MM Racing Chapter 429 Noelle
Chapter 429 Noelle
Ye Li looked at the maid knight holding a broom in front of him, who seemed to be coming from the direction of the teleportation anchor point, and smiled helplessly:
"Ms. Noelle, this is actually my second time in Mondstadt. I am quite familiar with this road."
When the silver-gray-haired girl heard what Ye Li said, her eyes froze for a moment, but she quickly reacted and said with a slightly red face:
"Um... I'm sorry, sir. I came to help without knowing the situation clearly. I wonder if I disturbed you."
"You don't have to apologize, Miss Noelle. Although this is not my first time in Mondstadt, I have heard of your helpfulness. I should express my gratitude for your helping hand."
Seeing Noelle's reserved and quick to apologize reaction, Ye Li hurriedly stopped her. As the first protagonist of the novice card pool when he was still a traveler, and a kind and simple person, Ye Li would not let her suffer any grievances for no reason, even if it was what she thought was wrong.
Just like that, under Ye Li's offensive of words one after another, Noel also put down the burden in his heart, and the two of them got to know each other.
However, Noel still emphasized that Ye Li had only been to Mondstadt twice and must be unfamiliar with some places, so he volunteered to take Ye Li for a walk and talk until they approached the city gate.
The knight Lawrence who was guarding the gate did not stop her when he saw this. After all, Noelle's reputation was there, and no dangerous person could withstand her fists.
As for Ye Li's identity, Lawrence still remembered it. After all, his relatives' elders were also sent away by the Wangsheng Hall. He had some understanding of this guest official who opened a branch in Mondstadt, so he was able to let him pass safely.
When he arrived in Mondstadt, Ye Li looked at everything in the city with some emotion.
This is the nth time that I have lamented the huge difference between the game and reality. Compared to the small village-sized city in the game, the real Mondstadt covers an area of 1/3 the size of the super lake, Fruit Wine Lake.
Even though it is only 1/3 of the size, its area is much larger than the average major city of Liyue.
After all, this is Mondstadt's only main city. The area and size of other cities are only 1/2 of it, and this is still under good environmental conditions.
When Ye Li came to Mondstadt, he had conducted a local survey and was very familiar with the environment and geography.
As for the Wind Dragon Ruins, that truly ruined city comparable to Liyue Harbor, Ye Li had taken the time to take a look at it. It was similar to the environment he had encountered in the main time and space, with the exception of the buildings being a little more dilapidated, but there were not many other differences.
Just as Ye Li was still lamenting the gap between fantasy and reality, Noel brought Ye to the best and cheapest hotel in Mond City.
When Noel opened the door of the hotel, everyone in the hotel and the service staff greeted him with smiles. Even the owner of the hotel came over when he heard the news.
Watching the girl's shy but very skillful conversation, Ye Li did not disturb her. He just took a bag of Mora and put it on the counter, chatted with the waitress at the hotel counter for a few words, and went upstairs after booking a room.
After putting away his luggage, Ye Li turned his head to look at the girl standing in front of the guest room door, took out something that looked like a medal from the box he had placed on the ground, walked up to Noelle, and said with a smile:
"Ms. Noelle, thank you for helping me find a suitable hotel. This medal is a token of my gratitude for your help. If you are in danger, you can try to put it on your chest. Maybe a miracle will happen."
Noelle looked at the gray-haired boy in front of her who was calm, gentle and smiling. Her face, which was already slightly red because of the praise and gratitude, turned even redder, but her eyes were soon attracted by the rose medal in Ye Li's hand.
However, although it was attractive, Noel did not take it. As a reserve of the Knights of Favonius, that is, a trainee candidate, helping others is the duty of the Knights of Favonius. If he really wants to express gratitude, a verbal thank you is enough. He will not take gifts casually.
Seeing that the girl was so shy and restrained, Ye Li's attitude also toughened up a little. After all, the hotel he stayed in when he came to Mond before was very expensive. Although he was not short of money now, a loss was still a loss.
Now that he can find a hotel with much better decoration than the previous one and it is also cheaper, it would go against the principles in Ye Li's heart if he doesn't express his gratitude.
As the saying goes, a drop of water is repaid with a spring of water. Although it depends on the situation to determine whether the person who helps you is good or bad, after all, others have helped you solve a problem, so it is reasonable to give some thanks and help. It just depends on whether the amount given is a lot.
In the end, Noel accepted the rose medal given by Ye Li and left the hotel.
Seeing that he was the only one left in the room, Ye Li kicked his feet, flipped in the air, and skillfully lay down on the soft sofa in the guest room. He turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, silently calculating the time in his heart, waiting for the arrival of one of the wind god's followers.
……
The golden red afterglow of the setting sun enveloped Mondstadt. After walking around half of Mondstadt, Sora and Paimon sat down in the Deer Hunter Restaurant with tired faces. The two of them looked completely listless, which made someone who happened to be there for dinner glance at them.
"Strange, why do I feel a chill on my back?"
Paimon wiped his hands and noticed someone was staring at him. He turned his head and saw a young man in black, white and blue robe with long gray hair staring at them. There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and especially when he looked at him, there was a little bit of imperceptible resentment.
Ye Li stared at Paimeng. This little thing had done him a great harm in the turbulence of time. Naturally, he remembered it when he saw him now.
But after thinking for a moment, that little bit of grudge disappeared. This was all thanks to Paimon. He was lucky enough to come to this parallel time point that was very close to the main line of the game. Otherwise, the unknowns in other time and space would be difficult to control. He was self-aware of this.
After all, a butterfly that can stir up a storm and flies to multiple places will inevitably end up in an unexpected situation.
Rather than allowing multiple time and space to fall into terrible uncontrollable factors, Ye Li still chose to be very conservative and not interfere too much. One or two time and space are enough, and he can still control it.
"Hey, hey, hey! You rude guy over there, why are you staring at me? Believe it or not, I'm going to bite you."
Noticing that Ye Li's resentful eyes had disappeared and instead looked gentle, Paimeng could conclude that there was something wrong with this man. He then whispered something to Kong, and then spoke to Ye Li with a fierce look on his face.
Seeing that Kong was looking serious, Ye Li smiled helplessly, walked towards the counter of the Deer Hunter Restaurant, took out a bag of Mora, pointed it at Kong and the others and said:
"Okay, I'll treat you to the food on this table. Consider it my apology for that impolite girl."
As soon as these words were spoken, Kong and Paimon were immediately confused.
Especially Paimeng, who was pointed at by Ye Li with a smile on his face, was floating in the air at a loss until Ye Li approached her. She reacted and hurriedly tried to hide behind Kong for protection, but a big hand grabbed her skillfully, and she didn't even need to fly.
Kong originally wanted to stop him, but the emotion in Ye Li's eyes stopped him, because the way he looked at Paimon was exactly like looking at a family member he hadn't seen for a long time, without any malice at all.
It was like I had known Paimon for a long time, and was so familiar with him that I couldn’t be more familiar with him.
