Genshin Impact, I, a weak person, am challenging myself to find a solution that will bring me lifelo

He raised his head and looked at the head maid standing beside him, and said, "Adeline, how is the young man who was assigned to work under Turner?"

Adeline, who was being questioned, looked very young and pretty. Her maid outfit was neat and tidy, and her hands were folded in front of her belly, giving her a sense of elegance and propriety.

"According to Mr. Turner, he is very honest and has done everything he was told to do. However... the same group of people who joined the company with him have many complaints about his past reputation."

When talking about this, the head maid glanced at Youya and Eula casually, and did not continue speaking, but waited for Master Cripps' instructions.

"It's all right, Adeline. This matter has something to do with the two young ladies. Please continue."

"Okay. Aside from the bad reputation, I actually have a new maid under my command. Alfie once told me privately that before the fire in Lawrenceburg, she saw her sneakily leaving the castle and heading to the outskirts."

She reported the rumors she had heard from the maids expressionlessly, picking out the ones she thought were credible and reporting them one by one.

However, Eula, who had seemed nonchalant, stood up at this moment and looked at the head maid.

"That person's name is Azir, right?"

Her sudden action scared Youya and she almost spilled her tea. Fortunately, everyone's attention was more on Sister Youla.

And she also had some impression of this name. It seemed that he was the servant who stopped them when they took out Lawrenceburg before?

“…That’s right, Miss Eula.”

Adeline maintained her elegant posture and replied in a gentle voice.

Almost as soon as the words fell, Eula looked at Krips who was sitting in the main seat and said, "If that's the case, then I can tell you. Alfie is right. It was Azir who stayed in Lawrenceburg and colluded with the treasure-stealing group that led to the subsequent fire."

Cripps couldn't help but frown when he heard the news.

Although he had anticipated this, he did not expect the result to be more serious than he thought. He nodded slightly to Adeline, signaling her to bring Azir up.

Then he looked at the Lawrence sisters again, feeling a little complicated.

Youya also asked cautiously at this time.

"...Sister Eula?"

She could see that Sister Eula was very angry, even a little anxious, but why?

Even though that guy was definitely annoying, they hadn't seen each other since that incident at the castle.

But Sister Eula is so sure that Azir is the murderer, which means that she actually went back to Lawrenceburg and got some specific information from there.

However, judging from her personality, the main reason why Sister Eula was angry was definitely not the burning of Lawrenceburg. After all, judging from the results, what Azir did also solved a hidden danger for them.

Although Sister Eula might be unhappy about someone else getting revenge first, she wouldn't react like this... In other words, there is something else involving her that makes Sister Eula so anxious?

“…Sorry, I lost my composure just now.” Eula took a deep breath and sat down. Facing the comforting looks from her sister and Krips, she continued, “After I completed the family trial, I planned to go back to the family and retrieve Yuya and my things.

I didn't expect that Lawrenceburg was already burning at that time, and according to the clan leader...Wes, it was Azir's betrayal that caused the fire."

Eula can still recall the blazing fire that night, and Weiss who rushed into it madly and fell from a great height.

She sighed, stared at her reflection in the tea, and said in a deep voice.

"I know very well that the cause of this disaster is not that simple. But more importantly, he and the treasure-stealing group took away some things that should not be touched.

That thing is related to the stability of my sister and I's future life, so I hope Master Kiplis will allow me to ask him some questions later. "

"Of course, Miss Eula."

Klips agreed, and there was nothing wrong with it for him. To use Liyue's words, it was just a way to establish a good relationship, or to do a favor.

Being able to run such a large winery business is not just about knowing how to make wine. He also has considerable influence in certain channels. If he wants to maintain such a dominant position, he naturally needs to build more connections.

Youya's little head was turning rapidly, quickly connecting some things that she had not noticed before, and then she came up with her answer.

During this period, the head maid Adeline, who had left, also returned.

Behind her followed a familiar figure. He was thinner than the last time he saw him, and his face was covered with many stripes of scars from whipping, and one of his eyes was even blind.

Only the other eye was left, which looked cloudy and alert, but gave people a lifeless feeling.

There was a very flattering smile on his face, but when he saw Eula, Yuya, and Cripps who was also sitting next to him and looking at him with scrutiny.

Azir's legs went weak and he fell to his knees.

"...Master Cripps, spare me, spare my life!"

"It seems you already know why I asked Adeline to notify you to come over."

At this moment, Cripps's expression changed from the kind one he had when chatting with the girls before, to a calm expression that showed no emotion.

"I know, I know! Please listen to my explanation..."

"Don't explain to me, tell them--"

Krips had no intention of watching him continue the performance, but simply gave the right to speak to Eula.

Azir also looked at her tremblingly, especially when he found the Eye of God hanging on his waist. He was so scared that he lowered his eyes, fearing that he would anger Eula, and kept begging for mercy: "Miss, spare me! I really didn't set the fire in Lawrenceburg..."

"Shut up. That's not what I want to ask you—"

Eula interrupted him and tapped the ground with her toes. A frost spread out and the sudden drop in temperature made Azir shiver even more.

"How did you convince the treasure-stealing group to cooperate with you? Just because you made up some unconfirmed news about the Lawrence family making a fortune, would they dare to join forces with you?"

The more successful treasure-hunting groups are very xenophobic and usually only recruit people from their hometown. Azir must have some deeper connection with them, or greater interests to convince them.

Chapter 85 The truth of that night

Facing Eula's questioning, Rat-Eyes, or One-Eyed Azir, hurriedly waved his hands to explain.

“I didn’t convince them, they came to me on their own initiative! At that time, my whip wounds had not healed yet, and I was almost driven out of Lawrenceburg… It was my fellow villagers who saved me.

They treated me very well, invited me to drink, invited me to eat meat, and helped me heal my wounds... So I told them that Chief Weiss had a big deal contract, and if it could be done, it would allow everyone to earn enough money to live without worries for most of their lives..."

Rat-Eye Azir seemed to be a little overwhelmed for some reason, and he held his head while speaking.

“At that time, I just wanted them to pry open the vaults of Chief Weiss and Lord Schubert, take away Mora and the contract, and help me get revenge.

If the head maid hadn’t insisted on meddling in other people’s business, they would have taken the money and left, and there wouldn’t have been a fire afterwards…”

As he spoke, he burst into tears.

"I just don't want to be looked down upon. I never thought that I would really do it from the beginning... They were the ones who urged me to solve the problem and prove that I would not betray them, but after I finished the job, they kicked me away and put all the responsibility on me..."

Rat-Eyes Azir's words made Eula's face darken to the lowest point.

When she didn't see head maid Sarah outside Lawrence Castle, she felt a little uneasy. She just wanted to go back as soon as possible to confirm Yuya's safety, and didn't ask carefully. She didn't expect it to be because of this reason...

Seeing that Lawrence's two sisters fell silent, Coplis asked helpfully: "So, you are just the one being used, and you don't actually know where they went?"

"That's right! I was also knocked unconscious at that time. When I woke up, the fire was out of control. I could only run away in a hurry."

Azir replied timidly.

"But I know about the contract! At that time, we were discovered by the head maid, and during the quarrel, we were also noticed by Chief Weiss, who let him escape.

We only had time to find one of the transaction contracts, but did not find the one passed on to Miss Youya... If I'm not mistaken, it should be carried by Chief Weiss.

But... now that Chief Weiss has unfortunately passed away, I don’t know where the contract has gone.”

After saying this, he quickly lowered his head and began to tremble again.

As a listener, Master Cripps' face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes when he looked at Youya were more complicated.

"Adoption...contracts, and deals...Has Weiss fallen to the point of relying on such despicable means to maintain the Lawrence family?"

There was not only anger in his chest, but also pity for the child's ill-fated fate.

Even not long ago, I felt ashamed for envying such a child.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this heavy fate that she is able to gain the attention of God at such a young age.

Yuya also noticed his gaze and answered after a little thought:

"...I don't know the details. No one ever tells me about family matters. But Patriarch Weiss told me that devoting oneself to the family is the duty of every Lawrence descendant.

When she said this, she showed a slightly sad yet strong smile.

"From this perspective, I, who chose to escape from the family with Sister Eula, was probably also evading my obligations."

These words naturally touched Eula's heart, and she quickly retorted: "That is not Youya's duty! Born and abandoned by irresponsible parents, and growing up in such an environment of bullying, she just happened to be adopted out like a commodity with a price tag just for the tribesmen who never cared about her..."

“Oh, don’t look so sad!” Yuya quickly held Eula’s hand and said soothingly: “I just overdrawn too much luck just to meet Sister Eula! And after going through all these misfortunes, I am sure that I am very happy now, there is absolutely no doubt about that.”

Being teased by her sister, Eula's expression improved a little, and she said helplessly as if jokingly.

"Youya...you always use these words to comfort me. Be careful or I will really depend on you for the rest of my life."

"No problem, no problem. Youya can send letters to support your sister in the future~"

The girl seemed to have found a good job prospect and was very happy. She started chatting with a smile.

Master Cripps, who was listening on the side, had a smile on his face, but he was feeling bitter in his heart.

Is this really something a child should be thinking about?

Klips couldn't imagine what kind of optimism the girl in front of him had to say such words.

But every word and every sentence touched the depths of his soul.

He even doubted for a moment whether he had committed such an arrogant crime when dealing with Diluk and Kaeya.

Using dedication to the family as an omnipotent reason, they are forced to fight for dreams that do not belong to them.

The only thing to be thankful for is that, perhaps during the training at the Leggenfinder household, he was quite strict with Diluk, but other than that, Diluk's childhood could basically be described as leisurely.

Even Kaia, who is always out of tune, may have been able to maintain that way of life because of his indulgence and pampering.

Although it was hard to believe, Koplis had to admit that the two girls had taught him a good lesson.

He waved his hand and told the head maid to take Azir away first. Then he looked at the Lawrence sisters who had finished their conversation and were looking at him again, and asked in a gentle voice.

"So, Ms. Yuya, Ms. Eula. What are your plans next?"

"We will go back to Mondstadt directly. Regarding the contract..." Eula hesitated for a moment. When she saw her sister's unreserved trust in her eyes, she finally chose to speak frankly: "I plan to go back to Lawrenceburg again. Although there is a high probability that Weiss and I will be buried in the sea of ​​fire in the contract, I still want to confirm it in person."

"Ah, speaking of which, there's something I want to get too!"

When mentioning this, Youya also said.

"The book that Sister Eula gave me, and another book, were all placed on my wheelchair. I wonder if they have been burned..."

The girl's expression also became a little depressed when it was mentioned.

"It doesn't matter. If it really burns, I will buy another one for Youya."

Eula rubbed her head and saw her sister squinting her eyes in enjoyment, and her feeling of pity for her continued to grow.

And Kiplis also said: "It's a reasonable approach. However, if you are not in a hurry, please wait until this matter is settled before going to Lawrenceburg.

If the treasure-stealing group did not get the other contract, they would definitely send people to investigate the surrounding area. If they were discovered, it would probably be detrimental to Miss Youya.

I will help the Knights confirm the locations of the remaining hideouts as soon as possible. Once this group of treasure thieves is captured, I will personally bring Azir to Mondstadt for trial and make him receive the punishment he deserves. Then you two can search with peace of mind."

"Then there's Uncle Lokpris!"

"Excuse me."

The girls thanked him together, but Cripps just waved his hand and didn't take any credit.

Afterwards, Krips wanted to invite them to stay for dinner, but Eula declined on the grounds that the Knights had a set time to return. Yuya also took the opportunity to suggest that she just bring a broom as a token of her gratitude.

After successfully stealing a broom from the Dawn Winery and secretly leaving the paper crane that she had used to talk to Diluk as a thank you gift, Youya hummed a tune happily, snapped her fingers, called for her new mount, and left the Dawn Winery with Eula.

This trip will allow her to solve several problems at once.

I am so happy!

Chapter 86: The Noble Bird and the Confused Wolf Boy

Lei Ze lives in the Wolf Territory, and few Mondstadt residents can discover his whereabouts.

Even the few witnesses could not be sure whether what they saw was an abandoned baby raised by wolves or a wolf spirit transformed into a human form.

His five senses were sharp and his body was agile. The way he ran through the forest on all fours looked more like a wolf chasing prey than a human.

Although outsiders have various speculations about his identity, some even call him the mysterious "wolf boy".

But none of this could affect Lei Ze, who was standing on the hill, looking up and basking in the warm sunshine.

The name was a gift given to him by a tall human stranger.
