Chapter 69: Hero of the Dark Night
At five o'clock in the morning, the Ruota Dragon King in Ruojin's body had fallen into a deep sleep. The Ruota Dragon King, who had blocked his perception, was sleeping so soundly that Ruojin could even vaguely sense the snoring inside the seal.

After chatting with Rosaria for a whole night on the second floor of Angel's Gift, Ruo Jin not only learned that the night elf hero was Diluk, but he also had a deeper understanding of Mond.

All the previous information about Mond was recorded on paper, but it would not be as clear as chatting with an authentic Mond person, not to mention that this Mond person was a nun who knew a lot of secrets.

"No, the night hero you wanted to see has returned, but he seems to have brought two little followers with him."

"I won't go down to join in the fun. Goodbye."

Seeing Diluk walking into the Angel's Gift from afar through the window, Rosalia picked up the wine glass on the table, drank the cider in the glass, and jumped out of the window nimbly.

At this time, in the empty tavern, except for the bartender behind the bar, Ruojin was the only one sitting in the tavern. Diluk did not let Ruojin wait long. A few minutes later, Diluk brought Ying and Paimon into the Angel's Gift.

"Wow, Master Diluk, you are actually a night elf hero, that's amazing."

"If Ying had the strength of Master Diluk, I wouldn't have been frozen into an ice cube by that lady this afternoon."

Having entered the angel's gift, Paimeng, who had been holding back all the way, immediately started talking nonstop. This made Ying roll her eyes at Paimeng. Why mention her when she could just talk?

"Ying, Paimeng, it seems like you two didn't go home all night. If I had known, I would have let Guoba eat the chicken drumstick that Xiangling left for you."

"Hey, if you don't wait and let Guoba eat my chicken leg, wait, why are you in the Angel's Gift at this time?"

Ruojin's voice came from the second floor. Seeing Ruojin coming down from upstairs, Paimeng widened his eyes in disbelief. Ruojin raised his eyebrows and said strangely.

"I should be the one asking you this question. You and Ying have been doing this commission until now? Were you two deceived by someone?"

As soon as Ruo Jin said this, Ying clenched her fist and slammed it on the bar with such force that a dent was left on the paulownia wood bar. Paimon also clenched her little fist and waved it wildly in the air.

Seeing the looks of Ying and Paimeng, Ruo Jin had a strange expression on his face. Oh my god, could it be that they were really fooled by what he said? He just said it casually.

"That damned profiteer from the Kingdom of Winter, he'll be in big trouble next time I see him!"

Ying, who was usually not very talkative, gritted her teeth and squeezed out a word from her throat at this moment. The anger in her words made Ruo Jin even more curious. How did the profiteer from the Kingdom of Zhidong cheat Ying that made Ying so angry. Paimeng on the side strongly supported Ying's decision.

"Ying, I support you. Next time you see that profiteer, you must teach him a lesson!"

"He said that the reward would definitely satisfy us. We spent a whole night clearing out the monsters on the top, middle and bottom of the mountain and moving his goods onto the truck, but he only gave us 3,000 Mora as a reward. Isn't this bullying an honest man?"

"If some hillbillies hadn't suddenly appeared at that time, I, Paimon, would have had a good talk with him."

Wow! Ruo Jin exclaimed wow! A commission that took Yinghua one night to complete must be very difficult. Such a difficult commission was only given to Ying Sanqian Mora. Isn't this just treating a beggar like a prodigal?

"The merchant from the Kingdom of Winter you're talking about should be called Chayevich. He has been blacklisted by Mondstadt's adventurers because the rewards he gives for each commission are too low. So he can only cheat new adventurers who don't know him in the wild."

Inside the bar, after hearing Paimon's description, Diluk roughly guessed who the merchant from the Kingdom of Winter was. However, Diluk didn't want to deal with him now as he had more important things to do.

Diluk, slightly tired, poured a glass of grape juice for the men. After a night of intense fighting, even he was a little exhausted, but it was not time to rest yet. He had to figure out whether the Abyss Mage he met tonight was an accident. It was true that Tevarin had returned to normal, but the monsters affected by him in the wild had not returned to normal. These monsters were constantly approaching Mondstadt and were even gathering in greater numbers. He was worried that the Abyss would take this opportunity to attack Mondstadt.

"Chayevich, right? Okay, don't let me run into you next time."

"Diluk, Paimon and I will go back and rest first. We will arrive at the Dawn Winery on time tomorrow at noon."

Ying drank the grape juice in the glass. After a busy night, she needed to go back and have a good sleep. Thinking that she only earned three thousand Mora in one night, Ying felt a pang of pain.

On the way home, Ying kept telling herself that it was her fault for getting angry and sick, but the journey had to continue no matter what, Paimon still needed her support, and she also had to find her brother.

As she was thinking about it, Ying suddenly felt so damn tired. When she thought about it carefully, there were actually so many things to do. When she found that bastard Kong, she would definitely teach him a lesson. Why were you running around everywhere?

It's okay to run around, but you should save some Mora for your dear sister. Don't you know that your dear sister will be penniless when she wakes up? If it weren't for Ruojin, Ying felt that she and Paimon would have to sleep on the benches in Mondstadt for the first few days in the city.

And if she hadn't accidentally discovered the secret of Diluk's night elf hero today, she wouldn't have received a well-paid commission from Diluk, and her goal of exchanging a good weapon in Liyue Harbor would have been postponed for a long time.

Thinking of the three thousand Moras in her pocket, Ying felt her chest begin to ache again. She was a young girl who had lived for who knows how many years, but she was actually cheated by such a swindler. If her brother knew about this, who knows how he would laugh.

"Just wait, you bunch of profiteers. Sooner or later, I will rip you all off!"

In Angel's Gift, the bartender Charles tactfully left the tavern, and Ruojin leaned on the bar and chatted with Diluk.

"Diluk, you won't kill all the nobles today, will you?"

"No, I only killed the nobles who were in collusion with the Fatui. Those nobles who were simply corrupt and accepted bribes will be handed over to the Knights for investigation."

"Although those guys in the Knights Order did nothing, the evidence was in front of them, and they still investigated impartially. This is one of the few advantages of the Knights Order."

Diluk leaned back in his chair, his disdain for the Knights was clearly evident even though his face was filled with fatigue. Ruo Jin shrugged. He had been seeing the Knights' slackness these days, so what Diluk said was not unreasonable.

"You should take care of yourself. Your body won't be able to handle this kind of hard work."

Under the perception of the earth veins, Diluk's physical condition was clearly presented in Ruo Jin's mind. Although there was no serious problem, there were many minor hidden injuries. If this continued, Diluk would suffer when he got old.

Ruojin's concern was met with Diluk's silence. He knew his body very well. Ruojin's concern touched him, but he would not give up his persistence.

Seeing that Diluk didn't reply, Ruo Jin looked at the scenery outside the window boredly. Outside the window, the sun had already appeared in the sky at some point. Considering what had happened recently, Ruo Jin couldn't help but sigh.

"The dawn in Mondstadt is quite beautiful. Now that the dragon plague is over, this dawn can be considered a symbol of hope."

Yes, that is hope. Diluk raised his head and looked at the sky through the window. The morning sun, a symbol of hope, was rising slowly. The faint sunlight shone on Diluk's face. Diluk half-squinted his eyes as if he was talking to Ruojin or to himself.

“The reason why dawn is so beautiful is that it comes out of the darkest night, and before dawn arrives, someone must illuminate the darkness a little.”
