Niwa waved his hand lightly, the falling wooden cup was softly supported by the water element, and landed steadily without spilling any drink.

"It's no use."

Di Luke's eyes suddenly became serious.

He found that the man in front of him had a stronger ability to control the water element than he could have imagined!

During the daytime battle, although he noticed traces of elemental power being manipulated in the sudden rain, he failed to find the manipulator.

At that time, he also attributed it to the fact that the battlefield was too chaotic, and various elemental auras were mixed with each other.Now it seems that his judgment on the strength of the warrior in front of him is still too conservative!

Thinking of this, he no longer held back his hands, Xieyan fully activated, and six chains wrapped in black flames attacked Niwa from different angles!

Chapter 37 Why the rich always have the urge to be a vigilante

Seeing Di Luke's attack, Niwa's God's Eye hidden in his waist shone brightly, and the surrounding air suddenly became sticky!

When the Black Flame Chains entered his body for three feet, it was like piercing into a quagmire, being entangled and wrapped by water elements one after another!

The white water vapor overflowed, completely covering the figures of the two of them!

Seeing that the attack was blocked, Di Luke immediately tried to retract the chain, but Niwa followed up with the trend, and shot forward with the fine water sword!

Di Luke frowned slightly, and the black fire around his body surged, rushing forward with a heat wave!

However, in the next moment, a big hole was drilled in the middle of the wall of fire by a drill bit formed by water elements!A blue water sword drilled through the hole, piercing Diluc's chest!

Di Luke snorted coldly, and hit the water sword from bottom to top with his fist carrying black fire, trying to defeat it.

At the moment when the water sword collided with the fist, the water sword suddenly exploded!

Countless water threads as thin as a cow's hair shot out like flying needles, and flew into the darkness against Di Luke's body, smashing a big tree behind him into a sieve!

These few fights were ups and downs like rabbits, but Di Luke already understood that he was missing a move, and immediately withdrew Hei Yan.

Niwa stepped out from the mist, bowed his hands and said, "I've accepted."

Diluc was silent for a moment.

He understood that the other party's control over the water element was already able to gather and disperse freely, and he was firmly ahead of him in the control of elemental power.

After a while, he stroked his chest in the etiquette of Mond nobles and saluted: "Diluke Legenfand of Mond City salutes you."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Shimoniwa, from Liyue Port."

At this moment, Mei Xin's drunken voice came from not far away.

"Huh? Why is there so much water vapor here? Where did you die, little Danzi? Come and grill fish for sister!"

Niwa smiled apologetically at Di Luke, and ran towards the stove as he promised loudly.

Di Luke was stunned for a long time before he stepped up to follow.

As soon as he walked out of the area filled with water vapor, he saw a tall and thick man slapping Niwa on the back, and shouted impatiently: "Where did you go, kid? Go and get me some more grilled fish, Here are five hard dishes!"

The other bodyguards also yelled loudly: "Xiao Danzi! When you meet the Qiuqiu people on the road, you can stay behind the team. How can you desert at this moment?"

"That's right! It's my brother's job to kill Qiuqiu people, so you should also do your job well!"

Seeing the group of bodyguards sitting in the crowd, bragging to the guys in the caravan while eating and drinking, Diluc frowned.

But Niwa didn't pay much attention to it, he ran back to the stove with a smile, and quickly started to prepare vegetables and grilled fish.

Di Luke couldn't help leaning closer to Niwa and said, "Why do you put up with those ordinary people?"

Niwa said with a smile: "Those people are all my partners. Although they are a bit rude in temper, they are all very good-hearted."

"Sister Mei Xin has a sharp mouth and a tofu heart, and she always takes good care of me on weekdays. Brother Shangwu, hehe... his little thoughts, except for sister Mei Xin who is so careless, everyone in the caravan knows it well."

"Men, why take it seriously when you are jealous and lose your temper? After eating two meals together with good wine and good meat, you will be fine, and you will be fine."

"Strange point of view...is this how the Liyue people behave in the world?" Di Luke shook his head.

"It's better to say it's the chef's way of life." Niwa said narrowly.

"Are you really a cook?"

"Is Master Diluc a bartender?"

"..."

Among the banquets, the chef is always the busiest one.

It wasn't until the night was getting dark that everyone was drunk and Niwa was free.

Even in such a warm atmosphere, even though everyone was trying to persuade him, Di Luque still didn't drink a drop.

He quickly arranged for the servants to send everyone back to the room one by one, and then came to Niwa's side and handed over a wooden wine glass.

"This is my apple brew, without alcohol, try it."

Niwa took it with a smile, raised his glass and took a big sip. He felt that the taste was a bit like the apple cider vinegar from his previous life, but the sourness was lighter, the aftertaste was stronger, and the taste was clearer.

He praised loudly: "It's delicious! If you add some ice cubes, it will sell better in hot weather, right?"

Di Luke stood with folded arms, and said lightly: "It hasn't been officially launched yet, you can try it later... Let's get down to business, I don't know why you come to Mond."

"My target? Hehe, just like you, fools."

"what?"

Diluque was shocked.

The grievances between him and the fools, apart from himself, are only known to a few companions in the intelligence organization, why does this person know?

"Don't be surprised." Niwa raised his chin and pointed to Diluc's left hand, "I have one of those things too, and I snatched it from the fools."

Di Luke took a deep look at him, and raised his hand as an invitation letter, "This is not a place to talk, please come to my study."

The Legenfind family's ancestral home looks unremarkable from the outside, but the interior is full of understated luxury.

The reception area on the first floor is not bad, but when it comes to the owner's living area, you can let yourself go. Exquisite porcelain and precious ancient paintings are just placed in the corridor without protection.

Along the way, after listening to Diluque's casual introduction, Niwa found sadly that his family has been passed down for thousands of years, and the accumulated property is probably worth two such corridors.

"Upstairs there is also my father's private collection room, where all the real boutiques are collected. I have no interest in this aspect, and I haven't been in it for a long time... If you are interested, I can take you to see it later."

Di Luke, who is good at observing words and expressions, saw that Niwa's attention was firmly attracted by the artwork, so he added.

Niwa's cheeks twitched, and he shook his head, "No need... In fact, I kind of understand why rich people always have the urge to be a vigilante."

"Ok?"

"If I have such an industry, I'm afraid I will use this method to prove the meaning of my existence... Simply put, it's a pain in the ass."

Di Luke was speechless for a moment, took out the key, opened the door at the end of the corridor, and entered first.

Compared to the corridor made of Mora, this study room is simply rudimentary.

There are no decorations on the walls, the bookshelves are full of letters, the desk is messy, and notebooks and stationery are strewn everywhere.

Diluque picked up the kettle from the table by the wall and poured a glass of cold water to Niwa, "Let's exchange information, let me talk first."

"Do you know that Falga, the head of the Westwind Knights, suddenly led the knights' elite expedition a month ago? According to my guess, this matter is related to the request of the fools."

"At that time, I had just returned to Mond and held a celebratory dinner at home. At the banquet, the Executive Officer of the Fools [Doctor] asked the Zephyr Knights to recruit soldiers, but Bishop Simon did not agree."

"The two sides then held negotiations in Mond City, and the result seemed to be a little unhappy."

"Since then, the activities of the Fools and the Abyss Religion have become more frequent. I don't know if there is any connection between the two."

"After that, perhaps it was some agreement reached between Commander Falga and the top officials of the Fools. The Knights of the West Wind suddenly announced that they would go on an expedition, and they sent out all the elite, leaving less than [-]% of the remaining troops."

"With the expedition of the Knights, the fools have gradually restrained their arrogance in the diplomatic field, and ordered the replacement of the diplomats who were too tough before..."

Chapter 38 Ilok is just a small person...?

"Wait, is [Doctor] still in Mond?" Niwa asked.

"I don't know, he hasn't shown up since that banquet." Diluc shook his head.

"……please continue."

Diluque continued: "The sudden departure of Grand Master Falga has led to a series of chain reactions."

"Originally, the West Wind Knights were investigating... Chief Inspector Ilok, after the grand master left, this matter was handed over to the deputy and acting chief Qin to follow up."

"Because of the secret support of the Fools, the investigation of Ilok is not going well."

"Then about three weeks ago, the dismissed diplomat of the Winter Kingdom was attacked and killed at the city gate. The attacker used a black flame... very similar to the flame I used."

"This incident caused an uproar, and the fools immediately lodged a solemn protest and claimed that they would send people to intervene in the investigation."

Black fire case?Collet?

Niwa stood up abruptly.

Thankfully, there was finally an event he was familiar with, only it had also happened a year earlier.

"Have you thought of anything?" Diluc asked.

Niwa shook his head, "I'm not sure yet. Is that all? Then let me tell you about Liyue's situation."

He told Di Luke his experience of being deceived by the Fools and the process of intercepting the Fools' convoy in Liyue, and then guessed: "[Doctor] may have discovered something in this experiment, and asked Mond Conscription should be to collect experimental subjects and prepare for the next experiment. Your grand commander probably used the expedition as a condition in exchange for fools not to recruit soldiers from Mond."

According to the original plot, Inspector Ilok is the inner ghost that fools have placed in the Zephyr Knights.The investigation of him was once deadlocked, but in the end Qin eliminated this man and his henchmen.

This is just a small person and can't make any waves.

The most urgent task is to find the convoy of fools who walked out of the Longji Snow Mountain!

Hearing Niwa's request, Di Luke nodded slowly and said: "I will use my intelligence network to find that convoy. As long as they really entered the territory of Mond from Longji Snow Mountain, then no matter which route they plan to take All the way back to Zhidong, it is impossible to escape my eyes!"

"Then in return, I will help you when you need it, either intelligence or military support." Niwa stood up and extended his right hand to Di Luke.

Di Luke stretched out his hand and shook him firmly, "It's a deal."

Niwa smiled, "One more thing...do you know Mr. Abedo, the chief alchemist of the Knights Order?"

----------

At the same time, Mond City.

In a luxurious apartment near Fengshen Square, a exhausted Ilok pushed open the door of the living room.

The room was pitch black, but he didn't light the lamp. Instead, he went straight to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of dandelion wine, poured himself a large glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

The spicy and bitter taste not only failed to relax him, but made him more irritable.

He couldn't help but slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground.

The thick carpet protected the poor wine glass from being smashed to pieces, but it just rolled away far away and stopped under a pair of feet.

It was only at this moment that Yilok discovered the figure sitting in the darkness, and quickly drew out the long sword at his waist.

"Who?!"

The man didn't speak, just took out the tinder and lit the lamp beside him.

Under the refraction of the crystal lampshade, the orange-yellow flame dispelled the darkness in the room and illuminated the faces of the visitors.

"It's you? What are you doing here?"

Ilok said in surprise, and slowly retracted the long sword into its sheath.

The visitor glanced at him, and taught lightly: "Even if it is not required by noble etiquette, your words are too rude, Ilok."

"Feel sorry."

Yilok made a perfunctory sentence without apology, picked up the bottle of dandelion wine, took two glasses from the wine cabinet, and sat next to the man.

The man watched him pour the wine into the two silver cups, frowned and said: "The glass is not wrong, but the aged dandelion wine should be sobered for [-] minutes before adding ice cubes. , wasting both good wine and life."

Yilok put the wine bottle heavily on the coffee table, and snorted coldly: "What time is it, and you are still putting on your noble airs!"

The man didn't get angry, he got up and took the wine bottle and glass back to the wine cabinet, poured the wine into the waste liquid bucket, and started to mix the wine in the correct way, while saying, "Etiquette is not for others to see." .A true nobleman knows how to use etiquette to keep himself calm and sharp, and not to be stymied by fear."

Ilok was silent for a moment, then took a long breath and said, "The eldest daughter of the Gurnhild family is pressing me every step of the way. Her bloodline makes it impossible for me to fight back. If it weren't for the help of fools, I'm afraid... Even so, I am now It's just lingering."

"The problem is very accurate. Indeed, in Mond, blood is a person's greatest support. Gurnhild has been a good person for generations, and Lawrence has been a sinner for generations, even after a thousand years."

The man deftly poured wine into the mixing jar and shook it gently to let the aroma of the wine spread, "The people who claim to have broken the shackles are just continuing the rule under another set of blood shackles in the name of freedom... . . . it's ridiculous."

Ilok said angrily: "Can we discuss the philosophical issue later? The support of fools can't delay me for too long!"
