GBP Chapter 168 Dala?
Chapter 168 Dala?
The Hilichurl, somewhat confused by Paimon's language, asked, "Dala? (Who?)"
If Huiyuan were here, she would definitely have had Tongzi translate the meaning of that sentence, but unfortunately, Huiyuan is not here.
Hilichurls have a slightly hoarse voice, but they pronounce words very well and with great emotion.
Even so, Paimon still couldn't understand a word Paimon uttered. So he timidly took a half-step back and pinned his hopes on Ying.
Helpless, Ying tentatively spoke the Hilichurl language she had learned while doing adventure quests.
"Vin plata dada! (Wine tool, strongest)" In layman's terms: Your wine barrel lid is the strongest defensive tool.
The Hilichurl seemed to understand what Luminous meant and replied, "Mosi mita! (Happy!)" In other words: That's right! My shield is strong!
Seeing that the Hilichurl was in a stable mood, Luminous took out a Sweet Flower and continued to probe.
"This sweet flower is for you."
"Mosi mita! (Happy!)" In plain language: Thank you for the gift!
The Hilichurl happily accepted the Luminous Sweet Flower and began to dance.
Upon seeing the Hilichurls, but without handing over the barrel lid, Ying scratched his head and began using body language.
"Wendy, sing. Shield, give me."
Wendy was taken aback, but had no choice but to take out her piano and start playing.
"Hmm? Okay, then I'll play a little bit..."
After the performance ended, the Hilichurls happily started dancing again.
"Mosi mita (So nice!)"
After the dance, the Hilichurl said, "Muhe vin plata? Mani ye! Mani dada! (You like alcohol? Here you go! Take the strongest!)" In simpler terms: You like this shield with the strongest defense and attack? Okay, here you go! Take it, the strongest "Shield of Radiant Will"!
After speaking, the Hilichurl handed the shield to Luminous and began to dance on the spot.
Although he didn't know what was said, Paimon celebrated because the result was correct.
"Yay! It handed me the 'Shield of Radiant Will'!"
Ying handed the barrel lid to Jack, who gratefully replied, "Thank you, thank you! I found what I was looking for! Mom and Dad! Look at the amazing artifact I found!"
After thanking him, Jack excitedly ran off in a flash.
Seeing Jack suddenly run away, Wendy panicked and said, "Hey? Wait! What about the wine? I've helped you so much, you must be tired."
As she spoke, Wendy looked at someone who had been hiding behind a tree.
"—Hmm? Isn't this Stanley? Are you here for a walk?"
After being discovered, Stanley walked out with a smile.
"Ah, hahaha, isn't this the bard! What a coincidence, you're here for a stroll too?"
"Yes, we went out for a walk after dinner and helped a friend find something."
Seeing Stanley's suspicious expression, Paimon whispered something to Ying.
"I'm increasingly convinced that Mr. Stanley might be a fraud..."
Ying retorted, "It's not a possibility, it's a certainty."
"So Stanley deliberately came here ahead of time to set up the sword and shield so as not to hurt Jack's feelings?"
Hearing Paimon's guess, Courteney suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! The scent on the 'Sword of Glorious Courage' and the 'Shield of Radiant Will'...it's Stanley's scent! No wonder it smelled so familiar...As expected of Lord Barbatos, he discovered Stanley before I did."
Ignoring the three children's whispers, Wendy continued talking to Stanley.
"Great adventurers must be very familiar with Dadaupa Valley, right? After all, this is where you fought."
"Of course, of course, I could walk all over this place with my eyes closed!"
Seeing that the other person was bragging with their eyes closed, Wendy also closed her eyes and started praising them.
"I see. I really admire your memory and perseverance."
"I'm a great adventurer, of course! But you guys, there are many Hilichurls here, so don't let your guard down! Well, goodbye then, young people."
After warning him to be careful, Stanley hurriedly left, his steps faltering.
Watching the other person's departing figure, Paimon crossed his arms and said, "He really is very guilty."
Wendy shrugged. "Well, what can you do? He made that boast to Jack. But... watching it again is really interesting. Someone who doesn't want to forget the 'past' and abandons the 'present'... if he's forced to take his first step 'towards the future,' in what direction will he step?"
Paimon was baffled by Wendy's cryptic remarks.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Haha, just talking to myself. By the way, everyone. Tonight, let's go check out 'The Gift of Angels'."
Back in Mondstadt, Luminous and Paimon temporarily parted ways with Wendy and Courteney, deciding to wait until evening to check on Stanley's situation.
Wendy took Courteney for a walk.
As Wendy walked, an idea arose in his mind that he would never have dared to have in his life.
"Little Courtney, shall we go pet the cat?"
Courtney looked at Wendy with a puzzled expression, tilting her head.
"But Lord Barbatos, aren't you allergic to cat fur?"
Wendy gently wiped her nose, pointed to Courtney's backpack, and said, "Isn't that your magical spray? This is a rare opportunity, I'd like to experience the joy of petting a cat too."
Courtney's ears twitched, and she blushed, remembering that she was a cat.
Upon seeing this, Wendy quickly waved her hand.
"Oh dear, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about Cat Tail Tavern."
"Is that right?"
"Yes, yes. Look, we've arrived."
Wendy's nose started to itch as she sneezed through the doors of the Cattail Tavern.
"Achoo! Courtney, quick...quick, use that on me."
"okay."
"Thank you, that's much better."
Wendy slammed through the door, took her seat with practiced ease, and ordered a drink.
"Hehe, I'd like a 'Cat Tail Special'!"
Upon hearing the words "Cat Tail Special," Courtney's tail twitched and she shivered.
"Cat Tail Special"? No, it's not a bar made with cat tails...?
Just then, a pair of orange, black, and white cat ears peeked out from behind the bar.
With a twitch of its ears, it moved a few steps to the left and stepped onto the stairs, revealing its full head.
The catgirl Diona is still a minor. She hates alcohol and drunkards, but because of a certain spring spirit, the drinks she mixes always taste delicious, no matter what dark ingredients she puts in them.
Diona frowned and looked at Wendy and Courteney beside her.
"Well, you cunning bard, you actually brought a child along!"
