“Study, and be studied.”
"Do you know why they want to blow up the temple?"
Qin asked the most crucial question.
And An Qi finally showed some guilt.
"I... I didn't realize they were going to the temple. They said a green bard gave them a treasure map and they were going to look for it."
"The green bard? The Wendy?"
"Well, it's him."
"Kaiya, go check!"
Kaiya was not careless and took the order seriously. After all, this was a case of blasphemy, so even he was on high alert.
Then, Qin looked at Anqi, who had a frightened face, and she felt as if she was seeing another little girl in fiery red.
"You gave them the alchemical bombs they used to blow up the temple?"
"Um……"
"Even if you didn't know their target, you handed such a dangerous weapon to a stranger, and this led to such a result. You know what consequences you have to bear, right?"
"Ugh..."
An Qi shrank her neck.
She looked like she was thinking hard, then slowly placed a bag of Mora on the table.
Qin could no longer hold her breath, but she still tried to hold her face together and said:
“It’s not about the money.”
"Ugh..."
An Qi groaned, then took out a few bags of Mora and placed them on the table one by one.
"puff!"
Finally, Jane and Lisa couldn't hold it anymore.
"Okay, you will stay in the confinement room with Klee for the next few days. I know you are not primarily responsible for this incident, but it is related to you. In a few days, apologize to Lord Fengshen in person and see what punishment Lord Fengshen has for you."
"Yes."
An Qi went out with her head down and sad.
After that, Qin looked at Lisa helplessly.
"You should teach her something other than academics occasionally. It seems that after following you, she has become even more unable to integrate into the normal world. Look, she even apologized to Mora."
"I think it's good. Scholars need to focus, and she is still a child. She doesn't need to understand so many complicated things. As for how to protect her, that is a problem that the Knights need to consider."
"Lisa, you... Oh, forget it. Fortunately, the Lord of the Wind is kind and asked Anqi to apologize. It shouldn't be a big problem. The question now is, is that Wendy the mastermind behind this? What exactly does he want to do?"
Qin's expression became serious.
Half an hour later, the information about the arrest and escape of Qin and Paimon, as well as Wendy's information, were submitted. Qin flipped through the files, and her face became more solemn.
"He appeared suddenly with unknown origins. Not only is there no record of him entering the border, but even the records of him entering and leaving the city gates are blank. It's like... he can appear in any corner of Mondstadt at any time!?"
Qin took a breath of cool air.
After the Abyss Order incident, a character with no origin and who appears and disappears out of nowhere suddenly appears in Mondstadt and drives the destruction of the Temple of the Four Winds. This is terrifying no matter how you think about it.
Could it be the new underworld official of the Abyss Cult?
As the acting leader of the Knights Templar, Jyn knows that the Temple of the Four Winds is not only of great symbolic significance, but also that it contains extremely powerful energies, which have real significance for stabilizing Mondstadt's geography and elemental environment.
Could it be that this is the power that the Abyss Cult is targeting?
Qin frowned deeply and asked:
"When did he disappear?"
"It was probably not long after the letter from Thor arrived."
"That is to say, the time of the crime is roughly the same as that of the suspect who vandalized the temple. Is he on the run?"
"It may be that he has achieved a certain goal and is trying to get out of this situation. Do you want to arrest him, Captain Qin?"
Kaiya touched his chin and asked solemnly.
Qin Lian thought of a lot of things, and Kaiya naturally thought more about his own life experience and homeland.
In short, anything related to the abyss, even if it is just a possibility, is particularly eye-catching to Mond, which has just been attacked, and no one can ignore it.
"Let's arrest them all and catch them first."
"Yes!"
"Rosaria will cooperate with you. Kaiya, I can only ask you for help on this matter. We must come up with a result as soon as possible... The Four Wind Temple was breached without anyone noticing. The Knights have failed in their duties. We'd better give an explanation to the Wind God before he returns from Inazuma."
"Yes, Captain Qin!"
The Knights of Favonius regarded this incident as a possible terrorist attack by the Abyss Order and began to investigate with all their might.

At this time, Wendy had just returned from overseas.
He stood on the coast of Mondstadt, blinking in confusion as he listened to the information carried on the wind.
"Eh?"
Chapter 162: It's what the Second Generation Wind God should do
"How could it be them? This shouldn't happen. Surely it's all Wendy's fault?"
Amber passed by the bulletin board and frowned after reading the three bounty notices.
She knew Xiao and Paimon, and they had even had dinner together at Anqi's house.
In Amber's impression, those two people were a little strange, and it seemed that they would risk everything for Mora. But overall, they were not bad people.
Amber felt that there must be something fishy going on.
Judging from the bounty order, the only one who might have a problem is the bard Venti.
"I think I've seen him perform on the street. He looked harmless. He must be pretending. He's very scheming. We must be on high alert against him."
Amber nodded confidently, feeling that she might have seen the truth.
Then a claw dropped from the sky.
"Huh? Why did I miss a step... Who!?"
Five minutes later, in a remote woodland next to Mondstadt.
Amber was tied up tightly and hung from a tree, with a cloth ball stuffed in her mouth.
"Woo! Woo! Woo!!!"
"Don't panic, we are not bad people...well, at least I am not, so don't be afraid."
Paimon explained without much confidence. At the same time, according to the instructions given by Qi, he took out the fire spear and gently pressed it against Amber's forehead, causing Amber to stop struggling.
In fact, Paimon can't use fire spear.
Practice has proved that if she used the lance to fight monsters, she would only lose her grip due to the recoil, and then be knocked unconscious by the lance. The monster was fine, but she was unconscious for several hours. If it weren't for Yan next to her, it's entirely possible that she would be used as a cup.
However, even though he couldn't shoot, he could still intimidate Amber.
When Amber saw the musket, then looked at Paimon's apologetic eyes, and Huo's cold and guiltless look, tears of grievance and anger immediately welled up in her eyes.
"I was planning to trust you, but I didn't expect you to be so crazy as to kidnap a knight? Let me go, let me go!"
"Traveler, this doesn't seem to be a good thing for us."
Paimon still has a conscience. At least when he is not tempted by money and food, he is a simple and kind little idiot.
So she looked at the traveler with a guilty conscience.
Yan shook his head, holding the strip of cloth that he had just pulled out of Amber's mouth, and said:
"Amber, I just wanted to ask you some questions."
"Do you guys ask questions like this?"
"Sorry, special circumstances call for special treatment. There's an old saying in Liyue that a man who knows the current affairs is a hero... Well, I mean, please answer my questions carefully from now on."
No other meaning.
The main elements are forests, bondage, beautiful girls, etc. Lines like this are really suitable.
Paimon silently put away the flaming spear, covered her face and floated to the side - she didn't want to get involved in this matter. Although this was very disloyal, she always felt that if she talked about loyalty in a place like this, she would throw away something else important.
"Humph! Go ahead and kill me! The Knights of Favonius will never surrender to criminals!"
"Oh, Amber, you don't want Angie to go to jail because of us, do you? In fact, we were framed, and we want to catch the mastermind and prove our innocence, but this requires your cooperation. For Mond and Angie, please think about it carefully."
"Gu...why are you so skilled?"
Amber was hanging on the tree, feeling her chest and other sensitive parts were tightened, so she moved uncomfortably. Then it tightened even more, and the feeling became more subtle.
Whether it's the way he kidnapped people or the words he used to coerce and entice people, there's a sense of practice and proficiency in all of this.
Yan looked away expressionlessly. It was normal for a traveler to have some strange experiences when he was traveling to another world.
Amber didn't have time to pay attention to Yan's reaction. She just said angrily:
"Anyway, put me down first!"
"Okay, then you have to answer my question."
"I will never betray the Order!"
"I'm just asking some basic questions. You don't have to answer them because they are confidential."
Yan said calmly.
Amber gradually calmed down. Although she was kidnapped, she strangely didn't feel any malice from Xiao and Paimon. So, maybe it was just a special case, and they didn't kidnap her on purpose?
"Okay, deal. If you are truly innocent, I will help you catch the real murderer. This is very important to Mond."
"Paimon, let him go."
I will definitely give you a chance to find a way out.
Paimon then flew to a high place and operated on the rope knot.
After a moment, she flew in front of the two of them, put her hands on her hips and said:
"I have killed the knot."
"…Why should I raise you?"
"Traveler, don't say that. We are the best partners! I am very good at throwing bombs. I won't hit you!"
Paimon cried and tried to defend his position.
But Qi had already ignored this little good-for-nothing. After putting Amber down with one sword, he began to ask her for some information.
The first thing is to confirm Angie's situation.
Knowing that An Qi was not arrested but only temporarily detained, Xu heaved a sigh of relief.
"Please tell Captain Qin that this matter has nothing to do with An Qi. She doesn't know what we did in the temple."
"We all know this. Angie will never betray the Knights!"
Then, Yan began to inquire about the Knights' current handling methods and some information about the temple.
"Wanted warrant..."
It doesn't matter. I don't think this is the first time this has happened.
Travelers are, by definition, outsiders. Once something happens in a local area, outsiders with no one to rely on are often the most likely to be suspected and targeted.
