Genshin Impact: Can’t the executive just give up?
Chapter 19: A Coward
Does Diluk think I'm some kind of enthusiastic citizen?
Rhine nodded and accepted Diluk's invitation.
The next day.
It was late at night when everyone gathered again. The pub was closed and there were no customers. Even the bartender had left.
All the people present were familiar faces to Rhine. In addition to the few people from last night, Jean, the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius, was also present.
"It's actually Lai Yin and Ying?"
Qin was a little surprised. Diluk contacted her and said that he wanted to discuss ways to calm the anger of the Wind Dragon. Unexpectedly, he also invited Ying and Rhine.
And this green one... seems familiar, who is he?
"Long time no see, Qin." Rhine greeted familiarly.
Diluk explained to everyone: "First, I contacted more than one person. Second, the one in front of you is just 'Jin', not the leader of the group.
Even an honorary knight cannot possibly come into contact with a girl like this."
Rhine looked at Diluk.
When Diluk was introducing him just now, Rhine always felt that the corners of his usually cold mouth seemed to rise a little, and there was even a little pride in his tone.
Afterwards, Diluk spent some time explaining to Qiqi, who was "not the acting leader", that Qiqi of the "Sky Harp" could purify the Wind Dragon.
"You may not be able to believe this absurd story involving mythology. But it doesn't matter. You can let the poet play it again..."
Perhaps knowing that his proposal was a little far-fetched, Diluk was afraid that Jean would not believe him, so he hoped that Venti could play yesterday's song again.
But Qin interrupted him gently: "I believe you."
"Ok?"
Diluk didn't seem to expect it to be so smooth.
Qin was born into the Gunhild family, a knight family with a long heritage that has always been known for its strictness.
Simon, the former great adventurer and now "Cardinal of the Dawn", married the eldest daughter of the Gunhild family at that time. However, he was dissatisfied with the overly strict discipline of the family and took the second daughter Barbara away.
But unlike her biological sister Barbara, Jean stayed in the Gunnhild family, was raised by her mother, and underwent strict education.
Logically speaking, such a person would not have any naive ideas, such as believing in fantasy stories that only children would listen to.
But Qin has her own thoughts.
"I have never understood why Tevarin betrayed me, but if he was harmed by poisonous blood during the war to protect Mondstadt many years ago, and then corrupted by the Abyss Mage after waking up, he would have become helpless...
But the "acting leader" cannot say these words.
Under pressure, the goodwill shown by the Knights to the Wind Dragon will be understood as connivance and inaction. "
Jean looked at Diluk. "Besides, a strict and cautious person like you is willing to believe this..."
Diluk was a little helpless: "I told you not to call me senior."
"senior?"
Rhine captured the key words.
"..." x2
Qin and Diluk remained silent.
Rhine certainly knew that when Diluc's father was still alive, Diluc was also a knight of the Knights of Favonius and even became a candidate for the leader.
It was only because of a series of events, including his father's death, that he "saw" the limitations of the Knights of Favonius.
After that, Diluc became disheartened and left the Knights, enforcing justice in his own way...
"There's one more thing we need to resolve."
Paimon's sudden remarks broke the quiet atmosphere and interrupted Rhine's memories.
"Do you know who took the Skyharp? How can we find it?"
Rhine looked at Paimon.
That’s right, Rhine sent people to steal the Sky Harp in advance, and Ying did not run into the Thunder Warlock wearing the Fatui’s representative costume, so naturally no one knew that the Fatui was the mastermind behind the scenes.
"It's the fools."
Diluk spoke first.
There are basically only two organizations that covet the power of the God of Wind that can appear in Mondstadt: The Cult of the Abyss and the Fatui.
But according to the information obtained by Diluk, who often fights against the Abyss Cult, it was most likely not them yesterday.
It could only be another one.
“I think Diluk is right.”
Rhine agreed earnestly: "The Fatui are capable of all kinds of evil and have evil ambitions. They want to get their hands on the power of the gods. Everyone in Teyvat knows this."
?
Several people around looked at Rhine in surprise.
"So the Fatui don't have a good reputation in the Kingdom of Winter?"
Qin asked.
"Uh, yes, that's right."
Rhine didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so he could only nod deeply.
He is not familiar with Zhidong either.
Diluk doesn't care about the reputation of the Fatui.
"There are as many Fatui members as you want in Mondstadt. Although they have recently added a lot of escape methods, I still used other methods to pry some information out of them."
Diluk took out a few black masks of the same style as the Winter Envoy.
"Remember to wear this. We are here to cause trouble for them. Don't let yourself get into unnecessary trouble."
Rhine took the mask.
He really needs this thing.
After all, it would not be a good thing if the Fatui members found out that their lord executive led the Knights to attack the Fatui's stronghold.
"But why should I help them?"
Rhine looked at the people who were discussing the plan, with a black cube flowing in his sleeves.
Based on Diluk's information, the group headed to Qingquan Town.
"I didn't expect that there is a secret base of the Fatui here, but the Knights have no relevant information."
Qin frowned and looked at the hole in front of her from which dust was floating.
The Fatui were able to hide so close to the town of Mondstadt without the Knights knowing it.
"That's why I said... forget it, let's go in."
Diluk was about to say a few words to criticize the Knights, but when he thought of Jean being here, he chose to restrain himself.
It is called a stronghold, but under the arrangement of the Fatui's traditional aesthetic, this stronghold is more like a larger dungeon.
Rhine observed the place carefully. There were signs of fighting at the entrance, and deep scratches on the walls, like marks left by a giant sword. There were also remaining wooden fragments in the corners, which should have been left by broken wooden barrels or boxes.
Not long after they came in, Rhine and others discovered a Fatui guard.
"Hey."
Rhine quickened his pace, quietly walked behind him and patted his shoulder.
"Wow! Don't eat me!
Um, you are human?"
The disturbed guard was startled and drew his sword: "I, I thought you were monsters from the Abyss Cult."
"Tell me, where is the Skyharp?"
Ying lowered her voice and spoke fiercely. Rhine and his men said nothing and looked like cold-blooded killers.
The guard's hand holding the sword was shaking a little: "You, how do you know the holy relic is here? The place where the holy relic is stored is locked. I, I don't have the key, don't look for me."
"Tsk, what a coward."
Rhine laughed in his ear: "How did someone like you join the Fatui?"
After all, he was the executive officer of the Fatui. Seeing that the people in his own organization were so disappointing, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I tell you, Mond has an Executor in charge. Lady and Heretic will find you and hang you up and torture you!
Don’t let me get involved when that happens!”
boom!
Flames gushed out of Rhine's hands and hit the guard, knocking him unconscious.
He couldn't tolerate it anymore. This kind of person has nothing to do with the camp and is a scourge in any organization.
"If Rosalyn heard you say such things, she would have someone hang you up and torture you right now."
Rhine complained in his heart.
"It seems we still need to find the key... Let's hurry up and don't delay."
