Chapter 95 Newcomers in the Band
Knights of Favonius, Leader's Office.

The few people who returned from the cathedral frowned and thought about the brief oracle.

Lisa gently placed a cup of coffee in front of Qin, looked at her beautiful eyes that were raised with confusion, and said, "Take a break, Qin. Excessive fatigue is not good for your body, and your brain will become dull."

"Thank you."

Qin took the coffee, took a sip and put it down again, saying, "But now is not the time to rest. The dragon disaster and the oracle from Lord Barbatos, I am afraid I can't rest until these things are resolved."

She stroked the smooth wall of the cup, glanced at the swaying liquid in the cup, and looked up at the other three people in the office: "Kaia, Amber, Eula, what do you think [The Darkness After the Storm] means?"

"Hmm, is it referring to the Wind Dragon?" Amber scratched his hair and guessed, "The storm was created by the Wind Dragon, so the darkness after the storm should also refer to it, right? Lord Wind God is reminding us that if we want to stop the storm, we have to start with the Wind Dragon?"

"How is that possible, Amber, use your brain and think about it carefully."

Eula shook her head in amusement and sighed, "Although I don't know what the [Pitch Black] that Master Wind God is talking about is, it must be something more troublesome than the Wind Demon Dragon."

Amber puffed her cheeks and said nothing more. Obviously, she also thought that Eula was more accurate.

"I agree with Eula." Kaeya nodded and pinched his chin: "If there is anything else on the continent of Teyvat that can be called [darkness], it should be the Abyss Cult, right?"

"You mean, the Abyss Cult is behind the dragon disaster?"

Qin was thoughtful. "It does seem like something that inhuman monsters can do. Kaiya, please pay more attention and collect as much information as possible about the Abyss Cult."

"clear."

Kaeya agreed, and then suddenly thought of something, his eyes flickered slightly: "Speaking of the Abyss Cult, Master Diluc met members of the Abyss Cult when he was dealing with the disturbance of the earth veins at Eagle Beach not long ago."

"Hmm? Are there any specific details?" Qin asked.

"No... But it doesn't matter. Master Diluk has been receiving the Angel's Gift recently. I'll just go and ask him." Kaeya looked relaxed. As for whether he was worried that his brother would throw him out with a cold face, only he knew.

"Thanks a lot."

Qin nodded, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled. She swept her eyes over the people present and said in a serious tone, "Everyone, the storm has arrived. For Mondstadt's safety, we must go all out!"

"Amber, always keep an eye on the movements of monsters outside the city. If you find a monster camp that is too close to the city, you must clear it out in time. We can't let it affect the normal travel of citizens anymore."

"understand!"

"Kaia, investigate the movements of the Abyss Cult and report any findings promptly."

"understand!"

"Eula, during the dragon disaster, many thieves, bandits, and other restless people will surely sneak into Mondstadt and its surroundings and keep an eye on them. If necessary, let them know that the wind in Mondstadt is not just gentle."

"understand!"

The three knights each received their orders and left the office.

"call……"

Qin exhaled and suddenly felt a headache. Just as she was about to raise her hand to press her temples, she felt a pair of gentle hands covering them and pressing lightly.

The appropriate strength, the soft fingertips, and the numbing feeling that she wasn't sure if it was an illusion, made Qin's frown relax a lot.

"Thanks, Lisa, I'm feeling much better."

Jean raised her hand and gently patted Lisa's palm.

"Qin, don't worry too much. Lord Wind God has already given an oracle, saying that He will take action this time too. Nothing will happen." Lisa withdrew her hand, her voice soft and charming.

"You know, Lisa." Jyn pursed her lips and said, "Mondstadt is different from Liyue and Inazuma. The God of Rock appears once a year to guide the development of Liyue; the God of Thunder is even higher up in the castle tower, almost personally managing the country. But Lord Barbatos..."

She paused and stated the truth: "He never shows up easily, but every time he does, it is a moment when Mondstadt undergoes great changes."

Thousands of years ago, Lord Barbatos led the people of Mond to overthrow the lonely tower king Diakarabian and establish the free city of Mond; a thousand years ago, Lord Barbatos woke up from his slumber and helped the great hero Vanessa to overthrow the old nobles, end the brutal rule of the nobles, and rebuild Mondstadt.

And now, Lord Barbatos has reappeared, what will Mond face?
"It just happened to be this time, it just happened to be now... The expeditionary team took away nearly four-fifths of the Knights' strength." Qin pursed her lips and said, "And the Fatui. The leader of the Fatui this time is the Fatui executive officer No. 8, codenamed [Madam]."

"I know her, a very pretty lady, but it's a pity that she doesn't seem to know how to spell "gentle" and "euphemistic." Lisa shook her head and sighed, "After the dragon disaster, many things happened... Alas, even Mondstadt's leylines are like a ball of wool that has been scratched by a cat, extremely messy." "... Lisa, what did you just say?"

Qin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a flash of inspiration emerge in her heart, but she couldn't grasp it.

"Hmm? The ley lines are like a ball of yarn that has been scratched by a cat?"

"No, not this one, but the one before it! You mean after the dragon disaster?"

"...what's wrong?"

"After the dragon disaster broke out, after the dragon disaster broke out..."

Jean repeated it twice, then looked up at Lisa: "Do you remember what Lord Barbatos' oracle said?"

Lisa was stunned for a moment, then repeated, "A dragon disaster is coming. Be careful of the darkness after the storm... Huh?"

The dragon disaster is coming? But hasn’t the dragon disaster already broken out?

"You've also discovered it." Jean looked at her and said in a deep voice, "Lord Barbatos said that 'dragon disaster is coming', so what Mond is facing now is not a dragon disaster at all!"

"But the Wind Dragon is indeed..." Lisa blinked and frowned slightly: "Is there more than one dragon?"

"Lisa, please go and help me collect reports on all the incidents involving the Wind Dragon."

Qin suddenly thought of something and looked out the window. Although Mondstadt was a little tense at the moment, it was far from a critical situation. "I suddenly felt that perhaps we all misunderstood something."

……

"Eula, Kaia, goodbye!"

"Well, goodbye, be careful on your journey."

"If you encounter troubles that you can't solve, come to me at Angel's Gift."

Eula and Kaia watched Amber leave, then nodded to each other, and without saying anything more, they separated and walked towards their respective destinations.

At this moment, a loud suona sound rang out, seeming to penetrate the sky and shock every listener.

"...Is it possible that there are already bards in Mondstadt who can play this instrument?"

Youla rubbed her ears and looked in the direction of the sound. She was stunned: "Chen Tianfeng?"

Kaia also looked over, his eyes equally surprised.

Has Chen Tianfeng returned to Mondstadt?

And who is the little blonde girl next to him and the little white guy that can fly?
He doesn't look like a native of Mondstadt... Has the Wind Song Orchestra expanded?
……

"Wendy, why is the plan you mentioned like this?"

Paimon was holding a maraca, shaking it hard occasionally, with a look of despair on his face.

On her left, Ying was sitting on a stool, wearing a pair of exquisite amethyst sunglasses on her nose. She was playing the erhu with great interest and seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Chen Tianfeng played the suona with an expressionless face.

"Pay attention, little Paimon. This is the first time our Wind Poetry Band will perform together."

Wendy played the harp, glanced at Paimeng, and then looked at Chen Tianfeng: "Xiao Tianfeng, be happy. Also, pay attention to the coordination. Suona is too much of a cheat... Do you really not know how to play other instruments?"

"I can also play the drums. Want to buy a set and then play a piece for you?"

Chen Tianfeng stopped playing the suona and answered with a straight face.

"Do you want to learn to play the erhu?" Ying looked up at him with a smile: "Teacher Ying will teach you."
