Chapter 319: Doctor: I have a backup plan
The bright sunshine shone on the streets and alleys of Mondstadt. Ye Li happily ate wild mushroom and chicken skewers, holding a drink prepared by the top bartender of the Cat's Tail Tavern. Life was so comfortable.
Sitting at the table of the Deer Hunter Restaurant, Ye Li looked at the serious-looking Diona Kitten in front of him, put down the drink in his hand helplessly, took out a recipe for the ultimate bitter melon juice and placed it on the table, saying seriously:
"This is the formula we agreed upon. Let me make it clear first. I am not a liar. I swear to Lord Yan."
Seeing the amount of bitter gourds needed for the recipe in Ye Li's hand, Diona's eyes suddenly lit up. She didn't care at all about what Ye Li said about him not being a liar. She raised her tail high and said:
"Why haven't I thought of using bitter ingredients to mix drinks? If so, can I pour all irrelevant things into the wine, so that I can mix the most unpalatable wine? Ye Li, thank you for your inspiration. I will give you a 50% discount when you come to the tavern to mix drinks in the future."
Watching the little girl jumping and running into the tavern next door with the recipe in hand, Ye Li picked up the drink and drank it. Then he turned around and smiled at a passing drunkard and said:
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Wendy, the bard? What a coincidence to meet you here."
"Hey, it's been a few days since I last saw you, Brother Yeli. You and Youla really hurt me last time. I had to wash dishes for two days to pay off the wine debt I owed you."
"Since you're sleeping rough every day, I've found you a temporary job with food and lodging provided. How about that? Drinking dandelion wine for those two days will make you feel refreshed."
Ye Li teased Wendy, but he still avoided the question by saying "ah hey".
"Hey~ Let's not talk about these irrelevant things for now, Brother Ye Li, you should have noticed the recent actions of the Knights."
Wendy came to Ye Li's side without any tone, patted Ye Li's shoulder and said mysteriously:
"I heard that the Knights are trying to capture a wanted criminal who stole secrets recently. The reward is 10 Mora. If we are lucky enough and catch him, we won't have to worry about drinking anymore."
"How can ordinary people like us take care of the affairs of the Knights? Don't worry about such things."
Ye Li took two steps back, and shook his head helplessly when he smelled the alcohol on Wendy. Then he took out a pill from his pocket and said:
"Here, hangover pills."
"Hey, why are you so polite? Do you want me to play a song for you?"
Using a tactful approach, Wendy did not refuse Ye Li's hangover pill. She reached out and took it directly, putting it into her mouth. Then the smell of alcohol on her body disappeared and she returned to normal.
……
In a hotel somewhere in Mond, a lady looked at the masked doctor in front of her with a cold face. The ice elements around her began to condense, as if they would solidify into angular ice crystals in the next second and pierce the doctor's body.
"Tell me! Why are you cooperating with the Lawrence family? Don't you know how much impact this will have on our plan?"
"Calm down, ma'am. I have my reasons for doing this, and it will be of great help to our plan. This just happens to attract most of the attention of the Knights."
The doctor spoke calmly, with a faint red light flashing in his eyes, and then he raised the corner of his mouth and said:
"And I have a backup plan. The guys from the Knights won't be able to find evidence or anything like that. You should be very clear about my abilities."
As the doctor finished speaking, an ice cone pierced his arm. The bright red blood was frozen before it could flow out, but the face under the mask still raised a nonchalant smile.
The lady withdrew her outstretched hand, her cold eyes carrying a forbidden fire, and she said in a cold voice:
"This is a warning not to repeat it. If you cause trouble again, you will be reduced to ashes like the other slices."
After the lady finished speaking, she turned and left, with no intention of staying.
The doctor watched the door being heavily closed, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a hint of madness.
"Hahaha! Interesting. I didn't expect the Knights to react so quickly. But it's impossible to get evidence from Lawrence. Anyone who took that bottle of magic potion should have died within the next two days."
The doctor sneered repeatedly, but he was not careless. He directly called his trusted subordinates, assigned him a task and gave him the task.
……
On the border of Mondstadt, within the territory of Dawn Winery.
Diluk walked out of the basement with a cold look in his eyes. He looked at the sunlight pouring in through the window of the house. He was holding the body of a certain Lud Lawrence who had died suddenly in his hand and cremated it directly.
The scorching flames left not even ash on the corpses. Diluk immediately rushed to Wolf Ridge, with flaming red wings extending from his back, carrying the hero of the dark night to fly in the broad daylight.
Arriving at a hilltop in Benlang Ridge, Diruk split a round stone on the hilltop with a sword and found a passage from the crack.
Walking through the long stairs in the passage, Diluk saw many miserable skeletons and a few remaining bottles of demon potions.
Looking at the reports and order evidence on a table, Diluk's eyes flashed coldly, but he suppressed it and turned to the uninvited guest and said:
"Come out, I've seen you."
"As expected of you, you're the one who caused the bloody storm in the winter. I didn't expect that you would find me even though I was hiding so deeply."
At this moment, a Fatui dressed as a debt collector walked out from the shadows indifferently, with two daggers with lightning in his hands showing his elemental power. It was obvious that he had no good intentions.
"I didn't expect that an elite member like you would show up during the diplomatic situation between Mondstadt and Solstice. Do you mean to start a war?"
"No, no, no, Mr. Diluk misunderstood. I came here just to clear up some trouble, but unfortunately, I met you."
"Since you're already here, why don't you leave the information behind before you go?"
"Hey, why are you so impatient? Do you want to try out the new technology of Winter Solstice?"
The debt collector spoke in a helpless tone, and then lightning filled his body. He dodged the flying knife thrown by Diluk at an extremely fast speed. Even the explosion did not affect the debt collector.
Diluk raised his foot to the right with a vigilant look and successfully hit one of the debt collector's hands, causing him to pause in his attack, and then he chopped down with his sword.
The lightning flashed with difficulty, and the debt collector narrowly escaped this disaster. His eyes flashed with surprise under the mask, and his tone became solemn:
"It seems that I underestimated you, but you won't be so lucky next time."
The debt collector's eyes became fierce, and lightning was everywhere around him. It was obvious that he wanted to destroy the evidence. Diluk would naturally not let him succeed.
The collision of fire and lightning will produce an overload reaction. Diluk naturally will not use fire to resist when the lightning covers such a large area. He can only solve the problem faster than the opponent.
Diluk stomped his feet heavily on the ground, and the cracks in the ground extended and burst open like a spider web. The extreme sound of breaking through the air tore through the air, and the buzzing sound disappeared in an instant, replaced by the screams of the challenger and the sound of burning flames.
