Chapter 79

In fact, Jean had long wanted Noelle to learn not to live for others.

Her behavior of disregarding herself for others was very dangerous and abnormal.

Once, Noelle broke into the snowy mountains alone to rescue an adventurer, braving the storm for a full half-day before finding the guy who was about to freeze to death. Starving and cold, she finally managed to bring the other person out of the snowy mountains.

Afterward, she collapsed from exhaustion and had a high fever for three full days; fortunately, everything was safe in the end.

In order not to let Noelle fall into danger, Jean and everyone in the Knights had to "invent" some safe work to give her, avoiding contact with danger.

Now that Noelle had personally proposed to temporarily resign, Jean would not only not stop her but would instead praise her greatly.

So much so that she didn't even ask when she would return, telling her to relax for a longer period.

Seeing that Acting Grand Master Jean was so easy to talk to and encouraged her to work hard, Noelle felt embarrassed instead.

"Then… then I'll leave first."

"Mm, go ahead."

Watching Noelle leave lightly with a smile, Jean returned to her work state.

…………

Knights of Favonius headquarters!

Until Noelle left, Luo Li didn't understand what she went to do.

After testing many knights and slacking off as usual, he planned to return to his manor leisurely.

But while passing through the Anemo Archon Plaza, he saw many Fatui questioning passersby, and he didn't know what they were up to; in his impression, it seemed there wasn't this scene.

Luo Li glanced at them and withdrew his gaze, not interested in these things.

On the other side.

Discovering that others were looking at them like fools again, saying they hadn't seen the back in the picture, Fatui members Daryel and Boris sighed, feeling very tired, and let the passersby leave.

"No, it would be strange if this could be found!"

Daryel had gone from the anger of being despised at the beginning to being numb now.

Boris was powerless about this; this was an order issued from above. Let alone the two of them as ordinary personnel, even Fatui diplomats Mikhail and Lyudmila had to put in effort.

It was said that Fatui attaché Anastasia was also asking many high-ranking officials in Mondstadt.

"Forget it, keep looking. It would be troublesome if we can't find him."

Boris had lingering fears; this was an order personally issued by the Harbinger. If there were no results, he was afraid his future life wouldn't be very happy.

It seemed he had had similar experiences, otherwise he wouldn't be so cautious.

Daryel sighed and echoed. Just as Boris was about to find the next person, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a certain back in the Anemo Archon Plaza.

He had a subconscious jolt and instantly compared the drawing in his hand with it.

"Like… too like! Daryel, I think I found him!"

Daryel hurriedly looked in the direction of his companion's gaze.

Watching Luo Li's receding back, the two were afraid they had made a mistake, comparing it several times until they confirmed they hadn't misidentified him.

That extraordinary temperament, and the image that could be felt even if it was blurry, were exactly the same.

Ordinary people couldn't imitate it at all, which was why they could persistently pursue the questioning. During this period, bold imposters were weeded out immediately.

Feeling they had made a great contribution, the two divided the work: one went to search for information on who that person was, and the other hurriedly reported the news.

This was a great contribution that could enter the eyes of Signora; if it were snatched away by someone else, wouldn't they regret it until their intestines turned green?

Thinking of this, the two hurriedly took action.

…………

Secret Fatui stronghold!

Playing with the Gnosis in her hand and listening to the flattery of her subordinates below, Signora didn't feel happy at all.

If it were before, if she had successfully seized the Gnosis from the Anemo Archon, she would definitely have been proud of herself.

But knowing that a person similar to Luo Li existed, even the achievement brought by completing the mission couldn't cover up her anxiety.

Unconsciously tossing the Gnosis, Signora's expression was indifferent. The subordinates discovered that their superior seemed indifferent to the flattery, so their voices gradually lowered.

You look at me, I look at you, and none of them could figure out what was going on.

Wasn't this a moment to celebrate?

This unspeakable silence wasn't broken until Boris rushed into the stronghold without stopping, shouting loudly.

"Harbinger! Found him! I found him!"

The Fatui guard standing in the hall stepped out, just wanting to reprimand him—what kind of place is this that allows you to shout here?!

Before the words were even spoken, he was slapped away by the awakened Signora, falling to the side and fainting. Others hurriedly withdrew the steps they had just taken.

Everyone felt lucky that they reacted slowly, otherwise the one injured would have been themselves.

Staring fixedly at Boris, Signora leaned forward, waiting for his answer; this impatience was obvious.

Thinking that if the answer wasn't satisfactory, his fate might be even worse than that of the brother just now.

Boris swallowed his saliva, only able to pray that he hadn't misidentified him.

"Reporting to the Harbinger, the person you are looking for has been found. Through my persistent searching, I learned that his name is Luo Li."

The moment she heard this name, Signora knew her guess was correct, and the nervousness in her heart dissipated in an instant.

He really wasn't dead. Also, it was right; there couldn't be a second person in heaven or on earth who could be so like him.

Boris had originally wanted to wait for the Harbinger to ask, but who knew he would see tears suddenly gushing from the corners of Signora's eyes like broken threads, but what was surprising was that the corners of her mouth were hooked into an incomparably joyful smile.

"Is this sadness or grief?!"

Boris secretly slandered, and together with other Fatui personnel, he looked at his nose and heart, pretending not to see it. It was the first time he had seen Signora so moved.

It was hard to imagine that Signora, who was as cold as ice, would have a day when her emotions burst forth.
