The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 208: People Kidnapped by the Fatui
In a remote alley in Mond City, Stanley, who was knocked unconscious without knowing what had happened, slowly opened his eyes. He wanted to stand up in a daze, but there was a force that prevented him from breaking free.

Thinking he had some serious illness, Stanley looked at his body hurriedly and saw a rope tied around his body. Stanley breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not a serious illness. It seemed that he could still do something for his friend. With the dizziness in his head, he slowly closed his eyes and wanted to sleep some more. Last night's hangover made this elderly man feel uncomfortable.

Wait, why was he tied up with ropes? Stanley's brain, paralyzed by alcohol, suddenly reacted. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the ropes on his body. Stanley never dreamed that an ordinary adventurer like him would be kidnapped.

"You, what do you two want to do? Aren't you the honorary knights appointed by Captain Jean himself? Why? Why would you do such a thing? Have the honorary knights of Mondstadt also been corrupted by Mora?"

When Stanley saw the two people standing in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, and then he cast a look of anger and disappointment at Ying. As for Walnut beside Ying, Stanley felt that this little girl who went to Angel's Gift every day to look for her lover was probably like him, a poor person kidnapped by this fallen Knight of Honor.

"I won't tell you what you want to know. Even if I die here, I, Stanley, won't tell you."

Looking at Stanley who was ready to die, Ying and Hu Tao were a little confused. From what this guy said, it seemed that there was something inside that they didn't know.

"It seems that the Fatui kidnapped him because he knew something."

Paimon flew around Stanley for several circles. Paimon, who thought he was extremely smart, did not see anything strange about Stanley. Ying was thinking about the name Stanley. She always felt as if she had heard of this name somewhere, but it seemed a little strange, and she really couldn't remember it for a while.

"Ying, aren't you an honorary knight of Mondstadt? Why don't you go and ask what happened?"

Kurumi blinked at Ying. She was also very curious about what secrets this ordinary-looking adventurer, who actually had another soul, had that could make so many Fatui come and kidnap him in broad daylight.

"He just said that to me. Hu Tao, do you think I can get anything out of him? Let's go tell Captain Qin and let her worry about it."

Ying was not interested in the drunken middle-aged adventurer in front of her. Even Paimon, who stayed with Stanley for a while, flew away with his nose covered. Seeing the actions of Ying and Paimon, Hu Tao, who had already smelled the strange smell in the air, silently took a few steps back. The smell of this guy named Stanley was too strong.

"But if we don't care about him, this guy won't be able to survive until Captain Jean arrives here. The Fatui won't give up their goal that easily."

Walnut took out the Homa Staff and pointed it at the corpses of the Fatui not far away. At the same time, her plum blossom eyes looked around vigilantly. Because she had been dealing with corpses for many years, Walnut was very sensitive to the breath of different people.

If she guessed correctly, there should be some Fatui hiding in the dark who want to kidnap this adventurer. Oh, if only A Jin were here, his geomagnetic perception would make it so that these Fatui could not hide anywhere, and she could just hit wherever A Jin pointed.

Hu Tao pouted. If she had known she would be involved in such a thing, she should not have followed Ying out of curiosity when she saw her running all the way. If she had gone to find A Jin first, with A Jin's perception of the earth veins, she would not be so passive now. "What secrets do you have as a drunkard that can make the Fatui send so many people to hunt you down? This hall master has held funerals for so many people killed by the Fatui, but this is the first time I have seen two teams sent out at the same time just to kidnap one person."

After silently counting the bodies of the Fatui on the ground and adding the faint smell coming from the surroundings, Hu Tao guessed that she and Ying should have killed a group of Fatui just now, and there was at least one group of Fatui hiding in the dark.

"Could it be that you are the illegitimate child of a high-ranking official in the Kingdom of Winter? Now that the high-ranking official has died, his descendants are worried that an illegitimate child like you will fight for the family property, so they sent people to arrest you?"

"Or did you fall in love with the Queen of the Kingdom of Winter when you were adventuring, and then after discovering the identity of their Queen, you felt that you were not worthy of their Queen, so you dumped her and came to Mondstadt alone to get drunk all day?"

Recently, she has been buying a lot of light novels at the newly opened Yaedo in Liyue Harbor. Hu Tao's brain instantly thought of all kinds of melodramatic light novel plots, and she became more and more excited as she talked.

The faces of the Fatui who were approaching in the dark were becoming increasingly gloomy, because the order they had received was indeed to capture the adventurer alive. Could it be that this seemingly foolish adventurer really had dumped their Queen?

For a moment, this strange idea appeared in the minds of this group of Fatui at the same time, and then they felt it was impossible. After all, how could the high and mighty Queen be interested in an ordinary person? But even if the Queen looked down on him, it was hard to say for sure about the other high-ranking officials of Winter Solstice.

Two debt handlers who had worked together for many years subconsciously looked at their companions. Just now they were planning to directly cut off the adventurer's legs so that they wouldn't have to worry about the adventurer escaping. Now it seems that this method doesn't work.

After all, it is better to be safe than sorry. What if this middle-aged adventurer is the illegitimate son or mistress of some high-ranking official of the Kingdom of Winter? If they did this, their bodies would be found in the wild the next day.

Hu Tao's words made the Fatui, who had always been carrying out assassination missions, start to murmur in their hearts. After all, they had never seen a mission to capture a person alive.

"Hu Tao, which light novel did you read this bloody plot from? The Queen of the Winter Kingdom is a god. She would never fall for a piece of trash like Bibi Dong did."

Ying rolled her eyes at Hu Tao. When she and her brother traveled to Douluo Continent, her brother went to play with the soul beasts, but Ying lived in the human world for a while. Although she left Douluo Continent with her brother after staying there for a few years, before leaving, Ying made a special effort to inquire about the Queen-like Pope of the Spirit Hall.

After she learned about the story of the Pope, Ying was puzzled for a while. After leaving the world of Douluo Continent for so many years, she still didn't understand why Bibi Dong, who had both strength and good looks, would fall in love with that useless "master".
