NOVEL NEXT Chapter 63: I don't know anything
Angel's Share.
"Alright, Paimon, we should go out and complete some commissions. We still owe Kaito sixty thousand Mora."
Suddenly standing up from her seat, Lumine prepared to head outside the city to complete some commissions. Since they had eaten their fill, it was time to get to work.
"Just a little more rest, Lumine, we just ate..."
At the thought of having to go out and complete commissions, Paimon, still seated, didn't want to move.
"It's precisely after eating that you have energy! Hurry up and get up!"
Lumine would certainly not agree to Paimon's obvious attempt to slack off.
Whether it was to repay the debt or to avoid the predicament of having no Mora later, they now had to work hard to complete commissions.
"Fine..."
Ugh...
"I wonder if we can have a chat? Traveler from another land."
Just as Paimon reluctantly flew up, someone suddenly entered from nowhere, saying they wanted to chat.
And for some reason, this person looked a bit familiar...
Nevertheless, faced with this situation, Lumine was clearly on high alert.
"Chat? Chat about what? We don't even know each other."
Lumine warily watched the one-eyed man in front of her, feeling that things were not simple.
"Let me first introduce myself. You can call me Kaeya, a Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt."
"Cavalry Captain."
Seeing Lumine's wary expression, Kaeya decided to state his Knights' identity first to put her at ease. Otherwise, it would be difficult to have a conversation like this.
Knights of Favonius?
Why are they looking for me?
Although she hadn't been in Mondstadt for long, Lumine still knew about the Knights of Favonius; she just couldn't understand why the Knights of Favonius were looking for her. Or rather, what this Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius wanted with her.
"Then what do you want with me?" Lumine asked, puzzled.
"Why don't we sit down and talk slowly? I can treat you to some food..."
"No need. Just say what you have to say quickly; I have things to do."
Before Kaeya could finish his sentence, Lumine had already refused him.
Having just finished eating, she had no appetite, let alone for a treat from a stranger; she would never eat such a thing.
"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point." Seeing that the stranger before him remained wary, a helpless Kaeya had no choice but to be direct. "You should know that the god we in Mondstadt worship is the Anemo Archon. Of course, he hasn't appeared for a very long time."
The Anemo Archon?!
Lumine was very surprised that this person named Kaeya actually wanted to talk about the Anemo Archon.
And quickly, a guess came to her mind.
Could he also know that Wendy is the Anemo Archon?
Because she had just met Wendy, she felt this possibility was very high.
"And then? What about the Anemo Archon? I don't know anything about that."
Although she had a guess, Lumine still pretended to know nothing.
Because she knew the Anemo Archon's identity, if this matter were exposed, people would definitely suspect she was responsible.
"It's just that recently there have been rumors that the Anemo Archon has reappeared, and we are looking for people who might know something. knowledgeable people."
Unexpectedly, this stranger claimed not to know the Anemo Archon, so Kaeya decided to continue probing.
"We just arrived in Mondstadt not long ago; how could we know your Anemo Archon?"
"It's not necessarily about you understanding the Anemo Archon, it's just... if you know where the Anemo Archon is..."
Once again, before Kaeya could finish speaking, Lumine interrupted him again.
Clearly, this Cavalry Captain knew something about the Anemo Archon; at the very least, he suspected that Wendy was the Anemo Archon.
He just wasn't entirely sure about some details, which is why he came to ask her, who had just interacted with Wendy.
But no matter what, she didn't want the Anemo Archon to think she had leaked her whereabouts or identity. Otherwise, all her previous efforts would be in vain, and that was absolutely unacceptable.
"Let's go, Paimon, no more talking nonsense with him."
After confirming a few things, Lumine decided to leave immediately.
Regardless of whether this Cavalry Captain knew Wendy's identity, she didn't want to say another word to him, or else she would let the Anemo Archon misunderstand, and everything would be ruined.
"Wait, I'll just say it directly. I think that girl named Wendy is very likely the Anemo—"
"Stop, stop, stop, don't say it! Your Anemo Archon doesn't want her identity exposed."
Unexpectedly, Kaeya intended to directly reveal the Anemo Archon's identity, so Lumine quickly told him to shut up. Fortunately, there were no other people in the tavern at the moment.
If she wasn't nearby, it would be fine, but if she was, no one should even think of revealing the Anemo Archon's identity, or else if the Anemo Archon thought she had exposed her identity, she would definitely be in trouble.
Moreover, and more importantly, she still needed to ask about her brother; that was truly very important.
The Anemo Archon doesn't want her identity exposed?
Kaeya wasn't too surprised by this outcome. After all, the Acting Grand Master had already made such a guess earlier at the Knights of Favonius Headquarters.
However, he wanted to know why this stranger knew such things, and if she also knew why the Anemo Archon wanted to hide her identity?
"So don't say it, or don't say it in front of me. Go anywhere else and say whatever you want."
After saying this, Lumine pulled Paimon and walked towards the door.
However, just as she was about to reach the door, someone opened it and walked in.
"Acting Grand Master, why are you here?"
Kaeya was somewhat surprised that the Acting Grand Master would come here as he walked over.
"Stop, stop, stop! Ugh, I can't stand you two anymore! Do you have somewhere private? I'll go there and talk properly with you, alright?"
"talk properly with you, alright?"
This time, Lumine finally couldn't take it anymore.
Rather than continuing to evade, it would be better to go to a private place and clarify some matters with these Knights of Favonius members.
The Knights of Favonius clearly already knew Wendy's identity, but they didn't seem to know why she wanted to hide her identity. After all, if they knew, they wouldn't be asking her directly here, so she planned to explain this crucial point to the Knights.
explain this crucial point to the Knights.
This way, she would be helping the Anemo Archon hide her identity, rather than revealing it, which was a completely opposite action.
Upon entering, Jean heard strange words coming from a young girl's mouth, and she was somewhat puzzled, unsure what had happened.
Wait... is she the Anemo Archon?
No... the appearance description doesn't match...
"Acting Grand Master, she knows something about the Anemo Archon."
