Chapter Forty-Eight: Midnight Raid

After 12 o'clock in the morning, the hustle and bustle of the city gradually replaced the tranquility of the night, and most people have already fallen asleep.

The lights in front of the 'Angel's Gift' tavern have also been extinguished, and Barton and Charles are moving the drunken drinkers to the tables outside, where their own family will pick them up later. If you're alone, it's not uncommon to sleep here all night.

Su Mu and Ranhuo sat at the bar on the first floor of the tavern, the two of them were the ones that Master Diluc had told to stay, and after Charles refilled the juice and snacks for the two, he closed the door to the tavern from the outside.

"Did you find this tavern in a great location?"

Seeing that there was no one around, this is the only way to be careful about the fire, and sometimes some details can deduce a lot of things.

"Although the tavern is located in the corner of Mondstadt, it connects the main roads in all directions of Mondstadt, with the city gate to the east and a ferry port for goods to be delivered. To the north is the road to the square, the Knights of Favonius, and the church; To the south is the main road leading directly to the city gate, which seems to be remote but the flow of people is really not small. ”

Lighting the fire and gesturing on the bar before confirming in surprise.

"Not bad! What you said is reasonable, this location choice here actually has another meaning, but most of them were attracted by the first floor and the tavern business, but I didn't expect this floor. ”

Su Mu sold Guan Zi and pointed upstairs: "This house has three floors, the tavern only occupies the first two floors, and the third floor has a window with a wide view facing the city wall and the city gate. ”

"Surveillance?"

At Su Mu's prompting, Burning Fire quickly thought of the key.

"Not only that, but the attic is the same height as the city walls, making it easy to do something else, which is also an alternative convenience for the wealthiest people in Mondstadt. So when you meet other people in the future, don't blindly believe everything, there will be a side under all the surfaces that you have never thought of and never understood. ”

Burning Huo nodded as if she didn't understand, she had just come into contact with this world, and she had learned too much recently, and she needed to digest it slowly.

"Kara~"

There was movement in the door of the second floor, and Ran Huo hurriedly stood up, and the fireball in his hand appeared in a fighting posture.

"Don't panic, it's not an enemy."

Pressing the fire back to his seat, Su Mu calmly watched as two people in night clothes walked down from above.

"Hey, Su Mu, why are you here?"

Qin took off the black hood on his head, and was surprised by the Sumu and the fire on the second floor.

"I called him here, I didn't expect him to be in charge of the Knights of Fatunius to the Fatui, it seems that the cooperation between the two sides will be indispensable in the future."

Diluc's fiery red hair was revealed, and his calm voice was still untouched.

"Yo, you're all here early! Hey, how did you end up here! ”

Wendy pushed open the tavern door and walked in, and saw Su Mu's face froze here, as if something unexpected had happened.

"I've called some helpers today, and these people are just some of them."

Diluc clears the road.

"Don't worry, I have no conflict with the bard, on the contrary, most of the dandelion wine I bought from you went into his stomach."

Seeing that Diluc was a little hesitant, Su Mu took the initiative to say.

"If that's the case, then it's for the best."

Diluc looked at Wendy, who nodded before speaking.

"Huh~ You're all here. Yikes! Su Mu and Burning Fire are also there, and the gold coins can't be kept now. ”

Yingla opened the door, and Paimon was the first to squeeze in and greet everyone with a smile, she was very happy to have earned so much Mora today, but after seeing that Su Mu and Ranhuo were also here, her happy little expression suddenly fell.

"Hello, Su Mu, Ignite the Fire."

Ying greeted Su Mu and Ranhuo with a black line, her eyes full of apologies for Paimon's offense.

"You're a Knight of Honor?"

Jean looked at the traveler in surprise, but she didn't expect the other party to be here too.

After that, there is the plot dialogue, and Su Mu is also on the side to explain the cause and effect of the fire, the rescue of Stormterror, and the theft of the Sky Lyre by the Fatui.

After a while, everyone reached a consensus and came to the small pond behind Qingquan Town, where a hidden Fatui station was located, and the Sky Lyre was hidden inside.

There are three floors above and below the colony, with the entrance level being a trap bridge built on top of lava, with a flipped tile in the middle and a cross-shaped flamethrower on one side.

With Wendy's help, everyone has a thrilling way through this level.

Perhaps it was the sense of security that the agency brought to everyone, and the few people stationed here were pitiful, and after asking a few outer guards, everyone got the key to the third floor, where there was the local chieftain debt handler Zamenhoff.

"Mouse, how did you get in!"

On the third floor of the empty stronghold, a voice wafted through the air.

"The Fatui debt handler has a stealth assassin method, everyone pay attention to the black smoke around you."

Diluc put on a fighting stance, back-to-back with Jean, and that skillful fighting style looked like an old comrade-in-arms who had fought side by side for many years.

Paimon huddles behind Ying's hair, an invisible enemy that is a little terrifying to her.

Burning Fire took out a one-handed sword and stood shoulder to shoulder with Su Mu, without using elemental power. This is something Su Mu has instructed, after all, Jean and Diluc are here, and the wind god is also here, she just needs to protect herself.

"Woo Woo Woo ~ "

Three flaming knives flew towards the crowd.

Qin pressed the one-handed sword in his hand down, and the invisible wind power converged on the sword, quickly forming a miniature storm, and simply knocked the flying knife to the ground;

The Traveler held the bladeless sword in front of him, and also blocked the attack of the flaming knife;

Su Mu's spear stabbed forward with its backhand, and the last throwing knife pierced directly through the barrel of the gun.

Diluc, who had been observing from the sidelines for a long time, suddenly moved, rushed forward and swept forward with a flaming sword, and a figure flew out of thin air.

Diluc didn't intend to let this guy go, huge flames rose from the sword, a fiery phoenix rushed into the sky, and Zamenhof, who had not yet fallen, was once again knocked into the air.

"Drink~!"

The guitar appeared under Zamenhof's body, and the charged wind pressure sword hit again, knocking Zamenhoff away again, and Diluc slashed down from the sky with a sword, knocking Zamenhoff to the ground.

"The choice is given to you, is this person killed or released?"

Su Mu didn't know when he came to the burning fire who was watching the play on the side, and asked in a low voice.

"What do you mean?"

Burning Fire was silent for a moment, and asked Su Mu rhetorically.

"I can do anything, anyway, I'm the enemy of the Fatui, I'd rather kill by mistake than let go."

"Then kill it, I'll come!"

Su Mu nodded and made a gesture to the fire.

"Bang dang!"

The iron door that sealed the Lyre of the Blank opened, and in the moment when everyone was attracted to attention, Zamenhoff, who had been defeated by Diluc, once again stealthily attempted to flee the place.

"呲~".

Su Mu threw the spear, which seemed to pass through something and stopped in the air, and then a figure slowly emerged.

With a soft shout, the one-handed sword slashed through Zamenhoff's neck, cutting off the last glimmer of hope for survival.
