Chapter 99 Diluc

Time suddenly came to evening.

After the cathedral staff got off work, Wendy, Ying, Paimon and the other two sneaked into the cathedral.

Although there was indeed no one in the cathedral, there were still many Knights of Favonius patrolling in the basement where the Sky Harp was placed.

Relying on his superb physical skills, Ying quickly bypassed the patrolling Knight of Favonius and came to the place where the Sky Harp was placed.

She was just about to step forward and take the Sky Harp not far away.

But the accident happened at this time.

A mysterious purple figure suddenly appeared next to the Sky Harp.

Before Yingdu could react, the purple figure disappeared with the Sky Harp.

Looking at the disappearing Sky Harp and the Knight of Favonius who had heard the news and was rushing here.

Ying fell silent for a moment.

fluorescent:"……"

But even if you remain silent, you still have to run.

Her thoughts returned, Ying turned around and ran away.

We can't be caught by the Knight of Favonius at this time.

Otherwise, yellow mud will fall into your trouser pocket, which will be the case.

"How is it?" Wendy asked curiously when she saw Ying running out of the basement, "Did you get the Sky Harp?"

Ying replied: "A mysterious purple figure got there first."

"I see." Wendy nodded.

"Then what should we do now?"

"What else can we do? Run!"

After saying that, Wendy turned and ran away under Ying's incredible gaze.

fluorescent:"……"

"I'm so pissed. I told you this bard is unreliable!"

Paimon is very angry now, but he has no choice but to run away with Ying.

Ying followed Wendy closely and soon arrived at the Angel's Gift.

As for the Angel's Gift, Ying had been here before, so she was familiar with it.

But she was a little curious, why did Wendy come here?

Without having time to think, Ying hesitated for a moment and followed.

Diluk was a little surprised when he saw Venti hurriedly running in with Ying and Paimon.

"Boss, we... want a slightly more secluded place." After entering the door, Wendy walked stealthily to Diluk and whispered.

"If you want to be hidden, the second floor has fewer people." Diluk nodded: "But aren't you a bard? Why not choose a more crowded location?"

"Ahaha, we'll have to wait until next time for paid performances. We'll go up first, see you later~!"

After Wendy left, Ying took a look at the man with fiery red hair and extraordinary appearance, and followed him with Paimon.

After seeing that several people had gone up, Diluk said to the bartender Charles, "Keep an eye on them. That poet is suspicious, I'm going to ask about the situation."

"Uh, who to ask?" Charles asked puzzledly.

Diluk said calmly, "The security guards of Mondstadt."

At the same time, Kong Zheng, who had come to the second floor of the tavern, was observing the movements below with a nervous look on his face.

Ying asked with a worried look on her face: "Vendy, this Diluk won't betray us, right?"

"It's okay, as long as we give him a reasonable explanation later." Wendy waved her hand nonchalantly, "Let's stay out of the spotlight for a while." "Then we'll find a way to get back the stolen Sky Harp."

"This is the only way." Ying nodded and answered while leaning on the wooden railing to carefully explore the situation below.

She didn't feel relieved until two members of the Knights of Favonius were sent away by Diluk.

After the Knights of Favonius left, Wendy went downstairs first. Seeing this, Ying followed them down with Paimon.

"I want to drink today..." Wendy said while pretending to be thoughtful while standing at the bar in the pub.

Before Wendy could finish his words, Diluk, who was standing behind him and observing him, interrupted him and said, "Put down the wine you stole from under the cabinet."

Wendy put down the drink in her hand, turned around and said to Diluk with an embarrassed look, "Ahaha... drink something colder."

"Okay, it's time for you to answer my questions properly." Diluk said expressionlessly.

"Let me finish my drink first, I'll pay the bill... um, I'll pay it off with my performance."

"It's not about money. You don't look old enough to buy alcohol." Diluk shook his head.

"Don't worry about that. You were still here when we were drinking..." Wendy spread her hands.

"Well, why don't you answer my question first?" Ying couldn't help but interrupt when she saw Wendy actually brought up a question she didn't want to answer.

"This is Master Diluk, the big boss behind the tavern." When Wendy heard Ying's words, he understood and explained.

"Excuse me." Diluk said, "It seems that you are still being chased by the guards right now?"

fluorescent:"……"

"I just heard about the thief from the guards."

"Let me be clear, I admire your courage in stealing the Sky Harp."

"Even if you are fools, you are a rare fool in a thousand years."

fluorescent:"……"

After hearing what Diluk said, Kong was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head.

"We didn't steal it! The real criminal is someone else!" Paimon defended angrily with his hands on his hips.

"This is a popular newcomer to the Knights. Why would he steal Mondstadt's holy relics?"

Wendy blinked at Ying and whispered, "Don't you think so?"

Ying nodded helplessly.

"The popular newcomer...? Ah, it's you." Venti's words made Diluk look at Yingdao with surprise and admiration.

"Why, are you acquainted with that bard?"

"Actually, not that familiar." Ying raised her eyelids.

"Well... as a traveler, you are willing to lend a helping hand to Mondstadt in distress." Diluk nodded.
"It's a shame for such a person to join the Knights."

"The Knights of Favonius... have been timid and inefficient in dealing with the Wind Dragon."

"In diplomacy, he is also weak and conservative towards the Fatui."

"Tsk... Never mind. I don't want to talk about this topic any more."

Wendy also expressed what Ying was thinking at the moment, "It seems that Master Diluc really doesn't like the Knights of Favonius."

"We just have different paths." Diluk said noncommittally, "I have my own expectations for the city of Mondstadt..."

"Okay, enough of the small talk." Diluk stopped talking here and turned to ask the two people: "Then it's time to answer my question. Why did you steal the Sky Harp?"

Wendy blinked. "Do you really want to know? You might get into trouble with the Knights."

“…Haha. I’m not afraid of trouble. I myself am the trouble of the Knights,” Diluk replied calmly.

“So, if I were to play a true story, would you believe me?”
