Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo didn't feel unwell or anything like that, but he just felt something was off.

Chen Luo had wanted to refuse just now, but unfortunately, there's no reasoning with someone who's just woken up.

Therefore, Shi Bao did not give Chen Luo a chance to refuse and directly entered Chen Luo's sea of ​​consciousness.

Chen Luo could refuse, but reasoning with Shi Bao was completely futile.

In fact, the fact that Shi Bao hasn't thrown a tantrum since waking up is already giving Chen Luo enough face.

……

"Hmm? Hasn't Alo arrived yet?" When Yura arrived just in time and saw that Chen Luo was nowhere to be found on Star-Picking Cliff, she asked Wendy.

"Ah Luo, he should be having breakfast now, go and call him." Wendy, who was sitting on the edge of the cliff enjoying the sea breeze, waved her hand, and the bar appeared next to her.

This sight greatly surprised Lisa, Jean, and Diluc, who had never seen a bar before.

"Oh." Wendy nodded, ignoring the surprised looks from others, and pushed the door open, where she saw Chen Luo playing with steamed buns.

"Hmm, is it time? I'll be right out." The moment Chen Luo saw Yura, he knew it was time to go out.

"The scenery at Zhaixing Cliff is quite nice." When Chen Luo first stepped onto Zhaixing Cliff and looked out at the vast ocean, he felt exceptionally good.

Then, I also placed a teleportation anchor here.

"It's exactly 9 a.m., and we're located at Stargazing Cliff. There's both wind from the heights and sea breezes, which perfectly meets the conditions for summoning Dvalin, right?" Lisa asked Wendy after memorizing the characteristics of the bar door as she watched it gradually close.

“Yes, that’s right, this place is perfect for summoning Dvalin.” Wendy nodded emphatically.

“But I don’t really like fighting here,” Chen Luo said, looking at the extremely empty cliff.

"Why?" Diluc asked, his face cold.

"Because it's just too empty here," Chen Luo sighed.

The threads transformed from Chen Luo's power of domination can carry the three major powers of Chen Luo: the power of consciousness, the power of domination, and the power of erosion.

As the number of powers increased and his mental strength grew, Chen Luo's threads became increasingly resilient.

Therefore, Chen Luo's silk threads became his regular method of fighting enemies.

However, it is indeed inconvenient to lay out the threads in such an open space, because you have no idea from which angle the Stormterror will come out.

The most perfect room would be one like the one where the Sky Harp was yesterday. Small and enclosed, Chen Luo could spread his silk threads throughout the entire space.

"By the way, poet, where is the Sky Harp?" Diluc, after scrutinizing Venti's entire body, suddenly realized an important question.

What about the Sky Harp that Wendy carries?

"Hmm, the Sky Harp, oh right, the Sky Harp!" When Wendy touched himself and realized that he didn't have the Sky Harp with him, his expression instantly turned horrified.

"..."

"Poet, you didn't lose it, did you?"

"Wait, let me think. I remember where I put the Sky Harp." Wendy scratched his head and began to think carefully.

"The Sky Harp is with me, you unlucky kid." Chen Luo couldn't stand it anymore, so he temporarily stopped weaving the Sky Net and tossed the Sky Harp to Wendy.

"Oh, I left it with Chen Luo." Wendy suddenly remembered.

"..."

Another eerie silence followed.

"Then, poet, can we summon Dvalin now?" Diluc, who already had a stoic expression, now looked even more expressionless.

“Of course, anytime.” Wendy nodded.

Wendy was preparing herself while sitting on the edge of the cliff, and after about 20 minutes of preparation, she could have started playing at any time.

"Wait a minute, give me a minute, I'll wake up our helper," Chen Luo suddenly said.

"There are other helpers? Who are they?" Wendy asked.

"Fu Hua," Chen Luo said, glancing at the Herrscher of Consciousness who had built a yacht on her own sea of ​​consciousness and was comfortably lying on the bed enjoying the sea breeze.

"We're just summoning Dvalin, is it really necessary to make such a big fuss?" Wendy couldn't help but complain.

"Our main approach is definitely gentle persuasion, but if the other party doesn't listen, then there's nothing we can do," Chen Luo said, shrugging his shoulders.

Tvalin, you don't want to go back to normal, but you also don't want to get beaten up. This puts me in a difficult position.

Chapter 169 Man-Made Collapse - Modified (Snake Form)

"I'll take care of the Wind Demon Dragon, and you'll take care of the Abyss Mage," Chen Luo said to Shi Bao, who had been woken up by him.

As for how to wake them up...

The easiest way to quickly wake someone enjoying life on a yacht is to create a storm for them.

However, this approach is not without its drawbacks, such as... the Herrscher of Knowledge is still angry.

"Hmph!" The Lawbringer, arms crossed, snorted coldly.

I'm very unhappy right now, come and comfort me.

Although the Lawgiver of Knowledge didn't say anything, he practically had those words written all over his face.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry. We're doing this for Wendy, so how about we let you stay in the Sea of ​​Consciousness tonight?" Feeling that his Sky Net was already woven, and not wanting to delay any longer because of the Herrscher of Consciousness, Chen Luo had no choice but to make a major sacrifice.

"It's a deal." The Lawbringer instantly smiled.

"Honestly, why do they have to like living in there?" Chen Luo muttered to himself.

“Alright, let me repeat myself. I’ll be in charge of trimming the Wind Demon Dragon’s nails and removing the poison. You’re in charge of keeping that Abyss Mage in check, modifying his consciousness, and turning him into one of our own.” Chen Luo said to the Herrscher of Consciousness again.

Actually, solving Stormterror's problem is quite simple. Stormterror's biggest problem is the poisonous barb on the back of its neck. Once that barb is removed, Stormterror will basically return to normal.

However, Chen Luo's mission was to restore the Wind Demon Dragon to normal, so he needed to clean up its remaining poison as well. Therefore, he still needed to bring the other party into the war.

Chen Luo promised to give Wendy a completely normal Stormterror.

Furthermore, there's another reason to bring Stormterror into the realm of war: Stormterror can fly.

When Chen Luo was dealing with the Stormterror incident, he didn't want the Abyss Mage to escape, and that's where the Herrscher of Knowledge came in.

As for having the other people here do this...

It's not that they were weak; the Night Elf heroes of Mondstadt, the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, the guerrilla captain Yura, and a semi-retired Anemo Archon could definitely kill the Abyss Mage, and they certainly could.

After Ying's brother is killed, who will look for him?

Therefore, we still need to capture them alive.

It's not impossible for the Herrscher of Knowledge to deal with the Stormterror, and for Chen Luo to deal with the Abyss Mage, but the main reason is that Chen Luo wants to challenge himself.

"Why do you all seem to be blaming Tvalin for not listening to advice?" Wendy, who had been listening for a while, said with a hint of helplessness.

“Tvalin is a good boy, he really listens to advice,” Wendy tried to explain for Tvalin.

"Ahem, alright, you bard, hurry up and play your harp, we're all ready." Chen Luo waved his hand dismissively at Wendy.

If Dvalin doesn't listen to advice and runs away, we'll have to chase him all the way to the Wind Dragon Ruins and fight him again. You have time, but I don't.

It was just a request, and it didn't even specify how it had to be resolved. It's already good enough that they could offer some gentle persuasion first.

Chen Luo's time is still very precious; he hasn't had much time to make dolls yet.

Chen Luo is having a really tough time.

"Fine," Wendy finally relented.

After all, if you think about it carefully, it's impossible for all the heroes who slay dragons to always use persuasion to convince the other party, right?

Sometimes it's more convenient to resolve things with force.

Wendy doesn't want to hurt Dvalin, but sometimes she has no choice.

I'm doing this all for your own good.

“Then it’s time to get started.” Wendy took a deep breath and stared at the Sky Harp in her hands.

"Hopefully, it will be a success on the first try, and that we can awaken Dvalin's sanity. Mondstadt has been burdened with too much during this time." Jean sighed as she stood to the side.

Qin could relate to this all too well, as she had been extremely troubled during the time when the Wind Demon Dragon was causing chaos.

Official business came in from all over the country like snowflakes.

Monsters like Hilichurls are almost invading the gates of Mondstadt. This is outrageous.

"But in the end, it was all strangers who solved the problems. Oh, and a singer too. The Knights of Favonius didn't lift a finger." Diluc remained as prejudiced against the Knights of Favonius as ever.

Of course, these prejudices are indeed not wrong; the Knights of Favonius did indeed make a poor contribution during the Stormterror incident.

"Ahem, I can't pretend I didn't hear that," Yura said, arms crossed.

"At least I brought Alo into the city." But after attracting everyone's attention, Yura suddenly realized that she hadn't made any contribution.

"Alright, alright, everyone, spread out a bit. The world's finest bard is about to begin strumming his lyre." Wendy waved her hand, drawing everyone's attention.

Looking at the Sky Harp overflowing with the power of wind, Venti slowly walked to the very edge of the cliff and began to pluck the Sky Harp in his hand.

Standing behind everyone, Chen Luo had to admit once again that Wendy was indeed quite good at playing the piano.

As the music began, countless gentle breezes carried the songs to faraway places, the rich wind element even making the sea breeze a bit stronger.

Two minutes later, the wind near Star-Picking Cliff began to rage, accompanied by some unusual sounds.

Holding the Eye of the Wind God, Chen Luo could even feel some anger and pain coming from the wind.

"Roar!" The storm instantly intensified, and a colossal creature flew straight up from the bottom of the cliff, the gale-force winds swirling around it causing the Star-Picking Cliff to sway slightly.

A magnificent dragon, both beautiful and slightly ferocious, soared into the sky, circled briefly, and then slowly flew to a position level with the Star-Picking Cliff.

The oncoming gale forced everyone present to shield themselves with their arms.

Only those who understood the laws of nature looked down on this enormous thing.

That's it? That's all?

Back in the day, I'd seen it all.

Just look at the size of this Stormterror...

Hmm, have you heard of Chi You, who could swallow half of China?

However, this Stormterror is indeed much larger than it appears in the game.

This inexplicably reminded the Herrscher of Knowledge of the size difference between Chi You and Bebe Dragon, both Judgment-class Honkai Beasts...

If Chi You sat down, he could probably kill several Beibei Dragons, right?

“It’s you… Now that things have come to this, there’s nothing left to talk about.” Stormterror slowly flapped its wings and roared at Wendy.

"Really? Am I seeing things? Your eyes seem to be recalling this piece of music..." Wendy said sincerely, holding the Sky Harp while looking at the Stormterror.

"Hmph!" The Wind Demon Dragon neither admitted nor denied it.

Qin and Lisa, who were standing some distance behind, were also quite shocked by this.

This poet was actually able to communicate with dragons.

Although some of them had already guessed Wendy's identity, they were still shocked.

Just then, a burst of ice elemental energy surged from behind the Wind Demon Dragon and struck the Sky Harp directly.

After being attacked, the Sky Harp was knocked out of Wendy's hand and crashed to the ground.

Although the Sky Harp is a sacred object, it is ultimately just a harp, not a divine artifact, and was naturally directly damaged by this attack.

As for why Chen Luo, who already knew this might happen, didn't stop it...

Because Chen Luo is currently working hard to weave a net across the sky.

Chen Luo underestimated the size of Stormterror, making his Sky Web appear somewhat small. So while Wendy was talking to Stormterror, Chen Luo was actively working to expand his Sky Web.

"Don't be fooled by him, poor dragon..." A mage from the Frost Abyss slowly flew out from behind the Wind Demon Dragon.

"He abandoned you long ago. Look, he's going to deceive you again... Look at those warriors charging up, aren't they the ones he gathered to hunt you down?" As the Abyss Mage saw Lisa, Jean, Diluc and the others go up to protect Venti, he didn't forget to further his seduction of Stormterror.

"Hate, be angry, you have already become an enemy of Mondstadt, there is no turning back." The seductive voice of the Abyss Mage rang in the ears of the Stormterror once again.

At the same time, the Abyss Mage's wand began to glow slightly, its power to erode and control people's minds controlling Dvalin through the poisonous blood.

Chen Luo scoffed at this sight.
