Chapter 65 The Bard of the Wind-Rising Land
"You two stop fooling around, Wendy. Tell me what you didn't finish saying earlier."
Seeing that the two were still arguing, Ying quickly came over and stopped them.
However, both Bai Qiyun and Wendy knew their limits and were just exchanging pleasantries.
Venti withdrew the surging wind elemental power from his body and stopped looking at Bai Qiyun. He brushed the fallen leaves off his body and thought about how to persuade this renowned honorary knight of Mondstadt to join him.
"Yes, you all know about what happened with Tvalin before. The details are roughly as described."
During their previous encounter in the plaza, Luminous showed Venti the corrupted teardrop crystal. The bard, astonished by Venti's abilities, decided after careful consideration to tell him about Dvalin, the Stormterror.
However, due to the presence of the scout knights beside the other party, he only took a small part of it.
His real purpose was to ask for the other party's help to purify the contaminated parts of Dvalin's body.
After all, he couldn't easily deal with that kind of power from the abyss, not to mention that he himself had suffered some damage after Ying interrupted his ritual with Dvalin.
Today, besides digging for wine, many people come to Fengqidi to quietly recuperate and cleanse themselves of pollution.
Who knew that we would run into that guy?
Wendy glanced at Bai Qiyun, who stood beside her, looking completely unconcerned.
"Therefore, I would like to ask the Knights of Honor to help cleanse Dvalin of his corruption. In that case, Dvalin will no longer cause dragon scourges, and the people of Mondstadt will be able to return to their peaceful and prosperous lives."
The usually carefree bard can be quite intimidating when he gets serious.
Moreover, what he said made a lot of sense, and Ying felt there was no problem in helping him.
After all, she had already promised the Knights of Favonius that she would help deal with the dragon scourge.
Since she's helped so many times at the temple, and now that there's a way to completely solve the problem, how could she possibly pretend she didn't see it?
"Yes, if I can help, that would be great. What exactly do you need me to do?"
The blonde girl touched her shoulder and performed a knightly salute, just like Kaeya.
"Well, I've actually come up with a plan. You've heard of the Cathedral of Favonius in Mondstadt, right? It houses the Sky Harp, one of the Four Winds. If I can play it, I'm sure I can summon Dvalin, and then you can take advantage of the situation..."
Before she finished speaking, Wendy's meaning was already clear.
The bard tilted his head, his eyes full of meaning, and looked just like a cat scheming against a mouse.
After reviewing the other party's plan, Ying nodded, finding it feasible.
"Then the question is, how are you going to borrow your so-called Four Winds Treasures?"
Yes, that's where the whole plan stalled. Wendy originally wanted to sneak in and steal it by himself, but now that he's injured, he'd better not make a move to avoid damaging his core.
Besides, there are plenty of able-bodied men here—no, I mean enthusiastic honor knights. If we just ask them properly, they'll definitely agree.
"I went to ask before. I originally wanted to borrow it as a bard to play a piece, but who knew that those inflexible nuns would refuse my request so harshly, saying something like, 'Without the Knights of Favonius's document, it is impossible to lend out the Sky Harp,' which is so unreasonable."
"If we were to lend it to an idle bard like you so casually, that would be a problem for the Church of the West Wind."
Bai Qiyun, who was listening to Wendy and Ying's conversation, made an inappropriate comment.
But Wendy pretended not to hear him and continued talking to herself.
"So I was thinking, could I find a quiet time when no one's around and...steal the Sky Harp from the church!"
"Sneak it out secretly?!"
Paimon was so shocked by Wendy's bold statement that he couldn't even speak properly.
"That's right, otherwise we wouldn't have any other way to get our hands on the Sky Harp."
The bard who made the illegal suggestion didn't think he had done anything wrong at all. Perhaps in his heart, the ownership of the so-called Sky Harp was questionable.
Do I need to go through procedures to retrieve my belongings?
"Therefore, the Knights of Favonius are poorly defended tonight, so perhaps we should—"
"no."
Interrupting Wendy's words, which sounded like a devil's whisper tempting one to commit a crime, Bai Qiyun looked at the guy with a bewildered expression.
Good heavens, he's full of bad intentions and even instigated others to commit crimes.
"Why isn't it working again?"
A somewhat helpless voice escaped from the bard's lips.
To be honest, he's never been able to handle this kind of dogmatic person. Every time he tries to get close to them, he always ends up getting a cold shoulder.
Although it's somewhat inappropriate, looking at the guy in front of him always reminds him of old friends he hasn't seen for many years.
"If you absolutely have to use that harp, why not just apply to the Knights of the Order? It's for the sake of everyone in Mondstadt anyway. Plus, with the Honor Knight vouching for you, the higher-ups of the Order can accompany you and it can also serve as a fighting force. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? Why steal it?"
As a normal person, Bai Qiyun felt that his logic was flawless, conforming to both procedures and interests, resulting in a win-win situation for both parties, and the Knights had no reason to refuse.
But after hearing his words, Wendy shook her head.
A helpless and bitter smile crept onto the bard's face.
"That's true, but if we submit a formal report, the people won't think that way. They'll just think the Knights are funding their enemies, and that could cause a commotion."
"Making a scene? But according to you, Stormterror was one of the original Four Winds Guardians. If the matter can be resolved satisfactorily, why would they cause a scene?"
From Bai Qiyun's perspective as an outsider, this was undoubtedly an act of handing over his own possessions.
"That's true, but... well, you'll know if you ask around. People always remember the bad things others do rather than the good things they do. Besides, Dvalin has been asleep for so many years. In the eyes of the Mondstadt people now, Dvalin is an enemy, not a friend."
Even the wind god, capable of blowing away ice and snow and maneuvering cliffs, cannot shake the hearts of men.
More terrifying than solid mountains are the prejudices in people's hearts.
"Oh, really?"
However, Bai Qiyun didn't care about these things. Having learned the essence of Bai family cuisine, he naturally knew what the so-called moderation and harmony really meant.
Given the current situation, it means that the underlying logic is sound.
For centuries, Dvalin's slumber has caused the people of present-day Mondstadt to forget the East Wind Dragon, thus leading to the conflict caused by the Dragon Plague.
So that means—
"The Knights and that wind god who has always remained hidden are the ones who bear the responsibility."
As an outsider, Bai Qiyun once again uttered outrageous remarks.
