A moment later, a Stormbearer Knight named Otto came with a few others to ask: "Master Diluc, have you seen those two thieves?"
Diluc did not mention Wendy and his companions. Regarding the actions of the Skyward Harp, he scoffed, "Someone would be foolish enough to steal something that can't be sold? They'd be better off stealing from my wine cellar."
"Indeed, no one in Mondstadt would dare to accept that thing."
"It was once used by the Wind God Barbatos."
"Don't let the carefree nature of Mondstadters fool you, many of them still hold Barbatos in their hearts."
Diluc pointed in a wrong direction, very friendly.
【Kaeya: Applause】
After sending the Knights away, Diluc turned to Wendy, "Put down that wine you stole from behind the cabinet."
"???"
"Hahaha."
"Barbatos actually took some wine along with it."
"I've gotten drunk with him a few times at the tavern."
Wendy smiled apologetically and said he could repay the debt with a performance.
Of course, Diluc didn't care about the money.
Wendy introduced the Traveler to Master Diluc and praised the dandelion wine from his winery.
Diluc: "Let me make it clear, you actually dared to steal the Skyward Harp, I admire that. Even if you're fools, you're the kind of fools that only appear once in a millennium."
At this point, Paimon explained that they didn't even get their hands on it.
【Amber: Master Diluc seems to have a lot of opinions about our Knights of Favonius】
【Kaeya: Well, it's hard to say】
Diluc spoke frankly, saying that the Knights were inefficient in dealing with the Stormterror, they were timid, and they were weak and conservative against the Fatui.
【Diluc: That's my opinion】
【Muchen: I felt the same way watching the livestream】
【Jean: Even Mr. Muchen feels this way?】
Diluc asked for the reason, and Wendy once again played the story of the dragon.
Diluc thought it was interesting: "Give me some time, I can try to connect the dots."
The Traveler and Wendy stayed until the evening.
When they saw the person Diluc had brought, they were surprised, it was Jean, the Acting Grand Master.
【Lisa: Oh, Jean was called in by her senior again】
【Eula: Our Acting Grand Master is someone who... doesn't know how to refuse】
【Barbara: I think so too】
【Jean: Eh?】
【Diluc: I invited Jean, not the Acting Grand Master】
Sure enough, in the livestream, Diluc said the same thing.
【Sangonomiya Kokomi: This livestream is terrifying, he even says the same things】
【Yae Miko: This is just one of the many timelines in our world】
Jean: "Due to diplomatic pressure from the Fatui, the Knights of Favonius cannot publicly express goodwill towards Stormterror. It would be interpreted as condoning and inaction."
Jean: "The Fatui, commanded by the Cryo Archon, are coveting the power left behind by the Wind God."
"The Fatui are a group with ill intentions."
"But they are very rich."
First, Diluc used his intelligence network to find out that the Fatui dared not hide the Skyward Harp in Mondstadt City, as it would cause diplomatic problems if discovered.
Everyone set out together towards the Fatui's hiding place.
Whether it was the Acting Grand Master Jean or Master Diluc.
Their formidable strength was not something these debt collectors could withstand.
They defeated the leader and successfully retrieved the Skyward Harp.
Debt Collector: "Such an act of offense, the Signora wouldn't allow it."
【Kaeya: Seems like he revealed a lot of useful information】
【Diluc: The Fatui have no good intentions, that's for sure】
【Signora: What are you looking at me for? I didn't want to hide, the Fatui have their own tasks and missions】
Even though they retrieved the Skyward Harp, it had lost its power due to its age. Luckily, the Traveler had preserved a crystal of Stormterror's tears.
But it wasn't enough yet.
Aether seriously said: "Leave it to me."
The screen froze at this moment.
「The first episode of the story livestream has ended. Below will be two additional questions and answers」
「Each question can be answered twice by each of the Seven Nations' representatives, the answers can be the same」
「The general audience livestream will randomly select 10,000 people to answer each question」
「There are no penalties for the additional questions, but they will accumulate Original Sin Stars and the general audience livestream's wrong answer value」
「Please think carefully, this will be your last chance to turn the tables this episode」
【Dehya: The last chance to turn the tables, gotta grab it】
【Tighnari: I feel like it's very difficult】
【Arataki Itto: With this great lord around, there's always a chance】
【Kujou Sara: Seeing you, you idiot, there's no chance at all】
【Sangonomiya Kokomi: Go for it, Gorou】
Diluc, Gorou, and the Dendro Archon were still sitting in the back of the classroom, dejected.
「Additional Question 1, please guess which character from another timeline uttered this voice?」
【Paimon: It's a voice question right away?】
【Xinyan: Shh, Paimon, be quiet, everyone is very focused】
???: "If he doesn't come soon, I'm not letting him back in this house. If he doesn't come, don't come back!"
???: "I'm not going to live like this anymore! If you want to come, come, if not, goodbye!!!"
???: "There's no place for you in this family anymore!!! There's no place for you in this house! Ah!!!"
【Thoma: What is this?】
【Kamisato Ayaka: A very angry girl's voice】
【Keqing: This is guessing people?】
【Mona: How is anyone supposed to guess this】
「1: Eula, 2: Beidou, 3: Kamisato Ayaka, 4: Dehya, 5: Faruzan, 6: Marjorine, 7: Signora」
「5 minutes to consider」
