Chapter 102 The Fools' Plot
Chen Bo raised his hands, adopting a gesture of surrender, his face full of innocence.
"Senior, I'm innocent! I didn't drink a single drop of alcohol."
Chen Bo quickly explained, "This smell of alcohol is all from Luna One."
He pointed to Moon One following behind him and said, "For the wine tasting competition the day after tomorrow, Moon One needs to collect data on all the wines in Mondstadt, so I took her to the tavern and she tried a little of everything. I was just responsible for paying and leading the way."
Chen Bo showed absolutely no signs of being drunk.
Farusan's beautiful brows immediately relaxed.
"Be careful when you're out and about." Her sternness softened, but her concern was even more evident: "If anything happens to you while you're traveling, be sure to let me know. In case anything happens to you, there will be people at home who will be worried about you and will come looking for you."
Chen Bo felt a warmth in his heart and stepped forward with a grin: "I know, I know, I'll definitely inform you in advance next time. If I really drink too much, I'll have to trouble you to come and take me home from the tavern."
"If you go out drinking, remember to tell me, and I'll rush over to take you home."
"Hmph." Farusan gave a soft snort, turned her head away, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. "I can hold my liquor perfectly well, I don't need anyone to pick me up. You can mind your own business."
Although she said that, she felt warm inside.
Just as Chen Bo was about to leave and return to his room, Naxida suddenly grabbed his hand.
Something has happened.
Chen Bo and Falushan were both taken aback.
Then, Chen Bo pulled Naxida into Farusan's room and closed the door.
After closing the door, Naxida sent a video to Chen Bo.
Chen Bo asked Farusan to bring out a large screen, and the three of them filled it up together.
The footage is a bit shaky, clearly taken from a distance, but the content is still quite clear.
The location was a depression near the Wind Dragon Ruins. Several figures dressed in Fool's uniforms were adjusting a strangely shaped giant ballista. The muzzle was aimed at the towering tower in the center of the ruins—Dvalin's lair.
The video had no audio.
Chen Bo frowned: "This is—the footage captured by the telescope I casually left behind to monitor the Fools when I encountered them before?"
"Yes." Nasita nodded. "I've been keeping a close watch on them, and just now, they moved their location, and I intercepted crucial information."
"The Fatui's plan is to attack the resting wind dragon Dvalin, enraging it so that it can attack Mondstadt and ruin the badminton festival."
Looking at the screen, Farusan asked, puzzled, "Why would they do this? What good would it do them to ruin a festival?"
Chen Bo's mind raced, and a thought flashed through his mind, making his heart skip a beat.
"Forced the Wind God to appear."
The Wind God has disappeared. The Fools' goal is simple: to force the Wind God to make a move.
Narcida confirmed his guess, her small face full of seriousness: "Yes, their target is the heart of the wind god Barbatos."
Next, Nasita zoomed in on the dialogue and began to translate it verbally.
"Boss, why are we attacking this wind dragon?"
"The Executor said that the Wind God has been missing for too long. In the past two years, we have searched almost every part of Mondstadt, but we have not been able to find a trace of the Wind God at all."
Another soldier asked hesitantly, "But—Captain, Stormterror was once the guardian of Mondstadt. If we do this, won't Stormterror attack us instead?"
The leader of the Fools replied, "You don't know, Stormterror is no longer the guardian of Mondstadt; the people of Mondstadt have forgotten him."
"On the day of the Badminton Festival banquet, we will wear the Knights' uniforms and lure Stormterror to Mondstadt. The Mondstadt Knights will surely attack Stormterror to protect the guests attending the banquet."
"If the Wind God doesn't want the Knights and the Wind Demon Dragon to fight each other, he has no choice but to show himself. Once the Wind God shows himself, our mission will be complete."
Farusan stared at the screen, her face grim. Although she didn't have any special feelings for the gods of other countries, she felt disgusted by the Fools' ruthless and indifferent behavior towards the safety of the people.
Now, I wonder how many people will get hurt.
Alas, the Fools' plan is so simple and straightforward.
They have to wreak havoc on it; Wendy's Heart of God is mine.
In this matter, the most urgent task is, of course, to inform the Knights.
"Senior, I need to go to the Knights of Favonius immediately." Chen Bo looked at Farusan, "You stay here and wait for my news."
Farusan didn't ask any further questions, simply nodding and reminding everyone, "Be careful."
Chen Bo, carrying Moon One, turned and strode out of the inn, traveling swiftly until he arrived at the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius.
The Knights' headquarters was brightly lit late at night, clearly indicating that Acting Grand Master Jean was working overtime again.
"Thump, thump, thump."
Chen Bo knocked on the door three times in a row.
"Please come in."
A slightly weary voice came from inside the door.
Chen Bo pushed open the door and entered. Qin was the only person in the office. She was surprised to see Chen Bo visiting so late at night.
"Sir, guest from Sumeru? It's so late, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Commander Qin, there's an emergency." Without wasting words, Chen Bo showed Commander Qin the previous footage.
Nasida also provided oral translation at the same time.
Qin's face gradually darkened as the video played.
Qin knew that she had encountered the Fools when she returned from the snow mountain camp, and that this guest from Sumeru had left behind a means to monitor them. She never expected that the Fools' request would be so great.
"Please wait a moment, I'll send someone to fetch Kaia, Lisa, and Abedo—"
Soon, the office door was pushed open again.
Kaiya remained calm and slightly tipsy. Abedo, on the other hand, looked completely at ease, as if he had simply moved from one laboratory to another.
The most eye-catching one is Lisa.
She was still wearing a purple silk nightgown, yawning and complaining lazily, "Oh, my darlings, do you know how terrible it is to disturb a lady's beauty sleep?!"
Qin gestured for everyone to sit down, and then briefly recounted the situation.
When Lisa heard the words "force the wind god to appear" and "seize the heart of the god," her originally sleepy blue eyes became much more serious.
"What a bunch of lunatics!"
Kaeya rested his chin on his hand and sneered, "What a cunning plan to kill two birds with one stone. Using Mondstadt's former guardian to attack Mondstadt and force Mondstadt's current guardian to appear. Whether the Anemo Archon appears or not, Mondstadt will fall into chaos, and they will always find an opportunity to exploit."
Aberdo approached the screen, carefully observing the structure of the giant crossbow. As a master alchemist, his focus was different from others.
