The merchants put pressure on each other, but after several days, they only received news that the Seven Stars were still arguing about it.

It is said that there are great disagreements among the seven stars, and they have not been able to reach a consensus on this matter. The two groups of people who support and oppose each hold their own views and have their own reasons, and neither of them has been able to convince the other.

In the "accidental" leak of information, people learned that the one who had always been the first to oppose it was actually Tianquan Xing Ningguang.

This, ironically, made everyone lose confidence.

That is the Heavenly Power Condensed Light.

Her judgment has never been wrong.

It's important to know that even the scraps of paper that Ningguang tore up and threw away during the analysis process were bought up at high prices, with people hoping to find some unique information on them.

What benefits would it bring to merchants if this thing were to spread unchecked?

They looked and looked, but still couldn't come to a conclusion.

If we only show it to them, that's fine. They won't contradict themselves, they can reverse the process, be more targeted, reduce costs and increase efficiency, and make them more profitable.

But it wouldn't be good if there were no restrictions and the workers could watch it too.

Unfortunately, they had no way of finding out what the Seven Stars were discussing, nor could they know what benefits Ningguang had discovered, or what benefits they could gain from it.

The original proposal was blocked and failed to pass. In fact, due to Tianquan Ningguang's opposition, the morale of the merchants was demoralized.

These wavering people had a simple thought process: "If even Lady Ningguang says it's wrong, then it must be wrong. Forget it."

It's no longer realistic to apply the same level of pressure as before.

After much debate, the only result was that the Seven Stars issued a temporary order restricting discussion in public, which served as a response to the merchants.

As for further action, that remains a point of contention.

Compared to the arguments in Liyue, things are much better in Mondstadt next door.

Diluc doesn't care.

Diluc remains unmoved, and the other merchants in Mondstadt also have limited capabilities.

Most importantly, given the Mondstadt people's "free" nature, it's hard to say what kind of impact it will have.

Actually, nobody really cares.

The Church of the West Wind is similar; their evaluation of the gods is relatively objective, and they even feel that some of its content aligns with Lord Barbatos's ideals of freedom and could be promoted.

The only ones who were unhappy and started cursing were probably those old aristocratic forces.

Unfortunately, they and their few lackeys had no effect whatsoever, and the Knights of Favonius remained firmly in control of the situation.

Not only can the people of Mondstadt openly discuss and spread this content, but the Knights of Favonius even used it as evidence to refute those who advocated privatizing fully automated machines and snow mountain resources.

In such a harmonious scene, an unexpected incident occurred, as expected.

Dragon Disaster!

A sudden dragon, accompanied by a hurricane, struck Mondstadt.

Mondstadt's defenses were hastily engaged in battle, with only a small number of anti-aircraft guns providing anti-aircraft firepower.

They pose absolutely no threat to the dragon.

On the contrary, it angered the dragon in the sky.

People call it the Wind Demon Dragon.

Just as the Wind Demon Dragon was preparing its next attack, and Qin had begun to mobilize everyone to fight back, the direction of the wind quietly changed.

The cannon fire originally aimed at Stormterror was scattered by the wind.

"Tvalin, don't be afraid, I'm back."

Such a sound is carried on the flowing wind.

"Come, follow me..."

A glimmer of clarity appeared in the eyes of the Wind Demon Dragon.

Then, ceasing their attack on Mondstadt below, they left following the wind.

This undoubtedly relieved the people of Mondstadt, who had assumed that Stormterror had been forced back by their attacks.

“Amber, please go and track down Stormterror’s movements immediately. Abedor, Mondstadt urgently needs air detection equipment and more powerful anti-air weapons. Please prepare them. Also, Lisa, we need to find out about Stormterror’s origins. This will take up some of your time to look up information.”

Qin gazed in the direction the Wind Demon Dragon had gone, and with a heavy heart, quickly made arrangements.

Mondstadt suffered considerable losses due to the sudden attack by Stormterror.

Some people were blown away by the hurricane, and some houses were blown down by the hurricane.

We still don't know why it attacked Mondstadt, but if there's a next time, we can't afford to be as passive as we are now.

"No problem, leave it to me!" *3

The three received orders and quickly left in different directions.

On the other side, the abyss mage appeared on Dvalin's back in a fit of rage, babbling in an unknown language.

At the last moment, they actually disobeyed their orders!

It seems that it's still not thorough enough, not up to par.

Then let's put in even more effort!

After a series of incoherent cries, Dvalin seemed to have been stimulated by something and let out a long cry.

However, what the Abyss Mage didn't notice at all was that a gaze from afar gradually darkened.

Barbatos, the wind god, who goes by the alias Wendy, was very fortunate to wake up immediately after receiving the message from the old man.

Otherwise, we probably wouldn't be seeing this scene now.

With a wave of his hand, he controlled the wind elemental force to create a vacuum field, tearing the abyss mage to shreds. Then, he created a powerful airflow, blowing pieces of indescribable matter directly into the sea.

The man and the dragon landed near Xingluo Lake.

"Tvarin..."

Wendy rushed over to check on Tvalin's condition.

The poisonous blood of the dragon Durin contains the power of the abyss.

Dvalin's attack on Mondstadt was likely influenced by these torments and the Abyss, triggering some unpleasant memories and clouding his judgment.

This situation is a bit tricky.

It's broken; I can't handle it myself, and I can't purify it.

Seeing the pained expression on Tvalin's face, but... he really had no choice.

Wendy felt a little numb.

The only thing they could do was gather wind elemental power to suppress Dvalin's pain as much as possible.

"Um, Tvalin, I can't help you fully recover right now. Why don't you sleep for a while, and I'll think of something else?"

Wendy spoke to Dvalin, who was still relatively lucid, in a consultative tone.

Tvalin simply nodded silently.

At least Barbatos said he would try to find a solution.

He's finally willing to do something productive.

Dvalin closed his eyes with a sense of relief.

Wendy, on the other side, recalled the look in Dvalin's eyes before he went into hibernation, completely bewildered.

It felt somewhat familiar, but I couldn't quite place the look in its eyes.

After setting up a powerful enough seal to ensure it wouldn't be destroyed by the Abyss Order and leaving his senses behind, Venti left.

The abyss mages, who were secretly observing from the shadows, exchanged glances.

The Wind God woke up early and even got involved in their affairs.

That unlucky colleague is gone.

Dvalin is now protected by the seal of the wind god, and at least they have no way to deal with it.

The two chattered for a while, and finally reported it up the chain of command to His Highness the Prince.

Flight attendant: "???"

what?

what happened?

This is different from what was promised.

What happened to my huge Stormterror? And now Dvalin has been sealed away?

This...this isn't right!

Kong was lost in confusion.

Chapter 229 A Series of Big News

Immediately after the Mondron disaster, a large number of pictures and videos were spread like wildfire, and reporters from various media outlets in Teyvat rushed to report on them, which naturally reached Inazuma as well.

Following closely behind was an urgent order from the Knights of Favonius to purchase air defense and air force equipment.

People speculated about the identity of Stormterror and who was behind it. In particular, Mondstadt people immediately suspected the old Mondstadt nobles, such as the Lawrence family, saying that they were retaliating against the Knights of Favonius and the residents of Mondstadt. Rumors spread like wildfire.

The Lawrence family, along with several other old Mondstadt noble families, suddenly became pariahs, hated by everyone. The Knights of Favonius had to urgently issue a denial and, at this critical moment when manpower was scarce, reluctantly arranged for special personnel to provide protection.

However, it's easy to spread rumors, but incredibly difficult to refute them. Not only was the Knights of Favonius's attempt to debunk the rumors ineffective, but people also turned their attention to other areas.

The Fools, the Abyss Order, the Treasure Thieves, and others were all suspected.

The Mondstadt Dragon Plague has become the second most popular topic in Teyvat recently, second only to the Inazuma Outbreak, and even surpasses it in popularity, especially within Mondstadt itself.

The onlookers in Teyvat were amazed, saying that there had been one big news story after another lately, and Teyvat hadn't been this lively in a long time.

First came the great upheaval in Inazuma, then the Mondstadt disaster.
