"What should I do...what should I do...how should I report it later?"
Just as he was forming words in his mind, a cold female voice came from the luxurious guest room.
"Come in."
The Fatui suddenly froze in place, took a deep breath and adjusted himself a little, then opened the door of the luxurious guest room and walked in.
The Fatui walked through the corridor with their heads down and came to the living room. They glanced at the lady sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed and wearing bright red nail polish, and then quickly lowered their heads again, as if they were afraid that their furtive glance would be discovered.
"Please report, how did the team get along last night?"
The lady slowly and methodically applied nail polish to her nails while coldly asking questions to her subordinates.
When the lady asked this, the fools in front of her broke out in a sweat, stammered for a long time, and couldn't squeeze out a word.
"That... this..."
"Ok?"
Seeing her subordinate hesitating, the lady's beautiful eyebrows knitted together. She shifted her gaze from her nails to her subordinate and sneered, "Can't you even do your reporting job? You useless piece of shit, are you trying to swim back to winter?"
The Fatui were immediately horrified and quickly shook their heads in denial, "No, no, no, I wouldn't dare. It's just that something went wrong with our team yesterday."
Upon hearing this and seeing the subordinate's previous hesitancy, even the dumbest person would realize that something had gone wrong.
The lady sat up straight on the sofa and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me quickly, what happened?"
The Fatui swallowed their saliva. At this point, he had to tell the truth even if he would be punished. If he dared to hide it, his fate would definitely be more severe than swimming back to winter.
"The team that set out on a mission last night hasn't returned yet. Furthermore, our informant in the city has reported that the bodies of the team members were found on the street a hundred meters east of Mond Square. All nine members of the team were killed."
"What did you say?"
The news made the lady look incredulous, as she had just imagined various scenarios.
It's nothing more than that the matter was exposed and discovered by the Knights of Favonius, or they were stopped while carrying out the mission.
No matter which one it was, she had already thought of a solution in her mind.
But she never expected that the entire team sent out last night was killed.
Judging from the configuration of that team, it can definitely be called an elite force.
Even if the elite members of the Knights of Favonius took action, it would be impossible to kill all nine members of the team, unless the Grand Master Falgar took action.
But the other party is now far away and it is impossible for him to come back all the way to stop them.
Seeing the lady frowning in deep thought, the subordinate whispered, "Sir, I have some other news. Do you want to hear it now?"
The lady frowned, looking displeased: "Next time, finish your words at once and don't interrupt me while I'm thinking!"
"Yes..."
After mentally arranging his words, the subordinate continued, "In the streets surrounding Mond Square, not only were our team members found dead on the eastern street, but a patrol of the Knights of Favonius was also discovered on the western street, including Cavalry Captain Kaia. They all collapsed unconscious on the street and were not awakened until morning by other Knights of Favonius."
"Besides that, a massive wall suddenly appeared in the center of Mond Square. It's about fifty meters high. The only thing we can confirm is that it wasn't there yesterday afternoon. It was built overnight."
"Are you kidding?" The lady narrowed her eyes. Even if she didn't know much about construction, she knew that it was impossible to build a fifty-meter-high wall in one night, and how to ensure that the wall would not collapse?
This is complete and utter fantasy.
The subordinate hurriedly explained, "Sir, how dare I lie to you with such a ridiculous thing? The wall really exists. Just take a look out the window and you'll see it's taller than the statue of Barbatos, the god of wind!"
Although the Fatui's panicked tone had already made the lady believe it, she still stood up from the sofa, walked to the window and looked out. Sure enough, a large white wall appeared in her sight.
"Built in one night... Who has that ability?"
The appearance of this wall was beyond the lady's imagination. To build a wall of this height and keep it from collapsing, even the holder of the Eye of God could not do it, and even more so, even if a large number of holders of the Eye of God worked together, they could not do it.
The only ones who could do this are gods, but what god would have nothing better to do than erect a wall in Mondstadt's square?
What is the significance of doing this?
Even if it was Venti, the most puzzling of the Seven Gods, who built this wall in Mondstadt Square for no reason, why did he also knock out the members of the Knights of Favonius after killing his own Fatui?
This is a bit unreasonable.
Just when the lady couldn't figure this out, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The lady rubbed her hair in annoyance, sat back on the sofa, crossed her legs and looked at the door.
The door opened, and another Fatui walked in quickly. He came to the lady and knelt on one knee.
"Sir, Kaia of the Knights of Favonius and several other Knights of Favonius came to visit. They said there are some incidents that require your cooperation in the investigation."
"Let him go. I'm not in the mood to receive him now."
When she heard that they were members of the Knights of Favonius, the lady waved her hand in displeasure. The patrols of the Knights of Favonius and her elite squad were all traveling at night, but her people died, while the Knights of Favonius just slept on the street.
This made her feel somewhat unbalanced.
"But..."
A subordinate reminded in a helpless whisper.
"But sir, we, the Fatui, are known to the outside world as the Winter Envoys. According to the rules, when we are in other countries, we must cooperate with the investigation if the other party makes a reasonable request."
"Damn it."
The lady cursed inwardly. She had forgotten this when she was angry just now. Now that she was reminded of this, she felt even more depressed.
Due to the Fatui's external reputation, she had to receive the Knights of Favonius, whom she didn't want to see now.
"Okay, I get it. Bring them up."
Chapter 119 That Man
"Good morning, ma'am. It's a sunny day today. I hope you have a good mood today."
As Kaiya walked in, he smiled brightly and sat down opposite the lady without waiting for her to greet him.
The lady looked at him coldly and said in a cold voice, "I also hope that Mr. Kaiya, who slept on the street all night, will have a good day."
"Oh, it seems you're really well-informed. Someone has already informed you of what just happened. Or, have you already learned that one of your teams has been wiped out?"
Kaiya still had that smiling face, which made people want to punch him in the face.
The lady, however, remained unmoved and sneered, "The captain of the Knights of Favonius didn't go to the doctor early in the morning to check if he had a cold, but instead came to the hotel just to tell me this bad news?"
"No, no, no. I just want to know why the Fatui sent a small group of people armed with all kinds of deadly weapons to wander around Mondstadt in the middle of the night."
"Are you questioning me?"
The lady's eyes narrowed immediately, and her tone gradually became more dangerous.
"A foreign diplomatic envoy team was brutally murdered in Mondstadt. Instead of investigating the cause and giving us an explanation, you came to question me. It seems you are treating us as prisoners. I will report your attitude to Her Majesty the Queen. I am afraid that the future cooperation between Solstice and Mondstadt may be affected to some extent."
"That's not possible!"
Kaia smiled and patted the leather sofa beneath him. "Mondstadt's prisoners don't have leather sofas like this to sit on. We treat the Fatui as honored guests. I came here to ask you an explanation. Only by fully cooperating can we quickly uncover the truth of this matter."
"Only if you tell me what your team plans to do in the city can we follow this lead. After all, judging by the situation around Mond Square, the murderer is likely an enemy of the Fatui. They appear to be aware of your plan and have ambushed you there. If we know your next move, perhaps we can simply wait and catch the criminal."
"You think so?"
The lady nodded in agreement, but her tone remained firm.
"You're quite right, but I still refuse. My team is only out investigating Mondstadt's customs and practices. We're afraid of encountering thieves, so we bring weapons for self-defense. That makes sense, doesn't it?"
"Oh? Really? We have always had good security in Mondstadt. Even if we need to carry weapons for self-defense, why would we coat them with deadly poison?"
Kaiya's smile remained unchanged, but his tone became a little colder.
"It's just a personal hobby."
The lady answered calmly while drinking tea. Without concrete evidence, no matter how exaggerated her answer was, the other party could not do anything to her.
"Personal interest? That's understandable."
However, to the lady's surprise, Kaia not only did not show any anger when he heard such an exaggerated answer, but even nodded in agreement.
Although she was surprised, the lady suppressed her surprise and drank her tea calmly.
"It seems that you are not in the mood to chat with me right now, ma'am. I will take my leave first. I hope we can have a chance to chat again later."
Kaiya suddenly stood up and prepared to say goodbye and leave. Although this surprised the lady, she still put down the tea in her hand and stood up to see him off.
"Well, I'll definitely do it next time."
After seeing Kaia off, the lady sat back on the sofa. After a moment, she raised her hand and clapped, and a Fatui pushed the door open and walked in.
"My lord, what can I do for you?"
"Go call Tartaglia over and tell him I have something important to discuss with him."
"Yes."
The Fatui left quickly. About thirty minutes later, Tartaglia walked in from outside with an unhappy look on his face.
Seeing the lady sitting leisurely on the sofa drinking black tea, he felt a little unhappy and sat opposite her.
"Tell me what you want from me. I'm still looking for something outside."
"Oh? Are these the underground ruins the doctor asked you to find? Why did he ask you to look for these ancient buildings? Could it be that he suddenly wants to become an archaeologist?"
"Who knows."
Although Tartaglia knew something about the situation, he did not want to reveal it to the lady.
"This is just a little personal cooperation between him and me. You don't need to know."
"Ah."
The lady chuckled. "It seems that underground structure is quite important to the Doctor. He actually took the responsibility for Liyue's failure to seize the Heart of God for you. All you need to do is come to Mondstadt to search for the ruins."
Tartaglia narrowed his eyes at the lady and said coldly, "Let's get down to business. Did you call me here just to get some information out of me?"
"Do not."
The lady put down the red tea quilt in her hand and hugged her arms to make the magnificent breasts look even rounder and fuller.
"I'm not interested in your archaeological activities. I just want you to do me a favor and help me steal the Sky Harp kept in the basement of Mondstadt Cathedral. I need it to lure out Barbatos."
"I refuse. You know I have things to do right now."
Tartaglia rejected the lady's request without a second thought.
The lady didn't get angry. She smiled and continued, "I know, but don't forget, Her Majesty the Queen has assigned you to be my assistant. Normally, if you don't have other tasks, I'll give you plenty of time to search for underground ruins. But now, I need you to play a role. I don't think you want Her Majesty to know that you've been slacking off in Mondstadt, right?"
Tartaglia tutted in displeasure. "Where are those Fatui under your command? Are they all dead?"
He originally just wanted to use this to scold the lady, but he never expected the lady to nod with a gloomy face.
"Last night, an elite team was completely wiped out by a third party. Sea Fishing has yet to find out who did it."
Tartaglia was stunned: "A third party? Tell me about the current situation."
The lady told Tartaglia everything she knew, and after she finished, Tartaglia immediately frowned.
"The wall erected overnight, the elite squad silently annihilated, it always gives me a sense of déjà vu..."
"Oh?"
The lady suddenly perked up: "Do you know who did it?"
"I'm not sure, but when I was operating in Liyue, it failed because of the intervention of a third party. And this time, it's very likely because of that man."
Chapter 120: I am very happy to trouble the fools
"That man?"
The lady saw Tartaglia's expression of deep taboo and immediately became interested.
But Dadalia didn't really want to continue the conversation.
"Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore. It will become unfortunate. You want me to help steal the Sky Lyre, right? In exchange, I need you to provide more manpower to help me search for the underground ruins."
"no problem."
The lady agreed decisively. Although she disliked Tartaglia, his strength was unquestionable. He was ranked among the top executives. With him taking action, the Sky Harp would be safe.
