The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 73 Preparing to Go to Benlang Territory

The next day, the sun rose as usual. Mondstadt, which had ended the dragon disaster, was thriving. However, Bennett, who was out of tune with this environment, walked home dejectedly. Yesterday, he went to explore the ruins, but he triggered some mechanism and five ruins guards chased him for a whole night.

Fortunately, he was quite experienced in dealing with this kind of situation. He kept blocking the vision of the ruins guards behind various mud pits and big trees, and thus he only suffered minor injuries and successfully got rid of the ruins guards.

"Bennett, you didn't go to do the commission. That's perfect. There's a banquet at Angel's Gift tonight. Come and join us."

Last night, after Diluk said that he could bring his friends to participate, Ruo Jin went to the Cat's Tail Tavern early in the morning to invite Diona to participate. As a result, as soon as Ruo Jin arrived at the Cat's Tail Tavern, he was told by the owner of the Cat's Tail Tavern, Margaret, that because Mr. Duraf was injured, Diona had taken leave to go home to take care of Mr. Duraf. If he wanted to find Diona, he had to go to Qingquan Town.

Hearing that Mr. Duraf was injured, Ruo Jin didn't plan to disturb Diona. He ordered a normal cider at the Cat's Tail Tavern. As he drank, Ruo Jin fell into confusion. He thought about the people he had a good relationship with in Mond. After thinking about it, he only thought that he might find Diona at the Cat's Tail Tavern. He didn't know where the others lived.

Thinking of going to Angel's Gift to see Klee and Xiangling, as soon as he walked out of the Cat's Tail Tavern, Ruo Jin saw Bennett, who was covered in injuries.

"Brother Ruojin, you said you could take me to the banquet? That's great! Then can I take Lei Ze with me?"

Bennett, who had been in a bad mood after escaping for a whole night, heard Ruo Jin invite him to the party. His bad mood instantly disappeared, and the fatigue on his face was swept away. Of course, at this time he did not forget his good brother Lei Ze.

"Of course, but I'll go inform Reiser. Bennett, you should go find Barbara to treat your injuries first."

Seeing the wounds of varying sizes on Bennett's body, Ruo Jin decided to go to the Wolf Territory himself. Given Bennett's current condition, he was worried that Bennett would be carried back by Lei Ze.

"Okay, Brother Ruojin, please be careful on the road. If Lei Ze comes, tell him to wait for me at my house. Just bandage this minor injury."

With new motivation, Bennett walked towards Westwind Cathedral with full energy. Lei Ze hadn't been to his house for a long time, so he had to go home and clean up. Besides, Lei Ze might stay at his house at night, so he should take out the bedding and other things to dry in the sun.

"Jin, this time you go to the old wolf's territory and look for him. He should have a lot of good stuff. Those things are useless to me, but they should be useful to you. Go and see if you can get a few back."

As a demon who once competed with the Tornado Demon for the throne, King Rota did not believe that the old wolf Andrius would be as poor as him. At that time, all the demons, except King Rota who gave all the good things to Morax, had some good things in their hands.

"Boss Ruota, this is not good... After all, he was once a demon god. If he gets angry, it would be too unfair for me to die in Tevarin's hands instead of his."

Ruo Jin was a little hesitant. When he listened to various stories about the demon war period told by the Dragon King Ruota, he found that the demons in the stories were not good-tempered. Now, he was asked to face a former demon, and he was really unsure.

"You are afraid of nothing. You are my little brother. What can I do to that old wolf? Besides, the old wolf is just a remnant of his soul now."

"Okay... Boss Ruota, please don't cheat me."

Just when Ruo Jin was rushing to the Wolf Territory, Ying and Amber were investigating the wolf pack injuring people in Qingquan Town. Originally, this kind of matter should have been investigated by the captain-level Knights of Favonius, but because of the turmoil within the Knights Temperance in recent days and the assistance to the Xumi people's investigation.

The Knights of Favonius, who were already few in number, could not spare any manpower, so Captain Qin could only let Amber and Ying investigate the matter. However, when Hopkins saw that it was Amber, the scout knight, who came to investigate, his attitude towards Amber was extremely bad.

"You guys are back. Have you found any results from the investigation?"

"Mr. Hopkins, can you stand up now?"

Hopkins stood there and asked Amber with a sly look in his eyes, which surprised Paimon a little. Just now this man was lying on the ground and looked like he was about to die, but now he stood up so quickly, which was really magical.

"Haha, I've recovered. I can even say that I've crawled back from hell."

"So has the Knights come up with any results of their investigation?" Hopkins had a look of joy on his face as he survived a disaster. At the same time, he asked Amber questions without any hesitation, as if Amber was the one who should answer his questions. This impolite tone made Paimon and Ying very annoyed.

"From the remaining hair, we can only tell that the wolves should live in the Wolf Territory. Apart from that, there are no other clues."

"But don't worry, I will go to the Wolf Territory right away to investigate this matter thoroughly. The Knights will never allow such a dangerous thing to happen again."

Amber's good upbringing and outstanding knightly qualities made her answer Hopkins' questions seriously. At the same time, Amber also assured Hopkins that the Knights would seriously investigate the matter.

"Okay, okay, it's better to remedy the situation a little late than to do nothing."

Hopkins spread his hands, seeming somewhat dissatisfied with the result, as if he wanted to put the whole matter on the Knights. This made Paimon unable to bear it any longer, and he put his hands on his waist and complained loudly.

"Wow, this person is so rude."

"Hmph, no matter what you say, we are going to the Wolf Territory to do what we need to do."

"Hey, don't do anything stupid. The Wolf Territory is a very dangerous place. Come back soon."

Amber stamped her feet anxiously as she watched Robkins leave. What a bunch of people! Her grandfather's old saying about Liyue was indeed true: it's hard to persuade a damned person with kind words.

"What a joke! We are different from the Knights. We must take revenge for this."

The hunters instigated by Hopkins also clamored to go to the Wolf Territory to seek revenge on the wolves that attacked them. Duraf, who saw everything, shook his head and tried to persuade them.

"Come back soon, the Wolf Territory is very dangerous, young people should not be too impetuous."

"Mr. Duraf, if you are not full of energy, you are still a young man. You should stay at home and recuperate and wait for our good news."

A young hunter raised his head and confidently rebuked Duraf, who was choked and looked a little ugly. Well, why not just give up being a good man? He would go home and have the snacks bought from the Liyue caravan with his good daughter.

“It’s so miserable.”

"Eh? Mr. Dourav, what are you talking about?"

“I’m talking about their future.”

Paimon scratched her head. She didn't quite understand what Duraf said. Duraf looked deeply at the hunters' backs, then limped home with a simple crutch. He had said everything he needed to say, and as for the outcome, that was none of his business.

They, Katzlein, have always believed in the legend of the existence of a wolf king in the Wolf Territory, so when they were attacked by wolves, Olaf and Duraf asserted that it could not be the wolves from the Wolf Territory who did it. But even if they explained it to the hunters in Qingquan Town, these hunters who were blinded by anger did not believe it at all.

"Amber, what should we do?"

"What else can we do? Let's go to the Wolf Territory and protect them. I hope there won't be any casualties."

Amber feels a little tired because of Paimon's problem. As a Knight of Favonius, she has the obligation to protect the residents of Mondstadt. Even if some of these residents are suicidal, Amber will do her best to protect them.
