"It is the City of Freedom, the City of Wind and Odes." Jean replied.

Gu Chen nodded slightly, narrowed his eyes, and said: "Since it is the City of Freedom, we must thoroughly implement the Wind God's will of freedom. Naturally, I do what I want. I don't like Dottore; can't I just kill him?"

"This..."

It was hard to imagine this was said by the Vice Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius.

Varka's expression was strange.

Diluc's expression was somewhat subtle, but he had to admit that Gu Chen's proposal was truly... impossible to refuse!

Just as said before, there is no reason for a thief to be on guard for a thousand days.

Anyway, the Fatui came with ill intentions, so why talk about rules with them?

"Ah, this..."

Jean didn't know what to say for a moment.

Forget it, whatever her idol says is what it is. Jean sat quietly to the side without saying a word.

"What do you think?" Gu Chen looked at Varka.

Varka said righteously: "I didn't hear what was said today. Besides, the death or disappearance of a Fatui diplomatic envoy in Mondstadt is a major event and may face significant diplomatic pressure in the future. If we can make the other side disappear in a 'reasonable and fair' way, that would be even better!"

Gu Chen and Varka looked at each other.

They immediately understood Varka's meaning.

They couldn't kill the Fatui members openly; they had to use a 'reasonable and fair' way to make them die in Mondstadt.

Even if Snezhnaya held them accountable, it would at most be a case of failing to protect them.

You Snezhnayans are so tough, you shouldn't need us in Mondstadt to protect you, right?

"I'll plan it out well..."

Gu Chen put down his teacup and then said: "If there's nothing else, I'll go first. I'll patrol the territory of Mondstadt to see which place is suitable as Dottore's burial ground."

【Kaeya】: Good, good, Sect Leader, you're doing this, not following the rules, right? (Hu Tao? Smirk)

【Azhdaha】: The opponent is about to disgust you; are you still going to accept this disgust? (Funny)

【Shikanoin Heizou】: It seems very unreasonable, but the Sect Leader doing this is undoubtedly the quickest solution. It can avoid losses in Mondstadt City and kill Dottore, who has been watching in the dark like a poisonous snake.

【Collei】: Support Mr. Gu Chen!!!

【Osial】: Otherwise, just lure him to Liyue; I'll handle it then! (Funny)

【Keqing】: That would be an even more serious diplomatic incident. (Qiqi? Fall)

【Paimon】: They all say the top three Fatui Harbingers might have strength comparable to gods. Can Gu Boss in this episode do it?

【Tartaglia】: Comparable to gods—comparable to which kind of gods? In any case, it's definitely not at the level of the Seven Archons. As for whether Mr. Gu Chen can beat him... I really haven't thought about this question. (Paimon? Surprised)

【Alhaitham】: Normal. After all, Mr. Gu Chen has always been very powerful in everyone's impression, and this episode is about him gradually growing up. As for what level he has grown to, I'm afraid even Varka doesn't know very well.

【Kaveh】: I don't care; anyway, I believe Mr. Gu Chen can blast Dottore!

【Nahida】: Mr. First Sage, charge! (Klee? Charge)

Gu Chen went out.

This news could be easily found out.

Dottore naturally learned of this news, but he wouldn't be stupid enough to intercept and kill Gu Chen directly.

He still had many plans and had to seek stability.

Gu Chen's speed was very fast. With the blessing of powerful blood energy, he moved across the earth as if flying, and in the blink of an eye, he was thousands of meters away.

This trip had two purposes.

One was to normally patrol the land of Mondstadt, and the second was to help Dottore find a burial ground.

Unfortunately, many places in Mondstadt had very beautiful scenery.

"It's a pity to give such a beautiful place to Dottore as a burial ground." Gu Chen sighed.

He was now standing on the edge of a cliff. Ahead was a huge basin, the royal capital built during the time of the God of Storms, Decarabian. Now, it was only broken spires.

Towering into the clouds.

In the rolling clouds, there seemed to be some creature inhabiting it.

Gu Chen's perception was very keen; he could even hear the faint breathing coming from the clouds.

【Dvalin】: Holy crap, why did the Sect Leader come to my house? (Paimon? Surprised)

【Azhdaha】: Why, brother, are you sweating? (Funny)

【Tartaglia】: With Mr. Gu Chen's current strength, fighting Dvalin is definitely not a problem. I don't know if Dvalin was bewitched by the Abyss Order during this period. If he was, then he's definitely sweating.

【Osial】: Give him a fierce beating, and the Dragon of the East will return directly. Then there will be nothing for the Traveler to do. (Funny)

【Lumine】: It's still a question of whether I'm in this version. (Spread hands)

【Paimon】: I feel like even if we have a part, we'll probably just be tools. (Spread hands)

【Venti】: Looks like you understand very well! (Funny)

"Dragon of the East?"

As a high-ranking member of the Knights, Gu Chen was naturally qualified to come into contact with some ancient books and the like.

He knew even more about the Four Winds.

He had long known all the information about the Dragon of the East; he just happened to come here.

Without disturbing the Dragon of the East, Gu Chen turned and left.

A few days later, Gu Chen returned to the Knights of Favonius.

"How was it?" Varka asked eagerly.

"Unfortunately, I couldn't bear to use those places with beautiful scenery as Dottore's burial ground."

"After thinking it over."

Gu Chen pointed to a place on the map and said: "Throwing him into the sea to feed the fish is not a bad choice."

"Wonderful!"

Varka nodded.

"When shall we act?" Varka asked.

Gu Chen thought about it and said: "Without a good scapegoat, it's not easy to do this."

"How about Eroch?" Varka asked with a smile.

"Eroch?" Gu Chen raised an eyebrow.

Varka nodded and said seriously: "After your reminder, I found that Eroch is a bit strange. I had Kaeya investigate him in secret, and there is an 80% probability that this person has betrayed the Knights!"

"Oh?"

Gu Chen raised an eyebrow: "I didn't expect there to be a traitor among the high-ranking members."

"Who would have thought?"

Varka smiled helplessly and then said: "The Knights discovered Eroch's anomaly, verified that Eroch betrayed the Knights, and joined forces with Fatui Harbinger Dottore to seize the Knights' top-secret cultivation method. Vice Grand Master Gu Chen will kill Dottore!"

"Reasonable!" Gu Chen nodded.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Varka raised an eyebrow.

"In such a hurry, not letting him enjoy the world for two more days?" Gu Chen laughed while preparing to go out.

"Isn't it a waste to let a beast enjoy good things?"

Varka also stood up with a smile.

He was not at ease with Gu Chen dealing with Dottore alone.

"But there is one problem." Gu Chen stopped, stood still, and asked: "What if Dottore is insane enough to drag the citizens of Mondstadt down with him?"

"Lure him out of the city!" Varka said.

"In that case, call Diluc over."

Gu Chen ordered the guards, and Diluc soon arrived.

Closing the door, Gu Chen said: "We're preparing to deal with Dottore soon. How about using the Dawn Winery to do this?"

"Okay!" Diluc answered without hesitation.

"There might be significant losses then." Gu Chen reminded.

Diluc shook his head upon hearing this: "It doesn't matter. It's just a little property loss. Solving a major threat is completely worth it!"

"The Knights will find a way to compensate later."

Gu Chen nodded and then said: "Then it's settled. On the day of Diluc's coming-of-age ceremony, the probability of Dottore going is very high. The Knights will be empty then. I guess he himself will go to the Dawn Winery to attend the ceremony, while some Fatui will sneak in here to look for some secrets. Even if it's not body-refining, they are probably quite interested in some secrets."

"Dottore is a smart man; don't let him find out." Varka reminded.

"I guess he probably knows what I'm thinking." Gu Chen smiled indifferently: "Whether he knows or not, with his inherent arrogance, even if he knows, he will still go!"
