Chapter 876: The brother acts as a piggy bank and the sister acts as a "gas filter canister&quo
Just then, the sound of footsteps on the snow broke the silence in the camp.
Sora and Deinsleb looked towards the source of the sound at the same time, only to see Kaeya walking into the camp with a relaxed look on his face.
As soon as he smelled the aroma of barbecue in the air, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Sorry to bother you. Wow, it smells so good, is it barbecue? If I had known, I would have brought a bottle of wine."
Kong looked at Kaia's arrival and couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.
He glared at Kaiya and said unhappily, "What are you doing here? You want to persuade me again..."
However, before Kong could finish his words, his eyes were suddenly drawn to a figure behind Kaia.
She was a tall woman wearing a hooded cloak. Her face was covered by the hood, making it impossible to see her true appearance.
Kong frowned tightly, and said with a little displeasure in his tone: "My Abyss Cult camp is not your Mondstadt tavern. Why do you bring everyone to my place?"
As Kong complained, the woman slowly took off her hood, revealing her stern and stunning face.
Alechino introduced herself elegantly: "Hello, it's our first meeting. Please allow me to make a brief self-introduction."
"I am Alechino, the fourth of the Fatui executive officers, known as 'servant'. This time, I came here to discuss something with you about Ying."
However, before Kong could respond, Dainsleb, who was standing next to him, suddenly changed his expression and interrupted, "Wait! The aura on you... feels familiar to me. Are you related to Kanreya in any way?"
Upon hearing this, Alechino took a quick look at Deinsleb's appearance, and responded with a diplomat's demeanor, "Oh? It looks like you are Deinsleb."
"I heard the clown mention you, the 'Sword of the Last Light' of the last palace guard..."
Dainsleb narrowed his eyes, stared at Arlechino, and continued to ask:
"Don't change the subject. Answer me, what is your relationship with the 'Reformatory' in Kanreya?"
Alechino was not surprised by Dainsleb's question. She shook her head slightly and explained calmly: "I don't know anything about the 'correctional institution' in Kanreya."
"However, Harlequin once told me that my bloodline is indeed connected to the Red Moon Dynasty of Kanreya... In other words, I am indeed an orphan of the Red Moon Dynasty."
Then, Arlecchino's eyes fell on Sora, and the scene of Piero's conversation with her before leaving quickly flashed through her mind.
"The Harlequin told me about you before I came here," said Alecino slowly.
"In the Kanreya period, the astrologers of the Deep Secret Academy called out to the sky. Then, two stars descended. And you, Sora, became the crown prince of Kanreya, and at the same time, the storage tank of the abyss power..."
Sora felt annoyed when he heard Arlecino mention his past.
This was also the reason why he was so angry when Shao Yun told him in the Xumi Desert that Ying was going to be used as a gas filter by the Seven Gods.
Furthermore, he cooperated with Shao Yun to complete the plan of The Loom of Destiny.
I act as a piggy bank and my sister acts as a "gas filter". Who the hell can stand this?
"I don't want to talk about the past anymore! If you are just trying to get close to me, please leave immediately!"
Seeing that Kong was so determined, Alechino stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Well, since you don't want to talk about the past, let's talk about how to get the Wind God to release your sister and niece."
As soon as he finished speaking, Alecino quickly added: "I hope to talk to you alone."
However, before she finished her words, the Abyss Apostle, Torrent, immediately protested loudly:
A remnant of the Red Moon Dynasty wants to have a private chat with His Royal Highness the Prince of the Black Sun Dynasty? How is this different from the anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty?
What do you think this is? A place with high mountains and rivers, a scene of eternal beauty. The gate faces the sea, and the water of three rivers flows for thousands of years? Get out of here!
"Don't even think about it! Either you tell us directly in front of us how to rescue His Royal Highness's blood relatives, or get out of here immediately!"
Alechino crossed his arms and said calmly, "When we were in Fontaine, the room full of milk powder and diapers in the house where Shao Yun and Ying lived were all provided by me."
"Besides, my relationship with Shao Yun is pretty good." Alechino continued, "I have no reason to harm you, right?"
After hearing what Alechino said, Sora recalled the scene he saw in that room.
That room full of milk powder and diapers. Sora still remembered that Funagami had mentioned this to him at the time... So she was Arlecino...
Sora was silent for a moment, then nodded and said to Alecino, "Okay, I believe you."
Then, he turned to the others and ordered, "Everyone else, please leave first."
However, the Abyss Apostle, Torrent, advised earnestly: "Your Highness, you must not underestimate the enemy! What if this woman really wants to harm you?"
(Ripple: Your Highness, have you forgotten that Emperor Yongzheng was assassinated by Lu Siniang?)
(Kong: Sorry, buddy.)
Alechino looked at the Abyss Apostle Torrent beside Kong and said calmly, "Don't worry, I'm not as stupid as the Wind God. I don't want to be on Shao Yun's wanted list!"
When the Abyss Apostle Torrent heard Alecino mention the God of Wind, the scene of himself being killed by Shao Yun suddenly flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but shudder.
"Well, that's fine... But, if anything really happens to Your Highness, I will never let you, a remnant of the previous dynasty, go!"
Before leaving, the Abyss Apostle Torrent did not forget to threaten Alecino viciously.
After Kong's men temporarily withdrew, Kaeya and Dainsleb also left one after another, and the entire camp of the Abyss Cult suddenly became empty, with only Alecino left.
Alechino stood there expressionlessly. After a moment's silence, she slowly took out a letter from her bosom.
The letter looked quite exquisite, and the emblem of the Queen of Winter was printed on the envelope.
Alechino held the letter in front of her and said, "This is a handwritten letter from the Queen of Winter, asking me to pass it on to the God of Wind."
"I don't know exactly what's in the letter, but I think it might make the Wind God change his mind."
Kong was not interested in what method the God of Ice used to persuade the God of Wind. He just wanted to know what Alecino's purpose in looking for him was.
"I don't care what method you use, or what is written in this letter. I just want to know why you come to see me."
Alechino was not surprised by Sora's reaction and said without disguising, "I need to see the God of Wind. Do you have any ideas?"
Sora shook his head and replied, "No. As long as my brother-in-law doesn't save Natta, Barbatos will never return to Mondstadt."
"Instead of wasting time here, you might as well take your people to Nata to help."
When Alechino heard this, he seriously suspected that the Wind God had run away. He couldn't find his 'enemy' or his 'relatives', which was highly consistent with him running away...
Alecino turned to Kaia's suggestion and asked tentatively: "Perhaps you can consider temporarily stopping the snowstorm in the past few days. In this way, the God of Wind..."
However, before she could finish her words, Kong suddenly interrupted her like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and shouted fiercely: "This is absolutely impossible!"
Seeing this, Alecino quickly explained: "I didn't come here for Mondstadt. I just need to communicate with the God of Wind! Don't you want to see your sister?"
Kong smiled sadly, becoming more and more agitated.
"Of course I love my sister, but my brother-in-law and I agree completely, that is, the Wind God must die!"
Alechino saw that Kong was just as irritable as Shao Yun and wanted to kill someone so badly, and thought to himself that if they were not from the same family, they would not marry in the same house...
However, if you think about it carefully, it is understandable. After all, the man's sister was kidnapped, and the brother did not raze the entire Mondstadt to the ground, which was quite sensible...
Alechino shook her head helplessly and tried her best to convey the Ice God's thoughts to Sora.
"We should at least leave the Wind God a chance to survive. This is the only request of the Queen of Winter. And we also need to do this for..."
Sora interrupted Arlecino and ordered her to leave without any expression.
"I can't promise that! Now, let me think about your proposal and give you an answer in a few days!"
Seeing this, although Alechino was a little dissatisfied, he couldn't get angry and had to prepare to leave.
However, the moment she turned around, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to Kong.
"This is the letter that the Harlequin asked me to give you privately. Please take a look at it."
Sora was a little surprised, but still reached out to take the envelope, muttering to himself unconsciously.
"Pagliacci... Piero..."
Before leaving, Alechino turned back for the last time and said:
"By the way, I have obtained permission to operate in Mondstadt. If you are willing to help, please send someone to Mondstadt to inform me."
……
With the departure of Alechino, the camp suddenly became quiet.
Sora sat quietly in the chair, holding the letter in his hand, deep in thought.
Not long after, Dainsleb and his Abyss Apostle, Torrent, walked in together.
Dainsleb walked straight to Kong and asked curiously, "How was your conversation with the orphan of the Red Moon Dynasty?"
Sora did not show the letter that Piero gave him to Deinsreb. After putting it away, he directly told Deinsreb the purpose of Arlecino's visit.
"The woman named Alechino said she hoped I could stop the snowstorm so she could get in touch with the wind god."
"She wanted to use the letter written by the Ice God to persuade the Wind God to change his ways." As he said this, Kong took out the Ice God's handwritten letter.
When Dainsleb heard that even the Ice God was involved, he couldn't help but think that this was a good idea.
If the God of Ice could persuade the God of Wind, perhaps things would really turn around.
"This is indeed an opportunity, you might as well give it a try."
However, Kong placed his right hand on his chest, pondered for a moment, and replied: "I am thinking about this question... But there is one thing that is crucial, that is my brother-in-law 'Shao Yun', he will never let the God of Wind go."
"Moreover, I myself cannot forgive the Wind God in my heart! My sister is my only one!"
As soon as Deinsreb heard Kong mention Shao Yun, the fantasy of peace talks that had just ignited in his heart was instantly shattered.
"Shao Yun... But have you ever thought about what consequences would be caused if the Wind God died?"
This question hits the nail on the head and goes straight to the heart of the matter.
Dainsleb stared at Sora and continued, "Killing people may be easy, and killing gods is not difficult either, but how do we end it afterwards? This is the most critical question."
"The Seven Gods are unreliable, but it is a mistake to embark on a path of rebellion against them."
Kong replied coldly: "Killing the Wind God is not rebelling against the rule of the Seven Gods, it is revenge!"
Then, Kong didn't want to continue this topic anymore, so he waved his hand casually and changed the subject.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I remember another caravan coming from Liyue."
"If you don't go now, my men will kill them all..."
Dainsleb stood there quietly, without saying a word.
Finally, he turned around silently and walked towards the direction of the Liyue caravan without looking back at Sora.
"Got it. I'll go right away..."
