Not long ago, she reached a cooperation with the Abyss Cult and will take action directly tomorrow to lure out Barbatos.

Although time is a bit tight, how to lure out Barbatos is something the people of the Abyss Cult need to consider. She just needs to wait for Barbatos to appear.

Just as the lady was about to go to bed, she suddenly heard a loud greeting coming from the corridor outside the door.

"Ma'am—I'm a fairy to you!"

The lady flew into a rage upon hearing this: "Who the hell is looking for death in the middle of the night?!"

The angry lady grabbed a coat and wrapped it around herself, then walked barefoot to the door and opened it. She wanted to stick her head out to see who was so blind as to cause trouble, but as soon as she opened the door, a square red block that was rapidly flashing white light fell from above and landed right in front of her.

The lady was stunned for only a moment, and a feeling of death surged into her heart. She immediately closed the door with her backhand and used the ice element to quickly create an ice wall in front of her.

However, the ice wall was only half built when a loud explosion sounded and the lady was blown away, landing in a haystack around the hotel in a mess.

The lady groaned weakly and tried to get up, and just at that moment, a hand reached out.

"Miss, do you need help?"

The lady subconsciously stretched out her hand to put it on the other person's hand to receive help. Suddenly, a flash of light came on, followed by a click.

"Well, this photo will definitely sell for a good price."

Lu Xiu looked at the photo in his hand with satisfaction, then smiled and nodded at the lady.

"Have a sweet dream, ma'am."

Chapter 129 The Plan Begins

"Who are you?!"

When the lady saw a strange man appear and take a photo of herself with a disheveled face, she immediately became furious and hurriedly got up from the ground, reaching out to snatch the camera from Lu Xiu's hand.

"It's not good to steal other people's things."

Lu Xiu took a step back, then took out the Sky Harp and threw it towards the lady.

"Sky Harp?!"

The lady was stunned for a moment when she saw what Lu Xiu took out. Before she could say anything, the Sky Harp hit her chest directly. The huge impact force almost broke her magnificent cushions.

The lady flew backwards and smashed several stalls before she stopped in a pile of rubble. She struggled to look up at Lu Xiu who was raising his hand to catch the Sky Harp that was flying back.

"You are... Barbato..."

Before she could utter the last word, the lady's eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Lu Xiu raised his eyebrows, walked forward and took another photo of the unconscious lady.

"Hmm... It's quite explicit, so I probably can't post it. Forget it, I'll just go back and get it a display frame and hang it up at home as a trophy."

Lu Xiu put away the camera, hummed a little tune with a satisfied look on his face and left.

-------------

When the lady opened her eyes again, she was already lying in a ward. She looked around in confusion and saw Tartaglia sitting beside the bed, peeling an apple with a water element knife.

"Hey, you're awake. I didn't expect you to have such an embarrassing day."

Tartaglia looked at the lady on the hospital bed with a teasing look on his face. He was shocked when he received the news from his subordinates last night.

The lady was attacked at night and was in such a miserable state that the front-page headline of the newspaper in Mondstadt was a photo of her lying in the grass in her pajamas.

"Why am I here?"

The lady pressed her head with a painful look on her face as she had a headache.

Tartaglia released the water blade in his hand, put the peeled apple into his mouth and took a bite, then calmly took a newspaper from the side and handed it to the lady.

"You might get more headaches after reading this."

The lady held her head and took the newspaper from Tartaglia. After just one look, she immediately tore the newspaper into pieces.

"Damn Barbatos!!!"

"Barbatos?"

Tartaglia asked doubtfully, "What does this have to do with Barbatos?"

"The man who attacked me last night was Barbatos, I'm sure of it!"

The lady was sure that the xylophone was the Sky Harp that Barbatos had been using.

She has been plotting for the Sky Harp for a long time, so it is impossible for her to admit her mistake.

"Barbatos? Would he be so bored as to attack you at night?"

Tartaglia was a little skeptical. Rather than saying that it was Barbatos who attacked the lady, he would rather believe that it was Lucius who ran over and attacked the lady.

However, judging from the fact that the other party actually took photos of the lady in a miserable state and sold them to the newspaper, Barbatos is indeed more likely.

After all, Barbatos is recorded as the god who loves to play pranks the most among all the gods. He even replaced the Queen's scepter.

"Well, assuming it was Barbatos who attacked you, why did he do it? Could it be that he knew about your plan?"

Compared to these things, Tartaglia was more concerned about the attacker's purpose.

"It doesn't matter whether you know the plan or not. Anyway, the plan will be implemented today. According to the time we agreed on before, the time is almost here."

The lady stood up from the bed, walked to the window, opened the curtain and looked at the sky outside.

"Agreement? Who did you agree with? Do we have reinforcements?"

"The Abyss Cult."

The lady's tone was very calm, but Tartaglia's reaction was a little subtle.

"You're actually collaborating with the Abyss Cult? Are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy. For the sake of the plan, it's not a bad idea to cooperate with them. Besides, isn't it nice to have someone take the blame for us?"

Tartaglia looked at the lady deeply, and finally sighed helplessly: "Whatever you want, you are the executive officer of Mondstadt anyway."

The lady turned around, leaned against the window, and looked at Tartaglia: "As the Mondstadt region's executive officer, shouldn't you help me with something?"

"terribly sorry."

Tartaglia spread his hands and smiled helplessly, "The doctor just sent a message yesterday saying that the ruins were found in Inazuma. I need to go over there to help. Although I really want to help you, there's nothing I can do. After all, the doctor took the Queen's punishment for me, didn't he?"

"found it?"

The lady raised her slender eyebrows. "Once you're there, Inazuma will have three executive officers. If things here weren't unfinished, I'd also like to see what kind of ruins would have three executive officers searching for."

"Unfortunately, I don't know much about this. What I do know is..." Tartaglia pursed his lips, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes: "That is the void that can swallow everything."

"Void..."

The lady pinched her smooth chin and fell into thought.

After a moment of silence between the two, Tartaglia stood up first. "Okay, I'll be leaving now. I hope to hear your good news from Inazuma. Perhaps Her Majesty will give us a day off after hearing the good news~"

Tartaglia waved to the lady and left the ward.

The lady picked up her clothes from the side of the bed and changed them. When she was about to go out, she suddenly heard a noise under her feet.

The lady was stunned for a moment, but soon the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"It seems that the plan has begun."

----------------

On the Dragon Spine Snow Mountain south of Mondstadt, an ancient dragon broke through the snow cover, opened its bony mouth to the sky and roared silently.

Although its roar made no sound, its every move still caused the earth to shake.

The adventurers who had originally camped at the foot of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain and were preparing to venture deep into the snow mountain widened their eyes in shock when they saw the appearance of the bone dragon, and then anxiously reported the situation here to Mondstadt.

In the Angel's Gift bar in Mondstadt, Wendy, who was singing for the drinkers, suddenly stopped singing and turned to look in the direction of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.

"That's, Dulin?"

Almost at the same time, Lu Zheng was taking Osel to Mond Cathedral to start today's "big movie", but the earth-shaking scene immediately attracted their attention.

"Looks like someone's here to steal your Best Villain award, Osel."

Chapter 130 Lu Xiu: What? I am Barbatos?

"This breath is a little familiar..."

Osel turned towards the direction of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain and looked carefully, but still could not find any relevant demon in his mind.

"No, I don't know who it is, but this breath is a bit strange..."

"What do you mean?" Lucius glanced at Osel's furrowed brows and asked, "Is he from Barbatos?"

"No." Osel shook his head. "If it were any other god, I might not be familiar with him, but I am quite familiar with Barbatos. He only has a few followers. I saw them all before I was sealed. I said this aura is strange only because the owner of this aura is too weak."

"weak?"

"Well, it's strong on the outside but weak on the inside. The power it exudes now feels quite terrifying, but it can only scare those below the level of the Demon God. It can't scare beings of our level at all. I think Barbatos should be able to discover this immediately."

After listening to Osel's words, Lu Xiu seemed to understand something. He stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

"You said this isn't Barbatos's man, so it must be a 'fake demon god' created by someone from another faction. Such a conspicuous fake is obviously intended to attract attention, but even someone of Barbatos's level can tell it's a fake. So, the target they're trying to attract isn't Barbatos, but the Knights of Favonius?"

After hearing Lu Xiu's mumbling, Osel immediately echoed with eagerness, "Boss, you're smart!"

Lu Xiu rolled his eyes at him unhappily. "It's just a simple matter. It's only because we stand in a different position that we can immediately guess the other party's intentions. But the Knights of Favonius wouldn't think so."

Lu Xiu raised his hand and pointed Osel in a direction. Osel looked in the direction and saw that at the intersection in the distance, a large group of Knights of Favonius were rushing out of the city in a vigorous manner. Leading them were Jean, Lisa and other high-ranking members of the Knights of Favonius.

Obviously, they were frightened by the aura emitted by the fake, so they went out in full force, leaving only a part of the Knights of Favonius stationed in Mondstadt.

"Then boss, are we still filming our 'movie'?"

"Of course it continued, but there were just a few less spectators, it's not a big deal."

Lu Xiu turned around and prepared to take Osel to Mondstadt Cathedral, which was more spacious and suitable for serving as a background for the battle.

However, as soon as Lu Xiu turned around, he found that a thick fog had covered his back without him noticing.

Osel squinted his eyes and looked around, then leaned over to Lu Xiu's ear and whispered, "Sir, this is a formation. Someone wants to trap us here."

Lu Xiu calmly opened the small map and looked at the units around him. When he saw a familiar name, he couldn't help laughing.

"I was wondering who it was, but it's you, [Ms.] Rosalyn Kruschika Lowfart."

"Who?" Osel was confused. This name was even longer than Mona's.

"Heh, you're worthy of being the Wind God of Mondstadt. You knew my name so easily."

A graceful figure slowly walked out of the thick fog in front of Lu Xiu. The lady stared at Lu Xiu's face with hatred and looked at him with gritted teeth.

"Barbatos, it's time to settle everything!"

When Osel, who was beside Lu Xiu, heard this, he became a little indignant and muttered softly.

"This is the line I thought of last night. Who is this woman? How did she steal the line? Also, is Barbatos nearby? Why didn't I notice him?"

Lu Xiu raised his finger and pointed at his nose with some doubt, "Are you talking about me?"

The lady snorted coldly, "Are you still playing dumb at this point, Barbatos?"

Lu Xiu and Osel looked at each other strangely.

"Boss, when did you go out to do things under the identity of Barbatos?"

'I don't make it! '

However, being misunderstood is not necessarily a bad thing. If he becomes Barbatos, the authority mission will be easier to complete.

"There's a change of plan. Osel, go to the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain and check out the situation. If possible, bring me back the materials dropped by the fake. I'll leave this here."

"What? I've been promoting it for several days, and now you, boss, won't let me perform again?!"
