Chapter 355

~8 min read 1,526 words

As expected, just as she had guessed, they were from another world.

It sounded like they had quite the background.

"Otherworld's Immernachtreich?"

While Keqing was deep in thought, Yelan beside her also fell into deep thought.

This name, she seemed to have heard it somewhere before; it sounded familiar, but she couldn't recall the specifics.

"Greetings, Prinzessin, Oz, and Mona."

The next second, Keqing stopped thinking about it and spoke up: "I wonder what this method you mentioned is?"

Since these two were able to find them, Keqing was willing to trust them.

"Before waking everyone who has fallen into a dream, I will tell you my findings first."

Hearing Keqing's words, Mona said: "Before coming here, there were many problems in Mondstadt as well. Through divination, I found that the ley line energy here is the most concentrated."

"According to my divination results, these meteorites seem to be someone's Constellation."

"Constellation?"

Hearing Mona's words, Keqing frowned: "Is that an astrologist's way of speaking, or?"

"Generally speaking, ordinary people would think so. But I have studied astrology for a long time and know some things you don't."

Mona explained: "The 'Fate Stars' on the 'Constellation' are celestial bodies that truly exist in the depths of the sky, not things that exist only in concept."

"The problem now is that they have fallen as meteorites, which means they are shattered. As for why they shattered, I still don't know to this day."

"This Prinzessin has said, it is a curse."

Beside her, Fischl put her hands on her hips and said with certainty: "This Prinzessin has galloped through the stars and has glimpsed a corner of the truth from behind the curtain of darkness. The cursed land, the evil thoughts of 'humans'—only those who died in great pain would leave behind such deep resentment."

"One should question the inhabitants of this land: who committed such an unforgivable sin! Whoever gave birth to the undead is the true culprit!"

Keqing: "????"

Hearing Fischl's words, Keqing was full of confusion. What did that mean?

Yelan also fell into deep thought, wondering what Fischl's words meant.

Mona: "......"

Lin Mo: "......"

"If you want to solve the puzzle, you need to find out the owner of the Constellation. I will investigate this matter; you don't need to help."

The next second, Mona took out a map and said: "This is the location of the meteorite falls that I helped you divine. I have marked them on a general map of Liyue. With this map, you can easily find the whereabouts of all the meteorites and have Vision holders clear them."

"Thank you for your help."

Hearing Mona's words, Keqing and Yelan looked at each other and immediately took it.

Mona's divination of the meteorite locations was still a great help to Liyue.

After all, for Liyue, it would still take manpower to search for the meteorites, and that would require time.

But now, with Mona's divination, and with her having roughly calculated the locations, Liyue only needed to send people to the destinations to resolve them.

For a moment, Keqing took it and thanked Mona earnestly.

"It's just a small effort."

Seeing Keqing thanking her, Mona pondered: "And we have mastered another piece of information, which is that everyone who has fallen asleep says the same thing: a snow-capped mountain that reaches into the clouds, never seen before, with extremely low temperatures, and in their dreams, everyone uncontrollably wants to climb to the top of the mountain."

"And I also found a clue: a person named Leonard. Other than that, there is no other information. Keqing, as the Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing, you can look into this clue."

"Leonard?"

Hearing Mona's words, Keqing was thoughtful: "Does this meteor shower have anything to do with this guy? I understand; I will order people to search the Liyue archives."

"If I am not mistaken, this Leonard should be an adventurer from Mondstadt from two thousand years ago."

Beside them, Lin Mo's vague memory gradually became clear, and he said knowingly: "He also has a work titled 'Mountains and Seas.' I believe the Mondstadt library must have records of this work."

"You actually know?!"

Hearing this, Mona looked over with a surprised expression and said hurriedly: "May I ask who you are?"

She didn't seem to have heard this person introduce himself just now.

"Just call me Lin Mo."

Hearing Mona's words, Lin Mo nodded and said: "The greatest wish of the adventurer Leonard was to climb all kinds of peaks. However, this adventurer encountered obstacles when climbing Pilos Peak, and coupled with the fact that he was already in his twilight years, he eventually passed away with regrets. And this meteorite is actually the spiritual will of this adventurer, which is why those affected by the meteorite dream of themselves constantly climbing in the snow-capped mountains."

"So that's how it is."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Mona's expression changed drastically.

The answer she had been searching for was actually found here with Lin Mo.

It wasn't just Mona who was shocked; Keqing and Yelan beside her also looked over in surprise: "Lin Mo, you know?"

That Lin Mo would actually know this—it was too surprising for them.

One had to know that Lin Mo was only invited by them last night to investigate.

And yet, he had already found the result on the second day.

【Your remarks have caused others to be surprised, Influence +50】

【Your remarks have caused others to discuss, Influence +100】

【Your remarks have caused others to be shocked, Influence +150】

And at this moment, Lin Mo, looking at the flickering Influence points, nodded gently; not bad Influence points.

The biggest share should have been contributed by Mona.

"This isn't any secret; if one reads more books, one can learn about it."

Seeing the surprised women, Lin Mo shook his head and laughed: "As an adventurer, any adventurer who can write a book will be recorded in the Adventurers' Guild, whether in Mondstadt or Liyue. You can just go and search for it to find out."

"If there is anyone who is familiar with the history of the Adventurers' Guild, then they will surely know this person."

"Of course, this meteor shower is indeed not simple; the reason it could fall is because of the Fatui."

"So this explains why there are Fatui paying attention to this meteorite."

"So that's how it is."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Keqing and Yelan understood.

"It's fortunate that we brought you along."

The next second, Keqing let out a long sigh and looked at Lin Mo with a smile.

Lin Mo really knows so much.

The problem that had been troubling them was solved so quickly.

"Oh, mortal, you know quite a lot."

Fischl struck a noble pose, arms crossed over her chest, a hint of pride appearing in her eyes: "As expected of someone this Prinzessin values. What other information do you know? Present it quickly."

Lin Mo: "...."

Seeing Fischl, who was chuunibyou from the moment she opened her mouth, Lin Mo pinched his chin and looked Fischl up and down, making her twist her black-stockinged legs uncomfortably: "Why are you looking at this Prinzessin like that? Could it be that you are attracted by this Prinzessin's peerless beauty?"

As she spoke, Fischl lifted her chin slightly, her eyes squinting.

"Actually, I have also read 'Flowers for Princess Fischl'."

Lin Mo remained calm and looked at Fischl with great interest: "Besides, I also know an unknown name, Amy.."

"Eh? Ah~?!"

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Fischl, who was just feeling proud and waiting for Lin Mo's praise, widened her eyes, her earlobes turning slightly red, and she stammered: "You, how could you know?"

In an instant, a sense of shame surged from the bottom of Fischl's heart.

Fischl's Prinzessin persona was no longer present, and she was stammering.

Fischl's tone suddenly stalled, and the confidence and pride in her eyes collapsed instantly. That arrogant posture seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, collapsing bit by bit.

Her cheeks were stained with a clear blush, as if stimulated by the cold wind of winter, while also carrying a touch of embarrassed shyness.

Without the slightest hesitation, before Lin Mo could say the last word, Fischl hurriedly reached out to cover Lin Mo's mouth with a blushing face, then pulled Lin Mo to the side and whispered: "You, you shameless mortal! How dare you expose this Prinzessin's secret!"

Fischl's lips trembled slightly; her chuunibyou arrogance and majesty appeared so fragile in the face of reality.

When pulling Lin Mo, she still turned her back, not wanting anyone to see her.

The blush on her cheeks spread to her earlobes like the evening glow, and the feeling of shame and anger made her voice tremble.

However, that shyness was mixed with a touch of embarrassed cuteness, like a cat caught by its tail, wanting to struggle yet afraid of truly escaping.

"Mm?"

Seeing Lin Mo, who was just speaking, suddenly have his mouth covered by Fischl and be pulled to the side, Keqing's brows furrowed slightly.

Why did this Prinzessin suddenly do that?
