The fingers are like jade as if they were slicing through the strings, creating a beautiful rhythm, and the handsome person's eyes are slightly closed, and a silver bell-like singing voice flows from between the ruddy lips, giving the music more emotion.

Let that light guide you

Every memory has a shadow of you

Every step of the way has you by your side

That's the way home

Without your company

Make the days incomparably long

When it's time to meet again

I will open up and pour out everything

Sitting or standing in various parts of the room, the Ursatians listened with their heads bowed and sobbed, their faces full of melancholy, or even their eyes closed and hummed in a low voice to the melody. It wasn't until the performer finished playing the last note that the intoxicated people came to their senses and responded with warm applause.

"Thank you, I feel so much better!"

"Oh my God, you are the angel given to us by the gods!"

"Well, miss, although the conditions are a little rudimentary, may I ask if I am lucky enough to invite you to dinner--- well, don't beat me."

Except for one rash inviter who was beaten by the people around him, the atmosphere of the performance was generally very harmonious, and the initial scene of sadness and despair completely dissipated. With a warm and friendly smile, the beautiful boy comforted everyone a few more words, and then left the room with brisk steps---

Of course, someone's actions are not free, and a few special bottles of special drinks that swing with the movement on his belt are his gains.

Humming a little song through the wide passageway, greeting those who meet him warmly, the player in the green cloak suddenly stops and looks at the passage beside him with a smile. "Looking for me?"

Emerging from the shadows, the white-haired Ruper's hood was pulled down, and his eyes were as cold as frost. "Bard, Kelsey wants to see you."

Turning his neck as if he had realized something, his eyes swept over the black-clothed carters who occupied the end of the passage, Zarak who blocked the way behind him, and the red who felt out a short dagger, the smile on the corner of Wendy's mouth was a little less natural and a little more helpless.

I thought that the organization that the man belonged to would be more tolerant of 'outsiders', but it seems to be a bit self-inflicted. Having made this judgment, the person concerned was about to obey the arrangement, when he saw a figure emerge from the end of the hallway, squeezing Zarak away with a slightly rough movement.

"What are you guys doing here!?" Looking at the women who had taken out their weapons, Zhao Xi narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "He is a friend, not an enemy!" ”

"Kelsey commanded..."

"I'll explain to her that you're all out." Uncompromising in the face of Red's defense, the young man showed his longbow, his fingers already resting on the bowstring. "I know you're at the mercy of Kelsey, but I'm in charge of this matter, so if you want to fight, do it!"

Seemingly a little jealous of his arrival, the three women silently exchanged glances and finally reached a consensus. "I'll report back to Kelsey." Leaving this sentence, Red slowly faded into the shadow in the corner of the hallway, and then disappeared without a trace; Zarak put away his greatsword, bowed, and turned away; Cartes fastened his hook to his belt and threw a flying kiss at the two of them, choosing to slip away without any fuss.

Is it a double reed? No, it should be done spontaneously, looking at the embarrassed young man opposite, Wendy suddenly couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Miller, are you planning to propose~~"

"No, I'm 100% heterosexual!" A loud retort, someone who had finally adjusted his mood folded his legs together and bowed solemnly with a solemn expression. "I'd like to talk to you about a couple of things, but first, let me say thank you."

I see, I want to play the emotional card. Judging by her words and actions, Wendy took a bottle from her waist and absentmindedly unscrewed the cap. "It's all a gesture, not to mention that the main executor is you, you don't need to be polite~"

"Huh? Oh, you're talking about Chernoberg. The smile on his face was a little stiff, and Zhao Xi coughed dryly twice and said, "That's also worth thanking, but what I really want to thank you is that you played music for everyone in the past two days to help them soothe their sadness." ”

The hand holding the bottle shook slightly, but fortunately, the person concerned reacted quickly and hurriedly re-grasped it. "That's it?"

"Yes," unaware of Wendy's abnormality, Zhao Xi looked at the end of the corridor and said: "Thanks to you, the survivors can more or less look forward, no longer immersed in sadness and despair and unable to extricate themselves, Zoya has also become more optimistic, and will talk and laugh during meals." ”

Raising the bottle and taking a sip, savoring the sweetness of honey and the pungency of alcohol, Wendy was silent for a while before asking, "Is there anything else?" ”

"I want to know," looking around vigilantly, Zhao Xi chose to get straight to the point. "Are you the time-traveler I'm looking for?"

Sure enough, this is what he came for. With a drunken burp, Wendy narrowed her eyes with a smile, raised her index finger at the other party, and slowly swung it a few times. "Yes and no."

"My name is not Nikolai, but I do come from the outside world of Terra and have been in Ursas for three years."

Wrapping his arms around and dropping the sentence 'Sure enough', Zhao Xi lowered his head and fell into thought, and the beautiful young man who saw this scene smiled, put away the wine bottle and looked the young man up and down.

"Aren't you afraid I'll lie?"

"I'm afraid, but I don't need to doubt everyone because of that." Rubbing his knuckles against his beard's unshaven chin, someone quickly added, "If you're deceived, just beat the lying guy half to death." ”

The colorless air masses at their fingertips were converging, the invisible wind elements were singing, and the bard who could 'see' them couldn't help but smile knowingly. He had never been innocent before, why did he suddenly decide to help, and even risk being recognized, to come to Rhode Island, instead of leaving as he did in the past, leaving no trace.

Now Wendy is pale, because the person in front of her is very similar to herself.

"Hehe, no wonder the children are close to you, it's not because of me..."

"Uh, what are you talking about?"

"Hey~~"

Blinked suspiciously, Zhao Xi, who couldn't understand the young man's thoughts, had to give up. Reminding the other party to avoid contracting ore sickness, someone who received Kelsey's communication ended the conversation with a painful face and hurried to the office of the head of the medical department. Watching the other disappear at the end of the corridor, Wendy, humming a minor tune, took out the lyre and looked at the shadow where Red had just appeared as she played.

"There's a strange smell about you, sir."

"Really?" Slowly stepping out of the shadows, the iron-clad man let out a breath and let out a hearty laugh. "First meeting, Aeolus of Teyvat, Lord Barbatos."

The hem of the shirt is windless and automatic, and the beautiful boy plays a beautiful melody, but the voice is as cold as frost. "Are you a member of Heavenly Reason?"

"How is it possible, I haven't been to your world at all." Seeing that the other party was still vigilant, the doctor took off his mask and presented his true face in front of the other party. "Now you're white."

The lyre fell to the ground, but the holder didn't have time to pick it up, Wendy looked back and forth at the end of the corridor and the person in front of him, and said with a complicated expression for a long time: "Should you be..."

"Trouble keeping that guy a secret, thanks." Laughing and putting the mask back on, the doctor took the candy out of his pocket and unhurriedly tore the wrapper. "Interested in joining Rhode Island, Lord Anemo?"
