Chapter 10
Knights of Favonius, Grand Master's office.
Acting Grand Master Jean is seriously handling official business.
Recently, due to the appearance of the Stormterror, Mondstadt has fallen into quite a bit of trouble.
First of all, the merchants coming here have been hindered.
For Mondstadt, which relies on exports, this is a significant blow.
Besides this, the Fatui inside the City of Mondstadt have also started to become restless.
It seems they are plotting something.
Coupled with the fact that the Grand Master took most of the Knights of Favonius's strength on an expedition, the interior is left empty.
It can be said that the current situation in Mondstadt is somewhat turbulent.
This also puts a lot of pressure on Jean, the Acting Grand Master.
Seeing the worry on Jean's face, Lisa, who was leaning on the armrest nearby, also sighed slightly.
The situation is complex, and there is not much she can do at the moment.
As a best friend, she can only silently support Jean.
Knock, knock, knock~
At this moment, a knock came from outside the door.
"Please come in!"
Jean said softly.
After receiving permission, a girl wearing red and white clothes with long chestnut hair pushed the door open and walked in.
A red rabbit-ear bow tied on top of her head made her look cute while also being impressive.
"Amber, has something happened?"
Seeing the worried look on the girl in front of her, Jean's expression became solemn.
Amber is an Outrider of the Knights of Favonius.
She had previously been arranged by her to patrol outside.
Now that she has suddenly returned, something must have happened.
"Jean, because of the Stormterror, there are more and more Hilichurl camps outside the City of Mondstadt."
"Should we deal with them?"
"Otherwise, it will be troublesome if this continues."
Amber stated the situation she had learned about.
"Are the Hilichurls getting involved too?"
Jean rubbed her temples with a headache.
Under normal circumstances, Hilichurls cannot cause too much trouble for the City of Mondstadt.
But now the situation in Mondstadt is unstable.
The knights of the Knights of Favonius have all been sent out to execute missions.
It is truly difficult to mobilize personnel to solve them for the time being.
But not solving them won't work either.
If things continue like this, it is very likely that a big problem will arise.
As a best friend, Lisa naturally knows what Jean is worried about.
So she walked over and smiled elegantly.
"There aren't enough regular personnel, but don't forget, we still have a little cutie!"
"With her power, it is enough to deal with those Hilichurls."
"Klee?"
Jean bit her lower lip.
As the Acting Grand Master, she naturally knows how formidable little Klee's strength is.
The stack of compensation reports in her hand is enough to prove it.
She had just locked her in the confinement room because of fish blasting.
But this does not mean she doesn't dote on Klee.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as just locking her in the confinement room.
But even so, she was still a bit hesitant.
After all, Klee is still just a child.
"Don't worry, I will look after her when the time comes."
Lisa comforted her.
With Lisa's guarantee, Jean finally made up her mind.
She then looked at Amber and said,
"Klee is in the confinement room next door; go and bring her over."
"Okay!"
Amber nodded and turned to walk out the door.
However, very quickly, she ran back in a panic.
Followed by the nervous knight Wood.
"Jean, it's bad, Klee, Klee is gone!"
"Klee is gone?"
Hearing this news, Jean was stunned, then stood up abruptly.
"Tell me the specific situation?"
"A... After Klee entered the confinement room, I was guarding the door the whole time and didn't leave for a single step."
"It wasn't until Amber came that I opened the door, but... but there was no sign of Klee inside."
Wood was so nervous that his speech was intermittent.
He was also very confused at this moment.
He clearly hadn't left for a single step?
Why was Klee gone?
Hearing the full process of the event, Jean and Lisa looked at each other, both showing solemn expressions.
Wood should have no suspicion.
Having worked together for so many years, the two women naturally know his character.
Even if there were a problem, being so close to the Grand Master's office, they would have been able to notice it.
Additionally, although there is a window inside the confinement room, it is not enough for Klee to escape.
As for blowing up the window...
Not to mention that Klee wouldn't do that, just the commotion alone would have been enough to attract attention.
So the question arises!
In such a sealed environment, how did little Klee disappear?
"Jean, don't worry, let's go over and take a look first."
Lisa walked over to comfort her.
She knows how much Jean cares about Klee.
Including everyone in the Knights of Favonius, they are all the same.
"Hmm, let's go take a look and see."
Jean nodded.
Then the four of them headed to the confinement room to search carefully.
They didn't even let go of the corners.
But they still had no clue at all.
To be able to bypass the guards of the Knights of Favonius and then silently take Klee away.
One would at least need a power similar to space.
Whoever can do this is clearly not an ordinary person.
At this, everyone's faces turned ugly.
"Wood, go to the Angel's Share tavern and tell Master Diluc about this, then ask him to come to the Knights of Favonius once."
Jean ordered at this time.
It is no longer as simple as Klee disappearing!
It is that some unknown existence has set its sights on the Knights of Favonius, set its sights on Mondstadt.
Otherwise, why would they take Klee away just when the Hilichurl camps were expanding?
Facing such a situation, Jean, as the Acting Grand Master, has to be cautious.
Therefore, Mondstadt needs the help of the Dawn Winery!
"Yes, Acting Grand Master Jean!"
Wood nodded, then turned and ran out.
After he left, Jean looked at Amber and said,
"Amber, go and tell Albedo about what happened, then ask him to come over once."
Albedo is Klee's guardian.
With Klee missing, he must be informed.
"Yes!"
After Amber nodded to indicate she understood, she also hurriedly ran out.
Suddenly, only Jean and Lisa were left here.
"Let's go back to the office first and discuss it after they arrive."
Seeing the fatigue on her friend's face, Lisa couldn't help but console her.
"Okay!"
If Han Feng knew that just by summoning Klee he had caused such a big commotion, I wonder what his expression would be?
