Diluk turned around and his pupils shrank slightly.
Because the person who came in was Arthur, no, it should be said that it was the 'God of Wind' dressed up by Wendy.
Chapter 24: Inside the Tavern
"Hey, what are you two running for?"
After Arthur came in and saw Diluk, he did not greet Diluk immediately. Instead, he flashed directly between Venti and Ying, hooking them with his arms, one in each hand.
Everything was fine originally. Although the harp was taken away by the Warlock of Thunder Ying, all they had to do was go to the Fatui together with the Knights to seek an explanation. Although the other party would not admit it, they could just secretly get the harp back while arguing.
This time, even though they clearly did nothing, Ying and Wendy took the blame for their actions.
Ying and Wendy could only smile awkwardly. They couldn't say that they were feeling guilty.
"Can you explain to me what's going on?"
Diluk saw that the 'God of Wind' had not paid any attention to him, and judging from the situation, this new honorary knight and bard of Mondstadt did not seem to be the thief of the piano, so he asked Arthur his questions.
As the 'Dark Knight' of Mondstadt, Diluk has always been wary of everything, but the person in front of him could not be associated with a bad person in any way. The only thing he could think of was that the God of Wind had appeared. Although the other party did not clearly state his identity, his intuition told him that this person was definitely not an ordinary person.
(Wendy: So what about me?)
"what."
The three of them suddenly remembered that they were still in Diluk's tavern, but had left Diluk, the host, aside. Ying didn't know Diluk's identity and just thought of him as a kind-hearted person who helped her, but Venti knew that in Mondstadt, no matter who had ill intentions towards Mondstadt, Diluk was protecting Mondstadt in his own way.
"Well, let me tell you then."
Wendy volunteered to tell Diluk the cause and process of the incident.
Ying and Paimon, on the other hand, were not interested in telling the story again, and it would be embarrassing for them later, so they started to keep their numbers and looked around.
Arthur let go of the two of them, then sat directly at the bar, looking at the wine cabinet behind the bar.
Arthur himself is not a drinker, but the wine in Teyvat is different from that in his previous life. There is no industrial taste, but it is more like the fruit wine he drank before, retaining the original flavor, just like the wine that Diluk poured during the dragon disaster. It can even be regarded as flavored juice. No wonder Venti always wants to come here to drink every day.
Although Diluk was still listening to Wendy's story, his eyes had never left Arthur and Ying. Seeing Arthur sitting at the bar and staring at his wine cabinet, Diluk walked directly to the bar and took out the only bottle of wine from the top shelf. The label on the bottle had become blurred after years of baptism, and the only thing that could be seen was the pattern that seemed to be a Cecilia flower.
Diluk stood at the bar, took out a brand new wine glass, poured a glass of wine and handed it to Arthur.
"Thank you."
Although he didn't know what the difference was between this glass of wine and the one Diluk had given him before, just the location where it was stored made it definitely more valuable than before.
However, Wendy, who was still explaining what happened, stopped explaining and looked at Diluk straight when she saw Diluk pouring a glass of the old wine from the bottle to Arthur.
"Master Diluk, give me a cup!"
Ying also turned her gaze to Diluk. She didn't ask for wine, but her eyes clearly said, GKD, give me one too.
But Diluk ignored Wendy's request, but put the bottle of wine back on the top of the cabinet, then took out a bottle with an apple on the bottle, took two cups, poured one for Ying and Wendy respectively, then thought for a while, took out two more cups, poured one for himself, and handed one to Paimon next to him.
"You are still young, just drink apple wine."
Diluk gave them the rare non-alcoholic drinks in the museum. Although Diluk might be the youngest among all the people present.
Ying and Paimon raised their glasses and drank slowly. After they finished drinking, their eyes even shone.
However, Wendy saw that Diluk only gave her a glass of apple wine, but it was obvious that Diluk had no intention of serving more wine. With the mentality of getting it for free, she also took a big sip and continued to narrate what had happened.
Arthur took a sip. Normally, fine wine should become more intoxicating as it ages, but this wine was very refreshing, smooth on the palate, and had a light floral scent.
Several people gathered at the bar, Wendy narrated what had happened, and Diluk listened attentively. About five minutes later, Wendy had finished telling everything, and everyone finished their drinks.
Diluk didn't expect the matter to be so complicated. He frowned with one hand, then pondered for a while and said to the others, "I roughly understand what happened. So this honorary knight and you are actually taking the blame for others."
"Alas, it's a pity for someone like you to join the Knights of Favonius. The Knights of Favonius have always been timid and inefficient in dealing with the Wind Dragon issue. This time, they haven't even identified the real culprit yet and they made a mistake."
"Forget it, I don't want to talk about this topic anymore, so why did Lord Fengshen show up this time?"
Only then did they realize that Wendy had been talking about them and Arthur. As for Arthur, Diluk had already met him before, and he was also the new honorary knight of the Knights of Favonius.
From Diluk's perspective, a few people were planning to steal Qiqi, and then he took the blame before he stole her. However, it was unclear why the Wind God appeared in front of them.
Different information led to different ideas. Venti and Ying knew that the 'God of Wind' in front of them was Arthur, but Diluk didn't know. So the experience that was originally narrated became, in Diluk's eyes, that several people took the blame, and then the God of Wind appeared unexpectedly.
Several people stared at each other. Now that they had figured out the reason for the different perceptions on both sides, it would be good to resolve the misunderstanding.
Arthur put away the organ in his hand, which was the Gaia Foundation, and turned back into his original form, then took back the divine power and Honkai energy that were emanating from him.
Arthur returned to his original form.
Diluk was startled, and then after several people's explanations, he finally realized the difference between his understanding and theirs. However, just like Paimon at the beginning, he still suspected that Arthur was not disguised as the God of Wind, but the God of Wind disguised as Arthur.
But Diluk has never been a person who likes to be entangled. Now that he has sorted out the reality, what he should do now is to figure out how to solve the current situation.
"Bard, you must be on the wanted poster. Your image is too outstanding in Mondstadt. It is easy to arouse suspicion. You should not leave the tavern. But Ying and Feng... Arthur, as honorary knights, you two will not be suspected. The only feature on the wanted poster is blonde hair. Because of your identity, no one will suspect you. We will meet here after the tavern closes tonight. I will try to find a way to make a connection first."
Ying and Arthur, along with a Paimon, left first and returned to the hotel, waiting for the tavern to close before coming back. Wendy hid in the tavern, while Diluk left the tavern under the cover of night and no one knew where he went.
Chapter 25: Obtaining the Qin from the Secret Realm
Late at night, Arthur and Ying brought Paimon quietly to the tavern.
"You are here."
Inside the museum, Wendy was guarding the door. When she saw them coming, she immediately came over to say hello.
Diluk and Jean stood next to them.
"Captain Qin?"
Ying and Paimon looked at this person who shouldn't be here.
"Good evening, everyone. It's been a while...it seems like it's just been a while since we last met. Senior Diluk has already told me everything that happened."
"Well, this Jean is here as an individual, not as the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius. This is someone that even you, as honorary knights, have no chance to meet."
"In short, I have a rough idea of the whereabouts of the Sky Harp. Although the knights who were in charge of guarding the place at the time did not see who stole the harp and rushed out, the nun at the scene, Barbara, told me that the person who stole the Sky Harp was a member of the Fatui."
After saying this, he looked at Arthur with a strange expression.
Arthur was curious about what Qin's look meant.
"There are as many lone Fatui members in Mondstadt as you want. Although we haven't been able to pry the location of the Sky Harp out of their mouths, we can rule out the possibility that the Sky Harp is in the Goethe Hotel."
"Even if they are the Fatui, they would not place the Skyharp in their semi-public base."
Diluk and Qin each expressed their opinions.
But to be honest, Arthur didn't take this content to heart. From beginning to end, the Fatui had only one goal, which was to get the Heart of the God of Wind. Maybe the lady also had another purpose, which was to vent her anger at the God of Wind.
Several people exchanged information with each other, and finally it was Wendy who suggested that the ultimate goal of the Fatui might be the God of Wind. However, facing everyone's questions, he chose to say "hey" and play dumb.
Although, Diluk took Venti and temporarily left Mondstadt and lived in his own property outside Mondstadt, the Dawn Winery.
Qin planned to go back to continue processing the documents, while Ying and Arthur also returned to the hotel to rest and wait until the next day to take action.
But before leaving, Qin turned around and looked at Arthur's back meaningfully.
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Arthur and Ying left Mondstadt. As they left the city, they saw a carriage. Seeing several people coming, Qin poked her head out of the carriage and asked them to get in.
After getting on the carriage, it headed towards Qingquan Town. When they arrived at Qingquan Town, several people got off the carriage and walked south. When they came to the waterfall, they saw Venti and Diluk were already waiting there.
Seeing several people coming, Diluk took out a bag and threw it to them.
Before Qin and Arthur could make a move, Ying jumped up first and caught the object that was thrown to her. After landing, she opened it and found a bag of masks, mostly black, but some in other colors.
"Put on a mask. It won't make you completely unrecognizable, but it will at least avoid diplomatic disputes."
Diluk put on a black mask first, and even changed his clothes, but the same black clothes can only be used to avoid disputes. If you really want to check, there are only a few people in Mond who possess the Eye of God, but they just don't show it in public.
Qin and Ying each chose a mask and put it on. Qin chose a green mask, Ying chose a white mask, and even Paimon took a white mask and put it on.
But given Paimeng's size, is there really any need to hide?
However, Arthur did not choose to wear a mask like them, but directly used Gaia Foundation to transform into Wendy's appearance again, and then completely converted the energy in his body into Honkai energy. This time, Arthur did not choose to disguise the Gaia Foundation as an organ, but disguised it as a wind-attributed Eye of God and hung it on his clothes on his chest.
Then everyone looked at Wendy, the only one on the field who was not disguised.
"Hey."
"Forget it, let the bard stand guard outside."
Seeing that Venti had no desire to go in, Diluk did not insist on taking Venti in. After all, one more or one less would not make much difference.
After entering, Diluk and Jean walked in front, half a body length ahead of Arthur, while Arthur was slowly floating behind. At the back were Ying and Paimon.
Arthur finally understood why those flying creatures didn't like to walk with their legs. Ever since he gained some wind power and could fly by relying on the collapse, he liked floating more and more. If it weren't for his dignity as a human being, he would have wanted to learn from a certain ghost and hug a pillow and float around.
Just looking at the postures of Qiqi and Diluk, it seems more like they are protecting themselves. It always feels weird. When I first played the game, I was always treated as a tool, but I didn't expect that one day I would be in the center position.
This was clearly the place where the stolen Sky Harp was kept, but there wasn't even a single person on the road, let alone a guard.
After walking back and forth for a long time, I finally met someone, but he looked like a paid worker who was slacking off. He knew nothing when asked, but I told a few people who might know.
After getting all the information, Diluk struck the Fatui in the neck directly, knocking him out. Based on the clues, he found several other people, got all the information from them and knocked them out one by one.
Finally, after everyone was resolved, they finally knew the location of the Sky Harp, which was at the end of this road.
"Isn't it that the journey was too smooth? The Fatui went to great lengths to steal the Harp of the Sky, and they just let a few lazy monsters come and leave them alone?"
Along the way, Ying, who was already prepared for battle, prepared to fight again and again, and then put away her sword. If she hadn't believed that the information from Qin and Diluk was correct, she would have suspected that they had gone to the wrong place.
"To be honest, it's a bit weird. The guards of Skyharp are too lax. It seems like they don't care at all."
But having said that, now that she was already here, there was no need to be curious. Qin could only tense up her slowly relaxing nerves and prepare to face possible crises.
But even after walking to the end of the road, I still didn't see anyone else. I only saw the Sky Harp placed in the middle of the room at the end of the road.
Jean and Diluk walked in first. Just as Jean's hand was about to touch the Sky Harp, a row of cages covered with lightning fell from the sky. Because it happened too suddenly, the two were directly trapped by the cages, and the Sky Harp turned into a shadow and dissipated on the spot.
Jean and Diluk tried to break the cage, but found that they could not break it without using elemental power. However, because the venue was too small and purple electric currents flashed on the cage from time to time, they might not only fail to break the cage, but also hurt themselves.
"Don't struggle. This is a cage designed by the Doctor himself. It won't be opened in a short time."
A masked figure appeared from the shadows. The Sky Harp that was previously in the middle of the room was now placed in the shadows. It seemed that the shadow and the mechanism that trapped the two people were all traps prepared in advance.
"Fortunately, the lady foresaw the future and temporarily installed the mechanism here last night. Now let me help the lady solve her problems."
After saying that, he took out two short blades and looked at Ying and Arthur.
Chapter 26 Get the Sky Harp
Unexpectedly, the lady would contact the doctor and set up the mechanism in advance. It can only be said that it is a blessing in disguise. The mechanism is only used for imprisonment and is not aggressive. Otherwise, if the trap is suddenly triggered, Jean and Diluk might be injured.
Ying and Arthur, looking at the only debt collector in front of them, wondered what the lady was thinking. You said you didn't make any preparations, but you arranged the mechanism in advance. You said you were prepared, but you only left one debt collector. Even if the debt collector's strength was already outstanding, it was a bit of a joke to use him as the last hurdle to guard Qin.
Ying and Arthur looked at each other, and seeing that the enemy was indeed just a debt collector, they felt relieved. There were no other enemies or mechanisms, only one debt collector. They could just deal with it quickly and go back.
"Forget it, let me do it. Since there's no one else, I'll just take a look at the random principle of my skill."
Arthur stepped forward, removed the Gaia foundation on his chest that was disguised as the Eye of God, and then took it back into the system space.
Arthur, who had returned to normal, stretched his body and then hummed slowly.
"I can't do anything."
A white tornado appeared beside Arthur, then two, then three.
The tornado slowly moved outward with Arthur as the center. The further it moved, the bigger it became. Arthur remembered that he had teammates around him, so he controlled the tornado to stop moving and instead gathered together and rushed towards the debt collector who was ready to attack.
The debt collector had just seen Arthur take off his disguise and was shocked under the mask. When the tornado appeared, he was ready to retreat. However, thinking of the task that the lady had personally instructed him to do last night, he stopped and slowly hid his figure in an attempt to get closer to Arthur.
"It seems that this so-called randomness seems to have a pattern. It has been the wind pattern twice in a row."
Arthur thought silently in his heart, and at the same time he saw the debt collector disappear.
Speaking of which, when I was hoeing the fields, I had no idea how many debt collectors and warlocks on the roadside I had beaten up. I could almost memorize the debt collectors' operating procedures.
But being invisible in real life is not as stupid as in the game. It will leave a shadow for you to know your location.
In fact, no one knows why Zhidong’s technological level is so high. The debt collector completely disappeared from everyone’s sight.
If it was Arthur before using the skill, he might really have to stay where he is and wait for the debt collector to attack before counterattacking, but the almighty Honkai tells you that all the fancy tricks are futile in the face of power.
