26, Lyre in the Sky

"Miss Catherine, you said that Mondstadt's treasure, the harp of the Anemo God and the Lyre of the Sky, was stolen?"

In the crowd, a rugged man quickly answered Lin Chen's doubts.

Hoffman, who was maintaining order next to him, explained: "Just last night, a thief in green clothes infiltrated the cathedral and stole the Sky Lyre, and now we have entrusted the Adventurers Guild to issue a commissioned mission, hoping that all adventurers can help us catch that thief together." ”

"The guy in green?"

Lin Chen's eyes widened, it couldn't be the most disdainful god of the Wind God who went to steal the Sky Piano alone, right?

And...... Maybe the Sky Lyre hasn't been captured by him, but has been framed by the Fatui Warlocks, the real masterminds behind the scenes.

Lin Chen couldn't help but cover his face with his hands.

Sure enough, the wind god is the most unreliable of the seven gods.

After receiving an official reply from the Knights of Favonius, the crowd exploded in an instant, and everyone was discussing the matter of the thief enthusiastically.

And judging from the commission issued by the Knights alone, the reward is quite not low, as long as you can provide accurate clues, there are 20,000 Mora for one.

And if you can catch and recover the Sky Lyre, the reward will be even more generous, a full 500,000 Mora.

This is what makes the onlookers boil.

Mora is a good thing, even Barbatos, the god of wind, suffers from not having enough Mora to buy dandelion wine on the gift of angels.

It can be said that there is no one who does not want to earn these 500,000 Mora.

Except, of course, someone who is wiping sweat and preparing to sneak out of the crowd.

When Lin Chen saw the reward of 500,000, his heart and lungs were about to stop.

It's not that you want to catch Barbatos right away, but you want to get out of it right away!

He didn't want anything to go wrong when he was about to go home, if some people knew that he had been rescued by the people in green when Stormterror attacked, then he wouldn't be able to escape anyway.

However, he was also a little puzzled, although only Jean and a few people were present when he recounted his rescue experience, but it was obvious that they could also contact him.

However, it had been at least ten hours since the incident, and the Knights of Favonius had not contacted him.

Could it be the instruction of the piano?

Or is it like the game, Jean plans to secretly participate in the plan to save Stormterror, and has already met with Barbatos, so she forgets about him in order not to startle the snake?

Lin Chen's mind stormed for a while, and after a moment, he shook his head and shook off these chaotic clues.

Whatever, he's about to leave soon, and he has nothing to do with these things.

However, just as he left smoothly, at this time, Ying, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly followed and grabbed his hand.

dragged him into the alleys of the houses outside the crowd.

"Wait...... Slow down, slow down! ”

Ying's speed was not unfast, Lin Chen was pulled and couldn't react at all, and his throat was instantly filled with wind.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Ying to stop.

Lin Chen propped his hands on his knees and panted slightly, and when he looked up, he saw Ying's delicate face being a stone's throw away from him.

Heavy breathing hit Ying's face, and she blushed slightly, and then quickly regained her composure.

"What are you doing~?"

Lin Chen adjusted his breathing, with an expression of I don't know you.

Ying looked at Lin Chen intently, trying to find any difference in his expression.

What kind of person is Lin Chen, his face can be thickened into a wall, and he returned a scrutinizing look, and at the same time, he looked at Ying's figure wantonly like a disciple.

Anyway, I'm about to leave, don't look at it!

Should I say it or not, Ying is worthy of being the heroine of Genshin Impact, her figure and appearance are really good!

It's just that he is not too tall, about the same height as Amber, with Lin Chen's condescending angle, coupled with careful observation, it is entirely possible to see some unusual scenery through the bandeau of the skirt.

Ying obviously also noticed Lin Chen's unscrupulous eyes, and there was a hint of shyness and anger in her gentle and resolute eyes.

Gritting her teeth slightly, Ying finally spoke: "You, do you know the emptiness?" ”

"Empty? What is empty? Lin Chen pretended to be stupid: "Do you say the sky or do you mean the piano of the sky?" Oh - you're going to catch the thief, I won't make it, if I knew I'd catch it myself. ”

Lin Chen's exaggerated expression made Ying a little unpredictable, but her intuition felt that the frivolous and lascivious man in front of her was likely to know some truths.

And judging from what she had observed since she spotted him, not only did the man show a very unusual reaction to the incident at the Sky Lyre, but he also did not dress like a Mondstadt.

Give her the feeling of being a fellow traveler.

That's why she ignored the reserve of women and directly brought him over to chat privately.

However, looking at his unbeaten expression, Ying was unsure of his judgment.

"You ......" Ying opened her mouth, she was not good at words, and she was even more desperate for words in the face of the cheeky Lin Chen at the moment, but fortunately, she had calculated the problem in her heart before she was ready to talk.

So he just stammered and quickly continued: "My name is Hotaru, and I am very interested in the commission of the Sky Lyre, so I want to team up with you to complete it, what do you think?" ”

"No ......"

Lin Chen subconsciously wanted to refuse, but immediately recalled that he had just said, "If I knew I'd arrest myself", he immediately changed his tone: "No...... Not bad! I'm interested in this commission, but I don't like teaming up with other people, after all, there is only so much pay, and I don't want to share with one more person. ”

Ying replied without hesitation: "I don't need to be paid, I just want to help the people of the Knights." ”

The corners of Lin Chen's mouth twitched, as if he wanted this reward.

"That's not going to work either."

"Why?"

There was suspicion in his golden eyes, as long as Lin Chen was slightly dissatisfied with his answer, he might immediately suspect him.

Lin Chen ignored her imposing eyes and shrugged his shoulders: "I already have a companion, I don't need you." ”

"Can you tell me who it is?"

Ying didn't know where to take out a crescent-shaped one-handed sword, and her onion white fingers wiped the non-existent dust on it, and the sharp edge of the blade made a trace of cold sweat break out on Lin Chen's forehead.

Is this a negotiation that cannot be discussed to use force?

Just kidding, will I, Lin someone, compromise because of this threat?

Lin Chen patted his chest and said righteously: "Actually, I have long seen that my companion is unhappy, you came just in time, I kicked him, the two of us are very suitable to team up together!" ”

Ying showed a weak smile, withdrew her one-handed sword, and pulled the tip of her hair with her index finger: "Then please take care of it!" ”

"Definitely, definitely!" Lin Chen looked at the harmless Yingmei in front of him, revealing an expression of wanting to cry without tears.

"By the way, you haven't said what your name is?"

"Lin Chen, the forest of the forest, the chen of the birthday."
