"Humph, you clearly made a bet with me, but you died without my permission, preventing me from fulfilling the bet. I will remember this grudge!"

As usual, after settling her grudge, Eula stood in front of the tombstone and began to recount what she had seen and heard during the operation.

She jumped directly from her feelings when fighting the Hillicul thugs to the scenery she saw on the road, and then began to talk about the relationship between the team members. Eula's words were very jumpy, and she said whatever she thought of. There was no coherence between the previous sentence and the next one, but no one would raise any objections.

Eula talked nonstop for two hours beside the tombstone.

Two hours later, Eula drank the last bit of wine in the water bag, wiped her crystal lips stained with wine, and then quietly stroked the tombstone.

After a long time, Eula sighed deeply and left the cemetery without saying a word.

Arriving at the Knights' residence, Eula knocked on the door and walked into Qin's office.

"Eula, what did you gain from this operation?"

Qin looked at Eula who was sitting opposite her. Her frown relaxed a little and there was a hint of relief in her tone.

If there was anything that Jean could be proud of, the decision to recruit Eula into the Knights of Favonius would have to be at the top of the list.

As a noble, although Qin herself was not very willing, she still had to attend various noble banquets when she was a child. Therefore, when Qin attended a noble banquet for the first time at the age of 15, she heard the news about Eula.

It is rumored that there are two geniuses in the new generation of the Lawrence family. They are Tsumugi Lawrence, who was born in the Lawrence branch family, and Eula Lawrence, the child of the current head of the Lawrence family.

Tsumugi Lawrence, who was born in a branch family, did not live in Mondstadt, so Jyn did not know her very well, but Jyn knew Eula very well.

Eula Lawrence has reached a very high level in both aristocratic etiquette and swordsmanship. Jyn once had a sparring match with Eula when they were young. Eula used the West Wind swordsmanship, which was not good at combat, but still managed to tie with Jyn. Moreover, Eula was honest, compassionate, and fair. She had all the advantages of being a knight... The only pity was that she was born into the Lawrence family.

If Eula had not been born into the Lawrence family, she could have become an upright, brave, selfless and respected Knight of Favonius, but her birth made this impossible, and Jean always felt sorry for her for this.

Although the Gunhild family, to which Jyn belongs, is an enemy of the Lawrence family, the Gunhild family was still invited to grand banquets such as Eula's coming-of-age ceremony, and it was Jyn herself who attended Eula's coming-of-age ceremony.

When Qin saw that Eula had completely broken off with the Lawrence family, she immediately realized that the opportunity had come.

At that time, Jyn had become the vice-captain of the Knights of Favonius and could recommend other people to join the Knights of Favonius. Therefore, after seeing Eula running away from the Lawrence family, Jyn immediately went to the Knights' headquarters to prepare to invite Eula to join the Knights of Favonius.

However, when Jean had prepared everything and invited Eula to join the Knights, it was already the morning of the third day.

When Qin saw Eula again, she was shocked by the change in Eula. The most accurate word to describe Eula's state at that time was... dull.

She was like a statue, huddled in a corner, thinking quietly with her head down. If it weren't for her chest rising and falling, it would be no exaggeration to say that she was dead. She was simply depressed.

Later, Jean learned that on the day Eula escaped from the Lawrence family, her sister Tsumugi Lawrence went out of the city to chase Eula, but unfortunately encountered a monster and died.

Eula's depression made Qin's preparations completely useless. She was originally prepared to withstand the pressure from inside and outside the Knights Templar, even if it meant offending some people, in order to keep Eula in the Knights Templar.

As a result, after seeing Eula's condition, the people of Mondstadt not only did not oppose Eula joining the Knights Templar, they also thought that Jyn was kind-hearted and was afraid that the depressed Eula would starve to death, so they gave her a position in the Knights Templar.

Although there were still people who opposed Eula joining the Knights, the pressure was much less than Jean expected... but persuading the already depressed Eula to join the Knights took up a lot of Jean's energy.

Finally, after Amber's persuasion, Eula reluctantly agreed to join the Knights of Favonius.

Facts have proved that Jean's judgment of people is very accurate. Even though Eula is a member of the Lawrence family, and even under the influence of the simulation system, Eula in this life does not care about the Knights Templar, but she still completes every task and successfully becomes the captain of the guerrilla squad.

"…This is the summary of this operation. What other tasks do you have for me?"

After overcoming her initial depression, Eula became a workaholic, spending most of the year carrying out missions in Mondstadt's wilderness. It was not because she liked the work, but because she simply did not want to stay in Mondstadt.

"I do have a mission for you, but you don't need to leave Mondstadt." Qin smiled faintly. "This morning, the envoys from Inazuma arrived in Mondstadt. I want you to transfer 5 million Mora from the Knights' warehouse to them. As for the hotel they rented... we don't know either, so you have to ask around on your own. If possible, you can take the envoys to visit Mondstadt in the next few days."

"I understand." Eula nodded and turned to leave. Just as her hand touched the door handle, the sound of Qin came from behind her again.

"Also, those people from Inazuma don't know the history of Mondstadt, so... you can try to make friends with them."

Hearing this, Eula gave a reply after a long silence: "You are just the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius, and you actually want to interfere in my personal relationships? Humph, I will remember this grudge!"

After saying that, Eula left Qin's office without looking back.

PS: I read it five times but couldn’t find where the sensitive word was. I searched word by word for half an hour before I found it... It turned out to be in the title, so I added a "之" between the two words.

Chapter 11 Eula's Depression (Part )

That night, Eula sat alone in a corner of the Cat's Tail Tavern, quietly sipping wine.

Her fair cheeks were flushed by the wine, and Eula's eyes were blurry, obviously she was half drunk.

Looking at the transparent dandelion wine in the glass, Eula couldn't help but fall into memories...

When she was a child, Eula's father didn't let her go out. In order to kill her free time, Eula began to read novels.

Eula was fascinated by the fair, selfless, kind and righteous knight in the novel, and from then on she made up her mind to become a righteous knight.

Therefore, facing the extremely strict aristocratic etiquette taught by her father, Eula gritted her teeth and endured it, in the hope that she could become the elegant and powerful knight described in the novel.

After several years of aristocratic etiquette training, it was finally time for Eula to learn swordsmanship.

Lawrence's father hired a retired Knight of Favonius to teach Eula. He used to be the captain of the reconnaissance team in the Knights Templar, but chose to retire due to his age. Under his guidance, Eula mastered many skills of survival in the wild and her swordsmanship level also improved greatly.

But Eula's father would never have imagined that in addition to teaching Eula swordsmanship, the old knight also passed on to Eula the knight's belief in eliminating bullying and fairness. Under the old knight's teachings, Eula became more and more yearning for the Knights of Favonius.

When Eula was 8 years old, perhaps because her growing strength gave her confidence, she finally told her father about her ideal.

"I want to join the Knights of Favonius and protect the civilians and freedom of Mondstadt!"

After hearing this, Eula's father became furious as expected. He expelled the old knight and then gave Eula a good lesson.

Eula was very grateful for the old knight's teachings, so she was very angry when she saw her father expel the old knight. In this way, a rift appeared in the relationship between father and daughter.

If I hadn't heard about her at that time, I would probably have broken up with my father by then, Eula thought to herself.

At that time, Eula, who was angry with her father, heard that a genius no less than herself was born in the Lawrence branch - Tsumugi Lawrence.

Although Eula disdained the noble honors that her father often talked about, she was essentially a very proud person. When she heard that someone's talent could match hers, her first reaction was disbelief.

What a joke! In order to survive her father’s devilish training, Eula had to endure so much hardship and sweat so much that it was hard to imagine. How could she be outdone like that?

So Eula began to inquire about Tsumugi. She heard that she was not only proficient in aristocratic etiquette, but also good at swordsmanship. Moreover, unlike Eula who was planning to join the Knights of Favonius, Tsumugi was very obedient and smart. Everyone who met Tsumugi admired her very much. As time went by, Tsumugi, who was born in a branch family, was already showing a trend of surpassing Eula in popularity.

After Eula's father found out about this, he began to train Eula desperately, at least fourteen hours a day. Basically, apart from eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, Eula almost never had any private time of her own. But even so, Eula gritted her teeth and persevered.

As mentioned before, Eula is a proud person. Although she hates the Lawrence family in her heart, to be honest, she still feels a little proud every time she is called "the genius girl of the Lawrence family." But when she realizes that her status is somewhat shaken, Eula can no longer sit still.

Of course, Eula, who advocates chivalry, would not give Tsumugi any trouble, but instead stepped up her own training, intending to regain her reputation as a genius from the front!

...This thought lasted for a year. A year later, Eula saw Tsumugi for the first time at a banquet. The moment she saw Tsumugi for the first time, a huge feeling of loss surged into Eula's heart.

All along, Eula had not had a good relationship with the Lawrence family. Eula, who advocated chivalry, always looked down on these extremely virtual nobles and often said some unpleasant words. However, everyone in the Lawrence family understood this. After all, Eula was the child of the head of the family and a genius. Coupled with the youthful vigor unique to children, it was normal for her to have some arrogance in her heart. It would be abnormal if she had no talent at all.

But as the saying goes, comparison is not scary, whoever loses will be embarrassed.

If Eula was the only genius in the Lawrence family, the Lawrence people might still think that Eula was young and ignorant. But if there was another obedient, sensible and well-behaved genius in the family, Eula's performance would only be evaluated negatively, such as "immature", "impulsive", "disobedient", etc.

If Eula gives people the feeling of a bone-chilling cold wind, with both her words and actions giving people a sense of aggression, then Tsumugi is like the spring breeze in April, with her words and actions giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

Lost, and completely defeated.

The first time she saw Tsumugi, Eula knew that she would never be able to compare to her. Eula would never be able to show the kind of soft and warm smile from the heart when facing the Lawrence people.

With just this one glance, Eula deeply realized the gap between herself and Tsumugi.

"Hello, Master Eula. Tsumugi Lawrence sends you his warmest regards."

When she was slightly distracted, Youla realized that her nominal cousin had appeared in front of her.

Say hello to her and become friends with her!

Seeing Tsumugi's gentle and warm smile, Yura suddenly had such an impulse in her mind.

But Eula has always been a person who doesn't mean what she says, so in response to Tsumugi's greeting, Eula just looked at her silently, and then left without saying a word.

After that, Eula devoted all her energy to swordsmanship training and no longer wasted time practicing aristocratic etiquette.

In the days that followed, although Youla and Tsumugi never met again, Youla had been trying to find out about Tsumugi from various channels. After hearing that Tsumugi's parents had passed away, she suggested to her father that he bring Tsumugi home to live.

Eula's original intention was to take this opportunity to improve her relationship with Tsumugi, but as a tsundere, how could Eula directly show her kindness? As a result, the relationship between Eula and Tsumugi not only did not improve, but became more distant.

Over time, Eula became disappointed with herself and began to have thoughts of giving up on herself. So, at her coming-of-age ceremony, Eula decided to tell everyone what was in her heart at this most critical moment in her life.

"I've decided...I want to join the Knights of Favonius!"

……

The memories ended here. Eula drank the remaining wine in the glass, handed Mora to the bartender and prepared to leave. Next, she wanted to go back to the dormitory and have a good sleep to eliminate her physical fatigue.

"Hahahahaha!"

Just as Eula was about to leave the Cat's Tail Tavern, a burst of laughter caught her attention.

They were a group of Knights of Favonius, currently sitting around a table at the entrance of the tavern. I don't know what they were talking about, but I guess they burst into laughter.

Seeing this scene, Eula frowned.

It is not yet time for the garrison knights to change shifts. In other words, these Knights of Favonius have skipped work and come to the tavern to enjoy themselves.

Eula reminded them in the name of her seniors that it was working hours, so she walked towards them. As she got closer, she also heard what they were talking about.

"Hahaha, Kaili, you actually dared to sneak back to Mondstadt. I remember that you should be in charge of patrolling the Wind Rising Land this week. Is it really okay for you to appear in a tavern in Mondstadt so openly? Be careful that Captain Jean will find out and expel you from the Knights."

"Yes, I remember someone died a few years ago because of your negligence." Another square-faced Knight of Favonius frowned, obviously looking down on the man called Kaili. "It's okay for the patrolmen in Mondstadt to be lazy. After all, the law and order in Mondstadt is good. Even if no one is patrolling, nothing will happen. But if the patrols in the wild are negligent, there may be escaped monsters that attack civilians."

"Don't worry, don't worry. Nothing will happen." The knight called Kaili was already drunk with a red face. "A few years ago...hiccups, the person who died a few years ago was from the Lawrence family. Just based on this, Captain Jean can give me a certificate of Mondstadt hero."

“Hahahahaha…” Kaili’s words made the surrounding group of Favonius Knights laugh out loud, and even the square-faced knight did not refute.

"Whatever, let's keep drinking!"

Kaili raised his glass and was about to drink it, but he felt a chill on his back. The temperature around him suddenly dropped by several degrees, making him shiver. He turned around subconsciously and saw a beautiful girl in knight's clothes standing behind him.

The girl behind him had a cold face, her face as frosty as ice, and her eyes stared at Kaili fiercely as if they could burst into flames, emitting bursts of coldness.

Before Kairi could figure out how he had offended the other party, he saw the other party raise his slender thigh and kick Kairi in the abdomen. The powerful force made Kairi's body fly backwards and then fell heavily to the ground. Before Kairi could recover from the severe pain, he felt like he was being lifted up like an eagle catching a chick.

"Do you have the guts to say what you just said again?"

The girl's voice was icy cold... No, to be precise, while the girl was speaking, the temperature around her suddenly dropped by dozens of degrees, reaching a level that made people feel icy cold.

"What do you want to do, you guy?!"

Seeing that the newcomer had ill intentions, several of the surrounding Favonius Knights took out their weapons and surrounded Eula.

"Humph!"

Eula snorted coldly, and the ice elements around her body exploded instantly. Ice mist gushed out in all directions. In just a few seconds, all objects within a few meters of Eula were condensed into a thin layer of frost, and the Knights of Favonius were frozen in place with their weapons drawn.

After dealing with the small fry, Eula looked at the culprit who was lifted into the air by her and said coldly: "Do you have the guts to say what you just said again?"

Chapter 12: Nine Rules of Carnivorousness

"Hello, may I ask, what happened here?"

On the night that Tsumugi Kujo finished the simulation system, she was shopping in the shopping street in Mondstadt with Shinobu Kuki when she suddenly saw a group of Knights of Favonius running hurriedly in one direction, so she stopped a passerby and asked.

The passerby looked up and down at Tsumugi Kujo's clothes and responded, "Is this lady from another country? It's not a big deal. It's just that someone seems to be causing trouble at the Cat Ears Tavern. You know that drunkards can do anything when they are drunk."

Hearing this, Kujo Tsumugi nodded, agreeing with the passerby's statement.

It is best not to touch alcohol, especially if you are not a good drinker. Tsumugi Kujo is very aware of his alcohol tolerance, so he usually drinks sake with a very low alcohol content. Mondstadt's dandelion wine is already considered "strong liquor" for Tsumugi Kujo.

"Sister Shinobu, please go back to the hotel first. I have some things to do."

"What is it?" Jiu Qi Ren asked in a puzzled tone, "Are you going to do something shameful again?"

"What do you mean by shameful things? I just want to meet my future partners in advance." In response to the obvious distrust shown by Hisagi Shinobu, Kujo Tsumugi retorted.

"I remember that when you were leading the hunting team to hunt the Fatui in the wild in Inazuma, you would sometimes call the captured Thunder Warlocks, Ice Warlocks or Hidden Mirror Ladies into the tent, and then... well." Before Jiuqi Shinobu could finish her words, a petite hand covered her mouth.

"Stop talking. At worst I can take you with me. Don't go on." At this time, Kujo Tsumugi's face was full of blush, even spreading to the ears.

There is no other way. The sorcerers and mirror ladies in the game are all more awesome than each other. Now that she has traveled to the continent of Teyvat, how could Kujo Tsumugi not try them?

Although Tsumugi Kujo has a petite figure, she has a carnivorous heart!

"Well, since you're so tactful, I can't seem to remember what happened in the tent." Kuki Shinobu shrugged.

"Who told you these things, Thomas? Or someone else among the hunters?" Kujo Tsumugi whispered softly in Hisahi Shinobu's ear. Although she was very careful when she did those things, the hunter soldiers were not there to do nothing. It might be okay once or twice, but after too many times, they would inevitably reveal their flaws.

Tsumugi Kujo never thought that she could keep it a secret from everyone as long as the hunters didn't tell anyone about it. But she didn't expect that those guys would actually tell Shinobu Kuki about it!
