Chapter 56: Dark Collei

The Fatui have left. Although they are just some diplomats, it is enough to make the Knights breathe a sigh of relief. Compared with those normal soldiers, these diplomats are very difficult to deal with. Not only do they have a bad attitude, but they are also aggressive in many aspects. They are also extremely picky about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even make some knights so angry that they want to roll up their sleeves and beat people. If it weren't for Deputy Captain Jean taking the initiative to appease these knights, I'm afraid there would be a diplomatic accident. In short, not many people in the Knights have a good impression of these so-called diplomats. The person in charge of the escort is Kaeya. Originally, he didn't want to take this task, because he felt that it was more important to stay in Mondstadt to monitor the [Instructor]. But the identities of these diplomats are more important. Not only him, but even Deputy Captain Jean came forward in person. He can only give up the [Instructor] and complete the escort mission for the time being. "Line up and get ready!" After giving some instructions to Amber, Jean commanded the members of the Knights to prepare for departure. As for Kaeya, who seemed to be in a daze but was actually eavesdropping on the diplomats' speech, he was also driven to the front of the team by Jean. As the captain of the cavalry, he had to walk in front. As for Deputy Captain Jean, she had to guard beside the carriage to prevent anyone from plotting against the diplomats. Their mission was to escort these diplomats out of Mondstadt, where the Fatui would pick them up. As long as these diplomats did not get into trouble in Mondstadt, everything would be fine. The assembled cavalry squad also attracted the attention of the residents of Mondstadt. They hid in the distance, whispering about the squad. Although they didn't know the mission of the Knights, they could tell from the mark of the Fatui on the carriage that it was probably related to these pests. This kind of noisy scene is rarely seen in Inazuma. The only time was when Arataki Itto was caught. "Really... it would be a pity if such a beautiful scene was destroyed." On the windmill of Mondstadt, Bai Luo looked at the crowd below and couldn't help sighing. There are many such windmills in Mondstadt. With the blessing of the God of Wind, these windmills will generate a steady stream of power and provide various conveniences for the city. Now, this place has become a stand for Bai Luo to enjoy the beautiful scenery. He came to Mondstadt with a mission. But it was not Krober's mission to recruit experimental materials. Three years ago, the doctor invented a mechanical bird with the help of substances extracted from the mist grass. This mechanical bird can induce monsters to riot. The doctor asked Kroeber to put the mechanical bird on the carriage of Crepus Ragnvindr and his party, causing the dragon Ursa to attack Crepus and his party. In order to protect his son Diluc, Crepus used his life to stimulate the power of the Delusion and drove away the dragon. But he himself suffered the backlash and died in front of Diluc. It was also at this time that Diluc and the Knights had a disagreement. The former resolutely withdrew from the Knights and began his journey between the seven countries. Since then, because of this mechanical bird, the dragon Ursa often harassed Mondstadt, making the residents of Mondstadt miserable. At the critical moment, the doctor appeared with the Fatui. The doctor easily subdued the dragon Ursa and made Mondstadt owe him a favor. What followed was forced conscription. Many young boys and girls with potential were taken to Snezhnaya in the name of conscription and were transformed into human bodies to create a stronger army. But as time goes by, the influence of the Fatui in Mondstadt is gradually declining, which has hindered the progress of recruitment. Bai Luo's mission is to trigger an incident similar to the dragon Ursa during the Ludi Harpastum Festival, repeat the incident three years ago, and deepen the influence of the Fatui on Mondstadt. This so-called evacuation was just to take back the Fatui's research on mechanical birds so as not to leave any evidence behind. "Hmm?" As the Knights gathered, a figure in the distance caught Bai Luo's attention. It was a foreign girl, her body was wrapped in bandages, her face was very gloomy, and from her tired eyes, she must have been traveling for a long time. She staggered onto the bridge at the city gate, scaring away all the pigeons that had gathered there. The little boy who was feeding the pigeons wanted to complain, but when he saw her, he chose to remain silent. After noticing his evasive gaze, the girl showed a mocking expression on her face. "Collei...". Bai Luo knew this girl, but she didn't know of Bai Luo's existence. Speaking of which... it was when he was helping the doctor. The girl was infected with the Eleazar and was on the verge of death. Perhaps out of some kind of bad taste, one of the missionaries under the doctor injected her with the residue of the demon god and then abandoned her. At that time, Bai Luo, who was just an ordinary Fatui, felt sorry for her, so he took care of her for a while when she was unconscious without telling the missionary. And it was during that time that he was transferred to the debt collector's unit because of his outstanding performance and was forced to be called away. Unfortunately, the girl did not wake up until he left. Bai Luo thought she had died under the torture of the demon god residue, but he did not expect her vitality to be so tenacious. Speaking of which... I was kind-hearted but did bad things at the beginning. She was tortured alive like this, maybe it was more uncomfortable than death? The staggering Collei was stopped by the Knights when she walked to the gate of Mondstadt. First of all, the city is now preparing to escort the diplomats of the Fatui. Secondly, she was wrapped in bandages and had a strange smell on her body. No matter how you look at it, she is a person suffering from a serious illness. If such people were allowed to enter the city at will, it would probably cause riots. Especially now that it was the eve of the Ludi Harpastum Festival, if tourists were to suffer from strange diseases because of her, it would be a terrible disaster for Mondstadt. It was at this time that the convoy escorting the Fatui left Mondstadt. Looking at the slowly moving carriage, Cole subconsciously wanted to make way. But after noticing the Fatui logo on the carriage, her eyes changed. Her originally lavender eyes turned deep red. The pitch-black flames condensed into the form of a giant snake, instantly engulfing the entire carriage. "Fire...fire?" How could the two pampered Fatui diplomats have ever experienced such a thing? When they tried to leave the carriage with the research materials, they found that the door had been locked and could not be opened at all. So the two people, along with the full carriage of materials, were burned to ashes by this strange black fire, leaving not much valuable things. And Collei also took this opportunity to enter Mondstadt. "Finally... I'm in..." Seeing the familiar sign, she couldn't help herself and used that power in public. But its side effects were also affecting her. Stumbling and hiding in an empty alley, Collei covered her head and forced herself not to listen to the whispering in her mind. She knew that if she listened to the whispering, she would not only fail to seek revenge on the missionary, but she might also completely lose herself and become a madman who only knew how to kill. Suddenly, the voice that had been tormenting her disappeared, and the surroundings instantly became quiet. Collei didn't know what was going on until... she saw the dark figure at the entrance of the alley. ________________________________________ Hello my dear readers, I noticed that I am not getting power stones.
