Verse 71 converges

Sasria's name may not be known to every soldier of the Mondstadt Knights, but as a Regional Security Officer, he must keep in mind the information of the Knights' higher-ups, just as he must recognize every big man in his jurisdiction and their family crests.

In this way, when you see a big person, you won't be rude and forget to say hello.

And to be able to achieve the position of garrison chief, of course, he has to do much more than that.

After seeing Sasria's exclusive knight badge, the attitude of the garrison commander immediately became much gentler, as if a loving elder looked at a talented junior.

Xu Yun naturally didn't notice these changes in details, and just routinely made the necessary notes with the operator in charge of the crime scene and left in a hurry.

Of course, while making the record, he didn't forget to ask the garrison chief to help investigate the whereabouts of the demons in his jurisdiction, after all, it was related to whether the clues would be cut off.

Legally speaking, demons are not allowed to appear in the Mondstadt realm, especially in Mondstadt, the capital of the Mondstadt Free State, and even legitimate merchants of the Morta realm are not allowed to enter. But these are rules on the bright side, and in any country, in a city, there is another system on the dark side.

Xu Yun didn't believe that there really weren't demons in Mondstadt, even if they disguised themselves as rats that only haunted the night. The lower classes of the commoners may consciously obey the laws of the Free State, but the nobles, as a privileged class, will always have some needs that they do not want to be known.

By the time we left the Camel and Sand Coconut Hotel, the starry sky was already shining brightly, and the moon, which had been missing before, was now squeezing its entire body out of the eastern horizon.

Silver moonlight shone on the red roof tiles of Mondstadt, illuminating it a dark red like congealed blood.

"I have to act quickly, the evil taste of the assassin who operates in the shadows has helped me, but if too much time is wasted, this clue may be broken."

Xu Yun simply tied her long hair at the back of her head into a less obstructive ponytail with a headband she borrowed from the female city guard, while walking quickly on the neat streets paved with bluestone tiles where the moonlight and the glow of the street lamps were intertwined.

Every brick and tile here is a little more elaborate than in the lower town, but that's all, and in the cracks between the laneways and the buildings, who knows how much squalor lurks in the dark.

At this point in time, the public carriage has been suspended, and the private carriages raised by the nobles are running on the streets, reaching out to stop one, but the coachman doesn't even bother to put his eyes on Xu Yun.

Failing to stop the car again, even if Xu Yun was in a hurry, he could only hold his breath and run towards the Dongfeng District of Xiacheng District, where there are many bars, theaters and brothels in the commercial street, and the taxi carriages that do night business will work until late at night.

It is better to have a carriage to travel than to run back to the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius on two legs, and now Xu Yun's only worry is whether he can find Sasria successfully, hoping that she is still in the office or has returned to the dormitory to rest at this time.

These two places were also the only places he could think of finding her now.

"Are you going to run back on two legs?"

In the zigzag staircase that Xu Yun walked down, from the north wind area to the east wind area, a familiar voice collided with him head-on.

Through him, he saw two figures coming up from the bottom of the stairs from the corner.

One is curvaceous but still wearing heavy armor on this hot summer night, and the other is upright, muscular but not clumsy and heavy.

The two ponytails of fiery red and iron gray are raised high, swaying in the night breeze.

"Sasria! How did you end up here? ”

Xu Yun looked at the two people who appeared in front of him in surprise, and it was really surprising to meet these two people here.

"I'm also wondering why I'm here to see you, it seems that the day's drills haven't drained your potential, so it's not good to stay in the dormitory to rest so late, but you're running around outside." Sasriya's amber eyes swept in the direction of the north wind area where Xu Yun came from.

Originally, I thought that this disciple was looking for fun in the Dongfeng District, but it seemed that he had wronged him a little. There is indeed a lot of fun in the Dongfeng District, but the North Wind District, as the residence of most nobles, does not have those places to play.

"I came here after some clues, and I happened to come across a homicide, and I was making notes before, and before I knew it, it was at this time." When making the record, Xu Yun had already taken advantage of the convenience brought by the knight's badge to shorten and omit a lot of cumbersome relief, but he didn't expect that time would still slip away too much when he came out.

"Follow up on some leads? Is there anything you need to trace? Landis hadn't woken up from the conversation between the two, and only looked at the young man in front of him and subconsciously asked.

He stretched out his hand to touch Xu Yun's hair, but the latter took a step back to dodge.

"Really, it's still so uncute. Obviously not a little taller. Landis smacked, retracting the palm of her failed hand.

"My disciple is very powerful, you can play with him when you have time. I feel like you're no match for him when you're his age. Sasria smiled, the corners of her mouth rising a little proudly.

"You should remember the stone ball I asked you to investigate."

"Of course I remember, the two of us were miserable by your little ghost, and we were questioned by the council for this matter, and now it is our job to track down the trouble caused by that stone ball." Landis didn't pretend to hide his emotions, and complained directly.

"In fact, the full name of that stone ball is 'The Eye of Calamity of the Demon Dragon', and everyone who sees it will be silently involved in the fate of the Calamity. This is my speculation, and the clue I have now is that it is highly likely that it was deliberately placed in the Nancheng Bazaar by the Corrupted Ones, so that it and all the people in the bazaar who were illuminated had some kind of fateful involvement. Xu Yun said quickly.

The Demon Dragon's Pupil of Calamity, the specific function system has not been explained, but in the Genshin Impact games played in the previous life, there are various settings laid out by the game producers, which are hidden in various books and paper leaflets that can be collected by players on the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain, and the records about the Demon Dragon are also hidden in some of the books in the library of the Knights of Favonius.

Although Xu Yun is not a primordial scholar and has a strong interest in completing the background story of Genshin Impact and the world structure, in the era of information explosion with the flourishing of short videos, this kind of video summarizing game-related content will always be pushed to the homepage of the website he watches under the magic power of big data.

Then he clicked on it and listened to the video while playing the game.

The only thing that is still uncertain is whether the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain has already fallen there with the demon dragon Durin, and whether the current time node can correspond to the game.

After all, Mondstadt is not just the Knights of Favonius, and the Aeolian Church is not an organization that simply spreads the faith.

"The dragon's pupil of calamity?" Sasria's pupils constricted imperceptibly, apparently aware of the existence of the Demon Dragon.

"In ancient times, the dragon clan ruled the earth, the dragon god ruled the sky, there was a demon dragon that occupied a corner of the world, and the demon dragon's double eyes had supreme power, and those who were seen by the right eye were plagued by calamities, and those who were seen by the left eye were destroyed by their souls. Therefore, its right eye is called the Pupil of Calamity, and its left eye is called the Pupil of Destruction. The Demon Dragon is the general of the dragon clan that rules the land, and has the most powerful combat power among the dragon clan. ”

"Now the former overlords, the dragons who are the masters of the Teyvat world, have disappeared, and what remains is more of the history of the countryside and old legends. And this passage is the document recorded in the canons of the Bailong Sect that still survives today. Sasria explained.

"Some time ago I was invited to Liyue to attend a festival there, and by the way, I was attending a conference on behalf of Mondstadt. At the meeting, the head of the General Affairs Department of Yujingtai said that the Fallen have recently been close to the Treasure Hoarders and the Dragon Cult in Liyue, and that there have been many strange cases in the countryside. ”

Seeing that Landis also cast a curious gaze, Sasria, who was the only one of the three with a double apex of intelligence and combat power, opened her mouth to explain.

"Regarding the records of the dragon clan, there are some records in the library under the jurisdiction of the council, and my family also includes some books related to this, but I spend most of my time honing my martial arts, and I have little time left to read books, and I haven't read this part yet." Landis embarrassedly touched the wing of her nose and found herself a staircase.

"If it is related to the Pupil of Calamity, I am afraid that it is not as simple as the disappearance of the researcher behind this matter, not to mention the involvement of the Fallen." Sasria thought as she clasped her hands to her chest and rubbed her chin with one hand.

The three of them stood in the corner of the stairs, but luckily it was late at night, so they didn't have to worry about passers-by overhearing their conversation.

"Then why are you here?" Xu Yun continued with his previous question.

"Of course, I received news that there was a case in the hotel run by the Sumeru people. We were investigating at the research institute, and we didn't have a clue to find clues related to the disappearance of the researcher, so we thought of the profiteer, and there happened to be a new situation here, so we came over with the intention of trying it out. Landis explained casually.

"If we know that the stone ball is the Pupil of Calamity, we will investigate the Sumeru merchants first. Instead of wasting precious time in the institute. Sasria looked at her disciple dissatisfied, with some reproach in her eyes.

A look at why you didn't have an honest explanation before.

Xu Yun shrugged helplessly, "I also just learned about these news, just before I met you, I fought with the fallen in the lanes of the North Wind District, and they thought they would definitely be able to take me down, so the tone was not so tight, and I came up with some news." ”

"Ha~ It seems that your childlike appearance has helped you a lot. You know, when I first met you, I was deceived by this appearance for a long time. You can't even look at it by looks. Landis smiled casually, "The depraved who fought you must have suffered a lot, right?" ”

"Even if I suffered a small loss, I almost ended up in that alley." Xu Yun pulled the ponytail hanging from the back of his head, and even though he was tied into a high ponytail that turned upward, the tips of the hair that had been born still hung down to the back of his hips.

"That guy can blend into the darkness and manipulate his hair, and his abilities are pretty weird. But in a head-to-head confrontation, I'm obviously better than her, so I guess I used my strength to force the game. Xu Yun explained lightly, and right here, two slender white fingers gently caressed his neck.

There, through the moonlight, you can faintly see some strangulation marks that have not yet dissipated.

Sasria's gaze narrowed dangerously, and the momentum of a strong man who had belonged to the deputy head of the Knights of Favonius rose on her body.

"I'm still wondering why you guys have such long hair because of why I haven't seen you for a few days." Although Landis's tone was still relaxed, his whole temperament was also sharp.

"Let's go, take us to the alley where you fought each other, and hopefully we can find some clues left by them in the elemental vision." He said directly

"The other party is not a fool, since he has already fought with Timmy, he will definitely erase his whereabouts. Now we should be looking for the demons in Mondstadt. These rats, your guys should be familiar with them, right? Instead of rushing to investigate the fight, Sasria turned to look at Landis.

"Well, the gift of angels was originally an inheritance opened by the family to collect information, and it is true that they know more about things in the dark than the knights on the surface. But the Knights should have their own channels in this regard, right? ”

"Not to mention the scope of the Knights of Favonius, you also know that the most involved with these forces in the dark are the guys of the Lion of the South Wind, and those guys have never been very active in intelligence sharing."

"Hey, this can't be helped, although we are all a family, each knight order also has its own positions and ideas." Landis smiled faintly, took out a silver-white metal piccolo from his pocket, and took it into his mouth to breathe.

Xu Yun didn't hear the piccolo make a sound, but a moment later, a gray-feathered night owl fluttered its wings and fell.

Landis stretched out his arm to catch it skillfully, and gave a few phrases to the night owl, and then gently raised his arm to send it, and the night owl flapped its wings again, and soon flew into the night and disappeared.

"So where are we going next? It's to go back to my tavern for a drink to refresh yourself and wait for news. Or do you want to go to the site first? Landis sent the night owl away and turned to look at the two beside him.

"If we go to the field and know more about our opponents, we will have an advantage when we play each other." Sasria said as a matter of course.

"Listen to you, my lady." Landis gracefully stroked his chest, and motioned to Xu Yun with his eyes to lead the way.

At this time, you are responsible for being a gentleman, and you have to be a guide dog.

Xu Yun pursed his lips, although he was unhappy in his heart, but the current situation was already the best, much better than he expected. If you wait until you go to Dongcheng District to rent a carriage and return to the Knights of Favonius, and meet Sasria by mistake, maybe you will have to see her again after dawn. After all, Sasria said that she would listen to her side tomorrow to see if she would accept the escort mission.

At that point, the precious recourse time that you will miss will only be more.

The three of them first went to the Camel and Sand Coconut Hotel, and saw that the lively crowd had dispersed, and even the guests in the hotel changed their rooms away from the scene of the crime and went to bed. The soldiers of the city guard guard at the scene are still busy, and the blockade of the scene is just the beginning, supervising and protecting the dancing girl of one of the victims, and containing the body of the Sumeru merchant, they also need to collect evidence from the crime scene. And find a copyist to record the scene in the form of a copy.

The arrival of Sasria and Landis attracted the highest attention from the garrison, he himself did not expect that the apprentice who had just sent off the big man would usher in the big man himself so soon, it seems that he didn't stay up all night tonight, so he didn't want to go home to rest.

The process of investigating the crime scene is lackluster, after the two vision-awakened people collected some elemental traces with the elemental vision, they were not interested in other physical evidence in the crime scene, anyway, some of the other party's methods, the two have already dictated through Xu Yun, and they know almost everything, even if the files and scene records provided by the city guards, the most valuable thing in them is only the confession record left by Xu Yun before.

After a few polite and simple exchanges, the two quickly left the hotel with Xu Yun and came to the alley where the previous battle was held.

Here, the two found more traces of the elemental power, but the traces disappeared shortly after exiting the other end of the aisle, apparently deliberately erasing the trail by the female assassin and her accomplice who rescued her, leaving behind false clues that misled the stalkers.

After pursuing the second alley, Sasria realized that it would be futile to pursue any further, because it was obvious that someone in this alleyway had deliberately arranged a lot of spoiled and rancid food waste, which clearly meant disgusting trackers.

"Follow this clue, and if you're fast enough, you might catch up with the guy who laid these baits.

But by that time, the real target had long since shifted positions. Following the bait will only lead you by the nose and go around in more circles and waste time. Sasria sniffed the foul smell in the air, frowned and stopped continuing further into the alleyway.

"Let's go, let's go back to the tavern and wait for news. Is it okay to bother your men to leave work late? She turned to Landis.

"It's a privilege to serve beautiful ladies, and I pay them extra wages." The corners of Landis's mouth went up. "Besides, since we have to wait for news, these guys can't leave work so early."

Raising these subordinates is to be used, and at this time, what is there to delay rest, unless they want to lose this job.

"As for Timmy, it's not good for a child to sleep too late, and when I get back to the tavern, I will arrange for a carriage to take him back to the Knights' quarters?

I also have a room for him in the Angel's Gift dormitory, and if there is no curfew requirement on the training side, it is okay to sleep in the tavern dormitory tonight. Landis thoughtfully thought about Xu Yun and winked at Xu Yun.

Obviously, he didn't want Xu Yun to disturb his good deeds.

"Let's have some supper together and then leave, after running for so long and going through a battle, he is also very hard. At this time, let him go back on an empty stomach, I, as a teacher, will seem too mean. Sasria put her palm on the side of Xu Yun's neck and patted it gently.

She heard the sound of Xu Yun's stomach gurgling just now.

If you look up now, you can see that a full moon has hung in the middle of the sky, and the galaxy has been robbed of most of its brilliance under its light.

"Dear Leah, you are definitely the best teacher I have ever met, I don't think my teacher has ever cared for me so much. He always let me have a treat. Landis wasted no time in complimenting.

"Don't call me that, it's always a little uncomfortable to be called that." Sasria clearly didn't like the intimacy of the title.

"Well, I thought you'd like this way of talking as much as those noble ladies, and to be honest, I hate it, and the usual conversation suits me best." Landis immediately changed his ways, returning to his usual normal tone.

"Actually, isn't it quite romantic to talk like this occasionally?

Oh ~ Sasria, my Sasria, my heart is crazy about you, my love is like a fire, burning my body all the time, you are the pure moonlight, the morning dewdrops, the blooming roses, I can't live without you~"

Xu Yun suddenly said a series of lines in an aria without warning, and skimmed Landis with his eyes.

As if she had heard something terrible, Sasria took two steps back as if she trembled, and looked up and down at Xu Yun who was posing on the stage with a new look.

But recalling the words just now, her heart couldn't help but jump a little faster. These sensual words that make people blush, this is the first time someone has said this to themselves.

It's disgusting, but it doesn't seem like I'm so repulsive.

Ashamed and annoyed that she would have such thoughts, she glared at her apprentice with resentment, and cautiously peeked at Landis beside her.

If he had said this, how would he feel?

Landis looked at Xu Yun in amazement with the expression of eating cockroaches, he opened his mouth and pointed at Xu Yun with an exaggerated expression, and for a while what he wanted to say was forgotten, and then his keen senses caught the subtle changes in the expression on Saslia's face.

Although she said she hated the tone, it didn't seem entirely annoying.

"I went to the theater with my friends tonight to see a show, and I couldn't help but want to do it with this just right starlight and moonlight. After all, the decoration of the curtain on the stage was not as beautiful as it is now at night.

If you don't like it, Sasria is just a clumsy relaxation. Xu Yun put away his movements and coughed.

Seeing Landis and Sasria standing side by side reminded him of Romeo and Juliet's love story, and for some reason, he wanted to come to such a part now, stirring and stirring.

"Uh-huh~ The performance is very exaggerated, it seems that my dear disciple~ You don't have a talent for acting~ It's better to follow the teacher and practice swordsmanship. After this escort mission, the amount of practice is doubled. Sasria couldn't help but use some arias as well.

As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xu Yun had to admit that this was the first time he had seen Sasria smile so happily, as if at this moment, all the stars and moonlights had become dim, and the glow was robbed by her smile.

The word bright and moving is for her at this moment.

The heavy atmosphere that weighed on the crowd was much lighter, and Landis took the opportunity to tell some anecdotes that were popular among the aristocracy.

Xu Yun searched his stomach and pulled out two jokes from his memory, but unfortunately the people in this world didn't understand the stalks that were once popular in that world at all, and the jokes became cold jokes, but the relaxed atmosphere was not lost.

Walking briskly back to the angel's gift, Xu Yun unexpectedly saw Wendy who was leaning on the door frame outside the tavern door and plucking the strings.

"Yo, my friend, on this beautiful night, I picked some of the sweetest apples from the Star Cliff fruit tree, and I thought I would share them with you, how about we have a drink together?" You're in for a treat, of course. ”

Wendy's strings spill a soft and clear tone, and the timbre is naturally reminiscent of a playful night breeze sneaking through the alleyway.

And after the wind came out of the alley, there was something strange mixed in.

"I don't seem to have a reason to refuse."

There is a message hidden in the sound.

Taking the initiative to meet the blue eyes of the bard, the eyes of the two seemed to be talking silently, and the poet's eyes hid an inexplicable teasing smile.

Sasria and Landis both know Wendy, and although they don't know the identity of the bard, they know that this poet is Xu Yun's friend, and he has never hidden many important things from him, and the friendship between the two is obviously deeper than he expected.

After all, Xu Yun had used a once-in-a-lifetime request with both of them.

However, just when the two of them also said hello to the cuckold poet. A slender figure pushed open the door of the tavern and pounced on Xu Yun with swaying long cherry-colored hair.

"You're back? My master. I thought you didn't want me anymore~" A language that I had never heard before was preached by a beautiful voice, and the ups and downs of each syllable had a strange but subtle charm. Just listening to it in your ears is like a pleasure.

There is no need to know the language, but the people already understand the meaning.

Divine Language?!
