Chapter 7: The City of Freedom
On the premise that Diluc provided three belts, Ruo Ban skillfully tied the two living debt collectors and the unconscious Thunder Warlock with the belts.
"I haven't encountered the Treasure Hoarders much recently, and my technology is a little rusty."
Ruoban clapped his hands, looked at the bundled Fatui in front of him and nodded with satisfaction, Diluc glanced thoughtfully at the taut belt, it seemed that the merchant named Liben really didn't fool him, the quality of the belt was indeed one top and one good.
"What, brother, I don't know which direction Mondstadt is in, for some reason I can't find the location of Mondstadt right now."
"Of course, if you want to go to Mondstadt too, you can take me with you, and the Fatui bounties will be given to you."
Ruo Ban kicked the debt collector who was still struggling, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't want the white-haired little girl floating in the air to see the bloody picture, he would have slaughtered these Fatui a long time ago.
"We do have to go back to Mondstadt, and if this friend is also your destination, let's go together."
"As for the Fatui, the Knights of Favonius may have a rule for taking in captives, but I don't."
As he spoke, a fire elemental soared, and the scorching flames distorted the air, and the three Fatui in the flames turned into ashes and dissipated on the land after a few screams.
During the period, although Ruoban deliberately wanted to stop it, he saw that the white-haired little girl who could fly and the yellow-haired girl who was suspected of being stupidized by the Fatui did not have any discomfort on their faces.
This made Ruo Ban a little confused, according to the information he got from Sister Keqing, didn't the people of Mondstadt rely on the Knights of Favonius in particular, he clearly remembered that Sister Keqing complained that the people of Mondstadt were like a group of children who didn't grow up, so why did the three Fatui kill them when they said they would.
"Boss Ruotuo, do you think we are in the wrong place, why don't these people feel like good people to me?"
"If you ask me who I'm going to ask, Uncle Ben doesn't know them, but you pay attention to that little guy with yellow hair, I feel a very strange power in her."
Ruo Tuo's serious voice sounded in Ruo Ban's mind, Ruo Ban glanced at the yellow-haired girl who looked stupid, if it wasn't for his trust in Ruo Tuo, Ruo Ban really didn't think there was anything noteworthy about this girl.
"Hey, hey, why don't you talk, I don't think this little brother can help, it's definitely not a bad person, Ying, we might as well make friends with him."
Paimon's words made Ying nod in agreement, I don't know why, although this person seems a little unreliable, but he has a reassuring aura on him, and this strange sense of contradiction makes Ying also a little interested.
"Hello, my name is Ying, and I'm a traveler."
"Hello, my name is Ruoban, Liyue, and you're not an experiment of the Fatui, I thought you were the Fatui before, I'm really embarrassed."
"Well, I'll treat you to a meal when you get to Mondstadt, and I'll treat it as an apology."
Seeing Ying introduce herself to him, Ruo Ban was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head embarrassedly, taking a little girl for a fool, Ruo Ban was also a little embarrassed in his heart, Paimon heard that Ruo Ban was going to invite Ying to dinner, and his big eyes immediately lit up.
"That one, my name is Paimon, and I'm a traveler's best friend, so I can't go with me when I'm on a treat."
"What the best buddy, it's just an emergency food."
"Traveler!!"
Hearing Paimon's self-introduction, Ying, who had already been exhausted by Paimon, complained very unceremoniously, which made little Paimon stomp his feet in the air angrily, and Paimon's cute appearance made Ruo Ban's eyes light up.
"Haha, since you're Ying's traveling companion, let's go together."
"Really? That's great! You're a good person. ”
Hearing Ruo Ban say that she also had her share in the treat, Paimon excitedly circled around Ruo Ban several times, and Yingwei on the side held her forehead, Paimon was a shameful guy, as if her traveler had starved her Paimon.
"This is not the place to speak, and we don't know if these Fatui have informed the executive, so let's wait until we return to the angel's gift."
Diluc took the Lyre of the Sky from the platform and held it in his arms, and after checking it to make sure it was not damaged, Diluc breathed a sigh of relief and urged the group to get out of here.
After learning how to save Dvalin, Diluc didn't want to participate in any battle that could damage the Sky Lyre, otherwise Diluc wouldn't mind using this base to fish to teach the Fatui a lesson.
Along the way, under Paimon's explanation, Ruoban roughly understood the situation in Mondstadt at this time, and the raging Dvalin and the pressing Fatui could not be overstated in terms of internal and external troubles.
"That's how Barbatos runs Mondstadt? Mondstadt is like this, and that guy doesn't show up to deal with it? Morax, that guy also knows that the annual Immortal Ritual uses rock elemental clones to fool around. ”
"Sure enough, among the Seven Gods, only Morax is the most competent."
Hearing about Mondstadt's current situation, Rata said that he had never imagined that a country would be so aggrieved after observing Liyue for so many years, and that it was a matter of being ridden by the neck of the Fatui on his own territory, and that although he wanted to beat up Morax, he still agreed with Morax's ability to govern the country.
Ruo Ban also deeply agrees with this, not to mention anything else, in terms of dedication, the Rock King Emperor is really the benchmark among the seven gods, even if Sister Ke Qing put forward the concept of human rule and questioned the Rock King Emperor, but this does not prevent Sister Ke Qing from admiring the Rock King Emperor.
"If forbidden boys, if the Fatui dare to be so presumptuous in Liyue, do you know what to do?"
"Don't worry, Boss Ruoto, if the Fatui really dare to do this in Liyue, they will never see the sun the next day."
"That's good, this Liyue is also my brainchild, if someone does it, hum!"
Hunting down those who do evil in the night, Ruo Ban has not done it all these years, and he even worked with Yelan to attack the 'rich' among the Fatui executives.
He heard that there was a guy in Mondstadt called the Night Hero who was also doing this kind of work, and if he had the chance, he thought he would be able to get along with the Night Hero.
"I've been walking all the way and I'm finally here, and my phantom limbs are getting tired."
On the bridge in Mondstadt, Paimon hammered her shoulder with his small hand and looked very tired, which made Ying, who is currently the weakest except for Paimon, roll her eyes, she didn't say that she was tired after walking all this way, what are you tired of flying in mid-air with emergency food.
Looking at the brightly lit Mondstadt City not far away, Paimon also performed at the level of a guide, pointing to Mondstadt City and introducing Ruoban.
"Forbidden, forbidden, although I am not from Mondstadt, I still have to say one thing, welcome to Mondstadt, the idyllic city of wind and dandelions, the capital of freedom!"
