Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Inside the still brightly lit church at night, Barbara saw the blond traveler walking straight towards her and the white floating object, and gave him a respectful smile.

"Honorary Knight! Hello, how have you been lately? Is there anything I can do for you today? Ah... but let me make this clear first, you can't borrow the Sky Harp again!"

Seeing the lingering fear on Barbara's face, Paimon felt a little guilty and then asked her what was wrong.

"We're here to ask some questions. Barbara, have you heard of the 'world's first tillage machine'?"

"Hmm? What's that? A 'plowing machine'...what's it used for?"

"Hmm, I didn't know. Let's change the question then, has the church ever lost any seven-day statues?"

"Huh? You're here to ask about that 'old story'? That's surprising, because it happened a long time ago, and nobody talks about it anymore."

Long ago, a seven-star statue suddenly disappeared overnight without leaving a trace.

Even though the Church of the West Wind mobilized all its manpower to search, they ultimately failed to find it.

This event was later recorded in history books and is known as the "Lost Seven Statues" incident.

Upon discovering that a statue was indeed missing, Paimon continued to inquire further.

"Are there any other strange occurrences recorded in church accounts?"

"Other strange events? I'm not sure. Let me think about the strange events the church has recorded... 'The Tyrant's Resentment'? No, that shouldn't be related in terms of time..."

"The lingering resentment of a tyrant?"

"Oh, this strange thing refers to the fact that Old Mondstadt, now known as the 'Wind Dragon Ruins,' became extremely dangerous for a period of time. Many years ago, at some point, anyone who approached the area would be met with fireballs raining down from the sky."

"A fireball falling from the sky?! How terrifying."

"At the time, people believed it was a curse from the 'Tornado Demon God,' so they called it 'The Tyrant's Resentment.' This strange phenomenon lasted for a year and ultimately couldn't be resolved; it eventually subsided on its own."

The so-called tornado demon is actually Dekalapian.

Huiyuan likes to call him the Demon God of Gale because his wind elemental power is very brutal and has no gentleness at all, which is completely different from Barbatos's elemental power.

The Mondstadt people call him the Tornado Demon because he surrounded Old Mondstadt with tornadoes, which more directly demonstrates his divine power.

Later, people speculated that the matter of "the tyrant's grudge" had nothing to do with this deceased demon god.

Because there is no record of this tyrant using fire elemental power.

After finding no useful clues with Barbara, Paimon thanked her and prepared to leave.

At that moment, a pale-faced nun who showed no respect for Barbatos approached.

"Thank you?" I think I heard that troublesome word again...

Upon seeing the newcomers, Barbara greeted them warmly.

"Ah, it's you, Rosalia."

Instead of responding to the greeting, Rosalia looked at Luminous and Paimon, who seemed to be investigating something, and gave them some information.

"If we're looking for the Knights, they don't have time now. 'Those monsters' are back again."

Upon hearing this, Barbara asked, "Those monsters?"

"Those monsters who took advantage of the Wind Dragon Rebellion to try to attack Mondstadt."

Upon learning this information, Paimon suddenly became alert.

"Isn't that the Cult of the Abyss?! Are they making moves again?"

Seeing Paimon's strong reaction, Rosalia immediately realized that the honorary knight was investigating matters concerning the Abyss.

Rosalia doesn't like meddling in other people's business, and besides, this is the Abyss! Why would anyone want to offend them?

Rosalia, who was well aware of the threat posed by the Abyss Order, did not want to be in danger by meddling in other people's business, but she was also uneasy about leaving it unattended.

Without giving it much thought, she pretended to share information with Ying, hoping that Ying would do the hard labor.

"Hmm, they're gathering in [Wolf Territory], the wolf pack is restless. The Abyss Order, perhaps... has its eye on the remnant soul of the 'Northern Wind King Wolf'? As for the reason, I'm not sure yet."

With that, Rosalia put her hands on her hips and lied, "Commander Qin has already gone to Wolf Territory, and I'm about to start my covert operations as well."

The first half of the statement is true, the second half is false.

It was called a clandestine operation, but in reality, it was just a way to keep an eye out for any suspicious individuals while fishing at night.

Then why did she bring up the matter of the troupe leader going to Benlang Territory?

The meaning is clear: Go forth, Knight of Honor, it's time for you to save Mondstadt again!

But how could the innocent Barbara understand the other meaning behind her words?

Seeing that Rosalia was going to support Captain Jean, Barbara, the captain's sister, volunteered.

"Then I want to go too!"

Looking at the innocent Barbara before her, Rosalia had anticipated this statement.

Silly child, silly child, the abyss is not something you can mess with!

"The head of the choir said that you should stay in the church and do your job as a clergyman."

"But...but you're a clergyman too..."

Seeing Barbara's expression that said, "If you don't take me, I'll throw a tantrum," Ying joined Rosalia in trying to persuade her.

"Don't worry, I'll go help too."

Paimon chimed in, "Yes, we'll go help Commander Qin too!"

"Hmm... alright, with the 'Knight of Honor' here... but please be careful nonetheless. May the Wind God protect everyone..."

Having obtained useful information, Paimon and Luminous returned to Dain and Hunyuan and shared the information they had just received.

Dain decided to go to Wolfrun Territory to see what kind of conspiracy the Abyss Order was plotting.

There's no need to worry about the safety of Andrius, the North Wind Wolf, because it's already dead.

There's no need to worry about it being corrupted by the abyss and turning into a wind demon wolf like Dvalin.

Now, what guards the Wolf Territory is merely its remnant soul; it has little remaining power, at most able to overpower others with its profound combat experience.

The Abyss might be targeting it because it is a follower of the Wind God, and it wants to obtain some information through torture or memory reading.

They quickly arrived at Wolfrun Territory and found that there were indeed Abyss Order members and a large group of Hilichurls fighting with wolves in the vicinity.

There are so many monsters that they cannot be counted.

Seeing this, Huiyuan summoned a spherical combat drone that could fire lasers, and together with the others, they quickly resolved the battle.

Looking at these high-tech robots, Paimon couldn't help but marvel.

"Sister Yuanyuan, I've heard from Zhongli that you're good at manufacturing [high-tech] products, but I didn't expect you to be able to produce so many."

"Haha, it's nothing. Do you want one? As long as the money is there, I'll arrange a thousand for you right away."

"Oh—really? How many Mora?"

"Ten million per unit."

"Why don't you just rob the Northern Bank?!"
