"I don't know! I really don't know. That's all the order I received! This is true. Even if you kill me, I still won't know!"

"Where is the Sky Harp now? Tell me!"

"Oh my god! I swear to the Ice God! We haven't had time to steal it yet! I really don't know where the Sky Harp is now!"

"Still being stubborn! Lu Sheng! Show him what you just did!"

As soon as Kaiya finished speaking, a row of flying knives suddenly shot out from the darkness and attacked the two of them!

The two people who reacted quickly dodged, but the flying knife accurately pierced the throat of the Fatui, taking his life in an instant.

"Traitor, I have reclaimed your life on behalf of the Queen."

An emotionless and cold voice sounded in the darkness, and then a black shadow flashed past the two of them and escaped through the window.

"It's the debt collector! Stop right there!"

Kaiya chased after him without hesitation.

Lu Sheng was just about to follow when suddenly, icy vapor filled the air all around him. A chill swept through his body, and his limbs became sluggish at the same time. It was as if the space was frozen.

"How dare you kidnap a diplomat from the Fatui? How audacious!"

The cold voice penetrated the darkness and reached Lu Sheng's ears.

In an instant, deadly ice spikes swept in like raindrops.

Lu Sheng drew his sword and blew out a wall of wind. Just as he blocked the attack from in front of him, something strange happened under his feet. Ice spikes sprang up from the ground one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Lu Sheng did a backwards somersault to avoid the first wave of ice spikes, activated the Stoneskin Technique in the air, and after landing to take the second wave of ice spikes, he raised his hand and blasted a palm thunder in the direction where the sound came from.

The figure in the dark dodged the lightning in a flash and quickly approached Lu Sheng at lightning speed.

A delicate hand wrapped in ice went straight for his heart.

Step forward and chop!

At the critical moment, Lu Sheng used the Step Forward Slash technique to slide behind the man, drew his sword without hesitation, and pointed it directly at the man's heart.

clang!

The sound of violent collision echoed in the warehouse. When the cold air in front of him dissipated, two figures confronting each other appeared in the center of the warehouse.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The woman standing in front of Lu Sheng clapped and praised: "As expected of a brave warrior who can defeat the Wind Demon Dragon, you can actually survive three moves under my hands, not bad."

The woman with a cold temperament has delicate makeup, blonde hair, skin as white as snow, and a proud figure that gives her enough confidence and capital to become the focus of the whole audience.

The fact that he was able to accurately lock onto the opponent's Da Lei at the first sight was the highest praise Lu Sheng gave with his actual actions.

There is no doubt that although the other party does not know me, I know her.

The Eighth of the Eleven Executive Officers of the Fatui——"Ms.

Thinking back to when I first got into this, it was no surprise that I made mistakes with ladies.

Image: "Those who can hold back from making mistakes are gods", Location: "Images/1723605680-100413191-111998840.jpg"

"I can still go on, wanna come?"

After the fight just now, Lu Sheng had a certain understanding of the lady's strength.

What is certain is that the moves just now were all killing moves, with no mercy shown, and similarly, I did not hold back at all when I attacked.

In a life-and-death struggle, hesitation will lead to defeat.

But that was not the lady's full strength. The Witch of Fire was her real trump card. His current strength was not enough to defeat the lady, but if a fight really started, he would have no problem escaping unscathed.

The lady's lips curled up slightly, and she said calmly, "It's not my turn to kill you. Anastasia has already told me everything. I heard that you wanted to talk to me in person, so I came here."

"My people can't hold that guy back for too long. If you have anything to say, just say it quickly and don't waste my precious time."

Mondliyue: Chapter 14: My rules are the rules

"That girl called Anmu Xidaliyuan, didn't she tell you my request?"

Lu Sheng asked, raising an eyebrow.

People will smile when they are extremely speechless, and the lady's smile at this moment is one of them.

He bullied the little girl to such an extent that he couldn't even pronounce her name correctly, and he still had the nerve to make his unscrupulous demands?

"You call that a petition? Do you think we, the Fatui, are the Seven-Day God statues that you can use to make wishes for?"

Lu Sheng spread his hands.

"Who would want to join the Fatui if there are no benefits? Besides, my requirements are not high, right?"

The lady was stunned for a moment.

Not high? What on earth is this kid kidding? Does he know what rank the Fatui executive is? The eleven executives in office today are all demons that crawled out of a sea of blood and corpses. In the Kingdom of Winter, where strength speaks, the ultimate goal of every Fatui is to become an executive one day.

But up to now in winter there are only eleven of them.

This yellow-haired boy who looks like a child wants to be the twelfth seat right away. Either he is daydreaming or he has eaten too many mushrooms from Xumi.

"You little brat, why do you want to join the Fatui? You are so close to the Knights of Favonius, and Jean trusts you, doesn't she? How do I know if you are a spy sent by the Knights?"

Lu Sheng thought to himself that this was nonsense, his system was set in stone for upgrading, and if he wanted to become stronger in the future, he would have to attract trouble everywhere.

With the support of the fools, you can throw the shit on them after you have made a mistake. Aren’t you still the pure, innocent and kind traveler?

He thought so in his heart, but said: "I am a person who puts profit above all else. The doctrines of the Knights of Favonius, such as selfless dedication and courage, are overwhelming. They are completely chains that bind me from climbing up. What I mean is, there is nothing wrong with joining the Knights of Favonius, but the Favonius will give me a wider world."

Prison girl, I really want to improve!

The lady raised her head and looked at the yellow-haired man in front of her with admiration.

"Very good, your sincere confession is exactly the rule we fools follow, the strong are supreme, the weak retreat, I recognize you, but..."

The lady changed the subject and continued, "It's impossible for you to become an executive officer right after you come in. Every executive officer of the Fatui has reached this position step by step with his own strength. If you want to be an executive officer, you have to speak with your ability."

“How big of an ability is considered big?”

"As long as you have the strength, no matter how big you are, it's not too big."

Okay, okay, you want to be a riddle teller here with me, right?

Lu Sheng stretched out his hand and said to the lady, "Okay, I can stop being an executive officer for now. From now on, I will be considered an ordinary member of the Fatui. Give me the money!"

"what money?"

"My 700,000 Mora, we agreed on that before. You only rejected my second request, but not the first one."

The lady frowned, "Wasn't it half a million before?! Besides, you want money for doing nothing?"

Lu Sheng righteously retorted: "Before was before, now is now, and how can I work without money?"

"Work first and get paid later, that's the rule."

"Pay first, then work. My rule is the rule."

“Work first!”

"Give me the money first!"

"......" The lady gritted her teeth and said angrily, "You injured and killed several of my men, molested Anastasia and stole her evil eye, and you have the nerve to ask me for money first? In that case, don't join me, get out of my sight immediately! If I see you again, I will kill you immediately!"

"Okay! Then I will go and join the Knights of Favonius now, give them the Sky Harp, and help them kill the Wind Dragon. All your plans in Mondstadt will fail."

As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature around him suddenly dropped a few degrees, and the murderous intent grew stronger.

"What? You want to turn against me? Think carefully. Although I may not be able to beat you, you can't do anything to me for the time being. This is Mondstadt. If we make a big fuss, who will suffer?"

After Lu Sheng finished speaking, he felt the cold air around him begin to dissipate.

"Hahaha...hahahaha! Great, great! I never thought that my lady would be ripped off one day. You really keep surprising me."

Her laughter stopped abruptly, and after a short pause, she said, "It was you who stole the zither, but you blamed it on us Faints and instigated the Knights to arrest, torture and interrogate people privately, causing unrest in Mondstadt. Although you are young, you are more cunning than anyone else."

Lu Sheng urged impatiently, "What's the point of saying these irrelevant words? Are you going to agree or not? If you keep dragging it out, I'll have to raise the price."

After a brief silence, the lady finally compromised.

"Since the Sky Harp is in your hands, I'll admit defeat this time. Someone will meet you on the top of the windmill next to the Goethe Hotel at twelve o'clock tonight. You'll hand over the money and the Harp. Don't try to play any tricks. Since you've joined the Fatui, you should know how we treat traitors."

After saying that, a cloud of icy mist floated by, and the lady disappeared into the warehouse, leaving behind a few words that reached Lu Sheng's ears.

"Go back and monitor the Knights' every move for me. When I need you, someone will naturally contact you."

After the deal was done, Lu Sheng left the warehouse and ran into Kaia who had returned.

"Did they catch up with him?"

"No, the debt collector is an expert in assassination and stealth. I can't do anything to him alone. How is the Fatui in the warehouse?"

Lu Sheng shook his head, "He's dead, how are you going to explain this to Qin?"

Kaiya sighed and said, "Whatever happens, Mondstadt can no longer be in chaos. I will bear all the blame. At worst, I will quit my job as cavalry captain and go back to my winery to be a bartender."

The two handed over the aftermath of the warehouse to the Knights, returned to the headquarters together, and reported everything that had happened to Jean.

"The Fatui will definitely make a big fuss about this. This is a major diplomatic incident."

Qin's already busy expression became even more serious, but she did not blame Kaia.

After thinking for a while, Lisa gave Qin a suggestion.

"Since we have decided to defeat the Wind Dragon, why not stop all diplomatic activities on the pretext of wartime? If the Fatui insist on making a big deal out of it, we can make a fuss about them stealing the Sky Harp. Anyway, neither side has any evidence, so no matter how much we argue, it will only be a verbal dispute. After we have dealt with the Wind Dragon, we will come back and deal with them properly."

After careful consideration, Qin agreed with Lisa's suggestion.

"Well, I'll leave the paperwork to you. Now you can put everything aside. The most important thing is to deal with the dangerous factor of the Wind Dragon. The people of Mondstadt don't have the courage to experience a second dragon disaster."

"Kaia, lead the Knights to the outskirts of the Wind Dragon Ruins as soon as possible and be ready for battle at any time."

After receiving the order, Kaeya immediately set out to leave. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned back to ask Qin: "Should we tell Diluk about this? He should come to help."

"Senior Diluk..." Jean murmured softly, and said to Kaeya, "You decide for yourself. After all, he is your family."

Kaia didn't answer and turned away from the Knights.

As soon as he left, a knight ran in to report to Qin: "Captain Qin, there is a bard outside who wants to see you. I told him that you are very busy, but he insisted on seeing you and refused to leave."

"travelling poet?"

Qin and Lisa looked at each other, each of them had doubts in their eyes.

Among those present, only Lu Sheng knew the origin of the bard outside.

Hey~ Is Mond's legendary King of Drunkenness finally unable to hold back and ready to show up?

He must have heard that Qin was going to defeat the Wind Dragon, so he came here to find out what was going on.

Mondstadt: Chapter 15: Close Combat

"I'm so busy right now, how can I have time to see a bard? Tell him to leave immediately."

Qin waved her hand and prepared to have her men send the bard away.

"I'll go."

Lu Sheng took the initiative to take on this job, walked out silently, and saw the most eye-catching green in Mondstadt at a glance.

The young man in a green robe and white socks, eh hey weird, he is Mondstadt’s legendary King of Drunkenness, Venti.

"You're the bard, aren't you?"

Wendy looked at Lu Sheng with her eyes shining with emerald luster.

"You're the warrior who drove away the Wind Dragon and protected Mondstadt. Everyone has been talking about you lately. It's great to see you in person."

"I don't deserve it, I was just defending myself at that time. By the way, is there anything urgent that brings you to the Knights Templar?" Lu Sheng asked.

"It's like this. I heard that Captain Qin is going to lead the Knights to defeat the Wind Demon Dragon. Is this true?"

"Really? The advance troops have already set out for the Wind Demon Dragon's lair. Do you want to be a poet accompanying the troops to boost morale?"

Of course Lu Sheng knew what Wendy was thinking. Tevarin was his dependent, and the last thing he wanted to see was his people and dependents becoming enemies.

"No, I came to see Captain Qin to ask her not to attack the Wind Demon Dragon first."

"Why?"

"Foreign traveler, have you heard the story of the Four Wind Guardians of Mondstadt..."
