Otherwise, a portion of "Mom's Cooking" could be passed off as braised Stormterror, costing only 5 raw stones. However, it wouldn't come with any buffs, just the taste.
"In that case, I'll have the Wave Rider Pie," Eula's lips curved slightly, intending to teach this owner a lesson.
Wave Rider Pie, Eula's special dish, a personalized Moon Pie.
[Ding! You have a new commission!]
"No problem." Hearing that beautiful sound, Chen Luo's face also broke into a smile.
As long as I have enough raw stones, I'll pull down the Heavenly Principles and cook them for you.
"Wait, wait, why does she get free appetizers and I don't? I'm the one who brought this customer to you, Chen Luo, you can't be so heartless." Just as Chen Luo turned to go to the small kitchen, Venti quickly called out to him.
At this moment, Venti's face was filled with a pitiable expression.
"What are you talking about? When have I ever charged you for wine or food?" Chen Luo had to turn around and look at Venti helplessly.
Come on, this tavern of mine is free, I've never charged anyone... Actually, I did charge Venti one Mora, and Theresa 1000 yen.
"Th-that's true..." Venti, reminded by Chen Luo, finally realized.
Having almost gotten away with it for free just now, Venti, who was accustomed to freeloading, was instantly dumbfounded.
"No, to be honest, you didn't receive a commission from her to eat the Wave Rider Pie, and you're going to give it to her for free? Why don't you give me appetizers when I don't have a commission, but you give her appetizers when she doesn't have a commission?" But then Venti remembered the rules of the tavern and started complaining again.
"Alright, alright, aren't you just wanting appetizers? Here, here, consider it payment for helping me attract customers for free." Chen Luo raised his right hand to interrupt Venti.
"Then I want peanuts and edamame."
"Okay, okay."
There was only one way to shut Venti up: let him freeload.
"This tavern doesn't charge money?" Eula felt a bit concerned about this.
Such a rule could easily lead to unpleasant associations.
For example... a shady establishment.
"Although it's strange, you'll get used to it. This place really doesn't charge money. But as payment for helping you find a tavern where you can freeload and has such a good atmosphere, don't you think you should pay me something?" Venti said with a grin.
"Hmm, can I freeload for now? Putting that aside, the atmosphere is quite nice, so what kind of payment do you want?" Eula looked at Venti.
"Chat with the owner more often, come to this tavern often, and drink me dry!" Venti stated his requested payment.
"Huh???" Eula initially thought she had misheard Venti's request.
"You didn't mishear. Simply put, you come and drink with the owner, and don't let him bother me." Venti nodded solemnly.
This Chen Luo is so weak, always coming to me for commissions. Now I've brought him a walking commission poster, can he finally leave me alone?
"Are you fooling me? Or are you using my name and identity to get revenge on this tavern's owner? I'll remember this grudge."
Hearing this, Eula even thought Venti wanted her, the descendant of a sinner, to constantly come here and annoy the owner.
"No, haven't you realized? This isn't Mondstadt anymore." After taking a sip of wine from his cup, Venti stretched and said to Eula.
"How is that possible?" Eula retorted subconsciously.
Eula had just entered this tavern from a small alley.
"How is it impossible? Have you ever heard of this tavern in Mondstadt before? And in Mondstadt, where people love to drink, isn't this deserted tavern rather unusual? Or do you think it's normal for everyone else to ignore you and treat you like a stranger?"
Venti pointed to Theresa and the Herrscher of Knowledge sitting at the next table.
Admittedly, Eula was persuaded by Venti, especially by the last reason.
Moreover, when Eula looked out the not-so-large small window, she also found that the outside didn't look like the familiar Mondstadt, but a chaotic void.
Just then, Chen Luo also came out of the kitchen, holding two plates. One plate contained the peanuts and edamame Venti wanted, and the other contained the special dish Eula had ordered.
"So fast?" Eula was surprised.
"If I made it normally, it wouldn't be this fast. I just gave up on myself," Chen Luo said lazily.
In this bar, making a normal dish normally only costs 0.1 raw stones, but if you want the tavern to make the dish itself, you can, as long as the price is doubled.
"This is truly a magical tavern..." Eula exclaimed when she tasted the Wave Rider Pie, which tasted exactly the same as the one she made.
"Boss, I heard from this bard that this tavern isn't located in Mondstadt City?" Eula looked up and asked Chen Luo.
"You could say that. As long as you've been here once, you can enter from anywhere," Chen Luo nodded.
"Then you don't recognize me either?" Eula pointed to herself.
"No, I actually do know you. Eula Lawrence, the Spindrift Knight, descendant of the Lawrence family, known as the descendant of sinners, captain of the Knights of Favonius's reconnaissance team, who likes to bathe in the lake at the foot of Dragonspine..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Eula quickly stopped Chen Luo from continuing.
"What's wrong? Am I wrong?" Chen Luo looked at her confusedly.
Although he hadn't played Genshin Impact for a while, at least he shouldn't have forgotten about bathing in the lake at the foot of Dragonspine.
"It's not that you're wrong, but rather, how do you know so much? Did you go to Dragonspine..." Eula looked at Chen Luo with wide eyes.
Could this guy have peeked at me while I was bathing?
Who in their right mind goes to Dragonspine?
"No, I haven't. I've never even been to Mondstadt. I just happen to know these facts," Chen Luo shook his head.
"Then how do you know... all this?"
"You could say the tavern told me."
"Then, shopkeeper, as someone who isn't from Mondstadt and knows about me, what do you think of my status as a sinner...?" Eula asked after a moment of silence.
"You are you, and your ancestors are your ancestors. Why should you bear the mistakes your ancestors made?" Chen Luo waved his hand.
Chen Luo wasn't from Mondstadt anyway, so he had no reservations about saying that.
"..." Eula fell silent.
This was a perspective Eula had never heard before.
Even Amber would say something more like, "Eula can earn recognition through her own efforts!"
It was novel, but it felt very comfortable to hear.
"However, to put it another way, having enjoyed the support of your family, you will, more or less, inherit a portion of their sins. In my opinion, as long as you repay the sins you bear due to the grace of your upbringing, you can live in Mondstadt without any burdens. At least, you'll have a clear conscience."
It was perfectly normal to project one's anger onto others. If Chen Luo were in the same situation, he might have done the same.
Hmm, for example, dogs are rare!
Probably...
Chapter 64: Wine of the Anemo Archon and Wine of the Geo Archon
"So... do you mind if I continue to come here for drinks? I quite like this tavern. But a magical tavern like this probably has requirements for its customers, right?" Eula asked.
Moreover, the shopkeeper's objective perspective was also very novel for Eula.
Drinking was a habit for Mondstadters, and Eula was no exception, but she didn't particularly enjoy being in crowded taverns.
After all, being constantly looked at with strange and rejecting eyes, even drinking wouldn't be enjoyable, would it?
Furthermore, upon hearing that the tavern wasn't located in Mondstadt, Eula felt as if a great mountain had been lifted from her heart.
Eula wouldn't talk about pressure to others, but that didn't mean she didn't feel it.
And for a magical tavern like this, if it didn't have certain entry qualifications, Eula wouldn't believe it.
[Ding! You have a new commission!]
[Eula's Tavern]
Reward: 50 Raw Stones + Random Weapon
Difficulty: Two Stars
"Yes, I'd be delighted," Chen Luo smiled at Eula very happily.
"...Thank you."
It was something she should have been happy about, but the other person seemed even happier than she was.
It was strange...
This made Eula, who had always been viewed with strange eyes, feel very conflicted at the moment. After all, this was the first time she had experienced feeling welcomed.
Hmm, they're trying to embarrass me in an unexpected way to see me make a fool of myself...
I'll remember this grudge!
[Ding! Mission Complete]
[Obtained Greatsword (Sword of Descending Dragon Blood)]
"..."
"Ah... Shopkeeper, why are you looking at me like that?" Eula felt a bit uncomfortable seeing Chen Luo staring intently at her.
Eula wasn't actually uncomfortable with people staring at her. After all, she endured countless gazes filled with mockery, contempt, and disdain every day. But Chen Luo's gaze was different, it was complex.
Eula had originally intended to call Chen Luo "A'Luo," but the words felt too embarrassing to say.
"Eula, have you ever heard of the Sword of Descending Dragon Blood?"
"No," Eula shook her head.
"Then have you heard of the Royal Greatsword?"
"I know of that one. My family has one," Eula nodded.
"How about the Song of the Broken Pines?"
"That's my sword. What's wrong? Are you very interested?"
"No, not interested," Chen Luo shook his head.
"Then why are you asking?"
"I was just thinking..."
Why were there so many greatswords, and yet he would obtain this specific one?
It's not that the sword is bad, it's just...
[Sword of Descending Dragon Blood]: It is said to be a greatsword forged from steel that a northern hero bathed in dragon blood, possessing divine power that makes it impervious to blades and spears... this protection does not extend to the person wielding it.
Skill: Damage dealt to dragon-type creatures is constantly increased by 50%, and it possesses a certain suppression attribute.
Where would Chen Luo find dragon-type creatures?
Baby Dragons?
But this doesn't seem to be the same as the skills in the game...
How should I put it? After changing its attributes, this sword seems to have become stronger, and yet also stranger.
And after collecting this sword...
Unsheathed Sword, Dragon Slaying Handbook, Elf Bow, Sword of Descending Dragon Blood. He was only one spear away from completing the Genshin Impact all-weapons achievement.
"Come on, Eula, can you shake my hand? Let's consider it a token of friendship?" Chen Luo extended his hand to Eula.
"Hm? A token of friendship? Strange person. Regardless, I'll remember this debt." Although she said that, Eula felt Chen Luo's goodwill and shook his hand.
Furthermore, making an ordinary friend so easily was an extremely novel experience for Eula.
While it couldn't compare to a good friend like Amber, ordinary friends were also extremely rare individuals for Eula.
For Eula, the world was divided into three types of people: Amber and a very small number of others, those who weren't particularly unfriendly to her, and everyone else.
Now, there was a new category: ordinary friends.
