Their commission was suspicious.

The other party is definitely not an ordinary person, in fact...
However, now is not the time to discuss this.
“Hehe… well, as things stand, we need three more Dvalin’s Tears to fully fill the Sky Harp with wind element. Only then can the Sky Harp function at its maximum potential,” Wendy said.
“Hey, you busker, I have a question for you. If you want wind elemental power, why don’t you let Jean Grey use her Eye of God to gather it?” Paimon asked a question that had been bothering her for two hours.
Why go to the trouble of finding Dvalin's Tear when it's clearly all wind elemental power?
“Of course, it’s because Dvalin, as the Dragon of the East, has a purer, more abundant, and more advanced wind element contained in his tears. While a regular Eye of God can indeed manipulate wind elemental power, that wind elemental power is not concentrated enough, and it cannot be kept on the strings for long,” Wendy explained.
“Well, if the Sky Harp needs lightning elemental power, I might be able to help, but unfortunately, I’m not good at wind elemental power,” Lisa said, shaking her head.
"Searching for three drops of Dvalin's tears across the entire Mondstadt is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It reminds me of that competition with the Fatui. Anyway, never mind..." Diluc inevitably becomes a bit long-winded when it comes to business.
“However, nothing is absolute in this world. Not everyone’s Eye of God is unable to infuse the strings of the Sky Harp with wind elemental power. Although ordinary users of the Eye of God cannot achieve this, there is indeed someone here who can.” Wendy said, glancing at Chen Luo.
"Huh? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?" Chen Luo looked at Wendy warily.
"That's because your Eye of God is truly ridiculously advanced. You are the strongest Eye of God user I've ever seen in terms of wind element control." The Wind God Barbatos affirmed Chen Luo.
Chen Luo's Eye of God was just one step away from breaking through to the same level as the Heart of God, which was truly outrageous.
"Hmm, is that so?" Qin couldn't help but glance at Chen Luo again.
After all, as the holder of the Eye of God, and a Wind-type Eye of God with the same attribute as the Wind God, Jean naturally wanted to gain more of the God's attention.
Or rather, all users of the Anemo Vision in Mondstadt think this way.
This is especially true when Qin is extremely devout to the wind god.
“That’s a really rare item,” Lisa said, expressing her interest as well.
If it were just an ordinary bard saying something like that, Lisa wouldn't be too bothered. After all, how many Eye users could an ordinary bard have seen? But if it were Venti...
"Okay, then lend me the Sky Harp for a bit," Chen Luo said to Wendy, who was holding the Sky Harp.
After receiving the Sky Harp from Wendy, Chen Luo removed his Eye of God.
Chen Luo pulled off his Eye of God, tapped its outer shell, and then placed it on the strings of the Sky Harp.
Suddenly, the wind appeared.
On the second floor of the not-so-spacious tavern, an endless, visible breeze slowly gathered around the Eye of God.
As the endless breeze transformed into pure wind element and flowed into the Sky Harp under the guidance of the Eye of God, the Sky Harp began to emit a faint glow.
Everyone present was somewhat astonished to feel the wind element, which was almost tangible and visible to ordinary people.
Well, except for Wendy.
Among them, Jean and Lisa, who are most sensitive to elemental forces, find this increasingly mysterious.
"No." The endless swirling breeze stopped abruptly, and Chen Luo hung his Eye of God back on his necklace.
"Hmm, what's wrong? Wasn't everything going smoothly just now?" Wendy asked.
"That's right, it went smoothly, and it can indeed recharge the sky, but it takes a bit longer, more than three hours," Chen Luo explained.
“Three hours isn’t unacceptable. Compared to expending enormous manpower and resources searching the entire Mondstadt region, waiting three hours is indeed more efficient.” Jean offered her opinion solely from an efficiency standpoint.
"That's true, but controlling the Eye of God to gather this much wind elemental power is really exhausting. And most importantly, I have to go back to my bar to open in half an hour," Chen Luo said after glancing at the time on his talent panel.
“It’s alright, it doesn’t matter if the shop is closed for a day. I’ll compensate you for all the losses your bar suffered today,” Diluc said calmly.
Mr. Diluc, who may be a contender for the title of the richest man in Mondstadt, stated with great arrogance.
"No way! How am I supposed to live if A-Luo doesn't open a shop!" Wendy was the first to retort before Chen Luo could even speak.
I'm going to die without Wind God Wine!
"It's not that exaggerated, is it? Besides, didn't you already drink a lot of alcohol in the store just now?" Diluc couldn't help but be moved.
“You don’t understand, the drinks sold at Alo’s Bar are really, really… no Mondstadt person can resist that drink, right, Yora?” Wendy said, pointing at Yora to emphasize the truthfulness of his words.
“Well… if you don’t mind the name of that drink, it’s definitely a drink that no Mondstadt person can refuse.” Yura hesitated for a moment before nodding.
“But, but isn’t saving Dvalin more important right now?” Paimon objected.
“That’s true…” Wendy hesitated.
"How about this, Alo, you gather wind element here first, and then open the bar and make me a Wind God's Brew after you're done?" Wendy asked tentatively.
“…I’m thinking of transferring you now,” Chen Luo said coldly.
Do you think I'm the production team's donkey?
And how are you going to compensate for things like Primogem rewards?
"I'm sorry, I was wrong," Wendy apologized decisively.
After drinking the Wind God Wine, Wendy really suspected that Chen Luo could actually turn her into a wine.
too frightening.
“But in terms of efficiency, it is indeed more economical to have Mr. Chen Luo condense the wind elemental power, which saves manpower and resources. Mondstadt really can’t spare much energy for searching right now. If we can save as much as possible…” Jean looked at Chen Luo with some difficulty.
Due to the recent storm, Mondstadt is in dire need of manpower and resources to search for things. With most of its fighting force already deployed on expeditions, the Hilichurls have even pushed their camps almost to the gates of Mondstadt.
However, Chen Luo was not a member of the Knights of Favonius, nor even a citizen of Mondstadt, so Jean could not command him from any angle.
and so……
[Ding! You have a new request!]
【Sky Harp】: Harp, the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt, hopes that you can charge the Sky Harp to avoid wasting too much of Mondstadt's manpower and resources.
Reward: 100 Primogems
Difficulty: Two stars
"Okay, stop looking at me like that." Feeling Qin's awkward gaze, as if she wanted to ask but couldn't bring herself to say it, Chen Luo took a step back.
However, since the other party has already issued the request, there's no reason not to accept it.
“Well, actually…” Wendy suddenly stood up.
Ah, Wendy couldn't hold back any longer.
Wendy decided to reveal herself.
Torn between the Wind God Wine and the Sky Harp, Venti chose a third option: to recharge it himself.
If you're saying that Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, can't even charge his Sky Harp, that's impossible. Venti just doesn't want to reveal his identity so soon.
Now we have no choice but to expose it.
Fengshen Wine, my Fengshen Wine.
Since it's going to be exposed sooner or later anyway, we should still give it our all for the sake of the Wind God Wine.
"Shut up. I'll handle this." Before Wendy could even finish speaking, Chen Luo stopped her.
Just kidding, if you complete this task, do you still want my reward?
"Oh." Wendy obediently shut her mouth.
It seems Chen Luo has a solution.
"Lord Diluc." Silence looked at Diluc.
"what happened?"
"I heard that you, Lord Diluc, bought over 2000 fakes to collect a sealed vial containing the aura of the Anemo Archon. So, would witnessing an item personally blessed by the Anemo Archon charge the Sky Harp compensate for the loss of booking the entire venue tonight?" Chen Luo asked Diluc.
"Hmm? Although I never intended to charge you for booking the entire venue, since you've put it that way, I'm naturally willing to meet you," Diluc said after a moment's thought.
The important matter of saving Mondstadt is being discussed now, and Diluc naturally doesn't want to bother with the money for renting out the entire tavern.
Anyway, there are no customers.
"Now, everyone, please take a good look. This is a Mora that was blessed by the Wind God not long ago and contains the Wind God's blessing and aura!" Chen Luo solemnly took out a Mora from his backpack.
"Wait, what's that...?" Wendy's mouth dropped open as she looked at the Mora that Chen Luo had pulled out.
Wasn't that the wine money he gave Chen Luo on the first day they met, representing the last bit of wealth he had left?
That being said, I did indeed place a blessing and a wisp of the Wind God's aura on it...
"One Mora? Or the smallest denomination Mora? It sounds completely unrelated to the blessing of the Wind God, but the aura on it is indeed sacred enough." Diluc looked at the one Mora and fell into deep thought.
Since Diluc knew that the more than 2000 sealed vials of Anemo Aura he received were fakes, he could naturally also know what the real thing was, and the one in Chen Luo's hand was undoubtedly the real thing.
"Such a precious thing... are we really going to use it to power up the Sky Harp?" Qin opened her mouth and asked.
Jean's father was the Archbishop of Mondstadt Cathedral, so he was naturally quite familiar with the blessing of the wind god, which is why Jean could see how precious that Mora was.
Honestly, Jyn thought this Mora was worth far more than those Dvalin tears... no, much more precious.
"No, don't worry about it. Anyway, this thing won't be worth anything in a couple of days," Chen Luo said, shaking his head.
After all, once Wendy's identity is revealed, there probably won't be any suckers willing to buy this Mora, right?
Chapter 158 Yura: My house is quite big, why don't you...
"Thank you, Mr. Chen Luo, for your contributions to Mondstadt. Not only did you retrieve the Sky Harp stolen by the Fatui, but you also made such a great sacrifice to save Dvalin. On behalf of the Knights of Favonius, I express my gratitude to you." Jean was deeply moved as she looked at Chen Luo's selfless dedication.
"So, do I get a discount when I buy things?" Chen Luo couldn't help but ask the crucial question.
"Huh?" Qin was taken aback.
Qin didn't understand what Chen Luo was saying.
“Well, we heard that honorary knights of the Knights of Favonius get a small discount when they buy things,” Paimon explained.
"Is that so? Well, with your contributions, Mr. Chen Luo, obtaining the title of Honorary Knight of the Knights of Favonius after truly resolving the Dvalin incident would be extremely easy," Qin said immediately after a moment's thought.
Even if Dvalin isn't ultimately saved, Chen Luo's achievement of retrieving the Sky Harp alone gives him a 50% chance of becoming an Honorary Knight.
After all, he's an honorary knight, not a real knight.
"No need for that, I was just joking. If you really want to make it up to her, just give the credit to Yura. As for being a 'tool', Ying is enough." Chen Luo quickly shook his head.
The title of Knight of Honor is completely useless to Chen Luo.
Although having the title of Honored Knight might make it easier to receive requests from Mondstadt citizens, Chen Luo would rather find a way to improve his puppeteer skills than go out and take care of these Mondstadt giant babies.
An ordinary Mondstadt citizen's request only earns 10 Primogems. While 10 Primogems is indeed a valuable amount, Chen Luo would prefer to take on more meaningful requests if possible.
For example, helping Bronya rescue Seele.
"Put the credit on Yura... Okay, I understand." Commander Qin looked at Chen Luo, then glanced at Yura, whose eyes were somewhat evasive, smiled, and nodded directly.
Although Yura's family represents Yura herself, her reputation in Mondstadt is not high, but rather quite bad.
However, Yura had good relationships with other people in the upper echelons of the Knights, such as Jean.
Of course, besides Amber being overly helpful, Jean's own excellent personality is also a factor.
“However, since you’re willing to give all the credit to Yura, you must understand her current predicament. So, the best outcome for Yura isn’t to be the protagonist in saving Stormterror, but rather an important supporting character.” Jean paused for a moment before continuing.
"Okay, okay. Stop talking to me about this, I'll do whatever you say."
To be honest, Chen Luo didn't understand the intricacies of the workplace and officialdom. His intelligence and knowledge could only ensure that he wouldn't be deceived or cause trouble, but it couldn't guarantee that he would thrive.
Under the collective gaze of everyone, Chen Luo placed the Mora, which had been blessed by the Wind God, onto the Sky Harp.
Since Mora was personally blessed by the Wind God, it naturally contained a more intense wind element than the Tear of Tirion, so the Sky Harp's energy level was instantly full.
Although to outsiders it might just seem like it's a bit brighter, Chen Luo, who wields the Sky Harp and is proficient in its use, can naturally understand its specifics.
However, as the strings of the Sky Harp reached their full charge, the Mora in Chen Luo's hand became unremarkable.
This is what Mora is like after exhausting the blessings of the wind god.
"Thank you once again, Traveler, for your contributions to Mondstadt." Jean said, looking at the Mora, which seemed unremarkable after losing the blessing of the Anemo Archon.
For such a sacred object, to completely strip it of its color would be a heinous crime, but of course, given the urgency of the situation, it is indeed a helpless measure.
"This is truly an eye-opener. The blessings bestowed by Lord Barbatos of the Wind God are not so rare as to be nonexistent. However, the blessing bestowed upon Mora is currently the only one known. This is certainly enough to offset the debt from booking the entire venue. And I wonder if you would be interested in selling this Mora to me? Name your price." Diluc paused for a moment before speaking.
In fact, Diluc said the second half of this sentence not only because of the rarity of the Mora, but also because he wanted to make amends to Chen Luo.
After all, putting everything else aside, this Mora is indeed precious, and the difference in price between a Mora with and without the blessing of the Wind God, and with and without the aura of the Wind God, is simply enormous.
