Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

"Doctor," he chuckled softly, but a look of disgust flashed in his eyes as he thought of rats.

However, he managed to control his emotions well. After suppressing the look of disgust in his eyes, he looked at Pantalone and explained the reason for everything to him.

"After creating the 'Death Warrior' phenomenon, I unexpectedly discovered that these 'Death Warriors' could be controlled, except that they only obeyed the monster that was the source of their bloodline."

"So I successfully figured out the underlying principle and successfully diluted a drug that could make someone a 'suicide squad' without losing their mind."

“Using a principle similar to the ‘fusion warrior’ modification surgery, I created this inferior version of the drug in a sense. Once this drug is used…”

"Humans infected with dragon blood will gain power as strong as 'death warriors' and become beings similar to 'fusion warriors'. However, these inferior products are not 'fusion warriors' in essence, but are just monsters that are somewhere between humans and non-humans."

"Because the essence of this power is to use the dragon's blood, which is the source of infection, to pollute one's own bloodline, thereby gaining great power and becoming a monster that has tainted inhuman power."

"If we must call this non-human being with the power of a 'death warrior,' we can call it a 'hybrid.' That's what I call those experimental subjects."

"But even so, this dragon blood infection drug can still bring users incredible power. However, the higher the purity of the injected dragon blood infection drug, the easier it is to exceed the critical value and become a 'death warrior'."

“At one of the Fatui outposts and temporary laboratories in Mondstadt, there was recently a theft of ‘Dragonblood Infection Potion,’ and the rat that stole my drug is the man you mentioned named Kripps Legenfind.”

After hearing this, Pantalone finally understood everything the "Doctor" had said, and the confusion in his heart was suddenly cleared up.

In short, Cripps Legenfind may have had some reasons for coming into contact with a Fatui stronghold.

They discovered the results of some experiments and research that the "Doctor" had assigned to his subordinates, and learned that the "Doctor" was conducting human experiments and developing drugs.

So, for some reason, they stole a set of "Dragon's Blood Infection Potion" that could turn people into "hybrids".

And he is currently in hiding, which is why he has not shown himself.

He is currently concealing his presence, waiting for the Knights to discover his existence and provide assistance.

After figuring everything out, Pantalone connected all the clues that he hadn't quite understood before and deduced the whole situation.

However, the fact that these creatures were 'hybrids,' 'assassins,' and 'dragon blood' gave him a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

If there were twins who each wielded power and influence and were constantly thinking about merging with their brother, that would be even more perfect.

However, he had to admit that he remembered there was indeed a pair of twins, and both of them were blond-haired and mute.

Pantalone, with two figures appearing in his mind, fell into deep thought.

So you're not actually planning to create a "god," right?

Your real idea is actually to create a Dragon King, right?

Just as Pantalone was deep in thought about this matter, the words and voice of "the Doctor" forced him to interrupt his thoughts and bring him back to reality.

Seeing the "doctor" in front of him answer so casually.

"But it's nothing serious, just a little troublesome. I'll deal with that rat named Cripps Legenfind myself later. Is there anything else you want to know?"

"I've basically asked you everything I wanted to know. If there's anything else I'd like to ask you, I'll contact you again if needed."

After regaining his composure, Pantalone spoke softly as he pondered the matter.

The "Doctor" didn't say much after that, just shrugged and replied.

"Then let's keep in touch if anything comes up."

"I will if needed."

Pantalone simply smiled slightly after the two had exchanged greetings.

The two then cut off their communication. After the communication ended, Pantalone's eyes flickered slightly. After taking a deep breath, he murmured to himself.

"Now that we've covered most of the details, it's almost time to talk about the girl named Cole."

Chapter 117 The red line of the Knights retreated again and again, until it became a red carpet (5k)

After stabilizing the diplomatic relations between the Fatui and Mondstadt, and assigning Diluc to secretly investigate the events at Dawn Winery.

As Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, Falgar navigates diplomatic relations with the Fatui while simultaneously striving to secure political advantages for Mondstadt and hindering the Fatui.

Just when he thought he could finally take a short rest, the knight in charge of patrolling the Mondstadt border reported something that was incredibly troublesome and gave him a headache.

Recently, individuals have been attacked in the area under the jurisdiction of knights patrolling the Mondstadt border.

According to intelligence personnel, the attackers were engulfed in black flames and possessed the terrifying power to incinerate everything.

Even top-tier possessors of the Eye of God cannot confront it head-on; it is capable of crushing a fully armed squad of knights from the front, and its strength is terrifyingly formidable.

Such formidable strength is not something that ordinary members of the Knights can easily handle. Only the elite of the Knights could possibly resolve the situation and deal with such a troublesome individual.

To date, numerous members of the Knights have suffered casualties in the process of resisting and pursuing the attacker.

This situation made Falgar, who was already exhausted from dealing with the Fools, feel even more troubled and troublesome after learning about it.

For Mondstadt right now, the most important thing is stability.

But before they could reach an agreement with the Fatui, at this critical juncture, a troublesome attacker suddenly appeared, capable of single-handedly defeating a fully armed squad of knights, and forcibly entered Mondstadt.

It's fair to say that what's happening right now is truly a case of one wave subsiding only for another to rise.

This caused his already heavy workload to increase by another level, forcing him to spend a significant amount of time handling these official duties.

Just as he was pondering how to resolve and handle these matters, the Fools, as the Winter Solstice Mission, visited the Knights once again.
