Chapter 263 Another Scythe Druid
Hearing Qiuhe recount these facts, the surrounding crowd was filled with disbelief, especially Falgar, whose turbulent emotions mirrored Amber's shock.
Looking at the green liquid in the test tube in his hand, and recalling what Qiuhe had just said, Falga was completely speechless, unable to utter a single word.
I actually brought such a dangerous person into Mondstadt and even made him the captain of a knight squad.
"Falgar, is there anything else you want to explain?" Hearing Falgar's question, Falgar remained silent. Akikawa slowly moved her face closer to Falgar.
He gave a mocking smirk. "Farende, do you know that of all the lies you've told, only one is true? You're right about playing along."
Last night, it was me, disguised as you, who infiltrated that aunt's house. I used a little trick to ensure that the mother and daughter slept peacefully through the night. And all of this...
"It was all to lure you in, just as you said. This is what you call, using a scheme against a scheme." Hearing Qiuhe's sarcastic words in his ear...
Fa Liande's face twitched twice. In an instant, a sword shadow flashed past, and Fa Liande swung his greatsword from below, slashing upwards at Qiuhe's entire arm.
But the expected severed arm and splattering blood did not occur. Faliande was now in astonishment, his hand gripping the hilt of his greatsword tightening its hold.
But he couldn't swing it upwards even a fraction. And all of this was caused by Qiuhe, who was now gripping the blade of the greatsword in Faliande's hand tightly with just his thumb and forefinger.
This reaction speed and grip strength were simply unmatched by ordinary people. At that moment, Claude, who was standing to the side, also quickly raised the musket in her hand.
He pulled the trigger, aiming a shot at Faliande's head. The sound startled the surrounding crowd. Sensing the danger, Faliande leaped backward, instantly dodging the fatal blow.
But his greatsword was still tightly gripped in Qiuhe's hand. "Knights, capture Faliande," Falga's emotionless voice rang out.
The surrounding knights all surrounded Faliande, while Qiuhe, holding the blade of Faliande's greatsword, tossed it into the air, then grabbed the hilt with his other hand, examined it carefully, and laughed.
"The Greatsword of the West Wind, it's a symbol of the Knights, yet it's in the hands of someone like you. It utterly tarnishes the spirit this sword represents!"
As soon as Qiuhe finished speaking, a sharp, piercing light, like starlight slicing through the night, swept across Faliande's face and embedded itself in the steps behind him.
The moment it touched the stone steps, the blade emitted a thunderous roar, and only the tip of the hilt protruded from the stone.
The surrounding crowd was terrified by the loud noise, some crouching down and others running away, while Fa Liande stood frozen in place, motionless.
The next second, a dividing line gradually appeared on half of her face, from bottom to top of her head, and finally, like a piece of wood that had been cut off, she fell to the side.
When his face landed on the ground, not only were the surrounding knights stunned, but even Qiuhe's face was filled with surprise.
The remaining 75% of Fa Liande's face, the part that had been cut open, didn't bleed a single drop of blood; instead, it was crackling with electric sparks.
And his eye, cut in two, was also a mechanical eye. "Body damaged, therefore, impaired, therefore, impaired, unable to edit, human, language."
Farand's mouth didn't move, but an electronic voice, like that of a robot, emanated from his body. It was then that Qiuhe seemed to understand something: the Farand before him wasn't human at all, but a robot.
But before he could think further, Faliande's head suddenly twitched, and finally his head lolled to the side, a red light flashing in his other, healthy right eye.
"Enemy detected, destroyed, machine; immediately, annihilation mode activated." The intermittent electronic voice ended.
From the palms of Fa Liande, a sharp and slender sword blade unexpectedly sprouted. As he bent slightly, he charged towards Qiuhe like an arrow released from a bow.
Although Qiuhe was quite shocked by the fact that Faliande was a robot, he did not ignore Faliande's attack.
As Faliande attacked with his crossed blades, only an arm's length away from Qiuhe's head, Qiuhe swiftly manipulated his magic cube, transforming it into a sword to block Faliande's attack.
As Qiuhe channeled the energy within his body into the sword blade, a powerful and sharp gale arose around the entire blade.
With a flash of silver light and the sound of shattering blades, Qiuhe severed Faliande's twin swords in two, cutting them off from his body to the top of his head.
It also left behind a dazzling afterimage. After sparks flew from Fa Liande's body, he fell to both sides like a watermelon that had been sliced vertically, completely turning from a piece of scrap metal into two pieces of scrap metal.
Falgar then stepped forward and crouched down to examine the cleaved remains of the Fashind, which were still sizzling and sparking.
Falga also frowned slightly. "Qiuhe, what is this thing?"
"This thing is called a robot. I don't know how to explain it to you, Commander, but you can think of it as something that isn't human."
Falga was completely bewildered by these words, as he had never heard of this so-called robot before. However, Navia, upon hearing the word "robot," asked with a puzzled expression:
"A robot? Is it like the clockwork mechanism in Fontaine?" Qiuhe shook his head. "No, this is far superior to any clockwork mechanism."
Qiuhe didn't know how to explain it either. Even his own mind was a bit confused. In every way, he seemed to be a human being, possessing human language, human thought, and human emotions, and having joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
This is something a robot simply couldn't do, but the facts were undeniable, and Qiuhe didn't know how to explain the situation.
"Hey, is anyone there? Someone come quick and help!" At that moment, an urgent shout suddenly came from outside the gates of Mondstadt.
Several members of the knightly order, along with the grandmaster and Qiuhe and his companions, all focused their attention on the city gate. A short while later, a middle-aged man walked in.
When everyone present saw the person approaching the city gate, their eyes widened in shock. They weren't shocked by the old man.
Instead, behind the middle-aged man was the unconscious and severely injured Fa Liande, who was being carried on his back. Everyone present was stunned by this sight.
As time passed, Faliande gradually awoke from her daze. When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the ceiling of the Knights' Order.
"I... this is..." Falgar's groggy voice had barely escaped when he leaned over to look at Falgar lying on the bed.
"Fallen, you're awake." Upon seeing the Grand Master, Fallen turned her head to look to the side, then spotted Qiuhe, Navia, Clarin, Yura, Amber, and Jean.
Everyone stood quietly by the bedside, and when they noticed he was awake, they all breathed a sigh of relief. "Qiuhe, brother, what happened to me? And where am I?"
"This is the Knights. We don't know what happened to you. The situation is a bit complicated today, and I don't know how to explain it. Anyway, an older man carried you back."
We were going to ask you the same thing, Faliande: what happened to you on the snow mountain? Why did you collapse on Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain? And what about your injuries...?
Hearing Qiuhe's question, Faliande looked weak and confused. After a while, he gradually remembered some of the things that had happened before he fainted.
"I...I don't know what happened. When the avalanche happened, we were trapped in a cave. Navia was sadly digging through the snow, and Clarinde went to stop her."
I was behind them, intending to go up and tell them I knew where the exit was, but just as I took a step forward...
Suddenly, a hand covered my mouth from behind. I didn't know what was happening and tried to resist, but the instant that hand covered my mouth, a feeling of weakness and limpness washed over me, and my vision blurred. But when I woke up from my unconsciousness, I saw you all.
