The journey to Teyvat from the Abyss Mage

Chapter 75 Silence is Growth in Pain

Lisa fell silent after hearing what Albedo said. As a rare genius in the Xumi Academy, her wisdom was unquestionable. But her concern led to confusion. Her worry about Mondstadt and her inexplicable impulse made her come up with this dangerous and absurd farce.

What she said to Qin was what she really thought: even though she also liked Luo Mu, even though she felt extremely reluctant and guilty, she would still take action. Mond's interests were above everything else, and Lisa even put it above her own life and death.

All of this was what she thought of on that night when the blood flowed like a river. She didn't want to see such brutal slaughter again. She wanted to help Mond cut off all the unstable factors before the danger came again, even if it would make her deserted by her friends and relatives, she would never stop.

Jyn sighed. Lisa's idea was not an isolated one. There were many extreme ideas in the various public feedbacks recently sent in, hoping that Jyn could purge all the people and organizations in Mondstadt that were not completely affiliated with Mondstadt. It was normal for people to distrust and reject outsiders and organizations after the disaster, but Jyn knew clearly that she must not follow these voices. If she really did so, she would be digging her own grave for Mondstadt. Without the competition and mutual assistance of external forces, Mondstadt would become an isolated city, a solidified city without any vitality.

In order to ensure their own safety and stability, fools and hooligans often use dirty tricks to eliminate all competitors and uncertain factors.

"Lisa, you are wrong about this matter." Qin finally made a judgment: "When you have time, come with me to apologize to Luo Mu. Go back and think about how to calm his anger. Of course, the most important thing is to win back his heart."

"I understand." Lisa was unusually calm. She also realized that her emotions seemed to be too seriously affected by the events in the Wolf Territory, and her thoughts began to go to extremes.

Lisa stood up and said goodbye. She needed time to sort out her thoughts and ask herself and the city what it needed most.

"Captain Jean, I still feel that this matter is not right." After Lisa left, Albedo suddenly said to Jean.

"I think so too." Qin unexpectedly agreed with him immediately: "Lisa's condition today is... very strange. Even if she wanted to... eliminate Luo Mu, she wouldn't use such a rough method... but I don't know what's wrong."

Albedo nodded after thinking about it: "But no matter what, that... Luo Mu, we still encountered an unexpected disaster, I should go see him."

"Let's file the records of what happened on the snow mountain first. I asked you to come back secretly because I was afraid someone would notice. Now what..."

"Your Highness, are you... so attracted to that boy?" Yuan Shang looked at the young man beside him with a look of horror, and his tone seemed to be a little... jealous?

The young boy - Sora raised his eyebrows. He looked at the Knights of Favonius being destroyed by an unknown force with a smile on his face, but did not say anything.

"It was the Silent Demon who told you to use this method, right?" Yuanshang asked again after a while.

"Diakarabian?" Sora laughed sarcastically, "He doesn't have that brain."

"Luo Mu has always thought that he can eliminate the barriers brought by his identity as an Abyss Mage by trusting and being sincere. This is pure nonsense." Kong, who looked like a half-grown child, accused him in a mature manner: "If you want the Knights to sincerely accept him, you can't just persuade him. You have to take drastic measures."

Yuan Shang: "So you used the Abyss Magic to plant an emotional bomb in Lisa's mind, and detonated it today, so that the Knights and Luo Mu would fight?"

"You can't blame me for this," Kong chuckled, "If she hadn't already been wary of Luo Mu, I wouldn't have been able to stir up her negative emotions and thoughts even if I wanted to."

"The bond of trust is too fragile." Kong continued, "It is not as solid and reliable as guilt. After what happened today, even if the Knights suspect Luo Mu, they are too embarrassed to do anything to him for a while."

"And it can also ease the relationship between Luomu and the Knights a little bit, killing two birds with one stone!" Kong stroked his chin somewhat complacently.

Yuan Shang: "...Your Highness, you seem to be in a weird mood recently. Could it be that...you have been possessed by something?"

"Next time, please watch less of Inazuma's weird stories. Your brain won't work properly anymore."

"Your Highness, this is the setting of the novel from Liyue."

"……roll!"

…………

The Jellos family.

Luo Mu retreated to his favorite armchair by the window, with Ying and Paimon sitting beside him with concerned faces. Jellos was not at home because he had been called by Bennett to discuss something.

Mrs. Ferrin brought them a plate of crispy cookies, then took Wendy out of the living room, leaving the space for the two of them.

"Yeah, it's really sad." After listening to Luo Mu's brief account of what happened today, Ying sighed sadly: "It seems that Sister Lisa still cares about your identity."

"On the way back, I kept thinking about this question." Luo Mu's voice was very calm, as if he had gotten rid of his anger: "I shouldn't blame anyone."

"Isn't it natural to suspect an abyss wizard?" His voice gradually became lower, but his expression became more and more sad.

Luo Mu was not angry now. He just felt sad and tired, and inexplicably wanted to laugh.

"Hey, Luo Mu," Paimon flew to Luo Mu's side, stretched out his little hand and patted his head: "Don't be sad, even though you are an abyss mage, don't we still have you? And Bennett, Amber, Fischl, we are all your friends!"

Friends?... Luo Mu smiled weakly. He put his hand on Paimon's round little head, feeling the slight tingling sensation of the soft hair passing through his fingers.

Paimon looked a little unnatural, but he didn't avoid it.

"It would be great if everyone was as smart as little Paimon." The feeling of rubbing a cat between his fingers made Luo Mu's heart calm down a little. He suddenly envied Ying. With such a little guy by his side, he would never lose hope no matter how difficult the journey was.

Besides running very fast during a fight...

As he thought about it, Luo Mu smiled for no reason.

"Xiao Luo, you..." When Ying saw the delicate boy in front of her suddenly smile, she actually felt a hint of inexplicable chill.

"You know what? I've never been someone who longs for trust." Luo Mu murmured, as if he was talking to Ying, but also as if he was talking to himself: "I don't know what it feels like to be trusted or doubted, so... my reaction today may be a bit extreme."

"I love this world, and I love everyone in this world. I once hoped that they would love me as much as I love them. But I realized that this is just wishful thinking."

"Don't worry, Xiaoluo, I believe Sister Lisa will understand." Hearing Luo Mu's slightly discouraged words, Ying became anxious. She leaned forward, as if she wanted to grab Luo Mu's hand, but at the last moment she controlled her emotions and pulled back her outstretched hand.

"It's okay, I'm not worried." Luo Mu responded with a smile: "I know this world doesn't trust me, but so what?"

"I will still love this world and protect the people I love!"

Who says that hard work will be recognized by others? So what if they are not recognized?

The world is full of malice, but I am still willing to embrace kindness.
