Genshin Impact: Legend of the Emperor
Chapter 23 The Lost Armor
Jean slammed the table in the conference room. It was the first time for the Knights to see the gentle leader Jean so angry.
Qin said angrily: "Last night, a set of elemental armor was hijacked during transportation! Today's meeting is to discuss the Knights' next move."
The Knights: "The elemental armor has been stolen!!!"
As high-ranking members of the Knights Templar, those present here all knew the specific information about the elemental armor developed by Lu Ming, and they also knew the importance of this technology to Mond.
Even the captains of each knight group were assigned a set of elemental armor, and Lisa, the librarian, was given a set of grass elemental armor by Qinte.
Although everyone knows that the news of the elemental armor will be known to other forces sooner or later, according to the plan, this news should be known when all Mond has completed the equipment of elemental armor and is strong enough to not be afraid of challenges.
But now the elemental armor is just piled up in the warehouse and is heavily guarded. Only the members of the Knights Templar who are powerful and have made contributions to Mond are qualified to obtain it.
As the acting leader, Jean has been strictly controlling the distribution of elemental armor for the sake of Mondstadt's stability and keeping the secret of elemental armor. For this, she has been under tremendous pressure, and the high-ranking officials and nobles of other knight orders have a tendency to unite to put pressure on her.
Fortunately, her allies, the West Wind Church and the Dawn Winery, came out to support her, allowing the plan to proceed smoothly.
But now that the elemental armor has been stolen, Qin's confidentiality plan has been shattered. The high-ups and nobles will definitely take this opportunity to pressure Qin to hand over the elemental armor.
Moreover, the theft of the elemental armor meant that there was a traitor within the Knights Templar, and this was what made Jean most angry.
Until now, the force that stole the elemental armor has not been found out yet. Qin has a suspect but has no evidence.
More importantly, the news about the elemental armor was spread, and anyone who was interested could find out that there was no secret about Lu Ming. Although the elemental armor was important, Lu Ming was the goose that laid the golden eggs.
Who can guarantee that Lu Ming won't develop something more powerful than elemental armor?
By then, even Liyue, which is on good terms with Mondstadt, will send spies to snatch Lu Ming.
After hearing what Captain Qin said, everyone present was very angry. Of course, even if they were pretending, they had to pretend to be angry.
Anyone with a little common sense can understand the importance of elemental armor to the Knights Templar. This opportunity to make Mondstadt even greater was ruined by a traitor. The traitor deserves to die.
As the militant faction within the Knights Templar, many knight captains who were left behind by Grand Master Falgar to guard their homes were ruthless and cruel, and the enemies they had killed combined could fill the entire Mondstadt.
At this moment, their anger caused their momentum to explode immediately.
The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became as heavy and thick as the sea. If an ordinary person were here, he would be overwhelmed by the momentum within three seconds.
Qin felt the captains' anger and nodded with satisfaction, but when she thought of a "weak" scientist here, she immediately stopped this group of muscular men and murderous ladies.
"boom!"
"Be quiet, everyone!!!"
Qin once again used the table-banging technique she learned from Captain Farga.
"Now that the news has been leaked, there is no point in keeping it secret any longer. Let me introduce it to you all."
Qin walked to Lu Ming's side and called him gently.
Lu Ming looked at Lisa beside him for help.
(Sister Lisa, please save me.)
Lisa calmly drank her coffee.
(With Lu Ming around, Qin should be less angry.)
"Everyone, this Mr. Lu Ming is the scientist from another world who developed the elemental armor. In order to thank Mr. Lu Ming for his contribution to Mond, I have decided to award Mr. Lu Ming the title of Honorary Knight and appoint him as the head of the Knights' Scientific Research Department. All the alchemists belonging to the Knights will be assigned to the Scientific Research Department."
Everyone in the conference room immediately applauded enthusiastically. Captain Qin did a great job. Talents like him must stay in Mondstadt.
We must not allow people from other countries to abduct us.
Amber and Youla looked at Lu Ming in surprise. Because of Captain Qin's confidentiality policy and Lu Ming's lack of interest in showing off, the Knights' top brass knew that the elemental armor had been developed, but they didn't know who developed it.
They originally thought that it was developed by the alchemists in the Knights Templar.
Everyone knows that Albedo, the chief alchemist of the Knights, is very good at alchemy. But this big guy has been in Mondstadt all year round, and his personality is also very free and easy. He studies completely based on his own hobbies, and others cannot interfere.
I didn't expect that Lu Ming, a nobody in the Knights, developed the elemental armor. It seems that I have to build a good relationship with Lu Ming so that I can get Lu Ming's powerful inventions sooner.
Thinking of this, some clever knights have already started preparing gifts. Amber and guerrilla leader Youla seem to have a good relationship with Lu Ming. As colleagues, they should communicate more with each other in the future. Maybe they can introduce each other.
As the saying goes, a friend of a friend is also a friend.
Amber and Youla were surprised, looked at each other, and understood each other's thoughts.
(It turns out that Lu Ming didn't contact us for such an important matter. We misunderstood him.)
(Amber)
(Ula)
(For Mondstadt and our friends, we must protect Lu Ming.)
After the meeting, Lu Ming was surrounded by knights. Fortunately, with the help of Lisa and Qin, Lu Ming successfully escaped back to the laboratory.
Amber and Youla also wanted to go forward, but when they saw Lu Ming leaving in a panic, they decided not to disturb him.
Back in the captain's office, Qin took the coffee made by Lisa and took a big sip.
Jean, whose head was buzzing from the noise of her knights, smelled the bitter fragrance in her mouth and felt like she was alive again.
(I am saved by coffee.)
Seeing the tired look on Qin's face, Lisa felt a little distressed. She quietly walked behind Qin and massaged Qin's temples.
Lisa: "Qin, what arrangements have you made for Lu Ming's safety?"
Qin: "Albedo will come to the Knights today. He promised to protect Lu Ming for a while."
Qin: "After a while, elemental armor will become more popular, and we won't have to worry about safety issues."
……
The debt collector used the evil eye to hide his figure and ran wildly on the streets of Mondstadt.
His agile skills made passers-by think he was just a gust of wind, but the knights led by Kaia behind him were chasing him, so the unfortunate passer-by immediately hid aside.
The unfortunate passerby felt his hand sink, and a wooden box appeared in his hand out of nowhere.
Kaia snatched the box, opened it and found stones inside. He ordered two knights to stay and take the passerby to the Knights' interrogation room, and then continued to chase the debt collector with his men.
But eventually Kaia followed the trail to the Goethe Hotel and lost track.
Kaia: "The Fatui. Looks like we'll be busy tonight."
The top floor of the Goethe Hotel.
The lady was flipping through the book in her hand. This book, "The Flame Dragon Warrior", which was very popular in Mondstadt, was bought by her subordinates to please her. Is the doctor in the book his annoying colleague? The lady planned to buy a few more copies to give to her colleagues in Solstice.
“This book is good for killing time.”
"My Lady!"
"Come in." The lady clasped her hands together and placed the book in her hand on the table.
A maid with a hidden mirror came in with the debt collector who was running wildly on the street just now.
Maid Hidden Mirror: "My lady, he said he has important information to report to you. Also, there are a lot of people from the Knights downstairs."
The lady's face turned cold: "Did you lead the Knights here?"
The temperature in the room dropped a few degrees as the lady grew angry.
The debt collector was too weak to use the evil eye, so he quickly took out a box from his arms and explained:
"My lady, last night, our spy in the Knights sent a message that the Knights would send someone to the Dawn Winery at 1 a.m. to deliver a precious cargo."
"My team and I originally thought it was just an antique or something, but the group of knights transporting the goods attacked us like crazy. Among them, there were several knights wearing strange armor and controlling elemental forces. We were completely defeated."
"When we were about to evacuate, I saw a box in the convoy. I thought it was some treasure, so I used the evil eye to become invisible and stole it."
"As a result, those knights abandoned the rest of the convoy's cargo and rushed towards me. Fortunately, I ran fast and was not caught."
The debt collector said with some grievance: "I wanted to find a place to hide in the wild for a while, but those knights kept chasing me for the whole night!"
"I thought these knights were so crazy, so there must be something extraordinary in this box, so I opened it and took a look."
"It was after seeing what was in the box that I made up my mind to sneak back to Mondstadt and present this treasure to the lady."
The lady looked at the debt collector kneeling in front of her and became interested. It was the first time she had seen a fool who was so eloquent. If what the debt collector said was true, then he was really a talent.
The lady held out her hand: “Give me the thing.”
