Wendy finished her story, and the sound of the harp slowly stopped.

The crowd's heads trembled, and after a moment of silence, some people began to whisper.

"Hey, did you hear what the bard just said? The singer's sky harp and the sky dragon..."

"I heard it, what's wrong?"

"The Sky Lyre is Lord Barbatos's sacred artifact, and it's still enshrined in the church. Oh, and that evil dragon, do you think it could be Durin, the dragon that attacked Mondstadt?"

The man's companion was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"It's possible. After all, the dragon Durin who attacked Mondstadt was defeated by Lord Barbatos and the Dragon of the East Wind. This story is widely circulated in Mondstadt. Why are you talking about this?"

"That person just said that the Sky Dragon is now angry and corrupted. You said, if that evil dragon is really the Dark Dragon Durin, and the singer is Lord Barbatos, then the one who attacked Mondstadt is..."

The man's companion suddenly reacted.

"Hiss~ Are you trying to kill yourself? Saying such disrespectful words under the statue of the God of Wind."

Realizing his gaffe, the man hurriedly bowed deeply to the statue of the wind god.

"Lord Wind God, please forgive my unintentional words. I have no other disrespectful intentions..."

After bowing, he continued.

After the salute.

"Alas, if that's the case, that would be terrible."

"Yeah yeah……"

Their whispers were particularly loud in the silent crowd. There were also some thoughtful people present who, after listening to their conversation, had already come up with the answer.

The crowd began to talk.

"If it really is that sir, then things are really too bad."

"Yes, yes, that sir was originally the Guardian of Mondstadt, but how did he become like this now..."

"If it really is that sir, what should we do? Should we not resist?"

"Yes, the dragon plague in Mondstadt has been going on for several months. Is it going to continue like this for a long time?"

A crying sound was heard, it was a woman.

"Wow, wow, wow... Several people in my family have been seriously injured by the dragon disaster, and we are the only orphans and widows left at home..." If it really is that adult..."

At this time, a middle-aged man with considerable authority stood up.

"Everyone! We should trust that lord, and we should also trust Lord Barbatos! No matter what the situation is, I believe Lord Barbatos will definitely make a reasonable arrangement for Mond! Lord Barbatos once protected Mond during the dragon attack, and I believe he will protect us again during this dragon disaster!"

Everyone felt a little relieved after hearing this, but at this moment, a sarcastic voice was heard.

"Come on, everyone knows that the East Wind Dragon is Lord Barbatos's comrade-in-arms and closest friend. In my opinion, even if the one who attacked Mond was really the East Wind Dragon, Lord Barbatos wouldn't do anything to it given their friendship."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man who had just defended Barbatos became angry and immediately retorted.

"How dare you slander Lord Barbatos like this! Everyone in Mondstadt knows that Lord Barbatos, the Wind God, has always been protecting Mondstadt. How could he ignore the people because of his own personal feelings?"

The man sneered.

"Since you're so sure, let me ask you this. If your best friend made a mistake and you had the ability to help him, and you wouldn't be punished or blamed, what would you do? Would you help him? Or would you enforce the law impartially?"

"Of course I will..."

"Don't rush to defend yourself. Everyone can lie. If you truly believe this, then please swear an oath before the great wind god, Lord Barbatos, to prove your sincerity and that you will not break your promise! All of us present here are your witnesses. Do you dare?"

The middle-aged man looked at the man's determined look and couldn't help but blush with anger.

"You! You! You are so unreasonable!"

After saying that, the middle-aged man angrily threw his sleeves and left.

The middle-aged man's angry departure made everyone present feel uneasy.

Yes, if the problem just now fell on me and I would not suffer any disadvantages, could I really be fair and selfless?

Then the crowd began to fight each other again.

Ying listened to everyone's comments and concluded that they could be roughly divided into three groups.

One group said that Lord Barbatos would not leave Mondstadt alone, and that Lord would not do such a thing.

One group said that Lord Barbatos would definitely favor the Dragon of the East Wind, and in the end the Dragon of the East Wind would not be punished.

The last group of people took a neutral attitude. They believed that the truth of the matter had not yet fully surfaced and any speculation was nothing but castles in the air.

"Lord Barbatos will definitely enforce the law impartially. You don't need to worry about these things!"

"Let's put it this way, Lord Barbatos won't do anything to the Dragon of the East Wind! That's totally unfair to those who have been affected by the disaster!"

"Nonsense! Lord Barbatos has protected Mond for thousands of years, how could he do that? You're slandering me. You're such a foolish bunch, you're so stupid that you even doubt the god who protects you!"

……

Ying's brows furrowed more and more as she listened to these people's words.

I couldn't help but look at Wendy who was standing there. But the other person had a calm face, quietly watching the farce in front of him. Seeing Ying's gaze, he shook his head gently, signaling Ying to be quiet.

Seeing this, Ying became more and more confused.

She didn't understand why Wendy wanted to make this public.

Even if it's not explicitly stated, some people can't help but guess the correct answer.

Once there is some clue, human nature will inevitably lead to uncontrollable rumors, which is not conducive to the implementation of the reform plan for Tevarin.

The crowd's debate intensified.

In the end, the farce was finally put to an end by the intervention of the Knights, and Wendy, who was the cause of the incident, was taken away by the Knights for questioning.

After a conversation, Wendy said that the story was from a book and handed the book to the Knights, and was finally released.

The gate of the Knights.

"Wendy!"

Seeing Wendy coming out, Ying and Paimon hurried to greet her.

Ying couldn't help but feel sorry for Wendy when she saw her lonely look.

"That story..."

"It's true," Wendy replied with a smile, shaking off her previous dejection. Then, realizing they were still at the gate of the Knights, she added.

"I actually read it in a book, but that book has been handed over to the Knights."

Ying didn't say anything when she saw this.

Wendy saw that Ying was a little depressed.

He immediately smiled and suggested, "Come with me to a place."

"Hmm? A place?"

Wendy nodded.

“Yes, a place where people can feel at ease.”
