Besides these three strong contenders, the Six-Fingered Kotoma also revealed the existence of another person.
This person was just a little girl in red clothes, but her strength was terrifyingly amazing.
Her power could directly change the terrain! Wherever she went, there was desolation.
But how could a little girl possess such astonishing destructive power?
So, the Six-Fingered Kotoma reasonably suspected that she must be in possession of some treasure.
As soon as Paimon heard there was treasure, he immediately got excited; wherever there's treasure, there's little Paimon.
Paimon and Lumine decided to go ask Acting Grand Master Jean, as the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, she should be very clear about who the strongest combatant is.
However, unfortunately, the busy Acting Grand Master Jean had no time to compile any information on the strongest combatants.
Not only did the Traveler not get any information, but she was also entrusted with dealing with the Abyss Mages around Mondstadt.
Bidding farewell to Acting Grand Master Jean, Lumine had just walked out of Acting Grand Master Jean's office when a little girl came running towards her.
With a 'thud,' she crashed right into the Traveler.
Thankfully, Ying had a bit of a safety cushion, which provided some buffer.
If it had been Hu Tao or Furina, one couldn't even imagine how much it would have hurt.
Ying helped the little girl up, and Paimon asked:
"Are you alright?"
Klee rubbed her little head and replied, "Ugh! I, I'm fine! I'm sorry for bumping into you guys."
Those who didn't know the truth said: What a polite child.
Mondstadter said: Don't be fooled, she's the Fish-Blasting Confinement True Monarch.
In the book, Lumine picked up a note Klee had dropped, on which was written:
"Setting off firecrackers in the city, report to the confinement room."
"Bombing people, Acting Grand Master Jean comes knocking."
"Setting the mountain on fire, Klee is done for."
Seeing this, the Mondstadter nodded, but those outside Mondstadt didn't understand.
She's just a little girl, if she likes setting off firecrackers, let her, why does she have to be sent to the confinement room for that?
Especially the Inazuman, if setting off firecrackers meant confinement, wouldn't Yoimiya be sentenced to life imprisonment?
Klee: "Ah?! Th-this... this is what Brother Kaeya summarized for me... um, survival rules!"
The Four Great Talents of the tavern were still gathered together reading the book as usual.
Diluc couldn't help but say, "How are you in this again?"
It's normal for you to be in your own story, but why are you also in Acting Grand Master Jean's story, my story, and Klee's story?
Your appearance rate is even higher than the Anemo Archon's.
Kaeya said with a grin, "What, jealous?"
Diluc rolled his eyes at Kaeya, "It would be even better if you could do something useful in these stories."
Venti took a sip of wine, not daring to speak.
Rosaria ignored the bickering adoptive brothers and continued reading the story.
The reason Klee was in such a hurry in the story was because her treasure hidden in the Whispering Woods was lost.
Paimon immediately caught the keyword—treasure.
Dealing with the Abyss Mages could wait; they had to find the treasure first.
The Traveler followed Klee, who was skipping and humming a tune, to the Whispering Woods.
At this moment, Klee was very happy because she had made friends other than Razor and Albedo.
Klee had placed a wooden sign next to the treasure, making it easy for the Traveler to find the buried treasure.
However, such an obvious act also easily attracted the attention of others.
For example, a certain Abyss Mage mentioned by Acting Grand Master Jean had already dug up the 'treasure' and was holding it in its hand.
The Abyss Mage had been waiting here to 'deal with' Klee, but unexpectedly, Klee had brought helpers, so it had to retreat first.
Seeing this, the Four Great Talents of the tavern, along with Acting Grand Master Jean, Amber, Eula, and others, all frowned simultaneously.
This Abyss Mage was after Klee!
"It seems I'll have to ask Charles to cover for me," Master Diluc said softly.
"No need to trouble Master Diluc, I believe the Knights of Favonius will handle it," Rosaria said, looking at Kaeya.
Although she said that, Rosaria was already preparing to eliminate that Abyss Mage.
"Don't be so anxious~," Venti soothed everyone.
"The wind has already told me the location of that Abyss Mage."
On the other side, within the Knights of Favonius, Acting Grand Master Jean rarely put down the documents in her hand.
"Lisa, I'm going to step out for a moment; please help me handle things," Acting Grand Master Jean said, already opening her office door and walking out.
"Huh?" Lisa helplessly sat in Acting Grand Master Jean's seat and began to process documents.
I was just here to read the story with you, why do I have to work overtime?
"Such an impatient one~ Acting Grand Master Jean." However, it's true that Klee cannot be allowed to encounter danger.
Amber and Eula were the most anxious; they both wished they could fly back to Mondstadt City right now to deal with that Abyss Mage.
However, due to their missions, both of them were still outside the city, somewhat far away.
Fortunately, Teacher Albedo was still sketching in Dragonspine and wasn't reading the book, otherwise the Abyss Mage would have been shattered into eight pieces.
Lin Qiu's book was a prophecy book, and Sucrose and Albedo were researching alchemy, so they hadn't paid special attention to Lin Qiu's book.
So, they didn't immediately buy and read this newly released book.
It might not be until Lin Qiu releases the Calx Chapter (Albedo's Story Quest) that they pay more attention.
Given the current situation, because this Abyss Mage was after Klee, almost all capable people in Mondstadt had taken action.
So, I ask you, is the title of Mondstadt's strongest combatant truly well-deserved?
Back in the story, Klee and the Traveler entered the Domain together, and after defeating the monsters along the way, they found that Abyss Mage.
The Abyss Mage took out Klee's 'treasure' and declared:
"We have collected detailed combat power intelligence from human rumors."
"This little girl in red possesses Mondstadt's most powerful treasure."
"Now the treasure is in my hands; your urgency is useless."
"I'll use this treasure to deal with you!"
Seeing the Abyss Mage about to use the 'treasure,' Klee hastily tried to stop it.
"No! Pl-please don't touch it!"
The Abyss Mage naturally ignored Klee's plea and directly touched the 'treasure.'
Then with a 'boom,' it exploded, leaving no trace behind.
"Ah! Bombing people, Acting Grand Master Jean comes knocking."
"It's over, it's over... everything's over, boo hoo hoo..."
Klee was sad; she had violated the survival rules, and Acting Grand Master Jean would surely discipline her.
Back in Mondstadt, Klee obediently went to Acting Grand Master Jean's office.
"I... boo hoo hoo... I surrender."
"My... my bomb... the bomb injured someone."
"Boo hoo hoo, I violated the survival rules, I definitely won't see tomorrow's sun."
Acting Grand Master Jean became even more nervous than Klee upon hearing this; she was Klee's guardian, after all, and if someone was injured by a bomb, it meant she hadn't supervised properly.
She quickly asked, "Klee, answer me first, where is the injured person, where is the injured person?"
Lin Qiu recalled a line from the Lady, 'Not even ashes will remain!'
In the book, Lumine quickly explained that the one who was blown up was an Abyss Mage.
Acting Grand Master Jean then relaxed, having thought Klee's bomb had injured a Mondstadter citizen.
If it was an Abyss Mage, then it didn't matter at all; in fact, she should be rewarded.
Let's reward Klee by letting her participate in the next Windblume Festival.
However, before that, Klee's act of hiding bombs to blast fish also needed to be addressed, so it's still best to report to the confinement room.
"So, even if you're ignored, you'll still die, huh?" Venti poked the Abyss Mage in front of him.
Standing beside the Abyss Mage were Acting Grand Master Jean, Kaeya, Diluc, Venti, and Rosaria.
Have I... have I broken the heavenly laws? The Abyss Mage was in tears.
