Genshin Impact: Responsible for Strengthening the Army

Chapter 22: Little Hands Are Not So Honest

"I want to drink..."

Although she was thinking about what to drink today, Wendy's little hands were not very honest. She reached behind the counter and touched a bottle of dandelion wine.

"Put down the wine you took from the back of the cabinet."

Who in my family understands this! I took in a few low-level criminals today, but not only did they not thank me, they also stole my wine. I am speechless!

"I want something a little colder."

Wendy smiled awkwardly and put down the wine in his hand, but his action attracted the attention of Master Diluk, and Yun Qing successfully took away three bottles of wine.

"Okay, you should answer my questions properly."

Diluk had a gloomy and emotionless face, giving people the feeling that he was not someone who could be easily messed with.

"Let me finish my drink first. I'll pay it back with my performance."

"So who is this?"

The little yellow-haired girl was speechless now. The two guys she brought with her started stealing things as soon as they came downstairs. They almost made her lose face.

"I guess this is Master Diluc, the big boss behind the tavern."

"Let me make it clear first, I admire your courage to steal the Sky Harp. Even if you are a fool, you are a fool rarely seen in a thousand years. But, what is the so-called mask?"

Diluk looked at these rare fools in front of him. He did not expect these fools to give him an answer.

Yun listened to Diluk's words and looked at Venti meaningfully.

"We didn't steal it! The real culprit is someone else—"

"She is the Knights' most popular tool. How could she steal the Knights' holy relics? Can it be called stealing for scholars? It's borrowing!"

Yun Qing felt that if she didn't speak up, Diluk would define her as a suspected criminal.

"The popular tool? So it's you. Why, are you acquainted with this bard and that strange man?"

“Not that familiar, actually.”

The little yellow-haired boy is now eager to distance himself from these two conspicuous people.

"Hmm... As a traveler, he is willing to lend a helping hand to Mondstadt in distress. It's a pity for such a person to join the Knights' Order."

Hearing Diluk's words, Yun Qing straightened his back and said to Ying righteously: "Did you hear what I said? It's really a waste of talent for someone like you to join the Knights. It's better to join--"

"It's not your turn to answer questions yet." Diluk interrupted Yun Qing's sales pitch and continued to explain: "The Knights of Favonius have always been timid and inefficient when it comes to the issue of the Wind Dragon. They are also weak and conservative when it comes to the Fatui."

"So, tell me, what happened in West Wind Church just now?"

Diluk finally asked about the main business. Paimon, who had been wanting to tell a story, could no longer hold back and began to talk incessantly.

"…We just arrived at the room of the Sky Harp when a Fatui suddenly appeared, took away the Sky Harp, and left a mask."

Diluk understood in his heart, was it really the Fatui who wanted revenge? But he continued to ask: "So, it was your shouting that attracted the guards?"

Holding Diluk's hand and looking at each other, Paimon was speechless.

"He is indeed a rare fool."

When it comes to having fun, Yun Qing never hesitates to use his sarcasm.

"I'm so mad! I'm going to give you an ugly nickname. Since you're so dark, I'll just call you Little Blackie!"

I originally thought that Paimon would give him a nickname later, but I didn't expect that I would get this name earlier than the singer, but...

"What little black fan? I'm a true fan!"

"It seems that Master Diluc doesn't like the Knights very much."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Wendy quickly spoke up to change the subject.

“It’s just that the road is blocked.”

The tragic murder of the dragon Ursa many years ago left a deep memory in Diluk's heart. From then on, he had no expectations for the pedantic and conservative Knights of Favonius.

He wants to protect Mondstadt in his own way and is the legendary hero of the dark night.

However, now that the identity of the Dark Night Hero has been involved, I have no choice but to take it seriously.

"Then answer my question, why did you steal the Sky Harp?"

"Do you really want to know? You'll get into trouble with the Knights, ok?"

"Heh, I am the trouble of the Knights."

Diluk was so angry that he wanted to curse the Fatui's ancestors. After all, if you said you wanted to steal, just go ahead and steal. Why did you have to involve me? Now he has no way out.

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

"The reward ranges from 5 Mora to the Sky Lyre, depending on your story."

As Fehling's piano sounded, the whole room seemed to be filled with the relaxing element of wind.

"This is an important secret, why do you let me know this?"

"Why? Well, maybe the wind is changing direction."

Yun Qing is extremely disgusted with this kind of riddle man behavior, even nine out of ten. Only I can be a riddle man!

So Yun Qing translated: "Actually, he just wants you to be a tool."

"Interesting. Give me some time, I can try to make some connections..."

"…But Bard, and you, what's your name?"

"My name is Yun Qing. I'm a businessman from Liyue and a friend of Wendy's."

Wow, you finally remembered me, right? I’ve been in the pub for such a long time and haven’t had the chance to introduce myself.

"Okay, Yun Qing and the Bard, you'd better not leave the tavern."

Diluk nodded slightly. Seeing that Yun Qing had a Liyue face, he did not have too many doubts. He just felt that this person looked familiar. It should be an illusion because of the recent hard work for the winery.

"Well, we'll meet here tonight after the pub closes."

Wendy likes the tavern very much, but it would be too torture for Yun Qing to stay in the tavern for a whole day.

Yun Qing naturally has his own countermeasures for this.

As early as a day ago, "Yun Qing" in Liyue Harbor.

"Ajax, I'm going to Mond in the next two days. An incredible person has appeared over there."

"Who can make you come here in person?"

Tartaglia has been confused recently. He clearly reported Yun Qing's actions to the Queen, but was told that Yun Qing had completed the Queen's mission. This is really strange.

"Well... a little yellow-haired boy and a UFO."

"By the way, buddy, have you seen my seal lately?"

"I can't come."

After saying goodbye to [Young Master], "Yun Qing" left Liyue Harbor in a swagger.

After leaving Liyue Harbor, Yun Qing felt someone staring at him, but he ignored it. He went straight along the main road of Liyue, heading north until he passed through the stone gate, where the gaze disappeared.

Ye Lan watched "Yun Qing" pass through the stone gate and enter Mondstadt, and finally felt relieved.
