The wind may be a bit cold tonight, but that's just for ordinary people, and it's nothing to Yura, who has the eye of the ice god.
Youla maintained the habit of taking cold water baths all year round, even in winter, and even invited Amber many times, although she never came together once.
Yura likes the cold feeling of taking a bath in ice water, because it can keep her brain calm and her body tense at all times. This is considered a special little hobby of hers.
After taking a bath, Yora returned to the room. When she opened the door, she saw a black eagle standing on the window sill. Yora recognized it at a glance as a special trust eagle trained by the Lawrence family.
Suddenly, Youla felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart. She couldn't help but move her feet a little faster. She threw aside the towel hanging around her neck, walked to the window and took off the wooden barrel tied to Eagle Foot's ankle. The role of the barrel is to protect the integrity of the letter. Yura skillfully took out the letter from the barrel, unfolded it, and read anxiously.
After reading the letter from the Lawrence family, Yora's face turned pale and bloodless. She stood there stunned for a long time, and then she started to move as her breathing gradually became faster.
Youra hurriedly changed her clothes and rushed out of the door. Although the people who passed her felt something was wrong, they didn't pay much attention to it. It was most likely an emergency mission or something like this. It happens often.
Eura ran all the way to the knights' stables, got on a good horse and galloped away!
There is not much time left for her, she must rush back! The last words the head of the Lawrence family said to her kept echoing in her mind.
"Yura, Lawrence's future is in your hands."
Yora couldn't help but hold the reins tighter in her hands. Even the guards at the gate of Mondstadt didn't dare to stop her for questioning. She must be in such a hurry because of something important.
Under the dark night, Gray Snake stood on the city gate and watched the gradually disappearing figure.
"In such a hurry, is that direction the Whispering Forest... to return to the Lawrence family?"
"It's exactly as the Lord predicted. The Fools dare to attack the Lawrence family. It seems they are ready for a life-and-death fight."
…
Qingquan Town.
Gray Snake told Bai Zhe everything he saw. Bai Zhe fell into thinking after hearing the news about Youla, and then took a sip of green tea to analyze and speak.
"The Fools took action much faster than I expected. Yula returned to the Lawrence family in such a hurry. It is not difficult to see that something happened to the Lawrence family, and it must be something serious."
"Captain Qin and the others should have discovered it by now. However, they probably don't know the reason yet. Maybe Kaia will come to ask us later."
After all, World Snake has the upper hand in terms of intelligence, and the Knights of West Wind also understand this.
Sure enough, Kaia came to visit within an hour.
Kaia brought a silver-haired maid...a knight?
Bai Zhe held his chin with his left hand and looked at Kaiya and asked, "Kaiya, is this your girlfriend?"
Listening to Bai Zhe's doubtful questions, Kaiya, who was drinking tea, suddenly opened her eyes wide, and the tea in her mouth couldn't help but spit out, and she coughed again and again!
"Pfft! Cough! Cough! Bai Zhe, what are you talking about! This is the pre-selected knight for the juniors of the Knights. This time, I heard that monsters are gathering near Qingquan Town, and Noelle came here to help."
Bai Zhe focused his attention on Noelle again, and saw that she was wearing a combination of maid uniform and silver armor. Her short silver hair was neat and clean, her green eyes revealed passion and tenderness, and her skirt was painted in red above her buttocks. The rose-colored silk ribbon is tied with a bow and is inlaid with a golden eye of God.
"Hey~ the owner of the Rock God's Eye is a candidate for the Knights. What are you Knights doing? If you don't want such a good person, why don't you give us the World Snake."
Kaia, who was drinking water, spat out the water in his mouth again, clenched his hands into fists and put them to his mouth, coughing continuously.
"Pfft! Cough! Cough! No, no, no, Noelle is not suitable for World Snake. Bai Zhe, you should let this kid go.
Son. "
What is this guy nervous about? Bai Zhe couldn't help but look at Noelle a few more times curiously. Is there anything different about this child?
Kaia transformed into a hen and protected Noelle behind her. She wiped the water stains from the corner of her mouth with her hand and said, "Bai Zhe, I have something to ask you this time. You know..."
Bai Zhe interrupted Kaiya before he finished speaking.
"Oh, Yula said she has already returned to the Lawrence family. What kind of deal did the Fools make with Shubert Lawrence? Something big should happen to the Lawrence family now."
"..."
Kaiya was speechless. Why did Bai Zhe always predict the future every time he came over to ask questions? Could it be that...
"Bai Zhe, tell me honestly, have you placed people in our knights? I always feel that you can control every move we make, and the same is true for the Fools. You won't even be able to..."
"you guess."
Bai Zhe tilted his head with a smile and continued to look at Noelle behind Kaiya. Noelle also tilted his head and looked at Bai Zhe, and tentatively asked, "Do you need help?"
Kaia interrupted hurriedly as if she was deliberately trying to hide something.
"Ahem! Bai Zhe, do you have any more detailed information?"
Bai Zhe squinted his eyes and looked at Kaiya, kept drawing circles on the table with his fingers and said with a smile: "Hey, we world snakes have worked so hard for this bit of information, but some people always think about free prostitution and bullying. ~」
The corners of Kaiya's mouth twitched, and she forced a smile to look at the sinister Bai Zhe and asked, "Then what does Mr. Bai Zhe want?"
Originally, Bai Zhe didn't want to tell the other party detailed information, but now he had a strong interest in Noelle in front of him. He slowly stretched out his finger and pointed at Noelle behind Kaiya.
"she."
Oops!
Kaiya forced herself to keep a smile, and said with a cold sweat: "This is not okay, Bai Zhe, you are forcing things on others."
The smile on Bai Zhe's face did not diminish, and he spoke calmly: "Hey, I'm not robbing people. Didn't you just say that? Didn't Miss Noel come to help Qingquan Town clean up the surrounding monsters? ? Then you need a place to stay, don’t you mind resting here?”
Kaia knew very well that if Bai Zhe discovered Noel's unwillingness to refuse, he would definitely eat him to death! No matter what, I can't promise him.
On the contrary, Noelle nodded seriously and said, "Well, thank you very much, Mr. Bai Zhe, for your help. I was just trying to find a hotel to stay in."
Kaia turned her head to look at Noelle behind her with an expression as if she was looking at a ghost, and saw him slapping her face with his big hand and smiling bitterly. I can only pray that Bai Zhe can be merciful and not make Noelle too busy...
The next second, Bai Zhe returned to his usual cold expression and said seriously: "The Fools are planning to make a fuss about the Lawrence family's Jingfu Port. Kaiya, you know the seriousness of the matter."
Jingfu Port! ?
After hearing the news, Kaia couldn't stay any longer. After a few simple words with Noelle, he immediately started to return to Mondstadt.
