Although he had a smile on his face, everyone knew that Jiang Mu's heart was anything but calm.
“Of course there is an explanation,” Frederica Gunnhild quickly replied, glancing at the piano.
"Qin, you can go down now."
"Yes." Although she was a little worried, Qin nodded, went out, and closed the door behind her.
"Now, we can have a proper talk."
As he spoke, Jiang Mu sat down in the chair next to him and just looked at the head of the Gunnhild family.
"I think you'll give me a satisfactory answer, right?"
………………
About half an hour later, Jiang Mu, along with Xi'er and Xiao Hei, left the Gunnhild family feeling refreshed and satisfied.
And from this point on, the conclusion drawn from Frederica Gunnhildr's words is...
"Anyway, I regret it, I really regret it..."
As for what they actually talked about, and what secret they reached...
We don't know.
(Perhaps we'll find out later?)
"Captain, what you just did..."
Xi'er looked at Jiang Mu and said somewhat cautiously.
"It's alright." Jiang Mu patted the little guy's head.
"In this way, you'll have a convenient backer when you're operating here."
Previously, Jiang Mu had already discussed with Xi'er and Xiao Hei about their next moves.
After hearing that Jiang Mu wanted to travel to Liyue with the Traveler, the two thought for a moment and then decided to stay in Mondstadt.
As for the reason, the two of them explained it after Jiang Mu asked them.
"Because if you can't make it out there, just come back to Mondstadt. We can afford to support you."
These are Xiao Hei's exact words.
"You guys..."
Jiang Mu was both amused and exasperated.
He was about to mention that he owned a business in Liyue, but he gave up after seeing the two people's bright eyes.
Just like the old saying goes, one man can't eat two mouths...
Cough cough...
However, the deal he just made with Frederica Gunnhild also involved some things about them.
For example, during their time in Mondstadt, the Gunnhildr family was responsible for the personal safety of the two individuals.
Note that personal safety here is not limited to physical safety, but also includes a range of safety aspects such as mental health.
For example, if Seele and Blackie were walking down the street and were harassed by some clueless jerk, they certainly wouldn't be in a good mood...
Therefore, it's time for the Gunnhildr family to step in...
Although Seele and Blackie aren't afraid of trouble, too many bedbugs... can definitely affect their mood, right...?
It can be said that the Gunnhild family was in a very passive position in this transaction.
But there's nothing they can do; they're the ones who need their help now...
………………
"In this generation, apart from Jean, none of the younger generation in the Gunnhildr family have received the attention of the gods or obtained the Eye of God..."
"And then there's Byron, my eldest son, who is utterly incompetent..."
At this point, Frederica Gunnhild gave a wry smile and continued speaking to Jiang Mu.
"It's all thanks to you that you taught him a lesson a few days ago, which has made him behave himself recently..."
"so……"
Having said that, Jiang Mu had gained some understanding.
"The purpose of adopting these two young ladies as goddaughters is twofold: firstly, to stop outsiders from gossiping about the Gunnhild family; and secondly, to have them urge the younger generation of the Gunnhild family to shoulder the responsibilities of their generation..."
"And what are your opinions?"
Jiang Mu ignored Frederica Gunnhildr's pleading gaze and instead looked at Seele and the other person.
You're kidding. He might have had a little acquaintance with Jean, but do you really think he can use that acquaintance to tie her to the Gunnhild family's pirate ship?
Don't even think about it.
Not to mention the people around him.
"I have no objection."
But to Jiang Mu's surprise, Xiao Hei shrugged and agreed.
Seele, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.
"Me too."
"Okay then."
Although he had some doubts, Jiang Mu chose to respect their decision.
Of course, after that, Seele and Xiao Hei told Jiang Mu the reason...
………………
After spending a few days in Mondstadt and confirming that the Gungnird family wouldn't make any excessive demands on Seele and Blackie, Jiang Mu decided to pack his bags and head to Liyue with Ying.
"You already know how to use teleportation anchors, right?"
Jiang Mu said to Xi'er and the other person.
“It’s already been used, no problem.” Seele nodded.
“And this too.” Jiang Mu pulled out two “glass balls”.
"This is a storage device; you can put some of your items here."
These two "glass balls" are the "eyes of God" that Jiang Mu specifically asked Wendy for. However, unlike the eyes of God that Jean and others have, the two in Jiang Mu's hands cannot control elemental power; they are merely storage items.
Even without using elemental power, Seele and her companion are incredibly powerful.
For example, when Seven Fists broke through the Sea of Quanta...
(Seele: Author, shall we talk?)
(Author: No! Don't come any closer!!!)
(Seele: Slurp~~~~)
………………
"The Eye of God?" Xiao Hei took it, played with it for a while, and looked at Jiang Mu.
Having been in this world for some time now, she naturally knows about some of the power systems here and has also met some people with the Eye of God.
"These are just some trinkets I got my hands on," Jiang Mu shook his head slightly. "Although they look like the Eye of God, they only have the ability to store things."
"The product is good and very convenient. We'll accept it."
Xiao Hei, who was extremely confident in her own strength, was quite satisfied with Jiang Mu's arrangement. What elemental power? My own strength is the only way to win!
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Mu took out a whole bunch of different kinds of things with all sorts of strange uses and handed them to the two of them.
"call……"
After giving them all his stock, Jiang Mu breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Take a look, is there anything else missing?"
"Okay, okay... really..."
Xiao Hei was somewhat amused and exasperated. He stepped forward and gently leaned into Jiang Mu's arms.
"We're not ordinary people who can't protect ourselves, so don't worry..."
"Ugh... Little Black, you ran away again!"
Seeing the two being so intimate, Xi'er felt a little jealous. She snuggled into Jiang Mu's arms like Xiao Hei and whispered something.
"Captain, you've prepared more than enough for us. Go ahead and rest assured, we'll take good care of ourselves."
"Hey, hey, hey..." Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu's face darkened.
"Hearing that makes me feel like I'm about to pass away soon..."
"whee……"
