"No, no, no, that's not the story I read."

Rhode shook his finger and said with a smile, "In this story I've read, the protagonist is called Bruce. He was born in a city called Gotham. His family is one of the four major families in Gotham, and he is the only legal heir to the family."

"When Bruce was a child, he went to the cinema with his parents to watch a movie. On the way home, he saw his parents being murdered. After that, he inherited his family business and became the richest man in Gotham."

"Nothing."

"During the day, he is the top rich young man who is fascinated by everyone. At night, he will put on a mask and wander in the dark streets like a ghost. In the name of the Dark Knight, he punishes the evildoers who commit crimes."

As Rhodes spoke, although the smile on Kaia's face did not change, his palms were actually exerting force.

A wealthy man with immense wealth, the only heir of a large family, he watched his parents die in front of his own eyes. He is a wealthy man during the day and a hero of the night at night.

Fortunately, Rhodes is not from Mondstadt, and he is Lisa's junior brother.

Otherwise, Kaiya would definitely put him on the key monitoring list and monitor his actions day and night.

This man in Rod's story.

It can't be said that they are exactly the same as his sworn brother Diluk, but it can be said that they are basically the same.

Kaeya, who was always confident in his ability to judge people, was unable to tell for a moment whether Rhodes' story was a coincidence or he was really implying that he, an outsider, knew everything about Diluk.

Wait until Rhodes finishes the story.

Kaiya clapped his hands with a wry smile and nodded, saying, "It is indeed a good story. This Dark Night Hero is indeed a hero."

Wendy, who was standing by, also joined in the fun after listening to it: "Yes, and this is really a good material. If I write this story into a new song, it will definitely be a big hit."

Kaiya's face twitched slightly, and then he laughed awkwardly: "Good idea."

The atmosphere became a little tense.

Just as Kaia was about to get up and say goodbye, Lisa, who had spent more than an hour eating breakfast, finally came back.

With her.

There is also Qin, who has dark circles under her eyes and has to drink coffee to improve her looks while walking.

"Junior brother, thank you for your hard work."

Lisa smiled and greeted Rhode. She also said to Kaia, "Alas, I haven't finished the potion you asked me to develop last time. The recent Wind Dragon attack has kept me very busy, and the progress of developing the potion has been delayed a lot."

"It's not about the potion."

Kaia twitched the corner of his mouth.

Lisa is a very capable but procrastinating potion master. Basically, she will not deliver the medicine until the last day of the agreed time. This is a well-known fact in the entire Knights of Favonius. Now that the agreed time has not arrived yet, he naturally will not urge her.

As for why he didn't do his job as the cavalry captain, but instead went to the library and stayed there for half the morning.

Kaia did not answer immediately, but glanced at Rod and Wendy beside him calmly from the corner of his eye.

Qin understood and replied, "Mr. Rhodes and this one, this one."

"He is Wendy. He is the helper I found. You can trust him."

Rod introduced himself for Wendy.

Qin nodded: "They can all be trusted, just tell me what you have to say."

"It's Noelle."

Kaiya, who had great confidence in Jean's abilities, stopped talking nonsense and spread his hands, saying, "Noelle wanted to fight the Wind Dragon alone, so I found her some work and sent her away. I happened to see her coming here to look for Lisa, so I wanted to tell Lisa that no matter what potion Noelle wanted, she must say that it was out of stock or use some other excuse to delay her. Then I met Mr. Rhodes and Mr. Wendy here."

"That's it."

Upon hearing that 'Noelle is going to fight the Wind Dragon alone', Qin shook her head helplessly.

She knew Noelle's character better than anyone else.

It was normal for this kind-hearted apprentice knight to want to get rid of the Wind Dragon when he saw that the residents of Mondstadt were suffering from the wind disaster brought by Tevarin.

"You did very well."

Qin sighed, then looked at Rhodes and said, "Mr. Rhodes, I heard from Lisa that you have something to talk to me about?"

"Ah."

"I would like to borrow the Sky Harp."

Kaia would avoid Rhodes, but Rhodes had no intention of avoiding him and directly stated his request.

"Sky Harp?"

This request stunned everyone present.

Fortunately.

No one questioned this.

Only Qin asked seriously, "May I ask what you want to do with the Sky Harp?"

It concerns Mondstadt's greatest treasure.

Even though Jean is the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius, she cannot make the decision on this matter on her own.

"Here, this one."

Rhode pointed at Wendy and said, "This bard knows a kind of poetry inherited from the God of Wind. As long as he can play it smoothly, he can calm the anger of the Wind Dragon and make it calm down so that it will no longer destroy the city."

Compared to borrowing a piano.

This is truly a weighty statement.

The words "can calm the anger of the Wind Demon Dragon" made Qin respectful and even spoke to Wendy politely: "Mr. Wendy, is this true?"

"Yes."

Wendy didn't keep him in suspense and followed Rhode's words and said, "But I must use the instrument that the Wind God used to succeed. Using an ordinary piano will be useless even if I can play that song."

"Mr. Wendy, can you take responsibility for what you said?"

Even with Rhode, the Grass God's special envoy, as a guarantor, Qin still didn't completely believe what Wendy said. She said with force first and courtesy later, "This involves Mondstadt's treasure. Please forgive me for having to act with caution. If you are not absolutely sure, I am afraid I cannot lend the Sky Harp to you for the sake of its safety."

really.

Rhodes knew it.

That is to say, only in the game, whatever the protagonist says, a leader like Jean who holds power in Mondstadt will unconditionally believe.

In reality, it is normal for her to have such doubts.

Anyway.

The Sky Harp is a treasure left by the God of Wind and is of great significance to Mondstadt.

Don't say it was destroyed.

Even if they were just bumped or bruised, it would be enough to make those fanatical believers of the West Wind Church look for Wendy and Jean to fight to the death.

"Tsk, the followers of the Wind God are looking for the Wind God to fight to the death."

"It seems to be quite fun."

Thinking of this, Rhodes suddenly wanted to laugh.

However, when he thought about the fact that this matter was related to his and Wendy's plan, he suppressed his smile and vouched for Wendy again, "This matter has been verified by Lord Grass God as being feasible. According to Void's calculations, the success rate is over 98%."

Raising the banner of the Grass God.

This operation works really well in front of Qin.

"it is good."

Qin took a deep breath, as if she had made some important decision, and nodded heavily, saying, "I will lend you the Sky Harp as soon as possible, but since the Archbishop is not here, it will be more troublesome than before. You may have to wait for a day or two."

then.

She seemed to be worried and reminded him again and again: "The safety of the Sky Harp is extremely important to Mondstadt. You must use it carefully and never damage it."

"understood."

It only took a day or two, which was much shorter than Rhodes expected.

He originally thought that it would take ten days or half a month to go through the formal process.

He was prepared for this.

If it really takes that long, he would just follow the Traveler's example and go directly to the West Wind Church to steal.

If she, the traveler, could steal it, why can't I, Rhodes, steal it?

But now if you say you only need to wait a day or two, then it's okay.

It is always safer to follow the formal process than to steal a piano.

What if the Fatui intervened when he was stealing the piano and exposed the matter to others? He would not be able to explain himself to both Jean and Lisa.

We agreed to borrow the piano.

Rhode was in a good mood. Seeing Qin's tired face, he asked casually, "Have you found those Abyss Mages?"

Speaking of the Abyss Mage.

Qin hasn't replied yet.

Kaiya's brows, which were already furrowed because of the borrowing of the harp, suddenly twisted even deeper: "Captain Qin, why didn't you tell me about this?"

Abyss mages appeared in Mondstadt.

This is no small matter.

As the captain of the cavalry, Kaia was completely unaware of this, which made him feel like he had failed in his duty.

"It happened suddenly. I only received the warning from Mr. Rhodes last night and didn't have time to tell you."

Qin explained to Kaia with an apologetic look on her face.

She was the one who led the team to capture the Abyss Mage last night.

In order to prevent the capture process from affecting the surrounding residents, Qin acted at the fastest speed and with all her strength, and captured those abyss mages in a swift manner.

"it is a pity."

"Only one person was left alive."

Qin said regretfully.

The group of Abyss Mages who sneaked into the city were complete lunatics. When they realized there was no hope of escape, they would shout slogans like "His Royal Highness the Prince will avenge us" and then commit suicide.

It took a long time.

Only one person was caught alive, which made Qin very upset.

Moreover, this person is very tight-lipped. No matter what you do, he won't say anything. After being busy all night and playing the piano for half a morning, I am really exhausted.

Hearing that the captured creature was unwilling to speak, Kaia immediately became excited and said eagerly: "Give it to me, I promise to make it speak."

Rhode said quietly at this time: "Give it some pure elemental crystals, and it will surrender."

Hear the words.

Kaiya's eyes lit up and he grinned, "Oh, I didn't realize you're an expert at torture."

"My senior brother is the great disciplinarian of Xumi and taught me a few tricks."

Rhodes smiled and shared his experience with Kaia as if no one was around.

Seno is a master of torture, and his memory recovery skills are superb. Not to mention living people, even the Abyss Cult would be worse than death if they fell into his hands.

These experiences inherited from the Grand Disciplinary Officer gave Kaia great inspiration.

As soon as the two finished talking about this topic, he immediately said to Qin: "Captain Qin, I will go to interrogate the Abyss Mage."

Say it.

His figure disappeared at the fastest speed.

And Kaia just left.

Qin seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and said, "Mr. Rhodes, you still need to help me draft a copy of the matter I talked about last night."

Spreading rumors of fools.

This is no small matter.

If you want to make the fools so busy that they have no time to take care of other things, you have to make the rumor so realistic that it is difficult to find loopholes.
