"Wow ~"
"The scenery here is so beautiful!"
Starsnatch Cliff is not far from Mondstadt City.
With everyone traveling at full speed, they quickly reached their destination.
Feeling the unique gentle breeze that came from the fusion of mountain and sea winds.
Paimon floated above Starsnatch Cliff.
Looking out at the vast ocean in the distance, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Lumine, who was following behind, had pretty much the same reaction.
Within the Mondstadt region, the scenery of Starsnatch Cliff is top-tier.
Gazing at the endless ocean.
Breathing in the fresh sea breeze, for a moment.
Even the most somber heart would feel incredibly refreshed.
For a young girl like Lumine, who was bearing pressure she shouldn't at her age, she felt her heart lighten considerably.
"But… we arrived at Starsnatch Cliff so quickly."
"Don't you feel like the speed was a bit too fast?"
Jean looked at the familiar surroundings with a slight hint of confusion.
"Eh, does Jean come to Starsnatch Cliff often?"
Suddenly hearing Jean's question, Paimon subconsciously turned around to look.
She scratched her head, a little puzzled.
"Ahem…"
"Because I used to patrol this area often, I probably still remember the route."
Jean's gaze drifted to the ground.
She turned slightly sideways, somewhat afraid to meet Paimon's eyes directly.
"Is that so?"
"But I always feel like there's something else going on…"
Paimon rubbed her head, noticing Jean's reaction.
She sensed something was amiss.
"No, it's just like that."
Jean quietly squeezed her palms.
Taking a deep breath, she answered with a serious expression.
Of course, she was lying.
In fact, as the Acting Grand Master.
Jean didn't need to patrol Starsnatch Cliff.
After all, there weren't many Hilichurl camps in this area.
Under such circumstances, no matter how much she worried about the safety of Mondstadt City.
She wouldn't waste time making a personal trip.
With that time, it would obviously be more appropriate to sweep towards Dadaupa Gorge.
As for knowing the route here, it was purely because when she first met Kai back then.
She often ran this way.
Counting the days… although it had been half a year since she last came.
But she clearly still had a strong impression of the route from Mondstadt to Starsnatch Cliff.
"Perhaps it's because after the Holy Lyre der Himmel was replenished ~"
"The Anemo energy released slightly sped up our journey."
Kai stood nearby, seeing Jean's reaction.
He stepped forward and stroked Paimon's head directly.
He showed a somewhat "kind" smile.
"Anyway, don't mind these details, Paimon."
"Do you… understand?"
"Mm…"
"I, I understand."
A terrifying aura suddenly enveloped her tiny body.
Feeling Kai's kind smile, in the face of such irresistible pressure.
Little Paimon's heart jumped.
She nodded frantically.
For a moment, she didn't even dare to breathe.
Terrifying… too terrifying.
Kai is super terrifying!
It was seemingly just an ordinary smile, but for some reason.
She felt as if her soul was trembling.
It was as if, in the face of this oppressive aura, there was no chance to resist at all.
If she didn't agree with what he said.
Perhaps a strange weapon would immediately fall from the sky.
And chop the tiny Paimon into even smaller pieces on the spot, right?
"Hehe… maybe that's it."
Venti beside him showed a slightly awkward smile.
In fact, half of Kai's answer was correct.
The reason they were able to reach Starsnatch Cliff so quickly.
Was indeed because of the Anemo energy boost, which made their journey a little faster.
However, this boost didn't come from the Holy Lyre der Himmel, but from the Bard.
The dignified Anemo Archon Barbatos.
And… he wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but after Kai said that.
Barbatos always felt as if Kai was subtly eyeing him.
Especially his gaze, it even seemed a bit fervent.
What's going on… why is he secretly staring at me?
Does this guy have some strange ideas?
"He wouldn't dare to lay a hand on a god, would he?"
This thought suddenly popped into his mind.
Barbatos took a deep breath, unable to help but comfort himself.
Yes, he definitely wouldn't dare to do it.
Within Mondstadt, no one should be so bold.
As to dare attack the Anemo Archon who created Mondstadt.
Even if Kai's attitude towards me is terrible, he would never dare to do something that goes against the faith of the people of Mondstadt.
Striking the god who created Mondstadt, that would truly be a bit… Wait… speaking of which, is Kai a person of Mondstadt?
He seems to be a Traveler from another land, doesn't he?
Barbatos suddenly froze.
"Venti, does this place meet the requirements?"
Noticing the atmosphere was becoming increasingly strange.
Glancing at Venti's somewhat odd expression.
Diluc, standing beside him, frowned, urging him on with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Ah… the requirements are certainly met.
"The sea breeze and mountain winds here are both abundant and gentle, which is very conducive to a Bard's performance."
Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm his inner turmoil.
Barbatos forced himself to ignore Kai's gaze.
Facing Diluc's inquiry, he barely managed to regain his demeanor as a Bard.
"Although I don't know the outcome, at least there's a turning point."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
"Lord Venti."
Jean said seriously.
If the Stormterror problem could be resolved.
For Mondstadt, its value would be immeasurable.
As the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius.
Expressing gratitude was only natural.
"Hehe~ don't worry."
"Then everyone, please step back a bit, the best Bard in the world."
"Is about to pluck his Holy Lyre der Himmel."
Venti confidently took out the Holy Lyre der Himmel.
Turning around, he slowly walked towards the edge of Starsnatch Cliff.
The gentle caress of the sea breeze and mountain wind brushed against his face, dispelling the restlessness within him.
Barbatos took a deep breath.
Looking at the distant sea, he seemed to recall the stories from a thousand years ago.
His fingers gently caressed the strings.
As memories surfaced, he quietly plucked them.
"Ding~"
A powerful Anemo energy, accompanied by the vibrations of the Holy Lyre der Himmel.
With unimaginable power, it roared out with the sea breeze.
Melodious notes suddenly spread out.
It was like a call from an ancient contract, echoing through the sea breeze with pleasant tones.
Drifting far away.
The next second… "Roar~"
A deafening dragon's roar, accompanied by an incredibly vast momentum.
Directly shook the entire land of Starsnatch Cliff.
Kai narrowed his eyes, instinctively walking in front of Jean.
Under everyone's solemn gaze.
A massive figure, like a shadow covering the sky, appeared directly in this sky filled with music and sea breeze.
Emitting an incredibly heavy roar.
This is… "The Dragon of the EastWind, Dvalin."
