Although Aberdo's trial had some pre-arranged elements, the battle of wits and courage in the courtroom was still quite interesting.

Although Little Dulin became much more composed after turning into a human, deep down he was still the lively and energetic little dragon from Himulanka.

He always maintained a sense of curiosity about things he had never seen before.

Meanwhile, outside the Martial Soul Temple in Heaven Dou City, a makeshift trial platform had been set up.

Salas and his cronies were brought to trial.

The common people of Tiandou City were also very surprised to see that the person brought to trial was none other than the Platinum Bishop Salas.

You should know that even Emperor Xueye had to give Salas some face, given his status.

Even knowing he had done many bad things, no one could do anything to him, and his trusted subordinates were even worse.

"Is the Spirit Hall about to begin its self-purification? If it can resolutely carry it out, perhaps it can be reborn."

Sino approves of this self-cleansing attitude, but has doubts about whether it can be implemented.

The Spirit Hall is now too powerful to be controlled. Without the determination of a warrior cutting off his own arm, it is impossible to carry out the self-purification.

However, considering that the Angel God has been resurrected due to the Sky Curtain reward, and with the Angel God as the backbone, perhaps it is really possible to continue.

The scene then shifts, and the traveler and Paimon arrive at Stargazing Cliff.

At that moment, a green figure stood there, waiting for their arrival.

"Wendy, so it was you who called us here."

"Hehe, long time no see, Traveler, Paimon. But Paimon, you guessed wrong!"

"It wasn't him, it was me!"

Talia walked over.

"Huh? What are you doing here? Do you two know each other? Oh right, what's your name again...?"

Paimon didn't remember Talia's name at all; in fact, many people watching the Sky Curtain also overlooked Talia.

After all, during the court hearing just now, Talia was just a background character, only exchanging a few words with Qin.

"Heh, you have a terrible memory. I am Talia, a deacon of the Church of the West Wind, and the preacher of Lord Barbatos, the Wind God. Remember that!"

"Why did you call us here to see Wendy?"

"You are a legendary knight of honor, and you seem quite confused. Let's talk about it."

"Besides, as Lord Barbatos's preacher, I should at least keep an eye out for Lord Wind God regarding this serious case that has such a heinous nature and impacts the people's livelihood."

As she spoke, Talia glanced at Wendy.

"Wait, do you know...?"

Paimon looked surprised again.

"Heh, what do you know? The tavern's best friend, the gossip of the streets, dear Wendy—is that Lord Barbatos?"

Talia's words on the sky surprised the people of Douluo Continent even more.

It's really hard to associate Wendy with the word "god".

However, considering that the Little Lucky Grass King of the Order Academy is still a child, and the Wind God looks like a dissolute young man, it doesn't seem so unacceptable.

Ouyang Kong then asked the Great Tree King, "Great Tree King, what is your impression of Barbatos?"

"That Anemo Archon? He's very lively and interesting, quite different from the Geo Archon of Liyue. I don't know much about him, but he says he's the weakest of the seven Archons. But I know he actually hides a lot of power."

"The power of time! It can blow the Silent Sea out of timeline; it certainly cannot be deduced by common sense."

The Great Tree King did not respond. Although she was not in Teyvat, she avoided discussing the topic of the Four Shadows as much as possible.

On the screen, the topic finally returned to Abedor, as not many people in Mondstadt knew of Abedor's identity as a homunculus.

"I already knew about it when Alice and Rheindott first sent Aberdo to Mondstadt. After all, it was a visit from someone of that caliber, so I naturally didn't dare to be negligent."

Alice's reputation made her a dangerous figure in the eyes of the Seven Gods, making the entire Witch Guild a dangerous group.

"The Son of Chalk, the perfect artificial life form—all the current developments in the case are leading people to consider Abedo's motives, and his identity has become a weakness."

Talia chimed in, "If androids go out of control and lose their minds, how would novels describe it? People would think the same thing."

"Abel himself once said that humanity not only yearns for transcendence and miracles, but also needs 'ordinariness'."

"Those who are different from me are considered outsiders; this is a very common phenomenon."

"Things can't be that simple, Wendy. Do you know something?"

The traveler looked at Wendy, who smiled and gently plucked a string, producing a beautiful melody.

"I know that Abedo is a homunculus, I know that many strange things have happened in Mondstadt recently, and I know that it is the Wind Flower Festival, a day for drinking, singing and partying."

"So you've also noticed that many people in Mondstadt have changed in personality and behavior. What's going on?"

"There is no more love to sing praises; only narratives of disaster remain in the valleys. Who would accept such a fate? Has the savior not yet arrived?"

Wendy suddenly started singing a short poem, which was definitely an implication of something; Barbatos's penchant for hiding wasn't new.

"This story is a necessary test; someone has to overcome difficulties. In the face of fate, the seven ruling parties should also give it respect."

But alas! Is there any kind soul who can help that dear friend? If anything were to happen to him, the entire city of Mondstadt would be in trouble.

Both the Traveler and Paimon rolled their eyes at Wendy; it was obvious they were making him do the work.

"Hmph! I knew you were up to no good!"

"Since you are the Knight of Honor and his best companions, I've also prepared a small gift for you."

Wendy pulled out Klee's Bouncing Bomb, startling Paimon.

"Ah! A bomb!"

"No, it's a Dudu communicator. I borrowed it for two days. With it and a little trick of mine, we can stay in touch anytime."

"I will find out the truth!"

"Thank you, the wind will always be with you."

After finishing their business, Talia said to Wendy, "I've never seen Lord Barbatos so serious before. I wonder if I'll have the honor of witnessing it this time?"

"Why are you saying that Barbatos can do something amazing when he gets serious?"

"Isn't that so? I have complete faith in Lord Barbatos."

"Really? Then why don't you go to church and pray?"

"Sure! I could say I treated him to three drinks last month and listened to his ramblings three times..."

"Alright! Never mind Barbatos, you'll still buy me drinks later, right! Right!"

Wendy truly lives up to his nickname of "alcoholic".
