However, there was someone behind the wall. That was Stanley who had just said he was leaving. He also heard that several people were going to Dadaupa Valley.

Others might not have noticed Stanley eavesdropping on the wall, but Barbatos, the god of wind, must have known.

He did not expose Stanley, but pretended to know nothing and went to the Hillock camp in Dadaupa Valley with Jack and the others.

Then the four of them fought and searched in the Hillock camp. Their efforts paid off. Finally, they saw an iron sword inserted in the simple house built by the Hillock.

Wendy: Look, "Glorious Sword of Courage"!

Paimon looked at such a shabby iron sword and also raised questions. How could this be Vanessa's weapon? It was too unreasonable.

Paimon: No way? It's just an ordinary old sword! Why do the Hillocks worship this kind of thing?

But when I thought about it, it was obviously an old sword, but the Hillocks worshiped it, which felt even more unreasonable.

Wendy: (Maybe someone just threw the sword into the pile of trophies that the Hillock people were worshipping...)

Just as Wendy was thinking about the possibility of how this sword came from, Jack beside him also spoke up. Like Paimon, he couldn't believe why the Hillock people would worship an old sword.

Jack: This, this is too old! And... how should I put it, it's so ordinary that it makes people speechless...

But who is our wind god? He is a being that even the wind conveys messages to him. As long as there is wind, whatever happens, the wind will tell him.

Through the information obtained from the wind, plus the information here, Wendy has guessed the intention of the person who put this sword here.

Wendy: No, Jack, have you seen the wind crystal butterfly flying outside Mondstadt? This butterfly is inconspicuous during the day, but it will be dazzling in the dark night, just like a flying gem. Isn't courage the same? People who have everything going smoothly will not understand its value, but when you are in a desperate situation, courage is the only light that makes you fight and get out of the desperate situation.

Sora: Shocking.

Jack was also a little excited after hearing Wendy's explanation. After all, he will go on adventures in the future. As Wendy said, courage is indispensable. I guess this sword needs courage to exert its true strength.

Jack: You, you are so right! That's right, this must be the "Glorious Sword of Courage"!

[March Seven:? Xing, I feel something is wrong, but I can't tell...]

[Xing: Well, don't worry, I'm thinking...]

[Kiana: Mei, I think it's just an old sword, not the "Glorious Sword of Courage" at all. The one called Jack was deceived. ]

[Hersher of Knowledge: Isn't this obvious? Kiana is still so stupid. ]

[Kiana: Humph, Bronya, that dwarf, said I was stupid, but who are you? You actually said I was stupid too. Do you believe that I will punch you? ]

[Hersher of Knowledge: Come on! I am the great Herrsher of Knowledge. How could I be afraid of a fool like you? ]

[Kiana: Ah, you better hope that I don’t catch you in the future, or you will definitely suffer. ]

[Raiden Mei: Okay, Kiana, stop arguing. What do you want to eat tonight? ]

[Kiana: Ah! Okay, listen to Mei. I want to eat Mei’s fried chicken tonight! ]

[Raiden Mei: Well, then I will make this for you tonight. ]

[Kiana: Yeah! Mei is the best! ]

[Hersher of Knowledge: Humph! (I went to steal antiques at night, and I stole all of them. Who told you not to help me when I quarreled with Kiana?)

Wendy: Well, then, the sword has been found, and the only thing missing is the shield. Let's go around! The things must be in Dadaupa Valley - huh?

Just after Wendy finished speaking, there were some noises outside, and Paimon looked towards the place where the sound came from and noticed someone.

Paimon: Eh? There seems to be someone over there!

Because Jack is still there, even if he already knows that these things are related to Stanley, he still has to pretend.

Wendy: Stanley? Why is he here?

Paimon: He looks a little strange...

However, Jack in the back didn't see Stanley at all, nor did he pay attention to their conversation. When he saw them stop, he thought something happened.

Jack: What happened? Why did they stop suddenly?

Wendy didn't plan to tell anyone about what she saw Stanley, but she was afraid that Paimon, who was a big mouth, would tell it directly, so she took the lead in explaining.

Wendy: Oh, nothing, just now a "treasure weasel" that can only scatter gold coins ran over.

Hearing that Wendy didn't plan to tell anyone about what she saw StanleyPaimon had to shut up and said nothing.

When Jack heard that a treasure-stealing weasel had just passed by, he was also very curious. After all, it was a walking money bag, and he had never seen it before.

Jack: What? Where is it? I want to see it too!

Jack can't be taken to see this. Not to mention that it was just a little lie I told just now, how could there be a creature like a treasure-stealing weasel in the Hillchuck camp!

Wendy: Aren't you here to find the artifact? Don't look at it.

After the four of them searched around the Hillchuck camp, they finally found a worn-out wooden shield in the hands of a Hillchuck standing guard outside the Hillchuck camp.

Wendy pointed directly at the wooden shield in the Hillchuck's hand and said to Jack.

Wendy: Look, "Shield of Shining Will"!

Paimon: Liar! That's just an ordinary wooden board! It's tattered and has a barrel hoop! Who would use this thing as a shield?

Jack, who was standing by, also observed the wooden shield in the hand of the hillbilly after Paimon finished speaking, and then said.

Jack: And there are wine stains on it... It looks like it was taken off a wine barrel...

Although it is true, who is Wendy? He is a well-known liar, and he directly started his own liar method.

Wendy: But according to my intuition as a bard, this is the "Shield of Shining Will". Warriors are proud of the scars on their bodies, and the same is true for shields. The more intact a shield is, the more it is far away from the battlefield. Isn't the worn-out shield a proof of its experience in hundreds of battles? Even if the body is broken, it must fight on the battlefield until the last moment, and fight until the last drop of blood is shed. Isn't such a will precious?

Sora: I also think this is the shield.

Sora guessed that there were at least two reasons why Wendy said that. One was that there was really nothing around that looked like a shield, and this was the only one that looked like one. The other was that Wendy was too bothered to keep looking, so she started to fool around.

Although Sora guessed that Wendy would do this, our Paimon didn't. Her little brain didn't know, and she was fooled by Wendy.
