Chapter 6: The Mourning of the Dead

As if feeling that the words he was trying to use to comfort him were counterproductive, Cripps was about to make amends when Diluc said, "I'm sure that guy is definitely not dead." ”

Diluc believed so, but as several days passed in this matter, he dispatched everyone in his team to search, but he couldn't find Xia Wei, and his heart couldn't help but be full of gloom.

Thinking of Xia Wei's last words, his heart was full of guilt.

"I left him selfish and ran away, willing to die for someone I just knew, which is something that only a fool would do... I'd rather you be as bad as those in Solstice..."

Diluc covered his forehead in a headache and looked out the window.

A Knight of Favonius was about to enter Diluc's office when he was stopped by another Knight of Favonius.

"The captain hasn't laughed since that day, and he looks in a bad mood, so be careful what you say." The Favonius Knight reminded.

"I see..."

The Knight of Favonius knew that what he was about to say might make Diluc very angry, but he still had to say it because it was the Inspector General's order.

Worried, he knocked on Diluc's door.

"Enter." Diluc's cold words reached his ears through the door, making him shudder.

The Knight of Favonius walked into Diluc's office uncomfortably.

"Captain Diluc, I'm here to deliver the Inspector General's orders." The Knight of Favonius said in a trembling voice.

"Say." Diluc said with a cold face.

"For the sake of the Order's reputation, your friend's death must be publicized as an unfortunate accident and must not have anything to do with the Order." The knight whispered.

After listening to this, Diluc sneered, "It's really yours!" Knights! Isn't it a rereliction of duty on your part not to be constantly on the lookout for the location of the demon dragon Usa? Isn't it your incompetence that you didn't destroy the demon dragon Usa as soon as possible? Isn't it your inaction that you didn't give early warning of dangerous areas? ”

The Knight of Favonius saw that the usually mild-mannered Diluc actually showed this angry expression, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.

"Captain Diluc..."

"From now on, I, Diluc, resign as the captain of the cavalry of the Knights of Favonius, and I will never be called captain again, and I will never have anything to do with the Knights of Favonius again."

Diluc threw his knighthood on the table with a cold face and walked out of the captain's office.

It was still raining outside, and Diluc's mood was as bad as the weather.

......

Xia Wei woke up to find Agaxia standing by his bedside.

"Learn... Mr. Xia Wei, it's okay if you're okay, we're all very worried about you after sleeping for so long! Agaxia said with concern.

Xia Wei got up from the bed and looked at the sky outside the window, it was noon

"How long did I sleep?" Xia Wei looked at Agaxia and asked.

"Yesterday we came to Mondstadt, and now it's the next day." Agaxia said with a smile.

"That's it...", Xia Wei remembered that he was about to pursue the demon dragon Usa when he suddenly returned to the time gate space and woke up immediately.

He guessed that he could only stay in that space when he was asleep, or that there was something else he didn't know about.

"I don't know if it's just a dream or if it's true..."Xia Wei thought so, and suddenly raised his head to look at Agaxia, "Within ten minutes, I want all of Diluc's information." ”

Agaxia bowed gracefully, then walked out of the room with a smile, and sure enough, within ten minutes she had retrieved a file.

"Here's all the Fatui in Mondstadt have to know about Diluc." Agaxia spoke softly.

Xia Wei took the information and looked at it.

"Diluc. Legmond Fender, male, the young owner of Dawn Winery and the former cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius, lost faith in the Knights five years ago due to the tragic death of his friend in the mouth of the demon dragon Usa and quit the Knights

He locked himself in his room for a while back at Dawn Winery, and only came out much later to investigate the dragon Ursa and the Evil Eye, but to no avail

After leaving Mondstadt for nearly four years, he visited various countries in Teyvat to investigate, and in the process grew rapidly in power, returning after four years..."

After reading these materials, Xia Wei was confused, and after I crossed back, Diluc was dead, and then I have been investigating this matter in the Seven Kingdoms.

Xia Wei couldn't understand Diluc's thoughts, obviously he had only known people for a day, so you wouldn't have reached this point!

I secretly made up my mind that the next time I entered the time gate space, I must explain this matter clearly.

The most important thing now is to gain a foothold in Mondstadt and find out what the sight of Mondstadt is all about when you first enter the gate.

The 7 written on the door at that time should be seven days later, and now one day has passed, and there are still six days before that scene happened.

In short, take one step at a time, and wait until you enter the time gate space to look again, this disaster may not become an opportunity for him.

At this time, Xia Wei suddenly found that the surrounding environment was no longer the intensive care unit of yesterday, he looked at Agasya again and asked, "Where is this?" What about the other three? ”

"This is the property I bought in Mondstadt with the money from the puppeteer, and the other three have also done as I asked you to buy the machine factory you mentioned to the puppeteer." Agatya reported softly.

"That's good, let them not reveal their identities, and be careful when handing over to the other Fatui, by the way, is the lady in Mondstadt?"

Xia Wei was talking, and suddenly remembered the lady and asked casually.

"Madam, you expect to arrive in Mondstadt tonight, do you have any orders?" Agatya asked.

"It's okay, I'll just ask, leave her alone, try not to contact her, just follow my orders, and now go out with me to see how Mondstadt is doing." Xia Wei didn't care.

"Yes, Mr. Xia Wei." Agatya agreed, and then followed Xia Wei out of the house.

Coming to the outside world, the environment of Mondstadt City made his eyes shine, and it felt very familiar, much more different than it was five years ago, but it seemed that nothing had changed.

Agasy's rented house is located west of Mondstadt, near which there are several windmills with their blades spinning.

After walking some distance, Xia Wei heard the sound of a harp in his ears, and he followed the sound and saw a bard dressed in linen playing and singing.

Then he suddenly remembered the idea he had mentioned to Diluc before.

He came to the bard, went to the bowl in front of him, and threw two Mora of ten thousand denominations.

"Interested in talking?" Xia Wei asked with interest.

The bard stopped playing, took off his hat apologetically, bowed to the audience who had been listening to him, and came to Xia Wei.

"What do you want to talk about, generous sir?"
