Around noon, Su Han noticed that Lumine was missing.
"Where is our Traveler?" he asked Jean.
"I sent her on a patrol to Dadaupa Gorge. She should be back by evening," Jean replied, a hint of jealousy in her voice. "You seem very concerned about her."
Su Han pulled the beautiful Dandelion Knight into his arms and whispered, "With you here, I don't think about other women. But she is special. The current ruler of the Abyss… is her own brother."
"What did you say?" Jean was startled. She knew Lumine's identity was somewhat special, but she hadn't expected that the ruler of the Abyss would have such a relationship with that young girl.
No wonder Su Han had asked her to take care of Lumine. So that was why!
"Lumine is not only special in identity, but her combat power is also very strong. The Abyss has been quiet for a long time recently. I don't think they will just let things go..." Su Han said faintly.
He had occupied such an important place as The Chasm. With Aether's personality, he would definitely not let it go. There would definitely be a counterattack in the near future.
However, Stormterror was being guarded very strictly, so there shouldn't be any problems. But the more it was like this, the more he felt something was wrong. Just like the Fatui before. This was merely the calm before the storm.
Jean looked up and suggested, "Do you want to go to Dadaupa Gorge? I remember your manor is almost finished..."
"Good idea. Let's go take a look... by the way, are you free today?"
Faced with Su Han's inquiry, the beautiful Grand Master smiled sweetly. "Noelle is very hardworking. After teaching her for so long... she can handle ordinary matters very well. Naturally, I can steal some leisure time..."
"Then let's go..."
Su Han took Jean's hand, and the two of them flew into the sky.
In a nearby building, Lisa looked at the two of them with envy. Should I also train a successor? Working every day is tiring.
While soaring in the sky, Su Han was surprised to find that the Grand Canal had already opened. He could even see ships transporting goods.
"How is it? You haven't been here for a while, are you shocked... Mondstadt people can be diligent too. With this canal, Jingfu Port is much quieter now..."
"I didn't expect it to be so fast. No wonder I found the city much more prosperous just now. So that's why..."
"Yes. Over at Falcon Coast, with those levitation technologies, the construction of the port is even faster... it has already taken shape. Economic income has increased significantly... If Inazuma stops its Sakoku Decree in the future, it will be a place more prosperous than Jingfu Port."
The rise of a new city naturally brought a large amount of economic flow. Coupled with the agricultural and pastoral output of Dadaupa Gorge, Mondstadt had finally broken away from its economic straits. It had even begun to build its own shipyard.
Before long, Su Han and Jean arrived at Falcon City. It was still a bit simple here, but various buildings had already begun to multiply. There were even shouts of hawking on the streets.
Merchants from Fontaine. Merchants from Liyue. Merchants from Natlan. A prosperous scene.
The streets were filled with Knights of Favonius patrolling. Of course, there were also many Mondstadt merchants transporting goods here to sell.
The birth of a port city also allowed many people to find opportunities for wealth. For example, Diona, the little cat, appeared in Su Han's vision. One could imagine that the Cat's Tail tavern had opened a branch here.
The two of them walked around for a while. Then, they arrived at the manor.
When they came last time, there were only some foundations here. But now it was almost completed. Gardens. Pools. And that beautiful lawn. It was simply a vacation resort.
Seeing Su Han arrive, the person in charge quickly came over to greet him.
"My lord... why didn't you say you were coming? Do you need to move in now? The interior decoration is almost complete. Only a few small rooms haven't been finished yet."
"No, I just came to take a look. Keep working hard..."
"Thank you for your praise, my lord."
Working for Su Han, who knows how many people envied him. And the commission was very high. The lord using him was giving him face.
Su Han took Jean around for a spin, then flew towards the interior of Dadaupa Gorge.
Originally, this was a tribe of Churl-churls. But now, it had slowly been opened up into a paradise for Mondstadt. A large amount of land had been turned into farms. Many fruit trees were planted on the hills.
It was also Jean's first time here. Looking at the busy workers, she sighed. "In the past, I actually suggested that they organize this place. But no one listened to my advice. The income from so many crops and fruit trees is simply too great... now the people in the city are arguing fiercely over the development rights here."
"Heh... just the nature of merchants. Actually, if Stormterror's Lair wasn't unsafe, they would have developed that side too..."
Near Wolvendom and Brightcrown Canyon, there was still a large amount of land undeveloped. But it was too dangerous there. It was not suitable for development at all. So they could only give up.
Below, Paimon, who was accompanying Lumine on her mission, saw the figures flying in the sky and quickly said, "Hey... Traveler. Look, isn't that Su Han?"
"Hm?"
Lumine turned her head and looked in the direction Paimon was pointing. She saw two familiar figures approaching rapidly.
"Hey... Su Han! We're over here..."
Paimon waved her little hand vigorously, afraid that they couldn't see them.
A moment later, Su Han arrived in front of the two.
"Little Paimon is so happy? Did you run out of jerky..."
"Hehe, you're so smart... that jerky was so delicious, spicy and tasty, I accidentally ate it all."
Hearing the other party reveal her thoughts, Paimon admitted it directly.
Subsequently, Su Han took out a new bag of snacks and smiled. "Here... take it and eat..."
"Wow... such a big bag! You're so good, Su Han..."
With food, Paimon instantly forgot her partner Lumine. She immediately began to gorge herself.
Lumine shook her head helplessly. This emergency food was too easy to bribe. Giving her a little food made her forget what she was supposed to do. Really.
At this time, Su Han asked Lumine, "How was the mission?"
"I killed some Abyss monsters. They were controlling Churl-churls to destroy the railway and ores. I stopped them... There were even slime attacks. However, I took them down easily..."
Lumine's mission today was patrol. Plus protecting transport. However, she thought it would be an ordinary day, but unexpectedly encountered many obstacles.
Paimon ate snacks and asked, "By the way... aren't you very busy, Su Han? Why do you have time to find us today?"
"Ah... it's like this. I recently obtained a power of light, so I taught it to the knights and priests of Mondstadt City. I was wondering if you wanted to cultivate it too?"
"Power of light? What is that... it doesn't seem to belong to the power of the seven elements!" Paimon tilted her head, looking puzzled.
Su Han explained, "That is the power of the Holy Light... a cultivation method from another world. It seems to have a good suppression on the Abyss. So, I came by to ask you. Are you willing to cultivate?"
Lumine lowered her head and thought for a while, then nodded. "I am willing to cultivate..."
She was thinking. If she could master more power, maybe she could learn more about her brother.
Subsequently, Su Han passed the power of the Holy Light to Lumine. What was surprising was that she just tried to cultivate it a little, and easily mastered the power of the Holy Light. And it was very strong. Even stronger than Barbara.
Lumine tried to channel the power into her sword, and a terrifying light bloomed from it.
"Wow... Traveler, you're amazing! You learned the power of the Holy Light so quickly!"
Cheerleader Paimon exclaimed.
But Lumine shook her head. "I don't know what happened either. It seems like this power was hidden in my body, and now it has been drawn out..."
She hadn't even meditated yet. The power was born. This made Lumine a little confused.
But Su Han revealed an expression of 'as expected.'
In the game of his previous life, Lumine could purify the filthy power in Dvalin's poisoned blood. Obviously, she possessed a special power. And now this power was clear. It should be the power of holiness!
Since it was also a holy power, mastering the Holy Light was undoubtedly very simple. She didn't even need devout faith.
Having learned some new moves, Lumine seemed very happy. She looked at the smiling Su Han and said, "Thank you for working so hard to help me..."
"It's nothing, we are all friends. And you are now a member of the Knights, this is what you should get. Alright, the things are given to you. Jean and I should leave... see you when we have time."
Saying that, Su Han hugged Jean and flew towards Dragonspine.
It wasn't easy to come out once. Today he wanted to have a hot spring couple's bath with the Dandelion Knight.
Paimon looked at the departing figures and sighed. "He's really too good to us..."
"Yes. A generous and selfless person. We must repay him in the future... alright, we should go back to Mondstadt City. This mission was really tiring. We have to rest well."
"Yeah, doing missions for the two of us is too tiring... we must rest."
"I was the one doing the mission, right?"
"But we are partners..." Paimon corrected Lumine's thought of taking all the credit.
However, after approaching Mondstadt City, Lumine felt a trace of unusual coldness.
"Paimon, did you notice... today's temperature is a bit wrong?"
"Ah? Now that you mention it, it seems so. It's clearly midsummer... why do I feel cold?"
The two of them looked puzzled.
And in Wolvendom, Razor, the Wolf Boy, had already fallen into a coma due to serious injuries.
