Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"Huh?" Wendy pretended to be clueless, as if she didn't understand what he was saying.

Keli rested her chin on Jiang Bai's head, wrapped her arms around his neck, and looked at them with wide, curious eyes.

It seemed there was no place for her to interject, so she just obediently watched.

Seeing that the guy was pretending to be stupid, Paimon stomped his foot and looked at the sky, "Take that out and show it to him!"

With physical evidence, this guy can't keep pretending to be stupid!

Kong nodded and took out the crystal he had collected yesterday.

Surprisingly, the crystal, which was crimson and exuded an ominous aura yesterday, is now pure and flawless, as if the filth inside has been purified.

“This is…” Wendy said in astonishment.

"The crystals were purified? When did that happen?" Jiang Bai was full of questions. Had he missed something yesterday?

He looked up at Claire, who shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

Kong wasn't quite sure either; he was also bewildered when he saw the crystals being purified.

"I am not sure as well."

Looking at the purified tear crystals, Wendy's expression turned sorrowful. "These are Dvalin's... these are Stormterror's tears shed in pain..."

"Tears?" Kong paused for a moment.

So, it was tears.

Wendy pulled out another crystal, this unpurified teardrop crystal, crimson and exuding a foul aura.

Looking at the tears in her hand, Wendy's expression grew even more sorrowful. "It used to be a gentle child, but now it's become so sad and full of anger..."

He looked up at the sky, his face filled with hope, "I also have a teardrop crystal here, can you purify it?"

Jiang Bai put Ke Li down and suddenly stretched out his hand, "Can I take a look?"

Klee tilted her head in confusion, not understanding why she was suddenly being put down, and everyone else looked over as well.

Paimon frowned and reminded her, "Lisa said that the energy in here repels elemental forces, so it will hurt if you hold it?"

Kong looked somewhat puzzled; he didn't quite understand why Jiang Bai suddenly wanted to take a look at this.

Whether he was with the Knights or at Klee's house, he had opportunities to bring it up, but he didn't.

However, after the crystals were purified in a muddled way, they asked to take a look.

It’s weird.

"I just wanted to experience what it felt like to have this energy clash with elemental forces." Jiang Bai looked at Wendy and smiled. "Besides, I don't think Wendy is hurt when she's holding it."

Wendy smiled and pushed the crystal towards this friend whom she had made an effort to meet, but who she wasn't very familiar with.

Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Bai accepted the teardrop crystal and carefully sensed the chaotic energy contained within it.

He did not feel any struggle between the elemental forces within his body and the crystal, and the crystal in his hand did not change.

But as he sensed this energy, fragmented images flashed through his mind: decaying, collapsing buildings, a dim, lightless sky, and ferocious, malevolent monsters...

The images were so fragmented and chaotic that he swayed and clutched his head in pain.

"Are you alright?" Kong quickly helped him up.

Jiang Bai's face was a little pale. He opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

"It's nothing, just a slight headache..."

He originally just wanted to test whether he had the ability to purify this thing, but he couldn't purify it. Instead, it was as if he had come into contact with some kind of medium that awakened memories, which gave him a headache.

The images that flashed through his mind were too chaotic and fragmented to be pieced together, and they carried a sense of gloom and oppression that he rejected from the bottom of his heart.

Wendy's eyes narrowed slightly as she watched Jiang Bai's performance, lost in thought.

Jiang Bai pushed the unchanging crystal in his hand to Kong and said weakly, "It really hurts. Try to purify it."

Kong nodded, picked up the teardrop crystal, and in his hand, the impurities inside the teardrop crystal gradually faded away, turning back into a pure and flawless blue crystal.

Paimon's eyes widened. "It really was purified!"

Wendy looked at him in amazement. "You truly possess incredible power! Someone like you is destined to be sung in the poems of bards! Standing in the sun, you will surely become a hero; standing in the shade, you will also bring disaster..."

Wendy's expression darkened. "But I don't have time to compose a new piece for you right now. Even if Dvalin isn't attacked, his life force will rapidly fade; he'll burn himself out in anger..."

Paimon asked, "Is there anything we can do to help?"

"Purifying the crystals has already helped; now I have my own plan."

What is your plan?

"Seeing the dragon's tears reminded me of an old friend. Hehe, I'll have to excuse myself now."

Before he could run off, Paimon called out to him, "Hey! Where are you going!"

"The symbol of heroes in Mondstadt." Wendy blinked and quickly disappeared from their sight.

Watching Wendy's retreating figure, Jiang Bai rested his chin on his hand in thought.

He had a feeling that this guy had deliberately led them here.

He claimed he didn't have time, yet he went to great lengths to tell them the story of Dvalin. This clearly contradictory behavior made it hard to believe he hadn't done it intentionally.

He talked about his own plans, but he was clearly just trying to pique their curiosity. He even deliberately left out the location, practically saying: Come and chase me!

The key point is that he was genuinely intrigued and willingly walked into the trap.

He has a close relationship with Dongfeng Dragon Dvalin and knows secrets that ordinary people cannot know. What is this guy's identity?

However, if the corrupting power within the crystal is of the same origin as the dragon in the snow mountain, then why didn't he trigger his memories in the heart cave of the snow mountain dragon?

Is it because he didn't get close to the heart and touch the source of that filth?

Also, what exactly were those fragmented images that flashed through his mind?

Why is this power able to trigger his memories?

According to Abedo, his memories are now just subconsciously blocked. Contact with things he used to come into contact with often has a high chance of awakening certain memories. So, he frequently came into contact with this power before he lost his memory.

It seems he'll have to find Aberdo and ask him what this vile power really is...

"I know where the symbol of a Mondstadt hero is!" Paimon said with a proud little expression.

Upon hearing her voice, Jiang Bai looked at her.

In his opinion, this little guy who called himself the Sky Guide was quite mysterious. He didn't know anyone from the Knights of Favonius before, but he knew all about the stories of Mondstadt.

Chapter 207 Children are still the most lovable.

They're not quite children, but their personalities are like those of children.

The key point is that she was still fished out of the sea by Kong.

Jiang Bai looked at the real child, Klee, and asked, "Klee, do you know where the symbol of a Mondstadt hero is?"

Klee thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Klee doesn't know."

Children can only remember a limited amount of things, and they can only understand a limited amount of things.

Perhaps the Knights had mentioned it to her, but she hadn't taken it to heart and had forgotten about it without realizing it.

In comparison, Paimon, who looks and looks like a child, is a complete fake child.

Seeing that even Klee didn't know, Paimon put his hands on his hips and said proudly, "Hmph~ I know a lot of things!"

Jiang Bai smiled and flattered, "Then I'll trouble the all-knowing guide Paimon to lead the way!"

Paimon led a few people and flew out of the city, while Kong walked along, lost in thought.

Jiang Bai glanced at him. "Are you thinking about Wendy?"

"Hmm." Kong nodded. "I feel like his voice sounds familiar."

"Familiar?" Jiang Bai's eyes narrowed slightly. "Have you seen him before?"

“We met once in the wild, but we didn’t talk then.”

Looking at Paimon leading the charge and Klee chasing after him, Sora didn't hide her thoughts, "And don't you think his behavior is a bit too deliberate?"

"I do have a guess."

"Ok?"

"You said the voice sounded familiar, is it possible that it sounded like the voice you heard when you were driving away Dvalin?"

At that time, everyone guessed that the wind god had appeared and borrowed the power of the sky.

Jiang Bai thought for a long time and felt that Wendy was most likely the Wind God.

After all, according to Wendy herself, Dvarin has been asleep for five hundred years.

He couldn't have just met Tvalin recently.

In other words, Wendy met Dvalin five hundred years ago.

Having spent so long in the Hall of Rebirth, he knew better than anyone the normal lifespan of humans in this world. How could a normal person live for five hundred years? And still look so young?

Kong, suddenly enlightened, realized that he was just one step away from the truth.

If the wind god invited them to help Dvalin, then he would have no choice but to help if there were many things he wanted to ask the wind god.

As they drove to Windrise, Wendy, standing under the big oak tree, waved and said, "You're here! I was just wondering if you'd follow us!"

Kong looked into Wendy's eyes. "I want to know more about the Wind God."

Wendy seemed completely oblivious to Kong's unusual attitude, and asked with some surprise, "Barbatos, the Anemo Archon? That guy has disappeared from Mondstadt. What do you need the Anemo Archon for?"

"There is something, but let's talk about it after this is over. What was the plan you mentioned earlier?"

Wendy didn't waste any words and mysteriously revealed his plan: "We're going to the Cathedral of the West to get a harp called 'Sky'."

“The Sky Harp? Klee knows it!” Finally hearing a familiar name, Klee raised her little hand. “The harp that Barbatos, the god of wind, once played. It’s brought out every year at the badminton festival!”

Jiang Bai raised a question, "How are we supposed to get it? We can't wait until the badminton festival, can we?"

Wendy said mysteriously, "Well, you'll find out soon enough."

The group then headed back towards the Cathedral of the West. On the way, Paimon complained silently, "So why did we come here? Couldn't we have just gone straight to the Cathedral of the West?"

"Because I'm injured, I need to heal here."

"Are you injured?" Jiang Bai looked him up and down, but found no signs of injury.

“Yes, because someone interrupted my conversation with Dvalin, I was corrupted as well.” Wendy shrugged, the person she was referring to was obvious.

Kong felt a little embarrassed; he really didn't mean it.

"How's your injury? Do you want him to cleanse it for you too?"

"With the breeze blowing through the trees and you all here, I feel much better."

Although Mondstadt has been in some chaos recently due to the rampage of Stormterror in the city, there are still many people praying at Favonius Cathedral.

Wendy spotted a free nun and walked over.

"Hello, Sister Sister."

"May the wind god bless you, young poet. What is it?"

"I possess a secret that can resolve the crisis facing Mondstadt..."

"That's wonderful news, but you should report this to the Knights. What can I, a nun, do to help you?"

"Of course there are, like the Sky Harp. With the power of the Sky Harp, I can make the Wind Demon Dragon..."

"Please leave." Before Wendy could finish speaking, the nun coldly refused him.

"Although that demonic dragon is extremely ferocious, as long as the acting captain is determined, there is no reason why it cannot be defeated."

Wendy took a step back in surprise. "Wouldn't Stormterror be dead then?"

The nun was resolute: "Even if the Wind God himself descended, he would not easily forgive the foolish beast that turned its back on the East Wind."

Jiang Bai watched expressionlessly as the Wind God himself asked the nun who worshipped him to borrow a zither in an attempt to save his good friend, only to be refused.

It has to be said, some things are just that ironic.

Even though the Wind God didn't say a word, there are always people who claim to be acting on the God's name and think they represent the God's will.
