Barbara went to take a bath at Bai Zhe's urging. It was already dark outside the house at this time. Bai Zhe came back to explain some matters to Einstein before going out again.
The cold wind blew on Bai Zhe's face, and a mouthful of white mist came out of his mouth. His black and red eyes glanced at a passing drunken man.
Drunks are not uncommon on the streets of Mondstadt, but the moment he passed by him, Bai Zhe had a note in the pocket of his coat.
Bai Zhe arrived at a tavern according to the address on the note. He saw that the wine bottles on the target's table were empty, and he himself was blushing and shaking from drinking.
The person in front of me, Schubert Lawrence, is the elder of the Lawrence family. He has a certain say in the family because of his seniority.
Bai Zhe got the news that the family that had close contact with the Fools recently was not only the Sidman family, but also an unexpected family...
Lawrence family.
When it comes to Lawrence, it was the darkest moment of the old aristocratic era that ruled Mondstadt. The freedom taken back from the lonely king in the tower was put in shackles, and slavery was prevalent in Mondstadt, which was controlled by the aristocratic forces.
Until Vanessa, the first Dandelion Knight, set an example by establishing the Knights of the West Wind, triggering a revolution and overthrowing the old aristocratic forces headed by the Laurence family. Mondstadt has developed under the protection of the Knights to this day.
The Lawrence family has also declined to this day. Lawrence has been called a sinner for generations, and has been despised and reviled by the residents of Mondstadt.
Now that the Gunnhild family of the Knights is facing a crisis, how could the Lawrence family let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? After all, the conflict between them can be said to be a never-ending situation.
Although the reputation of the Lawrence family is not very good in Mondstadt and they are now in decline, as the former rulers, their heritage is also a considerable force.
Even though the era of the old aristocracy has long passed, the Knights still want to mediate the conflicts with the Lawrence family, but the results are often in vain.
Schubert was so drunk that he was lying on the wine table, while Bai Zhe sat aside and greeted the bartender familiarly, serving him a few glasses of beer and some snacks.
"Mr. Schubert Lawrence, it seems that you are in a good mood. The price of this mellow fruit wine is not low."
Schubert is tall, thin, and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He has short brown hair that gives people the impression of being meticulous. He is well-dressed and looks arrogant.
Although he was drunk, the arrogance in Schubert's bones came from the inside out.
"You really don't understand the rules, hiccup! You are a rude person."
Schubert spoke intermittently and hiccupped after drinking. He struggled to get up from the wine table, stretched out his hand and pushed the frame of his glasses with his middle finger.
He shook his head and tried to wake up, but unfortunately he drank too much and his whole body was swaying when he sat up.
"If you want to make friends with nobles, you should kneel down on one knee now and introduce yourself humbly. This is the standard etiquette."
Bai Zhe lowered his hat to cover his face, placed an envelope on the table and pushed it over.
"Mr. Schubert, these are some greeting gifts to say hello to the Lawrence family on behalf of World Snake."
Schubert was drunk and shouted to himself: "World snake? What kind of mess of cats and dogs wants to have a relationship with a noble!"
"..."
"World Serpent?!"
The mysterious force active in the underground world of Mondstadt once auctioned the Dragon Spine Snow Ginseng worth 500 million Morads, and the World Snake is related to the Knights and several major forces in Mondstadt! ?
After Schubert reacted, his mind suddenly became clearer. He immediately looked at where the man was sitting, but he was no longer there.
Only the envelope on the table proved that he had been there. He quickly opened the envelope and saw that it contained a check worth tens of millions of dollars and a letter with something written on it.
…
Mondstadt Midtown.
Bai Zhe returned to his stronghold, and naturally the first person to greet him was Rosevia.
Rosevia behaved like a wife, took Bai Zhe's coat and asked, "You are back, are you hungry? Do you need me to make something for you?"
Bai Zhe nodded, then thought of something and asked: "Okay, you are indeed a little hungry when you say that. By the way, has Barbara eaten anything since she woke up?"
Rosevia shook her head and said, "No, Miss Barbara stayed in the room after taking a bath, and Rosalia stayed with her."
The two walked to the living room together. Bai Zhe looked at Einstein who was drinking coffee alone, said hello and spoke to Rosevia next to him again.
"Make two copies, and help Barbara make one. I'll go check on the situation. Thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, Bai Zhe stretched out his hand and caressed Rosevia's face. Rosevia rubbed his palm affectionately like a cat. As long as she could help Bai Zhe, she would be happy.
Einstein: Why is the coffee so bitter today...
inside the room.
The magic table lamp made of small lamp grass on the table illuminated the whole room. Barbara sat leaning on the bed and looked at Rosalia beside her. In the past, she had always been inaccessible in the West Wind Church. Barbara Barra never had the courage to communicate with Rosalia.
But Barbara, who has abandoned everything, has nothing to fear now.
"Miss Rosalia, you should be very clear about Bai Zhe's purpose and the culprit that caused the situation to become what it is now. Why did you choose to help him?"
Rosalia looked at her former colleague. She wanted to light a cigarette but gave up in the end. She folded her arms and took a deep breath to calm down her emotions and said slowly: "Why don't you help him? Your situation now is much better than mine. Already..."
"Perhaps it would be easier for me to choose death, but I couldn't bear to witness the demise of the Knights. In the end, I made a deal with Bai Zhe... giving everything I had."
After finishing speaking, Rosalia lifted the clothes on her chest, revealing a large area of white flowers, and the clearly visible traces of collapse and erosion were imprinted on her body.
"That guy can even compete with a god. It's only a matter of time before Mond falls into his hands... I just hope that when Captain Falga comes back, he can have a home, just like when he let him It’s like the church took me in.”
Rosalia showed a wry smile, looked at her turbid Eye of God and shook her head.
Barbara was silent, her eyes gradually darkened, and the smile on her face looked gloomy.
Lord Barbatos, God of Wind, if you can hear the voice of devout believers, please guide me in my confusion as to what to do...
The God of Wind exists, but he cannot hear Barbara's inner prayers, let alone use the wind to blow away the confusion in her heart.
