Paimon: "We're about to enter the church, so we can't speak ill of Venti."
Dainsleif: "Heh, I never intended to enter the church anyway. Dealing with the sisters is up to you."
Barbara huffed, turning her small head away. "You'd better not come into the church, or I'll really scold you!"
Well, it's probably better if he doesn't come in, otherwise I wouldn't know how to scold anyone...
"It's a good thing you won't enter the church, otherwise I... otherwise... Hmph!" Barbara huffed and fell silent.
Rosaria looked at Barbara with her seemingly half-asleep eyes, thinking, 'With your ATK, if he really came in, he'd make you cry.'
But with me here, that shouldn't happen.
Your ATK is rather weak, and I happen to make up for that.
My work enthusiasm is rather weak, and you happen to make up for that.
So... you do my work, I'm leaving first.
Thinking this, Rosaria quietly began to sneak out, missing her drinking buddies.
Dainsleif: "I must also remind you, you'd best not mention the "defiled statue" to anyone in the church."
"The Favonius Church won't ignore the matter of the statue, but if they rashly intervene, it might alert the enemy."
"Moreover... no matter who it is, touching on karma related to the Abyss usually doesn't end well."
The readers thought, 'Oh no, it's all Qiu Cheng's fault. Have we all incurred karma? Was the recent bad luck I experienced because of this?'
This was purely overthinking; most people were just reading a story and were far from incurring karma.
As the saying goes, 'boldness comes with skill,' and ordinary people are just timid. They read a story for conversation, but they have no intention of provoking the Abyss's misfortune.
In the story, when the Traveler entered the church, Barbara's first reaction was, 'No way am I lending you the skyward harp again!'
In reality, Barbara's face flushed with embarrassment. This was a future that no Prophet had spoiled, and the Barbara in the story didn't know that the skyward harp had been taken by Venti.
If she had known, let alone borrowing it, Barbara would have personally delivered it to him. How honored she would be to hear Venti play the skyward harp!
Anyway, the current Barbara goes to listen to Venti sing whenever she has time; she's already a die-hard fan, definitely number one on the charts.
Venti naturally used all this money to buy wine, which in a way contributed the most needed thing to their beloved Venti.
Barbara's fan club had no objections to this; after all, my idol's idol is also my idol.
In the story, the Traveler inquired about the world's first tractor.
However, Barbara had never heard of any "Land Plows," so the Traveler could only rephrase the question, asking if there were any lost statues.
Barbara: "Are you here to ask about that 'old story'?"
It turned out that a Statues of The Seven had indeed mysteriously disappeared in the past.
At the same time, Barbara also revealed another piece of information: "the Tyrant's Grudge."
It was said that during a period in old Mondstadt, whenever someone approached a certain place, fireballs would rain down from the sky.
At the time, people believed it was the Curse of the God of Tornadoes, but upon closer thought, how could the God of Tornadoes launch fireballs?
After Barbara finished talking with the Traveler, Rosaria happened to arrive, bringing a piece of intelligence.
Wolvendom seemed to have been invaded by monsters, and Acting Grand Master Jean had already led people there.
Seeing Rosaria appear in the story, Barbara suddenly remembered, 'Where is Sister Rosaria!?'
Rosaria, who was already at the tavern, never expected that she would be exposed by this book just after slacking off!
In the book, the Traveler told Dainsleif this news, and the two went to Wolvendom together.
After defeating the Abyss Order in Wolvendom, Dain, however, did not want to meet King Wolf.
Paimon: "Eh? Why? Are you afraid of fluffy creatures?"
Traveler: "Aren't fluffy things cute?"
Dainsleif replied: "It has nothing to do with 'wolves.' It's because it, as a God of the past, now serves the current Seven Gods."
"I cannot approve of its actions, nor do I want to deal with it."
He genuinely disliked the Seven Gods and didn't want to interact with anything associated with them.
Guizhong and Heuria exchanged glances. Were they considered Gods of the past who now served the Seven Gods?
Dain also reminded the Traveler not to trust the Gods too much, but also not to embark on a path of overthrowing or hunting Gods.
Dainsleif: "A lesson from the past."
"'Khaenri'ah was a nation destroyed by the Gods, and this is... why the Abyss Order wants to destroy the nations of the Seven Gods.'"
Some people believed it, but they would later learn that Khaenri'ah's destruction was actually their own doing.
They complained that the ley line energy was insufficient and wanted to introduce energy from the Abyss; even the conservative Pierro couldn't stop them.
Back to the book, the Traveler and Paimon went to find King Wolf, and then they met Razor.
Razor was currently confronting an Abyss Herald.
The Abyss Herald seemed to have used some strange ritual to control Boreas (King Wolf).
The Traveler gave the Abyss Herald a good beating, making the Abyss Herald flee.
After resolving the crisis, the Traveler inquired about the world's first tractor.
Boreas didn't understand what a tractor was, but he had indeed encountered a memorable machine, and he told the Traveler about it.
Boreas: "It spins, jumps very high, and shoots fireballs. Its power is not comparable to a God, but it's stronger than many people who possess a Vision."
Paimon: "Fireballs...? Huh, haven't I heard that word somewhere recently."
Even Paimon could figure it out, and the readers naturally thought of it too. Could this be the "Tyrant's Grudge" that Barbara mentioned?
After the inquiry, the Traveler planned to leave first, and Razor reminded the Traveler to protect himself.
In reality, in Wolvendom, several people sat around a bonfire, with fish and meat roasting over the fire.
"Razor, this story has you in it!" Klee smiled happily, handing the book to Razor.
"I, don't understand." Razor shook his head.
"Hmm..." Klee wanted to explain it to Razor, but although she was literate, she couldn't quite understand it herself.
"Let Princess inform you of a corner of the web of destiny." Fischl opened her left hand to block her eyes, but the gaps between her fingers didn't fully cover her eyes.
"Princess Fischl's explanation will only make things more confusing, won't it? Let me do it." Mona sighed helplessly.
"Hmm, I permit it! Megistus, you shall reveal the apocalypse of the future to everyone."
Mona rubbed her forehead, really not wanting to be called that, but she still explained the content of the story, and even Fischl, who hadn't quite understood it, learned a lot.
Bennett listened silently. He was very happy and enjoyed this kind of adventure with his companions.
The 'storyteller' Mona finished this part of the story, which then moved to the part where the Traveler conversed with Dain after solving the King Wolf problem.
She didn't have Tian Tiezui's level, so she couldn't tell the story in real-time, so everyone had to continue reading.

Also, I will never be deceived by him again!"
