"I received news from Liyue a few days ago that the young master's mission seems to have failed as well. In his report, he mentioned a strange sea beast, and the description is very similar to the one that appeared today."

The Fools' ability to execute tasks efficiently relies to some extent on the rapid sharing of intelligence.

While maintaining secrecy, try to spread intelligence to as many places as possible.

Regarding the capture of the scourge, the young master felt it necessary to mention that strange sea beast.

"A sea beast that may possess the bloodline of a demon god?"

After reading the message conveyed by the young master, the lady raised an eyebrow.

"Let the doctor worry about this himself. I don't have that much free time."

"What if it appears again next time..."

"If it reappears, we'll find a way to kill it. We only need Stormterror. We should eliminate any other factors that might cause problems."

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Just wait and see. Those guys in the Abyss won't give up so easily. We just need to keep an eye on things. As for other matters, try to keep them secret and don't give the Knights of Favonius any leverage."

"Yes!"

...

On the other side, Qin dragged her tired body back to the office.

She saw Yura waiting there alone.

Where's Klee?

Yura pointed in the direction of the confinement room, meaning that the little guy had already gone back to his cage on his own.

"Are you alright?"

"No."

"That's good."

Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

Klee was taken away by an unknown behemoth, and despite Amber's assurances, she was still uneasy.

Fortunately, she returned safely and is now able to focus all her energy on handling affairs.

However, she still couldn't think of a good solution to the current dragon disaster.

Dvalin is entrenched in the Wind Dragon Ruins, where the terrain is complex, and the monster riots caused by the abnormal ley lines make it unrealistic to go in and investigate.

Although Jean did not agree with the proposal to annihilate Dvalin, in reality, given the current strength of the Knights of Favonius, killing Dvalin was simply impossible.

After all, that's a giant dragon soaring through the sky. Who would be foolish enough to stand on the ground and let them kill them?

Rather, she should say that she's already grateful to the wind god that Dvalin hasn't gone on a rampage against Mondstadt.

To kill Dvalin, you'd have to get the Fools involved.

But if that happens, the situation will spiral out of control, and the Fools will definitely take the opportunity to demand more from Mondstadt.

Those guys don't 'show their love' for no reason.

Jean was well aware of these things, but the angry Mondstadt citizens would lose their judgment as a result, and as their leader, she had to constantly remind them.

You look very tired.

A hint of worry flashed in Yura's eyes.

"Don't let him collapse from exhaustion like last time."

"I am fine."

Qin shook her head slightly, then, remembering something, turned to look at Yura.

"I heard from Amber that you know the sea monster that took Klee away?"

Yura paused for a moment, then nodded subconsciously.

To say we know each other is not quite right; we've only met once.

If we hadn't met later inside the snow-capped mountains, we probably wouldn't have had the chance to meet again.

However, when Jean said that, Yura immediately realized Amber's intention.

“I saw him take Klee away before, so I went to look for her along Cider Lake and actually found her. As for me and him... well, we're friends.”

"Is he a demon god?"

"this..."

Yura was conflicted.

"Probably," she thought, but she couldn't reveal Su Zhe's information, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "I'm not really sure either. I've never asked him. I originally thought it was just an ordinary whale. I was quite surprised to see him rescue Klee from the Wind Demon Dragon."

"Qin...what's wrong? Are you bothered by him?"

“Hmm.” Jean nodded seriously. “If he were also a demon god, Dvalin would likely become even more violent because of his existence. But… thinking about it from another perspective, the interaction between demon gods might be easier than ours. If he could convey goodwill to Dvalin on our behalf, perhaps Dvalin wouldn’t be like this.”

"Therefore, his presence is very important and could very well affect the situation that follows."

"Send Kyogre to convey goodwill?"

Yura fell silent.

Is this even possible?

Putting aside the possibility of the matter itself, just based on that kick on the fruit wine lake, Yura felt that there was probably no possibility of a friendly conversation between these two big shots.

After all, judging from the previous situation, it would be considered good if the fighting didn't cause the heavens and earth to collapse or even destroy the laws of nature.

“I know what you’re worried about, but right now this is the only thing worth trying. Between demons... it might be simpler than we think. Besides, your friend’s attack was to save someone, so Dvalin might... well, he might understand.”

In the end, Qin also became somewhat insecure.

She's not a demon god, so how could she possibly know what demon gods are thinking?

"What if Kyogre isn't a demon god?"

Yura's words plunged Qin into silence.

"ε=(′ο`*)))"

Qin walked back to her desk and sat down.

If it's not a demon god, then it's even more troublesome. Dvalin will definitely continue to look for the culprit who kicked it.

Seeing the fatigue on Qin's face, Yura felt a little sorry for her.

Why should this kind of thing be left to her to handle?

That damned Amber, I'll remember this grudge!

If it were anyone else, Yura would have been ruthless and ignored it.

Keqin was very good to her, and she had always been taken care of by Keqin. Yura really couldn't bear to see Keqin continue to be troubled like this.

After hesitating for a while, Yura said, "Actually... Kyogre should be a demon god, right? He can talk."

"Hmm?" Qin looked up, her face showing surprise. "He can talk?"

"Yes, although they don't speak like we humans."

"That's very possible!"

As far as Qin knows, apart from a few species, only those with the bloodline of demon gods can communicate and understand each other across species through special means.

This might be one of the abilities belonging to the 'authority' of the demon god.

Yura's words stirred Qin's mind again.

Seeing this, Yura simply took the opportunity to repeat Su Zhe's request. Since Qin wanted Su Zhe's help, it would be fair for her to help Su Zhe in return.

Chapter 5: The Lady Appears, the Angry Sky Dragon, Barbatos Gets to Business >>

"The Bulster family's map? Wait a minute..."

Qin walked to the bookshelf, pulled out a file, and flipped through it for a while.

“I’ve got it. Back when we were copying… cough cough~ we did take in a lot of Mr. Wade’s belongings during the renovation. I remember that map was hidden very well.”

The residential buildings were rebuilt, and the original buildings were demolished. The map was well hidden and well protected. When the Knights discovered it, they immediately reported it to Jean, so Jean remembered it.

However, the map was quite old and only half-finished, so after studying it with the other members of the Knights, they didn't come up with any useful information.

Later, Lisa took it.

"Yura, go to the library and find Lisa. The map is with her."

"..."

The usually shrewd and capable Wave Knight's expression changed noticeably upon hearing the name Lisa.

She had great confidence in Lisa's abilities, but had a different opinion about the latter's character.

She was a troublesome woman; her head was filled with thousands, maybe tens of thousands of books, and she could rattle off the Lawrence family’s dark history at will, with the dates of every single event perfectly accurate, which gave Yura a real headache.

Their relationship was just that of ordinary colleagues, or perhaps even worse.

"Never mind, I'll go."

Seemingly sensing Yura's predicament, Qin smiled and left the room.

Yura breathed a sigh of relief.

But before they could be happy for long, Qin came back, and then Lisa came too.

Since obtaining the map, Lisa has been studying it, as well as researching a great deal about Wade Bulster's deeds.

According to her investigation, she discovered that Wade was searching for clues about the Time Demon, which caused quite a stir in Mondstadt at the time. After all, Wade was a nobleman, not an ordinary adventurer, and the Time Demon was only a legend.

However, Lisa discovered that this half of the map might actually contain information about the Time Demon.

Upon hearing Lisa's words, Yura was immediately stunned.

She knew more about Su Zhe than anyone else. As a follower of the gods, he was now looking for the map of the Time Demon God. Did that mean that the god he worshipped was the Time Demon God?

So, the existence of the Time Demon God isn't just a legend?

So, is the secret beneath the snow country also related to the Time Demon God?
