped with the man in front of her, and her little face suddenly showed surprise.
Dicas looked at the dazed maid in front of him with a puzzled look, then turned his head to look at No. 1 Ye Li who was sitting on the sofa and asked:
"Li, is this your new maid? She looks so dumb."
No. 1 Ye Li smiled helplessly and waved:
"Don't worry about her. This girl is also a miserable person. But you shouldn't come here because of such a small matter."
A thoughtful look flashed across Dicas' face, and then he ignored the maid and the people behind her who came in.
Carlo stepped into the familiar living room, glanced at the dazed maid, a look of sympathy flashed in his eyes, and then he walked past her and sat opposite Ye Li with Dicas.
At this time, Fannina Rui reacted and her face turned red. People who didn’t know better might think she was shy.
In fact, Vanilarui was indeed feeling ashamed and angry because of her daze. As the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family, she could not lose her elegance even if she became a maid. However, the daze just now really shattered her dignity as a noble.
Dicas and Carlo looked at the maid at the door with strange eyes, watching her expression change rapidly. Not only did they see No. 1 Ye Li laughing happily beside them, they couldn't help but feel curious. They put their business aside and asked about Vanilarui's origins.
Before the two asked, No. 1 Ye Li made a gesture to ask them to be quiet for a while. After sending Fannilarui away, he told them the truth.
An hour later, Dicas and Carlo looked at No. 1 Ye Li with strange eyes, especially Dicas, who spoke directly from his heart.
"Li, tell me honestly, do you have any quirks? Why are the maids you always taking in the daughters of impoverished nobles or beautiful refugee girls?"
No. 1 Ye Li's expression darkened, and then he said with a look of helplessness and seriousness:
"You can't blame me for this. Who knew that the noble circles in Mondstadt were so chaotic? You could easily lose a daughter. The worst thing is that some great nobles are trying to arrange marriages. Many daughters who don't want to be tools are running to me. If I don't accept them, they will commit suicide. I'm afraid that my statement is not good, so I can only accept them reluctantly."
Carlo's mouth twitched, and he immediately recalled a rumor his sister had heard.
It is said that at midnight, whenever a noble lady did not want to be a tool for marriage, a skilled maid would trick her away and make her one of them.
At this moment, Dicas's expression was very embarrassed. He also remembered the rumor, but such an outrageous rumor turned out to be true, and the instigator was the merchant from Liyue in front of him.
"Now you know why I'm in such a dilemma. There's a female knight among the maids. She's as powerful as any of you. She always comes to me for practice, hoping to get better."
Looking at the melancholy and helplessness on No. 1 Ye Li's face, Dicas and Carlo wanted to beat him.
Damn, the two of them were out training knights to improve their own strength, but this guy was actually training with a group of maids. I'm afraid that the reason he complained about being tired was because of this. Ah! I shouldn't have trusted this guy in the first place!
The two men suppressed their unhappiness. Joking aside, they knew the businessman's character well and knew he would never do such a bad thing.
……
In the fifth city, the boy holding the strings of the zither was communicating with the blonde girl in front of him:
"Ah! You said that the little thing next to you is a god, so I am at a loss for asking for money for a meal today."
"I'm telling you, what's your attitude towards God? Although I can feel your devout belief, isn't this hurting my self-esteem?"
The wind elf floated around the boy, with confusion and helplessness on its face. The blonde girl just watched the interaction between the wind elf and the boy quietly, covering her mouth and laughing from time to time.
"Carly, why are you just watching? Are you betraying my beliefs too?"
Looking at the little thing floating in the air in front of her, Carly, as a devout high priest, reached out and grabbed the back of the wind elf's neck, and said with a smile on her face:
"Lord Wind Elf, please don't joke around! If you say that, I might really betray my faith."
"No, no, no, Miss Carly, please talk nicely."
"Haha, a dignified god was actually threatened. This kind of interesting thing must be written into my poem and sung for a long time."
"Just shut up! Don't think I'll indulge you just because you play the piano so well."
"Oh my, it seems that the Lord God is not convinced. If you have the ability, come and play it. If you don't know how, I can teach you."
"Ahhh, you're so annoying because your inner self is so contradictory to your outward appearance! Watch me praise you to the sky."
The gentle, girlish-looking boy smiled, feeling the breeze beneath his feet. The bright light of faith in his eyes grew stronger and stronger, forcing an angry Barbatos to give up helplessly.
