บท 11: Abandoned Temples of the Four Winds!

Chapter 11

Lisa's bountiful breasts were squeezing his arm. Jason also coughed slightly to ease the embarrassment, "Lisa, stop joking!"

"Due to Stormterror's activities, the number of customers in Good Hunter has been reduced lately. It looks like Jason's heart has been hooked by some other girls during this period!"

Lisa spoke rather resentfully and turned her gaze at Jean intentionally. She knew about Jean's visit to Good Hunter before.

"Lisa, you should pay more attention to your image. Don't show such a lazy and unsightly side in front of Amber and others!" Jean asked Lisa to pay more attention to the occasion since there were also juniors of the knights present.

Usually, at this time, Lisa used to go to Good Hunters for afternoon tea.

But today she can't enjoy her tea time due to the dragon disaster.

And Jason didn't even bring her takeout when he came back.

So, that's why she accumulated some dissatisfaction.

"Actually, everyone in the knights knows about Lisa's habits..." Amber said embarrassedly.

Lisa is known for being lazy and bored, lacking interest in anything usual. But, nonetheless, she fulfilled her duty as a librarian efficiently without any flaw. Therefore, no one can point her out.

She is one of the people Amber looks up to. Amber also wants to be mature and reliable like her.

"I'm not lazy. I just know to save my energy for when I need it most. It's better to get twice the result with half the effort."

Lisa explained her ideal and then preached, "If possible, I hope Jean can learn to rest! Seeing how hard you work makes me distressed."

"Uh-hmmm..." Jason also agreed. Jean really needs some quality rest time.

Jean was quite speechless after hearing this, "How come the topic has suddenly become a criticism of me?"

"After all, everyone's nerves have been tense today. It's better to make some joke and let everyone relax." Lisa smiled and said. She wanted to liven the atmosphere.

"However, Lumine, your arrival to Mondstadt at such a time is too coincidental," Lisa mumbled to herself, then changed the topic.

"Stormterror has caused quite a commotion in the region since its recent resurgence. Simply put, Mondstadt's elemental sphere and ley lines are now akin to a yarn ball in a kitten's paws."

"For a mage, it couldn't get much worse. My skin is one elemental particle away from a full-blown breakout."

After Lisa said this, she looked at Jason and hinted at him intentionally.

She wants to drink a refreshing ice drink!

"Qingxin flower is out of stock recently." Jason spread his hands out and said helplessly.

Jean, unable to withstand the two of them, said, "In short, because of its interference, the knights can't provide you with any help except for posting missing person notices throughout the city."

"We simply ask that you repose in Mondstadt. After solving this incident, we will help you seek out your brother," Jean added.

For Lumine and Paimon, who fought against the dragon for the sake of the people of Mondstadt, Jean felt guilty for not being able to provide any help.

"Jason?" Lumine asked for his opinion.

"Lumine, we should help out as well, right?" Jason suddenly asked.

If Lumine wants to upgrade and level up, going out into the wild and going to the ruins are the same.

"That's right, Jean, you can also include us," Paimon said, thinking about the rewards after solving the incident.

Lumine nodded in agreement.

"So, is Boss Jason also willing to help?" Kaeya asked with some expectation.

"Good Hunter is located in Mondstadt. So, I need to help the city in such a time." Jason said as a matter of course.

He needs to maintain a good reputation amongst the people of Mondstadt for the well-being of his business. Therefore, naturally, he should provide help in times of crisis.

"That's great." Kaeya felt that the burden on his shoulder was loosened quite a bit. "In that case, we need a plan."

Jean started speaking, "With Stormterror now directly attacking Mondstadt, we may have an opportunity to cut this problem off at the source."

"Lisa has revealed the sources of Stormterror's powers with her detection magic!" Jean added.

"Is that so?" Kaeya asked.

"They're located in the abandoned Four Winds' Temples." Lisa replied, "Stormterror's ability to whip up these kinds of storms can be attributed to drawing power from the temples."

Jean nodded, "Our objective is to deal with three of the four temples. I trust everyone understands why we are only dealing with three."

"Paimon doesn't." Paimon raised her hands.

"It must be a local thing." Lumine whispered to her, "We'll ask later..."

Jean began to make detailed plans.

"The participation of Jason and Lumine is a big help to us. The knights are really short of manpower at the moment."

In the city of Mondstadt, there must be a certain number of knights present to protect the people and maintain order.

After having experienced such a disaster today, in addition to dealing with the aftermaths, the main objective of the knights is to suppress the restless Fatui minions inside the city, lest they do something harmful to the city while the defense was empty.

"Amber, you are in charge of the nearest temple. After finishing the preliminary investigation, you should wait for Jason and Lumine before acting, understand?" Jean asked Amber with a severe tone.

"I understand!" Amber nodded.

She knew that the nearest temple was probably the safest one.

Jean considered her strength before assigning a task.

"Then the remaining two..."

"Just me and Kaeya." Lisa said actively, "After all, I just said I would help out."

"I have no opinion either."

Kaeya said with some interest, "The abandoned temples are suddenly so lively. I always felt that something was going on behind the scenes. Let me find out!"

"Then, let's act immediately. The storm is rampant. There is no point in maintaining a defensive position. We need to take the initiative and act before the situation escalates." Jean announced with a superior tone.
