Do you think I haven't read the plot? Or... is there something wrong with the plot?
Su Mo really didn't expect Diluk's answer. He couldn't understand why Diluk answered like that.
Su Mo? It seems that he is the stranger who drove away the Wind Dragon during the day. Who would have thought that the Knights would actually send him, an honorary knight, to track down the bard? What is going on?
Looking expressionlessly at the black-haired boy named Su Mo in front of him, Diluk guessed so. He was now more interested in what the bard had done.
"But he really asked me to meet him here during the day. I don't think he would break his promise. Besides, he might be on the second floor and you just didn't see him."
Su Mo looked at Diluk with some suspicion and could only say this.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Su Mo, I have been staying in my tavern since just now, and my bartender Charles has been here all day and also didn't see the bard you mentioned."
Now Diluk was even more certain of Su Mo's purpose. If that was the case, it would be even less likely that he would hand over the bard.
"Honorary Knight, have you found the thief's accomplice who stole the Sky Harp? We didn't find any trace of them just now."
Su Mo: “…”
Just then, one of the knights walked in.
"No, I was just asking Master Diluk about this, and he said that there was no one we were looking for in the tavern."
After saying that, Su Mo pointed at Diluk in front of him, but Diluk didn't react.
"Well, I'll go look somewhere else first, Honor Knight, be safe."
"Do not worry!"
Looking at the knight's departing back, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, Su Mo, come here."
As soon as the knight left, Paimon appeared at the stairs. This made Su Mo feel a little strange. What was Diluk doing just now?
Hmm? They... know each other? And... the Sky Harp?
Watching the strange elf bringing Su Mo up, Diluk found that he seemed to have guessed wrong, and the Sky Harp that the Knight of Favonius just mentioned made him even more confused.
"Don't let anyone in. We're closed. Do you understand?"
"I see."
After saying these words, Diluk also walked up. He wanted to find out what the hell was going on.
"What's wrong? Wendy, why do you look so worried?"
As soon as Su Mo came in, he saw that Wendy looked worried and was a little curious.
"It's okay, it's okay. Come on, how about a drink?"
Seeing that Su Mo had arrived here, Wendy also calmed down.
His original plan was to use Ying and Su Mo to complete the plan of treating Tevarin. After all, they are both popular knights of the Knights of Favonius now, and many things will be much simpler with them.
However, in order to give Morax a good explanation in the future, he did not let Su Mo participate in stealing the Sky Harp. Besides, it was not appropriate to have too many people involved in such a matter, so he called Su Mo here after completing the task of stealing the Sky Harp.
But what he never expected was that not only did he fail to steal the Sky Harp, but he, the God of Wind, would become a substitute.
So just now he was also wondering, who was secretly impersonating him behind the scenes, and what was the purpose of doing so?
To rule Mondstadt?
Or is it to lure out this wind god who has disappeared for a thousand years?
Or is it some other unspeakable secret?
He thought about these possibilities over and over again, but he still couldn't be sure, because all of them were possible, but he thought the most likely one was to lure him out.
Because no matter who you are, once you know that someone is impersonating you, the real person will definitely come out, unless he is dead or just slacking off.
Wendy wanted to take advantage of this, but he would be unable to sleep or eat if he didn't get to the bottom of this matter. Since the other party was pretending to be him, he must be after something extraordinary.
And did the other party steal the Sky Lyre in order to win over Tevarin? After all, with Tevarin, the authenticity of the so-called wind god would be even higher.
"Put down the wine you stole from behind the cupboard."
Just when Su Mo wanted to say something, Diluk also came up.
"Okay, you should answer my questions properly."
"Let me finish my drink first, I'll pay the bill... Yeah, I'll pay it off with my performance."
Looking at Diluk coming up from behind, Venti thought of a solution.
"It's not about money. You don't look old enough to buy alcohol."
Diluk doesn't care about such things.
"You can rest assured about that. You were still there when I was drinking——"
"It's better to clarify their identities first."
Diluk had no interest in hearing anything else the bard had to say; he wanted to first clarify the identities of the people present.
"Let me first explain your identity to them. This is Master Diluc, the big boss behind the tavern owner. As for these two, they are the hottest newcomers of the Knights of Favonius."
"Oh? So these two new recruits of the Knights went to the church and stole the Sky Harp?"
Diluk's words sounded somewhat sarcastic.
"We didn't steal it. The real culprit is someone else—"
Paimeng was very unhappy to hear this and immediately denied it.
"Master Diluc, think about it, these two are the hottest newcomers in the Knights, why would they steal Mondstadt's holy relics?"
Wendy also quickly spoke up for the two of them.
"The Sky Harp you mentioned..."
"Hey, I'll tell you later."
Seeing that Su Mo was curious about what Diluk said, Wendy planned to explain it to him later, after all, he didn't know about it yet.
"Yes, as a traveler, he is willing to lend a helping hand to Mondstadt in distress. However, it is a pity for such a person to join the Knights' Order."
Regardless of what happened with the Skyharp, he still admired the two strangers who protected Mondstadt, but he didn't have such thoughts about the Knights of Favonius: "The Knights of Favonius... have always been timid and inefficient when it comes to the issue of the Wind Dragon. They are also weak and conservative in diplomacy towards the Fatui. Well... Forget it, I don't want to bring up this topic either."
"It seems that Master Diluc doesn't like the Knights of the West Wind very much."
"We just took different paths. I have my own expectations for the city of Mondstadt. So answer my question. Why did you steal the Sky Harp?"
Regardless, he was still very interested in the fact that they stole the Sky Harp.
"Do you really want to know? You might get into trouble with the Knights."
Although this was the question that Venti wanted to see from Diluk, he still asked it.
"...Heh, I'm not afraid of trouble. I am the trouble of the Knights."
Diluk has never been afraid of the Knights of Favonius.
"So, if I were to play a true story, would you believe me?"
Venti had already expected Diluk's reaction. He had to recruit more people. After all, Kallen sounded a little difficult to deal with.
"Depending on the circumstances, I will make that judgement."
"So - you'll pay me for my performance?"
Although the situation was a bit urgent, Wendy still wanted to earn some money for drinks from Diluk.
"The reward ranges from 5 Mora to the Sky Lyre, depending on your story."
Problems that can be solved with money are never problems, and Diluk is not stingy with such things.
"Very good, I'll add one more game—"
(The story I want to tell begins... The sky dragon seeks answers... Heeds the call...)
Soon, Wendy finished playing the narrative poem.
"What on earth was the epic poem just now..."
It was the first time that Diluk heard the truth about the Wind Dragon, and he was a little shocked.
"How is it, Master Diluk?"
"Interesting, give me..."
"No, it's not that simple. There's one thing I didn't tell you just now. The girl who stole the Sky Harp claimed to be the messenger of the God of Wind. But as far as I know, the God of Wind has no messengers. But it doesn't matter. Even if she gets the Sky Harp, she can't use it. After thousands of years, the wind element on the Sky Harp has long been weak. So we might as well find a way to release the Sky Harp's repair method to lure out the so-called messenger of the God of Wind, and then we can ambush her."
Seeing that Diluk had joined them, Venti also told them her plan.
No matter what the girl's purpose was in taking the Sky Harp, she would eventually use it. However, due to the passage of time, the Sky Harp could no longer be used, so Wendy guessed that the girl would definitely find a way to repair it, otherwise the fake Wind God's plan would definitely be hindered, and they could also use this breakthrough to find her out.
[Task updated, steal (rob) the materials for repairing the Sky Harp in front of everyone, and warn them not to try to defy the will of the Wind God again, otherwise they will be punished by the Wind God! ]
Su Mo: “…”
PS: I saw someone say that I only updated one chapter yesterday and didn't finish it, but I want to say that it was a 6,000-word chapter, which I have already paid off. Some people also questioned whether I could pay off the bounty. Although it's a bit difficult to update four times a day, it's still possible to update three times a day. Now this 5,000-word chapter is close to the content of three chapters, so I can still write four chapters.
In addition, I may have accepted the rule by default. Let me make it clear here that the reward will be settled from today to Thursday. Sorry for not making it clear! ! ! If you mind, don't vote. Anyway, there are two updates every day.
But I really didn't expect the 150 blades invested in "@算天", thank you very much. In fact, you guys can just cast a recommendation vote, anyway, I can pay it back soon which is pretty good.
Data before the reward: Recommended votes: 3906 Monthly votes: 163 Blades: 38

"The Messenger of the Wind God?"
"What's wrong? Master Diluk, have you also heard such rumors?"
Hearing Diluk say this, Venti felt a little strange and asked quickly. After all, he also wanted to find the answer to this question.
"Yes, I heard this from an Abyss Mage yesterday."
Seeing the bard asking himself this question, Diluk had no intention of hiding anything.
"Abyss Mage? Isn't that the organization that Wendy mentioned before?"
At this time, Paimon remembered what Wendy had told them before, and couldn't help being a little surprised.
"Is the Abyss Mage looking for the long-lost Wind God?"
Su Mo on the side also expressed his opinion.
"It seems that you are much more interesting than I thought, but I am not sure whether they are looking for the trace of the God of Wind. I only know that they are looking for the messenger of the God of Wind."
Diluk didn't expect that everyone present knew about the Abyss Mage, and he was a little surprised. If he didn't have an intelligence network, it would be difficult for him to know such things.
"Let's not talk about whether the Abyss Mage is looking for the whereabouts of the Wind God. I just want to say that the Wind God's messenger is fake. It's even possible that it was created by those guys."
Seeing that no one thought that the identity of the Wind God's Messenger was fake, Wendy had to lead everyone that way.
He may not know other things, but he knows this matter best. After all, he is the God of Wind himself - Barbatos.
"Oh? Why did you say that?"
If the bard hadn't said so, Diluk really wouldn't have thought about this question, because he subconsciously believed that the messenger of the god of wind was real.
"Since Master Diluc asked this question sincerely, I'll tell you what I think. First, think about it. Let alone the Harp of the Sky, even the entire Mondstadt is the kingdom of the wind god Barbatos. Although he gave up his rule for freedom, he still has a family in Mondstadt... and believers of the old man. So why would he send a messenger to steal the Harp of the Sky? This is unreasonable, right? He could have taken it himself, and no one would have stopped him..."
"What if this wind god is a lazy guy? Just like me, if someone helps me run errands, I don't want to go far away by myself. Ying, do you think I'm right?"
Paimon felt that what Wendy said was not right. If he were the God of Wind, he would not have come to get the Sky Harp himself.
fluorescent:"......"
Wendy: “…”
"I seem to have heard someone say that the Wind God Barbatos appeared in Mondstadt some time ago. I wonder if it has anything to do with the Wind God's Messenger this time?"
Seeing that everyone was thinking about the question of the Wind God's Messenger, Su Mo told them what he had heard.
"Yes, the God of Wind did appear in Mondstadt some time ago, but it was because of a mysterious white-haired girl at that time."
Nodding slowly, Diluk indicated that what Su Mo said was indeed true.
"White-haired girl? What does her dress look like?"
Speaking of the white-haired girl Ying, I remembered the so-called messenger of the wind god that I saw in the basement just now.
Although the messenger of the God of Wind had been standing in the dark and had not come out at that time, Ying still vaguely noticed that her hair was white and she was wearing black clothes, so she quickly asked.
Of course, there is also a white-haired girl that Ying will never forget. If it weren’t for her, the two siblings would have left here long ago.
