"I... I will." The girl's lips kept trembling, and it was unclear whether it was because of fear or anger.
"Swish!" Three pairs of wings appeared on the girl's back. Then she flapped her wings slightly, and the next moment she appeared next to a black knife.
"Stop—" Even though she knew the other party wouldn't listen, the girl still yelled angrily. Her voice was so hoarse that it didn't sound like a human voice.
Heidao's figure disappeared again. Now she only knew how to kill people, but killing ordinary people was definitely easier than killing girls.
"I won't let you go!" The girl said in a hoarse voice as she felt the aura of the black knife dissipate.
Then her wings began to flap, and rich fire elemental power began to gather.
"Boom!" A violent firestorm swirled around the girl. The temperature was so high that it melted the ground below, where there were no buildings, into lava.
"Ah!" A painful scream came from the air. Under this level of power, Black Blade, who had lost his mind and only had instinct left, could not hold on at all.
The raging flames found their target and rushed towards it. In just a few moments, the black knife was reduced to ashes.
"There are ten left." The girl took a deep breath, then looked at the other black knives who were still killing in the distance.
Ordinary Fatui soldiers were useless in front of the full-powered Black Sabre. Even if they used their evil eyes to burn their lives, they would only live a few more seconds.
But at this moment, something strange happened!
An extremely powerful aura came from the sky, freezing everything in Winter City.
The black knife was raised and about to be swung, the soldiers with ferocious faces, the residents who fled in panic...
Everything was frozen, including the girl flying in the sky.
Then a strange scene appeared, and the girl saw that everything in Winterfell began to flow backwards.
She saw the black knife she had killed come back to life, the diffuse black flames dissipated, and the ashes in the sky reconstituted houses and lives. The morning turned into night again, and the dead people were resurrected again.
The girl was like a bystander, watching her body being pulled like a puppet, repeating the previous moments.
Summoning a firestorm, causing Black Blade to lose his memory, a battle of mutual testing... the scenes that just happened were replayed in reverse in front of the girl's eyes.
In the end, it all froze in a certain scene.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. The puppet is at your disposal. As long as you promise to leave until winter afterwards." The rooster's voice filled with laughter came.
The girl suddenly came to her senses and found that she could control her body. She touched her veil and opened her eyes.
She looked around and felt that everything was so beautiful. The treacherous rooster was good, the thoughtful servant was good, and the black knife who regained his memory was also good.
"I have no objection!" As soon as the rooster finished speaking, the girl's cheerful voice sounded again.
The puppet widened its eyes, as if it couldn't believe that the girl said such words.
The rooster and the servants also looked at the girl in surprise. They had never seen her so happy. Usually, she always kept her eyes closed and seemed nonchalant about everything.
Now, his eyes were open and he was smiling. The rooster and the servant exchanged glances, and then both shook their heads slightly, not knowing what was going on.
But they soon stopped caring. The first three members of the Fatui were all incomprehensible. The girl was acceptable.
"Haha, it seems that you fools are very heartless. You treat the soldiers the same way, and you treat the worthless executive officers the same way."
As Black Knife spoke, he cut out one eighth of the puppet's soul. Then he threw her and the unconscious soldier at the servant's feet.
"Bye, take care, I'm going back to sleep!" The girl saw the familiar scene in front of her, and was afraid that something unexpected would happen. So after saying this, she immediately ran out without looking back.
Everyone present, except Heidao, looked as if they had seen a ghost. Was the girl such an executive? Was the three-no girl before a fake?
"It seems that there are some strange guys among your executives." Heidao looked at the direction where the girl left, chuckled a few times, and disappeared.
The factory was quiet for a while, but soon it became noisy again - servants pulled puppets and soldiers out, kicking stragglers.
The sunlight shining on the servant made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Isn't tonight's night a little too short?" the servant muttered to himself, then shook his head and continued walking away.
……
"Burn, burn, burn! Burn me to death!" In the Fruit Wine Lake, the embers were lying on the bottom of the lake. Steam kept rising around him, dyeing the surroundings pure white.
Yu Jin felt very strange. In the past, he felt dizzy due to such overload, but now his head was no longer dizzy, but his body was burning.
It's okay that his body is hot, but the key is that he can actually feel pain! This... this is really great! I wish I could taste it someday.
After rolling at the bottom of the lake for a while, Yu Jin felt that this was not going well. His body was in so much pain that he could hardly move.
So he calmed down and came to the original furnace.
"Xiaoyou, I know you have hidden something, can you take it out and burn it?"
"No, my Lord. I am nothing but a shell now, as I swear to heaven and earth."
"You don't want to listen to nice words, right? Don't force me to do anything forceful!"
“Stop, stop, stop turning it over! They both have it too!”
"Huh? Are you all playing nice?" Yu Jin turned his head and looked at Dian Huo and Putuo who were watching the show nearby, and rubbed his hands.
Then the initial stove became lively again after a long time.
Chapter 122: Tevarin's Past

"Splash!" In the center of the Fruit Wine Lake, a figure suddenly floated up from the bottom of the water. If other people saw this scene, they might think that a water monster had emerged from the Fruit Wine Lake.
In fact, this figure is the ashes of a corpse that has been lying at the bottom of the lake for a long time.
At this moment, he was chewing a piece of black muddy substance with great effort, which was dotted with a bit of madness and corruption.
"Pah! It's like eating dirt!" Yu Jin chewed for a long time, but it was useless. So he impatiently stuffed the whole lump of mud into his mouth.
Then he began to worry. The First Fire needs to burn the soul, the Deep requires the precipitation of human nature, the Mad Fire craves pain, and corruption accumulates in stagnation.
What about me? I can't go and rob Youshen and the others of their "private money" every day, right?
Actually, this is not bad! Yu Jin suddenly stopped worrying. He felt that his recovery still needed the efforts of Youshen and the others.
In a good mood, Yu Jian waved his arms, splashing a large amount of water. Soon, in a white field, Yu Jian returned to the shore.
Then he walked back to Mond and began to wander around.
Ever since Kaeya and his men cut off the source of the dragon storm's power two days ago, Mond's sky has become clear again.
At the same time, Mondstadt, which had been quiet for a long time, became much more lively. The small vendors who had disappeared began to come and go in and out of Mondstadt again, and the residents also took to the streets after a long absence.
Of course, this also includes the embers that have nothing to do.
After a while, Yu Jin arrived at the Wind God Square. Actually, there was nothing to see in Mondstadt. There were only two squares that were crowded. The rest was really nothing worth seeing.
The huge statue of the god of wind still stood, and the dragon disaster that swept through the entire city of Mondstadt did not leave any traces on it. He clasped his hands and looked into the distance as usual.
However, quite a few people gathered under the statue of the God of Wind at this moment, including Ying and Paimon who had just walked out of the Knights.
Paimon floated beside Ying, flying up and then falling down, which made Yujin curious about how high Paimon could fly.
"Very good, we've cut off the source of the storm, a great feat." Yu Jin also squeezed over and patted Ying's shoulder.
"Hmm? Senior?" Ying turned around and saw Yu Jin standing beside her, staring at Wendy.
"Hehe, of course! Ying is super awesome, super awesome!" Paimeng was happier to hear someone praising Ying than to hear others praising himself.
Yu Jin looked at Paimeng who was constantly flying in front of him, reached out and flicked her forehead, then said jokingly:
"Since Ying is so powerful, then you as a guide should be even more powerful, right?"
"Uh..." Paimon covered her forehead, not even asking about the embers hitting her head. Paimon had never been in a fight before, and when she met an enemy, she hid faster than anyone else.
This kind of thing must not be known to other people, otherwise would Paimeng's reputation be lost?
"Paimon's combat power is one-fifth of that of a wild boar!" Ying saw that Paimon was embarrassed to speak, and decisively betrayed her.
"Who said that! Have you ever seen me fight? At least... at least two-fifths of a wild boar!" Paimon stomped his feet and argued with Ying angrily.
"You two have such a good relationship." Yu Jin exclaimed.
"Of course, Ying and I endured the hardships of living outdoors for two months before we finally made it to Mondstadt!" Paimon put his hands on his hips with pride, although he didn't know what there was to be proud of.
Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she flew to Yu Jin and said, "Ying is also an adventurer now, don't bully her just because you are a senior!"
"Oh? Welcome, welcome! If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me." Yu Jin was just surprised when he heard it. He didn't expect that the association's work would resume so quickly.
The dragon disaster had just been eliminated and he was already eager to recruit people. Yes, it was consistent with his impression of Serius.
"Of course. I'll have to trouble you a lot in the future!" Ying nodded with a smile. She was very happy to make a friend and senior like Yu Jin.
"Cough cough cough!" Just when Yu Jin, Ying and Paimon were chatting happily, a loud cough was heard.
Wendy saw the real master coming, so he stopped waiting. He plucked his harp and began to tell the ancient story with the melodious sound.
"The story I am going to tell begins in ancient times, when the gods still walked the earth..."
"The Wind Singer played his harp, and the Sky Harp answered his questions one by one..."
"The dark age is coming, when the lion's fangs are rotten and the eagle's flag is not raised..."
"The sky dragon swallowed the poisonous blood of the evil dragon and fell into a deep sleep. Many years later, no one recognized him when he revived..."
……
The sound of the piano was sometimes melodious and lively, and sometimes deep and rhythmic. In conjunction with Wendy's tone, a legend from the ancient times emerged in everyone's mind.
After listening to this, Yu Jin felt deeply moved. It turned out that the big guy had such a tragic past, which made him feel a little guilty.
Then he led the applause. Twalin's miserable experience was different from Wendy's first-rate storytelling. She told the story so well that he had to show his appreciation.
"Here, tell me next time you tell a story, and I'll come to listen." Yu Jin stuffed a handful of Mora into Wendy's pocket.
"Thank you!" Wendy's eyes couldn't stop twitching. The good atmosphere was completely ruined by this guy Yu Jin.
Yu Jin's behavior was considered to be an opening, and everyone present applauded. Some people with spare money also imitated Yu Jin's actions and stuffed Mora into Wendy's pocket.
This also includes Ying and Paimon. Paimon even strongly asked Ying to give her pocket money in advance so that he could personally deliver Mora to Wendy's pocket.
When everyone left, Wendy's pockets were already bulging with Mora, enough to buy several bottles of fine wine!
"Huh..." Wendy calmed down her inner urge to hit someone, smiled, and said to Ying who had not left yet:
"Oh... Yeah! That was the person who scared Tevarin away at that time."
"Twalin? Who?"
