Liyue’s Wangshu Inn.
Zhongli, who had been solemn, finally let out a long sigh.
“He just walked out like that.”
Xianyun, Xiao, and the other celestial beings looked at Zhongli with baffled expressions.
From his sigh, they seemed to hear a sense of relief.
Was it an illusion?
Or had the Geo Archon, Rex Lapis, already come up with a way to deal with Su Xuan?
“Lord Rex Lapis, have you devised a countermeasure?”
Xianyun asked eagerly.
Indeed, when it came to crucial moments, they still had to rely on the strongest archon in the current era, Rex Lapis, Morax.
Zhongli picked up the teacup in front of him and blew gently on it.
There was no discernible emotional fluctuation. After taking a sip of tea, he said, “There is no countermeasure.”
“The Fifth Descender, Su Xuan, is unlike anyone else. I don’t know how he has knowledge that surpasses even my understanding of history, but even in this situation, he dares to come here personally.”
“It shows that he is not afraid of Barbatos, who is secretly observing, and even more so, not afraid of a joint effort between Barbatos and the Witch of the North, Alice.”
“The mere fact that he has personally made an appearance indicates that this war against Mondstadt is about to end.”
“It is just unclear what the consequences will be for Mondstadt City.”
Xianyun was stunned.
The other celestial beings also remained silent.
They had thought that their Lord Rex Lapis had some brilliant strategy, but instead, he told them that they were helpless in the face of this situation.
Could they only wait quietly for the outcome?
This kind of behavior, which bolstered the enemy’s confidence while weakening their own, wouldn't Rex Lapis be worn down and become foolish?
“But Beelzebub obviously used dark clouds to conceal his actions and ambush Ttarin.”
“Doesn’t this mean that Su Xuan is still somewhat wary of the Anemo Archon, Barbatos?”
Xianyun, who was good at thinking, raised her doubts.
She couldn’t understand why Su Xuan would order Beelzebub to hide his huge form behind dark clouds.
If he truly wanted to bring despair to Mondstadt, Beelzebub’s arrival would have had a very good effect.
Looking at its size, it was much larger than Ttarin.
Xianyun dared not even imagine the scene of Beelzebub slowly emerging from the dark clouds, revealing its head and enormous body.
It would be equivalent to an archon appearing from above the city.
It would certainly make the ordinary people crumble mentally. After all, how many people in the current era had truly witnessed the terror of an archon?
“Xianyun, you’re too hasty.” Zhongli said, “What will decide the fate of Mondstadt City has only just begun.”
“The Mondstadt City in the projection only has a fifth of its population.”
“Outside of Mondstadt City, there is the expeditionary force that is rushing back. Moreover, we are observing the future from the perspective of an observer.”
“The people of Mondstadt in the projection don’t know about Beelzebub’s existence.”
Zhongli felt a bit thirsty, not sure if it was from talking too much or from tension in his heart.
In his heart, he thought that the most terrifying thing about Su Xuan was that no one could truly understand how much terrifying power he was actually hiding.
But everyone else was like naked people, completely exposed before him.
The information gap between them was too huge.
“When Mondstadt City’s people, united in spirit, repel the mutated hilichurl army and are about to enjoy their victory, disaster will arrive as promised.”
“But it doesn’t matter. Mondstadt’s strongest force is not within Mondstadt City. The powerful Grand Master, Varka, holds four-fifths of the fighting force and is on his way back.”
“Even if Su Xuan takes over Mondstadt City, they still have hope in the expeditionary force.”
“Until the expeditionary force returns, the sky will split open, and the enormous Beelzebub will deliver them a fatal blow.”
“He has already calculated everyone in Mondstadt City and will gradually crush all their hopes.”
What a terrifying fellow.
After listening to Zhongli’s analysis, all the celestial beings were dumbfounded, unable to speak a word.
“The true nature of the Fifth Descender is so terrifying?” Xianyun was horrified and couldn’t help but swallow. “Is his heart black?”
【“Is it him, the mastermind behind this, Su Xuan?”】
【Alice was on high alert.】
【Jean and Amber might not sense the other’s strangeness.】
【But Alice, whose strength far surpassed theirs, could sense the other’s awesomeness.】
【However, what surprised them most was the woman beside Su Xuan.】
【Except for her clothes and hair being different from before, but with her appearance unchanged, Amber blurted out, “Are you Eula?”】
【“What’s going on? It’s only been a few days, how come your hair got so long?”】
【Amber managed to squeeze out a smile.】
【She could tell at a glance, but she couldn’t help but ask about the other’s situation.】
【“And how come you’re standing with him?”】
【Eula?】
【Paimon and Lumine finally realized that the woman beside Su Xuan was actually Amber’s friend, whom she had been looking for all along.】
【“Whoa!” Paimon exclaimed, “She came with Su Xuan, you guys said that Su Xuan is the mastermind behind this attack on Mondstadt, right?”】
【“Why is he with your Mondstadt knight?”】
【“It must be a mistake. I told you, Su Xuan is a good person.”】
【Paimon, remembering Su Xuan’s roast suckling pig, was drooling and hurriedly waved her little hand towards Su Xuan, greeting him, “Su Xuan! Do you remember us?”】
【“Me, Paimon, and the one beside me, Lumine.”】
【“We’ve met before.”】
【Paimon was about to fly towards Su Xuan, but Alice, quick as a flash, grabbed her back.】
【She didn’t have time to explain the issue to Paimon, she stared straight at Eula.】
【For women, loving beauty is their nature.】
【Especially for races like Alice, the special fairies (elves) of Teyvat.】
【Don’t look at her pointy ears, which are not like normal humans, but the fairy race produces handsome men and beautiful women, and they surpass humans in both temperament and appearance.】
【For example, Alice in Mondstadt and Chaska in Natlan.】
【However, Eula’s current aura gave Alice a feeling of being completely outclassed.】
【It wasn’t that Alice was arrogant, but Eula’s subtle changes were too great, her change in temperament was a realm that humans could not reach.】
【The most crucial point was that Eula now gave Alice a very dangerous feeling.】
【It was the kind of fear that a weaker person involuntarily feels towards a stronger one.】
【“Was Eula forcibly modified by Su Xuan?” The thought flashed through Alice’s mind.】
【She suppressed the fear rising in her heart and smiled with narrowed eyes, “Before you visit our Mondstadt, you should introduce yourselves. ”】
【“Especially the lady who looks a lot like the Spindrift Knight of our Mondstadt’s Favonius Knight Order, Eula Laurence.”】
【“Su Xuan, would you be too stingy to introduce the lady by your side?”】
【Upon hearing Alice’s words, Su Xuan immediately understood her meaning.】
【She must have mistakenly thought that Eula was just a mindless puppet like the mutated hilichurls.】
【Guessing Alice’s thoughts.】
【Su Xuan shrugged nonchalantly, “You’re right, it is indeed proper etiquette to introduce oneself before visiting Mondstadt. “】
【“However, this lady by my side is not a puppet, she has her own will and thoughts.”】
【“As for the introduction, I think it’s better for her to introduce herself.”】
【As soon as Su Xuan finished speaking, Eula behind him, like a dutiful maid wanting to please her master.】
【Without any hesitation, she immediately introduced herself:】
【“Alice, Jean, Amber...”】
【“I am Eula Laurence, a Valkyria under Lord Su Xuan.”】
