"Very good. The rest of you should spread out and wait outside Lawrence according to the siege tactics. If anything unusual happens, use the bone whistle to imitate the triplet of the Tuan Que."

Patting the young man on the shoulder, Mr. An also gave orders to others.

"Finally, try not to take the initiative unless it is necessary. Stay rational and patient. If you encounter an emergency, remember to contact us in time. Remember--"

"We are a flock of birds scouting the sky, not a lone wolf running on the ground!"

Everyone answered in unison, then performed a knight's salute and quickly dispersed.

As the leader and commander, Mr. An laughed helplessly, then ran swiftly through the woods, and quickly discovered that this group of people seemed to be heading in a certain direction with intent.

Afterwards, there seemed to be only a few more calls of night birds in the night, and no other changes.

The people in the settlement also did not notice that the sounds of birds around them seemed to have increased, and they just thought they were startled by the fire and human voices.

They split into two groups and went in the direction where Eula left, searching everywhere with torches in their hands.

At the front, Eula was still holding Youya and running quickly between the trees, trying her best to avoid Youya, who was wearing a too-long skirt, from rubbing against bushes and the like, leaving unnecessary clues.

But the woodland was not like the paved roads in the settlement, nor was it like the wooden floors in the classroom. She had also decided on the plan in a hurry, and she was still wearing pointe shoes for dance class practice.

The soles of her shoes were worn out and almost broken, which only affected her speed. After kicking off her pointe shoes and running in the opposite direction of their escape, Eula started running again.

Her tenacious spirit allowed her to ignore the constant stinging pain in the soles of her feet. As long as she wanted to protect the sister in her arms, she would not be afraid even if she was faced with swords.

However, I don’t know when it started, but I could gradually hear the sound of the waves...

It seemed as if an illusion of waves appeared in front of her eyes. Thinking that she had escaped and successfully left the family with Youya, Eula relaxed her guard a little.

She ran as fast as she could towards the direction where the sound came from, but she didn't notice that she was gradually deviating from the planned route.

It was not until Youya patted her face with great effort and kept calling her name that Eula came to her senses again.

Unexpectedly, an old knight appeared in front of her with his back to the moonlight.

Chapter 41: What we seek always appears unexpectedly

"...People from the Knights!"

Youla's face suddenly darkened, her eyes revealing strong vigilance and hostility. While protecting Youya, she slowly retreated.

After noticing her sudden change in expression, Youya also thought of the relationship between the Knights and the Lawrence family. It was not to say that they were enemies, but it was a situation where they would fight to the death.

The grudges accumulated over generations are probably not something that is so easy to overcome.

And since the person in front of them is a genuine knight of the Knights Templar and he specially led them here, he must have something to say.

(…So the Lawrence family’s daily plot to rebel has angered the people in the city, so they plan to send out the Knights to suppress them?!)

Youya was so frightened that her body was shaking as various ancient classic scenes kept popping up in her mind.

Will I be strangled to death, or drowned in the well? Or just hang on a crooked tree?!

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, the old knight supported his waist and spoke in a sighing tone.

"——Oh my, it's so sore. I'm really getting old. Chasing after you two little girls almost broke my old bones."

"What do you want to do? Why did the Knights appear in Lawrence's territory again? Are you planning to encircle and annihilate them?"

Eula finally couldn't help but ask questions one after another, and at the same time, she bent down and picked up a stick on the ground and placed it across her face.

"Hey, don't be anxious. Little girl, there's no need to be so nervous. Be careful not to hurt yourself and your sister. Relax--"

The old knight was not angry. Instead, he showed a kind smile on his face and raised his hands to indicate that he had no intention of harming the two men.

"I will tell you all these questions, old man, but please answer some of my questions as well when the time comes, how about that?"

"..."

Eula could feel that the old man in front of her was very dangerous. Even though she had obtained the Eye of God, she didn't have much strength left after the previous series of sprints.

If facing this kind of experienced old knight, it would be impossible for him to easily deal with this obstacle like he did with the servants in the castle before.

At most, she could hurt him... If this made him angry and he turned to attack Youya, she would have no way to deal with it.

In the end, Eula could only nod with a straight face. At this time, Youya also quietly poked her head out and looked at the old knight. His eyes were different from those of the adults she had seen in the tribe before.

He is neither tainted by the filth of power and money, nor does he look down on others with arrogance. Instead, he is just like an old man next door that can be seen everywhere.

But it is this easy-going temperament that makes people feel that he is a little unfathomable...

Youya's cute little face suddenly deflated, making the old man's smile even deeper for some reason.

"Haha. Old man, let me introduce myself first - I am the captain of the Scout Knight Squadron. I was born in Liyue and currently live in Mondstadt. My last name is An, you can call me Old Man An, or Captain An."

He also took out his captain's badge and showed it to Eula, then continued.

"As for why I'm here, that's a long story..."

"Then please finish your speech briefly."

"...Haha, you are such an impatient little girl." Old Master An was not displeased by the interruption. Instead, he continued to smile: "So, to put it simply, when we were about to go home, we found that your house seemed to be quite noisy. For safety reasons, we came here to take a look. We have no ill intentions."

His expression was sincere, without any sign of guilt or embarrassment. Instead, it was as if he was on his way home from buying a drink and saw two cats fighting on the street, then he watched curiously.

"Are you satisfied with this explanation?" asked Mr. An.

"..." Youla hesitated for a moment, but after looking at Youya, she looked at him again and said, "If that's the case, then why did you bring the two of us here?"

"That's what I want to ask you." Grandpa An narrowed his eyes slightly, rubbed the bone whistle in his hand, and said calmly: "When I came here, I found that although they all held torches, no one was holding a weapon. Their expressions were excited, but they were not determined to die. They were just searching for something along the way."

"Who are they looking for?"

These words immediately made Eula extremely alert, and the wooden stick in her hand was covered with a layer of frost, emitting a clear light under the moonlight.

This surprised the old knight, but did not shock him. Instead, he stared at her with even more interest.

After a long stalemate, Eula finally spoke.

"They're chasing me."

"why?"

"I, I stole something very important from the clan."

"For example, this Eye of God?"

The old knight pointed at Youya's slender exposed calves.

On the white and tender ankle with purple meridians intertwined, an anklet appeared at some point, and in the center of the ring was inlaid a wind-attributed divine eye, emitting a faint green light.

If you put it to your ear, you can hear the whisper of the breeze.

"…Is this, Yuya's Eye of God?"

It was not until then that Eula realized that the previous feeling as if she was being carried by the breeze was not an illusion. She was probably able to run so far beyond common sense and shake off the family's pursuers with the help of Youya without knowing it.

The girl also bent down slightly before she could see the Eye of God that demonstrated its presence.

Since she had no feeling in her legs, she didn't know when it appeared, but she was very happy!

I am finally no longer a burden and at least I can help Sister Eula!

"Hmm, it seems you just found out about this as well - in other words, you lied, little girl?"

The old knight's words immediately made the two surprised people feel as if they were poured with cold water, especially Eula, who quickly pursed the smile on her lips and turned to face the other party with the wooden stick tightly grasped.

With the help of her like-minded sister, she was confident that she could defeat the other party.

"So what? Who would tell everything to their enemy?"

"That's right, I advise you to take care of yourself, old man. Otherwise, you won't be able to withstand these two punches from me!"

Youya also showed some toughness which was rare for her. She waved her little pink fists and looked very vigorous.

"Alright, alright. Don't look at me so rudely. My old bones can't stand the torture from you two God's Eye holders."

This made Mr. An wave his hands, feeling somewhat amused and helpless.

"However, thanks to this, I think my doubts have been answered—"

"what?"

Before Eula could react, the old knight picked up the bone whistle, puffed up his cheeks and blew it. Along with the cry of an eagle, the whole forest was instantly filled with the sound of thousands of birds responding.

When the two girls were frightened by his sudden action, there was a rustling sound in the seemingly empty jungle around them, and one figure after another fell from the trees, wearing the light armor of the reconnaissance knights.

Almost everyone carried a bow, most had resolute expressions, while the others were a little curious.

But not surprisingly, they were gradually surrounding Eula and Yuya.

The old knight also put away the bone whistle, smiled again, and said, "So, how about we sit down and talk calmly?"

This made Eula look extremely ugly, and Youya hugged Eula tightly like a little coward.

"Um, um, grandpa. Is it too late to betray Lawrence now? I, I can lead the way. I know who has the worst intentions and can point him out. As long as you let Sister Eula go afterwards..."

Chapter 42: A Temporary End

“Hahahaha! Little girl, you really are worthy of being the holder of the wind-attributed God’s Eye. Your ability to ‘follow the wind’ is quite good.”

Her pitiful appearance immediately made Mr. An laugh out loud, and most of the knights who gathered around her also tried to hold back their laughter.

Youya blushed and muttered softly, "How can this be called changing one's position according to the situation...it's just that he who knows the current situation is a hero."

Because of her words, Youla smiled helplessly and also chose to throw away the stick in her hand, indicating that she had no intention of fighting.

"We have chosen to leave Lawrence. If we can use intelligence to buy our safety, I don't mind going back again, but please only kill the main culprit."

This reduced the hostility of the reconnaissance knights towards them to the lowest level.

Although a few elderly people were still on guard, it had to be said that the atmosphere was at least much better than before, as if they were ready to take action at any time.

Although they were all veterans, no one wanted to start a war with the holder of the Eye of God without permission unless it was necessary, even if they were still children.

Especially one of them has the God's Eye with wind attribute.

For Mond, or the seven countries of Teyvat, it is a great honor to possess the Eye of God with attributes corresponding to their country's ruling power.

In the eyes of most people, the Eye of God symbolizes the affirmation of God. For the people of a country, being recognized by the gods of their own country is undoubtedly a very exciting thing.

This is both a gift from a miracle and proof that one's own desire has been granted by God.

Moreover, in a semi-military and semi-religious group like the Knights of Favonius, a wind-attributed Eye of God represents so many things.

Even though Youya was born in the Lawrence clan, she must have been recognized by the God of Wind as she was able to obtain the Eye of the God of Wind.

After the God of Wind himself removed this natural shackle of sinners, they naturally had no more reasons to feel resentful.

In fact, if Youya wasn't a child of the Lawrence family, I wouldn't have known her very well at this time.

I'm afraid everyone has already gathered around to celebrate.

After all, to be honest... there are people in Mondstadt who possess the Eye of God, but the Eye of God with wind attribute is extremely rare.

It was as if the wind god had forgotten his kingdom of protection in his sleep.

If this Eye of God came from the Gunhild family, then his future career would surely be properly arranged.

It doesn’t matter if you are a civilian. As long as you are determined to join the Knights Templar, the lowest you can become is the captain of a knight squad.

In addition, there are many other benefits brought by the Wind-attributed Eye of God, but Youya cannot access them yet.

"Well, now that we have figured out the situation, let's pack up and prepare to leave."

Old Master An once again returned to his appearance as the kind and peaceful old man next door.

"I think the Grand Master will be shocked by our harvest."

"Come to think of it, there's Ike. He ran to get help—"

His deputy quickly reminded.

"Wait, call for help?" Eula immediately extracted the key words and stared at Grandpa An.

"Hmm?" He pretended to be confused and said innocently, "Hey, didn't I tell you, old man, we are just here to take a look, we really don't have any bad intentions. With our limited manpower, we can't take over Lawrenceburg, right?"

"Damn it! You actually cheated us. I'll remember this!"

Eula was so angry that her teeth started to itch.

However, Mr. An just smiled peacefully and reminded, "Okay, okay. Just remember it. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. I will wait for you to come."

"But..." He walked closer and looked at the girl who was curled up in Eula's arms. She seemed to be overtired and had fallen into a light sleep. He lowered his voice to the lowest level: "Now, let your sister have a good rest. It seems that she just got the Eye of God not long ago and doesn't know how to control it. She exhausted herself."
