Chapter 152 What I Want to See is the Storm
"Could it be that one of the Seven Gods secretly extended a helping hand to this nation on the verge of destruction?"
Xu Ning rubbed his temples, pondering the changes in the Winter Kingdom from his memory.
It seems that the queen of Winter's End took in many of the survivors of Kanria.
If the author of this book, out of gratitude for the help from the Ice God, were to be lenient in his writing, it would be perfectly reasonable.
So what kind of secret does the Abyss Mage, a knowledgeable member of the Abyss Order, want to uncover from this story?
Xu Ning thought for a moment, then opened the table of contents of the book again, and his gaze suddenly fell on the introduction of Volume Seven.
"...This is the final volume, which tells the story of how everything ended and the prophecy of the Night Mother."
Xu Ning snapped the book shut, stood up, and stretched.
"So that's what you were looking for."
"The final outcome of all the events, and the prophecy of the Night Mother, are probably the most valuable things in this set of books for them!"
"It seems we really need to find a way to get our hands on the other books, especially the last one."
The next morning, Xu Ning, who had a good night's sleep for the first time in days, arrived at the Mondstadt Library early.
"morning!"
A greeting descended from the sky, and the fiery red girl's stockings drew a dazzling white streak across the sky.
Amber, beaming with enthusiasm, greeted him cheerfully, "Xu Ning, are you here to visit Ke Lai so early too?"
Xu Ning hesitated for a while before realizing that the little girl hadn't yet received news that Ke Lai had gone to Xumi.
"Let's go in!"
Amber skipped and hopped into the library like a happy little rabbit.
When Xu Ning strolled in, Amber was already reading Cole's letter with a serious expression.
Although there was a hint of reluctance on her face, Amber finally smiled and said, "I was hoping to try all the badminton games with her. But once she's fully recovered, we'll definitely see each other again."
Xu Ning leaned against the second-floor railing and smiled.
Perhaps on this continent of Teyvat, there really is no difficulty that can make this little rabbit in front of me show any worry!
"You're here, little drunkard. This is a little gift from your big sister, three times the happiness!"
When Xu Ning saw the three crystal bottles that Lisa handed him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"I can tell from your face that you really like these potions. Would you be interested in learning some alchemy and medicine-making techniques?"
Xu Ning thought for a moment and asked Lisa, "I have a friend who is... well, maybe a little better than Cole. I wonder if he can learn from her?"
Lisa chuckled and said, "Little drunkard, if you need anything in the future, just come and ask your older sister for it."
After leaving the library, Xu Ning wandered around the streets for a while with nothing to do, and suddenly remembered the Adventurers' Guild.
I strolled to the small house on the street corner and looked at Miss Catherine standing behind the counter.
"Towards the stars and the abyss. Hello, traveler, how can I help you?"
As Xu Ning approached Catherine, he heard her greet the "traveler".
Xu Ning quickly looked around, but didn't see Ying or Kong. "Are you talking to me?"
Catherine smiled and said, "Yes..."
Then he repeated what he had just said.
Xu Ning laughed and said, "So I've become a traveler myself. Being called a traveler is quite fitting."
"Are there any missions available? High pay and short duration would be ideal, but if not..."
Catherine suddenly laughed and said, "There really are some!"
Catherine handed Xu Ning a piece of paper with a request to find someone.
The girl who disappeared for two days is named Fender.
It is said that the last time he was spotted was near Starfall Lake, and the person said that Fender seemed to be heading towards Windrise Mountain.
Xu Ning frowned and glanced at her. "What's this girl doing running off to such a dangerous place all by herself? I've got nothing else to do anyway, so I'll go check it out!"
Xu Ning remembered that there seemed to be a few teleportation anchor points in the Windrise Mountain area, so he decided to go and activate them.
Walk out of the main gate of Mondstadt and head straight to the transmission anchor at the crossroads. With a tap of your hand, you'll find yourself on the large rock in the center of Starfall Lake.
Xu Ning walked back along the main road and stopped at a broken stone wall.
Looking north from here, you can see a cave that passes right through the mountain wall, serving as a natural entrance into the mountain.
Xu Ning passed through the stone cave and saw a man dressed in a green uniform, clearly a member of the Adventurers' Guild, standing by the roadside.
"Be careful, this is a dangerous area. If you don't have a compelling reason to go, please return to Mondstadt."
As Xu Ning walked over, the man spoke.
Xu Ning smiled and greeted him, then asked, "Have you seen a girl walking towards the mountains here?"
The man frowned and said, "There have been quite a few more monsters in here lately. I'm here to dissuade people from rashly coming in to explore. Oh... you've taken on a mission to find Fender, haven't you?"
Xu Ning nodded.
The man chuckled, "I see. My name is Loga, a member of the Adventurers' Guild. I was the one who relayed the news that Fender hadn't returned home for two days."
Xu Ning asked, "So, you saw her go into the mountains with your own eyes?"
Luo Jia nodded and said, "Yes, not only did we see her, but we also know roughly where she was going, most likely to be Wangfeng Cape, directly east of Wangfeng Mountain."
"I originally wanted to persuade her to go back, but before I could catch up with her, I was driven back by a group of monsters. If you go in to look for her, just follow the path that has been trodden out, and you should be able to find her."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "With the general route and location, it will be much easier to find. Without further ado, I'll set off first."
It must be said that quite a few people come to this Wangfeng Mountain area; the grass on the ground has been trampled into a shallow path.
Following the path, Xu Ning quickly found the first teleportation anchor point.
After activating it, the path gradually becomes less obvious as you continue eastward.
After crossing a small waterfall, Xu Ning found a new path, but there were many Hilichurls here.
It seemed like they were setting up a camp nearby; everyone was busy.
Xu Ning ignored them, quickly passed through, and found the second teleportation anchor point.
By this time, the Wind Watch Point that Loga had mentioned could be clearly seen.
There, a tall watchtower is clearly visible.
Sure enough, Xu Ning found Fender looking out at the sea at the foot of the tower.
"Is the ocean really that beautiful? Is it worth making a special trip to such a far and dangerous place to see it?"
Fender was startled when he heard the voice, but he quickly lowered his guard when he saw Xu Ning.
"I never expected to meet adventurers in such a remote place! I'm not looking at the sea, I actually want to see a storm!"
