Chapter 141: Blocked Information, Teyvat's Secrets

"Klee has been quite well-behaved!" Mu Yang glanced at the somewhat panicked Klee and still spoke up for her.

After all, in order to make Mu Yang speak well of Klee, Seeing Seeing Keqing had paid a not-insignificant price; the moves in those books and pictures had been used quite a bit.

There was no way; for the construction of Does Does Liyue, Seeing Seeing Keqing could be considered to have shed blood and tears. If Mu Yang hadn't cherished her and considered her injuries, he might have unlocked even more knowledge.

Klee is simply too important to the construction of Does Does Liyue!

This allowed Seeing Seeing Keqing to abandon quite a few bottom lines for Klee.

"Is that so?" Jean looked suspiciously at the somewhat embarrassed Klee, and then put this matter to the back of her mind.

Klee had finally come back, and she shouldn't discipline Klee too much; during this time, she had really missed Klee.

"Forget it, Klee, you must continue to listen to your Brother Mu Yang in the future!" Jean rubbed Klee's head and took a bottle of milk from her Vision and handed it to Klee.

Seeing this scene, Mu Yang's gaze moved slightly.

Jean really missed Klee; she knew she would see Klee and had specially brought the milk Klee liked.

Perhaps for Jean, there was no difference between Klee and her own sister?

"Since you've decided to head to Wolvendom tomorrow, I'll go there to investigate today." At this time, Diluc volunteered.

Although he was a bit embarrassed when he volunteered last time, times are different now; could it be that he would eat humble pie again this time?

Moreover, his main purpose in heading to Wolvendom this time was to investigate whether other forces were involved besides the Abyss Order.

Those guys from the Fatui haven't been honest lately; the number of Fatui in the City of Mondstadt has doubled recently.

According to Diluc's investigation, the number of Fatui currently stationed and secretly infiltrating Mondstadt might exceed one thousand.

This number is a very dangerous figure for the current Mondstadt.

After all, the main force of the Knights of Favonius is on an expedition, and the remaining Knights of Favonius suffered not insignificant losses because of that previous battle.

If it weren't for the fact that Jean and Eula's strength had improved significantly because of the chat group, they might really have been suppressed.

They seem to be looking for something, very likely Barbatos, this guy.

But looking at Venti's appearance, he seems completely indifferent, and Diluc is too lazy to care much.

If it were usual, these Fatui, although tricky, could be solved by him alone as long as he was given time.

Even if there were Fatui Harbingers among them, Diluc had the confidence to face them; Delusions are good things!

He, Diluc, is very greedy for these things!

This time, the Abyss Order caused such a big event, even Andrius might be resurrected; Diluc didn't think the Fatui, who were eyeing the Anemo Archon, would really not pay attention to this matter.

They might very well use this event to make a move on Mondstadt; this is what Diluc needs to solve now.

Some things are not suitable for Jean and the Knights of Favonius to take action on; now is the time for him, the enthusiastic citizen and good neighbor in the eyes of the people of Mondstadt, to take action.

Diluc is not interested in the nickname of the Darknight Hero, and he feels that name is very lame, but he is still willing to silently guard Mondstadt.

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior." Jean naturally understood what Diluc was going to do and said gratefully.

Originally, the investigation into the Fatui was also within Jean's scope of business; after all, the Fatui are not very honest within Mondstadt's territory.

The other party's target is also very likely Lord Barbatos; although Lord Barbatos himself might not care about such things, they, as believers, cannot really ignore it.

After Diluc left and Klee was taken by Jean to eat food, Mu Yang asked Venti: "How is Signora doing?"

"She still won't give up on trying to find my whereabouts; I've clearly been avoiding her." Mentioning this, Venti was also full of helplessness.

For Signora, he indeed felt guilty and wanted to make up for it and be grateful to the other party.

However, last time Mu Yang had already left Signora a way to live, so it seemed there was no need to continue feeling guilty towards the other party; after all, according to Mu Yang's words, he had spared Signora's life for his sake.

As a superior, Venti felt that Mu Yang was much better than Phanes; at least he was very considerate of his subordinates.

If it were Phanes, he wouldn't be as considerate as Mu Yang.

Of course, if Phanes were still around, he wouldn't pay attention to such trivial matters.

But even though he had been avoiding Rosalyne, that woman still wanted to find him at all costs; Venti was also a bit helpless, and many times he even took wine from Angel's Share to other places to drink alone.

But like this, where is there any atmosphere for drinking? This life is truly too difficult.

"It is indeed a bit ungrateful." Mu Yang said pointedly.

Venti was silent; Signora is indeed a bit ungrateful, but what exactly is the Cryo Archon thinking?

Now that the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles has appeared, and they are still arranging for the Fatui to come to Mondstadt on a large scale, is this a provocation to him?

Or is it testing his attitude?

"It might be related to the Cryo Archon wanting to test my attitude." After pondering for a moment, Venti also said: "After all, I previously intended to tacitly approve of the Cryo Archon's actions; after all, the Gnosis is of no use to me, and I also want to see what achievements humans can reach without the constraints of the Heavenly Principles.

The actions of the former Heavenly Principles were indeed protecting this world, but for the Teyvat continent, isn't it also a high tower?"

Mu Yang nodded upon hearing this and said: "Indeed, although it is protecting this world, it is also binding this world.

As for the situation in the Teyvat continent, that is also a chronic death.

It's just a matter of time."

"Actually, at that time, we didn't know that things had reached such an urgent point, nor did we know that the Abyss would have such a great impact on this world." Immediately after, Venti continued: "If it weren't for the war five hundred years ago.

Including the Seven Archons, we only knew that the Abyss was a power we couldn't touch, but we didn't know that its threat to the Teyvat continent would be so great.

We even once thought that as long as we survived that calamity, we would have temporarily solved the predicament of the Abyss; in the end, we were still too complacent."

"That's not right, is it? You should have known about the power of the Abyss a long time ago; it's just that no one cared before, right?" Mu Yang immediately noticed something wrong upon hearing this and reminded him.

"No, the Seven Archons, including me, did not know how great the harm of the Abyssal power was five hundred years ago!" Venti shook his head repeatedly: "On this point, I don't seem to have any need to hide it from you."

Mu Yang fell into deep thought upon hearing this; did the Abyss not threaten the Teyvat continent before?

But according to his understanding from the game he played, the Abyss should have started descending on Teyvat five hundred years ago.

But Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, didn't know.

Was it hidden?

A flash of realization crossed Mu Yang's heart; the memories of the Seven Archons are not true; even for them, memories can be modified.

For example, the Irminsul!

If it were through the Irminsul, making everyone not know about the Abyss, then everything could be explained clearly.

This thing is truly dangerous.

It seems that the management of the Irminsul will have to be stricter in the future; otherwise, who knows what kind of lunatic will run into the Irminsul and want to cause trouble.

If there is a heinous, or particularly annoying lunatic who wants to whitewash themselves through the Irminsul, isn't that disgusting?

Well, through the Irminsul, he did indeed delete the past, but that doesn't mean he didn't do anything.

It's simply a pile of dung!

"At this time, the Cryo Archon should also be riding a tiger and finding it hard to get off, right!" Venti continued: "After all, the current Snezhnaya almost implements a philosophy, which is to overthrow the Heavenly Principles for the Tsaritsa.

But her management of the Fatui might not necessarily be completely under her control."

Mu Yang nodded slightly upon hearing this; indeed, no matter how you look at this matter, there is the shadow of the Jester, and even as of now, there is a possibility that the Cryo Archon is being sidelined.

In that battle back then, although Khaenri'ah was destroyed, it also proved that they had the qualifications to challenge the Seven Archons.

After all, several of the Seven Archons who went back then did indeed fall.

Even the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles personally entered the field at that time and also paid a not-insignificant price. A large part of this is related to the Abyss, but if anyone believes that Khaenri'ah didn't have powerhouses comparable to the Seven Archons at that time, who would believe it!

Just think that even a Gold, Rhinedottir, could cause such a big storm in Teyvat.

Then as the court mage of Khaenri'ah, with a top-five status in the entire Khaenri'ah, would the Jester's strength really be weak?

Mu Yang highly suspected that the Jester's true strength might also have reached the level of the first generation of the Seven Archons; even if it hadn't reached it, it probably wouldn't be much worse.

Archons have strong and weak ones; the top three Fatui Harbingers having the strength of an Archon is not something bragged about.

Mu Yang doesn't know if the Doctor has the strength of the Seven Archons; he imagines he doesn't.

But the Jester very likely does!

And if such a person wants to do something in Snezhnaya, the Tsaritsa, who is also in a deep sleep and can pay everything for the humans of Teyvat, really cannot stop anything.

Based on the intelligence Mu Yang currently knows, given the Cryo Archon's personality, it's hard for her to accept someone like the Doctor; she very likely has already lost control over the Fatui.
