"Although I'm not from Mondstadt, I know quite a bit about the Church of Favonius in Mondstadt, or rather..."
"No one understands the Church of the Westwind better than me!"
Li Yue skillfully struck the gesture of the King of Knowledge and began to play the accordion.
"Oh? Li Yue, you actually know so much about the Church of the West Wind?"
Wendy was very curious.
“That’s right. Although the Church of Favonius was not founded by the wind god Barbatos, they are extremely devout in their faith in Barbatos. They control the faith in Mondstadt and they will attach great importance to the Sky Harp that Barbatos once used. If we go to the Cathedral of Favonius to borrow the Sky Harp, we will only be ruthlessly refused.”
Li Yue recounted the original plot where Wendy took the Grandpa to borrow the Sky Harp and what happened next.
"So how can we get the Sky Harp?"
"Of course we still need to borrow it!"
Li Yue pointed to herself with her thumb.
"I just went to borrow it!"
"what?"
Wendy scratched the back of her head, looking somewhat puzzled.
"Is this any different from what I said before?"
Diluc was also very curious and wanted to know how Li Yue's statement differed from Wendy's.
"Of course it's different!"
In front of Diluc and Wendy, Li Yue smiled mysteriously.
"Taking something without asking is stealing, but if you return it before the other person discovers it's been stolen, that's borrowing!"
Diluc was speechless for a moment. So you wanted to steal it!
"good idea!"
However, Wendy, who was standing next to her, immediately slammed her hand on the table in agreement.
"If you're going to borrow it, I suggest you go at night, because the guards at the Cathedral of the West will be off duty at night, and that's the safest time to go!"
"Understood. I'll make my move at 8 PM tonight. We'll meet here then!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you here!"
The two of them made a promise to each other right in front of Diluc.
Diluc's expression became even more distraught. It's one thing for Li Yue to be from Liyue, but why would a bard from Mondstadt agree with him? And why are you all so openly using my tavern as a gathering place?
25. The Night Hero is still camping.
In the end, Diluc did go to the Knights of Favonius, but he didn't go there to expose Wendy and Li Yue's behavior. Instead, he went to meet with Jean Grey, the Grand Master.
If Wendy's words are true, and if Li Yue really did steal the Sky Harp, then he has to take it seriously, especially since Wendy and Li Yue didn't hide their plans from him at all, clearly hoping that he would also be involved. It seems that these two know that he will definitely be involved.
After making a simple appointment with Qin to meet at his tavern at 8 p.m., he left the Knights of Favonius and headed straight for the Cathedral of Favonius. As the secret guardian of Mondstadt and possessing the title of "Hero of the Night," he had been secretly protecting Mondstadt at night. He wanted to see how Li Yue would steal the Sky Harp.
Although Diluc considered the Knights of Favonius's defenses to be utterly terrible, and the remaining Knights of Favonius were utterly useless, unable to do anything right and relying entirely on Jean and a few others to hold things up, it was still not something an ordinary person like Li Yue could easily break in and succeed in.
Diluc didn't sense any elemental power from Li Yue, nor did Li Yue have any Vision. Apart from a katana called Inazuma tied to his waist with a rope, he didn't have anything else. Therefore, Diluc was very curious to know what kind of power Li Yue, who appeared to be an ordinary person, was hiding.
As night fell, Diluc waited until the Knights of Favonius finished their shift before sneaking into the Cathedral of Favonius. To retrieve the Sky Harp, he had to enter the cathedral's basement through the internal staircase, where the Sky Harp was located.
At 8 p.m. sharp, Li Yue appeared outside the West Wind Cathedral.
Li Yue walked in a completely open and aboveboard manner, without any attempt to hide, so Diluc, who was hiding in the shadows, spotted Li Yue at a glance.
Did he just walk over like that?
Diluc stared at Li Yue with a puzzled look, then saw Li Yue go up and knock directly on the church door.
"Please wait."
The nun's voice came from inside the gate. Although the Knights of Favonius outside the gate had already gone off duty, there were still nuns from the Church of Favonius on night duty.
The moment the door opened, Li Yue leaped into the air and stopped mid-air. The church door was so high that the nun who opened it didn't even notice that there was someone above her. Taking advantage of the moment the door opened, Li Yue used Instant Step to disappear from his spot and enter the church. He used Instant Step repeatedly to cross the church's main hall and arrive at the basement. There were Favonius Knights guarding the basement, but these guards were meaningless to Li Yue. He used Instant Step repeatedly to quickly pass by the guards. The guards only felt a gust of wind and then found nothing.
After passing the guards, Li Yue went straight to the room where the Sky Harp was kept, picked it up with one hand, and then immediately drew the Yama Blade from his waist and made a swift, empty slash.
Space was severed, and a portal appeared. Li Yue jumped into the portal with the Sky Harp, and then the portal closed.
Li Yue completed this series of actions in less than ten seconds. After Li Yue's teleportation portal closed, the nun who had opened the main entrance of the West Wind Cathedral and saw no one there, closed the door in confusion.
"Did I hear wrongly?"
One of the heroes of the night, on the roof of the West Wind Cathedral, watched the nun close the door and continued to keep an eye on the various exits of the cathedral, waiting for Li Yue to come out.
"Yo! I'm back!"
Li Yue's teleportation portal can reliably open in places he has been, so Li Yue opened the portal on the second floor of the Angel's Gift Tavern.
Wendy, who had made an appointment with Li Yue, waited with Narcida on the second floor early in the morning.
Upon seeing Li Yue return, the two gods, who had been concealing their identities, ended their conversation and greeted Li Yue.
"Oh, my dear friend, welcome back."
"Welcome back, Li Yue."
Wendy extended her hands to Li Yue.
"Come and let me see the Sky Harp."
"You really believe I can get the Sky Harp?"
"Of course, my friend, didn't you get it?"
"Of course I got it."
Li Yue took out the Sky Harp hidden behind her back and handed it to Wendy.
"Yes, it's very well maintained!"
Wendy took the violin with both hands, examined it briefly, and nodded in satisfaction.
Li Yue seized the opportunity to speak.
"Are you kidding me, brother? This is something the Wind God once used. To the Church of the West Wind, it's a sacred object, and it's definitely kept at the highest level of care. How can it be compared to someone like you who looks so slovenly?"
"Um... my friend, you're right!"
Wendy was a little embarrassed, but he chose to give up.
"But unfortunately, due to its age, the Sky Harp has lost its vitality and needs to be infused with new energy to make it work again."
As she spoke, Wendy looked at Li Yue.
However, Li Yue frowned.
"Then what are you still doing here watching me? Hurry up and inject the new energy!"
"But I won't..."
"Then find someone who knows how to inject it. If you know who can inject new abilities, then go find them. Do I even need to tell you?"
"Forehead..."
Wendy was stunned by this turn of events. He had originally wanted Li Yue to run errands to find someone, but Li Yue had taken the initiative, leaving him unsure of what to say next.
"you're right!"
Helpless, Wendy took the Sky Harp and went to find someone.
He knew that some blond fool had Dvalin's Tears, which could be purified by the blond fool to give the Sky Harp new vitality. It was a pity that he had originally planned to stand here and drink while Li Yue ran errands, and even have Li Yue pay for the drinks. Now he had to go and run the errands himself.
Wendy took the Sky Harp and went out, but returned shortly after, followed by three people.
Jeanne, the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, along with the blond idiot who is the ultimate tool and Paimon, the emergency food.
On their way from the Knights of Favonius headquarters to the angel's gift, Jean encountered Luminosity and Paimon, who were being dragged to a tavern by Wendy, so the three of them came together.
For the new team members, Wendy told Dvalin's story again, and then had Luminous take out the Dvalin tears she had kept, purifying them into pure tears in front of everyone and embedding them in the Sky Harp.
The group, overjoyed, devised a plan to deal with Dvalin together the next day. They agreed to meet at the city gate of Mondstadt the following morning and then dispersed. Li Yue and Narcida replaced Diluc in the original group, while Diluc, the Night Elf hero, was still on the roof of Favonius Cathedral, intently watching the various exits, his mind filled with questions.
"Why don't you come out?"
26. Dvalin, don't speak recklessly.
At Star-Picking Cliff, the members of the East Wind Dragon strategy team gathered.
Compared to the team members from last night, there is one more member in the team today; Diluc has finally joined the team.
Lord Diluc waited at the Cathedral of Favonius for a full hour, but Li Yue didn't come out. So he went back to the tavern to check the situation. On the way, he met Captain Jean, who was returning to the Knights of Favonius headquarters. Captain Jean was wondering why she didn't meet Diluc in the tavern, since Diluc had invited her there. After some explanation, Diluc learned about Venti's plan and joined the raiding party with Jean the next morning. Venti was very happy to welcome Lord Diluc, and then the group went to Starfall Cliff together.
Starcliff, a cliff facing the sea in the eastern part of Mondstadt, is almost the highest point outside Mondstadt and also the place with the best sea view in the Mondstadt area. Young men and women in Mondstadt love this place, and young couples often risk coming here for dates.
"Wow, this place has such beautiful scenery."
Upon arriving at Star-Picking Cliff, God's Mouth was the first to express its feelings.
"It's really beautiful."
Li Yue nodded in agreement.
"The scenery is different and refreshing."
When Naxi Da, the little creature from Mount Sumeru, saw the sea for the first time, she also expressed her amazement.
"How about it? I think the location I chose is pretty good."
Wendy proudly put her hands on her hips.
"It matches the theme of 'Fate's Reunion' perfectly, doesn't it?"
"A Fateful Reunion" is the theme Wendy chose for her reunion with Dvalin.
"Then, it's time to get ready."
The troupe leader took a deep breath.
"Well, please."
“The entire city of Mondstadt has been burdened with too much during this period.”
Diluc glanced at Jean.
