Right now, Wendy was tied up and lying on his side on the ground. Wu Qiu and the others were looking at him like kidnappers, as if they were about to do something to him.

"I've been waiting for you for days, and I've finally caught you."

Wu Qiu looked at Wendy and spoke. Wendy also looked up at Wu Qiu, "I know you, Wu Qiu, the great hero of Mondstadt. Your party yesterday was great, I really enjoyed it, and of course, thank you for letting me drink the free drinks."

Wendy showed no signs of being kidnapped. She stood up as she looked at Wu Qiu, opened her arms, and broke Wu Qiu's ice lock.

"Oh, I'm sorry, would you like me to tie it up again?"

Wendy spoke up somewhat shyly. Wu Qiu's eyes twitched, and he thought to himself, "Is Wendy serious?"

Wu Qiu finally understood why the Mondstadt people couldn't discover Venti's identity. This guy, Wu Qiu still couldn't accept that he was the Anemo Archon Barbatos.

"Stop playing dumb, hurry up and tell us how to deal with the Stormterror."

Wu Qiu cut straight to the point. Wendy seemed to think for a moment, but he wasn't surprised. He just smiled and said, "Before that, I want to know how you view Dvalin, and how you plan to treat him."

“Don’t worry.” Wu Qiu waved his hand. “We know that Dvalin went mad because of the tainted blood flowing into his heart. We also know that Mond has wronged Dvalin.”

Wu Qiu spoke very seriously, while Ying Paimeng and Wu Xiang Fengzai exchanged glances, both seeing the bewilderment in each other's eyes.

"I have no idea……"

"Me too……"

"Add one..."

Wu Qiu turned around, completely bewildered. Looking at these three troublemakers, Wu Qiu inwardly groaned, "What terrible teammates!"

"Hey, don't interrupt." Wu Qiu waved his hand casually, making the three of them feel a little annoyed, but they still suppressed their curiosity and didn't say anything.

"To be honest, I don't want to get involved if it's not a necessary path. After all, between Dvalin and Mondstadt, I'm more inclined to support Dvalin, who protected Mondstadt but was abandoned."

"So, now we need to resolve this, and if possible, I hope we can resolve it gently."

Wu Qiu spoke very seriously. Although he knew it was almost impossible and that in the end he would still have to use force to remove the poisonous thorns from Dvalin's body, he thought that saying it now would make Wendy feel more favorably toward him.

Sure enough, Wendy's eyes showed surprise for the first time after hearing Wu Qiu's words. "I didn't expect that you would think of Dvalin in this way?"

"You are full of secrets, but I'm grateful that you understand. I thought there was no one left in Mondstadt who would..."

Wendy smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, let's go somewhere else."

"Let's go when the wind rises!"

Wu Qiu pulled Wendy away. He wanted to fast-forward through the story; they were going to Windrise next. Wu Qiu knew this, and of course, the story could progress here as well, but Wu Qiu wanted to see Windrise, to see the most comforting place in Mondstadt, that big tree, that tree that was always surrounded by the breeze, like a guardian.

"Do you know where I'm going?" Wendy asked Wu Qiu. Wu Qiu turned around and said, "Of course, I really want to see that big tree in the Land of Wind."

Wendy smiled slightly and didn't say anything. Following Wu Qiu, they quickly left the city. Along the way, Yingpai Meng Wuxiang Fengzai followed along like an alien, looking completely bewildered.

Wu Qiu didn't even bother with acting; he just followed the plot without caring about the process. As long as the matter was resolved, that was all that mattered. As for enjoying the journey, Wu Qiu wasn't stupid. The dragon calamity of the Wind Demon Dragon was no joke. If something went wrong and it wasn't resolved quickly, it would be a huge loss.

The Wind Rises is much lower than Mondstadt, but it is an endless plain. On that plain, only one tree stands.

Its enormous body soared into the sky, surrounded by gentle breezes. Here, the breeze never stopped, and it felt wonderfully comfortable on your face.

Taking a breath feels like a cleansing of the whole body and soul; it's so comfortable and reassuring, as if all the troubles of the world have been swept away by a gentle breeze.

"Wow! This feels so good."

Paimon tumbled a few times in the air, then took a deep breath. The Wind Spirit also spoke with great pleasure: "What a comfortable feeling! Although it's different from my Gale, I really like it."

Ying also had a smile on her face, but then she paused slightly and summoned Fenghen with one hand. Holding it in her hand, Fenghen trembled slightly, and the aura emanating from it perfectly matched the surrounding wind.

"Ok!"

Wendy turned around, her expression, which should have been relaxed upon arriving here, suddenly hardened, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"Um, may I take a look?"

Wendy looked at Ying. Ying looked at Wu Qiu, then back at Wendy. "Okay."

He then handed over the Wind Trace. Wendy took the Wind Trace and examined it closely, stroking the blade with one hand, and finally focusing her eyes on the pebbles embedded in it.

"This is... yes, it's that thing, a fragment of divinity."

"A fragment of divine essence? What's that?" Wu Qiu asked curiously. Wendy shook her head. "I don't know the specifics either. I'd never heard of it before, until I met that Hilichurl..."

"A Hilichurl? Ryu?" Wu Qiu immediately thought of Ryu. Among the Hilichurls Wu Qiu knew, only Ryu was likely to know the god Venti.

"Oh! You've seen him before?" Wendy seemed even more surprised.

"Yes, yes, that stone was entrusted to us for safekeeping."

Paimon nodded. Wendy, however, suddenly realized, "I see. That makes sense then."

“I don’t know anything about this thing either. I can tell you that in this world, apart from Ryu’s group back then, no one else, including the Seven Gods, knows what this thing really is.”

"I'm probably the only one who has had the opportunity to know Ryu and understand this thing. However, all I know is the name 'Divine Fragment'."

Wendy's words completely extinguished Wu Qiu and the others' curiosity to continue asking. And seeing that they wouldn't get any answers, Wu Qiu stopped asking.

"Is that so? Sister Ying, please take that out."

Ying was stunned. This wasn't the first time she'd been stunned. To be precise, she'd been in a daze the whole time, just following Wu Qiu. She still didn't know what had happened.

Chapter 129: Receiving the Qin

"what?"

Ying stared blankly at Wu Qiu. Wu Qiu opened his mouth, then realized that he seemed to have moved too fast and forgotten about Ying and the others.

"It was those tears, Dvalin's tears."

Wu Qiu reminded her, but Ying still looked confused. At this moment, Wu Qiu remembered that Ying probably still didn't know that those were tears.

"That red, teardrop-shaped crystal."

"Oh!" Ying suddenly realized what Wu Qiu was talking about. She stretched her hand behind her back, and like a magician, when she took it out again, she had a light blue Dvalin's Tear in her hand.

"Huh? Why did it change color?"

Paimon, unsurprisingly, asked in surprise. Wu Qiu, however, remained calm, looking at Wendy and asking knowingly, "What is this?"

“These are Dvalin’s tears.” Wendy stepped forward and took the purified teardrop. “They were actually purified! How did you do that?”

Ying shook her head. "I don't know either. It wasn't like this when it was taken out by the Knights last time."

"Is that so?" Wendy rested her chin on her hand, then looked up at Ying. "I have some more here, could you purify them for me?"

As she spoke, Wendy took out...

Three red teardrops, exuding an ominous aura. Ying accepted them without hesitation.

"I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee that I'll succeed."

As she spoke, Ying crossed her arms and cupped the teardrops in her hands, letting them float on her chest. Then, Ying closed her eyes and stood there quietly.

Time passed slowly, and Wu Qiu just watched. He saw beams of white light emanating from Ying's body, gradually converging along her arms, and finally settling on her hands.

The three teardrops were purified in a beam of white light, their ominous red color transforming into a pale blue.

"It actually purified!" Paimon exclaimed in surprise. Wuxiang Fengzai also chimed in, "That's amazing."

Wu Qiu remained calm; this was expected. Returning the purified tears to Wendy, Wu Qiu then asked, "So, what do we do now?"

According to the plot, the goal is to obtain the Sky Harp, but Wu Qiu still needs to confirm whether obtaining the Sky Harp is sufficient to summon Dvalin.

"In that case, you will come with me to the cathedral. I need to get a lyre called the Sky."

As Wu Qiu had predicted, Wendy said she was going to get the violin. But after everything they'd been through, Wu Qiu didn't think getting the violin would be easy; it would most likely involve stealing it.

Back in Mondstadt, Wu Qiu immediately said he needed to make some preparations. Although they didn't know what they needed to prepare to borrow the violin, Wu Qiu insisted on going, so they could only wait.

Wu Qiu spent two full hours preparing. Two hours later, Wu Qiu arrived carrying that large bag.

"What are these?" Paimon asked curiously, reaching out to take a look. Wu Qiu stopped him, saying, "Don't rush, you'll find out soon enough."

"Hmph! How shameless!"

Wu Xiang Feng Zai cursed. Wu Qiu raised his hand and slapped him, "Can't you just shut up or you'll die?"

Following Wendy, they arrived inside the cathedral. Because of Wu Qiu's delay, it was now almost dark.

There weren't many people inside the cathedral, only a few nuns busy with their own tasks. To Wu Qiu's surprise, he spotted someone among the nuns.

"Rosalia?"

Wu Qiu couldn't help but shudder. Recalling Rosalia's brutal nature when he first arrived in Mondstadt, for some reason, Wu Qiu wanted to run away.

Wu Qiu had considered that the current time was completely different from the original game, so the people he would encounter would also be different.

But Wu Qiu really didn't expect to encounter Rosalia. She was, after all, the only nun who didn't believe in the wind god.

"Um... if that's the case, can I borrow it?"

Wu Qiu thought that if Rosalia didn't believe in the wind god, she might lend out the Sky Harp, since that thing was dispensable to Rosalia.

But if Rosalia disagrees, it will be dangerous; Rosalia is no pushover. If I run into her while I'm stealing, I'm doomed.

But then I thought, Rosalia never seems to work overtime, so I should be able to steal things at night without any problem.

While Wu Qiu was lost in thought, Wendy had already gone upstairs.

"Dear Sister Sister, I am Wendy, the bard."

Wendy approached Rosalia with a smile, like a little brother meeting his older sister. Wendy's behavior was very endearing, but Rosalia was clearly not buying it.

Holding a piece of paper and looking at it, he glanced at Wendy and then casually asked, "What's up?"

Rosalia's cold attitude did nothing to dampen Wendy's enthusiasm. Rubbing her hands together, she said with a smile, "I'd like to borrow the Sky Harp."

"Oh!" Rosalia finally looked up at Wendy. "You mean that useless lyre that Bassbatho played?"

"Forehead"

Wu Qiu, Ying, Paimon, and Wuxiang Fengzai were completely dumbfounded. Rosalia was really impolite, showing absolutely no respect for Wendy. Not only did she forget his name, but she also bluntly said that the Sky Harp was useless, even though that thing did seem to be pretty useless.

"Yes, is that alright? Can I borrow it?"

Wendy seemed oblivious, smiling as she watched Rosalia's ingratiating expression.

“No.” Rosalia shook her head. Wendy immediately wilted, looking pitiful. “Why?”

"Although that thing is useless and its existence or non-existence has no impact on me, I am, after all, a nun, and I still have to abide by the basic rules during working hours. So, no means no."

Rosalia finally became serious, but Wu Qiu noticed the suspicion in her eyes. Moreover, Wu Qiu didn't think Rosalia would be particularly conscientious.
