Half an hour later.

Wendy, who was hiding in a corner of the Favonius Cathedral in Mondstadt, saw Yingcang fleeing from the staircase in panic, followed by a cacophony of shouting and snoring.

"Is it the Sky Lyre?"

Wendy appeared and asked with a smile.

"No, it was stolen by someone else, run!"

Ying shouted at him anxiously, but before she could explain, she hurried forward.

"Uhh

"There are even accomplices! Those two thieves in front! Hold it! When

the knight saw Wendy, he immediately sped up his pursuit.

Ying and Wendy turned a deaf ear, and the wind was blowing under their feet.

I don't know how long they ran, but the two passed by the angel's gift tavern on the side of the road, and hurriedly got into it to avoid the search of the pursuers.

Diluc happened to be in the tavern checking the accounts, and Wendy said to him as soon as he entered.

"Boss, we want a place that is a little more secluded."

Diluc said with a slight surprise when he heard this request.

"To be hidden, there are few people on the second floor, but aren't you a bard? Why don't you pick a lively location? "

Oh, hey, hey, let's wait for the paid performance next time, let's go up first, we'll see you later~"

Wendy threw down a sentence and went up to the second floor with Ying.

Diluc's eyes narrowed, and he admonished the bartender Charles.

"Look after them, the poet is suspicious, I'm going to ask about the situation."

"Uh... Who to ask?

Charles wondered.

"Mondstadt security guards."

At this moment, several knights panted and pushed the door in, saw Diluc standing by the counter, and hurriedly asked.

"Master Diluc, did you see those two thieves?"

Diluc's face remained unchanged and he asked calmly.

"What happened, how did you send so many people?"

One of the knights, Miles, explained.

"Haven't you heard of Lord Diluc? There are two thieves who actually started the idea of "Lyre in the Sky".

Diluc heard this, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a sneer.

"Oh? That's a real wonder.

Miles nodded.

"Yes, the Sky Lyre is a treasure that the old man of the Wind God has played, and there are people who dare to fight such a precious cultural property."

Diluc said thoughtfully.

"It's better for someone to be stupid enough to steal something that can't be sold, than to steal my cellar."

"Uhh

"Oh, sorry to digress, the two people you said, one yellow and one green, seem to have gone over there."

Diluc shook his head and said casually in a direction.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Lord Diluc!"

Miles hurriedly thanked him and chased the knights out.

The second floor of the tavern.

Wendy looked out and saw the pursuing knights walking away, and said to Ying.

"It seems that the crisis has been lifted, let's go down."

With that, the two of them returned to the counter from upstairs.

"I want to drink it today,"

Wendy thought,

looking at the dazzling array of wine on the counter.

"Put me down the wine I got from behind the cupboard."

Diluc said as he stared at him with a blank face.

"Ahh I want to drink a little ice.

Wendy smirked as she put a hidden bottle back on the counter.

"Alright, it's time for you to answer my question."

Diluc said as he looked at the two of them with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Let me finish it first, I'll pay the bill... Well, pay off the debt with a show.

Wendy's eyes didn't take her eyes off the bottle.

"It's not about the money, you don't look like you're old enough to buy alcohol."

Diluc was unmoved.

"You can rest assured that you were still there when I drank..."

Wendy said, as if thinking of something, and didn't continue.

"You two, why don't you answer my question first."

Ying's eyes looked at Diluc with an inquiry.

"You want to ask who this is, right?"

Wendy asked, then introduced Diluc.

"Presumably this is Lord Diluc, the tavernkeeper behind the... Big boss, a very famous person, by the way, I like his dandelion wine very much, although most of the time I can only afford to buy it in bulk..."

"I just heard about the thief from the guards."

Diluc didn't follow Wendy's words and chose to get straight to the point.

"Let me explain first, I appreciate that you dare to steal the Sky Lyre, because even if you are a fool, it is a fool who has rarely been seen for a thousand years."

"We didn't steal it! The real culprit is someone else!

Paimon hurriedly excused the three of them.

"How could this popular newcomer to the Order steal Mondstadt's relics?"

Wendy also quickly defended.

"Oh? A popular newcomer? It turned out to be you.

Diluc looked at Ying, nodded, and said.

"Why, are you an acquaintance with this bard?".

"There's a little bit of friendship, but not much."

The glow shook his head in a matter-of-fact manner.

Venti: ....

A certain wind god's inner monologue: Is it still the wrong payment after all? Woo woo woo ~

"Hmm... As a traveler, he is willing to lend a helping hand to Mondstadt in distress.

Diluc nodded approvingly, but then said

with regret, "It's a shame for someone like you to join the Knights, Knights of Favonius... He has been timid and inefficient when it comes to the Stormterror. And diplomatically towards the Fatui, it is also weak and conservative, tsk... Forget it, I don't want to talk about it anymore.

"It seems that Lord Diluc doesn't like the Zephyr Riders very much."

Wendy said with a smile.

"The path is different, I have my own expectations for the city of Mondstadt,"

Diluc said, shaking his head.

"Alright, let's get our talk done, answer my question. Why did you steal the Lyre of the Sky?".

"Do you really want to know? You might get involved in trouble with the Knights?

Wendy asked.

"Heh, I'm not afraid of trouble, I'm the trouble of the Knights myself."

Diluc sneered.

"So, if I came to play the true story, would you believe me?".

Wendy groaned for a moment, then asked.

"It depends, I'll make my judgment."

Diluc said calmly.

"So, will you pay me a reward for the show?"

Wendy asked expectantly as she looked at the bottle of wine on the counter.

"Rewards range from 5 Mora to the Lyre of the Sky, depending on your story."

Diluc said with a blank face.

"Good. I'll just add another performance!

Wendy immediately rejoiced, took out the harp, and began to pluck the strings.

"The story I'm going to tell

...", which began in the primeval period

...", "At that time, the gods were still walking on the earth..."
