Chapter 7: My 7th Day of Slacking Off in Mondstadt

Chapter 7: My 7th Day of Slacking Off in Mondstadt

"I feel like that guy's Ice Face is exactly like Diluk's. If the nickname Ice Face wasn't already used by someone, I would definitely call him that."

"And the way he speaks really makes people uncomfortable. It feels weird."

That night, Paimeng complained to Kong unhappily, saying that she felt Shui Qingli's attitude was too rude.

"Don't give people nicknames casually, Paimon."

Sora gave a casual advice. He felt that the gentleman had no ill intentions and was probably just not very good at talking. Wasn't Eula the same when they met before? And Eula's personality might be even more awkward.

"Sora, do you really want to listen to that street singer and steal the Sky Harp?"

Paimon expressed doubts about the bard. Although what he said sounded righteous, the suggestions he put forward were quite unreliable.

It was getting dark, and except for the patrolling knights, most of the residents had already gone to bed. However, the travelers, who had worked hard all day, were about to do something bad enough to be wanted by the entire Knights of Favonius and even the entire Mondstadt.

"It doesn't look like Wendy is lying. If Tevarin is truly innocent, we shouldn't just watch it being used."

Kong is a person with a strong sense of justice and is willing to help others. Although he has lived in Mondstadt for a short time, he likes this city-state that symbolizes wind and freedom. It would be a pity if such a good city were tainted by conspiracy and intrigue.

And he also likes Wendy's singing.

"Well... okay then."

Besides supporting him, what else can Paimon do? After all, she is the best guide for travelers. (Putting her hands on her hips proudly)

Although the guarding of the Knights of Favonius seemed tight, after all, the main force had been taken away by Captain Farga on the expedition. Only reserve forces were left. Most of them were newcomers who had just joined and older people who were about to retire, so there were not many people who could be used.

Judging from his abilities alone, Kong is capable of beating anyone. Even the owner of the Eye of God can still hold his own.

But unfortunately, he was a step too late. When he reached the room where the Sky Harp was kept, a woman wearing a purple plush costume and a hat that looked like rabbit ears got there first and slipped away with the Sky Harp. Most unfortunately, she also caused Sora to be discovered by the patrolling knights.

"Someone stole the Skyharp!"

As soon as these words were shouted out, the entire Knights of Favonius were in an uproar. The Sky Harp was the sacred object of the God of Wind, and someone had actually stolen it openly in Mondstadt, the territory that belonged to the God of Wind. This was simply like a slap in the face to the Knights of Favonius.

"Catch him now!"

"Oops, I've been discovered!"

Paimon clenched his hands anxiously, and the two of them started running outside immediately. If they were caught at this time, they would not be able to explain themselves even if they jumped into the fruit wine lake.

When the city was in turmoil and the Knights began to search the city, I knew that the storyline of the Sky Harp had probably begun.

If it were my previous personality, I might have been eager to help, but when my spirit and will were influenced by Prince Water, I didn't want to meddle in other people's business and just thought that they were making a fuss. Perhaps this was the price of gaining power.

But I still have to repay the favor I owe to the God of Wind when Fengqi arrives. If it weren't for the power of the wind protecting me, my symptoms might be even more serious than they are now, and it's not impossible that I might completely lose myself.

Although Barbatos never does his job properly, the Knights of Favonius did help me a lot. Of course, that black-skinned cavalry captain is not counted, as he is still full of hostility towards me.

"Dong dong dong."

Someone knocked on the door, I opened it, and sure enough, I saw several familiar knights.

"Hello, excuse me, have you been out tonight?"

He did not say he was searching for a suspicious person.

"No."

I pretended to be indifferent and crossed my arms and replied, this is the character I show to others, and the other party has become accustomed to it.

"Can I see your room?"

He continued to ask politely. This request is actually a bit of an invasion of privacy and most people would not agree to it, but I don’t care. Anyway, the person they are looking for is with Grandpa Diluk.

"casual."

My room is not big, you can even see the whole room at a glance. He glanced at the door and nodded behind him.

"Nothing unusual. Sorry to disturb your rest—"

Then the three or four people retreated.

I stayed in a small hotel in Mondstadt, which was cheap and cost-effective. Of course, Lisa also suggested that I could stay at the Goethe Hotel. Maybe she thought that I was not used to staying in a small hotel because of my fancy clothes, but I didn't want to be neighbors with the Fatui.

The plan of treasure hunting in the sea has to be brought up. The ocean is very vast, and the treasures hidden in the seabed are much more than those on land. What's more, there are countless ruins on the continent of Teyvat, and people are unable to excavate many of the ruins on the seabed. I can imagine how rich the harvest will be.

So in the past two months I have been constantly getting used to the power of water. I don't need to breathe underwater, and I can control the water element to attack. But the sea can't be as calm as the Fruit Wine Lake. The big fish and monsters in the sea are even more dangerous, so I must be adequately prepared.

After the Knights of Favonius left, I didn't rush out. Since the Sky Harp was lost, they must have been patrolling very closely. The water in the air told me that there were several people nearby staring at me.

It seems that everyone outside Mondstadt is under strict surveillance. But it makes sense. No one has coveted the Skyharp for years, and yet it was stolen recently. Although the Fatui attracted most of the attention, outsiders like me are also suspects.

"trouble."

I couldn't help but complain. Barbatos had just woken up from his deep sleep, and his strength was not recovered enough to forcibly suppress Tevarin, otherwise he would not have to use the traveler to resolve this crisis.

Although he claims to be the weakest god in the game, among the Seven Rulers of the World, only the God of Wind and the God of Rock are the original seven gods, and the other gods have been replaced, which is enough to explain everything.

I don't need to participate in the crusade against Tevarin. I just need to quietly wait for their return in Mondstadt. Intervening when the messenger of the God of Ice provoked and insulted the God of Wind with hatred and anger can be regarded as repaying part of the favor. As for more...

Given Wendy's personality, maybe he would suggest that I buy a few more boxes of dandelion wine, which would be enough to repay the favor he had helped me with at some point in my life.

After all, the God of Wind, who represents freedom, doesn't need me to repay favors in a way similar to the contract with the God of Rock.
