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

When Kaeya was mentioned again, Diluc's expression became somewhat unnatural, but he still admitted that he and Kaeya had exchanged information.

"Behind these Abyss Orders, there is a leader. Did he tell you that?"

Rod quietly dropped another bombshell.

This news was also confirmed by Diluc.

"He said that."

The answer remained concise and to the point.

As he spoke, Diluc's expression darkened considerably, becoming even more serious than when he heard the truth about his father's death.

Wind Demon Dragon, the Abyss Order, the Fools, the Wind God.

In addition, the Grand Master was absent, and the elite of the Knights of Favonius were also missing.

This is a complete mess.

The Stormterror has gone berserk, attacking various parts of Mondstadt. Trade routes have been disrupted, monsters are rampaging, and towns are uninhabitable. Today, it even directly attacked Mondstadt City. In the meantime, it has already caused unimaginable damage to Mondstadt City.

The Abyss Order is inciting the Stormterror to attack Mondstadt, and the unknown leader is even more unsettling; no one can be sure what he is plotting.

The Fools exerted strong diplomatic pressure on the Knights of Favonius, targeting the Wind God directly. Their intentions were unclear, but could only be confirmed as malicious.

The Wind God was busy appeasing the Wind Demon Dragon, but due to his recent severe injuries, he was powerless to protect himself and needed to be on high alert against the attacks of the Fools.

This chaotic situation.

This gave Diluc a real headache.

"Kaeya, go deal with the Abyss Order. You stay and hold off the Fatui. I'll take Jean and Luminosity and work with Venti to appease Stormterror."

"There's nothing to worry about."

“Your Mondstadt is indeed short-handed right now, but you’re not at the point where you’re helpless.”

Rhodes had barely finished speaking.

Diluc immediately shook his head: "You make it sound so simple."

Putting aside how difficult it is to find the Abyss Order hidden in the shadows, just the fact that he has to confront the Fools without causing diplomatic problems is already a headache enough.

Not to mention the Tvalin issue that still needs to be resolved.

Compared to Rhodes, an outsider unrelated to Mondstadt.

Diluc has more to consider.

What if we can't find the leader of the Order of the Abyss? What if the Fatui cause a ruckus and involve the Knights of Favonius?

If you don't plan ahead, these things will cause more trouble later on.

Looking at Diluc, who had been frowning and remained silent.

Rhodes didn't bother Diluc any further, and quietly waited for him to finish thinking.

that's it.

It wasn't until dawn that we heard this.

Diluc finally stood up, nodded to Rhodes, and said, "Leave the Fatui to me. I'll also talk to Kaeya about him, as well as Stormterror and Anemo Hydra."

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll leave their affairs to you. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to Dawn Winery to find me. If you can't find me, you can leave a message for my butler, Eze."

"okay, I get it."

Rhodes waved goodbye with a smile to Diluc, who was quickly disappearing into the streets.

With the new cooperation agreement reached, the lady's problem was basically solved, and Rod was in high spirits, shaking off the fatigue of not sleeping all night.

just now.

There's only one problem left.

"That abyss mage who bewitched Dvalin, we need to think about that carefully."

Rhodes, just like Diluc had been, was lost in deep thought, muttering to himself.

Killing an abyss mage is easy.

But the real trouble lies in how to kill the abyss mage without further enraging Dvalin.

174. Diluc, who went to confront the perpetrators in Chapter 167

Chapter 167 Diluc Goes to Demand Justice

Wendy is related to the wind god.

After Ying and Paimon got up, Rod said it straight to the point.

"Ah, you are Barbatos, the god of wind?"

Upon hearing this news, Luminous and Paimon were speechless. Paimon even circled around Wendy repeatedly, unable to believe what Rhodes had said.

What kind of person is Wendy?

Although their contact time was short, Ying and Paimon saw things very clearly.

This guy is a complete slacker who does nothing and is addicted to alcohol.

"Hey~~"

Wendy, as always, chuckled as her response to Paimon.

The task of explaining was left to Rhodes.

"Don't you all think about it? Besides Barbatos, who else dares to say they can calm down Stormterror with just music?" Rhodes then reminded Ying, "Do you remember what name Dvalin shouted during the battle?"

Ying blinked: "Barbatos."

That said.

She remembered it too.

During the battle with Dvalin, the enraged Dvalin would shout "Barbatos" the entire time, in addition to roaring.

At that time, she always thought that Dvalin was obsessed with the wind god, which was why he kept calling out Barbatos during battle.

Could it be that.

"Yes."

"The reason we can fly in the sky for so long is because of Barbatos's power. Dvalin realized this, which is why he keeps roaring at Barbatos."

Rhodes spread his hands and said, "He mistakenly thought we were sent by the Wind God to hunt him down."

"Actually, it's about the same."

Wendy muttered something to herself.

It is an indisputable fact that Dvalin was injured by Rhodes.

Of course.

Rod is right.

Compared to Dvalin's massive body, let alone the half-meter-diameter wound that Rhodes inflicted, even a hole several meters wide wouldn't be life-threatening. That attack was at most a troublesome injury.

This attack does not involve the power of the abyss.

He will heal himself in no time.

However, such a battle could easily be misunderstood as Wendy sending people to hunt him down, which would cause considerable trouble for subsequent appeasement.

There is such proof.

Ying and Paimon quickly accepted Wendy's identity.

After that, Ying couldn't wait to ask a lot of questions.

She asked everything she wanted to know, from the whereabouts of her brother to the matter of Dvalin and the other gods.

Ying stopped when Rod called them to have breakfast, still looking thoughtful.

The disaster relief efforts in Mondstadt are still ongoing, and no restaurants are open.

After going out for a walk, Rod decided to make breakfast himself.

This surprise attack by Tvalin.

Although he was driven away before he caused trouble for long, the hurricane he unleashed still caused great disaster to Mondstadt.

According to preliminary statistics from the virtual terminal.

This wave is coming.

Mondstadt lost at least hundreds of millions of Mora, more than a hundred buildings were damaged, and the number of injured was in the thousands.

The only good news.

It's possible that not many people died in this storm, and the number is still within a manageable range.

This was thanks to Teyvat being a world with extraordinary powers, and the Knights of Favonius having prepared in advance for the possibility of Dvalin attacking the city.

if not.

The casualties would be even greater, and then the Knights of Favonius would find it difficult to withstand the surging public anger.

After listening to Rhodes recount the current state of Mondstadt.

Paimon, who was always laughing and joking, shut his mouth and couldn't say anything more.

Ying also lost the excitement she had when she first found the Wind God.

Breakfast was rather dull.

To say that one can still maintain a calm mind at this time is an understatement.

Instead, it was Venti, the god of Mondstadt.

Rhodes originally thought that seeing Mondstadt suffer heavy losses, Venti, the Wind God, would at least be somewhat saddened or depressed.

However in fact.
