People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 449 Zhongli: Although I am not good at fighting, but.
"Anything you want to say? About this disobedience of orders."

"If my memory is not as bad as that failed mechanical doll made by Femini, then Fjöll, Nanteuil, you two shouldn't be here."

Like a ghost coming from the shadows, a voice without warmth came from behind the two young members of the Hearth House.

Even though they were discussing a topic that absolutely could not be heard, no emotion could be heard from the speaker's usual steady tone.

"Explain what you are planning to do. Are you in your rebellious phase and want to do some mischief to attract other people's attention?"

"If you can't give me a convincing reason, then you will be punished according to the rules of your 'home' when you return."

? ? !

I originally thought that the two of them were dead, and they would probably be killed by "Father" on the spot, just like the traitors in the Hearth House before, and disappear completely.
But when Alechino's punishment was handed down, Fjöll suddenly realized that their conversation just now seemed to have fortunately not been heard?
".Sorry, "Father", Nanteuil and I will take the initiative to accept the punishment. This time it was our negligence."

I don't intend to explain and I can't explain. Any lie will become a bigger flaw in front of the master of the Hearth House.
Although the punishment for neglecting orders was not light, and they were unwilling to bear it in the past, now that "father" had given them the option of accepting the punishment, it would be better to just admit the mistake rather than being fired.

"Oh, did you notice those uninvited guests who were about to come out?"

".I never knew you two had such a sense of justice. Are you planning to rescue us like the heroes in the drama?"

"Go back and accept your punishment. Don't do anything unnecessary during the mission."

???

Obviously, they were the ones who wanted to jump out and rob, but from what the father said, it seemed that there was another group of kidnappers with the same purpose who had not yet appeared.
There was a slight silence, and the boy and girl who longed for freedom looked at each other.
After the life-and-death crisis was inexplicably resolved, they suddenly wanted to know who was their counterpart.

At the same time, the "robbery target" was targeted.

"."

"Friend, there's someone in the bush over there, and he seems to have bad intentions."

"I know this."

"Friend, there are people in the bushes over there, and there is a Fatui executive with a very unique aura."

"Well, I know this too."

"."

In the middle of the road, as if unaware of the situation on both sides, a seemingly weak spring outing team continued to move forward as usual.

Not only did it not show any signs of vigilance, it even acted as if it was exploring the surrounding environment, gradually deviating from the busy road and walking onto a path in the woods.

But even though the environment here is more complex and deep, except for Paimon who is obsessed with eating and Walnut who is jumping around, everyone else is more or less aware of the situation on both sides.

Although he joked to Paimon before setting off that he might be robbed, when he really sensed the two bright auras on the roadside,
Lin Feng also looked up at the sky in confusion, wanting to know what was going on in these guys' minds.

"Although the location where I wear the Eye of God is not very obvious, do I really look that weak?"

".I can understand the two Fatui who conspired in public, but what about the other group?"

I finally took this group of "old, weak, sick and disabled" out for a tour, but as soon as we got there, we encountered this rare event.
Lin Feng thought about the self-defense weapons distributed to the scholars by the Academy of Teachings, and felt that the scholars were still a little too weak in terms of deterrence.

“——With the blessing of our ancestors, whether we can revive the glory of the Lawrence family depends on this time!”

"If what those guys we met at the border said is true, then as long as we show our 'sincerity' and take advantage of those idiots a little, there will be hope for our family to be glorious again!"

On the other side of the road, in the middle of dense trees.

He was unaware that his presence had been discovered by the target of the kidnapping or even another group of robbers.
Two young men who pay attention to their appearance and don't want to mess up their hair even when they are sneaking around are dreaming of becoming heroes of the family:
——Before the Fatui evacuated from Mondstadt, the family actually cooperated with those guys, and the leader was an elder in the family named "Schubert".

Since childhood, I have read the books that record the glorious history of my family, and I also yearn for the glory of the past when "all Mond people belong to the Lawrence family".

Although they looked down on those dirty rats that burrowed in the sewers, they could accept making use of the Fatui a little in order to realize their great dream of revitalizing the family.

But the good times did not last long. That group of foolish Faints was too unreliable. Before they could get enough money from them to support their family's restoration of "respectability", most of their members were driven out of Mond.

But how could I accept that I had just become a little more financially secure and suddenly became financially strapped again?
After much difficulty, they contacted the Fatui who had evacuated Mondstadt, and learned from them that they had a "treasure trove" in Mondstadt that had not been found.
Although these idiots have been driven out of Mondstadt, the other party said that as long as the Lawrence family can show their "sincerity", then all the Mora and supplies will be given to the great Lawrence.
". But isn't it too risky for us to attack the representatives of the Council of Magistrates directly? And what if they are trying to deceive us?"

"——What are you afraid of? Senior Schubert said that we Lawrence are of the noblest bloodline in Mond. As long as we don't forget our own nobility, we are destined to regain control of the entire Mond in the future.

If Winter still wants to cooperate with us after we regain control of Mondstadt, then the Fatui won't have the guts to deceive us!"

Deeply convinced of the nobility of their own bloodline, they, as "pillars of the family" acknowledged by their predecessor Schubert himself, are eager to revive the glory of their family.

"——Ah! It's finally here!"

"I originally just wanted to kidnap a few scholars in this remote place, but I caught a big fish.
What the classics say is true, even fate is on the side of our Lawrence family!"

"Boom!!!"

Without hesitation, I pressed the button in my hand with a vision for the future.

The rock wall behind them suddenly opened up, revealing several unactivated Ruins Guards, just as the Fatui who had contacted them had said.

Limited by the location of the arsenal, we could only sit back and wait, but we never thought that the representative of the Council of the Church would come so easily.

"Om-"

Turbid yellow pupils lit up one after another, and these ruins guards with signs of transformation stood up from their original positions.

"——Listen to my orders. Don't use weapons with too much power. Just capture them."

"Humph, don't think that our Lawrence family is stupid. As long as things don't get too awkward, we can just blame the Fatui for this incident later."

!!!

"Wait, what are these things for?! Why can't I give them orders? Is that guy lying to us?!"

They didn't think those skinny God's Eye holders would have any power to resist. Just when they were about to give orders to the ruins guards,
But then he discovered that these bulky iron blocks had already begun charging missiles inside those dim yellow pupils.

？ ！！

He looked at the gradually awakening mechanical monsters with horror, and soon realized that these guys would only attack indiscriminately. Besides, the so-called "key" in their hands was just a simple starter.

"——Ice, Blessing!"

"——Count Rabbit!"

"Boom!!"

The missiles fired by the Ruins Guards have not yet reached the road.
As two figures, one red and one blue, fell from the sky, dazzling flames suddenly exploded at the edge of the woods.

Having seen Amber and another knight coming a long time ago, Lin Feng gently held Nashida's hand beside him, signaling her not to worry too much.

"——It took some time for Yura and I to catch Schubert and ask about the situation. Sorry for being late. Everyone, be careful!"

They came quickly on the wings of the wind, completely ignoring the safety regulations that "no one can be brought along".
Even though her pilot's license was about to be revoked for the fourth time, Amber obviously didn't have time to care about these things now.

At the critical moment, they intercepted the first round of missiles from the ruins guards,
Amber watched as Eula kicked the two Lawrence family members away in order to protect them.
Even though I knew I was saving people, I still felt some phantom pain in my body.

"Huh, they got into so much trouble just by not paying close attention. These idiots didn't even know they were being fooled."

They only destroyed the two ruins guards that were activated first, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, more and more kept emerging from the cave behind as if there was a factory.

I never expected to face this kind of scene before I came here.
Amber blinked, looked at the large iron blocks in front of him, and then looked at the wooden bow in his hand.

The scout knight wearing a pair of rabbit ears paused for a moment and decided to turn back to ask for help:

"——Ying, Mr. Lin Feng, come and help!"

"——We're sorry to interrupt your vacation! Eula and I will make it up to you later."

"Eh? It's dangerous here, everyone be careful!"

Originally, he was planning to come to the rescue in a cool way, but after the plan changed, he decided to ask for help from the Honor Knight and Lin Feng.

But before she could say anything, Amber felt her heart skip a beat when she saw the two "kids" approaching and a familiar black-haired passerby.

"It's okay. Although I'm not good at fighting, I still know a thing or two about guarding."

"As for these two, they are also slightly stronger than the average God's Eye owner."

Still remembering the dish that the little girl in front of him had served during the food competition, Zhongli took the lead in stepping forward to stop his hall master from making trouble.

On the other side, Nashida discovered that the number of enemies was far beyond her expectations, so in order to prevent these guys from affecting the tourists not far away, she subconsciously walked out.

".However, these ruins guards seem to have been transformed. They are agile and dangerous if you are not prepared."

"Don't worry, it's all right now."

"Eh?"

"The Ministry of Relics has already developed a mature system for research on relic mechanisms. If we just want to paralyze them, the two of us can still do it."

"."

I realized something belatedly.
Looking back, I found that many of the ruins guards were bound in place by rocks, and then some green vines accurately pierced through the monsters' cloudy orange-yellow pupils.

In the middle of the silent forest, Amber blinked when she realized that she was no match for the two girls.
Suddenly I felt that the children who were in the same class with Ke Lai when I went to Huachengguo to visit him last time had become scary.

"I'm sorry that the people in my family have caused you trouble. I won't protect them. They will receive the due punishment along with the instigators."

"Also, they found the wrong person this time. I will find a way to pay them for helping to resolve the crisis and to compensate them for the shock they suffered."

"Eula, you."

The blue-haired knight had watched Eula, who was considered "rebellious" by the family, helping the tribe members to deal with the mess for countless times.
Amber thought about how she was rejected by both the Mond people and the Lawrence family, but had been silently contributing to both parties, and realized that this was somewhat unfair to her.

".Humph, of course I won't pay for the compensation myself. They have to be responsible for their own actions."

"Although I'm expected to be hated by a lot of people this time, but even allowing something like this to happen, those guys in the family really need to be taught a lesson."

He glanced at the two idiots who were stunned by the aftermath in the distance.
Feeling exhausted, Eula shook her head, thinking that it was time for those old antiques to face reality.

".Lawrence family, a thousand years have passed, is the hatred of the Mond people towards them still so strong?"

"Interesting, even the temple guarded by the four winds can be completely forgotten, but these are remembered so strongly."

"Hmm? Miss Dashina, what are you talking about? Paimon doesn't quite understand."

After this not-so-thrilling episode on the journey, the Tree King learned from Lin Feng about the current situation of the Lawrence family.
But when she discovered some interesting facts, Paimon, who overheard it, was completely confused.

"Well, it's nothing, it's just some means to prevent the Free Cities from repeating the same mistakes. It doesn't matter to us if we don't know."

It can be seen that the heart of this white-haired ball is completely occupied by delicious food.
The Tree King waved his hands, not intending to let such a thing appear in the other's clear pupils that were not polluted by knowledge.

A moment later, in Qingquan Town, next to the spring.

"Three hundred Moras, three hundred Moras!"

"Hopkins brand holy water, amazing discount price, only 300 Mora per bottle."

"——A few unfamiliar faces. It's obvious that they are visiting Mondstadt for the first time.

How about trying this Qingquan Town specialty? I guarantee that you will feel refreshed and your strength will be doubled after drinking it!"

“Huh?! Is it so magical? Ying, let’s buy some right away!”

Lin Feng: "."

What happened today? After the robbery, it was a scam, right?
Could it be that there is some mysterious aura around the little yellow-haired boy? Why do I feel like even my luck has gotten worse?
From a distance, I saw the well-known scammer in the game, the "Fountain Porter", who had attracted countless newbies to buy out of curiosity.
Lin Feng looked at Paimeng's eyes shining and his face full of excitement. For a moment, he could also understand how tiring it must be for Ying to travel with such a "gold medal guide".
