"You know, you must have a reason for waiting here, right? State your conditions."

Wu Qiu believes that Rosalia is waiting here to negotiate. After all, this kind of thing is normal, and many plots unfold this way.

First, they outwardly oppose the protagonist, but when the time is right, they stop, state their conditions, and reach an agreement with the protagonist.

However, Rosalia merely smiled slightly after hearing Wu Qiu's words. Then, she tapped the halberd on the ground, and a ring of ice exploded, instantly lowering the temperature.

Ice spikes suddenly appeared out of nowhere and hurtled towards Wu Qiu. Caught off guard by this sudden attack, Wu Qiu yelled, "Holy crap!"

She leaped to her feet, but it was too late; just as one of the ice spikes was about to pierce Wu Qiu, Ying flashed to Wu Qiu's side. With a sweep of her hand, a wisp of cyan wind element swept past, successfully saving Wu Qiu.

The force generated by the collision of elements is enormous. Wu Qiu and the others had barely steadied themselves when Rosalia leaped forward, her halberd flashing with cold light as she mercilessly swept across them.

With a loud bang, Ying's wind trail collided with the halberd, unleashing bursts of elemental power. Wu Qiu and Ying were both sent flying backward, finally crashing into the gate.

The good news was that they were unharmed; the bad news was that there was noise outside, and the commotion here had eventually caught the attention of the Knights of Favonius.

Chapter 133: Swinging the Greatsword

"Oh no! We've been spotted! Run!"

Wu Qiu could tell that Rosalia was out of her mind and definitely wouldn't be giving them the Sky Harp today. Frustrated, Wu Qiu didn't know why, since he hadn't done anything to offend her.

But there was no time. Pulling Ying along, Wu Qiu turned and kicked open the door. It was a loud bang! The door opened instantly.

Just outside the door, they encountered the Knights of Favonius who had approached. Upon seeing Wu Qiu, they shouted, "Who are you! What are you doing here!"

"Get lost!" Wu Qiu didn't stop. He stood up and delivered a flying kick to the knight in front of him, sending him flying.

Behind them, the dozen or so Knights of Favonius had already caught up. The group could only run in the other direction, but thankfully, Rosalia, for some reason, didn't catch up, which relieved them all.

"What do we do now?"

Paimon asked. Wu Qiu shouted without hesitation, "What else can we do? Forget about the zither, let's go out first."

No sooner had they finished speaking than a group of people appeared at the end of the corridor. They were all clad in armor and wielding swords, and they charged towards them.

Ying instinctively reached for her sword, but Wu Qiu grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't use elemental attacks or wind marks, that will give you away."

Wu Qiu and Ying's abilities are well-known in Mondstadt, so whether it's Frozen Eternity, Wind Trace, or Wind Element, they should avoid using them to prevent exposure.

"Are we going to fight them bare-handed?" Paimon asked worriedly, looking at the dozen or so people rushing towards them. Wu Qiu shook his head at this moment, "Of course not."

"Fengzai, get a weapon."

Wu Xiang Feng Zai already knew Wu Qiu's idea, so he curled up into a ball right under everyone's noses, his body slowly growing larger, and then a large sword slowly formed.

"I told you to turn it into a one-handed sword, so you'd better get me Wolf's Gravestone!"

Wu Qiu slapped Wu Xiang Feng Zai right on the head. Perhaps Wu Qiu had changed his ways last time, because this time Wu Xiang Feng Zai immediately pulled out a handful of wolf's wool.

That won't do. Even though it's not a real wolf's tail, it's still inappropriate to use a firefly to represent a wolf's tail.

Why did you hit me! You didn't say anything!

Wu Xiang Feng Zai was very dissatisfied. But to Wu Qiu's surprise, Ying's eyes lit up and she reached out and grabbed Lang Mo's sword hilt.

"This weapon is pretty good. In places like this, it's easy to clear a path by swinging it."

As Ying spoke, the corners of her mouth turned up, and then, the scene became bizarre.

Ying directly clashed with the dozen or so Knights of Favonius. Then, she unleashed a barrage of flashy moves—horizontal slashes, vertical slashes, spinning slashes, leaping slashes—she was even more Diluc-like than Diluc himself.

Wu Qiu followed behind, watching the Favonius Knights being tossed around in a hail of bullets. He felt like the sky was about to fall. Can you even imagine it? Just picture it for yourself—Glowing in the Wind, Wolf's Graveyard, wreaking havoc everywhere. It's just too damn bizarre.

Along the way, Ying hacked her way from one end of the road to the other. When they finally reached the exit, Ying still looked at Wu Xiang Feng Zai, who had returned to his original form, with a sense of unfinished business.

"This weapon is really amazing! I..."

Before Ying could finish speaking, Wu Qiu stepped forward and interrupted her, "Sister Ying, Sister Ying, don't go off-topic, please don't go off-topic. You need to be reserved. A one-handed sword is more suitable for you. You're wielding a big sword, oh my god."

"Now, forget about that damn Wolf's End from earlier. You need to return to your roots and not go astray. That greatsword isn't for you."

Wu Qiu frantically guided him, and the thought of possibly seeing a Ying wielding a greatsword in the future made him tremble.

It wasn't that he wouldn't allow it, but it was obvious that Ying only felt good swinging a greatsword, but if she wanted to fully unleash her combat power, a one-handed sword was the most suitable.

Therefore, Wu Qiu had to stop her; Wu Qiu couldn't let Ying's concept of weapons become distorted for no reason.

"Oh, I know, I'm not stupid."

Ying patted Wu Qiu's head and spoke with a grin. Clearly, she had enjoyed the fight with the wolf's tail earlier and was in a good mood.

"Quick, quick! Over here!"

Suddenly, another sound came from below. Ying quickly pulled Wu Qiu and led the others out. This time, they didn't need to climb over the wall; they went directly out the main gate from underground.

The Knights of Favonius chased after them. But Wu Qiu and his companions had already reached the door, pushed it open, and ran out.

Outside, Wendy sat on a high place admiring the night view. Suddenly, she felt a commotion behind her and saw Wu Qiu and the others scrambling out.

"Hey! Run! Hey! Run!!!"

Seeing this, Wendy jumped down from the height and looked at the pursuers behind her, asking expectantly, "How did it go? Did you succeed?"

Wu Qiu shook his head. "No, now is not the time to talk about that. Let's shake off the pursuers first."

As he spoke, Wu Qiu looked at the others and said, "Let's go to the Angel's Gift Tavern."

"Oh! That's exactly what I was thinking. We really do have a great understanding."

Wendy asked in surprise, but Wu Qiu ignored him. They had originally planned to use the Wings of Wind upon reaching this higher position, but that wasn't necessary here.

Once again, Wu Xiang Feng Zai acted as the frisbee, carrying everyone into the sky and heading towards the Angel's Gift Tavern.

However, it's clear that this communication won't be so easy. With such a big commotion, the Knights must already know about it and will send people over.

On the ground, Wu Qiu could already see many Favonius Knights chasing after them. Not only that, Wu Qiu also saw a red figure in the distance.

The man held a bow and arrow, drew it taut, and a flash of light illuminated the darkness. "Holy crap! It's Amber!"

The thought had barely formed when a beam of fire shot towards them. In mid-air, the firelight instantly dispersed, forming a rain of fiery arrows.

"Aren't you afraid of hurting innocent people by playing like this?!"

Just as the rain of arrows was about to reach their faces, Wuxiang Fengzai raised a shield at the crucial moment. This shield, composed of wind, completely protected everyone within it.

Of course, this shield didn't directly block Amber's attack; instead, it created a surge of airflow when the attacks collided, causing the arrows to fly away.

Wu Qiu also discovered that after the arrows were flung away, they spontaneously combusted and burned up in mid-air.

No wonder she dared to play like this in the city; Amber is indeed quite skilled.

"The sky is too conspicuous, let's go down."

Ying suggested, and Wu Qiu nodded in agreement, urging Wu Xiang Feng Zai to hurry down. Wu Xiang Feng Zai cooperated, quickly lowering his position and escaping Amber's attack range.

"Count Blade Shadow, let's go!"

On the other side, after losing sight of Wu Qiu and his group, Amber turned around and left with the Count of Blades, who was just like her, to pursue Wu Qiu and his group.

Similarly, Wu Qiu and his group landed in an alley, a very secluded place where they felt they shouldn't be discovered for the time being.

"Take off your clothes and change back into your original clothes, then everything should be fine."

As Wu Qiu was about to take off her clothes, there was a sudden noise behind her.

"do not move!"

A very familiar voice rang out. Wu Qiu and everyone else were startled, then slowly turned around.

Noelle!

Yes, that's Noelle standing at the back. Although she has become a full-fledged Knight of Favonius, she still wears a maid's outfit and fulfills her duties.

Noelle gripped her sword with both hands, her eyes serious as she looked at the group. Her aura grew stronger, indicating that she was about to make a move.

"Hey, hey, hey! Noelle, don't do it, it's me."

As he spoke, Wu Qiu removed his mask. Noelle was stunned when she saw Wu Qiu, her eyes showing disbelief.

“You…it’s you all! No, but how is this possible? How could you…”

Noelle seemed somewhat at a loss. Wu Qiu stepped forward and said, "Noelle, you have to believe me. We haven't done anything immoral."

“Of course.” Noelle lowered her greatsword, bowed her head, and said softly, “Of course I know you wouldn’t, but…”

She raised her head as she spoke, "But as knights, you infiltrated the church's crypt, this...this...I should..."

Noelle looked troubled. Wu Qiu then stepped forward, "Oh, you don't have to be so heartless, I..."

Suddenly, Wu Qiu felt a moment of disorientation. The next second, Wu Qiu felt as if he had been in a daze. Now, he felt as if the trap was about to end.

"Wait, what am I doing right now?"

Wu Qiu was completely dumbfounded. Because the current situation was that he was holding her from behind, controlling her, and binding her with ice chains.

Meanwhile, Ying and the others had already run far away and were still calling for Wu Qiu to catch up.

Wu Qiu was stunned. In his memory, before Noelle could speak, people had arrived. Seeing this, Wu Qiu panicked and used a surprise attack to subdue Noelle, then let everyone escape.

Noelle clearly had no intention of stopping him, otherwise Wu Qiu wouldn't have been able to control her with his limited strength. But that wasn't the main point.

As mentioned earlier, Wu Qiu remembers it very clearly, even the process and his own thoughts at the time; it was all done by his own conscious will.

But the problem is that Wu Qiu also has another thought: just like at the beginning, he pauses for a moment, and then it's done.

Wu Qiu's first thought was, "Could I be developing a split personality?" But then she thought it was impossible. A split personality involves different personalities, while she felt like she had one personality, one consciousness, but it was split in two.

It was as if one half of him was in a daze, while the other half had already taken control of Noelle. However, because it was a single consciousness and personality, Wu Qiu felt both the daze and the control over Noelle.

This reminded Wu Qiu of the first time he met Paimon, when he had shielded her from an attack. But Wu Qiu still didn't know whether he was the one who did it.

Looking back now, the feeling is almost exactly the same back then and now.

Chapter 134: Amber's Pursuit

"Hurry! Hurry up!"

The group sprinted down the corridor. They had no choice but to run as fast as they could, because getting caught would be a real problem.

However, Wu Qiu hadn't expected the matter to become so serious. In just a short while, countless Knights of Favonius were already patrolling the streets and alleys.

"Count Blade Shadow, charge!"

Suddenly, a clear sound rang out behind everyone. A streak of light flashed past, and a long sword wreathed in flames was already in front of Wu Qiu.

With a sharp bang, the longsword was blocked, and the blazing flames were already right in front of Wu Qiu. Just a hair's breadth away; any closer and Wu Qiu would have had his throat slit.
