At this time, in Mondstadt, Northland Bank.
To be honest, the bank in the land of Snezhnaya is indeed the most unique place on the Teyvat continent.
Thanks to the planning of the executive officers, the entire Teyvat continent is carefully mapped out.
This place is not just a branch of Northland Bank sent to Mondstadt by the Winter Kingdom; it is also the main business center of the Fatui in Mondstadt.
The whole operation feels like Mondstadt's version of the Central Statistics Bureau...
In front of her, Rosalyne looked at the Fatui counselors with a serious expression.
"What did you say?"
Rosalyne, the eighth seat among the executive officers of the Fatui, code-named "The Lady."
This time, as the representative sent by the Fatui to Mondstadt, she has only two objectives.
The first is to obtain the power of Dvalin!
Dvalin is the Stormterror. Because of the disappearance of the Anemo Archon, Barbatos, Dvalin was controlled by the Abyss Order and contaminated with the power of the Abyss.
So this time, they wanted to take advantage of Stormterror's threat to pressure the Knights of Favonius into handing over the entire defense map of Mondstadt.
For this reason, The Lady was specially sent to Mondstadt to take charge of this task.
The second important task is also the most significant mission among the executive officers of the Fatui: to obtain the Gnosis of the Anemo Archon, Barbatos.
This is the most crucial task for the entire executive team.
Before, Dottore had come to Mondstadt, but he failed.
And now, as the executive officer in charge of Mondstadt's affairs, Rosalyne had not been back for long, but something felt different about Mondstadt.
Strange.
"I don't know, but according to our investigation, it's an anime screening room near the Adventurer's Guild that caused the disturbance in Mondstadt."
"It is said that people have gained powerful abilities from it."
"They can use elemental power without the Vision!"
Anastasia reported, still puzzled.
"They can use elemental power without a Vision?" Rosalyne was shocked.
On the Teyvat continent, not everyone can use elemental power.
Only if one's strong desire catches the attention of the gods can they be granted a Vision.
Only those who possess a Vision can wield elemental power.
And in Snezhnaya, under the guidance of Her Majesty the Tsaritsa, the executive officers had studied the structure of the Vision.
They had eventually found a way to use elemental power without a Vision, known as the Delusion.
Each executive could wield the power of multiple elements. For instance, under the original Vision of the Pyro element, Rosalyne also possessed a Delusion that allowed her to use Cryo powers.
She could wield two completely different elemental powers simultaneously, which was also one of the main reasons she became an executive officer.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"According to our people's reports, there are indeed many adventurers who have obtained mysterious powers from that anime screening room!"
"Even Captain Jean of the Knights has visited that shop."
"She gained an ability called Wind Release."
"Many adventurers have been to that anime screening room, including our people. The owner of this store doesn't seem to be hostile towards the Fatui."
As she said this, Anastasia took out a paper bomb and handed it to The Lady.
Rosalyne took the paper bomb from Anastasia's hand, examining it with a puzzled expression.
"What is this?"
"My Lady, this is called a paper bomb, and it is a prop extracted from an anime called *Naruto*."
"A single paper bomb can produce the same power as the bouncing bombs wielded by Klee, the Spark Knight of the Knights of Favonius."
"Our people were fortunate to obtain twelve of these."
Anastasia explained.
A paper bomb? Extracted from anime?
Anime.
These two words appeared in Rosalyne's mind, but even as a Witch of Flames who had lived for hundreds of years, she had never heard of the word "anime."
However, she could clearly feel the unstable Pyro element in the paper bomb.
The power of this element and the lines carved on this special piece of paper formed what they now called a paper bomb.
As everyone knows, Pyro and Electro elements are the most unstable in nature.
To be able to control the Pyro element and contain it within such a small piece of paper without using any elemental power was remarkable.
To use it, you just needed to throw it.
This was simply a perfect tool for causing destruction and chaos!
"Is the owner of this shop from Mondstadt?"
Rosalyne held the paper bomb in her right hand, looking at Anastasia.
Anastasia shook her head before reporting the information she had gathered.
"No, My Lady."
"According to our understanding, Boss Takumi appears to be from Liyue. His way of doing business is quite similar to that of Liyue merchants."
Hearing this, Anastasia's excitement grew even more.
Rosalyne, after listening to Anastasia's report, quietly clenched the paper bomb in her hand.
