Chapter 248

Those guys from the Fatui haven't been honest at all recently; the number of Fatui in Mondstadt City 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 number for the current Mondstadt.

After all, the main force of the Knights of Favonius is on an expedition, and the losses of the remaining Knights of Favonius from the previous battle were not small.

If it weren't for the fact that Jean and Eula's strength had made significant progress 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 doesn't seem to care at all, so Diluc is too lazy to care much.

If it were normal times, although these Fatui are tricky, as long as he is given time, he can solve them alone.

Even if there are Fatui Harbingers among them, Diluc has the confidence to face them. Delusions are good things!

Diluc is truly greedy for these things!

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

They are very likely to take action against Mondstadt using this matter; this is what Diluc needs to resolve now.

Some things are not suitable for Jean and the Knights of Favonius to make a move, so now is the time for him, the enthusiastic citizen and good neighbor in the eyes of Mondstadt people, to make a move.

Diluc is not interested in the nickname of the Darknight Hero, and feels that the 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 to be 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, Seeing Mu Yang then asked Venti: "How is Signora doing?"

"She still won't give up on wanting to find my whereabouts; I have clearly been avoiding her." Mentioning this matter, Venti was also helpless.

For Signora, he does indeed have guilt, and also wants to make up for and thank the other party.

However, last time Seeing Mu Yang already left Signora a way to live, so it seems there is no need to continue to feel guilty for the other party. After all, according to Seeing Mu Yang's words, he didn't kill Signora for his own sake.

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

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

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

But even though he has been avoiding Rosalyne, that woman still wants to find him to the bottom; Venti is also a bit helpless, and many times he just takes wine from Angel's Share and goes to other places to drink alone.

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

"She is indeed a bit ungrateful." Seeing 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 have arranged for the Fatui to come to Mondstadt on a large scale, is this a provocation to me?

Or is it testing my 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 behavior. 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 behavior of the former Heavenly Principles was indeed protecting this world, but for the Teyvat continent, isn't it also a high tower?"

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

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

It's just a matter of time."

"Actually, at that time, we didn't know that things had reached such an urgent point, and we didn't know that the influence of the Abyss on this world would be so great." Following that, 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 passed that catastrophe, we would temporarily resolve 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, right? It's just that before, no one cared, right?" Seeing Mu Yang immediately noticed something wrong upon hearing this and immediately reminded him.

"No, the Seven Archons, including me, didn't 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."

Seeing Mu Yang fell into thought upon hearing this. Did the Abyss not threaten the Teyvat continent before?

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

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

Was it hidden?

A flash of realization crossed Seeing 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 must 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 wash their reputation through the Irminsul, isn't that disgusting?

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

It's simply a pile of crap!

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

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

Seeing 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-so-small price. A large part of this was related to the Abyss, but if someone said that Khaenri'ah didn't have powerhouses comparable to the Seven Archons at that time, who would believe it!

Think about how just one Gold Rhinedottir could cause such a big storm in Teyvat.

Then as the court mage of Khaenri'ah, the Jester, who had a top-five status in all of Khaenri'ah, would his strength really be weak?

Seeing Mu Yang highly suspects that the Jester's true strength might have reached the level of the first generation of Seven Archons, and even if it didn't reach 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.

Seeing Mu Yang doesn't know if the Doctor has the strength of the Seven Archons, but he thinks he doesn't.

But the Jester very likely does!

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

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