The various goods bundled on the cart were indeed the goods that Baroque had lost before, but he noticed something strange about them after just one glance.

This amount...is too much.

It was even more than the number of losses he reported before. It was obvious that this item was not the goods he had lost before.

Baroque turned around and looked at the smiling cavalry captain beside him. His lips moved a few times but did not make any sound.

After a while, he let out a long sigh.

"That's right, Mr. Kaia, all my goods are here. Thanks to the help of the Knights of the West Wind, otherwise the stolen treasure group would have been a disaster this time."

For some reason, Baroque suddenly raised his voice so that people walking around could hear him clearly.

Seeing this, Kaia, who was already smiling, became even more smiley.

Working with smart people really saves effort.

He nodded towards the middle-aged man in front of him.

"It's okay. These are what the Knights should do. It should be our duty to protect the property safety of every merchant. Mr. Baroque is so complimentary."

In front of the pedestrians, Kaia tried his best to behave like a dutiful knight of the west wind.

He waved to the knight behind him.

"Send these things back for Mr. Baroque."

"Yes, Captain Kaia."

Several West Wind knights immediately followed the middle-aged businessman with their carts, ready to set off at any time.

"In that case, I'll take my leave."

"Bon voyage, Mr. Baroque."

Seeing the merchant's retreating figure, Kaia, who had been smiling just now, immediately turned cold.

"How's that group of treasure thieves doing?"

As the assistant of the cavalry captain, the knight beside Kaia naturally knew that the man was talking about the group of guys captured by the honorary knights from Liyue.

"He is being held in a dungeon, awaiting trial."

Hearing this, Kaiya waved his hand.

"No need, just charge these guys with the crime of theft and robbery. Is there anything else that needs to be done about taking the stolen goods?"

Hearing this, the corners of Shishou's mouth couldn't help but tremble.

Yes, he was caught, but the stolen goods...didn't we buy them with our own money?

But he knew Kaia's intention, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

"yes."

The subordinates behind him slowly retreated, and Kaia waved his hand.

He is not worried about the ragtag group of treasure thieves, but mishandling such a big case during the festival will have an impact on the external reputation of Mondstadt.

So he first contacted the winery, and used part of the funds to buy a copy of the Baroque goods from other channels, pretending that the stolen goods had been recovered.

Then he spread the news to the businessmen who were paying attention to this moment. However, due to Baroque's cooperative performance, it is estimated that he does not need to deliberately publicize this matter. Soon, the news will spread in the city.

But this matter is not over yet. It's fine for him to expend energy and money. I want him to hold back his breath. He has never been such a good-tempered person.

Crossing a lake, he looked at the tall tower on the other side, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Some things just haven't been cleared yet.

Seeing the black wolf slowly disappearing on the ground, Bai Qiyun's expression became more solemn.

Originally, a few people were going to continue their journey with their luggage today, but unexpectedly, a few of the same monsters as before appeared on the way.

What's going on? Isn't there the power of the devil guarding this place?

"Maybe our plans have to change too."

Seeing the monsters everywhere, Ying, as an honorary knight, could not sit idly by.

Although doing this will take some time, these guys are really in the way. If they are encountered by passers-by in the wilderness, it will be a big trouble.

"You're right, but it would be faster to ask the locals than for us to wander around like headless flies."

"Locals? But isn't this the Wolf Territory?"

Looking at Paimeng's face full of doubts, Bai Qiyun's lips raised a mysterious smile.

Are there no humans left in the Benlang Territory?

After crossing the hill, Bai Qiyun led a few people to a simple cave. In his perception, the person who could help them was here.

Before anyone could approach, a young man wearing a hood walked out of the cave.

He wrinkled his nose, as if smelling something, and held a somewhat damaged sword in his hand.

"Hey, Lei Ze."

That's right, what Bai Qiyun is looking for is Lei Ze, whom he has met once before.

He had never seen this guy again after saying goodbye to Keli last time. Fortunately, Keli had informed him of Lei Ze's location before, otherwise it would have been difficult to find someone in this deep mountain and old forest.

"It's you."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Lei Ze lowered his guard slightly.

The familiar smell made him feel safe.

Originally, Bai Qiyun planned to ask directly about the recent events of the Benlang leader, but seeing Lei Ze's scarred appearance now, he was too embarrassed to speak.

"What's wrong with you."

Perhaps it was the sudden concern from outsiders that made Lei Ze very uncomfortable. He shook his head and did not reply.

"I'm fine."

Seeing this, Bai Qiyun could only ignore the topic and go straight to the topic.

"Actually, Lei Ze, we found a lot of black wolves on the hillside over there when we came here. Do you know what happened?"

After hearing Bai Qiyun's words, Lei Ze, who looked tired just now, immediately became serious.

"They are dangerous."

Although the words were still intermittent, the tone was obviously much more serious.

"Well, yes, so Ying and I plan to get rid of them before they endanger passers-by."

It's not that Bai Qiyun doesn't want to inform the Knights, it's just that the Knights are busy with the arrangements for the Wind Flower Festival and really can't spare any manpower.

"actually..."

Hearing this, Lei Ze's face moved slightly and he told the two of them what had happened in the past few days.

It turns out that, for some unknown reason, a group of black wild wolves suddenly appeared near the Benlang Territory. Not only did they compete with the local wolves for food, but they also attacked passers-by, causing the surrounding residents to be suspicious of the wolves in the mountains.

Very disgusting.

One day, a group of humans went up to the mountain to demand an explanation. They wanted to attack the wolves, and even beat Lei Ze. The stupid Lei Ze couldn't explain it at all, so he could only let the group of people beat him.

He knew that if he avoided it, the group of people would move towards the wolves, which would be even more detrimental to the safety of the entire wolf pack.

After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, in addition to sighing that Lei Ze was stupid for not fighting back, Bai Qiyun clearly felt that this guy seemed to speak more fluently than before.

It was probably the experience of contacting everyone in Mondstadt that made him dare to speak more.

"In this case, our goals are the same."

Drive out the group of black wolves, leaving no one behind.

————

After the plan was finalized, several people followed Lei Ze forward.

During this period, there were some white wolves watching from the sidelines, but I don't know if it was because of Lei Ze, but those wolves had no intention of harming anyone.

But being stared at by a pack of wolves was not something that was easy to accept. Paimon, who was not very courageous at first, shrank directly behind Ying Ying, not daring to look directly at them.

Fortunately, they were afraid that after passing this hillside, they would distance themselves from the wolves and never see each other again.

After getting away from the sight of the wolves, Paimon let out a long breath, still feeling terrified.

"Huh~"

However, the little guy's thoughts were not noticed by anyone, and they could only hold Paimon's hand tightly.

Bai Qiyun used his elemental vision in front to explore the presence of the black wolf. His eyes swept across the hillside, and green grassland came into view. The green ocean rolled up under the blowing of the autumn wind, just like a green ocean.

"Um?"

The young man's footsteps paused, attracting Ying's attention.

"What happened? Have you found any trace of those guys?"
