Barbara's dim blue eyes were full of expectation. Even if she was deceived by him again... she could accept it. That way she would at least still have the value of deceiving.
People in the family are talking about themselves a lot. They only have eyes for their sister, and they seem to be her vassal...
Barbara felt the warmth in Bai Zhe's hands through her cheeks, stretched out her hands to hold the hand that was wiping away her tears, and looked into his scarlet eyes.
Bai Zhe could see the desire in her eyes, and she wanted to get recognition of her worth from her own mouth.
At this moment, Barbara was showing such a morbid look. It seemed that she had reached the edge of a mental breakdown. It seemed like a perfect opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Bai Zhe replied with an affirmative tone: "Of course, you have your own unique value, no one can replace you, you are you. Now, you look very tired, take a rest."
After hearing the answer, Barbara finally showed her usual smile. Sure enough, I have unique value in your eyes...
"Thanks……"
Boom!
Barbara, who fell into Bai Zhe's arms, had a satisfied smile on her face. Although her face was haggard, it attracted people's affection.
Traces of Honkai erosion appeared on Barbara's face. It seemed that she was mentally unstable and had fainted due to her consciousness being eroded by Honkai energy.
Bai Zhe slowly placed his hand on her chest, and the power of the stigmata began to suppress the Honkai energy in Barbara's body. Under the influence of the power of the stigmata, Honkai began to gradually calm down.
Barbara, who is mentally unstable, is unable to control and use Honkai energy like Rosalia. Now the Honkai energy in her body has become a time bomb that may collapse at any time. Bad things will erode Barbara's consciousness.
Bai Zhe, who only possesses the stigmata, can suppress the powerful Honkai energy. In other words, she cannot leave Bai Zhe unless she can successfully master Honkai energy with her own power.
What Bai Zhe can do now is to give her spiritual sustenance and soul support, and then become the new and only faith in her heart.
…
Mondstadt.
The sun shines on the streets of Mondstadt, and people are bustling coming and going.
However, the palatial inner city is sparsely populated. Although the buildings are tall and the houses are gorgeous, they lack a sense of human habitation.
Gunnhild Manor is one of the best, and its large area is second to none in Mondstadt.
But with Jean's return, they discovered that Barbara Gunnhild was missing again, and had been missing for several days.
How can Qin not be angry? She was actively dealing with the problem of the Wind Demon Dragon outside, and she just came back and found that her sister was missing again? ! Is the security in the family just a decoration?
But the Knights are facing a shortage of manpower, and the family is committed to fighting against the Sidman family, and there are not enough manpower to find Barbara.
And at this time, Qin must return to her post in the Knights as soon as possible. The Sidman family is now menacing, and even Qin must concentrate on dealing with them.
When I can only choose between my sister and the Knights, whether to work hard for the people of Mondstadt or to work hard for my closest family members.
She finally chose the identity of the leader. As Qin, who had been educated as a knight since childhood, she could not abandon all the residents of Mondstadt and desperately search for her sister Barbara.
It's just that Qin couldn't get out of it. She asked Kaiya to contact Bai Zhe.
Bai Zhe, as a knight, knows one of the few people who can directly contact the World Serpent. Qin currently places her hope on the World Serpent. She wants to use the World Serpent's powerful intelligence network to find traces of Barbara.
…
At night, the streets of Mondstadt are filled with music and music every night, and the aroma of wine drifts through the streets.
Kaia, a busy cavalry captain, actually asked Bai Zhe for a drink, but Bai Zhe had already seen through this guy Kaia.
Unless you take the initiative to meet at your door, if you ask yourself for a drink, you will basically ask for help from yourself, and most of them will require you to contact World Snake.
, the location chosen every time is Diluc's tavern, a gift from an angel.
Bai Zhe arrived at the tavern at the agreed time and met Kaia smoothly.
Seeing Bai Zhe arriving as promised, Kaiya raised his glass and shouted exaggeratedly, "Oh! My best friend."
Bai Zhe sat down without being polite, put on a rather disgusted expression and shouted: "Come on, if you come to me for a drink, you are most likely asking me to help you with something. Let's get straight to the point. I'm still busy with the Fools." Things, they’ve been so quiet recently, it’s quite suspicious..."
Kaia is also doubtful about this. After all, when the two major forces of Mondstadt clashed, the eager wolves of the Fools actually chose to wait and see and did not interfere in the conflict that decided the fate of Mondstadt. It was more or less elusive. Don't understand their thoughts.
Is it possible that the Winter Country has changed to a vegetarian diet?
Although he was also very concerned about this matter, this was not the purpose of Kaiya coming to Bai Zhe. Kaiya drank the cold beer in his hand and asked with a look of embarrassment: "Bai Zhe, how many people in the World Snake have been there recently?" The contact points are all empty, and we can no longer contact the World Snake, so I want to ask you if there is a way to contact you?"
Bai Zhe held the wooden wine glass to his lips and asked with interest: "Are you here on behalf of the Knights?"
Kaia shook her head and smiled: "No, I represent an individual. Kevin, can you get in touch?"
Bai Zhe took a sip of wine and placed the wooden wine glass on the table. He had already roughly guessed the purpose of Kaia's visit. It should be about Barbara's affairs.
"I have already guessed why you came here. Miss Barbara has joined the World Serpent..."
Kaiya's pupils shrank, and he gave Bai Zhe the answer before he even asked the question.
In an instant, Kaia stood up and put his hands on the table. The chair fell to the ground with a loud noise because Kaia stood up. There was an incredible expression on his face. He shouted tremblingly: "This is impossible. ?!」
When Kaia shouted, all the eyes in the bar were focused on him. Realizing that he had lost his temper, Kaia apologized profusely. After calming everyone down, he sat down and became silent. He held his chin with his hands and said nothing. .
It took a while, time to drink a few glasses of wine.
Kaia raised his head and took a long breath and asked, "Kevin...is your news reliable?"
Bai Zhe looked at Kaiya's serious expression, nodded and said in a confirming tone: "But that's the fact. I have news to tell you about the Fools. There is news that the World Snake plans to deal with the Fools, and the Fools The eighth seat of the executive has quietly entered Mondstadt."
Kaia was not in the mood to drink at this time. She covered her forehead with her hands and apologized: "Sorry Kevin, I have to go first...Sorry, I'll treat you to a drink next time."
Bai Zhe waved his hand to show that he didn't care and said, "If you ask me for help next time you have a drink, don't ask me out."
The two looked at each other and smiled, Kaia picked up her coat and left.
Looking at Kaiya's leaving figure, Bai Zhe showed a strange smile...
