Wanjie: Genshin Impact Dark Fruit

Chapter 14: Night Action

After a while of discussion, everyone finally decided to go to the basement of Mondstadt Cathedral in the dead of night to steal the Sky Harp.

…In the bright moonlit sky, several figures in Mondstadt Cathedral were sneaking towards the entrance to the church basement. Ye Qi and Ying looked at the entrance, which was wide enough for one person, and decided to go down first while Wendy and Paimon were responsible for meeting them outside.

Two heads popped out from the basement exit. Looking at the dozen or so patrolling Mond knights ahead, Ying whispered to Ye Qi, "What should we do? I feel like we're going to be discovered."

Ye Qi patted Ying's head and comforted her: "We just need to walk in the dark and I can use my ability to conceal our presence."

Ying nodded when she heard that, turned around and gently tapped Yeqi on the face, and then the two of them started to act.

Ying rolled over and came to the blind spot of a knight's vision. Seeing this, Ye Qi hurried to follow. After some trouble, the two finally arrived at the place where Sky Travel was stored.

Ying was just about to step forward to take the Sky Harp when a woman in a purple robe and holding a lantern in her hand took the lead and snatched the Sky Harp away.

Seeing this, Ye Qi said, "You have already anticipated this step. After all, the Sky Harp was snatched away by the Fatui in the game. He has been prepared and used his ability to absorb the Firefly Warlock to the ground."

After snatching the Sky Harp from her hand, the Firefly Warlock stood up from the ground with difficulty and shook the Lantern Bug in his hand to awaken several Fireflies to attack Ye Qi. Then he rubbed a ball of lightning in his hand and flew towards Ying.

When Ye Qi saw this scene, he released repulsive force from his hands and sent several lightning fireflies flying towards him away. The lightning fireflies were bounced onto the wall and exploded into a ball of lightning elements.

Ying also dodged the flying lightning ball. The lightning ball missed the target and hit the ground, causing an elemental explosion. The noise here alarmed the knight guards outside.

The guard who heard the noise ran in directly and drew his sword, pointing it at the two people. The Firefly Mage disappeared in an instant. The guards of the Knights only saw two people sneaking into the basement and drawing the Sky Harp, so they rushed up without saying a word.

Ye Qi and Ying also quickly stood up and rushed out. Ye Qi directly spread a layer of black mud on the ground, which directly sucked the guards of the Knights to the ground. Ye Qi and Ying had already rushed out of the cathedral and saw Wendy and Paimon waiting outside, so they quickly called them to escape together.

Wendy also said to the other three, "I know a good place to hide, come with me."

Everyone ran all the way to the tavern gifted by the angel. Standing in front of the front desk of the tavern was a handsome young man with long red hair, who was talking to Charles, the bartender.

Charles: "Master Diluc, this is how the accounts look this week."

Diluk: "This storm has had a significant impact on business."

Charles: "I hope this period will pass quickly."

At this time, the crowd who had just returned from Mondstadt Cathedral ran into the tavern. Ye Qi had already put away the Sky Harp. Wendy walked up to the young man and whispered, "Boss, we... need a slightly more secluded place." Hearing this, the young man turned around.

Diluk: "If you want a secluded place, the second floor is less crowded. But you're a bard, right? Why not choose a more crowded place?"

Wendy laughed awkwardly and said, "Haha! As for the performance, let's do it next time! We're going upstairs first, see you later."

Then everyone quickly ran to the second floor and found a position near the door of the first floor to observe secretly.

At this time, Diluk turned to Charles and said to keep an eye on them. Charles was a little confused about who they were.

Diluk: "Mondstadt's security."

Soon the Knights' pursuers arrived. Seeing Diluc in the tavern, they seemed to have some respect for him and did not search for him directly but asked Diluc directly.

Guard: "Ah, Master Diluc, have you seen those thieves?"

Diluk: "What happened? So many people are mobilized."

Guard: "Haven't you heard? The Sky Harp was stolen from the cathedral."

Diluk was a little confused and said, "Huh, that's strange."

Guard: "The Sky Harp is a treasure that was played by the Wind God himself. It is such a cultural heritage."

Diluk's voice rose slightly as he spoke: "Since someone is really stealing something they can't sell, it's more cost-effective to steal some wine from my cellar."

The two guards who had chased after him felt a little embarrassed when they heard this. They looked at each other and remained silent.

Diluk continued, "Just now, a yellow, a green, and a black-haired person ran over there."

The two guards, also trusting Diluc, thanked him and chased after him without a word. Diluc walked straight past them and said to the second floor, "Have you had enough of eavesdropping? Come down and explain everything to me."

Seeing this, everyone stopped hiding and ran downstairs. When they got downstairs, Wendy started to act rashly, looking at the cabinet full of expensive wines and trying to steal a few bottles.

Diluk wasn't surprised to see this; it seemed he knew Wendy, so he calmly reminded her, "Put down that wine you stole from the counter."

Wendy was caught on the spot, but having lived for thousands of years, he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he said shamelessly, "I want to drink something colder."

Diluk stopped arguing with Venti, put on a serious face, and said coldly to the others, "Okay, you should answer my questions."

Wendy clearly has no intention of giving up drinking.

Wendy: "Well, let me finish my drink first. I'll pay for it... with my performance."

Diluk: "It's not about money. You're obviously too old to drink."

Wendy: "Don't worry about that. You were still there when I was drinking."

Ying and the others interrupted, asking who this person was. Wendy looked over and solemnly introduced him, "This is Mondstadt's richest man, Master Diluc, and the owner of this tavern gifted by angels."

By the way, I really like their dandelion wine, although I usually buy it in bulk.

Diluk, no longer wanting to hear Venti's antics, interrupted, "I just heard from the guards that you stole the Sky Lyra. By the way, I admire your courage for actually going there. Even if you're fools, you're rare fools."

Hearing this, the others were too embarrassed to say anything. They had indeed stolen the Sky Harp, but Paimon also interjected, "The Fatui also interfered, but we prevented her from succeeding. During the fight with the Lightning Warlock, we were discovered by the soldiers, and that's why we are wanted."

Diluk's expression darkened when he heard the Fatui, but he regained some composure when he heard the Fatui had failed. He then said to Ye Qi and Ying, "Are you familiar with the poet? You actually followed him to steal the Sky Lyre."
