They've had enough of the dragon's danger; hopefully, this time they'll be able to get rid of it completely.
Seeing the excitement on everyone's faces, Kaiya sighed slightly and said, "I'm sorry, but what I'm about to tell you is actually the exact opposite of what you're all talking about. Please allow me to formally introduce the dragon you've all been talking about."
Its name may be familiar to some people, but now it is known as the Demon Dragon.
This being who recently appeared and caused disaster is none other than the Dragon of the East—Dvalin, who once protected Mondstadt!
The people, caught up in the excitement, froze. They wondered if they had misheard. The demonic dragon that had caused the disaster was none other than the former East Wind Dragon! How could this be?!
"Mr. Kaiya, are you telling the truth?"
"But why would the once-guardian dragon attack us?!"
"Have we been abandoned by the Wind God?"
As more and more people began to speculate, fear gradually replaced their expressions. After all, being abandoned by the Wind God was a catastrophe.
Seeing the situation spiraling into chaos, Kaeya said sternly, "Please calm down."
Perhaps it was the recent slaying of a veteran knight that established his authority, for the onlookers actually quieted down.
They looked at Kaiya, their eyes filled with confusion and anxiety.
If they are truly abandoned by the Wind God, what will become of them?
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Kaiya began to speak: "This story actually begins five hundred years ago."
He brought out what Su Han had told him, the contents of the Church of the West Wind, and the records of the Knights of the West Wind. When people learned the whole story, many began to sob.
"I see. Mr. Dvalin has really had a tough time. He was injured for Mondstadt, but in the end, he didn't even get a little bit of care."
"That's why it didn't attack the previous times Mr. Tvalin came; it was seeking help!!!"
“Damn abyss, why did they do this! Mr. Dvalin is innocent.”
As more and more people came to their senses, Kaiya finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought it would be difficult to turn the situation around, but now it seemed that it wasn't as difficult as he had imagined.
However, at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly emerged from the crowd.
"So what if he's a hero? Does that mean it's acceptable for someone to be killed by a demonic dragon?!"
The sudden sound plunged the scene into dead silence.
Kaeya looked at the other party and couldn't help but sneer inwardly. As expected, the Fatui guys had appeared. Although this person was well hidden, Kaeya had already obtained a list during his overnight investigation.
The other party turned out to be one of the people who had been misled by the Fool.
Seeing that Kaeya remained silent, the man stepped out of the crowd and questioned, "Speak, Lord Kaeya! Should those killed by the dragon be forgotten, or did they deserve to die?"
The hurtful words caused great distress to those whose families had suffered the loss. Even though the identity of the dragon had been confirmed, did those who were killed deserve to die?
Upon hearing this, Kaeya shook his head and said, "I never said that the East Wind Dragon Dvalin could kill people at will, but the other party was corrupted by the Abyss Blood, and there is even the power of the Abyss influencing it in the dark."
If a close friend, in trying to save you, lost their temper and accidentally killed someone, would you execute them yourself? Or would you be willing to help them regain their senses and atone for their sins?
Putting ourselves in their shoes, even if the East Wind Dragon Dvalin is guilty, we should wait until it regains its senses before taking any action, rather than simply killing it outright.
Kaeya gave people time to think and continued, "There's another point. If it weren't for Dvalin's help, the dragon Durin would have destroyed the entire city-state. You didn't mention that, did you? Or is it that all you see is hatred?"
Now let me ask you another question. If you were seriously ill and wanted your friends to visit you, but you were unable to move and your friends had abandoned the only way they could contact you, how would you feel? Would you be sad and upset?
If you feel sad, please remember that Mr. Dwarin's temple has been covered in dust for who knows how many years, and has suffered the pain of poisonous blood for five hundred years. Has anyone ever cared about it?
Now it can't take it anymore and has gone mad, but you want to kill it. Is that really the right thing to do, both morally and logically?
When did Mondstadt become such a cold-blooded nation?!
These words were deafening; everyone present, except for the spies, was captivated by Kaiya's words.
He told the story from a friend's perspective, and then put himself in Dvalin's shoes. This immersive experience was so great that some of the people who already felt sorry for Dvalin started to cry.
Imagine you're Dvalin, helping Mondstadt and getting injured, only to be forgotten or even scorned instead of getting attention. That would be truly tragic.
Seeing that the mood was right, Kaeya seized the opportunity to say, "Dvalin, our eternal friend of Mondstadt, should not be forgotten."

Chapter 56 The Witch Lisa's Personal Ambitions
When only the sound of weeping remained in the entire square, Kaiya knew that the situation was under control. He thought to himself, "It seems that the second wave of the plan has succeeded. Now it's just a matter of dealing with the trivial matters."
The matter was quickly reported to the regimental commander's office. After hearing the result, Qin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Phew, everything is difficult at the beginning. We have finally taken the first step. We still need to continue to work hard in the future."
"I initially thought this disaster was a bad thing, but if we can take this opportunity to rectify the current state of Mondstadt, it seems to be a good thing as well."
Sitting next to her, Lisa heard that things were going well and gave her assessment, but she couldn't say it outside. After all, there was still a traitor among the knights, and it would be bad if rumors spread about it.
Jean nodded upon hearing this, but remembering that Klee had not yet returned, she sighed, "The Knights' problems are on track, although there are still many issues, but we still haven't heard from Klee, and I'm worried she's lost."
"Yes, who would have thought that Klee would be so obsessed with comics?"
Lisa chuckled. Sometimes neglecting discipline can lead to all sorts of problems, no wonder Qin has a headache.
Just as the two were chatting, a carrier pigeon suddenly landed on the window.
Lisa walked over, took the letter, and discovered that it was from the Liyue Harbor government.
She opened it with a puzzled look, then smiled and said to Jean, who had a worried expression, "Now you don't have to worry anymore. This is a letter from the manga shop owner in Liyue. He claims that he has found Klee and we will see her in a few days at most. However, the shop owner has made a request that he hopes you can agree to."
"any request?"
Hearing that Klee had arrived safely in Liyue, Jean's mood immediately improved; at least going out to have fun was better than something going wrong.
Lisa glanced down and chuckled, "I think you'd better see for yourself."
"why?"
Qin took the letter with a puzzled look. The contents were very simple. Su Han believed that Ke Li was too young to be properly disciplined by the Qin family's hellish approach. This would not only affect Ke Li's growth but also cause psychological trauma.
At the same time, Su Han suggested that after returning this time, they should not blame Ke Li, but instead use conversation to educate her.
After reading the above, Qin couldn't help but feel down. She looked at Lisa and asked, "Is there really something wrong with my parenting methods?"
The witch, who always supported all of Qin's work, gently shook her head this time. Lisa showed a regretful expression and said, "I'm sorry, Qin, you have worked really hard, but your teaching methods are indeed flawed."
Lisa knew that Qin didn't quite understand these things, so she said gently, "Have you ever thought about it? Actually, Claire is a very well-behaved and obedient child. It's just that no one communicates with her on an equal footing. When Claire was with Abedo and me, she never made a mistake."
As that gentleman said, intimidation-based education will not make Claire truly realize her mistakes. Instead, it will gradually make her think that the worst thing she can do is go back to solitary confinement.
I don't think you'd want to see Klee become like that, right?
Upon hearing this, Qin fell silent. It seemed that she had always treated Keli this way: if she did something wrong, she would go back to the solitary confinement room until she reflected on her actions before being released.
But if you think about it carefully, Claire is still just a child. Many times she doesn't know whether what she's doing is right or wrong. If she can't understand cause and effect, simply locking her up isn't a good thing.
After a long while, Qin came to her senses and said with a wry smile, "It seems I still have a lot to learn."
“Of course.” Lisa nodded and smiled. “Actually, there’s an easier way to do this. Since that gentleman has a good impression of Claire, why not ask him for advice?”
Qin's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Will it really work?"
"Why not? Mr. Su's letter is full of concern for Ke Li. I think Mr. Su would definitely be willing to help if he knew about it."
With Lisa's encouragement, Qin looked down at the letter in her hand again and found that things were indeed as the other party said. Su Han really cared about Xiao Keli, so she could rest easy.
Because of the difficulty in communicating with children, Qin had no idea who to ask for help. She couldn't even manage her relationship with her own younger sister. If Su Han could help, that would be wonderful.
In fact, Jean had no idea that Lisa also had her own selfish motives. From Kaeya, she learned that although Su Han had been to Mondstadt, he had no feelings for the place and could be described as indifferent.
But what really changed his mind was Amber's crying. Moreover, she also learned that this gentleman was single. Isn't that a coincidence?
If we can get close to the other party through Klee, at least Jean's burden will be lighter.
The following afternoon, Klee followed Gan Yu back to Mondstadt.
Looking at the familiar city, the little girl was slightly worried, afraid that Commander Qin would have a stern face again when they returned. By the time they arrived at Commander Qin's office, the little girl's resistance had reached its peak.
She tugged at Gan Yu's sleeve, her expression tense, and said, "Sister Gan Yu, can I not go in?"
As if on cue, the door opened before Gan Yu could even answer.
Seeing the approaching leader of the guild, Keli turned pale with fright and quickly shrank behind Gan Yu.
Seeing how terrified Klee was of her, Jean felt incredibly guilty. She composed herself and said to Gan Yu, "Hello, I am Jean, the acting commander of Mondstadt. It's really kind of you to bring Klee back."
"No need for such formalities. We were really fortunate to have Klee with us this time, which allowed us to eliminate a powerful enemy."
"enemy?"
"Yes."
Gan Yu quickly recounted what had happened, and of course she didn't hide the matter of the Golden Light Curse. When Qin heard that the Abyss Apostle had attacked Su Han, her expression immediately became tense.
She quickly asked, "Is Mr. Su alright?"
"It's nothing, just a bit exhausted. It's also my fault for being away on business that day, otherwise this wouldn't have happened."
After chatting for a while, Gan Yu got up and left. After all, she had a lot of things to do, and this trip was entirely at Su Han's request.
When only Klee and Jean were left in the room, the little girl was so nervous that she almost cried, and her little hands trembled involuntarily due to excessive fear.
Just as Claire was at a loss, Jean sat down and gently hugged her.
"Huh? Commander Qin?"
Klee looked at the other person in confusion. She had sneaked away, so shouldn't the other person be giving her a stern scolding? Why was the other person hugging her?
Little did she know that Keli's earlier display of fear had already filled Jean with immense self-reproach, and only now did she realize how important effective communication was.
Seeing Klee's puzzled expression, Jean said gently, "I won't put you in solitary confinement anymore, okay, Klee?"
"Really?! Yay... Klee doesn't want to go to that place anymore!"
Upon hearing that Commander Qin would no longer lock her up, Klee cheered with joy. At the same time, she admired Su Han even more, because he had said before she came that she wouldn't be put in solitary confinement.
