Upon hearing this, Wendy's face immediately showed a look of confusion.
That innocent and adorable little face was still pretending to be stupid, while Xing was clearly getting impatient because she "couldn't act according to the script".
In the past two days, she has almost found all the treasure chests in Mondstadt, wiped out countless wild Hilichurls, and accepted countless quests from the Adventurers' Guild!
All of this stems from this lazy bum in front of me who refuses to advance the main storyline! She's practically going crazy with frustration!
Meanwhile, Catherine of the Adventurers' Guild is also going crazy.
"Does this guy not even have a stamina bar?! Why doesn't he feel tired at all?!"
The other Mondstadt adventurers were going crazy too...
Oh, they're not crazy, they're just enjoying their leisure time.
After all, Mondstadt has just been attacked by a wind dragon, and there are already a lot of things to do in the city. They are more than happy to have someone help them clear up the backlog of requests!
If Wendy knew what Star was thinking, she would definitely give Star a good scolding!
Guess why the plot doesn't match up! Isn't it all your fault, you living father?
Dvalin was nearly wiped out by the blow! To be precise, the entire dragon was almost wiped out! After finally waking him up, he suffered from amnesia!
If only the wind could bear witness to the passage of time...
He almost couldn't resist giving the position of Wind God to Dvalin.
At this moment, his idea of retirement has surpassed that of the old man next door.
But the one on Sky Island wouldn't allow it...
Seeing Xing's eager expression, Wendy simply went along with her father's idea and took the initiative to start the "main storyline"...
"Um... Oh! You mean how to resolve the Wind Dragon incident? I do have a solution, but... it might be a bit risky..."
"Wow...this person's transition was so abrupt..."
Paimon, who appeared out of nowhere, made a sarcastic remark about Wendy's rather poor acting.
"Huh? Where did Paimon go? I didn't see you."
Looking at Paimon who had suddenly appeared, Wendy asked with renewed curiosity.
"Huh? A street performer! What do you mean! I was right next to Xing the whole time!"
Upon hearing this, Paimon immediately put his hands on his hips and looked at the guy in front of him with a dissatisfied expression.
Damn it, this guy is so mean!
"Ah... Hey!"
"What does 'hey' mean?"
"Sorry, sorry, I really didn't see it!"
Wendy promptly slid to his knees and admitted his mistake, saying that for some reason, he hadn't noticed Paimon's figure when he was talking to Xing...
How strange...
"Perhaps the camera didn't capture Paimon when the conversation started. Please continue. What is your plan?"
Xing interrupted the two... uh... interrupted their conversation, her golden eyes scrutinizing Wendy who was slacking off.
"Uh... what are you talking about? What camera?"
Upon hearing this, Paimon, who had just been arguing with Wendy about ignoring her, turned around in confusion and looked at Xing.
"Shh! He's got his violin; a cutscene is about to start!"
"Wait... what are you talking about?!"
Chapter 43 Reject Stereotypes, Unless the Person is Exactly the "Standard"
I am Kiana, and I retract my initial opinion.
Originally, I thought we shouldn't use stereotypes to view people in the new world, since they have no connection with their "identical counterparts" in their original world and are completely new and independent individuals.
but now……
The "Bronya" before them was leading a group of Silvermane Iron Guards, surrounding them completely, and...
"I am the commander of the Silvermane Iron Guard, ordered by High Guardian Cocolia Rand to capture the infiltrators who intend to instigate a rebellion!"
Bronya, in her "medium" size, stared indifferently at the train crew. Clearly, the "important matter" that a certain Great Guardian had discussed yesterday actually referred to sending them to prison today!
Wow... what an unexpected reversal! From yesterday's distinguished "guest" to these two oversized hats.
What a fine "rebellion"! What a fine "infiltration"...
Kiana stared expressionlessly at Bronya before her. Cocolia's change of expression was both unexpected and perfectly reasonable.
And Bronya...
Well, they're somewhat similar in principle.
The stone in her heart finally hit her foot!
Stereotypes are generally undesirable, but when a face becomes even more offensive, it's okay to follow your own instincts a little...
"Um... I don't know why, but I think I've gotten somewhat used to it..."
Looking at the menacing Silvermane Iron Guards, March 7 shook his head with a hint of helplessness, his pinkish-blue eyes filled with a sense of familiarity.
"Without a doubt, this was a planned betrayal. The Great Guardian doesn't seem to want the truth. Yesterday's rest was just a delaying tactic."
Dan Heng calmly looked at the Iron Guards who had surrounded them and analyzed the situation with great composure.
"If you put down your resistance now and confess, it's not too late."
Bronya frowned slightly as she looked at the three who seemed "confident" and showed no signs of nervousness despite being surrounded by a group of guards.
Is it possible that we never intended to resist at all?
Upon hearing this, Kiana suddenly smiled and then whispered to that familiar face.
"In that case, come with us!"
Staring at Kiana's smile, Bronya felt a little strange, but... she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"I'm sorry, you may have misunderstood something."
Shaking her head, Kiana looked at the naive Bronya before her and could basically conclude...
She had absolutely no means to stop them.
“We just don’t intend to resist, but that doesn’t mean we’ll obediently go with you.”
Amidst March's bewildered gaze, Dan Heng slowly stepped forward, reaching out to pull March closer to Kiana, while he himself stood before Kiana, facing Bronya, the leader of the Silvermane Iron Guard.
"Oh? You don't intend to resist, and you don't intend to leave with us. You mean you want to sneak away right in front of me?"
As Bronya realized the meaning behind Dan Heng's words, her expression gradually turned cold, and the Silvermane Iron Guards, upon hearing this, all pointed their weapons at the three of them.
"No, that's not what we meant."
Dan Heng shook his head, his expression remaining unchanged.
"So that means you're not planning to run away?"
Bronya frowned, seemingly not quite understanding what the three guys in front of her wanted to do, but since things had come to this point, it was best to control these three rebels as soon as possible.
"No, what we mean is..."
Kiana smiled and wagged her finger, and then...
"It wasn't done secretly!"
The next moment! A teleportation array activated beneath the feet of the three, and their figures instantly vanished from the sight of the Iron Guards, leaving only the cold floor tiles of Belloborg in the center...
"They've disappeared! These three people have disappeared!?"
Pera, who had been standing silently to the side for half the day, stared wide-eyed at the open space in disbelief. Her big, round eyes were as surprised as her round little face!
"..."
Bronya remained silent, but quietly gave the order: the Iron Guards were to be on high alert, and anyone who encountered those three should be reported immediately!
……
"Hello, I am an honorary knight of the Knights of Favonius. I have been sent by Grand Master Harp to retrieve the [Sky Harp]. Please cooperate with my work!"
Inside the West Wind Cathedral, Xing, with a serious expression that seemed "as if it were real," spoke to the nun in white habit before her.
She is currently on the "main quest". Once she obtains the Sky Harp quest item, she can continue to advance the main quest!
"Hello, Knight of Honor, thank you for your contributions to Mondstadt, but obtaining the Sky Harp requires specific proof. May I ask..."
The nun spoke very respectfully to Xing, but rules are rules, and without specific proof, she could not open the door for Xing.
"Of course! Here you go."
Upon hearing this, Xing seemed to have expected it, and took out a document from her "backpack" and handed it to the nun in front of her.
Upon seeing this, the nun did not hesitate at all and immediately began to verify the information on the document, her face showing a look of great surprise.
"I apologize. I just had a moment of doubt about Mondstadt's savior. Lord Barbatos, Knight of Honor, please forgive my rudeness!"
The nun returned the document to Xing and apologized very sincerely.
"It's alright, everyone was doing this for Mondstadt. You've worked hard these past few days too. During the Stormterror's rampage, if it weren't for you protecting Mondstadt's wealth, the losses would have been even more severe! You are also a hero of Mondstadt! You are Barbatos's most loyal follower!"
Xing grasped the nun's hands, his golden eyes filled with sincerity, and his administrative-level words instantly brought tears to the nun's eyes!
"Honorary Knight!"
"..."
"..."
Behind Xing, Paimon and Wendy exchanged glances, both seeing the overflowing confusion in each other's eyes.
Is she... the same person as that "troublemaker"?
Is this pioneer, so distinctly Liyue-style, the same pioneer from before?
Someone else must have used your account!
"Let's go, let's go get the Sky Harp."
