Chapter 50: Seamus Pegg,The Cardinal of Daybreak

As Diluk announced the start of the banquet, the atmosphere of the banquet was pushed to its climax.

Servants filed in and brought wine and food to the scene.

Compared with the guests, they could not enjoy themselves. Fortunately, after the banquet, Master Diluk would give them enough time to have a private party, which also made them full of energy.

Moreover, even the head maid Adeline, who rarely showed up, came out in person to control the scene.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but this head maid named Adelinde looks very similar to Catherine from the Adventurer's Association.

It's terrifying to think about it.

"Long time no see, Master Diluk. It was a great dinner. Oh... No, I should call you Master now. After all, Crepus is gone, hahaha."

"..."

Crepus is Diluk's father.

Krober's words and deeds were simply adding fuel to the fire. Even Diluk, who had a slight smile on his face, now looked unhappy.

Because according to his investigation, his father's death had something to do with the Fatui and Krober.

In the three years since his father's death, he has been sending invitations to Krober, just to get some information from him about the past.

"Is your seneschal here for this dinner? I have something to ask him. Bring him to see me!"

[A/N: Seneschal is a synonym of Cardinal]

If Krober came here alone, he would not dare to be so arrogant.

Because the seneschal of the Favonius Church is not someone that a small character like him can dispatch at will.

He is one of the highest-ranking people in Mondstadt.

"If the Fatui gave you the confidence to be rude, then I will throw you out to feed the slimes as the owner of the Dawn Winery, Mr. Krober."

Diluk's ruby-like eyes were already a little angry. But he also maintained some rationality in his anger. At least he did not do these things in the name of Mondstadt.

The cold eyes made Krober lose his previous arrogance in an instant.

"Of course... I don't want to see Seneschal Seamus."

Considering the direct gap between himself and Diluk, as well as the other party's financial resources, Krober finally gave in.

He gave up his seat and introduced Bai Luo.

"Young Master Diluk, please allow me to formally introduce you. This is the guardian of the entire continent - one of the twelve seats of the [Fatui] Harbinger, the Instructor."

Originally, with Krober's character, he would definitely brag about a lot of titles.

Unfortunately, Bai Luo did some shady things before becoming an harbinger.

After becoming a Fatui Harbinger, he did not do anything that shocked the continent.

The only thing he could show off... was the title of the Fatui Harbinger.

But this title was enough to make Mondstadt pay attention to it.

"It's a pleasure to meet you."

Frowning slightly, Diluk was already full of vigilance when he looked at Bai Luo again.

Although he was far away in Mondstadt, he knew more about the [Instructor] than Krober.

At the same time, he also understood that such a character staying in Mondstadt would be a disaster for Mondstadt.

If he wanted to take action against a high-level official...

the consequences would be disastrous.

"No need to bother the owner, Mr. Krober."

Just as Diluk was hesitating whether to let the Cardinal meet such a dangerous person, Seamus Pegg, the highest cardinal of the Favonius Church, who was called [Cardinal of the Daybreak ], had already walked out of the crowd.

Yes, his last name was Pegg.

By the way, his two daughters were named Jean and Barbara.

As the Cardinal of the Favonius Church, Seamus was naturally on Diluk's invitation list.

"Cardinal."

Diluk frowned slightly and cast an inquiring look.

But Seamus just shook his head slightly, indicating that he could leave everything to him.

As the cardinal of the Favonius Church, he was not so weak that he needed a winery owner to protect him.

"I have heard that the Fatui have newly appointed the 12th Harbinger. It is a great honor to meet him today. Unfortunately, I cannot steal the show at Master Diluc's banquet, otherwise I must entertain him and give him a generous gift."

"Giant... generous gift?"

Hearing this word, Krober couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

The gift given by the leader of a religion must be worth a lot of money, right?

"You are too polite. Among the Harbingers, I am also the most insignificant one."

Bai Luo bowed slightly and said, it was just the etiquette of the Snezhnaya.

And his attitude not only did not make Diluc and Seamus relax, but made them alert.

Just like what Alice once said: When a madman knows how to maintain elegance, he will become extremely terrifying.

In their minds, Bai Luo's danger has increased again.

"The [Instructor] is here in person, so he must have something important to discuss. But saying this at the banquet will disturb the fun of others, so why not ask the owner for a convenient place..."

Seamus pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at Diluk next to him.

But before Diluk could speak, Bai Luo spoke first.

"Cardinal Seamus, Master Diluk, you seem to have misunderstood something."

Bai Luo said with a smile, picking up a glass of wine from the table next to him.

"I came to Mondstadt this time to participate in the Ludi Harpastum festival. And I came to the banquet purely for enjoyment. There is no important matter to discuss. Well... the one who really wants to find you should be Krober."

Diluk: "..."

Seamus: "..."

Krober: "???"

Shit! He sold me!

After Bai Luo expressed his attitude, Krober's legs almost went limp.

He was used to pretending to be powerful, and he could remain elegant in front of Diluk and Seamus, mainly because he had Bai Luo's support.

But Bai Luo didn't give him any face.

"Teacher... Instructor, the mission! Don't forget the doctor's mission!"

Krober hurriedly came in front of Bai Luo and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

In fact, he just wanted to use the doctor's name to suppress the other party.

"I know, but I have other missions, and before I came here, the [Doctor] didn't ask me to cooperate with you to do the mission, or... do you want to order me?"

When he said the last sentence, Bai Luo's eyes were already a little murderous.

If he didn't want to embarrass himself, Krober would probably have wet his pants by now because of this look.

"Thank you again for the invitation, Master Diluk. You guys can continue your conversation. Don't worry about me. Just treat me as an ordinary guest."

Bai Luo waved his hand casually, holding the wine in his hand, and re-entered the banquet.

He had already locked on a target, that is, a knight who was drinking alone in a corner and it seemed that not many people were willing to talk to her.

After Bai Luo left, Seamus was relieved. It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid to be alone with a Fatui Harbinger , especially an Harbinger who was good at assassination.

Now that the guy is gone, the remaining Krober will be at their mercy.

"Mr. Krober, I heard that you have something to talk to me? Please come in, let's go to the meeting room prepared by Master Diluk to discuss in detail."

Seamus adjusted his glasses, and a confident smile appeared on his face again.

On the other hand, Krober...

he regretted being so arrogant before.
