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

"So, what should we do now?"

Youya was a little at a loss. She had never experienced such a thing. The country she lived in in her previous life was the safest country in the world, and even fights could become a hot topic.

Judging from the current situation, the knight seems to have died heroically...

Even though she had already mastered magical powers, she couldn't help but feel scared when the danger of the other world first appeared before her.

"Don't be afraid. I will protect you. After you enter the door, Youya, go to the library first. There is that strange book there, and there are knights guarding it. It should be safe."

While keeping an eye out for any possible attack, Eula pushed open the door to the Knights' compound and covered her sister's way inside while she remained on guard at the door.

Not wanting to stay and hold her sister back, Youya drove her wheelchair towards the library.

At first she did not notice certain subtle sounds, like the fluttering of an insect's wings.

But, afterwards——

It was also a strange, drowsy scent.

The strength in her body subsided a lot, and before she reached the door of the library, her sleepiness reached its peak. It was at this time that she caught a glimpse of a purple firefly that was quietly resting on the potted plant. It was much larger than an ordinary flying insect.

The two eyes that seemed to be hidden under the mouth just stared at her, and then the next moment they shot up and flew in front of her, when Youya subconsciously protected her face.

An even more fragrant aroma came over, and the lightning firefly in front of him flashed and turned into a hooded woman wearing a strange mask. Her laughter was like wind chimes.

"Finally I found you, sweetheart."

She picked up the girl by the waist, and Eula, who was on guard at the door, naturally heard the voice. She stepped forward and shouted angrily: "Put down my sister!"

"Alas, alas, although you are very beautiful, the Phantom Thief only steals the most precious jewels."

She waved her hands, and several fireflies flew out from under her sleeves, blocking Eula with lightning. However, they were cut down by Eula's sword the next moment after they were blocked.

But just this moment of pause gave the Thunder Firefly Warlock enough time to cast the spell and take Youya away in an instant.

Only a streak of cold frosty light passed through the air and hit the statue in the hall heavily, leaving a large mark of the slash covered with ice.

The knight who heard the noise in the library also pushed the door open and walked out. He was already panicking, especially after seeing Eula holding his colleague's sword and the tragic situation at the scene.

He couldn't help but tremble, and he shouted: "What did you do to Porto-senpai and Al?! Attacking the Knights is a serious crime!"

His voice attracted many civilian knights who stayed at the headquarters of the Knights Templar, and Eula's expression became completely heavy.

Chapter 95: A sharp turn for the worse

Fortunately, although the scene was in chaos and many elite knights followed the grand commander and left, the civilian knights who stayed behind were not all good-for-nothings. Some of them keenly noticed that something was wrong.

She was none other than Nymph, the sergeant of the 8th Squad. She pushed aside her noisy colleagues and quickly came down, smelling the scent of the pollen of the mist grass that was clearly different from the surroundings.

And the most obvious one was the empty wheelchair. It was the exclusive wheelchair of a little girl named Youya. The captain had told her that she was a future seed member of the eighth team, so he asked her to pay more attention to it and help answer any questions she had.

Although she had some doubts about the other party's family, from the information she had collected and her observations over the past few days, the child was not bad and could even be said to be exceptionally well-behaved.

So Nymph also had a good impression of him, and the various factors combined at the moment made her feel that it was not as her empty-headed colleagues said.

Eula Lawrence attacked the Knights in order to occupy this place and restore Lawrence to his former dominant position.

Even if the Grand Commander and his men were out suppressing bandits at this time, that did not mean that Lawrence was capable of taking over Mondstadt. Moreover, what reason did Eula Lawrence have to do so?

Therefore, it would be too arbitrary to unilaterally identify Eula as an attacker simply because she was holding the Knights' weapons.

Moreover, if he wanted to restore the truth, he would not avoid her.

Nymph frowned and immediately asked, "Miss Eula, can you please give us an explanation?"

"I did not attack any members of the Knights. The real murderer was the Fatui. My sister was also kidnapped."

Eula took a deep breath and ignored the groundless attacks. She knew that she was a thorn in the eyes of many people in the Knights.

This was the case everywhere in Mondstadt, but if she just rushed out without saying a word, it would only increase the misunderstanding about her and she would be stopped by the Knights.

If she wants to save her sister, she must use the power of the Knights and do it with icy rationality.

"What are you talking about?!"

Among them, there was a middle-aged man who was surrounded in the center of the crowd. He was dressed in fancy clothes and had a stern face. He immediately questioned.

"Can I regard this as the descendants of the old noble Lawrence intentionally provoking conflicts between the Knights of Favonius and the Winter Envoys in order to cover up their own crimes?"

"Inspector Ilok, I don't think Miss Eula is lying."

Although Nymph was displeased at being interrupted, she still tried to be tolerant and reminded him.

"Please look, there are still remains of lightning fireflies on the ground, and I can also smell the scent of virtual mist pollen. I have studied this kind of thing before, and it is the favorite food of flying fireflies."

"so what?"

Chief Inspector Ilok asked back in an impatient tone.

"We are now talking about a damned Lawrence criminal who dared to attack members of the Knights in broad daylight and even broke into the Knights' headquarters to show off his military power, not some stupid firefly ecology research!"

"…But this is consistent with Miss Eula's testimony. Among the Fatui currently stationed in Mondstadt, there is indeed a woman who can control lightning fireflies."

Nymph insisted.

"Tsk!" Inspector General Ilok glared at her, as if annoyed by the constant rebuttals, and then said coldly: "Then tell me, why did they come to attack the headquarters of the Knights? Just to kidnap the descendant of another sinner?"

"Inspector Ilok, please be careful with your words. Grand Master Falga once taught us that we should not doubt an innocent Mond citizen who has been persecuted without reason... Prime Minister..."

Nymph immediately stopped his inappropriate remarks. This kind of open discrimination has always been disliked by the current Grand Master Falga. Even the Inspector General should not underestimate the will of the Grand Master.

This made Ilok silent for a moment, with a trace of disgust and vigilance flashing in his eyes. Finally, he changed his words and said, "Well, Officer Nymph. Since you said so, it is up to you to provide evidence that she is not guilty. But if you can't find it, I will formally submit a letter of complaint to Farga and ask him to investigate whether you are overly protective of Lawrence and trying to form a clique for personal gain."

"——Please do as you please, Chief Inspector Ilok."

Nymph watched him leave with another group of people, then turned to look at Eula, whose face was gloomy and her fists were clenched.

She softened her tone a little, "I'm sorry. The Grand Master is not here right now, and the Knights are not so... united. But please rest assured, I don't think you are lying."

"…It's okay, let's go. If we delay any longer, those people will leave."

It’s not that Eula isn’t angry, it’s just that her anger is hidden very deep, and it will burst out at the right moment.

And now, the most urgent task is to rescue Youya.

With the elemental vision and perception brought by the Eye of God, she could sense the traces of lightning elements left on the ground.

All the way to the outer city, with Nymph following closely behind.

……

Diluk stood outside the storehouse of the windmill with his arms folded, while Kaeya knelt on one knee, leaned over and gently picked up some fine gunpowder powder, and said in a deep voice: "We found the things, but... I'm afraid we were deliberately led away."

They looked at Jean and Amber who were evacuating the crowd, and the patrol knights who had come to take over the scene.

Dilu lowered his head and said, "Let's go. Leave this to them. Let's go back to the Knights immediately. I have a bad feeling."

They were still a step late. Even with Amber's leadership, they were able to arrive at the scene before the patrol knights, but they did not see any suspicious people.

There was only gunpowder powder clearly displayed at the door, and it was all damp and couldn't be ignited at all.

This situation was obviously different from what they had initially expected, that the treasure-hunting members who remained in Mondstadt wanted to fight to the death.

When the Grand Commander left the city, he handed a list to the knights guarding the gate, asking them to use the information on the list to capture anyone who had suspicious movements to leave the city during the bandit suppression period.

If there really were members of the treasure-hunting group left in the city, they would definitely be furious when they heard the news and would want to pack up their belongings and leave quickly, but they would find that this route was blocked.

It is not impossible to choose to take risks, and they may even want to make the noise as big as possible, so that it will be easier for them to leave the city, instead of holding back like this.

Wanting to cause trouble but not to break up, and having an excuse to take action -

He thought of the group of Fatui he had met a while ago, especially the leader, the Winter Merchant, who had shown a strange attitude towards the wheelchair pushed by Captain An...

In other words, their real target is actually - Youya!

Diluk suddenly came to his senses, and then ran away with Kaeya, their destination being the Goethe Hotel.

And at the same time——

Yegor put down the bottle in his hand, reeking of alcohol, and stared at the girl in Ekaterina's arms with obsession.

"...Oh, my lovely adopted daughter, we finally meet again--"

Chapter 96: Pursuit

Following the elemental traces left by the Firefly Warlock, Eula chased all the way to the outer city area, which is the Wind Slime Trading Company.

A "posthouse" that specializes in renting out horse-drawn carriages and cargo flying slimes.

There was a groom feeding the horses here. When Nymph saw Eula stop, she walked out from behind her and went straight to the groom. She said familiarly: "Hello. I am Nymph, the lieutenant of the 8th Squadron of the Knights of Favonius. Can I spare a minute of your time to ask you something?"

After hearing the voice, he raised his head and looked at the dashing and pretty female knight right in front of him. The young groom subconsciously put down the hay, straightened his back, and said shyly.

"No, no problem. Please ask!"

"Thank you for your cooperation. Then, have you seen a Fatui woman wearing a mask and a purple hood passing by here?"

The groom thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"Well... that's not the case."

"Then did you see any people with girls who were about the same age as the girl next to me and had similar hair color?"

Nymph was not discouraged and continued to ask.

The groom still shook his head, but this time his movements were stiffer and he looked a little humble.

Eula keenly noticed his hesitation and kept her eyes fixed on him.

"you are lying!"

Her voice seemed to scare the groom, but after coming to his senses and realizing this, he argued back angrily.

"I didn't. If you don't believe me, go ask others and see if they saw it!"

After a long standoff, Nymph gently patted Eula's shoulder and pulled her behind her.

She said to the other party, "I see. I believe you. But this is a serious matter. The Fatui we are pursuing is also the criminal who kidnapped this child's sister. She may be a little offensive at the moment. Please forgive her."

This made the groom feel much more relaxed. He nodded magnanimously and said, "Of course. I won't argue with a child, and I hate that kind of criminal."

"Well, in order not to waste your time, let us ask one last question. Has there been any carriages for hire recently?"

Nymph looked him straight in the eyes. This time, whether it was out of shame or some other reason, he hesitated for a moment before speaking frankly, "Indeed, we have this, and it's an expedited carriage for transporting people, but there are two of them in total."

"Can you tell me more about this?"

"It's like this. The day before yesterday, a very generous man from Zhidong came here and rented two carriages in advance. Both of them will be used today."

As he spoke, he pointed to two empty parking spaces not far away.

"But they came in a hurry and didn't say much. They paid the money and left."

He added one more sentence at the end.

"Not so long ago."

Hearing this, Eula's expression became completely gloomy. Feelings of self-blame and regret lingered in her heart, making it difficult for her to calm down.

Nymph had a similar reaction, but she did not give up. Instead, she thanked the groom.

"...Thank you for your cooperation. The Knights of Favonius will remember your outstanding contribution to this case."

The other party just waved his hands, seeming a little ashamed, or with some other mixed expression.

However, Nymph also had other requests for him and did not worry about it.

And at the same time——

Goethe Hotel.

"Ah? The group of people from the Winter Solstice? They checked out this morning."

At the door of his own hotel, Goethe answered somewhat strangely.

"Then do you know where they went?"

Diluk asked anxiously.

"I don't know about that." Goethe shook his head, clasped his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "But I heard them talking about going back to Winter, so if nothing unexpected happens, they have probably left the city."

"This is really troublesome..."

Kaia was also a little troubled when he saw this.
