I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [92]

"Ningguang injured and unconscious?"

"Over a dozen Millelith killed?"

At the Jade Chamber’s base, Ganyu’s words left Paimon gasping in shock.

"Yes, Traveler. I was just about to visit Lady Ningguang, who has been brought back for treatment. Would you like to accompany me?" Ganyu’s voice, though quick, retained its usual calmness.

"Hmm…" The Traveler hesitated, her mind racing, before speaking softly. "I just returned from the End of the One God’s Tomb with Mr. Zhongli..."

This didn’t elicit much reaction from Ganyu, who merely glanced at her and continued, "Lady Ningguang’s injuries bear traces of Hydro and Electro elements."

This cryptic statement left Paimon scratching her head in frustration. "Let’s just go already! We need to check on Ningguang and see how badly she’s hurt!"

"Mm." The Traveler nodded slightly.

Without wasting any time, Ganyu led the way.

About fifteen minutes later, they arrived at a medical clinic in Liyue Harbor.

Ningguang lay on a hospital bed, her eyes closed, her breathing steady but faint.

Her elegant, gold-trimmed qipao had been scorched by lightning, with much of it reduced to tatters. Her pale thighs were marred by charred wounds, while a gash across her chest had only just begun to heal, the raw new flesh still pink and tender. Around the wound, traces of water soaked into her skin.

"Definitely Hydro and Electro," Paimon observed as she leaned in for a closer look.

Several Millelith stationed around the room frowned at Paimon’s lack of decorum, ready to intervene.

Ganyu waved them off, signaling them to let it be.

After examining the injuries, Paimon retreated to whisper in the Traveler’s ear.

"The injuries are clearly from Hydro and Electro elements. Mr. Zhongli’s power is Geo, and the Outer Order’s apostles use Pyro. If I recall correctly, none of their forces exhibit Hydro or Electro elemental traces."

"Mm." The Traveler exhaled softly, her tension easing.

In truth, the thought of opposing Zhongli left her uneasy. Just imagining a confrontation with the Geo Archon while her powers were still incomplete made her heart sink.

Fortunately, the current evidence seemed to clear Zhongli and the Outder Order apostles of any involvement.

Unlike the relieved Traveler, Ganyu remained contemplative, arms crossed.

"Lady Ningguang was discovered about an hour ago, surrounded by the bodies of several Millelith. Other Millelith were unconscious, like her, unable to move and still unresponsive," Ganyu explained, her voice calm yet thoughtful. "None of the witnesses have woken up yet, but elemental traces usually linger for at least an hour. There’s still time to track the culprits."

Ganyu turned to the Traveler. "Traveler… would you help me with a task?"

"I’d go myself, but I need to stay here to guard Lady Ningguang and handle urgent matters. At the moment, you’re the only one capable of using Elemental Sight to follow the elemental traces. I must rely on you for this."

The Traveler didn’t hesitate, patting her chest confidently to express her willingness.

A few minutes later, she and Paimon were back at the entry bridge to Liyue Harbor, discussing the situation while hurrying toward their destination.

Flying alongside the running Traveler, Paimon analyzed the scenario. "According to Ganyu, Ningguang was attacked while on her way to establish new contracts with the adepti."

"After leaving the Golden House two days ago, where the remains of Rex Lapis were enshrined, Ningguang seemed uneasy, as if she anticipated something happening to Liyue Harbor. To prevent further complications, she decided to meet with the adepti tonight under the cover of darkness to renew the contracts for Liyue’s protection."

"This was top secret—only the Millelith assigned to escort her and Ganyu knew the time and location. Even Keqing, another member of the Qixing, wasn’t informed."

"So being ambushed is really strange."

"Ganyu probably asked us, outsiders, to investigate because she wants to avoid internal interference in Liyue Harbor."

The Traveler listened intently as she ran.

About half an hour later, they arrived at the location Ganyu had described—a small canyon nestled between two mountains.

The ground was a mess, blood soaking into the dirt, with traces of destruction everywhere.

Under the moonlight, the Traveler carefully observed the battlefield. The marks left behind included slashes, spear wounds, frost residue, scorch marks, and puddles of water.

It was clear that multiple combatants had been involved.

Paimon flew closer than the Traveler, circling the battle scars twice before returning confidently to her side.

"Guess what I found?" she asked smugly.

"Hmph," the Traveler replied, her tone neutral. "It was the Fatui."

"Ah! So you noticed too," Paimon pouted, her smugness deflating instantly.

Her frustration didn’t last long. After a brief moment, she perked up and said earnestly, "The traces here are identical to the ones we saw in Mondstadt when we fought the Fatui. The weapons, the elemental reactions—there’s no difference."

"Unless there’s another organization in Liyue with the same variety of elemental powers as the Fatui, this could only be their doing."

"So… Childe." The Traveler summarized succinctly.

"Ugh~~!" Paimon groaned, pulling at her hair in exasperation. "Why is there always something happening? One thing after another—first the Outer Order, then the Fatui Harbingers. Even Zhongli faking his death! Not to mention the tensions between Ningguang, the Tianquan Star, and Keqing, the Yuheng Star. Liyue feels so much more complicated than Mondstadt!"

"Everything about these events—the scale, the confusion—ugh, it’s too much!"

"Mm… mm." The Traveler nodded, her agreement obvious in her adorably earnest expression.
