The two of them were so busy that they had to wait for the next day.

Kaiya led the three people to an office in Chengxi Winery and walked in directly.

"Wow, Kaiya really treats this place as his own home, he didn't even knock on the door," Paimon whispered to Ying's ear.

There was a person in the office, Diluk, who was wiping something like a glass ball at this time, and said to Kaeya without raising his head:

"Are the people of the Knights of Favonius so rude? Don't they even know the most basic etiquette of knocking on the door?"

Kaeya smiled nonchalantly and sat on the sofa casually:

"Master Diluk is really in a good mood. After so many things happened, he can still wipe your [toy] slowly and leisurely."

Diluk didn't say anything, just wiped the things in his hands silently.

Lin Yuan and Ying also found a place to sit down, and also looked at Kaeya and Diluk in silence, wanting to hear any interesting stories about these two people.

There were five people in the office, three of them were spectators, Diluk was a cold person, and only Kaeya came to open the conversation.

He snapped his fingers: "Master Diluc, do you know what happened at the gate of Mondstadt not long ago? The Knights have classified it as a premeditated murder case and named it: Blackfire Case."

"What if you know?"

"Do you know why we named it 'Blackfire Case'? Because the flames of the carriage burning are very strange."

"Do you know what it smells like when it burns?"

Kaeya stared at Diluc and laughed: "It smells like the smell of mist grass..."

Hearing this, Diluc frowned and clenched the black and red glass ball in his hand: "So you are suspecting me?"

Without waiting for Kaeya to speak, Paimon suddenly said: "No matter how you think about it, it can't be Master Diluc who did it. He seemed to be in the Dawn Winery when the Blackfire Case happened!"

Ying also nodded. She remembered this incident clearly. They met Diluc who came out with Qin outside the winery at that time.

Lin Yuan did not express anything. His attention was all on the black and red glass ball in Diluc's hand.

The black and red glass ball looks like the Eye of God, but he is sure that Diluk's Eye of God is definitely not that color.

Kaeya smiled faintly: "If Master Diluk wants, he can have a thousand alibis."

"Although I have a grudge against the Fatui, I will not murder diplomats in front of so many people. This matter has nothing to do with me."

"Really? The flame produces the smell of mist grass after burning. I remember that only one person in Mond can burn this kind of flame," Kaeya looked at Diluk with a smile.

"Isn't that right, Kaeya?" Paimon touched his head: "Diluk has the Eye of God of Fire, but he won't smell like mist grass after burning, right?"

"Of course the flame shot by Diluk's Eye of God won't have this smell, but the [Evil Eye] is not necessarily the case!"

Kaeya's words were shocking, and Lin Yuan remembered instantly. When Kaeya said this, he immediately knew what the black and red glass ball in Diluk's hand was.

That's right, it's the artificial God's Eye developed by the Fatui [Doctor]: [Evil Eye]!

The user has the ability to use [divine power] for a short period of time at the cost of burning himself.

"Evil Eye? What is the Evil Eye?" Ying and Paimon were stunned for a moment.

"Ying, Paimon, the Evil Eye is a prop developed by the Fatui [Doctor]. You can think of it as the evil God's Eye," Lin Yuan explained to the two.

"Developed by [Doctor]! It must not be a good thing!" Paimon immediately defined the Evil Eye as soon as he heard the word "Doctor".

"I think so too," Ying nodded, "but how could Diluk have the evil eye developed by [Doctor]?"

She recalled what happened in the meeting room before: "Master Diluk should be irreconcilable with [Doctor], right?"

Kaeya didn't expect Lin Yuan to know what the evil eye was. She was shocked for a moment, and then Ying explained:

"Of course Diluk is irreconcilable with the Fatui, but the evil eye was not obtained from [Doctor], but from his father..."

"Enough, Kaeya!" Diluk suddenly slammed the table: "There are some things that the Knights are not qualified to mention!"

Seeing Diluk's anger, Kaeya put away his cynical expression and sighed lightly: "Diluk, some things are over, and they should be let go."

"The Knights are indeed sorry for you and your father, but that was the Knights five years ago, to be exact

It was said that the three old guys did it..."

"If you only want to say these, then please go back," Diluk snorted coldly: "Even if it is the current Knights, I am not very satisfied."

"Okay, then I will not talk to you as the Knights, I will talk to you as a younger brother now, how about it?"

"You can't drive me away, right? I am also my father's adopted son, and Chengxi Winery has half of the property rights. "

Ying and Paimon were stunned. They didn't expect that Kaeya and Diluk had such a strong relationship.

Lin Yuan's reaction was flat, mainly because he had known these for a long time. If you want to shock him, it needs something more powerful.

Hearing what Kaeya said, Diluk snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"I know that my father has two most regrettable things in his life."

"One is that he failed to join the Knights, but this regret will disappear after you become a knight. "

"The second thing is that he failed to possess the Eye of God, so he later obtained an Evil Eye through special means."

"Later, the dragon Ursa attacked the winery's caravan. Seeing that you were about to be killed by the dragon, father used the Evil Eye to fight back and finally repelled the dragon Ursa."

"But the Evil Eye eventually burned my father's life. When I got the news and rushed over, it was too late..."

Kaeya's tone was no longer as cynical as before, but with a hint of heaviness. He closed his eyes and seemed to think of that rainy day five years ago:

The caravan was destroyed by the dragon, the father was burned by the Evil Eye, and the brother who was desperate and painful holding his father...

Diluk also fell into memories when he heard this, and a faint sadness lingered among everyone.

This was also the first time Lin Yuan knew this, At this moment, he finally understood why Diluk was always so cold.

Because his smile was buried on that rainy day.

As for why Diluk quit the Knights of Favonius, the three also learned the truth of the matter from Kaeya's narration:

Five years ago, the Knights of Favonius.

Eighteen-year-old Diluk had just lost his father, and there were still tears on his tender face, looking at the three old guys who were high above him.

"For this case, our decision must not be leaked to the outside world. Diluk, do you have any opinion?"

"What!" Diluk clenched his fists: "The result of repelling the dragon Ursa was exchanged for my father's life. How can his sacrifice be buried in vain?"

"Moreover, my father's death also needs to be justified by facts!"

The three old guys shook their heads: "If the public knew that the dragon Ursa was repelled by a businessman, then the prestige of the Knights would be wiped out, and our ability would also be greatly questioned! ”

“Diluc, you have to consider the overall situation. The necessary personal sacrifice is worth it!”

“Just a businessman?” Diluc lowered his head, his eyes full of anger, and he repeated this sentence over and over again.

“My father used his life to protect the peace of Mondstadt. Now you tell me that you want to encroach on my father’s honor just because you are afraid of losing face for the Knights?”

One of the old guys sneered, and the harsh voice echoed in the empty room: “Diluc, you are also a member of the Knights. Don’t say anything that is not conducive to unity.”

“As for honor?” Another old guy chuckled: “It should be left to the living. That’s meaningful.”

The third old guy looked down at Diluc: “If your father could survive, he would now be able to join the coveted Knights of Favonius. Unfortunately, he didn’t. ”

“Hehe… Hehe…” Diluk looked at the three extremely corrupt old guys and laughed crazily:

“Don’t forget that Mondstadt is made up of people like my father, and you want to deprive a father of his last glory!”

“What’s the meaning of the existence of such a Knights of Favonius!”

“Bold! Diluk! How dare you talk to us like this! Do you still want to work in the Knights of Favonius?” The three old guys shouted angrily.

“Humph! It’s better not to stay in such a Knights’ Order! "Diluc tore off the Knights' badge on his body, threw it on the ground, and turned to leave resolutely.

...

"Alas... Diluc, you..." Paimon didn't expect Diluc to have such a tragic past. She scratched her head, wanting to say something comforting, but didn't know how to say it.

Diluc shook his head and rubbed the evil eye: "I'm fine..."

After a brief sadness, Lin Yuan deduced a clue. He looked at Diluc: "So, the attack of the magic dragon Ursa on the caravan was actually planned by [Doctor], right?"

Diluc nodded: "Yes, [Doctor]'s ultimate conspiracy is to find a suitable experiment [Original

[materials], then the most perfect [raw materials] he mentioned is me..."

"So he planned this matter."

"This is also the reason why I hate the Fatui so much."

After getting a positive answer, Lin Yuan thought for a while: "Didn't the [Doctor] attack you? After all, his strength..."

"Of course he did, in my wine cellar, but..." Diluk raised a pixel at the corner of his mouth: "I am also protected by the gods."

"So it was that dishonest guy who attacked," Lin Yuan nodded. Although the power of the Fatui executive is close to that of the gods, he is not a god after all.

And Barbatos's strength is second only to Morax, not a weak god like Nashida. Since he attacked, the [Doctor's] plan to rob Diluk must be impossible to achieve.

After reasoning here, Lin Yuan also roughly sorted out the thread, so he said to everyone: "Back to the Blackfire case itself, I currently have two guesses. "

Kaeya, Diluk, Ying and Paimon looked at him.

"First, the Blackfire case was planned by the Doctor for three reasons: First, the Doctor knew that the Knights of Favonius would not compromise, so he planned the Blackfire case to frame the Knights to achieve his goal."

"Second, Kaeya, you said that the energy of Blackfire is very similar to that of the Evil Eye, and the Evil Eye was created by the Doctor."

"Finally, the Blackfire case was created to keep the Knights busy investigating, so he could implement the plan to capture the child in Mond."

Kaeya thought about it seriously: "What you said makes sense, so what about the second guess?"

"My second guess is that this incident was not planned by the Doctor, but by a third party, which could be an organization or a person."

"But in any case, this organization or person is definitely related to the Doctor."

"But according to my guess, his (their) relationship with the Doctor is mostly hostile. ”

“This incident may be done by them in order to make the Knights and the Doctor go to war, or it may be unintentional…”

“After all, the energy of the evil eye is very unstable and it is very likely to get out of control. I believe that Master Diluk should know this.”

Diluk nodded: “Lin Yuan is right. The energy of the evil eye is not stable. It is likely to get out of control.”

“It seems that this incident was not done by my brother,” Kaeya returned to his nonchalant look.

“Humph! I can only use my own way to deal with the Fatui!”

“I understand,” Kaeya smiled frivolously: “As the dark night hero of Mondstadt, it is really amazing to protect Mondstadt in your own way.”

“Huh~” Diluk exhaled lightly, closed his eyes and did not speak.

Seeing that Diluk ignored him, Kaeya looked at Lin Yuan: “I have to say that your reasoning ability is very strong and it helped me a lot. "

"It's okay. If you feel bad, just give me some raw stones or Mora," Lin Yuan said lightly.

"Oh, haha, that's not necessary. You're being so polite," Kaeya laughed awkwardly.

"Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Why is it that Kaeya only verbally thanked me for helping you so much?"

Lin Yuan was determined to keep his promise and pursued Kaeya relentlessly.

Ying and Paimon also helped: "That's right, you have to treat us to a meal anyway."

"Ahaha, well, I have to go back to investigate the Blackfire case. I'll leave you all alone for now," Kaeya, who felt under great pressure, didn't dare to stay and ran away.

Diluk chuckled, and the corners of his mouth rose by who knows how many pixels: "Everything can defeat something. "

"Now that the matter has been sorted out and you, Master Diluc, have been cleared of suspicion, we will take our leave," Lin Yuan stood up.

Diluk nodded: "Although Kaeya probably just came here to ask me to provide some clues, anyway, I am grateful to you for letting that 'annoying guy' leave early."

Paimon smiled and said: "I didn't expect Master Diluk to give others nicknames. I thought it was exclusive to me."

"Oh? Does Paimon often give nicknames to others?"

"Of course," Paimon raised his head proudly.

"Then what is the nickname Paimon gave me?"

"Well," Paimon scratched his head: "I don't think I've given you one yet, but it's not too late now. Let me think about it... Let's call you the Righteous Man!"

"The Righteous Man..." Diluk pondered for a while, then nodded: "Not bad."

Protecting Mondstadt alone in his own way deserves the word [Justice].
