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

After saying that, she continued to walk forward, past Dotore's place, as if she was taking in any little incident on the way, just like stopping to spread some cat food to the wild cats on the roadside...

The doctor looked at the girl's retreating back, until she was wrapped in a black flame and then dispersed, then he murmured softly: "Going back to the past...it's really an experiment that people can't start with..."

Of course he was curious about whether Knox had gone back to the past. As for the relationship between Columbia and him, he didn't have much desire to know. As he said before, that question was just a bold assumption and later verification. It’s just a way.

It's just - "Mate? It's really ridiculous..." The doctor's sneer melted in the snow, but I don't know whether he was laughing at the truth or falsehood of the sentence itself, or some other nonsense.

......

The setting sun reflects in from the window, and the purple-red glow seems to divide the library into two worlds.

Yora was lying on her desk and sleeping soundly under the setting sun. Knox sat in the dark shadows and looked through the yellowed pages of a forbidden book hidden in his hand.

Remembering the map drawn above, he closed the book and threw it back to where it belonged.

Knox turned to look at the sunset outside the window and whispered softly: "It's really a waste of time..."

Whether it was because the brilliance of the setting sun was too dazzling, or because Knox's whisper was heard, Yora opened her sleepy eyes, sat up in confusion and looked around before realizing her situation.

"Um... did you actually fall asleep?" Yola rubbed her eyes, then looked at Knox, who was leaning on the back of the chair with his arms folded, as if admiring the sunset, and an apology suddenly appeared on his face: "I'm sorry. , fell asleep without realizing it, it seemed like you slept for a long time, are you waiting for me on purpose? "

Knox shook his head: "I found an interesting book. I just finished reading it."

Although Knox said this, Yora still felt a little bit embarrassed: "You came to enjoy the wine festival, but you ended up staying in the library for so long... Well, it's almost night, I'll treat you to a meal How about it? Of course, it’s a wine festival after all, so there will be no shortage of wine.”

As soon as she liked it, Knox stood up and smiled at her: "Okay, thank you then."

Yora waved her hand nonchalantly, not hearing the profound meaning contained in this "thank you" at all.

......

The setting sun shone on a path outside Mondstadt, and the shadows of Ying and Paimon were pulled together by the sunlight.

Paimon, who was floating in the air, stretched himself, and his voice was a little tired, but also a little satisfied: "What a fulfilling day. It was raising funds for the knights' charity sale, and it was also helping Lei Ze find clues about his parents... "

Ying looked at the city of Mondstadt in the distance, which was reflected in a golden red by the sunset, and at the large windmills rotating in the city, with a smile on his face: "Although it is different from the imagined wine festival, it is surprisingly not bad."

"Well! Although I couldn't be with Ling and Kelai, it's not too late to go back and find them now!"

That was said, but when Paimon and Yingzhen rushed back to Mondstadt, and after asking around, they came to an open-air tavern outside a hotel, they only saw a certain singer in green clothes, alone. Sitting there drinking wine.

When Ying and Paimon walked over, before they could say anything, Wendy winked at Ying preemptively and said, "Hey! You're finally here. I've already made you drunk. It's in that room, here's the key, give-"

He blankly took the key handed over by Wendy and looked at the door not far away where Wendy signaled, a little uneasy: "What's the matter of getting drunk? What's the key..."

"Oh, it's Nenox. I don't know what's wrong with that guy recently. He always likes to drink some very strong wine. We are all good friends. I thought that the good news would not go to others, so I helped you. Get him drunk~ Go quickly, you're welcome~" Wendy stood up and pushed him towards the door of the room.

At this moment, Paimon had turned to stone in mid-air, staring blankly at Wendy and Ying, with his mouth wide open but unable to speak.

As for what happened here, it was actually very simple. After Yula and Knox found the open-air tavern here on the street, before finishing the meal, Yula was called away by the knights and said There are temporary tasks.

After Yura said goodbye to Knox apologetically and paid the money, she hurriedly left.

At the same time, Wendy, who was walking on the street, came over smelling the smell of alcohol. When the two drunkards met, just like they had done many times before, they naturally drank endlessly.

But I don’t know why, just like what Wendy said, after Knox got rid of [Arrogance] and [Sloth], he became fond of strong drinks. If he drinks like before, he will never end it, and getting drunk is inevitable. It's natural...

As a result, this has led to the current situation.

As she approached the door, Ying finally realized what she was doing and immediately blushed and broke away from Wendy's push. She moved to the side very quickly and said uncomfortably to Wendy: "I...that , He, in short, I don’t have that idea..."

Wendy suddenly showed a teasing look: "Oh? Really? Opportunities are rare. You may not encounter them once in hundreds of years? You will regret it if you miss it~"

Ying shook her head repeatedly, her cheeks flushed: "That won't work either..."

"Hey -" Wendy sighed, then spread her hands: "Okay, although I guessed that this would happen, it's really a pity."

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar black flame suddenly burned near the door of the house. Ying and Wendy, who were familiar with Knox's characteristics, and Paimon, who was still petrified over there, were stunned.

However, what no one expected was that the person who walked out of the black flames was not Knox, but an extremely beautiful girl with a mysterious temperament similar to Knox's.

After she appeared here, her eyes did not shift at all. She just looked at the door like this, or her eyes had penetrated the door. She easily pushed open the locked door and walked in like no one else. …

Chapter 157 Atmosphere

Columbia walked into the house and the door closed in the wind.

She looked at the window. The young man with silver hair and purple eyes had returned to his true appearance, sitting casually on the ground against the wall. His hair was messy and his eyes were dull.

She stepped forward, leaned over and used her delicate white fingers to straighten the messy hair on Knox's forehead. Then she knelt down, held her cheeks with her hands and looked into Knox's dull eyes. She smiled and said: "Really drunk?"

Knox looked at him, his numb face expressionless.

"It seems to be true." Columbia showed a troubled expression: "Knowing that I have lost three-sevenths of my sensory abilities, I still love to drink as much as before... I really can't do anything about you."

Knox's eyes moved slightly.

Columbia laughed and said, "Don't look at me like that. Don't you already know that I will know you in the future? I know everything about you -" As she said that, she sniffed the strong wine in the air. Fragrant, tilted his head and said: "You drank a lot of strong liquor. Because the taste sense is reduced by half, the taste must be aggravated."

She reached out and grabbed Knox's hand on her knee, holding the two similarly ashen-white hands together. She said to Knox: "The tactile sense has also dropped to only four-sevenths of normal." Is that to the extent?"

The corner of Knox's mouth twitched slightly, revealing an unclear chuckle: "So what was my state like when you first met 'me'?"

"Hmm..." Columbia raised her cheek slightly and thought for a while. After a while, she smiled and said: "One-seventh of the eyesight cannot see things clearly, one-seventh of the sense of smell cannot smell, and seven-tenths of the sense of smell cannot hear the taste." One-seventh of the sense of touch makes it difficult to hold things firmly, and one-seventh of the sense of taste hates food, but hearing--even if it is only one-seventh, it is no different from ordinary people."

"Ha." Knox smiled and no longer cared. He shook his dizzy head and looked squarely at the girl in front of him. The drunkenness from the previous second seemed to have completely melted away at this moment: "So now you Did you come to me just to tell me this?”

"You asked yourself."

"That's it for now, what's your purpose?" Knox asked.

"I miss you, I want to come see you, can't I?" The girl tilted her head slightly, with pure doubts in her eyes, like a child seeking knowledge, which made Knox's eyes twitch slightly.

After a moment, he sighed softly: "Aren't you sent by the Queen to call me back to Solstice?"

"No." Columbia said: "No one can restrict your freedom, except yourself, and the Queen probably knows this."

......

"The girl who just... just entered seems to be the one I saw when I went to the Coral Palace to meet the spirit pretending to be Orobas, right?" Paimon, who was floating next to Ying, scratched his cheek and looked at Ying, who frowned slightly next to him, hesitated.

Although it was a question, Paimon was actually very sure. After all, as long as one glance at a girl like that, I believe no one would be able to forget her.

Obviously, Ying had not forgotten it. She nodded slightly and agreed with Paimon's words. At the same time, she looked towards the door. Her calm eyes made it impossible to detect any of her thoughts.

"Hmm... what should we do? Should we go in and take a look?" Paimon's hand changed from scratching his cheek to scratching his hair, and his tone became more uncertain.

Ying said nothing and glanced at Wendy beside her.

Seeing this, Wendy waved her hands repeatedly: "Don't look at me, the girl who just entered is very strong, I am no match."

You are speechless, who asked you to fight with others...

Sighing, she walked towards the door and then pushed it tentatively.

crunch--

The sound of the door opening echoed in the room and was clearly transmitted to Ying's ears. From Ying's perspective, he saw this scene -

The white gauze curtains fluttered gently in the breeze of the evening breeze, and the open windows allowed the cool light of the moon and stars to flow in, illuminating the young man sitting on the ground by the window and squatting in front of him. on the girl.

There was a sweet smile on the girl's face, and the boy's face was as cold as the moonlight in the sky, but there was no resistance to such a close contact with the girl in front of him.

Ying was speechless, and she suddenly felt inexplicably that these two people were a perfect match... She quickly threw away this inexplicable illusion.

Paimon followed closely beside Ying. After Ying opened the door, she poked her head out from Ying's shoulder. She waved to the inside: "Hey, Ling, we heard from Wendy that you were drunk. Now you have Is it better?"

Paimon's voice attracted Knox's attention. He looked up and said lazily: "I'm fine."

"Huh? Oh..." Even Paimon felt that the current atmosphere seemed not suitable for his speech. He blinked and retracted behind Ying's shoulder.

However, in fact, Ying herself was muttering to herself, why is this atmosphere so unpleasant...

However, at this moment, a creation like an emerald green leaf suddenly appeared in Knox's ear - the void terminal automatically opened, and then Nasida's voice sounded directly in his mind -

"I have promulgated the policy we discussed previously to solve the financial problem and rectify the Gilded Brigade. Now more than 70.00% of the Gilded Brigade in Xumi have jointly launched a protest, and 12.00% of the Gilded Brigade launched an uprising... You... …Can you come back as soon as possible?”

"...I know." Knox responded in his mind.

After that, he stood up holding on to the wall, not caring about the stiff atmosphere at all, and walked leisurely past Columbia, and then passed by her.

As the familiar black flames rose and disappeared, the guy who was supposed to be the protagonist of the scene left without any responsibility.

Ying and Paimeng looked at each other, and Columbia's body also ignited the same black flames as Knox.

The space vibrates with the same frequency and then disappears.

Facing this empty room, Wendy, who was waiting to watch the show, spread her hands regretfully: "Sure enough, I knew this would happen..."

......

"It's getting very late, I should go back. Thank you Amber, I had a great time today!" It was also a restaurant, and the farewell scene between two girls was much warmer than the atmosphere on the other side.

Amber scratched her hair in embarrassment: "Hey, we are friends, these are what I should do -"

After that, she added: "But will you leave Mondstadt after you go back?"

Just when Kelai was about to shake her head and say that she didn't know, a black flame suddenly ignited around her, and Knox's figure walked out of it.

Seeing Knox who had returned to his original appearance, Cole was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, Amber couldn't help but exclaimed: "You! Why are you here!"

Knox glanced at Amber and said calmly: "Where do I need to report to you or the knights behind you when I appear?"

"No...you were just here last time...what do you want to do this time?" Although he felt that Knox was not a heinous villain in his heart, Amber, who clearly knew his identity as the executive of the Fools, was Be extremely wary of him.

"I'm just here to experience Mondstadt's Wine Festival. Besides, if I hadn't come, how could you have such a wonderful reunion with your friends?" Knox said with a smile.

After saying this, he waved to Kelai.

Seeing this, Kelai immediately said to Amber: "He really just wants to experience the Wine Festival this time!" After saying that, she ran to Knox and waved goodbye to Amber.

The black flames quickly rekindled, and Knox and Cole's figure disappeared from Amber's sight.

Amber slapped her head hard: "What an idiot I am! I was so excited to see Colai again. I should have thought that Colai would show up, and that the executive would probably come to Mondstadt..."

Chapter 158 The spread of war

"This is your last warning, put down your arms or die."

Holding the Red Sand Staff, Seno stood in front of hundreds of soldiers in green armor, looking coldly at the group of rebel mercenaries opposite, and the murderous intent in his voice was not concealed at all.

What he saw in front of him at this moment was a medium-sized mercenary group with about a hundred people. It was not weak, but if he went all out, he could solve it by himself. As for why he brought these soldiers behind him, it was Elhai who Mori asked Lord Grass God for instructions and gave him the instructions.

These soldiers are all soldiers of the Grass God Guards that were just formed by the Order. There are only a small number of former mercenaries among them, and most of them are real recruits who have never experienced actual combat. The reason why Elhaysen may ask for instructions The God of Grass issued such an order precisely to allow these soldiers who had gone through the first round of training to experience actual combat.
