The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 17 Conflict intensifies
The guard's words were like drilling a hole in a wooden barrel full of water, instantly allowing the young nobleman to find an outlet for his anger. He stared at the confused 'culprit' Bennett with a ferocious look on his face.

"Okay, I was wondering why I was so unlucky, it turns out it was you who did it."

"No, it's not my business."

The words of the young nobleman made Bennett panic. The naive Bennett tried to explain at a loss, but the guards around him didn't care. All they wanted was a scapegoat to bear the anger. Bennett, who was helpless and notoriously unlucky in Mondstadt, was undoubtedly the best candidate.

"Shut up, a mere pariah dares to quibble."

After hearing Bennett's explanation, the young nobleman became even angrier. He drew the polished sacrificial sword from his waist and angrily told Bennett to shut up, because according to Bennett, the accident was purely his bad luck and had nothing to do with Bennett.

This made the young nobleman, who had been taught since childhood that he was superior to others, simply unable to accept it. In his mind, their Lawrence family was the most perfect, and it was impossible and impossible for them to be so unlucky, let alone swallow pigeon poop. All this was caused by the unlucky guy in front of him, and this unlucky guy was deceiving him in order to cleanse his own sins.

The noble young master's angry rebuke made the hearts of the guards around him tremble. They knew that today's matter might not end well. If they didn't see blood, their young master would not let it go.

"How dare you treat a noble like this? I think you are tired of living. Capture him for me. I want to let these untouchables know the consequences of insulting a noble."

The guards guarding the young noble master drew their weapons and began to approach Bennett, as if they were afraid that Bennett, who possessed the Eye of God, would hurt their young noble master. The guards also sent several people to protect the young noble master at the back, while the young noble master who was protected at the back continued to clamor.

Ruo Jin frowned. Are the nobles of Mondstadt so arrogant? The behavior of this young noble was somewhat beyond his expectations. He originally just wanted to scare the group of pigeons to teach this young noble a lesson.

No one expected that this young nobleman would actually draw his weapon in public. Aren't they worried that the Knights of Favonius would capture them, or have the Knights of Favonius and these nobles already been in cahoots with each other?

Moreover, after seeing this happening, why didn't anyone stand up? If you look around, you will see that there are strong people, but they are just watching and talking without making any move to step forward to help.

Ruojin was trying to squeeze out to help Bennett when a middle-aged Mondstadt man suddenly stood in front of him. This middle-aged uncle was also a kind and smart man. Seeing that Ruojin was wearing Liyue clothes, the uncle immediately guessed that Ruojin wanted to be a hero. After all, everyone in Liyue has a dream of becoming a hero, which can be seen from the novels about Liyue.

“Little brother, you are a foreigner, so don’t get involved even if you have divine eyes. It’s too easy for the Lawrence family to deal with foreigners like you.”

"Take my advice and just wait and see. With such a big commotion, the Knights should be here soon. That kid won't be in any danger."

The middle-aged uncle who grew up in Mondstadt was well aware of the brutality of the Lawrence clan. He had been saved by the Liyue people when he was doing business before, and he didn't want to see this chivalrous Liyue brother die here, so he kindly tried to dissuade them.

"Thank you for telling me this, uncle, but Bennett is my friend and I can't watch him being bullied."

Weiwei pushed the kind-hearted uncle aside with some force, and then walked straight towards the guards, which made the uncle very anxious.

The middle-aged man who was pushed aside stamped his feet anxiously when he saw that he couldn't persuade Ruo Jin. He didn't want to see the young man lose his life like this.

In order to save the boy, the uncle turned and ran towards the office building of the Knights of Favonius. He was worried that ordinary Knights of Favonius might not be able to suppress the people of Lawrence's family.

"Young man, you have to hold on. I'll go find Captain Qin right away." Seeing a group of people holding swords slowly approaching, Bennett put the bag containing Mora on his waist and pulled out the Flying Sword that he had saved up for a long time to buy.

His fathers often taught him to be kind to others and try not to have conflicts with others, but his fathers also told him that if someone wanted to hurt him and his friends, then don't worry about being kind or not, just take up weapons and fight, and as long as no one was killed, the Knights of Favonius would generally classify the incident as self-defense.

The Eye of the Fire Element God hanging on his waist emitted a red light, and the flying sword in Bennett's hand was enveloped by the fire element. The red color of the flame was reflected on the unfriendly faces of the guards around him. The captain of the guard raised his hand, and several guards behind him immediately took out their bows and arrows and aimed at Bennett.

The captain of the guard is very experienced in dealing with the holders of the Eye of God. Except for some holders of the Eye of God who have mastered the skills to cast shields on themselves, the rest of the holders of the Eye of God have very low defense.

The holder of this kind of Divine Eye would basically lose the ability to fight after being hit by a few arrows, and at that time, he would have no choice but to be slaughtered by him.

In the sunlight, the metal tips of the arrows flashed coldly. Bennett looked at the guards holding bows and arrows vigilantly. Bennett, who had been shot by Hilichurl crossbowmen many times in the wild, was very clear about the power of long-range weapons. Those arrows, not to mention shooting at the body, even if they shot at non-vital parts such as the buttocks, could make people hurt half to death.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry and catch him. I will destroy him and let him know the consequences of angering the nobles!"

More and more people came to watch the show, and the young master of the Lawrence family wanted to use Bennett to regain his face and let the people around him see the consequences of provoking him.

Hearing the urging, the captain of the guard had to give up the method of putting pressure on Bennett to reduce losses. With his order, he rushed towards Bennett with several guards, and the guards behind them also began to shoot arrows tacitly to cover them.

Bennett had to dodge the incoming arrows while fighting the rushing captain of the guard. Even though he had the Eye of God, he was still in a panic for a moment. Seeing that Bennett's situation was becoming more and more dangerous, a voice full of ridicule disturbed the joy in the captain of the guard's heart.

"Tsk, a group of middle-aged people bullying a child, how shameless."

"who?"

The captain of the guard turned around to see who was so brave, and a black shadow whizzed towards him. What was this, a sword? The captain of the guard blinked, and when he saw the black shadow clearly, it was too late to dodge. The huge sword was wrapped in a huge force and directly knocked him out.

"Brother Ruojin!"

Recognizing the Wugong Sword stuck in the ground, Bennett shouted excitedly. He didn't expect Ruo Jin would actually offend Lawrence's family for him.

The captain of the guard who was knocked away was also quite capable. He struggled to get up from the ground after being hit by Ruojin's sword. Looking at Ruojin who walked to Bennett, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and threatened.

"Sir, are you a foreigner and are you sure you want to get involved in this matter? Aren't you afraid that you will die in the wild one day?"

"I can't help it. Who told you to attack my friend? Besides, I don't think a few ants can shake a dragon lizard."
