At the scene, Ying stood there dumbfounded, her eyes wide open, completely at a loss.

Ying is now truly on the verge of tears.

If she had known it would turn out like this, if she had known her wind elemental power would get out of control, she wouldn't have joined in.

Now look what happened! The Stormterror that was sealed away was released as soon as it arrived. How do you explain this?

Would anyone believe her if she said she didn't do it?

Will the Knights of Favonius issue a warrant for her arrest soon?

I don't think I'll end up in prison right after my life as a homeless person.

No… Director Qin, you have to be my witness! I didn’t do anything! I’m standing right here, it just malfunctioned on its own!

Behind them were the Knights of Favonius, including Jean, who also stared wide-eyed and slightly agape.

No one expected this outcome. For a moment, no one could react until the Wind Demon Dragon turned its gaze to the crowd, at which point everyone came to their senses.

"Don't just stand there, catch it!"

Kaeya's voice sounded from behind. Ying subconsciously caught the flying object and looked closely; it was a West Wind Sword.

Since Mondstadt began its industrialization process, the production of the Favonius series weapons, which were originally quite precious and required approval from both the Grand Master of the Knights and the Church before they could be issued, has increased significantly and they are no longer so scarce.

Each of the more outstanding knights in the Knights of Favonius can be equipped with one, so Kaeya, the cavalry captain, no longer needs to use the Cold Blade.

Ying's first impression upon receiving the sword was that it complemented her wind elemental power perfectly.

At this moment, Ying and the rest of the Knights were ready, drawing their weapons and watching Dvalin warily.

Dvalin let out a disdainful snort from his nostrils, making a "humph" sound.

The sudden gust of air forced Paimon to yell and grab Ying's hair tightly to avoid being blown away. Ying, in pain, slapped Paimon again, then rubbed her own head.

Thank goodness I'm not bald!

After knocking Paimon off his head, Luminous continued to stand facing Dvalin with her sword raised.

The Knights of Favonius, on high alert: "..."

Seeing this, Tvalin became even more disdainful, no longer taking them seriously at all.

The Knights of Favonius are truly getting worse with each generation.

"Dvalin, the Dragon of the East, you were once one of the Four Winds Guardians of Mondstadt, we have no reason to..."

Qin stepped forward and tried to communicate with Tvalin, attempting to understand his intentions by starting with historical connections and striving to avoid conflict.

After all, it was once the guardian of the four winds of Mondstadt, and made great contributions to protecting the people of Mondstadt.

However, Dvalin, who was currently suffering from neurasthenia due to the poison sting and whose temperament had become irritable, had no interest in communicating with the Knights.

It didn't even glance at them before flying away from where it was.

As everyone watched Tvalin's departing figure, they sensed something was wrong.

"Oh no, that's the direction of Mondstadt! Quickly warn the knights in the city to be on guard, we need to go back immediately."

"Commander, the elemental radar has locked onto the target. We can fire. Should we... not fire?"

The Knights of Favonius didn't just deploy a few people here; they deployed an entire army.

Including a large amount of anti-aircraft equipment, which can even cover the skies above Mondstadt, they can open fire. Even if they can't destroy it, they can at least harass the Stormterror and force it away from Mondstadt.

However, as time went on, they successfully learned from records and intelligence gathered from all over the world that the so-called Stormterror was actually the former East Wind Dragon, Dvalin.

Wounded and corrupted in battle with the dragon Durin, it suffered prolonged pain and was forced into a deep slumber until recently when it inexplicably attacked Mondstadt.

After this conclusion was confirmed, although it has not been made public yet, the Knights of Favonius are already in a difficult situation.

Using deadly force against one of the Four Winds Guardians, a member of the Anemo Archon's Familiar, who was wounded while protecting Mondstadt and suffered years of pain and torment, and whose current state is unknown, is tantamount to using treads to stick to an old soldier or even an old general.

This responsibility was too heavy, and the impact too significant. Even Qin had to consider it carefully and couldn't make up her mind for a long time.

This time, in particular, Tvalin did not attack them directly, which seemed to suggest that there was still hope for communication.

"It's better to wait."

Qin hesitated for a moment, but still did not give the order to fire.

Mondstadt also has state-of-the-art defenses to protect its security, and there is still plenty of time and space for them to observe further.

The group hurriedly packed their gear and prepared to get on the vehicle to head to Mondstadt. Only after they came to their senses did they have time to look at Ying, who still had a silly look on her face.

Previously, we were united against external forces, but now...

Kaeya silently took back the Zephyr sword from Luminous's hand. Many of the Knights of Favonius, some holding swords and others lances, were all watching Luminous with tacit understanding.

Fluorescence: O_o

So, she's really going to jail?

Paimon felt a little uneasy under the gazes of the Knights of Favonius, and silently tugged at Ying's clothes: "Traveler..."

“Oh, don’t scare them. The traveler went forward with my permission, and every step she took was under our watchful eyes. She really didn’t do anything extra. This was probably an accident.”

At the critical moment, Qin stepped forward to help Ying out of the predicament.

She watched Ying's movements the whole time and was also able to sense some elemental fluctuations in the scene.

The elemental energy of Ying was attracted there, and when it went out of control, the bewildered expression on Ying's face and her desperate attempts to stop it didn't seem fake.

With the guarantee from the leader of the troupe, everyone began to look away, which undoubtedly relieved both Ying and Paimon.

Great! I don't have to eat prison food in a dark and damp prison anymore!

The ensemble leader is a good person!

Ying thought about it for a while, and although it was inexplicable, she always felt that the breaking of the seal was inseparable from her.

Feeling that she should take some responsibility, Ying took the initiative to ask Qin, "Let us go too. Although I don't know how the seal on the Wind Demon Dragon was broken, I should still do my part to help."

"Alright, let's all come up together then."

Bringing Ying along to Mondstadt would suit her perfectly.

Inazuma is still looking for someone. Speaking of which, I should let Inazuma know and ask them what their plans are next.

Moreover, after all, he is a magical figure who broke the seal with just a brief approach; perhaps he does indeed have a way to appease Dvalin?

They really don't want to fight if a peaceful resolution is possible.

After all, Dvalin had just too many buffs stacked on him.

After quickly packing their things, the group headed towards Mondstadt.

Chapter 267 Newbie Skipping the Tutorial.jpg

The "Gift of the Angels" tavern in Mondstadt.

Wendy, who was completely drunk, suddenly sobered up and jumped up from her seat with a bang.

The loud noise immediately drew Diluc's attention to Wendy as he entered the tavern.

That familiar young, drunken poet.

Is this sudden, dramatic outburst a sign of drunkenness?

"Who let him in? Don't you know that minors can't drink alcohol?"

"Uh... he said he's an adult."

"..."

When Diluc questioned the bartender, Wendy's drunken state vanished instantly, and her expression immediately turned grim.

Shock and anger flashed across Wendy's face.

He felt it.

The seal he had set up was inexplicably broken.

how could it be possible!

He created this seal himself, so how could anyone know how to break it?

Even if Dvalin went all out to break the seal by force, it would take him quite a bit of effort. How could he not have sensed such a massive elemental fluctuation?

So what happened in Tvalinna?

Wendy was just about to use the wind to sense the situation when the wind brought Dvalin's angry roar: "Barbatos, get down to business!"

In an instant, a few beads of cold sweat slid down Wendy's forehead.

Tvalin, Tvalin, it's not that I've forgotten you, it's just that I'm incapable of solving your problem.

No, that's not it. The most urgent matter is Tvalin.

Dvalin is heading straight for Mondstadt!

Wendy was genuinely worried that Dvalin might go completely insane, and things could get out of control if things went wrong.

"Lord Diluc, you two continue your conversation. I suddenly have something urgent to attend to."

Wendy jumped up in a flurry and rushed out of the tavern.

Diluc and the bartender were left staring at each other in bewilderment.

The bartender paused for a moment, glanced at Wendy's previous seat, then at the direction Wendy had left in, and asked with a puzzled look, "Wasn't he... drunk?"

Diluc crossed his arms and stared in the direction Wendy had left, without replying.

Over the years, he has seen a lot, and his previous drunken state did not seem like an act.

But after standing up, he quickly became perfectly fine, incredibly clear-headed, and rushed out in a flurry of activity.

It seems this drunken poet has quite a few secrets.

However, he wasn't interested in other people's personal privacy; he was more curious about why this drunken poet was in such a hurry—was he in some kind of trouble?

Although he himself is quite troublesome, he has at least become a familiar face. If he really encounters a difficult situation, it wouldn't be a bad thing to lend a hand in an emergency.

"You can continue operating, I'll go take a look."
