She's right, we can't keep wandering forever.
Ying looked back at Paimon; their relationship had grown much closer in the past few days.
So Ying drew on the sand and told Paimon about her origins and intentions.
"So, you came from beyond this world...drifted here? But when you wanted to leave here for the next world..."
Paimon listened carefully and roughly understood what Ying meant.
Chapter 265 What kind of luck is this?
"That's right, I want to find my brother!"
Ying's eyes revealed a resolute determination, and Paimon seemed to be infected by this emotion as well.
"Seriously, you've suddenly made me feel all touched."
Paimon couldn't help but put himself in Ying's shoes and think about it for a while.
If one's own blood relatives were kidnapped and their whereabouts were unknown, one would probably be more anxious than the traveler.
"Therefore, we should head to Mondstadt even more!"
Paimon shook his head and began to analyze the situation rationally.
"First, you can check if the wind god is the same deity that took your brother away. Hmm... although the wind god of Mondstadt hasn't appeared for hundreds of years, as long as we put in the effort, we'll find it eventually!"
"Secondly, the wind is the freest element. The wind can bring the seeds of stories. The wind god of Mondstadt controls the winds of all of Teyvat. His information should be the most reliable. He may know the whereabouts of your brother."
"Moreover, the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt possess one of the most advanced information systems in Teyvat. They have recorded a great deal of information, and perhaps we can find news about your brother in it."
Paimon's analysis truly touched Ying's heart.
"Shall we set off then?"
Paimon pointed to the surrounding jungle and asked Ying.
Without saying a word, the two silently embarked on their journey.
The two walked all the way to Starfall Lake, where Paimon explained the Seven Statues and their functions in detail.
After some attempts to sense her surroundings, Ying successfully regained a portion of her power through her interaction with the Seven God Statues.
Now, she can control the elemental power of wind.
"You can control the power of the elements without the Eye of God. You must be quite special."
Paimon's praise made Ying proudly put her hands on her hips.
I'm a genius!
However, the two had not been traveling far from Starfall Lake towards Mondstadt when they were stopped by a passing Favonius Knight.
"Hey, what are you two doing...?"
Hoffman initially thought they were just two Mondstadt civilians who had wandered into the area by mistake, and that he would simply teach them a lesson and take them back.
Upon closer inspection, Hoffman was completely stunned.
It’s amazing!
A blond traveler dressed in exotic attire, accompanied by a flying companion of an unknown race.
These striking features perfectly match the person Inatsume asked them to help find!
In fact, Hoffman was specifically dispatched here to patrol and coordinate the security forces in order to find the two of them.
The area between Windwatch and Stargazing Cliff is usually not frequented by many people and is not particularly dangerous. If it weren't for Inazuma's request for assistance, the Knights of Favonius would not have wasted manpower deploying here.
At most, we can just send out a few security vehicles and drones for regular patrols.
But... they just gave us so much.
In order to maintain the friendship between the two sides and deepen bilateral relations, the Knights of Favonius ultimately dispatched a large number of guards and three Knights of Favonius to patrol the area, mainly to search for targets.
If it weren't for the recent Stormterror that caused manpower to be redeployed, the scout knight Amber should be in this area right now.
And now, it's like it came to me without any effort at all; I just happened to stumble upon it?
"Where are you from, where are you going, and what are you doing here?"
Hoffman frowned and asked, beginning to confirm the identities of the two men.
"My name is Paimon, and this gentleman is the Traveler..."
Without Ying needing to say anything more, "God's Mouth" had already answered the question.
Ying simply nodded and agreed throughout.
It seems I was right!
She is indeed the person Inatsume is looking for.
But they said they came from the other side of the beach?
"Didn't you encounter any security agencies or patrol drones on your way here?"
Hoffman couldn't help but ask a question.
The distance was not short. Given the density of the guard aircraft and drones they deployed, as well as the frequency of their patrols, the two people with such obvious features should have been discovered and triggered the alarm long ago.
Unexpectedly, the two were stunned by Hoffman's words.
"What organization? We didn't see anything on the way here."
"Huh? I didn't see anything?"
Hoffman was somewhat bewildered by the two men's performance.
After a brief pause, he took out his terminal, which showed that the security agencies and drones in the area were patrolling along fixed or random routes.
However, after confirming the message twice, he found that none of the machines had any problems or alarms.
The two travelers both replied that they did not see a single piece of machinery.
"hiss……"
She managed to bypass hundreds of guard posts along the way without noticing her until she reached the vicinity of Starfall Lake, where she happened to be passing by on her way back from Mondstadt.
What kind of luck did they have?
Is it some kind of ghost?
"..."
Hoffman fell silent for a moment.
"Um, are you alright? We haven't broken any laws, have we?"
Seeing Hoffman staring intently at the projection without saying a word, Paimon waved his hand in concern in front of him.
"Oh? Oh, I'm fine. I was just thinking about how to improve the deployment of the security forces to prevent similar incidents from happening again."
Hoffman waved to them, indicating that they didn't need to worry about it.
"The sealing site of Stormterror is not far ahead, which is also the temporary base of the Knights of Favonius. It is heavily guarded. However, since it is you, there should be no problem. Follow me. Captain Jean, Captain Kaeya, Captain Abedo, and the Spark Knight are all there."
"Get in the car."
Ying was in the car, touching and exploring everything with great curiosity.
She'd seen plenty of cars, but this was definitely the first time she'd seen one in Teyvat.
In particular, despite its retro appearance, it is actually driven by an electric motor.
With the vehicle moving at high speed, this distance was covered very quickly.
At the Knights of Favonius' temporary encampment, Commander Jean, who had received advance notice from Hoffman, was already waiting outside the tent.
This is someone Inazuma paid a hefty sum to help them keep an eye out for and search for. This isn't some traveler; this is clearly their sugar daddy.
"Hello, traveler. I am the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius. You can call me Jean."
"Yes, Commander Qin."
Paimon answered first again.
However, Ying always felt that something was wrong at the temporary camp.
I have a feeling... the wind element around here is very strange.
A very powerful force is gathering here.
Is this the seal that sealed the so-called Wind Demon Dragon?
Ying raised her question to Qin.
"Yes, Stormterror attacked Mondstadt earlier, causing considerable damage and casualties. After it withdrew on its own, we found it sealed here by unknown individuals."
Is that so?
Ying felt that such a powerful force could only be created by someone who was capable of setting up a seal, and who knows, it might be the Wind God of Mondstadt.
Perfect, I can get a closer look at the seal and see if it's related to the god that attacked me and my brother.
Qin hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
With so many members in the Knights of Favonius and so much time spent trying to figure out the seal, what if this traveler, who is being closely watched by the Inazuma faction, could make a breakthrough?
However, to the surprise of the Knights of Favonius, Luminous became restless as it approached the seal of Stormterror and began to attack the seal.
At the same time, Ying also felt that the newly acquired wind elemental power in her body was becoming uncontrollable.
The simple-minded Ying just watched as several wisps of wind elemental energy flew toward the seal... and the seal imprisoning the Stormterror was broken directly by the Stormterror's roar.
Despite the pain from the poisonous stings, Dvalin surveyed the scene but found no trace of Barbatos.
Sure enough, I shouldn't have trusted that drunkard! He's probably drinking in some tavern again right now.
"Barbatos, get down to business!"
Dvalin's roar echoed in the hearts of everyone present.
Chapter 266 Commander Qin is a good person!
