"Okay." Catherine nodded, "I can ask someone to contact him now, but it will take a while. Can you tell me what it is?"
"It's okay to tell you that an adventurer named Katis passed away and entrusted us to handle his posthumous affairs. There are some things we need to give to this Bennett."
"Has Katis passed away?" Catherine was a little surprised, but only a little.
Now that you have become an adventurer, you are destined to be accompanied by danger. There are too many such things. Suddenly there is no news, and when you hear it again, you have received news of death.
The adventurers nearby also heard what Hu Tao said, and the lobby of the Adventurers Association was a little noisy for a while.
"Katis? He is actually dead?"
There were many people among them who knew Katis, and upon hearing the news of his death, they felt quite confused.
"I remember the last time I saw him was at the camp in the snowy mountains. I didn't expect to hear news of his death again..."
"Alas, fate plays tricks on people..."
Several people stayed in the Adventurers Association waiting for Bennett to come. Of course, Hu Tao and Jiang Bai would not miss such a good publicity opportunity.
The two of them blended into the group of adventurers who were talking about Katis and joined the conversation very familiarly.
"Are you also friends with Uncle Katis?"
"Are you guys?"
Several adventurers looked at these two people who looked young and did not look like adventurers and looked at each other for a moment.
However, these people were the ones who brought the news of Katis's death, and they did not object to the two joining the conversation.
A man with a beard said, "I'm not really a friend, we just drank together."
"We are from the Hall of the Past. My name is Hutao. Uncle Katis entrusted us to handle his posthumous affairs, deliver relics to his relatives, and asked us to scatter his ashes into the Cider Lake..."
Hu Tao explained the reason for her coming here and handed out the flyers.
"Uncle Katis's business in our Rebirth Hall includes publishing his adventure stories, including the stories about the snow-capped mountains he has explored over the years. You should be able to see them in major bookstores soon..."
While Hu Tao was promoting the Hall of Rebirth, he also promoted a wave of new books that he had only written the beginning of.
Although there are not many people around here, if word spreads, it won't be long before everyone in the entire Mondstadt Adventurers Association knows about it.
In this way, their Rebirth Hall will initially gain some popularity in Mondstadt.
Starting your business in Mondstadt is just around the corner!
"That's right, if you have similar needs, please feel free to contact us at the Rebirth Hall!"
Jiang Bai quickly made up a flyer with his own seal on it. These are all achievements, and Hu Tao can't be monopolized by them!
The adventurer who received the flyer read the contents and laughed twice. Although he felt a little unlucky, he felt like he was being cursed to die early.
But they greeted her with a smile and didn't say anything too harsh. She was still a cute little girl and it was hard to chase people away rudely. They were really curious about what kind of business Katis had done and how she could publish books.
You know, for these adventurers, if their adventures can be written down and passed down to the world, that would be the highest honor for them!
"Katis must have died in the snow-capped mountains! Did he discover some peerless treasure?" Someone's eyes flashed.
"There are no treasures. But Uncle Katis has completely unearthed the history of the ancient country in Snow Mountain, and the reason why Snow Mountain turned into Snow Mountain..." At this point, Hutao smiled mysteriously.
"If you are interested, please pay attention to our upcoming book - "Once Upon a Time in Snow Country"!"
Not to mention, Hu Tao really aroused people's curiosity, and these adventurers all wanted to buy a copy of this book when it was published.
Wendy watched all this from the side and couldn't help but open her mouth.
"It's so awesome..."
If he had such sales skills, would he still be worried about not being able to earn money for drinks?
It's just that this method doesn't work for him. After all, he is a singer, not a salesperson.
Hu Tao and Jiang Bai stopped there, leaving enough room for these adventurers to wait for Bennett's arrival.
They didn't let them wait long. After receiving the news, Bennett rushed over in a hurry, panting because he ran too fast.
"Who...who is looking for me?"
He put his hands on his knees and asked breathlessly.
"Are you Bennett?"
Jiang Bai was a little surprised to see this young man who was about the same age as Hu Tao.
Although I know that Katis is talking about the junior, this junior adventurer is really a bit too young.
This young man's hair color is very similar to Jiang Bai's, also white. He wears goggles on his head and a bandage on his nose.
He was wearing a thin leather armor, and there were many scars on his exposed arms, and there were bandages in some places. It was obvious that the injuries were not healed yet.
Judging from his clothes, he didn't look very good, but his energy was very good, his eyes were bright, and he seemed to be always filled with enthusiasm and hope.
Jiang Bai couldn't help but sigh:
'It's not easy to come to the Adventurer's Association to take risks and earn a living at such a young age.'
"I am, are you?" Looking at the unfamiliar people in front of him, Bennett scratched the back of his head in confusion.
"My name is Jiang Bai, this is my hall master Hu Tao, and this is the bard Wendy who brought us here." Jiang Bai gave a brief introduction.
Although I don’t know why Wendy followed them and refused to leave, it does not prevent Jiang Bai from introducing him.
"There are a lot of things, let's find a place to sit and talk!"
Under Bennett's blank gaze, several people came to a relatively secluded place in the Adventurers Association.
Ignoring Wendy who was watching the fun, Jiang Bai took out an urn and put it on the table.
Hu Tao said nothing and watched Jiang Bai perform.
Although in the Death Hall, the ceremony attendants taught family members how to deal with excessive emotions after hearing the news, but that was just learning, and ability can only be achieved if they can be put to good use in reality.
From the current point of view, Jiang Bai has done quite well, and the only remaining step is to inform him of his death and deliver his relics.
Under Bennett's doubtful eyes, Jiang Bai said seriously: "I'm very sorry to tell you that Mr. Katis Immonroca passed away unexpectedly during his adventure trip. These are his ashes."
"Uncle Katis is dead?" Upon hearing the news, Bennett was at a loss for a while and couldn't believe it.
But seeing this urn, he had to believe this fact.
His eyes turned red instantly, but he held back his tears forcefully, looking at Jiang Bai waiting for his next words.
"Mr. Carteris's will stated that you would inherit part of his belongings. He asked us to scatter his ashes into the Cider Lake on windy days. We think it would be more appropriate for you to do this..."
