Chapter 160: Entanglement
Looking at the indifferent blue-haired woman in front of her, Rosalin pursed her lips and smiled.
"Ma'am, it's a bit uncomfortable to take things belonging to our gods in our city-state so blatantly, isn't it?"
Regardless of whether it is strong or weak, the momentum alone makes the lady appreciate it.
However, the two sides are now enemies rather than friends, and this menacing blond woman is not an easy character to deal with.
"Well, Rosalind, actually she's not..."
In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Wendy thought it would be better to stand up and explain.
The main thing is that he doesn't want any additional casualties.
But his kindness only received a majestic look from Rosalind.
"Shut up, you idle bard."
There was absolutely no respect for the gods in his words.
The slightly over-the-top words made Wendy shrink back from what she had not yet spoken.
The bard closed his mouth angrily amid the constant tension between the two.
Forget it, go ahead and fight, just don't demolish a third of an acre of land.
Amid the rising air pressure, the bard gave up treatment.
But suddenly, when facing the rising momentum of the Flame Witch, the lady who was running the power of ice withdrew her elemental power, leaving Rosalin stunned.
"Ha, speaking of which, there is no need for me to fight with you here. Since I have got the things, I will leave first."
After saying that, the lady glanced at Wendy who was hiding under the big tree with an unwavering gaze. With a wave of ice-cold power, the figure disappeared into the horizon.
Looking at the lady's retreating back, Rosalin looked unkind and turned her head to stare at the bard with a sinister look, asking him to give an explanation.
Being looked at by Rosalind like this, Wendy felt as if she was being targeted by a predatory tiger.
Alas, what are these things?
————————
"Hey, look at that."
When the residents on the street saw the oncoming light blue short-haired knight, they turned around and gathered in twos and threes to point at the good-looking female knight.
However, due to the identity of the other party, they could only have sex in private.
And just as the demonic tide receded, after muttering a few words, a few people ran to the back of the house and continued the hard work of repairing the house.
The noisy jeers around her didn't cause any change in Yula's expression.
It's just the extent of being pointed out, and it's not worth noting.
What she wants to know now is what happened to Mondstadt during the days she left.
After receiving the order from the headquarters, Gaza Imunloka, who returned with her, dragged her somewhat tired body to the Deer Hunter to have a good meal, which made her the only one to go back to report on her duties, which was a bit embarrassing.
"Yora Lawrence reports."
Standing at the door of the captain's office, Yura, like the other knights, honestly reported her name.
The female knight stood at the door with a serious look on her face.
But the woman inside didn't need this. After double-checking that no one was around, Qin quickly welcomed her in.
She carefully closed the doors and windows to prevent her next words from being heard by passersby.
"Yura, nothing happened along the way."
Before starting the conversation, Qin routinely confirmed the status of the mission with the female knight in front of her.
"Report to Captain Qin that he was in good condition along the way and did not encounter any special circumstances."
Although Qin is Yura's guide, during her time at the headquarters, Yura prefers to treat herself strictly as a knight, rather than as a friend of the captain.
It is precisely because of her strict demands on herself that the members of the surrounding knights can have a different view of her who was born in the old aristocracy.
Looking at Yula who had personally introduced the knights, Qin didn't know what to say next.
She held an investigation report in her hands and kept turning the paper back and forth in her palms, as if she was struggling with something.
After a while, the woman sitting in her seat sighed secretly and handed the report to Yula.
"This is..."
Yora took it, and the report in her hand was a series of numbers, which made her feel a little confused.
What are these?
But when her eyes glanced at the corner of the report, a line of small words in the corner flashed into her field of vision.
"Lawrence...is this the financial report of the Lawrence family?"
Looking at the financial expenditures marked in red, Youla's face was full of disbelief.
Although she had been away from home for some time, she never expected that the situation at home would become so difficult.
Facing the female knight's surprised gaze, Qin nodded helplessly.
Looking back, perhaps this too heavy bill was one of the reasons that prompted Schubert's betrayal.
"But let's not talk about it for now, Yora, you must have felt something happened in the city recently on your way back to the city."
Despite all the reluctances, Qin still chose to confess.
"Well, those people's expressions don't look right either."
Along the way, although Youla didn't observe carefully, she could clearly feel that something was wrong with those people.
In addition to the grassland outside the city that was turned yellow by the flames, it seems that something difficult must have happened.
"actually...."
With a few simple descriptions, Qin told Yula everything that had happened in the past few days. Every time the number of casualties was added, Yula's pretty face became livid.
Everyone who died had a share of 'credit' from her uncle.
When Qin finished describing everything, Yura closed her eyes in pain.
Although she always thought her family was pedantic, she never expected that they would be so stupid!
"Captain Qin, let's take care of business."
At this point, Yola had no intention of speaking for her uncle.
In her opinion, for making such a big mistake, if she just punished her uncle, it would be a lenient treatment.
Hearing this, Qin pondered for a moment.
In fact, she had already thought about how to deal with it. The only thing that could heal the pain of the deceased's family was the life of the culprit.
"According to the laws of Mondstadt, treason should be punished by beheading."
The cold law is before our eyes, and both Qin and Youla must abide by it.
This is the code of the Knights and the obligation of the citizens of Mondstadt.
"so be it."
Yora was not interested in continuing to discuss this issue with Qin. Although her uncle deserved to die, as a family member, she should avoid suspicion. Not to mention that the Lawrence family's status in the city was already embarrassing. Once this incident came out, it was probably not the case in the first place.
A good reputation will plummet further.
It's just that Yula doesn't want to participate, but Qin doesn't think so.
A trace of struggle flashed across her eyes.
"This afternoon, I will put up a notice to inform the citizens of Schubert Lawrence's crime, and then he will be executed in the square the next day."
The verdict came from the mouth of the knight leader, and Schubert's fate was also sealed.
However, it seems that she has other considerations.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin spoke out her inner thoughts.
