Seeker of Teyvat

The person who came was none other than the most 'devout' nun of the West Wind Church, Rosalia.

"If you want to find the Knights, they don't have time now. "Those monsters" are back again. "The indifferent nun glanced at her, or reminded or warned her, and told her a new piece of news.

Barbara was puzzled: "'Those monsters'?" "

"They are the monsters that tried to attack Mondstadt during the Wind Demon Dragon Rebellion."

Paimon's eyes lit up: "Isn't that the Abyss Order?! Are they making moves again?"

She still remembered that after they defeated the Wind Demon Dragon, when they returned to Mondstadt, they heard that monsters had attacked Mondstadt City during the conversation between Qin and Swann Knight, and those monsters were controlled by the Abyss Order.

"Well, they are gathering in the Wolf Territory, and the wolves are restless." Rosaria nodded, without directly confirming Paimon's statement, "The Abyss Order, perhaps... is eyeing the remnants of the "North Wind King Wolf" soul"? As for what it is for, I can't confirm yet. "

Then he continued: "Captain Qin has gone to the Benlang Territory, and I am going to start acting secretly."

"Then, then I'm going too!" Barbara said.

There was a helpless expression in her eyes. Although Rosalia also liked Barbara, the Mondstadt idol, she really didn't like Barbara's fighting ability.

"Captain Qin said that you should stay in the church and do your job as a clergyman." Rosalia rejected Barbara's proposal without mercy.

With a bit of stubbornness in her eyes, Barbara looked at Rosalia: "But, but you are also a clergyman..."

"Huh?" Rosalia didn't know how to answer Barbara for a moment. Even among clergy, there is a distinction between civil and military.

Ying saw Rosalia's helplessness, so she stopped Barbara and said, "Don't worry, I'll help too."

"Yes, we will also go to help Captain Qin!" Little Paimon also responded.

"Well... okay, I feel relieved with you guys here." Perhaps out of trust in Ying, Barbara thought for a while and finally gave up the idea of ​​going out, "But please be careful. May the wind god protect you and keep you safe."

Seeing that Barbara no longer wanted to go out to help, Rosalia yawned, then climbed out the window and left the church.

"That's really her style!"

Outside the Cathedral of West Wind, Wang Daoyi and Dainsleb made a private agreement. Just after they finished their conversation, they saw a nun leaving the church in an unusual way, and then they saw Ying and Paimon coming out.

"How is it? Did you gain anything?" Wang Dao asked.

Ying had no intention of hiding anything, and directly told Wang Daoyi and Dainsreb about the [Lost Statue], [The Tyrant's Grudge], and the monster activities mentioned by Rosaria.

After listening to Ying's story, Dain thought for a moment, then said, "So that's how it is. Has the Abyss Cult launched a new action? It's very likely related to the "Filthy Reversed Idol". Traveler, we also need to go and take a look."

Ying nodded. This was exactly what she wanted to do. After all, she had promised Barbara to help.

Wang Daoyi had even less objection. He was just waiting for the plot to end and then collect his reward.

The small team reached a consensus again and set off towards Benlang Territory.

On the road

"Speaking of which, why did the Abyss Cult go to the Wolf Territory? Are they going to repeat the Tevarin incident?" Little Paimon sat on Wang Daoyi's shoulder and guessed.

"No, it shouldn't be." Dainsreb shook his head and continued to explain, "Unlike the suppressed Osel, the demon god "Andrius" has long been dead. Now it is only his residual soul that is guarding the Wolf Territory. The abyss monsters target the residual soul, perhaps just to dig out some useful information from the mouth of the wind god's followers."

"......!!" An anxious look appeared in Ying's eyes, "That won't do!"

The Wolf King of the North Wind, once the demon god [Andrius], now the king of the wolf [Boreas].

It is not only the oldest remnant of Mondstadt, but also the "adoptive father" of Ying's friend, Lei Ze.

Whether out of protection for the remnant soul of the ancient demon god or for protection for friends and family, Ying would not allow the abyss monsters to harm the North Wind Wolf King.

They quickened their pace and rushed to the Benlang Territory.

After arriving at the Wolf Territory, it was indeed filled with monsters from the Abyss Cult, led by Abyss mages and tool-like Hilichurls.

"Ah! There are indeed monsters from the Abyss Cult." Paimon exclaimed as he looked at the Abyss Wizards and their minions, the Hilichurls, everywhere.

Dai Yin had murderous intent in his eyes, and then he glanced at Wang Daoyi and said, "Let's go, don't underestimate the enemy."

Wang Daoyi felt helpless when Dain glanced at him. He knew that Dain was reminding him of the content of the "transaction", but he didn't want to slack off. After all, as a follower of the God of Rock, since the "contract" of the "transaction" had been reached, he needed to do it.

"Law, Law and Shield!"

The pale golden rock shield spread out over everyone, and Ying felt the long-lost sense of security.

Although there were a large number of Abyss Mages and Hilichurls, they were quickly wiped out under the attack of the crowd, especially Wang Daoyi's Rock Spear. With the spear tip engraved with penetrating runes, no monster could resist. Even those Abyss Mages were wearing elemental shields, but they were still strung together like a gourd.

Cleaned up the monsters and minnows.

"There are so many monsters in this area." Paimon, who disappeared during the battle, appeared first.

Dain's eyes were subtle: "The closer we get to the target, the more enemies there are. This is in line with the style of the Abyss Cult."

Ying frowned, she was a little worried: "We have to find the "King Wolf" quickly."

Paimon: "Yes! Let's go!"

Dai Yin stopped walking and said, "I... won't go."

"Huh? Why? Are you afraid of furry creatures?" Another brilliant idea popped up in Paimon's magical little head.

Ying couldn't hold back her expression: "It shouldn't be this reason..."

Paimon's words made Dainsleb speechless: "It has nothing to do with the 'wolf'. It's just that it was a demon god in the past, but now it serves the Seven Gods. I can't approve of its behavior, and I don't want to deal with it. Besides, being likable is your ability, but I can't do it."

Ying thought thoughtfully: "Dain really doesn't like the Seven Gods."

Wang Dao curled his lips and said nothing.

"Gods are not worth expecting." Dain's eyes were a little cold, but there was no more hostility. "Just take it as my personal advice. Remember, always be vigilant against gods. Don't trust them too much, but don't go down the path of "overthrowing" or "hunting" them either."

The words paused for a while, as if he was thinking about something, and then continued: "Even if it is for the god who stopped you from leaving that year, it is the same."

"Don't trust, and don't hunt... What a twisted idea." Paimon scratched his head, "Does Dain hate the Seven Gods, or does he protect the Seven Gods?"

Ying: “Very contradictory views.”

Wang Daoyi: "..."

Wang Daoyi didn't know what to say about Dain's attitude towards the Seven Gods. He was now tied to Liyue and Zhongli both emotionally and in terms of interests. He didn't want to refute or agree with Dain's statement.

"..." Dain was silent for a while about Paimon and Ying's comments. "It's just a lesson from the past. I will tell you the last fact."

"Huh? What facts?" Paimon asked curiously.

"Kanria is a country destroyed by God, and this is... the reason why the Abyss Cult wants to destroy the Kingdom of the Seven Gods."

fluorescent:"……"

(Is this the reason why the Abyss Cult has been doing everything? Then what is my relationship with the Abyss, the Abyss Apostle who knew me, and Kanreya when my brother woke me up, all of this...)

Ying fell into deep thought.

……

The small talk ended here, and Dain turned and walked out of the Wolf Territory, dealing with the remaining members of the Abyss Cult nearby while investigating the conspiracy of the Abyss Cult.

Ying, Paimon and Wang Daoyi continued to go deeper into the depths, looking for the Knight of Favonius and the "Wolf King".

We agreed to meet at the entrance of Benlang Territory after everything was settled.

On the way to the depths of the Wolf Territory.

"Dain is such a weirdo," Paimon complained.

Ying was silent for a while: "I can understand him a little bit."

Paimon was stunned for a moment, then he remembered something and nodded: "Well, so you are also wary of "strange gods"."

Wang Daoyi also recalled what happened before: "At the Liyue Immortal Summoning Ceremony, your choice was very similar to Dain's... You chose to run away even though it was not you who did it."

Before, when in Liyue, Ying participated in the annual ceremony of summoning the immortals with everyone else. As a result, a dragon fell from the sky that day, and the Rock King Emperor was assassinated.

Ying was wanted as a suspicious person and murderer. If he had not explained it to the immortals in advance, and with the help of Zhongli and Young Master, he would have been killed in Liyue long ago.

Ying blushed a little, but still explained: "At that time, there was a lack of trust with Qixing and it was impossible to negotiate. I was a stranger in a foreign country and just wanted to avoid it."

"Ha, I think you have the potential to become a wanted criminal!"

Wang Daoyi complained.

"Okay, let's keep going!"

Chapter 125: Dishonorable Trial

The three of them advanced in the running wolf territory and soon discovered the traces of the West Wind Knight.

Without doing much to hide, they were also surrounded by the Knights of the West Wind, led by the acting captain, Qin.

"Knight of Honor, Paimon! And His Excellency Wang Daoyi! Why are you here?"

Qin's face looked a little tired. She hadn't rested for a long time.

Not only did she deal with the affairs of Mondstadt City, but she also led people to investigate the monsters in the abyss. Even as powerful as she was, she was still a little tired.

"Ah, Captain Qin! Great, I found you!" Paimon shouted happily.

Ying waved his hand, said hello to Qin, and then said: "We heard from Rosalia that you were fighting here, and Barbara was too worried, so I came over to help."

Qin nodded, Barbara's commission, that's normal.

"Thank you very much. This riot is very strange. The Abyss Cult has surrounded the Wolf Territory. We are preparing to mobilize troops to fight. We just did some reconnaissance in the Wolf Territory and didn't expect to meet you. I heard from Rosalia that their target may be the "Wolf King". "

With a trace of doubt and worry in his eyes, Qin was also considering the purpose of the Abyss Order, "But what is the connection between the Abyss Order... and "King Wolf"...? "

"You don't need a reason to simply make trouble." Paimon stretched out his finger and said casually, "The Abyss Order has made trouble for Tvarin before, so it's not surprising to find trouble for another Wind God's Familiar."

Qin nodded, feeling that what Paimon said made sense: "Yeah, it makes sense..."

At this time, a West Wind knight wearing white armor came over.

"Captain Qin, those monsters are attacking again."

The knight's armor was stained with blood, and it was obvious that he had gone through a difficult battle.

They were originally conducting reconnaissance, but they underestimated the number of monsters in the abyss. Now they are facing off against a steady stream of monsters.

"In short, let us handle all the threats around here." Helplessness flashed in Qin's eyes, and she didn't want to trouble Ying, "The honorary knight and His Excellency Wang Daoyi, please help to confirm the safety of "King Wolf" . "

Ying nodded vigorously, this was exactly the purpose of her coming here: "Yes! Captain Qin, don't worry, leave it to us!"

Ying immediately rushed to the depths of the Wolf Territory, where the sunken altar was the training ground for Andrius, the "Lord of the Wolf".

It is also the resting place of the North Wind Wolf King [Boreas], where Ying once conducted the King Wolf's trial.

Arriving at the altar, the three of them were immediately attracted.

"Look, look over there! It's Lei Ze! And..."Apostle of the Abyss"! "

Paimon exclaimed.

What came into view was Lei Ze holding a big sword, the apostle exuding the aura of the abyss, and the trapped Wolf King.

"You are not welcome here." Lei Ze held a big sword and let out a low roar, like a young wolf whose territory was violated.

Ying drew her sword, flew to the trial altar, and stood side by side with Lei Ze: "Lei Ze! We are here!"

Wang Daoyi looked at the apostle of the abyss, and the light flashed in his eyes. With a move of his hand, the Secret Book of the West Wind appeared beside him, and the pages of the book turned with a rustling sound.

The three of them stood in front of the "King Wolf" and resisted the uninvited guest in front of them.

The Wolf King was bound in place by the magic of the abyss, and his body was covered with iron chains, unable to move.

"Hahaha... The wolf with only a remnant soul actually has the habit of caring for his offspring." The apostle of the abyss teased, "Does he want to be a guard? But his power is obviously not comparable to the sharp claws of the devil."

"But as long as you obey us, you can regain authority comparable to the gods, just like in the past."

Ying was full of fighting spirit: "Stop slandering here! Just put down your hands and punish him!"

"Wolf, don't give in. But, I can't continue." Lei Ze glanced at the trapped "King Wolf" worriedly, with the same fighting spirit.

"No matter how many times you try, your efforts are in vain!"

Ying and Lei Ze stopped listening to the Abyss Apostle's nonsense and took out their weapons and rushed forward.

The apostle of the abyss was very cunning. He deliberately released water in front of him and got hit a few times. He immediately used the water elemental shield method and stood up again.

"Surprisingly...it's different from last time." Ying held the edgeless sword and panted slightly, "Is it because you are hiding your strength and deliberately showing off?"

Lei Ze had blood flowing down his arm, and he was also panting: "Hoo, ho! Lupika, protect."

The apostle of the abyss laughed, as long as there was a water shield, there was nothing the two of them could do against it.
