Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

Kaiya reached out to stop Qin, staring intently at Rikuo, and asked warily, "How can you prove you are Rikuo?"

Seeing Kaeya's form reminded everyone that they had seen a leader of the Abyss Order on the battlefield who looked exactly like Lu Sheng.

The atmosphere in the office fell silent instantly, and all eyes turned to Lu Sheng, awaiting his answer.

"Paimon, dinner's ready."

"Yay! Time to eat! Where's the good food? I can eat it all..."

Paimon burst out of Lu Sheng's body with a chubby face, dancing with excitement for the delicious food he was about to taste. But after a moment, he realized that something was wrong. His face turned as red as a ripe sunset fruit, and he quickly hid behind Lu Sheng.

"Hmm...Paimon can't possibly eat all these people..."

Paimon's appearance largely dispelled everyone's concerns, and Wendy also stood up to endorse Lu Sheng.

"Don't worry, everyone, this is a real traveler~ I can guarantee it."

Qin Chang breathed a sigh of relief, walked up to the two of them, and said sincerely, "Wen... no, Lord Barbatos, the Wind God, Rikuo, thank you for saving the Knights and for saving Mondstadt."

"If you want to thank someone, please thank the Traveler. As the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, it is my duty to protect my people, but I have failed to do so. I should apologize to everyone for being late."

Just as Lu Sheng was about to say something, a voice that only he could hear suddenly rang in his mind.

"Traveler, please do not tell the people of Mondstadt that I have lost the heart of God. In this situation, they need a reliable god as a pillar of support. I will now fulfill my duties as the Anemo Archon and guide my people out of the shadows and through this crisis."

Lu Sheng turned to look at Wendy and found that he was winking at him.

He smiled knowingly and said, "Yes, it was indeed very dangerous this time; we almost didn't make it back. Um... could you raise the commission a bit?"

Lu Sheng thought to himself that he was about to leave Mondstadt, and if he didn't take this opportunity to make as much money as possible, he wouldn't have such a good chance again.

"Of course! This commission is guaranteed to satisfy you! I heard from Kaeya that you were ripped off when you bought weapons in Mondstadt. As compensation and reward, I have decided to give you the legendary weapon treasured by the Knights of Favonius – the Skyblade – as the acting Grand Master."

"Lord Wind God, you shouldn't have any objections, right?"

Jean didn't forget to ask Wendy for her opinion.

Wendy agreed to Jean's idea without hesitation.

"Of course, the day a weapon is forged is the day it is used. 'The greatest hero uses the greatest sword,' as the ancient poems say."

Lu Sheng thought to himself: Seriously? I've already gone all the way to Teyvat and I still managed to get the Sky Sword by mistake?

Mondstadt-Liyue Chapter: Chapter 27: The Taste of a Witch Is Quite Good

Before Lu Sheng arrived, Qin and the others had already come up with a plan to carry out a major purge of Mondstadt from the inside out.

First, we must root out the Fools who have infiltrated every level and position, and prevent them from constantly monitoring the Knights and stealing Mondstadt secrets.

Secondly, we need to launch an extermination operation against all the monsters in Mondstadt. Due to a shortage of manpower, this task needs to be carried out slowly. We will first clear out the area near Mondstadt to ensure the safety of the residents, and then gradually expand outwards until all the monsters are wiped out.

This action, which Gynt calls "Mond Plowing Court," is a metaphor for a powerful and effective campaign.

"Alright, it's getting late. Everyone should go back and rest. Starting tomorrow, we'll implement the policies I've set out for you."

"clear."

The initial anxiety of the group subsided considerably after the meeting. At least, they knew that Commander Qin was a capable leader, and the Wind God Barbatos had also returned, which gave them confidence to recover quickly from the dragon calamity.

After everyone else left, only a few core members remained in the Knights Order.

Qin then asked, "Lu Sheng, everyone saw another side of you on the battlefield today. Can you explain that?"

Lu Sheng shook his head. "I can't explain it, because I don't know who he is either."

Next, Lu Sheng shared some of the information he had obtained in the strange temple with the Knights.

The only information available is that the Twin Abyss are heading to Liyue and Mondstadt, and that there are people involved with the Abyss Order.

Qin's pupils dilated violently.

"The Abyss Cult is recruiting followers in our Mondstadt?! How come I didn't know about this? Who are they?"

Lu Sheng shrugged and replied, "I accidentally killed them all, but I can provide the address of that place. If you go there, you should be able to find a few identifiable corpses."

Qin's expression instantly darkened, and she murmured, "It seems that the cleanup operation needs to add a new element."

Lisa: "Sweetie, so you're saying your next target is Liyue?"

"Yes, I should rest for a few days before setting off."

Lisa said worriedly, "But Liyue is not like our Mondstadt. The Seven Stars there have much stricter control over the country, which will cause a lot of inconvenience... Jean, why don't you write a letter as the leader of the guild? When we get to Liyue, my little cutie can give the letter to the Seven Stars and tell them to be wary of the Abyss Order's invasion, and also to open a back door for my little cutie."

The suggestion was good, and Qin readily agreed. She immediately sat down, wrote a letter, affixed the seal of the Knights Commander, and handed it to Lu Sheng.

"Thank you."

Lu Sheng carefully put away the letter. With this, things would be much easier in Liyue, at least he wouldn't be arrested by the Thousand Rock Army as a suspicious person.

"By the way, is there any food left at this hour? My Hakimon seems to be starving to death."

Qin smiled and said, "Yes, I ordered the Knights to be on duty 24 hours a day, so the kitchen is always in operation."

"Yay! Paimon can finally have a good meal!"

After Lu Sheng had a hearty meal, Pai Meng only ate about half full, and while eating, he kept complaining that the food here wasn't as good as the previous restaurant.

"I'm going to the restroom. Paimon, take your time eating. Wait here for me when you're done, and don't wander off."

"Mmm...okay...mmm...Master..."

Lu Sheng got up and left, arriving near the Goethe Hotel in an instant. He put on a mask and flew into the hotel from the second floor.

However, the lady seemed to have anticipated Mondstadt's impending lockdown, so she had already left Mondstadt, leaving Anastasia with all the diplomatic affairs of the Fools.

Lu Sheng sneaked into Anastasia's room and found her fast asleep. He quietly blew a breath into her ear.

Anastasia opened her eyes groggily, saw a ghostly face, screamed in fright, and rolled off the bed.

"With such audacity, they still call themselves the Fools? Shameful."

Lu Sheng took off his mask and smiled incredibly brightly.

"You! You! What are you doing barging into my room in the middle of the night?! I'm a woman, after all!"

Lu Sheng replied, "It's only right that I look for her: 'The lady isn't here, so who else should I look for if not you? Where is she?'"

Anastasia blushed, grabbed the blanket to cover her semi-transparent lace nightgown, and glared fiercely at Lu Sheng. "The lady left a long time ago, went to Liyue. She asked me to tell you that you have done a great service and have been promoted to the Fatui Debt Settler. In Mondstadt, you have to listen to me in everything."

Lu Sheng, hands on his hips, demanded angrily, "Did you add that last sentence yourself?"

"No...no, that's not it! That's what the lady said. I'm the counselor, and you're the debt settlement officer. You should listen to me!"

"What if I don't listen?"

"You!" Anastasia was about to explode when she suddenly remembered what this madman had done, and immediately lowered her voice guiltily, "Well, there's nothing I can do about it, but I will report your actions to the lady truthfully!"

"Tch, boring, I'm leaving."

Lu Sheng, no longer wanting to tease the counselor, turned and left, closing the door behind him.

"Remember to lock the door next time you go to sleep, although it doesn't matter to me whether you lock it or not."

However, Lu Sheng did not leave the Goethe Hotel. Instead, he slipped into the lady's room. Although the lady had left, the faint scent of her perfume still lingered in the room.

Interestingly, a portrait of herself was hanging above the woman's bed.

"Holy crap, what a narcissist!"

After rummaging through everything, apart from the intimate clothing in the closet that made one blush, there was nothing of value.

Lu Sheng was about to leave, somewhat disappointed, when suddenly an idea struck him. He jumped onto the headboard and moved the portrait aside, revealing a hidden compartment behind it.

Upon opening the hidden compartment, one finds a list inside.

It contained the identity information of all the Fools of Mondstadt, and this list was enough to make Jean sweat profusely.

Mondstadt's commerce, agriculture, and even the Knights of Fathom have been completely infiltrated by the Fathom's spies.

If this list were to be released, Mondstadt's guillotine would go on for three days and three nights straight without stopping.

However, Lu Sheng does not intend to hand it over to the Knights for the time being, because he can take the opportunity to make a fortune.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The next morning, big news broke in Mondstadt.

Mr. Hu Ke, a wine tycoon in Mondstadt and one of the largest suppliers to Dawn Winery, was found dead in his home by his servants.

The house was looted of all valuables, leaving nothing behind; even the silver cups used for drinking were taken away by the murderer.

Even more interestingly, Hu Ke left behind a confession before his death, admitting his identity as a spy for Zhidong. However, judging from his trembling handwriting, he must have been coerced at the time.

In the following days, a series of murders were discovered.

A songstress... a mineral merchant... a tailor shop owner... even a knight-errant officer.

These people had one thing in common: they were rich, and they all confessed to their espionage activities before they died.

-

night.

Lu Sheng crossed out a name on the list and muttered, "This should be the last worthwhile target. The rest are too poor, forget it."

In the past few days, he has been killing people one by one according to the identity information on the list, making a fortune, easily earning millions of Mora.

The rest of the group are all minor characters with little to no profit; let the Knights deal with them slowly.

It's time for me to head to Liyue to get down to business.

Lu Sheng quietly came to the library, intending to give the list to Lisa. Due to the special circumstances, Lisa was still busy at the library even though it was already past closing time.

"Oh! Little cutie? What brings you here all of a sudden?"

Lisa's eyes lit up with joy when she saw Lu Sheng.

"I'm going to Liyue. Before I leave, I have a gift for you."

"Are you leaving already?" Lisa's tone was a little disappointed. "I haven't had a chance to get to know you properly yet~ But, what gift do you want to give me?"

Lu Sheng took out the list and handed it over.

Lisa took the list and glanced at it, her face filled with shock.

"This is! The list of the Fools?!" She was surprised, but quickly realized that the murder case that had been making headlines for the past few days was actually done by this kid.
