"It's nothing, just look at their transactions. If I guess correctly, they should have traded several times." Eula shook her head and didn't say much.
The physical matter can be investigated later, but the most urgent task now is to find out the source of those potions and what the family and the Fatui are up to.
"Is your potion really effective? There didn't seem to be any change after I drank it last time." Schubert took a look at the potion in the wooden box, feeling a little confused.
"Are you questioning the lady's credibility?" The Fatui glanced at the Thunder Hammer and Wind Fist behind them.
The two understood what he meant and walked forward. Then they picked up a bottle of purple and a bottle of green potion and drank them.
After drinking, they also showed off their muscles.
Looking at the muscles of Thunder Hammer and Wind Fist that were thicker than his thighs, Schubert couldn't help swallowing. It would be great if he also had such power.
"Do you know why our Fatui soldiers are so strong?" the Fatui on the opposite side spoke.
Schubert shook his head.
"It's because of this potion! After drinking it, sixty-year-olds become thirty-year-olds, forty-year-olds become twenty-year-olds, and twenty-year-olds become... uh."
"Ten years old," Schubert added, adding that he still knew how to do the math.
"It means the power is doubled." Feng Quan on the side corrected.
"Yes, the strength doubles at the age of twenty!" The Fatui opposite Schubert nodded, almost revealing the truth.
"Then why do you want to trade with us?" Schubert asked again. Why would the Fatui trade with them for such a confidential item?
He must have been moved by Lawrence's glory!
The Fools looked at Schubert, who seemed to be so arrogant for some unknown reason, and thought that he was sick.
But he is a big fat man after all... oh no, a big customer, so it is necessary to meet his requirements.
Everyone's operating expenses and wages depend on him. Thinking of this, the Fatui's eyes softened.
Who can refuse someone who gives them money?
"Ahem!" The Fatui cleared their throats and explained, "We are moved by the fighting spirit of your Lawrence family, and we share the same goal. We all want to strike back at, or even destroy, the Knights. Therefore, it is necessary and worthwhile to give you some help."
Schubert nodded. Indeed, to some extent, their goals were indeed the same. Then he asked, "I have another question..."
"No? Why are you so busy?"
"The last one."
"You ask." The Fatui nodded helplessly. Just indulge him on the last question.
"Even if the strength of our Lawrence family has greatly increased, compared with the Knights, this strength..."
"Don't worry about that!" The Fatui waved his hand and said, "Do you know why our asking price was so high the last few times?"
Schubert lowered his head and thought. Indeed, the price of the potion was ridiculously high in the previous times. It almost consumed most of the Lawrence family's cash flow. Why is the price so low this time?
"That's because the lady was testing you in the past few times! Now you have proven your determination to overthrow the Knights."
The Fool opposite Schubert patted his chest and continued, "Now the lady has considered you as our allies. You should be secretly happy that you can get such an honor just by relying on some material possessions."
"Really?" Schubert was a little excited after hearing this. If it was true as this guy said, and he could get in touch with the executive officer just by doing this, then he was really lucky!
"We, the Fatui, will definitely help you when the time comes." The Fatui nodded. He just said that, and anyone who believed it would be a fool.
"Hahaha! It seems that Lawrence's glory will finally come to Mond a thousand years later!" Schubert laughed loudly towards the sky.
The image of the Knights Templar’s flag being replaced with the Lawrence family crest appeared before his eyes!
Schubert was excited, the Fatui were happy, but Ember, Kaeya, and Eula were confused.
"Is this really the Fatui?" Yu Jin looked at Kaia, then at Eula, "Is your uncle not very smart?"
As he spoke, Ember nodded his head, implying that there was something wrong with Schubert's brain.
"It should be... it should be the Fatui." Kaeya twitched his lips as he looked at the Thunder Hammer and Wind Fist showing off their muscles.
"My uncle is just blinded by the desire to revive the family. He is normally normal." After saying this, Eula recalled her uncle's usual behavior and suddenly felt guilty.
"Well, it seems that he is not normal in his usual state." Eula glanced at Schubert who was still laughing, and covered her forehead.
"Okay, let's take action. We can catch the criminal red-handed." Kaiya observed the surrounding environment and felt relieved.
It seems that these guys are so relaxed that they didn't even leave a way out for themselves. Now, as long as they come out, they can be caught in the jar.
After saying that, Kaeya picked up his one-handed sword and rushed forward.
"Oh, I have to disturb you all. This is not a good place to discuss business. Why don't you come with me to the Knights' Order?"
"It's spacious and bright there, and there's free tea. No matter how long we talk, you don't have to worry about being dry-mouthed." Kaia made a sword move, pointing the tip of the sword at the two people not far away.
"Captain of the Knights Templar? How is that possible? How did you come here?" Schubert took a few steps back in panic, but when he thought that he now had the support of the Fatui, he calmed down.
"Hmph, it looks like some bugs are following us." The faces of the Fatui on the opposite side darkened. There would be no good consequences for disturbing the Fatui's good deeds.
He glanced at the soldier standing behind him. The latter understood what he meant and strode forward without panic to look Kaia in the face.
Kaiya took a quick look and saw that there were quite a lot of people, two standard teams, more than a dozen people. If he were alone, it would be difficult to handle.
But he also has companions.
"Uncle, don't be stubborn. Come back with me and try to get leniency!" Eula advised Schubert opposite her, dragging a sword as graceful as a harp.
No matter what happened to Schubert, he was still her uncle, and if possible, she didn't want to turn her sword against him.
"You..., Eula! Kill that cavalry captain next to you, and I can still forgive you for betraying your family." Schubert was immediately annoyed when he saw Eula was there.
He is truly the scum of the family, actually helping outsiders!
"And me!" A black shadow jumped up from behind Eula. It was the finale of the show, Ember!
"Give up! You can't escape!" Yu Jin shouted. Then he saw the Fatui on the opposite side really put down their weapons and raised their hands.
"We surrender!"
“???”×4.
Chapter 136 Schubert Loses
2023-08-28
"What...what?" Schubert saw the Fatui behind him surrender immediately and was unable to react for a moment.
Aren't the Fatui the most powerful organization on the continent? Why did they surrender so quickly? There are only three people on the other side, but they have more than a dozen people!
Not to mention Schubert, even Yu Jin and the others didn't react. Isn't "surrendering" a routine matter? Why did they actually listen to it!
This time, Yu Jin couldn't do anything.
"Are they really the Fatui?" Eula was a little unsure as she looked at the Fatui who raised their hands in surrender.
Shouldn't the Fatui fight back? Why are they so smart this time?
“Should…, it should be.” Kaeya was also a little uncertain. The Fatui’s behavior before him was completely different from before.
This was the first time he had seen the Fatui raise their hands in surrender.
"Aren't you the Fatui? Come on! Everything will be fine if we take care of these guys!" Schubert looked at the Fatui who was trading with him and shouted.
Unexpectedly, the fool suddenly shuddered and immediately said righteously:
"Who are you calling the Fools? We are the Treasure Stealers!"
As he spoke, he took off his mask and put on a veil. The soldiers behind him followed suit and put on veils as well.
They looked like a group of treasure-hunting gangs wearing Fatui uniforms, and some of them were overnourished.
After doing all this, the leader of the Fatui heaved a sigh of relief. Madam, you can emphasize again and again that if you encounter a guy wearing armor, you don't have to do anything, just surrender immediately and cut off all ties with the Fatui.
Now it seems that he has completed the task perfectly! Madam, I have lived up to your expectations!
Looking at the self-admiring Fools in front of him, Yu Jin walked up and took a blue gun from a fat man.
"Who are you trying to fool? How can the treasure-hunting group do this?" Yu Jin pointed the gun at the leader of the Fatui.
The treasure-stealing group is full of idiots who only do tricks of cheating and deceiving. How could a group of rabble have such sophisticated equipment?
"Fake." The fat man behind Yu Jin said in a muffled voice. Then he put down his hands, walked to Yu Jin and pressed the trigger.
"Sizzle——" A smooth stream of water spurted out from the muzzle of the gun, waking up the guy who was still feeling moved by himself.
"Wow, this is quite fun." Yu Jin thought this thing was very novel, so he took this real water gun and started splashing it around.
The leader of the Fatui saw that Yu Jin was having a lot of fun and a smile appeared on his face.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to replace all the weapons with children's toys, otherwise, he would have been exposed just now.
"You...you..."
"What do you mean? Don't you know the treasure-stealing group? We are good at cheating and deceiving us. Who told you to be so stupid?" The leader of the Fatui snorted coldly. Anyway, the value of the Lawrence family had been squeezed dry, and there was no need to accommodate them anymore.
When Schubert heard the words of the leader of the Fatui, he suddenly felt dizzy. No matter how stupid he was, he understood that the Fatui were simply taking advantage of the Lawrence family.
Schubert took a few steps back, holding his chest, and looked at Eula hopefully, "Eula, hurry up! Get rid of these guys! They are bringing shame to Lawrence!"
Eula is the most talented descendant of the Lawrence family. At a young age, she passed the family's trials and obtained the "Ice Seal". This honor has only been possessed by a few people in the Lawrence family for thousands of years.
With this power, Eula can defend the glory of the Lawrence family as long as she can turn over a new leaf!
Schubert thought so, but unfortunately all he got in return was Eula's shaking head.
"Uncle, come back with me. The glory of the Lawrence family is long gone. Don't have any more unrealistic dreams."
"You traitor! How could our family produce such a traitor like you!" Schubert became even angrier when he saw Eula refuse.
When Eula saw Schubert puffing his beard and glaring, she also felt a little angry.
"Angry? Do you think you won't lose your temper? You are a member of the Lawrence family, yet you are still doing something that threatens Mond's safety!"
"Your so-called family glory is nothing but trouble for others!"
"You actually..."
"Okay! Let's cool down a bit!" A gust of cold mist swept over, calming down the two angry men a little.
Kaia looked at Eula and Schubert who had calmed down and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that his skills in mediating quarrels were still quite good.
"Tell me a word next time you use a skill. You almost froze my water gun." Yu Jin also came over, holding a water gun in his hand.
"Now it's time to talk business." Kaia pushed the ember aside without changing his expression, walked to the big box, took out a blue and white potion, and said with narrowed eyes:
