Chapter 45: Fire-Water, The Soul of Fatui

Bai Luo did not find it strange that the Queen would write to him. He had been here for so long, but the progress in seizing the Gnosis had not improved. It was reasonable for the Queen to urge him. But to his surprise, the letter did not blame him for not working hard, but was for another Harbinger, the Dottore. The Queen's meaning was very simple. She asked him to temporarily hand over the work of Inazuma to Scaramouche and go to Mondstadt to help the Doctor with some things. "Isn't Signora the one, who is in the charge of Mondstadt?" Bai Luo wanted to go to Mondstadt the most at the beginning, because the god of this free city-state is a very cowardly guy. As long as his bottom line is not touched, Bai Luo will never have to worry about his life. Unfortunately, La Signora who was born in Mondstadt did not want others to interfere in her work, so she took the initiative to take charge of all matters related to Mondstadt. Now that he is going to Mondstadt, will Signora not cause trouble for him? Perhaps the Queen guessed that Bai Luo would have such concerns, so she also gave an explanation in the letter. It turned out that the god of the city of freedom is still missing. In order not to alert the enemy, the Queen has not yet gone to Mondstadt, but stayed in Snezhnaya to deal with some affairs. And the Queen specifically told him to try not to take the initiative even if he met Barbatos. Some things still need to be solved by the Signora herself. "When do you leave?" After collecting the letter, Bai Luo looked at the Fatui in front of him. If this was a letter from the Doctor, Bai Luo could still reject it directly. Because now he is on the same level as the other party, he doesn't have to obey the other party's orders at all. But if it was a letter from the Queen, he would have to take it seriously, because he is still under the Queen's command. Betrayal... is not something that the Queen likes. At least before he is strong enough to resist the anger of the Seven Archons, he can't easily get away from the Fatui. "The doctor's men are already waiting outside Inazuma. Tomorrow, You can take their ship to Mondstadt directly." In fact, the Fatui were still reluctant to let Bai Luo leave. Although Bai Luo often did not do his job, he was comparable to Barbatos, the hands-off shopkeeper. But he was still quite good to his subordinates, at least he would not kill one from time to time. Look at the Balladeer. He has only been in Inazuma for a few days? Yet Several colleagues have died at the Delusion Factory. And they all died in a very ugly way. It was obvious that they were used as tools and used the inferior delusions. They were already considering whether to transfer to the advance team to avoid the limelight. "Okay, find a way to notify the doctor's men and tell them that I will arrive before 12 noon tomorrow, so that they can be prepared to meet me." "Yes!" The Fatui soldier responded. He wanted to go back and notify his colleagues waiting on the sea through special methods, but he was stopped by Bai Luo unexpectedly. "Sir, is there anything else you need?" He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that there was something wrong with Bai Luo's look at him. "Do you have any Fire-Water with you?" "...No." Although he was wearing a Fatui mask on his face, this guy's performance was obviously very guilty. Regardless of whether he had it or not, he certainly didn't dare to admit it in front of Bai Luo. Because according to the Fatui's rules, although things like Fire-Water can be brought, there are times to do so. If you are found drinking Fire-Water during work, you may even be killed if you encounter a bad-tempered leader. After taking a few casual glances at the other person, Bai Luo accurately searched him for a bottle of unopened Fire-Water. As the instructor of the Pyro Debt Agent, he did this kind of thing a lot. So he knew exactly where these soldiers liked to hide their wine. "My lord, this is my last bottle. I have never been willing to drink it." The Fatui soldier cried and tried to make a final struggle. If he had known it would be confiscated, he would not have kept it. It would have been better to drink it directly. "When we return to the Snezhnaya, I will treat you to the best Fire-Water." After collecting the Fire-Water he had searched out, Bai Luo patted the other party's shoulder and left the courtyard carrying the fireworks. "Let's wait until we can return to Snezhnaya..." The Fatui sighed helplessly. ... It was actually easy to find where Ksenia lived. She didn't like water, nor did she like insects to bite her expensive blanket, so she built her temporary camp on a rock far away from the stream. Waking up in the sunshine every day and then going to the nearby place to do tasks are the times she enjoys the most. From a distance, Bai Luo saw her temporary camp built with dark red canvas and the smoke rising high. "It just so happens that I haven't eaten much today, so I'll have a meal with you." He was about to leave Inazuma, and it was not clear when he would be back, so Bai Luo naturally did not forget to visit Ksenia before leaving. Bai Luo had a good impression of this hospitable Electro Cicin Mage. Especially when he remembered that the other party had been muttering about pure Fire-Water, he even searched for a bottle from his men. It's just... when he got closer, he realized that something was wrong. Because the people sitting next to the temporary camp were not Ksenia in Bai Luo's memory, but a group of guys dressed strangely. They were sitting around the broken pot that Ksenia had used to boil tea for him, and seemed to be repairing it. Based on their clothes, Bai Luo recognized their identities directly. Treasure hoarders. They are also a relatively famous organization in the continent of Teyvat, and most of their members are some money-obsessed guys. Although their footprints are all over the continent, and even some secret places that adventurers dare not easily set foot in have their shadows, it does not change the nature of their being a loose thieves organization. It's just... why are they near Ksenia's station? Where did Ksenia go? He didn't think these guys from the treasure hoarders could beat Ksenia. After all, Ksenia is also a Thunder Cicin Mage, and she is a special soldier in the nation of Snezhnaya. These treasure hoarders who don't even have the Vision will definitely not be her opponents. Looking at these boasting treasure hoarders, Bai Luo quietly put down the fireworks box in his hand, pulled out his dagger, and disappeared into the night. The most terrifying thing about this profession is not his direct combat ability. If we only talk about direct combat, Bai Luo is definitely the last one among the Harbingers. But if it is an assassination... Bai Luo is definitely the strongest one. So far, Bai Luo has never failed in the assassination missions carried out by the Fatui. As long as the target is given to him, it will take less than a day for the target to die quietly. Even if they specially hired the owner of the Vision as the protagonist's bodyguard, they still could not escape the shadow of Bai Luo's death. It is said that even those who slept with Bai Luo's target only realized that the person beside them had turned into a cold corpse the next day. According to incomplete statistics, the three harbingers, the doctor, the instructor, and the clown, are the people that everyone is most reluctant to and least wants to offend in the entire Snezhnaya Nation. In short... these members of the treasure-hoarding group are in trouble. ______________________________________ Hello my dear readers, I noticed that I am not getting power stones.
