Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

Although it was already past the 9 a.m. work clock, Kaeya rarely left the Knights to hang out. He pushed open the door of the Spark Knights' confinement room, which gave him both a headache and joy.

"Wow, I won't be the last one here."

He pulled up a chair and sat down, observing several colleagues who had arrived earlier than him.

Among those present are Albedo, the captain of the investigation team, Eula, the captain of the guerrilla team, Jean, the acting leader of the Knights, and Lisa, who is qualified to be a captain but chose the more comfortable position of librarian.

In addition to myself as the cavalry captain, three of the ten captains of the Knights of Favonius have come. I am involved in both events of this meeting. It seems that all the people who need to be invited have arrived.

Kaia found that he was indeed the last one to arrive.

Everyone was present. Qin cleared her throat and said, "Albedo, please explain your proposal to everyone again."

"Yes. Most of you here should have noticed the outsider who recently appeared in Mondstadt - Chen."

"dust?"

Eula just returned to Mondstadt yesterday, and she was the only one present who had never seen Chen.

Albedo casually drew a portrait of Wang Chen and handed it to Eula.

"My proposal is to invite him into the Order."

Albedo had already discussed this proposal with Jean yesterday, and today was the day to confirm the result. However, there were undoubtedly too few people at this meeting. Normally, all of the ten captains of the Knights Templar who were free should be summoned.

Kaiya replied: "I asked Chen last night, he just wants to be a knight in name only, not to come to work."

"His idea coincides with Jean's. That's a good idea." Lisa confirmed with Albedo: "Is this what Ms. Alice meant?"

"Yes. Aunt Alice believes that this person has great potential and is worthy of the Knights' initiative to make friends with him."

Albedo joined the Knights Templar on the recommendation of Alice. At first, everyone else thought he got in through the backdoor, but his strength proved that he didn't.

With his superb alchemy skills, Albedo not only made the Knights Templar willingly equip him with a laboratory, but also made him the captain of the Knights Templar's investigation team.

In addition to Albedo, Alice's daughter Klee also joined the Knights. People thought that this time she must have used a backdoor, after all, what could a little girl be capable of? In the end, her strong fighting power surprised them, and people had no objection.

In fact, it wasn't Alice who suggested that Klee join the Knights. It was just a helpless move by Jean to restrain Klee...

Since this person could be recommended by Alice, even if he is a stranger, I have to consider him carefully.

"Then I think there's no problem." In fact, with Wang Chen's current performance, he can only be an ordinary knight at most, but Lisa voted in favor.

Qin asked Kaiya for advice again, "Kaiya, what do you think?"

Kaeya raised an eyebrow at Albedo, threw a Mora into the air, and then held it tightly in his hand.

"If the front door is facing up, I agree. If the back door is facing up, I disagree."

Although people were used to Kaia's eccentricity, those who knew him well knew that he rarely made mistakes in his work, so neither Qin nor Lisa reacted.

Albedo, who was being stared at by Kaeya, continued to sit upright, his expression not changing at all.

Seeing that everyone was like this, Kaiya put Mora back into his pocket with a bored look on his face, "I've checked it, it's the front."

Qin nodded and looked at Eula again.

Noticing Jean's gaze, Eula opened her mouth and said, "I don't know much about this person, so don't worry about my opinion."

In fact, the answer had already been determined, it was just a formality. Jean replied to Albedo: "I accept this proposal, but I will add a test for him, and he must pass it before he can join the Knights."

"it is good."

Albedo had no objection and made this suggestion to the Knights. His mission had been completed and it had nothing to do with him from now on.

"Then this meeting is over. There will be another meeting about the Lawrence family. Albedo, do you want to participate?"

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Since he was called, Albedo naturally wouldn't ask for trouble.

The door to the conference room opened and then closed.

"Well, let's talk about the last operation to find the traitor."

Eula's heart tightened. Regarding Lawrence...this didn't look like a good thing.

She was determined to kill the tribesmen who were poisoning Mondstadt herself, but it would be best if this determination would never be used...

Kaiya announced the results of the capture of the mole to the others: "The one who leaked the church guards' roster was a deputy captain of the logistics team. He thought he could be qualified for a higher position with his ability, but he was assigned to the logistics team, which was the most mediocre at ordinary times, which made him dissatisfied. By the time he was captured, he had been in contact with the Fatui for half a year, and no other moles were found."

The Knights' sixth squad, the logistics squad, is captained by Hertha, and the team has a total of three vice-captains.

The Logistics Team has a small name but is not small in scale. Compared with other teams, it has many times more members. However, except in wartime, the work of the Logistics Team is not much different from that of the civilian staff on the third floor of the Knights Templar.

"It was originally just a tentative search, but I didn't expect it to be really..." Qin felt tired. No matter how hard you try, you can't guard against a thief in your own home.

Kaiya smiled nonchalantly and said, "I thought it was the remnant of Irok, but I didn't expect it to be just a small shrimp."

"Did you get anything out of him?"

"Unfortunately, he has a single line of contact with the Fatui, and it is unclear whether the Lawrence family is involved in this matter." Kaeya looked at Eula with his one eye.

…………

At ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Chen walked into the gate of the Knights Templar on time.

When he was taken to the conference room, Lisa had already returned to the library, leaving only Qin, Kaia and Eula.

Eula curiously observed this famous man whom she had met earlier. She saw that he was covered with a black cloak and his face was hidden in the shadows.

But the pattern on the front of his hood must be very attractive, right?

What an interesting outfit. When she first saw the portrait drawn by Albedo, she wondered if it was a mistake, but she didn't expect it to be real.

"Chen, we haven't introduced ourselves to each other before we met. My name is Qin, and I'm the acting leader of the Knights."

Qin greeted him in a friendly manner. On the day Kaiya and Lisa noticed Wang Chen, Qin received the news they brought, but the only time she and Wang Chen met was on the day Fengshen was killed.

In fact, there was also a concert last night, but Qin's mind was on Barbara at the time and she didn't notice Wang Chen.

Qin continued, "Since you are here, you should have heard from Kaia that the Knights have decided to invite you to become an honorary knight. This position does not require you to undertake daily tasks. It is set up by the Knights for people who have made special contributions or have potential."

Qin said it very clearly, this kind of nominal knight is used to win over people.

"I am very honored."

"But you must pass an assessment to prove your ability."

Wang Chen glanced at Eula and found that she was also looking at him. Wang Chen had a guess in his mind, could it be Eula’s legendary mission?

"What test?"

Qin supported her forehead with one hand and pondered for a while. Originally, she was going to hand this over to the Honorary Knight Ying, but it happened that Albedo recommended Wang Chen. Ying was a member of the Knights after all, and rashly investigating the Lawrence family would easily break the relationship that the Knights had worked so hard to maintain.

She then came up with the idea of ​​using this task to assess Wang Chen. After communicating with Lisa in detail, Lisa also expressed her agreement.

And Wang Chen is actually inextricably linked to this matter.

"To be honest, the Fatui who kidnapped you told me where they got the location of the Sky Harp."

Eula on the side closed her eyes, but Qin's voice still slowly entered her ears.

"It's the Lawrence family, but those Fatui won't name the specific people... The Lawrence family did make a big mistake, but that's all in the past. We can't simply blame the entire family for this. Maybe this is just a trick of the Fatui to stir up civil unrest in Mondstadt."

Wang Chen recalled the information about Lawrence's family.

The Wind God Square existed as early as the founding of New Mond City. Even the first generation of the Wind God statue was built under the leadership of Vanilara, the matriarch of the Lawrence family.

Later, the aristocracy became corrupt and Lawrence came to power. These "unworthy descendants" demolished the statue of the god of wind in the square and rebuilt it into a high tower. They also completely controlled the annual grand celebration that lasted for fifteen days - the Badminton Festival.

The Lawrence family will select a favorite girl in advance and ask her to throw a badminton from a high tower. The first person to catch the badminton will get good luck and a prize.

The prize is the girl in the tower...

Later, the rule of the Lawrence family was overthrown by Vanessa, but the Knights of Favonius implemented benevolent policies and only exiled those members of the Lawrence family who had committed evil deeds, and never allowed them to return to Mondstadt.

As one of the three eternal families, it even took complete control for a period of time. It was not uncommon for the remaining people of Lawrence to know the location of the Sky Harp.

As for how Wendy knew it, he is the God of Wind.

"Now we need someone to find out the truth, either to catch the criminal or to clear Lawrence's name. Before there is decisive evidence, the Knights' intervention will only intensify the conflict with Lawrence, so as an outsider, you are the most suitable person."

Qin reached out her hand to Eula next to her and introduced her to Wang Chen: "This is Wave Knight Eula, she is from the Lawrence family. You two will act together this time, you can ask Eula about relevant matters."

After getting to know Youla again, Wang Chen pondered for a while and asked, "Has the Sky Harp been found now?"

Turning off the God's perspective, Wang Chen only heard from the security guard that the Sky Harp was stolen, but did not hear the news that it was found.

"The Sky Harp has been recovered, but this news has not been announced in order to capture the traitor in the Knights' Order."

"I understand. I promise to complete the task."

After leaving the Knights, Eula and Wang Chen both seemed to be weighed down with worry.

"Eula, do you have any idea about this incident?"

"The only thing I can think of is that not everyone in the family knows the whereabouts of the Sky Harp. For example, I don't know."

"Hmm... Great. Our first step is to find out who knows this information and narrow down the suspects."

"How can we know that?"

"Good question. I don't know either."

"..."

"I thought I was better at fighting with fists, but you asked me to fight with words. Damn it! I'll remember this grudge!"

"?"

"Don't mind me, I'm just letting my emotions out."
