Chapter 538

~8 min read 1,455 words

At this time, Gu Chen suddenly thought of when Varka was there.

As the saying goes, having an old person in the family is like having a treasure.

Varka knew a lot about these things. If he were here, he wouldn't need to consider much to think of a very good answer, while Gu Chen still needed to consider it carefully from many aspects.

Gu Chen, who couldn't think of an answer after thinking about it, rummaged around in the office.

He suddenly saw a long box.

It was used to hold the Aquila Favonia.

The Aquila Favonia was not just a weapon, but a symbol.

Gu Chen certainly knew swordsmanship, but ordinary Favonius swords simply couldn't support Gu Chen's strength.

Although the Aquila Favonia was strong enough, it wasn't worth using it to fight.

"It should be more appropriate to give this to Jean."

Most of the affairs in the past two years were handled by Jean, and the Favonius knights were also very convinced by Jean. Giving the Aquila Favonia to her wouldn't have any opposing voices; on the contrary, everyone would feel that Jean deserved the Aquila Favonia.

Knock knock—

The office door was knocked again.

"Brother! Brother! Let's go out and play!"

Klee's childish voice sounded outside the door, and the little one's expectation-filled emotions were almost overflowing.

"Come in first."

After calling, Klee pushed the door in, carrying a small schoolbag, her face full of joy, jumping and jumping to Gu Chen's side: "Brother, accompany Klee to fish with bombs, okay~"

Putting her hands together and twisting her small body constantly.

"Let's go!"

Anyway, being idle is being idle, Gu Chen immediately made a decision.

Just as he walked out of the office with Klee, Jean poked her head out of her office and stared at the two.

"Where to?"

Jean's calm voice seemed to carry a pressure, and Klee hid directly behind Gu Chen.

After pondering for two seconds, Gu Chen said, "Recently, there have been movements in Stormterror's Lair, and Klee also wants to go out and stroll, so I want to take this opportunity to investigate Stormterror's Lair."

Is it really to investigate?

Jean looked at Gu Chen suspiciously.

"It concerns the safety of Mondstadt, so we must investigate the cause of the matter clearly as soon as possible," Gu Chen said as a matter of course.

Jean nodded doubtfully, "Alright, pay attention to safety, especially Klee."

"Mm-hmm, Klee understands." Klee nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

【Venti】: The movement in Stormterror's Lair refers to Dvalin, right? It's over, some elemental dragon is going to be beaten again~ (Funny)

【Dvalin】: If I remember correctly, some Anemo Archon has already awakened and blessed the Sect Leader, right? Why doesn't he go see his kin? Is it because he really doesn't care? (Doubt)

【Azhdaha】: This kind of sincere question with doubt, Venti, why don't you answer? Why are you silent? Could it be that you really don't love Dvalin anymore? (Funny)

【Zhongli】: Generally speaking, since he is Venti, it's not strange for him to do anything. (Zhongli: Drinking tea)

【Osial】: Dvalin, stop hanging out with Venti, hurry up and believe in the Sect Leader. Isn't this more cost-effective than believing in Venti? (Funny)

【Dvalin】: I have never believed in Venti. We are just ordinary friends, like-minded, don't misunderstand. Only the Sect Leader is my belief. (Gu Chen: Long Wang crooked mouth)

【Venti】: Look at what you guys are saying. How could I not care about Dvalin? Is there a possibility that: I slept for too long, I'm already confused, and my power is not enough. If I bless the Sect Leader twice more, I'll be even weaker... How can I have time to pay attention to Dvalin!

【Gu Chen】: Caring about Dvalin ≠ I want to see him.

【Azhdaha】: What kind of statement is this?

【Gu Chen】: Don't understand, right? This is taboo knowledge, a rule-level inequality, directly killed! (Zhongli: Long Wang crooked mouth)

【Venti】: Don't blacken me! God's actions must have deep meaning! (I am very mysterious)

【Furina】: Mm! Indeed! (Nods)

【Neuvillette】: Speaking of which, what is the deep meaning of Lady Furina's actions? (Thinking)

【Furina】: Little Long Wang, don't ask about the God's affairs. (Cool)

Palais Mermonia.

Neuvillette fell into deep thought.

Everyone has their own secrets, and Furina, the Hydro Archon, clearly has more secrets.

The prophecy crisis of Fontaine is like a sharp sword hanging over everyone's head that will fall at any time. Does Furina know anything?

Neuvillette really wanted to ask Furina, but Furina was too good at avoiding this question. Every time he was about to speak, Furina would find an excuse to slip away.

Why is this?

Neuvillette was a bit unable to understand Furina's thoughts.

After sighing, Neuvillette looked at the light curtain in front of him.

The traveler Lumine from the first issue had been to Fontaine, but there were only a few confusing fragments, which couldn't form any clues or guidance at all.

He only hoped that the series of videos about Mr. Gu Chen's past life could have an issue with Fontaine as the main stage. In this way, he could probably see the future of Fontaine, right?

Stormterror's Lair.

What Gu Chen told Jean was of course not an excuse to take Klee out to play.

Stormterror's Lair also had water and fish.

Klee was happily trying out her new bomb, while Gu Chen stood to the side, rubbing his chin and looking at the layers of clouds accumulated in the sky.

These clouds covered the top of the spire, making it impossible to see what was on top of the spire.

Gu Chen's perception was very keen, and compared to before, he was now even more powerful.

Because there was no reference, Gu Chen didn't know how powerful he had become.

"Hmm... there seems to be an ominous aura in the air."

Gu Chen came to a high place and looked around, but didn't see anything unusual in this basin.

"Brother~!"

Klee's voice came.

Gu Chen looked down, and Klee was calling him and pointing in a direction: "There is a green person there!"

A green person?

Gu Chen raised an eyebrow.

If you want to talk about a green person, the first impression should be that Venti.

Turning his head to look, sure enough, Venti, wearing a green cloak, was shuttling through the ruins.

"Ghee, didn't expect to meet a friend in such a desolate place~"

Venti waved to greet Gu Chen after seeing him, his face full of smiles.

"... It's you."

Gu Chen jumped down from the high place and examined Venti for a moment before saying pointedly, "Came to see the situation here?"

"In such a place with historical atmosphere, as a bard, of course, I have to come and see more. Maybe I can write a poem that will be passed down through the ages?" Venti Ghee-ed.

"Brother, this is what you often call playing dumb, right?" Klee scratched her head and asked.

"Indeed."

Gu Chen nodded.

Venti scratched his head with a blank face and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Klee looked at Venti with some confusion, not knowing if this green brother was really stupid or pretending to be stupid.

But it didn't seem to have anything to do with her here, so the little one ran away happily to throw bombs and play.

After Klee walked away, Gu Chen asked, "Does the wind have any guidance?"

"Eh? What are you talking about?" Venti blinked.

Gu Chen sighed helplessly, then said, "There's no one else here, I think there's no need to cover it up, right?"

"Alright, alright, but how did you find out?" Venti was a bit curious.

"Cosplaying the Anemo Archon statue itself is nothing, but not only cosplaying the image of the statue, but also singing ancient poems that are rarely known all day long... This is very suspicious, but it doesn't count as any direct evidence... However, a warrior's intuition and perception are the root cause of confirming all this," Gu Chen said lightly.

"So that's how it is!" Venti suddenly realized, "It seems I still underestimated you."

"There is one more point."

Gu Chen continued, "The Anemo Archon's two blessings are on me. This aura of power from the same source... Could it be that the Anemo Archon also blessed you? So I concluded... Lord Barbatos, you are here to check the recent situation of the East Wind Dragon?"

When the words reached this point, Venti didn't cover it up either, nodding with a serious expression on his youthful face, "Yes, Dvalin is very abnormal now. The wind flowing here carries an ominous aura. The source of this aura is the Abyss!"
