“We’re finally here!”*2

The two of them immediately packed up their equipment, and Ying also picked up Paimon who was sleeping on the bed, and they walked towards the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius together.

"Knock down."

"Please come in!"

As soon as the knight knocked on the door of the captain's office, Captain Qin responded from inside.

"Then I'll take my leave first."

The knight completed his task, and Arthur pushed open the door of the captain's office, only to see that not only Captain Jean was inside, but Diluk was also there.

There was even a half-meter-high box at Diluk's feet, sealed tightly, but at first glance you could tell that the material of the box was by no means simple. It was estimated that the value of the box alone was such that even if Arthur and Ying's money were added together, they might not be able to afford even a cover for the box.

"Thank you for your hard work. I called you here because we finally found the clue."

Captain Qin looked at Arthur and the others and spoke.

"First, the Knights of Favonius discovered a monster in the Thousand Winds Temple that shouldn't be wandering there. After investigation, they found that it was attracted by a red crystal, which can be confirmed to be the tears of the Wind Demon Dragon."

After saying that, he looked at Diluk who was standing beside him.

"Okay, here's my takeaway."

After saying that, he opened the treasure chest made of precious materials, and inside lay a scarlet crystal.

"This crystal was found in the wild by a group of treasure hunters. They thought it was some treasure and wanted to sell it, but I bought it for 50 yuan. Fortunately, none of them had the Eye of God, otherwise they wouldn't have foolishly thought it was a treasure."

The look in Ying's eyes when she looked at Diluk turned into the shape of Mora.

50w, that’s 50w!

Before I came to Mondstadt, I could only earn four-digit gold coins. I'm afraid I can't get enough 50 even if I kill all the hillbillies in Liyue.

"Another clue was provided by an adventurer. He said that a sudden wind blew on the way and he fell off a cliff. Fortunately, he survived. But then another lightning struck him. Fortunately, a big tree nearby attracted the lightning. The tree exploded and a red crystal was found inside. The adventurer was about to remove it when he felt an ominous aura. The stinging pain made him give up and return to the Adventurer's Association to report the incident."

"So we have to split into two groups to retrieve the two drops of Wind Demon Dragon's tears?"

Now that the information about the three Wind Dragon Tears has been collected, and one of them is on the scene, those people can split into two groups to bring back the Wind Dragon Tears and repair the Sky Harp.

That’s what Ying thought, but Diluk interrupted her.

"That's not necessary. Just go to the Thousand Winds Temple. I spent another 50 yuan to commission the treasure-stealing group that found the Wind Dragon's tears to go to that location and get them. Calculating the time, they will be back soon. Just go to my tavern and get them later."

Diluk said that it was just a matter of getting something, and there was nothing that Mora couldn't solve. If there was, it was because there were not enough Mora.

Ying was shocked by Diluk's rich words. He spent two 50 yuan without hesitation, just like spending thousands of Mora to hire someone to help him complete the task.

"Tyrant, can we be friends?"

Faced with Ying who was tempted by money, Diluk directly handed the crystal in his hand to Ying without saying a word.

"Ahem, then the next step is to wait for the second lesson crystals to come back, and then ask you to purify them, Ying, and then give them to Wendy. Then we will prepare to retrieve the Wind Demon Dragon's Tear from the Thousand Winds Temple, and we'll be done."

A few people then set off for the Dawn Winery, where a maid walked towards them holding a box that was the same as the one in the captain's room.

After handing the treasure chest to Diluk, the maid lifted her skirt and left.

After opening the treasure chest, another Wind Dragon's Tear was obtained. Then the two tears were purified by Ying's hands and finally handed into Wendy's hands.

"Ying, your power is truly incredible. No matter how many times I've seen it, it's still so shocking."

In response to Wendy's words, Ying didn't say anything. She didn't know why she could purify the filth in the Wind Dragon's tears.

"Let's go, our destination is the Thousand Winds Temple."

Chapter 29 Thousand Wind Temple

After giving the two Wind Dragon's Tears to Wendy, they started heading towards the Thousand Winds Temple.

The closer you get to the Thousand Winds Temple, the more monsters there are nearby. There are even the prototypes of two Hilichurls' gathering places appearing at the entrance of the Thousand Winds Temple.

But before it could develop, it was uprooted by several people.

"This is it. Look, the Wind Dragon's tears are right there."

Qin pointed to the center of the Thousand Winds Temple.

There were not as many monsters in the Thousand Winds Temple as on the road, but a mecha-shaped puppet was wandering around the Wind Dragon's Tears.

"It is because it has been lingering around the Wind Dragon's Tears that the Knights have been unable to obtain the Tears."

The Ruins Guardian is still wandering around in the Thousand Winds Temple. No one knows what caused it to appear here, but if you want to obtain the Tears of the Wind Dragon, you need to get rid of him.

"Let's go."

Captain Qin took the lead and rushed towards the ruins guard, while condensing the wind element and thrusting it forward. Immediately afterwards, Diluk's greatsword followed closely behind, wielding the flaming greatsword and slashing forward.

This was the first time that the two showed their strength in front of Arthur and Ying. The Ruins Guardian, a five-meter-tall machine, was actually defeated by a combined attack from Jean and Diluk, leaving clear marks on its body.

But machines don't feel pain, nor will they lose their combat effectiveness due to injuries. When they discovered who the enemy was, the core above the head of the Ruins Guardian flashed a red light, and then they waved their arms and slapped the two of them.

But Ying and Arthur didn't come here to watch the show.

Arthur took out his edgeless sword and swung it towards the ruins guard. The ruins guard, who was waving his arms to attack, appeared in front of Arthur and took Arthur's sword steadily with both hands.

"It's so big!"

It was the first time I saw a real-life ruins guard up close. He was much larger than I had imagined. I didn’t know if this was just a special case or if it was the case for all. He was five meters tall and his arms were nearly four meters long.

Most people are only as tall as the legs of a ruins guard.

But at this time, the ruins guard lowered his body and took the sword with both hands. Because of the height difference, it looked like the ruins guard was about to lie down.

"Attack the glowing core above his head."

Following Captain Qin's words, Ying jumped up and poked at the core of the ruins guard.

No accident happened. After the core was poked, the Ruins Guardian lost power and lay there.

And then he never got up again.

"This kind of war machine wandering around various ruins will lose power once its core is destroyed. Although it will recover after a period of time, the purpose of this trip is just to get the tears of the wind dragon, so there is no need to cause trouble."

"Although the Ruins Guard has such obvious shortcomings, in reality, it is difficult for even the owner of the Eye of God to easily defeat it. The main reason is that it is too tall, and its extremely hard body and powerful attack ability make many people afraid of it. Fortunately, this kind of mecha will only wander in the ruins. If you encounter it, you just need to avoid it and it will not provoke an attack."

In fact, few people know the true origin of the Ruins Guard. Only those who experienced the war five hundred years ago know some of the truth.

The Ruins Guardian is a later name. After all, the name of the prototype is called Tillage Machine. Although it is called a Tillage Machine, it is an absolute weapon of war.

Since the Ruins Guardian had lost its power, several people took away the Wind Dragon's Tear and prepared to leave. As for the Ruins Guardian, it is possible that when the core restores its power one day, he will continue to float in the Thousand Winds Temple, or it is possible that he will never restore his power and will be placed here as a decoration as proof of his existence.

He returned to the Dawn Winery again and gave the last Wind Dragon's Tear to Wendy.

"That's enough."

After Wendy placed the wind dragon's tear on the strings.

"Jin, you look younger and more rejuvenated." This is Arthur.

"Qin, you look more rejuvenated." This is Paimon who followed the trend.

"Qin, you look more rejuvenated now." This is Ying.

Even Diluk said at this time, "Youth is back."

It was Jean, on the other hand, who blushed at the teasing of several people. She never expected that Diluk would also join in the fun.

Maybe the Sky Harp had been repaired. Seeing that the key props for the dragon disaster at the end were still in place, everyone put down their burdens and relaxed after a long time.

"Well, it seems that this time it is OK. The wind element is overflowing to this state. Thanks to you guys."

"So where should we call the Wind Dragon next?"

Now that the Sky Harp is ready for use, Captain Jean is eager to ask Venti about the next move. The sooner it ends, the sooner Mondstadt can have peace.

"First of all, we can't do it in Mondstadt. If we do, it will cause irreparable damage."

“At the winery, it’s also clear…”

Diluk also took over the words of Captain Qin at this time.

"Oh. Losing the winery isn't an irreparable loss, but it's better not to."

However, Ying was shocked by Diluk's invisible display of wealth.

"The sea breeze or the wind from high above can carry the poet's song farther."

"If the air is dry, dull and depressing, not only poets but also dragons will be angry."

"Sea breeze or wind from high above, then the first choice is..."

After hearing Wendy's description, Qin, who was about to tell her the proposed location, was interrupted again.

It’s just that Qin has a good temper, otherwise she would have been angry if she was interrupted all the time.

"Then there's only one choice left! Go ahead, Paimon, and fly through the air with the singing man in tow."

Ying's words made the corners of the mouths of several people present tremble slightly. Although it is indeed a solution, would a normal person have such an idea?

As the person who knew Ying the best among the people present, after getting to know her for a while, Arthur was sure of one thing: this Ying was a piece of trash!

It felt like all the words she said corresponded to the most despicable options in the game. Even from what Ying said, it seemed as if Paimon had really taken her flying before. If they didn't see each other after they met, then it was before. Was it the river in Fengqidi? Or Xingluo Lake? Although I don't know the details, I was shocked.

"I can't do it. No matter how hard I try, I can't do it!"

In the end, Paimeng was so angry that he jumped up and down, and the last few people did not consider Ying's suggestion.

"It seems that's the only place."

"Ah."

Suddenly, Jean and Diluk seemed to reach a consensus.

"Don't be a riddle man, hey!"

Unknowingly, Paimon, as the traveler's external mouth, has become the team's complaining machine.

"It's the Star-Picking Cliff."

“It’s really a nice place.”

"Then let's head to Star-Picking Cliff and set off!"

Chapter 30: Reunion with the Wind Demon Dragon

However, as soon as Paimeng finished speaking, the few of them returned to the Dawn Winery to rest.

After all, they were not machines. They had just walked a long way and returned from the battle. Now they had to go to the Star-Picking Cliff again, so Diluk arranged for the butler to prepare lunch. Then they had lunch in the Dawn Winery, had a good rest for a while, and finally took a carriage to set off for the Star-Picking Cliff.

After all, in reality, as one of the seven kingdoms of Teyvat, Mond's area is definitely not small. The Star-Pickling Cliff is located in the northern part of the Mond map, and Diluk's Dawn Winery is located in the southern part, almost across a country. There is no main road in the middle, and you have to go around from the Wind Rising Land. If you really go there directly, it will probably take until dark to get there.

Several people were in the carriage, chatting as they went, talking about everything from the flowers and trees around them to national affairs. Although at first glance it seemed that they were chatting about everything under the sun, it was actually Diluk who was secretly directing the topic towards them. Jean also roughly guessed Diluk's purpose and followed suit to lead the topic.

Finally, after a two-hour journey, Diluk sorted out the information he had collected along the way and discovered that he and Qin might have really misunderstood each other.

I thought Arthur was the 'God of Wind', but in fact, Arthur's impression of Mond only had many key points, and he was not very clear about some trivial things, especially the history of the God of Wind, and he knew only a little more than ordinary people.

Needless to say, Ying has been confirmed to be a stranger, and in fact, this is indeed the case. Among the few people, Ying knows the least, and even most of the things he knows are common sense. Paimeng basically answers the questions.

Paimon is Ying's initial travel companion, and more of a guide.

It was Wendy, who was the least considered, who knew the most. He could tell all the trivial things he knew based on his family history and the intelligence he had gained when he was in the Knights Templar. He even knew more about the Four Wind Guardians than ordinary people. From this point of view, Wendy should be the God of Wind.

But Diluk glanced at Venti, who was still arguing with Paimon.

To be honest, even if Diluk racked his brains, he couldn't connect the Wind God of Mondstadt with the street singer in front of him.

If we ignore the identities of the people present and choose the one who most looks like the God of Wind, Arthur who uses the wind form must be the first. The second would be Ying or Qin. After all, both of them can use the element of wind. The third might be Paimon, after all, his appearance is different from that of ordinary people.

The fourth one may be myself. The reason for being in this position is still because of the elemental attributes.

But the last one is definitely Wendy. After all, apart from the same elemental attributes, this bard, who cheats, steals wine, and sings in his own winery every day, can never be associated with the wind god who brought freedom to Mondstadt several times in history.

As they were thinking, they had already reached the top of the Star-Picking Cliff.

"We're finally here. The scenery is so beautiful."

Time had unknowingly approached dusk. The distant coast and the setting red sky complemented each other, and the scenery was magnificent. Even Qin, who was in a hurry to solve the dragon disaster, slowed down her pace to appreciate the beauty of the sky.

"It's up to you, Bard."

Although Wendy's identity has been suspected, it is no longer important now. No matter what identity Wendy has, as long as the invasion of the Wind Dragon is resolved, that is enough.
