People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

Page 154

Great, Wendy is already in town.

Rhode was delighted by the news and asked, "Where does he usually perform, Senior Sister? Do you know?"

Such a deliberate question.

Lisa was quite curious.

But she didn't ask anything, just replied: "Gift from the angel, the statue of the god of wind in the square in front of the West Wind Church, the Deer Hunter Restaurant, and except for the Cat's Tail Tavern, you may see him in every corner of Mondstadt."

This message is almost equivalent to not saying anything.

Rhodes laughed helplessly and said, "Okay, I understand. Then I won't disturb you from having afternoon tea. I'll come visit you when I have time."

"Okay."

"Oh, by the way, if you want to see Qin, you can come here in the evening."

While saying goodbye to Rod, Lisa made another appointment with him.

Rhodes readily agreed and left the Knights of Favonius while waving goodbye to Lisa.

Chapter 157: Solutions to the Current Situation, and Wendy (9000 words long chapter)

Rhodes was not in a hurry to find Wendy's whereabouts.

The Knights of Favonius appeared.

He first found a place to live as his base during his stay in Mond.

This is a two-story building with a single family.

It’s not far from the Knights of Favonius and can be reached in a few minutes if you walk at a normal speed.

With the Knights of Favonius badge that Lisa gave him before leaving, Rhodes successfully negotiated a discount with his boss. The original deposit of one and three rent payments was shortened to only one month's rent.

Standing on the balcony on the second floor, you can see the gate of the Knights of Favonius to the north, and the famous Goethe Hotel to the east.

After obtaining the Snow Owl Sacred Ritual, Rhodes' eyesight became much stronger than before.

Even from a distance of two streets, it was easy to see the Fatui guards guarding the door of the Goethe Hotel.

That place is now the headquarters of the Fatui stationed in Mondstadt.

As to why they did not go to the embassy specially prepared by Mond, but insisted on coming to such a conspicuous hotel, it is unknown.

All Rhodes knew was that this group of people, led by the eighth executive officer, were exerting political pressure on Mondstadt and wanted to forcibly intervene in the dragon disaster incident and use this opportunity to obtain information about Mondstadt's defense.

Lisa had said before that Qin was busy with work, and if they wanted to meet, they would have to wait until she was on break.

This is not just a perfunctory response to Rhodes.

She was really busy to the point of being exhausted.

Falga, the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, who should have been the backbone of Mondstadt, led 80% of the elite Knights of Favonius to an expedition to the northern border of Teyvat half a year ago. Now is the time when the entire Mondstadt's defense force is the weakest.

As the acting leader appointed by Falga, Qin's work in Mond went smoothly at the beginning and she was able to maintain the smooth progress of various affairs.

But the arrival of the Wind Dragon broke this tranquility.

In Lisa's words.

The external disaster brought by the dragon plague was already a big trouble. Then, under the attack of the wind dragon, the monsters in the wilds of Mond became more and more violent, forcing the Knights of Favonius to dispatch personnel to maintain security outside the city. This made the already stretched Knights of Favonius even more short-handed.

What's worse is.

The Fatui, who were already extremely powerful in diplomacy with Mondstadt, took this opportunity to put pressure on Jyn. Even a small diplomat dared to speak rudely to her, the acting leader.

These things stack up.

She has to be busy with various things all day long, and even has to squeeze out time for meals.

“It’s very troublesome.”

After looking around and not being able to see Wendy from his high vantage point, Rod returned to the house, found a pen and paper and began to write.

Old rules.

He still used the writing from his previous life, so that even if someone saw what he wrote, they would not be able to figure out what he was writing.

And what Rod wrote was simple.

Wind Dragon, Wind God, Fatui, and the Cult of the Abyss.

He came to Mond at a good time.

It’s the best time in the plan.

Before the traveler arrived, Wendy had already arrived in the city. He could use this opportunity to quickly get in touch with the Knights of Favonius and look for a chance to trade the Heart of God with Wendy.

As for the problems Mond is facing now.

First, there were the Outright Fatui, whose pressure was growing day by day. Also, Rhode guessed that the rumors about the Wind Dragon in Mondstadt were most likely spread intentionally by them, hoping to use the people's panic to force the Knights of Favonius to be unable to show kindness to the Wind Dragon and calm its anger even though they knew it was Tevarin, the Dragon of the East Wind.

This is almost an unsolvable problem.

Rumors are the most terrible thing.

Especially the character of the Mond people, they will not easily change their minds about things they have made up their minds about.

"It would be easier if Farga was here. Qin doesn't have his prestige yet."

Rhodes muttered to himself and circled the word "Fatu" and emphasized it.

The Abyss Cult in the dark is also a big trouble.

It was because of their constant corruption and brainwashing of Tevarin that he became increasingly manic, and his hatred for Mondstadt gradually overwhelmed his duties and beliefs as the former Dragon of the East Wind, and his hatred for the God of Wind also became increasingly intense.

It took a while.

Roughly sort out Mond's current internal and external troubles and what you can do.

Rhodes put away his notebook, walked out the door, and walked around Mondstadt.

His goal is simple.

I just found Wendy, who was singing somewhere.

The current situation in Mond is slightly different from what was planned.

But still within the acceptable range.

Therefore, Rhode's plan was to first establish contact with the Wind God, and then find a way to gain Venti's favor so as to "borrow" the Heart of God.

As for whether we will encounter travelers coming to Mond during this period.

It doesn't matter.

At worst, we can all work together.

Rhodes' goal from the beginning to the end was Wendy's Heart of God. As long as other things did not hinder him from getting the Heart of God, there would be no problem.

"It is not necessary to personally get involved in the matter of purifying the Wind Demon Dragon."

This is a sentence from Rhodes' plan.

That traveler will definitely come to Mondstadt, and both of them have physiques that can ignore the poisonous blood of the abyss and even purify it.

This means that Wendy actually has two choices.

He didn't necessarily have to put all his cards on Rhodes or the Traveler alone to deal with Tevarin.

in other words.

There are many ways to deal with the Wind Dragon, and Rhodes is not the only one.

So Rhodes planned to take advantage of his knowledge of many things and planned many actions in advance, so that Wendy would have to owe him a favor.

only.

Whatever you want to do.

The first thing to do is to find this god who plays with the world.

The information Lisa gave about Wendy in the library was too vague.

What is known now is that this guy basically won't go to the Cat's Tail Tavern because he is allergic to cats, but he may appear in other places at any time, which makes it extremely difficult to find him.

This caused a lot of trouble in finding him.

Compared to Liyue Harbor.

Mondstadt is much smaller in area.

It is even smaller than Jingfu Port.

The terrain of the island in the middle of the lake makes it impossible for Mondstadt to expand outward, and it can only compress the dense population within the current city limits.

The Wind Dragon has not yet started attacking the city.

This was the news revealed by Lisa and Rhodes during their conversation.

Perhaps because it has not been completely brainwashed and still barely cares about its past friendship with Mondstadt, the Wind Dragon's attack range is currently limited to the wild.

The biggest trouble caused to Mondstadt is that when a storm hits, it will roll up the water from the surrounding lakes, bringing disasters such as water dragons, and will also force Mondstadt to endure a heavy rain that covers the entire city.

This is also the reason why you don’t see anyone setting up stalls in the city.

No one can predict when the Wind Dragon will strike. If your stall is destroyed by heavy rain, the loss will be huge, so you might as well not set up your stall.

As for the gloomy wounded soldiers that Rhodes saw when he entered the city.

It was just a coincidence that he came across a shelter in the city. The people living there were all people who were rescued by the Knights of Favonius from other towns and became homeless due to disasters.

Relatively speaking.

The overall atmosphere in Mondstadt is quite optimistic.

The people have great confidence in the Knights of Favonius. Even if the Grand Master is not there, they believe that the Acting Master can lead people to resolve this dragon disaster.

"Where on earth did this guy go?"

Rhodes spent nearly an entire afternoon running around all the places in Mondstadt except for the Knights of Favonius and the Church of Favonius, and he stayed in various taverns for a long time.

But he still didn't see Wendy.

Ask passers-by.

Most of the answers we got were that they did know there was such a bard.

But they didn't know where Wendy was exactly.

Wendy's singing location is random, not fixed in one place. Sometimes he earns enough money, so it is normal not to be seen for several days.

So a passerby gave Rhodes a suggestion.

That is to go to Angel's Gift late at night. The popular bard especially likes to go to that tavern. Sometimes when he can't pay for the drinks, he will sing a few impromptu songs in the tavern in exchange for the drinks.

Watching the sun gradually setting.

Unable to find anyone, Rhodes shook his head, changed direction, and went to the Knights of Favonius.

Lisa said Qin would be free in the evening. Since we couldn't find Wendy now, we might as well go and talk to Qin first.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Knights of Favonius, Rhodes met Lisa.

Compare to when we first met.

Lisa became even more enthusiastic and invited Rhodes.

"Hey, Junior Brother Rhodes, you're here."

"Sister Lisa hasn't had dinner yet. Do you want to go with me?"

Hearing Lisa's sudden change of self-identity.

Rhode twitched his lips and said, "Senior Sister, hasn't Captain Qin rested yet?"

"Ouch~~"

"As soon as we met, you looked for Qin, but this will disappoint Sister Lisa~"
