In Teyvat, it all begins with rescuing the grass god.

These abyss mages who infiltrated the city were complete madmen. After realizing that escape was hopeless, they would shout slogans like "His Highness will avenge us" and then end their own lives.

It took me ages to finish this.

They managed to capture one person alive, which left Qin feeling extremely frustrated.

Moreover, this person is extremely tight-lipped and won't say anything no matter what we do. After a busy night and half a morning playing the piano, I'm really exhausted.

Hearing that the captured animal was unwilling to speak, Kaiya became excited and eagerly said, "Give it to me, and I promise I'll make it talk."

At this moment, Rhodes also said quietly, "Give it some pure elemental crystals, and it will confess."

Hear the words.

Kaiya's eyes lit up, and he grinned, "Wow, I didn't realize you were such a seasoned interrogator!"

“My senior brother is the Grand Discipline Officer of Mount Sumeru, and he taught me a few skills.”

Rhodes smiled and, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, began sharing his experience with Kaeya.

Sino was a master of torture, and his memory recovery technique was so advanced that even members of the Abyss Order would suffer a fate worse than death if they fell into his hands.

These experiences, inherited from the Grand Disciplinary Officer, greatly inspired Kaiya.

As soon as the two finished discussing this topic, he immediately said to Qin, "Commander Qin, I'm going to interrogate that Abyss Mage."

Say it.

His figure disappeared at lightning speed.

And Kaiya had just left.

Qin seemed to have been waiting for a long time before she spoke up: "Mr. Rod, you still need to help me draft a document about what we talked about last night."

Spreading rumors among fools.

This is no small matter.

To make the fools so busy and distracted that they have no time to think about anything else, the rumor must be made so convincing that it is difficult to find any flaws.

Therefore, not only did Rhodes, who made the proposal, need to help, but Lisa, who was well-versed in various books and extremely familiar with the 'Demon Dragon Usa Case' from back then, also had to participate.

As for Kaiya...

He is Diluc's adopted brother, the central figure in this rumor. To ensure the rumor remains convincing, he absolutely cannot know about this, at least not now.

That's why Qin waited until he left before bringing this up.

And then there's Wendy, who has absolutely nothing to do with this.

"Let him stay."

"This guy is always running around, he has a lot of secrets, more than your Knights of Favonius know."

Rod said with a chuckle.

Do they know more secrets than the Knights of Favonius?

This caused Jean's attitude towards Wendy to change again.

If what Rhodes said is true, then someone like Wendy would be the best asset to the Knights of Favonius!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 168. Wendy, preparing to use herself as bait (Chapter 161)

Chapter 161 Wendy Prepares to Use Herself as Bait

With the help of Wendy and Lisa.

This copywriting went very smoothly, and it even added many previously unknown details.

However, no one knows whether these claims are true or false.

Even this half-true, half-false addition was enough to make Jean's gaze toward Wendy burn even brighter.

The Knights of Favonius are desperately short of manpower.

Not only is there a shortage of combat power, but there is also an extreme shortage of intelligence personnel. Even guerrilla squads, which are professional teams responsible for hunting in the wild, have to be stationed in Jingfu Port.

Tell the truth.

Although the people of Mondstadt firmly believed that Jean would be able to lead the Knights of Favonius to eliminate the Stormterror, Jean herself had no confidence at all.

In her words.

If it really comes to the point where we have no choice but to fight Stormterror, then she will be the knight at the forefront of the charge.

At first glance, this sounds as if she were capable of fighting against the Stormterror.

But in fact.

This is just a statement made out of necessity.

Rhodes had previously asked Wendy whether the Knights of Favonius currently in Mondstadt were capable of fighting against, or even injuring or killing, Dvalin in his weakened state.

'If Dvalin focuses solely on attacking Mondstadt and ignores other areas, the end result will be a lose-lose situation.'

'If Dvalin focuses solely on harassing the wilderness as before and doesn't attack cities, then unless Falgar returns with the elite Knights of Favonius, Mondstadt will be worn down and killed by it.'

This is Wendy's answer.

Let me explain.

The Knights of Favonius are currently completely helpless against Dvalin, even though Dvalin is suffering from the poison and his strength has been greatly diminished, putting him in his weakest state.

As the god who is most familiar with the Knights of Favonius and Dvalin.

Wendy's words are absolutely reliable.

If he says the Knights of Favonius can't win, then they really can't win.

But it's a pity.

Venti cannot represent all Mondstadt people, and those Mondstadt people who blindly trust the Knights of Favonius simply do not understand this point.

The Fools exploited this psychology, which is why they took this opportunity to constantly sow discord and try to completely block the path to reconciliation between the Knights of Favonius and Dvalin.

I've been busy for a long time.

A detailed description has been prepared.

Qin read it carefully.

Very immersive.

And yet, no flaws could be found.

It seems that this is not a rumor at all, but a fact that has already happened.

"Use misleading headlines and eye-catching gimmicks. It's best to have subtle connections between different pieces of information, those seemingly unrelated details that, upon closer inspection, will make you think about them in a chilling way."

Spreading rumors and creating public opinion—Rhodes may not be a professional, but even if he hasn't eaten pork, he's seen pigs run.

Qin wrote down everything he said.

Following Rod's advice, she thought for a moment, broke down these texts that were so difficult to distinguish as true or false, and then planned to distribute the different information to different people.

Once you've finished all that...

Rhodes added, "We need to get the Sky Harp as soon as possible."

"Dvalin's condition is very poor, and it's getting worse. If this drags on for too long, even using the Sky Harp might not be effective."

After urging Jean one more time, Rhodes and Wendy left the Knights of Favonius.

The two had just stepped out the door.

I noticed that the flow of elements around me suddenly became more disordered.

"So fast?"

Rhodes, who had been in a good mood, suddenly frowned.

Not long after, Dvalin activated the second temple.

Go on at this rate.

By the afternoon, it will be able to activate the third temple, thus unleashing a hurricane powerful enough to affect the entire Mondstadt.

"It's an Abyss Mage."

Wendy scoffed from the side.

With Qianfeng's help, he knew Tvalin's situation much better than Rodor.

"Another Abyss Mage."

Rhodes stroked his chin, thinking of the abyss mage being interrogated by Kaeya.

At the same time, another question came to his mind.

“There’s an Abyss Mage right next to Dvalin. If you don’t deal with that Abyss Mage, even if you play the music, you probably won’t be able to appease it so easily.”

This is a big problem.

Because this abyss mage has been constantly bewitching Dvalin, anyone who wants to take action against him must confront Dvalin head-on, making it extremely difficult to eliminate him.

That's why I said it.

"Someone needs to help keep Tvalin in check."

As Wendy walked, he said, "First, we need to lure out Dvalin, then have someone distract it so it doesn't leave so quickly. Then you can find an opportunity to find that abyss mage and kill it."

"Without your strength, it won't be easy to restrain Dvalin."

Rod frowned slightly.

Dwarin can fly.

This is a major problem we face.

And this thing can not only fly, it flies at an extremely high speed.

Its ability to fly at supersonic speeds, creating sonic booms, means that catching up with it without Wendy's help is virtually impossible.

Besides.
