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

"This is not an easy task; I need some help."

"It just so happens that you are just like me, able to ignore the poisonous blood and filth on Dvalin's body, making you the most suitable person to help me."

Rod said it half-truthfully.

Anyway, as long as the reasons seem sufficient, that's enough. Saying too much might lead to slips of the tongue, so this is just right.

"Help Dvalin escape from his suffering?"

Ying thought for a moment, then solemnly asked a question: "Who is Dvalin?"

"Uh"

Didn't I tell you?

Rod paused for a moment, then scratched his head and asked.

"without"

"That's the guy who just got chased away."

"what?"

This time, it was Ying's turn to be unsettled.

Recalling Rhodes's attack, which seemed to have wanted to kill Dvalin on the spot, she asked in confusion, "Does the Wind God want you to kill him?"

"no."

Realizing that his earlier attack on Dvalin was a misunderstanding, Rhodes explained, "What we need to do is cleanse Dvalin of the poisonous blood, hmm."

Rhodes looked around and realized there were no more crystals left to use as a demonstration.

So he could only gesture and say, "Those two purple things behind Dvalin, you remember them? Those are the things. Even though I hit him hard, a large chunk of the poisonous blood that was corroding him was broken up. He's probably feeling much better now than before."

Once you put it that way, Ying understood.

Without much thought, she asked only one question.

"If I agree, you'll take me to see the Wind God, right?"

"Well, that's for sure."

"Okay, I promise you."

Chapter 165 The Night Knight's Night Visit

Return to the ground.

Paimon, who had been worried for a long time, immediately threw himself into Ying's arms and sobbed, "Why did it take you so long to come back? I thought something had happened to you."

"sorry that I had you worried."

Ying patted Paimon's head and gently comforted her.

They comforted each other and were very happy.

And the other side.

The situation was completely reversed for Rhodes and Wendy.

"I'm telling you, please stop acting like this."

"You know how big Tvalin is. My shot at most made a hole in him, it won't have any impact."

Rhodes's ability to comfort people has always been worrisome.

That's how it used to be.

It's the same now.

After hearing his words, Wendy looked like she was about to cry.

You said you were going to help Dvalin purify his poisonous blood, fine, but you actually punched a hole in him. What kind of nonsense is that?

Wendy even felt a slight pang of regret, regretting that he shouldn't have lent Rhodes his wind elemental power.

But let me think about it again.

What Rod said makes a lot of sense.

Compared to physical pain, mental anguish was clearly more unbearable for Dvalin.

Wasn't it precisely because the Abyss Mage couldn't bear this kind of mental torment that he was able to successfully bewitch him into becoming an enemy of Mondstadt?

So, from this perspective, it's actually a good thing that Rhodes shattered a large chunk of Abyssal Poison Blood.

At least Tvalin is now under much less mental burden.

not to mention.

Wendy and Rod thought of the same thing.

"Without the torment of poisonous blood, it will be easier for you to soothe him with the Sky Harp."

In summary...

Can this barely be considered good news?

After listening to Rod's words.

Wendy couldn't help but feel a bit dumbfounded.

"Okay."

"Stop looking so sad, the Knights of Favonius are here."

Rod patted Wendy on the shoulder and gestured with his chin towards the front.

Stormterror was defeated.

There must have been some witnesses to this incident.

Although ordinary people cannot see the battle in the sky, some people did see Rhodes and Ying, who later flew up to help, when the initial low-altitude battle began.

The Knights of Favonius acted swiftly.

While organizing people to provide disaster relief throughout Mondstadt, they also sent people to find Rhodes and Ying.

The person who came was an acquaintance.

"It's truly unexpected that the two of you possess such formidable combat power."

Kaiya didn't hold back her praise, clapping for Rhodes and Ying as they walked.

But when he came to Ying's side.

He still managed to use his strengths and asked several questions in succession.

The usual routine: first ask for her identity and name, then what she came to Mondstadt for, and finally praise Ying once again.

After he had finished speaking,

He then invited Ying to join him at the Knights of Favonius.

Ying did not refuse.

However, she didn't follow Kaeya, but instead followed Rhodes, looking at him as if she was afraid that he would break his promise and not take her to find the Wind God.

soon.

The group then arrived at the regimental commander's office.

When they entered, Qin was still in a meeting, assigning various tasks to the knights' squads remaining in the city, including but not limited to disaster relief, setting up temporary camps, and distributing relief food.

Rhodes stood aside and listened for a while.

have to say.

Qin's personal abilities are indeed very strong.

Although she was indeed somewhat inferior to the title of "Lion of the South Wind" in terms of personal martial prowess, she was incredibly experienced in handling political affairs, so much so that it was hard to believe she was only nineteen years old.

This left Rhodes unsure whether to criticize Jean's exceptional abilities or to praise Falgar, the Grand Master, for being a good hands-off manager.

Wait until the meeting is over.

After all the squad leaders left, Qin finally had time to talk to Rhodes and the others.

Before speaking.

She first drank a cup of strong coffee.

Rhodes sniffed.

Based on his experience in studying pharmaceuticals, this cup of coffee must have been made with at least three packets of coffee powder, and no sugar was added at all; the flavor was so strong it was almost pungent.

Keqin seemed oblivious to this, downing half a cup in one gulp. Feeling a little better, she thanked Luo De and Ying, saying, "Thank you both for your help earlier."

Say it.

She then turned to Ying: "Welcome to Mondstadt, travelers who have come with the wind. I am so sorry that you have encountered such a thing as soon as you arrived in Mondstadt."

After exchanging a few polite words with Ying.

Qin then looked at Rod and said, "Mr. Rod, is this Miss Ying the traveler you mentioned earlier?"

"Ah."

"She was the helper I invited, but she arrived a little late."

Rod quietly gave Ying'an an identity.

"Hey, when did you invite Ying?"

"We are clearly just..."

Before Paimon could finish speaking, Ying covered her mouth and gestured with her eyes for her to stop talking.

Qin could naturally see that Rhodes was talking nonsense and was only saying this to give Ying a reasonable identity.

However, she didn't say anything, but just nodded: "In that case, I can rest assured."
