"As for how much is the bottom line, I believe you can understand." The Maintainer looked at the ember meaningfully, then stepped into the space crack and disappeared.
Yu Jin looked at the path that had returned to silence, and after a long while he managed to utter, "I'm not going there!"
However, no one was destined to hear this sentence, because he just felt that the gaze that had been staring at him disappeared.
Tenri and her four shadows began to get busy.
"Oh, it's really troublesome." Yu Jin said with some emotion. He just did whatever he thought of and didn't care about any taboos at all.
Even as for "wear and tear", he only thought that it was just the damage of the soul under the erosion of time. How could this be considered a taboo?
Never mind. If the ruler of this world comes looking for him again, he can just release Yousui.
Thinking of this, Yu Jin felt relieved again. The world is still big, and there are still many places he hasn't been to. Why should he think so much?
Qingquan Town is not far from Mondstadt. Even though Yu Jin deliberately slowed down his pace, the night was still dark when he returned to Mondstadt.
This was the first time he had seen Mondstadt so quiet, and Yu Jin became playful. He began to jump on the rooftops like a wild cat, admiring the city in front of him.
While enjoying the scenery, take care of the sins of the night.
Yu Jin was walking carelessly in an alley. Suddenly, he felt a strong wind blowing towards him through the gap in his armor.
"Bang!" The beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings kicked towards Yu Jin, but since it was not a vital point, Yu Jin did not dodge.
"Huh?" Rosalia felt that her attack had no effect and couldn't help but frown.
Seeing that this man's movements were strange, his clothes were odd, and he appeared in a remote alley late at night, he thought of his responsibilities and decided to give it a try.
But I didn't expect that this strange guy without the God's Eye was not simple. After I kicked him, he didn't move at all, like a rock.
At this time, Yu Jin also saw Rosalia's figure in the dark. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, Yu Jin could vaguely recognize that she was wearing a nun's uniform, and immediately complained:
"I told you that all the nuns of the West Wind Church are so fierce. They kick you right away. How can ordinary people withstand it?"
[But you are not an ordinary person! ] Rosalisa argued in her heart, and then left quickly.
Just now, she judged from Yu Jin's words that he was not a bad person, and seeing how energetic he was, she knew it was all a misunderstanding. In order to avoid embarrassment, she ran away.
"Sir, please don't dress so strangely in the future. People will misunderstand you when you are in strange places and at strange times."
Rosalia said this and disappeared into the night.
"I'm going to report it to the Church of West Wind!" When Yu Jin heard Rosalia say that he was dressed strangely, he immediately jumped up in anger.
Chapter 30: Wendy the Bard
2023-08-28
New day, new things.
The first thing Yu Jin did when he got up today was to go to the West Wind Church to report that a nun was beating people!
The Church of Favonius is affiliated with the Knights of Favonius and has a high reputation in Mondstadt. This is not only because the Church of Favonius is a gathering place for the faith of the God of Wind, but also because the Church of Favonius has assumed the responsibility of a hospital.
No matter when, the West Wind Church is always crowded. Of course, the main church that serves as a prayer place is much better.
When Yu Jin arrived at Fengshen Square, he saw a surging crowd of people.
However, a considerable number of people came to the Fengshen Square to play. Even so, there was still an endless stream of people seeking treatment through the side doors on both sides.
But Yu Jin wasn't here to treat illness, so he went straight in through the main gate.
As soon as he entered the church, the shiny, dust-free floor caught Yu Jin's attention. Yu Jin lifted his foot and, sure enough, a big black footprint appeared on the floor.
This made Yu Jin's mission fail, and his momentum weakened a bit. However, no one in the cathedral paid any attention to him. In such a huge cathedral, one could hear a pin drop.
The huge stone pillars in the church, the large windows that emit colorful light, and the extremely high dome give people a sense of solemnity.
Embers have visited such churches twice before, and both ended up in bad ways: one was demolished and the other was burned.
"What is there in Barbatos that is worthy of your faith? He doesn't even want to show his face... Ah, I'm so sleepy." A weak voice came to Yujin's ear.
Yi Yan turned around and saw a man wearing a mask standing weakly on a stone pillar beside him. He dozed off before he finished speaking.
Fools! Yu Jin immediately ran over and asked in a bad tone, "What are you doing?"
Victor was startled when he saw a tin can appear in front of him. But he seemed to remember his identity, and he became tough again and said:
"What? To destroy the faith of Barbatos, the god of wind, of course!"
Yu Jin thought about how he had just dozed off, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you destroying the faith of the God of Wind just like this?"
"What do you mean by that? It's tiring to speak to someone again and again," Victor argued.
"I think it's useless." Ember thought for a while, thinking that it would be difficult for him to accomplish his goal like this.
"I know." Victor didn't care. He just touched the fish every day. It felt good.
Yu Jin gave him a meaningful look. He had thought that all the Fatui were bad people, but he didn't expect that there would be a slacking leader like Victor.
But it makes sense that once an organization becomes large, no matter what its original goal is, there will always be a few exceptions.
"Okay, then you continue to destroy the faith in the God of Wind." Yu Jin just chatted with him briefly and then parted ways with him.
The ember walked towards the interior of the church. In addition to the believers who were praying, there were also some nuns sitting on the benches praying intently.
He glanced around and found that none of the nuns seemed to match the figure that attacked him last night.
Seeing that everyone in the church was so focused, Yu Jin thought about it and decided to go out. After all, he was not injured last night, and the nun had no intention of killing him. He could just beat her up when he saw her again.
Walking out of the West Wind Church, it suddenly became noisy. Many Mondstadt people were playing in front of the Wind God Square, and the bustle was no less than that of the Mondstadt Square below.
However, unlike Mond Square, there are not numerous shops and stalls here, but instead there are many bards.
The bards sang poems that were not sure whether they were true or false, and these poems complemented each other and intertwined to form the song of the wind.
Yi Yan leaned on a stone pillar and silently stared at the huge statue of the God of Wind in front of him. It seemed that Barbatos was quite capable.
After admiring them for a while, Yu Jin prepared to leave because he found that the poems seemed a bit repetitive. No wonder the bards had a bad reputation in Mondstadt.
How can you be called a bard if you only know one poem?
Yu Jin looked at the "poets" in the square and began to complain silently.
"Hey, strange stranger, what do you think of Mond?" A young man wearing a small green hemp whip, a green beret, a lotus leaf-trimmed cloak and white tights greeted Yu Jin with a smile.
Although the boy looked androgynous, Yu Jin could tell at a glance that he was actually a boy - because he had seen Michaela.
Yu Jin looked at the boy, then at the huge statue of the God of Wind in the distance. Oh my god, the God of Wind has become smaller!
He pointed at Wendy and was about to call the nuns of the West Wind Church, but Wendy rushed forward and covered his mouth, whispering:
"Shh, keep it a secret, I'm Wendy now!"
"Oh, you can let go now. It's useless to cover the helmet. If I wanted to scream, I would have done it long ago." Wendy's hand was still blocking the mouth of Ember's helmet, but unfortunately it had no effect at all.
"Ah? Sorry." Wendy heard the voice of Ember coming from the helmet, and realized that his behavior was a bit like trying to cover up the truth, so he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"It's okay, Mond is fine." Yu Jin then answered Wendy's original question.
Wendy was also very happy to hear Yu Jin's praise, "Hehe, huh? I think so too, especially Mond's wine, it's really rare in the world!"
"You're making me hungry. Let's go to Angel's Bounty to have a drink!" Wendy said as she pulled Yu Jin towards Angel's Bounty.
"I don't drink!"
"Come on, come on, you'll like it after you drink it."
Despite Yu Jin's objections, Wendy pulled Yu Jin into the angel's gift.
When the door of the pub is opened, the warm light fills the whole pub. Even before drinking, it gives people a feeling of being tipsy.
As the best tavern in Mondstadt, many people come here to taste wine, so the atmosphere is less noisy and more comfortable.
This might be why Wendy likes to come here. He doesn't like to be too noisy when drinking.
"Welcome." The bartender Charles looked up at the visitor and his eyes showed surprise.
"I didn't expect it to be Mr. Ember. Please take a seat."
"Hmm? Do we know each other?" Yu Jin looked at Charles. It seemed that he had never been here before, and of course he had never seen Charles.
"The master has instructed that if you come here, please take special care of me," Charles explained.
"Master?" Yu Jin began to filter the rich people he knew in his mind.
"Is it Diluk?" Yu Jin was a little uncertain. It seemed that he had said that the angel's gift was his inheritance.
"That's right. Mr. Yu Jin rarely comes here, so consider it my treat for today's drinks." Charles said with a smile as he looked at Yu Jin staring at the wine list.
"Um...thank you." Yu Jin did not refuse. He just looked at the wine list and found it a bit expensive.
"Hey, my dear friend, it's your turn to treat me this time!" Wendy's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately jumped up and hugged Yujin's neck and said.
Unfortunately, even if Wendy jumped up, she couldn't wrap her arms around Ember's neck. In desperation, he could only wrap his arms around Ember's waist.
"Haha, what a cheap friendship." Yu Jin did not reject Wendy. On the contrary, he became quite interested in this unreliable wind god.
The two of them sat down at an empty table, hugging each other like good friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Ember just ordered a glass of wine casually, but Wendy on the opposite side was different.He looked at the wine list, like an old wolf who had been hungry for a long time, his eyes began to glow green.
What? Wendy's eyes are naturally green, so that's fine. She's just thirsty anyway.
Soon, Wendy ordered a lot of drinks that dazzled Yu Jin. It really opened Yu Jin's eyes to find out that there are so many ways to pair wine.
"Ah! I feel so satisfied. I haven't felt so happy in a long time." Wendy picked up a glass of colorful wine, took a sip, and exclaimed.
"Tell me, why did you come to the Cathedral of West Wind? Did you have some troubles that you wanted to talk to the God of Wind about?"
"Tell me, I will definitely help my best friend with his troubles!" Wendy patted his chest. He was very happy today that he could allow others to trouble him.
"I was beaten by your nun for no reason last night!" Yu Jin was a little angry.
"Hey! What do you mean by 'my nun'? Don't say something that could lead to misunderstanding!" Wendy corrected.
But Yu Jin didn't care. He pointed at a woman and shouted, "That's her! The violent nun!"
"What a weird nickname!" Wendy complained.
