"If I hadn't just heard their conversation, I would have almost believed you."

Diluk almost laughed, then looked at Ying.

"The popular newcomer... So it's you, the traveler who fought off the wind dragon in Mondstadt."

"As a traveler, he is willing to lend a helping hand to Mondstadt in distress. It is a pity that such a person joins the Knights of Favonius."

Then Diluk started talking, and kept listing all the faults of the Knights of Favonius.

"He was timid and inefficient in dealing with the Wind Dragon. He was also weak and conservative in diplomacy towards the Fatui. But he was very proactive in finding a cat to repair the roof."

Gao Muming was leaning against a pillar with a playful smile on his face.

"It seems that Master Diluc of the Dawn Winery really dislikes the Knights of Favonius. However, I don't think Diluc would deliberately conceal information and protect wanted criminals just to make things difficult for the Knights of Favonius."

"I heard from a friend on the street that not long ago, Master Diluk bought up a large number of sealed small bottles that were said to contain a trace of the breath of the God of Wind. It seems that Master Diluk is quite interested in things related to the God of Wind."

"Combining what these two guys said, they ran to you to hide after failing to steal the Sky Harp. Master Diluk, could it be that you instructed them to steal the Sky Harp?"

"This is a really big deal. Should we tell the Knights of Favonius about this?"

Diluk frowned when he heard Gao Muming's provocative words.

"What nonsense. And are you sure that the Knights of Favonius will believe the words of a famous drunk treasure thief like you, or me?"

Then Diluk looked at Venti.

"Let's talk about why you stole the Sky Harp."

After hearing Diluk's words, Venti asked.

"Do you really want to know? This could get you into big trouble."

As soon as Wendy finished speaking, Gao Muming quickly expressed his attitude.

"I don't want to know, and I don't want to get into trouble."

After hearing Gao Muming's words, several people once again focused their attention on Gao Muming.

"There are already enough troubles in Mondstadt right now. In order to avoid more troubles, I don't mind sending you, who may become trouble, to Mondstadt's prison in advance."

Noticing that Diluk's eyes were looking more and more unfriendly, Gao Muming quickly raised his hands.

"Okay, I get it, my opinion doesn't matter, poet, please continue."

"Just let me play a song."

Wendy plucked the strings of the guitar in her hand and asked another question.

"By the way, there should be some reward money for this performance, right?"

“You get paid based on the story you tell.”

"That's good, the show begins."

Then Wendy began to sing narrative poetry.

After Venti finished her song, Diluk thought for a moment and looked at Venti with a complicated expression.

"You actually performed such a confidential matter in public?"

Hearing Diluk's words, Venti just smiled.

"When we sang at the Wind God statue, everyone just treated it as a story. The reason why we need the Sky Harp is to play it to awaken Tevarin's nature, but this is not mentioned in the story."

Then Ying, Paimon, Diluk and Venti started chatting there as if no one was around.

Gao Muming, who was standing by, felt numb all over.

"Damn it! They actually told me this secret right in front of me. They didn't even know how to avoid me? Before, I still had a chance to leave, but now I'm afraid I can't leave until the matter of the Wind Demon Dragon is resolved."

As Gao Muming thought about it, he looked at Diluk who was looking at him with twinkling eyes, and then a flash of inspiration came to his mind.

"Wait, Ying, if you want Tevarin to regain his sanity, the current situation is probably quite urgent."

Hearing Gao Muming suddenly speak, several people looked at Gao Muming with some curiosity.

"You guys decided to steal the Skyharp on the spur of the moment, right? The reason why it was intercepted by someone so coincidentally was probably because of the narrative poem sung by Wendy, which allowed the Fatui to discover the clues."

Takagi Akira rested his chin on his hand as he continued to explain.

"Ying just mentioned that the Fatui coveted the power of the wind god held by Tevarin and proposed to take over the city defense and kill Tevarin. However, they failed because of the tough attitude of Jean, the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius."

Ying nodded aside.

"That's true, so I think they stole the Sky Harp for the power of the wind god on the Sky Harp."

Gao Muming shook his head and continued speaking.

"But I think the Fatui have simply changed their mindset. Their target is still Tevarin. After all, a thousand years have passed, and the power of the wind god on the Skyharp has probably almost dissipated."

"I think the story that Wendy told about playing the sky lyre to call Tevarin was an inspiration to the Fatui."

"Since we can't take over the city defense and kill Tevarin openly, then we can find a superficially acceptable reason, such as the Fatui marching in the wild being attacked by a wind dragon, and being forced to fight back and eventually kill the wind dragon."

"In this case, Mondstadt not only has to swallow its anger, but also has to thank the Fatui for getting rid of a disaster."

Paimon, who was floating nearby, exclaimed at this moment.

"Are you saying that they will gather a large number of people to ambush, then use the Sky Lyre to summon Tevarin, and then hunt Tevarin down?"

"How can this be possible? Think of a solution quickly."

Diluk on the side also frowned, and then spoke.

"It won't happen in a short time. After all, the experts among the Fatui who can guarantee the success of killing Tevarin are probably busy right now. I need some time to find some help... Let's meet here after closing time tonight."

Diluk said as he looked towards Gao Muming.

"I'm curious why you didn't keep quiet."

Gao Muming responded with a smile.

"Hey, we have a little problem with the Fatui, so I'm happy to help. Also, my men were injured before, but thanks to the care of Mondstadt, nothing happened. I'll consider it a reward by doing you a small favor."

Diluk was silent for a moment, then continued speaking.

"Bard, you should not leave. As a member of the treasure-stealing group, I still don't trust you. You'd better not leave the tavern."

Hearing Diluk's words, Gao Muming quickly shook his head.

"That won't do. I have to talk to my subordinates. If I disappear inexplicably, they will make a fuss.
