My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Amber glanced around and recalled for a moment before saying, "It seems like the Fools here were having an internal conflict just now."

"Internal strife among the Fools?"

Jean looked confused, and Amber continued to explain:

"It seems to be a problem with the Ice Queen. It appears that the Ice Queen's status as one of the seven rulers of the mortal world, along with Lord Barbatos, has been usurped."

An executive officer from the Fools' faction, known as the Doctor, noticed this, and then…

Amber began to slowly explain to Jean what had happened, and Jean's expression became somewhat solemn after hearing her words:

"This news is indeed crucial. I will visit that person at Dawn Winery later. Such important news should be very important to him."

Jean didn't say the name directly, but Amber had already guessed the person's true identity. Without a doubt, that person was Diluc, the wind god who guarded Mondstadt.

"Why don't you leave this matter to me? Commander Qin seems quite busy, and besides, I happen to have something I need to ask that person."

Ying's voice rang out at this moment. Hearing her voice, Jean was slightly puzzled, but Paimon's explanation a second later dispelled those doubts:

"The wind god Barbatos is incredibly well-informed; Ying wants to use him to inquire about her brother's whereabouts."

Jean nodded upon hearing Paimon's words. She had heard Amber mention the Knights of Honor searching for their families before:

"Then, Knight of Honor, this matter is entrusted to you. Please be sure to relay everything that happened to the person at Dawn Winery."

Hearing Qin's words, Ying nodded, and Paimon's confident voice rang out at this moment: "Don't worry, don't worry, Ying has already taken on countless missions such as delivering messages."

Absolutely no problem, we'll get the information here to Lord Diluc as soon as possible~

Unlike Gynt Amber, who deliberately avoided revealing what they believed to be the true identity of the Wind God, Paimon spoke quite frankly.

After receiving the mission, Ying said goodbye and immediately prepared to head to the location of Dawn Winery, while Xia Qing, the other half, was checked for her identity by Qin and Amber.

For the average person, the journey from Mondstadt to Dawn Winery is still impossible in a short time. However, Ying is no ordinary person, as evidenced by her superhuman speed.

After being teleported to a teleportation point near Dawn Winery, Ying ran towards the direction she remembered.

After walking a few steps, Ying suddenly remembered something: "Hey, Paimon, if I remember correctly, if we walk a little further ahead and turn a little, there seems to be a Wind-blown Mushroom, right?"

Paimon nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, but shouldn't we be looking into your brother's whereabouts right now?"

Remembering that Sweet Flower Mushrooms are relatively rare compared to other mushrooms, Ying shook her head and said, "It's okay, my brother's matter isn't urgent. Let's pick some mushrooms on the way."

Having decided to leave Brother Long aside for the time being, Ying took a deep breath and then began sprinting towards Mu Feng Mushroom.

After playing the role of a mushroom-picking traveler for a while, Ying, who hadn't missed a single Mushroom in sight, finally remembered her real business.

"Well, let's go visit the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt now."

After saying this, Ying set off again, this time with Diluc in the Dawn Winery as her target.

……

At this moment, in the Dawn Winery, Diluc frowned slightly as he looked at the intelligence report in front of him: "What are those abyss mages planning to do now?"

Just as he was pondering, Diluc suddenly heard a knock on the door. After covering up some crucial information in the intelligence file with the lamp base on the table, Diluc said in a calm tone, "Come in."

"My lord, the honorary knight of Mondstadt, Ying, has come to visit. Shall we see him?"

The maid at Dawn Winery said something that piqued Diluc's interest: the traveler of unknown origin was already on Diluc's watchlist.

During the Stormterror incident, that traveler seemed to frequently appear in the Stormterror's territory. Let's take this opportunity to test what kind of person that traveler really is.

"Hmm, please ask her to wait in the reception room for a moment."

The maid nodded in response to Diluc's instructions, and Diluc got up, straightened his clothes, and then hid the information that shouldn't be seen by others in a drawer.

"I have long admired the name of the Knights of Honor. I am Diluc, the owner of this winery."

Ying didn't wait long in the reception room before Diluc arrived with his usual sullen expression. As Ying looked at Diluc, memories flooded back.

At this moment, Ying seemed to see Diluc's declaration from the Stormterror's Lair echoing in her ears.

Chapter 638: Diluc: This level is far from worthy of being an idol.

When it comes to the wind god Barbatos in front of her, what Ying remembers most is his declaration that he would become the number one idol of Teyvat.

"Well then... I wish you the best in becoming the number one idol in Teyvat soon."

After a moment of contemplation, Diluc offered this blessing. Diluc was slightly taken aback upon hearing it. What was this honorary knight saying?

Teyvat's First Idol...

Wait a minute, if the information I've gathered is correct, that honor knight seems to have just returned from Liyue not long ago!

Come to think of it, according to the intelligence I've gathered, it seems that not long after I assumed that this honorary knight had left Mondstadt.

Could it be...?

Seeing Diluc's somewhat gloomy expression, he said, "You went to Liyue not long ago and witnessed my purpose firsthand, right?"

I didn't expect you to have seen through my true identity.

what?

Upon hearing Diluc's words, Ying was slightly taken aback, then a look of understanding flashed across his eyes: "The Anemo Archon and the Geo Archon... I haven't seen them in Liyue."

Upon hearing this, Diluc felt a sense of unease. He never expected that his embarrassing history of playing the suona would be known by the honorary knight in front of him.

If someone with such limited strength were to secretly go to Liyue to become an idol, and this were to become widely known in Mondstadt, the impact on their prestige would be immeasurable.

He had already understood the subtext of the honorary knight in front of him: he absolutely did not see it? Ha, he should have seen it with his own eyes.

After mentioning the Anemo and Geo Archons, she paused for a while, enough time to say her own name. It seemed she had personally witnessed her forming a band with the Anemo and Geo Archons, including Liyue.

Ever since learning what Venti had given him from the Stormterror's Lair, Diluc had already guessed the true identity of the object.

Meanwhile, in Liyue, Barbatos's old friend was no ordinary person; the honorary knight's words directly revealed Zhongli's true identity.

It seems that the one named Zhongli is the Rock God Morax. No wonder he showed no respect when addressing Yuheng Star and Tianquan Star.

"This secret is not yet ready to be revealed, so you must have something to ask of me?"

Seeing Diluc say this, it's clear he's not ready to tell the others at the winery about his secret trip to Liyue to perform.

Diluc's current skill level is still too low, and he doesn't plan to reveal his identity until he reaches a sufficiently high level.

If this is all the playing ability I have, then calling myself an idol is a complete insult to the word "idol."

If someone asks me to perform, what can I do now? Can I just cry my heart out and send them away on the spot?

After spending some time in Liyue, Diluc gained a general understanding of the musical style of the suona and even had some guesses about what kind of music he initially played.

Recalling how enthusiastically he had boasted there before, Diluc couldn't help but think that the Fatui members in Liyue were actually quite mild-mannered.

Upon hearing Diluc's words, Ying's eyes lit up. As expected of Barbatos, the wind god who protects Mondstadt, he saw through Ying's desire at a glance.

"I want to ask... how is a man named Sora, who looks very much like me, doing now?"

Diluc was slightly taken aback when he heard this question. Why are you asking me this? I'm not a fortune teller. So... do you need me to mobilize people to help find the person?

After a moment of silence, Diluc said, "I understand. I will find a way to bring that space to you."

Good guy.

Is this the Seven Rulers of the Mortal World? Their ability to act is truly astonishing.

Brother, I knew we would eventually meet again, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Speaking with such confidence, Barbatos must know where you are right now.

Ying thought to herself, and at that moment she suddenly remembered something else: the leader of the troupe, Jean, had asked her to repeat something to Diluc.

While the two were talking at the Dawn Winery, at the same time, in the Goethe Hotel on the other side, the young master was casually playing with the memory device in his hand.

"It feels like... the color has changed a bit."

The young master said with some uncertainty that when he returned after the battle, he found that the item Abedo had given him had become slightly darker in color.

If it was a grape-like purple before, now it's a deep purple that's almost black.

What happened at that time?

The young master closed his eyes and began to recall every detail of his battle with the scarecrow, but in the end he found nothing, not even a single memory related to the color change.

"It's unclear how much impact this change will have."

Looking at the memory chip in his hand, the young master muttered to himself, and just then, a familiar voice rang out:

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. It's a normal thing, you don't need to worry."

Upon hearing the voice, the young master looked in the direction from which it came: "By the way, who exactly is this Amberstrong?"

I searched for ages through the Fools' Sect's channels but couldn't find it. I even asked other people who were also searching, but still couldn't find it.

Faced with the young master's doubts, Xia Qing, disguised as Abedo, casually replied, "I'm not very clear about this either. I didn't study the history of your period very well."

I've heard of Amberstrong, who wields forbidden knowledge, from others. At this time, she served the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt. Beyond that, I know virtually nothing.

Having arrived at this answer, the young master nodded somewhat helplessly, but after a moment of silence, he looked at Abedo and asked another rather intriguing question:

"Abedo, what do you know about... the name Theresa?"

Upon hearing this question, Abedo looked at the young master with a somewhat strange expression: "Wait, don't tell me you don't know who she is. She is your Winter Queen of Ice."

Feeling troubled by this answer, the young master revealed the news he had heard from the doctor about the substitution.

After hearing the fabricated story from the young master again, Xia Qing showed an unexpected expression: "There's such a thing?"

This event will not be recorded in future history books. As far as I know, there is absolutely no such history about that empress who ruled the winter.

Either the doctor who died during the Great Reckoning was deceiving you, or Theresis perfectly replaced Theresa, burying that past in history.

Chapter 639: Scarecrow: I will become the new Joker!

The young master was quite curious about the great purge that Abedo mentioned, but unfortunately Abedo didn't say anything in the end.

Meanwhile, after learning from Ying what had happened in front of the church, Diluc felt a heavy pressure on his shoulders.

The Fools are in turmoil... What impact will this have on Mondstadt?

Diluc ultimately decided to go and discuss the matter with Jean first, as he knew that this was not something he could solve by relying on the power of the Idol System alone.

What exactly is Barbatos, who is using the alias Wendy, trying to do? Diluc felt that the Heart of God in his hand was like the Spark Knight of the Knights of Favonius, whose fuse had already been pulled.
