Chapter 128: The long-lost news

Mondstadt, in the western garrison area of ​​the city, an ordinary small Mondstadt-style residential building at the end of the street.

This two-story building with a pointed roof and red brick tiles is where Eula lives. It is not far from the headquarters of the Knights Templar, making it a good place to report to the headquarters and take on missions immediately.

Since she cut off contact with her family, she rented a house in the area where she was stationed.

Later, she bought the small building with the award from the Knights Templar for her own strength.

Although as the captain of the Knights Templar's "Guerrilla Squad", Eula often needs to go out for long-term patrol missions, she does not actually live here often.

But this is where she rests after every mission when she is physically and mentally exhausted.

It was also the place where Amber and Eula would occasionally invite her to spend the night when they played too late during their free time.

So, Amber is no stranger to this place.

When Amber saw that the table in the living room was empty and the bedding in the room was neatly folded, she realized that Eula did not come home yesterday afternoon.

They bought so many things when they went shopping, how could the house still be as tidy as it was before Eula went to work?

As a scout knight of the Knights Templar, Amber was quick to realize a problem:

The Eulas are missing, so what about the big bag of things they bought while shopping?

Following this clue, Amber led the temporary investigation team to conduct a search near Eula's home while questioning residents.

Finally, they found the items they bought when they went shopping together yesterday in a trash can not far from Eula's house.

"…This is what happened. After a whole morning of searching and investigating, these are the only clues we have obtained so far."

Amber pointed at the items they had found on Eula's desk and spoke to the white-haired boy wearing a crown and the two people following behind him.

Her tone was not as cheerful as usual, but rather a little low and worried:

"There were no signs of fighting or struggling around here, and according to the confessions, the residents around here also said that they did not see Eula return to this street yesterday afternoon, nor did they see any other unfamiliar suspicious people passing by in the area.

"But this doesn't explain why Eula's stuff is in a nearby trash can..."

Samuel was also confused after hearing this.

The house where Eula lives is not remote, it is right next to the street. I don’t know how many people pass by Eula’s house every day, but it is definitely not just a few.

Although Eula is still considered an "outsider" or even a "dangerous person" in the eyes of the people of Mondstadt, Samuel knows that most of the Knights Templar understand her and are not prejudiced against her, and some even admire her martial arts skills.

Furthermore, according to Amber, when Eula is not on duty, she often helps the residents around her with small tasks, and everyone is familiar with her.

When Amber and the others found the large bag of items that Eula bought in the trash can, there were also other miscellaneous items on top, indicating that other people had thrown away the garbage later.

It's impossible that no one saw how the bag of items ended up in the trash can.

But why do the surrounding residents all say they “didn’t see anything”?

“…Is someone lying?” Samuel muttered as he pondered.

Amber sighed softly:

"…But everyone has a good relationship with Eula, why would you lie?"

Samuel was silent.

Albedo behind him rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful.

"It seems that this matter is not simple..." Captain Qin said cautiously.

As everyone was thinking about it, Albedo suddenly walked to the table in the living room and observed the items that Eula had purchased while shopping and were taken out of the trash can.

Seeing this, Qin and Amber followed, and Samuel also came over curiously.

What caught his eye was not the large amount of clothes, jewelry and other items that he imagined girls would buy, but whetstones, books, towels, medicines and other seemingly unrelated things.

There were even some slightly spoiled ingredients, such as slightly rotten meat, broken eggs, crumpled butter and two bags of flour.

There were only a few light-looking, portable clothes and jewelry in there, stained with the food.

For some reason, Samuel always felt a little repulsed by what was in front of him.

But after observing for a while, he didn't find anything unusual, so he had to attribute it to the fact that he was a little bit of a germaphobe.

"…Eula doesn't care much about her appearance. Except for the book about Sumeru dance, everything she bought is very practical." Amber explained, "I picked those skirts and jewelry for her based on her dressing habits."

“Those were the ingredients I had when I said I wanted to try the moon pie she made. I had planned to go shopping with her again yesterday and make it when we got back in the evening.

"But Eula disappeared last night..."

Albedo listened to her explanation and observed these things.

After a moment, he shook his head slightly, and said in a calm tone with some regret:

"The elemental vision didn't show anything wrong."

"Yes, I used elemental vision to observe it carefully at that time, and there was nothing wrong." Amber agreed, but felt a little depressed.

She thought that as the chief alchemist of the Knights Templar, Albedo might have other discoveries.

Didn't expect the same result...

Qin also turned on the elemental vision and observed it, but finally shook her head and didn't see anything.

Seeing this, Amber lowered her expectant eyes again.

Neither Albedo nor Captain Jean could figure out anything, but this is the only clue right now...

Samuel, who was standing next to her, looked at Amber's expression and also wanted to give it a try.

Just as he was about to open his vertical pupils to observe the object that Captain Jean and Albedo said they had not found, he saw a gust of wind blowing in from the window, brushing against the object and brushing against Samuel's ears.

It was like blowing away some fog, making the obstructions disappear.

Then, the objects gradually began to look weird and ominous.

Not only Samuel, but also Jean Albedo and Amber were stunned.

In the moment of silence, Qin was the first to recover.

She frowned and stared at the aura on the object with a serious expression: "This aura is..."

"The Abyss Cult...?" Amber also reacted and asked with a confused look on her face.

Abedo stroked his chin, re-examined it for a while, and then said: "Somewhat similar, but not exactly the same."

"This breath seems to be stronger and contains the breath of life. It is closer to the magic dragon Durin who died in the snowy mountains." He added.

As the chief alchemist of the Knights Templar, Albedo spontaneously studied and understood the differences between various evil powers.

The power of the abyss is deeper and quieter, subtly different from the powerful vitality in front of us.

And this subtlety, in the eyes of alchemists, especially Albedo who has specially studied Durin's power and the power of the abyss, is two completely different things.

But if you only look at the weird and ominous, it is indeed possible to confuse the two forces.

Amber and Jean looked at each other, and the latter nodded, indicating that she could trust Albedo's judgment.

Then, together with Albedo, they turned their gazes to the Pope, who was present and of a higher status and level.

“…Your Majesty?” Seeing him lowering his head, Qin asked with concern.

Samuel was still in a daze, his mind still echoing with the familiar and kind boy's voice that he heard when the wind just brushed past his ears.

At first he was delighted to hear His voice again with his own ears, but at the same time he felt lost and perplexed about the message conveyed in the voice.

The voice was not as brisk and lively as the memory of His normal speaking, nor was it as loving and compassionate as when He was divine.

Instead, he urged him urgently and seriously:

"Don't look."
