Chapter 211 Keli doesn’t like being looked down upon
Jiang Bai and Keli stood on the edge of the church square, while Wendy sat swaggering on the fence at the door of the church, waiting for Sora and Paimon to come out.
Waiting and waiting, waiting and waiting, until Wendy was about to lie down bored, Sora and Paimon finally ran out of the door.
They looked anxious, and there were pursuers behind them. It was obvious that they had been discovered.
"You've been discovered, run!"
"Come with me quickly!" Wendy also expected this result and quickly ran towards the planned route. After a while, she disappeared with Sora and Paimon.
The members of the Knights who were catching up stopped at the intersection. They were a little confused about which direction they were running. When they saw an acquaintance named Keli, they asked directly.
"Keli, did you just see a blond man and a man in green clothes? Do you know where they ran to?"
Facing the inquiry, Keli, who knew she was going to lie, was a little nervous.
Jiang Bai patted her head and pointed them in the opposite direction, "They ran that way."
"Thank you!" Several pursuers chased in the direction pointed by Jiang Bai without hesitation.
"Let's go!" After pointing the way, Jiang Bai took Keli directly to Angel's Gift.
Although I don’t know exactly where the gifts from the angels are, you can always find them by following the direction they are running.
Here, Wendy ran into the tavern with a panting Kong, "Boss, we want a place that's a little more secluded."
Diluc glanced at Wendy, then his eyes fell on Sora behind him.
These people were panting and had to hide in the place as soon as they arrived. It looked unusual.
"To be more secluded, there are fewer people on the second floor. But aren't you a bard? Why not choose a lively location."
"Let's wait until next time for paid performances. We'll go up first and see you later."
After Wendy finished speaking, she took Kong and ran up to the second floor.
Seeing these people hurriedly running up to the second floor, Diluc's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Keep an eye on them. They are suspicious. I'm going to ask about the situation." He ordered the bartender next to him and prepared to go out to check the situation.
As soon as I went out, I saw Jiang Bai coming with Keli.
Looking at Keli, he frowned slightly, "Why are you here?"
"Diluc is here just in time. We have something to tell you."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
"That's it..."
Jiang Bai briefly told what happened, from the song Wendy sang, to the entire plan to save Tevalin, to stealing the Sky Piano.
"Let's talk about it first."
In the corner of the second floor of the tavern, looking at Diluc with an expressionless face, Wendy politely took out the drink she had brought.
Diluc's eyes passed over this unreliable poet and looked at Jiang Bai.
"I didn't expect that you, an outsider, would be willing to lend a helping hand to Mondstadt in times of crisis. You know, once this kind of thing is discovered by the Knights, it will be very troublesome for you to operate in Mondstadt in the future."
Although he is not the principal culprit, as an accomplice, once he is discovered stealing Mondstadt's treasure, the consequences are not something ordinary people can bear.
He didn't make a mistake. In terms of morality, Jiang Bai's character was very good.
"It doesn't count as lending a helping hand. I didn't do anything. The one who really helped was our honorary knight."
Jiang Bai signaled to Diluc that he was bearish. He was just a bastard, and he really didn't do anything. This honorary knight was the one doing all the hard work.
Diluc looked at Kong for a moment and looked a little regretful, "Are you the popular newcomer of the Knights? With your character, it would be a pity to join the Knights."
"So what do you mean?" Jiang Bai felt that Diluc seemed to have a lot of objections to the Knights.
"The Knights of the West Wind have been timid and inefficient when it comes to the issue of the Wind Demon Dragon. They are also weak and conservative in diplomacy towards the Fools."
As he spoke, Diluc took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions in his heart.
"Forget it, I don't want to bring up this topic any more."
Listening to his words, Jiang Bai vaguely understood.
Diluc's mentality is probably that he hates it and refuses to fight.
Jiang Bai didn't know much about the Knights, nor did he understand the Knights' style of conduct. As for diplomacy, he had only seen Qin talk to the diplomatic envoy once.
He didn't know the specific situation and didn't comment much on it.
Wendy sighed, "It seems that Master Diluc doesn't like the Knights of the West Wind very much."
"It's just that the paths are different. I have my own expectations for the city of Mondstadt."
He skipped the topic and looked at Sora, "Have you got your Sky Piano?"
"No." Both Sora and Paimon shook their heads.
Pamon put his hands on his hips and stamped his feet angrily in the air:
"We were about to get it, but suddenly a strange masked guy came out and took away the Sky Piano! And we were discovered!"
"Weird guy?"
"A man wearing a mask looks like a fool!"
Diluc frowned, "Fools? Why did Fools steal the Sky Piano?"
Pamon put his hands on his hips, "They have been coveting the power of the Wind God's Familiar. There must be some conspiracy to steal the Sky Piano!"
"I will investigate this matter." Diluc's brows relaxed slightly and he looked at Sora, "A wanted notice for the Knights is probably already being made. The poet and you, you'd better not leave the tavern."
He looked at Keli and Jiang Bai, "Follow me."
Jiang Bai blinked and followed Diluc out in confusion.
At the door, Diluc glanced down at Keli, then at Jiang Bai, and said in a serious tone, "Stealing is not suitable for children!"
Hearing Diluc say she was a child, Keli puffed up her cheeks and said angrily, "Keli is a Spark Knight, not a child!"
Jiang Bai sneered, it was really not a good idea to have children with children when it came to stealing things, even if their starting point was good.
"I was negligent"
"Anyway, just leave the rest of the matter to us adults. Go back and rest."
Mondstadt doesn't need children to step up and save it.
Looking at Diluc's walking back, Keli put her hands on her hips angrily, "Keli doesn't like being looked down upon!"
"No one will underestimate Keli, but it is getting late. There is no other action tonight. Let's go back and rest."
"What about the poet brother, the honorary knight brother, and little Paimon?"
"They'll be staying in the tavern tonight."
"Then Keli will come see them tomorrow."
Taking Keli back to sleep, Jiang Bai stood by the window on the third floor, watching Mond in the night and lost in thought.
The corrupted dragon, the Abyss cult in the darkness, the envoy from the Winter Kingdom who exerted pressure, the stolen piano of the sky, and the god of wind who was unwilling to reveal his true identity.
This matter is by no means as simple as it seems.
In comparison, Liyue is really stable.
Alas, I miss the hall master a bit. I wonder if she has cheered up?
Walnut, who was lying lazily on the roof and spread out in a large shape, sneezed.
"Aqiu~ It must be Jiang Bai who is talking about me."
"Damn that guy, if he had the guts to come back, he really wouldn't come back tonight."
