Chapter 394: Can You Fix Windows?
After keeping Jianna’s matter in mind, Bai Luo stepped outside.
However, the one on duty at the gate today wasn’t Luke, but another guard who looked rather sharp.
"Hm? Where’s Luke?" Seeing the unfamiliar guard, Bai Luo asked.
That guy couldn’t have been slacking off, right?
"Oh, Luke suddenly lost his mind or something. He hugged a chair and gnawed on it for quite a while—while sprinkling pepper on it too. The Counselor thought the Stormterror might’ve scared something loose in his head, so he had someone send him off for treatment."
"..."
A true warrior—he actually managed to bite into it.
Bai Luo appreciated the spirit, but didn’t recommend the behavior.
For someone a bit slow in the head like that, guarding the gate was probably the most suitable job.
Shaking his head slightly, Bai Luo didn’t call for Jianna and instead headed alone toward the Knights of Favonius.
"Lord Ausbilder, what brings you here?"
The two knights on guard at the entrance gave a formal salute before asking.
No matter how tense the relationship between the Fatui and the Knights currently was, Bai Luo was still, on the surface, an envoy. They had to show proper respect.
"I have business with Acting Grand Master Jean. Is she in her office?"
Was Jean in her office?
As the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, where else would she be?
If one had to answer that question... she was everywhere.
Even the Fatui Counselor Anastasia knew to delegate tasks to her subordinates, but Jean handled everything personally.
She had even once collapsed at her desk from exhaustion.
Perhaps as a knight, she was qualified.
But as a leader, she had failed.
It had to be said that she reminded Bai Luo of someone from his memories.
That person was also a knight, someone who abandoned all personal desires and emotions for the sake of their ideals—a complete self-sacrificing individual.
She believed she had to meet her people’s expectations and devote everything to them.
Yet such devotion could never truly save them.
In the end, she was judged as someone who didn’t understand human hearts.
"The Grand Master isn’t here. Please come again another day." Without hesitation, the guarding knight gave his reply.
"Is that so? The Knights of Favonius, famed for humility and honesty—yet lying comes so naturally to you?"
Did Bai Luo really not know whether Jean was inside?
If he didn’t have actual business today, would he even bother greeting them?
After all, aside from his own residence, he rarely used doors.
Weren’t windows much more convenient?
"Y-you... not here means not here. Please come again another day, Lord Ausbilder."
The knight was clearly displeased by Bai Luo’s sarcasm, but considering his status, he couldn’t say much.
As for matters concerning Acting Grand Master Jean, Kaeya had already briefed them beforehand:
If anyone from the Fatui came to visit her—no matter the reason—simply say she wasn’t in.
"Alright then. By the way... do your people know how to fix windows?"
Seeing their firm stance, Bai Luo relented.
But before leaving, he asked this question.
"Fix windows? If it’s just that, then yes, we can handle it."
The guard’s expression eased noticeably after hearing this.
So he just needed something repaired?
"Good."
Bai Luo nodded slightly and looked up toward the direction of the Knights’ office.
And then—
Crash—!
With a casual flick, he hurled a dagger attached to a steel wire, shattering the office window.
And under the stunned gazes of the two knights, he used the wire to pull himself straight into the office.
Inside the office, Jean had already drawn her sword. But when she saw that the one who entered was Bai Luo, her expression turned somewhat strange.
"Good morning, Acting Grand Master Jean." Landing on her desk, Bai Luo raised a hand and greeted her.
By now, almost all of the higher-ups in the Knights of Favonius had been "marked" by Bai Luo.
Whether Jean was in her office or not—he knew better than anyone.
That was precisely why he chose to enter in this manner.
"Lord Ausbilder, your way of visiting is as improper as ever."
Looking at Bai Luo standing on her desk, Jean made no effort to hide her displeasure.
At the same time, she heightened her guard.
Because his actions looked very much like someone tearing all pretense of diplomacy apart with the Knights.
"I couldn’t help it. I originally planned to come through the front door, but those two at the entrance said you weren’t here, so I had no choice but to take this approach. Besides..."
Brushing shards of glass off himself, Bai Luo casually sat down in Jean’s seat.
"Before coming in, I already asked them—they’re quite good at fixing windows. We can leave the repairs to them afterward."
Hmm... the seat was still warm, and carried a faint fragrance.
"Is that so?"
Jean’s brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this.
It seemed she wasn’t aware of Kaeya’s arrangements.
"Why not ask them yourself?"
Glancing at the time, Bai Luo raised a hand and pointed toward the office entrance.
Right then, the two knights guarding the gate arrived.
"G-Grand Master!"
After rushing into the office and seeing Jean’s displeased expression, the two stood stiffly together, hardly daring to breathe.
"Return to your posts. I expect a reasonable explanation afterward."
Jean was familiar with these two knights and knew they weren’t the type to lie casually.
After weighing the situation, she decided not to punish them immediately and would investigate the matter later.
"Then... what about him...?"
One of the guards mustered the courage to ask, glancing at Bai Luo, who was still sitting in Jean’s seat.
"The Harbinger from Snezhnaya is our guest. I do not wish to see something like this happen again. Understood?"
"Yes, ma’am!"
With Jean’s word given, the two could only reluctantly salute and leave the room.
Based on their understanding of their Acting Grand Master, the responsibility for fixing the window would probably fall on them in the end.
Sigh... why did we have to brag about knowing how to fix windows?
"Now then, Mr. Ausbilder, what brings you here in such a manner? If it concerns the dragon crisis, I suggest you spare your words. Its true identity is something you likely understand better than any of us."
If Ausbilder truly had the kind of schemes Diluc suspected, then there was no way he didn’t know Stormterror’s true identity.
"The dragon crisis? That’s Anastasia’s concern. I’ve come today for something else."
"And what might that be?"
Jean’s guard was fully up now.
"As a matter of fact, I received a letter today. The sender’s name is Alice."
