Chapter 395: Dragonspine
"..."
Alice writing a letter to the Ausbilder?
...That actually did sound like her style.
But how did the two of them even know each other? And why would she write to someone like him?
"So, Miss Alice wrote to you, and that’s why you came to me?"
Jean gathered Anemo energy in her hand. Guided by the wind, the shattered glass pieces converged around her and fell neatly into a nearby trash bin.
Meanwhile, Bai Luo—the culprit—sat there carelessly, even lifting his feet cooperatively so she could clean up the glass beneath them.
"Not exactly looking for you. Alice wrote to me asking me to pass a message to her little sun. And if I’m looking for the Spark Knight, naturally I’d have to come to you first."
Hearing that Bai Luo’s target was Klee, Jean immediately became alert.
Klee was the joy of the Knights of Favonius, a child cherished by everyone.
There was no way she would let Bai Luo approach her so easily.
"I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. That child has gone out sketching in the wild with her guardian and won’t be returning anytime soon."
Normally, Klee going alone to Wolvendom wouldn’t be an issue.
But with the dragon crisis ahead and the Ausbilder behind, letting her wander freely could lead to trouble.
So Jean had her guardian take her somewhere unaffected by the crisis to stay for a while.
Looking at it now, that decision seemed wise.
"Oh, in Dragonspine, huh."
"???"
Jean was absolutely certain she hadn’t revealed any information.
So how did he say "Dragonspine" so confidently?
He was indeed known for his intelligence-gathering skills, but wasn’t this efficiency a bit too absurd?
"Thanks for the information, Acting Grand Master Jean. I’ll come chat with you again sometime."
Walking to the window, Bai Luo thoughtfully kicked away the sharp shards still stuck along the frame and prepared to jump out.
But just before leaving, he paused.
"Oh, and I wasn’t lying. Alice really did ask me to pass along a message to her little sun."
Perhaps he was trying to salvage his already terrible image—or maybe to keep Jean from worrying too much, he made a point to clarify this.
Whether that would actually ease her concerns or make things worse was another matter.
Although Bai Luo had been in Mondstadt for quite some time, he had rarely seen Klee.
Was she behaving herself?
Not at all.
Judging by the frequent explosions echoing through the city, the little girl never stayed idle for long.
But the Knights were clearly keeping her away from him, not even giving him a chance to "mark" her.
Given Bai Luo’s love for stirring up trouble, how could he possibly pass up such a legitimate opportunity to meet the little "sun"?
That said, he had at least met Klee a few times, and occasionally even encountered Fischl, the "Prinzessin der Verurteilung."
But there was one person he still hadn’t seen since arriving in Mondstadt—
Bennett.
Not only had he not seen him, he hadn’t even heard any news about him.
The only useful clue came from a commission at the Adventurers’ Guild:
Rescue a missing companion in an unknown ruin.
Hmm... according to his investigation, the only person who had gone missing in Mondstadt recently seemed to be Bennett.
Bennet is truly unlucky.
Then again, to go missing in some ruins while both the dragon crisis and Ausbilder were happening at the same time—that might actually count as a kind of luck.
After leaving the Knights of Favonius, Bai Luo went straight to find Anastasia.
"Dragonspine?"
Bai Luo had assumed that, as the person in charge of Mondstadt for the Fatui, she would have some understanding of the mountain.
But her reaction caught him off guard.
"Dragonspine... we do have personnel stationed there," Anastasia said.
"But they’re all elite members of the advance expeditionary forces, with their own chain of command. I have no authority to interfere."
Just as she explained, even though Anastasia herself possessed some combat ability—perhaps even stronger than some knights of Mondstadt—her role in Snezhnaya was that of a civil official.
Those advance troops, on the other hand, belonged to an elite combat system entirely separate from hers.
However, when she considered Bai Luo’s status, her tone shifted.
"But if it’s you, there won’t be any problem. After all, you are a Lord Harbinger."
The Harbingers stood at the very top of the Fatui’s power structure.
Each of them possessed extraordinary talent in their respective fields—like the Doctor in science, the Regrator in finance, the Rooster in politics, and the Ausbilder... in assassination.
"The person in charge on the mountain is named Vadim. He’s known for being ’valiant in battle.’ I’ll mark his location on the map, you can go directly to him when you arrive."
"Alright. If La Signora comes looking for me, just tell her I’ve gone to Dragonspine. I should be back soon."
"Yes, sir."
"And one more thing, this trip to the mountain might be dangerous. I won’t be bringing Jianna along. Take care of her for me."
"Understood."
After Anastasia marked the map for him, Bai Luo didn’t head straight for Dragonspine.
Instead, he went somewhere else first—
Angel’s Share.
Even from a distance, he could hear applause and cheers.
Outside the tavern, a group of drunkards had gathered, seemingly enjoying some kind of performance.
Along with the cheers came the sound of a lyre and a soft humming melody.
But something about it felt off.
It sounded like... the performer had something in their mouth?
Wait—what the hell?! Venti, calm down! If you’re broke, I can just have Diluc support you!
Pushing through the crowd, Bai Luo looked toward the center.
Sure enough, Venti seemed to have fully embraced the maid outfit Bai Luo had someone tailor for him.
Dressed in it, he held a lyre, a wine glass clenched between his teeth, performing the absurd trick of playing and humming while holding the glass.
And despite it all, even his simple humming carried a refreshing, almost soothing quality.
"Bard! Another song!"
A Knight of Favonius—clearly slacking off—stepped forward enthusiastically with his apple cider and poured it straight into the glass clenched in Venti’s mouth.
That only made him more energized.
While continuing to play and hum, he casually tilted his head back and drank the wine from the glass.
The most unbelievable part? His humming never faltered.
This stunt earned yet another round of applause.
Perhaps curious about how he pulled it off, more and more people began pouring drinks into the glass he held in his mouth.
This time, Barbatos was absolutely winning.
"...Tch."
Bai Luo’s expression shifted slightly.
Quietly slipping out of the crowd, he entered Angel’s Share.
When he came back out, he held a bottle of Dandelion Wine mixed with lemon and mint.
The Anemo Archon’s Drunken Dream—sweet. Want a taste?
