Chapter 439 Do You Know Each Other?
The whistling sound of the wind gradually stopped. Two days had passed since the Wind Dragon wreaked havoc in Mondstadt. The temple guarded by the Four Winds had also been completely freed from hidden dangers by Kong and his team.
At this moment, the warm sun rose from the horizon. Ye Li sat on the second floor of the Angel's Gift Tavern, looking at the sunny sky outside the window. He looked lazy and drank the juice in his hand.
Opposite him, a certain Wave Knight was concentrating on the letter in his hand and was already immersed in it.
Time passed slowly, the sun rose slowly in the sky, and Eula Lawrence finally came back to her senses from the words in the envelope. She cleared her throat and said:
"Mr. Ye Li, thank you for helping to bring Yan Fei's letter. This Wave Knight will remember this favor. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can ask me to come and help. I will never refuse."
Seeing Ula Lawrence's serious promise, Ye Li was quite surprised, but he did not refuse. After all, it was just a favor, so it didn't matter whether the other party returned it or not.
After glancing at the sky outside the window, Ye Li confirmed the time, chatted with the Wave Knight in front of him for a few words, then said goodbye to Eula Lawrence and walked downstairs to the Angel's Gift Tavern.
Today he had made an appointment with Paimon to go to the cathedral to look for clues about the God of Wind. Although he knew that Jiumengzi must be drinking somewhere, it was hard to confirm where exactly.
It took Ye Li 30 minutes to reach the square of West Wind Cathedral.
There is no way. In order to fit his current personality, his speed is subject to certain restrictions. Moreover, Mond is in a period of reconstruction now, and running too fast will attract unnecessary attention and trouble.
Look, a nun from the church has started to keep an eye on him. She has been following him since he took his two little ones out of town to fish yesterday.
However, Ye did not feel any malice towards the other party. Instead, he felt more of a scrutinizing gaze.
Ye Li didn't care about these things. He was just being watched. As long as they were not enemies, he could do whatever they wanted.
Of course, there are some exceptions.
Looking at the square which was even bigger than in the game, Ye Li looked up at the statue a hundred meters away on the central avenue and couldn't help but sigh again at the gap between the game and reality.
Looking at some church residences around the square, Ye Li came to his senses and walked to the central square to wait. All he needed was to see a golden exclamation mark appear above his head, prompting the traveler to take on the demon mission.
However, before Ye Li could take out a bench to sit on, a familiar figure wearing a green hat and with a smile on his face appeared in front of him from the stairs of the church.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Ye Li? I didn't expect you to come to Mondstadt. Could it be that you missed me so much that you came here? I didn't expect you thought so highly of me..."
"Stop, stop, stop. I came here just to check on the situation of the branch hall. You should know the character of the hall master. It's just a coincidence that I came here and encountered a dragon disaster."
"Oh, why is that? I thought you came here just to see me."
"Rather than coming to see you, a guy who schemes against me all day, I might as well go to the Cat's Tail Tavern and play the Seven Summonings."
Facing Ye Li's daily quarrels with him, a certain bard didn't care at all, and just smiled and said:
"Brother Ye Li, I just happen to have a favor to ask of you. I'm a little short of money right now, so I'd like to borrow some Mora Jianghu to help me out."
"No, the royalties from our collaboration with Xingqiu are enough for you to drink cider for more than a decade. How could you possibly be short of Mora?"
Ye Li immediately became alert and took two steps back seeing Wendy's pitiful appearance.
"I went to every tavern in Mondstadt and bought a lot of the most expensive wine. I spent all of it in less than a month."
When Ye Li heard this, he could imagine the scene of Wendy using all kinds of famous brand liquor to get him drunk. He suddenly felt depressed and no longer had any hope in this guy's financial management ability.
Seeing Ye Li taking out a bag of Mora from his pocket, Wendy accepted the gift with a smile on her face and said cheerfully:
"Don't worry, Brother Ye Li. I will definitely return the money to you when I go to perform on the streets in the next few days. You shouldn't doubt my ability."
"Alright, alright, I really admire you. If you don't have anything to do, don't bother me. I'm still waiting for someone."
Faced with Ye Li’s disgusted look as if he was about to drive him away, Wendy refused to leave and instead took out his musical props from a distance.
When Ye Li saw this situation, he immediately understood that the person he was waiting for should be here soon.
As Wendy told the story of the Dragon of the East Wind, many Mondstadt people and nuns who were wandering around the Cathedral of West Wind came over to listen to the story, especially the nuns who seemed to be fascinated by it.
Ye Li also listened carefully. No matter how much he complained about Wendy's usual quarrels with him, the other party's level as a bard was still there, he just didn't give it his full strength, otherwise he would have been a household name long ago.
Looking at the familiar blond and white hair in the crowd, Ye Li just sat silently on the bench looking at the clear sky, waiting for someone to finish telling the story of the East Wind Dragon.
As time passed, the sun slowly moved upwards, the long and short story and song came to an end, and the sound of the strings slowly stopped with the final playing and singing.
At this moment, countless people in the square came back to their senses from the illusion of the story, and began to applaud, offering the ultimate cheers and respect to the bard in the center of the statue. Some people also threw Mora, which fell into the iron bowl that Ye Li had placed while everyone was immersed in the story.
Looking at the iron bowl full of Mora, Wendy looked at Ye Li who took all the Mora on the spot without blushing at all, then looked at the small bag of Mora on her chest and suddenly felt like she had suffered a great loss.
After all, he had said in person that he would pay back the money, but he didn't expect that his singing and playing would perform exceptionally well this time, allowing someone to take advantage of the situation and get more money for free than Mora's money in his hands.
Damn it, he miscalculated.
Ye Li poured Mora into the bag skillfully, looking very happy. The crowd dispersed after seeing the performance was over. At the same time, they were all recalling the details of the story and all associated with the image of the Wind Dragon.
Kong and Paimon, who arrived as agreed, also discovered Ye Li next to Wendy and looked at each other in surprise.
Paimeng flew to Ye Li's side and said in a very low voice:
"Ye Li, why are you holding Mora back? And it looks like he won't do anything to you. Could it be that you two know each other?"
"Oh, Paimon, Sora, I saw you two a long time ago. As for why I took his money, he just borrowed money from me. I put a bowl there while he was performing, just as if it was his repayment of the money he borrowed."
"Alas, can you still borrow and repay money like this?"
Paimon looked shocked as if he was seeing this situation for the first time, while Kong's mouth twitched, feeling helpless about Wendy's behavior of shooting herself in the foot.
However, he had not forgotten the purpose of his visit. When Ye Li was communicating with Paimon, he had already stood beside Wendy and took out the red teardrop with a clear purpose.
After more than ten minutes of communication, Ye Li looked at Wendy with suspicion, and almost said that you are hiding it so well.
Facing Ye Li's gaze, Wendy generously admitted that he knew the Wind Dragon. He also explained the content of the story he told, and used the wind element to let Kong try to purify the tears, thus leading to what happened next.
