Chapter 9: A Dangerous Conspiracy
Ying and Paimon watched in amazement, the wind in the sky swirling and the dragon roaring in rage.
"It's the dragon I saw in the Whispering Forest before!" Paimon said in surprise.
Ying didn't speak, just nodded lightly, Xia Wei didn't know what this mysterious girl was thinking at the moment, was she running away? Or run away with the others?
Amber recovered from her surprise, her face full of anxiety, "Paimon, and Ying, can you help me evacuate the people of Mondstadt?" ”
Ying and Paimon looked at each other, then confirmed their eyes, since Amber had helped the two of them a lot since he came to Mondstadt, he should help them all now.
Xia Wei followed behind the three of them, watching them shout in the streets, telling the people of Mondstadt to hide in the basement or in their houses, and as far away as possible from Mondstadt.
But the howling wind drowned out their cries, and many of the residents of Mondstadt were still injured in the disaster, and some of their unsturdy houses were blown into the sky by tornadoes.
Thankfully, the Knights of Favonius moved quickly and left the center of the storm with all the residents of Mondstadt who could take them with them.
It wasn't long before Jean and the Knights of Favonius arrived at Mondstadt Square to join the three of them, who had no way to fly and had nothing to do with Dvalin above the clouds.
Although Xia Wei could hold them up by controlling the wind element, he couldn't do it now, because at this moment, he had no way to directly change the future.
At best, it can only exist as an observer.
"Is this the impending crisis in Mondstadt?"
Xia Wei thought about what kind of benefits this matter could bring to himself, and what he could do to maximize the benefits.
It was at this moment that something unexpected happened to him, and the Eye of Ji Gu observed that an endless stream of wind elemental power suddenly poured into Ying's body.
Although he didn't see the initiator, he still gained the ability to give power to others.
"Someone gave her power..."Xia Wei looked directly at Ying, watching her slowly held up by the wind elemental until she was level with the dragon in the sky.
A fierce battle took place in the sky between a man and a dragon, and Ying seemed to be prompted by someone to attack the wound on the dragon's back.
Xia Wei saw an ominous blood from the wound on the dragon's back, as well as a curse from the pitch black.
Maybe it's Ying's attack that hurts the dragon, or... Awakening it a little, the dragon no longer fought Ying, but flapped its wings and flew off into the distance.
Ying didn't bother to go after her, she stayed on the ground, enjoying the honor of being the one who defeated the dragon, a battle that made her a hero in Mondstadt.
Even Xia Wei had a smile on his face, in this battle, Ying's worth has increased several times, originally he just wanted to use the reasonable proximity of the contract to get to know the two, but now there was a surprise.
As a hero with honor, you must be able to make a lot of money by holding a concert, and... With Ying as a guarantee, his future actions will be much easier!
While thinking like this, Xia Wei chased in the direction that the dragon left, but he was very curious about the cause and effect of the incident.
After walking for a long time, Xia Wei came to a ruin, which seemed to be many years old, and some of the masked savages were still alive.
Fortunately, the savages could not see Xia Wei, and he could pass through safely, but when he reached a once glorious ruin, he was blocked by a wall of wind.
He had tried before, but there was no way to interfere in the future, so he couldn't even mobilize the wind elements here to disperse, and in the end, he could only return in vain.
After knowing what he wanted to know, Xia Wei left here and returned to the space-time gate space, taking advantage of the time to visit Mondstadt in -2 years.
Xia Wei stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of -2 years and walked in, and in a burst of light he appeared on the Mondstadt Bridge outside Mondstadt.
The people around him didn't notice him suddenly at first, and after a while, they cast a strange look, as if they were wondering if there was no one here.
But they didn't linger for long, for a slightly smaller figure caught their attention.
Draped in a wide cloak and covered in bandages that even covered her face, she watched with wary eyes at the people who were looking at her.
The two Knights of Favonius, stationed at the gates of Mondstadt, looked at each other and stopped her.
Just as they were about to make a routine question, a carriage pulled out from behind the city gates.
Inside the carriage were two diplomats from the Solstice Kingdom.
Xia Wei saw with his own eyes that the curtain of the carriage suddenly burned, it was a black-purple flame, which reminded him of the demon dragon Usa who had fought before.
In just a moment when he was stunned, these flames converged into a black fire serpent, and the black fire serpent ignited the carriage in an instant, and the two diplomats of the Winter Kingdom in the carriage were instantly engulfed.
The purple fire broke the reins, and the frightened horse fled into the distance, colliding with many innocent pedestrians along the way.
The two Knights of Favonius at the city gate were silently alarmed, and when they passed, they found that the two diplomats of the Solstice Kingdom had been burned to the ground, and there were no residues left.
However, Xia Wei noticed that the boy who was wrapped in bandages before had already taken advantage of the chaos to run into the city.
In order to investigate the truth of the matter, Xia Wei chased after him.
......
"Solstice wants us to give an explanation and immediately arrest the real culprit of the Black Fire Case."
In the office of the captain of the Knights of Favonius, Jean covered her forehead with a headache, and in front of her stood Kaeya and Lisa.
"I also can't figure out how the two Solstice diplomats were attacked under the nose of the Knights of Favonius, and no one even saw what the attackers looked like." Kaeya spread her hands with a helpless look on her face.
Lisa just smiled at this and didn't speak.
"I suspect that the killer has infiltrated Mondstadt, and this is only a time to step up patrols, so let's arrange the Recon Knights to be on guard at different times." Jean called a Knight of Favonius and gave the order.
......
As night enters Mondstadt, the stars rise in mid-air, and no one around, and Collei arrives in Mondstadt Square, where the massive statue of the Anemo God attracts her attention.
Just as she walked in to get a closer look, she suddenly felt a throbbing in her heart and a hand on her shoulder.
"Little brother, I saw it on the bridge just now, it was you who attacked those two Solstice Kingdoms..."
Xia Wei was frightened by the blade-like flames in Collai's hand that suddenly turned around in the middle of speaking, but fortunately dodged in time, otherwise he would definitely be injured.
Just as he was about to fight back, he saw Collet, who had just suddenly attacked, fall to the ground with a painful look on his face.
He used the Eye of the Ancient Eye, and immediately discovered an ominous power in Collei's body, which seemed to be eroding him, not only in his body, but also in his mind.
