Chapter 148: Lumine: You are all surrounded by me!
The strength displayed by this thing in the hands of its original owner was simply unrivaled.
Eula might not be able to reach that height for the time being, but after training, it was not impossible to drink it all.
By then, it would not be strange even if she possessed strength rivaling an Archon.
Believing that Hearing Luo Li would not lie to her, although Eula regretted not getting a promise from him, she knew when to stop.
"Since you want me to be Noelle's sparring partner, rather than running back and forth, it's better if I stay here temporarily; it's more convenient."
Eula took the initiative to propose the reason for staying as if nothing had happened, but looking at her, it was clear that her intention was not in the wine.
Hearing Luo Li naturally could not refuse; he had been thinking about how to make Eula stay, but had not expected the other party to anticipate it a step ahead.
"Fine, let's do that."
Hearing Luo Li agreed casually, too lazy to go upstairs and disturb Raiden Makoto, intending to just curl up with the pillow for a while.
It was estimated that it was only a little past four in the morning, so he had to sleep for at least a few more hours.
With the conversation lost, the room instantly became quiet.
Eula, sitting alone, did not feel uncomfortable; resting her chin on one hand on her thigh, her pale golden beautiful eyes reflected Hearing Hearing Luo Li figure with a color that was hard to describe.
Even just watching quietly like this, the girl still felt a sense of perfect harmony.
As long as she wasn't disturbed, she felt it could last forever.
On the other side!
As the spy candidate on whom high hopes were placed, Lumine sought out Schubert of the Lawrence family early in the morning.
She had observed him for a long time and had a thorough grasp of his behavior and personality.
With the help of the long-planned rhetoric and enthusiastic treating, she gained Schubert's trust in almost less than half a day.
Using her deliberate fawning over her admiration for the past glory of the Lawrence family, she coaxed Schubert until he was high-spirited; with all sorts of sweet talk, he almost didn't know his own name.
"A child who can be taught; I didn't expect that after so long, there would still be someone so loyal to my Lawrence clan. It is a pity and a sigh."
Schubert couldn't praise the girl who was so sensible enough, saying that if the Lawrence family rose to power, she would definitely have a bright and broad future.
When others said this, it was just painting a pie; Schubert was different—he really thought so.
Even Paimon couldn't help but lie on Lumine's ear and mutter.
"Could this person be a fool?!"
Lumine couldn't help but nod silently in agreement; indeed, for such a stupid person to want to collude with the Fatui to subvert Mondstadt and become the old aristocracy that oppressed the people again, one could only say it was wishful thinking.
The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds; for the Fatui to be able to find him, it is estimated that the person in charge of this matter is not much smarter.
Next, even more outrageous things happened.
Lumine originally thought that no matter how much he trusted her, he would have to test her for several days to confirm if there were any problems; she was prepared for a protracted war.
As a result, the next day Schubert personally took her to see the Fatui, intending to discuss the details of the uprising, including the city defense maps of various places in the city.
Lumine was directly stunned; is this person so straightforward?
In a daze, she followed Schubert to a secret stronghold of the Fatui outside the city.
During the process, the Fatui were originally wary of her identity and intended to stop her.
Who knew that Schubert actually scolded the collaborators, feeling that they were not giving him face.
How could the person he brought have any problems? To question her was to look down on him.
With no other choice, the Fatui had to let Lumine enter the depths of the stronghold together; the process was incredibly smooth.
"Next, as long as we get the evidence of their collusion, the matter will be a success!"
Listening to Paimon's soft muttering, Lumine nodded gently.
She was even considering whether to postpone the time to explore the Abyss Order with Dainsleif; she didn't expect the progress to be so rapid.
Not long after, the two followed a Fatui to the end.
There, a Fatui envoy was waiting patiently; seeing Lumine made him frown, but fortunately, he didn't say anything.
"Did you bring the things?"
To avoid accidents, the envoy started the negotiation straightforwardly.
Schubert gave a cold hum, took out a scroll from his pocket, waved it, and said: "It's all here, but you must agree to the conditions I want first."
"Easy to say, our interests are consistent; once the Lawrence family controls Mondstadt, we don't care what you do, and the guard and military aspects can be completely handed over to us."
Schubert was very satisfied with this point; he only needed to provide intelligence information, and the specific actions would be carried out by the Fatui.
There was no need to take any risks at all; he would win lying down the whole way.
As for failure?
Schubert didn't consider it at all; with the strength of Snezhnaya, even if it failed, what could Mondstadt do?
No matter how you think about it, it's a huge profit...
"The signed contract is here; let's sign it after we verify the authenticity of the map."
The Fatui envoy's eyebrows relaxed, revealing a reserved and satisfied smile.
This is a great merit; if successful, then Her Excellency the Lady Harbinger will definitely reward him.
During this, Lumine and Paimon were watching silently from behind.
"It's time to notify the people in ambush to come in."
Following Paimon's reminder, Lumine instantly took off the mask on her face, then took out the bone whistle she had prepared in advance and blew it.
The Fatui envoy and Schubert were stunned for a moment, and then they saw Lumine draw her Dull Blade and say righteously: "You people have already been surrounded by me! Hurry up and surrender!"
Fatui envoy: "???"
Schubert: "???"
The surrounding Fatui guards were even more stunned; good fellow, to dare to turn against them in their own base and say such things, it seems you are tired of living.
Seeing the envoy's cold and reproachful eyes, Schubert was both shocked and angry.
"Good, so you are a spy who approached me deliberately!"
"With your brain, it's better to just honestly be an aristocratic parasite."
Lumine swore that her words absolutely did not carry any sarcasm, but were serious advice.
As for whether Schubert could accept it, she didn't know.
Obviously, he could not remain calm in the face of sarcasm, and immediately clamored for the Fatui to help clean up the traitor.
The envoy looked at him coldly, feeling some regret in his heart; why did he pick such an idiot at the beginning?
But regardless, he must solve this person now; he cannot let the news spread.
"People outside, block the passage; don't let her escape!"
Unfortunately, just as this thought arose in his mind, an accident happened.
As soon as the words fell, a group of people did indeed rush in, but they were not the Fatui's subordinates.
But a group of Knights of Favonius.
Kaeya, who was at the head, clapped his hands with a smile, "Traveler, well done; this time I really have to thank you properly."
Afterward, he didn't even look at the pale-faced Schubert and immediately ordered people to take action.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Fatui envoy immediately led a group of people away through the secret passage.
