Chapter 58: Barbara
When Sasuke and Wendy arrive at the bridge at the gates of Mondstadt, they meet two acquaintances.
Amber & Kaeya.
They were leading the Knights at one end of the bridge, and the thick planks were stacked neatly to form a line of defense.
"Huh? What happened in Mondstadt? ”
Paimon, who floated beside Sasuke, then shouted in the direction where Amber was:
"Hey, Amber, what are you doing?"
Amber hears someone calling her, and looks in the direction of the voice, and sees Sasuke, Wendy, and Paimon.
"Ah, it's you! Paimon, the new Honorary Knight Sasuke, and ...... Wendy the Bard! ”
She trotted over to a few people, and said:
"We are in the process of arranging defenses, and this morning, the monsters outside the city suddenly seemed to go crazy and have been attacking the city."
"Fortunately, I detected the movement a long time ago, the hilichurl settlement unnaturally moved to the vicinity of Mondstadt, plus Sasuke has been cleaning up the hilichurls some time ago, and there is also the head of the Koto in the city, only some of the knights were injured in this defense, and the residents were not harmed."
"Oh! That's really great, thank you guys! ”
Paimon clapped his little hands in the air.
"But why did the hilichurls suddenly attack Mondstadt?"
She asked.
"yes."
Amber's tone was just as puzzled.
"The hilichurls should not have the ability to organize such a large-scale attack......"
That's when Kaeya came to them.
"Because behind this is the ghost of the Abyss Order, there is indeed a person behind the hilichurls who are in command."
He said and looked at Sasuke.
"Did you get the Lyre in the Sky?"
"yes, got it."
Sasuke said.
"And the people who fought Dvalin today are also you? Does your presence here mean that you have won? ”
Kaeya continued.
Sasuke nodded.
"You see?"
"Of course, when Stormterror and you were fighting in the sky, there was such a big movement, it was difficult to find out."
"But thanks to you, otherwise it would have been more than just a group of hilichurls attacking Mondstadt today."
"Their attack plan today has changed, originally the people behind the scenes planned to let the hilichurls as the vanguard to harass and contain the personnel, and then let the elite abyss mages and Stormterror directly raid the city, but because of Stormmagic's absence, they finally gave up the plan to attack on all fronts."
Kaeya folded her arms over her chest and leaned against a wooden wall, her legs crossed, making her posture a little more comfortable.
"Huh? This...... Kaeya, how do you know? ”
Paimon was surprised.
"Of course, I found out by some small means."
Kaeya said with a smile.
"Huh? What kind of small means can you use to inquire about this? No matter how you look at it, it looks like only hilichurls who participated in the attack would know about it, right? ”
Paimon looked at Kaeya with suspicion.
"You won't be an undercover agent sent by the hilichurls, Kaeya!"
"Hehehe...... Paimon is really humorous, if I were an undercover agent sent by the hilichurls, it would all be undercover to the upper echelons of the Knights, which is too ......"
"No kidding, you can think of it as my natural talent for languages."
He pulled out a hand from his arms and waved it casually, as if to express that it was just a trivial matter.
At this time, Wendy, who had not spoken before, suddenly asked.
"You're from Kamria, aren't you?"
"Oh?"
Kaeya looked at Wendy beside Sasuke in some surprise.
"What a well-informed bard."
"But it doesn't matter who I am, it's important."
Kaya paused, expressing the importance of what he was going to say next.
"That Ruler is called Her Royal Highness the Princess by the monsters of the Abyss Order."
"The plan to transform Dvalin into a weapon of war was also planned and carried out by her."
"So you'd better be a little more careful when you've been around Mondstadt lately, you've messed up their core plans, and I don't think they'll give up so easily."
"I'll go and report to Captain Qin about the Wind Demon Dragon first, the dragon plague has been lifted, and there are no tricks to play on the side of the Winter Kingdom."
Kaeya turned and walked toward the city.
"If you run into any trouble that you can't handle, remember to come to the Knights to find me, Sasuke, you are already a member of our Knights of Favonius."
Abyss Princess...... Dvalin, weapon of war.
A series of nouns made Sasuke realize that he should be caught up in a huge storm in this world.
Paimon scratched her head in confusion, Kaeya had overloaded her with what she said.
"What does Kaeya mean that the trouble hasn't been completely resolved?"
"I'm afraid so."
Wendy sighed as well.
"I didn't expect to wake up this time, and the trouble was unexpected."
"Maybe it's the biggest change in Teyvat in a century?"
"It feels like it's all stories that can be written into poetry."
Wendy pulls Raza Suke.
"Let's return the Sky Lyre first."
"yes, okay."
Waving goodbye to Amber, Sasuke and the others continued in the direction of Mondstadt Cathedral.
Entering the church, he found a nun, and was about to ask how to return the Sky Lyre, when a scream full of terror suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Ahh Ghost! ”
What's moving?
Sasuke looked in the direction the voice was coming from.
A girl with blonde hair and a double ponytail, wearing a pure white skirt, was holding a book in front of him at this time, her lovely face trembled a little with panic at this time, and at the same time there were words in her mouth:
"Lord Barbatos, the god of wind blesses me, I banish you, filthy souls, all demonic forces, all invaders from hell, all demonic legions, all evil sects and churches, therefore, cursed demons, all dark forces, we give you a commandment, stop encroaching on humanity......"
The girl's behavior made Sasuke confused, what is this, isn't Barbatos, the god of wind, standing by his side?
Sasuke stepped forward, wanting to ask what was going on.
The girl saw Sasuke's movements, and the expression of panic on her face was even worse, but she didn't take half a step back, but the speed of chanting became faster.
The scene was a strange one, and everyone in the church was looking at it, but they didn't understand why Miss Barbara, who had always been lively and graceful, had become like this.
Paimon slapped her head on the back, and she reacted.
"Oh no, Sasuke, I forgot to tell you, she's Barbara!"
