Two unlucky kids, thoroughly misled by Fischl.
Lin Mo then shook his head and went to help the Knights of Favonius.
Seeing this, Fischl, Lumine, and Paimon also began to pitch in with the cleanup, helping the residents of Mondstadt and other Adventurers.
Although the chaos brought by Stormterror had not yet subsided, everyone was working together.
While Lin Mo and the others were busy...
On the other side...
At the Knights of Favonius Headquarters...
In Acting Grand Master Jean's office...
When Kaeya walked into the office, Acting Grand Master Jean looked up and smiled faintly, a hint of weariness and a touch of emotion in her eyes: "You're back."
"Yes."
Kaeya's steps were light, and a smile played on his face.
But then his expression became a little complex. "However, I didn't expect to encounter Stormterror's attack upon my return. Things are really getting more and more chaotic."
"Even more surprising is that I met a Traveler who claimed to be from another world, and that Traveler actually had the power to repel Stormterror."
"There's such a thing?"
Hearing this, Acting Grand Master Jean's eyebrows twitched slightly, and her expression instantly turned serious. "A Traveler from another world?"
She repeated it, a flicker of emotion in her eyes. "Someone actually possesses such power?"
Kaeya nodded: "That's right, Amber said so. Amber encountered her. The young girl looks young, has an extraordinary demeanor, and her clothes don't resemble anything from Mondstadt or Liyue."
"Most importantly, she doesn't have a Vision, yet she can utilize Anemo power."
"I didn't expect her to have such powerful Anemo abilities, even repelling Stormterror."
"Another person without a Vision who can wield Anemo."
Hearing this, Acting Grand Master Jean's expression gradually grew solemn.
The previous investigation had uncovered Lin Mo.
Now, another Traveler had appeared.
Kaeya continued, "By the way, you sent me a message earlier, saying you found some information and wanted me to return. Did you find anything? Any leads on that destructive aura?"
He had returned because he received Acting Grand Master Jean's message yesterday and rushed back after finishing his investigation today.
He didn't expect to see so many things upon his return.
Hearing Kaeya's words, Acting Grand Master Jean nodded gently: "We have a clear lead."
"Albedo and I analyzed the situation together, and everything points to the Adventurer Lin Mo."
"Here is his information, as well as the clues and context from the past few days. Everything connects."
Saying this, Acting Grand Master Jean handed a stack of organized papers to Kaeya.
Kaeya continuously flipped through them.
His expression also gradually changed.
From the initial explosion at Cider Lake, to Eula's message, then to the explosion at Albedo's Alchemy Workshop... the destructive aura contained in the Whopperflower corpse Klee brought back.
And then questioning Klee, and so on.
Everything had been compiled by Acting Grand Master Jean into a complete record book, allowing him to grasp it at a glance, instantly understanding.
"Incredible."
Kaeya remained silent for a long time after finishing reading.
After quite a while, he finally said in a low voice: "I've met him before. I even thought about him joining the Knights of Favonius so we could spar with swords, but I never expected this."
"Albedo and I are both very puzzled. Lin Mo hasn't shown a Vision, nor does he have a special background or identity, yet in a short period, he has successively acquired a large amount of resources."
Acting Grand Master Jean said: "Now you say there's another Traveler from another world, without a Vision, yet capable of controlling Anemo power to repel Stormterror. I'm even wondering if there's a connection between these two."
PS: Sorry, I got stuck writing, and also updating other books messed up my schedule a bit, causing the update to be late. Don't worry, there won't be fewer updates, there's another one coming soon. Apologies, apologies, it's late...
Chapter 58: Facing Bronya's request, you choose... Hearing Acting Grand Master Jean's words, Kaeya's expression suddenly became a little strange.
Lin Mo and the newly arrived Traveler Lumine have a connection?
"That should be impossible."
After a moment of hesitation, Kaeya shook his head: "But that Traveler repelled Stormterror, so you definitely need to meet her."
"Mm."
Hearing this, Acting Grand Master Jean nodded: "Whether it's the power she displayed or her identity, she is a help to Mondstadt and has helped Mondstadt, so it is indeed necessary to meet her."
"And while Lin Mo appears to be an ordinary Adventurer, his behavior and the abilities he has shown are truly not simple."
"Currently, Albedo and I can determine that he is unrelated to the Fatui, but we are unsure about the Abyss Order."
"This point requires a specific meeting to discuss."
"Perhaps, it's a ready-made opportunity."
"Perhaps, we can invite both of them together."
"That works too."
While Acting Grand Master Jean and Kaeya were conversing...
Time was also quietly passing.
Unconsciously...
A morning quietly slipped by.
As the morning's commotion gradually subsided, the order of Mondstadt's streets slowly returned to normal.
The busy figures of Mondstadt's residents moved through the streets and alleys, clearing the destruction caused by Stormterror, gradually repairing their homes and streets.
The fresh air was mixed with the faint scent of wood and earth.
It was as if everything was slowly returning to its original state.
Lin Mo, Fischl, Lumine, and Paimon also helped a lot with the cleanup.
Everyone worked side by side, tidying up ruins, moving items, and organizing the clutter of the streets.
Although the shadow brought by Stormterror could still be felt, everyone's faces were filled with determination and hope.
The atmosphere in Mondstadt gradually returned to calm.
Although the threat of Stormterror had not been completely resolved yet...
But seeing everyone working together, everyone's mood couldn't help but lighten considerably.
Finally, after a busy effort, everyone gradually breathed a sigh of relief, temporarily freed from the chaos.
The cleanup work temporarily came to an end. Everyone felt exhausted but also satisfied.
Paimon stretched, a big smile on her face: "That's great!"
"Mondstadt's streets are finally back to normal. I'm so tired!"
"Let's go get something to eat first."
Lin Mo smiled and turned to walk towards the Good Hunter Restaurant: "Everyone worked hard. Let's eat first. My treat."
"Yay!"
Hearing Lin Mo say this, Paimon's face immediately lit up with surprise.
Lumine and Fischl's eyes also brightened.
"It's a pity the Pyro Archon isn't here."
Fischl suddenly scanned her surroundings and sighed softly.
She hadn't seen Klee.
Lin Mo, hearing Fischl's words, was not surprised at all.
With Stormterror's sudden attack, Klee must have been instructed by Acting Grand Master Jean not to run around and to stay at the Knights of Favonius Headquarters.
Soon, led by Lin Mo...
The group walked into the Good Hunter Restaurant.
The air was filled with the delicious aroma of food.
The restaurant already had quite a few people sitting, all chatting.
After Lin Mo, Lumine, and the others sat down, the owner warmly greeted them.
