Chapter 54: Betrayal is Punished By Death

Diluc... No, Diluc, who inherited the Dawn Winery and all the properties of Ragnvindr, is now Master Diluc. His official inheritance of the Dawn Winery should have shaken the entire Mondstadt, but in fact it did not cause any waves. It's not that Master Diluc is too low-key. Just the recent cocktail party is enough to prove how luxurious he is. You know, in the previous cocktail parties, he only took out some rare wines at most. But this time, he took out all the fine wines collected by his deceased father, and each bottle was priceless. It was purely because the attention of the people of Mondstadt was focused on a mysterious [Guardian]. Almost after Master Diluc returned, this strong man appeared in everyone's sight. No one knows who he is, and no one knows why he does this. The only known characteristics are the occasional smell of burning and the flash of a fiery red figure in the dark night. The corpse of the monster that has plagued Mondstadt for a long time is lying in the wild; the long-wanted thief is hung upside down in front of the statue; the Knights of Favonius marched to fight against a long-time evil abyss mage, but found that the enemy had already been defeated... With the help of drunken gossip, the deeds of this guardian quickly spread in Mondstadt, and the reputation of Master Diluk was suppressed again and again. This also made Master Diluk have no good feelings for this hero. Whenever he heard this name, he couldn't help but frown. That's right, he had just taken over his family's business and wanted to show his skills, but he didn't expect to be robbed of the limelight by such a guy who came out of nowhere. This is blocking the way to the money of the Dawn Winery. This guardian was also given a name by people - [Darknight Hero]. At this moment, this Darknight Hero, who was missed by the citizens of Mondstadt, appeared in the underground wine cellar of Master Diluc's house. "Guards! There's an assassin!" At this time, Krober was extremely glad that he brought enough men with him when he came down, otherwise... "Swoosh!" Several Night Owl darts flew out in response, accurately hitting the eyebrows of the Fatui guards who heard Krober's call for help. These seemingly powerful guards didn't even last a moment, and were knocked to the ground by the Darknight Hero. Speaking of which, Krober was completely asking for it. He was afraid that the news of his taking bribes would be reported back to Snezhnaya, so he didn't dare to use the Fatui's own guards, but specially hired several local "adventurers". Unfortunately, the adventurers' bids were relatively high, and Krober, a miser, was reluctant to pay a high price, so he spent a small amount of money to hire some idle guys to fill the door. Usually wearing the clothes of the Fatui, no one dared to provoke these so-called guards, which also gave Krober the illusion that "these guys are quite reliable". As a result, when it came to the critical moment, these guys were completely useless. Seeing Krober trying to pull out the night owl dart that nailed his palm, the Darknight Hero directly stepped on the night owl dart and nailed his hand back again. "Ah-you...you Mondstadt's troublemaker! Do you know who I am? Let me go!" Feeling the pain of his palm being pierced, Krober's face was full of fear. He tried to use his identity to intimidate the other party and let him let him go. "The child of the bakery in Mondstadt, and the daughter of the gentleman in the Knights, do you still remember?" The voice of the Darknight Hero was very low, so low that Krober seemed to have fallen into an ice cave. Of course he knew about the two children, and one of them just died in front of him some time ago. But he couldn't tell it, if he told it... "A year ago, these children were recruited by the Fatui, and have lost contact since then. Don't tell me you don't know about this." The Darknight Hero raised his foot and stepped on Krober's shoulder. As the force of his foot increased, the Night Owl Dart nailed on Kroeber's hand was gradually tearing his palm apart. "No. 139! And K423! I know everything! I know everything!" Looking at the cold Night Owl Dart that was about to cut his palm in half, Krober finally couldn't hold it anymore. "He... they were chosen by the master because of their excellent qualifications. The master... the master..." "..." The Darknight Hero had also dealt with the Fatui before. He knew very well what kind of treatment he would experience after being given such a code name. And this also made him more certain that his father's death was definitely related to this guy and his so-called master. "Hmph!" Seeing Krober's hesitation, the Darknight Hero exerted force on his feet. There was a sound of flesh being cut, and Krober's hand was torn in half by the Night Owl Dart. "Ahhhh - I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!" The Night Owl Dart only had a blade on the lower half, and the upper half was completely blunt. So Kroeber's palm was torn open by the force of the Darknight Hero's foot, and some irregular granulations could even be seen at the wound. The Darknight Hero picked up Krober's other intact hand with an expressionless face and pressed it back on the oak barrel. "Tell me, what is your master doing! Otherwise..." The Night Owl Dart was already against Krober's palm, and his meaning was self-evident. "Master... The master's purpose is - instructor?" Krober, who was originally full of fear, was replaced by surprise as if he had seen a life-saving straw. Instructor? The Darknight Hero was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked behind him. On the wine barrel where he had hidden before, there was a man in black wearing a white mask squatting. Holding the Night Owl Dart in his backhand, the Darknight Hero grabbed Krober on the ground and pressed the dart against his neck. He had traveled to the Seven Nations and destroyed many of the Fatui's strongholds during that time. This also gave him more confidence and he tried to investigate a large stronghold. As a result, he was dealt with by a Fatui Harbinger who happened to pass by that stronghold. If it weren't for the noble man's rescue, he wouldn't even have the chance to return to Mondstadt. So when facing the Fatui Harbinger, he was so nervous, because he knew better than anyone how terrible these guys were. "Instructor! Kill him! Kill this Mondstadt's stubborn citizen! He wants to stop the master's plan!" Even though there was a sharp blade against his neck that could take his life, Krober was not afraid at all. Because he knew the methods of the Harbinger, as long as the instructor wanted to save him, then... "Swoosh--" Bai Luo, who was half squatting on the wine barrel, did make a move. Looking at the uniquely shaped dagger, Diluk subconsciously wanted to block it with the Night Owl Dart in his hand. As a result... "Huh--Instructor... Sir, why... why..." Covering his throat, the excitement on Krober's face had disappeared, and turned into deep confusion. The Darknight Hero also didn't understand why Bai Luo would kill Krober. "Although you are not a member of the Fatui advance army, I believe the doctor also said it to you when signing the contract? Leaking secrets will be punished by death!" ________________________________________ Hello my dear readers, I noticed that I am not getting power stones.
