The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 68 Rosalia's Invitation

At nightfall, Mondstadt tonight has undergone a drastic change from last night. Last night, Mondstadt was a deserted city with few pedestrians on the road, but tonight it is brightly lit and bustling with people, creating a lively scene everywhere.

Ever since the Knights of Favonius issued a notice announcing the end of the dragon plague, the entire city of Mondstadt has been plunged into a festive atmosphere. Countless closed shops have opened their doors and prepared to operate, various roadside vendors have immediately set up stalls to grab a good position, and restaurants such as the Deer Hunter have contacted various suppliers to continuously transport ingredients to the warehouse in preparation for a big business.

In just one afternoon, the entire city of Mond seemed to have changed. There were all kinds of hawking, shouting, and noise. The children were finally allowed by their parents to play in the streets at night. They ran and played in the streets with all kinds of toys and snacks in their hands.

Without the influence of the dragon disaster, this thousand-year-old city seemed to be gradually recovering its former appearance. Although it was still not as prosperous as Liyue Harbor, it was much more lively than when Ruo Jin first arrived.

"Boss Ruota, there are quite a lot of people in Mondstadt tonight. It seems that Mondstadt is getting back on track after the dragon disaster is lifted."

"It feels okay, just so-so. Liyue Harbor is much more lively than Mondstadt."

Inside the seal, the Dragon King Ruota and Ruojin were chatting casually. It was already time to go to bed. The Dragon King Ruota, who had developed the good habit of going to bed on time at night, had already lay down inside the seal and prepared to sleep.

Ruo Jin, on the other hand, was about to leave Mondstadt in a few days. Thinking back on his experiences in Mondstadt these days, he, who usually went to bed on time, suddenly suffered from insomnia.

"I say, Rosalia, there was a door but you insisted on going through the window. Aren't you afraid of being seen and misunderstood by others in the middle of the night?"

Ruojin, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes and looked towards the window. Rosalia was sitting on the windowsill playing with the dagger in her hand. Her iconic dead fish eyes stared at Ruojin on the bed without any fluctuation, as if she didn't care at all.

"I saw the Dark Night Hero you asked me to keep an eye on take action tonight. If you want to know who the Dark Night Hero is, get up quickly. I don't have much time to wait for you."

Dark Night Hero? These four words made Ruo Jin jump out of bed. He had heard about the deeds of the Dark Night Hero in Liyue. If he could get to know this person who secretly protected Mondstadt, staying up late at night would not be a big deal.

"Come on, come on, I'll work overtime with you tonight."

"Before I go find the Dark Night Hero, I have some work to do. Please help me keep an eye out for any fish that slip through the net and escape."

Rosalia sheathed her dagger and jumped off the windowsill, quickly blending into the darkness of Mondstadt. Behind her, for some reason, Ruo Jin suddenly felt that he had become a tool. Oh no, he had become a traveler.

Following Rosalia to her workplace, Ruo Jin saw a house that looked quite luxurious from the outside. It was obvious that this house was where the nobles of Mond lived.

There was a strange light in Ruojin's eyes. He knew what job Rosalia was talking about, but he didn't expect that Rosalia's target this time would be a noble.

"Rosalia, are you sure you want to do it? Even if you hand them over to the Knights of Favonius, with the power of the nobles and the scarce evidence, the Knights of Favonius won't be able to judge them."

"Trial? The Knights? Haven't you heard that Lord Bartobas will judge your sins?" "How to judge them is Lord Bartobas's business, and I am responsible for getting them to see Lord Bartobas."

There was no emotion in Rosalia's dead eyes, as if dealing with these nobles was just a common thing for her.

Ruo Jin gave Rosalia a thumbs up. He not only admired Rosalia's attitude of not fearing the nobles, but also admired her for being a nun and actually calling the name of the God of Wind wrong. She was worthy of being a believer of the God of Wind and was really free.

Since they had chosen assassination, the two men approached the house in the dark. For some reason, the house was unusually quiet. Standing at the foot of the wall, a smell of blood came into Ruojin and Rosalia's noses with the breeze. Ruojin, who sensed the abnormality, opened his earth vein perception and said to Rosalia with a complicated expression.

"Congratulations, Rosalia. You don't have to work overtime today. Your work has been completed by others. There is no living thing in the house. Even the pigeons raised by this noble have been roasted."

Huh? Her target was actually taken first? Rosaria's dead fish eyes moved. She didn't expect this result. Has that guy become so strong?

Before Rosalia could enter the house to check, a noisy sound of footsteps suddenly reached her ears. In order to avoid being discovered, Rosalia jumped onto the roof with Ruojin and secretly observed the situation on the ground. Accompanied by a noise, in their sight, Kaeya and a group of Favonius Knights soon appeared in front of the house filled with the smell of blood.

"Kaia? Favonius Knight? Why are they here?"

Not to mention Rosalia, the Knights of Favonius were also confused about this question. Many of them were responsible for field patrols, but today they were all suddenly recalled.

At first, the Knights of Favonius thought that they were going to be given a holiday to rest or to maintain order in Mondstadt. However, when they returned to Mondstadt, Captain Jean did not give any orders but just asked them to stay on standby in Mondstadt.

Looking at the bustling and prosperous scene in Mondstadt, many Knights of Favonius began to wonder in their hearts, could it be that Captain Jean forgot about them after calling them back?
Kaiya was still confused at first, until his intelligence officer told him that his sworn brother disappeared in the angel's gift. Only then did Kaiya realize that there would definitely be a big move tonight, and it would even be a sleepless night.

Facts proved that his guess was correct. Looking at the corpses and traces of fire burns on the ground in the house, Kaeya swallowed his saliva. Although he didn't know what consensus his sworn brother and Captain Qin had reached, he knew that after tonight, the forces within the Knights of Favonius would definitely face a major purge.

But this can be considered a good thing. At least there won't be so many corrupt officials in the Knights Templar. After calming down his slightly fluctuating emotions and picking up the roasted pigeon on the ground as a midnight snack, Kaeya began to organize the Knights of Favonius to search the house for any living people.

During the search, the Knights of Favonius soon discovered the evidence that had been placed in a conspicuous place. After seeing the evidence describing the various evil deeds of this noble family and their collusion with the Fatui to harm the people of Mond, the searching Knights of Favonius wished they could resurrect this noble family and stab them a few more times.

"It seems that the acting leader has finally made up his mind to deal with these rats. This is good. I can relax a little bit."

Standing on a high place and looking down at the actions of the Knights of Favonius, Rosalia's tone was a little lazy. The reason why she wanted to bring Ruo Jin with her this time was that she planned to kill all the nobles in this family without leaving any alive. Unexpectedly, that guy was faster and handled it more cleanly than her. He was worthy of being a famous genius in the Knights Templar.

"Let's go, have a drink together, and wait for the Dark Night Hero you want to meet."
