I picked up this little grass god.

After receiving the urgent commission from Catherine, Ying and the others did not dare to delay and drove to the Thousand Wind Temple as soon as possible.

"What? Stop!"

In front of the Thousand Winds Temple, the Knights of Favonius were stationed here. It was the first time for them to see a vehicle that could run without being pulled by horses. They stopped in front of Ying's SUV in surprise and doubt.

"Huh? It's the Traveler!"

Amber was here too, she saw the people in the car through the windshield and recognized them immediately.

She had met Ying and the others not long ago when they were looking for Xianyun. She already knew that Ying and the others had returned to Mondstadt, so she was not too surprised.

"Is this your mount? I heard Cole mention it in a letter..."

Amber looked at the SUV curiously.

Today, the vehicle has become the most popular means of transportation in Xumi, but due to production issues, it has not yet been sold abroad.

"That's right, Amber. We just received a commission from Catherine, so we rushed over to check the situation."

The vehicle stopped to the side, and after Ying and the others got off, Paimon explained to Amber.

"So that's how it is. Let me tell you about the situation."

Amber nodded, and then took the initiative to explain the situation of the Thousand Winds Temple to them.

She brought the three of them to the entrance of the Thousand Winds Temple, where a warning sign was put up.

"Look, from here you can see the Knights and adventurers who entered the Thousand Winds Temple before."

Amber raised her hand and pointed behind the warning sign.

Ying and the others looked carefully and saw five people standing still like wax figures. Two of them were the Knights of Favonius and three were wearing uniforms of the Adventurer's Guild.

They seemed to be talking and laughing, but no one knew what they were discussing.

"It really stopped completely. It can stand so steadily on one leg."

Paimon raised his hands and placed them above his eyes, looking around.

"Yes, and we have tried to rescue them, but the lasso we threw out remotely just broke, as if it had weathered."

Amber explained the current situation, then raised her hand and pointed to the ground in front of her, where a bird skeleton could be seen.

"We tried to release a pigeon, but it fell to the ground as soon as it flew out. Its body quickly rotted and only bones were left in the blink of an eye. We immediately sealed off the area."

Amber pointed to the bird skeleton and explained.

“Hmm, could it be…?”

After listening to Amber's explanation, Ying, Klevi and the others were a little surprised, while Paimon touched his chin and thought of something.

The next moment, Paimon took out his glasses and mustache and put them on himself.

"People are still, objects are weathered instantly, animals age and die quickly and then turn into bones. This kind of setting often appears in Yaedo's supernatural light novels."

Transformed into the famous detective Paimon, she stroked her mustache and then spoke with a confident look.

"So there is only one truth!"

"The mastermind behind all this must be one of the authors of Yaedou's supernatural light novels!"

"..."

Paimeng's guess instantly left everyone speechless. It's unlikely no matter how you think about it, right?

"Paimon, why do I feel like your process is all right but the result is wrong..."

Klevy said this speechlessly. She often read the same light novel with Paimon and Ying.

"Well, it can't be caused by a time disorder, right? That's just a setting in novels."

Paimon spread his hands innocently.

However, the current situation does fit this setting.

"Time confusion? That makes sense. When people walk in, time stops. Inanimate objects quickly go through a long period of time and are weathered. That's why the lasso can't be thrown in..."

Amber seemed to have read quite a few novels and understood this concept immediately.

But before someone brought it up, it was indeed difficult to actively associate it with something as invisible and intangible as time.

"But if this is the case, then it's terrible. Even the Knights won't be able to rescue them."

Amber looked back at the people in the Thousand Winds Temple and spoke with some distress.

"Indeed, and to them it's just like the legend of Liyue, where they go up the mountain and see immortals playing chess, and then they go down the mountain and find that a hundred years have passed outside."

Paimon also nodded.

The group observed from the outside for a long time, but they really couldn't think of any useful method, and it was impossible for anyone to take the risk and go in.

In the end, there was no other choice. Seeing that it was already completely dark, Ying and the others had to leave the vicinity of Thousand Winds Temple and plan to come back the next day.

Amber is stationed here with several Knights of Favonius. Maybe the Thousand Winds Temple that suddenly mutated will suddenly change back to normal.

"Paimon just threw a lot of things in there. Some of them stopped in midair as soon as they flew in, while others were weathered away immediately. So I guess it's very chaotic in there. It's not just that people are frozen and objects are weathered away quickly."

In the off-road vehicle, the famous detective Paimon continued to explain his guess.

"If that's the case, we shouldn't let anyone take the risk."

Krevy nodded.

"Yeah, but I don't know what to do now..."

Paimon said with a headache.

If it was some other force at work they could still think of a solution, but since time was messed up they had absolutely no idea what the solution was.

"Maybe someone will have a solution."

Ying stroked her chin and recalled for a while before suddenly speaking.

"Krevy, do you still remember what you learned when you obtained the Eye of God?"

Facing the puzzled looks of Paimon and Klevie, Ying suddenly reminded Klevie.

"Eye of God..."

Hearing Ying's reminder, Krevi couldn't help but recall the past.

They would stay in each country for at least half a year, and Mondstadt was the first stop of their trip, so that was almost four years ago...

"In the distant past, the people of the earth worshipped Time and the Thousand Winds as one."

"The interweaving of faiths allows Qianfeng to flow through thousands of generations, and the Mistress of Time also generously shares her authority with Qianfeng..."

Krevy recalled that memory, and she paused at the end and looked at Paimon who was beside her and also suddenly realized something.

"Go find the street singer!" "Go find Brother Wendy!"

The next moment they both spoke at the same time.

"Yes."

Seeing that the two of them had thought of the same thing, Ying immediately stepped on the accelerator.

The reason why they didn't use a teleportation anchor point was because there was no teleportation anchor point close to the Thousand Winds Temple when they came, and they still had to drive for a while after teleporting.

As for going back, there is no rush, so why not go for a drive?

Soon, the three returned to Mondstadt and went straight to the Angel's Gift Tavern.

Wendy is a frequent visitor here, and the easiest places to meet him are here and at the Statue Square.

Sure enough, Wendy was performing in the pub.
