Original God, but the real world

Chapter 33-The Storm is Rising
At night, I couldn't sleep.

Jiang Qing waited until late at night.

Today was an unpleasant conversation.

Jiang Qing roughly understood the situation, and bringing up the matter of [Kanruiya] in advance did make Ying more enthusiastic.

But precisely because she has a goal, she is unwilling to procrastinate any longer.

The only things that Mond valued were the records related to Kanriya and the God of Wind.

The former can be checked directly in the Knights' library, but the Knights have no control over the latter.

Ying can also cooperate with the Knights politely, but there is no need to become "one of them" directly.

【This does not affect the cooperation between the two parties. 】

Jiang Qing waited quietly.

[Even if he did not accept the so-called honorary knighthood, Ying still wanted to defeat Tevarin. ]

[So since she didn't mention the poet in the green cloak, she had to investigate it herself.]

"The dragon plague during this period is still Mondstadt's most difficult problem."

"And the one who appears most often with Tevarin is, of course, Barbatos, the god of wind."

So by now, Ying should have reacted.

Who was the person who was interrupted while trying to appease Fenglong that day and glared at them in the end?

That person is either the real Barbatos or the real messenger of the wind god.

After all, he is Tevarin... He has nothing to do with the God of Wind, so how dare he get involved?

"Ying didn't mention this news at all. It seems that he intends to find the incarnation of the God of Wind alone and then trade with him."

Jiang Qing seemed to be thinking about something.

"You didn't say it because you were worried that the Knights and the Wind God would join forces and kick her out directly?"

This doesn't make sense... If the God of Wind wanted to cooperate with the Knights, he wouldn't have to take any action at all.

Why did Ying keep this news secret? It makes no sense.

Jiang Qing was very distressed.

This doesn't matter to the overall situation, but it is a bit difficult to understand.

The night was darker.

Jiang Qing glanced at the clock and finally couldn't help but decide to go to bed.

He has been staying up longer, and whether it is to avoid suspicion or simply because he can't wait any longer, it's time for him to go to bed.

And it was after Jiang Qing fell asleep for a while that the Knights suddenly took action.

The sleeping beast was startled into action and quickly began to react.

The Knight of Favonius's reaction wasn't bad.

Although Farga took away the elite, those who stayed behind can only be said to have some gap with the elite, which does not mean they are garbage.

They blocked the city gates and set their sights on the Goethe Hotel.

There is no evidence, but if someone is causing trouble in Mondstadt but there is no evidence, then this person must be related to the Fatui.

Of course, others were also looking for a petite figure with golden hair.

Unfortunately, Diluk chose to cover up himself.

This former elite knight of the Knights of Favonius, now the head of the Leggenfind family and the owner of the Dawn Winery, had a cold attitude but gave a direction.

The Knights of Favonius who were tracking them down never considered that Diluk would actually deceive the Knights of Favonius.

They followed the clues given by the other party and finally disappeared completely.

The nun sitting on the roof of Jiang Qing's house blinked and couldn't help but hold her forehead.

She has been staying near Jiang Qing these days, and even took the time to borrow his notes.

This is obviously useless.

Jiang Qing would put his writing on the table every time he finished it. It seemed that he knew someone would come back to read it, so he did not cover it up at all.

Even a professional like Rosalia could only see that he was integrating and piecing together information.

But Rosalia also knew the information Jiang Qing had integrated, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Tsk..."

The nun sighed.

For Qin's request, she gave up her recent activities near the snowy mountains.

Unexpectedly, my home was robbed.

"Do these things have anything to do with you?" She rubbed her wrist, and there was some movement for a moment.

Compared to investigation, knight torture may be easier.

But Qin usually wouldn't agree.

This is also the reason why Jiang Qing is so calm and generous.

He revealed his city and his reputation, and Qin would not consider using such means to get answers from him.

It's not that I'm pedantic, but I can't set such a precedent.

Honor is similar to fame. It is a benefit that makes the public obey and strive for it. The core of its existence is the sense of identity from the bottom up and the empowerment from the top down.

It is a fragile thing, but it is the best weapon for those in power.

So it needs careful maintenance.

It's not worth it to risk your honor being stained with blood for the sake of Jiang Qing.

It's okay to torture the enemy, but torturing your own people who have no evidence and forcing them to answer, and using unjust means to achieve just goals, will only lead to worse results.

You can, but it's not worth it.

Jiang Qing always decided that unworthiness and impossibility were more credible than most promises.

The former is a trade-off of interests, while the latter is more reassuring.

Rosalia didn't care. Her identity and background made her not care about these things at all.

But she had no reason to go against Qin's request.

"I just didn't keep an eye on the church for a few days, and my house was robbed."

Rosalia looked toward the lights in the distance.

From the West Wind Cathedral, the light extended in a straight line and then dispersed in all directions from a certain point.

"Did the church decide that there wouldn't be any major chaos, so it didn't take action?"

The night wind blew, and Rosalia lowered her eyes, no longer observing the light.

Jiang Qing had a good sleep in bed.

It was not until the next day that he got the relevant answer from Amber.

It might be better to say that Amber came here specifically to inform him.

"Someone broke into the basement of the cathedral last night and stole the Sky Harp!" Amber waved her fists vigorously, and the rabbit ears on her head swayed. "Damn it! That is a sacred object for us Mond people! How could there be such a bad person!"

If she were really a little rabbit, her ears would probably be folded up.

Jiang Qing agreed: "It's really bad. Don't they have sacred objects of their own country? Why do they come to steal from others!"

Although no one was named, everyone was actually targeting the Fatui.

[The Sky Harp] is a sacred object left by the God of Wind, but it does not possess any special powers.

People revere and worship this ancient relic simply because it was once used by the god of wind.

But since the God of Wind held up the [Sky Harp] in his own hands, it should have some special power.

Unfortunately, the Knights did not discover it.

They had called out the holy object many times, but knew nothing of its power.

"Right, right!" The little rabbit nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Jiang Qing suddenly remembered something and simply extended an invitation, "How about it, Senior, do you mind going with me?"

"Ah...senior or something," Amber was a little embarrassed and waved her hands repeatedly.

She has a low resistance to respect. Although everyone in Mond knows this enthusiastic reconnaissance knight, she herself is not good at dealing with respect and praise.

If it is equal enthusiasm, she is very good at it.

Maybe it’s because I feel I’m not good enough, so when it comes to praise, I always feel like I haven’t done enough.

"Of course." Amber nodded, "But you have to ask me to treat you."

"Since you are a senior, you must take on the responsibilities of a senior."

She thought of Eula.

Eula hasn't been out recently.

If I don't go find her, she will be bored and drink alone.

Although swordsmanship training can be used to kill time, it is too boring after all.

So why not pull Eula over for a chat?
It's just to kill time.

"By the way, do you mind if I bring another friend along?" she asked casually.

Amber didn't know what Jiang Qing thought of Youla, nor did she know that Youla and Jiang Qing had already met.

She just realized Eula's situation from their last conversation.

Amber felt very guilty.

She always felt that she was Eula's best friend, and was helping Eula gain recognition from the people of Mond.

In fact, her efforts are worthless... Efforts without finding direction are just futile and fruitless.

There is no way to gain any recognition from the people of Mond, so let Eula make as many friends as possible.

Amber was just kind, but she didn't feel the need to be friends with a group of people who hated her.

[Eula didn't do anything wrong, how annoying! ]

She stared at Jiang Qing with some eager eyes.

So could Jiang Qing be the person who could become Eula's friend?

"Of course." Jiang Qing agreed immediately, "Since it was Senior Amber who invited me, I think the other party must be a warm and friendly person."

His smile was sincere: "It is my luck to meet such a person."

"I told you not to call me senior or anything like that... and you're warm and friendly. Yeah, you're really friendly." Amber nodded vigorously.

Tsk, it looks like Eula.

Amber has friends all over Mondstadt, and even in other countries. She can be called the leader of Mondstadt.

But to gather so many elements, it has to be Eula.

"Of course." Jiang Qing smiled gently, "I'm looking forward to it."

Anyway, as long as he can escape from this vortex, he doesn't care.

Amber's appearance means one thing, and Qin doesn't want him to be involved.

So Jiang Qing took the initiative to follow Amber away without any delay.

······
"So what are these two people thinking?"

At the Knights' headquarters, Kaeya stood in front of Jean.

"Or should I ask, what does Diluk think?"

In private, she can call the other party "senior" and speak up for Diluk's experience.

But let's just forget it for this occasion.

"How would I know?" Kaiya spread his hands, not panicking, "You also know that my relationship with him is not very good. We had a falling out because of something."

"Ying and another strange bard had tried to ask the nuns in the church for the Sky Harp before it was stolen."

"The identity of the bard has been investigated. His name is Wendy. He has become quite famous in Mondstadt recently and often performs under the statue of the god of wind."

"The audience around him praised his performance very much. If what they said was true, Wendy should be the best bard in Mondstadt this year."

Lisa held her chin with one hand and smiled faintly.

This job is pretty average.

Before stealing the [Sky Harp], he went to scout the location, and he did it openly.

It's okay for Ying.

Even though she does not have the title of honorary knight, she is recognized by the nuns as the messenger of the god of wind.

but···

"And our outstanding bard has made many statements about the God of Wind that are not correct and objective."

Lisa looked at Qin. "He said that the wind god is not as smart and wise as described in the poems. Instead, he is a lazy guy."

"The most important thing is that he claimed to be the God of Wind in front of the nun."

really interesting.

The messenger of the God of Wind was followed by a bard who claimed to be the God of Wind, and this bard had said disrespectful words to the God of Wind many times.

"If we didn't have this relationship, we would have met these two people in the Knights' prison now." Jean raised her eyebrows slightly. "Also, during the investigation, Diluk misled our Knights of Favonius and shielded these two people."

"What does he want to do?"

Claiming to be the wind god Barbatos... If this is a false story, Wendy probably won't have a chance to show up again.

If he is lucky, he will confess his mistakes in the church prison. If he is unlucky, he will have to meet the God of Wind to confess his mistakes.

"The messenger of the God of Wind is around, and Diluk chose to protect him...that's why you hesitated, Captain." Kaeya understood the whole story.

If this crime is confirmed, even Ying can't bear it.

Not to mention an ordinary bard.

"The Knights once owed Diluc, and I believe he will not betray Mondstadt." Jean nodded slightly, "But you should also know that my trust cannot represent the Knights."

What's more, Qin also needs an answer, an answer as to whether the other party is joking or serious.

Kaiya suddenly felt the situation was difficult.

There’s nothing wrong with communicating with Diluk, but the key is that bard, is he serious?
Lisa looked at the two of them with a smile that was full of fun.

"Since you are so hesitant, why don't you let Jiang Qing give it a try?" Lisa picked up the teacup, "He is more suitable than any of you to charge into battle, right?"

"There's no need for him to charge into battle for something like this." Qin waved her hand, "We can just handle it ourselves."

Subordinates are there to get things done, not to serve as slaves.

Jiang Qing couldn't bear to face Diluk and a man of questionable identity.

"How about we wait a little bit?" Kaeya said, "Based on my understanding of Diluk, if he has any news, he will most likely act alone."

"As for this matter concerning the God of Wind, even if he doesn't trust the Knights, he will not reject the acting leader."

"Isn't his reaction the answer we need?"

The righteous people in the dark night also need the recognition of those in power in the sun.

Everyone present was well aware of this identity, and Diluk couldn't hide it either.

“Everyone from the Knights,” Diluk knocked on the door, “Excuse me for disturbing you.”

He stood in front of the door, waiting for Qin's reaction.

"I won't get involved in this matter. I have an important alchemy experiment to do." Lisa put down the teacup.

"Ah, I remember now. I have an important cocktail party to attend." Kaia apologized deeply, "Thank you for your help, Captain."

Qin sighed slightly and her expression returned to calm.

Tsk, two slackers.
