Chapter 145: Simple Counterattack
"Oh? There's no place for me, is there?"
Gu Sanqiu looked at Kaiya with a half-smile.
Was this guy asking me, or was he a little confused and wanted to hear what outsiders thought about this situation.
"Take your Mondstadt for example. If I'm not mistaken, there are still many people who cannot accept the Lawrence family."
"And the reason is not just because they were the rulers of the old aristocracy, am I right?"
"Yes, even now, the Lawrence family is still a big problem in the city, but what's the point of talking about this?"
"Yes, even if the Lawrence family has turned over a new leaf and worked hard for Mondstadt, they still cannot integrate into the civilian population. Do you know why?"
"Because... prejudice passed down from generation to generation?"
"clever."
Gu Sanqiu shrugged: "I'm in Liyue, it's almost the same, it's almost the same as living in a girl's home."
"Everyone is saying that the girl is often exposed to life and death, and coffins, so she has developed that strange personality. They want their children to have less contact with each other."
"As for me, in this age of chasing fame and Mora, my existence is just a symbol. For Liyue itself, perhaps it can be considered a tourist attraction?"
Gu Sanqiu smiled: "But what does it matter?"
"The Gu family and my friend's Wangsheng Hall have been passed down from ancient times to the present day. Is the only value of them today to be used as symbols for their children's education?"
"No, that's not the case. We just don't talk about these things."
"We are nobles in Liyue, but we won't do anything strange with this status. We focus on our family's responsibilities and the hard work of our ancestors."
Gu Sanqiu's eyes were deep : "Our goals and mentality are very stable."
“Be yourself.”
"As for the rest? Those so-called noble dignity and rhetoric are just idiotic behaviors of people who are making trouble for themselves."
Gu Sanqiu was quite confident in saying this. One of his old friends, the dignified Yuhengxing, came from a wealthy family, but the hairpin on his head was rather old.
But the older it gets, the happier Keqing becomes. This is proof that her relationship with the land of Liyue is growing deeper as she travels across it.
"He wears clothes worth millions, is surrounded by people when he travels, sleeps with beauties by his side, and has people to help him get dressed. Is this a noble?"
Gu Sanqiu yawned loudly: "If they think so, then this is what nobility is. It's just some weird imagination."
"Be yourself?"
Kaiya held his chin with his right hand: "Very interesting, if there is a chance, perhaps I can invite you to talk to the Lawrence family?"
"hehe."
Gu Sanqiu rolled his eyes and said, "Don't forget that the reward for this secret realm has not yet been settled. I think it's better for you to worry about this first."
Kaiya grinned. This guy must have seen a lot of things. He was not the kind that could be dealt with by ordinary things.
"Well, Mr. Gu, handsome Mr. Gu, can we discuss this? Can we use 5 million Mora as your reward?"
Gu Sanqiu squinted his eyes and glanced at Kaia: "I will give you 10 million Mora, you go and gather a team for me that can gather incense burners, the high-ranking members of the Knights of Favonius, and the executive officers of the Fatui to go to the secret realm to fight."
How could an invitation issued in the name of a senior state official be the same as something like an "adventure commission" issued with 10 million Mora? Yaya would probably not even pay attention to the latter.
"Let's not talk about this for now."
Gu Sanqiu took out his longbow: "The guys we are waiting for are here."
On the outskirts of Mond City, a group of masked guys are plotting something.
At one moment, they said they wanted to attack the city directly by force, and at another moment, they said they wanted to sneak into the city by flying a cable from the direction of Wine Lake.
In short, their action this time is to show their style and momentum, and to let the people of Mondstadt realize the power of their treasure-stealing group!
"They must still be having a party right now, so rushing in directly is the best option!"
"Idiot! It's because they might be having a party, so we should fly into the city from the direction of Fruit Wine Lake so that we won't encounter more guards. Then we can spread out and get a higher chance of making a lot of money. Do you understand?"
"Is the point of stealing money this time? Isn't our focus to build a reputation for the treasure-stealing group?"
"No need to waste your time."
Eula's cold voice rang out: "Because this time, you are destined not to leave here alive."
"Everyone, surround them!"
"Damn it, they're from the Knights!"
"Why are they here? Has our whereabouts been revealed?"
"Damn it, is this a trap? Aren't those idiots from the Lawrence family and the Knights of Favonius always at odds with each other?"
"Idiot from the Lawrence family?"
Eula tightly grasped her weapon: "Very good, I will remember this grudge!"
"attack!"
"Fight them!"
In a flash, the battle started, but how could the treasure-stealing group be a match for the Knights of Favonius, not to mention that this was a complete counter-ambush and counter-encirclement where they were well-rested!
"The war has begun. I must participate in such an interesting thing~"
Gu Sanqiu laughed loudly, and a green element flashed slightly on his right hand. He drew his bow, aimed at the combat zone, and quickly shot three arrows!
The arrows pierced through the chests of several treasure-hunting group members with sharp sounds, saving several knights whose movements were slowed down by the ice element bottles, and also increased the panic in the opposing camp!
"Scout Knight, is this their Scout Knight taking action?!"
"Damn it! Run! The mission has failed. Run as many as you can! Go!"
"Aren't you going to chase after him?"
Watching the treasure-stealing group and the knights disappear, Kaiya looked at Gu Sanqiu.
"Weren't you quite excited just now?"
"I'm waiting, still waiting for the main event. Those guys in the treasure-stealing group are nothing."
Gu Sanqiu raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "What I'm waiting for is a big fish."
boom!
At this moment, a violent explosion was heard from the other side, and a fiery red light shone in the black night sky.
"Can it be a monster that can make such a noise?"
Gu Sanqiu nodded, then jumped off the city wall and replaced the longbow in his hand with a spear.
Kaiya also jumped down. Today he did not pay attention to whether his brother received the angel's gift, but the red light in the night sky gave him some bad associations.
"It's very likely a monster, but this should be the noise made by someone fighting a monster."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "You are the captain of Mond's cavalry, so you should know the existence of the Dark Night Hero."
"Oh? Could it be that he is Mr. Gu's prey this time?"
"Not really. The sneak attacks by monsters and treasure-stealing group members were expected, but the appearance of the Dark Night Hero was just a possibility. I just wanted to see who this guy is."
Kaia breathed a sigh of relief.
"But don't you think that the title of Dark Night Hero is a bit off-base? Is it possible that this guy has a problem with his taste?"
…
Hahahaha!
Kaiya forced himself to hold back his laughter: "Maybe, maybe the true identity of the Dark Night Hero is a frivolous guy?"
