This destructive aura was too strong, even far exceeding the scope of normal elemental reactions.
If Klee really triggered some unknown power while using these bombs, or even unknowingly became part of some "experiment"... then Klee's current safety status must be re-evaluated!
Klee cannot be in danger.
Thinking of this, Albedo's expression instantly sank.
"Jean."
Albedo finally spoke, his voice low and solemn: "I need to see Klee immediately."
Acting Grand Master Jean's expression hardened, and she nodded: "Let's go!"
The two no longer hesitated, quickly turned, and hurried towards the confinement room!
As Albedo spoke, Acting Grand Master Jean also thought of Klee.
She needed to properly question Klee.
"I even suspect whether the Abyss Order's actions last night were to find Klee's bomb."
Albedo, walking, frowned at Acting Grand Master Jean beside him; "According to what you said, Klee threw a bomb at Cider Lake yesterday, and the bomb caused quite a stir."
"As far as I know, Klee sometimes likes to hide bombs, usually in places like Windrise."
"So Klee didn't know the power of this bomb until she found it."
"Yesterday, Klee brought the bomb back, caused a commotion at Cider Lake, and went into the confinement room, but her backpack and bomb were left behind."
"At night, the Fatui elites had an incident, and they even used the power of Delusions at the same time, but they couldn't stop it."
"And the exact same aura you mentioned was left at the scene."
"This."
Hearing Albedo's words, Acting Grand Master Jean's eyelids twitched wildly.
All of this seemed to connect.
Could it be that the Abyss Order's actions were because of Klee's backpack bomb?
For this, they even went so far as to fight the Fatui in Mondstadt?
And eliminated the elites of Mondstadt?
"No."
The next second, Albedo shook his head again: "In such a short time at night, those who can move stealthily in and out of Mondstadt, besides Vision Holders, are the Abyss Mages of the Abyss Order, why would they go after the Fatui?"
"It doesn't make sense for them to attack the Fatui."
"Is it possible that the Abyss Order infiltrated Mondstadt, and when they were looking for the backpack, they encountered the Fatui?"
Acting Grand Master Jean hesitated for a moment, pondering: "The Fatui then followed, the Abyss Order eliminated the Fatui, but this special aura was also left at the scene?"
"That seems plausible."
Albedo's eyelids twitched wildly: "So, does that mean Klee was targeted by the Abyss Order last night?"
"No."
Acting Grand Master Jean shook her head: "The Knights of Favonius Headquarters has a barrier, even the Abyss Order cannot infiltrate silently. Last night when I was resting, I also went to check on Klee, and that child Klee was sleeping soundly."
"This morning, she asked for some materials, saying she wanted to do some small research, and I didn't give her gunpowder or anything similar."
"In any case, let's go see Klee first and ask her about the situation."
Albedo said softly: "I'm just worried that the Abyss Order's conspiracy involves Klee."
Hearing this, Acting Grand Master Jean's expression hardened.
Indeed.
Klee cannot be in danger.
Thinking of this, the two quickened their pace, heading straight for the confinement room in the Knights of Favonius Headquarters.
And at this very moment.
The sun was setting, and golden-red afterglow scattered upon the high walls of Mondstadt, illuminating the travelers slowly returning.
The streets of Mondstadt were still bustling, with people coming and going endlessly.
With the Knights of Favonius guiding, the people of Mondstadt gradually felt at ease.
However, the rolling black smoke rising into the sky was a bit of an eyesore.
Like smoke signals, it stood out particularly against the backdrop of the sunset.
Looking from afar, a corner of Mondstadt was enveloped in black smoke.
Even standing outside the city gate, one could clearly see the constantly churning smoke, and a faint smell of burning could even be detected in the air.
"Hmph...!!"
Fischl, walking back on the stone bridge, suddenly stopped, her purple pupils widening abruptly as she gazed at the rolling black smoke, dramatically spreading her arms, her cape gently fluttering in the wind.
"Has the shadow of the Demon King already eroded the skies of Mondstadt?"
"Has this catastrophe already descended—?"
Oz, beside her, sighed, and translated in his usual tone: "My Prinzessin means that she is very surprised that there would be such a violent explosion in the city."
Lin Mo, who was returning, also had his gaze flicker slightly at this scene.
He stopped, squinting his eyes towards the direction of the black smoke.
Explosion?
Who in Mondstadt accidentally ignited Pyro power again?
Lin Mo didn't think much of it, only slightly adjusted the bags on his shoulders, and continued walking into Mondstadt.
And the moment they stepped through the city gate, the stationed Knights of Favonius immediately noticed their figures.
"Lin Mo!"
A Knight of Favonius joyfully waved at Lin Mo, a clear sense of familiarity on his face.
His gaze fell on the two full sacks in Lin Mo's hands, and he was immediately surprised: "Looks like you had a good harvest today, actually carrying back two large bags?"
Lin Mo smiled faintly, and casually said: "Not bad."
At this moment, Fischl gently raised her chin, looking triumphant: "Hmph, that is natural! How could This Prinzessin, personally leading an expedition into Whispering Woods, return without achievement?"
Oz translated: "My Prinzessin means that we indeed had a significant harvest today."
Lin Mo chuckled, then his gaze once again turned towards Mondstadt, and he directly asked: "What happened in the city?"
The Knight of Favonius was slightly startled, then reacted, and immediately replied seriously: "Oh, you mean the explosion?"
"There was a violent explosion at Albedo's Alchemy Workshop. Acting Grand Master Jean has already rushed over, and the Knights of Favonius are also handling it."
"Fortunately, the surrounding streets were not affected, only the Alchemy Workshop building was severely damaged."
"It's not a big deal."
Lin Mo listened to these words, and his expression suddenly became a little strange.
Albedo's Alchemy Workshop exploded?
As Mondstadt's top Alchemist, even if Albedo encountered problems with his experiments, he would keep them within a controllable range.
He shouldn't have caused such a widespread explosion within the city.
Wait.
Suddenly, Lin Mo thought of Klee, and his expression grew even stranger.
Thinking of the Path branch skill, I Want to Help Too, that he had attached to Klee's backpack bomb yesterday, Lin Mo's mouth twitched slightly, and his expression became somewhat subtle.
He looked at the black smoke in the distance, and a bad guess suddenly formed in his mind.
Could it be that Albedo accidentally blew himself up while researching those bombs?
That shouldn't be the case.
The bombs were on Klee, and Klee was grounded; her backpack was usually taken into the confinement room.
"Cough."
Lin Mo lightly coughed, no longer thinking about it.
Anyway, it had nothing to do with him.
Meanwhile, Fischl beside him was still looking at the black smoke in the city with an excited expression.
She looked as if to say, "This is definitely a premonition of some conspiracy descending upon Mondstadt," her eyes full of eagerness to explore the unknown.
She patted Lin Mo's shoulder, her eyes sparkling: "Let's go! Since it is an anomaly in the city, This Prinzessin naturally needs to witness it firsthand!"
Lin Mo: "..."
"Let's go to the Adventurers' Guild first to hand in the quest and settle the resources."
Lin Mo shook his head and walked towards Mondstadt.
