The Dragon Plague of Mondstadt has thus come to an end.
Acting Grand Master, Jyn Gunnhildr, on behalf of the Knights, clarified the misunderstanding to the public and announced the resolution of the matter.
To the average person, the Stormterror suddenly attacked Mondstadt and then vanished without a trace.
They must still have many questions in their hearts...
However, the wind direction can change.
One day...
It will blow in a brighter direction...
Qin slowly closed the diary and looked out the window.
"Although this was only a brief collaboration with Diluc-senpai, I'm certain that his heart will always be with us..."
"May the gentle breezes of Barbatos grace all of Mondstadt..."
………………
Jiang Mu accompanied Ying and Wendy all the way to the outskirts of Mondstadt, then stopped, looked at the two of them, and asked.
"What do you plan to do? Are you coming with me to return the Sky Harp to Barbara, or...?"
"Let's return the Sky Harp to Barbara first," Luminous said to Wendy, who nodded in agreement.
"It's all thanks to her lending us the Sky Harp, otherwise, this operation would never have gone so smoothly..."
“She must have been under a lot of pressure lately…” Wendy said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu nodded and lent out Mondstadt's most precious treasure. It was all thanks to Barbara's status; otherwise, she might have been imprisoned...
"Then let's go to the Cathedral of the West Wind first!"
Jiang Mu nodded and took the lead into Mondstadt...
After a friendly chat with Kaeya and Amber, whom they had met by chance, the group finally arrived at Mondstadt Cathedral.
Upon entering, Jiang Mu was surprised to find Barbara anxiously looking around, as if waiting for someone.
Barbara breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jiang Mu and quickly ran towards the group.
"Thank you, Wind God! It's so good that you've returned safely!"
"This time it was a close call, but here you go. This is the Sky Harp, it's still intact. Here you go."
Jiang Mu took out the shimmering Sky Harp from the system space and handed it to Barbara.
"Why does the Sky Harp feel different than before...?"
Looking at the Sky Harp in front of her, Barbara asked in confusion.
"She seems... to have more energy..."
"Maybe it's Barbatos's blessing," Wendy chuckled, while Jiang Mu and Ying rolled their eyes in unison.
Praising himself, typical Barbatos, always neglecting his duties...
“I heard from my sister… no, I mean, the leader of the harem, that this dragon calamity was only truly resolved thanks to you all, especially you, young bard. I apologize for offending you before.”
Looking at Wendy, Barbara bowed deeply and said solemnly.
"No, no, no..." Wendy quickly waved her hands upon seeing this, "I only helped with a small matter; it was mainly these two who did the work."
Barbara also looked at Ying, who simply nodded slightly at her.
"What a cool girl!" Barbara exclaimed inwardly before taking the Sky Harp from Jiang Mu's hand. After a moment's hesitation, she asked with a question.
"Although it's impolite to ask, I still want to know, who exactly is capable of playing this instrument that is exclusively used by Lord Barbatos?"
“This…” Jiang Mu glanced at Wendy subconsciously, and the latter shook her head imperceptibly.
"Ahem... You might not believe it, but while we were confronting Dvalin... no, I mean Stormterror, Lord Barbatos spoke to me and told me a magical melody. Thanks to that old man Barbatos, we were able to successfully resolve the crisis in Mondstadt!"
Wendy stepped forward and explained to Barbara.
“So that’s how it is…” Upon hearing this, Barbara lowered her head, seemingly with a hint of regret. “If I had known, I would have gone with you. Even if we hadn’t met Lord Barbatos, we could have felt his blessing…”
"Anyway, this matter is now settled." Jiang Mu smiled at Barbara. "Go and put away the Sky Harp. We have some things to do. See you next time."
With that, Jiang Mu grabbed Wendy and Ying and jogged away from Mondstadt Cathedral.
Barbara stood there, holding the Sky Harp, staring blankly at the three people's retreating figures...
………………
"Hey, is there anything else between the three of us?"
Wendy glanced at the hand that Jiang Mu was holding and asked in confusion.
"Of course, wait a bit. The executor of the Fatui clan is coming to have a heart-to-heart talk with you..."
Jiang Mu inwardly grumbled, but outwardly he simply shook his head and led the two of them towards the direction they remembered...
Just as the three of them ran to a corner, two pools of "black water" suddenly appeared on the ground. Immediately afterwards, two debt collectors from the Fools emerged from the "black water," pulled out daggers, and stabbed Wendy in the back!
"Bang!"
A burst of azure wind elemental energy erupted, and the vortex sword in Ying's hand slowly dissipated. Just moments before, Ying had used only her elemental technique to thwart the deliberate assassination attempt by two Fatui elites…
I must say, he truly is an experienced traveler...
"Hmph!" After blocking the two attacks, Ying gripped her bladeless sword and lunged at the two debt collectors...
Seeing Ying attack them, the two debt collectors exchanged a glance and then disappeared back into the darkness beneath them, leaving Ying empty-handed...
Just as the group was momentarily stunned, a biting gust of cold wind suddenly swept in from behind them, freezing Paimon solid and sending him crashing to the ground...
Just as Wendy sensed something was wrong and was about to make a move, thick frost climbed up his legs, immobilizing him in place.
Ying was about to go up and help when the two debt collectors pounced out of the darkness again, each grabbing one of her arms and kicking her behind the knee, slamming her to the ground.
"Ah!" Wendy turned around and looked at Ying's current situation. Her eyes narrowed, but the unhurried footsteps that came at this moment made her focus her attention on the person who was walking.
Because he knew this person would be exceptionally difficult to deal with...
"Da, da, da..."
With increasingly loud footsteps, a woman dressed in an extremely revealing evening gown strode arrogantly to Venti, followed respectfully by two Fatui Electro Wizards...
"Oh well, I finally managed to find my hamster..."
A voice filled with arrogance and disdain slowly drifted over.
"They're here!"
Jiang Mu was startled.
The eighth of the eleven executive officers of the Fools—
La Signora!
