"Goodbye, everyone." With Aleto's farewell, all the black swords walked into the space crack.
After hearing Aleto's farewell, everyone couldn't help but smile. Black Knife has changed a lot.
"Who are these two..." Looking at the tired Patch and the other two, Godwin asked the question of everyone present.
In fact, he had wanted to ask this question since the meeting just now, but because the content of the meeting was too explosive, and the influence of summoning the Black Blades, he only had time to ask it now.
"Friends of your king." The Supreme Will gave the completely opposite identity without blushing or heart beating.
“As for this person…” The Supreme Will looked at Melina and the others and wisely shut up.
The Fire Keeper saw that everyone's eyes were turned to her, so she said softly, "Me? I should be considered your king's companion."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone turned to look at Patch.
Enormous pressure fell on Patch. He looked at the anxious and eager eyes of Melina and the others, and then at the Fire Keeper who was waving her index finger at him.
"Uh... don't look at me, I don't know--" Before he could finish his words, Patch ran away, taking Godwin and Supreme Will with him.
Seeing Patch's performance, Melina and the others knew that Ember had no partner at all.
The three women looked at each other and thought that a troublesome guy had arrived.
……
The space tunnel is weird and chaotic, with all kinds of bizarre space fragments covered with crazy fantasies.
It's a pity that Heidao has already carved into his heart what to see and what not to see. Those ravings and madness have not affected these assassins hidden in the dark at all.
After an unknown amount of time, all the madness and chaos gradually dissipated, and a faint light appeared before Heidao's eyes.
After a moment of trance, the Black Sabres found themselves standing on a field. Not far in front of them was a huge city. This was Mondstadt, one of the seven kingdoms. It seemed that Patch's methods were still effective.
The moment they came to their senses, the figures of the black swords disappeared. Their concealment skills can be said to be the best in the border area.
"The breath of the king." This time the voice was not from Aleto, but from another Black Blade.
In front of others, it is always Aleto who speaks, while in front of their own people and the king, the other black swords will speak.
"Jiu, that's good. I thought your perception would become slack in peace." A silver bell-like chuckle came from the mouth of another Black Blade.
"Not everyone likes fighting as much as you do. The king wants you to change, San." Jiu retorted without giving in.
"Tsk~, the king also asked me to protect him." San didn't care at all.
"Okay, it's time to get down to business." Aleto spoke as the first and the leader of the Black Blade.
All of a sudden, the restless Black Knives quieted down. When it comes to serious matters, Black Knives are never vague.
Aleto looked around and made a decision in his mind.
"Jiu and I will be responsible for finding out the power comparison of the various forces in this city."
"Lu and Qi are responsible for observing the operation of the city's internal defense facilities and the patrol personnel schedule."
"Two, three, four, five, ten, spread out and find out the number of people gathered around the city and their attitudes towards this city. Also, collect some basic information about this world."
"Eight and Eleven, you are responsible for finding out the flow of people in this city."
After arranging everything, Aleto said to the restless people, "The king should leave for now. Before he gives the order, follow the principle of minimizing the intensity of the conflict. Disperse!"
As Aleto finished her words, Jiu was the only one in her sight. The black swordsmen's stealth skills were so hidden that even they themselves could not detect them.
However, she had already expected this, and without any surprise, she and Jiu ran towards Mondstadt in the distance.
……
When they arrived in Mond, the first thing Eight and Eleven did was to jump on the roofs of Mond.
As rare people, even women are more than two meters tall. The dagger in their hands is a dagger to them, but a short sword to ordinary people.
But even so, there would be no sound when they landed on the roof.
They were the Black Blades, who had sneaked into the core of the border city to assassinate Godwin without being discovered.
Of course, this was only before the assassination. They were discovered after the assassination, and the Black Knifemen suffered heavy casualties.
Eight looked at Shiyi jumping in front of her, and her mind couldn't help but be filled with thoughts. Shiyi had once accompanied the king in battles as ashes, but in the end, her soul did not return to the tree, but was reborn instead.
Just as Eight was daydreaming, Eleven in front of him suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong? Is there any special situation?" Eight asked Shiyi who was beside him.
"The body created by the king." Shiyi stared at Tina who was busy at the flower stall below and said lightly.
"Really? Just pay more attention. Maybe we can have a chat after the mission is completed." Ba looked at Tina, and the beautiful face under the veil smiled.
Shiyi nodded. She was just a little excited after seeing Wang's traces.
While the Black Blades were busy figuring out Mondstadt, a new storm was brewing in the Goethe Hotel.
"Don't cross the line, Alechino!" The lady looked at the servant opposite her with an unfriendly tone. This guy actually came all the way to Mondstadt.
"What do you mean by crossing the line? I just came to see my children." The servant sat opposite the lady and was not at all frightened by her words.
"It's really interesting, how long has it been? It seems that there have been no traitors in the Hearthside House for decades, did the children forget my method?" The servant bit his finger, and the scarlet eyes flashed A hint of red light.
"Do you want to take action against Tina?" The lady narrowed her eyes and looked at the servant.
"Oh? You actually know the child's name? That's rare." The servant seemed to have discovered something interesting and stared at the lady.
"I'm just giving you a piece of advice. It's best not to use your so-called 'tricks' here." The lady was not someone who was afraid of trouble. She looked directly into the eyes of the servant.
"Really? I want to try everything you said." The more the lady warned her, the stronger her curiosity became.
"Pfft-" Unexpectedly, the lady burst out laughing when she heard the servant's words.She said to the servant in front of her:
"You and I are just like you. For hundreds of years, you have relied on your strength and status to travel freely. It seems that you have forgotten what reverence is?"
"Seeing as we are barely colleagues, I'll give you a few words."
"First, don't break the rules."
"Second, if you meet a man wearing full body armor, don't cut him three times."
The lady held up two fingers to the servant and said faintly.
Thanks to Badao Tianzun, _Be, Mengxinyituan, and Xihushui for their monthly tickets!
Chapter 55 The King's Blessing
2023-08-28
As he walked out of the Goethe Hotel, the servant's mind once again echoed with the lady's words.
"Haha, you're really going backwards as you get older." The servant looked at Mond in the sunset and didn't take the lady's warning seriously.
"Well, it's time to go see Tina. The flower stall should be closing up now." People returning home kept passing by the servant, and she was looking to see if Tina was there.
But she was disappointed. Tina was not among those who returned home, and even the place where Tina usually set up her stall was deserted.
"Is it simply early? Or has she noticed something?" The servant lowered his head and chuckled, then walked towards a street. There is no escape, Mondstadt has her eyes everywhere.
"Knock, knock, knock!" There was a slow and rhythmic knock on the door. Tina was a little confused. It was dinner time, who would come to see her?
Although she felt a little resentful about being disturbed during her dinner, she felt much better when she thought about the two flower lovers she met today who bought all her flowers.
"Here I come!" Tina opened the door with brisk steps, but her smile froze when she saw the person coming.
"Tina Xuenetsevna, it seems that you are living a good life after leaving the Fatui." The silver-haired woman stood in front of the door, and the shadow cast by her tall figure covered Tina's entire body.
Servant... sir? After the initial shock, Tina was calmer than she expected.
Looking at the darkness that enveloped her, Tina suddenly laughed. She had walked out of hell and repaid the purposeful favor of Zhidong through the filth of her previous life. It seemed that she did not owe the woman in front of her anything.
As for the pain, the thirty years of calcination were still echoing in its mind, and she didn't think there was anything more horrible than this punishment.
"Yes, I'm a servant. Since you're an executive, I'll call you Servant-sama." Tina faced the shadow with a flower-like smile.
"So, servant, what do you want to do for me? Do you want to order flowers for the children? If so, I don't charge you." Tina bent down and made a gesture for her to come in. The light returned to her again, and her smile became even brighter.
The servant heard Tina's confident and clear words, and saw the bright smile on her face. An inexplicable sense of fear surged in his heart.
The person in front of me, except for her appearance, is completely different from the previous Tina. She is kind, sunny and full of love.
It was precisely because the servant knew Tina from the past that she felt even more terrified. Except for her appearance, everything else was different. So was this person still the same person?
"What on earth have you been through?" The servant stared at Tina in front of her with scarlet eyes. She didn't understand that she should have absolute control over the children of the Lubi Family.
But now she couldn't see through Tina in front of her at all.
"Me?" Tina didn't seem to expect the servant to ask this. She lowered her head and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I just went to heaven and washed away the filth on my body."
Heaven? The servant's pupils shrank slightly. It was the first time she heard such a strange expression. Was it true? Or was it her own imagination?
But she soon regained her confidence. Even if there were many mysteries about Tina, she was now just an ordinary person without even the evil eye, and she was not even qualified to fight.
A red light flashed in her eyes, and the servant's aura suddenly became fierce. She looked at Tina who had already started walking back to the courtyard, and said without any emotion:
"Tina Schnetzwich, you should know the consequences of leaving the Fatui!"
Tina paused in the distance, then turned around and said nonchalantly: "I know, but unfortunately I have already walked into the sunlight. If you let me be contaminated by filth again, I'm sorry, I would rather die!"
After saying the last sentence, Tina opened her arms with a smile. She knew this day would come, but as she said, being stained by filth is worse than death.
"In that case, then goodbye!" A flash of scarlet burst out from the servant's hand and stabbed towards Tina not far away.
"Sizzle" a corrosive sound was heard, and two tall women appeared in front of Tina. The scarlet attack on them only produced a puff of green smoke, and nothing happened.
The two women seemed to be larger than humans, and Tina could only reach a little above her waist in front of them.
What was even more bizarre was that they were covered in silver-white full-body armor, the snow-white soft armor outlined their plump and slender figures. The light gauze behind the armor added a touch of agility and lightness to them.
It is a pity that their faces are hidden in a dark veil, which can only inspire endless reverie.
However, what was a bit disappointing was that there were a lot of flowers inserted on the two women's silver-white armor, which was out of tune with their solemn atmosphere.
"Haha, Shiyi, do you want to do it or should I?" Eight looked at the servant in front of him with a vigilant face and let out a pleasant chuckle.
"Come on, I'm fast and can save people." Shiyi pulled out the flowers that were inserted into his armor by Baqiang, and jumped onto the roof of Li's house with Tina in his arms.
"Servant? What a strange title?" Eight looked at the servant in front of him who was wearing a silver-white suit and couldn't help but curl his lips.
Wearing this kind of clothes to fight? Is it because he didn't get beaten enough or is it because he is too confident in himself?
"You're not bad either, 8? That's a lame word." Looking at the tall woman who suddenly appeared in front of him, the servant felt a little confused.
