Chapter 10: The Battle in the Cellar
"Eula, what's wrong with you?"
"Did the Winter Envoy say something bad?"
Seeing Lin Feng walk away, Jean walked up to Eula with a worried face.
Just while talking to those foreign businessmen, she noticed Lin Feng and Eula.
Especially after Lin Feng left, Eula's complexion suddenly became extremely ugly.
Jean couldn't help but wonder if she was being bullied by that bastard-like Winter Solstice again.
Speaking of which.
How the people of Mondstadt don't understand one thing.
That's why Jean, the heir to House Gunnhilde, always speaks for Eula, the sinner descendant of Mondstadt.
You must know that the Gunnhild family was the first nobleman to respond to the call of the god of wind and jointly overthrow the Lawrence family.
It stands to reason that these two families should fight you to the death as soon as they meet.
But the reality is so magical.
The Gunnhilde family always retorted when people criticized Eula, which is incomprehensible.
"Jean, that guy told me a story just now."
Eula's expression was a little painful, and the hand holding the wine glass was still trembling slightly.
"Story?"
"He told you a story?"
Qin was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "What story did he tell you?" ”
Eula told the story in distress.
It's a very simple story, and anyone who knows a little bit about Eula will know that the person in the story is actually her.
The process in between is also unremarkable, nothing special.
But the ending is different.
It's already a clear metaphor for the relationship between the Lawrence family and Eula.
What did this envoy from Solstice mean?
Will the Lawrence family rebel?
And then Eula will kill her relatives and help the Knights of Favonius destroy their plot?
Qin carefully reviewed the ending of the story, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Lin Feng's mind was too vicious.
He clearly wanted Eula to break with the family completely.
Originally, the relationship between Eula and the Lawrence family was very strained.
When she joined the Knights of Favonius, the Lawrence family went to the Knights of Favonius to make a big fuss, and Eula had to come out and give an explanation.
In the end, it was Falgar who stepped forward, and the rest of the Order was resolute enough, which suppressed the criticism of the Lawrence family.
After this incident, Eula's relationship with the family fell to a freezing point.
Now after listening to this story, it is clear that Eula's already fragile sense of belonging to the family is beginning to waver.
Not to mention that this guy has always been a metaphor that the Lawrence family will rebel with outsiders, this shameless betrayal, not to mention Eula, even Jean has a bad heart when he listens to it.
This is clearly to force Eula to choose to break away from the family!
But Eula is surnamed Lawrence after all, and she is still in charge of the Ice Seal, the symbol of the family's martial arts.
What a vicious mind it was to make her and the Lawrence family, and her parents, brothers and sisters completely decide.
"It's vicious."
"Are their hearts so dirty?"
Qin's impression of Lin Feng suddenly became a little worse.
Seeing that Eula was still entangled, she wanted to go and comfort her.
Before she could speak, however, she saw Cripps hurrying away from his throne with Diluc.
Jean, who always remembered the task, immediately called Eula: "Don't think about this yet, Master Clips and Captain Diluc have moved, let's follow quickly." ”
After a few screams, Eula came back to her senses and followed with Jean.
......
The underground cellar of Dawn Winery.
Diluc followed behind Cripps and asked curiously, "Father, what are you doing here?" ”
He was just talking and laughing with a couple of merchants from Liyue when he was called over by Cripps.
No matter how much he asked, his father was silent, telling him to follow behind.
Walking to the deepest part of the winery, Diluc, who was pondering Clips's thoughts, suddenly saw a black-clad masked man standing there.
As soon as he saw their father and son, the man in black smiled strangely.
"Master Cripps was on time."
Cripps's expression didn't change, but he took out a box, pointed to the glove inside, and said, "How did you know about this thing?" ”
"Father, what is this?"
Looking at the evil crimson glass bead on the glove, Diluc asked with a frown.
He had never seen this thing in his father's hand.
The most important thing is that this thing makes him feel very uncomfortable.
"Let me tell you, it's your father who got an evil eye from the Fatui of Solstice."
"Young Captain, do you know about your beloved father's collaboration with the Fatui?"
"Hehe, it's funny that a person whose lifelong goal is to join the Knights of Favonius actually secretly cooperates with the Fatui."
The man in black carried a Zephyr sword and laughed wildly as he walked forward.
Listening to his words, Cripps's face became more and more gloomy, but he never said anything to refute.
"Nonsense."
Diluc took out his Zephyr greatsword from the Eye of the God, and the blade pointed directly at the man in black, and the surging fire element was ready to strike.
As Mondstadt's premier talent, he has plenty of confidence in his own prowess.
At this moment, Clips's voice came.
"Diluc, I'll trap him for a while, don't hesitate, kill him directly."
"You trapped him?"
Diluc looked at Clips in bewilderment.
Unlike Diluc, a genius who can obtain the Vision at the age of ten.
Cripps is not recognized by the gods, and his physical fitness is mediocre, and he is completely an ordinary person.
Diluc really couldn't think of what method he used to trap the man in black.
While the two were talking, a flash of lightning flashed on the man in black, and instantly turned into a bolt of lightning and killed Cripps.
Diluc didn't hesitate to step forward with his sword in hand, blocking the blow in front of Cripps.
Keng——
The cacophony of metallic hum reverberates through the closed cellar.
After a failed blow, the Man in Black flashed an angle and tried to bypass Diluc to continue his attack on Cripps.
Diluc naturally couldn't let him get his wish, and kept changing angles to deal with him.
Under his constant swinging of the sword, the barrels that affected his movements were shattered, and the red wine spilled on the ground like no money.
"Zephyr Swordsmanship!"
Diluc's gaze froze.
But at the moment, he couldn't help but think about it.
The man in black uses the power of the thunder element, and his speed is amazing.
At first, Diluc was able to fight him for a few moves, but slowly Diluc found that he couldn't keep up with his movements.
In a hurry, Diluc could no longer care about the overload reaction of the fire and thunder element, and directly enchanted the blazing fire element on the greatsword.
Seeing this situation, on the contrary, the man in black actually restrained his thunder element and simply relied on his sword skills to fight against Diluc.
Out of scruples about the power of the fire element, his offensive was not as fierce as between, and for a while, the two were tied again.
As he was fighting, the man in black, who had already figured out Diluc, suddenly laughed.
"Boom—"
"Boy, you're not good yet."
I saw that he suddenly exerted his strength, turned into six lightning bolts, and attacked Klips behind Diluc from different angles.
With this sudden and swift blow, Diluc only had time to split two lightning bolts.
Seeing that he hadn't hit the man in black, he turned around in panic and yelled.
"Father, get out of the way."
Whoa—
He was answered by the sound of chains.
At this moment, Clips, who was supposed to be an ordinary person, burst out with amazing power.
I saw the red glass ball on his glove burst into a dazzling red light.
In this light, a magic circle burning with black flames took shape in Klips's left hand, and then several chains with an evil aura formed out of thin air from the position of the magic circle.
And the man in black who gave Diluc a headache.
He was already bound in mid-air by these chains.
"This power, ...... the end" Diluc stood in place as he looked at his father, who was suddenly in a state of flux.
It's not an elemental force.
It's a powerful force that I've never seen before, full of filth and ominous.
"Diluc—"
While Diluc was stunned, Cripps shuddered and shouted, "Kill him, quick!" ”
The man in black was extremely strong, and even if he tried his best, he was about to be unable to suppress it.
