Genshen: Starting from Liyue, he is equipped with the seals of the Six Kingdoms

"Wait, is [Doctor] still in Mondstadt?" Niyu asked.

"I don't know, he hasn't shown up since that banquet." Diluc shook his head.

"……please continue."

Diluc continued: "The sudden departure of Grand Commander Falga caused a series of chain reactions."

"Originally, the Knights of the West Wind were investigating... Inspector General Ilok. After the grand leader left, the matter was handed over to the deputy leader and acting leader Qin to follow up."

"Due to the secret support of the Fools, the investigation into Ilok is not progressing smoothly."

"Then about three weeks ago, the replaced diplomat of Solstice Kingdom was attacked and killed at the city gate. The attacker used a black flame... very similar to the flame I used."

"This incident caused an uproar. The Fools immediately lodged a solemn protest and claimed that they would send people to investigate."

Blackfire case? Cole?

Niwa stood up suddenly.

Thank God, there was finally an event that he was familiar with, but it also happened a year earlier.

"Have you thought of anything?" Diluc asked.

Niyu shook his head, "Not sure yet. Is that all? Then let me talk about the situation in Liyue."

He told Diluc about his experience of being deceived by the Fools and the process of intercepting the Fools' transport team in Liyue, and then guessed: "[Doctor] may have discovered something during this experiment, and asked Mond The conscription should be about collecting experimental subjects and preparing for the next experiment. It is likely that your grand leader used the expedition as a condition in exchange for the fools not to recruit troops from Mondstadt."

According to the original plot, Inspector General Ilok was the mole planted by the Fools in the Knights of the West Wind. The investigation against him also stalled for a time, but in the end Qin was able to eliminate the man and his cronies.

He is just a small person and cannot make any waves.

The top priority is to find the Fools' Transport Team that left the Longji Snow Mountain!

After listening to Niyu's request, Diluc nodded slowly and said: "I will use my intelligence network to find that transport team. As long as they indeed entered Mondstadt from the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain, no matter which route they plan to take Even on the way back to winter, it’s impossible to escape my eyes!”

"Then in return, I will provide you with help when you need it, whether it is intelligence or military support." Niyu stood up and extended his right hand to Diluc.

Diluc reached out and shook his hand, "It's a deal."

Niwa smiled, "One more thing... Do you know Mr. Abedo, the chief alchemist of the Knights?"

----------

At the same time, Mondstadt.

In a luxurious apartment near Fengshen Square, Ilok, exhausted both physically and mentally, opened the door to the living room.

The room was dark, but he did not light a lamp. Instead, he went straight to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of dandelion wine, poured himself a large glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

The spicy and bitter taste not only failed to relax him, but made him even more irritable.

He couldn't help but slam the wine glass in his hand to the ground.

The thick carpet protected the poor wine glass from being shattered into pieces, but it just rolled away a long way and stopped at a pair of feet.

Only then did Ilok notice the figure sitting in the darkness, and quickly drew out the long sword from his waist.

"Who?!"

The man didn't speak, he just took out the tinder and lit the lamp next to him.

The orange firelight was refracted by the crystal lampshade, dispersing the darkness in the room and illuminating the visitor's face.

"Is that you? What are you doing here?"

Ilok said in surprise, and slowly put the sword back into its sheath.

The visitor glanced at him and said lightly: "Even if it is not required by noble etiquette, your words are too rude, Ilok."

"Feel sorry."

Ilok said something perfunctory without apology, picked up the bottle of dandelion wine, took two more wine glasses from the wine cabinet, and sat next to the man.

The man watched him pour wine into two silver cups and frowned: "The wine glasses were chosen correctly, but the aged dandelion wine should be sobered for twelve minutes and then ice cubes should be added. It is better to have the wine surface submerged in the ice cubes. It's such a bad drink. , not only a waste of good wine, but also a waste of life."

Ilok slammed the wine bottle on the coffee table and snorted: "How long has it been, and you are still showing off like a noble?"

The man did not get angry. He stood up and took the wine bottle and glass back to the wine cabinet. He poured the wine into the waste bucket and started mixing the wine according to the correct method. He said: "Etiquette is not for others to see." . A true nobleman knows how to use etiquette to keep himself calm and sharp, and not to retreat due to fear."

Ilok was silent for a moment, then took a long breath and said: "The eldest daughter of the Gunnhild family is pressing on me step by step. Her bloodline makes it impossible for me to fight back. If it weren't for the help of fools, I'm afraid... Even so, I am now It’s just lingering on.”

"The problem is clearly seen. Indeed, in Mondstadt, blood is a person's greatest reliance. Gunnhild has been a good person for generations, and Lawrence has been a sinner for generations. Even after a thousand years, this is still the case."

The man skillfully poured wine into the mixing jar and shook it gently to let the aroma of the wine spread. "The people who claim to have broken the shackles are just continuing the rule of another set of bloodline shackles in the name of freedom... …It’s so ridiculous.”

Ilok said angrily: "Can philosophical issues be discussed later? The support of the fools cannot delay me for too long!"

The man brought two cups of prepared dandelion wine to the coffee table and slowly sat down. "It won't take long. The Fool's senior executives have reached a consensus and are ready to fully support us!"

Ilok's eyes suddenly widened, "Seriously?"

The man nodded, "Perhaps the Mondstadt people were too disobedient and angered the Fools."

"We...what should I do?"

"Our forces have been assembled, and all operations are under the unified command of a certain executive officer. All you need to do is to prepare your people to take over the city defense at the critical moment."

Ilok breathed out slowly, "So you're all ready... God of wind, I watch that idiot Schubert swaggering around the city every day, talking about restoring the glory of the Lawrence family. I almost can't even sleep. not good!"

The man smiled slightly, "I put him in the city on purpose. 'The Lawrence family is just a bunch of idiots talking nonsense.' Don't you think this general impression is very beneficial to us?"

Ilok looked at the man with disbelief, "This...he is your biological brother!"

The man sneered: "That's why I gave him this honor - to contribute to the family as a waste!"

Ilok was speechless.

Seeing this, the man softened his tone slightly and raised his glass: "Remember, only successful people are qualified to show mercy to others! For the glory of the nobility, we cannot fail!"

Ilok's eyes slowly became firm, and he raised his glass to touch him, "Yes! Mr. Heinz Lawrence! For the glory of the nobility!"
