Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Although it's impossible to break its shield in a short time, kicking it open is no problem!

"Klee blows it up, I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"

"Bang! Sparks—"

The continuous explosions bombarded the Abyss Mage's turtle shell. The Abyss Mage panicked and tried to teleport to Dvalin again, but Dvalin had already flown away and left his teleportation range.

Startled by the attack, Dwarin became agitated, and Jiang Bai struggled to maintain his balance by grabbing onto its spikes.

Seeing Dvalin about to descend into rage, Jiang Bai shouted in his ear against the howling wind:

"Calm down, Dvalin! We're here to help you!"

“I’m not from Mondstadt either, so I don’t know what happened between you and Mondstadt, but I do know that there are many people in Mondstadt like Klee who want to apologize to you, and many people remember the East Wind Dragon who once protected them!”

The conflict between Tvalin and Mond was instigated and exploited by those with ulterior motives. All they lacked was a proper conversation to resolve their misunderstandings.

Jiang Bai didn't know how much effect his words would have, but some things are better said than left unsaid.

Amidst a series of scorching explosions, the Abyss Mage screamed as he turned to ashes.

Only after the abyss mage disappeared did she realize what she had done, and her expression turned extremely terrified.

"Klee killed someone! Klee did something bad!"

Tears welled up instantly, and she collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

Jiang Bai heard Keli's cries, and the restlessness of Dvalin beneath him gradually subsided.

His lips twitched; he felt that all his verbal sparring was less effective than Klee's crying.

Seeing Klee crying even harder, he quickly jumped off Dvalin, gently patting her back and comforting her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's not human, it's a monster, and it's not dead, it escaped. Klee didn't do anything bad, Klee didn't kill anyone..."

Chapter 220 Let that poet come find me (Bonus chapter, please vote)

Klee rubbed her tear-filled eyes, her voice choked with emotion, "Really?"

Jiang Bai pointed at the falling Dvalin, "It's true, you can ask Dvalin if you don't believe me!"

Looking at Klee with her wet eyes, Dvalin remained silent for a moment before speaking against his will:

"real."

The monster was indeed a monster, but it was definitely dead, not that it escaped as this human claimed.

Klee burst into laughter through her tears, popping a big snot bubble out of her nose.

She looked at Tvalin innocently, "The bad guy was chased away, can Big Dragon make up with us now!"

Neither Tvalin nor Jiang Bai spoke.

They all knew that the conflict had already arisen and could not be resolved with just a few words.

Jiang Bai's gaze fell on the incongruous spikes on Dvalin's back. He knew that Dvalin's current lucidity was only temporary.

He stuck a fragment of the Frostfire Nail into the wreath that Klee had fallen to the ground and handed it to her.

"Since it's an apology, we can't just come empty-handed; we have to bring a gift."

Klee, holding the wreath, looked at Dvalin and, under his gaze, climbed onto his head and then onto his back, placing the half-finished wreath, studded with fragments of the Frostfire Nail, on the spikes where the corrupted power had gathered.

The small green wreath on the scarlet thorns looked very out of place and very strange.

But the Cecilia flowers, growing high in the mountains and enduring the storms, remained unaffected, swaying gently in the breeze and radiating their unique beauty.

In the gentle breeze, the fragments of the Frostfire Nail emitted a faint blue light, which made Dvalin feel much better.

Although I had to endure it a little, it was still much better than before.

"This is Klee's apology gift! Although it's not finished yet..." Klee adjusted the angle of the wreath, barely satisfied.

She remembered that her brother Abedo had said that the fragments of the Frostfire Nail had a purifying effect.

Dvalin shifted slightly to make Klee, who was sitting on his back, more comfortable, and then turned his gaze to Jiang Bai.

"You said before that the poet was seriously injured?"

“Yeah…” Jiang Bai scratched his head awkwardly when his casually made-up words were suddenly brought up.

That poet is probably still drinking at the Dawn Winery. If Dvalin sees him drunk and smug in the winery, his hard-won composure will probably explode immediately.

After all, it's really infuriating to be stuck with such a god as a family member.

"It is healing, preparing to use the power of the Sky Harp to find you; we are helping it collect your tears..."

"Has the poet's power weakened to this extent?" Tvalin exclaimed in surprise, flapping his wings.

Unable to contact their family members, they even need to rely on the power of the Sky Harp, and even using the Sky Harp requires its power.

"I'm not really sure either..."

What could Jiang Bai possibly know? He's just an ordinary working man; how could he possibly know anything about gods?

"Fine, I'll go find him, wherever he is!"

"This...isn't that a bad idea..." Jiang Bai hesitated. "The Knights haven't revealed your identity to the public. If you were to return to Mondstadt, the citizens would have a stress reaction..."

Wendy isn't in Mondstadt, but to keep Dvalin calm, it's best not to tell him.

Dvarin looked down and stared at him intently.

It didn't speak, but the oppressive feeling enveloped Jiang Bai without reservation.

Just when Jiang Bai thought Dvalin would be angry about this, he saw him lower his head and put Klee down.

His six wings flapped, and a whirlwind swept in, carrying him into the sky.

"Then let that poet come to me."

It left behind a single sentence and vanished into the sky.

Jiang Bai rubbed his forehead in exasperation. "You told that poet to come find you? Where are you going to tell him to find you?"

Well, he decided to trust in the unspoken understanding between the gods and their retinue.

After carefully placing the collected teardrop crystals aside, she said, "Let's go, Klee, we need to go back."

Although Stormterror has temporarily regained its sanity, this is only temporary.

The Abyss Mages might not give up on such a powerful force, and there will definitely be other Abyss Mages trying to continue to erode Dvalin.

We need to hurry and have Sora and Wendy purify the impure energy in his body while he's still conscious.

It was several days later when Jiang Bai brought Keli back to Dawn Winery. Fortunately, Wendy was still at the winery, and they hadn't made any moves yet.

Wendy appeared as drunk as Jiang Bai had imagined, perhaps because she hadn't managed to steal any wine due to the maids' strict supervision.

Seeing Jiang Bai and Ke Li return, he greeted them with a smile, "You're finally back! We've been waiting for you!"

"I thought you wouldn't wait for us."

Jiang Bai did have this concern before returning, but luckily he was fortunate enough to be back.

It would be better to agree on a time for the next round.

Klee, covered in dust after wandering around for several days, was taken to the bathroom to wash up by Jean, who couldn't stand it anymore. Meanwhile, Jiang Bai handed the collected tear crystals to Wendy and Sora.

"So many!" Wendy exclaimed in surprise.

Jiang Bai had seven or eight teardrop crystals in his hand, and the Knights had only had seven or eight in total over the past few days.

"We were lucky enough to run into Dvalin..."

Jiang Bai briefly recounted his encounter with Dvalin, which made Wendy sigh.

"Tvalin..."

But he quickly adjusted his mood. After all, it was a good thing that Tvalin had regained some of his sanity; at least he wouldn't burn himself out in a frenzy.

"Klee really came in very handy this time..." Qin said with some emotion after hearing Jiang Bai's description.

Klee kept saying she wanted to apologize to the big dragon, and unexpectedly she actually found him, apologized, and even helped Dvalin regain his senses to some extent. She did a great job.

He looked at Jiang Bai and sincerely apologized, "Thank you for your help as well."

Jiang Bai waved his hand, "I was just helping out, and I don't want to see a hero tarnished."

Wendy's eyes crinkled as she pushed the crystal in front of the empty space. "Our warrior, the task of purification is entrusted to you."

"Didn't we say we were going to find Dvalin? Do we still need to provide energy to the Sky Harp?" Paimon asked.

"Of course I need it. The Sky Harp helps me communicate better with Dvalin."

Kong nodded, and Jiang Bai dripped all the purified crystals onto the Sky Harp.

With ample wind element nourishment, the Sky Harp has been completely revitalized.

"It really brings back memories." Wendy strummed a string on her guitar, her words filled with emotion.

"It should be about time now."

Looking at the vibrant sky, Wendy was in high spirits. "That's enough! Let's rest up and head out to find Dvalin tomorrow morning!"

Diluc glanced up at the sky; an owl was circling overhead.

He walked to the window and reached out his hand, and the owl landed precisely on his shoulder.

He took the letter from the owl's leg ring, read it, and frowned.

"Gentlemen, I'm afraid we won't be able to go together tomorrow."

Chapter 221 Split Operations

"What happened?" Jean frowned upon hearing Diluc's words.

Although the Knights have their own information channels, she is currently at the Dawn Winery, and much of the information cannot be transmitted to her so quickly.

Diluc did not hide anything and truthfully reported the information he had obtained: "According to the intelligence sent by my people, a large number of monsters are gathering around Mondstadt in a systematic manner, and quite a few Abyss mages have appeared among these monsters."

After listening, Qin rested her chin on her hand and quickly sorted out the whole story in her mind.

Without a doubt, these monsters were manipulated by the Abyss Mage.

The significance of the abyss mages manipulating them to gather in large numbers around Mondstadt is self-evident.

“Amber reported this to me a long time ago, but at that time there weren’t many monsters migrating towards Mondstadt. I also arranged for the Knights of Favonius to drive them away and clear them out, but it seems that it didn’t have much effect…”

"It's possible that Dvalin broke free from the Abyss Mage's control, driving them to desperation," Diluc suggested.

"We cannot rule out this possibility."

"What should we do then?" Paimon asked anxiously.

Judging from Diluc's words, things seem to be quite serious.

"At the speed of these monsters, they will appear in large numbers around Mondstadt in the latter half of tonight. However, it is uncertain when they will attack. They will probably choose the time when Mondstadt's defenses are weakest."

Diluc remained calm and composed.

Monsters attacking Mondstadt is nothing new; this isn't the first time such an event has happened. Mondstadt's towering walls weren't built for nothing.

“They are very likely planning to launch a general offensive while we are fighting Dvalin, when Mondstadt’s defenses will be at their weakest, and even if we get the news, we won’t be able to get back in time…” Jean’s expression was solemn, but she was not flustered.

Jiang Bai, Kong, and Wendy watched them talk and discuss like outsiders, without saying a word.

Jiang Bai and Kong were alright, since they were outsiders to begin with, but Venti, as the Wind God, didn't react at all to the fact that Mondstadt was about to face a monster siege. He completely washed his hands of the matter.

Diluc and Jean probably already knew the nature of this wind god, and showed no sign of asking for his opinion.

Paimon, on the other hand, was very worried.

"Then, does that mean you, the troupe leader, can't come with us?"

"No, I want to go, I have to go."

Qin shook her head, her tone resolute.

"The misunderstandings and conflicts between Dvalin and the Knights, and between Dvalin and Mondstadt, must be resolved. As the acting Grand Master of the Knights, I must give Dvalin an explanation, and I also need to personally apologize to Dvalin."

As she spoke, she looked up into the sky and said, “Besides me, Wendy and you both need to come with me. Wendy can find Dvalin, and you can purify the filth from Dvalin.”

"What about Mondstadt?" Kong asked with some concern.

"Don't worry."
