Mondstadt.

It was already dark.

After a busy day, the people of Mondstadt leave work on time, and then gather in groups and threes to the taverns in the city, order a glass of dandelion wine for those who have money, a glass of light ale wine for those who don't have money, and set two plates of appetizers on the table, and start the nightlife with the singing of the bard.

Among them, especially the [Angel's Gift] opened by Dawn Winery, after the recent arrival of a bard named Wendy, the already booming business [Angel's Gift] is even more overcrowded.

Fortunately.

Wendy only comes to sing once in a while, not every day.

Otherwise, Six-Fingered José, who was originally resident here, would have to go to other taverns to earn a living.

Tonight.

Sitting at the bar was Diluc Legunfender, the eldest young master of Dawn Winery.

Since retiring from the Knights of Favonius, this personable noble son has spent most of his time in the [Angel's Gift] in addition to helping Lord Cripps with the family business.

And the former chief clerk, Master Kaeya, occasionally came to help out and do a job as a bartender, or he would make a cameo appearance as a bartender and talk and laugh with the guests who came to drink.

Compared to the taciturn Diluc, Kaeya, who has a cheerful and humorous personality, is obviously more popular with drinkers.

And the topic that the drinkers talked about most with Kaeya was why he and Diluc quit the Knights of Favonius in the first place.

You must know that Diluc is known as the cavalry captain who is most likely to be awarded the title of 'Knight of the Dawn'.

Kaeya also became the Grand Refuge of the Knights of Favonius at a young age, holding a key position, and now that she has gained the Vision, she is a genius among the younger generation of Mondstadt.

It was just these two geniuses who chose to quit the Knights of Favonius when Mondstadt was plagued by the dragon plague.

And it was announced in a very high-profile manner.

It's really puzzling.

Some say they were disloyal to Mondstadt, some say the Knights of Favonius must have done something to be sorry for them, and others say it was Lord Cripps' secret instructions.

In short, there are all kinds of rumors, and there are all kinds of versions.

Diluc was silent when confronted with this issue, and Kaeya diverted the topic with rhetoric and avoided it.

Today, [Angel's Gift] has two more guests who have not been here for a long time.

The two are also people that both Diluc and Kaeya are very familiar with.

Troy Schneitzwich and Eula Lawrence.

"Eula Lawrence!?"

"Hasn't she turned her back on Mondstadt?"

"How dare a traitor return to Mondstadt? What about the Knight of Favonius? Get her out of here!! ”

Eula's appearance caused an uproar in the tavern.

If Eula had been in Mondstadt in the past, it was only because of the Lawrence family that she was troubled in every way.

But now.

The traitor's hat was fastened on her head, and the dislike of the people of Mondstadt for her was at its peak.

Listening to the noisy shouts in the tavern, Kaeya's face, who was still chatting and laughing with the drinkers just now, changed instantly, and Diluc, who was bartending, didn't care about the wine glass in his hand, and stared at Lin Feng nervously.

However, before they could speak to stop it, Lin Feng had already moved.

He didn't care who opened his mouth, he just drank lightly: "Shut up!" ”

His voice was not loud.

But under the flow of the wind element, this sound sounded in the ears of the drinkers like a thunderbolt, and these drinkers who were originally scolding happily suddenly covered their ears in pain and bent down, unable to scold a word anymore.

After drinking and scolding these drinkers, Lin Feng said lightly again: "Get out!" ”

Hear the word.

Where did the drinkers dare to say anything, they all ran out with their heads in their hands.

The [Angel's Gift], which was originally full, was empty in the blink of an eye.

"The guests are here, don't you want to entertain them?"

In the quiet tavern, Lin Feng's voice continued to echo.

Diluc's eyelids jumped, and he was about to speak, when Kaeya took the lead.

I saw that he changed his previous face, and said to Lin Feng and Eula with a smile: "It turns out that Mr. Troy and Miss Eula are here, come, sit, what do you want to drink, just say, I have a treat today." ”

"Fire water, dandelion wine."

Lin Feng was not polite, and after ordering the drink, he sat down at the bar with Eula.

Diluc was still staring at him in a daze, not moving.

It was Kaeya who poked him in stealthily with his elbow before he reacted and hurried to pour the wine.

After serving two full glasses of spirits, Diluc glanced at Eula with a somewhat complicated expression.

Under his and Kaeya's gaze.

Lin Feng picked up the wine glass and drank all the fire water inside, spit out a mouthful of wine, and then said, "Come again." ”

Eula was not as bold as him, taking small sips of the spirits of his hometown, and there seemed to be some nostalgia in his eyes.

That's it.

Neither of them spoke.

One drank the spirits one by one, and the other silently missed the taste of home.

Diluc and Kaeya were confused by this move, and they looked at each other, a little confused as to what the two of them were going to do.

But fortunately, it didn't take long.

They knew what Lin Feng was going to do.

He's waiting for someone.

Waiting for a Diluc and Kaeya is even more familiar.

Nun of the Church of Zephyr, Rosaria.

She is also the Nightcrawler of Mondstadt, responsible for cleaning up the night of threats to Mondstadt.

"Big sister, long time no see."

Lin Feng stood up and said hello.

Eula then stood up and called 'big sister'.

"Well, long time no see, a glass of dandelion wine."

The latter sentence is addressed to Diluc.

Rosalia didn't wear a nun's dress today, but a casual dress, and naturally sat next to Lin Feng.

"You two."

At this sound of 'big sister', Diluc and Kaeya were stunned on the spot.

What do you mean?

Isn't Troy Schneitzvich the Solstice? How do you know Rosalia so well?

Judging by the names of the two of them, their relationship seems to be very unusual.

"Everyone is here."

"Then allow me to introduce myself again."

Lin Feng took a sip of wine, looked at Diluc and said, "I have a name in Mondstadt, my name is Albert Sebastian, the former Nightcrawler of the Church of Favonius. ”

“.”

There was silence.

Diluc was stunned, and Kaeya, who had always prided himself on being nimble, was also stunned, and he didn't know what to say.

Albert Sebastian.

Diluc was well aware of the name.

No.

It should be said that he knows the name.

The unrivaled genius of Mondstadt's shadows has done countless things to keep Mondstadt safe in the night.

No one had ever seen the appearance of this genius boy, only that he was extremely powerful and intellectual, and that he was the adopted son of the late Cardinal Coulson Sebastian.

He was also Diluc's idol.

The former Nightcrawler is the driving force behind Diluc's quest to become the Knight of the Dawn title, and the main reason why Diluc is now the Night Hero.

But now.

Lin Feng told him that a High Inspector of Solstice, a villain who had set off plans against Mondstadt several times, was actually the Night Kin who had disappeared for many years and was rumored to have died at the hands of the Solstice?

"Special, Mr. Troy, you're joking."

Kaeya swallowed heavily and spoke in a difficult tone.

It's not just Diluc, he's a little overwhelmed right now.

"He didn't joke with you."

Rosaria, who was sitting on the sidelines, testified for Lin Feng: "Albert is the best child of my teacher, there is no one, he has dedicated ten years to Mondstadt since he was eight years old. ”

"But he now?"

"Hmph."

Faced with Kaeya's question, Rosaria snorted coldly: "My teacher, died at the hands of Archbishop Simon. ”

Another shocking news.

Diluc and Kaeya were completely speechless.

Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, Simon Page, Archbishop of the Church of Favonius, and Coulson Sebastian, Archpriest of the Dark Division of Mondstadt.

These three are the pillars of Mondstadt.

A warrior of great force, a diplomat and interior officer who devises all kinds of strategies, and an invulnerable intelligence master of the classified intelligence network.

How could it be that Coulson was killed by Bishop Simon?

If these words came out of Lin Feng's mouth, Diluc and Kaeya might not believe it.

But it came from the mouth of Rosaria, and the truth suddenly became reliable.

Diluc, who was already extremely dissatisfied with the Knights of Favonius, had his lips twitching, not knowing what to say.

Mondstadt.

How many secrets did he not know?

Rosalia said so.

Diluc and Kaeya also understand why the former hero of Mondstadt, Lin Feng, betrayed Mondstadt.

If any of Mondstadt had killed Clips, they would have betrayed Mondstadt.

"There is something else I want to tell you."

Lin Feng said in a flat tone: "The attack and layout against the Dawn Winery were also done by me, including the rebellion of the Lawrence family, the assassination of Clips, the Mondstadt disaster, and the death of Simon Page, all of which I did. ”

When he said this.

Lin Feng seemed to be talking about some sparse and ordinary things, without a trace of emotional fluctuations.

This loud confession of all the evil deeds struck Diluc and Kaeya like lightning strikes in their hearts again, and they both had round eyes and expressions that were surprisingly unanimous.

"Why?"

Diluc muttered, "Just because Bishop Simon killed your father?" But, but, you also killed Bishop Simon, why do you do such a thing to Mondstadt and to our family? ”

"Isn't that enough?"

Lin Feng glanced at Diluc and said in a cold tone, "Okay, I'll go kill Clipps Legunfender now, let me see what you do." ”

As soon as this remark came out.

Diluc's heart was like falling into an ice cellar, and he was stunned for a long time, unable to say a word.

Seeing this, Kaeya hurriedly came to the round and said, "Mr. Tealbert, don't get excited, don't get excited, Diluc is just a quick mouth, don't take his words seriously." ”

"Hmph."

Lin Feng snorted coldly and continued: "Diluc Legunfender, Kaeya Alberridge I came to you today, not to talk to you about this nonsense, listen, I have some things to do with you now." ”

“！？”

Diluc and Kaeya froze.

What is he responsible for such a natural order? Just because he would threaten Mondstadt?

However, Kaeya still sighed and said, "Mr. Albert, you said that if we can do it, we will definitely help you." ”

"The Lawrence family, it's time to clean it up."

Lin Feng didn't have the slightest scruple to see Eula sitting here, and said this sentence in a grand manner.

"The Lawrence family?"

Diluc frowned slightly, glancing at Eula, who was silently holding the wine glass.

It stands to reason.

Isn't this Albert the son-in-law of the Lawrence family?

What do you do to clean up the Lawrence family?

Lin Feng over there didn't care what happened to Diluc and Kaeya, and began to talk to himself: "I know that you two brothers have not been idle since they quit the Knights, one can be a night hero everywhere, and the other is collecting information everywhere to wipe the ass of the night hero. ”

"You two are right now."

"There are some people in the Lawrence family who are sticking to the old system and are unwilling to accept the kindness of the Knights of Favonius, which makes me very disappointed in them."

"Night Hero, do me a little favor."

"Get rid of this group."

"It's okay to put it in prison, it's okay to kill them, anyway, I'm going to make the Lawrence family obey the Knights of Favonius."

"Got it?"

Lin Feng's words are not ruthless.

In these words alone, it is not known how many people have to pay for their lives and their freedom.

However, this was not a decision made by Lin Feng on his own.

It was a decision made after Eula returned from the Lawrence family, and Lin Feng consulted her opinion.

In other words.

The matter was decided by the two of them together.

"The elders of the family have been brainwashed too deeply."

"They are convinced that Lawrence will have a brilliant day again."

"They even think of me as the seed of the rise, because I am with you, and with a son-in-law like you, who is in a high position and powerful in the winter, the people of Mondstadt are vulnerable."

"There are some of the younger generations who are open-minded and believe that the Lawrence family is finished, and that it is better to follow the Knights of Favonius and try to reintegrate into Mondstadt."

"But those stubborn old men don't agree to it."

"They don't approve of the idea of trying to work as young people as I am, and they continue to brainwash the children of the clan into hatred of Mondstadt while eating the Knights of Favonius' subsidy."

"You ask if they're from the Knights of Favonius?"

"No, they're not, they're old people who have been thoroughly brainwashed, firmly believing that the Lawrence family should be nobles and should rule Mondstadt, even if Mondstadt is already beginning to unleash goodwill."

"Well, yes, like my uncle Schubert Lawrence."

"They. There is no cure. ”

"But those of my age and children, they are still saved, and these old and pedantic bastards should not be allowed to jeopardize their future."

This was what Eula said to Lin Feng after coming out of the Lawrence family at that time.

Lin Feng listened.

Only one sentence was said: "Then there is no need for them to stay in this world." ”

"Well, that's what I thought too."

Eula couldn't bear it, but she still nodded in agreement.
