Falga looked towards the North Sea River.
"Alchemy is also one of the important technical supports of the Knights of Favonius. This has always been the responsibility of Abedo. If you want to cooperate on alchemy, I suggest you go and discuss it with Abedo himself."
Hokusawa had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Why is it that when I'm negotiating a cooperation with the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, the Grand Master keeps pushing the details of the negotiations onto his subordinates?
Isn't he responsible?
The previous Spark Knight could be attributed to his young age, but surely this Abedo can't be a child too?
Are the Knights of Favonius Boy Scouts?
"Grand Master, if I may be so bold, both the Spark Knight and this Mr. Abedo seem to be knights of the Knights of Favonius, don't they?" Hokkaido said hesitantly.
"Yes what's the matter?"
"Then why, as the Grand Commander, do you..."
Why does it seem like I can't command these people at all?
The following sentence was not spoken on the Beihai River.
However, Falga clearly understood what Beihaichuan meant.
“Oh, if it were an internal matter of the Knights of Favonius, I could certainly give the order directly. However, the nature of our cooperation is rather special. While I personally hope to facilitate it, I can only represent the Knights of Favonius and, in principle, not object. Of course, I think they won’t refuse.”
Beihai Chuan Shang's mind was a little slow to process what was happening.
Is this a bit too complicated?
Perhaps this is the unique freedom of the people of Mondstadt.
Beihai Chuan Shang didn't understand, but was quite shocked.
He decided to skip the topic for the time being.
"Since it's a collaboration, and you've supported us in establishing a research department and shared your explosives technology and alchemy, what do you hope to gain from us?"
This is quite different from when they were in Liyue.
In Liyue, both sides had already completed communication, gained a certain understanding, and established a mutually beneficial foundation, especially clarifying the benefits to Liyue. That's why the Seven Stars strongly supported them.
But in Mondstadt, they were immediately greeted and supported by Falgar, completely unaware of their value to Mondstadt.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Upon hearing this, the commander's face no longer held a carefree expression, but instead became slightly more serious.
"We've heard that your side seems quite adept at solving mass production problems for certain technologies, and that you've used some emerging technologies as weapons?"
Beihai Chuan Shang hesitated slightly.
It seems that Liyue only recently found out about this, right?
Previously, Liyue only knew that they had a new energy system.
Even the inhabitants of Haiqi Island stationed in Liyue only recently learned about it.
Mondstadt's information network is so efficient?
"That's true." After a brief moment of thought, Hokkaido Kawakami admitted.
"As you know, Mondstadt's explosives and alchemy have always been quite outstanding, but as you can see, our Knights of Favonius have not yet been able to use products from these two technologies on a large scale."
"Because you lack the capacity for mass production?"
“That’s right. The gadgets that Abedo makes are indeed useful, but he has to be responsible for the whole process of design, research and development and production, so he can’t make many good things. Alice and Klee’s explosives are indeed very powerful and useful, but few people can learn the essence, let alone make them. The Knights’ explosives have always relied heavily on the output of these two, which is why we have been slow to form a ‘bomb squad’.”
“And our capabilities happen to meet the needs of the Knights of Favonius’ development,” Kitakawa Kami added.
"That's right, exactly."
Falga agreed with Hokkaido's statement.
"In particular, now that I'm leading an expedition, the forces left behind in Mondstadt will be severely depleted. There's a good chance that monsters will proliferate, seriously threatening the safety of the people of Mondstadt. If we can use more advanced technology to arm the knights, it will definitely reduce the pressure on the knights left behind. Who knows, it will make our expedition much easier."
"So you see, you learn explosives and alchemy, while we learn mass production techniques. It's completely mutually beneficial, and it's great for both of us, isn't it?"
Falga's gaze fell upon the North Sea River.
“Indeed.” Hokusai Kawakami nodded in agreement.
This certainly suits their wishes.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Falgar shouted towards the door.
"Grand Master Falgar, Dandelion Knight—Jane Gunnhild reports for duty!"
Beihai looked towards Qin, the acting commander appointed by Grand Master Falga.
He looked very young, only sixteen or seventeen years old.
Is such a young girl capable of fulfilling the duties of acting team leader?
"Here, this is our acting team leader."
Falga pointed to the zither and introduced it to Hokukawa.
"Don't let her young age fool you, her martial arts skills and management abilities are exceptional!" Falga walked to Qin's side and gave Beihai Chuan a thumbs up. "Most importantly, she has a steadfast and kind heart. I have complete confidence in entrusting the Knights to her."
Qin blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed by Falga's praise.
"Commander, this... isn't this a bit much? I didn't..."
"Don't be modest, you deserve it." Falga patted Qin on the shoulder.
"Let me introduce you to this guest from Inazuma, a distinguished guest who will bring new changes to our Knights Order."
"Hello."
"Hello."
Qin and Beihaichuan greeted each other politely.
Falga, who was standing to the side, suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Hey, didn't I tell you to bring Klee with you? Where's Klee?"
Chapter 121 It’s better to block than to open up
"Um……"
Qin fell silent.
"What? Did you get locked up for frying fish again?"
Qin shook her head and denied it, saying, "No, it's not that... It seems she has developed a new bomb and has secretly run off to play somewhere. I can't find her for the time being."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Falgar shook his head and made a "tsk tsk" sound of admiration.
“Well, it seems we might not see Klee today.” Falgar turned around and said to Kitakawa with a hint of apology.
"It's alright. We'll be stationed in Mondstadt from now on, responsible for liaising with you and handling other matters. There will be plenty of opportunities."
Hokusawa wasn't too bothered by this; he simply silently noted down the information revealed in the conversation between Falga and Qin.
Information 1: Spark Knight likes to fry fish.
Information 2: Spark Knight will be put in solitary confinement for frying fish.
Information 3: The Spark Knights, who are suspected of having a penchant for developing new bombs, possibly including new explosive formulas.
Information 4: Spark Knight seems to enjoy adventure.
Huh? So that means...
A flash of understanding crossed Bei Haichuan's eyes.
He seemed to understand what the huge "terrain repair fee" specially approved by the authorities for activities in Mondstadt was for.
Maybe... it was specifically designed for Spark Knight to blast fish and conduct explosion experiments?
If they leased a lake specifically for this fisherman, then Spark Knight wouldn't be locked up, right?
Given this, would Spark Knight agree to come and work here permanently?
It seems feasible!
Even though this person enjoys adventure, there are always times when he needs to rest and times when he needs to develop new bombs.
They can provide the materials and the venue!
Doesn't this perfectly align with their idea of developing explosives?
Isn't this a perfect match?
"If you want to set up a research institute in Mondstadt, then talk to Jean in detail. It will be good for Jean to get familiar with the work as soon as possible. I won't interfere."
Falgar yawned and turned to leave.
"Oh, by the way," Falga said without turning his head as he walked outside, "As for Abedo, you can have Qin take you to visit him. I think you'll definitely have something in common to talk about."
Qin remained in the reception room, sighing helplessly as she rubbed her forehead: "Commander, you're going to dump all the work on me again so I can slack off."
"Hey, how can you say that? This is to help you get used to the role of acting group leader in advance..."
Falga's voice grew fainter and fainter, leaving only Qin and Beihaichuan staring at each other in bewilderment.
"Hello, Director Qin, if you have some time now, why don't we go and pay a visit to Mr. Abedo?"
“You’re too kind, Mr. Beihai. Of course, please follow me. However, Abedo doesn’t like too many irrelevant people bothering him, so it would be best if your entourage stayed here. The Knights will take care of the reception.”
"I understand."
Afterwards, Hokkaido Kawakami had a brief conversation with the few people who had come with him, and then left the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius with Jean.
On the way, Qin began to introduce Mondstadt to the people of Hokkaido.
