Mondstadt provided Lin Qiu with some emotional value, which was nothing more than 'anger' and 'guilt', and all these emotional values were converted into strength.
It is worth mentioning that the system only changes the amount of element, control, and stamina; the specific usage techniques still need to be explored by oneself.
Simply put, the system only provides numerical values, and skills must be comprehended by oneself.
The Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt came forward to guarantee that such a future would not happen, and the Anemo Archon's Gnosis would never be stolen.
This matter was also very embarrassing for the Knights of Favonius, so they naturally made guarantees.
The Fatui also had no choice but to make diplomatic compromises for a future that had not yet happened, and only then did the matter come to an end.
It can be said that it was a rare instance of Snezhnaya being at a disadvantage in diplomatic relations with Mondstadt.
This was also why the future changed; otherwise, even with a compromise, the Mondstadt citizens would not have let the Fatui off the hook.
Although the Fatui were temporarily let go, the Mondstadters still disliked the Fatui, often giving them dirty looks.
While things were getting heated in Mondstadt, Lin Qiu had already returned to Fontaine.
Navia and Clorinde were waiting for him at Lin Qiu's home.
"You're back?" Navia was not surprised by Lin Qiu's sudden appearance.
Lin Qiu had mentioned the matter of the Teleport Waypoints to them.
However, what surprised her was, why is there a Hydro Archon standing next to you!?
Furina was holding the gifts and desserts Lin Qiu bought, looking dazed.
Lin Qiu wanted to help her carry these things, but she wouldn't let him, and now, well, people saw it, didn't they?
"Ahem, Ms. Navia, it's a pleasure to meet you." Furina elegantly placed the items into Lin Qiu's arms.
"It's a pleasure for me too, Ms. Furina." Navia said casually.
In her impression, it was not at all surprising for the Hydro Archon to do such a thing.
Furina was also very helpless; earlier in Liyue, when she opened the door, there was one girl.
Now back in Fontaine, when she opened the door, it turned into two girls?
Qiu! Shouldn't you explain yourself!
"I met someone today, she kept calling your name and wanted to see you." It turned out Navia came for Mona.
She didn't bring Mona directly because she couldn't be sure of Mona's purpose in looking for Lin Qiu.
What if she was here to cause trouble?
"Who?" Lin Qiu asked.
"She said her name is Mona." Navia replied.
Mona! Hearing that name, Lin Qiu understood.
She was looking for him, nothing more than for the matter of the prophecy.
Although I can't prophesy, I can bluff, and I just met the Anemo Archon, so take me to her!
The two arrived at the Spina di Rosula's secret base.
Furina and Clorinde did not go together; Furina had to return to Palais Mermonia, while Clorinde escorted her (and helped carry things).
Mona was currently eating and drinking heartily, having just cleared out all the leftover food in the shop.
"I just used Hydromancy to predict that Lin Qiu would come here, why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Having finished the last bit of food, Mona was a little puzzled.
She had been waiting here for a long time, why hadn't he arrived yet?
Mona was a bit stumped, who told Lin Qiu to be in Fontaine one moment, Liyue the next, and now back in Fontaine again.
She wasn't sure if she would meet Lin Qiu because she had only calculated Lin Qiu's 'movements'.
As for her own destiny, Mona would not look at it; that was a great taboo for astrologers.
Just as she was thinking, Lin Qiu arrived.
Mona breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed her technique was fine, and she hadn't missed him.
"Astrologis MonaMegistus."
Lin Qiu immediately recited Mona's full name.
Mona's name, translated, means 'Great Astrologer Mona'.
Her master was even more interesting, named 'Astramancer Barbeloth Trismegistus'.
It means 'Thrice Great Astrologer Barbeloth'.
Navia's CPU loaded for a moment; it seemed Lin Qiu just recited a spell?
Lin Qiu chanted too quickly for Navia to hear clearly.
"As expected of the ProphetLin Qiu, to directly call out my full name." Mona nodded in approval.
Not just anyone knew her full name; normally, she only introduced herself as Mona.
Although most of her published articles used her full name, unfortunately, not many people remembered it.
She and Lin Qiu had never met, so she figured he must have calculated her appearance and identity.
Thinking of this, Mona was already eager to have an in-depth discussion about astrology with Lin Qiu.
"Excuse me, what astrological method did you use? What instruments did you use? What books did you read?"
Mona's eyes had already begun to sparkle.
She believed Lin Qiu must possess some powerful astrology, otherwise, how could he predict so clearly?
The title of Lin Qiu's book, "love and teyvat," happened to be the 'constellation of destiny' of that person, which most people wouldn't know.
To this, Lin Qiu replied, what instruments? A computer! What books? allogene!
Of course, he couldn't tell Mona that directly.
"Well, that's a secret." Lin Qiu said.
Mona understood; many people's astrology is only passed down to disciples, so it's normal not to want to talk about it.
But it's okay if you don't want to talk; surely I can observe, learn, and exchange ideas by your side?
Coincidentally, I'm also preparing to publish an article in the Steam Bird Newspaper, so staying in Fontaine for a while is fine.
"But I can tell you something about your destiny." Lin Qiu continued.
"Oh? What is it?" Mona became interested.
Astrologers generally do not use "astrology" on themselves, as doing so can be very dangerous.
Even when it comes to their own destiny, it can become blurry because the astrologer themselves does not want to see their own destiny.
This is also why the Old Woman would ask Mona to retrieve something; it's not that she couldn't calculate it, but that she didn't want to see anything about her own destiny.
But if it's told by someone else, then there's no problem.
"Later, the Old W... I mean Barbeloth will ask you to retrieve something from Mondstadt."
"When that time comes, you will meet a little girl named Klee, she has a book, just read it."
"Your destiny is in there." Lin Qiu smiled.
"Is that so? I understand." Mona didn't doubt him.
This person even mentioned her master's name, so he was indeed capable.
The only regret was that the Old Woman was going to give her a task to go to Mondstadt, so she couldn't stay in Fontaine now.
After a few more words, Mona prepared to leave.
She planned to go to the Steam Bird Newspaper to collect her manuscript fees, and then head to Mondstadt.
Since she already knew the future, she would act in advance.
The only thing that made Mona's chest ache was that the Old Woman had just given her freedom to travel, and after only a short time, she was given another task.
In fact, Barbeloth letting her leave early was because she had calculated that Mona would meet Lin Qiu.
She calculated that Lin Qiu would send Mona to Mondstadt to retrieve her item, but the later content involved her destiny, so she did not continue to look.
Because of Lin Qiu, the Dragon Disaster ended early, and Xiangling going to Lin Qiu's home was to help him tidy up before heading to Mondstadt.
At this time, Xiangling, who was setting off, would just happen to meet the Traveler, because Lumine was on her way to Liyue.
At the same time, The Knave was also on her way, riding a horse.
