People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 353: The Doctor: The Dragon of the East Wind? It's just a sick dragon, nothing to worry about!

On the other side,
Somewhere in a dark space filled with an ominous purple-black atmosphere and a unique architectural style.

Kong, who had tied his long golden hair into a braid, sighed deeply and looked at the letter that had just been delivered to him in his hand with some helplessness:

——Just like when he first met the Adventer,
The white unknown creature in the shape of a treasure-stealing weasel appeared in a way that he could not understand, in this place that theoretically could not be found by others.
The purpose of the other party coming over was just because the "signal was bad" here, so he delivered a letter manually.

Recalling the recent experiences,

For some reason, Kong always felt that even if he hid from the world, he might still be found by the other party without any pressure.

"."

He shook his head and put this groundless speculation aside for the time being.

He also opened the seemingly ordinary letter in front of him.

He wanted to know what the adventer, whose fighting ability was far stronger than his and his sister's, wanted from him.

"."

".Want to use the knowledge of the cult to study the power of the abyss and the earth veins?"

".So we haven't done this before. Is it because we finally chose Mond as the research site?"

Looking at the neat handwriting in the letter, which looked like a printed book,

Kong always felt that this thing was most likely not written by the other party himself.

Perhaps even the current form of letters is just due to some strange sense of ritual.

"."

There was a brief silence.
Recalling the suggestions I made to my sister after meeting her in Liyue some time ago,

Even now, Kong still can't forget the enormous power of the abyss that he felt from the other party at that time, as well as the surprisingly strong resistance to the abyss.

".Now it seems that the other party has no shortage of strength.
The reason for wanting to study the abyss this time is probably to obtain more countermeasures."

"But now that we have successfully coexisted with the power of the abyss of that magnitude,

It would be a waste if we don’t use it.”

I always feel that the other party is extremely cautious and indifferent to the help that the power of the abyss can provide.

Kong, who knew best how much it would cost for ordinary creatures to harness the power of the abyss, also felt an indescribable luxury in such an act:

——Although the power of the abyss is dangerous, it is a rare power that can help individuals achieve a leap in life level.

Faced with such unique conditions,

However, for some inexplicable reason, "his strength increased too quickly and it was a bit difficult for him to adapt, so he had no time to study the abyss", he chose to turn a blind eye to the opportunity that others were seeking but could not get.

He shook his head and recalled the knowledge about Kanria that he had inherited.

Kong knew that the more powerful an individual was, the more terrifying the additional bonus that the power of the abyss could provide would be.
Although the cult could no longer escape the enemy's sight, most of the original plans had been suspended, and the various preparations for the revival of the heavenly law had also been shelved.

But if he could help them realize the true potential of the power of the Abyss, then the Order might be able to achieve its goals in a way they had never imagined:
——No need to rely on any complicated planning and careful preparation, nor to use many tricks.

It's a return to the most primitive rules.
By accumulating absolute power that is enough to overwhelm the laws of nature, one can ensure that one has the ability to defeat the enemy in a head-on battle.

“.Is it enough to defeat the power of “Heavenly Principle” in a head-on battle?
There is still some time. If he continues to grow at this rate, maybe he can really do it."

Suddenly I realized that compared to many complicated plans, this simplest and purest method is the least likely to make mistakes.
While in deep thought,
I also decided to study carefully how to make the other party believe that the power of the abyss is really not a dispensable force.

As for the mention in the letter that his sister had also arrived in Mond?

——She doesn’t need to worry about these things and can just enjoy a pure journey.

at the same time,

In the commercial district northeast of Mondstadt, near the Goethe Hotel.

I didn't know that my brother who I was looking for so hard had put me in the "go play" category.
Still feeling a bit excited, Ying brought Paimon to find their next residence in Mond according to the address written by Qin.

Look left and right,

It was discovered that there were many Fatui members in this area wearing winter clothes and masks.
Ying, who had hardly seen many members of the Fatui in Liyue before, looked at the "gold medal guide" beside her with some surprise:
".According to the suggestion of the leader of the Qin group, the residence given to us is a property under the name of the Gunnhild family.
After it was vacant, it was maintained by the Gothic family, who were engaged in the hotel and real estate business in the city.

But we came to the address of the contact person Ludwig.

But looking at the attire of these people nearby, they must be the Fatui of Winter, right?"

"Well, this uniform and mask are indeed those of the Fatui.

But Paimon doesn’t know why there are so many bad guys here.”

Since I have seen many records related to the actions of the Fatui in the void before,
I even encountered an unreasonable Fatui executive who started a fight right away.
Paimon and Ying, who are also members of the Imperial Court, have no good feelings towards this organization which has a bad reputation in most countries.

I am worried that I will be neighbors with these fools in the future and I will see them every day when I go out.

Just thinking about it makes me feel that this environment is not very pleasant.

They also tried to find Ludwig based on the characteristics given by Qin, wanting to ask what the specific situation was.

"."

"Well, looking at the documents the two guests brought with them, could it be that you are the hero who captured a bunch of treasure-stealing gangs?"

!!!

"Huh?! When did you appear behind Paimon?"

"I was so scared, Paimon thought it was the Fatui coming to chase us away."

I was concentrating on finding someone among the fools in front of me, but suddenly I heard a greeting from behind me.
A white-haired ball flying in the air froze for a moment, and only relaxed when it saw an elderly white-haired man behind it.

"——Haha, sorry, I'm old and don't have much strength to walk."

"——I am the owner of the Goethe Hotel. People usually call me Old Goethe.
If I'm not mistaken, the deeds you two are holding should belong to somewhere, right?

Could it be that you are the guests who are coming here to see me today?"

Having been engaged in the real estate industry for generations, old Goethe noticed the title deed with the seal of the Knights from a distance.

Thinking of a house that I had someone clean two days ago,

He was also somewhat surprised that the person who took over the Gunhild family's property would be such a young blonde girl.

"."

"Ah? The appearance does make sense. But the person we're looking for should be called Ludwig."

Looking at the features marked by Jean, Paimon scratched his head in confusion. "Hehe, I'm Ludwig, Goethe is just my last name.

It’s just that because I run the Goethe Hotel, people gradually start calling me Old Goethe.”

"——Since you can mention this name, it seems that you are indeed the receiver of the property. Would you mind showing me the handover documents from the Knights?"

Although combined with some rumors in the city, it has been basically confirmed that the girl in front of him is one of the heroes who wiped out the treasure-stealing group,

But after all, this kind of thing still has to follow procedures, and he also plans to check the documents before leading the way.

After a while,

He handed back the handover document with the seals of the Knights and the Gunhild family.

He also took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Ying and Paimon in front of him.

"."

"Here, this is the Goethe family's VIP card.
The two of you have captured so many treasure-stealing gangs, so you are naturally the heroes of Mondstadt.
If you need maintenance or renovation in the future, you can use this to exchange for services at a discounted price.”

"Well, although the Goethe Hotel is now booked indefinitely by Master Pantalone of the Fatui, our family still has some other businesses."

The value of the Gunnhild family's real estate is clear to all.

Old Goethe was sure that the two people in front of him would be potential customers in the future, so before leading the way, he introduced his own business for the first time in a long time.

A street on the south side of Mondstadt, near the city gate.

After leaving the hotel, old Goethe slowly led Ying and Paimon to their residence.

After briefly introducing the house,

He was also somewhat surprised to hear a question that had nothing to do with the house from the little guest floating in the air in front of him:
"Why are there so many Fatui in Mondstadt? Who is Master Pantalone?"

"Well, basically everyone in Mond knows these two pieces of information. However, since you two have just arrived, you may indeed feel a little confused."

After sorting out his thoughts, Old Goethe explained in detail, thinking of building a good relationship now:

".A few years ago, there was a monster riot outside Mondstadt.
The scale of that riot was unprecedented. Not only the slimes and hillbillies, but even the legendary dragon Usa participated in the attack. "

".Later, when the situation was most critical, the executive officer of the Winter Solstice, "Doctor", suddenly appeared and subdued Ursa, and the monster riot was quickly quelled. "

".Because of their help to Mondstadt, Fatui can be seen frequently in Mondstadt since then.
Although some people in the city speculated that the reason the monsters rioted was because... ahem."

It seemed that he realized that he had said something that should not be said.
Old Goethe also coughed twice and changed the topic:
"——After all, our Goethe family is only engaged in real estate. I don't know much about that "doctor".

But Master Pantalone is a generous man.

He was very generous. In order to improve the living conditions of the Faints, he booked the Goethe Hotel indefinitely.
Although this is somewhat inconsistent with the Goethe family's purpose of "serving Mond", the money he gave is really too much.
I believe that when you see that huge sum of money, you can understand why he is called a “rich man.”

“‘Rich’? So this is also an executive?”

In a short time, I heard the names of the two executives from the other party.
Paimon and Ying looked at each other and discovered that the Fatui in Mondstadt were indeed much more active than in Liyue.

"Um, executive officer?"

"Of course, but this is a generous executive.
Master Pantalone is kindhearted, unlike those stingy and demanding merchants in Zhidong."

Apparently, he had a very good impression of this executive.

As soon as he recalled the price offered by the other party, old Goethe couldn't help but express a lot of praise in his words.

"Ahem, okay."

"——This is the property you two are going to take over. Please keep the keys and title deeds safe.

If you need to buy furniture later, just come to the address I told you before.

We, the Goethe family, offer our distinguished guests the lowest prices possible.”

After handing the two keys to Ying and Paimon, Old Goethe looked at the two-story building in front of him, which was made entirely of stone and had a small courtyard, and felt a little envious:

——People who don’t know much about this might think that this house is no different from any other.
But today, perhaps only these aristocratic properties with a long history can still retain the garden structure in Mondstadt.

"."

Seeing that the two had happily walked into their new house,

Old Goethe, who had left his contact information, did not return the same way, but planned to find a sunny place to rest:
——It’s not that he is unwilling to serve those fools who have spent a lot of money, but they don’t seem to like the presence of outsiders.

Ever since they booked the Goethe Hotel, not to mention any additional services, even the cleaning staff inside were replaced by their own.

He shook his head. Anyway, he made a lot of money and was happy to have some free time.
Old Goethe also put this matter behind him and no longer thought about the reason for these strange rules.

On the other side, there is the Fatui base under the snowy mountains.

In the laboratory that was still emitting an eerie white light,

The doctor looked at the report in front of him and showed a rare bit of excitement:
".Has the location of the East Wind Dragon's temple been completely determined?"

"Very good. Now we can prepare for the capture later."

Recalling the series of experimental breakthroughs he had made from Ursa after capturing him,

He had very high expectations for the value of creatures like dragons.

"."

".But, Master, I heard that the East Wind Dragon is much more powerful than Usa, will it be..."

Although it was clear that it was best not to disturb the doctor at this time, Kroeber, who was standing by, thought of the information he had collected.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked with some uneasiness.

"Heh - creatures like dragons are very powerful in the eyes of ordinary people, but so what?"

"The entire Mondstadt could allow a top-notch experimental subject like Usa to wreak havoc for thousands of years. The strength they claim to be is of no reference value at all."

He expressed his sarcasm without hesitation.
Dotore, who was also worried about the useless people under his command, also told us his action plan:

"——According to the information we have collected, ever since the battle between the two dragons on the snowy mountain five hundred years ago,
Our target this time suffered extremely serious damage and has not appeared in the outside world so far."

"The most ridiculous thing is that even the Mond people themselves have forgotten the name of the East Wind Guardian.

So no one will bother us at all.”

"——The flow of the earth veins in the secret realm can isolate the perception of the outside world.
In order to prevent you bunch of idiots from messing things up, I will personally use another plan to distract the outside world.
As long as our actions are sufficiently covert, what accidents can I expect if I personally take action against this reptile that has been so badly injured that it has been dormant for hundreds of years?"

He did not hide his confidence at all. Last time, he made a series of preparations to hunt Usa, but the opponent's strength disappointed him greatly.
He thinks he is the best among all the slices.
Dotore, who had successfully captured a dragon once, was filled with disdain.
I totally don't believe in the power of the so-called elemental dragons recorded in those classics.
