Chapter 763: Suspected 'Old Man' (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Tell me, how much wine can help open the entrance."
Watching Wendy gulp down wine,
Wang Daoyi waved his hand, as if I had money.
"It's not a question of how much alcohol you have."
"Ten bottles."
"It's all said it's not about the wine."
"A hundred bottles."
"Goo-dong...... It's not a matter of alcohol. ”
"All-you-can-drink for a month."
“…… Actually, it's not impossible, it's just..."
"All-you-can-drink for a year."
"Deal, you're really a generous employer."
Wendy shook Wang Daoyi's hand, looking elated, and couldn't see the majesty of the gods.
Of course, there is a hint of joke in this, neither Wendy nor Wang Daoyi regard fine wine as a real deal.
"Inside Mondstadt, there is indeed a gate to the Isle of Skye, just below the statue.
To activate it, it does require my strength, and blood is only the lowest method,
A better way is to activate it with my authority,
But it will make me weak,
So, if I want you to help you open the gates to Skye, first of all, you need to help me keep Mondstadt safe. ”
Very reasonable request.
At this point in time, if Wendy loses the power to protect Mondstadt, then there is a good chance that Mondstadt will be targeted by the Heavenly Reason.
The barrier turned into a thousand-year-old movement may not be able to block the malice of heavenly principles.
"Yes, if necessary, I can send a clone over and protect Mondstadt."
If it is really possible to kill the Heavenly Principle directly, then the Lord of the Red Sand naturally does not need to sit in the [Deceptive Heaven] Array.
"No, no, no, don't bother, just help you get rid of some of the little mice in Mondstadt right now." Wendy said with a smile.
"Huh?" Wang Daoyi raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"Mondstadt has been safe in the years when I have lost my strength and slumbered, so I don't worry about any major problems, mainly some nasty little rats, who seem to be a little too unscrupulous." A hint of coldness appeared on Wendy's soft face.
Wang Daoyi became interested: "It seems that there is really a big incident in Mondstadt, and it has something to do with today's movements of the Knights?" ”
He remembered that when he came to Mondstadt today, the Knights of Favonius seemed to have a lot of movement,
Even the guards at the door have been replaced by newcomers,
It can be seen that the internal personnel are already very nervous.
"Looks like you've observed that too." Wendy nodded, "There have been a lot of disappearances in Mondstadt lately. ”
Missing?
Wang Daoyi looked at Wendy a little strangely: "Is it missing under the surveillance of the Knights, or..."
"It's missing in my perception." Wendy's tone was a little solemn.
"Huh?" Wang Daoyi felt a trace of absurdity,
This is Mondstadt, who can kidnap Barbatos under his watch?
Do you really think that the god of wind is a waste?
Seeing Wang Daoyi's strange eyes, Wendy shook her head: "The other party is very vigilant, the missing people are not the people of Mondstadt, they are all small merchants, adventurers, or migrant workers from abroad. ”
"Because they're not my people, I can't follow them in real time, so I give the bad guys an opportunity."
Wang Dao nodded a little and understood.
Just like if someone kidnaps the people of Chisha in the desert, then Wang Daoyi will definitely find out at the first time.
But if the bad guys kidnap an alien adventurer, then unless Wang Daoyi happens to see it, otherwise, he will definitely not be able to find out.
Although Wang Daoyi has always said that the desert is in his gaze,
But under the sight of the gods, there are also blind spots.
The only thing a god can protect is his people.
"So, all you want is for me to help you find these kidnappers?"
Venti nodded, "Yes, I'm afraid that if I lose some of my power, they might even step up and attack the people of Mondstadt. ”
"In that case, there's no problem, just leave it to me."
Wang Daoyi agreed to Wendy's commission.
But I still have some regrets in my heart,
It would be nice if the yellow hair was there,
He can work as a laborer for nothing.
But soon, he smiled again in his heart, the case of a mere mortal was just a little secret that could be solved at his fingertips.
He even suspects that Wendy didn't take the initiative to solve the kidnapping because he wanted to leave time for a drink.
The two problems of coming to Mondstadt were solved, and Wang Daoyi was in a happy mood.
"Come, drink."
The atmosphere is gradually warming,
Wendy drank and took out her harp to sing a song, which was applauded by the audience.
Drink until evening,
Wang Dao shook his head and threw the drunkenness out of his head,
Say goodbye to a drunken Wendy, then tell Charles to send the bill to the Knights.
He's ready to help the Knights, so it's not too much to send a bill.
Departing from the gift of the angels,
Wang Dao looked at the sky,
At this point, Xiangling should have already cooked and waited for him to go back.
The corners of his mouth flashed with a hint of happiness, and Wang Daoyi walked in the direction of the rental room.
On the road, the Knights of Favonius, still with solemn faces, were patrolling.
The case of the disappearance of outsiders has gradually fermented,
There were even some 'big shots' who were alarmed,
If this continues, Mondstadt's newly restored economy may be hit hard again.
After all, no one wants to do business in an unsafe environment.
Back to the rental house,
Wang Daoyi unexpectedly discovered that in addition to the expected Diona, there were actually guests.
Moreover, it is still a guest who should not be here.
"Xingqiu, Chongyun, how did you end up in Mondstadt?"
That's right, in the rental house are Liyue's heroic duo.
Then Wang Daoyi had a flash of inspiration in his mind,
"Something happened to the people from the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce too?"
Seeing Wang Daoyi come back, Xingqiu stood up, revealing a trace of anger and a wry smile: "It seems that Daoyi you already know, yes, someone from the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce has also been kidnapped." ”
"No wonder the Knights of Favonius have made such a big move, it seems that you have put a lot of pressure on you." Wang Daoyi raised his eyebrows.
Xingqiu's face was not very good-looking: "It's not a pressure, I'm just telling the people of the Knights that if they can't get our people back, then the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce will reconsider business in Mondstadt, and it's impossible for us to put our own employees in danger." ”
"Heh, if the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce evacuates, the caravan from Liyue will be at least half smaller, and the key is that after the news of the kidnapping spreads, Mondstadt's business environment will ...... Jean's efforts over the past year have been in vain. Wang Daoyi shook his head.
Xingqiu still had a calm face: "I affirm the efforts of the head of the Qin troupe, but the efforts are useless, the key is that we must ensure a safe business environment." ”
"Well, how long have you been here, and have you found anything?" Wang Daoyi waved his hand, walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down, signaling Xingqiu not to stand.
Xingqiu sat down and sighed, "At first, there was a steward who was supposed to go back to Liyue to report on his work, but we sent someone over to check on him, and it turned out that the other party had been missing for a while, and then Chongyun and I thought about coming over to take a look.
Unexpectedly, not only our steward, but also the employees of other large and small chambers of commerce have disappeared.
Realizing that something was wrong, we made the necessary [communication] with the Knights.
Calculating the time, we have been here for half a month.
As for the discovery...... No, the Knights don't allow us to investigate on our own, for fear of accidents, and they are currently investigating by themselves.
Chongyun and I also went out to have a look, but we didn't find any information. ”
Wang Dao nodded a little, it turned out that it had been half a month, no wonder Wang Dao returned to Liyue this time, Xingqiu and Chongyun did not appear.
"Did the Fatui check it?" Wang Daoyi suddenly spoke.
Again,
What's going on in Teyvat,
First the Fatui were investigated, then the Abyss Order, and finally the Treasure Hoarders.
In addition to individual cases,
Basically, if there is any bad thing, it is all done by the above three forces.
Xingqiu shook his head, "The Knights have checked the Fatui Mission in Mondstadt and confirmed that they did not make any changes during the incident. ”
Wang Daoyi frowned, and then continued to ask, "Is it just to check the Fatui Mission?" As far as I know, the Fatui still have a large number of troops left in the wilderness of Mondstadt, and even in the Dragonspine Snow Mountain. ”
Xingqiu hesitated for a moment, and then his eyes lit up slightly: "I didn't say it, but many knights have been sent out recently, so they should be to check on the Fatui outside." ”
Wang Daoyi also remembered the hurried westerly knights he saw outside the city.
They should be looking for the Fatui stronghold.
"Have you talked? You can eat. ”
Xiangling and Diona poked their heads out of the kitchen.
Wang Daoyi and Xingqiu glanced at each other: "Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow, I'll accompany you to the Knights tomorrow." ”
Xingqiu showed joy: "Okay, thank you." ”
"With Dao's help, I will definitely be able to catch those people." Chongyun also smiled.
The three of them laughed and got up to help the two girls in the kitchen carry the dishes.
Xiangling's cooking skills are as reliable as ever,
Diona's drink is also very tasty,
When you are full of wine and food,
Diona said goodbye to Xingqiu and Chongyun one after another.
"I'll accompany Xingqiu and them to investigate the case tomorrow, do you want to be together?" In the room, Wang Daoyi leaned on the edge of the bed and looked at Xiangling, who was playing with her hair by the dresser.
After getting married, Xiangling learned to dress up instead.
"No, I've made an appointment with Diona to take Guoba to the Snow Mountain tomorrow."
"Snowy mountains? Looking for mint? ”
The mint in Longji Snow Mountain is very distinctive, much cooler than normal mint,
In the recipes of some specialties and specialty drinks, Snow Mountain Mint has always been an irreplaceable material.
"Well, I'm running out of mint last time, so I'm going to pick a little bit." Xiangling also affirmed Wang Daoyi's conjecture.
Wang Dao nodded: "Okay then, you pay attention to safety." ”
"Don't worry, Diona and I are not weak, besides, there is still a pot here." Xiangling replied with a smile.
The power of the pot is recovering, and the increasingly dense fireworks in the world have gradually returned to its body.
"Then let's rest early."
"Hmm~Okay."
……
Early the next morning,
Wang Daoyi was energetic and looked through the recent morning newspaper in the living room.
With the revival of Mondstadt's commerce, such a thing as a business newspaper became popular in Mondstadt.
Although the people of Mondstadt love freedom, they do not like confinement,
But it's still very tolerant of something as new as a newspaper.
In particular, commercial newspapers that can help make money are becoming popular rapidly.
In the newspaper, in addition to a certain price news, there are more advertisements.
"Refreshing Maple, Enjoy the Deliciousness"
"It's worthy of Fontaine, it's so willing to spend money on newspaper advertising."
In the past few months, Mondstadt has been advertised every day in the Mondstadt business newspaper.
"Daoyi, we're coming."
It's Xingqiu and Chongyun.
"Come for breakfast, Xiangling made pancakes."
Wang Daoyi put down the newspaper and said hello.
Xingqiu and Chongyun took the initiative to go to the kitchen to say hello to Xiangling, and then served porridge and took pancakes.
"Hey, do you read business newspapers too?" Xingqiu's eyes lit up.
Wang Daoyi shook his head: "Just to see if there is any interesting information." ”
"Oh, did you find the information?" Xingqiu seems to be interested in business newspapers.
"Find a point, you see the price of these materials has been rising recently." Wang Daoyi pointed to the newspaper report on the price of some materials.
Xingqiu was a little dazed: "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”
Chongyun also leaned over and took a look: "These seem to be some alchemy materials?" ”
Chongyun is a alchemist, a alchemist, a talisman and an alchemy.
Although I don't know much about Mondstadt's alchemy environment, the materials are still recognizable.
"That's right, it's alchemy materials, and most of these materials are used in biological alchemy." The corners of Wang Daoyi's mouth turned up slightly, as if he saw something interesting.
"Bio-alchemy?" Xingqiu became more and more confused, he couldn't understand it at all.
Chongyun also frowned: "You mean, the reason why the suspect carried out the kidnapping was because he was conducting biological experiments?" ”
He was clever and connected several factors at once.
"There is such a possibility, but it is not denied that it may simply be a normal price fluctuation." Wang Daoyi closed the newspaper, picked up the white porridge, and took a sip.
Xingqiu frowned slightly: "Then should I send someone to investigate?" ”
Xingqiu has dealt with many cases, and when encountering such information, it is best to take a look at who is buying and selling these materials, and generally you can find new clues.
However, Wang Daoyi shook his head: "There is no need, even if it is really a biological experiment, then the other party must have dealt with it from beginning to end, you go to check, you can only find out the normal material transaction." ”
Dare to kidnap so many people, it is definitely not an ordinary person, and this kind of loophole in the transaction of materials may not be able to be found.
"I'd better check it out, or I'll not worry." Xingqiu didn't listen to Wang Daoyi, so he insisted on checking it.
Wang Daoyi didn't care: "It's okay." ”
Xingqiu put down the dishes and chopsticks, went to the door, beckoned, and soon someone ran over,
is a member of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce,
"Let's find out why the price of these materials has increased recently, and who are involved in the transaction."
Xingqiu reported the name of the alchemy material pointed out by Wang Daoyi just now to his subordinates.
"I'll check it out right away." Guys come and go.
Back in the house,
"Someone has been sent to check, and it won't be long before there will be information."
The efficiency of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is really high,
When a few people finished breakfast,
Someone has already sent a message at the door,
"Young Master, we went to check these materials, none of them are from Mondstadt, and the reason why the price will increase is because there is a problem with the place of origin, so the price is rising."
The guy's report made Xingqiu a little disappointed: "So this clue is broken?" ”
Wang Daoyi shook his head: "Not necessarily, this news is very useful." ”
"What do you mean?" Xingqiu was slightly stunned.
"If it's a biological experiment, would they be sourcing materials locally from Mondstadt?" Wang Daoyi looked at Xingqiu.
Xingqiu's eyes lit up: "No, because this will leave traces." ”
"Yes, they certainly don't source materials locally in Mondstadt, so the best thing to do is to buy from the country of origin, but if they don't want to leave any traces of purchase, the best thing to do is ......"
"It's a robbery, a direct robbery, and there will be no regular records." Xingqiu immediately answered.
"So, what are the forces that have the ability to rob in many countries?" Wang Daoyi changed the subject back.
Xingqiu's expression froze: "Fools, Abyss Order, Treasure Hoarders." ”
Going around and around, in the end it's still these three.
However, the Treasure Hoarders are much less suspicious because they are too loosely organized.
"So, Daoyi you already knew?" Xingqiu looked at Wang Daoyi a little depressed, completely devoid of the excitement he had just reasoned about.
Wang Daoyi shook his head: "I don't know, but I also have a little guess." ”
"Let's see if our guess is the same person." There was a voice outside the door, and a man pushed open the door and walked in.
"Hey, Master Diluc." Xingqiu was a little surprised.
Wang Daoyi smiled: "If you don't come again, I will go to the knights by myself and not take you." ”
"Is that him?" Diluc walked up to the king and asked directly.
Wang Dao nodded: "It's very likely, he has a criminal record, but I'm very strange, how did he bypass my induction, normally, I should be able to sense him directly." ”
"He doesn't know how many evil experiments he has done, and it's not surprising that some bizarre methods have been used." Diluc said coldly.
"Heh, it's induction that bypasses me, and it's not something that can be done by strange means." Wang Daoyi's voice was even colder.
On the side, Xingqiu was confused: "No, what are you talking about?" Can you not tell riddles, I don't understand. ”
Wang Dao glanced at him, "Among the Fatui executives, there is a guy who is keen on human experimentation, and he has committed sins in Mondstadt, so Diluc and I suspect that he has returned." ”
That's right, Wang Daoyi suspects that this incident is that the doctor is playing ghosts,
But Wang Daoyi couldn't think of how the doctor had bypassed his induction.
Normally, once the doctor's breath appears, it will definitely be captured by Wang Daoyi's induction, and then the heavens will punish him.
"If our guess is not wrong, then I can't show my face to prevent him from running away." Wang Daoyi looked at Diluc.
Diluc looked confident: "Then leave it to me, I will go and inform the Knights, saying that I have found some clues, and you are directing me behind my back." ”
Faced with the Doctor's enemy, Diluc didn't mind cooperating with the Knights.
Although he still doesn't look down on the Knights, only by cooperating with the Knights will he not arouse the Doctor's suspicions.
For the Doctor, it was normal for the Mondstadt people to unite against him.
If Diluc had been alone, it would have aroused the doctor's suspicions.
"We're all together, too!" Xingqiu and Chongyun also didn't want to miss this operation.
Wang Dao glanced at them and nodded: "Well, with the evidence just now, let's just say that from the abnormal fluctuations in the material, you can see that someone may be doing biological experiments, so you suspect that it is the Doctor of the Fatui." ”
"Okay." The crowd responded.
