Chapter 127 Eula's Disbelief
Chapter 127 Eula's Disbelief
In the end, Albedo and Samuel met Captain Jean on a street not far from the Knights' headquarters after leaving.
After being greeted by passers-by, Samuel saw that she was carrying a large bag in her hands and was looking at the deep alleys and some damp corners on the street with her head down in thought.
Based on what Samuel had known about Qin over the past few months, he guessed that she was thinking about going back to develop a plan to clean up these places that were prone to breeding unrest.
After all, as His Holiness the Pope, he has to carry out some handover work between the church and the Knights Templar from time to time with Jean Gunhild, the acting master of the Knights Templar.
Although they don't necessarily meet in person, it's just on paper or communicated through middlemen, such as Sister Giuliana and Sister Grace.
But every time the handover was completed, Samuel would agree more with the words that were passed down by the residents of Mond.
"Captain Qin is very reliable." A passerby nearby introduced her to him respectfully. "The bag she was carrying was filled with coffee powder. I guess the Knights' quota of coffee was finished, so she came out to buy some?"
Samuel glanced at the bag in Qin's hand and nodded slightly in thought.
He looked at Albedo standing beside him, and the other nodded.
When passers-by saw this, they understood that they had things to do and did not want to disturb them too much, so they left.
Then, Samuel and Albedo walked over to greet Jean.
"May the wind god be with you, Captain Gunhild." He greeted in a clear and gentle voice.
Qin, who was looking at the alley in front of her and thinking, came back to her senses, turned around and found that it was Samuel. She immediately reacted and quickly performed the etiquette of the Knights to him, with a serious but gentle expression: "Let the wind lead."
"May you be well, Saint Samuel." After she saluted Samuel, she looked at the chief alchemist beside her, "Good afternoon, Albedo."
Albedo nodded: "Good afternoon, Qin."
He glanced around and saw that passers-by didn't dare to approach this place, so he got straight to the point:
"We want to find out something about Eula."
"Regarding Eula's matter..." Qin lowered her head and pondered, then raised her head after a moment, "I have arranged all the relevant matters to the temporary team led by Amber. You can go to them if you need anything."
"Amber was the first to discover the incident and was the one who cared the most about it. After reporting the situation to me, she volunteered to investigate the matter. She currently has many more clues than I do.
“She should be investigating near Eula’s home right now.
"Come to think of it, I'm planning to go over there and take a look. It's over there, and I can lead the way."
As she spoke, Qin pointed to a spot not far away on the street.
Samuel looked over and saw an ordinary Mond-style small residential building at the end of the street she pointed to.
He said politely: "Thank you."
"This is what I should do, Your Majesty." Qin responded gently.
The white-haired boy wearing a crown nodded, and followed her and Albedo to the house where Eula lived.
The breeze was blowing, and the streets were filled with emerald green decorations decorated with flowers that people had prepared in advance for the Wind Flower Festival.
The wind happened to blow a cluster of dandelion seeds planted by the residents of Mondstadt in front of their windows towards the direction where Samuel left.
……
——Eula opened her eyes slightly.
As she was trained, she realized almost instantly that her hands and feet were bound.
She did not struggle, but remained in her original position, trying to observe the surrounding situation through hearing and the corner of her eyes.
She realized something was wrong when she met her uncle at the doorstep yesterday afternoon.
Schubert Lawrence, her uncle.
Like everyone else in the family, no, it should be said that he is the elder who guides the younger generations of the family to pursue the so-called "glory of the nobility."
In order to restore the so-called "glory of the old nobility", he did not hesitate to use his brain to walk all over Mondstadt every day, observe the patrol routes of the Knights of Favonius, and use his brain to force himself to memorize the defense layout of Mondstadt and hand it over to the Fatui.
I don’t know if he is really stupid or what, but he actually believes in the Fatui.
Fortunately, the blond traveler was there at the time. After accepting the commission from Captain Jean, he discovered the Fatui base that was spying on Mondstadt, and caught Schubert on the spot when he was trading with the Fatui.
Schubert was imprisoned in the Knights Templar's prison, which was a great help to the entire Knights Templar.
Although she was talked about again because she and he were from the same "Lawrence" family, she had long been used to it and it was nothing.
I thought the matter ended here. After all, Schubert was the elder of the family. His being arrested and thrown into jail by the Knights would definitely have a great impact on other members of the family.
Other family members with evil intentions would no longer be as blatant as Schubert. Even if they wanted to cause trouble, they could only do it secretly and cautiously.
Unexpectedly, she saw him again at her doorstep!
And before she could react, she fell into a coma.
Now that I think about it, it must have been someone from the Fatui who knocked her out from behind.
Thinking of this, she paused and began to look around.
The air is very humid and the ground is very wet.
There is a high probability that there is a water source nearby, and we may have already left Mondstadt.
Considering that only about a day had passed, Schubert couldn't have taken her too far in a short period of time. The initial guess was that she was in a cave near Wine Lake.
The Eye of the Ice Elemental God that she wore as an epaulette was taken off, and she could not feel the flow of elemental power.
Eula couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
The Eye of God cannot be taken away at will. Unless there are special means, ordinary people cannot take it away without permission.
She had some special connection with it, and it was impossible for her to have no reaction at all when it was taken away.
In other words, the Eye of God was still within her perception range, but this perception was blocked by something.
Where did the Fatui get this technology... she wondered.
These were all she could observe at the moment. If she wanted to make more inferences, she would have to try a different posture.
But this might alert the people around who might be guarding her, so she couldn't alert them.
Thinking of this, she closed her eyes and wondered how to escape.
At this moment, a familiar old-fashioned voice sounded:
"Got it Eula, I know you're awake."
Hearing this, she couldn't pretend anymore.
So she opened her eyes, sat up, and looked directly at the middle-aged man who was dressed elegantly, had a serious look, and was thin.
From this, she saw the whole picture of this place.
There is a wooden table in the corner of the dark and damp cave. The oil lamp lit on it is the only light in the entire cave.
As expected, his Eye of God was on that wooden table.
This place doesn't look like a long-standing base, but rather like a temporary place.
And...for some reason she seemed to be able to smell a strange and ominous aura.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath calmly and looked at her blood uncle who was standing next to the oil lamp.
Schubert was frightened by her gaze, and after a moment he realized that she was tied up. He blew his beard and snorted:
"The Knights have really changed you. You have completely forgotten the etiquette of aristocracy.
"You are the eldest daughter of this generation of the Lawrence family. In the etiquette courses you learned since childhood, didn't you learn 'bow your head and bow to greet elders'?"
Youla looked at him and spoke slowly in a cold voice:
“I don’t understand what you’re arguing about. Is the point at this moment that I’m being impolite?
"Compared to this, as a descendant of the nobility, you didn't properly reform yourself in the cell, but escaped from it. Isn't this more of a disgrace to the surname 'Lawrence'?"
Schubert seemed to be stimulated by something and his emotions got out of control in an instant.
Eula heard his hysterical tone and said:
"What misfortune for our family! What misfortune for our family! How could a rebellious monster like you appear in our family?"
Eula couldn't help but narrow her eyes, alert to the situation around her.
Schubert was not in a good state. The politeness and elegance he had always spoken of were completely gone.
He seemed unable to control his emotions and lacked the ability to organize his language.
The next second, Schubert's emotions suddenly stabilized inexplicably.
He glanced at Eula who was tied up in the corner, straightened his clothes, and continued in a dignified manner:
“But none of this matters anymore.
"Eula, you will understand. As a descendant of a noble family, you will understand it sooner or later.
“Lawrence is a great surname, and we deserve to enjoy the benefits that come with it!
“Even though I am oppressed by that damned Knights, I, I! Schubert Lawrence!
"Sooner or later, I will take back everything that belongs to Lawrence!"
As he spoke, another ball of light suddenly appeared in the dark cave.
It was grand and ominous, and the oil lamp on the table seemed dimmed by its illumination.
It was a ball of strange flame, flickering around Schubert, as if jumping non-stop.
"Look, what a terrifying power that makes people tremble and fear!" Schubert said excitedly with a trembling voice, "I will use this power to get everything I want!"
Eula's eyes widened as she saw his bloodshot eyes and his fanatical expression towards the strange and ominous light beside him.
No... not the Fools...
This is, this is…
The Abyss Cult...!
