When he heard that Cartis was dead and wanted to give him the relics, Bennett could no longer hold back his tears and flowed out like a rushing waterfall.
He cried hard, with tears and nose running down his face, but he suppressed himself forcefully and stopped himself from crying too loudly.
He was a baby taken out of a secret realm by an old adventurer. He didn't know who his parents were. He was raised by several childless old adventurers in Mondstadt.
Although Katis has no children, he is not old yet and is not considered his father.
Perhaps it was pity for his experience, or perhaps he recognized his will. In short, this great adventurer took great care of him and taught him a lot of knowledge and skills on snow mountain adventures.
He would often visit him in his free time, bring him some food and medicine, and tell him to be careful and not to get hurt all the time.
And such an elder passed away so suddenly and handed over his belongings to him. How could he not be sad or sad?
Jiang Bai handed him a handful of paper and patted his shoulder comfortingly, "Katis did not regret when he left. He had fulfilled his wish."
Bennett blew his nose vigorously, looked at him with tearful eyes, and asked with a cry:
"Really?"
"Of course! He has accomplished an unprecedented feat! Countless adventurers will sing his stories and recite his name!" Jiang Bai answered quite seriously.
"That's great!" Bennett cried and laughed, his face covered with snot and tears.
Jiang Bai took out a bag of mola, a few knives, a pair of crampons, a thick and warm fox fur hat, a pair of special goggles for snow mountains, and some other scattered things.
"This is what he is going to give you."
Jiang Bai took out the contract and showed it to him, indicating that he was not hiding anything.
Bennett didn't look at it carefully, he just glanced at it briefly. With his eyes blurred by tears, he couldn't quite read the words on the paper clearly.
He didn't feel that the person in front of him had any need to lie to him. If the other person wanted to lie to him, why bother making this trip?
Anyway, death is like a lamp going out. Some bad people will simply pretend that these contracts do not exist, so how can they still abide by them?
As for whether Jiang Bai will hide his secrets?
This was not even within his scope of consideration.
First of all, he didn't know how many relics Uncle Katis had, and secondly, there was no way to verify this kind of thing, and it all depended on the other person's character.
Bennett felt that the person in front of him was a good man, so he brought him the news of Uncle Katis's death, collected Uncle Katis's remains, and also sent him Uncle Katis's relics.
He also told him that Uncle Katis had fulfilled his dream.
"Please check the items and sign if they are correct. We will consider the handover complete."
Jiang Bai took out a pen, turned the contract over and handed it to him so that he could sign it.
Bennett nodded and checked briefly. There were about 50,000 molas in the bag. This was normal. After all, adventurers didn't carry too many molas when they went out.
The knives were all carried by Uncle Katis, a long knife for fighting off monsters, and two sharp short knives for handling food and firewood.
These were specially forged by Uncle Katis by a blacksmith. The quality is quite good and they have been used for many years.
Bennett blew his nose, wiped his hands, and signed his name.
"Thank you."
Hutao poured him a glass of water and asked him to calm down.
When he calmed down, he said: "We still need to go to Mr. Carter's house. Can you please take us there?"
"Yeah." Bennett nodded while holding something.
Jiang Bai looked at Wendy, "Wendy, let's separate here! We still have things to do."
If he only followed him here, Jiang Bai could still task the bard, but he was just a little more curious. But if he continued to follow, he would have to wonder if the poet had ulterior motives.
After all, the remaining matters involve an unknown number of molas and cannot be taken lightly.
"Then see you next time!" Wendy waved to them and did not intend to follow them again.
It's just an encounter in itself, it's enough here, just follow it up and get over it.
"goodbye!"
Watching them leave the Adventurers Association, the smile on Wendy's lips remained unchanged, but her eyes were crooked.
After leaving the Adventurers Association, the two of them followed Bennett in the city of Mondstadt and came to a small building.
Most of the houses in Mondstadt are built one building after another. Rich families will build two or three floors, while poorer families will only have one floor.
The small building owned by Katis does not belong to him, but is rented.
Although he is also a member of a large family in Mondstadt, as a remote branch, he really has no connection with this family except his surname.
After confirming that this was Katis's residence, Jiang Bai took out the key given by Katis and opened the door.
Katis's house was not big, and things were placed a bit randomly. Some empty wine bottles were placed haphazardly on the coffee table in the living room.
"Sorry, Uncle Carter's house is a bit messy." Bennett put down the things, picked up the broom and came to clean up.
"Master, please sit down for a while, and I'll see if what Katis mentioned is there." Jiang Bai was about to put away the walnut and go get Mora by himself.
"What?" Hutao didn't know Jiang Bai's plan, but her intuition told her that it was best to follow Jiang Bai.
Seeing that Hu Tao refused to sit down, Jiang Bai's paws became numb.
He knew what would happen if Hutao came over.
"The thank you Kattis said for me is in his room."
Jiang Bai emphasized the word "give me".
Hall Master, you won’t steal the gratitude someone else gave me, right?
"Oh?" Hu Tao raised her eyebrows slightly and said nothing, but her actions already showed her meaning.
You still have to see and decide whether to grab it or not.
Bennett held the broom and let them enter Katis's room and check it out casually.
There are not many things in Katis's room, including a bed, a wardrobe, a bedside table, a desk, a lamp, and a wooden box.
Jiang Bai first set his sights on the wooden box.
It stands to reason that this kind of box should be the place where Mora is kept, and it is also locked.
Jiang Bai rubbed his hands excitedly and violently opened the box, expecting a golden mola inside.
However beautiful the dream is, how cruel the reality is.
The imaginary Mora did not appear, there were only some miscellaneous items in the box.
Jiang Bai didn't give up and turned inside, but not a single mola came out!
"How come?"
Katis clearly said that he still had some Mora at home, so it was impossible to lie to him.
Jiang Bai's eyes turned to other places, rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
Hu Tao crossed her arms and leaned against the door, quietly watching Jiang Bai rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find Maura.
In her hand, she was holding a money bag that she had just taken out from under the pillow.
