Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Continuing from the last chapter, at the invitation of Jean and Paimon, Jiang Ming, an adventurer, accepted the commission regarding the Wind Dragon. However, this may be because they are worried that Jiang Ming may leak something, so they want to keep Jiang Ming in their sight by using the form of a commission.

"Um......"

Wendy looked at the Sky Harp in her hand, and suddenly felt a little regretful.

"What's wrong, Master Wendy? Is there any problem with the Skyharp?"

Qin asked, not without some concern.

"Hey, it's not the piano's problem, it's the strings. It's your turn to take action, Ying!"

"I?"

Ying tilted her head cutely to express her confusion.

"Don't worry. I'm not asking you to repair this precious harp. It's just that the concentration of wind elements attached to these strings is far from enough. By the way, have you preserved Tevarin's tear crystals well?"

Wendy looked at Ying hopefully.

Ying lived up to everyone's expectations and took out a purified tear crystal. Under Wendy's guidance, she dropped it on the Sky Harp, and the Sky Harp became clearer.

"Oh, as expected."

Wendy said with confidence.

"By the way, I remember that Jiang Ming asked Ying and I to keep this tear crystal, so I have to thank Jiang Ming."

Paimeng looked at Jiang Ming and said. The others also looked over.

"Oh?"

Diluk looked at Jiang Ming with a smile.

"First, he let Ying receive the Crystal of Tears, and then he sent the Sky Harp. This is really a bit clever."

"Haha, maybe I am also an important person like Ying."

Jiang Ming said jokingly, as if he didn't hear the hidden meaning.

"alright."

Wendy stepped out to smooth things over.

"Although the wind element of the Sky Harp has not been depleted further thanks to the Fluorescent Purification Crystal, it is still some distance away from being satisfied again. If I can get some more Tears of Tevarin..."

At this moment, the tightly closed door of Angel's Gift was suddenly opened, and a man in a black robe, whose face was completely invisible, walked in.

"Hehe, everyone, are you here?"

A cold and somewhat hoarse voice came.

Before everyone could react, Diluk stepped forward and raised his hand to subdue him.

"hehe."

The man in black robe sneered twice and formed a lightning barrier in front of him. Diluk had no choice but to retreat.

"Don't be so impatient. It won't be too late to take action after listening to me, right?"

"who are you?"

Qin asked first.

"You can just call me Black Robe. As for the purpose of my coming here..."

The man in black robe waved his hand, and then three turbid tear crystals appeared in his hand.

"This is... a tear crystal?! There are three of them!"

Everyone looked at the tear crystal in the black-robed man's hand with surprise.

"Haha, this is a small gift from me, please accept it."

The man in black handed all three tear crystals to Ying.

"Why are you helping us?"

Although Qin saw that she had three tear crystals at once, which would save a lot of time, she still asked the man in black robe with a vigilant look on her face.

"Hey, there are not so many whys."

The man in black robe lowered his head and sighed, his tone somewhat helpless.

"I just want to help you and get Mond out of this crisis as soon as possible. After all, I don't want the Wind Dragon to invade and hurt people I don't want to be hurt."

"That's enough small talk. If you want to summon the Wind Dragon, there is a mountain a little ways east from Starfall Lake, south of the beach. If you climb along the mountain, you will reach a place called Zhaixing Cliff. There is sea breeze and wind from high above, so it's a good place to summon the Wind Dragon."

"Well, everyone, goodbye."

Then the man in black turned around and left the angel's gift, and no one stopped him.

"..."

The pub was so quiet that you could hear other people's breathing.

"Cough cough."

Jiang Ming coughed twice to attract everyone's attention to himself.

"All in all, it's a good thing, right?"

"Ah."

Qin nodded in agreement.

"If he really just wants to help us solve the Mondstadt crisis, then the Knights of Favonius do owe him a favor."

"What did someone just say?"

"..."

"Feel sorry."

"Hey, it's okay. Just buy me a few bottles of grape juice later."

Jiang Ming waved his hand without minding.

"Don't worry, you can drink as much as you want after this incident is resolved."

"Then, without further ado, Ying, please purify these filthy tear crystals and repair the Sky Harp."

"give it to me."

Ying nodded, and then dropped the purified tear crystals onto the Sky Harp.

"Success!"

“It feels completely different from before.”

"The wind element is overflowing to the point of being lively, all thanks to you, Ying, and um... and the man in black robe who helped in secret."

"Then let's go to the Star-Picking Cliff to summon the Wind Demon Dragon. Please be prepared, take it seriously, and don't be late."

"Yes, Master Commander!"

Jiang Ming and Paimeng responded seriously.

"Oh... Sorry, I accidentally..."

Qin showed a slightly embarrassed expression on her face.

.................................................. ..

Star Picking Cliff.

"It seems that everyone is here now."

“This place has such beautiful scenery.”

Paimon couldn't help but admire.

"Meeting with Destiny, this theme is very suitable, right?"

Wendy stroked the piano in her hand and came to the edge of the cliff.

"Then it is time to prepare. The best bard in the world is about to pluck his harp."

As Wendy finished her song, the Wind Dragon suddenly descended over everyone's heads, and the strong wind made it difficult for them to open their eyes.

"It's you......"

The Wind Demon Dragon's deep voice sounded.

"At this point, there is nothing to talk about."

"Really? Did I see it wrong? Your eyes seem to be recalling this song."

Wendy said as she approached the Wind Dragon.

"Humph......"

"They can actually communicate..."

Qin lowered her head and spoke softly.

At this time, an ice cone attacked from behind the Wind Dragon and knocked the Sky Harp in Wendy's hand to the ground.

"Ah! Wendy!"

Everyone quickly stood in front of Wendy and protected him behind them.

"Don't be fooled by him, poor dragon."

An Ice Abyss Mage came to Tevarin's ear and whispered, "He abandoned you a long time ago. Hahahaha, look, now he is trying to deceive you again!"

"Barbatos..."

"Hate it, be angry, you have already become Mond's enemy, there is no turning back!!"

Hearing this, Tevarin looked down at everyone angrily.

"Are these people here with you to hunt me?!"

The angry dragon roar mixed with the strong wind questioned Wendy.

"not like this!"

Wendy vehemently denied it.

"It's time for this dragon to serve his true master. You guys should just stay here and lament your powerlessness!"

After saying this, the Abyss Mage rode the Wind Dragon and left the Star-Picking Cliff.

"Tevalin..."

Wendy looked disappointedly in the direction where Tevarin left.

"Master Wendy, please protect yourself."

"Haha, you didn't just guess the identity now, did you, Qin?"

Wendy calmed down and looked at Qin with a smile.

"Thank you for continuing to call me by that name, though."

Jiang Ming picked up the Sky Harp on the ground and returned it to Wendy.

"How is the Sky Harp? Can it still be played? ... Or can it be repaired with Dragon Tears?"

"Hmm... If it gets this bad, there might be nothing we can do."

Wendy thought for a moment before answering.

"Oh my, this is really..."

When no one noticed, the man in black robe came in front of them again.

"I have collected these three tear crystals with great effort, but now all my efforts have been wasted."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Black Robe, we..."

"No need to apologize, Jean."

The man in black interrupted Qin's apology.

"Since it has already happened, we must work hard to change it."

"you mean......"

The man in black robe looked in the direction where the Wind Dragon left.

"The direction the Wind Demon Dragon left should be the Wind Dragon Ruins. If you want to see Tevarin again, you can only go there."

"I see. Then..."

"Wait a moment, please, Jean."

The black robe interrupted her again.

"what happened?"

Qin's brows furrowed slightly.

"If you trust me, please close your eyes. Don't worry, I won't do anything to hurt you."

The man in black robe said this with a solemn oath.

"this......"

"Oh, okay, okay."

At this time, Wendy stood up.

"You've already done both of us a favor, we're willing to trust you, right, guys?"

"...All right."

"Humph."

"Don't worry, it only takes a moment."

......

"Everyone, you can open your eyes now."

The black-robed man’s voice was heard again, and everyone opened their eyes one by one. However, the scene before them shocked them greatly—they actually came directly to the Wind Dragon Ruins.

"This is... the Wind Dragon Ruins!"

Wendy could see it at a glance.

"It's incredible. It only took a moment to get from the Star-Picking Cliff to the Wind Dragon Ruins."

"Haha, everyone, keep moving forward."

The man in black robe walked in front and led the way for them.

On the way, they also encountered many Hillilks and Hillil thugs, but they were all turned into ashes under the powerful lightning element of the black robe. Soon, they came to a storm barrier.

"Mr. Black Robe, this barrier is not easy to break."

Wendy reminded him from behind, but the man in black robe just shook his head and said, "No problem."

Then he extended his right hand.

"Master the Five Thunders and Thunderbolts!"

boom! !

The overbearing thunder roared out, instantly breaking the seemingly solid barrier, and everyone was shocked again.

"Okay, I can only take you here. The rest of the journey depends on you."

After saying that, he left again.

"...Fortunately, we are not his enemies."

Qin said with some luck.

“He’s a scary guy indeed.”

Diluk also had a serious look on his face.
