In the story, Lisa and Jean explained the current situation of Mondstadt's Dragon Disaster to the Traveler, and stated that they had found the source of the Dragon Disaster's power.
This immediately piqued Jean and Lisa's interest.
Hadn't they been searching for so long precisely to find this?
The book stated that the source of Stormterror's power was precisely the Four Winds Guardians Temple.
"This… did the East Wind Guardian burn himself out from the very beginning?"
"Does he hate Mondstadt that much?" Jean sounded a little disheartened.
"Jean…" Lisa was about to offer some comfort, but before she could speak, Jean spoke first.
"No, I don't believe Mondstadt's East Wind Guardian would betray Mondstadt, there must be a hidden reason!"
Jean's gaze was firm; the Knights of Favonius, as Mondstadt's West Wind Guardian, would never question the East Wind Guardian's resolve.
This was also why the Knights of Favonius had always been unwilling to harm Stormterror, who was Dvalin.
Lisa smiled; this was the Jean she knew—proper, serious, diligent, yet not lacking in empathy.
Meanwhile, Amber had already read this part and, without a word, was already on her way to the Four Winds Guardians Temple.
Of course, though she was impulsive, she wasn't a brute, and wasn't planning to charge in alone.
She was merely going as a reconnaissance Knight to first investigate the surroundings of the Four Winds Guardians Temple and, while she was at it, clear out the monsters there.
"The source of power is the Four Winds Guardians Temple?"
Kaeya muttered to himself, though he was actually intentionally speaking for Diluc to hear.
Indeed, Diluc outwardly didn't look in their direction, wiping a glass with an expressionless face, but in his mind, he was already planning to go take a look at the Four Winds Guardians Temple.
Diluc didn't fully believe that the contents of this book were a prophecy of the future.
But he was willing to try for such a possibility, as long as it was good for Mondstadt.
Moreover, the book not only revealed the source of Dvalin's power but also described the mechanisms and monsters in each temple.
Lin Qiu thought the mechanisms in the temples shouldn't be a big problem, but he wasn't sure about the number of monsters.
After all, Teyvat in reality was much larger than in the game, and the number of monsters was also much greater.
So Lin Qiu didn't write specific numbers, only the types of monsters that appeared, which should be roughly accurate.
The power within a single temple wasn't much, so the monsters it could attract naturally wouldn't be too strong.
Presumably, it would be similar to the game, with only some Hilichurls and Slimes.
"Lisa!"
"Yes, I'll go find Kaeya now." Lisa nodded.
This book was the best guide; since the answers were already there, they naturally had to copy them beautifully.
However, the Traveler hadn't arrived yet, so they needed to make some extra preparations, like bringing more people?
Unfortunately, Mondstadt's biggest problem right now was a shortage of manpower; if it came down to it, they could only call on Noelle.
Noelle's strength alone definitely qualified her to be a Knight, but unfortunately, her inability to refuse people's requests was why Jean had never made her a full Knight.
She was truly worried that if Noelle became a full Knight and went out on missions, something unexpected might happen, and it wouldn't be good if she was tricked by bad people.
But if Noelle needed someone to accompany her on every mission, then she truly couldn't be called a full Knight.
"Sigh, I really hope the little darling can come soon."
Lisa finally understood why she welcomed the Traveler so much in the book.
The Traveler's arrival truly solved Mondstadt's urgent manpower shortage; he was truly the best tool!
He had strength, brains, execution ability, and at the same time, no background or status, no conflicts of interest, no need to worry about him being a spy from another country—was there a better tool than him?
Lisa wondered when the Traveler would arrive as she made her way to the tavern; as for where Kaeya was?
She didn't even need to guess where Kaeya was, as he spent most of his time there when he wasn't working.
Just then, a homing pigeon flew over Lisa's head, catching her attention.
"This is? Amber's homing pigeon? Is there something urgent to report to Jean?"
Lisa quickened her steps; she needed to quickly bring Kaeya to gossip, oh no, to understand the intelligence.
The homing pigeon flew to Jean's office window and landed, pecking at the window as if knocking.
Jean naturally noticed the movement and opened the window, taking the letter from the homing pigeon.
'I met the Traveler!'
These big words were written on the letter.
It turned out that Amber, on her way to the Four Winds Guardians Temple, happened to see the Traveler and Paimon walking and practicing their Anemo element power.
A blonde Traveler and an unknown floating object—such a combination was too eye-catching; it would be difficult for Amber to mistake them for anyone else.
"What!?" Jean was both surprised and delighted.
She was delighted that the Traveler's arrival was clearly helpful to Mondstadt.
She was surprised that since the Traveler was arriving soon, wouldn't Stormterror's attack on the city also be soon?
In reality, it wasn't that urgent, because the Traveler had just arrived at Starfell Lake.
Mondstadt in reality was still very large; even walking in a straight line from Starfell Lake to Mondstadt City would take several days, not to mention a large forest in between.
Amber also happened to be at Windrise, and on her way to the Four Winds Guardians Temple, she coincidentally passed by Starfell Lake and encountered the Traveler.
Logically, the journey from Windrise to Starfell Lake would also take some time.
But Amber always took the unconventional route; she flew down directly from above, which was how she happened to meet the Traveler.
At this time, Lumine had just obtained her elemental power and was still practicing, with no immediate plans to go to Mondstadt City.
And Amber, facing the Traveler and Paimon, had the same feeling as Lin Qiu: that she was unilaterally familiar with them.
However, fortunately, Amber was an enthusiastic and sociable girl; she quickly hit it off with the Traveler and Paimon.
Out of curiosity, and also wanting to verify the contents of the book, Amber asked, "By the way, is Paimon your mascot?"
"No, she's emergency food!" Lumine answered decisively, her voice no longer hoarse for a moment.
"That's completely wrong!! How am I even worse than a mascot!!" Paimon stomped her feet in the air.
"We're friends, we're friends, right!"
Lumine smiled and didn't refute; of course, she had long considered little Paimon a friend.
The reason she said that was simply to tease little Paimon.
"The same answer as in the book…" Amber now completely believed the contents of the book.
"Book? What book?" Paimon asked curiously.
"Paimon… can you read?" Lumine asked out of genuine curiosity.
"You're underestimating me too much! Of course, I can read!" Paimon put her hands on her chest and tilted her little head up.
"It's a prophecy book; it prophesied your arrival." Amber explained.
"Is there really such a magical book? Then if we get along well with the author, wouldn't we be able to know the future?"
Paimon's eyes lit up, seemingly seeing a way to make money from it.
"Prophecy?" Lumine also became interested, wondering if there was any trace of her brother in the book.
"Hmm, now isn't the time to read the book, but anyway, I'll take you to Mondstadt City first." Amber felt a slight sense of urgency.
After all, in her opinion, didn't the Traveler's appearance mean that Stormterror was about to attack Mondstadt City?
She had to hurry back to support Mondstadt City; even if the Traveler didn't help, she had to face the crisis in the city.

Character Voice Line · Traveler: About the prophecy book
Paimon: It's truly a magical book! It's just a pity there's no news of your brother.
Lumine: It's okay, I can search slowly.
Paimon: Why don't we just go ask the author directly? He knows so many things.
Lumine: Little Paimon is right!
Lumine: Another task has been added: finding the author of the prophecy book.
