Well then, I, Tsumugi Kujo, will show you what professionalism is!
Let go of that warehouse and let me do it!
Entering immersive mode...
"What should I do..." The Gun Witch frowned and paced back and forth in front of the warehouse door.
"What else can we do? We have to kidnap some guards and ask them if they know the key to the warehouse. This is the only thing we can do now." Kujo Tsumugi took out the spear on his back and directly pierced the necks of the two unconscious guards.
"You..." Seeing this scene, the Gun Witch was surprised. She didn't expect Tsumugi to be so decisive. She felt as if she had suddenly become a different person.
"Okay, now we don't have to worry about these two guards shouting everywhere after they wake up." Kujo Tsumugi put away his spear.
"Hmm..." The Gun Witch looked at the two bodies on the ground and nodded.
Really, you don't have to worry about this problem.
Tsumugi Kujo and the Witch of the Gun were wandering around Lawrence's mansion. Since there were a lot of garden plants in the mansion, their movements were very smooth. After a while, they found a unique man in the garden behind the house.
The man looked to be in his twenties and had a very young appearance. Unlike the other guards, he was wearing a black suit. Both his walking posture and his dress were in line with the standards of an "aristocrat". It seemed that he was a member of the banquet in the mansion. Perhaps he wanted to come out for some fresh air, so he came to the garden behind the mansion without even bringing his guards with him.
With such a good target right before our eyes, it would be unjust not to kidnap him.
Kujo Tsumugi decisively chose this man as her target. Even if he didn't have the key to the warehouse, she had to at least find out the whereabouts of the key.
Just when Tsumugi Kujo was about to start the kidnapping operation, the Witch of the Gun stopped her.
"Let me do it. You protecting me in secret can be considered as keeping a backup plan."
Of course, this was just an excuse. The Gun Witch was actually afraid that Kujo Tsumugi would kill this nobleman like she did to the guard just now. The reason why the two of them were able to steal successfully in Mondstadt for several years was that they only stole without hurting anyone, and the amount of Mora they stole each time was just a drop in the bucket compared to the nobles' wealth. Therefore, although the two were very famous, the nobles were not particularly obsessed with hunting them down. They would just consider being stolen from once as paying to avoid disaster.
But if Kujo Tsumugi killed the noble in front of her, then the situation would become extremely bad. Those nobles would definitely hunt down the two of them at all costs to protect themselves. The Gun Witch was not afraid of death, but she was afraid that Kujo Tsumugi could not escape this disaster.
"Oh."
However, Kujo Tsumugi didn't think too much about it. She just felt that the Gun Witch's suggestion was not bad. After all, the two of them were now in Lawrence's mansion, so it was always better to be cautious.
So Kujo Tsumugi quietly retreated, leaving all the room for maneuver to the Witch of Gun.
Chapter 97 The Rebellious Twins of the Lawrence Family
As the illegitimate son of the head of the Lawrence family, Erberhart's life has always been unhappy.
Perhaps the lower class people would think that even though he was an illegitimate child, Erberhart was still a noble after all, and his food, clothing, and transportation were much better than those of ordinary people, so what was there to complain about? However, only Erberhart, an illegitimate child, knew how bad his situation was.
The nobility is a group that values blood inheritance. Erberhard has talents beyond his peers, but in the eyes of other nobles, no matter how sophisticated Erberhard's etiquette and swordsmanship are, he is still an inferior illegitimate child.
When facing the common people of Mond, Erberhardt must always maintain the airs of a noble, because in the eyes of the common people, Erberhardt is a "noble". Once he does something that damages his noble status, it will be a disgrace to the Lawrence family. At that time, Erberhardt will face severe punishment from the head of the family.
Therefore, when facing the common people of Mond, Erberhardt could only disguise himself as a noble, sneering at the common people while enduring the sneering of other nobles. Not only could he not integrate into the circle of nobles, he could not live freely like a commoner. This was the life of the illegitimate son Erberhardt.
However, in terms of material life alone, Eberhardt's life was indeed much better than that of other civilians, so he understood why some civilians envied his life.
Today's banquet was hosted by the head of the Lawrence family because he heard that a strange orchestra had appeared in Mondstadt in recent years. They could use instruments that resembled weapons to play more beautiful music than other orchestras.
After hearing the news, the master of the family quickly invited them to Lawrence's mansion, so there was such a banquet. According to the original arrangement, the nobles would have a full communication in the hall before the performance began. When the atmosphere on the scene gradually became heated, the Wandering Earth Orchestra would go on stage to perform, and the nobles could dance to their heart's content in the hall accompanied by beautiful music.
Although Erberhardt was somewhat interested in the orchestra that played music using weapons, he still slipped out before the performance began. The reason was simple. After the ball started, no other noble would be willing to dance with him. Rather than watching others dance awkwardly, Erberhardt felt that staying alone in the garden for a while would make him feel more relaxed.
But... that guy should be having a fake conversation with other nobles right now.
Eberhardt suddenly thought of his half-brother, and a smile appeared on his face.
Although it stands to reason that Erberhardt and his brother should not have a good relationship, the opposite is true. The two have a good relationship.
Eberhard's elder brother is named Parsifal, the eldest son of the Lawrence family. Unlike Eberhard, who was an illegitimate child, he has been valued by the Lawrence family since he was a child. But perhaps because of the law of extremes, Parsifal is significantly different from other nobles. He does not like the cruel and domineering nobles, but has great sympathy for the common people at the bottom. He wants to change the current corrupt situation of the nobles in Mondstadt, but does not know how to do it.
One day a few years ago, Parsifal came to Eberhard's room and accidentally found a novel in his room. After reading it, Parsifal made a decision: I want to become a thief! Leave the punishment of evil and promotion of good to me!
In this way, Parsifal began his career as a chivalrous thief. As he had received strict swordsmanship instruction since childhood, Parsifal's career as a chivalrous thief was quite smooth. However, a few years ago, a chivalrous thief named the Witch of the Gun began to be active. In order to strengthen the security in Mondstadt, Parsifal was assigned more work by his father. He had not engaged in chivalrous activities for a long time, but he really wanted to meet the Witch of the Gun.
As for Parsifal's vow to change the corrupt nobility and then run away to become a thief, Eberhardt sneered at it.
Although Erberhardt, who had been discriminated against by the nobles since childhood, also agreed to change the corrupt nobles, he did not think that the activities of chivalrous thieves would play any role. Erberhardt believed that in order to change other nobles and restore the glory of the nobles in the past, he must first become the head of the Lawrence family. Only after becoming the head of the Lawrence family and mastering Mond's voice and military power can he begin to reform, otherwise the result is doomed to failure.
In Eberhardt's view, the act of being a chivalrous thief like his brother was just an outlet for Parsifal's sense of justice.
Now Erberhardt was waiting.
He was waiting for the head of the Lawrence family to discover that Parsifal was a thief, and then he would persuade him to leave his hometown and leave Mond. Only in this way would his illegitimate son have the possibility of inheriting the qualification of the head of the family.
If I do something like this, maybe in future history books I will be portrayed as a brutal person who attacked my compatriots...
Eberhardt gave a bitter smile, but he had already made up his mind that even if he would be infamous for eternity, he must get the position of the head of the family by any means necessary. Only in this way could Mond have a glimmer of hope.
I guess Lord Barbatos will forgive me after he finds out, right?
Erberhart thought casually.
Feeling that the dance was almost over, Eberhardt stood up from his seating area in the garden and prepared to return to the banquet hall. However, his body immediately became stiff and unable to move, because a spear with a very strange shape was pressed against his back. If he moved even the slightest, the spear behind him would pierce his heart.
Eberhardt didn't know who was standing behind him, but from the shadow he could tell that the person behind him was very slender and looked like a woman.
A woman... wielding a strangely shaped spear... sneaked into a noble's mansion in the middle of the night...
Eberhardt smiled bitterly again, not knowing whether he was lucky or unlucky. However, the most important thing now was to save his own life, so he spoke up, "Miss Gun Witch, right? Please calm down. You and I are not enemies."
"Shut up! Just answer whatever I ask, okay?" Faced with Eberhardt's attempt to get close to her, the Gun Witch said she wasn't buying it at all.
"Where is the key to the Lawrence family warehouse?"
"One copy belongs to the master of the family, one copy belongs to the old butler, and there is another copy belonging to the next master of the family, Parsifal." Eberhart answered honestly.
"Where are those people now?"
"Of course we'll be attending the ball in the banquet hall. But if you trust me, Miss Witch of the Gun, I can call the old butler or Parsifal out."
"Just you? Who are you to be able to call the eldest master and the butler of the Lawrence family?" The Gun Witch sneered and was ready to knock the other party out.
"Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Eberhart, the second son of the Lawrence family. Parsifal is my half-brother."
Chapter 98 The Dusted Ceremony of the Past
Even at the critical moment of life and death, Eberhardt still maintained his calm. The most important thing now was to gain the trust of the Witch of Gun, otherwise he might die in the next second.
"My brother Parsifal is also a chivalrous thief like you. We are both committed to changing the current corrupt situation of Mondstadt's nobles, so we are not enemies, Miss Witch of the Gun."
"You think I will believe your lies?"
Faced with Eberhardt's explanation, the Witch of the Gun did not believe it at all, and even remained highly skeptical of the information Eberhardt had just said. After all, the person in front of her was a cunning and cruel nobleman, and who knew whether he was telling the truth.
"Go to a remote and deserted place right now!" said the Gun Witch vigilantly. Although the garden was also empty, it was too close to the banquet hall and someone might come over at any time. It was too dangerous to stay here.
"I understand." Eberhart nodded and walked deeper into the garden, but at this moment, an accident suddenly happened.
"Master Erberhart!"
"There's an assassin! Master Eberhardt has been held hostage!"
Several guards ran out from the corridor of the banquet hall and happened to see Eberhardt who was kidnapped by the Gun Witch. They shouted and immediately took out their one-handed swords to surround the Gun Witch. The guards' shouting alarmed the other guards in the mansion. For a moment, Lawrence's mansion was like a disturbed beehive, and all the guards were looking for the source of the sound.
The Gun Witch reacted quickly the moment she was discovered and ran away!
According to the previous plan, no matter how far the theft went, as long as they were discovered by Lawrence's soldiers, they would immediately try their best to escape separately, with self-protection as the top priority, and gather at the agreed place after getting rid of the pursuers.
Although the Gun Witch had been surrounded by the enemy at this time, the encirclement was not tight. If the Gun Witch wanted to escape, these soldiers would definitely not be able to catch her.
An inch longer, an inch stronger; this is an unchanging truth since ancient times. Relying on the Ryuyue Needle in her hand and her superb spear skills, the Spear Witch quickly broke through the encirclement. However, after breaking through the encirclement, she did not flee from Lawrence's mansion immediately, but ran towards Kujo Tsumugi.
"silk!"
Seeing the figure fighting with the guards from afar, the Gun Witch became anxious and couldn't help but shout out, and her pace increased.
When the Gun Witch rushed to Kujo Tsumugi, she had just killed the last guard. At this time, there were already seven or eight bodies of guards at Kujo Tsumugi's feet. Seeing that the Gun Witch did not escape as planned, Kujo Tsumugi felt a little angry and a little happy. Although the Lawrence soldiers were still looking for the two people everywhere in the mansion, Kujo Tsumugi did not take them to heart and even had the mood to joke with the Gun Witch.
"Why, do you think I'm a weak and defenseless woman? Otherwise, why don't we compete to see who has better martial arts skills?"
As she spoke, Tsumugi Kujo performed a gun dance, as if she really wanted to fight the Gun Witch.
"Stop making trouble, let's go quickly."
The Witch of the Spear held Tsumugi Kujo's hand.
"I know, hee hee."
Just a few minutes after the Gun Witch and Tsumugi Kujo escaped from their hiding place, the soldiers of the Lawrence family found this place.
"That damn thief!" Seeing the body of his colleague, the leading team leader couldn't help but curse, "She must have left here not long ago, let's split up and look for her!"
"You don't stand a chance."
Along with a female voice coming from above, the next moment, a huge black flame ball with a diameter of three meters instantly engulfed the team. The team leader who was lucky enough to survive rolled and wailed in the burning purple flames.
The captain's screams attracted the rest of Lawrence's soldiers. When they arrived, they saw a girl in a nightgown and a black mask who had been waiting on a tree branch for a long time.
"Everyone is here, right? Then I won't be polite."
The puppet Tsumugi wearing a blood-stained mask jumped down from the tree branch, and the ominous black flames condensed into a spear in her hand that looked like a Ryugetsu needle.
It was a coincidence. Originally, Kujo Tsumugi took out the puppet Tsumugi as a backup, but in the short time when she was changing the puppet Tsumugi's clothes, the Gun Witch was discovered. Fortunately, the Gun Witch wasted some time when breaking through the encirclement, otherwise the existence of the puppet Tsumugi would have been exposed.
What awaited Lawrence's soldiers next was a massacre.
With the help of the evil eye, the puppet Tsumugi completely crushed these ordinary soldiers. As the black flame spear swept across, several soldiers fell down wailing. There were a few people with the God's Eye among the soldiers, but it just made the puppet Tsumugi spend more effort.
Thanks to the puppet Tsumugi attracting the guards' attention, Kujo Tsumugi's escape was incredibly smooth. After more than ten minutes, the two of them had successfully escaped to the hotel. On the puppet Tsumugi's side, the Lawrence soldiers had turned into ashes.
After easily dealing with these soldiers, the puppet Tsumugi swaggered to the door of the warehouse. This time she didn't need the warehouse key. Relying on her excellent physical fitness, the puppet Tsumugi easily broke the door of the warehouse, and the wealth accumulated by the Lawrence family for thousands of years was revealed before her eyes.
"hiss……"
The light emitted by the golden Mora made Tsumugi squint his eyes subconsciously. Exquisite equipment and artworks were neatly placed on the shelves, but Tsumugi's eyes just swept over them without lingering for too long, and walked directly into the warehouse.
The puppet Tsumugi does not have the God's Eye, so naturally she does not have the God's Eye Space, and the items she can take away are very limited. Therefore, Kujo Tsumugi plans to directly take away the most valuable items in the warehouse.
Walking along the warehouse, Tsumugi's eyes swept over the surrounding items, picking and choosing in the warehouse, and finally her eyes fell on a very "strange" set of equipment.
Unlike other equipment, these equipment were placed in the corner of the warehouse, covered with dust and cobwebs. It seemed that no one had cleaned them at all, and they stood out among the clean and tidy equipment.
Tsumugi gently brushed away the dust on the surface of the equipment, revealing its blue and white pattern.
Flower of life, feather of death, sand of time, cup of emptiness, crown of reason...
Although Tsumugi does not have the Eye of God and cannot confirm their identities, based on the information about the relics in the game and the "special treatment" of these relics, if Tsumugi's guess is correct, these relics may be the most precious items in the entire warehouse.
A rare five-star holy relic in the world - a ritual of the royal family in the past.
The Lawrence family was once a glorious and noble family. Among the original three families in Mondstadt, the Imonroka family had long disappeared in the long river of history. The Gunhild family was responsible for guarding Mondstadt and was usually only responsible for the security of Mondstadt. They were relatively low-key, while the Lawrence family was responsible for going out to explore.
Mond used to be a desolate land. Exploring unknown areas required great courage. The people were extremely grateful to the Lawrence family for taking the initiative to undertake the pioneering task. Every time they returned from the exploration, the Lawrence family would host a banquet for the people to share the gains of the trip. Over time, the Lawrence family accumulated a huge amount of reputation and assets in Mond... and also laid the material foundation for their future decline. As time went on, the Lawrence family abandoned their former beliefs and slowly degenerated into what they are today.
These holy relics were the items that Lawrence's ancestors used to carry with them whenever they explored the wilderness. As time went by, they were recognized by the earth veins and became extremely rare five-star holy relics... But I guess the Lawrence family today is reluctant to recall their past glory, as can be seen from the fact that these five-star holy relics are covered with dust.
The Lawrence family was reluctant to look back at history, as that would make them aware of their own depravity, but it would be a waste to simply throw away such a rare five-star holy relic, so they casually dumped it in the warehouse, not even willing to clean the dust off it.
Since the Lawrence family dislikes it so much, it should be okay for me to take it away.
The puppet Tsumugi took a cloth bag from the warehouse and packed up all the royal ceremonies of the past and took them away.
As for the remaining items, in line with the tradition of being a kind person and saying that if I can't get them, you can't get them either, Tsumugi set a fire in the warehouse. The raging flames devoured all the gorgeous and precious equipment and artworks, while Tsumugi left Lawrence's mansion contentedly with his harvest.
At this time, in the banquet hall of Lawrence's mansion, as the puppet Tsumugi was killing people outside, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became tense and unbearable.
When Eberhardt first brought the information about the discovery of the Gun Witch, the head of the Lawrence family cheered loudly and declared that the Gun Witch would be caught tonight to see how capable this Gun Witch, who was committing crimes everywhere in Mondstadt, was.
The nobles in the hall were also very curious about the true appearance of the legendary Witch of the Gun.
No one thought that the Gun Witch could escape from here. What a joke! This was Lawrence's residence, the most heavily guarded place in the entire Mondstadt. Unless the Gun Witch could fly, no one believed she could escape.
However, as time went on, the nobles in the banquet hall gradually began to change their views.
Half an hour had passed since the Witch of Gun was discovered, and not only had she not been captured, but hundreds of soldiers had been killed or injured. The face of the head of the Lawrence family had become as black as charcoal.
When he heard that the Gun Witch broke into the warehouse, set it on fire and left, the head of the Lawrence family finally couldn't help but explode.
"Search hard! Even if you have to dig three feet deep, you must find the Witch of the Spear and kill her!"
Seeing that the head of the Lawrence family was so angry, the nobles who knew how to read people's expressions said goodbye and left one after another. When Eberhardt heard that the Gun Witch's martial arts were so powerful, he couldn't help but have some thoughts in his mind.
If I could become the disciple of the Witch of Gun, wouldn't that be a big helper on the list?
