Benedict! Benedict!
In the city of Mondstadt, in the most luxurious and brightly lit hotel, that is, the Goethe Hotel that was booked by the envoys of fools, there was a man wearing a red and black robe and a weird mask like an eyepatch. You could tell by looking at his attire. A man who was not a native of Mondstadt knocked gently on the door of a room still lit by candlelight.
"!!"
"Please come in."
"The door is not locked."
Soon, a woman's slightly tired voice came from the room.
"..."
Gala~!
Then, after getting the consent of the people inside, the man naturally reached out to push the door open and walked in gently.
"Well?"
"It's you Mikhail...
In this luxurious and spacious hotel suite, behind the desk, there was sitting a woman wearing a gray windbreaker, with light gray hair, and also wearing a similar mask. She recognized the man at a glance and called out his name. .
There is no doubt that they obviously know each other, and looking at their attire, it seems that they are all members of the envoy of Mondstadt?
"how?""
"Did something happen?"
After seeing the man come in and close the door, she pointed to the sofa opposite her own table, motioned for the man to sit down, and asked in surprise.
"without."
"Lyudmila."
"I'm just here to inform you of some situations."
"I think you should listen."
The man didn't comment, he just walked straight to the sofa and sat down slowly, and then said this.
However, judging from the frown on his face, it's not difficult to guess that the situation is not very good?
"oh?"
"Please say."
"Am I all ears?"
When she heard that it was a routine matter, the woman nodded and put down the paper and pen in her hand, then put her hands together on the table, signaling to the man named 'Mikhail' that he could start.
"Is such that."
"Yesterday, news came from our work."
"That woman and the bard, they seem to be preparing a plan again. I heard that they seem to be planning to go to the Wind Dragon Ruins tomorrow?"
"I think you should pay attention to this matter, so I came over overnight."
The man named Mikhail, who wore a mask on his face, said this in a slightly hesitant tone, and then lay down on the back of the sofa, no longer trying to hide the tired look on his face.
"Wind Dragon Ruins?"
"Ah!"
"Speaking of which, I've also heard that they went to Star Picking Cliff a few days ago and were planning to use the Sky Piano to awaken the Wind Demon Dragon, right?"
"But in the end, they failed."
"Now, they actually want to enter the Wind Dragon Ruins directly. It seems they haven't given up yet!"
First he was startled, and then he snorted coldly. Only then did Lyudmila, the envoy of fools, smile and sneer.
"Say it!"
"Have you figured out their team composition?"
"tomorrow……"
"Who are they going to go with?"
However, although there was disdain on her face and in her heart, after a pause, the woman named Lyudmila still frowned slightly and asked slowly and solemnly.
"It's still the same ones!"
"The Acting Commander of the Knights Jean Gunnhild, the former Cavalry Captain Diluc Legenfender, the traveler from a foreign land, and..."
"That bard, Wendy!"
Mikhail, the envoy of Fools who came late at night, did not hide anything and directly told what he knew.
At the same time, he seemed to have directly and selectively forgotten about a certain mascot, spare food and reserve food, Paimon, and never included him in the "Dragon Quest" from the beginning to the end. Within the team members.
"Well?"
"That Wendy again?"
"Yes."
"He was the one who took the lead."
"snort!"
"It seems that his identity is really not simple!"
"It's really not simple."
"Lyudmila, how do you think we should react?"
"reaction?"
"No, don't worry yet!"
"I will report this matter to "Ms." later. I think it won't be a big problem. "
"Um."
"My thoughts are the same as yours. Anyway, as long as the "lady" is there, even if he is really that existence, he may not be our "lady"'s opponent! "
"hope so……"
"correct."
"Besides the people you just mentioned, are there anyone else involved?"
"for example……"
"The little girl who burned the Wind Demon Dragon?"
"Well..."
"I can't confirm it yet."
"It's just that our people saw her going out with Lisa Mintz, the librarian of the Knights, in the afternoon, and she doesn't seem to have come back until now."
"At least the hotel clerk didn't see her coming back."
"oh?"
"Do you know what they are going to do?"
"this……"
"Sorry, don't know."
"Our people didn't dare to get too close. We only know that after they left the city, they used teleportation spells to teleport away and disappeared without a trace."
"It's not easy to track mages of their level."
Having said this, the man Mikhail smiled bitterly and shook his head again, indicating that his abilities were limited and not everything could be perfect.
"Is that so?"
"never mind!"
"Let's talk about what they are going to do tomorrow first!"
"That is to say..."
"Have they found a way to break through the barrier of the Wind Dragon Ruins?"
After pondering for a while, she realized that certain things were indeed difficult to do, so the woman stopped asking further questions and asked again about the things the other party reported before.
"I have no idea."
"but……"
"Since the bard is also involved, presumably, there should be no problem, right?"
After thinking for a while, the man spread his hands feebly again and gave the woman behind the desk a bitter smile.
"Too!"
"If he goes too, it should be no problem, but..."
"The "Lady" has recently continued to put pressure on the Knights through the matter of the Wind Demon Dragon. I hope they will not solve the threat of the Wind Demon Dragon too quickly. "
"It's best that the little girl doesn't go!"
"In that case, maybe we can delay it for a while longer?"
Having said this, the woman also smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, and then felt that she had no way to intervene directly in this matter, let alone make trouble secretly, so she had no choice but to give up for the time being and place her hopes on illusory luck. above.
"Anyway!"
"Let our people continue to watch and be sure to know their every move!"
"We must not take it lightly!"
"Mikhail..."
"After this period of understanding and investigation, I always feel that the Knights are not as simple as they appear on the surface!"
"It's possible that they have more hidden strength?"
Having said this, Lyudmila, the female envoy of the Fools, paused again, then frowned and thought for a long time before continuing to ask:
"besides!"
"Has the investigation revealed the truth about the big explosion that occurred in Mingguan Gorge a few days ago?"
"Is that a secret weapon developed by the Knights?"
"the most important is……"
"Is it related to that Spark Knight Keli?"
Thinking of the weird and terrifying big explosion a few days ago, thinking of the little girl who was so strong that she could burn the Wind Demon Dragon, and then thinking about the many efforts that the Knights were making to solve the threat of the Wind Demon Dragon, Lyudmila could only I felt like my head was as big as two, and at the same time, for the first time, I experienced a rare feeling called powerlessness.
She suddenly felt that this time they came to Mondstadt with too few people. If they were in their own Solstice Kingdom and had enough people, how could they be so constrained?
"Checked."
"But I don't have any clue right now."
"After the knights left, our people went to the scene to check carefully. The strange thing is that no sufficient concentration of fire element residue was found. That situation is a bit different from what the Spark Knight Keli did in the past. Too similar."
"Maybe……"
"That woman is right. It's probably just a meteorite?"
"That was an accident?"
The 'woman' mentioned by Mikhail, the envoy of the Fools, naturally refers to Zhang Qin, the agent of the Knights.
And the meteorite he was talking about was of course the meteorite that formed the Valley of Falling Stars in the legend. However, the power of the meteorite that day only caused a large crater of more than 100 meters and huge sound waves and vibrations. Compared with the falling stars formed in ancient times, Compared with the terrible disaster that created the huge Xingluo Lake, the power of the Star Valley landform is obviously much inferior.
"Accident?"
"snort!"
"Don't be too sure yet!"
"Especially their official rhetoric cannot be fully believed!"
"Who knows if they are covering up, or who knows if they are trying to hide that powerful and terrifying weapon?"
Thinking of the huge mushroom cloud that shook the city of Mondstadt that day and could be seen from almost the entire Mondstadt and even the border of Liyue, Lyudmila's face became even more ugly.
It is not an exaggeration to say that an explosion of that magnitude was caused by the power of the gods. Even if their "ladies" encountered it, they would probably have to stay away, right?
If it's that kind of strategic-level explosive weapon, let's consider it a weapon for now?
If it has been completely controlled by the knights, then their plan to annex the divine power of Mondstadt and Barbatos, which they made before, will have to be carefully considered.
Otherwise, when the time comes, it won’t be certain who will eat whom!
"correct!"
"Is there any reliable news coming out from within the Knights?"
"About that explosion!"
After thinking for a while about the embarrassing situation that we would face in the worst case scenario, and feeling that the situation was becoming increasingly difficult to control, Lyudmila, the envoy of fools, first frowned, then her eyes narrowed, and her expression gradually became indifferent and temporarily He shook off all the unfavorable thoughts and then continued to ask.
"not yet."
"They don't seem to have made a final conclusion yet, which is very strange."
"Of course, it's possible that the woman said it was a meteorite, just to stabilize people's hearts? But the specifics won't be known until they find the Spark Knight Keli and finally confirm it."
"Well……"
"That Keli, it's been a few days and she still hasn't appeared?"
"No!"
"Our people have just confirmed that the confinement room is empty and no one is on duty. She must have really never come back."
"People from the Knights are also looking for her. They have also sent many people to Eagle Beach to search, but so far no news has been sent back."
"..."
"snort!"
"The explosion is attributed to the meteorite, but the most critical Spark Knight is nowhere to be seen. If the Knights deliberately hide and protect the other party, then the situation will be really bad."
"!!"
"Lyudmila, what do you mean?"
"nothing!"
"I still don't want to believe that the truth of the matter is as simple as a meteor!"
"If it is some new weapon of their knights, it will be a fatal blow to our Fools' plan to take over Mondstadt, and to what our "lady" is planning to do! "
"so……"
"Mikhail, do you understand?"
Having said this, the woman suddenly raised her head and looked at the man sitting opposite her, who was also a senior member of the Envoy of Fools, with a cold and urgent expression.
"!!"
"That……"
"Should I continue to send people to spy?"
"Or take the risk of sending someone to the second floor of the Knights and some of the forbidden areas further inside?"
After frowning and pondering for a while, Mikhail asked tentatively.
"No!"
"It's better not to alert the enemy yet, and don't expose our people!"
Unfortunately, the woman shook her head and rejected it.
"so!"
"The focus is still on Keli. After all, she is the most suspect and has various criminal records..."
Thinking of the incident in the Watchtower Mountains spread in Mondstadt, the expression of that fool Lyudmila could not help but darken slightly, and then her already bad mood instantly became even worse.
"For now, let's just wait and see what happens."
"As soon as you find that little girl Keli appears, immediately find a way to confirm the situation!"
"yes!"
"I know this."
"That……"
"The focus of our work next is..."
"Two things!"
"First, keep an eye on the bard and his group, and pay attention to their every move!"
"But the lady will be responsible for this matter personally, so you don't need to worry too much about it."
"yes!"
"The other thing is...?"
"snort!"
"The other thing we have to do is..."
"??"
"Find someone!"
"who?"
"Heroes of the Night!"
"?!"
"Night Hero?"
"Yes!"
"That rascal……"
"It has caused a lot of trouble for our plan and must be found out as soon as possible!"
"Then, let the debt processing team deal with him!"
"!!"
"yes!"
"I see."
"Then I'll make arrangements first."
"Lyudmila, you should go to bed early. If you have any other instructions, just send someone to let me know."
At this point, seeing that the matter was basically discussed, the man Mikhail stood up and saluted, then turned around and left the room unhurriedly and closed the door of the hotel room again.
"..."
Seeing the other party leaving, Lyudmila, the envoy of fools, didn't say anything. She just sat quietly in the room for a while and then suddenly took out a portrait from the drawer.
————
Name: Anne Harstad
(*??????`??)
Occupation: Arcane Archmage
Age: eight years old
Attribute: fire
Weapon: Golem Bear: Tibbers
Talent: unknown
Information: A little girl who claims to be from outside the world has a power of fire element in her body beyond ordinary people's imagination. She burned the Wind Demon Dragon on the first day she arrived in Mondstadt. She is currently closely related to the Knights of the West Wind.
Hobbies: All kinds of delicious food.
————
"Anne Hastur..."
"well……"
Looking at the portrait in his hand, looking at the little girl with a big grimace, and then looking at the other party's incomplete information, Lyudmila, the envoy of the Fools, couldn't help but lamented again.
She had sent people to try to contact the little girl many times, but as a result, the other party was either acting strangely or getting together with people from the Knights. Therefore, not much practical progress has been made until now.
She only knew that the other party had recently been closely related to Amber, the scout knight of the knights, Ying, a traveler from a foreign land, and others. He was also closely related to Xiang Ling, a young chef from Liyue, and the Spark Knight who had been missing for many days. Kelly came together.
It is precisely because of this that there has been no good progress in their mission to win over each other or investigate each other.
"Tsk!"
"Although the lady asked me to investigate this little girl carefully, it is best to establish a good relationship."
"but……"
“I always feel like I don’t know where to start!”
Thinking of the other party's terrifying fire elemental power that could defeat the Wind Demon Dragon, and then thinking about the explosion in Mingguan Gorge a few days ago, Lyudmila always felt that things seemed to have some subtle connection with the other party, but unfortunately, she There is no real evidence.
"That's it!"
"There is no reliable evidence or progress..."
"Just go and report first."
In the end, she couldn't figure it out, so she shook her head, then put away the piece of paper with the other party's portrait and information again, then stood up and extinguished the candle, making the entire room and windows instantly dark.
Then, as the door opened, she walked into the corridor of the hotel, turned and walked towards the VIP suite on the top floor of the hotel.
That was the room of the "lady" of their envoy of fools. She wanted to report on the movements of the knights now, and she couldn't wait until tomorrow.
