"Haven't you found out yet? That guy who dared to poison the Fatui."
Goethe Grand Hotel, The Lady stared at the Agent kneeling in front of her, and asked with a face full of frost.
"I'm... I'm very sorry. I've tried my best to investigate the cause during this period, but I can't find any clues, whether it's from the Knights of Favonius or other places."
In order to find out the reason as soon as possible and give The Lady an explanation, he even investigated the members within the Fatui, after all, he couldn't rule out the possibility that someone inside did it.
But after investigating, he found that almost all the Fatui members who lived in the Goethe Grand Hotel had diarrhea that day. It was impossible for the person who poisoned them to poison themselves as well.
Even if they were to do it, it should be a milder version, but this time the victims were all very serious, and basically made their bodies very weak. Could it be that the person who poisoned them underestimated the laxative they prepared? It's impossible for someone to be so stupid.
The Lady looked at the Agent with extreme dissatisfaction, and with a wave of her right hand, the Agent immediately turned into a sculpture, and then turned into pieces and scattered on the ground.
This scene frightened the Electro Cicin Mage next to her. Although she usually acted crazy, she wasn't a fool. This scene was scary enough.
"Dispose of the garbage, and then let the other Agent investigate the clues."
"Yes."
The Electro Cicin Mage quickly left the room to prepare a broom to clean up the ice shards on the ground, leaving only The Lady sitting on the chair in the room.
[Gurgle ~]
Suddenly, the violent movement from her stomach made The Lady's already pale skin even paler.
She didn't expect... she didn't expect that even she would be affected by this incident. The Lady almost used the power given to her by the Queen when she thought of the humiliation of staying in the toilet all day.
Something's not right, there's definitely something wrong!
The Lady knew her constitution very well. Not to mention ordinary laxatives, even strong laxatives shouldn't have any effect on her.
Her constitution was there, not to mention that she also had the two powers of Vision and Delusion. Ordinary toxins couldn't harm her at all.
But The Lady was so seriously affected this time, which means that the poison used this time was no ordinary toxin. It is very likely that it was applied by a powerful being, such as... a God?
But... is that possible? She hasn't heard of any other Gods in Mondstadt. Even Liyue, the place with the most Gods, has either been destroyed, driven Outside the Dark Sea, or sealed by the Geo Archon.
It should be impossible for there to be a God in Mondstadt. If there was, there would definitely be relevant rumors.
But she hasn't heard any rumors at all. Does Mondstadt have any hidden Gods? If there really is, what were those people from Snezhnaya doing while investigating other countries?
At this time, Electro Cicin Mage had already returned with the broom, preparing to sweep away the debris on the ground.
"You... go and collect information about the Gods that have appeared in Mondstadt in the past."
"Yes."
If there really is a hidden God in Mondstadt, has the Fatui's actions been noticed by the other party?
Is this encounter a way for the other party to express their dissatisfaction? If the Fatui are still preparing to put pressure on Mondstadt, is the other party still planning to do something?
Although she doesn't know the identity of this God, no matter what the other party's identity is, she is an envoy from Snezhnaya, a Harbinger of the Fatui. Any existence that hinders their actions will be eliminated.
In a place that The Lady didn't notice, a few bird were standing on the branches outside the open window, observing The Lady and recording every word she said.
Rosaria, who had returned to Mondstadt, was very helpless because she found that the dark circles under her eyes were gone.
The dark circles under her eyes, which were so dark before, disappeared after a few hours of sleep. How did Durandal do it?
Logically speaking, eliminating dark circles of that degree should be a happy thing for a girl, but she can't be happy.
Usually, she can strengthen her threat by using dark circles under her eyes, but now that the dark circles are gone, as a beautiful girl with a figure that is no less than Jean's, she attracts more attention than before.
This is not conducive to some of her future actions. Although she is very sorry for Durandal's kindness, she cannot accept such a gift.
There is no way, Rosaria can only take out the cosmetics that she has never used before and put on makeup in front of the mirror.
She doesn't want to make herself beautiful, but to use makeup to restore the dark circles under her eyes to her face.
After all, no one stipulates that cosmetics can only be used to make yourself more beautiful, right?
"This is fine. Next, I should go and observe the movements of the Fatui. Hmm?"
Rosaria, who was about to go out, noticed a Bird falling on the window. It was given to her by Durandal for contact purposes.
"What? Does Durandal have something to do with me?"
The bird shook its head. It flapped its wings and chirped. Although it wasn't human language, Rosaria could barely understand some of it.
"You mean... you can help me complete the task of observing the Fatui, right?"
The bird was overjoyed when it heard this and jumped in place, not looking like a Bird at all, which made Rosaria suspect that it had also received a gift from Durandal.
But the bird's suggestion is very good. Sometimes Rosaria can eavesdrop on other people's conversations by hiding in the corner, but doing so is easy to be discovered by those sensitive people... like Durandal this time.
The bird's aura is very weak. If you don't observe carefully, you won't notice it at all. Even if you notice a few bird standing on the trees next to you while you are talking about confidential matters, would you care?
Thinking that she, who was fighting alone, suddenly had a good helper, Rosaria couldn't help but show a beautiful smile.
"Then... the task of spying on information is entrusted to you, my good partner."
Rosaria stretched out her index finger, and the bird gently placed its head on her index finger, while chirping a few times, telling Rosaria not to forget its food. It doesn't work for free.
This cute request made Rosaria laugh. This was the first time she had heard of such cheap conditions.
Looking at the bird gradually flying away, Rosaria suddenly thought of Timmie, who had been feeding the bird at the gate of Mondstadt. Will her partner... be poisoned?
Cape Oath, Durandal spent a day collecting a lot of ingredients near Mondstadt, preparing to make some new food.
During her production process, a breeze brushed past her. Without thinking, she knew that Barbatos was here.
Durandal didn't take it too seriously at first. This guy has been coming over a little too often recently, appearing in this form without saying hello every time. She's used to it.
When she took the time to glance at her, Barbatos's state almost made her drop the spoon in her hand.
What's going on? Barbatos didn't appear in front of her in the form of a Damselette as usual, but appeared as a loli, looking about the same size as Klee, sitting on the ground, holding her face in her hands, and looking at herself with a smile.
"Sister Durandal, when will dinner start?"
A very bright smile. If someone who didn't know her saw it, they would definitely think she was a good Children.
But Durandal is too familiar with Barbatos. This guy appeared in front of her in this way, obviously wanting to imitate Klee to gain her favor.
She took a deep breath. This Moryanos who doesn't do her job properly and only focuses on these crooked ways must be taught a lesson.
"You... are really idle, Barbatos. In that case, you should take a good rest, but only inside my stomach."
"Eh? Stomach?"
Before Barbatos could react, she saw Durandal opening her mouth in a very unscientific way, as if it were a famous scene from a certain upperclassman, and directly swallowed Barbatos whole.
Swallowing it was fine, but Durandal's appearance was not affected in any way. She was just like her usual loli appearance, except that Barbatos's cries for mercy were heard from her stomach from time to time.
"I was wrong! I was really wrong! I shouldn't have had bad intentions. Please forgive me, Durandal. It's so dark here, I can't see anything."
Durandal didn't plan to let Barbatos go so early. She kept her inside for more than ten minutes, and only opened her mouth when she felt it was about time and released her from her stomach.
Barbatos, who had escaped from her stomach, sat dazedly on the ground. No one could imagine what she had just experienced. She... she was actually eaten?
This is really a novel experience. I didn't expect Durandal's head to open so wide. That should be called the Abyssal Maw.
She touched her body and there was nothing missing, nor was there any saliva or anything like that.
"I didn't expect you to have such an attack method, but in this way, aren't you worried about being attacked from the inside?"
As we all know, the inside of the body is fragile. Even a God can die from being stuck in the throat and unable to breathe, and the same is true for being attacked from the inside.
"Then when you were inside me, did you see any place that could be attacked?" Durandal asked back.
Hmm? Barbatos thought for a while, and it seemed... not really. She was just put in a completely dark place, which was like a space, completely unlike what she knew.
"If I want to, I can completely lock people in a place completely constructed of various deadly Viruss. Do you think anyone can stay there for a few seconds without something happening?"
Hmph, did she really think that her attack was just simply swallowing people into her stomach? She is not some naive Father of the Gods who would foolishly eat a certain Sparra into her stomach, giving the other party a chance to disintegrate herself from the inside.
Her poison is most terrifying when it's inside the body. Although she initially wanted to use this move to eliminate the Adventurer, he was immune to her poison due to Hulder's blessing, so it had no effect. But the people of this world aren't so lucky.
Barbatos gave a few bitter laughs. It seemed he had worried too much. His friend, it seemed, had no weaknesses.
She returned to her original form with a "bang" and approached Durandal again, asking with a grin, "Is that enough? When are we eating, Durandal?"
"Aren't you leaving?"
"How could I? I worked all day in Mondstadt today. The money I earned today isn't even enough for wine, so I can only come here to eat."
"What do you take this place for? A cafeteria?"
"Oh dear~ We're such good friends, just let me freeload this one meal."
"How many times have you freeloaded? Don't go too far, Barbatos."
This slacking Anemo God, she's really... unbearable.
