Chapter 379: Rosalyne, How Long Has It Been Since You Last Sang?
Bai Luo didn’t yet know what was happening over in Mondstadt.
However, Rosalyne didn’t keep him waiting long. Just over half an hour later—while Jianna was still practicing how to make her speech sound more intimidating—that woman returned.
Judging by the trembling subordinates behind her, her discussion with the Lawrence Clan had clearly not gone well.
Which made sense, how many would actually be willing to sit down and negotiate with people like them?
A pity Bai Luo hadn’t been there—otherwise, he definitely would’ve added fuel to the fire.
"Bai Luo?"
Seeing him, Rosalyne’s expression softened somewhat.
After all, he now stood on equal footing with her. Even if she wanted to vent her frustration, she couldn’t just lash out at him without reason.
"Calm down. It’s not worth hurting yourself over a few insects."
Bai Luo gently offered her a cup of freshly brewed black tea.
Rosalyne took it, sipping lightly, a hint of surprise appearing on her face.
"Not bad. You’ve got skill."
"There’s no special trick about it, just a lot of practice."
Back in Snezhnaya, he was often dragged into tea parties by noble ladies, and he usually took the initiative to handle the tea-making.
Over time, his technique had become quite refined.
As for why... Aside from avoiding having anything strange slipped into his tea, it was also convenient for him to add things himself.
As for what exactly... well, that’s left to the imagination.
"They say the Ausbilder manages to keep Snezhnaya’s noble ladies completely under his control with just his hands. Seeing it today, the reputation is well-deserved."
That tea-making skill, combined with that deceptively gentle smile—who knew how many innocent young women had fallen victim to him?
"That’s just exaggerated praise. In my line of work, I have to deal with all kinds of people and learn all sorts of things. But compared to their compliments, receiving your praise, Rosalyne, is a far greater honor."
With a slight bow, Bai Luo spoke like a perfect gentleman.
His flattery worked—Rosalyne, who had been in a poor mood, smiled again.
"Go on, what do you want from me? Is it because of that ’little lion’?"
Sitting down on the sofa, Rosalyne casually stretched out her long, pale legs in front of him.
But if one were to touch them, they would realize that they were cold, like ice.
"You already know?"
Bai Luo was briefly surprised, then quickly understood.
He had a good idea who the "little lion" referred to.
Since Rosalyne had been paying attention to Mondstadt recently, she would naturally know about him returning from Wolvendom alongside Jean.
"You’re probably the first person to have the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius serve as your bodyguard. What did you do this time?"
Glancing at Jianna hiding beside Bai Luo, Rosalyne immediately recognized her as the Electro Cicin Mage she had left in Mondstadt.
But she paid her little attention, dismissing her after a brief look.
"Do you know about ley lines?"
Instead of answering, Bai Luo asked a question of his own.
That made Rosalyne pause mid-sip.
"Of course I do. Why?"
As a genius who had once studied in Sumeru, there was no way she wouldn’t know about ley lines.
Could Bai Luo’s involvement with the Acting Grand Master be related to them?
"As a conceptual network that connects everything in this world, the ley lines contain something extremely special. It’s said that everything that happens—above ground or below—is recorded within them."
As mentioned before, so-called ley line energy is somewhat similar in concept to quantum mechanics in the real world.
It wasn’t that their structures were the same—just that both were often used to explain things that couldn’t be reasonably explained.
In short, no matter what happened, if you blamed the ley lines, you were probably right.
"And then?"
From Bai Luo’s description, Rosalyne could easily tell that he must have obtained something from the ley line energy.
"I saw some people from the past through the ley lines."
Standing up, Bai Luo walked over to Rosalyne.
As if he were about to perform a hand-kiss, he gently took her cold right hand.
Rosalyne didn’t stop him. Instead, she leaned her head on her other hand, watching him with interest.
Only when Bai Luo took out the iris entrusted to him by Rostam and placed it in her hand did her expression change.
"This is...?"
The moment she saw the flower—seemingly stained with dried blood—her once steady arm began to tremble.
Because she had seen this flower before.
She had once asked him who it was for.
He said it was for his beloved.
But she had never received it in her lifetime.
"This is the iris most cherished by the guardian. He originally wanted to give it to the one he loved, but never found the chance."
Letting go of her hand, Bai Luo spoke.
But before his hand could fall, it was suddenly gripped tightly by an icy hand.
In Bai Luo’s memory, this was the first time Rosalyne had shown such loss of composure.
"Where is he? Tell me—where is he?!"
Her strength was greater than Bai Luo had expected; his arm ached under her grip.
Frost was even beginning to form on it.
"Where he is... you should know better than I do."
Bai Luo shook his head slightly as he answered.
Otherwise, the Crimson Witch who burned everything would never have come into being.
"Where did you see him?! Tell me! Tell me everything, every detail! I command you!"
The ice showed signs of melting. The hand gripping Bai Luo’s arm grew hotter and hotter.
Her hair ignited. Her clothes ignited. There was nothing left on the witch but flames.
Her eyes were bloodshot, and scorching fire poured from her mouth, forming serpent-like flames that seemed ready to engulf Bai Luo.
Even as his clothes and hair were whipped about by the heat, Bai Luo didn’t look the slightest bit panicked.
Seeing this, Jianna rolled up her sleeves and picked up her lamp, ready to smash it at someone.
Since her cicins hadn’t matured yet, they had no combat capability.
But Bai Luo stopped her with a single glance.
"I only saw his past through images within the ley lines. Even if you go there now, you won’t be able to see him."
That was the part Bai Luo found most regrettable.
If that "instance" could be activated repeatedly like in a game and bring people inside, it would save a lot of trouble.
"I’ll ask the Doctor for help—he’ll definitely have a way. Now tell me!"
The word "ask" coming from Rosalyne’s mouth sounded almost unbelievable.
For a moment, Bai Luo even thought he had misheard.
But when it involved Rostam, it somehow made sense.
This time, Bai Luo didn’t respond. Instead, he gently placed his hand on her forehead.
That simple action seemed to trigger something.
With a soft hiss, the flames around the witch extinguished.
Her tied-up hair fell loose over her shoulders.
"What eases a knight’s heart is not endless flames, but the clear singing voice of a young girl."
"Rosalyne... how long has it been since you last sang?"
