Genshin Impact: I Can Obtain Adventure EXP

by redx43

An ordinary young man, Nolan Walker, traveled across the continent of Teyvat. He was penniless and thought it would be difficult to survive until he beat up a slime: 【Defeated a Powerful Enemy, Obtained 32 Adventure Experience】 What? Defeat Enemies to Obtain Adventure EXP, which can keep improving your level and skills! From then on, Nolan understood that even as an ordinary person

Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Negative Affection (2-in-1 Chapter)

Not far from the Mondstadt Cathedral, the colossal statue of the Anemo Archon stood prominently in the square.

As Nolan and the others paused to discuss the plan, a gentle breeze swept through. Lumine's white dress revealed her snow-white back, and the ribbons attached to it fluttered provocatively, occasionally brushing against nearby young adventurers.

Observing Lumine lost in thought, completely unaware of their presence, Nolan's lips twitched slightly as he caught the mischievous ribbons.

"Not a bad plan young adventurer. It can get us the lyre and clear our relationship while helping the Knights. But how do we disguise ourselves as the Fatui?" Venti mused, looking down at the ground and stroking his chin.

"That's right, that's right, Paimon was wondering about that too," Paimon said as his starry eyes looked at Nolan and nodded his head.

Under the diagonally cut hem of her skirt, her legs wrapped in knee-high boots were revealed, and the golden pattern on them looked like it possessed a radiant glow as Lumine lifted her head, took the ribbons from Nolan, and said:

"I have a strong dislike for the Fatui. If you can thwart their plots then, by all means, do as you please, I will cooperate fully."

[Lumine Has Developed Good Feelings Towards You, Obtained 120 Affection Points. Current Affection Level: Lv.4 (15/400)]

The first encounter Lumine had with the Fatui was when a female diplomat from their envoy had aggressively confronted Acting Grand Master Jean to embarrass her, and wanting to take over the defense of Mondstadt City and even kill Dvalin.

This left Lumine with no positive feelings towards the Fatui.

"No need to be so serious. After all, as honorary knights, helping the Knights is our duty,"

Nolan looked at the Affection prompt that popped up on the character panel and smiled before continuing to explain:

"In fact, it's very simple to do this. I defeated a fatui debt agent a long time ago and interrogated him and learned about their 'stealth assassination technique.'

"As long as I sneak in and take the Holy Lyre der Himmel while making the guards believe someone invisible is taking it, they'll naturally suspect the Fatui first.

"The theft of Mondstadt's greatest treasure will provide ample reason for the Knights to demand an explanation from them."

Stealth techniques like this aren't common. If they don't suspect the Fatui, who else would they suspect?

After all, the Knights' trouble stemmed from their failure to handle the storm, giving the Fatui an excuse to make various unreasonable demands.

Because even though they knew that the Fatui had problems, as an explicitly diplomatic mission, the Knights were obligated to take responsibility for their safety.

"That makes sense. At least until we retrieve the Holy Lyre der Himmel, the Knights will keep a close eye on them and won't be able to meddle in how Mondstadt deals with Stormterror," Paimon, sometimes quite clever, quickly understood the reasoning after a moment's thought.

"But then, we won't be able to act together with you," Lumine, her fair cheeks turned towards him, her amber eyes showing a hint of concern, as she said.

Mondstadt Cathedral, as the place where the Holy Lyre der Himmel was kept, would surely have strong and numerous guards, if they were caught while invisible, they would have to rely on Grand Master Master Jean to bail them out.

That would be too embarrassing.

"So, when I move, just provide support nearby. If things look bad, hurry up and rescue me!" Nolan was not arrogant, and Lumine's reasoning made sense.

"Uh-huh, now that the plan is clear, let's set the action time for the afternoon. Around six in the afternoon, most of the guards will be off duty, making it safer to act," Venti said with a smile, nodding.

"Alright."

Nolan of course had no objections. In the game's plot, Lumine always acted when most guards were off duty.

But because of the appearance of the Fatui, who had ideas about the Holy Lyre der Himmel, she was discovered by the guards who were left behind. In the end, not only did she fail to obtain the Holy Lyre der Himmel, but she also ended up being wanted, while the Fatui member involved walked away scot-free.

So, during the operation, they must be vigilant in case that a member from the Fatui appears. Surely, the one sent to steal the Holy Lyre der Himmel won't be weak.

If she manages to take it away, it would be a disgrace to me as a transmigrator who is supposed to have foresight.

There was still some time before the operation. Nolan accompanied Lumine and the others to take a look at the inn, but the price of 8,000 Mora per day was still a bit expensive.

She still needed to keep some savings for travel expenses on her journey to find her brother.

After searching for a while longer without finding anything satisfactory, Paimon floated in the air with her hands hanging down, looking exhausted as she sighed, "Could it be that those innkeepers deliberately raised the prices because they see us as outsiders, trying to rip us off?"

"Oh, when it comes to the prices of Mondstadt inns, this wandering bard here knows a thing or two. 8,000 is already considered cheap. After all, Mondstadt City is the most prosperous city in Mondstadt, with many traveling merchants. If it weren't for the storm, the inn prices might have been even higher," Venti explained based on his observations and experiences.

"So that's how it is." Paimon looked pitifully at the golden-haired girl with white flowers on her head. "Traveler, you must make more money. I don't want to sleep on the streets."

Lumine, with her hands pressed against her soft waist covered by white long sleeves, looked at her with a helpless expression and said, "Why should I be the only one making money? Why don't you go?"

"Hehe, that's because I'm currently working as your tour guide. Your payment is responsible for supporting me!" Paimon replied with a slight smile on her snow-white face.

"How about in a few days, I take you to the Adventurers' Guild to register as adventurers? With your strength, completing some difficult commissions shouldn't be a problem, and those commissions pay handsomely!" Nolan suggested.

"Well, it seems we have no choice. Otherwise..."

Otherwise, the little Mora in her hand would be gone in just a few days, Lumine thought silently to herself.

"By the way, didn't you say you live near the Val Berry Street? Is your house big? Can we bother you for a few days, hehe."

Paimon's gaze shifted to Nolan.

"Oh? Me? It's not impossible" Nolan pondered a moment. He rented a small independent courtyard of Eula's house. Besides the living room, kitchen, and bathroom on the first floor, there were three rooms on the second floor. He lived in one, and used one as a study, leaving one vacant.

Considering that he was also a tenant, renting out the vacant room would seem a bit opportunistic. But simply letting friends stay for free wouldn't be too much trouble.

Moreover, being close to Lumine would surely make it easier to gain affection, so this was a good thing.

"Um, never mind, I won't trouble you. I can't afford even a few days at an inn." Lumine clasped her hands together and held them against her upper abdomen, lifting her chest wrapped in the dress slightly.

She pondered for a moment, feeling that even though they were friends, she shouldn't trouble them too much. What if conflicts arose?

"Yeah, if possible, it's more convenient to rent a place by yourself," Nolan nodded indifferently. Affection was something that depended on personal emotional changes. Rushing it would only lead to dislike.

In the end, Lumine and Paimon chose the inn that initially cost 8,000 mora. After comparing, they felt it offered the best value for money.

Mondstadt Cathedral.

With Lumine and Paimon's accommodation settled, time slowly passed until it was finally six o'clock in the afternoon.

Nolan sneaked inside the cathedral alone avoiding the crowds, his sneak assassination technique had a level 4, using it once could maintain optical invisibility for ten minutes.

But this time was barely enough for him to sneak in and retrieve the Holy Lyre der Himmel. There was a high chance he would be exposed when leaving.

So, he needed to rest and recover his spirit and stamina consumed by stealth. And with his [Abundant Life] specialty, it wouldn't take too long for him to recover.

"Move forward a bit and go down through the semicircular stone door in front," Venti's voice blended with the light breeze, echoing in Nolan's ears. Although Nolan had seen the game's plot, he only vaguely remembered the specific location of the Holy Lyre der Himmel after entering the stone door.

Therefore, he still needed Venti's guidance to quickly and accurately find it, which was quite simple for the Anemo Archon.

In a state of stealth, Nolan easily evaded the nun's scrutiny and slipped into the semi-circular stone door in the middle of the cathedral, then descended the winding stone steps.

At this moment, a Knight of Favonius approached. Nolan paused, holding his breath against the wall.

Out of curiosity, he activated his Golden "Eye of Judgment" to take a look at the knight.

[Level: Seventeen]

This level of strength should be average among Mondstadt Knights.

After the sound of footsteps slowly faded away, he continued down the stairs and arrived at a spacious platform located at the highest point of the entire basement. There were steps on both sides leading further down.

"Look forward from here. The room at the far end is where the Holy Lyre der Himmel is stored," Venti's voice echoed in Nolan's ear again, reminding him that the Holy Lyre der Himmel seemed to be kept there.

With limited time in stealth, although most of the guards had finished work, there were still some on duty before the shift change. So, he had to act quickly.

"Go down the stairs on the left, then walk along the wall. There was a patrolling Knight just now, creating a short gap in time. Go quickly!"

Nolan heard Venti's instructions and didn't hesitate. At the fastest speed that wouldn't produce any footsteps, he ran down.

There were many cabinets storing documents and items in the basement. Without stealth, he might need to use them to evade the guards' eyes and ears, but it wasn't necessary now.

He walked boldly down the middle of the path, making no sound. The guards completely ignored him.

In less than two minutes, Nolan arrived at the large room dedicated to the Holy Lyre der Himmel, much faster than he had expected. As long as he quickly grabbed the holy lyre, he would have enough time to escape without needing to use stealth a second time.

"Hurry up and get the lyre!" Venti's urging voice sounded. "Others are rushing here. They're coming fast!"

Hearing Venti's words, Nolan, who hadn't stopped his feet, immediately exerted force, his ears suddenly losing all the various sounds they had been able to pick up.

The next moment,

He moved at an extremely fast speed, his body appearing in front of the Holy Lyre der Himmel as if teleporting. He grabbed it in his hand, and then the various sounds in the basement slowly reached him.

The most intense of these was the sound of air being sliced apart coming from behind.

Nolan didn't have time to dodge. He turned around, intending to block with his hand, but immediately realized he was still holding the Holy Lyre der Himmel. His hand paused for a moment, and then a purple leg kicked him in the abdomen.

The powerful impact sent him flying like a rocket, "bang" crashing into the wall, even breaking his stealth state.

Fortunately, during the flight, Nolan had stored the Holy Lyre der Himmel in the dark red Delusion hanging on his neck, and didn't bump into it, so it wasn't damaged by the impact.

"Cough, cough." He coughed lightly, spitting out some saliva.

Thanks to his strong physique, even with such a blow, he only suffered superficial injuries, which wasn't a big problem for the time being.

"Heh. A stealth skill and a special Delusion. It seems that Inspector General Heston left you quite a bit of information recently. You and that Rose Witch suddenly wiped out one of our bases in Mondstadt. It really troubled our 'Lady' a bit~ I was standing next to her at the time, feeling like my hair was going to be signed off."

A voice came, and what appeared in Nolan's sight was a woman wearing a tight purple jumpsuit, with a purple cloak hood draped over it. Her eyes were covered with an eyepatch, the corners of her mouth were raised in a smile, and a purple Delusion was pinned to her chest.

[Electro Cicin Mage Has Negative Feelings Towards You, Obtained -300 Affection Points, Current Affection Level Lv.1 (-300/100)]

Sure enough, she appeared—the Fatui Electro Cicin Mage who stole the Traveler's Holy Lyre der Himmel in the game plot.

Possibly because she was a female, Nolan his innate talent seemed to take effect on her as well.

Since Nolan didn't know her name, the character panel simply showed Electro Cicin Mage, which was the game's surrogate for this type of dressed Fatui Members of Fatui Cicin Mages group.

Unfortunately, she was an enemy, so negative feelings arose. This was the first time he had received negative Affection points.

Fortunately, she was an enemy. Otherwise, he didn't know how long it would take to return to positive numbers.

"Hand over that lyre, I don't want to delay any longer because of your resistance!"

The Electro Cicin Mage didn't want to stay here any longer. If she was discovered by the Mondstadt Knights and blocked at the exit, she wouldn't be able to escape either.

Silently, Nolan glanced at her with his golden 'Eye of Judgments', and all of a sudden the Cicin Mage's strength and weaknesses were marked out from her body.

[Level: Forty-six]

There were no other hidden injuries or various defects. The weaknesses of humans were the head and the heart. There was nothing more to say.

"Sorry, if you want the Holy Lyre der Himmel, you'll have to try and snatch it." Nolan stood up, took out the Dull Blade from the improved version of the Delusion, and smiled.

To be honest, with such a disparity in strength, Nolan could only barely delay. It would be difficult to win, but as long as he could stall, there wouldn't be a problem.

When he could use stealth again, he would just disappear.

After all, if the Electro Cicin Mage hadn't used a surprise attack just now, she might not have been able to hit him while he was stealthily and seriously hidden.

Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Chasing the Electro Cicin Mage

Mondstadt Cathedral, Underground Basement.

Wearing a purple hooded cloak, the Electro Cicin Mage remained silent, inwardly frustrated by the audacity of the person before her. In a flash of lightning, she suddenly appeared in front of Nolan, her legs clad in tight leather pants sweeping towards his neck.

The Electro Cicin Mage was confident in her skills. Perhaps she refrained from using more conspicuous electro spells to avoid attracting the attention of the Knights of Favonius?

The room was spacious.

Most of the Knights of Favonius acting as guards had already finished their shifts. With only two or three remaining, it was normal for them not to notice this place.

This suited Nolan's intentions. His stealth skill hadn't fully recovered yet and probably needed another two minutes. If spotted by the Knights of Favonius, he might end up on the wanted list.

Feeling the pressure from the side, Nolan grabbed her ankle, trying to fling her against the wall.

If it weren't for the unexpectedly fast speed of the Electro Cicin Mage just now, and Nolan needing to secure the Holy Lyre der Himmel first, he could have countered her kick without any issues.

Even if that kick of hers was suspected of being a sneak attack, it should have been fine if he could turn around and block it with his reaction speed.

The Electro Cicin Mage's body was agile. Utilizing her waist to exert force while airborne, she flipped her body, landing both feet on the wall to cushion the impact and simultaneously gathering momentum in her legs.

Wrapping her hands in lightning element, she kicked off the wall, propelling herself lightly towards Nolan's head.

Facing the elemental attack, Nolan dared not confront them head-on this time. Suddenly, his Dull Blade emitted a burst of crimson light.

Rich fire element surged out from the Delusion, attaching itself to the sword. After a brief assessment, he noticed that about ten percent of the elemental power stored in the Delusion had been depleted.

Ignoring the Electro Cicin Mage's attack, he aimed directly for her throat with the sword imbued with fire element.

This move of attacking while defending was reasonable, after all, the Dull Blade was much longer than her arm. If she continued to attack recklessly, she would likely be the first to die.

Clearly, the Electro Cicin Mage wouldn't engage in such a losing situation. She condensed a ball of lightning in her palm and quickly pressed it against the burning sword tip.

ZiZi. (Sizzle.)

The collision of fire and lightning instantly triggered an overload reaction, pushing the two apart.

"Who goes there?!"

"Someone intruded! Quickly inform the acting grand master!"

Such a big commotion immediately attracted the attention of the Knights of Favonius, and their armor clashed with a "clacking" sound and quickly gathered over here.

At this moment, Nolan's stealth skill had just recovered. Without hesitation, he immediately vanished in front of the Electro Cicin Mage.

The Electro Cicin Mage could sense that the damned adventurer was still standing in the original spot, but now, there was no chance to continue snatching the Holy Lyre der Himmel.

The commotion from their fight had already attracted the guards' attention. If they didn't leave now, it would be game over once the acting grand master blocked the exit.

"It's the Fatui Member, capture her!"

Two Knights of Favonius rushed in, cautiously approaching the Electro Cicin Mage with swords in hand.

They could certainly discern the strength of someone who could stealthily infiltrate this place. They needed to delay her as much as possible and wait for more reinforcements to arrive.

"Hmph!"

The Electro Cicin Mage reluctantly conjured a lightning orb in her hand and fired it towards Nolan's original position.

Then, utilizing the power of lightning element, she flashed outside the room, quickly darting away.

The two Knights of Favonius watched as the figure before them disappeared, momentarily stunned.

Dodging the Electro Cicin Mage's lightning orb, Nolan's footsteps immediately alerted the two Knights.

They seemed to have noticed the presence of someone capable of stealth here, thinking it must be the ally of the person from earlier. After all, debt agents among the Fatui People were adept at stealth techniques.

Before the Knights of Favonius could close in, Nolan began running out. At the same time, he whispered softly, "Venti, can you hear me?"

"Ah, I can hear you. I saw your excellent performance just now~" Venti's voice came through.

"In that case, notify Lumine to block the Electro Cicin Mage from escaping. She mentioned something about a 'lady' of the Fatui People being in Mondstadt. There might be some conspiracy, so it's best to capture her and find out," Nolan said as he ran up the stairs leading out of the basement.

With knowledge of the game's storyline, he remembered that Venti was the one who ultimately saved the Storm Dragon, Dvalin, and returned to Mondstadt. Everyone relaxed their guard at that moment, only to have The Fair Lady of the Fatui Harbingers take the Anemo Archon's Gnosis.

The Gnosis was a higher-level elemental control center than the Visions, capable of merging with the body. It was the symbol of the Seven Archons of Teyvat, and only by possessing them could one gain divine power to fulfill the duties of governing a nation.

However, the Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya seems to have some kind of scheme. She actually ordered her subordinates, the Fatui Harbingers, to collect all the Gnosis.

Knowing that such a thing would happen, although Nolan couldn't explicitly say it, it was still necessary to give a subtle reminder.

Even though he was a bit puzzled when watching the plot earlier as to why Venti didn't resist, after all, the Seven Archons of Teyvat didn't become gods because they obtained the Gnosis; they were already immensely powerful Archons.

Whether or not they had the Gnosis wouldn't have much impact on their strength.

So even if Venti no matter how much he says he is weak, it's not that bad that he can't resist the "lady" at all, I don't know what considerations he has...

"Well, my wind has sensed that she left the church, to the left of the cathedral- wait, she jumped down to the Cider Lake. I and the Traveler will go after her first. You hurry and catch up!"

Venti's words were a bit rushed, causing even the breeze brushing past his ears to hasten.

The entire city of Mondstadt was actually built on a large island in the Cider Lake, with the Favonius Cathedral at the narrow tail end, also the highest point.

Therefore, there were cliffs on both sides of the cathedral, with the Cider Lake below. To quickly leave Mondstadt city, using the Wind Gliders to glide directly over the Cider Lake was a good choice.

Nolan ran out of the basement, turned left as soon as he exited the cathedral's gate, and soon arrived at the edge of the cliff. He saw several figures gliding in the sky outside, using Wind Gliders.

Among them, the purple Electro Cicin Mage was in the front, followed by Lumine and Paimon, with Venti at the rear.

Feeling the airflow rushing past his body, Nolan took a leap and flew off the cliff. When his body began to descend, the Wind Glider on his back unfolded with a "whoosh" and glided on the wind.

This was the advantage of being able to store items using elemental power. Equipping the Wind Glider was no longer so troublesome; he could just summon them directly on his back.

"Ooh, she seems to want to fly to the island in front of us, let me give you a boost~"

Venti smiled and said, then summoned a gentle breeze to push Nolan from behind. Soon, he caught up with Lumine and also approached the Electro Cicin Mage.

Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Listening to the Song

High in the sky, several figures unfolded their wind glider and soared on the wind.

Lumine's legs, clad in knee-length white boots, dangled one in front of the other, with the hem of her skirt slightly lifted by the airflow, revealing her snow-white thighs and lantern shorts.

Through her outstretched arms maintaining balance, one could catch a glimpse of the slightly shaded fair skin of her armpits.

Lumine's amber eyes were fixed on the Electro Cicin Mage just over ten meters ahead, and her soft lips parted slightly as she said to the young adventurer beside her:

"I'll fly up and flank her from the side. You try to distract her attention."

"Okay, no problem."

Nolan's Delusion still had ninety percent of its elemental power, probably enough to conjure nine fireballs or imbue the DUll Blade with fire elemental energy nine times.

The best option now, of course, was to launch fireball attacks.

"Alright."

Lumine nodded her golden-haired head, her hands gathering wind elements and propelling them backward like a whirl, significantly increasing her flight speed.

Nolan also gathered fire elements in his palms, forming a small fireball and aiming it at the Wind Glider on the Electro Cicin Mage's back.

Without the enhancement of weapons, directly using elemental power for attacks would be slightly weaker.

If the attack could hit, the damage to the relatively powerful Electro Cicin Mage might be limited.

The best way was to burn her Wind Glider, causing her to fall into the lake. That way, even if she used her electro elements, she would probably be electrocuted, as even she would be shocked by the water.

The Electro Cicin Mage sensed the approaching firelight behind her and gritted her teeth, cursing inwardly:

"If not for the concerns about the Knights of Favonius, I would have electrocuted you into a scone first!"

With that said, she quickly dodged the fireball. But at that moment, a white figure entered her field of vision. Taking advantage of the Electro Cicin Mage's diverted attention towards Nolan, Lumine circled around and approached her from the side.

Then, lifting her right foot clad in high-heeled boots, she kicked directly at the Electro Cicin Mage's exposed flank.

This time, the Electro Cicin Mage couldn't evade. With the immense force of Lumine's high-heeled boot hitting her abdomen, she instantly felt intense pain, her body folding as she was propelled backward towards the Cider Lake.

Lumine was about to retract her foot when suddenly a hand wearing purple gloves grabbed her ankle and attempted to pull her down.

The Electro Cicin Mage, with her mouth revealed beneath the mask, coughed lightly and said:

"You annoying little brat, it's not so easy to defeat me!"

"You!"

Lumine's right foot twitched for a moment, but she found herself tightly grasped by the Electro Cicin Mage. With the Wind Glider barely able to bear the weight of two people, their descent hastened.

"Ah, Traveler!" Paimon behind them showed a panicked expression, eager to help.

Seeing this, Nolan quickly intercepted her and said, "Hey, Paimon, going up there will only put yourself in danger. Let me handle it."

As he spoke, he began to release fire elements from his Delusion, forming small fireballs in his hands.

This time, the Electro Cicin Mage was hanging onto Lumine's foot, and without the convenience of Wind Glider, she probably couldn't escape. Nolan smirked with a hint of a smile.

"Don't move. If you dare to attack me, don't blame me for unleashing my electro element. We'll both end up injured with this yellow-haired girl!"

The Electro Cicin Mage threatened Nolan.

"Oh my, this is getting a little troublesome!" Venti flew over and chuckled as he looked at the situation.

"Hey, you actually have the heart to laugh!" Paimon glared at him, stomping her foot.

"Don't worry, let me play a tune to soothe everyone's body and mind." Venti casually touched the Vision, and it transformed into a wooden lyre called "Der Frühling" in his hand.

Venti's Vision, which was used for show, was actually had the ability to transform into a wooden lyre with Cecilias and blue strings imbued with the power of Anemo.

With this, as a bard, he could perform anytime, anywhere.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please listen attentively to this piece, 'Afternoon Leisure Breeze.' Hm-hm~" Venti gently closed his eyes, using the sky as his stage, his fingers slowly plucking the strings of the lyre.

"What the hell..."

The Electro Cicin Mage felt a sudden inexplicable tranquility. Just as she was about to angrily issue another threat, a calm melody rang out.

Her fluctuating emotions were slowly smoothed out.

"Why am I still working at this hour? I don't want to hear Lady's scolding anymore. Ah, I'm so tired, I just want to go back and rest."

The Electro Cicin Mage's head drooped little by little, her eyelids heavy as if all the exhaustion accumulated over time had erupted at once, making her incredibly drowsy.

Besides wanting to return to her bed for sleep, it seemed she didn't want to do anything else.

Even unconsciously, she loosened her grip on Lumine's hand, and she was about to fall into the lake.

Nolan looked at the situation with slight surprise. Had Barbados, this guy who had been skipping work and slacking off for so many years, spent all his time studying the bard's skills?

Merely with a melody, he could make the powerful Electro Cicin Mage fall asleep. If one could achieve this, it must be the most proud skill of most bards.

"Oops, Nolan, hurry up and catch her. If she falls into the lake, she might wake up again." Venti wiped his forehead and smiled.

Nolan heard Venti's words, his heart skipping a beat, quickly gliding over to catch the Electro Cicin Mage around her waist. Watching her breathing gently with no signs of waking up, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, catching her again wouldn't be easy.

Then, a sudden thought crossed his mind. After clarifying the Fatui's information later, should he knock her out again? After all, with her strength, she could provide quite a few Adventure EXP.

"Hey, hey, Traveler, what's wrong with you!"

Nolan suddenly heard Paimon's panicked voice and quickly turned his gaze, only to find Lumine also hanging limp in the air.

The Wind Glider on her back were slowly descending, resembling a parachute.

"Hehe, little Paimon, don't worry. She just fell asleep. She wasn't near me earlier and naturally fell asleep when she heard the music," Venti explained.

"Phew, I see. You scared me for a moment!" Paimon breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest.

"Nolan, catch the Traveler, and I'll blow you both to the shore. Then we can wake her up with water!"

Venti controlled a gentle breeze, blowing Lumine towards Nolan. With no other choice, Nolan reached out his other hand to catch her.

Although she was a light girl, the weight of both of them made his Wind Glider unable to support them, and they began to descend. At that moment, Venti directed more airflow onto his Wind Glider.

The descent immediately slowed down, and soon they were gliding towards the shore outside Mondstadt. Before long, they safely landed on solid ground.

Chapter 129: Chapter 129: The Worried Acting Grand Master (2-in-1 Chapter)

Nolan retracted his Wind Glider's Wings, tossing the Electro Cicin Mage casually onto the ground before helping the equally deep-sleeping golden-haired girl to stand up.

Lumine's head rested on his shoulder, her soft lips slightly parted, revealing a glimpse of white teeth behind them when she exhaled warm breaths.

Observing Lumine's peacefully closed eyes, Nolan gently patted her twice, feeling the warmth and smoothness of her skin.

Perhaps his actions were too gentle, as Lumine only felt a bit dry on her lips. She stuck out her tongue to moisten them, then pursed her lips and continued to breathe evenly, showing no signs of waking up.

"What a heavy sleeper. Try pinching her nose and mouth, if she can't breathe, she'll definitely wake up!" Paimon first complained with hands on her hips, then offered a suggestion.

"You can also use water. Suddenly chilling the skin can wake someone up too," added Venti, sharing his thoughts.

"Hey, won't that just get her clothes wet? It's uncomfortable to wear wet clothes!" Paimon crossed her arms, arguing.

"Heh heh! Yeah, that's true." Venti chuckled, adjusting his hat with a smile.

"What does 'heh heh' mean?! What's so funny? I feel like giving you a nasty nickname!" Paimon huffed, lifting her chin in a dismissive manner.

"I think Paimon's suggestion is better," Nolan nodded, pressing his index and thumb gently on Lumine's soft nose wings.

Then.

He saw Lumine furrow her brows, naturally parting her lips wider, shifting her breathing process to her mouth.

"Hehe, let me handle this!" Paimon pinched Lumine's philtrum and lower lip. With her breath completely cut off, Lumine suddenly opened her eyes wide, fully awake.

Seeing this, Nolan and Paimon quickly released their hands.

"Cough, what just happened?" Lumine lifted her head from Nolan's shoulder and took two quick breaths, her fair face slightly flushed from the rush.

"It's all because of this guy. When he used his song to attack the enemy, he accidentally affected you too. I was going to wake you up with water!" Paimon pointed at Venti without mincing words.

"It was an unavoidable accident," Venti shrugged helplessly, "Besides, both Paimon and Nolan managed to wake up the Traveler smoothly, didn't they?"

Lumine didn't pay much attention to these, she just expressed her gratitude to everyone.

[Lumine Has Developed Good Feelings Towards You, Obtained 120 Affection Points, Current Affection Level: Lv.4 (135/400)]

Nolan glanced at the affinity notification that popped up on the character panel, nodding slightly with satisfaction:

"Now that we've captured the Electro Cicin Mage, let's interrogate her first and see if we can find out what the Fatui's conspiracy is."

"Yes, let's do that!" Paimon nodded vigorously, smiling.

Nolan and the others first tied up the Electro Cicin Mage and confiscated her purple Delusion to prevent her from resisting upon waking up.

This time, they didn't bother to be as delicate as waking up Lumine. Instead, Venti used the wind element to scoop up a handful of lake water and splashed it directly on the Electro Cicin Mage's face.

The icy sensation interrupted her beautiful dream, and the Electro Cicin Mage woke up abruptly, shouting angrily:

"Who! Which idiot dared to do this!"

She was about to raise her hand and channel elemental power, but found it useless. Her Delusion couldn't perceive anything, and her limbs were immobilized. Then, she saw several familiar figures appearing before her.

Slowly, her memories of the previous events started to return, especially the fact that she had actually fallen asleep to the sound of the lyre!

How could this be possible?

She was one of the elite members of the Fatui who could accompany the Lady, how could she be caught by a few unknown individuals?!

It was somewhat unbelievable to her.

However, the reality was as such, and the Electro Cicin Mage could only look at the few people in front of her and threaten loudly, "Who are you people! Do you know who you're messing with?"

"Alright, alright, everyone knows you're a Fatui Member, so spill it. Why did you go to steal the Holy Lyre der Himmel? What conspiracy does your Fatui Executive, 'Lady', have in Mondstadt?" Nolan's lips curled up, forming a faint smile as he inquired.

"That's right, spill it, or we'll continue to beat you up!" Paimon, wearing a golden crown, floated in the air with a majestic wave of her little fist.

"Hmph, aren't you all here to steal the lyre too? And you have the nerve to ask me!" The Electro Cicin Mage scoffed sarcastically.

"Oh? So you indeed covet the power of the Stormterror?" Venti stroked her chin, pondering aloud.

No, of course not. If Nolan didn't understand the game plot, he might have been misled by the Electro Cicin Mage's appearance.

It wasn't that the Fatui harbored no intentions towards the Storm Dragon; rather, they didn't solely have intentions towards it.

The ultimate goal of the Fatui was undoubtedly to summon the Storm Dragon using the Holy Lyre der Himmel, then use the Stormterror to lure out the Anemo Archon, Barbatos, and ultimately seize the Gnosis.

In other words, their ultimate goal was you, Venti. Nolan glanced at the green-clad Anemo Archon with a glance.

"It's not that simple, is it? Unless you have a way to control the Stormterror, what's the use of summoning it? Even if it's awakened now and its sanity is affected, normally it's one of Mondstadt's Four Winds Guardians, why would it listen to you, members of the Fatui?"

Nolan attempted to find loopholes to extract more information from the Electro Cicin Mage.

"You don't need to worry about that. Our Lady naturally has her methods," the Electro Cicin Mage retorted stubbornly.

Lumine's amber eyes calmly stared at her, her soft lips slightly parted as she spoke, "You're lying. Back then, the Fatui delegation said they were going to deal with the Stormterror, but in reality, you didn't want to, nor could you control it, right?"

The gentle breeze brushing across the surface of the lake gently disturbed her white skirt, revealing glimpses of her snow-white thighs beneath the knee-high boots.

"That's surprising. What benefit do you gain from going to such lengths to kill the Stormterror..." Venti's pupils revealed a hint of surprise, as he continued to contemplate, "I understand now. As a dragon associated with the Anemo Archon, it would surely attract the Archon if it was in danger. So your target is actually the Anemo Archon, isn't it?"

"What?!" Hearing Venti's words, even Paimon was astonished, covering her mouth in shock.

"If that's the case, it all makes sense." Lumine stared at the Electro Cicin Mage with a smirk playing on her lips.

Whether it was Lumine or Venti, they were both very clever individuals, easily untangling various relationships and connecting the dots.

"You, you... How did you..."

The Electro Cicin Mage was now dumbfounded. She hadn't revealed anything, yet she was so easily guessed.

"So, what is your purpose in seeking out the Anemo Archon?" Nolan asked the final question.

As long as he could let Venti know in advance, perhaps they could protect the Gnosis from being taken away for nothing.

Even if Venti ultimately chose to give away the Gnosis, which was of no use to him, they couldn't let it be taken away for nothing for Archon's sake, just like in the game plot.

After all, the other Archons—Geo, Electro, and Dendro—had all willingly given theirs, while you, the Anemo Archon, were unclear and had it taken away after being kicked by someone else.

No matter what, you have to exchange a sum of money for a drink in the future, right? Nolan thought slightly speechless.

"Hmph, do you think I would know all that so clearly? Such secrets can only be answered by asking our Lady herself," the Electro Cicin Mage sneered, glancing aside.

"Well, since you don't know, there's no use in keeping you." Nolan approached her with a smile, taking two steps forward.

"Wait, you won't get away with this..!"

The Electro Cicin Mage hadn't finished her sentence when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her neck and consciousness slipped into darkness, fainting.

[Defeated A Powerful Enemy, Obtained 2230 Adventure EXP.]

Looking at the accumulated Adventure EXP, Nolan felt that it was worth being kicked by her earlier.

Although the Electro Cicin Mage hadn't explained why they were seeking the Anemo Archon, with Venti's wisdom from living for so many years, he probably could guess some answers.

"I didn't expect the Fatui to be scheming like this, trying to lure you out, Venti. They're really a bunch of bad guys!"

Paimon stomped her foot in the air, indignantly, while Lumine's amber eyes also showed a worried expression.

"Geez, that's why we need to act fast to save Dvalin, so they won't have a chance to threaten me with it."

Venti said, still not appearing too concerned.

"Now that we've got the Holy Lyre der Himmel, what's next?" Nolan said as he took the lyre out of the Delusion and handed it to Venti.

"The flowing wind patterned rosewood and slightly cool star iron strings, it's really nostalgic" Venti said emotionally as he held the Holy Lyre der Himmel in his hands, But to use it to call Dvalin, we're still lacking something."

"Ah, why is that?" Paimon rubbed her golden crown, feeling its cool metal texture, a little puzzled.

"After so many years have passed, the power of 'wind' on the strings of the Holy Lyre der Himmel has long since been depleted, and we need to replenish it."

Venti explained as he stroked the Sky Lyre.

"So that's how it is, then hurry up and channel the wind element to it to replenish its 'wind' power!"

Paimon struggled to think of a suitable word to describe "replenish the lyre with wind elements", and ultimately gave up after failing to come up with one.

"Haha, Paimon, the usual method of attaching wind elements is far from sufficient. The concentration of wind elements is still too low, and it's difficult to maintain continuously. Moreover, there's a risk of damaging the Holy Lyre der Himmel if not careful," Venti laughed and explained.

"Oh, is that so?" Paimon scratched her white hair, puzzled.

"So, it actually needs 'tears of the wind dragon' to repair it, which is also the reason why you're collecting them, Venti," Lumine speculated, taking out purified red crystals.

"Hehe, indeed, as expected of a Traveler, you've figured it out. Dvalin's tears contain pure and rich wind elements, just a simple drop on the Holy Lyre der Himmel can replenish its wind element," Venti said with a smile.

"Well then, no time to waste. Lumine, go ahead and give it a try," Nolan said without surprise.

Lumine nodded lightly and took two steps forward with her legs wrapped in knee-high white boots, approaching the Holy Lyre der Himmel.

She let the crystal-clear tear of the storm dragon drop onto the strings of the lyre. Like liquid, it was easily absorbed by the strings, and gradually, each string seemed to glow with vitality.

"Wow, it looks even prettier now!" Paimon exclaimed, twisting in the air, seeming quite excited.

"But it's still not enough. We need more wind elements. Help me drop another one," Venti said, feeling that the Holy Lyre der Himmel was indeed in much better condition than before, and the wind elements within it had not continued to deplete. However, there was still a long way to go to reach the level where it could call Dvalin.

He took out another purified teardrop crystal and handed it to Lumine.

"Okay."

As the second wind dragon teardrop dropped, the Holy Lyre der Himmel blossomed with a burst of light, and it felt like the flavor of the wind element on it was even stronger.

However, it should still be insufficient. Nolan remembered that in the plot, more than two tears of the wind dragon were used to repair the Holy Lyre der Himmel

Nolan thought so.

"It's as expected. Just two tears are not enough. Traveler, adventurer buddy, we need to find more tears of the Stormterror," Venti sighed regretfully.

"Ah, why do we have to collect Dvalin's tears again? Where can we find them?" Paimon spread her hands helplessly.

"It's indeed troublesome, and with just a few of us, who knows how long it will take to find them," Lumine, with her hands wrapped in long sleeves, said, placing them beneath her chest.

Nolan pondered for a moment and then said:

"Why don't we explain the situation to the Acting Grand Master and ask for her help? After all, the longer it takes, the greater the chance the Abyss Order will succeed in controlling Dvalin."

"Yes, and we can also ask the Knights of Favonius to help us find them. At the same time, we can hand over these Fatui to the Acting Grand Master, saying that she sneaked into the cathedral trying to steal the Holy Lyre der Himmel and was stopped by us!"

Paimon said happily, looking at the Electro Cicin Mage on the ground.

"That's right. With this handle, I believe the diplomatic mission to Snezhnaya won't dare to meddle with the Knights of Favonius openly," Lumine said, her amber eyes shining brightly.

"It seems that's the only way. Let's hope you two honorable knights can be of some use this time and gain the trust of our Acting Grand Master," Venti said, looking at Nolan and Lumine with a smile.

"If all else fails, you could just reveal your identity as the Anemo Archon," Nolan replied with a smile.

...

As Nolan and the others acted, it was already 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Chasing the Electro Cicin Mage also took quite some time. Therefore, when they arrived at the Knights of Favonius headquarters, the night sky was already filled with stars.

Entering the Knights of Favonius hall and knocking on the door of the acting grand master's office, they found that Jean was sitting at her desk with a worried expression.

Ah, the crisis of the Stormterror has not been resolved, and she was just informed of the news that Mondstadt's treasure, the Holy Lyre der Himmel, was stolen by the Fatui. How could the Acting Grand Master not be worried?

"Hehe, Acting Grand Master Jean, we're here again!" Paimon shouted.

The noise from Paimon's voice made Jean feel a bit uncomfortable, and she rubbed her temples.

Looking up at the unexpected visitors, she said with some surprise, "Oh, Paimon, two honorable knights, and a stranger. Is there something I can help you with?"

Chapter 130: Chapter 130: The Angel's Share

In the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius, in the office of the Acting Grand Master.

Candles flickered on the chandelier on the ceiling, emitting a bright yellow light that illuminated the entire room. Whether sitting or standing, the shadows cast by the people appeared darker.

The desk of the acting grand master was piled high with documents, casting long shadows on the soft legs of Jean, who was wearing tight white pants, as if covered with a semi-transparent black filter.

One could imagine her level of busyness, most likely due to the trouble caused by the wind disaster.

"Grand Master Jean, we have found a way to save Stormterror," Lumine said with a smile on her fair face.

Jean closed a file she had just approved, showing a slightly surprised expression. She hadn't expected a turnaround to happen so quickly.

She put down the quill she was using to write and gently massaged the sides of her thighs with her fair hands, relieving the numbness from sitting for too long, while saying, "Traveler, please tell me more."

"Hehe, let me tell, let me tell!" Paimon, dressed in all white, eagerly interjected before Lumine could speak.

"...," Lumine, with her waist covered by a dress, looked at her helplessly, then sighed and said, "Fine, you go ahead..."

"It's like this. After we left the Knights of Favonius HQ this morning, we met a bard... um, this guy," Paimon's wandering gaze stopped on Venti as she spoke.

"A bard?" Jean's elbows rested on the table, her fair fingers intertwined under her chin, her eyes showing a hint of doubt.

What kind of bard would know how to save Stormterror?

"...Then Venti said he could use the Holy Lyre der Himmel to summon Stormterror, so we went to the cathedral to borrow it from Nun Gotelinde. But we found out that the Fatui People also had intentions for it, so we caught her, and now we have the Holy Lyre der Himmel," Paimon briefly recounted the events.

Jean, sitting with her legs together, nodded after listening, feeling slightly relieved. At least she didn't have to worry about losing the Holy Lyre der Himmel anymore.

"So you didn't actually intend to borrow the Holy Lyre der Himmel, but rather to steal it. Then you found out that the Fatui Member had also infiltrated the cathedral's underground,"

Jean couldn't help but complain as she looked at them. In the end, whether there were Fatui or not, the Holy Lyre der Himmel would still be lost.

"Hehe," Paimon scratched his head in embarrassment, and then accused Venti, "It's all because this bard was abetting us, in fact, we didn't want to steal anything at all, if you want to arrest him, just arrest him."

"Oii, Paimon, you're putting all the blame on me, it's so heartbreaking," Venti said, clutching his chest in a pained manner.

"Now that you have the Holy Lyre der Himmel, do you still want to deny it?" Paimon crossed her arms and looked away, showing that she was shifting the blame.

"Um, Grand Master Jean, besides explaining the situation, we also need your help in solving the Mondstadt crisis and saving Stormterror," Nolan ignored the two arguing people and got straight to the point with Jean.

"Do you want to continue borrowing the Holy Lyre der Himmel? If the method is indeed feasible, I can vouch for you."

Jean said, crossing her right leg over her left under the table, her feet in white boots slightly raised, after thinking for a moment.

"This should be useful, but the Holy Lyre der Himmel has suffered severe power loss and still needs to find some high-purity wind element materials for repair and supplementation,"

Nolan continued, explaining that the red crystal like tear was Dvalin's tears and could be purified by Lumine.

After purification, it successfully served as advanced wind element materials, replenishing part of the lost power of the Holy Lyre, but it was still not enough, so they needed the Knights of Favonius to help find more.

"I see.

"But unfortunately, Stormterror caused a wind disaster in Mondstadt, causing the citizens to blame it deeply. If the Knights of Favonius take any actions to show goodwill towards it, it will definitely be misunderstood by the Fatui. So, accusing them of attempting to steal the Supreme Treasure of the Anemo Archon, the Holy Lyre der Himmel, will not be effective."

As the acting grand master, Jean had to consider many aspects, especially when the actions of the Knights of Favonius during such a crisis would be magnified, and she couldn't afford to be caught by people with malicious intentions.

"Ah, I didn't expect Grand Master Jean to bear such pressure," Paimon said somewhat surprised.

Currently, Jean is basically the highest-ranking administrator in Mondstadt. People who haven't reached this position really can't imagine the enormity of that responsibility.

"However, even though the Knights of Favonius can't undertake large-scale operations, personally, I still want to do everything I can to help everyone, so I'd like to ask you to meet someone."

Jean interlocked her hands and rested them on her abdomen, leaning back on her soft thighs. Her shawl slipped off slightly, revealing her snow-white back, her face showing a pensive expression.

"Meet someone? Could it be someone even more powerful than Grand Master Jean?" Paimon asked in confusion.

"It's someone who protects Mondstadt in their own way." Jean stood up from her chair, not saying much more.

"Someone who protects Mondstadt?" Lumine, with her arms in white long sleeves crossed over her chest, lowered her chin in thought, wondering who Grand Master Jean's predecessor could be.

Oh, it's probably Master Diluc, the Darknight Hero of Mondstadt.

Nolan thought to himself.

Next, the acting grand master first instructed two of the Knights of Favonius to take the still unconscious Electro Cicin Mage to the prison, then sighed as she looked at the documents on her desk:

"I can't leave right now, so I can only write a letter for you to take."

She took out clean paper and an envelope from the cabinet in her desk and wrote beautiful words with a quill.

Grand Master Jean isn't going with them?

Nolan looked somewhat dumbfounded at the situation. It was probably his appearance that led to some slight changes in the details of the game plot.

For example, originally, Electro Cicin Mage would have successfully taken the Holy Lyre, and Traveler and Venti would have been wanted during their escape, temporarily hiding in Diluc's tavern with his help to evade pursuit by the Knights of Favonius.

Then they would continue with the plot of finding the stronghold of the Fatui and reclaiming the Holy Lyre der Himmel with the help of Diluc's underground intelligence network.

During that time, he had also invited the Acting Grand Master Jean to come over and help.

But now Nolan and the others managed to capture the Electro Cicin Mage, and most importantly, the Holy Lyre der Himmel was not stolen.

Then it was reasonable for Grand Master Jean to feel that the situation was still under control and choose to finish the more important things first.

After all, the search for the Red Crystals relied heavily on Dilux's underground intelligence network, and it would be difficult for her to play a role in the past for a while.

Not long after.

Jean folded the written letter and placed it in the envelope, then sealed it with a red wax seal bearing the emblem of the Knights of Favonius.

She handed the letter to Nolan and said:

"Go to the 'Angel's Share' tavern, find the owner there, Diluc, and deliver the letter from the Knights of Favonius to him. I believe that after understanding the situation, he will assist you."

"Got it."

Nolan took the letter and nodded in agreement.

"Well then, don't delay. I entrust the task of saving Stormterror and resolving the crisis in Mondstadt to you!"

Jean smiled faintly.

[Jean Has Developed Good Feelings Towards You, Obtained 200 Affection Points, Current Affection Level Lv.4 (230/400)]

200 affection points? The increase seems significant. It should be due to the title of "Honorable Knight" playing some role.

Nolan thought silently.

Chapter 131: Chapter 131: The Rising Fame of Little Paimon?

Eight o'clock in the evening, Angel's Share tavern.

Many adventurers who ventured into the wilderness for dangerous exploration gathered inside and outside the tavern, drinking wine and sharing their adventure stories of the day.

Nolan and the others approached from afar, seeing the lively scene outside the tavern, and unexpectedly spotting Jack, a former member of Bennett's adventurer team.

"Haha, Jack, you can't be an adventurer if you don't drink!

Only adventurers who can hold their liquor are qualified adventurers! Come on, let's drink this cup together!"

A burly man with a full beard patted the thinner newcomer adventurer next to him and said.

"Ah, Mr. Matt, please don't hand me the wine glass. I've already said I'm not used to drinking!"

Jack, in his green adventurer outfit, quickly pushed away Matt's muscular arm.

"You've been knocked out by a hilichurl today, how can you not have a drink to make up for it?" Adventurer Matt laughed heartily.

On the outdoor tables not far from them, a short-haired adventurer watched Jack and his group, took a gulp of beer, then turned to sigh with his companion:

"Ugh, blame it on that stupid Stormterror, blowing away the tiles of my house with its windstorm. I've been busy all day repairing it. How many treasure chests do I need to find to earn back the Mora spent on repairing the roof?"

"You're lucky. The other day, I forgot to close the windows in my room, and that damm Stormterror actually took away all my hidden money... Sigh, you know, my wife usually doesn't give me mora for coming to the tavern to drink, so today this drink money...hehe" The companion of the short-haired adventurer said with a smile.

"I know, I know, all the roof tiles have been replaced, we don't need your two drinks. The beer brewed by Dawn Winery is really rich in wheat flavor!"

"By the way, we can still drink here now, thanks to those two heroes who defeated Stormterror. I heard they've been honored by the Knights of Favonius as Honorable Knights. It's really admirable."

"Really? I heard one of them is a young adventurer with the appearance of a traveler from Liyue and the other is a blonde girl with a flying fairy. it's a pity that I didn't witness the scene where they fought off the dragon." The short-haired adventurer seemed to have endless emotions.

Defeating a dragon was something legendary, he had only heard Master Cyrus mention it when he was drunk, but had never had the chance to witness it himself.

"Uh, it seems like a few people over there..."

"What's wrong?"

"...Nothing, it just seems like I saw those two you mentioned entering the tavern. Maybe I'm drunk and seeing things." The companion of the short-haired adventurer shook his head, looking confused.

"Hehehe, didn't think we were actually this famous."

he group entered the tavern, which was equally lively inside. Paimon heard the discussion outside and held her little fists slightly excitedly.

"Geez, I remember it was the Traveler and the adventurer buddy who defeated Stormterror, why are you so excited?"

Venti looked at her with a smile and said.

"What the heck, didn't they mention a flying fairy as well, so they must be talking about me." Paimon clasped her hands and lifted her chin slightly with a smug look on her face.

Lumine lightly chuckled at Paimon's demeanor, then walked towards the bar, her white skirt swaying slightly as she moved her legs clad in knee-high boots, with a faint shadow beneath her snow-white thighs.

In front of her, a young man with red hair was slightly lowering his head, wiping the glass in his hand.

"Hello, what would you like to drink?"

The redhead paused his movement and calmly asked the visitors.

"Hello, we're here to see the owner."

Lumine replied politely.

"... "

Diluc paused for a moment, then nodded, "What's the matter?"

"Hehe, we have some private matters, not convenient for you to know." Paimon flew up with a spin and smiled.

"I am the owner. Speak up."

Diluc sighed and continued wiping the glass.

"Um." Paimon and Lumine hesitated slightly.

"I can't believe someone doesn't recognize Master Diluc, he's such a prominent figure in Mondstadt."

Venti pretended to be surprised and smiled.

"Ah, Traveler, look, he's mocking us again. We've only been in Mondstadt for a few days, isn't it normal not to know?" Paimon stamped her foot angrily in mid-air.

"I see, so it's you, the outsiders who defeated Stormterror." Diluc, with red hair, looked at the humanoid Pokemon (flying fairy type Pokemon~hehe) and the golden-haired girl. With these two prominent elements, a slight association matched the information he had obtained.

"Wow, does even Master Diluc know us?!" Paimon exclaimed in surprise.

"I've heard a bit." Diluc didn't deny it, then calmly asked again, "So, what's the matter with you guys coming to me?"

His gaze swept over the several visitors in front of him that he wasn't familiar with.

The strange little flying fairy, the golden-haired traveler, the eccentric bard, and Diluc noticed Nolan's slight hesitation and the flash of surprise in his expression.

The young adventurer he had met once seemed to have taken part in the battle to repel the dragon, and from the information he had gathered, it seemed that he had practiced the ordinary Favonius Archery to an extraordinary level of "secret transmission".

It seemed he had been a bit lazy in not investigating him thoroughly earlier. The appearance of such a talent in Mondstadt was worth pondering, and Diluc subtly raised the corner of his mouth.

Nolan didn't realize he had once again entered the sight of this darknight hero. He approached the bar and took out the letter, handing it over, saying:

"We've encountered some difficulties in dealing with the Stormterror incident and would like to request your assistance.

"...It was recommended to us by Acting Grand Master Jean."

Nolan added, fearing he might not care.

"Oh?" Diluc took the letter and looked at the Knight's emblem on the red wax seal, feeling somewhat surprised. "What's the big deal that made the Acting Grand Master mention me to you?"

Although he officially had no affiliation with the Knights of Favonius, he was still considered one of Mondstadt's more important covert forces. If it wasn't an important and difficult-to-solve matter, generally they wouldn't seek him out.

Not long after,

Diluc finished reading the opened letter, understanding the situation and the specific help they needed.

"I see. You want to find the red crystals left by Stormterror, which are its tears?"

"Uh-huh, that's right!" Paimon nodded his head twice heavily.

"No problem. Come back tomorrow night after the tavern closes, and I'll provide you with the information you need."

Suddenly, a flame ignited in Diluc's hand, incinerating the letter. He maintained a calm expression on his face.

"Ah!" Paimon was startled and instinctively recoiled.

One day's time? Nolan quickly assessed in his mind. It seemed relatively fast, considering there wasn't an internet in Teyvat. Even with strong intelligence-gathering abilities, there still needed to be time for information to be passed around.

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Teardrop Intelligence (2-in-1 Chapter)

"Seriously, why make such a scary move all of a sudden?" Paimon crossed her arms, staring displeasedly at the red-haired youth.

Diluc didn't respond. He took out a clean cloth and wiped the table, where a few ashes had fallen.

"Hehe, since Master Diluc is so willing, then we'll wait patiently for good news." Venti chuckled lightly, then said to the others, "Oh my, I still want to drink here for a while. Let's meet again tomorrow."

"No problem, we'll head out first."

Nolan nodded and left the tavern with Lumine and Paimon, walking outside.

As it hadn't been long since they entered, the adventurers who had discussed them earlier were still chatting away inside. Nearby, Jack seemed to have had too much to drink and was slumped over the table.

Outside, another group of people were toasting and drinking, creating a lively scene.

"..Hmm, looking at them, I feel a bit hungry too. It seems like everyone hasn't had dinner yet," Paimon floated along the road, rubbing her stomach.

Lumine stretched her arms, the dim streetlights reflecting off her armpits and side chest, creating soft wrinkles where they met.

She parted her lips and yawned, smiling at the young adventurer beside her, saying, "I treated at lunch, so it's your turn for dinner."

Nolan pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Hmm, that's not a bad idea. Since it's late, why don't we go to my place? Cooking ourselves is cheap and practical! And my rented house and the inn you're staying in are on the same street, so it's convenient to go back."

Paimon floated in front of him, looking at him with some suspicion. "What are you talking about being cheap and practical? You won't just whip up some stir-fried shredded pork and call it a day, will you? Remember, we had a big meal at lunch!"

"Yeah, if it's too half-hearted, hmph!"

Lumine placed her hands on the sides of her waist, the backless white dress hugging her figure, and looked over with a slight smile.

"Don't worry, although my cooking skills are average, I know quite a few tricks. I'll try my best to whip up a perfect meal for you guys on the spot!" Nolan assured, patting his chest.

"Hehe, that's what you said!" Paimon looked pleasantly surprised, seeming to sense Nolan's enthusiasm.

[Paimon Has Developed Good Feelings Towards You, Obtained 150 Affection Points. Current Affection Level: Lv. 3 (90/300)]

Lumine's fair face lit up with a smile. "Hmm, I'm looking forward to it."

[Lumine Has Developed Good Feelings Towards You, Obtained 100 Affection Points. Current Affection Level: Lv. 4 (235/400)]

When they arrived at Val Berry Street, Nolan's home, Lumine and Paimon both showed surprised expressions at the two-story exquisite house.

"I didn't expect you to be so wealthy, living in such a beautiful house!"

Paimon widened her starry eyes and looked at him.

"Haha, it's the property of Eula, the captain of the Knights' reconnaissance team. Since I'm acquainted with her, she rented it to me cheaply." Nolan explained briefly, then led them inside.

The high-heeled over-the-knee boots stepped on the ground in the courtyard, and Lumine, with a puzzled expression, asked, "Eula? The captain of the reconnaissance team? It seems I haven't seen her in the Knights' of Favonius?"

"Because she's on an outside mission. I reckon she'll be back soon for a break," Nolan speculated as he entered the living room.

"Wow, being able to rent such a beautiful house cheaply, the captain of the reconnaissance team must be quite wealthy, hehe. I really want to be friends with her."

Paimon rubbed her hands together, revealing a greedy look.

Lumine watched her with a helpless expression, rubbing her forehead as she walked away. She settled onto the light blue soft sofa in the living room, her soft buttocks sinking slightly into the cushions.

She propped her right foot on tiptoe, stretching her legs out and sinking into the plush backrest.

"Finally, I can rest for a while." The golden-haired girl sighed softly.

Feeling more tired in Mondstadt than during wilderness travels, Lumine was relieved to have found the Anemo Archon and hoped Venti could provide some clues about her brother.

Meanwhile, Paimon curiously explored the exquisite two-story building while Nolan busied himself preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Before long, a series of dishes, looking appetizing and probably delicious, were neatly arranged on the table.

Paimon's mouth was watering, but instead of diving in eagerly, she looked towards the light blue sofa, preparing to call her best friend.

"Traveler, dinner's ready. Why are you asleep?" Paimon scratched her head, a puzzled expression on her face.

On the sofa, Lumine had leaned back against the backrest and drifted off to sleep. Her chest gently rose and fell, and her lips exhaled evenly.

"Is she too tired?" Nolan, about to sit down for dinner, also noticed Lumine sleeping.

"It seems so. Since arriving in Mondstadt, the Traveler hasn't had much sleep, always on the move, so we'd better not disturb her rest for now."

Paimon said, rubbing his chin, then spoke to Nolan in a concerned tone, "Hmm, won't it be uncomfortable for the Traveler to sleep like this? Why don't you fetch a pillow and help her take off her boots, adjust her sleeping position?"

"You're quite the taskmaster, Paimon," Nolan teased, but he didn't refuse.

"Oh, please! I'm so small, how could I possibly move her? Don't tease me like that; I'll give you a nickname too!" Paimon hugged her arms, turning her cheek away as if to ignore him.

Later on, Nolan fetched his pillow from the room and had Paimon hold it while he squatted down in front of Lumine's legs.

He gently lifted Lumine's leg with his left hand, feeling the extreme softness in his palm and fingers, while his right hand continued to lightly loosen her boot from her ankle.

Then, with a gentle tug, the boot slid off her leg, revealing pure white semi-transparent stockings underneath.

Compared to wearing boots, there was a warm and smooth touch as his palm supported them.

After removing both boots, Nolan had Paimon place the pillow at one end of the sofa, allowing Lumine to rest her cheek on it while lifting her legs onto the sofa. He then covered her with a thin blanket, ensuring her comfort.

As time passed, morning arrived.

The dim light seeped through the windows, illuminating the living room, ultimately falling on the light blue sofa.

Yawning, Lumine rubbed her eyes and opened them. Feeling relaxed, she suddenly felt something pressing against her stomach.

Lifting the thin blanket covering her, she saw Paimon, without her golden crown, fast asleep on her abdomen, a droplet of saliva at the corner of her mouth.

Like she was dreaming of something delicious.

"Oh, speaking of food, did she sleep over at Nolan's place last night?" Lumine thought awkwardly.

"Ah, you're awake, Traveler. Time for breakfast!" Paimon popped up from under the covers, yawning. "You were sleeping so soundly last night that I didn't want to wake you. So, you had to make do on the sofa."

"Oh, I see. Wait, what about the inn?" Lumine suddenly realized she might have wasted the 8000 mora she spent on renting the inn.

"Why don't you just stay here? There are spare rooms anyway, and it's better than spending so much on an inn," Nolan suggested, coming out of the kitchen with breakfast.

"Hehe, that's right! The conditions here are even better than the inn. Let's stay here for a while until we earn some mora," Paimon agreed, smiling.

"Hmm, wouldn't that be too much trouble?" Lumine hesitated. Staying at the inn might deplete her savings, especially considering Paimon's unexpectedly large appetite.

"Why would it be? Think of it as roommates. Besides, you're an honorable knight. Just mention it to Caption Eula, and I'm sure she won't have a problem with it." Nolan suggested after some thought.

After all, this place was rented to him cheaply by Eula. Others might not have the same treatment, so it was polite to inform her regardless.

"Well, thank you then," Lumine said, glancing at the over-the-knee boots lying next to the sofa. She stretched out her feet, unzipped the boots with her hands, and nodded in agreement.

[Lumine Has Developed Good Feelings Towards You, Obtained 200 Affection Points. Current Affection Level: Lv. 5 (35/500)]

It wasn't beyond Nolan's expectations that Lumine would agree.

After all, her previous affection for him was at level four, indicating a good friendship. Living under the same roof wouldn't be a problem with the right opportunity.

After breakfast, they went out to buy some daily necessities, then returned to tidy up the unused room on the second floor.

It took them about two hours to finish.

Later, they went to the Adventurers' Guild, where Lumine registered as an adventurer and familiarized herself with the specific procedures with Nolan's help.

The commission was issued in the Adventurer's Guild because there was a lot of repair work in the city after the storm, and a certain construction team didn't have enough manpower and needed help urgently.

The commission fee wasn't high, just 20,000 mora per person, more or less equivalent to a day's temporary work.

At 6 p.m., after successfully receiving the commission fee, they returned home, had dinner, and rested for a while. Then, nearing midnight when Angel's Share tavern was about to close, they began heading there.

Not long after, Nolan and the others arrived at the tavern again, just in time to see the last customer leaving.

"Hey, Master Diluc, we're back!" Paimon shouted as she flew into the tavern, followed closely by Nolan and Lumine.

"Oh, hey there. You're right on time," Venti belched, his face still slightly flushed. "I just got here myself."

"From afternoon till now, you've spent 120,000 mora here. If you can't pay, you can stay back and wash glasses," Master Diluc, today doubling as a bartender, said calmly to the somewhat disheveled bard.

He had long noticed that this guy had been hanging around without a penny in his pocket.

"..Ahem, what about Nolan and Lumine?" Diluc's words made Venti feel a bit embarrassed as he glanced at the newcomers.

"You singing bard! You've spent over a hundred thousand mora in just one afternoon! We don't have that kind of money to lend you!" Paimon stomped angrily in mid-air.

Just yesterday, she and the Traveler were worrying about mora, and now this guy had spent so much in just one afternoon.

What's the point of being the Anemo Archon if you're not going to act like one!

Barbatos has this problem; not only does he love drinking, but he also loves expensive drinks. Gods can be picky too.

Nolan commented somewhat exasperatedly.

"Yeah, I think cleaning up the tavern suits you," Lumine said with a hint of a smile, her fair hands resting on her waist.

"Haha, Traveler, you're kidding, right?" Venti pretended to be adorable and widened his eyes.

In the end, Diluc didn't actually make Nolan and the others pay. He allowed them to owe him, considering they were all working together to solve Mondstadt's crisis.

"As for finding the Tears of the Stormterror, I've gathered plenty of clues," Diluc said, laying out a map of Mondstadt on the counter. The group gathered around, focusing their gaze on it, noticing a red circle drawn around the Thousand Winds Temple and two in the Dadaupa Gorge.

"According to the information I've gathered, the Stormterror has recently been seen in these areas. If there's a place where the Stormterror's Tears are most likely to be found, it's undoubtedly these locations," Diluc stated calmly.

"Wow, Master Diluc, you're really reliable," Paimon said, somewhat amazed. To gather such detailed information in just a day.

"So, we just need to follow the map to search in those areas?"

Nolan tapped his head lightly, asking. It had been quite a while, and he didn't remember the specific details of the game's plot, but with his increased strength and memory, he vaguely recalled these locations.

It seemed they also had to deal with monsters or something.

"That's right," the red-haired Diluc said, folding his arms. "Tomorrow morning, bring two more helpers with you. The Abyss Order is very cunning, and they might cause some trouble."

Hearing Diluc's words, Nolan's expression turned thoughtful.

If he didn't remember wrongly, wanting to clean the poisonous blood in Dvalin's body in order to save it actually relied on Lumine's purification power, after all, the Stormterror Teardrops, also known as the Red Crystals, flowed out of its body.

Both powers aligned; if Lumine could purify the tears, she could naturally cleanse Dvalin's blood.

And in the game's plot, after Venti and the others repaired the Holy Lyre, they hadn't had much of a chance to speak with Dvalin before suddenly appearing Abyss Mages disrupted everything.

And they even damaged the Holy Lyre in the process.

If they really brought a few more people as Diluc suggested, took out the Abyss Mages in advance, and prevented the Stormterror from escaping, their plan should proceed smoothly.

At the end of the game's plot, it was still going to be a fight with the Storm Dragon anyway.

There's nothing wrong with being a little ahead of schedule, right?

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: The Black Sun Clan

After discussing the details of their plan with Diluc at the tavern, Nolan, Lumine, and Paimon made their way to the Knights of Favonius headquarters.

Even though it was late at night, the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius was still at work. From outside, they could see the light still emanating from her office.

The shadow of someone sitting in a chair, constantly signing documents, was cast upon the window. They could clearly see the slight swaying of the single ponytail.

Nolan pushed open the still-unlocked main door of the hall and lightly knocked on the door to the Acting Grand Master's office.

"Please come in," came the voice of the Acting Grand Master from inside the office after a moment of silence.

With a click, the doorknob twisted and the wooden door was pushed open.

"Oh, it's you. What brings you here at this late hour?" The Acting Grand Master Jean, with her golden ponytail, raised her hands to the back of her head to adjust her hair. Her snow-white skin was generously illuminated by the candlelight.

"Hehe, good evening, Grand Master. Sorry to bother you at this hour," Paimon politely greeted as they entered the office, then explained, "We have some information regarding the Tears of the Dragon."

Jean, having finished arranging her hair, leaned against the desk and slightly shook her head as she spoke, "Have you already found their whereabouts?"

"Yes, Master Diluc is truly amazing. In just one day, he managed to track the movements of the Stormterror and roughly deduced the possible locations where the red crystals might exist," Paimon nodded heavily, smiling.

"Well, since there are quite a few locations, to save time, we've come to ask for assistance," Lumine, standing with her legs slightly apart in white over-the-knee boots, continued from where Paimon left off.

"It would be best to invite Captain Kaeya and the others. Once the Holy Lyre is repaired, we should be able to summon the Stormterror. Then, let Lumine try to purify the poisonous blood within it. During this time, we may face disruptions from the Abyss Order, or even conflict with the Stormterror," Nolan informed the Acting Grand Master of the detailed plan they had discussed at the tavern.

"I see, I understand."

Jean leaned slightly forward, her hands supporting her chest, her fair jaw slightly nodding as she continued, "However, the Knights cannot be left without leadership. Kaeya and Amber are out of the question. Tomorrow morning, I will bring Lisa and join you in the operation."

Nolan nodded in agreement. With the addition of the Acting Grand Master, Jean and Lisa, even with the absence of Kaeya and Amber, and with Venti, dealing with the Stormterror shouldn't be a major issue.

At six o'clock in the morning, the "Angel's Share" Tavern.

The sky was just beginning to lighten, and usually, few people would come to drink at this time, but surprisingly, it was quite lively today.

"Although Master Diluc's information network has identified the general area, to accurately locate the 'Tears of the Dragon,' we need someone who can sense them. Can any of you do it?" Venti asked, rubbing his chin, addressing the group.

"For me, observing the flow of general elemental energy is quite simple, but it's difficult to sense the concentrated wind elemental crystals unless they're relatively close," Lisa, clad in purple robes and wearing a pointed witch's hat, replied.

She seemed a bit listless, yawning and covering her mouth with her hand, revealing a tired look from lack of sleep.

"Hehe, Traveler has Elemental Sight, so she should be able to do it," Paimon floated next to Lumine, hands behind her back, smiling.

"I think... I should be able to do it too," Nolan revealed his golden Eye of Judgement ability. Many people had seen this ability before, so there was nothing to hide.

"In that case, we can split into two teams to search at the same time," Jean said, one hand crossed over her chest, the other supporting her fair chin.

But they were still one person short. It seemed they would have to choose two from among them for now.

"You should be able to do it too," Diluc looked at the boy in green.

In fact, Venti's true identity wasn't hard to guess. After all, knowing the secrets about the Stormterror, and claiming to be able to summon it with the sounds of the Holy Lyre, how could such an individual be an ordinary poet?

The only one who could connect all these things was the Anemo Archon, Barbatos.

"Oh, looks like you've figured it out. Since that's the case, I can't hide it anymore. Actually, I am the one and only Barbatos that you've been thinking of. How about that, surprised and unexpected, right?" Venti's face showed some surprise, then he arrogantly lifted his chin, hands on his hips.

"..."

Diluc's eye twitched. He must have guessed wrong. How could such an awkward fellow be the Anemo Archon?

"Wow, it really is unexpected~"

Lisa, who wasn't very familiar with Venti, truly hadn't noticed. Jean had suspected before, but hadn't come to a conclusion yet.

"Although he's the Anemo Archon, he seems like a friendly guy. Let's just treat him normally," Paimon joked, worried that everyone might feel awkward after learning Venti's identity, "Master Diluc, you mustn't let him off the hook for the drinks just because he's a god!"

"Oh, little Paimon, how could you think that of me?" Venti looked genuinely hurt.

"Of course not," Diluc said calmly.

Regardless.

Venti revealing his identity didn't change the fact that he was just an awkward poet.

But the Anemo Archon should be able to sense the location of the Anemo Crystal, so the last "Stormterror's Tears" can be left to him to find.

To prevent falling into an ambush by the Abyss Order, everyone paired up as they did when they went to the temple last time.

Lisa and Nolan had teamed up before, so they volunteered to team up again. Jean followed Lumine and Paimon, while Master Diluc and Venti formed another team.

They finally agreed that after finding the "Stormterror's Tears," they would rendezvous at the Starsnatch Cliff.

"Miss Lisa, can't we use spatial teleportation like we did last time?" They had been walking for a while now, and Nolan asked the lazy lady next to him with a hint of confusion.

"Oh, little adventurer, using spatial teleportation magic requires knowing the specific coordinates, otherwise, you might end up randomly teleporting and sending yourself straight into the Abyss," Lisa, swinging her legs wrapped in lace stockings, gently pursed her soft lips and said.

"Oh, is that so?" Nolan's face showed some surprise.

Then, as if he had remembered something, he took out another Delusion from the Pyro Elemental Delusion he wore.

This was the Electro Elemental Delusion taken from the Electro Cicin Mage.

"Miss Lisa, can you please help me modify this one too? With two elemental delusion, can I use two types of elements at once?"

Nolan asked with some anticipation. Could it be that he could trigger reactions on his own in the future?

He himself doubted whether such a thing could really be done so easily.

"Well, little adventurer, your idea is not bad, but..."

Lisa's face showed a pensive expression, then she flicked the chestnut-colored ends of her hair by her ear and, with her fair ears revealed from behind the strands of hair, looked ahead and said:

"Oh, this is the tribe of the hilichurl of the Black Sun Clan. Let's get hold of the 'Stormterror's Tears' from this location first, and then I'll tell you more details."

Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Purple Turns Black

Following the main road through the Windsrise Valley leads to the Dadaupa Gorge, where there are three large Hilichurl tribes, and the Black Sun Clan aka Eclipse Tribe is one of them.

The other two were the Meaty Tribe in the north and the Sleeper Tribe in the south.

The Black Sun Tribe was located in the east of the canyon, and it was near this tribe that Diluc's underground intelligence network had found traces of the Stormterror's presence.

However, they didn't find any red crystals at that location, so it's highly likely that the Hilichurls of the Black Sun Clan took them.

After Nolan and Lisa rushed over and found nothing, Nolan activated his "Golden Eye of Judgment" to follow the traces of the wind element all the way here.

Compared to the usual Hillchurl camps, the Black Day clan's settlement appeared much larger.

Outside, there was a crude wooden fence encircling it, and in every corner inside, there was a watchtower with a Hilichurl holding a crossbow, ready to shoot at any moment.

Such high discipline was somewhat incredible for the Hilichurl race; it was clear that the influence of the Abyss Order was behind it.

"Miss Lisa, let me sneak in first and scout things out."

After all, this was reality, not a game. Even though Lisa was likely to prevent any accidents, it wouldn't be good if he got hurt. It was better to be cautious, even if he was proficient in stealth.

Lisa, with her fair arms crossed beneath the snowy fabric covering her chest, shook her head slightly. "I sense a formidable opponent inside for you. There's a high chance you'll be detected if you sneak in. If anything were to happen to you, I'd be really upset, you know~"

"Oh, so are you going to take action, Miss Lisa?" Nolan paused for a moment, then furrowed his brows slightly.

Since Lisa said there was an opponent inside that he couldn't handle, it was unlikely to be false. His stealth was just optical camouflage, after all, and it wouldn't make much difference against a powerful foe.

"I guess that's the only way. Little adventurer, make some noise to attract it out," Lisa said, her purple skirt swaying slightly in the wind as she tapped her fair chin with her index finger.

"Alright, no problem." Nolan nodded in response.

The camp was teeming with monsters, and it was their territory. Rushing in recklessly might result in being quickly surrounded, whereas outside, they didn't have the geographical advantage.

It was simple to lure them out: just launch an attack.

It was a good opportunity to practice attaching fire elemental energy to arrows.

Nolan took out the Adventurer's Hunting Bow from the Delusion, and an armor-piercing arrow appeared on the drawn bowstring with the slightest movement of his thoughts.

In no time at all, the elemental energy released from the Delusion gathered onto the arrowhead, and a crimson glow emanated from it.

The entire process took about three seconds, much slower than Amber or Fischl, mainly because he wasn't yet proficient.

Nolan hid behind a tree, using the dense foliage and sturdy trunk to shield himself. He aimed at the Hilichurl holding a bow on the watchtower.

As he released his hand, the red elemental arrow pierced the Hilichurl's head without leaving a trace, even turning its bone mask slightly charred.

[Defeat A Powerful Enemy, Obtained 201 Adventure EXP.]

"Ya!"

Another Hilichurl on a watchtower noticed the anomaly and immediately sounded the alarm. Its gaze searched left and right, but for a moment, it didn't spot where the arrow had come from.

After all, Nolan's arrows had the extraordinary characteristic of being shadowless and silent.

During the few seconds the Hilichurl was dazed, Nolan's second arrow, already imbued with fire elemental energy, was shot.

[Defeat A Powerful Enemy, Obtained 232 Adventure EXP.]

As the two Hilichurls on the watchtowers fell, roars of anger erupted from the Black Sun Clan's camp.

A group of Hilichurl mobs rushed out of the camp, some carrying wooden shields, others wielding axes, and a few holding large explosive barrels made from Slime.

[Level: 35],[Level: 41]...

A total of nine large-bodied Hilichurl thugs appeared, with the lowest level being above level 35. It's no wonder they were able to stand tall in the Dadaupa Gorge for so long as one of the Hilichurl tribes.

Indeed, they had quite impressive overall strength.

If Nolan had come alone, he definitely wouldn't dare to provoke them and would have stayed far away.

At this moment, they were also observing where the enemy was. Two Hilichurls with bows had reappeared on the empty watchtowers.

Not long after,

Hilichurl shamans and charging Hilichurl Fighters with torches emerged, pouring out in waves, a dense mass that seemed to darken the surroundings.

Lisa, standing behind Nolan, took two steps forward in her black high heels. The deep purple gemstone dangling from her anklet swayed slightly on her feet wrapped in black stockings as she walked.

She patted Nolan's shoulder and looked towards the group of Hilichurls in the distance, saying, "Oh, little adventurer, look, it's those inhuman beings from the Abyss Order."

"Ice Abyss Mages."

Nolan caught a faint whiff of a comforting and uniquely feminine scent, and his gaze fell on the Ice Abyss Mage who emerged at the back of the group of Hilichurls, surprisingly at level 56.

If he hadn't been discovered when he sneaked in earlier, he might have been turned into an ice sculpture in an instant.

"There they are!"

The Ice Abyss Mage was indeed more formidable than the Hilichurls. It sensed the flow of elemental energy nearby and barely detected the faint traces of fire elemental energy left in the air.

"YA!"

Receiving the instructions from the Ice Mage, the Hilichurl people all rushed towards Nolan and their side.

Their gazes were like a black tide, surging forward, and an overwhelming sense of fear rose in Nolan's heart.

Damn! Who could withstand this momentum?

Nolan's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling an impulse to climb up a tree immediately. But thankfully, the presence of Lisa beside him eased his mind a little.

Manipulating the Delusion, he released the fire element and condensed it into a fireball in his hand, then threw it over to the wooden shield of the shield-wielding Hilichurl guard.

Suddenly, the wooden shield was ignited, and the two Hilichurl thugs in the front hurriedly stopped to pat out the flames.

One of the Hilichurl thugs wielding an axe in the back jumped into the air and descended towards Nolan and his group like a falling meteor.

"Hehe, what a terrifying momentum."

Lisa raised her palm covered by black gloves gently, and in the next moment, countless lightning elements gathered frantically from the surroundings into her palm, dyeing the sky purple.

One of the lightning bolts formed by the lightning elements was guided by the iron axe and struck the falling Hilichurl thug.

Visibly, it paused in mid-air for a moment, the scorching pain and paralysis causing it to struggle in various futile attempts to alleviate the pain, but to no avail.

It didn't take long.

Not long after, all the lightning elements were compressed into a sphere the size of a thumb in Lisa's palm. The dense purple naturally turned black, like a singularity in the universe.

"Bang!" The Hilichurl, charred by electricity, crashed down.

[Your Teammate Defeated A Powerful Enemy, Obtained 540 Adventure EXP.]

The title of Honorable Knight took effect, and Nolan gained 30% of the Adventure EXP, while the group of Hilichurls in front of them were also scared stiff, their gazes filled with fear as they stared at the "singularity" of lightning elements in Lisa's palm.

Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Precious Treasure Chest Containing Ore

The condensed purple-black sphere of lightning elements in Lisa's hand bore a resemblance to the gemstones hanging from her anklet.

Watching the monsters intimidated by her power, Lisa gently pushed the purple-black sphere towards them.

Like fluttering butterflies, the concentrated sphere of lightning elements became increasingly unstable as it flew, jumping up and down in a manner that seemed ready to explode at any moment.

The monsters sensed an unprecedented crisis and began to retreat uncontrollably as they watched the slowly drifting purple-black sphere.

Within a few seconds, they sprinted and frantically ran towards the camp.

However, once the purple-black sphere had traveled far enough, it suddenly accelerated like a burst of light, piercing through the group of monsters like an arrow.

"Sizzle!"

The surface of the sphere emitted flashes of purple-black lightning, then suddenly erupted, consuming and annihilating everything around it like a black hole suddenly expanding.

After a few seconds, there were no monsters left in front, not even a trace on the ground, which was now charred.

[Your Teammate Defeated Powerful Enemies *26, Obtained 4235 Adventure EXP.]

There were actually more than twenty large Mitachurls, normal Hilichurls, Samachurls, and whatnot, all adding up to more than four thousand Adventure EXP for just one-third of them.

If he had personally defeated them all, it would have tripled, totaling over ten thousand! Nolan couldn't help but feel oddly complicated.

"Oh my~ Seems like I went a bit overboard."

Lisa folded her arms across her chest, gently lifting her snow-white skin with ample curvature, while her hand brushed against the chestnut-colored hair hanging down on her left side as she chuckled.

Indeed, she had gone a bit overboard. Now there wasn't even any loot dropping, let alone ground left. It's a pity.

Facing such a terrifying scene, the other Hilichurls in the Black Sun Clan's camp were so scared that their legs went weak. Even the commands of the Ice Abyss Mage were useless, and they fled directly, abandoning their weapons and armor!

"Such powerful thunder elemental power, who the hell are you people!"

The Ice Abyss Mage's black-masked face couldn't be seen, but its synthesized voice was very agitated.

It couldn't understand how it had messed with such a powerful human when it was staying here peacefully!

Could it be related to His Highness the Prince's plan to control the Wind Demon Dragon?

It was the trainer officer resident in the Hilichurls camp in charge of training them, and it had only heard a little about the Wind Dragon's plan, but it was not directly involved.

Other than this matter, the Ice Mage couldn't think of any other reason that would cause someone to dare to mess with them.

After all, most of the ordinary Hilichurls in the Black Sun Clan were not weaker than any human soldiers, not to mention those large-bodied Mitachurls. Moreover, it was also a highly regarded elite figure in the Abyss Order.

With such a terrifying lineup, whoever dared to come would be unlucky.

And at this moment, it could sense that the human in front of it might be able to kill it in an instant!

How absurd!

Thinking of this, the Ice Abyss Mage already had the intention to escape. However, to prevent these two humans from detecting its intentions, it decided to first use magic to disrupt them.

"Kekeke, foolish humans, meet your demise!

"Special Attack: Frostdrift Offering!"

With the elemental shield activated, the Ice Abyss Mage chuckled maliciously, floating in mid-air as it raised its staff and cast a spell.

An ice-white magic array appeared above Nolan's head, quickly guiding the ice element to condense into a huge block of ice before it smashed down under the effect of gravity.

Lisa lifted her fair face and glanced at the ice block, taking two steps back with her legs slightly apart, clad in black lace stockings.

Nolan naturally evaded easily.

"Boom!"

The huge ice block, despite being buffered by grass and soil on the ground, did not shatter but cracked into several pieces.

Some of the smaller fragments flew onto Lisa's feet in high heels, and the icy sensation transmitted through her stockings made her furrow her brows slightly. The fine ice debris that slipped off her feet left a few dark watermarks on her black stockings.

When Nolan turned his head to look at the Abyss Mage, he found it had disappeared without a trace.

"Oh my, what a cunning fellow."

Lisa smiled unconcernedly. This kind of Abyss Mage whose strength was quite good could still quickly run away quite far using spatial teleportation magic, and it would take a bit of time to catch up with it.

The most important thing now is to get the "Stormterror's Tear" and solve the problem of the Storm Dragon as soon as possible.

"To think it ran away just like that, without any fighting spirit."

Nolan quipped, feeling somewhat regretful for missing out on a lot of Adventure EXP.

"Let's go, we'll go find that crystal tear."

Lisa ruffled the tresses of her hair on the side of her ear and walked over towards the Hilichurl's camp, while Nolan led the way, following the remaining traces of wind elements.

There were no surprises next, as they found a precious treasure chest in a simple wooden hut in the Hilichurl's camp.

Unfortunately, upon opening it, they found that the valuable items inside had already been taken.

It was now obviously being used as a storage box, filled with Iron ore, Amethyst Lump, Crystal ore, and the like.

And that red crystal seemed to be treated as ore as well, placed among them.

Since Lumine and Venti were not here, Nolan and Lisa had to avoid touching it to prevent injury, so they could only store the entire treasure chest into Lisa's Vision.

His Delusion could only bear a weight of ten kilograms, so it couldn't fit a chest filled with ores that probably weighed over a hundred pounds.

Lisa's Vision, on the other hand, had no such issues, as the weight it could bear increased with the strength of its holder.

According to what Nolan had learned on a regular basis, he roughly judged that for every level up, the Vision holder would increase its load by about a kilogram.

"Alright, little adventurer let's quickly go and meet up with everyone."

Lisa said with a slight smile on her face.

Walking on the way to the Starsnatch Cliff, Nolan once again brought up the question about whether it was possible to modify the Thunder Elemental Delusion.

"..Though it will cost me a lot of energy, as long as there are enough materials, the modification isn't that difficult.

"But even if you have Delusions with different elemental powers, it's very difficult to control them simultaneously to release elemental powers. You can only use them one at a time.

"Otherwise, if two different elemental powers accidentally collide, it could lead to some kind of elemental reaction, which could very well injure you."

Lisa explained as she twirled the strands of hair falling on her cheek with her fingers.

"I see."

Nolan nodded. He seemed to recall from the game storyline that Lumine and the Fatui Harbingers "Childe" in the battle cutscene, she used both wind and rock elemental forces at the same time.

Nolan couldn't do that, probably because he fundamentally lacked the true mastery of elemental powers like her.

The elemental power stored in the Delusion, he could only choose to "pour" it out or "not pour" it out, just like water in a kettle.

Of course, even so, if he had two Delusions with different elements, he could still create elemental reactions on his own, which would be quite useful.

The slit on the side of Lisa's purple dress revealed black silk shorts, and her snow-white thighs were slightly exposed between the knee-high stockings and the shorts. She parted her lips and smiled, saying:

"If you want to modify this Thunder Elemental Delusion, just keep an eye out for high-quality thunder elemental materials during your adventures, and you'll also need materials with the property of storing elemental power, otherwise, it won't be possible to modify it."

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Purification

"...High-quality thunder elemental materials with the property of storing elemental power? Hmm, alright."

Nolan nodded in understanding.

This kind of material didn't seem to be something that could be found overnight, and it really depended on luck.

He could only heed Lisa's advice and keep an eye out for them during his adventures.

...

Starsnatch Cliff stood high, allowing sounds to carry further with the wind, which was why Venti chose to summon the Stormterror here.

After all, the prerequisite for summoning also had to be for people to receive the signal of someone summoning it.

Miss Lisa had been here before, so she teleported directly using magic, saving herself the trouble of traveling or running.

At Starsnatch Cliff,

Lumine, Paimon, and Acting Grand Master Jean had been waiting here for quite some time. When they saw Nolan and the others, Paimon approached with a smug expression and said:

"Hehe, it seems like you're still a bit slower than us."

"If I remember correctly, this place is not far above the Thousand Winds Temple, you guys came over on the way, isn't it normal to be a bit faster."

Nolan said with a smile.

"Hehe." Paimon didn't feel embarrassed and stuck out her tongue.

"Lisa, is everything gone smoothly?" Grand Master Jean, with her legs clad in tight white pants, also walked over, her lips slightly parted.

"Pretty much, encountered some minor troubles, but it's all taken care of." Lisa's fair arm crossed her chest as she lightly tapped her head.

"In that case, it's just the bard and Master Diluc missing," Paimon clapped her hands excitedly, floating next to Lumine.

"Oh, I think I hear someone calling for me~" A clear young voice came from below the mountain.

Everyone looked over and saw Diluc draped in a black coat and his companion, Venti, dressed in green, slowly making their way up.

"Aren't you the Anemo Archon? How come you're slower than Nolan and the others?" Paimon asked curiously.

"We've already flown back all the way, how could we be slow? The result was probably due to the fact that Miss Lisa's spatial teleportation magic is more powerful~"

Venti said with a smile on his face.

"Lord Barbatos really knows how to talk~" Lisa chuckled, covering her mouth with her gloved right hand.

"Hehe, alright, bring out the Dvalin' tears you've collected, we still have to save poor Dvalin."

Paimon said urgently with her hands behind her back.

"Okay." Nolan nodded, then turned to the elegant lady beside him. "Miss Lisa, please bring out that treasure chest."

"Hehe~ Got it."

Lisa's purple Vision, barely perceptible against her snow-white chest, flashed slightly. A treasure chest appeared at her feet, adorned with black high-heeled shoes.

"Wow! It's a precious treasure chest!" Paimon's eyes, which looked like starry skies, were literally about to burst into stars.

"It would be great if there really was a treasure chest."

Nolan lifted the lid of the treasure chest, and the red crystal lying on a pile of still unrefined ores were displayed in front of everyone.

"Pfft, why is it all just stones?" Lumine, with white petals adorning her golden hair, couldn't help but laugh.

"Perhaps that's just the irony of life." Nolan sighed briefly, then turned to her. "Lumine, purify it and then repair the Holy Lyre."

"Mmm."

The wind on Starsnatch Cliff was quite strong. The hem of Lumine's skirt was gently blown up, and the surrounding light seemed to dim in the presence of her snow-white thighs revealed above her knee-high boots.

She took the red crystal from the chest.

Not a moment passed,

The gloomy and impure energy on the crystal was "evaporated" as far as the eye could see, and turned into a clear "Stormterror's Tear".

"It feels magical no matter how many times I see it. With this power, you, traveler, will surely shine in Teyvat in the future!"

Venti was quite emotional, after all, what polluted Dvalin was an abyssal power that even he, a god, found troublesome.

"Shining in Teyvat is all well and good, but I just hope to find my brother."

After purifying the "Tear of the Storm Dragon," Lumine gestured to Venti to hand over the collected red crystal.

As for the one she and Grand Master Jean had gotten in the Thousand Winds Temple, it had already been purified.

Venti handed the red crystal to Lumine, who quickly completed the purification. She then took out the Holy Lyre. As the "Tear of the Storm Dragon" dripped onto it, the Holy Lyre was once again filled with pure and concentrated wind elements.

"It feels like this is how it was meant to be." Jean looked at the rejuvenated Holy Lyre with a sense of youthful vigor.

Diluc, with his red hair draped in a black coat, nodded. "So, can we summon the Stormterror now?"

"Of course, when Dvalin hears this familiar and wonderful music, it will definitely appear," Venti said with a smile.

"Hehe, alright, I can't wait," Paimon said, clenching his fists and wriggling in the air.

"The current Stormterror is probably on the brink of mental collapse due to the poisonous blood and the curse of the Abyss Mage. Dialogue may no longer be effective. When it appears, we need to find a way to control it and let Lumine purify it!"

Nolan gave everyone his advice based on the course of the game's plot and with reasonable speculation.

"Even in a weakened state, Dvalin has immense power. It will be difficult for us to control directly. If we forcibly intervene, it may harm it, leading to a rapid deterioration of its condition," Venti shrugged, looking dejected.

"Oh? Is there no other way?" Jean's shawl kept swaying in the mountain wind, her snow-white back as well as her round and soft shoulders were hidden in it.

Venti pondered for a moment, then looked at the golden-haired girl in a backless white dress. "There is a way, but it involves a certain level of risk for the Traveler."

"Ah, is the Traveler in danger? Maybe we should reconsider," Paimon quickly waved his hands, sounding worried.

Lumine stood with her hands on her hips, staring at the grass on the ground, shifting her gaze from left to right. After a moment of thought, she said, "I don't want to witness 'separation' or even 'loss' again. This opportunity to save Dvalin is rare. I'm willing to give it a try."

"Aww, such a brave little cutie. Even I'm touched," Lisa smiled on her fair face, her legs wrapped in knee-high black lace stockings, turning her body to look at the green-clad youth.

"So what is Lord Barbatos's plan?" she asked.

"Very simple. When Dvalin is summoned later, Lumine will hide first. Once it appears, she'll seize the opportunity to climb onto its back and quickly attack the two venomous thorns there, purifying them!" Venti explained.

After everyone heard this, they all felt that it was indeed a simple yet dangerous plan. The Stormterror was able to control the wind element, so trying to counterattack Lumine that climbed onto its back was simply too easy.

It would also take some time to purify the poisonous thorns, during which time they would have to restrain the Stormterror in order to prevent her from being harmed.

Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Summoning the Stormterror

"Can you guarantee the Lumine's safety?" Nolan asked after some thought.

There was no such dangerous operation as forcibly climbing onto the back of the Stormterror in the game's plot.

"Don't worry, I'll help block Dvalin's attack," Venti replied with a smile, holding the Holy Lyre in his hand.

"In that case, let's begin the summoning."

The breeze ruffled her blonde hair, Lumine's fair ears faintly visible, as she said with a light nod of her head indicating that there was no problem.

"Mmm."

Venti walked to the top corner of the Starsnatch Cliff's near the outermost edge of the mountain, and the Holy Lyre filled with pure wind elements emitted a soothing and crisp musical sound as he played.

It wasn't long before a dragon roar came from afar, and the blue-colored figure swept past the trees below the Starsnatch Cliff, the terrifying pressure causing the little birds to panic and flee in all directions.

Beasts and monsters underground also couldn't help but scramble.

"It's here." Nolan once again caught sight of the dreamlike and resplendent creature. "It might soar up from below the cliff later. I feel like this is the chance to climb onto its back."

"It makes sense. This will also have a surprise effect. With my 'Wind' blessing, you should be able to climb up smoothly. Traveler, be ready," Venti nodded first, then turned to Lumine.

"This time, Dvalin, I will definitely save you. Just endure a little longer, please." Wendy looked affectionately at the approaching blue figure.

"Count me in too. I'll buy you time up there," Diluc said calmly, crossing his arms.

"Alright, thank you."

Lumine nodded in gratitude, then fixed her gaze on the rapidly approaching blue figure from below the cliff.

Her white knee-high boots outlined her knees clearly, and as her body slightly lowered its center of gravity, she exerted force in her calves, leaping forward towards the Stormterror's head.

As Dvalin watched the small bug approaching, it roared angrily, opening its huge mouth to swallow the insect while shouting, "Barbatos, have you indeed allied with humans to hunt me down?"

"No, Dvalin, we just want to help you," Venti used the wind element to push Lumine aside, narrowly avoiding the Stormterror's bite.

Taking advantage of the Stormterror's distraction, Lumine used its head as a foothold and slid down onto its back.

At the same time, Diluc also dryly jumped towards the back of the Stormterror, and a gust of wind kicked up the huge cyan-colored figure to appear completely in front of the crowd.

"Barbatos!"

Dvalin raised its head and roared angrily into the sky.

At this moment, it seemed to feel betrayal once again. When it first awakened, Mondstadt's people didn't recognize it, and now, its former friends actually allied with others to hunt it down!

How could it not be angry?

This was betrayal! Betrayal! Betrayal!

Dvalin's enormous dragon eyes slowly turned crimson as the corruption of its poisonous blood deepened.

"All of you will be torn apart in the storm!"

Instantly, the sky darkened as black clouds gathered, accompanied by roaring winds and torrential rain. Eventually, they formed a massive tornado, spiraling upward towards the Starsnatch Cliff.

"Oh, my~ looks like we're going to get wet." Lisa pressed down her pointed witch hat, a faint smile playing on her fair face.

The front hem of her dress robe slid inward with the wind, revealing her legs clad in knee-high black stockings. As the skirt tails fluttered dramatically, the black lace shorts encasing her soft buttocks were also partially exposed.

The Acting Grand Master Jean raised her arm to shield her eyes. She saw Stormterror condensing huge wind projectiles around itself, aiming them at the two on its back.

Then, a blaze-wrapped sword light shattered the wind projectiles.

But soon, the next wave of attacks followed.

"kekeke, that's right that's it, your Anemo Archon has betrayed you, let your anger tear him apart!"

Suddenly two Abyss mages appeared beside the Stormterror, one on the left and one on the right, water-blue and ice-white, and one of them said in an enticing tone of voice to Dvalin.

The already irrational Stormterror became even more enraged upon hearing the Abyss Mages' words!

"The Abyss Order has indeed appeared."

Nolan activated his golden Eye of Judgment, focusing on them. One was Level 63, and the other was Level 65, stronger than the Cryo Abyss Mages encountered in the Black Sun Clan.

Wait, Level 65?

He remembered Fischl being Level 37, and he himself was Level 27. Adding the two together would result in a maximum strength of Level 64...

But if that's the case, how could he see Level 65?

First of all, it certainly wasn't a case of hallucination.

Thinking like this, the most likely possibility was that Fischl had recently become stronger, so the effect of the ability gained from her "Eye of Judgment" had also increased.

"Hmph, isn't this something we've long anticipated?" Lisa pursed her lips and said.

"Lisa, let's deal with the Abyss Order. We can't let them interfere with the Traveler's purification operation."

Jean drew a single-handed sword with a guard, seemingly a standard weapon of the Favonius series, a four-star Favonius Sword.

She wrapped invisible wind power around the sword, and for a moment it was like holding a cyan-colored storm.

Then, the storm began to spread outwards, blocking the violent winds and rain originating from Stormterror. Lisa lowered her hand from her hat, and the catalyst, Favonius Codex, appeared beside her, its pages flipping automatically.

"Let's see how these lightning bolts feel, shall we?" Lisa smiled gently, extending her right hand towards the two Abyss Mages in the sky. Several purple magic circles unfolded beside her palm.

Sizzling electric currents flickered, followed by thunderstorms shooting upwards, hitting the elemental shields of the Abyss Mages.

"Such troublesome humans!"

The two Abyss Mages felt their elemental shields rapidly depleting and quickly teleported out of the range of the thunderstorm.

When they reappeared next to Stormterror, a cyan wind blade, condensed from wind elements, swiftly sliced through the Ice Abyss Mage's shield.

"Boom!"

The ice elements on the shield instantly dispersed, depleting a large portion of it and freezing the nearby Water Abyss Mage in the process.

"Impressive, as expected of the Acting Grand Master!"

Nolan hadn't expected the Acting Grand Master Jean to compress wind elements onto her blade and unleash a wind blade. It was quite impressive.

"Hehe, adventurer buddy, the Abyss Order is in your hands, I have to go help the Traveler and stopped by to have a good heart-to-heart talk with a friend I haven't seen in a long time."

Venti said with a smile as cyan-colored wind elements converged around him, slowly lifting him off the ground and flying towards Stormterror.

"Alright, stay safe."

Nolan drew his Adventurer's Hunting Bow, fire elements condensing on the arrow tip as he aimed at the Ice Abyss Mage.

When it came to depleting ice elemental shields, fire elements were very effective.

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Clearing the Clouds and Revealing the Sun

A faint flame disregarded the pouring rain and raging wind, darting through the air and finally crashing into the elemental shield of the Ice Abyss Mage.

The melting reaction between the two elements caused the elemental power in it to be drastically depleted.

However, it was somewhat regrettable that, since this Abyss Mage was stronger than any Nolan had encountered before, the elemental shield containing ice elements was quite robust.

Therefore, Nolan's arrow with the fire element attached to it did not have much effect on it.

At this moment, the previously frozen Hydro Abyss Mage, now freed from its icy prison, spoke with a hint of anger:

"You foolish humans, there will be no mercy for you!"

"Special Attack - Bubbling Offering!"

Holding a blue ornate staff in its hand, it waved it towards the front, generating hundreds of transparent water bubbles, slowly but irresistibly surging forward like well-organized soldiers.

"Oh my, such pretty bubbles, hehe."

Lisa lifted her fingertips and flickered with a subtle thunder light, gently pointing forward, the thunder light was like a horizontal lightning bolt shooting out.

In the air, the lightning kept branching out and intruding into the bubble formation. One, two, three... every bubble hit by the electric current instantly burst, turning into water droplets that scattered onto the grassy ground.

Jean closed her eyes, and the hurricane swirling around the Favonius Sword intensified.

Perhaps due to the fact that he was not far away from her, Nolan was able to feel a strong sense of oppression, as if it were gathering strength.

At this moment, he didn't stop his actions; the second arrow, imbued with fire elements, was shot towards the Ice Abyss Mage.

With the extraordinary characteristics of archery, the incredibly fast arrows basically had no possibility of being dodged, unless one predicted the point of impact in advance.

For the Abyss Mage, who wasn't particularly skilled in physical abilities, dodging after the arrow was shot seemed quite challenging.

While the Ice Abyss Mage was surprised that it was once again hit by a not-so-strong human in the district,

Flames erupted before its eyes, but were perfectly blocked by the shield, only slightly obstructing its vision.

It was about to mock the human when,

at that moment, a massive wind blade, seemingly distorting space, slashed at the ice elemental shield, still lingering with the fire elements from the arrow.

A large amount of wind elements enveloped the flames, instantly spreading and engulfing the Ice Abyss Mage in a red-hot tornado. As it felt the elemental shield rapidly depleting its ice elements,

The Ice Abyss Mage cried out in some despair, "No, this can't be! Just a mere hum—"

Before it could finish saying "human," the elemental shield of the ice Abyss Mage suddenly shattered, overwhelmed by the backlash of magic, and as it was knocked unconscious, the spreading flames also consumed it.

[Your Teammate Defeated A Powerful Enemy, Obtained 1042 Adventure EXP.]

Watching the Acting Grand Master, who had just withdrawn her sword strike, Nolan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, it was worthy of being an existence whose strength was also a question mark in his eyes, so her strength was undoubtedly high, and her level probably wasn't low either.

"W-what..." The other Hydro Abyss Mage paused for a moment, seemingly not fully grasping what had just happened.

In such a short time, a comrade who was slightly stronger than it suddenly disappeared?!

"Barbatos!"

At this moment, the Stormterror high in the sky once again let out a roaring sound, its huge dragon's mouth facing the sky as countless points of light coalesced towards it.

With Nolan's experience, it felt like it was preparing for some big move.

Could it be the one that destroys even the platform it's standing on in the game's story? Uh, would it even lose the entire Starsnatch Cliff if it used it here?

"Waaaah! No, we need to run!" Seeing this situation, the Hydro Abyss Mage hurriedly prepared to use its skill to escape.

"Hehe~ it's not that simple."

Miss Lisa, wearing her purple pointed witch hat, smirked, and with a slight grip of her fingers wrapped in black gloves, the lightning that had previously branched off to clear the water bubbles unconsciously spread towards the Hydro Abyss Mage.

Then, it instantly converged and attached to the water elemental shield, with electric currents constantly flashing and consuming the water elements on the surface of the shield.

In a continuous state of being hit, it was difficult for the water Abyss Mage to use skills to escape under interference. In just a few seconds, the shield shattered, and the lightning engulfed it, from below, only a mass of purple plasma could be seen.

[Your Teammate Defeated A Powerful Enemy, Obtained 1025 Adventure EXP.]

In such a situation, without any surprises, there would be nothing left but ashes.

"Traveler, hurry up! If Dvalin unleashes this move, it'll be terrible!" Venti stood on the dragon's back and barely dispersed the wind bullets that were attacking towards Lumine.

"Almost there, don't rush!"

Behind him,

Lumine stood with her legs apart, her weight shifted downward, her fair palms overlapping to form a vortex of wind, continuously attacking the giant poison spikes in front of her.

The purification power she carried also played a role; one could see the poison spikes exuding some dark red filth that dissipated.

"Break already!"

Under the strain, sweat dripped from Lumine's forehead, sliding down her brow and nose, finally falling onto her soft lips, gradually seeping in through the crevices.

It feels a bit salty.

She exerted all her strength in the attack. Just now, she successfully purified one poison spike, and now this was the last one.

As long as she could purify it successfully, Stormterror would return to normal!

So, hurry up! Faster!

Although feeling the pain in its back, Stormterror's rationality seemed to be gradually clearing. The attack it was about to release hesitated slightly.

But due to not being fully awake, it instinctively gathered a super-sized wind bomb beside it and shot it towards the few bugs crawling on its back, causing it immense pain.

Diluc held his sword with both hands, dense flames gathering on the blade. The calm pupils of his eyes reflected the incoming green wind bomb.

"Here—Dawn!"

He shouted loudly, swinging forward like a phoenix, the bird of fire colliding with it.

"Bang!"

Like comets colliding, fierce winds and flames suddenly spread, rustling the clothes of the people on the dragon's back.

At the same time, a sound like shattered glass came from the poison spike. In Lumine's surprised gaze, it finally cracked open bit by bit. A few seconds later, like a cup smashing to the ground, it burst into pieces with a bang.

"Phew~ finally done."

Lumine squatted down slightly, breathing heavily.

Purifying the poison spike was not easy, especially with Stormterror vigorously twisting its body in an attempt to shake them off.

The moment the poison spike was purified, the irrational frenzy in Stormterror's mind vanished instantly, replaced by a feeling of clarity.

It dissipated all the energy it had accumulated in its mouth, dispersing the storm it had maintained all this time.

As a result, the gathered dark clouds also faded, a ray of golden sunlight piercing through the clouds and shining on everyone. Unconsciously, it was already dusk.

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Alright, Let's Go on a Great Adventure!

"Oh my, it looks like our little cutie succeeded~"

The golden evening sun caressed Lisa's legs clad in knee-high black lace stockings. She tilted her face slightly upwards, her emerald-like pupils gazing into the distant sky where a small black dot was slowly enlarging.

When Stormterror's enormous cyan-blue body landed on the Starsnatch Cliff, the powerful airflow it brought along blew Nolan's hair back.

Indeed, it was quite big and beautiful.

Nolan couldn't help but feel a bit sentimental. Unlike the attack on Mondstadt City, this time was a real up-close encounter with Stormterror.

"Hehe, it wasn't easy at all," Paimon finally let go of her worries about Lumine, a smile appearing on her face.

"Paimon, Nolan!"

Lumine, wearing a backless dress, stood on the dragon's head, a smile on her fair face as she waved her arms at everyone.

Then Dvalin tilted his body and also said to Nolan and the others, "Thank you all for saving me, please let me send you back."

"W-what, are you offering us a ride?" Paimon's eyes lit up, sounding somewhat incredulous.

Grand Master Jean and Lisa exchanged a glance, arms crossed, and nodded slightly.

Perhaps they confirmed that Stormterror really no longer harbored any hostility.

"Ahem... let's go then," Nolan said with a light cough, his fist pressed lightly against his lips.

Taking a ride on a dragon was something that everyone couldn't help but look forward to.

"What are we waiting for!" Paimon couldn't wait any longer and flew over.

After Nolan and the others boarded the dragon's back, they saw Diluc and Venti, who despite the intense battle, didn't have a speck of dirt on them.

Stormterror flapped its wings and took off, soaring vertically through the clouds.

"Wow, it's so high!"

Paimon, riding on the dragon's back, dared not float anymore. After all, she couldn't keep up with Stormterror's speed, and there was a good chance she would be left behind.

At this moment, standing on the blue dragon's back, she looked rather short and couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Hey, I saw that! What's with that look?" Paimon put her hands on her hips and glared at Nolan. "Do you want me to give you a nasty nickname too?"

"Uh, haha, that won't be necessary," Nolan chuckled awkwardly.

He couldn't imagine what strange nickname Paimon would come up with, so it was better not to provoke her.

"Hehe, I think it's great! How about giving him a nickname like 'Strange Adventurer' or something like that?" Lumine blinked her amber eyes, her soft lips slightly parting as she smiled.

"..."

So the two of you have come up with such distinctive names. Nolan couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.

"Dvalin, it's been a long time since we've flown in the sky like this," Venti said with some nostalgia as he sat on the dragon's head.

"I'm sorry for the trouble," Stormterror remained silent for a moment, remembering the chaos it caused to the citizens of Mondstadt by unleashing the storm.

"You were once the protector of everyone as the Dragon of the East Wind. And if it wasn't for the Abyss Order taking advantage of the situation, you wouldn't have become enraged, so you can't be blamed for all of it."

Venti's hand pressed on Dvalin's head, and the divine power that belonged solely to the Anemo Archon passed through.

"This is the power of the Anemo Archon's attendant, why?" Stormterror sounded somewhat surprised, continuing, "I won't be recognized by everyone anymore. There's no need for this."

"Even so, from now on, you'll still protect everyone, won't you? I hope you can fly with more ease," Venti laid back with his hands behind his head, smiling.

...

Mondstadt City, Knights of Favonius Headquarters.

Stormterror had set everyone down outside the city to avoid being misunderstood by the citizens as another attack on Mondstadt.

Diluc had already returned to the tavern, while Venti was catching up with Stormterror. Only Nolan, Lumine, and Paimon followed the Acting Grand Master and Lisa back to the Knights of Favonius.

Mainly because the Acting Grand Master said she wanted to reward them.

"Perhaps the citizens still have many doubts about Stormterror's attack. Tomorrow, I will represent the Knights of Favonius to clarify the misunderstanding to the citizens. Both of you, as honorary knights, have contributed a lot to this matter."

"Especially Lumine, without you, Mondstadt might have lost the Dragon of the East. Such achievements naturally deserve recognition from the Knights of Favonius. As for what it is... Well, I haven't thought about it yet. Come in first, everyone."

Jean's crisp voice echoed as she walked on the stone-paved ground in her white high-heeled boots.

As she spoke, just as she was about to open the door of the Knights of Favonius, there was a sudden "bang" as the door was violently pushed open, and a fiery figure rushed out shouting:

"Hooray, since Acting Grand Master isn't here, let's go on a great adventure!"

"Wait, Klee, there's still Stormterror causing trouble outside. It's too dangerous to go out and play."

Noelle, who was wearing a maid-style skirt and armor in the back, shouted somewhat anxiously.

"Hehe, it'll be fine. Even against a big dragon, Dodoco can protect Klee," the lively girl with the red hat said, completely unaware of the figure standing in front of the door.

She leaped forward, attempting to jump directly down the steps at the doorway, but just as she jumped, she suddenly felt her head bump into something soft.

"Huh?" Klee rubbed her head and shook it, then opened her eyes groggily. "Oh, it's Acting Grand Master Jean."

"Klee!" Jean sighed slightly as she held her forehead.

"I'm sorry, Acting Grand Master. Klee knows she's wrong. I didn't mean to bump into your belly," Klee said, poking her index finger downward.

"Oh, you're back, Acting Grand Master."

Noelle saw Klee being stopped by Jean and breathed a slight sigh of relief, patting her chest.

"Hi, Miss Noelle, long time no see," Nolan greeted Noelle with a smile.

"Oh, it's Mr. Adventurer."

Noelle looked at Nolan with some surprise as he returned with Acting Grand Master and the others.

Could it be that he was one of the two Honorable Knights that everyone was talking about who repelled the Stormterror?

"Little Noelle, the matter of the Stormterror has basically been resolved. If Little Klee wants to go play, accompany her for a while, but it's already late, so don't go out of the city," Lisa, with her fair arms wrapped around her chest bundled in snowy white fabric, smiled as she spoke.

"Yay! Thank you Lisa a.. Sis!"

Klee instinctively almost said "Auntie" but corrected herself just in time, narrowly avoiding a big blunder.

"Noelle-san let's go!" She grabbed Noelle's hand and ran off.

"Hey, Little Klee, slow down."

Lisa, wearing her purple pointed witch hat, pressed down the brim with her hand and sighed as she watched the two retreating figures.

"Am I getting too tired lately? My skin seems to be deteriorating. Why does Little Klee keep wanting to call me 'Auntie'? What do you think, little adventurer?" She looked at Nolan with her emerald-like pupils.

"Miss Lisa is worrying too much. Your skin looks very fair and soft," Nolan replied with great assurance.

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: A Complete Set of Four-Star Artifacts

In the Knights of Favonius' Acting Grand Master's office,

The golden sunlight streaming in through the window slowly faded, casting the room into darkness. Jean lit the candles on the candlestick, and the flames began to burn quietly.

The room appeared brighter this way.

Nolan, Lumine, and Paimon stood before her. Miss Lisa had already returned to the library next door.

"As honorary knights who saved Mondstadt from the crisis posed by Stormterror, the rewards given must not be too stingy. What do you need?"

Jean asked from her seat behind the desk. The documents that were previously spread out on the table had been reduced significantly, presumably dealt with through a night of work.

Grand Master Jean, work very hard. Nolan was slightly emotional.

"Grand Master Jean, are you saying we can ask for anything?" Paimon's face lit up with anticipation.

"Yes, after all, you are already honorary knights. As long as the request is reasonable, the Knights of Favonius can fulfill it."

Jean brushed her golden hair aside and nodded.

"Wow! That's great!" Paimon happily spun in the air, then turned to Lumine and urged, "Traveler, don't you want to find your brother? Now you can ask the Acting Grand Master for help!"

Lumine pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, Acting Grand Master, if possible, please have the Knights of Favonius keep an eye out for my brother's whereabouts."

"As an honorary knight, it's just a small matter like this. Of course, the Knights of Favonius will help. You can mention some of your more urgent needs."

Jean closed her eyes and slightly swayed her fair face from side to side, then looked back at Lumine and said.

"Acting Grand Master, you're so kind!" Paimon exclaimed with delight.

"Thank you," Lumine smiled gratefully, then after a moment of thought, she said, "I haven't decided what I need yet. How about you think of something, Paimon?"

"Hehe, when you don't know what you need, you can always ask for delicious food!" Paimon said with an experienced look, earning puzzled looks from the others.

"Um... by the way, I noticed that you all seem to lack Artifacts. How about letting the Knights of Favonius reward you with a set of Artifacts?"

Jean interlocked her fingers, leaning her elbows on the table, and rested her chin on her hands as she pondered for a few seconds.

"Artifacts? Are those relics found in treasure chests, or secret ruins? And what does it mean by a set?"

Lumine asked, her arms wrapped in white sleeves pressed against her abdomen, her face showing a puzzled expression.

"Yes," Jean nodded, then seeing Lumine's apparent lack of understanding, she explained, "Artifacts are most commonly found in treasure chests, secret ruins. It's appropriate to call them relics.

"They are generally divided into five types: Flower of Life, Plume of Death, Sands of Eon, Goblet of Eonothem, and Circlet of Logos.

"Each person can carry one of each type, meaning a person can carry up to five Artifacts. If some Artifacts are of different types but share a common essence, then they are considered a complete set. Collecting two or four pieces can provide additional abilities."

Jean briefly explained the knowledge of Artifacts to Lumine.

This includes two pieces of the same type of Artifact, which can cause interference and cannot be carried simultaneously. For example, newly acquired Artifacts need to be integrated with other Artifacts for reinforcement to gain greater power amplification, and so on.

"So, Acting Grand Master Jean, are you planning to reward us with a complete set of Artifacts?" Nolan asked somewhat surprised.

In the past, the Artifacts he obtained from treasure chests were either low in star rating or incomplete sets, and he didn't have much Mora to purchase additional Artifacts for reinforcement.

The initial state of Artifacts doesn't provide much enhancement, so Nolan hadn't focused on improving his strength through Artifacts.

After all, almost every adventurer on Teyvat knows that unless you're extremely wealthy, it's not wise to be fixated on Artifacts without sufficient Mora.

Enhancing one's strength with Artifacts is akin to using Mora to improve oneself.

Just think, a one-star Artifact costs around 20,000 to 30,000 Mora, a two-star Artifact is priced between 60,000 to 90,000, and a three-star Artifact costs between 150,000 to 200,000. Nolan had even found four-star Artifacts in treasure chests during adventures with Fischl in the past.

Although he had given them to Fischl because he took the primogems, it was said that a four-star Artifact was at least double the value of a three-star one.

And that's just for Artifacts in their initial state; the cost increases when they're reinforced.

For example, strengthening a three-star Artifact to its limit requires spending over 3 million Mora to purchase additional Artifacts to serve as reinforcement resources.

Moreover, strengthening also requires the consumption of Mora as a reinforcement medium, which costs about 50,000 Mora, although that's relatively small compared to other expenses.

Now that he was still a new adventurer, he didn't dare to hit any Artifact without enough Mora.

Furthermore, Artifacts themselves are quite rare and not readily available for purchase everywhere.

And now Acting Grand Master Jean was saying they would be rewarded with a set of Artifacts?! Nolan almost thought he had misheard.

"Yes, just a set of initial state four-star Artifacts. Considering your achievements, don't think the Knights of Favonius are being stingy," Jean nodded, a faint smile appearing on her fair face.

Five four-star Artifacts are worth around 4 to 5 million Mora each.

Furthermore, since they are a complete set, they come with additional set effects, which obviously increases their value even more.

Thinking about it this way, the reward given is already quite good.

"In that case, thank you, Acting Grand Master Jean," Lumine replied after understanding about the Artifacts.

She also felt that they were quite suitable for her. In the future, when she finds lower-star-rated Artifacts from treasure chests in the wilderness, she can also treat them as resources to "feed" to the set.

After Nolan also said that there was no problem.

Acting Grand Master Jean explained that there is a registration process for rewarding those who have made contributions. However, it was already late, and the Knights of Favonius responsible for the registration had already finished work for the day, so they would have to come back tomorrow.

"In that case, if there's nothing else, we'll go back first," Nolan said with a gentle nod of understanding.

"Alright, may the Thousand Winds of Mondstadt watch over you."

Jean rose from her seat, her soft lips parted slightly as she offered her blessing.

"Hehe, you too, Acting Grand Master Jean," Paimon waved, then followed Nolan and Lumine as they left the Knights of Favonius headquarters.

Outside, the sky was already showing the faint glow of the Milky Way formed by countless stars, as if it were just at the boundary between dusk and night.

Nolan and the others walked back in the direction of Val Berry Street.

Paimon and Lumine were talking about how worried she was as she watched her from the ground, fighting Dvalin in the sky.

The image of the scene was so vivid that Nolan almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Just then,

His character panel suddenly popped up with a series of notifications.

Sure enough, being involved in such significant events inevitably led to the formation of new character specialties.

Lumine's white dress revealed her snow-white back, and the fluttering straps attached to the back of her scarf fluttered in the cool night breeze, occasionally brushing against Nolan's arm.

As he listened to Lumine and Paimon chatting, Nolan continued to look at his character panel with anticipation.

[This Has Been An Incredibly Incredible Adventure. The History You've Experienced And Created Will Be Remembered, And A Character Specialty Is Taking Shape—]

[Please Wait A Moment...]

It's happening, it's happening!

Memories of the recent events automatically surfaced. The history created by Nolan's participation began to converge around him.

Once the history converged, it couldn't be changed by any means. Because that history had already anchored itself to him, turning into a power called "character specialties." As long as he didn't perish and his specialties remained, the past anchored to him couldn't be altered.

It was like adding an extra layer of protection named "Nolan" all around him.

Hmm, it does have its uses. After all, no one knows he's the anchor of this history. Who would randomly think of him in this context?

[You've Gained A New Character Specialty: Gospel Of The Sky.]

Oh boy, it finally appeared.

Nolan tapped on the introduction of the effects of this character specialty with some anticipation:

[Gospel Of The Sky: From The Power Granted By The Adventures Of "Saving Stormterror - Dvalin", This Specialty Allows The Wielder To Manipulate Anemo Elemental Power Even Without The Vision.]

Holy moly!

Nolan almost shouted out as he looked at the short description. Phew~ Luckily, he was a calm and collected person.

Elemental power, huh? Elemental power!

Previously, he had gone through many complicated processes in order to obtain the means to attack with elemental power.

Finding Wagner at the blacksmith shop to make elemental arrows, going to the alchemy table, and asking Sucrose to make elemental potions- he only used one bottle before the rest were shattered.

There was also the recently acquired Pyro Elemental Delusion.

All of these were just external items. Once they were used up or broken, they were gone. But having control over one's own power was more reassuring!

Thinking about this, Nolan finally couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and clench his fist.

Lumine, wearing over-the-knee high-heeled boots, her skirt hiding her snow-white thighs, cocked her waist slightly, wearing a puzzled expression, and stared at him, saying:

"You've been acting strange since earlier."

"It's a bit suspicious!" Paimon rubbed her chin with her palm, doubt evident in her starry eyes, as she continued, "I mean, what's up with you?"

Nolan calmed his emotions and, after a moment of contemplation, spoke openly: "Um, I seem to have found that I can manipulate Anemo elements, for some reason."

This kind of thing couldn't be hidden unless he didn't even use wind elemental power in the future, which was obviously impossible.

"What!"

Paimon, wearing her crown, exclaimed, covering her mouth. Even Lumine showed a surprised expression.

"Could it be that you've obtained a Vision?"

Paimon asked in amazement for a moment before expressing some confusion, her gaze also showing a hint of disbelief, gesturing for him to try it out.

After all, she only knew that Nolan had a Delusion that could produce fire.

"That's not it."

Nolan shook his head, then raised his palm, attempting to conjure a Wind Bullet. However, he found that the green wind elemental energy only spun once in his palm before dissipating.

Obviously, his proficiency was lacking, and he needed more practice.

His current state was actually similar to an ordinary person who had just obtained a Vision. It takes time to smoothly control elemental power.

"It's actually true. Could it be that you also..."

Paimon widened her eyes, almost blurting out Lumine's secret origin, then hurriedly covered her mouth.

"Me too?"

Nolan pretended to be puzzled and casually asked, though he wanted to ignore what Paimon said. But she had gone overboard with her reaction.

"No, it's nothing, don't worry about it!"

Paimon hastily waved her hand, almost like when they were hiding from the rain in the cave, and nearly slipped up again.

Lumine looked helplessly at Paimon, wondering if saying that made Nolan more suspicious.

"Paimon wants to ask, are you also like me, from outside this world, with the ability to control elemental power by coming into contact with a deity/god?"

Lumine lowered her arm, clad in a white long-sleeved glove, and after a moment of contemplation, she asked openly.

She didn't mention it earlier because she didn't want to attract trouble, but after spending so much time together, she understood that Nolan was a friend worth getting to know.

So, revealing this small matter wasn't a big problem.

At the same time, Lumine was also puzzled. She knew that ordinary people on Teyvat needed to possess a Vision, an external magical organ, to control elemental power.

But now, she encountered someone besides herself who could control elemental power without bypassing the Vision.

If it weren't for those with similar experiences, they might only think Nolan was someone with a special physique in Teyvat.

But for Lumine, it added another thought: "Someone else from outside the world, just like me."

". . ."

Nolan didn't expect Lumine to be so straightforward.

He now had decent strength and had dispelled the confusion and lack of confidence he had when he first crossed over. As long as malicious people didn't find out, telling Lumine and Paimon wasn't a problem.

So Nolan nodded and said, "Actually, I'm not from Teyvat. I'm just an ordinary person from a world with more advanced science. As for why I'm here, I don't understand either.

"At first, I was very unfamiliar with this place and kept this matter hidden. Fortunately, my talent in various martial arts aspects is good, which has led to my growth to the level I am at today."

Nolan showed a helpless expression and briefly explained. As for abilities like gaining Adventure EXP from the character panel, it was attributed to his own talents.

He still wanted to keep some secrets.

"Wow, it's actually true."

Paimon covered her head, surprised for a moment, and then felt that it wasn't that strange after all.

After all, she had been following a visitor from another world all along, so having one more wasn't that difficult to accept.

"Hehe, tell me what delicious things your world has!"

She quickly put this matter aside, slightly moving her hands and feet in mid-air, saying with some anticipation.

"..."

Lumine folded her hands across her chest, giving Paimon a disdainful look.

"I'm not a master chef. I only know how to make some home-cooked dishes. I can't make any gourmet food."

Nolan scratched his head, a smile spreading across his face.

Then he continued, "Speaking of which, Lumine, you're also from another world, right? Did you also suddenly come here?"

Since he now knew that Lumine also came from outside the world, it wouldn't be right not to show curiosity.

"No, my brother and I came together, but in the end, he was taken away by an unknown god, and I lost my power too."

Lumine's fair face showed a hint of melancholy, but she still briefly recounted her experience.

"I see."

What Lumine said was the same as what Nolan had known.

He didn't pursue further on this matter rationally, but instead turned to Lumine and asked, "Lumine, since I inexplicably gained the power of the Wind Element, but I'm not very proficient in it, could you teach me when you have time?"

Lumine now also controlled the Wind Element, and they lived in the same house, so it was convenient to ask for advice.

"Um, of course, that's no problem."

Lumine patted her snowy white chest, indicating that it was okay.

"Hehe~" Paimon stood with her hands on her hips, lifting her chin, then looked at Nolan and said, "You have to pay a fee for this, Traveler can't teach you for free. How about using it to offset the rent and meal expenses?"

"Paimon, you're quite thoughtful. Let's go with what you said then." Nolan endured a smile and said.

Val Berry Street, an exquisite two-story building.

After walking for a long time, the three finally returned home. Lumine and Paimon went to heat water for a bath, as they would be busy for a while.

Nolan, on the other hand, lay down on the light blue soft sofa for a while.

In addition to gaining a new character specialty from the Stormterror incident, he also obtained many Adventure EXP from the monsters defeated by everyone.

[Adventure EXP: 9555]

The panel displayed more than nine thousand, which could be used to raise several levels and enhance his strength without any problem.

Adventure EXP - 8400

Lv.27 (0/2700)

Lv.30 (0/3000)

Raising three levels at once, a huge and warm flow appeared in his body, gradually alleviating all the fatigue and muscle soreness.

Although there were no visible changes on the surface, he could clearly feel that his overall physical fitness had improved.

It was a pity that reaching level thirty wasn't a second breakthrough; that would happen at level forty, so there was no appearance of the three-choice racial specialization.

Name: Nolan Walker

Level: Lv.30 (0/3000)

Race: Human

Title: Honorary Knight

Innate Talent: Entangling Affection

Skills: Favonius Hunter's Archery Lv.10 (Advanced Stability, Shadowless and Silent), Favonius Royal Swordsmanship Lv.10 (Flickering Candlelight, Boundary of Stillwind), Stealth Assassination Lv.4 (0/400), Marital Arts Lv.2 (0/200), Sin-Purging Arrow Lv.1 (1/100), Rhine One-Handed Swordsmanship Lv.1 (1/100)

Specialties: [Descender] , [Maiden Savior] , [Monster Slayer] , [Abundant Life] , [Gospel of the SKy]

Adventure EXP: 1155

Looking at the remaining more than a thousand Adventure EXP on the panel, it wasn't enough to level up.

If you use it to upgrade your skills, you won't be able to level up to max level at once, so you can gain extraordinary characteristics, so it's better to save it for when you have enough Adventure EXP, and then upgrade one of the archery or swordsmanship skills to max level.

He remembered that in the character panel, a regular skill could gain three or more extraordinary characteristics, which might then be promoted to a more powerful extraordinary skill.

This extraordinary skill should correspond to the "Secret Arts" in the continent of Teyvat.

Most of the skills Nolan was learning now were ordinary-level skills, and only when they reached full level would they have extraordinary characteristics.

As for the "Secret Arts," it meant that it was already an extraordinary skill in itself, with its own extraordinary characteristics, just like his "Stealth Assassination" skill.

Reaching max level wouldn't mean gaining extraordinary characteristics; instead, it would transform into something even stronger on its original basis.

How much stronger it would become would only be clear when he reached that level.

Not long after,

Lumine finished bathing and changed into a white sleeveless top, stepping out of the bath, using a towel to dry her damp golden hair while her fair hands glistened with moisture.

She wore white shorts with frills at the hem, and her snow-white skin exposed by her legs looked dewy.

Her amber eyes looked at Nolan on the sofa, and her soft lips parted slightly as she smiled and said:

"After dinner, let's start teaching you how to use the power of the Wind Element. I'll teach you some techniques to control the wind element proficiently. I just thought of this, and it's very useful."

"Okay, there's nothing else to do after dinner anyway." Nolan nodded with some anticipation.

Next, little Paimon also finished bathing and came out. Nolan saw that it was almost time and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

The meat and vegetables were all freshly bought when they came back earlier; otherwise, they wouldn't use the power of ice to prevent the food from spoiling.

Soon, a sumptuous dinner was ready, quickly devoured by the hungry trio.

After clearing the table,

Lumine took a seat on the sofa, her softness leaving an indent in the plush cushions as the white skort hugged her rear.

Nolan and Paimon sat beside her, listening to her explanation.

"To quickly master the power of the wind element, it's all about practice. But for beginners in contact with elemental power, guiding the scarce wind elemental power from the surrounding space can be very energy-consuming."

Lumine paused and glanced at Nolan, asking him with her eyes if he understood.

"Yeah, I got it." Nolan nodded.

What Lumine said could probably be easily understood even by ordinary people.

"So, I thought of a simple technique, which is for me to condense a denser mass of wind elemental power first, and then I directly guide the wind elemental power in my hand. This way, it will be much easier."

Lumine raised her white hand, and a ball of cyan-colored wind element slowly rotated in her palm.

/RedX43

Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Brave Heart (2-in-1 Chapter)

"So, you mean artificially creating an environment with a higher concentration of elemental power for me to practice in?" Nolan said thoughtfully.

That's easy to understand. Let's say there are seventy small balls of different elemental powers in front of Nolan.

There are ten of each of the seven elemental powers, all mixed together. Now, Nolan needs to pick out the wind element ball. As a beginner, it might take a bit longer, and it's normal not to grasp it immediately.

And this method also consumes more energy.

What Lumine did was to pick out the ten wind element balls first, and directly present them to Nolan, like "feeding" him.

Perhaps the analogy isn't entirely accurate, but understanding the gist is enough.

Obviously, practicing in an environment with a high concentration of elements would make it much easier for Nolan.

"I see, the clever Paimon understands too." Paimon, wearing a small short-sleeved shirt, nodded and then took a bite of the apple in her hand, followed by a crisp chewing sound.

"Yeah, that's it. So, why don't you give it a try now?"

Lumine's fair right foot stretched out from her slipper, slightly pulling it back, pressing her ankle against the left leg, nestled in the gap between the soft couch.

"Sure, no problem."

Nolan nodded, bringing both hands close to the swirling mass of wind elemental power floating above Lumine's fair palms.

Relying on his intuition, he activated his character specialization, [Gospel of the Sky], attempting to slowly guide the wind elemental power in front of him into his own hands.

The spinning mass of wind elemental in Lumine's hand stalled slightly.

Then, two small "tentacles" were drawn to Nolan's hands, as expected, with Lumine's assistance, it was much simpler than guiding it himself.

"Wow, it moved, it really moved! Nolan, you're quite talented," Paimon exclaimed, swallowing the chewed-up fruit and then puzzledly asked, "Huh, why did it retreat?"

As Paimon said, just when Nolan thought he was about to succeed.

The wind elemental power he had drawn out retracted again. It seems that even in an environment with a high concentration of elements, he needs to practice several times.

"How does it feel?" Lumine used her left hand to tidy up her hair, which hadn't completely dried yet.

"It's indeed much easier, but there also seems to be an additional resistance to compete with you for control of the wind element."

Nolan thought for a moment, summarizing his feelings and said.

"My resistance?" Lumine pursed her lips, lightly nodded her fair chin in understanding, and continued, "This time, I'll release control of the wind elemental power. Seize the opportunity to guide them when they start to dissipate."

"Uh-huh." Nolan nodded softly, his palms still cradling the swirling mass of wind elemental power.

With a thought, Lumine released her control over the wind elemental power, causing it to start dissipating. Nolan seized the opportunity to guide them again.

The cyan-colored wind elementals seemed to gain some kind of force to maintain its cohesion between his palms, slowly rotating between them.

"It seems like it worked... Oh, it's dissipating again. Can't these wind elemental powers behave?"

Once again, Paimon was disappointed when she thought Nolan was going to succeed.

"It's okay, I feel like I've found the knack, Lumine, et's try this method a few more times."

Nolan wasn't as crestfallen as Paimon; he did manage to control the wind elemental power just now, albeit not for long.

As long as he familiarizes himself a few more times, he believes he'll get the hang of it soon.

After a long time passed.

Lumine and Paimon kept accompanying Nolan to practice controlling the wind element like this, they yawned, feeling a bit tired.

On the other hand, Nolan, with his [Abundant Life] specialty, didn't seem to feel sleepy.

Nolan didn't pay attention to how many times he practiced, anyway, he looked at Lumine's hand that was condensing the wind element, and it looked like she couldn't even lift it up.

Her head bobbed, as if she could fall asleep at any moment.

Nolan watched the unstable wind element gathered in her hands, seeming like it would dissipate at any moment.

Instead of waiting for Lumine to release her control over the wind element, he tried to guide it directly. This time, the resistance was minimal, and the rotating wind element easily came to Nolan's hands.

One second, ten seconds, one minute, three minutes...

"Phew~ Finally succeeded!" Nolan exclaimed in surprise. He felt like he could freely control this mass of wind elementals now.

After playing around for a while, he released his control over the wind elementals on his hands. When it completely dissipated, Nolan tried to guide the elementals without Lumine's assistance.

A faint breeze rotated in his palms. After several familiarizations with guiding the wind elements, he had successfully mastered this technique!

"Ah did it work, if it doesn't work again, I'm going to fall asleep."

Paimon, lying on the couch with Lumine's soft thighs as a pillow, rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"Looks like you're learning well, that's all for today, just practice for a few more days and you should be able to apply it in a real battle."

Lumine said, relieved to see Nolan finally succeed. She raised her hands, stretching lazily, and the white short-sleeved top was lifted slightly, revealing her snow-white belly.

...

The next morning.

After Nolan and the others finished breakfast, they came to the Knights HQ and greeted the Knights of Favonius standing guard at the entrance, and entered the Acting Grand Master's office.

"Both honorable knights, and Paimon, you're here."

Jean, wearing the Knight Order uniform, smiled. This time she didn't sit on the chairs in the office area near the window.

Instead, somewhat unexpectedly, she sat on the right side of the square-long table, with a cup of steaming hot tea in front of her.

The Scout Knight with a red bunny ear knot on her head, also sat next to her.

"Good morning, Grand Master Jean, eh? Amber's here too."

Paimon greeted Jean first, then looked at Amber with some surprise.

"Hehe, why wouldn't I be here as a Knight of Favonius? Nolan, Lumine, come over and have some tea!"

Amber's white face revealed a smile as she stood up and picked up the ceramic teapot on the tablet and poured a cup of black tea for everyone.

"Wow, it smells so warm and nice."

Paimon didn't sit down on the chair like Nolan and the others did. Instead, she floated in mid-air, holding the teacup and sniffing it near her nose.

Jean picked up the white tea cup and put it to her soft lips and took a sip:

"This is a souvenir given to me by the Tianquan of Liyue when she came to Mondstadt to discuss business cooperation."

"It seems to be a tea called 'Dyed Dragon Snow,' produced on a tea tree unique to Liyue. According to them, this special tea tree grows differently from others, only producing tender buds and leaves in large quantities during the winter season. They need to be nourished by snow and cold, and only when it's 'Great Snow' season can they be picked to have a special tea fragrance, which is extremely rare and therefore precious."

"Great Snow? Is it a day with heavy snowfall?"

Lumine looked at the reflection of her face in the red liquid in the teacup, a bit puzzled.

"'Great Snow' doesn't refer to snowy weather, it's a solar term in the calendar of Liyue, a fixed day."

Amber explained.

"I see." Lumine and Paimon both nodded.

"Hehe, Nolan, as someone from Liyue, you should know about it, right?"

Amber looked at the young adventurer and asked.

"..."

Nolan paused with the teacup in hand. He understood the concept of 'solar terms,' but tea trees were something the game hadn't mentioned. How would he know?

Anyways, he is not really from Liyue, it's just he looks like one for obvious reasons.

Hmm. When he first crossed over, he didn't tell Amber the truth due to various considerations. It had always made him feel a bit guilty about not being honest with her.

Now was a good opportunity to come clean. After all, continuing like this would eventually lead to exposure, and it wouldn't be good to lose Amber's affection.

"Actually, Amber, I'm not from Liyue," Nolan replied after a moment of silence.

"Hmm? Huh?!"

Amber nodded twice as if to say she was listening, then widened her eyes in realization.

"Cough, actually, it's like this." Nolan patiently explained his situation of coming from another world to both Amber and Grand Master Jean. "At the time, to avoid being misunderstood by you, I said I was from Liyue. After all, if someone suddenly said they were from another world, anyone would find it suspicious, right?"

"Mm, I see. I can't believe it. If it weren't for knowing you for so long and knowing you're not someone who likes to joke around, I would have thought you were joking," Amber said somewhat surprised.

"That explains it. You seemed like an ordinary person with mediocre martial skills before. It's understandable that you concealed your bizarre origins," Jean nodded thoughtfully, leaning back against the chair.

"Well, since there's a reason for it, I won't hold it against you for deceiving me."

Amber's red bunny ear hair knot wiggled as her soft lips curved up slightly in a smile:

"Rather, I'm glad you told me your secret. It means I'm still worthy of your trust as a friend."

[Amber Has Developed Good Feelings Towards You, Obtained 300 Affection Points. Current Affection Level Lv.4 (350/400)]

"Amber has a point. As an honorable knight, the Knight Order will always be your strong support!" Jean folded her hands across her chest, showing a faint smile.

[Jean Has Developed Good Feelings Towards You, Obtained 180 Affection Points. Current Affection Level Lv.5 (10/500)]

Due to their already high levels of Affection, even though Amber and Grand Master Jean heard something unexpected, they showed understanding towards Nolan. This made him feel somewhat relieved.

"Ahem, that... Grand Master Jean, Amber, actually I am too..."

At this moment, Lumine, with white flowers in her golden hair, looked embarrassed as she spoke up.

"..."

Jean and Amber's faces showed helplessness. When did visitors from another world become so common?

Not only did they appear in Mondstadt, but they also became honorary knights of the Knights of Favonius at the same time.

After thoroughly understanding the situation between Nolan and Lumine, Jean sighed and nodded:

"Your situation is indeed a bit unexpected, and it does make sense for you to conceal it. Too many people knowing about it would inevitably lead to trouble, so we won't announce that you two honorable knights are visitors from another world.

"Anyway, let's put that aside for now. You're here to claim the Artifacts Set rewards I promised yesterday, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Nolan and Lumine nodded slightly.

"I have two sets of Artifacts here. Because of their similar powers, even in their initial state, the resonance effect of the set can provide a considerable boost in power to the bearer."

Jean stood up and took out two sets of golden-hued Artifacts from her Vision, placing them in front of the two.

"Wow, they're so beautiful!" Paimon admired their color, reminiscent of round Mora coins.

"Hehe~ They're called 'Brave Hearts'. They were found in a new secret realm discovered by the Knights of Favonius when we explored it together," Amber said with a slight smile on her fair face.

"I see. Well, then we won't be polite and accept them." Nolan nodded.

He remembered that in the game, the two-piece set of "Brave Heart" increased attack power(+18%), while the four-piece set boosted damage against high-health targets(Increases DMG by 30% against opponents with more than 50% HP).

Overall, it was quite good.

Artifacts are as mysterious as the existence of treasure chests, and their nature is precipitated by the history of a long time, with magical power.

So, the way to equip them was also quite mystical.

Anyone who touched them with their hands could choose to integrate them into their bodies as energy. Once successfully carried, removing them was as simple as a thought, very straightforward.

With the Knights of Favonius' reward in hand, Nolan and his companions prepared to leave.

According to their plan before leaving, the three of them would go to the Adventurers' Guild to pick up quests after collecting their rewards from the Knights of Favonius.

Although Lumine hadn't asked Venti if he knew the unknown god who kidnapped her brother, she probably knew it wasn't the mischievous Anemo Archon.

So, she would soon embark on the next adventure of her journey. But before that, she needed to earn enough Mora and buy some essential supplies in Mondstadt.

After all, a trip to Liyue, the closest neighboring nation to Mondstadt, would take about a month for a merchant caravan hauling goods by wagon.

She and Paimon couldn't continue living off the land by hunting forever. At the very least, they needed to bring enough food and clean water.

"Oh, wait a minute. Nolan, Traveler, do you have time now?"

Amber called out to Nolan and his companions.

"Hmm? Amber, what's up?" Paimon asked, tilting her head in confusion.

"Later on I'm going to post your brother's missing person notice. Oh and by the way, I'm going to clean up some of the debris that was blown onto the walls and roofs of the buildings due to the windstorm, are you guys free to join me?"

Amber said with deliberation.

"Of course!"

Lumine nodded heavily, taking on a commission to earn Mora could come later, but finding her brother would have to be taken seriously first.

"Since that's the case, I'll help too," Nolan naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Hehe, count me in too."

Paimon raised a hand, indicating her willingness to join.

"Great, let's start by checking the rooftop of the Knights of Favonius' building. We'll see if anything has been blown up there."

Amber smiled gently.

Next, everyone bid farewell to Master Jean, left the Acting Grand Master's office, and followed Amber to the stairs leading to the upper floor behind the hall.

Two girls, wearing knee-high white boots, swayed their skirts as they walked up the stairs, the sound of their heels tapping against the ground crisp and clear.

/RedX43

Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Lighting up the Teleport Waypoint (2-in-1 Chapter)

"Amber, what's on the second floor of the Knights of Favonius headquarters?"

As they continued walking up the stairs, passing what seemed like an unremarkable second floor, Nolan asked curiously.

In the game, there was an "invisible wall" here that players couldn't pass through, so it naturally sparked his curiosity. He was no exception.

"It's a place for storing some files and information and providing a temporary resting place for everyone after work. Nothing special."

Her deep brown hair flowed along the gentle curve of her back as Amber looked ahead, her fair profile facing Nolan with a smile.

"Oh, I see."

Nolan nodded. As expected, as he had anticipated, the reason players couldn't access this area in the game was probably just because the development team hadn't bothered to do internal modeling.

Soon after, they arrived at the rooftop of the Knights of Favonius headquarters.

Pushing open the wooden door, they saw the same grayish-white stone floor.

They easily spotted the debris blown onto the rooftop by the wind disaster, such as leaves and newspapers. Some were hanging on the brick railing, while others were lodged in the tiles outside the railing.

"Ah, look, there's indeed a lot of debris. We'll have to clean them up."

Amber sighed a little.

"After cleaning up, we'll fly down to the area near the Windmill and post a missing person notice there."

After saying that, Amber led everyone to collect the debris while preparing to burn them to ashes with Pyro Elemental energy, as they were mostly useless.

At the same time, Paimon also asked Amber with some confusion:

"If we post it on the Windmill, won't it be seen by fewer people due to the high location?"

After all, for a missing person notice to be effective, someone had to see it. Otherwise, it would be a waste of effort.

Amber shook her head, the rabbit ear knots in her hair swaying as she parted her thin red lips and said:

"A lot of young citizens go to a few of the big Windmills in Mondstadt City to enjoy the view, especially some affectionate lovers. So, posting it there won't seem secluded, and someone is bound to notice it."

"I see. What Amber said makes sense. Let's hurry up and finish cleaning up the stuff and fly over to post the missing person notice."

Paimon waved her little fist in anticipation.

"Yeah, let's do that."

Amber squatted in front of the pile of useless debris, her thigh-high white boots creasing slightly at the knees. She extended her right hand to ignite the debris with Pyro Elemental energy, and suddenly remembered something:

"Oh, by the way, speaking of flying, Lumine, Nolan, it seems like neither of you have a flying license yet?"

"A flying license? What's that?"

Before the two could answer, Paimon, looking perplexed, asked first, while Lumine looked at her with amber-colored eyes.

Nolan, however, had some understanding of this.

"The name itself is pretty self-explanatory. If you want to fly legally in Mondstadt, you must obtain a flying license!"

Amber looked at the flickering flames in front of her, a slight smile appearing on her fair face.

"So, is Amber planning to give us a flying license?" Lumine smiled, her fair fingers brushing the golden tips of her hair that cascaded down her face.

"How could that be! The Knights of Favonius uphold principles." After the flames died out, Amber clapped her hands and stood up. "To obtain a flying license, one must pass an exam and then it will be issued by the Knights of Favonius."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "Today, as part of your task to clean up the city rooftop debris and post missing person notices, I'll act as your examiner to oversee the exam."

"After all, as Honorary Knights, it wouldn't be proper for you to fly around the city without a license, would it?"

"'Exam' is a word I often heard when I was studying and going to school back in my world."

Nolan scratched his head, feeling annoyed to encounter this troublesome word even after crossing over.

"Yeah, exams sound troublesome indeed, but if Amber is supervising as the examiner, then maybe..." Paimon blinked her starry eyes, looking at the enthusiastic scout knight with anticipation.

Nolan couldn't help but smile slightly at Paimon's expression, thinking that little Paimon really had a knack for wit, although the upright scout knight would certainly not agree.

As expected, Amber, with her hands on her hips and a determined tone, said firmly, "Absolutely not! Rest assured, with your abilities, this exam will be a breeze for you."

Her subsequent words softened a bit.

"Alright." Lumine and Paimon shrugged, showing a somewhat disappointed expression.

"Nolan is much better at handling situations like this." Amber looked at their expressions helplessly, then took out a thick book from the Vision and continued, "Take a look at this Flight Guide. Before the formal exam begins, familiarize yourselves with the rules and standards of flying."

"Wow, it looks pretty thick. Luckily, I can fly with my 'Illusory Wings' and don't need to take the exam to use the Wind Glider." Paimon patted her chest, feeling relieved.

Lumine glanced at her disdainfully. Look at you, all proud.

"When Lisa taught me magic, she also made me read many thick books first. Anyway, you don't need to remember everything, just get a basic understanding." Amber changed her posture, now crossing her arms over her chest.

"Alright, since that's the case, there's nothing we can do." Nolan nodded.

"Then let's sit here and quickly go over the key points." Paimon looked to the left side of the brick railing, where there was a grayish-white roof with a spire. Along the spire, she noticed something familiar and exclaimed in surprise:

"Hey, Traveler, look! There's a strange device here too."

Hearing Paimon's words, everyone followed her gaze and saw a large torch-like device emitting a red light quietly placed under the spire.

"Oh, you mean that. It mysteriously appeared there when the Knights of Favonius headquarters was built, and it's just as magical as the treasure chest. Everyone has long been used to it, and no one knows what its purpose is."

Amber explained with a look of realization after thinking for a moment.

This was an unlit teleportation waypoint, which Nolan had already seen before, but unfortunately, he couldn't use it.

Only those with special powers like Lumine can activate and use it.

"Hehe, we know about this." Paimon smiled, placing her hands behind her back.

"You know?" Amber looked at Paimon in surprise.

"Yeah, the first time we encountered this device was on the beach outside of Stormbearer Point. Out of curiosity, we touched it, and suddenly, that 'torch-like' thing floated up from its base, and the red light changed to blue."

Lumine, with one hand holding the backless white dress wrapped around her chest and the other hand supporting her chin, reminisced. Her snow-white skin with gentle curves was slightly lifted as she continued:

"I examined the device and found that as long as you touch it again, you can choose to teleport to another device that you've activated."

"What?! They're teleportation devices?" Amber was clearly surprised, and Nolan, standing beside her, mirrored the same expression.

"Yeah, and the Traveler can even take me along for the ride. Unfortunately, we only found one on the beach, one on a hill far beyond Mondstadt Bridge, and one above the streets near the Fountain Square. But the one on the street is in plain sight, so the Traveler didn't activate it to avoid attracting attention."

Paimon shared what she knew.

"So that's how it is. Could this be another special ability like your 'purification'?" Amber felt incredulous, but she didn't doubt it. After all, the Traveler was someone full of unknowns.

"I'm not sure, actually," Lumine shook her head, indicating uncertainty.

"How about it? Do you want to experience the feeling of teleportation? Let the Traveler activate this teleportation device and take you outside Mondstadt to see."

Paimon looked at the teleportation waypoint and said to Amber and Nolan..

"Is it possible?" Amber was intrigued.

Nolan also looked at Lumine with curiosity.

"Of course." Lumine nodded. "I'll go activate this teleportation device first."

After saying that, Lumine effortlessly climbed up the spire above the Knights of Favonius headquarters.

Taking a few steps forward with her legs clad in over-the-knee white boots, she gently touched the teleport waypoint with her fair palm.

Suddenly, a dazzling blue light flashed, and the teleport waypoint floated up from its grayish-white, stone-like base.

"I can't believe it actually changed!"

Amber's deep brown hair covering her hips swayed gently in the breeze as she watched. Her hair tips lightly brushed against her snow-white thighs.

Next, Lumine took Amber and Nolan separately to try teleporting to the waypoint outside Mondstadt, and then quickly returned.

This proved Paimon's words to be true.

"So fast. One moment you close your eyes, and the next moment, the world has changed. It's similar to Lisa's spatial transfer magic!"

Amber found that using the teleportation device for spatial transfer didn't feel particularly special. There was no discomfort in her body or anywhere else; everything felt natural.

"It's indeed marvelous. This can be considered a significant discovery for the continent of Teyvat." Nolan also sighed slightly.

"Yeah, that's right. You two stay here and familiarize yourselves with the contents of the 'Flight Guide.' I'll go report to Acting Grand Master Jean!"

Before Amber could finish speaking, she ran downstairs in a hurry.

"Ah, Amber is such a spirited girl." Paimon, wearing a crown on her head, shrugged helplessly and sighed.

Next, Nolan and Lumine sat on the railing and opened the book Amber had given them to read.

Paimon, although exempt from the exam, floated curiously behind them, her gaze passing through the two of them and landing on the pages of the book.

Before long,

Paimon, slightly puzzled, said, "Although I've only read a dozen pages, why does the book Amber gave us feel less like a 'Flight Guide' and more like... um, what was it again?"

She scratched her pure white hair, unable to remember for a moment.

"Like a fable," Lumine's fair face showed a pensive expression.

Nolan nodded, recalling that in the game's plot, Amber had mistakenly given Lumine a fable about "courage" instead of the flight guide.

At this point in time, it should be mismatched with the time of the game's plot, but unexpectedly, she still made the same mistake.

Only you, Amber.

Soon, the wooden door on the rooftop was pushed open again, and Amber came out with Acting Grand Master Jean and Miss Lisa.

"Oh, cutie, I heard you've caused another commotion~" Miss Lisa, wearing a purple dress robe, crossed her arms and said lazily.

She was reading in the library when she heard from Jean and little Amber that the strange device on the rooftop had been activated by Lumine. Naturally, this piqued her curiosity, so she chose to come and take a look.

After all, she had never heard of anyone being able to make these things change.

"After all, she's the miraculous Traveler from another world!" Paimon smiled and said.

"In any case, Lisa, why don't you go and see if you can figure out something, so as not to hide any imperceptible dangers." Jean looked at the device above the spire with some doubt.

"I've studied it over a hundred times. I hope I can see something this time." Lisa's legs, wrapped in over-the-knee black lace stockings, showed a symmetrical and gentle curve in the sunlight as she stepped into a purple magic circle in front of her and walked in with high heels.

Then she appeared in front of the strange device on the spire, which was already lit up and emitting a blue light, and began her research.

During this time, Lumine was asked to teleport a bit, and in the end, she came up with a conclusion that she herself was not too sure about.

Lisa believed that these devices should be "waypoints" set in key nodes of the ley lines.

Like carriages, they allow users to briefly participate in the circulation of the ley lines using these "waypoints" and then emerge from another "waypoint."

Although the circulation of the ley lines is fast, it's somewhat different from spatial transfer magic. The closer the two waypoints are, the shorter the time required for teleportation, but if they are far apart, there may be some delay.

Hearing Lisa's explanation, Nolan felt that it seemed quite reasonable.

After all, when he used the teleport waypoints in the game, if they were close, there was hardly any loading time, but if they were farther away, it would take several seconds to load.

Thus, Lisa's guessed principle of operation for the teleport waypoints was just right.

Unfortunately, she had no clue about how to activate the waypoints, for now, only Lumine could do that.

After clarifying the matter of the teleport waypoints, Acting Grand Master Jean finally felt relieved. She still trusted Lisa more, although it was just a guess, but since she dared to say it, it was probably not far from the truth.

After Lisa and Acting Grand Master Jean left the rooftop, Amber asked Nolan and Lumine if they had finished reading the "Flight Guide," only to be embarrassedly informed that she had given them the wrong book.

There was no choice but for her to search for another book in her Vision.

This book was of similar color and thickness, no wonder Amber carelessly took the wrong one without noticing.

To save time, Teacher Amber personally picked out the key points to explain to Nolan and Lumine the things they needed to pay attention to when using the Wind Glider for flight.

For example, "two people can not share a wind glider", "cannot use Anemo Slime for takeoff in violation of regulations," "cannot use Wind Gliders while intoxicated," and so on.

After confirming that both of them had memorized it, Amber's flight test officially began!

Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Encounter at the Blacksmith Shop

"The first step before flying is to make sure that you are in good physical and mental health."

Amber, with her hands clad in brown gloves, pressed them against the belts on either side of her waist. She glanced at Nolan and Lumine, then continued, "From the looks of you, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Then let's talk about the first test item, which is to take off from a higher terrain, then fly steadily for a while while paying attention to the wind direction and conditions. We'll fly from the Knights of Favonius headquarters rooftop to the windmill tower near the city wall."

"Oh, that sounds easy," Nolan said, understandingly.

"Hehe, that's right. It seems we'll be able to handle it easily," Paimon said, arms crossed, with a smile.

"Don't be careless, after all, there are many cases of violations that have already told us that most accidents occur due to carelessness during flight," Amber explained, citing examples from the "Flight Guide."

Like the Mondstadt citizen Rudolf, who, to amuse his daughter, jumped from his second-floor window with the Wind Glider, fracturing his left leg and bruising his hip on landing.

Or the bard Josef, who insisted on showcasing his musical skills in the air to impress his drinking buddies, only to plunge from the sky into the wishing pool under Lord Barbatos's feet. Though uninjured, he was banned from flying by the Knights of Favonius for five years.

There was also the legendary adventurer, Miss Alice, who publicly used the Wind Slime's airstream to take off, drawing the Acting Grand Master's ire.

"So even if you are Honorary Knights, when flying in Mondstadt, don't get too cocky. If you cause any negative consequences, the Knights will punish you!" Amber warned in conclusion.

Paimon nodded after listening.

"Hehe, got it. The Traveler and I are law-abiding tourists. As for this guy..."

She glanced mischievously at Nolan and shrugged.

"Hey, what's with that look, you little troublemaker Paimon?" Nolan said, feeling speechless at her antics.

"Alright, I'll fly over first. Follow my lead when you're ready to start flying," Amber said, standing on the brick railing with her legs clad in over-the-knee white high-heeled boots, slightly leaning forward, then leaping off with her Wind Glider spread out.

She glided like a large red bird.

The sunlight caressed Amber's relaxed, snow-white thighs as they hung down, casting a slightly dazzling reflection.

Not long after, she stopped on the walkway near the windmill tower in the distance, then turned around and waved back at the others.

Lumine and Nolan saw Amber's signal and subsequently launched their Wind Gliders and flew out.

For these "veteran drivers," the exam was simply no challenge at all.

The Wind Glider, slightly trembling, revealed Lumine's snow-white back, with her symmetrical and gentle shoulder blades becoming more prominent as she spread her arms.

A gentle breeze brushed Nolan's face as the two of them landed smoothly on the wooden walkway above the windmill tower.

Amber clapped her hands and said, "You two are indeed Honorary Knights. The standard flight license exam set by the Knights was indeed too easy for you."

"That's true, but this kind of exam still depends on luck. If an unexpected crosswind comes, I dare not say we can fly over to meet the standard," Nolan said with a touch of emotion.

This flight license exam reminded him of memories of taking the driver's license exam for motor vehicles back on Earth.

"Well, that's true. I remember a young adventurer named Bennett who always had various strange accidents every time he came to take the flight license exam with the Knights. He still hasn't passed yet."

Amber casually said as if she had thought of something, mainly because that level of bad luck was truly impressive.

So it was Bennett! Nolan had already associated him with being unlucky just by hearing that name alone.

"Anyway, before we proceed to the next exam phase, Paimon, could you please pick up the debris hanging on the windmill rotor?" Amber asked as Paimon leisurely flew over.

"Of course, no problem," Paimon said with a smile on her fair little face.

After dealing with the debris, Amber took out a pale yellow piece of paper from her Vision and handed it to Lumine, saying, "This is a missing person notice I made based on the appearance of your brother as mentioned earlier. Take a look to see if there's anything else to add."

"'Seeking the missing young man with distinctive blond exotic clothing. Any information, please contact Scout Knight Amber. Much appreciated!'"

Lumine read the contents aloud, parting her soft lips.

Apart from the lack of a portrait, there were no major issues, Nolan thought to himself after glancing at it.

After posting the missing person notice, Amber and the others went to the city wall. The second test phase was obstacle avoidance, which also didn't pose a challenge for Nolan and Lumine.

As time passed...

The debris blown onto the city wall was cleared, and the missing person notices were mostly posted in their designated spots.

"That's great, the area we needed to clear has been cleared. Thanks to you all, it wouldn't have been done so quickly without your help. The rest can be left to our fellow Knights and the citizens themselves," Amber said near the "Good Hunter" restaurant.

"Fountain Square and the streets have returned to their bustling state as usual," she added, addressing Nolan and the others.

[Amber Has Developed Good Feelings Towards You, Obtained 150 Affection Points. Current Affection Level: Level 5 (100/500)]

"No need to be polite, after all, we're honorary knights too." Nolan said with a smile on his face.

"Well, you guys also passed your flight license, wait for a few days and the Knights will have them issued and I'll bring them over to you," Amber said before bidding farewell to attend to her other duties.

Next, Nolan and Lumine still planned to go to the Adventurers' Guild to pick up a commission. But before that, Nolan went to the blacksmith shop to find Wagner and collect the elemental arrows he had customized last time.

After such a long time had passed, it was no surprise that they were ready.

When they arrived at the blacksmith shop, they unexpectedly saw a familiar figure mentioned earlier—Bennett!

"Uncle Wagner, can't you lower the repair cost a bit? With 200,000 Mora, I could buy a new one!" The blond-haired youth was bargaining with the burly man there.

"Bennett, what are you talking about? A three-star one-handed sword starts at least at 1 million. Look at your broken sword, it has several deep cuts. To repair it, we'll need to forge it again with new materials, and their cost is almost the same as this price," Wagner explained helplessly.

What nonsense are you spouting, Bennett? And, what's there for me to cheat about? Besides, the most important thing to me, is my reputation.

"Hello there, Mr. Bennett, Mr. Wagner," Nolan greeted the two.

"Oh, it's you, kid. I thought you didn't want those elemental arrows anymore," Wagner said, crossing his massive arms.

"How could that be? I'm here to pick them up," Nolan replied with a smile.

"Oh, Nolan, it just so happens I've been looking for you lately," Bennett said, slightly surprised to see Nolan and the others, then remembering something.

A few days ago, he heard from the hunters in Springvale that there were strange wolves appearing in the Wolvendom. He wanted to go on an adventure there, but he got delayed for a few days because of the Stormterror incident.

Seeing the good weather yesterday, he thought of going to find Nolan to go on an adventure together, but when he tried to find him, he realized he didn't know where he lived.

Unable to locate him, he had to go and check out the situation by himself, and almost didn't make it back!

"You're looking for me?"

Nolan was a bit puzzled.

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Monsters from Another World

In Mondstadt City, at the blacksmith's shop.

Bennett recounted the recent events he had encountered.

"So, you're saying there are fierce-looking flying wolves in the Wolvendom, and you almost got injured?"

Nolan's face showed a slight expression of surprise as he spoke.

Fierce-looking and flying. If I'm not mistaken, those must be the monsters from the Otherworld, a Riftwolf or a Rifthound or maybe Rifthound Whelp?

Back when the game was updated, even Noelle, whom he always took along no matter what, would be severely damaged by them.

Once attacked by these creatures, even through a shield, it would cause a long-lasting "bleeding" effect.

In the game, it was manageable, but if one were scratched by them in reality, they might quickly bleed to death. In other words, they were much more dangerous than you'd think.

Fortunately, Bennett's elemental burst had a healing effect; otherwise, he might really have fallen in the Wolvendom.

Speaking of which, Bennett might be unlucky, but regardless of the circumstances, he could always turn the situation around.

Perhaps that's why his constellation/Seat of Destiny/Archon Seat is called "Fire Ventures With Me."

The adventure process may be perilous, but the ending is always satisfactory.

"Yeah, I've never seen those monsters before. They seem quite strange, and I don't know why they suddenly appeared in the Wolvendom Territory."

Bennett said as he stroked his blonde hair.

"It sounds interesting. How about we investigate? After all, as they say, the greater the danger, the greater the adventure. Besides, the unknown often signifies treasure!"

Paimon, who was listening nearby, adjusted the position of her floating crown on her head and smiled.

"...Hmm"

Lumine, with her hands on her soft waist, looked at Paimon with some exasperation and said, "In case of unusual circumstances, you should first inform the Knights of Favonius or the Adventurers' Guild; don't take unnecessary risks!"

"Eh-hey!" Paimon blinked one eye and stuck out her tongue.

"Um, this friend with golden hair is right. Let's go report the unusual situation in the Wolvendom to the guild first," Bennett agreed with a nod.

"Hehe, she's Lumine and I'm Paimon." Paimon briefly introduced himself and Lumine.

"I'm Bennett. Nice to meet you both," Bennett said with a smile.

Before heading to the Adventurers' Guild, Nolan also picked up the elemental arrows made of water elemental ore at the blacksmith's shop.

Wagner's forging skills were still good; he forged sixty arrows from three pieces of water elemental ore.

Since Nolan provided the main raw materials, he only charged a crafting fee of thirty thousand mora, and the wooden shafts for the arrows weren't worth much either.

"Ad astra abyssosque! Welcome to the Adventurers' Guild."

The receptionist, Katheryne, dressed in a maid-style dress, smiled as she looked at the familiar faces approaching from outside.

"Hello, Miss Katheryne," Paimon, who had only recently met Katheryne, spoke in a tone that made it seem like they were quite familiar.

"Hello, Paimon. Are you here to take on a commission?"

Katheryne politely inquired, her hands elegantly folded in front of her.

"No, Miss Katheryne, we've discovered some unusual occurrences in the Wolvendom," Bennett reiterated what he had just told Nolan and the others.

"I see. Have unknown dangerous monsters appeared?" Katheryne pondered for a moment, then nodded. "I understand. If what you say is true, then these monsters are indeed very dangerous. It's necessary to investigate them, so..."

"So what?" Paimon scratched her head, a bit puzzled.

Katheryne's fair face showed a gentle smile as she faced everyone. "So, such a dangerous task is difficult for ordinary people to handle. Why not have the Traveler, who was able to repel the Wind Dragon to take the lead and take it on?"

"Me?" Lumine showed a slightly surprised expression.

"Of course, no one is more suitable than you and your companions," Katheryne confirmed with a nod.

Hearing Katheryne's words, Paimon clasped her hands behind her back and said with a smile, "Hehe, as expected, we're heading to the Wolvendom in the end."

"That shouldn't be a problem. After all, we're here to take on commissions anyway," Nolan said, rubbing his chin.

"Makes sense," Lumine twirled a strand of her golden hair around her finger, showing no objections.

Bennett, needless to say, was eager to take on the task. After all, he was the first to discover the anomalies in the Wolvendom, and as someone aspiring to be a "great adventurer," he couldn't simply ignore these dangerous monsters.

"Thank you very much. Please prepare adequate supplies before setting out. I'll report this information to Branch Master Cyrus and have him prepare the specific commission details," Katheryne politely excused herself from the reception desk.

[Katheryne Has Developed Good Feelings Towards You, Obtained 150 Affection Points. Current Affection Level: Lv.3 (70/300)]

"Katheryne is right. This time, we have to prepare properly this time, we can't eat roasted meat without seasoning again."

Paimon said, spreading her hands and looking at Lumine.

Clearly, their life in the wilderness before arriving in Mondstadt wasn't all that wonderful.

Next, the group spent some time purchasing essential items for wilderness adventures.

For example, Nolan's tent was broken and needed to be replace it with a new one.

In Mondstadt City, there was a shop specializing in outdoor adventure gear for adventurers. Before long, they bought everything they needed and returned.

To Nolan's slight surprise, in addition to Branch Master Cyrus, there were also two familiar figures who came back with Katheryne.

Fischl and her familiar, Night Raven Oz!

"Hehe~ My attendants, it has been a long time. Undoubtedly, you must have missed this princess deeply!"

Fischl, with her long golden hair, saw Nolan and raised her fair cheeks slightly as she spoke.

"Aiya, the young miss still often misses you guys in the course of her investigation mission."

Oz said as he flapped his night-colored wings.

"Mind your words, Oz!" Fischl retorted discontentedly.

"Long time no see, Miss Fischl and Oz," Bennett greeted with a smile.

Nolan also greeted Fischl and Oz and introduced Lumine and Paimon to everyone to get acquainted.

He then asked with some confusion, "How come you're here? Did Mr. Cyrus ask you to come over to investigate the monsters in the Wolvendom together?"

"Haha, you guessed it right, kid. Little Fischl here is a very capable investigator for our Adventurers' Guild. With her, you'll have a much easier time," Cyrus, wearing a monocle, laughed loudly.

Nolan's thoughts were confirmed, and he naturally welcomed Fischl and Oz's joining. After all, as the branch master said, Fischl's assistance in investigating the Rifthounds would be of great help.

Shortly after.

Branch Master Cyrus officially announced the adventurers' commission.

The commission was designated as high-risk, with a reward of two million Mora. Hearing this amount made Paimon extremely excited.

Then, this ad-hoc adventure team set out.

Out of curiosity, Nolan activated his Golden Eye of Judgment to glance at Cyrus, the former legendary adventurer, and discovered that his level was sixty, indeed not weak.

Surprisingly, the gentle and elegant Katheryne also had a level of twenty. Perhaps it was because of her puppet nature? Nolan speculated.

Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Appearance of Rifthound

Mondstadt, Springvale.

On their way to Wolvendom, the temporary adventure team decided to stop here first and inquire about any clues.

Even before they entered the small town, they saw a group of hunters from Springvale gathered on the roadside discussing something. Leading them was their hunting chief, Draff.

"No, Chief, I must slaughter those damn beasts! I trust my archery skills!" exclaimed a young hunter wearing a hat, filled with excitement.

"That's too risky. They're not ordinary wolves; they're monsters!" Draff, with a beard, shook his head. "I think even if all the hunters in our town went out, it might not be enough. Besides, such behavior is foolish. We should go and ask the Knights of Favonius for help."

"Long time no see, Mr. Draff," Nolan greeted as he approached.

"Oh, Nolan, it's you. Indeed, it's been a while," Draff, slightly surprised to see Nolan, replied.

Then, he smiled and said, "Are you here to share a drink with me?"

"Haha, sorry, Mr. Draff. We heard about the strange monsters appearing in Wolvendom, so we took on a commission to investigate. By the way, is what you just said related to this matter?"

Nolan scratched his head awkwardly, then asked with a puzzled expression.

"...Well, indeed." Draff lowered his gaze thoughtfully and explained, "Wolvendom is our main hunting ground in Springvale. Generally, there aren't any powerful monsters there that we can't handle.

"But yesterday, two of our hunting teams came back injured. Their faces were pale, as if they hadn't eaten for days. According to them, it was a type of creature that looked like a wolf.

"Being scratched by them causes continuous bleeding. Two of them had minor wounds less than a centimeter, yet the whole team's hemostatic and healing potions were almost depleted just to barely stop it. It's terrifying. If we don't clear them out, no hunters in Springvale will dare to go hunting there. We're troubled by this."

After all, not everywhere was like Wolvendom, which was more suitable as a long-term hunting ground in all aspects of conditions.

The matter of unstoppable bleeding had been mentioned by Bennett earlier. He had encountered these creatures and was injured by them, but he easily resisted them with the healing effects of his Elemental Burst.

"It seems that they have already endangered the residents in the neighborhood," Lumine said thoughtfully.

Just then, a slightly chubby hunter rushed over hastily from outside, shouting as he ran, "Bad news, Chief! Those guys have appeared on the roads near the town!"

"What?!"

At once several hunters including Draff were shocked and ran outside.

"Are they saying those strange monsters from Wolvendom have come near Springvale?" Paimon watched the departing figures, scratching his head in confusion.

"If that's the case it's really troublesome. If the monsters stay in Wolvendom and they stay away from Wolvendom to avoid danger, but running to the vicinity of Springvale means there's no way to avoid it anymore," Nolan said with a heavy heart.

"Oz, follow them!"

Fischl, with her symmetrical legs wrapped in asymmetrical black stockings, began to sway slightly. She and her raven Oz immediately followed Draff and the others without hesitation.

The rest of the temporary adventure team followed closely behind.

Leaving the hunters to face these monsters alone would be too dangerous.

Not long after,

The group of people arrived at a small hill where they could observe the road below. They clearly saw a huge wolf-like creature hovering in the air with several smaller companions swaying in the grass by the roadside.

"Yes, those are the strange wolves from Wolvendom!"

Bennett revealed a look of still having some second thoughts, the sword he had used for a long time was damaged by this kind of creature.

"Appearing near Springvale, for the safety of the townsfolk, we must clear them out!" The hunter who had been excited and looked younger earlier was once again stirred up. One of the two injured yesterday was his younger brother.

He wanted to avenge his brother!

"Unfortunately, we have no choice. With our numbers, as long as we use our bows and arrows to maintain enough distance, defeating them shouldn't be difficult," Draff nodded helplessly. He began instructing the six or seven hunters present to prepare for the attack.

"Wait!"

Nolan was slightly puzzled when he heard Draff's words, didn't they know that these "Bleeding Wolfs" could move instantaneously?

In the field of vision of his Golden Eye of Judgment, those Rift Wolfs were shown to be only level 20 or so, and Draff and his group might barely be able to handle them. But the leader, the Rifthound, was level forty.s level 40.

With its ability to traverse space, a swipe from it would mean certain death for ordinary people, even without the "bleeding" effect.

"What's wrong?" Draff said with some doubt.

Nolan explained, "I have a special ability to see that they are very strong, beyond what you can handle. So let us handle it!"

"Chief, this..."

A slightly plump hunter looked at Nolan, then at Draff.

He clearly saw that most of the people here had the Vision and were definitely much stronger than them.

If this adventure team was willing to help, it would be great.

After a moment of contemplation, Draff nodded. Nolan's and Lumine's defeating of the Stromterror and becoming Honorary Knights had already spread throughout Mondstadt.

He was long gone from the young apprentice who had followed him to learn archery some time ago.

Isn't this growth speed a bit unbelievable?

While Draff was thinking this, his eyes caught a glimpse of the fiery red glass ball hanging around his neck.

So he's obtained a Vision. That explains it.

The hunters, upon hearing that Nolan and the others were willing to intervene, acknowledged their own insufficient strength and didn't hesitate.

"Hehe, while these monsters haven't noticed us yet, we can launch a surprise attack and see if we can heavily damage that big guy!"

Paimon pointed his index finger at the Rifthound in the distance, her starry eyes twinkling as she spoke.

"Oh, Paimon's idea is quite constructive. I'm sure Nolan is thinking the same thing right now," Night Raven Oz chuckled, knowing Nolan's combat style well from their adventures together.

That is, strike first with a surprise attack, and if you can't win, carry the team and run away together!

"Uh that's right, I've already seen that wolf-like monster has an old wound on its back spine, later on Her Royal Highness can aim to attack there."

Nolan nodded.

He reiterated the fact that he could see weaknesses with his eyes, and quickly prepared to attack with Fischl, who was also an archer.

During this time, Bennett asked if they needed him to activate his Elemental Burst to boost their power.

Nolan thought about it and felt that it would be better to keep his ultimate ability, just in case anyone was scratched by the "bleeding dog", it would be troublesome if it was not healed in time.

Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Attraction

Using his gaming memories to understand the Rifthound's attack habits, Nolan urged Draff and the others to retreat a bit to avoid being affected by their counterattacks later.

As Fischl's lightning-element arrow cut through the air in a graceful arc, just about to hit the Rifthound, Nolan's fire-element arrow flew out first.

The weak points on the RiftHound's back, as discovered by the Golden Eye of Judgment, were sequentially hit by the fire and lightning elemental arrows.

This caused damage from both fire and lightning elements, and the subsequent overload reaction blasted it back.

The RiftHound couldn't help but howl, indicating that it was seriously injured.

Although Nolan had a minor damage bonus specialty [Monster Slayer], as well as the boost from the artifact set effect, he couldn't defeat a monster ten levels higher than himself with a single strike.

Even with Fischl's assistance in triggering Overload, it was the same.

If it were Abyss Mages who hadn't activated their elemental shields yet, they could be taken down relatively easily; after all, without their shields, they were truly weak.

Perhaps the elemental shield was their true form.

"Everyone, be careful, they're coming!" Nolan's mind was filled with thoughts as he also kept an eye on the movements of the creatures.

RiftHound and Rifthound Whelps paid attention to Nolan and the others on the small hill as they were being attacked.

Suddenly, without warning, they disappeared from their original positions.

According to Nolan's memory, they would reappear behind everyone and launch a surprise attack.

"They might appear from behind, everyone, get out of the way!"

Despite being somewhat surprised by the sudden disappearance of these wolf-like creatures, everyone present had ample combat experience and didn't panic.

After Nolan's reminder, they quickly realized the likelihood of this happening.

So they quickly backed away, and the next moment, these creatures indeed appeared in the air above where they had originally stood, their sharp claws instantly striking down.

But unfortunately, they missed.

Nolan didn't miss this opportunity. He put away his Adventurer Hunting Bow and quickly switched to the Dull Blade, instantly releasing the fire element from the Delusion and attaching it to the RiftHound's forehead with a max-level sword technique.

Also launching an attack was Bennett, who was about to use his Elemental Burst when suddenly his foot slipped on the grass and he fell to the ground.

As expected, his unlucky constitution had just been triggered.

Seeing this, Oz quickly stepped in and spat out a Thundering Magic Bullet to make up for the missing attack.

Then, Lumine, with her fair palm, conjured a rapidly spinning vortex of wind. With soft, rosy lips parted, she shouted:

"Wind Vortex Sword!"

The fire element attached to the RiftHound instantly spread to the other creatures.

The heavily injured RiftHound and several weak Rifthound Whelps couldn't hold on for long.

As the monsters were defeated, the prompt for gaining Adventure EXP popped up. Nolan had defeated the RiftHound, gaining over 1700 Adventure EXP.

The others, defeated by Lumine, didn't receive many experience points due to their lower levels.

And this part, he could only get one-third of it, so it's only a little over two thousand Adventure EXP.

"Amazing, the cooperation between you all was absolutely splendid!" Draff and the hunters applauded.

"Hehe, it's nothing much!" Paimon smiled, as if basking in the praise.

"Um, Mr. Draff, actually, the Adventurer's Guild is already aware of the abnormal situation in the Wolvendom Territory. We're the ones who accepted the commission to investigate," Nolan explained.

"Since they've already appeared near Springvale Town, it's conceivable that there will be more inside Wolvendom Territory. Recently, it's better for you not to hunt there. Let the Adventurer's Guild handle the matter first," he advised.

"Hmm, of course," said Draff, dressed in hunter attire, crossing his arms and nodding.

Lumine's golden hair fluttered in the breeze as she remembered their purpose for coming here and asked, "By the way, Mr. Draff, when your hunting team returned from Wolvendom yesterday, did they notice where these creatures emerged from?"

Draff hadn't gone hunting yesterday, so he thought for a moment before replying, "We don't know exactly where they came from. But according to the injured hunters, they encountered these unfamiliar creatures in the WolfHook Fruit Forest of Wolvendom Territory. You can go there to see if there are any other clues."

"Huh, it's not far from where I encountered them," remarked Bennett, rubbing his nose somewhat unexpectedly. He had just taken a tumble for no apparent reason, landing right on his nose.

"Oh, that's quite a coincidence. Then let's go there first and take a look. Perhaps we'll find some clues," suggested Oz, flapping his Night Raven wings.

"Nothing can escape the gaze of this princess's Great Illusionary Dream All-Seeing Eye of Madness!"

Fischl raised her right hand, covering her left eye with the black eye patch, striking a handsome pose.

Next, the temporary adventure team continued on toward the Wolvendom.

As for the bodies of the Beast Domain creatures on the ground...

Nolan asked Mr. Draff and the other hunters to take the bodies to the Adventurer's Guild and the Knights of Favonius for further examination. Perhaps they would make some discoveries.

He didn't know much about the "Bleeding Wolfs" himself.

They seemed to have been created by the renowned Mondstadt alchemist, Albedo's mentor, "Gold" Rhinedottir, using alchemy combined with powers from beyond the world.

With an ability called "Erosion," which is why their attacks cause bleeding.

And their instinct is to dissolve the boundaries of the world and traverse space, which is also why they are so dangerous.

In short, they were a very dangerous group of creatures.

Wolvendom.

By the time they arrived, it was almost dark, and continuing to move would be unwise.

They first set up a tripod on a relatively open grassland, with a cauldron hanging in the middle containing a black bass, and the boiling soup turned milky white.

At the same time, they erected four tents side by side, with Nolan also setting up a small bonfire rack made of wood on the outer perimeter.

The burning flames illuminated the darkness around them and kept the usual wild beasts at bay.

Of course, this was only for ordinary beasts, as it was now.

A group of Rifthounds, capable of flying like Paimon, stared at the approaching group, their numbers much greater than those encountered in Springvale Town.

There were already three Rifthounds alone, and over ten Rifthound Whelps.

"We've only been here for a short time. Why did they find us so quickly and gather so many companions to surround us?!" Paimon exclaimed, looking surprised.

Bennett scratched his ash-blond hair, speculating, "I heard from the old folks that dogs and wolves are the same kind of creatures, with very keen noses. I think these black wolf packs are the same. Perhaps they smelled the scent of their dead kin on us and came seeking revenge."

Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Cunning Riftwolfs Pack

According to Bennett, it wasn't impossible.

Otherwise, there was no other explanation. After all, they were still on the edge of Wovelndom, and the camping spot was so open and empty.

According to the habits of creatures, they shouldn't choose to settle near such an environment. There were too few hiding places and they could easily be discovered by enemies.

"Everyone be careful, they might be about to attack."

Lumine said, her legs apart, wearing knee-high boots, and her body slightly lowered in a defensive stance.

The snow-white thighs revealed under the diagonal hem of her skirt seemed to tighten slightly as well.

This group of Otherworldly Creatures, led by the three RiftHounds in the lead, like hunters closing in on their prey, approached the members of the temporary adventure team step by step.

"This isn't going to work. There are so many of them. What should we do? It feels like we might not be able to handle it," Paimon said, her face full of worry, hiding behind Lumine.

"It is indeed troublesome. Those big black wolves are no weaker than the one we encountered earlier," Nolan said.

Although his eye of judgment was golden, it didn't shine in the darkness. After all, he wasn't some kind of feline with glowing eyes.

At this moment, among the attacking creatures, one of the Rifthounds, along with several whelps, dissolved the boundaries of the world and traversed deeper layers of space, while the others remained motionless.

"No way, they're so cunning?!"

Seeing this situation, Nolan couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

At the same time, everyone had experienced this situation before. The five of them quickly left their original positions, and sure enough, a black wolf suddenly appeared above their original location, its claws swinging down.

Seeing it miss, Nolan hadn't even breathed a sigh of relief when several Riftwolf Whelps suddenly appeared beside him, their mouths full of sharp teeth ready to bite.

Nolan raised an eyebrow, instantly releasing the fire elemental to attach to the Dull Blade from his Delusion.

Using the extraordinary property of his swordsmanship, "Boundary of Stillwind," he easily sensed the airflow movements around him.

After dodging the whelps' attacks, he seized the opportunity to stab the fire-element-attached long sword into the bright weak spot under one whelp's jaw, piercing straight through its skull.

[Defeated A Powerful Enemy, Obtained 435 Adventure EXP.]

As the prompt popped up on the character panel, it proved that it was as dead as dead could be.

"Attendant, be careful!"

As the Rifthounds attacked the adventure team, scattering them, the other Rift creatures split into several groups and attacked the others.

These creatures with wolf-like habits are truly disgusting in their cunning!

Fischl, with a ready thunder elemental arrow, was about to shoot at the incoming young beast when, out of the corner of her eye, she silently spotted a huge black wolf behind Nolan.

Quickly alerting them, she redirected her arrow towards the target while firing.

Sensing the exposed vulnerability of the Rifthound Whelp, it immediately lunged towards her arm.

When Fischl felt something was amiss and turned around, it was already too late!

"Miss!"

Oz, shimmering with lightning, like a spinning drill, rushed into the mouth of the Rifthound Whelp, tearing it apart.

Just as Fischl breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her calf.

Another Rifthound Whelp appeared from behind her, instantly biting the defenseless Fischl, eliciting a painful whimper from her soft lips.

Her entire body tingled with lightning, paralyzing the Rifthound Whelp biting her calf.

Biting her lip, Fischl instantly attached lightning elemental to the arrow in her hand and released it at the Rifthound Whelp beneath her foot.

It had no chance to evade. The arrow of lightning, shot at close range, left its final consciousness forever shrouded in purple.

Although the Rifthound Whelp had died and slipped off Fischl's leg, wrapped in her thigh-high black stockings, the "corrosive" force caused the wound it had bitten to continue oozing fresh red blood.

Nolan, hearing Fischl's warning, immediately moved away from his original position. A Rifthound had just emerged from the deep space, without causing any disturbance in the surrounding air.

This caused him to miss it at first, but the following thunder elemental arrow sent it back into the deep space.

Seeing Fischl injured, Nolan was suddenly alarmed. This could be bad if not treated promptly!

With anger rising in his heart, the fire elemental attached to his Dull Blade became fiercer.

Using his full-level swordsmanship, he quickly killed two Rifthound Whelp besieging him, swiftly running towards Fischl's direction, shouting to Lumine and Bennett:

"Everyone, come over quickly! These guys want to pick us off one by one!"

Lumine planted her Dull Blade in the grass, slowly breathing out a sigh of relief from her moist lips.

The golden tips of her hair were slightly stuck together with sweat.

Her amber eyes stared at the RIfthounds and Rifthound Whelps in front of her, daring not to move recklessly, lest she reveal a flaw.

Her backless dress had been slashed open across her abdomen at some point, revealing glimpses of the snowy white skin and navel beneath.

With both sides evenly matched, it wasn't easy to fight. Suddenly, Lumine's Dull Blade whipped up a whirlwind, shattering the soil below and sweeping towards the Rifthounds.

Seizing the moment when the Rift creatures diverted their gaze, she swiftly retreated towards Nolan and Fischl.

Bennett's side of the encounter was more dangerous. Not only did he have a Rifthound Whelp hanging from each of his feet, he also had another one on his left shoulder, biting and not moving.

With his right hand holding an unrepaired dark steel sword, he also had to deal with the Rifthound Whelp in front of him.

Near the entire campsite, several RIfthounds lurked in the deep space, ready to emerge and ambush at any moment. They seemed even more cunning than the intelligent Abyss Mages!

Seeing Bennett's predicament, Nolan quickly drew his adventurer's hunting bow and continuously shot arrows with fire elemental attached at the Rifthound Whelps biting him.

With the "Silent and Shadowless" feature, the arrows seemed to ignore distance, accurately piercing their foreheads the next moment.

Adventure EXP +426

Adventure EXP +399

Adventure EXP +501

Freed from danger, Bennett unleashed his elemental burst "Passion Overload", piercing through the Rifthound Whelp in front of him, swiftly running over to reunite with the others.

At this moment, among the Rift Monster, the three Rifthounds were still there, they also resurfaced in the deep space and appeared, staring at the several people with fierce gazes.

The rest of the Rifthound Whelp had been killed by the group, leaving only four or five remaining.

Overall, their numerical advantage wasn't as significant anymore.

"Bennett, you look pretty badly injured!"

Lumine looked at Bennett's wounds with some concern.

"Haha, it's fine, I'm used to it all." Bennett rubbed the back of his head, revealing a smile, and said, "But it's time for us to fight back next!"

"Setbacks, adversity, wounds - they're all part of the 'glorious journey' to becoming great adventurers!"

With renewed determination, he jumped up in place, and then slammed his fist into the ground. A fiery red light spread across the grassy ground, forming a cheering domain with a pattern resembling a "thumbs-up" gesture.

Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Razor

On the outskirts of the Wolvendom, at the temporary campsite.

Nolan and the others stood within Bennett's elemental burst domain, feeling their strength increase significantly.

Fischl's continuously bleeding wounds from the erosion power were quickly healed, leaving only torn stockings on her calves, revealing glimpses of snowy white skin.

After all, the power of erosion was limited, and it soon depleted as time passed.

Bennett, who was more seriously injured, experienced the same, his body instantly restored to full health.

"..."

The Rift Monsters were slightly silent when they saw this situation.

They had exerted so much effort to injure just two of them, and now, inexplicably, they were healed?!

This instinctively enraged them, and the Rift creatures immediately sank into the deep space to shuttle through the boundaries of the world.

Nolan and the others didn't dodge this time, after all, there was no way to get a power boost if they left Bennett's Elemental Brust.

"Oz, be on guard!"

Fischl's purple-black skirt fluttered silently in the gentle breeze, revealing the snowy white skin beneath her black semi-transparent stockings.

"Understood, Miss." Oz, who flapped his night-colored wings, hovered above the group, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

Before long, the Rift creatures suddenly appeared beside them.

Nolan, who had already prepared for this, once again attached the fire element to the Dull Blade, and used the heavy strike technique of swordsmanship to continuously strike twice, slashing through the air and landing on the head of the Rifthound.

The burning flames and the cutting edge brought intense pain to the Beast Domain hound, eliciting a fierce howl.

Oz, who hovering above them, saw the right moment to continuously shoot out Thunder Magic Bullets to hit the Rift creature that Nolan had wounded, drowning it in a combination of lightning elemental attacks and explosive overload reactions.

"Bursting Passion Overload - Second Stage Heavy Strike!"

Bennett slightly charged up his elemental skill, sweeping towards another Rifthound and the remaining Rifthound Whelps. Under the Boost of his Elemental Brust, the tremendous power instantly crippled them and pushed them back.

Lumine, wearing knee-high white boots that revealed her snowy thighs, gracefully turned and executed a "Wind Whirlwind Kick," sweeping towards them!

Fischl, with her golden silky long hair, aimed a thunder-element-infused arrow into the tornado formed by the wind element.

In less than a second, the green tornado was instantly dyed purple by the thunderous vortex.

The thunder vortex advanced in a straight line, sucking in all the Rift creatures along the way, continuously inflicting elemental damage.

[Your Teammate Defeated Powerful Enemies * 6, Obtained 1324 Adventure EXP.]

As Lumine defeated a Rifthound and the remaining Rifthound Whelps, there were only two Rifthounds left in the camp, one of which was severely injured by Nolan and Oz.

But it was also at this moment that Bennett's Elemental Burst duration ended, and the power boost for everyone gradually faded away.

However, their current physical condition was at its peak in all aspects, fully capable of dealing with these two Rifthounds.

"Oh no, oh no, I see more wolves coming!" Paimon, flying high to avoid the battle, saw many black shadows quickly approaching from the distant woods.

"Ah it can't be that unlucky!" Bennett's enthusiasm suddenly cooled a bit.

He began to suspect if his bad luck had attracted the wolf pack.

"Wait, something's not right!" Paimon, dressed in all white, put her hand to her forehead and looked out, then said with some confusion, "They seem to be real wolves, not those dark guys!"

"Phew~ That's a relief, just ordinary beasts then." Bennett breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Paimon's words.

"But ordinary beasts would have fled upon sensing the aura of monsters, why are they still coming this way?" He scratched his head, puzzled.

"Maybe they're different somehow," Nolan said, understanding the situation.

He sheathed his Dull Blade, switched to the adventurer's hunting bow, infused the arrows with fire elemental, and continued to aim at the already severely injured Rifthound.

Now, in Nolan's golden eyes, there were bright weak points all over its body.

In other words, its life was already like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished with a breath.

A few seconds later, arrows imbued with fire elemental struck its head one after another, ending its wicked life.

[Defeated A Powerful Enemy, Obtained 1775 Adventure EXP.]

The remaining Rifthound, sensing the danger, instinctively wanted to shuttle through space to escape. Nolan attempted to stop it, not wasting time to infuse elemental power into the arrow.

Arrow after arrow was swiftly shot out, launching the already limited number of armor-piercing arrows.

Fortunately, although it didn't have the same powerful attack as fire-element-infused ones, under the various effects of specialties, artifacts, and the like, the damage it caused was not to be underestimated.

The pain in its body made it unable to concentrate on using the "Erosion" power to dissolve the world's boundaries and enter the deep space.

As a gregarious creature, the more companions there were, the bolder it became.

If it still had companions, it might have fought ferociously, but when it was left alone, it preferred to fly higher to escape the humans' attack range.

Its idea was good, just as the Rifthound wanted to fly higher.

Two fiercely aggressive wild wolves suddenly darted out and leaped up, biting its tail!

The sudden attack made the Rifthound's body sink, and when it turned its head, it found that it was just two local wolves that they had driven away, trying to bite it.

A figure flashing with lightning suddenly leaped onto the Rifthound's head.

"Owww!"

He emitted a wolf-like cry, his hands wrapped in lightning transformed into claws, stabbing into its eyeballs, and riding on its back.

"Hey, who's that?"

Bennett looked at someone who actually pulled down the fierce wolf-like creature, somewhat surprised.

"Wolf boy?"

Fischl, after seeing the appearance of the newcomer, showed a surprised expression on her fair face.

There had always been rumors of a boy in Mondstadt who lived with wolves. Of course, she remembered such a story so similar to a fantasy novel.

So now, seeing the boy in front of her pulling down the creature with two wolves, she also thought of that rumor.

Sure enough, it was Razor.

Nolan looked at the wild boy with gray hair wearing a hood not far away, pondering.

In the game storyline introduction, Razor, the wolf boy, lived in the Wolvendom and lived with wolves. The appearance of the Rift Monsters must have also affected them.

So it was not surprising that he found out that Rift creatures were ravaging here and would come over to help.

He watched as the Rifthound was about to be killed, restraining the urge to intervene to avoid being misunderstood by this wolf boy and the two wolves.

Not long after, Razor got up from the motionless Rifthound.

His wild and fierce expression softened, and he looked at the adventurers, speaking hesitantly as if still not fluent:

"Thank you, you, fight, them, why, come, here?"

Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Secret Arts Level Skill

"Hehe, we are the adventurer team investigating these creatures!"

Paimon floated down from high in the sky and replied lazily.

"Understood."

Razor, with his gray hair, nodded, and the two wolves approached him, one on each side, licking his hand.

"So, why are you here? And why are you helping us?" Paimon asked, somewhat puzzled, with her hands behind her back.

"I Razor... and... Lupus... live here." Razor touched the heads of the two wolves and said.

"Lupus? Is that the name of a wolf?" Paimon asked, shifting her feet, clad in little boots, back and forth in the air and tilting her head to the side.

"Yes... they, family."

Razor looked at the two gray wolves, who appeared to be young, with gentle eyes.

"Oh, miss, it seems the rumors were true. There really is a wolf boy in Wolvendom," Oz, flapping his wings, said.

"It does make this princess a bit surprised."

Fischl, with her hands crossed under her chest wrapped in a black fishnet-patterned undershirt, nodded slightly.

"Foreign monsters... disturb... the peace... here." Razor said haltingly, "I want... to... be with... you."

"You mean you want to help us investigate those creatures together?" Lumine, with two pretty white flowers pinned in her golden hair, asked.

"Um-Um, Yes." Razor nodded succinctly.

"Hehe, that's great, one more person, one more power." " Paimon clapped her hands, showing a happy expression.

"Not... one person, also Lupus... them." Razor rubbed the heads of the two wolves by his feet and said.

Nolan pondered for a moment and asked, "Razor, since you have been living here, have you found out where they are distributed?"

As gregarious creatures, Rift monsters must be clustered together. If they were to investigate them, they would have to find them first. Not like just now, when they came looking for them, but actively seeking out their nests.

After all, the danger of them was something that the Adventure Team had already learned just now.

After reporting to the Adventurer's Guild and the Knights of Favonius, they would most likely conduct a large-scale cleanup of Wolvendom.

Even if they couldn't completely eradicate them, they would control them within a certain safe number.

Otherwise, letting them expand wantonly in Wolvendom would eventually endanger the residents of Mondstadt.

So Nolan's next task for them was to investigate roughly their number and location.

And why these creatures appeared in Wolvendom is also something worth noting.

"Lupus... can... smell them," Razor said without hesitation.

"So, you mean they also have a keen sense of smell. We might be surrounded by them before we even get close," Paimon said, spreading her hands in resignation.

"..."

Razor was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Hehe, it's simple. Just collect some herbs, crush them to extract the juice, and apply it to your body to mask most of the scent," Bennett, showing his expertise as an experienced adventurer, offered a very constructive suggestion.

The girls all widened their eyes at once.

"No way! Paimon doesn't want to smell all stinky!" Paimon exclaimed, hands on her hips, shaking her head.

Fischl's purple-black skirt fluttered slightly in the wind, revealing her snow-white thighs clad in over-the-knee black stockings on the left side, which seemed to blush under the glow of the fire.

She covered her mouth and coughed lightly before saying, "This princess also finds this matter somewhat inappropriate."

Encounters like this were quite common for adventurers, but it didn't matter when faced alone. However, presenting oneself in such a sorry state in front of others did tarnish the princess's dignity.

Wearing a white dress with a slit in the abdomen, Lumine hugged her chest silently nodded, then pondered for a moment and sighed helplessly, "If there's really no other way, then so be it."

"Or let me go. I have stealth skills, so the chance of being detected is smaller," Nolan said with a slight smile.

"Oh, right, Sir Nolan indeed possesses very powerful stealth skills."

Oz, who flapped his night-colored wings, nodded and said.

"But if you go alone, what if you're accidentally discovered? Then you won't be able to escape," Paimon expressed some concern between her eyebrows.

"Don't worry, I won't get too close to those black wolf packs, and you can support me nearby," Nolan said, shaking his head.

He was confident mainly because the battle just now had earned him a lot of Adventure EXP points, enough to max out his stealth skill.

[Adventure EXP:9534]

With over 9,000 Adventure EXP, he had more than enough to upgrade two skills.

"Great, then we'll rely on you, Nolan." Bennett knew himself very well; if he went along, even the most perfect plan might inexplicably fail.

So, it was best to stay away from Nolan and support him from outside, which was indeed the best choice.

Lumine and Fischl also breathed a sigh of relief. As girls, they were a bit resistant to the idea of applying grass juice.

[Lumine Has Developed Good Feelings Towards You, Obtained 180 Affection Points. Current Affection Level Lv.5 (215/500)]

...

After discussing the strategy for tomorrow's operation, they began to clean up the battlefield.

In fact, it was mainly Razor and Lupus who found the Riftwolfs, and then Nolan would stealthily go to investigate.

Overall, it was quite a simple plan.

While cleaning up the battlefield, the members of the adventure team noticed that the claws of these creatures seemed to be of good quality, possessing extraordinary strength. They could probably be sold for a good price as materials for forging or alchemy.

Once everything was settled, they began to pack up their things and prepare to find a new camping spot for safety.

After all, the original campsite was a bit unsafe.

During the process of moving the camp, Nolan opened his character panel and began to prepare to enhance his strength.

He decided not to level up this time since even with a three-level increase, he wouldn't be able to roam freely in Wolvendom.

First, he needed to upgrade his "Stealth Assassination Technique." At level 4, it only provided ten minutes of invisibility, which was not enough.

Adventure EXP -3900

Stealth Assassination Technique Lv.4 (0/400) Concealment Mastery · Secret Arts Lv.1 (0/1000).

As new knowledge appeared in his mind, Nolan was surprised to find that this Stealth Assassination Technique had evolved from a common level to a secret arts level!

Perhaps it was because it had the extraordinary characteristic of "stealth invisibility".

It doesn't need to be leveled up like other ordinary skills to derive extraordinary characteristics, so it directly "transformed" and evolved at max level.

Nolan thought to himself with some surprise.

Now, in addition to optical invisibility, this skill also had the effects of concealing one's presence and moving silently, with the duration extended to one hour.

This way, he didn't have to go through the trouble of applying green grass to cover his scent.

The only downside was that the level of the skill has not only reset, but the amount of Adventure EXP required for each level has also increased.
