The Conspiracy of the Abyss

However, Amber shook her head again. The Wind Dragon is Mondstadt's concern, after all. No matter what, Takarou is an outsider. If they can't even deal with the Wind Dragon,If in the future, Mondstadt faces even greater difficulties, they can't rely on an outsider, right?

So, Amber also wants to improve her strength. She plans to visit the New Century Comic Store whenever she has free time to read manga.

By the way, she also needs to report this matter to Captain Jean to prevent anyone from offending Takarou in the future.

There's a saying that goes, "It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy."

"Amber?" Takarou called out as he noticed Amber staring at Mewtwo.

"Ah... Owner, sorry. I was thinking about something just now."

"Let's continue our journey."

"Alright."

They continued to venture deeper into the woods.

Soon, they came across an Abyss Mage. In front of the Abyss Mage were a group of Hilichurlss and two Hilichurls brutes.

"The Wind Dragon attacked Mondstadt suddenly, and this is our chance."

"So, when the Wind Dragon appears again, you all should attack Mondstadt together and fulfill His Highness's mission!"

The Abyss Mage waved his staff while speaking to his subordinates.

Yoyo...

"Hmm? Who's there?!"

The Abyss Mage suddenly looked towards a large tree.

Since they had been discovered, Takarou had no reason to hide. He walked out with Amber.

"So, it's you who's commanding these Hilichurlss to attack Mondstadt!"

Amber became very angry at the sight of the Abyss Mage.

It was because of this Abyss Mage that Mondstadt had been on high alert recently.

After all, it was their duty, and there were many ordinary people in Mondstadt.

If these Hilichurlss were allowed to attack Mondstadt successfully, the ordinary people of Mondstadt would suffer!

"Now that you've heard our plan, you'll have to stay here today!"

"Attack!"

"Howl!"

The Hilichurls brutes, wielding giant axes, roared at Takarou and Amber. Then, they attacked together with their underlings!

"Hmph, don't think I'm afraid of you!"

"Hawkmon, come with me!"

"Meotwo!"

"We'll help too."

One minute later, the ground was littered with the bodies of Hilichurls brutes and Hilichurlss.

Seeing how formidable the two of them were, the Abyss Mage felt uneasy and decided to retreat.

"You plan to leave because you can't handle us?"

Takarou reached out and grabbed the Abyss Mage's neck.

"You... Your strength! You're not from this world!"

The Abyss Mage felt Takarou's power and a look of fear appeared on its face.

If it had known that this human was so powerful, it would have left immediately.

To Takarou, who had played games in his previous life, the Abyss Mage was quite disgusting.

After all, in the game's mechanics, fire is immune to fire, and similar elemental powers are also immune.

When he played the game, he had a hard time dealing with an Abyss Mage that used water and ice. Now, encountering the Abyss Mage in this world reminded him of those frustrating moments.

Since this Abyss Mage had a fire attribute, he would let it taste some water.

Not far from the Whispering Woods, there was a water pit.

Takarou took the fire Abyss Mage and directly submerged its body in the water.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

As soon as it entered the water, the fire Abyss Mage cried out in pain.

"Owner..."

Amber saw this scene and heard the Abyss Mage's painful screams, feeling a bit sympathetic.

"Amber, when dealing with enemies, you can't show any mercy."

"If you show mercy, you're giving the enemy an opportunity."

"Owner, I understand."

Amber fell silent for a moment, then nodded.

Since Owner told her these things, it must be for her own good.

"Please, please stop torturing me."

After a while, the Abyss Mage was already weakened, and it begged.

"Tell us, why did you attack Mondstadt this time?"

Takarou naturally knew why the Abyss Mage attacked Mondstadt.

But Amber didn't know.

He asked these questions to help Amber understand.

The Abyss Mage seemed hesitant.

"If you don't speak, I'll continue to submerge you in water."

"Don't, don't, I'll talk, I'll talk..."

The Abyss Mage shuddered all over. It didn't want to experience that painful feeling again.

"We attacked Mondstadt because of His Highness's mission."

"The Wind Dragon was also brought to Mondstadt by us!"

"I see, so the Wind Dragon is also your doing!"

Upon hearing this, Amber suddenly understood.

She didn't expect that the Abyss Mage was responsible for the Wind Dragon!

"Who is your 'His Highness'? Is it related to the Abyss?"

Amber asked.

"He is His Highness, and we do whatever His Highness commands. We exist for His Highness!"

After hearing the Abyss Mage's words, Takarou knew that he wouldn't get any more information.

He waved his hand, and the Abyss Mage disappeared into thin air.

"Owner..."

"Do you want to take this Abyss Mage back with you?"

"That's what I was thinking. After all, Captain Jean and the others don't know about this yet."

"We can't get any more information from it anyway."

"Even if we ask, it won't know anything else."

"However, you have obtained some information from it. The situation here has been resolved, so now you can go back and report this to Jean."

"Okay, Owner. On behalf of the Knights of Favonius, thank you for your help!"

After saying that, Amber performed a knight's salute to Takarou.

"Let's go back together."

Back in Mondstadt, Takarou returned to his shop with Mewtwo.

After returning, instead of resting, Amber went straight to the Knights of Favonius headquarters.

"Captain Jean!"

"Amber? It's late. What brings you here? Do you have something to report?"

"There are indeed some things, but Captain Jean, why are you still handling official matters so late?"

"There are still some official matters left. If I leave them for tomorrow, they will accumulate, so I plan to finish them today."

"Amber, what happened?"

Captain Jean, as the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius, naturally knew about the Wind Dragon.

That was the Dragon of the East, Dvalin, the protector of the East.

But who would have thought that Dvalin would be controlled by the Abyss Order?

"Captain Jean, the reason the Wind Dragon appeared was actually the doing of the Abyss Order!"

After listening to Amber's account, Captain Jean furrowed her brows.

As the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius, she naturally knew who the Wind Dragon was.

But who could have expected that the Abyss Order was behind it?

"Captain Jean, we don't know when the Wind Dragon will appear again, so we must be vigilant in Mondstadt. We also need to guard against the Abyss Order attacking Mondstadt."

____________________

"Hmm, I understand now."

"I didn't expect Owner's strength to be so powerful."

"I should thank him tomorrow."

In Mondstadt, having such a powerful presence,

Captain Jean naturally wanted to establish a good relationship with him.

"Well then, Captain Jean, I'll take my leave."

"Sure, Amber. You've been busy all night, so get some rest."

"Captain Jean, you too."

Early the next morning, as soon as the New Century Comic Store opened, Captain Jean personally came by.

"Owner, on behalf of the Knights of Favonius, I want to thank you for your help last night."

"No problem, I was just out for a walk last night and happened to run into Amber."

Takarou waved his hand dismissively, not minding at all.

"And this is the Pokémon named Mewtwo that Amber mentioned last night?"

Captain Jean looked at the Mewtwo lying on the couch and thought to herself.

From this Mewtwo, she sensed a strong power.

"Captain Jean, do you want to read some manga today? I just got new manga in my shop."

"New manga?"

After learning about the Abyss Mage's conspiracy last night, Captain Jean naturally wanted to improve her own strength so that she could face future dangers.

After a moment of contemplation, Captain Jean looked at Takarou and asked, "Owner, what's the new manga you mentioned?"

"It's Detective Conan. If you're interested, it's over there."

"Alright."

Captain Jean placed ten thousand mora on the counter and then went to the shelf where Detective Conan was displayed.

After reading for a while, Captain Jean showed a surprised expression.

In this manga, there was actually a medicine that could turn people into children?

That was quite incredible!

If someone who was about to die obtained this medicine and turned into a child, would their lifespan be extended?

After reading for a while, Captain Jean also learned from the world of this manga that it was a world of solving mysteries.

And Conan was the child who, with his help, could solve cases that others couldn't.

Moreover, she learned from the manga that that world was completely different from their own world.

Because the houses in that world were very tall, several times taller than any building in Mondstadt.

And people could sit in an iron box and be taken to the scene of a crime.

All of this fascinated Captain Jean.

After a long time, Captain Jean finally finished reading the manga.

She put the book back in its place and walked over to Takarou.

"Owner, is it true that there's a medicine in this world that can turn people into children?"

"In this world, no. But in Conan's world, it does exist."

"And if you're lucky, you might obtain it."

"I see. And what about the iron box that people sit in to go to crime scenes? What is that?"

"Captain Jean, you should know about Venti, right?"

"Yes, I know, but we in Mondstadt haven't had much contact with Venti."

"You can think of it like this: in Conan's world, technological development is even more advanced than in Teyvat."

"If we were to make a comparison, the technology in the Kingdom of Khaenri'ah should be similar to that in Conan's world."

"That impressive?"

As the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius, Captain Jean naturally knew how Khaenri'ah was destroyed.

She didn't expect that the technology in the world of Detective Conan, as described in the manga, was comparable to Khaenri'ah.

[Customer: Captain Jean has finished reading Detective Conan and received a reward: twenty mobile phones.]

[Note: Since this is the Teyvat continent, the method of charging mobile phones has been changed.]

[You only need the Vision Energy to charge your phone.]

[For now, the phone can only be used for making and receiving calls!]

"Mobile phones?"

Takarou couldn't help but smile when he heard about this reward.

In an instant, a bright light flashed, and twenty mobile phones appeared on the front desk.

Captain Jean looked very puzzled at the sudden addition of twenty identical items.

"Owner, what is this?"

"These are mobile phones."

"They can be used to make calls."

"Mobile phones?"

"Let me show you."

Takarou picked up one of the mobile phones and demonstrated it to Captain Jean.

Then he handed the phone to her and took another one for himself.

"I'm going out for a bit, but you can use it according to what I told you later."

"Alright, Owner."

Takarou picked up one of the mobile phones and went to the entrance of Mondstadt.

Then he called Captain Jean.

Captain Jean, who was in the store, was startled when she heard the sound coming from the phone. She was about to throw it away, but she remembered what Takarou had said.

Following Takarou's instructions, she answered the call.

"Captain Jean, can you hear me?"

Hearing Takarou's voice coming from the phone, Captain Jean curiously looked around but couldn't find Takarou's voice.

She quickly replied, "Yes, Owner, I can hear you."

"Well, that's how you use a mobile phone."

Soon, Takarou returned to the shop.

"How was it, Captain Jean? You should know how to use it now, right?"

Captain Jean was already a clever person.

After learning how to use the mobile phone, she had a clue.

If she gave the phone to Amber, then if Amber encountered any emergencies outside, she could inform Captain Jean in a timely manner, and Captain Jean could resolve the situation quickly!

Also, she could give one to Eula, who was usually outside on missions.

That way, Eula wouldn't have to return to Mondstadt every time to report to her.

"Owner, this mobile phone is really something!"

"Yes, but the mobile phone you received can only make calls and can't access the internet."

"And one more thing, this phone can take photos and videos."

Takarou demonstrated it again to Captain Jean.

The more he demonstrated, the more Captain Jean felt that this mobile phone was truly amazing!

"Owner, can ordinary people use this mobile phone?"

"No, ordinary people can't because the mobile phone requires power."

"And if there's no way to charge it, the phone is completely unusable."

"The mobile phones you have, however, have been modified, and only those who possess the Vision like you can use them."

"Speaking of which, it's a pity that ordinary people can't use them."

"But don't be disappointed. Who knows, maybe in the future, there will be mobile phones that ordinary people can use."

"That's true. After all, you've been running this shop here, and we often come here, so maybe we'll get one."

Captain Jean took a deep breath. Takarou's words made sense.

Thinking of this, she picked up a mobile phone and handed it to Takarou.

Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
