"Hmm...I always feel like I've been scolded." Paimon said.
What fool? She and Sora are not fools!
"Want to tell me?" Kong looked at Wendy and said.
He is the God of Wind, so of course he should be the one to make the decision. If Wendy doesn't want this matter to be exposed, I believe that as the God of Wind, he can also take them away from this tavern.
It shouldn't be that difficult to do something like this with the power of a god, right?!
Wendy won't be able to...
Wendy spread her hands and said helplessly, "Since part of the matter has been exposed, it seems that I can only share that matter with you."
As expected, there were other reasons behind stealing the Sky Harp.
So Diluk folded his arms and listened attentively.
"We want to borrow the Sky Lyre in order to save the Sky Dragon Tevarin."
"Sky Dragon, Tevarin?" Diluk asked doubtfully.
Although he knew the story of the Sky Dragon, he could not quite understand the use of the Sky Harp to save the Sky Dragon. Because in the eyes of most Mond people, the Sky Dragon had long been gone, so how could it be saved?
"The Wind Dragon is the former Sky Dragon Tevarin!" Paimon said.
The Sky Dragon is today's Wind Dragon?
What is this news? And how did they get it?
Venti saw a look of doubt on Diluk's face.
Then he said, "In that case, why not let me, the bard, tell you the story here in the form of a performance."
As she spoke, Wendy took the piano in her hands.
"Okay." Diluk nodded.
However, Venti did not start playing immediately. He placed his fingertips on the strings, then looked in the direction of Diluk and smiled.
"Well, will there be any tips after this performance?" Wendy said.
"The rewards range from the Five Moras to the Sky Lyre, depending on your performance." Diluk said calmly with his arms folded.
Eh? Could the highest reward be the Sky Harp? But Venti didn't want that. He just wanted to ask Diluk for a few drinks as a reward for his performance.
"Well, then please enjoy the performance of me, the best bard in the world!"
Wendy plucked the strings with her fingertips, and the performance that had taken place earlier in the square appeared again.
With the help of Wendy's piano music, Diluk was completely immersed in the story between the Sky Dragon and the poet, until the Sky Dragon fought the dragon for Mondstadt and woke up hundreds of years later after swallowing the poisonous blood, but no one remembered his past.
The content of this story deeply touched Diluk, and it was also related to some of his life experiences.
Even after the performance had ended for several seconds, Diluk still hadn't come out of it.
"Nice performance, you succeeded in impressing me."
"You don't mind having me in your plans, do you?"
Diluk was moved by the story told by Venti and has now made up his mind.
"Of course I don't mind!" Wendy said with a smile.
How could he mind if he tricked another person in to help?
Diluk: "Well, then follow me and tell me your plan in full."
Then, under Diluk's leadership, everyone came to Diluk's office in the backstage of the tavern. This place was obviously a more suitable place for conversation than the crowded tavern outside.
In the office, Wendy recounted the contents of her plan to save the Sky Dragon. While Wendy was explaining the plan, his hand opened a bottle of wine not very honestly, but Diluk didn't say much about it.
"I understand"
"Since the Sky Harp is the most important thing in this plan, I will be the one to act as the matchmaker."
"Wait for me here for a while. I'll go get someone. I think she should be able to help with this matter."
After saying this, Diluk turned around and left the office, leaving only Sora, Paimon and Venti in the office.
Looking at the direction Diluk left, Paimon began to feel a little uneasy.
"He, he just left like that? He really won't report us to the Knights of Favonius?" Paimon said uncertainly.
"I don't think so," said Sora.
Seeing Diluk's serious look, he must really want to help them and save the sky dragon Tevarin together.
Wendy also said: "Don't worry, even if we are reported, we haven't taken any action yet, right? We are not thieves now, the Knights of Favonius will not arrest us."
After saying this, Wendy, who had already finished a bottle of wine, extended her claws to another bottle of wine on the wine rack.
"Okay, now you're a thief..." Kong said a little speechlessly about Wendy's behavior.
Wendy turned around and smiled.
“Hey~!”
Hey again!
It really makes people feel helpless about Wendy's behavior.
More than an hour had passed since Diluk left the tavern. During this time, the tavern also closed, ending its business hours for the day.
If Diluk didn't come back, Kong felt that all the bottles of wine in the room would be drunk up by Wendy.
Fortunately, after a long wait, there was finally movement outside the door. The door was opened and Kong saw an extremely familiar figure!
"It's Captain Qin!"
"So Diluk said he was going to find someone who could help us. Is that Captain Jean?"
After seeing clearly the people brought by Diluk, Paimon exclaimed.
"No, the person I brought is not Jean, the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius, but Jean herself," Diluk corrected.
Because of some things that happened in the past, Diluk does not agree with the current practices of the Knights of Favonius, and he can be said to be disgusted with the Knights of Favonius.
But in private, he and Jean are good friends, so Diluc distinguishes the Knights of Favonius from Jean.
"Ok."
"Although I don't quite understand, but hello to Jean as Jean!" Paimon said after waving to Jean.
Jean looked at Paimon and nodded.
"I heard about your plan from Diluk. The existence of the Wind Dragon has always been an unstable factor for Mondstadt."
"In recent days, the diplomats who came to Winter Country have also been putting pressure on the Knights of Favonius regarding the Wind Dragon, forcing our Knights of Favonius to take the path of conquering the Wind Dragon."
The leader of the Qin group is telling the story.
As the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius, she naturally faces a lot of pressure from all sides when sitting in this position.
Recently, many things have happened, including the Fatui's winter diplomat, the Wind Dragon's harassment of Mondstadt, the strange behavior of the Hillichels outside Mondstadt, etc., which have made her feel physically and mentally exhausted.
"Hehe, this is why I personally don't like the Knights of Favonius. They are slow and inefficient, and their attitude towards foreign countries is very weak." Diluk said.
Since Qin is Diluk's friend, she is not surprised by Diluk's words.
Given the various situations Mond is facing right now, the power in Mond's hands is very weak. When facing the powerful Winter Kingdom, it is naturally difficult for it to be tough in diplomacy.
The saying that a weak country has no diplomacy is not just lip service; it states a reality.
Skipping this topic, Qin continued, "But as the acting leader, I don't want to make the decision to attack the Wind Demon Dragon."
"So now there is a new solution in front of me that has been confirmed by Diluk, so I will naturally give it a try. As long as there is hope and possibility, why not give it a try?"
Anyway, according to the plan, they only need to use the Sky Harp to call out the Wind Dragon. Next, she will also join the plan to save the Sky Dragon. With her company, there will be no problems with the Sky Harp.
So for Qin, this is an opportunity worth trying.
"So that's how it is! We understand." Paimon nodded.
Wendy: "Hey, now that Jean has joined us in saving the Sky Dragon, it seems that we don't have to secretly borrow the Sky Harp anymore!"
Since the harp is there, I can borrow the Sky Harp openly.
"Although we are trying to save the Sky Dragon,... you'd better not act on your own. After all, if the Sky Harp is stolen, it will be a huge event for Mondstadt." Jean looked at Wendy and said seriously.
“Hey~!”
After seeing Wendy like this, it really gave people a headache. Jean began to doubt whether such a guy could really use the Sky Harp to play music and summon out the Sky Dragon Tevarin?
After a brief discussion, everyone decided to go to the Order of Favonius at seven o'clock tomorrow morning to borrow the Sky Harp, and then formally launch the plan to save the Sky Dragon Tevarin.
The group parted ways in the tavern.
After everyone had left, Diluk wanted to take out a bottle of wine to moisten his throat, only to find that most of the wine in the wine rack was now empty.
.....Diluk recalled the appearance of Venti and couldn't help but clench his fists.
On the other side, after leaving the pub, Wendy walked towards the Xihua Shop with a happy face.
How can I not be happy? I drank a lot of wine today. Although these wines are not as good as Lin Yu's peach wine, they are already considered high-quality wines in Mond.
"Hey, you're back? How's everything going?"
When Lin Yu saw Wendy coming back from outside, he immediately put down the light novel in his hand and said to Wendy with a smile.
"So, Lin Yu, you haven't been reading light novels here all day, have you?"
"Wait a minute, I think I remember, weren't you supposed to be in charge of the Sky Harp? Now that I've got the harp ready, why are you still reading light novels?!"
Wendy began to speak indignantly.
"Ah? Has the Sky Harp been completed? That's great! I will have more time to read light novels." Lin Yu said with a happy expression.
He thought that he would follow the original plot, and he would appear when Wendy tried to trick Sora into stealing the Sky Harp but failed, and he would wave his hand and take out the stolen Sky Harp like a magic trick.
Now it seems that because of this little butterfly, the original plot has changed to a certain extent.
But this is exactly what Lin Yu wanted to do!
"........."
After listening to Lin Yu's words, Wendy successfully fell into silence.
Then Wendy walked past Lin Yu and went upstairs without saying a word.
It seems that he was stimulated by Lin Yu.
But it was not a big problem. Lin Yu believed that Wendy would be able to cheer up soon, so he picked up another light novel and started reading.
The name is "Reincarnation as a Sunset Fruit, You Can Become Stronger by Exposing Yourself to the Sun", and Lin Yu thinks it's pretty good.
In the blink of an eye, the whole night passed.
Everyone gathered in front of the West Wind Church early in the morning, and then followed Qin into the West Wind Order and met Barbara of the West Wind Order.
Jean began to negotiate with Barbara, and soon the negotiations were successful. The Order of Favonius agreed to lend the Sky Harp.
Then, under the leadership of Barbara, everyone entered the basement of the Order of Favonius where the Harp of the Sky was stored.
"The Sky Harp is in front of us," said Barbara.
Then everyone looked over there and saw that the booth was empty, with no trace of the Sky Harp.
"Eh!!!"
"Where's the Sky Harp!!!"
Barbara screamed and ran over, circling around the Sky Harp booth, looking a little emotionally broken.
"The Sky Harp has been stolen, quickly seal off the scene!"
Jean reacted quickly and shouted to the Knights of Favonius who were guarding the underground storage room.
Chapter 234: Sky Harp, I Will Take Action (4000)
After hearing Jean's cry, a large number of Favonius Knights rushed over from all corners of the underground storage room.
The Knights of Favonius who were guarding the basement storage room of the Favonius Church were equally shocked when they saw the bare Sky Harp display stand.
They couldn't believe that the Sky Harp was stolen from the basement storage room of West Wind Church right under their noses and without any of them noticing!
This is absolutely a huge dereliction of duty for the Knights of Favonius.
