Chapter 52

In an instant, these knights all sat on the Sumpter Beasts and then set off with Kaeya, crossing the bridge to the outside, creating quite a stir.

Kaeya's beast was even a size larger.

The behavior of this squad of theirs could be described as having quite a bit of momentum.

It drew a lot of attention and envy from everyone.

Among them, there were even some women screaming.

"What a handsome cavalry squad!"

"That's amazing, what kind of animal is that!"

"I didn't expect it; the Knights of Favonius have been doing quite well in taming wild beasts lately, whether it's yaks or this."

"They aren't creatures from our Mondstadt."

There were also young boys and girls who were envious.

"Awesome, I want to join the Knights of Favonius too!"

"This is even cooler than the previous knights; this kind should be called beast cavalry, right?!!"

"It's a pity the Knights' assessment is too hard; I still have to keep working hard!"

Almost everyone was amazed.

Only a child on the bridge stomped his feet and shouted angrily.

"Hey, you scared all the pigeons away!!!"

But no one else said anything, because everyone was used to this.

After all, this is the main traffic artery for entering the city, and there are often large numbers of carriages and trucks coming and going, making it very lively.

It carries most of the city's circulation.

As a result, a child runs onto the bridge to feed pigeons, so isn't it normal for these pigeons to be scared away?

It's a miracle they weren't hit and killed.

Everyone just shrugged at this.

And Ye Ruo just took a look and didn't care, returning to his own house.

Should I go buy a few more houses today?

Just as Ye Ruo was about to open the door and go in.

A figure quietly emerged from the wall on the side, and then her cold voice came over.

"According to intelligence, the Fatui have sent a new Harbinger, La Signora." ===== CHAPTER 103 =====

"I'm afraid she's also coming with ill intent, so be careful."

"Oh? La Signora?"

"Dottore didn't come this time; that really makes me a bit disappointed."

Ye Ruo made an intriguing expression and sound.

Then he looked at this subordinate and friend.

"Thank you for your hard work; be careful in your next operations."

"Harbingers are not like ordinary Fatui; their strength is extraordinary, so don't get too close when collecting intelligence."

"Remember, your safety is the most important."

"Tch, troublesome."

This woman had a rather cold personality, and she gave a cold "tch" at these words.

"Rest assured, I won't hold you back; after all, I am also a subject of the Anemo Archon Barbatos."

Ye Ruo: ....

Sighing, Ye Ruo rubbed his temples with a headache.

"It's the Anemo Archon Barbatos; you've gotten the name wrong several times now."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm leaving first."

It seemed this woman didn't care what the Anemo Archon's name was, being quite self-willed.

After saying this piece of intelligence, she left cleanly and efficiently.

As if working overtime for a moment longer made her feel uncomfortable all over.

Only Ye Ruo remained here.

However, the two of them seemed very used to such conversations.

Even though it looked strange, the two had a perfect tacit understanding.

At this woman's waist, that Cryo Vision was clearly visible.

And she herself was actually dressed as a nun, so one could tell at a glance that she was a member of the church.

Her style was also very unique.

Dark circles, mature woman, sharp-tongued, dyed hair, mid-boots, fishnet stockings, aloof, assassin.

All kinds of characteristics could be seen in her.

In fact, her name is Rosaria.

Unlike ordinary Mondstadt people, Rosaria was born in a remote mountain village and was soon kidnapped by bandits.

Raised by bandits, she learned many killing techniques.

She also lived struggling in hunger, cold, and slaughter.

She had witnessed cruelty since she was a child.

Her heart had long since frozen into a block of ice.

Later, although Ye Ruo was young, he was very strong, so he went around clearing out monsters and bandits, and the bandit group Rosaria was in was also wiped out by him.

Then Rosaria was brought back to Mondstadt by him.

At that time, after the Grand Master learned of this, he hoped Rosaria would join the church to cleanse herself under the light of the gods and regain her own life.

To step out of the darkness and welcome the light.

However, Rosaria was already accustomed to that kind of dark, murderous environment.

It was integrated into her bones.

It was difficult to change.

So Ye Ruo taught her many techniques for using a Vision.

And later, Rosaria also voluntarily became a sharp blade in Ye Ruo's hand, operating in the shadows.

She is Ye Ruo's shadow.

A lurker in the darkness.

These were all her voluntary actions.

Where there is light, there is shadow.

After all, the one who saved her was Ye Ruo.

Such a relationship and bond are more secure than anything else.

So Ye Ruo has such a top-tier assassin and intelligence gatherer in his hands.

Ningguang has Yelan in her hands.

And he has Rosaria in his hands.

I have to say, this is very wonderful. ===== CHAPTER 104 =====

Soon.

The East Wind Dragon, Dvalin, who once defeated the evil dragon Durin and swallowed poisonous blood, awakened.

As soon as it woke up, it triggered a large fluctuation of Anemo energy.

Eroded by the poisonous blood, Dvalin developed uncontrollable hatred and anger.

This was not a naturally born hatred, but a consequence brought by the corruption.

That is the creation of Gold, the power of the abyss!

This affected its sanity and clarity, causing it to quickly begin to fall into becoming the Stormterror.

Moreover, it sought out the long-desolate ruins, the land of the old Mondstadt's lonely king's tower, also known as the Tyrant's Ruins.

It perched there.

Venti, who was playing poetry in Mondstadt, immediately noticed this.

Nowadays, he has become the most famous bard in the city in a short time and has even won several championships.

However, after noticing the abnormality, a look of worry appeared on his face.

"Dvalin."

Thus, he left the city and headed outside.

He began trying to resolve the matter of Dvalin.

And such movement naturally could not be hidden from the intelligence personnel of the Fatui.

The Eighth Harbinger, "La Signora," who had just arrived in Mondstadt, learned of this news.

First, she was surprised, and then she was self-satisfied, laughing out loud.

"It's better to come at the right time than to come early."

"I originally wanted to investigate that so-called Wind Knight first and find some trouble for him. But since the former East Wind Dragon has appeared, it will inevitably draw out that guy Barbatos."

"The Gnosis is important; it seems I must specifically pay attention to the traces of the Anemo Archon."

"I remember there is a Holy Lyre der Himmel in the cathedral; can I lock onto Barbatos's location more accurately through the divine power remaining on it?"

"This is really interesting, hahaha."

The Fatui also began their secret operations.

A storm is coming.

Only Ye Ruo was still watching, with no action yet.

Regarding Dvalin's activities, he reacted much earlier than the Fatui.

Because originally, the wind fields in the entire Mondstadt region were very gentle, and the Anemo energy made people feel very comfortable.

But suddenly, the power of the Stormterror, which had been eroded, appeared, causing the degree of disturbance to the Anemo energy to keep increasing.

Even if the movement wasn't big at first, the Stormterror's power had declined a lot.

For someone like Ye Ruo, whose perception of Anemo energy is too strong, it was still too obvious.

It was as if someone was scratching glass with their claws.

That kind of feeling.

However, Ye Ruo remembered.

At first, the Stormterror would be active in the wild of Mondstadt, affecting people's travel and business, creating chaos.

Later on.

It would begin to use the remaining power in the abandoned temples of the Four Winds.

Attempting to whip up a hurricane and attack the City of Mondstadt!

This shows that the Stormterror is indeed very weak.

However, it hasn't affected Mondstadt yet, and the Stormterror is being handled by Venti himself, so Ye Ruo doesn't need to take action in this regard for now.

After all, the Anemo Archon is at the front.

Let's see when things actually make progress.

Currently, the more important thing is that the third volume of his novel, "Old Mondstadt: The Chapter of the Lonely King's Eye," is almost ready for release.

Hmm, I also need to send a copy to Lisa by the way.

And in the City of Mondstadt, the residents were still living days no different from usual.

Although there are undercurrents, the dragon disaster in Mondstadt is right before their eyes.

But for them now, it still has no impact.

Many people's focus is on Ye Ruo's novel.

The moment of the great decisive battle is coming soon!

Who wouldn't be excited?

Even the powerful King of Storms will face the unyielding will and resistance of the ancient people of old Mondstadt!

And that day finally came.

The day of the third volume's release has arrived! ===== CHAPTER 105 =====
