"The Harp of the Sky..."
Diluc seemed a little embarrassed, and then looked at Wendy and Sparkle.
"That's right. So, Lord Diluc is also going to join the operation to save Dvalin?"
"..."
"I'll take care of the Sky Harp. You can wait for me inside [Angel's Gift]."
"Dilco is so generous!"
Wendy was naturally overjoyed; he was still thinking about how to get the Sky Harp or steal it.
Chapter 270 Insincere Attitude and Ignorance of All Questions
With Diluc acting as guarantor, Jean, the leader of the Knights of the Sky, was found. After explaining the situation, Jean immediately approved the documents and then personally brought the Sky Harp to the tavern.
The team to rescue Dvalin is now complete.
Because the Abyss Order was forced to abandon its mission, Dvalin was not manipulated by the Abyss Mage into losing his mind, but instead cooperated with Wendy's performance, so the mission to the other temples never took place.
Ultimately, in several battles, Luminous successfully used her elemental power to shatter the poisonous spikes formed from Dvalin's venomous blood in the Wind Dragon Ruins, thus purifying the area.
At the end of the event, Luminous, Wendy, and Dvalin—one human, one god, and one dragon—arrived at the great tree in the Land of the Rising Wind.
The group did not return to the Cathedral of Favonius, nor did they encounter any Fools. After all, the Knights of Favonius had greatly increased in strength and were no longer susceptible to the Fools' aggressive diplomacy.
Moreover, the Heart of Anemo is no longer in Venti's possession, and even the lady responsible for obtaining it has vanished without a trace, leaving the Fatui with no motive to commit the crime.
Since the Sky Harp was borrowed by Jean, it was naturally taken back by her as well. Therefore, Jean and Diluc returned to Mondstadt ahead of time.
For Diluc, although the idea that his god was a drunkard might sound a bit shocking, considering that Mondstadt is in such a mess, it doesn't seem so outrageous that his god is a bit eccentric either.
At least, he did contribute something when Stormterror attacked Mondstadt.
He was decisive on important matters, which was enough, and it slightly changed Diluc's impression of Barbatos.
Although next time I come to his tavern, at least he still won't sell me any alcohol while he's there.
He didn't know why, even though he knew Wendy's real age might be several thousand years old and that she wouldn't get drunk if she wanted to, he just didn't want to sell.
Human senses are truly amazing.
As for Jean, the gods of Mondstadt have been missing for a long time. The Knights of Favonius manage all affairs in Mondstadt and do a pretty good job. The people of Mondstadt have gotten used to this normalcy. Venti has no intention of returning to his godhood, so it's good to keep it a secret and pretend not to know, maintaining the status quo.
Knowing that Wendy is the wind god Barbatos they revere, they realize that he hasn't changed much from before, except that he can call for help in times of crisis.
However, if something really serious happens, like the Stormterror attacking Mondstadt, it's not considered too critical, and Venti doesn't stand idly by.
So there's not much difference.
At this moment, under the big tree where the wind rises, Wendy is revealing some information to Ying, or rather, answering Ying's question.
They did provide Ying with a lot of information about groups like the Fools and the Abyss Order, especially the Abyss Order, which was described as "enemies of surface civilization."
However, Wendy successfully used her traditional skill to bluff her way out of the news about some unfamiliar god and Ying's brother.
In short, the main point is that the person is insincere and knows nothing when asked.
Wendy: This is a topic that should never be touched.jpg
However, unlike before, Wendy didn't completely get away with being cute.
"The Liyue Summoning Ceremony will begin in a few months. You can meet Morax, the Geo Archon of Liyue, at the ceremony. He is the oldest and most powerful god among the Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm. Perhaps he will know something you want to know."
"And Inazuma, although some changes have occurred recently and the god of thunder was forced to step down, the newly appointed human leader, like you, is also very special and mysterious. Moreover, he knows many untold stories~ Perhaps, there will be clues about your brother?"
These two sentences successfully rekindled Ying's interest after she had been rebuffed by Wendy.
You see, even though the drunkard who was singing for money knew nothing, he at least pointed out some clues and gave me a hint as to who might know.
"I understand, thank you."
Ying sincerely thanked Wendy.
"Hey~"
Wendy gave a simple, honest smile.
Paimon, who had heard "hey" countless times during the Q&A, couldn't hold back any longer: "Here comes another street performer. He always uses 'hey' to get by in serious situations. I think you could have another nasty nickname, like 'Hey Monster'."
"Hey, not bad!"
Ying and Paimon were at a loss for what to do and could only sigh in despair.
"You guys go back to the city first. I want to stay here with Tvalin a little longer."
Seeing that Ying had no further questions, Wendy prepared to part ways with the two of them for the time being.
Ying nodded and led Paimon toward Mondstadt.
It's been a long time since the god and the dragon have met, and after going through so much, they must have a lot to say to each other.
At this time, they should be given enough privacy.
"Traveler!"
Wendy's voice, now quite serious, came from behind Luminous, causing Luminous and Paimon to turn around curiously.
"On your journey, you will surely see many beautiful sights and witness countless people and events, but never forget the meaning of the journey itself. Everything along the way is a unique and precious memory."
It was rare to see Wendy speak in such a formal manner, and Ying was momentarily taken aback.
Seeing Wendy's serious expression, Ying couldn't help but take it seriously as well, nodding emphatically in response, "I will."
Wendy's statement is quite correct, isn't it?
"Hey, besides, there are quite a few fun places in Mondstadt. Why don't we take some time to explore Mondstadt and experience its local customs and culture?"
Ying and Paimon immediately adopted a helpless expression.
That's it again.
The atmosphere had been built up to this point, and a single "heh" ruined it all.
And so you're saying all this just to promote Mondstadt's scenery?
Give me back my gratitude!
Ying and Paimon exchanged a glance, then decisively turned and left.
"Hey, hey, don't go! What about your commission fee? Don't you want it?"
Upon hearing that there was a reward, the two immediately stopped and turned around, their eyes shining as they looked at Wendy.
"Here, there are five million Hong Kong dollars in the card, which is about five hundred million Mora. That should be enough for your expenses for the next period of time, right? Consider it payment for curing Dvalin."
Venti took out Liyue Bank's bank card and handed it to Luminous; the golden card almost blinded Paimon in the sunlight.
The enormous sum of money made Paimon feel a little embarrassed, and he said, "Wow! You're being too generous! Actually, we're all friends, and helping Dvalin regain his senses is something we should do..."
"Hehe, it's from Inazuma's side. I can't use it all anyway, so I'll just take it."
Chapter 271 The Wonderful Uses of Abstract Art
Ying and Paimon declined at first, but eventually accepted it.
After returning to Mondstadt, the two of them indulged in a feast for several days.
Following this was the release of specific details and the full picture of the case, as well as the sword-presentation ceremony of the Knights of Favonius.
Last time, the title of Honorary Knight was awarded for driving away Stormterror. This time, for saving East Wind Dragon, the Knights of Favonius and the Church of Favonius approved the process in the fastest time in history and decided to award the Honorary Knight a Favonius sword.
Although this thing isn't as valuable as it used to be, it's still a symbol of honor for the Knights of Favonius.
The honorary knights of the Knights of Favonius are also Knights of Favonius!
Given such a tremendous and dazzling achievement, it must be so!
Inside the West Wind Cathedral, the backdrop was still the striking red banner with white lettering, which they had learned from Inazuma. The wording was concise and clear, and the two of them were wearing large red flowers.
On the stage, Ying held the sword of Favonius, and Paimon clutched the prize money given to him by the Knights of Favonius. Both of them had simple and cheerful smiles on their faces, laughing foolishly.
I must say, this ritual may be rustic, but it's actually quite practical!
The person being rewarded truly feels it; it's genuinely heartwarming!
This damn sense of honor is intoxicating.
The reporters below the stage kept snapping photos non-stop, with some using old-fashioned cameras flashing their lights incessantly.
First, they drove Stormterror away from Mondstadt, then they removed the pollution and influence of the Abyss, successfully rescuing Stormterror and making him one of the Four Winds of Mondstadt, the Dragon of the East Wind. A number of media outlets, led by Steambird News, wrote extensively about this based on the documents released by the Knights of Favonius.
Ying's outstanding combat power and unique characteristics made her the focus of the Teyvats.
Now, the title of Honorary Knight of the Glow was truly secured, and its fame spread far and wide.
The photos of the two men laughing foolishly on stage, along with the red banner with white lettering indicating the occasion behind them, quickly became headlines in major newspapers.
Inazuma's side was no exception; they received the same message.
"I have to say, the protagonist is the protagonist. He regained his strength by touching the statue at the beginning, and before even entering the city, he encountered the Wind Demon Dragon as an experience pack. In just a few days, he successfully solved the problem that even the gods were troubled by, and not only did he become famous throughout the world, but he also made a number of big shots owe him a favor."
Inside the castle tower, Jiang Ming was alone, venting his frustrations about the new newspaper.
Look at the traveler, then look at him.
He started out by accepting charity and setting up a stall, but was extorted for half a year, starving himself to the point of losing 30 pounds, and was forced to embark on the path of rebellion.
Then they proceeded cautiously, afraid of alerting the general, until the moment they received the big shot's aid felt like a dream.
However, Jiang Ming only made a few remarks.
Looking back on the path I've walked now, all I feel is endless感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep emotion/reflection).
All I can think about is "what if" or "what if" things had been different.
While he admired the Traveler, the Traveler was a genuine Descendant, a traveler who had traversed countless worlds, and had even gone toe-to-toe with the Sustainer. Despite having some of his power sealed, he could barely defeat the existence of the Thunder Movie through special training and the blessing of his will. This was on a completely different level from him.
He does have that much self-awareness.
These things are commonplace to others, but for him, who was just an ordinary person who transmigrated here, getting to where he is now is something he never dared to dream of back then.
However, according to the newspaper, Yingmei has received the West Wind Sword from the Knights.
