"Madam, I have contacted the people of the Underworld."

Chapter 15 Five hundred years later, the lady and the Underworld [Fifth update]
In the dim underground space, a bonfire was burning, and the dancing flames cast the shadows of everyone present on the wall.
The atmosphere was heavy.
Sitting around a long table, they were dressed in various costumes, representing different identities.
Some were adventurers, some were merchants, and some were even members of the Knights of Favonius.
There were six in total.
Each of them wore a mask to cover their appearance.
On their left chest, there was a badge engraved with flames.
This was the symbol of the Underworld members.
After a while, a person in the upper left corner said, "How about it, have you decided?"
He crossed his hands and looked around.
Seeing that everyone remained silent, he continued, "Mond is no longer suitable for the development of the Earth Fire. After five hundred years, don't you understand this truth? How many ancestors of the Earth Fire died tragically at the hands of those damn nobles? If it continues like this, even if it resists for another five hundred years, the Earth Fire will still not have a chance to make a breakthrough in Mond."
"So, why not go to Xumi with me, where the great Earth Fire leader Lord Barnte controls everything. When the Earth Fire grows stronger again, we will come back and kill all those bastards and completely control Mond City."
This is a scholar from Xumi.
He is also a member of the Earth Fire in Xumi.
"Mr. Lusha, we already understand what you mean, but Mond is our home and we can't leave here." The man sitting in the upper right corner said.
The people present are all leaders of the Earth Fire Organization.
They also know that the Earth Fire has developed a branch in Xumi, and it has now grown to a considerable scale.
But even so, Mond is still the "orthodox".
Mondstadt is the origin of the underground fire and their "hometown".
The scholar sneered: "Home? Have you ever seen someone being brutally killed in their own home? You regard this place as home, but the Knights and those nobles do not regard you as family. Do you believe that once this place is exposed, it won't take long for the Knights to come and sweep you?"
"Everyone understands these principles, but Mr. Lusha, don't forget that Mondstadt is the source of the underground fire. Lord Rustan developed the underground fire here. If we leave, it is equivalent to betraying Lord Rustan's original intention to protect Mondstadt."
The person in the upper right corner continued.
"I think it's better to do this. You go back and report to Lord Barnte and ask him to send people to support us. After all, Mond's Earth Fire is the orthodox one."
"That's impossible!" The scholar refused without thinking, "The dragon disaster in Mond is so serious. The Knights are strictly guarding all places now. Our people can't get in at all."
"We will help."
"What's the point? Going against the Knights in Mond has already lost five hundred years ago. What's the difference between going now and committing suicide?"
"Then there's no room for discussion."
The person in the upper right corner said lightly, "No matter what, the Earth Fire will not give up Mond, and Lord Roland will not either."
Roland!
Hearing this name, the scholar's eyes showed a strong fear.
The reason why Xumi's Earth Fire has not yet swallowed up Mond's Earth Fire is because of this person's existence.
It is rumored that Roland is the disciple of the first Earth Fire leader 'Rustan'. After Rustan's death, he has been leading the Earth Fire to develop silently. He once went deep into the underground space to find the power to change the situation.
No one knew what Roland had found, but Roland left the Earth Fire and began a journey that no one knew about.
However, despite this, when Mond's Earth Fire was in dire straits, Roland appeared several times and turned the tide.
For this old monster who had lived for five hundred years, all members of Xumi's Earth Fire were afraid.
"Yes, Lord Roland would definitely not agree to do this."
Another person said.
The scholar snorted and said in a cowardly manner: "Who knows if he is still alive."
Silence spread again, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing. Finally, the scholar was exhausted.
His mission here was to persuade Mond's Earth Fire to merge into Xumi and expand its power, but it seemed that this road was not feasible at all.
These pedantic and stubborn guys, let them hold on to their obsession with the first leader and die tragically under the blades of the nobles and the Knights!
"Since you insist on doing this, there is no way. I will tell Lord Barnt about the situation here. As for what he does, it is none of my business."
The scholar stood up and wanted to leave here.
Of course, he would not go back, but planned to secretly sell the news to the Knights. As long as the person in charge here died, things would be easy afterwards.
But as soon as he turned around, an inexplicable force imprisoned him under his feet.
Kakakakaka~
The frost that froze the earth brought a biting cold. The scholar lowered his head and looked at his frozen legs with fear in his eyes.
Da, da, da, da...
The crisp sound of footsteps sounded.
At the same time, everyone at the long table stood up and bowed respectfully to the figure who walked into the entrance.
"Lady Rosalin!" They shouted in unison.
Rosalin!
The scholar was stunned.
Isn't that the one who created the Xumi Earth Fire and followed Lord Rustan to fight? !
How is she still alive? ! ! !
Gulu~
Looking at the figure approaching him, the scholar swallowed his saliva and couldn't help shaking.
"Ro... Rosa..."
"Let the Earth Fire abandon Mondstadt and merge into Xumi? Ha~ You are really brave to say that."
A cold voice sounded.
"Sorry, it's all Lord Barnt's idea, I..."
Puff! ——
The sharp ice blade cut across the neck, and the voice stopped abruptly.
The splattered blood was frozen by the frost again, turning into crystal blood flowers scattered in the air.
The lady walked past his body expressionlessly.
Seeing this, the others dared not breathe.
They feared Rosaline, not only because of the latter's identity, but also because of her powerful strength.
Of course, the strength of the enemy is frightening, and the strength of the companions is reassuring.
At least from the current situation, Rosaline's return will make the development of the Earth Fire in Mondstadt smoother.
"Your will is more determined than I expected."
The lady looked at the others and said.
In fact, she had come a long time ago.
But she didn't show up.
I just want to see if these people can stick to their original intentions under temptation.
If they try to join forces with the scholar and escape from Mondstadt, then the lady doesn't mind killing them all.
The Earth Fire is not a person, but a will. As long as he recognizes and believes in Rustan's will, he can become a member of the Earth Fire.
So the lady is confident that even if she is the only one left in the Earth Fire, it can be redeveloped.
Of course, the lady is naturally more relieved now that there is a ready-made one.
"Five hundred years."
Her cold lips opened slightly.
"Mondstadt is still as rotten as it is. The descendants of those who were saved by Rustan at the beginning inherited the same bad habits. They only dared to attack their compatriots, but they were timid in the face of disasters."
The lady did not hide the sarcasm in her tone. Yes, she had seen through the nature of these Mondstadt people.
If she hadn't kept Rustan's last words in mind, she, who turned into the Witch of Fire, would probably have burned down this rotten old city with flames.
"Lord Rosalin, please lead the Underfire!"
A leader of the Underfire said excitedly.
"We have had enough of the oppression of the Knights. Those nobles are always thinking about destroying us. We protect Mondstadt, but they want to kill us. This is unfair!"
"Yes, this is unfair!"
"Why, why can they live in the sun and enjoy everything with peace of mind? If it weren't for us, without Lord Rustan, Mondstadt might have perished five hundred years ago!"
"I don't want to protect these greedy and selfish guys anymore!"
Anger filled everyone's heart.
The lady looked at them quietly until the voice gradually subsided. She said in a cold tone: "We never need to protect selfish and greedy people. Rustan once said when he created the Underfire that the meaning of the existence of the Underfire is to protect, change, create... and destroy."
"If it is not worth protecting, then destroy it. From today on, all members of the Underfire will gather their forces and wait for my order!"
Everyone was surprised.
"Lady Rosalin, you want to..."
The lady's eyes turned cold: "It's been five hundred years, it's time for the people of this city to pay a 'price'!"
