Genshin Impact, it's you who rejected me, why are you all in such a hurry if I just give up?

However, Rosalind never expected the Knights of Favonius to be so useless, and Barbatos actually watched helplessly as his subjects were slaughtered by an outsider, making Rosalind sigh that the God of Liberty was truly free.

Now think about it carefully.

Whether it's Lin Jiu'an's appearance, his strength, or Barbatos's reaction, everything is quite strange!

Rosalyn's mind flashed through all the joy she had previously gathered about Lin Jiu'an.

Like Luminous, he is an outsider who appeared out of nowhere. He works at the "Cat Tail Tavern" and once wanted to go to Liyue. Jean, Lisa, and others showed unusual enthusiasm for him when they first met...

Finally, Rosalyn thought of the news she had sent someone to inform them yesterday that "the Doctor" was coming, and her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

Are you trying to force me to take the initiative to find you?

"Heh, you actually dare to provoke the executive officer. I'd like to see what gives you such confidence."

······

"Miss Rosalia, please watch your behavior!"

"As a nun, you completely skip choir activities!"

"Calm down, Sister Ophira, Miss Rosalia. I heard you haven't attended a single compulsory course?"

The dim sunset shone through the church's huge French windows into the main hall, where dozens of nuns were gathered to rehearse for the choir's activities the next day.

Meanwhile, several older nuns were 'besieging' a younger nun.

"Regardless, as a member of the church, you must rehearse with everyone this time, and you must attend the morning choir tomorrow!"

Because of the massacre that Lin Jiu'an had committed before.

Although Lin Jiu'an stripped the church of all its powers, its basic daily functions were still retained.

Because of the unrest and the deaths, more and more people are coming to church to pray during this period.

The problem is that Lin Jiu'an's recent massacre also killed a lot of priests and nuns, which has led to a shortage of nuns, making it difficult to even form a choir. That's why Rosalia, who has never attended a choir event before, was specially asked to participate.

“Miss Rosalia, please make sure you attend the event on time,” Barbara added.

Rosalia wore an impatient expression. The thought of being bathed in the sun with a bunch of nuns in public, singing meaningless hymns with a holy expression, made her incredibly embarrassed.

Just as the nuns were at an impasse, the church doors were pushed open.

"Sorry, it's currently..."

A nun was about to turn away this prayer visitor who had arrived at an inopportune time, but she fell silent when she saw his appearance.

The nuns sensed something was wrong and looked towards the door. When they saw who it was, they immediately became very nervous.

Fear, submission, and hatred that is being tried to conceal.

Barbara stared blankly at Lin Jiu'an.

When the other person walked up to her, a look of expectation and complexity appeared in the girl's beautiful eyes. She slightly parted her cherry lips, but before she could say anything, the other person did not even look at her and continued walking forward.

Where is the Sky Harp?

Sister Victoria, forcing a smile, said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, the Sky Harp is a treasure of Mondstadt and requires manual..."

"formalities?"

"You mean you want me to kill you and replace you with someone more obedient?"

······

Feeling the wind element slowly flowing into his body, Lin Jiu'an casually picked it up under the nun's pitiful gaze.

Better than nothing.

Ying and the seven statues of the gods in different places obtained different elements.

He needs to stay in the seven kingdoms rich in elements for a period of time, allowing the elemental power to continuously enter his body and accumulate to a certain level, thereby gaining the power to control the elements. If he can obtain items that retain the aura of gods or even "get close" to the gods themselves, this process will be accelerated even faster.

Although the Sky Harp's effect is negligible compared to the Heart of God, it would be good to increase the "Doctor's" strength as the project approaches.

Under the nun's fearful gaze, Lin Jiu'an walked outside with the Sky Harp. When he reached Barbara, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.

Barbara's previously dull eyes instantly brightened again.

I knew it...!

"Come with me, I need to talk to you."

Barbara was about to answer him.

Suddenly, I heard a flat "hmm".

Barbara was completely dumbfounded as she watched Lin Jiu'an turn and leave, followed by Rosalia.

······

"I plan to start a new organization."

Rosalia listened quietly.

Lin Jiu'an spoke simply but clearly.

He planned to establish a powerful military surveillance agency that would be directly under his command and would be responsible for reconnaissance, arrests, interrogations, and guard duties. This agency would have the power to arrest anyone and conduct closed-door interrogations.

They even planned to use her to develop the West Wind Church into a branch of the organization, and strive to train more nuns to join the organization.

The reward was also very generous, and it would completely free her from the nuns' harassment.

Only after returning to the Knights of Favonius did Lin Jiu'an ask, "How did you feel?"

"it is good."

"Your office is on the second floor at the very back. I've put the detailed plan on your desk. Take a look at it. If you have any questions or objections, come to my office anytime to discuss them."

After parting ways with Rosalia, Lin Jiu'an returned to his office.

Open the office door.

Lin Jiu'an then saw the seat that belonged to him.

A stunningly sexy older woman with white hair and purple eyes was leaning on her hand, legs crossed, looking at him with a half-smile.

The eighth seat among the eleven executive officers of the Fools.

Code name: "Lady".

Rosalyn Cruzshika Loefat.

······

PS1: I checked, and "Doctor" is indeed the second seat, not the third. I misremembered. The old man's memory is stuck at "Lady's" funeral. Sorry.

PS2: Thanks for the reminder. The protagonist's emotional close combat did feel a bit abrupt. It was corrected in the previous chapter early this morning.

Chapter Thirty-Six Negotiation and Wine

"Madam, what brings you to my humble abode?"

"Didn't you want to see me?"

"Now that I'm here, why are you afraid to come in?"

Rosalyn's lips curled into a contemptuous smile.

"Scared?"

"you misunderstood."

Lin Jiu'an calmly closed the door.

I took a bottle of wine from the freezer, then took two glasses, added two ice cubes to each, and poured two glasses of wine.

"I was just a little surprised to open the door and see such a beautiful lady."

As he spoke, he pushed the already poured wine glass, letting it slide to Rosalind's front.

"Want a drink?"

Rosalyn's smile grew increasingly contemptuous. She had originally intended to say, "You think you're worthy to drink with me?"

Then Lin Jiu'an said, "Wine with ice should help cool down your flames, Miss Rosalyn."

Rosalyn's smile faded, and she squinted at Lin Jiu'an.

Although she is known as a "lady" and is the eighth executive officer of the Fools, her status is well-known among the upper echelons of the Seven Kingdoms.

But neither the name Rosalyn nor the flames she has never used since the Queen bestowed "ice" upon her are things that few even within the Fatui are aware of.

Who exactly is this person?

Rosalyn was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, stood up, picked up her wine glass, and walked to Lin Jiu'an.

Then, in front of him, he raised the glass above his head and poured it out, the purplish-red, icy wine spilling down Lin Jiu'an's hair.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that?"

Rosalyn's idea was simple: the other party's status wasn't enough for her to have an equal dialogue; only the person behind him would work, if he had one.

If the other party has divine backing.

Then Barbatos will come out and fight, and we'll know where the Heart of God is.

If the other party doesn't have divine backing.

If she angered him and they fought, she would learn his secrets and everything she wanted to know.

Looking at Rosalyn, whose expression was undisguised contempt, Lin Jiu'an didn't even wipe it off, his face still bearing a faint smile.

“I don’t know much about myself, but I do know what Miss Rosalyn wants.”

Rosalind's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly before returning to normal, and she said with amusement, "Oh, I'd like to know what's wrong with me?"

"It's simple, it's just what you couldn't find at Wendy's."

Rosalyn could no longer hold back, a look of astonishment flashing in her eyes before she stared intently at Lin Jiu'an.

The feeling of being watched by a ferocious beast was very unsettling, but Lin Jiu'an didn't care at all.

Instead, he raised his glass and handed it to Rosalyn, inviting her, "Have a drink."

What if I don't drink it?

"You are very strong, I can't beat you, I have to admit that."

Lin Jiu'an smiled and said, "But even if I can't escape, it's just death to me."

"But for you, Miss Rosalyn, or 'Lady,' you may never obtain the Heart of the Wind God."

Rosalyn stared intently at Lin Jiu'an, trying to detect even the slightest hint of wavering in his expression.

If he showed even the slightest sign of tension, Rosalind would grab him and make him experience all sorts of tortures in order to extract the whereabouts of Wendy's Heart of God from him.

But she failed.

The other person's expression remained calm, just like when she had tried to provoke him by pouring wine all over him. Rosalyn could sense that this person was truly fearless and a madman just like them.

That's true, if he weren't crazy, how could he have done those things?

Rosalyn suddenly regretted her impulsive actions.

The other party suddenly revealing her name and background made her unable to suppress her boiling flames. However, in the end, it was still because she transferred her contempt for Mondstadt, or rather, for these ephemeral humans, onto him.

"You're good."

Rosalyn looked at him with a half-smile, took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, acknowledging that this man named Lin Jiu'an did indeed have something worthy of her attention.

The chilled wine went down my throat and into my body.

The taste seems pretty good?

Before the fragrant wine had even fully entered her throat, a hand suddenly grabbed her slender, graceful swan neck.

Rosalyn was stunned, never expecting Lin Jiu'an to suddenly attack. By the time she reacted, Lin Jiu'an had already grabbed her neck and pinned her against the wall, her head touching the cold surface.

"do you know?"

"From the moment I killed the first person in my life, everyone who dared to offend me is already dead."

Looking at Lin Jiu'an with a slightly twisted smile, Rosalyn was momentarily speechless with anger.

Are all young people this brave these days?

then.
