Chapter 363 Klee: The Murlocs’ Plan? Show it to Captain Jean!
Northeast of Mondstadt, Whispering Woods.
The storm subsided, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sunlight shone through the dark green canopy above the forest, casting patches of mottled golden fragments on the ground.
Amid the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves, many creatures that had been hiding because of the strange phenomenon gradually emerged from caves and bushes and returned to their normal lives.
“Wow–“
Near the path, a large forest pig was about to stretch its snout toward the small lamp grass in front of it that was emitting a faint blue light.
Suddenly, the sound of bushes being rustled came from behind, making it turn its head alertly.
???
It was a little strange to find that behind it were not lizards or squirrels or other small snacks, but two humans, one big and one small, that it had never seen before. The forest pig just raised its front hoof:
“——Ah, it’s the Great Boar Demon King! No, don’t touch Klee’s treasure!”
!!!
Before it could figure out whether to attack or flee,
A sound that even scared away a large group of sparrows made the forest pig give up its attack. After kicking its hind legs a few times nimbly, it disappeared into the deep forest.
“.”
“Ah! Fortunately! The sign that Klee used to mark the treasure is still there. It seems that it was not stolen by the Wild Boar Demon King!”
Seeing that the forest pig had completely disappeared, the little blonde girl in red hurriedly took the astrologer beside her and went forward to check.
After a while,
While Mona was looking at him with a puzzled look on her face, Klee moved the extremely conspicuous wooden sign away on the spot and dug out a round spherical object underneath.
“.”
“.So, the ‘treasure’ that the two of us took such a big risk to find was this bomb with a sign on it buried in the forest?”
Along the way, not only did I encounter dangerous weather, but even my pantyhose were cut a few times.
Mona looked at Kelly’s way of hiding things, which made her speechless, and suddenly felt that she should think about it again before going out.
“Yes, the bouncing bomb is a very powerful treasure. It will definitely help Sister Mona defeat the enemy you mentioned!”
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with sticking a wooden sign on something when I hide it.
Klee looked at this “power-enhanced version of Boom Boom” that she had treasured, and confidently made a promise to Mona beside her.
“Well, although we are the heirs of different schools, we are just competitors at most. I don’t think it would go to the extent of using bombs.”
I found that Klee beside me seemed to treat the heir that the old woman asked me to find as a fish in the fruit wine lake, and didn’t even think that the other party was subject to the “bomb injury” regulations.
Mona, who didn’t want to cause any loss of life, could only politely decline the little guy’s help.
“.Huh?! So he’s not some bad guy like the Demon King? What if Klee hurt someone with her bomb?”
“——Ah, Captain Qin, don’t do that!”
Imagining the possible outcome, Klee’s body stiffened and she gave up the idea.
“.Huh, forget it, there’s no point in dragging it out any longer. I should definitely use divination to find out where that guy is.”
“.Before I went out, I had a feeling that I could find you quickly if I stayed near you, Klee, so I followed you into the forest.
But now it seems that maybe my intuition was wrong.”
Because of her experiences in Liyue, Mona is now much more cautious in using divination than before.
But it was no use wandering around like a headless fly, so she finally decided to divine who the heir was.
I wanted to know why I always felt that the other person was near me, but after careful observation, I still couldn’t find anyone who looked like an astrologer.
“Om-“
The dark blue water mirror reflecting the starry sky slowly unfolded in front of Mona.
Because of this unique appearance and light effect, Klee next to him also cast a curious look:
“.Is this divination? Sister Mona is so amazing!”
“It’s a pity that mom only taught Klee how to make bombs and didn’t tell her anything else.”
“——I’ve actually been wanting to ask you for a long time, who is your mother, Keli?”
“——Why on earth would there be a parent who would teach such a young child to make a bomb?!”
While fortune-telling, she heard Klee mention her mother again. Mona, who had endured it many times, finally couldn’t bear it anymore.
I just couldn’t figure out why such a powerful explosive was suitable as a toy for children.
She felt that even the old woman’s stingy way of educating her was probably more reliable than this.
“——Hehe, Klee’s mother is a famous traveler throughout the continent!
The Teyvat Travel Guide written by my mother contains many interesting things!”
When she mentioned her mother, Klee’s ruby-like eyes lit up like glowing fire.
When she mentioned the works left by her mother, the “great adventurer”, she proudly introduced them to Mona beside her.
“.”
“.To do such a thing, even a traveler would be…”
? !!
“——Wait, Keri, who did you say your mother is?!”
“A Guide to Traveling in Teyvat? Isn’t this a book written by Ms. Alice?”
“Then I’ll go out with you to find the person you want to meet.”
!!!
I immediately realized what was wrong.
Recalling the events from Liyue to Mondstadt,
I don’t want to admit what a stupid thing I did.
Mona also tried to save her dignity by asking in disbelief.
“——Klee’s mother is Alice! She’s a traveler, a great adventurer, and a very powerful witch!”
Klee continued to answer with a proud look on her face.
“.”
Mona: “.”
Klee, who promised to help me find an heir, is the daughter of Ms. Alice, so Klee herself is the heir that the old woman asked me to find.
So the reason why I felt that the other person was always near me but couldn’t find him since Liyue was because he was always right in front of me.
What about what I said about defeating Lady Alice’s heir?
“boom–“
The spinning water mirror shattered instantly.
Mona’s face instantly turned red as her brain was overloaded.
Because there were too many thoughts crowded together, even a small spinning circle seemed to appear in my eyes.
“Ah! Sister Mona, what’s wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? Did that bad guy disturb your divination?” The innocent and simple Klee still didn’t realize what had happened, nor did she realize that she was the root cause of all this.
“.”
“.No, it’s okay, I just suddenly thought that it’s no big deal if that guy doesn’t look for me.
Finally, I think it’s better for you to forget about this matter, Kelly.”
He sighed deeply and decided to put this matter on his list of “secrets that cannot be told until death”.
Looking at the little guy who still knows nothing,
While Mona wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it, she was also glad that at least she had never said that the heir was Ms. Alice’s daughter.
After a while, Mona finally calmed down and prepared to return:
“.Speaking of which, Keri, did your mother leave you a box to give to someone else? Have you seen what’s in the box?”
Walking in the middle of the path under the shade of trees,
Mona planned to find out the final result indirectly and then keep this matter buried in her heart forever:
“A box? Yes! It’s in the Knights’ confinement room!”
“Keli is planning to use that box to bury treasures next time we go to the area near Fengqidi!”
Still unaware of the full picture of the incident, and only feeling that she was out for a good time, Klee answered honestly.
“That’s good. Can you take me with you to have a look later?”
“Hehe, welcome Sister Mona to come and play. Captain Qin will definitely welcome you~”
“.”
Finally, the matter was completely handled without anyone noticing, and Mona breathed a sigh of relief.
Learned a lesson! I decided that I would never give up because of a mistake, and I would never be lazy when it comes to divination that does not involve the gods.
“Wow–“
Just as I made up my mind, I heard the sound of paper being blown by the wind.
Through the gaps between the trees, a piece of white paper spun a few times under the gaze of the two and landed right in front of Klee.
Mona: “.”
How could there be paper in a forest like this? Did anyone accidentally drop a document?
“Hmm? What’s on the paper? Why can’t Klee understand it?”
Curiously, he picked up the document that had fallen in front of him.
Because she couldn’t recognize a single word and her cultural level still had a lot of room for improvement, Klee tilted her head in confusion.
“.Don’t you understand?”
“Well, let me have a look.
If there are too many words you don’t recognize, I’ll help you learn the common language of Teyvat when I have time later.”
???
“Eh? Where did this secret code come from? Why is there a seal of the Fatui?”
I immediately discovered the real reason why Klee couldn’t understand a single word.
Mona was surprised and couldn’t understand why such a confidential document was blown into their faces by the wind.
“Mickeys? Are they the bad guys that Brother Kaia mentioned?”
“Brother Kaeya told me that if you go to the fishmen and act naughty, you will be captured by the devil king Dudu at night.”
Recalling what brother Kaia and sister Amber said about that group of strange guys, Klee spoke with some concern.
“.The things that can use ciphertext are usually confidential action plans, right? Theoretically, it is unlikely that we would pick them up.”
“And if we want to decipher the secret code without knowing it, then divination may be the most convenient way.”
I am sure that there are only a few people in Mondstadt who are capable of deciphering this thing, and I am one of them.
No matter how Mona thought about it, she felt that this matter was full of “coincidences”.
“Let me see the “Star Extinguishing” plan. Top secret.”
Because of my curiosity, I am planning to decipher it a little bit.
At the beginning, she saw two remarkable words. Just as she was hesitating whether to continue deciphering, Mona suddenly heard Klee’s exclamation:
“——Ah! That’s right! I remember that Kaia-nii said that if you pick up any strange things related to the “Murthy People”, you can give them to him, and he will give you a lot of Mora as a reward!”
“——Sister Mona, let’s give this paper to Captain Qin after we go back and ask her to pass it on to Brother Kaia!”
“—A lot of Mora?!”
Mona, whose clothes had just been torn by tree branches, suddenly heard a word that interested her. She thought this was a good opportunity to replenish her little treasury.
“——Let’s go, for the sake of Mor… Ahem, I mean the Fatui’s secret plan must not be a good thing.
For Mond’s safety, it is better to hand it over!”
Because he and the old woman have a wide range of information channels, he has no good feelings towards the Fatui organization.
Considering the strange feeling she had felt from the starry sky recently when she was fortune-telling, Mona suspected from the bottom of her heart that the Fatui had secretly caused some sabotage again.
On the other side, on a slope near the Whispering Forest,
Lin Feng glanced at the Fatui who were secretly operating in the cave below, and then turned his attention back to Wendy:
“.Although it is not impossible for the file to be blown away by the wind, isn’t it a bit too coincidental that you did this?”
Recalling Wendy’s flawed operation just now, Lin Feng felt that a certain astrologer who had picked up a “top secret” document should now be feeling lucky.
“——Hehe, it’s the fault of these fools who were careless, and didn’t I leave a copy for them with an illusion at the original place?
Don’t worry, it won’t delay their subsequent execution of the plan~”
With a nonchalant look on his face, he was plotting loudly above the Fatui camp.
Wendy was clearly not at all worried that they would be able to notice anything was wrong.
“.However, I didn’t expect that Zhidong’s technology has reached this level.
Although Dottore is an arrogant lunatic with no bottom line,
But based on talent alone, he is indeed worthy of being recruited by Zhidong.”
Recalling the plans in the instruments and documents he had just seen, Lin Feng did not expect that they had such in-depth research on the “False Sky”.
“If he succeeds in pulling the fate star to the ground, disrupting divination and exploration while creating widespread chaos, then Mond may not have the energy to stop him.”
Knowing the consequences of the falling star, even Wendy had to praise the feasibility of Dottore’s plan:
——The power contained in the Fate Star will greatly interfere with the God’s ability to detect.
And depending on the scope of the fall, it could even cause most of Mondstadt and even parts of Liyue to fall into chaos.
Combined with the fools who deliberately set up confusing formations, all of this undoubtedly provided the perfect cover and opportunity for his successful actions.
Being able to achieve this with the help of instruments and research, his understanding of the secrets of the sky and the world is probably much more thorough than that of some gods.
“.However, how could he have imagined that you, the God of Wind, were far from being as weak as recorded.
And he is omnipresent in obtaining intelligence?”
I looked from afar at the treasure-hunting duo who were about to enter the city to hand over the “top secret” documents to Kaia.
When I think about the possibility of several different “coincidences” happening next,
Lin Feng expressed his heartfelt sympathy for the guy who was still hiding underground.
