Under normal circumstances, he should have properly dealt with the meteorite issue by now and returned to Mond City to report to me.
But now... ... let alone Kaia, he didn't even send any of his men back.
It's abnormal. It's very abnormal.
Could it be true, as Pendragon said, that Kaia has
"Captain, are you busy now?"
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on Qin's office door from outside.
This also made Qin, who had originally thought of the worst, feel temporarily relieved.
Now everyone in the Knights knew that she was meeting distinguished guests in her office, and they would not disturb her unless it was something very important.
"Come in and talk."
Sitting back in her seat and returning to her usual serious look, Qin spoke to the people outside.
The door was pushed open, and a knight dressed as a civil servant came in.
He first bowed to Qin, then bowed to Bai Luo, then came to Qin and handed a document to her.
"This is... ... "
Originally, Qin thought that it was information sent back by Kaeya, but when she saw the logo of the Leggenfend family on it, her expression was wonderful.
How to say it
Because of something, Diluk has never had a good impression of the Knights Templar, which has also led to many people in the Knights Templar not getting along with him.
Although she and Diluk have a secret connection, it is limited to her connection with Master Diluk as an ordinary person, and has nothing to do with the position of acting leader.
But now, the other party actually sent such a document to the Knights Templar and to himself.
It's just like the sunset fruit is no longer sweet, but has become a fruit that is so sour that it can make people die.
Not only is it not science, it's not magic, it's not even mysterious, and it's not elemental.
But after reading the information in the file, Qin's expression became even more interesting.
"Where is Mr. Diluc?"
After reading it carefully several times, Qin finally put the document away and looked at the clerk who had been standing in front of her.
"Master Diluk is sitting in the church right now. Do you want him to come over?"
The clerk asked uncertainly.
In fact, when he first received the document, the expression on his face was the same as Captain Qin's.
He almost thought that it was some bored bard playing a prank and disguised himself as Master Diluk to send it over.
"Please... invite him over. It just so happens that Mr. Pendragon knows him, so there's no need to be shy about anything."
"yes!"
After bowing again, the clerk left the office a little nervously.
About a few minutes later, Mr. Leggenfind came to Qin's office led by the clerk.
"Captain, you guys chat first. I'm going to take care of other things."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
When the clerk left, he closed the office door.
As the door closed, the office suddenly became eerily quiet.
"Um, Mr. ... Leggenfende?"
Originally, Qin wanted to call Diluk "senior" as usual, but considering that there was someone else next to him, she finally chose to call him with a more formal title.
"The new office is nice, at least much better than the previous one."
After nodding to Bai Luo as a greeting, Diluk walked straight to Qin's desk and sat down with great imposing manner.
In fact, if it were someone else, whether it was Captain Jean who was a little nervous facing the richest man in Mondstadt, or Master Diluk who was very rude because he relied on his certain status in Mondstadt, there didn't seem to be anything strange about their behavior.
But to Bai Luo, who truly understands their relationship... it's very interesting.
Even more interesting than when Diluk and Kaeya were acting out their scenes.
"The new office is also very nice. If Master Leggenfind is free, he can come and visit often."
It was just a simple conversation, seemingly just a meaningless greeting.
In fact, there is another hidden meaning in their words.
In fact, this story started a long time ago.
Because of an undercover agent of the Fatui, Diluk has always been averse to the office of the Knights Templar and rarely goes near it.
In a sense, the reason why he came here in person today was because the Knights of Favonius were temporarily working in the Cathedral of Favonius.
If it were in the past, no matter how good their private relationship was, he would never appear here to talk to Qin.
"Enough of the small talk. Have you read the documents I handed over to you?"
Avoiding the topic of Qinna and the [new office], Diluk spoke directly.
"I have read it. You want to sponsor the development project of this meteorite in your personal capacity, right?"
Taking out the document again, Qin turned to the corresponding page and spoke out.
She reached out and gently touched the document, and the ink even got on her fingers.
This means that the document was also written not long ago.
"Well, you know, the last thing I lack is money."
Diluk was leaning back in his chair with his legs crossed, exuding the aura of "I am a fat sheep, come and slaughter me."
Qin didn't say anything, but stared closely into Diluk's fiery red eyes.
At this moment, she noticed Diluk's eyes.
This kind of look rarely appears, and only occurs when, for example, Bai Luo appears in Mond, when Bai Luo appears in Mond again, and when Bai Luo appears in Mond again.
In other words, for Diluk, this matter is even on the same level as Bai Luo's appearance in Mond.
After realizing this, Qin immediately made her own decision.
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”

Chapter 732 I Don’t Want to Wake Up
Diluk was moving very fast. Just over ten minutes later, a convoy loaded with various supplies set off from Mondstadt and headed for the place where the meteorite fell.
It seems that he should have been prepared before coming to find Qin.
Qin, who was walking at the front of the team, looked a little serious.
After discussing the cooperation, Qin Yi had some details to discuss with Diluk, so she avoided Bai Luo and talked to him alone. She also got a brief understanding of the current situation near the meteorite crater from him.
How should I put it... ... the reason why Kaeya is in such an awkward situation might be the same as what Pendragon said.
They must rush to provide support as soon as possible.
However, compared with Kaia's cavalry squad, their team was much slower. It was not until nearly dusk that they arrived at the site of the meteorite crash.
That's right, Kaeya and his team were lightly equipped, while Jean and his team carried a lot of supplies, so there was no comparison between the two sides.
"Captain Qin."
Kaeya had already known about the arrival of the large army from the scout knight, so he was waiting near the Whispering Forest early.
Although he had rested for a while under the care of his subordinates, the feeling of lethargy was still obvious compared to before he set out, as if he had suffered a serious illness.
"How is it going?"
Letting the people behind take their things and find a suitable place to camp, Qin asked Kaia about the situation on the scene.
"The situation is not good. The meteorite that fell from the sky is very strange. Except for the original gods, ordinary people will fall into a coma after just one look at it. We took a lot of effort to rescue the people inside."
Shaking his head slightly, Kaia explained aloud.
In order to rescue those unlucky guys who fell in the meteorite crater, several original gods under Kaeya's command could be said to have risked their lives. Fortunately, Kaeya already had some experience and rescued an original god who was about to sink in time.
Otherwise... ... the consequences will be disastrous.
"You mean, just one look will make me fall asleep?"
Before Qin could say anything, Bai Luo, who had already gotten off Diluk's carriage and quietly approached, asked.
Qin did not show any dissatisfaction with his slightly rude behavior.
No matter how you look at it, Bai Luo knows more about this meteorite that fell from the sky than anyone else present. Telling him these details might help them in their research on the meteorite.
"Well, that thing... is very strange. The original gods can still see it for a while from a distance, but ordinary people will walk towards it regardless of anything as if they are possessed, and eventually fall into a deep sleep... No, it's a coma, and it's the kind of coma that can't be awakened no matter what."
After briefly describing the situation at that time, Kaia still felt a lingering fear when he recalled the scene when he was close to the meteorite.
Even though his willpower was much stronger than that of an ordinary person, if it weren't for the ice chips, he would probably have sunk into the feeling of being hugged by his mother from behind.
"Have you ever come across a meteorite?"
Frowning slightly, Bai Luo spoke again.
Whether in terms of time, place, or even the impact caused, this meteorite has almost nothing in common with the meteorites among the extinct stars that have never returned.
"Except for the original gods, no one else would have the chance to touch the meteorite, because they would have fallen asleep before they even touched the meteorite."
The original gods can indeed encounter meteorites. Not only him, but even the several original gods who were almost hit while saving others have the chance to encounter them.
But considering the danger of this thing, he did not allow anyone to touch it.
"Can I take a look at those unconscious people?"
Bai Luo felt something was wrong and planned to go and see those affected people in person.
This time Kaia didn't say anything, but looked at Qin next to him.
It seemed that he was seeking Qin's opinion.
"Take him there. Perhaps he has some ideas."
It has to be said that Bai Luo's prediction of the fall of the star in advance did bring him considerable convenience.
For example, now, even if the think tank of the Knights of Favonius did not completely trust him, they would still seek his opinion on matters concerning meteorites.
After getting Qin's permission, Kaiya made a gesture of invitation and took Bai Luo towards the place where they accommodated those people.
The camp is still under construction in full swing, and those affected by the meteorite are currently being housed in the temporary shelter built by Kaia and his team.
Although they are just some simple awnings, there is nothing to complain about in this situation.
"Mr. Kaia."
When Kaia brought Bai Luo to the temporary shelter, Sister Edna, who came with the large group, had already checked the bodies of everyone.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Edna. How are they doing?"
After all, they were Kaiya's subordinates. After greeting them, he also asked about their situation.
"Well, apart from a few with bruises and scrapes, they are basically in very healthy condition. It's just that they can't be woken up."
Looking back at the unconscious knights, Edna said with a slightly strange expression.
If Captain Qin had not explained the situation in advance, she would have thought that these wounded soldiers were simply asleep.
"Um... That's good."
When the nun mentioned scrapes and bruises, Kaia's expression looked slightly off.
Because those so-called scratches and bruises, in addition to those caused by being attracted by the meteorite and falling into the pit, were also formed when they were thrown out of the pit during the rescue.
The nun and Kaia were discussing the knights' conditions, while Bai Luo calmly came to the knights and checked on their conditions.
“So warm...”
"Mother... ... "
"I finally... also have the Eye of God..."
