Jean's mind was indeed buzzing.
Ah, this…
What kind of experience is it to suddenly become the Anemo Archon?
In any case, it made her extremely conflicted.
She also discovered that her power was still connected to someone.
Following that sensation,
she saw Takumi looking at her with a smile on his face.
The moment she sensed the power within her body again,
how could she not understand?
This was obviously premeditated.
And Takumi had personally participated in it.
At this moment, Jean really wanted to talk to Takumi about what exactly was going on.
And Venti as well!!
But right now, she still had to deal with the people at the scene.
Thinking of this, she began to speak solemnly to the Mondstadt citizens present.
"Very surprising!"
"It caught me completely off guard."
"I want to properly talk to Lord Barbatos about this matter."
"I haven't even agreed yet!"
"So, for the time being, I cannot be this Anemo Archon."
Jean tried to reject the position of Anemo Archon.
However, no one cared.
Now you are the Anemo Archon.
No matter how Jean explained it on stage, the people below simply did not listen.
If they did not listen, they did not listen at all, chanting endlessly.
According to Jean's explanation, this was destined to be futile.
Because everyone in Teyvat already knew.
Mondstadt's second-generation Anemo Archon is called Jean!
This was already recognized by all of Teyvat.
After the Windblume Festival ended, a message was sent to Takumi.
Inviting him to speak with the Knights of Favonius.
Facing Jean's invitation, Takumi did not refuse.
He brought Ningguang, keqing, Shen He, and the others, opened a space passage, and directly arrived at Jean's side.
Seeing Takumi arrive, Jean asked in confusion:
"I want to know, how did things reach this point?"
"Why did Lord Barbatos suddenly abdicate?"
"And this power within the Gnosis!!"
Jean needed to figure all of this out.
At this moment, Jean had returned to her usual appearance.
But the power within her body was extremely overwhelming.
She urgently wanted answers.
Lisa was also present in the office.
She looked at Takumi with great curiosity as well.
Hearing Jean's questions, Takumi smiled and said:
"This was Barbatos's own decision."
"Teyvat is changing, and if things continued as they were, Mondstadt wouldn't be able to keep up."
"So he simply handed over the position of Anemo Archon to you."
"How Mondstadt develops in the future is now entirely up to you."
"That way, no one can stop you."
"Develop however you want."
"Anyone who opposes you can be easily suppressed, right?"
"Barbatos himself hasn't really fulfilled his duties as an Archon."
"That's why he decided to pass the seat of the Anemo Archon to you."
"And I only helped him resolve some concerns."
Hearing Takumi's explanation, Jean became even more confused.
"But isn't this too hasty?"
"The position of Anemo Archon was just handed to me like this?"
This was far too sudden.
She had not been prepared at all.
And then she suddenly became the Anemo Archon.
It was as overwhelming as it could get.
"Do you think you would have agreed if you had been told in advance?"
"Miss Lisa, what do you think?"
Hearing Takumi's words, Lisa smiled faintly.
"She wouldn't."
"If Jean had known beforehand,"
"she would have rejected it immediately."
What kind of person Jean is, doesn't Lisa know?
If Jean had been informed in advance, she would have refused without hesitation.
Therefore, cutting through the mess decisively was the best approach.
Jean fell completely silent.
Ningguang spoke up at this time.
"Actually, becoming the Anemo Archon is more beneficial for Mondstadt, isn't it?"
"Although your former Archon handed all authority to you,"
"many people may seem convinced on the surface."
"But!"
"some of the old factions might not truly think so."
"Now you are the successor appointed by Barbatos himself."
"No matter what those people think, it no longer matters."
"Because you are now the most powerful person in Mondstadt."
"Anything you want to do in the future will become much easier."
Ningguang was also very supportive of Jean becoming the Anemo Archon.
After becoming an Archon, many matters would indeed become simpler.
Whether it was developing Mondstadt or anything else,
everything would become far more convenient.
Just look at Takumi.
The Liyue Qixing would rarely object to Takumi's decisions.
After all, in the hearts of the people of Liyue,
Takumi was the successor personally recognized by Rex Lapis.
Jean's current situation was much the same.
She was Barbatos's successor.
Hearing this, Jean fell silent again.
For a moment, she did not know what to say.
The pressure was suddenly immense.
"Jean."
"Now that you are the new Anemo Archon,"
"there are some things I probably shouldn't say."
"But since you have become an Archon, it doesn't matter if I speak frankly."
"Although Mondstadt is developing fairly well now,"
"compared to other nations, it still lags far behind."
"It could even be said that its development is slow."
"As the first nation bordering Liyue, Mondstadt cooperates with Liyue in technology."
"But there are still very few things Mondstadt can produce on its own."
"As for the nations behind,"
"whether it's Inazuma or Sumeru, they have already caught up."
"Especially Inazuma."
"Because of the Sakoku Decree in the past, you know better than anyone how bad things once were."
"But look at it now."
"See how well Inazuma has developed."
"As for Sumeru, there's no need to mention it."
"Even nations like Fontaine and Natlan are catching up."
"Since you have become the Anemo Archon, then fully commit yourself."
"You cannot afford to fall behind."
Lisa spoke to her close friend very seriously.
Although her best friend had suddenly become a god, and she herself was a bit confused,
now that things had reached this point,
she felt it necessary to remind her.
Mondstadt needed bold development.
"Well said."
"I agree with Miss Lisa's words."
Takumi nodded.
He fully agreed.
Mondstadt truly lagged behind.
If it did not develop aggressively, it would be left behind entirely in the future.
Jean let out a soft sigh.
She looked at her hands.
"All right."
"I'll try to accept it."
Since things could no longer be changed,
she could only accept the fact that she had become a god.
Lisa was right.
She truly needed to reconsider Mondstadt's future.
Seeing Jean's expression, Lisa nodded with satisfaction.
"Come on."
"I'll help you."
Jean nodded.
She had made up her mind.
Now that she had become the Anemo Archon,
she must not disappoint the people of Mondstadt.
Recalling the expectant gazes of the citizens during the Windblume Festival,
Jean silently resolved to work hard for Mondstadt.
