In an empty room on the first floor of the Knights, Diluc and Cole were temporarily accommodated here.

Ever since they were assassinated by [Doctor] at Star Reaching Cliff, they have been in a coma. At that time, the war was urgent, and Chenxi Winery was also under siege, so the two could only be temporarily placed in Qingquan Town.

The two people who had been in a coma for more than ten days were very weak, and even though they had been taking alchemical potions these days, there was no sign of improvement.

Until today, the vitality of the two people was rapidly declining. The villagers responsible for taking care of them poured several bottles of alchemy potions into them, but it didn't work. They could only carry the two people in a carriage and risked the danger of war and chaos to transport them to Mondstadt.

"I'm sorry, sister... Captain Qin, my healing spell didn't work..." Barbara lowered her head and said.

"They are not injured, ordinary treatment is useless..." Lisa was also helpless.

Niyu stood in the corner with his arms folded, communicating nervously with the two demons in the palace of consciousness.

Marcusius was not good at the magical knowledge of life, but Cain saw some clues.

"That [Doctor] at that time must have used a very evil spell to extract the demonic residue from both of them together with the source of life, preparing to pour it into a certain carrier. Under normal circumstances, the three people at that time could only survive The next one will, of course, only live as a body controlled by the devil." Cain said.

"What I'm asking now is if there is any cure!" Niyu said impatiently.

Cain snorted dissatisfiedly, but still said: "The life essence has been almost drained, and it is impossible to save it under normal circumstances... But I happen to know a way to replenish their life essence and let them recover. It depends on whether you are willing or not.”

"Tell me."

"Your body has been transformed by the power of the devil and absorbed the dragon's blood. The source of life is extremely powerful. As long as you are willing to fight for your vitality to be seriously injured and weak for at least half a year, it will not be a problem to save them both with some of the source of life."

"How to do?"

"Huh? Do you really want to do this? There are a lot of life essences, and they might hurt your roots!"

"You still want to be locked up in a dark room? Say it now!"

Cain took a deep look at Niyu and said, "You can use my 'blood-sucking' trick in reverse, and you can condense the 'source blood' in the heart. Take two drops and add ordinary alchemy potion to them." That’s it.”

Niyu nodded, stepped forward and patted Lisa gently, "Miss Lisa, please come with me."

----------

Three days later, on the outskirts of Mondstadt.

Five huge firewood stacks were set up in an open space, with the remains of the deceased neatly arranged on them.

Among these dead, there were both those who died in wars and those who died from epidemics. There were hundreds of them, and this was only a small part of those who lost their lives.

Near Mondstadt alone, the rebellion that lasted for only half a month caused more than a thousand deaths to Mondstadt, and the battle around Mondstadt was only the lowest intensity in the entire counter-insurgency process.

The nuns of the West Wind Church followed the funeral customs of Mondstadt, performed collective prayers for the deceased, and sprinkled purified water on the bodies one by one.

According to Mondstadt's tradition, the body should have been buried in a coffin after the purification ceremony, but today this step was changed to cremation.

As you can imagine, the people of Mondstadt were very resistant to this decision.

Fortunately, the Knights of the West Wind and the Church of the West Wind have a high reputation in Mondstadt. After announcing that everything was following the will of Lord Barbatos, the opposition was temporarily suppressed.

Everyone was waiting to see how the young ceremonial officer from neighboring Liyue would preside over the first cremation ceremony in Mondstadt in thousands of years.

Hu Tao was still dressed in dark brown and almost black clothes, and wore a Qiankun Taigua hat with dazzling red plum blossoms. She seemed to be a different person today, her face full of solemnity and solemnity.

I saw her walking slowly with a long staff with a strange shape. The black and red lines on the handle were intertwined, as if wrapped in a thick layer of paste. The head of the staff was surrounded by two clusters of flaming curved blades. Gourd-shaped orb.

As soon as the staff of Humo came out, the heavy feeling of carrying countless histories and countless lives came to my face!

Although his attendants had not arrived yet and there were no suitable tools around him, Hutao was able to escape from the solemn feeling with just one shot, which made all the Mondstadt people watching in awe. Even the more knowledgeable people quietly adjusted their clothes and smiled slightly. Bow your head to show respect.

She solemnly came to the firewood pile, lit three pillars of incense, bowed respectfully three times, inserted it into the Liyue-style incense burner that she had found after searching all over Mondstadt, then made the seal of death and chanted loudly. .

"The decree of the God of Winds transcends your lonely soul, all ghosts and ghosts, and is blessed by the four living beings..."

After reciting the modified prayer, she raised the staff of Huma high. The Eye of God behind her was shining brightly. Countless butterflies shining with golden red light gathered towards the head of the staff, and soon formed a butterfly. A ball of dazzling flames!

In the next second, the flames turned into five huge butterflies and threw themselves into five firewood piles. They instantly ignited the firewood piles and turned them into five huge torches!

Hu Tao's slightly childish voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"The butterfly leads the way forward, and the sails are raised on the other shore! The dusty body is burned away, and the soul returns to the sky!"

The clear wind rises up at some point, carrying the golden butterflies flying in the flames to high places, as if countless liberated souls are rising to the high heaven that accommodates everything!

The nuns of the West Wind Church also began to sing the poem of the wind collectively.

"...Merciful wind, please guide these innocent souls and let them go to the country of freedom accompanied by poetry..."

The pale Niyu sat in the distance and watched the scene quietly, his eyes twinkling.

A warm big hand gently patted his shoulder, "Don't be sad, this is the price that the people of Mondstadt must pay, just because they regard freedom as looseness, dislike dedication and pursue pleasure... If it weren't for you, I would It will be one of those costs.”

Niyu turned to look at Diluc, who was also pale, and squeezed out a smile, saying to himself: "Actually, I am pleased with Hall Master Hu's high level of performance... If this trend continues, at least the camp of the Mondstadt branch will It shouldn’t be a big problem to collect it…”

Of course, you must not say this, otherwise even if you are Diluc's savior, it will be difficult to ensure that you will not be beaten to death by him...

He coughed lightly and changed the topic, "It seems that you are recovering well?"

"Mr. Baizhu who arrived yesterday showed me that he needs to recuperate for a while. It just so happens that there is nothing that requires my intervention in the near future, so I just want to stay at home for a while... Why don't you come to Chenxi Winery too? Stay for a while?" Diluc invited.

"That's fine. But before that, we still have one big thing to finalize as soon as possible."

"what's up?"

"Business."

"Is this... considered a big deal?"

"Big business."
