They rushed out of a forest, where the giant dragon had crushed all the trees in front of them. Their view opened up, and the three of them were immediately stunned by what they saw.
The mighty azure dragon lay prostrate on the ground, its massive head extended, a pair of horns pointing backward, its azure eyes radiating ferocity, and its entire body shrouded in a black aura, making it extremely frightening.
A young man stood in front of the dragon head.
The young man reached out and gently stroked the dragon's head, trying to soothe it.
Surprisingly, the terrifying dragon did not attack the young man.
"Is that your teacher?" Paimon asked, his little mouth agape.
Roar!
The sound startled the dragon, which had been calm just moments before. It immediately raised its head and roared, then flapped its wings and soared into the sky, creating a hurricane before disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Su Chen turned around and then realized that Arya... there were three of them?
"fluorescent?"
Su Chen looked strange.
Is this just part of the plot? Is it inevitable that I'll encounter the blonde girl if I comfort Dvalin in Whispering Wood?
The difference is that in the story it was Wendy, but now it's him.
But Su Chen hadn't really thought that he was just here to find Dvalin, because according to intelligence analysis, Dvalin would always wander around this area whenever he appeared near Mondstadt.
He had been thinking of giving it a try, since Dvalin clearly remembered him from his reaction earlier, but this reunion was disrupted by an unexpected turn of events.
"T-Teacher, are you alright?" Arya ran over anxiously.
"It's nothing." Su Chen nodded slightly. "Who are they?"
"Oh, this is the traveler, and this is Paimon. We met here on our way here."
Arya briefly explained the situation.
Ying and Paimon also introduced themselves.
Although I don't know who Su Chen is, he must be a big shot to be able to get together with a giant dragon, right?
"Su Chen, what were you doing just now?" Paimon asked curiously. "Why didn't that dragon attack you?"
"It's nothing, just trying to see if we can communicate."
"Can dragons communicate with humans?"
“Oh, I used to study animal linguistics at the Order Academy in Sumeru.”
Ying, Paimon: "???"
Does the Order of the Order teach this?
Ying didn't understand; she didn't even know what the Order of the Church was.
Paimon had heard of it, but she didn't know the Order of the Fathers taught this.
“The teacher is amazing!” Arya said. “The teacher knows everything.”
Su Chen chuckled lightly: "I just know a little more than others... Okay, let's not talk about that. I just tried to communicate with Dvalin, but obviously failed. To be safe, let's go back to the city first."
Dvalin clearly remembered him, but the current situation made further communication impossible.
It's clear that Dvalin's fate remains unchanged. Even though Su Chen helped it kill the poison dragon back then, it still accidentally contracted the toxin.
Then everything was like history repeating itself.
On the way back, Paimon kept chattering away.
"The Mouth of God truly lives up to its name," Su Chen thought to himself.
...
Mondstadt.
Inside Qin's office.
Since the noble group was arrested and the chief inspector and vice-commander were brought down, no one in the entire knightly order has questioned the harp.
However, with the incident involving those two individuals, the Knights Order underwent a major reorganization as well.
Over the past two days, adhering to the principle of "better to have none than to have bad ones," various team leaders and squad leaders have been removed from their posts.
However, because so many people were evacuated, the already severe shortage of manpower became even more serious.
Fortunately, the Fatui helped with the defense, and the lady dispatched many people to help clear out the monsters outside the city; otherwise, the entire Mondstadt would have been shrouded in the shadow of monsters.
Even so, the problems caused by the ongoing Dragon Plague are increasing, especially after Cavalry Captain Kaeya recently reported that the Abyss Order had been spotted outside the city.
Jean has already sent Amber to investigate. Once they discover the Abyss Order's stronghold, they must eliminate these guys immediately.
still have a question.
Qin had always wanted to make contact with the Earth Fire to learn more about it, but unfortunately, the Earth Fire suddenly went silent these past two days, and even the previous rescue operations stopped.
"What do you plan to do with those nobles?" Lisa asked, setting down her teacup as she sat at the tea table. "Kill them all?"
Qin, who was reviewing the documents, frowned slightly; this was a question she had been considering for the past two days.
Too many nobles have been arrested this time. If they are all killed, it will inevitably cause unrest.
After all, these noble families wield considerable influence, and their merchant guilds control the dominant power in various industries in Mondstadt. Killing them would be tantamount to the collapse of half of Mondstadt's economy.
But if they weren't killed, their crimes were too serious, and it would be difficult to appease public anger without killing them.
"Where's Su Chen? Hasn't he come back yet?" Qin felt a little pain in her chest.
The problem is really too difficult.
Lisa was speechless: "He's your assistant, you know that better than I do, right?"
"Yeah... that's right."
My head's a bit fuzzy, I'll have a cup of black tea to calm myself down.
Just then, Qin paused, sensing a subtle change in the airflow, and her eyes instantly sharpened.
Lisa also narrowed her eyes slightly.
The two exchanged a glance and immediately rushed out of the room.
boom! ——
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a gray storm gradually surged toward Mondstadt. The sudden change caused panic among the people of Mondstadt.
"Dragon! Stormterror is here!!!"
someone exclaimed.
"Captain Jean, the Stormterror is here!"
Just as Qin rushed out of the building, a knight reported.
"Sound the alarm immediately and guide the people to safety!" Qin ordered.
"Yes Yes!"
Soon, knights appeared one after another in the streets and alleys.
The knights were already adept at handling such unexpected situations.
But just then, a loud bang came from the sky.
Dvalin, flying at a low altitude, was hit by an elemental cannon. The explosion lit up the sky, and the Mondstadt citizens who were fleeing in panic were stunned by the sudden turn of events.
Then came another barrage of cannon fire, and the dragon's mournful howl echoed from the sky.
"Counterattack! Give us a fierce counterattack!"
Although we don't know what happened, this is the first time in the past six months since the Dragon Plague that humans have retaliated against the dragons!
"It must have been the Fatui who made the move!"
"I just saw them dragging the elemental cannon away!"
"Damn it! Are they finally starting to fight back?"
"Chairman Jean has finally made up her mind; Mondstadt is saved!!"
The scene of people fleeing within the city quickly turned into excited and even frenzied cheers, leaving Qin, who was rushing out of the Knights Tower, stunned.
She desperately wanted to tell these people that she had not ordered the attack on Tvalin.
But seeing the anticipation and excitement in their eyes, Qin couldn't bring herself to say it.
This scene showed her how much the people of Mondstadt longed for the Dragon Plague to end as soon as possible!
She couldn't say it.
But Tvalin quickly silenced the shouting guys.
While the elemental cannon could affect Dvalin to some extent, it was impossible to kill it. If Dvalin hadn't been corrupted by both poison and curse, the series of attacks just now wouldn't have even been able to harm it.
At this moment, the enraged Azure Dragon flapped its wings, creating hurricanes within Mondstadt. The powerful wind pressure poured down, and wind blades fell towards the elemental cannons on the city walls.
boom! ——
The walls of frost blocked the wind blades.
The woman walked on the ice, raised her head, and looked at Tvalin with indifferent eyes.
"Continue the attack."
"stop!!!"
A gust of wind swept through, and Qin climbed onto the city wall, shouting angrily, "Madam, what are you doing?!"
The woman smirked: "Isn't this only natural? The Fatui are solving the dragon plague for Mondstadt, what's wrong with that?"
"I've said it before, the prerequisite for resolving the dragon scourge is that Dvalin must not be killed!"
“Foolish.” The woman snapped, “Master Jean, do you know what you’re saying? You can’t kill Dvalin, yet you want to solve the dragon scourge? If you can’t even do it yourself, don’t ask others to! Look at those people below, they are all citizens of Mondstadt, the people you should be protecting. Because of your indecisiveness, Mondstadt has been plunged into a six-month-long calamity!”
"Six months! Have you calculated how many people have been killed or wounded? How much food has been ruined by monsters? How many people are afraid to enter Mondstadt because of the dragon scourge? Look at it from every angle, how wretched Mondstadt is now!"
"The belief in freedom? In a place where you can't even guarantee your safety at home, how dare you talk about freedom? It's laughable!"
"You!" Qin's expression changed.
