Dragon of the East Temple!

Chapter 12

"Then let's go!"

Amber, Kaeya, and Lisa left the knight headquarters swiftly and neatly.

Naturally, the one who stayed behind in the city was the acting grandmaster of the knights, Jean.

To suppress the Fatui's minions, one must have the strength and high status.

Jean asked, "Jason should be no stranger to Temples of the Four Winds, right?"

"Well, I know a little about them." Jason nodded.

Although Jason didn't pay much attention to their specific location before, when he was fighting against Stormterror in the sky, he saw three glowing places, quickly noting them.

"The safety of Amber and the others is up to you, Jason!" Jean asked him solemnly.

"Rest assured! I'll do my best to protect them." Jason waved his hands and declared earnestly.

Lumine glanced back at Miss Acting Grandmaster, sitting on her seat in deep thought, followed Jason out, walking side-by-side with him.

"Jason, what are Temples of the Four Winds?" Lumine slightly raised her head and asked curiously.

Her voice was soft and sweet, quite pleasant listening to.

"That's right, what nonsense are they talking about? Paimon doesn't understand!" Paimon quickly flew and grabbed his head.

"Literally." Jason hugged Paimon and answered: "They are the temples guarded by the four winds, Wolf of the North, Falcon of the West, Lion of the South, and Dragon of the East."

"The Four Winds are four entities that the Anemo Archon, Barbatos, entrusted the safety and protection of Mondstadt to before he disappeared a thousand years ago..."

"The four entities that guard Mondstadt?"

Paimon escaped his embrace and asked suspiciously, "Since that's the case, why did Stormterror use their power to bring harm to Mondstadt?"

"Remember when Jean and Lisa were talking about the Temple of the Four Winds, what was the prefix?" Jason asked them to remember.

"Prefix? Hmmm..." Paimon was in distress, obviously not good at using her brain.

"Abandoned?" Lumine remembered it quickly.

"Right!"

Jason nodded and explained, "Since it's abandoned and left unattended, isn't it normal to be used by others?"

"I get it!"

Lumine expressed her understanding and asked, "Are we going there now?"

"Aren't you tired?" Jason asked with some concern. He didn't want to force her to follow him.

"I'm fine." Lumine smiled and replied. She felt better after listening to his concern.

"Don't you want to change your clothes?" Jason looked at her dress, which had been ripped in a few places to bandage him.

After Lumine heard this, her ears started to redden due to embarrassment.

So she pulled her hair to cover the exposed part of her ears.

Then she replied, "We're going on an adventure soon. After it is over, I will change my clothes."

It's all too common to bump into each other in the wild. It was a trivial matter when there was only her and Paimon.

There is an additional Jason now, which makes her feel shy.

"Let's go then."

Jason first went back to Good Hunter to get a spare wind glider. Then, he jumped down the window and went to the city gate with Lumine and Paimon.

The city of Mondstadt was still shrouded in dark clouds and storms. Leaves and rubbish were flying everywhere.

Timmie, who usually feeds the pigeons on the bridge in front of the city entrance, was nowhere to be seen.

But not far away from the city, the weather became bright again.

Looking back, one can see that Mondstadt was still shrouded in a frantic wind element.

It's like two worlds apart from each other.

After walking for quite some time, Jason saw Amber waiting for them in front of the ruin's entrance from a distance.

On the gate of the ruins, a fiery red elemental imprint was engraved on it.

Amber jumped up to greet them, "Boss Jason, Lumine, come here!"

"I have done a preliminary investigation on the temple!" She shouted.

"What's the result?" Jason asked.

"This is the temple of Falcon of the West. There should only be some hilichurls and slimes inside." Amber reported her investigation.

"Are there hilichurls and slimes?" Lumine was a little puzzled. She thought that such a ruin should not have any monsters.

"After all, it's an abandoned temple. It's normal to have some." Paimon said as a matter of fact. Who knows what's inside a ruin?

"It should be fine." Lumine said after thinking for a while.

She had fought against slimes in the wild, and before entering the city, she had also cleared up a hilichurl camp with Amber. Therefore, she can easily fight and defeat them.

"Can you feel it? There is something wrong with the wind here. The dragon's power is affecting this place." Amber urged them, "Quickly, let's go inside!"

"Um..." Jason nodded, reaching out and pressing on the door.

The wind element started surging. Initially flashing with a fiery red mark, active wind elements poured out the door, making it glow green.

Then the door automatically opened in front of them, revealing an intricate passage inside, and another door blocked their way.

In a corner, a console was located diagonally opposite the door.

Jason skillfully poured elemental power inside the console, and the trap door opened with a heavy rumbling noise.

All of them entered inside.

"Look! that's the deepest part of the temple!"

On the platform, Amber pointed to somewhere high and said.

"Wow, it's so high? How do we get there?" Paimon was a little worried.

"First, let's get closer. Since it's an abandoned temple, there must be a way up."

Amber took out her bow and arrows, condensed fire elements on the arrow, and shot it towards the dry thorns blocking their way.

The fire ignited the dry thorny bushes, burning them into ashes in a blink of an eye.

"Let's go!"

Amber said and took the lead.

There were many dry thorny bushes along the way. After Amber ignited them, more vigorous fire elements filled the air that she could reuse.

"Let's go down."

After turning a corner, she whispered and gestured for them below.

Below the platform, three hilichurls lingered around, holding a stick in one hand and a wooden shield in the other. They were walking around without noticing their presence.

Jason glanced at three hilichurls, and their information automatically flashed in his mind.

Lv9, Lv9, Lv10.

On his side, Lumine was Lv2, Amber Lv3, and himself Lv9.

A higher level doesn't mean one can not fight, but it requires good skills and cooperation.

For example, Amber has silently pulled out her Baron Bunny.
