Chapter 15: Eula's Choice
"The assassin is Inspector General Elok?"
When he heard the news, even Clips, who was still on his sickbed, sat up in shock.
Previously, Kaeya had speculated that it might be someone from the Knights of Favonius.
I didn't expect to be said by him.
"Really?"
"Is it really Inspector Elok?"
Cripps hurriedly asked.
"Hmm."
"The news came from the Grand Master, and there will be no mistake."
"I also found three evil eyes in Iroku's house, which happened to be the three elements of Lei Yanfeng, which completely corresponded to the three elements used by the assassins."
As he said this, Diluc looked at Kaeya and said.
The Assassin's goal was not only to kill Clips, but also to the Evil Eye.
According to Cripps, only the Fatui should know about the Evil Eye, so even if the Assassin was using Zephyr swordsmanship, he was always sure that the Fatui did it.
Unexpectedly, he was said by Kaeya, and it turned out to be a member of the Knights of Favonius.
Even a high-ranking official like Inspector General Elok.
"What about that thing?"
"Did you find it?"
Cripps didn't care who the Assassin was, he only cared if his evil eye was still there.
But Diluc's next words completely disappointed him.
"No, according to Iroku's own confession, after he got the evil eye, he found that the side effects were too great when he used it, so he destroyed it."
"How could he!" Clips gritted his teeth, wishing he could eat Iloch alive right now.
Diluc sighed, "Father, even if that thing is found, the Grand Master can't give it to you." β
Looking at the gaffe Cripps, it was hard for him to imagine that the crazy middle-aged man in front of him was his usually elegant and easy-going father.
Falgar made it clear about the Evil Eye.
The power contained in that thing is amazing, and correspondingly, the side effects are also enormous.
If you have the Vision of God and have undergone elemental power to transform your body, you can still barely ignore this side effect.
But Clips is clearly not that kind of person.
The more he uses the Evil Eye, the more severe the backlash he suffers, and it can even be life-threatening.
Not to mention that the Evil Eye was destroyed now, and even if it wasn't, there was no way Diluc would have agreed to return it to Clips.
Cripps, who was already weak, suddenly felt exhausted after venting, and fell asleep after a while.
Diluc and Kaeya quietly walked out of the room.
After closing the door, Kaeya frowned and said, "This matter still has nothing to do with the Fatui. β
"Hasn't Iloch already pleaded guilty?" Diluc, who didn't have that many thoughts, asked suspiciously.
Kaeya shook her head: "The news of the evil eye is only known to the Fatui, and Iloch also has the evil eye of the Fatui in his hands, so it's hard to say whether the Fatui are behind it." β
"Even if they didn't instigate it, they could have provided Iloch information behind the scenes."
"It's a pity that the Grand Master has characterized this as Eloke's personal act."
"There's no way we're going to use this to trouble the Fatui again."
Diluc's pupils constricted slightly, and Kaeya analyzed it very clearly.
Although there is a discrepancy from the previous judgment, it is very likely that the Fatui provided information and Iloch intervened.
At the thought that Falgar had made this a statement, Diluc angrily slammed the wall.
"Is that all?"
"Of course not."
Kaeya glanced at his brother-in-law and smiled evilly, "You are the captain of the cavalry, I am the chief of the general affairs, and there are many opportunities to deal with the Fatui." β
Hearing this, Diluc narrowed his eyes and nodded thoughtfully.
......
The storm of the assassination ended with Falga's public trial of Irook.
Because of the Ilok incident, the Knights of Favonius ushered in a great purge, and many of Ilook's henchmen were either imprisoned or expelled from the Knights in this purge.
However, life in Mondstadt was not affected by these events, and at most there was one more topic of discussion among the drunkards at the wine table.
Lin Feng is also rarely idle.
Before the Fatui arrived, his daily work was reduced to drinking and sleeping.
It's just that there is one more annoying drinking friend.
Ever since I told that allusive story of the Lawrence family at Dawn Winery.
Instead of disowning the family as he expected, Eula Lawrence pestered him every day to explain what he meant.
He didn't have the slightest scruple about his status as a Winter Envoy.
"You, tell me clearly, what do you mean by that story?"
In the angel's gift, Eula's cheeks were slightly red, and she asked with her tongue open.
She had been fighting with Lin Feng for a few days.
It was because Lin Feng had promised that as long as he could win him by drinking, he would tell the meaning of the story clearly.
However, the amount of wine that Lin Feng had honed in the solstice was not something that Eula could conquer at all.
For a few days, she was carried away drunkenly each time.
As for the person who carried her, of course it was not Lin Feng, but a black-haired girl with a red rabbit ear hair ornament.
Amber.
The granddaughter of the old Scout Knight.
He was also the only person in Mondstadt who could be called close friends with Eula.
Lately, Eula has always been going back drunk, and she is worried about Eula's situation, so she follows her every day.
At this time, she was persuading Eula again: "Eula, don't drink anymore." β
"No, this bastard has to tell me what the hell he means today, Hiccupβ"
Eula burped and waved her hand casually.
Lin Feng took a sip of wine and sneered: "I said it very clearly, you drink it first and I'll say it, you are not an opponent in a fight, and you are not an opponent when you drink, then there is really nothing you can do." β
"Drink, I have to drink you today."
As she spoke, Eula picked up the glass in her hand and was about to pour it into her mouth.
"Eula, you don't drink anymore."
Amber hurriedly took Eula's hand.
But without the Vision of God, where can she compare to the battle-hardened Eula.
Looking at Eula, who had Amber on his arm and could continue drinking, Lin Feng burst out laughing.
"Okay, I'm afraid of you, don't you want to hear it?"
"Then I'll tell you now."
Hearing this, Eula instantly sobered up a little bit, and quickly put down the wine glass and looked at him seriously.
Lin Feng drank the wine in the toast in one gulp without hurry, then stood up and put his face in front of Eula.
Covering his mouth with his hand, and then whispering in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "The Lawrence family wants to work with us to overthrow the Knights of Favonius." β
After saying this, he sat back in his seat, bared a mouthful of big white teeth, and said with a smile: "Lawrence's chick, if you were the one in the story, what would you choose?" β
"No, it can't be."
Eula completely lost her appetite this time, frowning, "They are also from Mondstadt, how could they do such a thing." β
Amber, who hadn't heard anything, looked at Eula, whose eyebrows were tightened, and asked anxiously, "What did you just say, Eula, tell me." β
This kind of unspeakable thing, Eula naturally couldn't tell her.
He just shook his head slightly, and fell into deep thought.
"Chick, do you believe what I say?"
Lin Feng laughed, knocked on the table and said, "Hey, hey, I'm a Solstice." β
"According to you people in Mondstadt, what I say is ill-intentioned, and you dare to believe what I say, hahaha, it's funny."
With that, he got up and left in a dashing manner.
Looking at his back, Eula's tightly wrinkled brows suddenly stretched out and muttered.
"Mondstadt is the Mondstadt of the Mondstadt, not the Mondstadt of Lawrence."
"Free Mondstadt should not go back to the shadow of Lawrence."
Her gaze became more determined, and a bright smile rose into her pretty face: "If there really is such a day, I will definitely turn the Lawrence family back from the wrong path with my own hands." β
"That's what a Knight of Favonius should do."
