"You have no interest at all?" Agong raised his voice slightly. "If I say this, you might be interested in listening to the story about Eula Lawrence."

I have already killed her, so what's the point of mentioning Eula at this time?

Although she thought so, Amber lowered her head and her eyes began to waver.

Sensing Amber's change, Agong emphasized: "Yes, you seem to know what Eula did, but in fact you know nothing."

What she did was to slaughter the Lawrence clan and kill my grandfather? Wasn't she doing this to pursue power and prove her ability?

"Well--!"

Amber opened her mouth and an evil eye flew out of her mouth and fell to the ground. In that spiritual space, she swallowed Eula, leaving only this evil eye that could not be swallowed.

Amber raised her head and looked at Agong with suspicion, full of distrust.

Would he be so kind as to treat himself? Given the reputation of the Fatui, he must have some conspiracy.

"I'm different from those Fatui. I have no choice but to start by introducing myself." Agong held up the mask on his face with his hands, staring at Amber, "Like you, I have been injected with the remains of the demon god Orobas."

Agong slowly removed the mask from his face, but only the part around his eyes was exposed, and his eyes instantly turned into snake pupils.

"You and I are from the same group. We both possess the same power. In other words, we are of the same kind, so I will help you and let you know the truth of the matter."

Amber stared at Agong's snake eyes and the aura emanating from Agong, and was slightly stunned.

Same as me?

Agong was secretly satisfied. As expected, after killing Eula, Amber was like a girl who had just broken up. If someone showed kindness to her at this time... huh? No...

Agong, whose eyes were all fixed on Amber, shifted his gaze towards the evil eye on the ground.

"What? Could it be..."

The evil eye on the ground lit up, and suddenly a large amount of ice elemental power burst out to form ice spikes that flew towards Agong. The ice spikes passed through Agong's body, and Agong's body turned into nothingness and disappeared on the spot. The mask in his hand fell to the ground, fell and rolled to the edge of darkness in the distance.

Amber was puzzled: "What happened? What just happened..."

Why would Eula's evil eye attack the other party?

Da da--

The sound of footsteps was heard again in the darkness in the distance, and Agong's figure reappeared in the darkness. Amber could not see Agong's face due to the darkness.

Agong walked outside in the darkness and said, "That's because Eula sealed most of her power in the evil eye."

Amber narrowed her eyes.

What do you mean?

Agong picked up the mask on the ground and put it back on his face and walked out of the darkness. He was not angry because of the sudden attack just now. Instead, he praised: "Eula, even her death can surprise me so much."

Although there is a hint of sarcasm in this praise.

Amber's eyes fell on Agong's mask and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"During the battle with you, she overdrew her life and implanted most of her power into the evil eye in order to kill me... She did it during the time when you turned her into a giant snake and swallowed her into that space, right? That was the only place she thought I wouldn't notice."

Amber's eyes changed.

Did it during the fight with me? You mean that Eula didn't use her full strength during the fight with me, but instead hid most of her strength? How is that possible!

"I'm afraid she set it up so that as long as I exude my scent, the evil eye will be activated, and the hidden power will burst out instantly to kill me when I'm off guard. Even though I didn't appear by her side in Inazuma, she was still so wary of me. Is it because she felt almost the same power in you and concluded that I would appear by your side?" Agong raised his head. "What a pity, even though she was so wary of me, she still didn't know everything about me, otherwise I would be dead."

Agong chuckled, looked at Amber and continued:

"Is this perhaps Eula's last gasp? But it's useless to me."

Amber raised her voice and asked, "So what are you talking about!"

If what you said is true, why did Eula do this? What is her reason for doing this?

Agong just stared at Amber and gently stated the fact: "She was trying to protect you."

Chapter 104: Agong: Opening with a Mouth

After saying this, Amber widened her eyes and looked as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

"Protect? You said it was to protect me?"

That battle was a bloody one, and you said she would protect me?

Amber snapped, "Are you kidding me!"

Agong continued in a calm tone: "I'll say it again, you seem to understand what Eula did, but in fact you know nothing."

"Tsk." Amber snorted softly, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you!"

"It seems that I can't convince you with normal methods. Well, it's understandable that a suspicious person suddenly tells you such a thing." Agong's voice is raised, "But what I said is the truth."

Impossible! Eula, there is absolutely no way she can do that!

"You have heard about it from the traveler Ying, right? I was also in Mondstadt on the night when Lawrence exterminated his clan, and I was the one who invited Eula to join the Fatui, so I know a lot about Eula."

Amber didn't want to hear any of this at all, and shouted impatiently, "Stop making so much noise! ​​It doesn't matter what happens! Get out of my sight right now!"

"No, please listen to me. This is your duty." It was obvious that Agong was not going to let Amber off so easily. "For the sake of Mondstadt's safety, and to place everything on you, her best friend, she chose this path."

Best friends...

Amber clenched her fists.

Without understanding Amber's feelings, Agong continued, "Everything Eula did was for you. Haven't you ever thought that in the previous battle, Eula didn't really hurt you anyway? Don't you find it strange?"

Amber recalled the previous battle. When Eula was about to hit her with ice, she stopped because of the burden on her body. In her spiritual world, when she thought she was about to be killed, Eula did the same...

Finally, Eula's hand rested on her nose... That action was...

No, it's not that she doesn't want to hurt me, but her body can't bear it and she can't hurt me! It has to be like this!

"Besides me, the only people who know the truth about this matter are probably Mondstadt's top brass, right? For the sake of that boring political game, they will naturally keep silent about this matter. In order to let the truth disappear in the darkness forever, and to protect you, Eula decided to kill me, right? I have helped her so much, but she has never trusted me."

"Nonsense!" Amber could no longer hold back and yelled at Agong, "Protect, you said she protected me! Ridiculous, do you think I would believe your nonsense!"

Amber excitedly stood up from the hospital bed and drove the elemental force to attack Agong, but the physical fatigue caused Amber to fall back onto the bed. Agong stepped forward with concern and wanted to support Amber.

"Be careful. I told you that you are still very tired."

"Do not touch me!"

Amber was now like a hedgehog with its fur standing on end. She stretched out her hand and knocked away Agong's hand that was trying to support her. She was so excited that she fainted on the bed.

Seeing the fainted Amber Agong withdrew his hand, his eyes changed from concern to coldness again, he looked at the black smoke coming out of the burning candle on the side, and then shifted his gaze to the evil eye on the ground.

Eula, what a pity! Even though you were so wary of me, your plan still failed. I successfully accepted the "legacy" that you cultivated.

When Amber woke up again, she found herself with her back against the wall, her body trapped by ropes.

"Are you awake?" Agong leaned against the wall with his hands folded across his chest. "I'm sorry, I tied you up first because you didn't seem to be able to listen to what I was saying."

Amber lowered her head. This time she didn't make a scene. Her eyes seemed to have lost their luster, and she spoke in a low voice as if she was talking to herself:

"That girl Eula... is an enemy. She slaughtered her entire family and killed my grandfather. She betrayed Mondstadt and joined the Fatui... She will do anything to pursue power. She is a very cruel enemy..."

Only thinking this way is correct and true.

Agong nodded: "She did do these things that night."

"So, it's right for me to kill her..."

Agong interrupted Amber and said, "She did this because she received a mission from Mond's top leaders."

Amber raised her head suddenly, her eyes regained their color and her pupils trembled: "You said, mission?"

"Yes, it looks like you have regained some composure now."

Amber's eyes showed a murderous look, and she took the initiative to ask: "What is going on?"

"This is Mondstadt's boring political game, and Eula is just a victim. I will tell you the truth of everything."

The victim...

Amber stared at Agong with sharp eyes: "Why should I believe you? You are also a fool, right? I can't believe you."

"I really don't have any evidence to show for it. I'm helping you only because we are the same kind." Agong spread his hands, "It's up to you to decide whether you want to believe what I say."

Amber didn't completely believe it, but she didn't question it anymore, and seemed to want Agong to continue speaking first.

"You should be very clear about the situation of the Lawrence family in Mondstadt. Since the dark rule of the Lawrence family was overthrown and the new Mondstadt was established, the Lawrence family has become the descendants of sinners, shouldering all the evil of Mondstadt and being called a family born evil. Of course, this is also the result of deliberate control by the top leaders of Mondstadt. The Knights of all generations have regarded attacking the Lawrence family as politically correct to gain the support of the people."

Agong said sarcastically,

"The Lawrence family is like pets kept in captivity by the Knights. From time to time, a few of them are brought out to perform a play to amuse everyone. Of course, in order to prevent the pets from suddenly hurting their owners, Mond's top leaders have also planted spies inside the Lawrence family to monitor the Lawrence family's every move. This spy is Eula. Eula Lawrence lives in such a sad environment. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be a spy until her death."

"Until the arrival of Lady Signora, the eighth executive officer, in order to find the trace of the wind god Barbatos, the Knights contacted the Lawrence family after their inquiries were fruitless. This undoubtedly aroused the nerves of the Mondstadt high-level officials."

Amber nodded. During that time, she was still a scout knight in Mondstadt. This incident caused a lot of uproar, and people even took pictures of Eula interacting with the Fatui. The people of Mondstadt once went to the Knights Templar and hoped that the Knights Templar would deal with Eula.

"Although the Lawrence clan has been suppressed by Mondstadt, it is still one of the three great nobles of Mondstadt. In addition, the Fatui are becoming more and more powerful, while Mondstadt is too weak. The Mondstadt high-ranking officials who have lost the trace of the Wind God are very sensitive about this. They are worried that Lawrence is really colluding with the Fatui, so they ordered Eula to monitor the lady, but the lady saw through it instead. The two fought, and finally Eula killed the lady."

Agong continued naturally:

"It was during this period that I came into contact with Eula. I was impressed by her power and invited her to join the Fatui to fill the position vacated by the Lady, but Eula refused. After returning to Mondstadt, Eula informed the Mondstadt leaders of the Lady's death, which made Mondstadt wary. The death of an executive in Mondstadt would surely lead to the condemnation of the Fatui, a price that Mondstadt cannot afford today. On the other hand, the Lawrence family, who were forced by the Mondstadt people, finally decided not to endure it any longer and decided to launch a rebellion to regain control of Mondstadt. This news was also learned by Eula, who was acting as a spy, and reported to the Mondstadt leaders."

"So, Mondstadt's top brass came up with a best of both worlds solution. They let Eula slaughter the Lawrence clan with her own hands, and then accept my invitation to join the Fatui and become the new Lady. They defined everything as Eula's personal behavior in pursuit of power. This not only solved the long-standing hidden danger of the Lawrence clan, but also avoided being blamed by the Fatui. Eula could also become a spy planted by Mondstadt among the Fatui and continue to serve Mondstadt."

"Under pressure from Mondstadt's top brass, or perhaps because Eula was tired of her spy career that was caught between her family and the country, and wanted to completely put an end to the captive fate of the Lawrence clan, Eula agreed. At night, before the Lawrence clan had time to launch a rebellion, she personally killed all of her family members. This is the truth behind the Lawrence clan's extermination."

Agong stared at Amber and said, "You have noticed something, right? Something like this happened to the Lawrence clan that night. The fire and the noise of fighting were so loud. Why didn't the knights who were nominally stationed nearby but actually monitored the Lawrence clan come to investigate? Instead, they came late after the incident was over?"

Amber's eyes widened.

Yes, I was also in Mond at that time. My grandfather and I saw the fire in Lawrence's house, but the nearby knights did not come. I thought at first that the knights had ill intentions towards Lawrence's family and did not want to come to rescue even when there was a fire. Now I think it was an order from the Mond high-level officials. The high-level officials had long known what happened in Lawrence's family, so they ordered the nearby knights not to go out.

Because of the death of his grandfather, he was deeply shocked, so he didn't think too much about it at the time. The only thing left was hatred for Eula.

"But this is against the Lawrence family. What does this have to do with my grandfather? My grandfather was also killed by Eula that night!"

Amber stared at Agong's eyes, as if she wanted to see whether Agong's words were true or not, but in fact, by asking such a question, Amber had gradually believed what Agong said.

"Yes, this is a conspiracy against the Lawrence clan. Normally, only Lawrence people would die that night. In order to prevent outsiders from being affected, they had already made the best preparations in advance. Even if outsiders happened to come, they would be notified and expelled by the knights who were secretly following them for various reasons... Although not many people near the Lawrence clan were willing to come." A Gong asked calmly, "Then why didn't anyone notify your grandfather, and no one stopped him, and he just brought you and rushed into the scene without knowing anything?"

Amber's eyes widened.

"What do you mean?"

"This is a boring political game. The Grand Master of Mond was not in the city at the time, so the acting Master Jean Gunhild was in charge of the matters that needed to be handled openly. Lisa Mintz assisted in handling matters that Mond could not handle openly, and the matter of destroying the Lawrence clan was naturally handled by Lisa. The knights near the Lawrence clan were all Lisa's men. As long as a person is in charge of something, they will definitely not plan it in secret and implement it perfectly. They will have their own ideas. Lisa is very extreme in doing things."

Amber also agreed with this point. Lisa was indeed very extreme and strong, but she was always suppressed by Qin.

"Your grandfather chose to return to Mondstadt at such a sensitive time. As a former scout knight of Mondstadt, he resigned from his position and left Mondstadt, causing the Scouting Knights to exist in name only. No one can guarantee what he experienced while away... What if he joined another country and became a spy and returned to Mondstadt to gather intelligence? If it were Jean, she might not do anything, but Lisa is different. For her, any unstable factors should be eliminated, especially in her eyes, resigning from the position of scout knight is equivalent to betraying Mondstadt."

Agong said cruelly: "So he used Eula's hand to eliminate this unstable factor. For Mond Eula, she even killed her own people. A teacher who only taught her martial arts when she was young could not stop Eula."

Amber's eyes narrowed. So, was this the reason why her grandfather was killed by Eula?

"Of course, Eula can kill anyone, but there is one person she can't kill no matter what. That person is the one she cherishes the most and the one she regards as her only friend, that is you, Amber."

"Best friend? If she really considered me her best friend, she shouldn't have killed Grandpa even if she received such an order! She has never considered me a friend!"

"What if she doesn't, and you die?"

Amber's expression froze after hearing Agong's words.

"As a member of Lawrence, why would Eula become a spy planted in Lawrence by the Mondstadt high-level officials? Eula lives in a family like that, and you are the only one willing to play with Eula. Eula cherishes the friendship between you two very much. In order to tie down a spy, it is not empty talk, but a bond that is used. If a disaster happens in Mondstadt, you, as a member of Mondstadt and a scout knight, will definitely be the first to bear the brunt. That is why Eula became a spy to monitor the Lawrence family. In her heart, you are much more important than anyone else, including her family."

Amber thinks back to her childhood with Eula.

Agong asked again: "If she refuses to follow the arrangements of the Mondstadt leaders, what will Lisa do as she controls this bond? If you were Eula, what would you do?"

Amber suddenly fell silent.

"Of course, Eula didn't just listen to Lisa's orders. She joined the Fatui and became your protector. Before she left, she threatened Lisa that if she dared to attack you, she would use the Fatui to deal with Mond. She has seen through Mond, so she stimulated you to indulge in power and gave you a reason to pursue strength. Only by gaining more powerful power can you escape your fate and survive in this chaotic world."

After a pause, Agong continued,

"Maybe she didn't expect you to become stronger so quickly. When you challenged Eula to a duel in front of the emperor, if she didn't agree, you would be killed by General Lei Dian. In order to save you, she had to agree. In this battle, Eula planned to die in your hands from the beginning."

Amber tilted her head.

Does this mean... I forced Eula to death with my own hands?
