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

There is an even more troublesome problem.

That means even if Wendy's power allows them to catch up with Dvalin, probably no one can withstand Dvalin's attacks head-on.

To put it bluntly.

Even without using elemental power, Dvalin's sheer size makes close-quarters combat virtually impossible unless one can achieve absolute overwhelming power.

Moreover, Dvalin is an elemental dragon, a dragon that has lived for at least a thousand years.

The characteristic of elemental beings is that the older they get, the more terrifying their elemental reserves become.

Therefore, Dvalin, who has lived for over a thousand years, is someone that ordinary people can hardly rival, both in terms of the amount of wind elemental energy he possesses and his innate affinity for elemental energy.

Just as Rhodes was pondering how to kill the abyss mage without angering Dvalin, Wendy gave his answer.

"I."

"Hmm? You?"

Rhodes paused, staring at Wendy with a scrutinizing gaze, and said, "Didn't you say your divine power was weak and you didn't want to take action?"

“I am indeed very weak right now,” Wendy smiled. “But think about it, Dvalin is filled with hatred for me under the influence of the Abyss Mage, so I am the perfect bait.”

Use yourself as bait.

To distract Tvalin.

This was Wendy's idea.

"very dangerous."

Rhodes only said those three words.

"Ok, I know."

"but."

"I believe in Tvalin, and I believe in you."

Wendy was still laughing, seemingly without a care in the world.

These words silenced Rhodes.

This sudden trust left him somewhat bewildered.

half an hour.

Rod nodded and said, "Then let's do it your way."

169. Chapter 162 The Newcomer

Chapter 162 The Newcomer

Just as Rod had predicted.

That afternoon, the third Temple of the Four Winds was activated.

In addition to Dvalin's own power.

Mondstadt's ley lines were completely thrown into chaos, and the elemental forces were in such disarray that it was unbearable.

"Very annoying."

The irritability caused by the elemental imbalance made it difficult for Rhodes to concentrate on anything he was doing.

Unlike ordinary people who have no sense of elemental power.

The more someone like Rhode can manipulate powerful elemental forces, the more noticeable the changes in elemental forces in their surroundings become.

"You didn't go to inform the Knights of Favonius about the temple."

"It will be fine soon."

Wendy lounged comfortably on the sofa, and after finishing her sentence, she tilted her head back and took a swig of wine, then exhaled a breath of alcohol with a satisfied sigh.

"Hopefully they'll act quickly."

"It's been two or three days already, and not only have we not borrowed the Sky Harp, but the problems with the Temple of the Four Winds haven't been resolved either. The efficiency is really low."

Rhodes stood by the window, grumbling as he observed the Goethe Hotel across the street.

That is the Fools' stronghold in Mondstadt.

If the rumors spread by the Knights of Favonius have any effect, they should take some action.

The place I rent has a great view, which is perfect for observing their movements.

"what?"

After observing for a while, a figure wearing a black and white long dress and a red cloak caught Rhodes's attention.

Rosalyn Cruzshika Loefat.

The eighth executive officer of the Fools, a lady.

With just a glance, Rod was absolutely certain of the woman's identity.

Without him.

With her exaggeratedly large figure, gorgeous clothes, and haughty demeanor that makes her intimidating, it's hard not to recognize her.

Moreover, despite Rosalind's hostile attitude towards Wendy, she is equally frivolous and rude towards Geo and Thor.

But this woman is actually a very cautious person.

This statement is contradictory, yet it is true.

After confirming Wendy's identity as the Wind God, Rosalind, a mortal without even the strength of a Demon God, dared to rob him with only a few subordinates. Her audacity was astounding, and her actions were undeniably arrogant.

However, she also takes into account the diplomatic relations between Winter and Mondstadt, so she usually operates in secret and rarely takes the initiative to communicate with Mondstadt's high-ranking officials. She basically leaves these matters to her counselor, Anastasia.

Even after she forcibly took Wendy's Heart of God, she was concerned that the commotion would attract the Knights of Favonius and leave her with a handle against her, so she quickly left the scene.

"Tsk tsk, she's a complicated and troublesome person."

Rod watched until the woman's figure disappeared before turning his gaze away, clicking his tongue in amazement.

The lady is a very troublesome opponent.

He had considered this before he set off from Sumeru.

This is why, upon arriving in Mondstadt, he immediately offered suggestions to the Knights of Favonius on how to deal with the Fatui.

no way.

Because his and the lady's goals were aligned.

And both he and the lady knew Wendy's identity.

This means that they are very likely to face off directly in the struggle for the Heart of God.

Think of this.

Rhodes turned his head and glanced at the void terminal that was following him.

Wendy's Heart of God was placed there, and with Narcida's divine power, it could not only shield the energy fluctuations emitted by the Heart of God, but was also very safe.

Rod was certain of one thing.

After the dragon calamity is quelled, the lady will definitely go and rob Wendy.

So when she discovers that Wendy's Heart of God is no longer there, she will definitely become the target of her suspicion.

Oh no.

I must have already been added to her target list.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes and looked up in one direction.

What caught his attention was not inside the room, but somewhere not far from the house.

Someone is watching me there.

The watcher appeared after Wendy moved in.

However, Rhodes never dealt with him, but simply let him stand there staring at him.

"Let you be arrogant for one more afternoon."

Rod chuckled softly and muttered something under his breath.

He doesn't need to take action.

Someone will help him get rid of this monitor.

As for who this person is.

That depends on who the Knights of Favonius will send; it might just be that nun who specializes in dealing with threats in the dark.

Thoughts return.

Whether you're sitting here or not, you're still sitting.

With Jean's message still pending, a bored Rhodes invited Wendy, "An angel's gift, wanna go?"

"go with!"

Upon hearing that Rod was inviting her for drinks, Wendy tumbled off the sofa and followed him, giggling.

Walking on the streets of Mondstadt.

Rod listened carefully to the sounds around him.

do not know why.

Ever since he obtained Wendy's Heart of God, he felt that his hearing had become much more acute than before, and he could hear sounds that were far away from him very clearly.

This is very similar to how Wendy uses the Thousand Winds to obtain information.

to this end.

Somewhat bewildered, Rhodes even checked all the things he carried with him to make sure he hadn't unknowingly obtained the Eye of the Wind Element.

Rhodes was also certain that he had no affinity for wind elemental power, meaning he couldn't manipulate it.
