Wendy was playing a trick on him. With his abilities, how could he not know that the people who came were the travelers Paimon and Abedo, not ordinary people?

"It's about time to begin. Let's do it the way we agreed."

"Yeah, I think so too. Sigh, it's been a long time since I've handled such a big scene. I expect it will be very tiring."

"I will definitely treat you to drinks, so please don't worry."

As Abedo spoke in a serious tone, Wendy immediately changed her expression.

"Hehe, I'm relieved to hear that."

"As expected, you all knew each other's identities."

Wendy looked at Paimon: "It's necessary for important people to communicate their identities."

Wendy then looked in the direction of the Dragon Ridge Mountains.

"During the court hearing just now, the monster came from Dragonspine Snow Mountain and became extremely violent again. It is likely because your core was just suppressed."

I just didn't expect the monsters in the snow mountain to have evolved to that extent.

"Purification has always been an awe-inspiring thing, especially since Dulin devoured my imposter."

Paimon then asked about the truth of the whole case, and the people watching the celestial canopy also wanted to know the answer.

Aberdo didn't hide anything and directly explained the truth of what happened.

"It's true that the eyewitnesses saw me hiding the body. I've been observing the snow-capped mountains. Some people disappear in the snow-capped mountains and their personalities change drastically after they come back."

Some of them were better off, merely affected by Durin's power, while others had been devoured and replaced by monsters, infiltrating Mondstadt.

Most of the people who are replaced have no relatives, so even if they have abnormal temperaments, they will not attract much attention.

The monster used the image of the replaced person to approach the others; I dealt with two that tried to attack.

Even if Abedo were to reveal this truth, few would believe it.

Therefore, if Abedo wants to prove his innocence, he must expose the anthropomorphic monster in public.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly in the end, otherwise Aberdo would never have been able to get rid of this stigma.

"So, those hairs, teeth, and bones are all from the victims?"

Paimon was clearly still a little scared. These kinds of monsters that can disguise themselves are indeed frightening, and many horror movies use this kind of theme.

"Yes, the monsters devoured them, slowly digested them, and even left some remains as support for their transformation. The first victim left behind his hair, and the second left behind his bones and teeth."

"What was destroyed was the monster's body; the remains and the burial rituals belonged to the victims."

As the Wind God, Venti was still somewhat saddened to see his people killed. He couldn't monitor everyone in Mondstadt at all times, even under the guise of protection.

Mondstadt is a free city-state, and it cannot go against its own free will.

Otherwise, he would have become the tornado demon god and tower king that he overthrew.

"Someone always has to do something, and I also got the corrupt information, which was very useful."

Abeldo, as expected of Witch R's creation, is very rational and not swayed by emotions.

"Recently, the activity of Dulin's heart has increased further. Monsters are all his, and he even dragged the corpse of the failed product that I killed to him to devour."

After consuming the failed product, he inherited its thought process, and the monsters he created afterward learned to disguise themselves.

Furthermore, those who have recently entered or left the snow-capped mountains have all been affected by Dulin's power to some extent, and this effect is not immediately apparent, nor is the extent of the harm possible to assess.

"The reason why those people have been acting strangely lately is because the power of Dulin that was lurking within them has just been unleashed, controlling their minds and causing considerable trouble for the Knights."

Aberdo and Wendy's words also illustrate the problems Mondstadt is currently facing.

The monsters themselves aren't a major problem, but those controlled by Durin's power will make the Knights hesitant to act, thus tying up a large number of their forces. That's why the Wind God Barbatos has to step in.

Wendy took out her harp and began to play beautiful music, which then filled the entire city of Mondstadt with a whirlwind.

The wind field can not only restrain ordinary people controlled by Dulin's power, but also allow people to fly freely with wind wings, and even communicate through the wind.

"The wind farm is ready, can everyone hear me?"

"No problem. How are the other teams doing?"

The ensemble leader's voice came from the wind.

"We need backup here!"

"Support is ready, we'll be there soon."

"Warriors protected by the wind god, this is a gift from Barbatos, the wind god. We will surely win this battle."

The Knights of Favonius were in high spirits, as they genuinely felt the support from their god.

Wendy then bent down and whispered, "Actually, you can whisper to each other even when you're not facing the wind."

"Is it really okay to be so secretive?"

Paimon said irritably, arms crossed.

"Where is this from...?"

"Wendy! So Wendy's here too!"

Talia's voice came from the wind field.

"I was just a passing bard, thanks to Abedo, the traveler and Paimon for saving me."

On the other side, Talia chuckled inwardly upon hearing Wendy's voice: "Those nuns in the church who worship Barbatos, if they knew that Barbatos was Wendy, they'd probably feel like the sky is falling."

Then the camera zooms out, bringing the entire city of Mondstadt into view. Diluc and Kaeya are guarding the gates, blocking the monsters' frontal attack.

These two brothers, whose relationship is somewhat strange, actually work together quite well.

Amber and Mika, on the other hand, were on the city wall, dealing with the monsters there while observing their movements and providing firsthand intelligence.

Meanwhile, at the Church of the West Wind, Barbara is treating the wounded, and the recovered knights will return to the battlefield.

Bennett, Noelle, Razer, Lisa the Rose Witch, and other members of the Adventurers' Guild are also taking action to deal with the monsters.

Diona of the Cat's Tail Tavern is responsible for taking in people seeking refuge.

"Senior Lisa, it's been so long since I've seen her. She's still the same as ever. We should encourage her to visit our teacher in Sumeru more often."

As Seno looked at Lisa, who had transformed into the Thunder King on the sky, a smile appeared on his lips.

Meanwhile, Seno secretly sent a telepathic message to Qian Renxue, who was judging Salas.

"Get the victims' relatives to come forward and testify against him. If he is truly heinous, there will certainly be many victims' relatives. Whether you can convince those relatives depends on your own abilities."

Qian Renxue recognized the voice as Senuo's and looked in his direction.

"Mr. Seno, thank you, I understand what to do."
