Chapter 201

"Oh, I suppose the Windblade Knights took credit for the great merit, and you're feeling uneasy about it."

Lisa's face wore an expression of amusement.

But Jean's Solemn expression made her hesitate for a moment, and she quickly changed her tone to ask, "Jean, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing. We of the Dandelion Knight Squad will not compete with the Windblade Knights over honor."

"We will only learn from them, who are more excellent than us."

"Go on, tell me what exactly happened."

That knight, having received Jean's permission, swallowed hard and continued speaking.

"While the Windblade Knights were fighting the Demon Dragon Ursa, they were attacked from behind by Beast Realm Hounds."

"Some knights were killed or injured."

"Then, just as everything had stabilized, Inspector Ilok appeared with his men and subtly mocked the Windblade Knights for their disarray..."

"He also said..."

"He stepped on the corpse of a certain deceased knight and claimed that Grand Master Lawrence allowing his people and the lower-class citizens of Mondstadt to form an independent knight regiment was a desecration of knighthood."

"And then..."

As he spoke these words, the reporting knight's eyes became unsteady and wandering.

Jean instantly anxiously demanded, "And then what happened?"

This resonant roar startled the reporting knight.

He stammered, "Grand Master Su Bai, in a fit of rage, chopped off the head of my lord Ilok."

Jean: "!!!"

Lisa: "!!!"

Angel's Share.

Upon hearing that the Demon Dragon Ursa had been killed, Diluc's eyes suddenly became sharp.

If he had not heard wrongly.

In his past life, before the coming-of-age ceremony began, Su Bai Lawrence had already killed Ursa.

Speaking of which, his father would not have died in Ursa's hands on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony while protecting him.

Jean: "Ilok... was killed by Su Bai Lawrence?"

Kaeya: "Uh, just as feared, the crime of killing an Inspector is no small offense."

Lisa: "Oh dear, youthful recklessness, a bit too impulsive, wasn't it?"

Diluc: "Hmph! Ilok? I have the right to suspect that the Beast Realm Hounds were led there by him while the Windblade Knights were fighting Ursa."

Kamisato Ayaka: "Even Diluc of Mondstadt does not trust the people of Mondstadt?"

Venti: "....."

Diluc: "No, I simply do not trust knight high officials like Ilok."

Yuan Shang: "Shouldn't he have been killed? I actually think Su Ye chopped him up well."

Furina: "Exactly, exactly. The Windblade Knights were doing the work, while that bastard Inspector was causing trouble for them from behind; he deserved to die."

Varka: "Uh, did Ilok just die like that?"

Alice: "Stop pretending. Isn't your goal to clean up people like him?"

Barbados: "What a clever move of using another's knife to kill, Grand Master..."

Barbara: "Eh? Why are you all speaking of the Grand Master as if he were a villain? The Grand Master is not that kind of person, is he?"

Varka: "I certainly am not that kind of person. Who could have thought that young Su Bai Lawrence would actually chop off Ilok's head?"

After the incident of Ilok's killing broke out.

Su Bai, as the killer, was temporarily imprisoned.

The knights of the Windblade Knights were temporarily confined to the Knights' headquarters and could not move freely.

In Mondstadt City, discussions about Su Bai Lawrence reached an all-time peak.

"Good heavens, did he really kill my lord Ilok?"

"Hmph! Just Lawrence's people; their ambition being exposed is only a matter of time."

"Hey, you can't say that. What's wrong with the Grand Master of the Windblade Knights being Lawrence? It is true that he killed the Demon Dragon Ursa, isn't it?"

"Moreover, we heard long ago that the Windblade Knights are an independent regiment detached from the Favonius Knights, with all command authority fully entrusted to Su Bai. Ilok is the Inspector of the Favonius Knights; he had nothing better to do than go to the Windblade Knights to seek attention, so his death was meaningless."

"What did you say? You spineless fellow, have you forgotten the terror of being dominated by Lawrence a thousand years ago?"

"What does it have to do with me? How long have I been in Mondstadt? Also, what does it have to do with you? Your ancestor from a thousand years ago was from Inazuma."

"You..."

"Many native Mondstadters from a thousand years ago have not yet made any statements; why are you barking here? What does it have to do with you?"

Favonius Knights Headquarters.

Grand Master Varka, troubled, constantly rubbed his head.

The woman before him who had come to collect a debt made him bitterly miserable.

"Varka, you're quite something."

Alice sat on the sofa, arms crossed, seething with anger: "I asked you to keep an eye on my disciple, and you made a very clever plan."

"Let him form an independent regiment, using his hand to help you clean up trouble?"

"Good, very good."

Alice, agitated, stood up again and paced back and forth in Varka's office.

She had probably already understood the detailed situation; the corpse that Ilok stepped on this time was precisely a certain little fan of Su Bai from the Windblade Knights.

Combining this with Barbados's previous speculation.

The Su Bai Society will die because of a member of the opposite sex.

Alice involuntarily connected all the events together.

The Su Bai Society was sentenced to death after murdering the Inspector in rage, following the dishonorable death of a knight from the Divine Wind Knights.

Thinking of this, Alice lost her composure slightly, walked to Falgar's desk, and slammed her palm down on it.

"Falgar, he handled the things you couldn't do yourself."

"He was implicated because of this. I don't care how you do it, but at the very least, you must save his life."

"If you intend to kick away the ladder after climbing up, I won't let you off easily."

Use up Su Bai and then abandon him?

First ask the bombs in my hands if they'll allow it.

Yet Alice's words instantly pierced Falgar.

Falgar's expression darkened, and he spoke slowly: "Alice, I think you've gotten something wrong."

"That child has always been under my care."

Chapter 115: Jean: Shit, I'm about to become a golden-haired loser.

Falgar's words left Alice stunned.

Looking at his gloomy expression.

It didn't seem like he was joking with her.

Falgar's temper also seemed on the verge of exploding.

He rose in anger and paced back and forth in the office.

"You are indeed his Master."

"But what have you actually done?"

"Do you remember what you said the first time he came to me because of you?"

"You said you reluctantly took on a Laurens' apprentice."

"Alice, you said you took him in reluctantly because Su Bai's luck unexpectedly blocked you on the Dragon Spine–Snowy Mountains."

"You reluctantly took him as your disciple."

Falgar had never felt this irritated before.

He walked back and forth.

He began dredging up old grievances with the equally furious Alice.

"Have you ever considered that if he hadn't received a Fire Vision back then, he would have frozen to death on the Dragon Spine–Snowy Mountains?"
