Chapter 537: Lumine's Request! Raiden Makoto's Warning!

Ignoring Paimon's self-seclusion.

Luo Li and Lumine continued the topic about the Abyss Order and the information Enjou gave her.

Finally, it was learned that Lumine was going to take Paimon back to Liyue.

If this matter wasn't resolved and the Abyss Order's plan wasn't figured out, she really couldn't set her mind at ease for the next trip.

Luo Li expressed his approval.

"However, don't be too eager to go to Liyue."

Lumine was somewhat puzzled: "Why?"

"Because even for the Abyss Order, they wouldn't carry out the space node plan so early."

"Space node plan?"

Hearing a new term from his mouth, Lumine's eyes lit up; this guy seemed to know more than Enjou.

Luo Li didn't intend to explain it to her, but instead changed the subject: "It just so happens that Liyue's Lantern Rite will start in a while, and I'm going there too. You can just set off with me then."

According to the Abyss Order's execution, their mobility is top-notch, but under Liyue's blockade, it would take some time for the Order to prepare to cause trouble in The Chasm.

Going now, not only would they not get the Qixing's permission to unlock it, but even if they went in, they wouldn't find any clues.

Lumine was somewhat disappointed, but had to nod and agree.

"Alright then, I'll stay in Inazuma for this period."

Reaching a consensus, just as she was about to turn around, Lumine paused her steps.

"By the way, I have one more question."

"Let's hear it."

"Um, how do you plan to deal with the Kujou Clan of the Tenryou Commission and the Hiiragi Clan of the Kanjou Commission?" Lumine's expression was quite shaken.

Luo Li looked at her, vaguely guessing something.

At this moment, Raiden Ei, who had been silent on the high seat, suddenly said: "Did the two families send you to plead for them?"

Lumine hurriedly explained: "No, I have no relationship with the two commissions, I'm just friends with Miss Hiiragi Chisato, and the Kujou second young master she likes. Both major families have been implicated, but apart from the heads of the families, they haven't done anything detrimental to Inazuma. I hope you Majesties can see clearly."

Saying what she had always wanted to say but was too embarrassed to say, Lumine felt much more relaxed.

If you really count it, both are juniors, and when the elders were the heads of the families, they had no power at all, so naturally, it was impossible for them to issue orders that deceived their superiors and subordinates.

Therefore, if the Kujou and Hiiragi clans were replaced directly, it would be unfair to others.

Raiden Ei said coldly: "In their position, they seek their politics; they must bear the consequences of the decisions they make. I can spare these two people for the sake of your contribution, as for the others..."

Ei didn't continue.

The reason why the two families were still kept during this time was purely for temporary stability.

After all, Luo Li's divine festival hadn't been held yet, and subordinates were needed to take responsibility.

Now that they were used, of course, the accounts had to be settled after the autumn.

Lumine also knew that her proposal probably wouldn't succeed, so she sighed and silently thought that she could only do this much.

She hoped that the two lovers wouldn't have to face many troubles because of family relationships and could walk together perfectly in the future.

Even without power or prominent status.

Raiden Makoto said at the right time: "Has Ei thought about who will fill the positions of the two commissions?"

Once this was said, Ei said without hesitation: "Appoint Kujou Sara as the new head of the Tenryou Commission. As for the Kanjou Commission, I will personally control it for now and slowly select people with sufficient qualifications in the future."

She didn't worry at all that Sara, as the adopted daughter of the Kujou clan, might betray her, after all, this order almost meant casting the Kujou clan into the mortal world.

There was no way; Sara's loyalty was completely maxed out. Whatever the Shogun said, she would do.

Even the Vision Hunt Decree, she could execute it unremittingly, even if the Shogun wanted to take away the Vision that was like her own life, Sara still didn't waver.

She could be called a true soldier.

Raiden Makoto nodded lightly: "As long as you have a plan in mind."

Seeing the three highest leaders of Inazuma discuss and then turn their gazes back to her, Lumine immediately felt pressure coming.

"Sorry, Lumine, Ei's order is as such, and I cannot interfere."

Raiden Makoto explained in a gentle tone, although if she really wanted to speak up, she could definitely make Ei change her mind.

But doing so wasn't a good thing.

The current Raiden Shogun is Ei.

Since she knew her pleading was useless, Lumine gave up and silently apologized to Hiiragi Chisato in her heart.

It seems that in the future, the two can only be a happy couple.

But isn't this what they wanted? Without the shackles of family power, and the decisions made by their fathers for the sake of marriage, the two would be free from now on.

"One last question."

After finishing what she had to say, Lumine finally looked at Luo Li.

"I found a forbidden book in Enkanomiya that tells about the ancient era. Can you clear up my confusion?"

A forbidden book?

Luo Li didn't need to think to know what she was talking about; it was nothing more than "Before Sun and Moon," which was listed as a taboo by the Great Serpent Orobashi. Since she ran into Enjou, it was only natural that she found this book.

After all, he hadn't sought out this book at the time, nor had he tried to hide it.

Before he could speak, Raiden Makoto warned in advance: "It's too early for you to know these things. Don't explore too much. You haven't even walked halfway through your most important journey, and knowing more secrets isn't a good thing."

Lumine believed Raiden Makoto's words deeply, but she also felt a bit lost in her heart.

Her journey wasn't enough; she had traveled through three nations, and the information she got was only a tiny bit.

Whether it was the origin of Teyvat, the origin of the Abyss, the reason for the fall of Khaenri'ah, the whereabouts of her brother, or the plans of the Abyss Order, she was completely confused.

Luo Li followed up: "That's right, rather than letting Raiden Makoto tell you the shortcut, it's better for you to explore everything yourself."

If Ei wasn't very clear about various things in the ancient era, then Makoto was definitely not like that, whether it was her connection with the Time Archon Istaroth or foreseeing the origin of many things.

Even Luo Li didn't know as much as she did.

After all, when he arrived, many things in the era of the crowns had already ended.

The first one or two thousand years were spent in Mondstadt and Liyue, and he didn't have time to wander around elsewhere, let alone explore ancient civilizations and lost secrets. ===== CHAPTER 539 =====
