[Special Intel: You have obtained extra rewind chances: 0]
[Currently available rewind chances: 2.2]
[58. After surviving the twentieth night, important intel will be unlocked]
Su Yuan looked at the last intel prompt with a speechless expression.
What the heck, this was practically the same as before—just some polite nonsense, with nothing truly special at all…
Nothing at all about the changes in his death-rewind ability…
Su Yuan sighed lightly.
Looks like he could only pin his hopes on tomorrow's important intel, hoping it would bring something shocking and genuinely useful…
After that, Su Yuan returned to the others and shared all the intel he had just acquired.
"What! So the condition for my Eerie state is actually being stopped from fish-blasting?"
Klee exclaimed in surprise:
"Doesn't that mean, if I want to blast fish in the future, Master Jean—just to protect Mondstadt and everyone's safety—will have no choice but to let me do it?"
"Hooray! Master Jean won't be able to stop me from blasting fish anymore! I'll become the freest person in the whole wide world!"
"Klee, I'm guessing you're just joking with everyone, right?"
Albedo smiled and spoke gently to Klee:
"The Klee I know—although sometimes a little mischievous—is still an innocent and kind child. She wouldn't only care about her own fun while recklessly doing things that trouble or hurt others…"
"Hehe, Brother Albedo, that's just like you to say that…" Klee giggled and said, "Of course Klee understands all that! I was only saying it casually."
"Looks like, in order to protect Mondstadt and everyone, I really can't just go blasting fish whenever I want anymore!"
"But about what you said, Su Yuan, regarding Amber's condition for Eerie state… I do have some concerns."
Eula, standing to the side, spoke with a slightly worried tone:
"Since Mondstadt has banned alcohol, many drunkards with nothing better to do have gone to take the Wind Glider license exam instead. Amber has been busy dealing with that these days…"
"Although the Wind Glider license exam isn't exactly difficult, what if some of them really aren't good at it?"
"That's why I think we should head back to Mondstadt first, and tell the Knights and Amber about this, so they can suspend the license exams for now—just in case…"
"Indeed, if Albetwo really wants to hide himself, it would still be difficult for us to find him…" Albedo also spoke up in agreement.
"Why don't we return to Mondstadt first, inform Amber and the others of this news, and take Su Yuan to the Cathedral of Favonius to have his body examined…"
Su Yuan glanced at Albedo from the corner of his eye.
This Albedo again—why was he so eager to return to Mondstadt?
Could there really be nothing suspicious about it?
He thought it over for a while.
Staying here at Dragonspine wasn't really leading anywhere…
Maybe he should just go along with Albedo's suggestion, return to Mondstadt with him, and see what he was actually planning.
"Alright then, in that case, let's head back to Mondstadt first!"
Su Yuan spoke up: "Besides, I also want to take a look at the Cathedral of Favonius…"
After that, under Albedo's lead, the group went back along the Snow-Covered Path and made their way north, returning to the outpost they had stopped at before entering Dragonspine.
The moment Joel saw them return, he excitedly ran forward and asked:
"Traveler big brother, looks like you've found Brother Albedo…"
"Huh? That's strange. Just now I had this sudden feeling, as if I sensed the presence of my father, Joserf… but why don't I see him now?"
"I'm sorry, Joel," Aether said apologetically, "we haven't been able to bring your father Joserf back yet, but we did seem to catch sight of him on the mountain. We're certain he's still alive, so please don't worry for now."
"Right now someone among us is injured, so we plan to return to Mondstadt to get treatment and rest first. After that, we'll continue searching Dragonspine for your father's whereabouts…"
"Mm, alright." Joel nodded.
"No matter what, thank you, Traveler big brother, thank you everyone!"
Meanwhile, Su Yuan's suspicions toward this Albedo only deepened…
If the one with them now wasn't the real Albedo but instead Albetwo in disguise, then Joel's so-called intuition of sensing his father—couldn't it have actually been pointing to this Albedo?
After all, while Albetwo and Joel weren't related by blood, they had lived together for quite some time before.
It wasn't impossible that some kind of strange bond had formed…
After bidding Joel farewell and leaving the outpost, the group continued on their way.
Finally, by noon, they arrived back in Mondstadt.
"Ah, it's already this late… It's lunchtime, and my stomach is growling…"
Paimon rubbed her belly, looking weak and listless, and said:
"How about we go eat together first?"
"Eula had already promised to treat me at the Good Hunter yesterday, but in the end, we couldn't go because there was just too much going on…"
"You all went through a lot of trouble searching for me on the mountain, and I've also caused everyone plenty of worry." Albedo spoke with slight apology in his tone.
"Let's all go to the Good Hunter for a meal. Order whatever you like—it's my treat."
"Hooray! Food! I can finally have a big meal again!" Paimon cheered happily.
After everyone had a hearty meal at the Good Hunter, Albedo suggested:
"For the rest of today, let's all rest well here in Mondstadt. Tomorrow morning, we'll continue our search on Dragonspine for Albetwo's traces."
"I'll return to the Knights' laboratory to continue my alchemy research and also look for more clues about Albetwo. So, I'll take my leave now."
As he spoke, Albedo looked toward Klee and said:
"Klee, come back to the Knights with me. You've been out all day—Master Jean must be very worried."
"Okay, Brother Albedo!" Klee replied as she stepped forward and took his hand.
"I'll head back to the Knights too, to see if there are any urgent missions waiting for me," Eula said.
After everyone had left, Aether turned to Su Yuan and said:
"Let's go, Su Yuan. Paimon and I will take you to see Barbara. Maybe your headaches can be completely cured through her prayers and healing."
Just as Su Yuan was about to speak up, ready to share all of his suspicions about Albedo with Aether, a loud crash suddenly rang out from the direction of the Mondstadt Cathedral.
The very ground trembled with the force!
From afar, anxious shouts echoed through the city:
"Something's wrong! Something's wrong! The Statue of Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, has collapsed!!!"
