Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Jiang Bai laughed out loud, quite unkindly, "Hahaha, you actually let this little guy, who's not even as big as your head, wash your hair? She'll probably drown in the sink..."

Paimon floated in the air, looking embarrassed, his eyes darting around, his two index fingers poking at his chest.

Kong glared at her. "From now on, stay away from my hair when you sleep. I don't want to wake up one day bald!"

Jiang Bai looked Paimon up and down, his tone full of surprise, "You can actually eat hair? That's amazing..."

Jiang Bai grabbed her little cloak. "Look at you, all wet. Come on, I'll dry you off."

Paimon resignedly let him carry him away.

Klee has many alchemical artifacts made by Abedo in her home, including an "Elemental Hot Air Blower" specifically for washing and drying Klee's hair.

According to Abedo, the hot air blower contains crystals containing wind and fire elements. When it is turned on, the wind element flows in, is heated by the fire element, and then blows out hot air.

It was amazing, and then Jiang Bai took one to use for drying Hu Tao's hair.

Jiang Bai held the oddly shaped hot air blower and blew it at Paimon as if he were drying a cat's fur.

Paimon lay sprawled on the table, raising his arms and legs occasionally to make the warm air blow more evenly.

Kong walked over with her hair still wet, and seeing Paimon acting like nothing had happened made her angry.

He's the one whose hair was being chewed up, and he's the one who needs his hair washed, yet this guy is just lying here enjoying other people's services.

Jiang Bai handed him the hot air blower, "Here, take this. I'm going to wash up now."

When Jiang Bai returned after washing up, Kong had already braided her hair, and the missing corner was hidden inside, so it was not noticeable.

Claire came down the stairs looking refreshed. She had changed her clothes and washed up, ready to face the new day with full energy.

Good morning, everyone!

"Klee, come and have breakfast."

There was some toast on the table, which Jiang Bai had casually toasted in the kitchen when he got up that morning.

While eating breakfast, Sora suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, there's something I didn't mention yesterday..."

"What is it?"

Sora recalled what happened back then, "Yesterday, before I picked up that crystal, I saw someone who seemed to be talking to the Stormterror."

Paimon nodded in agreement, "That's right, that's right, a guy in green! He spotted us, and then vanished in a flash!"

Green clothes?

Jiang Bai recalled that the Adventurers' Guild's uniform was green, and a bard he knew also liked people who wore green clothes, but the range was really too broad.

"Do you think the Stormterror's attack on Mondstadt is related to that person?" Jiang Bai looked into the sky.

Sora couldn't give a definite answer either, "I saw him talking to the dragon, seemingly comforting it..."

"Since Leader Qin has invited us to help, our task today is to find this person!" Paimon raised his little hand and made a cheering gesture.

"Spark Knight guarantees to complete the mission!" Klee cheered.

"Let's go check out the Adventurers' Guild first; it's full of people in green."

"Adventurers' Guild?" Kong didn't know about this organization.

"It's an adventurer's organization. Once you join, you can take on quests and earn rewards. You don't have any Mora right now, do you? If you want to earn Mora, the Adventurers' Guild is a good fit for you."

To help this newcomer who knew nothing, Jiang Bai took over Paimon's role as his guide and provided him with some basic knowledge.

He pulled out a Mora coin. "Mora is the money we use, it looks like this..."

"You'll definitely need Mora to live in the city, and you probably don't have any since you just arrived. You've helped the Knights so much, they should at least give you something in return. If you're too shy to ask, I'll ask them for you later..."

Jiang Bai was well aware of his predicament when he first arrived, but fortunately, his food and drink were taken care of by the Rebirth Hall at that time, and he was also thick-skinned, so he didn't feel embarrassed to ask Hu Tao for money.

Kong was different from him; the Knights hadn't arranged any food or lodging for him, probably because they were too busy and forgot. Neither he nor Paimon had remembered it either.

If it weren't for his kindness, this hero who drove away the Stormterror might have had to sleep on the streets on his first night in Mondstadt.

Kong looked at Jiang Bai with some gratitude in his eyes; he was indeed penniless.

Although the Knights gave him the title of Honorary Knight, it was ultimately just a title with little practical use.

Paimon looked at Jiang Bai with newfound respect, "I didn't realize you were such a nice person!"

Jiang Bai flicked her headdress. "The elders and folks of the Hall of Rebirth have certified that I'm a very good person..."

Chapter 205 The Most Popular Bard

Paimon covered his crown, turned his head away, and angrily said, "I take back what I just said!"

Klee chuckled to herself, "Little Paimon is so cute."

"Let's set off after we finish eating! First stop: the Adventurers' Guild!"

The Adventurers' Guild was as lively as ever, with adventurers coming and going, sitting or standing in the lobby, or looking at the bulletin board for any available quests.

Sora and Paimon's gazes swept across the faces of the people in green clothes in the Adventurers' Guild, but they didn't find the person they had seen yesterday.

"Welcome to the Adventurers' Guild, towards the stars and the abyss." Catherine, dressed in a green uniform, greeted them with a smile.

Paimon flew over to her and asked, "Hello Catherine, do you know someone who is wearing green clothes and a green hat, has black hair in two braids, and looks about his age?"

Paimon pointed at Sora, noting that the person he had seen yesterday was about the same age as Sora.

Hearing Paimon's description, Jiang Bai was reminded of Wendy.

Wendy seems to have this image: wearing a green hat and having two small braids.

Catherine thought for a moment, "I seem to remember him... May I ask what you want with this person?"

"We have something we'd like to ask him for advice on."

Catherine shook her head. "I once met a bard who fits your description, but I don't know his name and he wasn't a member of the Adventurers' Guild. I'm afraid I can't help you."

While Paimon was looking worried about finding the person, Jiang Bai took the initiative to speak up, "I might know the person you're talking about."

"You know him?" Paimon looked at him in surprise.

"Yes, but Miss Catherine and I are probably referring to the same person. I'm not sure if he's the one you're talking about."

"That piece will lead us to him!"

"I don't know where he lives either. Let's ask at the tavern later; bards like to hang out there. Do you want to register as adventurers first?"

"Mhm!" Paimon nodded, shoving Kong to hurry up and register as an adventurer.

After registering as adventurers, the group left the Adventurers' Guild and, out of curiosity, asked:

"What's the name of that person you know? What's their identity?"

"His name is Wendy, he's a bard, and we met by chance."

As the two were talking, Paimon spotted a green hem of clothing running past on the side of the road.

She quickly shouted, "It's him! Let's catch up with him!"

The figure ran quite fast and soon turned into another road.

Paimon and Sora had already caught up. Jiang Bai glanced at Keli's short legs, then lifted her onto his shoulder. "Hold on tight! We're going to catch up too!"

Klee hugged Jiang Bai's head tightly with one hand and stretched the other hand forward, cheering, "Spark Knight Charge!"

The group chased the statue all the way to the plaza below it, where many people were praying to the wind god statue.

Their target, Wendy, was playing the harp and singing bard songs, drawing everyone's attention in the square.

The story I'm about to tell begins in ancient times, when the gods still roamed the earth, and a dragon descended from the sky, full of curiosity about everything. The dragon sought its own answers but could not comprehend the chaos of the mortal world.

The wind singer plays its harp, and the harp of the sky answers it. The dragon is but a curious child, flying carefree until now.

It listens to poetry and wants to learn to sing, so that all things may understand its heart.

The singer and the dragon became legends, and a dark age soon followed...

The group stood on the periphery, listening quietly as Wendy sang an ancient ballad, without disturbing her.

The story of the wind god and the dragon is so ancient that people have long forgotten them.

Wendy's voice continued.

[At this time, the lion's teeth are decayed, the eagle's banner is not raised, another evil dragon is approaching Mondstadt, suffering is the shadow that hangs over the cathedral, and lamentations are rewritten by poets.]

The Sky Dragon answered the call and fought a desperate battle with the evil dragon in the storm. The evil dragon ultimately died, and the Sky Dragon swallowed its venomous blood, falling into a deep slumber. Years later, however, no one recognized its resurrected form.

Why do people nowadays reject me?

The Sky Harp remained silent.

Anger and sorrow, life and venomous blood, all turned into tears that fell from the dragon's eyes.

[Silence in poetry and prose allows corruption to take hold easily.]

The Sky Harp, however, could no longer speak.

As she listened silently to the bard's chant, Klee's eyes reddened slightly.

She didn't quite understand it, but she could feel the melody that was both passionate and sorrowful, and the sadness mixed in with the singing.

The Sky Dragon that saved Mondstadt fell into a deep sleep, only to awaken to find that people had abandoned it. Just thinking about it makes Klee feel very sad.

As for Jiang Bai, he was thinking about the enormous dragon skeleton he had seen on the snow-capped mountain.

If he wasn't mistaken, the evil dragon described in the ballad should be the one that died in the snow mountain.

Even though it had been dead for hundreds of years, the dragon's heart still exuded a strange and evil aura.

The East Wind Dragon, having swallowed the poisonous blood, is likely already severely affected by it.

Keli's voice snapped Jiang Bai out of his thoughts, "Brother Jiang Bai, why don't you think Lord Fengshen comes to help Dalonglong?"

Klee looked up at the enormous statue of the wind god in front of her, and felt like crying.

Jiang Bai also looked up at the enormous statue, "Perhaps the Wind God doesn't know about these things yet..."

Wendy's song mentions that "the lyre of the sky can no longer speak," but is it because the person playing it is no longer there, and therefore it cannot speak...?

Does it mean that the Wind God can no longer appear?

When the performance ended, the crowd dispersed, and Wendy saw them.

"Oh, friend, you're here too!"

Wendy spotted Jiang Bai immediately; with Klee sitting on his shoulders, his height was truly striking.

"Wendy, long time no see." Jiang Bai greeted him with a smile, gesturing for him to look at Kong and Paimon. "I have two friends looking for you."

"You are..." Upon seeing the two faces, Wendy seemed to ponder for a moment, "You're the ones who scared Dvalin away back then, aren't you!"

"Tvalin? Who's that?" Paimon asked in confusion.

"Is your memory that bad? The East Wind Dragon is called Dvalin!" Jiang Bai tapped her headdress. Does this little thing not have anything in her brain?

He was tempted to shake it a bit to see if he could hear the sound of water.

Paimon straightened his crown with one hand; after being knocked on so many times, his movements became fluid and natural.

She couldn't be bothered to argue with Jiang Bai, and looked at Wendy with a particularly puzzled expression:

"But don't most people call it Wind Demon Dragon? Why do you call it that? Are you two very close?"

Jiang Bai looked at him with suspicion. Why did he feel that this friend of his, whom he had met by chance, was not simple at all?

"Guess~" Wendy blinked, smiling without saying a word.

“Kong, I feel like this person is weird.” Paimon hid behind Kong.

Kong remained calm and said, "Hello."

Wendy took the initiative to introduce herself, "Hello, stranger I've only met once, I'm the bard Wendy."

He coughed twice, emphasizing his words, "To be precise, I've been the champion of the 'Munde's Most Beloved Bard' title for three consecutive years! What do you need me for?"

Hearing Wendy emphasize that he was Mondstadt's most beloved bard, Jiang Bai suddenly felt that this guy was not mysterious at all.

Chapter 206 Chaotic Fragments of Memory

Paimon floated out from behind Kong again. "Since you recognize us, there's no need for further explanation! It's about Stormterror, of course."
