"Stop! Who are you?" the guard shouted.
"Parsifal! Sorolla!" Lin Ye shouted.
The guard stared at Lin Ye and Sorolla under the rain. After recognizing their faces, he waved to the people behind him to open the city gate.
"Let's go!" said the guard.
"Wait a moment, lend me two horses." Lin Ye pulled Sorolla into the passage at the city gate to shelter from the rain, and said to the guard with a smile.
guard:……
Master Erberhart did not mention this.
Finally, the guard brought two good horses. He didn't know Parsifal and Sorolla, but thinking that it was Eberhardt himself who allowed the two to leave the city, he guessed that they must have a special relationship with Master Eberhardt because of their status.
In that case, just give it to them and put the blame on these two people when the time comes.
"Can you ride a horse?"
"meeting."
"it is good."
So, Lin Ye and Sorolla each rode a horse, whipped the horse, rushed into the rain again, and left in a leisurely manner.
The guard looked at the two men's backs as they walked away. He knew very well that the loaned horse would never come back.
…………
Lin Ye and Sorolla rode on horseback all night, heading towards Qingquan Town.
The heavy rain became much lighter in the second half of the night.
When Lin Ye and Sorolla passed through a forest, they looked up and saw dawn breaking and a rainbow appearing.
Lin Ye pointed forward and turned to Sorola.
"We have come so far, the people following us should have left. We are in front of Qingquan Town. If you don't want to leave Mondstadt, you can hide there for a while. If you want to leave Mondstadt, you can ask the people in the town for directions to Liyue. The direction is correct."
Sorolla said nervously after hearing this.
"Aren't you going with me?"
"There are still some things I haven't completed in Mondstadt. The reason I said I was leaving Mondstadt was, firstly, to save you, and secondly, to trick him."
"Is there anything else? Let me help you." Miss Witch pursed her lower lips and spoke.
"After we leave, Eberhard will definitely increase the number of guards at the city gate to catch us in order to prevent us from going back on our word. They remember what you look like."
Sorolla heard this and said unwillingly.
"how about you?"
"I?"
Lin Ye smiled.
Then, a soft light enveloped him, and when Miss Witch took a closer look, Lin Ye had returned to his original appearance.
He is graceful and elegant, showing the beauty of the Liyue boy.
Sorolla was stunned for a moment.
She tilted her head.
"This is?"
"Don't you want to see my true self? Parsifal, Eberhard's brother, is just my disguise. As for where the real Parsifal is, I'm sorry, I can't explain it to you."
"I don't care." Miss Witch said emotionlessly.
After all, the witch lady from the [Memory Vein World] fell in love with Lin Ye, and she was still indifferent to strangers.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ye expressed sympathy for Parsifal.
"Except for Eberhardt, no one else has seen my original appearance. All you have to do is avoid him." Lin Ye said with a smile, "The Badminton Festival is coming soon. It's not surprising that foreign friends come to visit."
After listening to this, Solara realized that Lin Ye had a way to sneak into Mondstadt, and she also realized that she could not go back with Lin Ye. She was silent for a long time, staring at Lin Ye with her deep blue eyes, staring at this strange but extremely handsome face, and asked.
"Can you tell me what you haven't finished?"
Lin Ye thought about it and answered in a clear voice.
"Overthrow the rule of the nobles and restore Mondstadt's freedom!"
"…Eberhardt will do it."
"This is different."
"What's the difference?"
"Although I don't know Eberhardt's specific ideas, through dealing with him, I know that he is ultimately motivated by his own desires. If he overthrows the tower, the only outcome will be the erection of a new tower."
"Eberhardt will always be a noble, but what I want to do is to make the nobility no longer exist!" Lin Ye said loudly.
Then, he said something that stunned Miss Witch for a moment.
"The prince and general Xiangning is kind!"
Chapter 252 After All, I Am Me
Eberhardt did not sleep all night. He sat upright at his desk, looking up with his eyes closed, thinking, and his fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest.
He continued this action for a long time, even after Lin Ye and Sorolla left, until noon the next day, when there was a knock on the door.
"Enter."
Priscilla walked in.
She looked at Eberhart's back with respect, then lowered her head and reported the information she had just received.
"Parsifal and Sorolla left Imon Roca and headed straight for the city gate. They left the city at midnight and rode towards Qingquan Town. Our people followed them and returned near the place where the wind rose."
"Qingquan Town, there is an official road leading to Liyue. They may go to Liyue, or they may settle in Qingquan Town. It doesn't matter. As long as my brother is not in Mondstadt, that's enough."
Eberhardt opened his eyes, and after hearing the information conveyed by Priscilla, a stone in his heart finally fell.
The presence of an older brother “solved” the problem.
A nail was pulled out.
There are still two nails left in the competition for the position of head of the family.
There was a flash of murderous intent in Eberhart's eyes, and then he stood up and turned his head to glance at Priscilla, a trustworthy maid who did not betray him until the end.
In the second week, Erberhardt should be able to trust Priscilla.
However, the witch's ending was not that she was shot in the back by him, but that she was unexpectedly and forcefully taken away by her brother.
Even if it were to happen again, it would not be possible to replicate the movement perfectly. It was the tiny, subtle changes that caused the butterfly to create a hurricane.
Something went wrong.
Eberhardt did not intend to delve into the details; he had been following the script in his memory, but the slightest deviation in the strict machinery could lead to a different outcome, and caring too much about it would only make him tired.
Fortunately, the new situation made Eberhardt feel challenging.
"In order to prevent any accidents, the plan has been brought forward." Eberhart said.
Priscilla was stunned for a moment. She knew very well what the plan Eberhardt was talking about was. The heavy emotion lingered in her heart for a moment, and then Priscilla returned to normal and hummed.
"In my plan, no one can survive." Eberhart turned around, stared at his trusted maid, and said slowly, "Priscilla, do you understand?"
"My subordinate understands."
"Will you hate me then?"
"I don't understand what you are saying, Master."
"I remember you have an elder brother named Ruther, who works under your uncle."
"My parents divorced when I was young. I followed my mother and he followed my father. We successively came to serve the Imon Loka family. Our meeting was just an accident." Priscilla looked indifferent, even though her brother Ruther felt guilty and always wanted to make it up to her.
"I am always grateful to you for saving me from a drunkard and for forgiving me of the many sins I committed," Priscilla whispered.
After hearing this, Eberhart thought for a moment, took a few steps forward, came in front of Priscilla, stretched out his hand, lifted the young maid's chin, and looked at her appearance carefully.
Priscilla was surprised. She stared at the young master who was particularly close to her with her emerald eyes. The young master's scrutinizing look made Priscilla feel strange. She could no longer maintain her cold and aloof image towards anyone. She subconsciously glanced to the side and said embarrassedly.
"Master..."
When the aloof and cool lady becomes shy, she has a unique charm.
Priscilla's performance was reflected in Eberhardt's eyes, and for a moment, even he, who thought he was cold-blooded, was fascinated.
The original Eberhardt would not do such a pro-person behavior.
He found a reason, just like winning over a gladiator by picking flowers for him personally. This time, it was to give the maid who knew she loved him a little ambiguous association to prevent her from betraying him at the critical moment. After all, Eberhart was going to kill Priscilla's only living relative.
Since it is a calculation.
It's time to let go.
But Eberhardt stared at Priscilla for a little too long, and he didn't even notice it until there was a knock on the door, waking up the two people in the room.
Eberhardt hurriedly let go, and Priscilla lowered her head, seemingly adjusting her skirt, which was not wrinkled at all.
"Enter."
A maid with freckles came in, first looked at the head maid who was lowering her head, then looked at Eberhart, and said cautiously.
"Second Young Master, lunch is ready, the master wants you to come over."
"Ah."
This was originally Priscilla's job, but she was entangled by Eberhardt and did not receive the report from her maid.
Eberhart waved his hand to signal the freckled maid to leave first. He calmed his turbulent heart and walked out of the room first.
Priscilla waited until Eberhardt left, then touched her cheek, which was burning hot. She couldn't help but pursed her lips, her eyes flashing with complex light. Finally, she sighed, her expression returned to calm, she closed the door, and followed Eberhardt.
Walking quickly in the corridor, Eberhardt turned his head and glanced at the courtyard after the rain had stopped and the sky cleared. It was fresh and natural, everything was clean, and there was even a rainbow that was about to fade away.
Eberhardt had no intention of enjoying the scenery; his mind was a little confused.
The more ambitious a person is and the more indifferent he is to the people around him, the more he will learn to cherish after he loses them.
Thousands of years later in Old Mond, among so many people, only he and Protate survived, and the maid he trusted also left him.
When Erberhart lived with the old man Protate, he would occasionally think of Priscilla. After a thousand years, Erberhart remembered some things that impressed him, but he had almost forgotten the characters, including his brother and father. However, he could not forget Priscilla's appearance for a long time, and he was even afraid of wearing out this memory.
The scene of his brother forcefully taking Sorolla away last night had a certain impact on Eberhardt, and he was actually a little envious.
Priscilla was not an illegitimate child, but her experience was similar to that of young Earberhardt. She grew up in a single-parent family and endured ridicule and bullying, all of which Earberhardt could resonate with.
However, if the Time Devil gave Eberhard another chance to choose between plotting against Mondstadt and taking Priscilla away, Eberhard would still choose the former.
It was as if he knew that the current Priscilla was a false memory, but he did not take the time to accompany her and was still planning his great cause.
There were very few people attending Imon Loka's lunch. The head of the family, Landrich, sat at the head, with his second son, Eberhard, and his younger brother, Ingobert, on either side. After him were relatives who were not directly related by blood, and the maids stood aside.
Some of these relatives looked uneasy when they saw Eberhardt, but fortunately their presence was low and no one paid attention.
They were the people that Eberhardt had coerced and bribed privately. They thought that Eberhardt wanted to fight for the position of head of the family, but they never expected that Eberhardt would cause such a big trouble later.
Erberhardt apologized to Landrich for being late, but the latter waved his hand indifferently.
Recently, the more Landrich sees Eberhardt, the more satisfied he is with him, especially Buck, the eldest son of the Lawrence family.
During lunch, Eberhardt brought up the topic of adventure in advance, using the ruins of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain to seduce the adventure-loving Ingobert.
Ingobert had no interest in power, wealth and women, but he loved adventure and studying ancient ruins. He had explored all the famous ruins in Mondstadt. He was very interested in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain mentioned by his nephew and had planned to take a look at it.
Landrich doesn't like adventure, or more accurately, he doesn't like going out. Isn't it good to enjoy himself at home? Why go out and suffer?
But the Badminton Festival is coming soon. If they can find some ancient relics in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain at that time, it will be a very proud thing, showing that the people of the God of Wind are good at taking risks and are not afraid of challenges.
The more Ingobert and Eberhardt talked, the more they got along. It was the first time he realized that his cold nephew was actually a like-minded person. It was not too late for them to meet, but it was a pity that they met too late.
So, with Landrich's tacit permission, Erberhardt and Ingobert formed a team and headed to the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain soon after.
According to the schedule, we will be able to get back before the badminton festival.
After lunch, Erberhardt was invited to chat with Ingobert until late at night. In his room, Erberhardt gave Priscilla instructions.
"During the days when I was away from Mondstadt, you paid special attention to whether my brother had returned to Mondstadt. Also, you should pay attention to the family's henchmen. After Ingobert's death, they will definitely suspect me. What I have to do is to prevent the news from getting back to them. And you, prevent the henchmen from getting the news."
