It has to be like this!
"Well, don't worry, I won't go over and cause trouble."
Nodding, Bai Luo withdrew his gaze and spoke.
Kaia, who was following behind the two of them with Eula, once again showed a thoughtful expression.
The look in Pendragon's eyes just now was very interesting.
Could it be called hatred? But it was too peaceful.
Friendly, right? But too intense.
It is in a very vague and complex state, and it is difficult to judge its essence.
Interesting, is there some strange relationship between Pendragon and the Fatui
Touching his chin, Kaiya had already kept this matter in mind and planned to investigate it later.
After taking his eyes off the Goethe Hotel, Bai Luo, under the guidance of Qin, continued to walk towards the West Wind Church.
"Is this the direction of West Wind Church?"
Looking at the road sign next to him, Bai Luo asked.
But Jean just said that she was going to the Knights of Favonius, right
"Well... due to some irresistible reasons, the Knights of Favonius is still under renovation. Although we are already working inside, I don't think a semi-finished Knights' Hall is suitable for receiving guests."
After being seen through, Qin Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself.
Speaking of which, this is also related to when Bai Luo was looking for fun.
At that time, he was mistaken for Barbatos by Tevarin and was accidentally tricked by Jyn.
In order to respond to Jean's "goodwill", he deliberately diverted the blame and took Tevarin with him to demolish the building of the Knights of Favonius.
Since then, the Knights of Favonius have been working in the Cathedral of Favonius, and only recently when they reached the final stage of the work did they move back one after another.
The Knights requisitioned part of the church for office use
Maybe this sounds a little crazy, but in fact, it is a very normal thing in Mondstadt.
The kingdoms ruled by the seven earthly rulers are basically all ruled by gods, and the God of Wind has handed over all power to humans in the name of freedom, and the God of Wind himself has fallen into a deep sleep.
This means... ... In Mondstadt, the power of the Knights of Favonius is above all else.
This seemingly offensive behavior is actually very common in Mondstadt. Even among the nuns in the church, some cannot even remember the name of the god they believe in, Ba... ... What are you looking at
Oh, Baalzebub.
"Then please lead the way."
After smiling slightly to show that he had no objection, Bai Luo continued to walk forward with Qin.
To be honest, this was Bai Luo's first time to properly wander around Mondstadt. Before that, he either flew around the city using wires or climbed walls in the dark.
I basically go out at night.
He knew the roofs and windows of Mond better than he knew the roads.
This time, under Qin's guidance, he was able to truly appreciate the scenery of this city.
The endless staircases do not make people feel bored, but give people a sense of sacredness of pilgrimage. From time to time, you can see hanging creepers on the ancient city walls. Judging from their growth, they must have been specially cultivated by someone.
In addition to the ivy, there are also flags with the icons of the Four Guardians of the Winds on the walls. It seems that the Knights of Favonius have begun to spare no effort to promote this tradition that has almost been forgotten by the citizens of Mondstadt.
When you reach the end of the stairs, the first thing you see is the Gothic church.
Against the backdrop of the rotor windmill, the distinctive spire rises into the sky, majestic and dignified.
The church, located at the highest point in the entire Mondstadt, is sacred and inviolable in the hearts of many devout believers.
But soon, the square in front of the church will attract everyone's attention.
There is a statue there that is carved based on the prototype of the god of wind.
Although the statue in the square existed when the seven rulers first took office, the current statue actually has only about a thousand years of history.
Thousands of years ago, in the era of aristocratic rule, perhaps in order to demonstrate their own power, the Lawrence family deliberately overturned the statue representing the status of the god of wind and re-erected a tall tower there.
The tower is not a good representation of Mondstadt.
It was not until Vanessa successfully overthrew the rule of the nobles with the secret help of the God of Wind that the statue of the God of Wind returned to the square.
In addition to the nuns who come here every day to lead everyone in prayer, there are also bards performing here.
After all, apart from the tavern, this square is the most crowded place in Mondstadt.
Whether you want to earn some money for drinking or simply pray to the God of Wind, this is the best choice.
For example, the bard who sang under the statue while holding a xylophone. Although the xylophone in his hand did not look as delicate as others, his singing voice was the best among all.
The sound of the piano leaping between fingers is also more beautiful than that played by ordinary people.
Even the nun who was originally leading everyone in prayer was secretly listening to him humming the song of the wind.
“Boom—”
Suddenly, the young bard who was immersed in his own singing felt an inexplicable chill, and he accidentally played a wrong note while playing the piano.
Although it was harmless, many people didn't even notice that he played the wrong note and thought it was a new arrangement. But for him, just making him feel a chill was incredible.
Without stopping playing the piano, the bard was slightly distracted and looked towards the commotion at the other end of the square.
What surprised him was that the person who appeared there was not the executive from Zhidong whom he had been paying attention to all this time, but a man who looked... How to put it
A very strange person.
It was clearly the first time he met this person, but he felt that there was a very familiar aura about the other person.
Is it because of the other person’s own temperament
That doesn't make sense. How could this chivalrous aura, which is purer than Qin's, make him feel a chill
"Well, the performance of the greatest bard ends here today. If you are satisfied, you can give me an apple."
"Huh? Sunset fruit? No! This alone will definitely not do!"
Chapter 725 The Star Has Arrived
Qin didn't know that Bai Luo was actually secretly watching Wendy who was hiding under his statue and was doing nothing. She thought he was admiring the statue in the square.
So on the way to the church, she deliberately slowed down her pace to let Bai Luo have a good look.
It was not until he looked away that the team's speed gradually increased.
Before, with the statues as a backdrop, the church did not look particularly tall when viewed from a distance. But when I got closer and looked up at this majestic building, a sense of insignificance arose from the bottom of my heart.
Perhaps because of the advance arrangement, there were no nuns at the church door, but instead there were knights on guard.
The knight helped push the thick door, and the group walked into the church.
Although he is a follower of the Ice God, Bai Luo himself does not have any beliefs.
As an executive, he puts himself more into the concept of "subordinates".
But when he was truly in the magnificent and silent scene of the church, the feeling of being simultaneously impacted by his vision and soul gave him a special sense of awe and solemnity.
Strands of blinding sunlight shone through the window lattice, making the colorful window screen engraved with wind flowers particularly dazzling. At that moment... Bai Luo, who was standing there, seemed to have really seen the arrival of the God of Wind.
It was a completely different feeling from the Winter Palace.
If he had not really seen the God of Wind, there was a high probability that he would have been fooled.
"We are working here now, please follow me."
After Bai Luo recovered from the beautiful scenery of West Wind Church, Qin patiently made a gesture of invitation and walked into the side door first.
Although the Knights of Favonius requisitioned part of the church, they only occupied some unimportant rooms for work, and the work of the church and the Knights did not affect each other.
This time, not all the knights who came along came in.
Although the talks were open to the public, not everyone could participate.
As the Wave Knight, Eula is currently considered one of Mond's fighting forces, and she is actually qualified to participate in this meeting.
However, she didn't seem to like this kind of meeting very much. After helping Qin hold the stage, she left with her guerrilla team.
To put it simply... ... except for the addition of a scout knight and the absence of a winery owner, this meeting was no different from Bai Luo's previous meeting with them.
Hmmm... maybe we should add the little guy who is autistic in the confessional-turned-confinement cell next door.
And several knights dressed like civil servants and wearing glasses on their noses.
"Mr. Pendragon, this is the box you are looking for. Please check if there is anything missing."
After everyone was in place, Qin took out the box that had been prepared long ago and asked Kaia to deliver it to Bai Luo.
In fact, she was still a little nervous at this time.
According to Kelly, there was only one diary in the box, but judging from its size, it seemed a bit of a waste to put a diary in it.
After taking the box, Bai Luo first looked it over.
Judging from its brand new appearance, this box has obviously been carefully taken care of by someone. After all, it has been buried in the ground for so long, even if it was protected by supernatural power, it would not be so clean.
But he didn't open the box directly.
"No need to check. I still believe in your credibility."
The box was just the reason why he came to Mond. As for whether there was only one diary inside, that was none of his business.
As long as she has this diary, Mona's problem can be solved perfectly.
After all, this so-called diary can be called the "Book of Mona's Control". Without it, Bai Luo can still control Mona.
With it, Bai Luo can do whatever he wants to Mona.
Maybe... the "old woman" behind her also saw her fate and sent her here.
"In that case, let's get straight to the point. Regarding the matter of Tianxing... How sure are you?"
When Qin mentioned Tianxing, several people, including Amber, had already taken out their notebooks, and it was obvious that they also took this matter very seriously.
Nowadays, the Knights' top brass basically all know about this matter.
The main reason is that the nature of this matter is different from Bai Luo's. The matter of the Winter Executive can still be concealed, but if a star really descends, such a movement cannot be concealed at all.
It may also cause unnecessary confusion.
"Then I'll ask you a question too."
Bai Luo did not answer Qin directly, but asked back.
"How much do you know about astrology? Do you trust the results of astrology?"
As for astrology, it is not actually a popular subject in Mond.
Thanks to a certain chief alchemist, alchemy is now the most popular mysticism in Mondstadt.
However, this does not hinder their understanding of astrology at all.
"Well, I understand. So do you have any proper way to deal with the arrival of the stars this time? Or do you know the specific location where they will fall?"
This time, Qin did not ask Bai Luo how confident he was, obviously acquiescing in the fact that the star had landed. As the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius, she must have been exposed to much more things than ordinary knights.
She also knew the accuracy of astrology.
"So-called astrology is to predict upcoming events through the movement of the stars and the sky, but this kind of prediction is not necessarily accurate enough to know everything, especially for something that comes from the sky. It is not easy for my friend to predict when it will fall. When it will fall, where it will fall, and what impact it will cause are all unknowns."
Combining his own understanding with the information Mona originally gave him, Bai Luo gave his own answer.
"That is to say, you only know that it will fall, but you don't know how much it will fall, nor how long it will take. This time may be a few days, a few months, or even a few years later?"
The person who said this somewhat targeted remark was none other than Kaeya, who had just delivered the box to Bai Luo and sat back in his seat.
The others are not familiar with Bai Luo, and Qin wants to remain friendly with him, so the role of the "bad guy" is naturally most suitable to be played by Kaeya, who has a certain friendship with the other party, but not too deep.
Perhaps this would reduce the possibility of him trying to get information from the other party later, but it was also something he had to do.
"If that were the case, I wouldn't have chosen to come at this time. What I can be sure of is that the star will set in the next few days. Maybe tonight, it might... Huh?"
Originally, he wanted to reveal to Kaeya and the others that [The Extinguished Star] was something that happened at night, but a tingling feeling on his scalp made Bai Luo utter a slightly puzzled "huh?".
As if sensing something, Bai Luo slowly raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the church.
