Chapter 25
The two of them were very busy.
"What is your purpose?"
After hearing Diluk's words, Jingliu did not rush to reply, but enjoyed the fragrance of dandelion wine for a while, and then said:
"I am not here as the public identity of "Sword Head", but as Jingliu's personal identity, so you don't have to worry."
"So what is your intention to steal the Sky Harp?" Diluk did not relax his vigilance.
"This is none of my business, you should ask them." Jingliu looked at Wendy and the others and said.
Diluk looked at them, and Wendy and the others saw that the crisis was over, and they also came down from the second floor. At this time, Wendy also had a bottle of collector's edition dandelion wine in her hand.
"Tell me, why do you want to steal the Sky Harp. "Diluk was not in the mood to care about Wendy's stealing of wine at this time, but asked a few people.
"We didn't steal it, we were wronged!" Paimon shouted on the side.
"This is an honorary knight of the Knights of Favonius. How could he do such a mean thing as stealing?" Wendy blinked at Ying and said.
"..."Ying felt that Wendy was scolding her, but it seemed that she didn't scold him.
"I see, I admire you for daring to draw your sword against a dragon. It's a pity for such a person to join the Knights. "Diluk nodded and said.
"The Knights... were too conservative in dealing with the Wind Dragon, which led to..." Diluk paused here, glanced at Jingliu who was tasting wine, and then continued.
"As a result, they were suppressed by the Fatui in diplomacy and completely lost the initiative in diplomacy. For this... forget it, I don't want to say more. "
"It seems that Master Diluk doesn't like the Knights very much. "Wendy said bluntly.
"It's just a different choice. Then you should answer my question. Why did you steal the Sky Harp? I think even if you didn't steal it, it has a lot to do with you." Diluk said, interrupting Paimon's mouth that wanted to quibble.
"Do you really want to know? You may be involved in a lot of trouble." Wendy said mysteriously.
"Hehe, what I am least afraid of is trouble, and I am a trouble myself." Diluk spread his hands and said.
"Haha, then, please listen to me play a true story..."
"The story I want to tell begins..."
A song fell...
"...This poem... is it? Such an important thing, why do you want me to know. "Diluk said in shock.
"Maybe, the direction of the wind is changing?" Wendy said with a chuckle.
"So, Master Diluk, what is your choice?" Wendy asked.
"I see, I understand, I will help you matchmake. "Diluk agreed.
"And, this..." Diluk looked at Jingliu and said.
"Oh, this is Jingliu, one of our companions." Paimon introduced.
Jingliu had just finished drinking the dandelion wine in his hand, stood up and walked to Paimon and said with a smile:
"Hello, my name is Jingliu."
"..." Diluk did not answer.
"Well~ It's getting late, I'll go back first. Let's meet here tomorrow night." Jingliu said, and then left the tavern.
"Hey! Why are you walking so fast?" Paimon shouted.
"I think I need to remind you." Diluk suddenly said.
"Do you know her identity?" Diluk asked.
"Well... I have guessed that she should be one of the Fatui executives, right?" Ying shook her head and guessed.
"Well, you guessed right, she is the Eleventh Executive of the Fatui, Zero Seat "Sword Head", a very dangerous person. "Diluk said solemnly.
"The seats of the Fatui are ranked according to their strength. There are eight "ladies" active in Mondstadt now. The Knights can barely deal with them, but if even the zero seats get involved... Mondstadt will be very pessimistic." Diluk said with a grim look.
"I think the Mirror Flow is pretty good. They shouldn't do anything dangerous, right?" Paimon said uncertainly.
"Oh, Master Diluk, don't worry. Didn't Mirror Flow say just now? He didn't come as the "Sword Master", but as Mirror Flow." Wendy chuckled and comforted.
"Hmm? When did you say that?" Ying thought to herself.
"Well, I hope so." Diluk nodded, not realizing why Wendy knew what he had just said to Mirror Flow.
"Huh, let me tell you something that ordinary people don't know. The top three of the Fatui have strength comparable to that of gods!"
"!"
"Comparable...comparable...to gods!"
"Hey?"

"Good evening, Columbia. You're the first person I thought of before going to bed today." Jingliu, who was lying on the bed and preparing to fall asleep, suddenly remembered Columbia and quickly took out a feather to hit her.
"Well, good evening."
Listening to Columbia's gentle voice, Jingliu felt like his ears were about to get pregnant.
"By the way, Jingliu, when will you come back to Dongdong?" Columbia asked.
"Well...a few days after obtaining the Heart of Mondstadt, you can go back to Dongdong after finishing things here." Jingliu thought for a while and replied.
"Well, okay, I got it."
...
After a sweet moment with Columbia, he hung up the phone.
Jingliu lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep...
