Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Sword of Dawn
Kaeya spread out his hands in front of his chest and fell to his waist, and the giant icicle sprinted towards the ruins guards under Kaeya's control.
Even though the ruin guards were spinning at a high speed at the moment, these ice picks hit the core of the ruin guards with precision as if they had eyes.
The movement of the struck ruins guard also followed.
It was this one that made more and more ice picks continue to hit.
As the ice pick continued to output, it melted, and the flames on the Guard's surface began to subside, and the Guardian's movements became more and more sluggish until its speed could no longer sustain its rotation.
The red glow on the core faded, and the massive machine let out an unwilling cry before finally coming to a complete halt and slumping to the ground.
"Wow! It turns out that Kaeya is so powerful! β
Paimon, who had been hiding behind Sasuke until now, saw that the ruins guard was paralyzed, and finally dared to get out of his body, and then delivered a sycophant.
"It's not over yet, it's just a temporary halt to action now."
Kaeya stepped forward and walked over to the machine.
Raising the sword, the frost covered the blade of the sword he was holding, and the saber flashed with a cold light, stabbing precisely at the position of the core.
With a crisp sound, the core of the guard ruins was reduced to pieces and scattered all over the ground.
"If you encounter a ruin guard in the future, remember to destroy its core after paralyzing it, otherwise it will be back to action in a short time."
Kaeya drew his saber and reminded Sasuke.
"What a terrible machine, so big and so difficult."
Paimon has a kinship.
"Yes, I don't know how many adventurers are planted on these machines in various ruins every year, so adventurers are a high-risk profession, otherwise why does the Adventurers Association recruit people all year round?"
Kaeya patted the dust off her hands, then looked at the Treasure Hoarders who had snuck up to get up and try to slip away.
"Hey, you don't think I can't clean you up after I can clean up such a large ruin guard, do you? Don't forget, I just saved your life. β
"Stand up obediently, don't force me to continue to be rough."
The Izzard hurriedly stopped, and stood still not daring to act rashly.
"Whew...... It's a shame, I didn't expect to be saved by the Knights, it's a shame! β
"It's better to lose face than to lose your life."
As soon as Kaeya stretched out his hand, a bundle of twine appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Apparently the Knights also had something like a folding bag in their hands, and Kaeya came prepared.
"Don't forget what you just promised, when you return to the Knights of Favonius, be honest and lenient, otherwise what you just did will definitely not be the most terrifying thing you have ever seen."
Izzard's momentum weakened.
"This ...... Aren't you knights the most humanitarian? Is this how the suspect is treated? β
"You also said you were a suspect, didn't you?"
"And if I make you no longer human, won't you be able to do without humanitarianism?"
Kaeya's words sent all the Treasure Hoarders breathless.
"Haha, just kidding, alright, let's go back to Mondstadt first."
Although his tone at this time was flat and smiling, the Treasure Hoarders who had seen Kaeya's methods just now obviously did not think it was just a joke.
The man in front of him, named Kaeya, really did it!
After tying the hands of the Treasure Hoarders one by one, Kaeya stood at the front and Sasuke behind him, escorting them out of the ruins and back to the Knights' headquarters in Mondstadt.
After arriving at the Knights' headquarters, Kaeya took care of all the Treasure Hoarders members according to the formalities, and then walked out of the Knights with Sasuke, looking at the sky outside the headquarters, he stretched.
"Ah, it's finally over, thank you for your help."
"You're welcome."
Sasuke replied.
At this point, Paimon, who was not very smart, finally came back to her senses, and she floated in front of Kaeya, pointed to Kaeya's nose and said:
"Ahh Kaeya, you've been lying to us from the beginning, haven't you? β
"You deliberately told us the news of Excalibur, and then asked me to go with Sasuke to spread the news, just so that these people who lured out the Treasure Hoarders, there is no treasure at all!"
Kaeya was a little surprisedβit was all over, why did Paimon only remember to talk about this now?
"Didn't Sasuke already say it in the ruins just now? It's bait. β
"Woooooooooo......oo It was too chaotic just now, there were too many people, and all kinds of things happened too suddenly, I ...... I'm overloaded with my brain......"
"No matter! You're a liar! He's a bad guy who likes to lie! is the scum of the Knights. β
Paimon's loud shouting made everyone passing by look sideways.
Sensing that she might usher in a social death, Kaeya hurriedly spoke:
"Stop! Stop...... Alright, alright. β
"I see, the two of you have helped me so much, although the treasure is fake, but my thank you gift must be real."
Kaeya pulled out a silvery-white saber and handed it to Sasuke.
"This sword is called [Dawn Excalibur that Cuts the Dawn and Leads to Victory], and as its name suggests, it is a sword that symbolizes light and victory......"
Before he could finish his sentence, Paimon interrupted.
"You read the name of the sword again."
Kaeya: ......
Paimon looked at Sasuke, shook his head, and said:
"Look, I knew he couldn't read it again, the name must have been made up, this person really didn't have a word of truth."
Kaeya smiled awkwardly.
"Haha, don't care about those details, but this sword was indeed passed on to me by my grandfather, if I don't dislike it, this [Dawn Sword] that I have treasured for a long time will be used as a thank you gift for the two of you."
"And you see, isn't the name Dawn Excalibur a perfect match for the reasonable Paimon?"
"The sword is given to the hero, and it is my honor to have a friend like you who is gentle and considerate."
Then Kaeya continued in a low and solemn tone:
"I'm sorry about this incident, but rest assured, Paimon, I won't use the same trick on my companion twice."
Paimon was a little dizzy and pinched to death.
"Hmm...... Well, since you've said so, it's not impossible to thank you for being this Dawn Excalibur......"
Paimon clasped his hands to his chest, tilted his head, and said arrogantly.
"Okay, okay, then let's do it first, I'll say goodbye today, and you're welcome to come to the Knights to find me in the future, let's see you next time."
Kaeya handed the Dawn Sword to Sasuke and quickly dodged away.
And Sasuke, there was also a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
This Kaeya is a very interesting person indeed.
