Holy Lord from Teyvat

Chapter 175 A small fight

Qin: “We have only investigated the treasure-stealing group and some businessmen, and there are quite a few of them.

They were acting in an organized manner and were clearly being driven by someone, but no matter how hard we tried, we could not find the mastermind behind it.”

Diluk, who had been silent for a long time, said: "I have been secretly investigating the merchants, but I have not been able to find any useful information. The enemy is hiding very deeply."

Kaiya: "As for the treasure-stealing group, we did catch two guys who were responsible for contacting the treasure-stealing group, but unfortunately they were dead men. They committed suicide by taking poison before I had a chance to interrogate them."

"In addition, there is the Abyss Cult. We have found two of their bases, one of which was found by Sora and his team. I don't know if these two bases have any relevant information."

In fact, Diluk also played a role in the discovery of that stronghold, but it is not convenient to talk about the night elf hero.

Qin: "Zheng Tian, ​​we just want to inform you today that we have dispatched a lot of forces and even locked down a lot of enemy hideouts. I believe we will be able to catch the mastermind soon."

"During this period of time, just live your life with peace of mind. I just hope you don't misunderstand me and leave the matter to us."

Yes, this was not a combat meeting at all. It was just to inform Zheng Tian about the matter and calm him down.

"Oh? Don't you need my help?" Zheng Tian asked in surprise.

"You've done a lot. If Mond can't even handle these things, then it can only be said that our leader has a very poor vision." Even here, Diluk said without restraining his attitude.

However, all the Knights agreed with his words. If they couldn't even handle such a small matter, how could Farga and the others be willing to hand over Mondstadt to them and go on an expedition?

Zheng Tian pondered for a moment, then said, "Well, for your sake, I won't take action for the time being. After all, those guys shouldn't be stupid enough to run in front of me and curse, which would affect me."

"But I'll be frank with you. If the other party goes too far, I may not be able to bear it."

After hearing what Zheng Tian said, Qin and others breathed a sigh of relief.

What they were most worried about in this matter was Zheng Tian's attitude. Although Zheng Tian had just comforted Qin, anyone could see that he was also angry.

But if Zheng Tian took action personally, it would not only mean disappointment in them, but also that there would be a lot of noise.

Not to mention the mastermind, the merchants involved will probably be punished, and some will even be killed. If too much is involved, it may cause unrest among the people. At the same time, the Knights will find it difficult to regain Zheng Tian’s trust in this matter, and Zheng Tian’s image in the hearts of the people will also be affected.

All I can say is that the enemy succeeded in disgusting them.

After one hour.

Accompanied by the wailing of Mona holding the diary, Klee, who was temporarily released, fled back to the confinement room.

While Zheng Tian was gloating over the misfortune of their master and disciple, he also began to help Mona prepare the room and laboratory.

In the original plot, the laboratory where Mona lived was rented to her by Goethe at a low price because Mona removed the seal on the door. Zheng Tian decided to take advantage of the seal and take Mona to buy the house and all the equipment inside at a low price, which would save a lot of time.

In the evening, after a busy day, the group finished their meal and started their nightlife.

Mona was very tired, but needed to finish her manuscript. Zheng Tian and the other two planned to go out for a walk.

Just as Qin and the others said, most of the passers-by did not show any rejection towards Zheng Tian.

Not long after they went out, the three met Kaia.

"I'm about to go to Diluk's place for a drink. Do you want to join me? It's my treat." Kaeya invited the three people.

However, the three people who had just finished their meal didn’t want to go, and if they went they would just drink juice.

Kaiya held his forehead and sighed after being rejected: "Oh, do I have to make it so obvious? I just want to talk to you."

The three of them then agreed.

The angel's gift, the four of them ordered a glass of wine and three glasses of juice, and found a secluded corner on the second floor where there were fewer people.

Paimeng said unhappily, “Humph, when we just came in, a few people looked at us unkindly, especially at you, Zheng Tian.

Aren't you angry at all?"

Zheng Tian was very calm: "It doesn't matter. I will only take action if they escalate to swearing."

Seeing this, Paimon stamped his feet in anger: "Ah, I'm so mad, how can you be so calm?"

Zheng Tian asked back, "Are you sure you want to see me being upset?"

Paimon was choked and speechless.

Yes, if this guy doesn't keep calm, he will probably start fighting directly and make the opponent bleed.

Kaiya's mouth twitched: "Zheng Tian, ​​I won't beat around the bush with you. Let me tell you the truth, are you prepared to investigate privately?"

It’s not convenient to ask during the day, so let’s find out now. If we find that Zheng Tian really intends to investigate on his own, the Knights can also prepare in advance and clean up the mess.

Zheng Tian: "Didn't I tell you? Seeing how efficient you are and how excessive the other party is, I decided to stay quiet for the time being just for the sake of our friendship."

Kaia: "Phew~ I feel relieved when you say that."

Kong: "Didn't Zheng Tian tell you that during the day? Kaiya, why are you so worried?"

Kaiya laughed and said, "Haha, there's nothing I can do. Those bastards have already made my work more intense. If Zheng Tian secretly adds fuel to the fire, I will really cry."

Zheng Tian: "Then I'd really like to see it."

Kaia: "No, no, no, please, please don't do that. If you really can't, get some onions and I'll cry for you."

Zheng Tian: "It's too troublesome, let's take a taxi."

Kaia: “It’ll kill people!”

After that, the atmosphere of the conversation was very relaxed. No one talked about the current public opinion storm, and most of them just asked each other if they had encountered any interesting things recently.

After chatting for about half an hour, Diluk appeared and called Kaeya away.

The three of them also left the pub, took a walk for a while, and then returned home to rest.

Zheng Tian sat on the sofa in the hall, took out the information and looked at it carefully.

"No matter how hard we investigate, we can only find merchants and nobles? And Lawrence's involvement? It's really well hidden."

For these guys, there is no benefit in hiding themselves.

"If we really want to doubt it, then only the Fatui and the Cult of the Abyss are worthy of suspicion."

"Dottore again? Is he seeking revenge? No, that's not like his style. He never cares about public opinion. This is just a waste of time in his eyes. The Harlequins shouldn't be stupid enough to use such a method that has little benefit and will only anger me."

"The Abyss Cult... If it's them, do they want to alienate me from the human race? That's possible. Mondstadt is probably just a starting point. The next step is to grope in the dark in Liyue."

Since he had nothing to do, Zheng Tian simply looked through the information over and over again, just like playing a detective puzzle game.

After an unknown amount of time, Mona walked out of the room.

She stretched, her tight bodysuit perfectly outlining her curves, and the sleepy look on her face made her look even more cute.

After looking around, she found Zheng Tian still sitting in the hall.

"Are you still worried?" Mona came over and asked.

Zheng Tian: "No, I'm just bored."

Mona's first reaction was disbelief. She knew that cold violence was actually very scary: "Well, if you need it, I can use astrology to help you."

Zheng Tian: "Oh? Is it okay?"

If astrologers were routinely involved in investigating crimes, Mona probably wouldn't be writing. Obviously, astrologers don't usually do detective work.

Mona sat down next to Zheng Tian, ​​with a proud look on her face: "Humph, I normally wouldn't do this, but who made you my travel companion? Why don't you thank the great astrologer Mona?"

Zheng Tian smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, the great astrologer Miss Mona, but forget it, I won't ask you to make an exception for this matter."

Mona was quite pleased with the first half of the sentence. But her smile disappeared in the second half: "You! Humph, if I don't want to help, then I won't help. It's all in vain that I care about you."

Zheng Tian's face was calm: "Before, I was also targeted by certain forces in other worlds. We even fought each other secretly. I also had a lot of blood on my hands. My first killing started from then."

"Compared to that, this is just a small fight. If this can really break my defense, then I have made very little progress."

Only then did Mona realize that Zheng Tian was really fine.

"Hey, can you tell me about your past..."

bang bang bang...

A sudden knock on the door interrupted Mona's questioning.
