Chapter 97: Brother-in-Law's Curiosity, New Guests Arrive

The Ruins of the Storm Dragon.

A blond youth sat upon the throne, while an Abyss Mage knelt before him.

It was the very one who had escaped from the Starfall Cliff.

"Your Highness, the plan to transform the Dvalin into a weapon of war has failed..."

At that moment, it reported the outcome with a hoarse voice and a dejected expression.

"Oh? The Anemo Archon? For that dragon, he intends to be crowned again?"

Aether's expression grew somewhat grave.

If that were truly the case, it would be no small obstacle to their plans.

Any god is not to be underestimated.

"No, we had already considered all possibilities regarding that god's intervention."

Upon saying this, the Abyss Mage shook its head.

"Regrettably, Your Highness, the unexpected obstacle comes from your own blood."

"My... sister..."

Aether fell silent as past memories brushed through his mind once more.

After a long while, Aether sighed within his heart and said softly, "Tell me the details; what exactly happened?"

"In reply to Your Highness, the matter is as follows..."

The Abyss Mage recounted the causes and consequences of the event in detail.

At the same time, it also reported the incident of the Stormterror attacking Mondstadt City beforehand.

"Are you saying my sister possesses immense wind-controlling abilities, capable even of manifesting a green dragon larger than the Stormterror?"

Aether asked with furrowed brows.

"Yes, Your Highness. The Stormterror was previously defeated before that green dragon."

When the Stormterror attacked yesterday, the Abyss Mage was outside the city.

Thus, it witnessed the course of events.

The might of that green dragon was truly terrifying!

Even now, recalling that scene, fear filled its heart.

Hearing this answer, Aether fell into silence.

Because of their sibling relationship, he knew his sister very well.

Yet he had never before seen her wield the power to control wind.

Could it be power she acquired only recently?

"The Anemo Archon?"

A guess formed in Aether's mind.

However, he quickly ruled out this option.

For he had not yet been crowned!

Thus, he could not bestow such vast power upon Lumine.

Thinking of this, Aether felt a spark of interest.

He wanted to know where his sister had obtained this power.

"From now on, keep watch over Mondstadt. Without being discovered, gather intelligence as much as possible, including information on my sister.

If anything important occurs, report to me immediately."

Aether gave the order with a grave expression.

"Your Highness, speaking of Mondstadt, there is indeed one very important matter..."

The Abyss Mage recounted what it had seen outside Mondstadt City and put forward its suggestion.

"Your Highness, that three-headed silver-white dragon is no weaker than the Stormterror in either size or presence; it is perfectly suited for our plan."

"Immense wind-controlling abilities, a three-headed silver-white dragon... truly interesting. I did not expect so many events to have occurred in Mondstadt City."

Aether chuckled lightly, then gave another order.

"Since a three-headed silver-white dragon has appeared, news must surely spread. Go there and inquire cautiously; do not act rashly."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Inside Mondstadt City.

The Worry-Relief Bookstore.

After finishing lunch, Han Feng leisurely sipped tea once more, waiting for guests to arrive.

Not long after,

a girl with brown hair wearing a restaurant uniform walked in.

It was Sarah, the waitress from the Cat's Tail restaurant.

"Excuse me, is this the Worry-Relief Bookstore?"

Sarah cautiously surveyed the situation inside the comic shop.
