Chapter 15: Crimson Hope

In the grass in the distance

Dressed in a Treasure Hoarder outfit, with a pirate blindfold on his face and a black cloth covering his face, Kaeya suddenly stood up as the carriage escorting Xia Wei entered the most suitable charging distance.

"Brothers, come with me to rescue the eldest brother!"

Amid his shouts, the Knights of Favonius, dressed in the same Treasure Hoarder uniform, rushed forward with the weapons they had stolen from the Treasure Hoarders.

Kaeya rushed to the front with a shovel in his hand, and the Fatui who were in charge of escorting Xia Wei were terrified.

"Oh no, it's the Treasure Hoarders! How could they come and rob us? ”

"Didn't you listen to the leader shouting that they were here to save people? We're holding on, and the Lord is coming! ”

The two Fatui who spoke before took out their huntschasse sacrificial knives when they saw the situation, although they looked like ordinary Fatui, but as long as they put on a mask and a hoodie, they were debt handlers.

At that time, they were also trained as debt handlers, but they were inexperienced, and they had to start in this area.

The two debt handlers did not choose to fight hard, and they directly activated the stealth skills unique to debt handlers.

Xia Wei silently wrote down this trick and continued to look at the debt handler war pseudo. Treasure Hoarders.

Kaeya, who rushed to the front, saw the two debt handlers disappear from view, and immediately reacted, using the power of the ice element to form ice crystals around him, as a warning of the approach of the debt handlers.

And the two debt handlers did not rush forward when they saw that they had actually met a vision, but chose the "treasure poachers" without the vision on the side. ”

However... After several unsuccessful attempts to sneak up on these people, one of the debt handlers finally found out about the problem.

"It's not a Treasure Hoarder at all! I've never seen such a tacit cooperation with the Treasure Hoarders, and at first glance, they have undergone rigorous training, and this is the Knights' outfit! ”

"Oh, I'll just say that the blindfolded cavalry captain who looks like the Knights of Favonius... So what now? ”

"Don't be afraid, the Lord has arrived."

After the two debt handlers finished talking, they kept feints around the Knights, and then disappeared immediately.

Seeing the carriage with the Fatui's evil eye icon in the distance getting closer and closer, Kaeya's expression became serious.

"Go get the people out, we'll go right away!"

The Knights who received the order also ignored the two debt handlers who had sneaked up on the attack, and rushed straight to the carriage.

As a result, Xia Wei broke the iron cage that trapped him by himself and came out.

Because of the power of the demon dragon Usa, he even pulled off the iron rod that formed the iron cage and gently threw it in both directions.

The next moment the two corpses were lying upright on the ground, their heads pierced by two iron rods, and they could not die again.

"I'm in a hurry to see you fighting." Xia Wei patted the dust on his sleeve and said.

The corners of Kaeya's mouth twitched slightly, "How did you see those two debt handlers?" ”

"The wind told me." Xia Wei said calmly, with the power of the Wind Demon Dragon to control the wind element, this kind of stealth ability is basically useless to him.

Kaia thought that Xia Wei was talking about the elemental vision, so he just nodded and ran in the direction of the Whispering Forest with Xia Wei and the other knights.

After a while, a carriage came to a slow stop, and a black-skinned old man dressed in Arabic-style clothes stepped out of the carriage.

He came to the corpses of the two debt handlers and stopped for a moment, then looked in the direction of the Whispering Forest and said with a smile, "Interesting." ”

Without much stop, he returned to his carriage and drove towards Mondstadt.

Xia Wei and Kaeya took some detours to enter through the side gate of Mondstadt.

In order to avoid being recognized, Xia Wei put on knight armor under Qin's arrangement, and even put on a helmet.

It didn't take long for Xia Wei to rush back to the library of the Knights of Favonius, Collei was waiting anxiously, while Lisa was sitting in his seat.

She was wearing something like a Bluetooth headset on her ear, green, and was talking to someone.

"That's right, that's it, where is he? On the way? Good. ”

After a while, Lisa took off her headphones and looked at Xia Wei, "You're back?" Everything is taken care of, right? ”

"It's been dealt with, and even if they suspect it, there is no evidence that the Knights did it." Xia Wei said absently, his gaze stayed on the green earphones in Lisa's hand.

"This... What is it? Xia Wei asked curiously.

"Ah, this one, it's the information transmission device that everyone in Sumeru City and Sumeru Port is using, the name is Void, it's the creation of the former grass god Dacishu King, and it relies on the heart of God to operate.

It is usually used to transfer the knowledge acquired by scholars to the Void, but it can also be used for communication, and I just used it to communicate with my mentor in Sumeru

This morning I had already reported to my mentor about Collei, and now the person who could help her was already on her way. ”

Xia Wei breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, by the way, why didn't I see the qin?" ”

"Jean is meeting with the envoy of the Fatui, and I have just met that person, and I feel very bad." Lisa said, pretending to be distressed.

"It's a familiar feeling, he's like the one who injected me with the dregs of the Demon God... If not, it's certainly a gang. Collei struggled to endure the anger in his heart.

"Collet, have you seen him?" Xia Wei asked curiously.

"No, but it just feels familiar." Collei said with a frown.

Xia Wei groaned slightly, and then pulled Collei out of the library immediately.

"You can sense him, most likely because you all have the demon god residue in your body, so he must be able to feel your presence as well, and we'll get out of here right now." Xia Wei said calmly.

"But if that's the case, it's clear that the Knights are the safest." Collei asked, puzzled.

"Don't you want revenge?" Xia Wei turned his head to look at Collei and asked.

Collei was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded, "I think!" ”

"Then come with me."

......

"Then that's it, honorable Deputy Head Qin, since you don't want to continue the search, then I'll do it myself." With an ugly smile on his face, the Fatui old man pushed open the door and left the regimental commander's office.

Jean frowned and looked at his back, and after a while Lisa walked in.

"Just now Ke Wei left the Knights with Collet, and I heard them say that they want revenge... What are you going to do? Violin. Lisa asked, looking at Jean with her arms around her chest.

Jean's brow furrowed even tighter, "That's nonsense, I'm going to let Kaeya follow, and if something happens to them, I'll rescue them immediately." ”

...

Xia Wei and Collei left Mondstadt and ran wildly, acting as if they were running away.

And not far from them, there was always an old man with his hands behind his back and following unhurriedly, as if he was not afraid of them running away at all.
