" Goodwin?"
Glory's words immediately broke down Goodwin's defenses, who hadn't seen his lover for a long time.
Goodwin embraced Glory, who had regained her sight, and burst into tears.
Seeing the scene between the two, Jiang Xiaofeng nodded slightly to Glory, who looked like she was asking for help, and then instantly teleported away.
Glory was left alone to try and comfort her boyfriend, who had finally returned to Mondstadt.
Yes, the daily quests that Traveler can do will be reduced by one.
Jiang Xiaofeng was teleported into the hands of the Anemo Archon statue.
Looking down at Mondstadt City, Jiang Xiaofeng felt nothing.
" Varka's problem is harmless, and Mondstadt has many other problems it can exploit."
"The only ones we need to worry about are that lazy wind Anemo Archon and his retinue of sea slugs."
"Even Lord Diluc has better methods for turning people against him..."
Jiang Xiaofeng sighed.
If I were to go into seclusion for a hundred years, I could fully comprehend the power of the Void Heart once more and further develop its potential...
Even Venti could turn the tables on him.
But that would take too long a time span.
That would be pointless.
Therefore, Jiang Xiaofeng decided to resolve the Mondstadt issue within this timeframe.
As he thought this, Void Power seeped from beneath Jiang Xiaofeng's feet, seeping into Anemo Archon earth beneath the Mondstadt statue and slowly expanding throughout Mondstadt...
Mondstadt's biggest problem isn't its diplomacy with the Fatui, but rather the existence of the god Venti.
The Mondstadt people always believed that their Anemo Archon was still alive and could still perform miracles to save them... save my ass.
Unless a Traveler intervenes, Venti won't care.
However, it cannot be denied that the Anemo Archon does occasionally perform miracles, keeping the Mondstadt people in the dream that the Anemo Archon will still save them.
They're like a bunch of overgrown babies.
Mondstadt has neither entered an era of human rule like Liyue, nor has it had a native god as its strongest fighting force like Inazuma, nor does it have an "official" entity with a transcendent status within its territory like the Sumeru Akademiya.
What does Mondstadt have?
An ageless witch who has been away from Mondstadt for a long time, a Witch of the Purple Rose who cannot act freely, a scheming Khaenri'ah, a Darknight Hero who guards Mondstadt alone, a mentally immature strongest warrior in Mondstadt, and a Gundam.
This kind of combat power is found in Liyue 'Liyue Qixing, Inazuma's Tri-Commission, Sumeru... I don't know, but it's definitely the Akademiya.
Above that are the Anemo Archon and the Stormterror.
Liyue has immortals cleaning up their messes and the Emperor protecting them;
Inazuma has Yae Miko, Raiden Shogun with peak martial arts skills, and Raiden Ei.
Sumeru did not know.
Compared to this...
If the " Black Tide " from hundreds of years ago were to happen again, Mondstadt would definitely be the first to fail.
Not to mention that Mondstadt is currently being pressured by the Snezhnaya and is at a complete disadvantage diplomatically.
If it weren't for the Traveler's unexpected appearance, Stormterror would have become the Doctor's research subject long ago.
Jiang Xiaofeng sensed the several secret passages beneath Mondstadt and smiled.
"So not all Mondstadt people are idiots after all."
Jiang Xiaofeng's figure slowly disappeared...
Early the next morning.
Jiang Xiaofeng appeared behind the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius.
As expected, Ellin swung her sword here day after day, trying to climb up and smash the surrounding wooden stakes.
Jiang Xiaofeng watched Ellin practice from above and shook his head.
Ellin has no shortage of dreams, nor does she lack perseverance.
What she lacks is hardware.
Not everyone is a humanoid Gundam like Noelle, nor does everyone Vision to drive Elemental Power.
Undeniably, Noelle is very strong even without the Vision, and the same goes for Acting Leader Jean.
But Ellin...
Jiang Xiaofeng sighed.
Isn't this just another Teppei?
Although he didn't explicitly say he wanted a Vision, his words implied that he needed "skill," and the wooden stakes were even arranged with three on the left and three on the right.
In this situation, unless Ellin swings her greatsword, she can only rely on her stamina to run back and forth, trying to hit all the wooden stakes at once.
Given Ellin's current physical condition... it's absolutely impossible.
but...
Jiang Xiaofeng really admires this kind of persistent believer.
He also needs such believers to help him spread his word.
Given a Mondstadt resident encountering a god willing to help them, and another god who doesn't respond to repeated prayers, which would they feel more favorably towards?
Undeniably, Mondstadt will have loyal followers. But to put it bluntly, self-interest is the primary concern.
But... what does this have to do with Jiang Xiaofeng?
Everything Jiang Xiaofeng is doing now is just for fun.
Ideally, Mondstadt should be controlled Blood Sword.
Even if it's not possible, if a fight really breaks out...
Jiang Xiaofeng thought about the monsters on the island in the world of Dead Cells.
Whether in caves or castles, the monsters in both places are extremely powerful.
Jiang Xiaofeng only needs to go back once in his spare time...
Jiang Xiaofeng stopped daydreaming and jumped.
"Boom--"
Jiang Xiaofeng Jiang Xiaofeng to the ground with a thud, causing the surrounding ground to ripple.
"Who are you?!"
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at Ellin, who was holding a wooden sword at him, and smiled.
Want to become stronger?
"What?"
Ellin clearly didn't understand what Jiang Xiaofeng was trying to say.
"Watch closely."
Jiang Xiaofeng raised his hand, and a long sword appeared in his hand.
Jiang Xiaofeng swung his sword, and a black sword aura shattered several wooden stakes.
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the shocked Ellin and spoke.
Do you want this power?
"This isn't the kind of power the Vision possesses."
"If you gain this power, you can try to forge your own path."
Jiang Xiaofeng smiled...
After a while, Jiang Xiaofeng left the training ground of the Knights of Favonius.
Ellin was left behind, enthusiastically experimenting with her new powers.
"Whispering sound."
Jiang Xiaofeng chuckled.
"Even if you say no, your body tells a different story when you actually get it."
Jiang Xiaofeng calmly opened the Starry Sky Gate and left.
"This must be it."
Jiang Xiaofeng left the library where the Knights of Favonius kept their records and was teleported to a trade route far from Mondstadt City.
"Judging from this location, this should be the place where Diluc's father died in the story."
Jiang Xiaofeng squinted, looking at Mondstadt City, which seemed to be built on a protruding mountain peak in the distance, and confirmed its location.
"Yes, this is it."
Jiang Xiaofeng clapped his hands together and slapped them onto the soft ground.
Jiang Xiaofeng continuously stole and extracted the memories from the Ley Line, causing the dead to reappear in the world...
Jiang Xiaofeng examined the illusory figure before him and spoke.
"Are they from the Ragnvindr Clan?"
The ethereal voice was somewhat faint. "Are you here to take me away? I'm ready..."
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
You probably think I'm some kind of vengeful ghost.
Jiang Xiaofeng raised his hand and placed it on the illusory figure's head, rapidly channeling his Void Power into it.
After a series of screams...
"You are my resurrection, do me a favor, okay?"
"Go and see Diluc, try to put him at ease a little."
"You know, after you died, his relationship with Kaeya became much more complicated..."
Jiang Xiaofeng squatted down, looked at the middle-aged man with red hair and a red beard lying on the ground, and said calmly.
