Original God, Teyvat's own Great Love Immortal

I was at a loss for not being able to enjoy the wind elemental power from the other two places, but I met an Abyss Mage on the way and stopped the loss in time, so it was not a big loss, just a small one.

When everyone returned to Mondstadt, the storm in the city had subsided, and Kaeya, Amber and the others had already returned to the Knights Templar in advance. Lisa's team was the last to complete the mission and return.

At the Knights' headquarters, Lisa briefly recounted to everyone what happened to her and Lu Sheng in the Temple of West Wind, and introduced the mysterious force of the Abyss Church.

"The Abyss Church? Haven't they disappeared for a long time? How come they suddenly appear and get involved in the Wind Demon Dragon incident?"

As the intelligence king of Mondstadt, Kaeya has access to all kinds of information, but he knows nothing about the Church of the Abyss.

According to his information, the Church of the Abyss disappeared from the continent of Teyvat long ago, and everyone believed that the organization no longer existed.

Kaeya was surprised to hear that the Wind Dragon's rage was caused by the Abyss Church.

"Doesn't that mean that my surveillance of the Fatui these days is meaningless? Have I wronged them?"

Hearing Kaia's complaints, Lu Sheng laughed inwardly.

If you catch ten fools, you might wrongly accuse a good person; if you catch three, there will definitely be one that slips through the net.

The Church of the Abyss, the Fatui, the Knights, and myself, the four forces each have different thoughts, but their goals all point to the same thing.

Oh yes, and there is also the bard who has not shown up yet.

The small city of Mondstadt is home to several talented people. It is hard to imagine how lively it will be in the future.

Mondstadt: Chapter 12: Jean's Trouble

The news from the Church of the Abyss made the already overwhelmed Jean even more depressed.

Before leaving, the Grand Commander handed the entire Mondstadt over to him. Although he was the acting commander, he had always been conscientious and took care of the city in every detail.

But the current situation really makes people feel powerless.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Many people think that the position of leader of the Knights of Mond is glamorous, but one should not interfere in matters that are not within one's jurisdiction. Only Jean can understand the feeling behind this.

Pressure, nothing but pressure.

The Wind Dragon issue was already a thorny issue, not to mention that Mondstadt had been infiltrated by the Fatui and was now a sieve. Jean couldn't think of a solution to these two issues, and now the Abyss Church had appeared...

If I could give this position to someone else, I would have done it long ago.

It would be nice if the leader was here...

"Not good! Not good!"

Barbara's anxious voice came from the other side of the door.

"Captain Qin! The Sky Harp...is gone!"

Upon hearing the bad news, Qin, who was already suffocating under tremendous pressure, suddenly felt a black screen before her eyes and almost fainted.

"What's going on? Hasn't the Sky Harp been kept safe in the church all this time?"

Kaiya also looked incredulous. Nothing good had happened in these days.

Barbara looked so aggrieved that she almost cried. She explained in a trembling voice, "I don't know either. The church just settled the victims, and Ms. Gottlind asked me to check the church as usual. When I came to the altar where the Sky Harp was enshrined, I found it was empty, so I came to report to you right away."

Kaiya shouted angrily, "Where are the church guards? What are they for?"

"Kaeya, don't blame the guards. Have you forgotten? When the Wind Dragon attacked Mondstadt, I ordered all the Knights to participate in the defense. The Sky Harp must have been stolen during that time."

Qin said lightly, leaning against the desk with a tired look.

At this critical moment, as the leader, she must not be anxious.

"Now we need to find out who stole the piano and what his purpose was."

Yes, who stole it?

Lu Sheng glanced at the people present, then lowered his head and pretended to be in deep thought.

Kaiya: "Who else could it be? It must be the people from the Abyss Church!"

Lisa shook her head and analyzed: "Although the Abyss Church acts cunningly, they probably don't have the guts to come to Mondstadt to steal things."

"Are you saying there is a traitor in our Mondstadt?" Kaeya said.

Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat, but Lisa quickly added, "It's not possible that there is an insider. Have you forgotten that there is a group of people in Mondstadt who may have committed the crime?"

At one point, Kaeya and Jean shouted out a name in unison: "The Fatui!"

"It's actually the Fatui?!" Lu Sheng suddenly criticized loudly and righteously, "Their notoriety is well-known! Assassinations, threats, bribery, espionage, trade wars, interference in other countries' internal affairs, their crimes are unprecedented in history!"

"It must have been the work of the Fatui!"

After hearing Lu Sheng's condemnation of the Fatui, everyone wondered if he had been persecuted by the Fatui before. Otherwise, how could he speak so accurately and tear off the hypocritical mask of the Fatui.

Kaia was puzzled: "But what do the Fatui want the Skyharp for? They don't want to take it back and play some music for fun, do they?"

The Sky Harp has been passed down from generation to generation in Mondstadt. There are many versions of the legend about it, but basically everyone only regards it as a symbol, a heritage of divine power.

It is questionable whether the harp that was once played by Barbatos, the god of wind, can still play notes after so many years.

As the acting leader, Qin understands the secret better than ordinary people, and she heard the story by chance from the old leader.

"Legend has it that whenever the wind god Barbatos plays the Sky Harp, Tevarin will always come from afar, quietly guarding the wind god and enjoying his songs. If I'm right, when the Sky Harp plays the same tune again, Tevarin will appear again."

After listening to this, Lisa nodded slightly and said, "I've heard this story before, so the Fatui's purpose of stealing the Skyharp is probably to use it to summon Tevarin?"

"That's easy. I'll capture a Fatui and interrogate him to get the answer."

Kaia said as he was about to walk out.

Qin called out to Kaiya: "Wait! We have no evidence, this is not in line with diplomatic etiquette."

"What's the point of being polite at this point? Do we have to declare war to turn against the Fatui?"

Kaia ignored Qin's obstruction and led his men out of the Knights' headquarters alone.

"Ah~ This is really too chaotic. Never mind, just let it go. It already...can't get any more chaotic."

Qin seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. She sat down at the table tiredly, pulled out the map of Mondstadt on the table, and began to plan the action to resist the Wind Dragon.

"Lisa, do we really have to be enemies with the Wind Dragon?"

Qin stared at the Wind Dragon's lair marked by a red circle on the map, feeling a mixture of sadness in her heart.

"Qin, I know what you are hesitating about. The Wind Dragon is a mythical beast that once guarded Mondstadt. Logically, the people of Mondstadt should call it a hero now."

Lisa walked up to Qin and patted her shoulder gently. At this moment, only she could truly understand Qin's difficulties.

"But as the leader of Mondstadt, your duty is to protect this land and your people. Mondstadt is the home of the wind and the home of all Mondstadt people. For the sake of your people and this land, you must take up arms, even if your former friends have fallen into demonic forms."

As she spoke, Lisa raised her eyes and looked at Lu Sheng.

"What do you think, cutie?"

Lu Sheng frowned and remained silent. He had to admit that the nickname of Mondstadt's Giant Baby City was not groundless. The people here had lived in a fairy-tale world for too long and had probably forgotten what war was.

In other words, the ten lords of Mondstadt are all on Jean's shoulders. In the current situation of internal and external troubles, she is already a god if she can hold on without going crazy.

"There are some things that shouldn't be said by an outsider like me."

Lu Sheng finally spoke.

"In fact, for the Wind Demon Dragon, death is also a kind of relief. It became violent due to pollution, was controlled by the Abyss Church, and was forced to show its sharp teeth and claws to attack the land it once protected, and slaughtered the people who once worshipped it as a sacred beast. If it had a choice, I think it would rather end its life than compromise."

Qin raised her head and seemed touched. She had always been thinking about problems from her own and Mond's perspectives, but had never thought about thinking from the perspective of the Wind Dragon.

Yes, how could a mythical beast that stood up to fight the evil dragon Durin and was willing to swallow poisonous blood to protect Mondstadt turn around and harm the land it loves?

"Qin, give the order! We will fight alongside you no matter what!"

Lisa's words gave Qin a final shot in the arm.

"Okay! For Mondstadt, for the glory of the Knights of Favonius!"

Qin stood up, swept away the hesitation and indecision in her heart, drew her sword and stabbed the wind dragon's nest on the map.

"All members of the Knights of Favonius, prepare for battle! Follow me to defeat the dragon Tevarin! Defend Mondstadt!"

Mondliyue: Chapter 13: "The Lady"

"Lu Sheng, could you please do me a favor?"

After Qin made the decision to destroy the Wind Dragon, she suddenly made a request to Lu Sheng.

It would take time to assemble a dragon-slaying team, and she couldn't leave for the moment, but she was also worried about Kaeya, after all, he was related to the Fatui.

In the current situation, she didn't want any new accidents to happen.

"Want me to run errands? Just pay me."

Lu Sheng agreed readily.

"Can you help me find Kaia? If possible, it would be best to persuade him not to conflict with the Fatui."

"No problem, I'll go now."

Lu Sheng temporarily said goodbye to Qin and Lisa, asked the guard behind the door about Kaia's whereabouts, and then set out to look for him.

Deep inside a warehouse where no one can find it...

"Quack! I really don't know what the Sky Harp is! Stop fighting!"

The man in winter clothes was beaten to his knees, his usual air of superiority completely gone.

He would never have imagined that an official of a diplomatic mission would be kidnapped, beaten and insulted in a foreign country.

Damn it! It was the executives who were doing all this, but they had to bear the consequences.

Betraying the Fatui means death, and not confessing means death as well. What a jerk.

Yes, once this mission is over, I will go home immediately and never be a member of the Fatui again.

Kaia twisted his sore wrist, feeling a surge of admiration.

"He didn't even say anything after being beaten like this. The dog training method of the Winter Nation is really effective."

Just then, the door of the warehouse was pushed open. Kaiya turned around and saw that it was Lu Sheng.

"Wow~ You actually found me. I guess I should choose a more secluded place next time."

Lu Sheng glanced at the Fatui who were beaten into pig heads beside Kaia and shook his head helplessly.

"Kaiya, how could you do this?"

When the Fatui saw someone coming in, he seemed to have grasped at his last straw and struggled forward, complaining, "That's right! The Knights of Mond are so rude! They actually dared to attack a foreign diplomatic mission! Woohoo! Sir, if you don't come, I'll be beaten to death!"

Click!

Lu Sheng closed the warehouse door again and locked it.

"Remember to lock the door first next time. It would be bad if someone saw you."

"Huh?"

The smiles that were about to appear on the faces of the Fatui froze in an instant.

Kaiya shrugged and explained, "My negligence. I'll pay attention next time. But what are you doing here? Did Qin ask you to tell me to go back?"

"Yes, Qin has decided to go out to fight the Wind Demon Dragon, and asked you to go back and prepare for the battle. Did you get any clues from asking this?"

Kaiya shook his head. "Not yet. This guy is very stubborn and I can't get any information from him."

Lu Sheng walked forward and checked the injuries of the Fatui, and sighed: "Alas~"

Kaiya: "What? You think my abuse of lynching is wrong? Of course I know it's wrong, but special moments require some special means, otherwise..."

"No, I think you're a little too conservative."

Kaia:? ? ?

"I know a little bit about how to pry open someone's mouth."

Lu Shen leaned down and smiled like a daisy.

"There is an old saying in Liyue that goes, 'He who knows the times is a hero...'"

It only took a moment for the Fatui to completely forget their creed of never betraying and blurt out all their plans in Mondstadt.

"I confess! I confess! We did intend to steal the Sky Harp! We did so in order to use the Sky Harp to summon the Wind Dragon, and use the Wind Dragon as bait to lure out your Wind God Barbatos!"

"Barbatos?! He hasn't appeared for hundreds of years. What are you looking for him for?" Kaia asked.
