Chapter 153: Information about Dainsleif! Lumine's preparations!
After Paimon noted the grudge, she wanted to arouse Lumine's shared hatred.
But she found the golden-haired girl sitting there in a daze, lost in thought.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?"
The companion's muttering startled Lumine; the girl gave a light cough and said: "Thinking about how to explore the secret base of the Abyss Order with that person named Dainsleif tomorrow."
To be honest, although he was a bit familiar, Lumine didn't trust that blond man very much and held a sense of vigilance.
It just so happened that the person who knew the man inside and out was here.
Watching Luo Li, Raiden Makoto, and Eula discussing going to Liyue, Lumine interrupted their conversation for the time being.
"Mr. Luo Li, can you tell me more news about Dainsleif?"
She was not someone who kept things in her heart without saying them; if she wanted to know something, she would just ask it directly.
For this point, Luo Li quite appreciated it, although sometimes he wouldn't tell her.
However, there was no need to hide the news about Dainsleif.
"It just so happens that as a benefactor who has helped Mondstadt so much, I can tell you the news about that man in the form of a reward; tell me, what do you want to know?"
"His background and purpose, preferably in more detail."
Hearing this, Luo Li pondered for a while and organized his language.
"Let's introduce it in the most concise words: Dainsleif, this man, his specific identity was the captain of the Khaenri'ah Royal Guard five hundred years ago, titled the Twilight Sword; later, Khaenri'ah was destroyed by the descent of the Seven Archons, and he went missing."
"According to the information I have, he was once cursed by the gods and eroded by the Abyss; because of something holding him, he could barely maintain his sanity and normalcy."
"He has wandered the continent for five hundred years just to contend with the Abyss Order composed of the elite remnants of Khaenri'ah, preventing their various evil plans."
"..."
Watching Lumine's thoughtful appearance, Luo Li paused and dropped a bombshell on her.
"And, he once accompanied your brother on a journey."
Sure enough, Lumine stood up in surprise.
That man actually met her brother?!
Afterward, she immediately reacted; how did this guy know this news? Could it be that he had also seen her brother?
After half a day, it turned out that she was the only one who didn't know anything?!
Lumine was a bit autistic and took a deep breath; the information Luo Li said was enough for her to digest for a while.
"Anything else you want to know?" Luo Li appeared very generous, as if he would answer any question.
"..."
Seeing her speechless, Luo Li kindly gave a reminder.
"I can only say that he will not cause you harm for the time being."
Taking his words as a reference, Lumine nodded solemnly.
In any case, knowing so much was good for her and could support what actions she would take afterward.
"Alright, it's about time to rest."
Having said that, Luo Li stretched: "Still have to go to the cathedral tomorrow; it's time to return the Holy Lyre der Himmel that Venti gave me to its owner."
Although the thing was with Fischl, Luo Li didn't need to spend any effort to take it back.
As long as that thing is summoned, it will automatically fly back into the owner's hands.
"Then Mr. Luo Li, good night." Halfway through, Noelle hesitated: "Do you need me to watch over you as you fall asleep?"
Raiden Makoto giggled: "A good maid won't steal the mistress's job, oh."
One sentence made Noelle blush, and she left the hall quickly without a word to the guest room on the side of the manor.
Eula had self-knowledge; just like the title of Spindrift Knight, she said good night very dashingly and walked toward Noelle with very confident steps.
Ignoring Lumine and Paimon still thinking deeply there, Luo Li went to bathe with Raiden Makoto on his own.
