Bleed Enough and It Won't Be Awkward (Continued)
After that, Qin looked at Lisa with utter helplessness.
"You should teach her something outside of academics sometimes. It seems like she's finding it even harder to integrate into the normal world since she started following you. Look, she even took out her Mora to apologize."
"I think it's fine. Scholars should be focused, and she's still a child; she doesn't need to know so many complicated things. As for how to protect her, that's a problem for the Knights to consider."
"Lisa, you... sigh, never mind. Fortunately, the God of Wind is merciful and let Anqi apologize properly, so it shouldn't be a big problem. The question now is, is Venti the mastermind behind this, and what exactly does he want?"
Qin's expression turned serious.
Half an hour later, news of Ying and Paimon's capture and escape, along with Venti's information, were submitted. Jean flipped through the documents, her expression growing even more grave.
"His origins are unknown, he appeared out of nowhere, and there are no records of him entering or leaving the city, let alone at the border. It's like... he can appear anywhere in Mondstadt City at any time!?"
Qin gasped.
With the Abyss Order incident preceding it, the sudden appearance of an elusive and mysterious figure in Mondstadt City who orchestrated the destruction of the Temple of the Four Winds is chilling to contemplate.
Could this be a new conspiracy by the Abyss Order?
As the acting Grand Master of the Knights, Jean knew that the Temple of the Four Winds was not only of great symbolic significance, but also contained extremely powerful energy that was of substantial importance to stabilizing Mondstadt's Ley Line and Elemental Power environment.
Could it be that the Abyss Order is after this power?
Qin frowned deeply and asked:
When did he disappear without a trace?
"It was probably shortly after Electro Archon's letter arrived."
"In other words, the time of the crime basically overlaps with that of the suspect who destroyed the temple. Did he flee to evade punishment?"
"Perhaps they've already achieved some goal and are therefore able to escape in time. Should we issue a warrant for their arrest, Master Jean?"
Kaeya stroked his chin and asked solemnly.
Qin was reminded of many things, Kaeya naturally thought even more of her own background and homeland.
In short, anything related to the Abyss, even if it's just a possibility, is extremely glaring to Mondstadt, which has just been attacked, and no one can ignore it.
"Issue them all, let's catch them first."
"Yes!"
"Rosaliya will cooperate with you. Kaeya, this matter can only be entrusted to you. We must come up with a result as soon as possible... The Temple of the Four Winds was breached without our knowledge. The Knights have failed in their God of Wind an explanation before He returns from Inazuma."
"Yes, Master Jean!"
The Knights of Favonius classified the incident as a possible terrorist attack involving the Abyss Order and began a full-scale investigation.
Wanted: Traveler Luminous, a powerful swordsman skilled in swordsmanship, capable of wielding Anemo Elemental Power, and carrying dangerous alchemical artifacts. Bounty: 500,000 Mora.
Wanted: Paimon, the flying pet. Bounty: 50,000 Mora.
Wanted: Venti, the bard, wielder of the Vision, suspected of possessing unusual movement abilities; strength unknown. Bounty: 1 million Mora.
At this time, Venti had just returned from a trip overseas.
Listening to the message carried on the wind, he stood on the shore of Mondstadt, blinking in bewilderment.
"Huh?"
