The original god, the zero-seat executive of the Fools

In the Goethe Hotel, which has been used as an embassy by fools all year round, [Doctor] leaned against the wall with his arms folded. His scarlet eyes under the mask looked coldly at Nok, who was looking at him with a smile and asked this question. Sri Lanka.

He said calmly: "What do you think?"

"Haha, since you are so confident, I won't have anything to do next, so I wish you good luck." Knox smiled, and after saying that, he turned and left.

As for [Doctor]’s plan, it couldn’t be simpler. It is nothing more than a design to recreate the Demon Dragon Usa incident a few years ago—using the [Mechanical Bird] he made to attract monster attacks, and then [Doctor] himself will act as the savior to solve the crisis. , in order to further oppress Mondstadt diplomatically.

What Knox did was just to delay the higher-ups of the Knights and buy time for the doctor to unknowingly place the [Mechanical Bird] in Mondstadt. But it sounds simple, but in fact, ordinary people It's really not possible. After all, ordinary people don't have the weight to spend time with many high-level knights. Other executives can do it, but looking at the current fools, except for [the deceased] Knox, who spends all day traveling in the mountains. Apart from Shui having nothing to do, everyone else is busy with their own affairs.

......

After finishing his mission, Knox did not leave Mondstadt. After all, [Doctor] was about to star in a big drama. As a good colleague, how could he not be here to support him?

During the day, Knox took Collet to wander around the streets of Mondstadt, just like he did in other places in the past. When evening came, he took Collet into a restaurant called "Angel's" Gift” pub.

The interior decoration of the store is quite elegant, and there are many customers. Most of them are drinking and chatting with their companions, and the atmosphere is very enthusiastic.

Inside the bar, a red-haired young man was bartending. He seemed to be doing the job of a bartender, and he was quite skilled at it. But Knox knew at a glance that this man was not simple, but it had nothing to do with him. .

Finding a seat in front of the bar, Knox put his face on one hand and smiled at the red-haired young man: "A glass of dandelion wine and a glass of milk, thank you."

The young man who noticed Knox immediately when he came in looked up and glanced at him silently. Without saying anything, he turned around and took the drinks Knox ordered from the cabinet. He poured them into two glasses, Dandelion Wine. He placed it in front of Knox, and the milk was placed in the hands of Cole, who was sitting next to Knox.

"Is the executive of the Fools also interested in Mond's wine?" the young man said lightly.

"Haha, the pursuit of good things is a mark engraved on the souls of all human beings. Mond's wine is famous all over the continent. Why can't I be interested in it?" Knox finished with a smile, holding the wine glass to his lips. He took a sip and then praised: "Well, it's even better than the Knights'. I really envy the residents of Mondstadt that they can buy such fine wine at any time."

The red-haired young man raised his lips at him: "This wine is not for entertaining ordinary guests."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Knox raised his eyes, and then seemed to have lost interest in the young man. He held his face up boredly, picked up the wine glass and said nonchalantly: "That's really an honor for me."

When the red-haired young man saw this, he frowned slightly and said nothing. It was just a simple test. It didn't matter if the other party saw through it...

At this moment, Kelai, who was holding a cup in both hands and with some milk stains on her upper lip, glanced at the two of them with a blank expression. Although she could understand every word and sentence they said, why did she always feel that they were speaking? It was completely different from what he heard... After blinking, Kelai chose to continue drinking milk. Forget it, after all, following Knox, this kind of thing would not happen to him once or twice... …

Knox drank one glass after another of dandelion wine in the tavern. It seemed that what he drank was not the wine, but the time. As countless glasses of wine were consumed, only he and the guests around him were left in the tavern. Kelai was already asleep on the bar.

"Guest, it's closing time." The red-haired young man finished wiping the last cup and said to Knox.

Knox turned his head and looked at the night outside the window, and smiled slightly: "Is this the curtain call? I think the drama is about to begin."

After hearing this, the red-haired young man's pupils suddenly tightened. He followed Knox's gaze and looked out the window, then put down the wine glass and rushed out without saying a word.

In the empty tavern, Knox smiled happily: "It's important information. It's not too much to exchange for some drinks, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved, and all the drinks on the counter automatically floated toward him and disappeared one by one in front of him.

Glancing at the empty wine cabinet, Knox nodded with satisfaction. He picked up Cole from the stool next to him and walked out of the tavern briskly and casually.

Leaving Mondstadt in a carriage, when the carriage drove into the windy area, Knox turned back and looked in the direction of Mondstadt. Fires shot into the sky and the sound of weapons continued. Although it looked very powerful, it was less powerful than expected. But it can only be regarded as a small witch making a big witch appear.

Knox reached out with his hand, and a bottle of exquisitely packaged wine appeared in his hand. The cork flew away automatically, and Knox raised his head to take a sip.

"Well, that's a fair deal."

"Well..." Kelai beside her opened her eyes in a daze. She immediately glanced around and saw Knox next to her. She felt visibly relieved.

Realizing that she seemed to be on a moving carriage, she asked Knox in confusion: "Where are we going?" She didn't ask why she left Mondstadt, she didn't care, she just wanted to know what she was going to do next. Will and Knox continue their journey wherever they go.

"What happens next - who knows," Knox said.

Chapter 55

Knox had no interest in knowing what Mondstadt had said that night. He only obtained the information afterwards. In terms of diplomacy, Mondstadt was almost completely led by Zhidong...

As for Knox himself, after that, he still took Collet around the world and continued this unfinished journey.

Kelai liked this kind of life very much, and she also thought that such days would last for a long time. However, she never expected that the end of this journey would arrive so soon——

In the afternoon of this day, the sky in Sumeru was as clean as if it had been washed by clear water. The warm orange sun shone through the dense leaves of the trees and projected countless gold-like light spots on the ground.

Under such a beautiful and endearing scenery, Kelai felt as if her brain had been frozen. She stared blankly at the tree in front of her and said casually: "You are free." These four words As a young man, Kelai was stunned on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Eh?"

"Um... don't you understand?" Seeing Cole's state, Knox shrugged and continued: "Your mission is over, and you are free now. Of course, I always like fair transactions. You have done me a big favor, and I will naturally pay you accordingly."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and a wind blade grazed the shoulder of Kelai, who was still in a dazed state, leaving a shallow blood mark.

Knox said to her: "I [killed] your demon scale disease and the demon god residue on your body. I will take a healthy body as reward."

After he finished speaking, Kelai still didn't come back to her senses. Her eyes didn't have any brilliance at all, she just looked at Knox steadily.

Knox blinked, and after thinking for a moment, he took out something from his body. It was an item that looked similar to the Eye of God or the Evil Eye, but the difference was that the one in Knox's hand did not have any representative elements. There was nothing on the pattern but darkness.

Knox threw the black "Eye of God" to Kelai: "I made this myself. It's probably no problem for self-defense. With your remaining Mora, there shouldn't be many places on this continent that you can't go to." .”

The black "Eye of God" automatically hung on Kelai's waist, but Kelai didn't react at all. At this moment, she was like a walking corpse without a soul.

But Knox didn't care anymore. He turned around and left. Within a few steps, his figure disappeared completely amid the beating of the black flames...

Kelai stood there blankly for an unknown amount of time, but it was getting dark and then dawning again. When the midday sun shone on her again, her lusterless eyes regained their luster.

She looked around stiffly - there was no one around.

An indescribable feeling enveloped her completely. It was obviously the time when the sun was at its hottest at noon, but Kelai felt that it was so cold...

She slowly bent her body and squatted down, hugged her shoulders with both hands, and buried her cheek in her arms. She didn't make any sound, there were no thoughts in her mind, and she couldn't even feel her own emotions. But tears couldn't stop pouring from his eyes.

For a moment, she felt her vision go dark, and she fell to the ground unconscious...

I don’t know how much time passed before a figure walked out from behind the tree.

Knox walked up to Collet, who was unconscious, but tears still kept spilling from the corners of his eyes. He bent down, looked at Collet's cheek and sighed: "Really..."

He leaned over and picked up Kelai. This time, the black flames wrapped her and him together, and then the figure disappeared into the dense forest together...

......

The moment Kelai regained consciousness, she suddenly sat up and blurted out: "Don't leave me!"

"Oh? Are you awake?" A voice came into his ears. Kelai turned his head in surprise, but the light in his eyes dimmed the moment he saw the person who spoke.

Because that person was not the figure she wanted to see, but a young man with a pair of fox ears.

The young man didn't pay attention to Ke Lai's performance. He was just attracted by Ke Lai's scream when he woke up and looked back. After that, he resumed his own business on the console. .

There was a long silence in the room.

Until the young man moved his shoulders and brought the thing he was tinkering with - a bowl of green medicinal soup to the stool next to Kelai: "Drink it. You have consumed a lot of energy and your mental state is very bad. Although you don't know what happened. , but want to be open-minded.”

Kelai lowered his head and looked at his hands spread out on the quilt in a daze, completely unaware of the boy's words.

The young man felt helpless. He sighed and said, "My name is Tinari, and I am the ranger here. If you are a Sumeru person, you should know that I will not harm you."

Kelai still didn't speak.

The boy who called himself Tinari sighed again: "If it is related to that guy with silver hair..."

He didn't even finish his words. Kelai, who was lost in thought just a second ago, suddenly looked at him and asked urgently: "Have you seen him?"

Tinari shrugged: "He carried you and put you down on my forest patrol route. I tried to catch up with him, but unfortunately a strange black flame ignited on his body and he completely lost track. "

Ke Lai was stunned - did he come back after I was in coma?He also carried me onto the ranger's patrol path... Was he... worried about me?Then why...abandon me again...

Looking at Kelai, who had fallen into his own world, Tinari continued: "Although I don't know who that person is to you, you look like you have been abandoned?"

Collet didn't answer him.

Tinari shook his head, turned around and walked out the door: "Anyway, I put the medicine there. Just drink it if you want. I'm going to patrol the forest."

Tinari disappeared behind the door and the room fell into absolute silence again.

......

Tinari was walking on the forest patrol route, carefully observing and taking notes, but suddenly, a familiar silvery white appeared in his field of vision.

He raised his eyebrows and walked forward. After crossing a big tree, he saw a silver-haired boy leaning on the trunk with his arms folded behind the tree.

"Were you that person at that time?" Tinari said in a confused tone, "That girl..."

Knox glanced at him and interrupted: "Please help me take care of her. In exchange, I will clear all the existing [Dead Zones] in this forest."

Tinari frowned: "You..."

"I think this should save a lot of people's lives. This deal should be a good deal for you, right?" Knox interrupted again in a calm voice.

Tinari was silent for a moment, then continued: "Your actions caused a lot of harm to her."

Knox didn't say anything, but took a token engraved with the logo of the Fools from his body and placed it in front of Tinari's eyes.

"Fools?" Tinari was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "I see, I agree to this deal."

Knox didn't care whether he had misunderstood something, he just said: "The deal is reached, I hope you can abide by the agreement."

"Also, remember to keep it a secret."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black flames danced and his figure disappeared.

Although he has weak emotions, he is not without any emotions after all. Even tools will have a little bit of emotion after being used for a long time.

Chapter 56

Kelai sat on a stone by the river, quietly looking at the water in a trance.

She held a black "Eye of God" tightly in her hand, and the expression on her face was sometimes soft, sometimes sad.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly raised her hand angrily, as if she wanted to throw the black "Eye of God" in her hand into the river. However, the raised hand failed to throw it out, and the hand holding it was even more so. The grip was so tight that the knuckles turned white.

After a while, Kelai still cried and hugged the black "Eye of God" tightly in his arms like a treasure...

......

Although several years have passed since that time, those memories are always replayed in Kelai's mind like what happened yesterday. In the beginning, she had to hold the black " "Eye of God", relying on the expectation of "maybe meeting that person again in a dream" to fall asleep, but often being awakened by crying...

Although she is much better now, when she heard Tinari, who had become her master, talk about the Fools and the person who cured her of the demon scale disease, Kelai's brain still couldn't help but the most complicated emotions arose.

"Okay, there's no problem." After finishing the inspection, Tinari clapped his hands and said to Kelai: "Next, I will let you try to clear the dead zone alone. Of course, I will help you, but It should be noted that although your black eye of god is powerful, its aura is very strange, so if you encounter a dead zone and have to fight, try to use your grass attribute eye of god to fight against the enemy."

Kelai nodded silently, his eyes a little lost, not sure if he listened to Tinari's words.
