Chapter 582 The Knights’ Double Commission(1/2)
"Ugh...that sucks."
The next day, Bai Qiyun walked on the streets of Mondstadt with exhaustion written all over his face.
Last night, in order to deal with Kujo Sanra who almost went berserk, he and his wife spent all their strength to subdue him.
It has to be said that sometimes biological instinct can make a person burst out with unprecedented fighting power.
Especially when the other party is still a tengu.
"Why are you sighing so early in the morning?"
Completely opposite to the young man's mental outlook is the blue-haired knight beside him.
Youra stood beside Bai Qiyun with a red face, preparing to go with him to the headquarters of the Knights.
Early this morning, Youla visited the residence of Bai Qiyun and others and verified what happened in the dream last night.
Although she came a little early, in a sense, she did get Bai Qiyun out of danger.
Even though he was still exhausted and dying, Bai Qiyun still followed Yura out of the house without hesitation, leaving space for Kujo Sora and Ying.
"It's nothing, I just didn't get a good rest last night."
Bai Qiyun's face darkened, and he didn't know what he thought of.
Anyway, if he is unhappy, Youla is very happy.
There is nothing more satisfying than waking up and seeing the frowning face of your 'enemy'.
"Hmph..."
The two of them passed the Deer Hunter's restaurant and walked uptown.
"Hey, have you heard that the Lawrence family has had problems again recently?"
"what? What?"
When passing by a street corner, a worrying word came from not far away, which made Yura's footsteps stop for half a minute.
But soon, as if she hadn't heard anything, she walked forward calmly, leaving those rumors behind her.
Bai Qiyun looked at the two people chattering behind him strangely, and silently kept this incident in his heart.
Along the way, people started to gossip more and more, most of which were rumors about the Lawrence family.
Some of them said that Youla had an inappropriate private life, singing and singing every night, and showing off her sex during the day.
Some say the Lawrence family exploited their workers after regaining control of their territory.
Others say that the Laurence family used unfair means to secretly control the wine market in Mondstadt.
Wait, isn't there something wrong with the last item? It seems that Diluc was included in the curse as well.
In short, Bai Qiyun looked at Youla's increasingly gloomy face and did not dare to say another word.
Are these people blind? They can't even see Yula's obvious virginity. Even he, an inexperienced virgin, can see it. Or are they just thinking about how to arrange Yura's virginity?
According to this guy's vengeful temperament, these people will have an easier time in the future.
Bai Qiyun silently prayed for the floor of Mondstadt.
What? Why don't you think he's worried about those citizens?
Isn't it normal for someone to be beaten after being caught talking behind someone's back? And he even said it so much.
Instead of worrying about them, it is better to worry about the recent price of the slate and how much civilian tax money the Knights will need to repair it when it is damaged.
Oh, come to think of it, other residents of Mondstadt are footing the bill for these people.
Tsk tsk tsk.
"Hey, don't walk too fast."
Gradually, Bai Qiyun couldn't keep up with Youla's pace.
This woman was not walking at all, but running.
But Yora had no intention of stopping and was still moving forward quickly, as if she was trying to escape from here.
Escape from this prison wrapped in rumors.
Soon, the two arrived at the headquarters of the Knights one after another.
Due to the Wine Festival, the current knights are sparsely manned, and most of the knights have been sent out to maintain order.
"So the Knights are not planning to recruit more people?"
In order to break the slightly awkward atmosphere just now, Bai Qiyun deliberately changed the topic.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Ula's face, which was so dark before, lightened up a lot.
"Perhaps the leader has some political considerations."
Just like the selection at Inazuma Narukami Grand Shrine, the Knights of the West Wind Knights also have their own exclusive selection method.
In addition to the special path of direct recommendation from the captain of the group, the formal entrance examination is held every two years.
But now that manpower is scarce, normally it would be most appropriate to increase the exam to once a year.
By the way, in the previous exam, a certain trainee maid failed again, and it was under the personal instruction of Captain Qin.
Ignoring the strange looks from the knights around them, the two walked into the captain's office.
It is still very popular in the office today.
Early in the morning, the three of them were sitting in the office staring at each other.
"Ah, Yora is here."
Hearing the sound at the door, Lisa, who had a headache before, quickly stepped forward to greet her.
"Hey, Brother Bai is also free to come to the Knights?"
On the other side, Kaiya also stood up and walked to Bai Qiyun's side.
Bai Qiyun's expression changed.
Good guy, is this one-to-one tutoring? But he is not a child and does not need extracurricular tutoring.
Qin sat behind the desk with a sad look on her face. She was obviously a beauty, but she became like this because of the tiring official duties of the Knights.
"If you have something to discuss with a few of them."
Bai Qiyun nodded to Youla, who quickly broke away from Lisa's broad arms and came forward.
Yora cleared her throat and told everything that happened in her dream last night.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the office froze.
"this..."
Qin looked at Lisa, only to find that Lisa was also looking at her.
After all, this kind of thing is really incredible.
But compared to Qin, who devotes herself to serving the Knights and spends most of her time immersed in swordsmanship, the Witch of the Rose obviously understands these weird things better than Qin.
Lisa lowered her head, and the purple witch hat on her head also bent slightly, covering the side of her neck as white as jade.
"Well...if I guess correctly, it should be the power of a certain demon god."
"Is it the power of the devil?"
Bai Qiyun repeated it in his mouth, feeling that there was not much difference with his speculation.
He then told several people the whole story of what had happened before, especially the matter of the Lord of the Rings.
Hearing this, even Kaia on the side couldn't help but show a thoughtful look.
"So, maybe he really is a certain demon god."
Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something.
Kaia said with fists.
"I heard that Inazuma caused a big mess a while ago. The detectors of the Knights were ringing for a long time, and there was a lot of demonic aura in them. Maybe it was the influence of that time."
When it comes to Rice Wife, Bai Qiyun doesn't know what to say.
The two things may be somewhat involved, but it always feels like they have little to do with him.
"In this case, Brother Bai, you and I will go find Albedo later. Maybe he can know something about this ring."
When it comes to items, alchemists are obviously the most reliable people.
"Well, that's fine too."
Qin nodded slightly.
After all, the three of them really can't help with these matters.
But having said that, if this thing really involves the Demon God, then it is very likely that what the other party said is not true.
If the mastermind behind the Mondstadt crisis can really be caught through that game... that would be pretty good.
To be continued...
