"The moment the Abyssal Tumor shattered, I was blown away by the poison gas, but at that moment I saw many man-made marks on Dvalin's wound, or more accurately, Abyssal runes."

"Abyssal incantations? Wait, you mean the Abyss is transforming Dvalin!"

Wendy's expression immediately turned grim. He had initially thought that Dvarin's discomfort was simply due to the toxins, but he hadn't expected it to be like this.

Su Han nodded and said, "It shouldn't be that simple. When you first came into contact with Dvalin, how many Abyss Tumors did it have?"

Wendy thought for a moment and said, "Two!"

"But there are four today, and I suspect that the two new ones are the recent creations of the Abyss Order."

"These damned bastards, how dare they!"

Wendy initially thought that the new tumors in Dvarin were the result of hearing people's prayers, which forced the toxins to the surface of his body. She thought that all she had to do was remove them one by one and everything would be fine. Who would have thought that this would be the result!

If the Abyss Order intervenes, then even if the cancer is eliminated this time, it will continue to be cultivated.

Su Han sighed slightly and said helplessly, "That's why I wanted to get closer and take a look, but you hesitated."

"This is my problem, I'm sorry."

Wendy was filled with regret. This was truly a missed opportunity. If they could have ascertained the situation regarding Dvalin's mutation, things would have been much easier to resolve, no matter what.

Just as the two were chatting, Hu Tao's voice came from afar.

"Hey, are you two alright? I've brought reinforcements from the Knights of Favonius."

Su Han looked into the distance and saw a large number of knights rushing towards them, and the leaders were none other than the clever and eccentric Master Hu and Little Ke Li.

Seeing this, Wendy said, "I'll go first. See you at Diluc's tavern tonight."

"Didn't you meet with them before?"

"That's just support. I don't want to get into any trouble. Anyway, everything depends on you."

Wendy smiled, and her body vanished in the breeze.

A few minutes later, the main force arrived in front of Su Han. Little Keli jumped off her horse and rushed into his arms, excitedly saying, "Big brother, did you come to see Keli? Keli really missed you."

The group of people behind them looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering when Klee had become so affectionate.

Seeing this scene, the leader of the troupe, Jean, felt a pang of sadness. She had been taking care of Klee for so long, but she had never seen her so affectionate.

"Big brother misses you too. By the way, Hu Tao, how are you?"

In response to Su Han's concern, Hu Tao smiled and said, "You can tell I'm fine just by looking at me now. But what happened just now? I heard that dragon roar several times. Did you fight it?"

Su Han initially intended to downplay the situation, but then he thought that Wendy had already shifted the blame and left, so it didn't seem like a big deal for him to take the blame. Therefore, he said, "It was just destroying a malignant tumor on the back of the East Wind Dragon."

The knights around gasped in shock upon hearing this, completely unprepared for the formidable strength of this stranger.

Upon hearing this, Kaeya exclaimed in amazement, "No wonder you are recognized by the Liyue Sage. You actually have the strength to fight a dragon head-on. Su Han, you have been hiding your abilities very well."

Seeing Kaiya's intriguing expression, Su Han smirked and said, "This is called being low-key, don't you understand? Besides, I solved a problem for you guys, shouldn't I get some kind of reward?"

If it weren't for his intervention, I don't know how things would have ended today. It would be unreasonable not to give him some benefits!

At this moment, Commander Jean walked over and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we won't let the heroes' efforts be in vain. However, this is not the place to talk. Can we return to Mondstadt first and then discuss this?"

The Knights' internal problems haven't been completely resolved, and discussing too many secrets could easily lead to leaks; she didn't want to chat here any longer.

This was the first time Su Han had met Qin. He couldn't help but look her up and down. He had to admit that Mondstadt's genes were really good. Qin was only nineteen years old, but she was mature and full of the charm of a married woman. Especially her alluring curves. He guessed that only Lisa and Yura in the whole of Mondstadt could rival her.

Seeing Su Han's gaze, Qin realized she hadn't introduced herself. She quickly extended her hand and smiled, "My name is Qin, and I'm the acting captain of the Knights of Favonius. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Su Han."

Chapter 73 Arrival in Mondstadt, the City of Pastoral Scenery

"Hello, Qin. But I'd like to know about the recent situation. Could you explain it to me?"

Although he had promised Ningguang that he wouldn't interfere in Mondstadt's politics, he was now forced into the situation and it was impossible for him to extricate himself. At the very least, Venti wouldn't let him off the hook.

Rather than passively giving up, he decided to first understand the situation in Mondstadt. He also wanted to see if the Knights of Favonius had the guts. If they continued to give up as before, then Su Han would give up completely, as long as it didn't interfere with his comic book sales.

Qin rode her horse along the tree-lined path, gazing at the scenery ahead, and slowly recounted everything that had happened recently.

"Since Kaeya's return, we have held several meetings and finally agreed that your method is very suitable for Mondstadt at present. So everyone is determined to change the bad habits of the Knights. Although it was difficult at first, as time went by, we gradually found that your views were correct."

"Freedom is never synonymous with laziness. The Knights are the last line of defense for Mondstadt. If we continue to indulge ourselves, Mondstadt will soon fall into enemy hands, something no one wants to see."

"As for the worship of the East Wind Dragon, it was able to be implemented because some corrupt members of the Knights were punished. Although everyone was still very afraid at first, the effect was very significant. At least the talk of the [Dragon] in the city has completely disappeared."

Qin is still very grateful that she took Su Han's advice back then, otherwise she would never be as relaxed as she is now.

Although today's operation failed, it does not mean that the Knights' efforts have been in vain. The Knights have always adhered to the principle of doing what they say, so the citizens still recognize their credibility.

In the past, Qin would have been somewhat afraid that a riot would break out.

After listening for a while, Su Han said with a look of surprise, "You guys are making pretty fast progress. I thought the Knights would hesitate for a long time. It seems I underestimated you."

“In times of chaos, harsh measures are necessary. I remember there’s a saying in your Liyue people’s old saying that goes like that. And given the circumstances at the time, if the Knights hadn’t made a decision, their fate would have been much worse than it is now. Also, there’s something in your letter that left a very deep impression on me, Su Han.”

"what?"

"If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. With those pedantic noble knights around, the young knights can't perform at all and are even suppressed. But after we got rid of those guys, the entire knightly order exudes a refreshing aura."

As Qin spoke, her eyes were full of gratitude. She was so grateful for Su Han's help; otherwise, she would be worried sick right now.

The hall master next to her was completely bewildered; she had never imagined that Su Han would have such a significant influence on Mondstadt. She had initially thought he was just offering a minor suggestion, but it turned out he was helping people reform government affairs.

Only after Qin finished speaking did Hu Tao give Su Han a thumbs up and exclaim in amazement, "Wow, I didn't realize you were so capable! No wonder Tianquan Ningguang wants to find you every day."

"Master, you flatter me. I was merely offering a suggestion. The actual implementation depends on the Knights. So you've praised the wrong person."

Upon hearing Hu Tao's praise, Su Han quickly became modest. After all, given this hall master's lively personality, if he were to be convinced that he was extremely powerful, there would definitely be a lot of trouble in the future. Therefore, it was better to keep a low profile.

As a result, Klee became unhappy after hearing this, and the little one quickly retorted, "No, that's not true! Big Brother is the best. Jean says every day that if it weren't for you, she would be exhausted, and she's been wanting to meet you for a long time!"

And this thing?

Su Han looked at Qin in confusion, only to see that her fair face was extremely red with embarrassment, and she was on the verge of collapse.

"Klee! You don't want to spend three days in solitary confinement, do you?"

"Captain Wuqin, don't scare Klee. Klee is telling the truth. Lisa... no, Sister Lisa also said we shouldn't lie, right?"

When little Cleo asked for help, Lisa covered her mouth and laughed, "Yes, children shouldn't lie."

"Lisa, why are you like this too?"

Qin was surprised that her best friend, who always stood by her side, would tease her. She was almost overwhelmed. Actually, she just wanted to go to Liyue to check on the comics because they hadn't been updated. There was no misunderstanding they were thinking.

Seeing that she couldn't explain it no matter what she did, Qin gritted her teeth and simply stopped trying to explain, forcibly starting the next topic.

"Ahem, let's get back to the serious stuff. I'd like to add something about Dvalin."

"After the Mondstadt internal reforms began to show results, we immediately began preparing for the offerings. We cleaned not only the temple of the East Wind Dragon, but also the other three temples, only to find that they contained many monsters from the Abyss Order."

Speaking of this, Qin looked somewhat ashamed. The Temple of Heroes in Mondstadt had been taken over by monsters; how ridiculous it was to say that.

Lisa added, "We heard the other person's cries of agony again inside the temple afterward, which is why we held today's offering, but unfortunately it failed."

At this point, Jean and Amber's expressions were not good. They thought they could appease the other party, but they didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Upon hearing this, Su Han shook his head and said, "No, this is not your problem. It is the Abyss Order that is behind this. They may have modified Dvalin."

"Hmm? Why do you say that?"

"Is such that."

Su Han recounted what had just happened, including Wendy, which he did not conceal, but he did say that Wendy was a familiar of the Wind God.

Upon hearing the news that Dvalin had been transformed by the Abyss, Jean and Lisa were shocked, but this was followed by sadness.

"How dare they! Our guardian dragon has been cruelly implanted with abyssal toxins!"

"We absolutely cannot let them get away with this. We must find a way to rescue Tvalin!"

"Wait, you mean implantation?"

Upon hearing Lisa's words, Su Han had a sudden inspiration. He had felt something was amiss from the very beginning, and now he finally realized that corrupting Dvalin's abyssal power was definitely not something that a few abyssal mages could do.

Secondly, that enormous abyssal tumor shouldn't be very similar to other tumors.

Although he only glanced at them briefly, Su Han was quite certain that the four abyssal tumor pillars were basically the same type, so there was only one answer!

"Qin, I want to ask you for a favor."

"Please say."

"I want you to send someone to investigate the whereabouts of the dragon Dulin's corpse. I suspect that the Abyss Order used Dulin's corpse to corrupt Dvalin."

"You mean there's something going on at Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain?"

“That’s right! Since Dulin contaminated Tvalin in the first place, he should be able to exacerbate Tvalin’s symptoms by using the same toxin.”

Su Han is now almost certain that there is a huge problem at Dragonspine Snow Mountain, but he has just finished a battle and is currently very tired, so he can only leave this matter to the Knights.

Upon hearing this, Jean immediately sent people to investigate. Considering that the Abyss Cult was involved, she specifically asked Yura and Amber to form a team to go there.

After finishing their tasks, Su Han and his group walked through the woods and their view suddenly opened up, revealing a large number of windmills and marked European-style buildings.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the magnificent West Wind Cathedral!

Chapter 74 Qin: Is there a latest version of that comic?

After bypassing Qingquan Town, we soon arrived at the moat. The journey was very safe, and we occasionally saw merchants, suggesting that the impact of this dragon disaster was minimal.

At this moment, Lisa walked around to Su Han's side and asked, "How does it feel to be back in Mondstadt?"

Su Han looked at the knights at the city gate and smiled, "It's better than before. At least there won't be any disgusting Fools at the city gate."

"Hmm? From what you're saying, it seems you really dislike them. Is there some connection between that and your feelings?"

"You don't know, Miss Lisa, Su Han was attacked by the Fatui when he was in Liyue. If he hadn't been hiding his strength, he probably would have been sold off somewhere by now."

Walnut's words made Lisa smile, but thinking about it, it made sense. If she had been attacked, she certainly wouldn't have a good impression of the Fools either.
