Chapter Summaries

Lisa and Li Qiuzhi returned to Mondstadt, where they helped the Knights of Favonius investigate the dangerous Red Crystal and Lumine was entrusted with keeping it. Jean named Lumine and Li Qiuzhi Honorary Knights and asked them to keep investigating Stormterror’s crisis; afterward, Paimon asked Li Qiuzhi to help them find an inn.

• Lisa used the Favonius Codex to teleport herself and Li Qiuzhi back to Mondstadt, where they met Jean, Lumine, and Paimon at the Knights of Favonius Headquarters.
• Lumine showed Lisa the Red Crystal she had found, and Lisa’s Electro was repelled by the foul power within it; Lumine remained unaffected and agreed to keep it.
• Li Qiuzhi told Jean and Lisa that a green-clad Bard had warned him the Red Crystal could harm ordinary people, then described finding one near Cape Oath with Fischl and others.
• Jean awarded Lumine and Li Qiuzhi the title of Honorary Knight and asked them to continue searching for the cause of Stormterror’s loss of reason; Li Qiuzhi discovered the title boosted Friendship gains and granted shared Experience Points.
• After leaving the headquarters, Paimon realized that she and Lumine had not found lodging and suggested asking Li Qiuzhi to lead them to an inn.

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon tracked down Venti after spotting him in Mondstadt, hoping to learn about his connection to Stormterror and the red crystals. Venti revealed that the crystals were crystallized tears shed by Dvalin, and Lumine discovered that the one she carried had turned clear.

• Li Qiuzhi suggested that Lumine and Paimon sell their materials through the Adventurers' Guild or an Information Broker.
• Lumine spotted Venti in the street, and the group followed the Anemo traces he left behind to the Anemo Archon Statue Plaza.
• Venti greeted the group, and Li Qiuzhi reminded him that he still owed them for the empty treasure chest and their red crystals.
• Lumine questioned Venti about the crystals and their connection to Stormterror, and Venti said they were crystallized tears shed by Dvalin.
• Lumine took out her crystal and noticed that its gloomy red color had vanished, leaving it clear and transparent.

Lumine discovered she could purify Dvalin's tainted tear crystals, and Venti asked her to help borrow something from Mondstadt Cathedral after making preparations. While Lumine followed Venti to ask him questions, Li Qiuzhi sold their monster materials and found them an inn; by noon, he waited for them at Good Hunter.

• Lumine purified a second tear crystal for Venti, who said it would help him resolve Mondstadt's crisis.
• Venti asked Lumine and Paimon to help borrow an essential item from Mondstadt Cathedral, then left for Windrise.
• Lumine asked Li Qiuzhi to sell their monster materials and find an inn while she and Paimon followed Venti.
• Li Qiuzhi sold the materials at the Adventurers' Guild, earning about 110,000 Mora for himself and 200,000 Mora from Lumine's materials, then looked for an inn.
• At noon, Li Qiuzhi waited outside Good Hunter as Lumine and Paimon arrived with Venti.

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, Paimon, and Venti shared a meal before heading to Mondstadt Cathedral to seek the Holy Lyre der Himmel and help restore Dvalin. Venti led them inside to ask the Church of Favonius about borrowing the lyre.

• Li Qiuzhi gave Lumine the Mora from selling her materials and told her about an affordable inn near Valberry Street.
• After lunch, Lumine and the others went to Mondstadt Cathedral, where Paimon questioned whether the Church would lend them the Holy Lyre der Himmel.
• Venti admitted he might borrow the lyre without permission, and Li Qiuzhi teased him about resorting to theft.
• Venti approached a nun inside the cathedral, who recognized him and the heroes who had driven off Stormterror.

Venti, Lumine, Li Qiuzhi, and Paimon failed to persuade Sister Gotlinde to lend them the Holy Lyre der Himmel, and Venti revealed that he was Barbatos. As they considered stealing the lyre, Li Qiuzhi proposed framing the Fatui to weaken their influence in Mondstadt.

• Venti asked Sister Gotlinde to lend them the Holy Lyre der Himmel, but she refused because they lacked the required approvals.
• Venti claimed he was Barbatos, but Sister Gotlinde did not believe him and left; he explained that keeping his identity secret let him live freely.
• Lumine, Li Qiuzhi, and Paimon learned that Venti was the Anemo Archon and agreed to address Mondstadt's crisis before discussing Lumine's questions.
• Venti proposed taking the Holy Lyre der Himmel by stealth, while Lumine and Paimon objected to becoming thieves.
• Li Qiuzhi suggested framing the Fatui for the lyre's theft, which could also give the Knights of Favonius leverage against the Fatui delegation.

Li Qiuzhi planned to steal the Holy Lyre der Himmel to pressure the Fatui, then sneaked into Mondstadt Cathedral and took it. An Electro Cicin Mage ambushed him, and the chapter ended with Li Qiuzhi facing her despite their vast strength gap.

• Li Qiuzhi explained his plan to steal the Holy Lyre der Himmel and frame the Fatui, while Lumine agreed to support him and Paimon understood how it could restrict the Fatui.
• Lumine and Paimon searched for affordable lodging, declined Li Qiuzhi’s offer to stay at his home, and rented a room at an inn for eight thousand Mora a day.
• At six in the afternoon, Li Qiuzhi used his Stealth Assassination Art to enter the cathedral basement, following Venti’s directions toward the lyre.
• Li Qiuzhi rushed to the Holy Lyre der Himmel and took it, but an approaching Electro Cicin Mage kicked him into a wall and broke his invisibility.
• The Electro Cicin Mage demanded the lyre, and Li Qiuzhi drew his Dull Blade and prepared to stall her despite her level 46 strength.

Li Qiuzhi fought an Electro Cicin Mage who tried to steal the Holy Lyre der Himmel in Mondstadt Cathedral, then fled after the Knights of Favonius arrived. He warned Venti about La Signora and joined Venti, Lumine, and Paimon in pursuing the mage across Cider Lake.

• The Electro Cicin Mage attacked Li Qiuzhi, but he fought back with a Pyro-coated Dull Blade, and their clash drew the Knights of Favonius.
• Li Qiuzhi turned invisible as the Electro Cicin Mage escaped the cathedral, then asked Venti to have Lumine intercept her.
• Li Qiuzhi warned Venti that La Signora might be plotting something in Mondstadt and urged them to catch the Electro Cicin Mage for answers.
• Venti told Li Qiuzhi that the mage had fled toward Cider Lake, and Li Qiuzhi ran from the cathedral and glided after her.
• Venti gave Li Qiuzhi a wind boost, helping him catch up with Lumine and Paimon as they pursued the mage toward an island.

Lumine and Li Qiuzhi fought the Electro Cicin Mage in the air, but Venti used a lullaby to put their opponent and Lumine to sleep. Venti guided everyone safely to shore, where they could wake Lumine and question the captured mage.

• Lumine flanked the Electro Cicin Mage while Li Qiuzhi attacked her Wind Glider with a fireball.
• Lumine kicked the Electro Cicin Mage, but the mage grabbed her ankle and threatened to unleash her Electro power if Li Qiuzhi attacked.
• Venti played a tune that calmed the Electro Cicin Mage and put her to sleep, loosening her grip on Lumine.
• Li Qiuzhi caught the sleeping mage, then caught Lumine after Venti's music put her to sleep as well.
• Venti used a breeze to guide Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and the mage safely to shore outside Mondstadt.

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, Paimon, and Venti captured and questioned a Fatui Electro Cicin Mage, then restored some of the Holy Lyre der Himmel’s power with Dvalin’s Sigh. They went to the Knights of Favonius Headquarters to seek Jean’s help finding more tears, arriving to find her troubled by the unresolved Stormterror crisis and the lyre’s theft.

• Li Qiuzhi and Paimon woke Lumine after Venti’s music had accidentally put her to sleep, then tied up the Electro Cicin Mage and took her Delusion.
• Lumine and Venti deduced that the Fatui planned to threaten the Anemo Archon by endangering Stormterror, but the Electro Cicin Mage claimed she did not know the details and Li Qiuzhi knocked her unconscious.
• Venti explained that the Holy Lyre der Himmel needed Dvalin’s Sigh to restore its Anemo, and Lumine used two purified tears to replenish it, though it still was not ready to summon Dvalin.
• Li Qiuzhi suggested asking Acting Grand Master Jean to help find more Dvalin’s Sighs, and the group decided to bring the captured Fatui to her as well.
• Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, Paimon, and Venti reached the Knights of Favonius Headquarters at night and found Jean troubled in her office.

Lumine, Paimon, Venti, and Li Qiuzhi told Acting Grand Master Jean how they recovered the Holy Lyre der Himmel and explained that it needed more purified Anemo materials to help save Stormterror. Unable to assist directly because of her duties and political concerns, Jean sent Li Qiuzhi to Angel's Share with a letter for Diluc.

• Paimon recounted how the group obtained the Holy Lyre der Himmel and captured the Electro Cicin Mage at the cathedral.
• Li Qiuzhi explained that Lumine could purify Stormterror's tears, which replenished some of the lyre's power, but that they needed more concentrated Anemo materials.
• Jean said the Knights of Favonius could not openly help Stormterror because Mondstadt's citizens resented him and the Fatui could exploit the situation.
• Jean wrote a letter asking Diluc to help and sent Li Qiuzhi and the others to Angel's Share.
• Jean entrusted the effort to save Stormterror and resolve Mondstadt's crisis to the group.

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, Paimon, and Venti went to Angel's Share to ask Diluc for help finding Stormterror's red crystals. Diluc agreed to provide the information the following night after the tavern closed.

• Li Qiuzhi and the others saw Jack drinking with Matt outside Angel's Share while adventurers discussed the damage Stormterror had caused and the heroes who drove it off.
• Paimon proudly assumed that the adventurers' story about a little humanoid fairy referred to her, while Venti teased her.
• Lumine told Diluc that they wanted to see the owner, and Venti revealed that Diluc was the owner of Angel's Share.
• Diluc recognized the group as the outlanders who had driven off Stormterror and took particular note of Li Qiuzhi's skill with Favonius Archery.
• Li Qiuzhi gave Diluc Jean's letter and asked him to help find the red crystals Stormterror had left behind.
• Diluc read the letter, agreed to provide the information, and told them to return the next night after the tavern closed.

Li Qiuzhi hosted Lumine and Paimon at his home, and Lumine agreed to stay there while they worked in Mondstadt. That night, Diluc showed them likely locations of Dvalin’s Sigh and urged them to gather help before dawn, while Li Qiuzhi considered confronting Stormterror and the Abyss Order sooner.

• Li Qiuzhi invited Lumine and Paimon to dinner at his home, where Lumine fell asleep on the sofa and he made her comfortable for the night.
• In the morning, Lumine accepted Li Qiuzhi’s offer to stay in a spare room, and they prepared it together.
• Lumine registered with the Adventurers’ Guild and completed a construction commission with Li Qiuzhi for pay.
• That night, Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon returned to the Angel’s Share, where Diluc let Venti’s large unpaid tab remain on his account.
• Diluc showed the group intelligence marking the Temple of the Thousand Winds and Dadaupa Gorge as likely places to find Dvalin’s Sigh, and advised them to bring helpers before dawn.
• Li Qiuzhi recalled that Lumine could purify Dvalin’s poison blood and considered eliminating the Abyss Mages before they could disrupt the plan.

Li Qiuzhi and his companions prepared to search for Dvalin’s Sigh, with Jean assigning Lisa to join them. The search teams set out, and Li Qiuzhi and Lisa reached the Eclipse Clan’s Hilichurl tribe, where Lisa deferred explaining whether his two Delusions could let him use two elements at once.

• Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon told Jean that Diluc had identified likely locations for Dvalin’s Sigh, and Jean agreed to send Lisa with them while Kaeya and Amber stayed behind.
• At Angel’s Share, Venti asked who could sense the crystals, and Li Qiuzhi and Lumine said they could use their special sight to locate them.
• Diluc prompted Venti to reveal that he was Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, and the group decided Venti would search for the remaining crystal.
• Jean paired with Lumine and Paimon, Diluc paired with Venti, and Lisa paired with Li Qiuzhi before they set out to search.
• Li Qiuzhi asked Lisa to modify his Electro Delusion so he could use two elements, but Lisa postponed her explanation when they reached the Eclipse Clan’s Hilichurl tribe.

Li Qiuzhi and Lisa found the Eclipse Clan camp while tracking Stormterror’s traces, and Li drew its inhabitants out with Pyro arrows. A Cryo Abyss Mage led a mass charge, but Lisa struck down a Mitachurl with powerful Electro, leaving the Hilichurls frozen in fear.

• Li Qiuzhi and Lisa reached the Eclipse Clan camp, where Lisa sensed a powerful enemy inside and told him to draw it out.
• Li Qiuzhi fired Pyro-imbued arrows from cover, killing two Hilichurl Shooters and alerting the camp.
• Nine Mitachurls and other Hilichurls gathered outside the camp as a level-fifty-six Cryo Abyss Mage detected traces of Pyro and directed them toward Li Qiuzhi and Lisa.
• Li Qiuzhi ignited the wooden shields of two charging Mitachurls, and Lisa paralyzed an axe-wielding Mitachurl with Electro before blasting it to the ground.
• The Electro attack frightened the charging Hilichurls into stillness as they stared at the sphere above Lisa’s palm.

Lisa and Li Qiuzhi defeated the Hilichurls at the Eclipse Clan Camp, but the Cryo Abyss Mage escaped before they could capture it. They found the chest containing Dvalin’s Sigh and headed toward Starsnatch Cliff, while Lisa explained what materials Li Qiuzhi would need to modify his Electro Delusion.

• Lisa obliterated more than twenty Hilichurls with a concentrated Electro attack, leaving a charred hollow in the ground.
• The Cryo Abyss Mage attacked Li Qiuzhi and Lisa with Frost Sacrifice, then escaped using Teleportation Magic.
• Li Qiuzhi and Lisa found a precious chest in a wooden hut, discovered it was filled with ore and Dvalin’s Sigh, and stored the whole chest in Lisa’s Vision.
• Lisa told Li Qiuzhi that modifying his Electro Delusion would require high-quality Electro materials capable of storing Elemental Power.

Li Qiuzhi and the others gathered at Starsnatch Cliff, where Lumine purified the collected Dvalin tears and Venti restored the Holy Lyre der Himmel. Venti proposed a risky plan to save Dvalin by having Lumine purify the Poison Spikes on his back after they summoned him.

• Lisa teleported Li Qiuzhi and the others to Starsnatch Cliff, where they met Lumine, Paimon, Jean, Diluc, and Venti.
• Lisa brought out the treasure chest, and Li Qiuzhi revealed the Red Crystal inside for Lumine to purify into Dvalin's Sigh.
• Lumine purified another Red Crystal given to her by Venti, who used the purified tears to restore the Holy Lyre der Himmel.
• Li Qiuzhi warned that Dvalin might be too unstable to reason with, and Venti explained that forcefully restraining him could worsen his injuries.
• Lumine agreed to risk saving Dvalin, and Venti planned for her to climb onto his back and purify the Poison Spikes while the others kept him occupied.

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, Diluc, and Venti summoned Stormterror, and Lumine and Diluc climbed onto Dvalin's back while Venti tried to help him. As Dvalin attacked under the Abyss Order's influence, Jean and Lisa fought the Abyss Mages while Li Qiuzhi prepared to join the battle.

• Venti played the Holy Lyre der Himmel at Starsnatch Cliff, summoning Stormterror as Lumine, Diluc, and Li Qiuzhi prepared to act.
• Lumine leaped onto Dvalin's head and slid onto his back, while Diluc also boarded him and Dvalin roared furiously at Venti.
• Dvalin unleashed a storm and fired wind projectiles at Lumine and Diluc, whose attacks were joined by a streak of Diluc's flaming sword light.

• Jean shielded the group from the storm and struck the Cryo Abyss Mage with a Wind Blade as Lisa attacked the mages with lightning.
• Venti flew to help Lumine and Dvalin, while Li Qiuzhi fired a Pyro arrow at the Cryo Abyss Mage.

Li Qiuzhi, Jean, and Lisa defeated the Cryo and Hydro Abyss Mages while Lumine and Diluc fought on Dvalin’s back. Lumine purified the final poison spike, clearing Dvalin’s mind and ending the storm as sunlight broke through the clouds.

• Li Qiuzhi’s Pyro arrows weakened the Cryo Abyss Mage’s shield, and Jean destroyed it with a powerful Anemo slash that spread the flames.
• Lisa’s lightning disrupted the Hydro Abyss Mage’s escape and shattered its shield, defeating it.
• Dvalin gathered energy for a devastating attack while Lumine continued purifying the final poison spike on his back.
• Diluc struck down Dvalin’s wind projectile with a flaming attack as Lumine broke the poison spike.
• Dvalin regained his senses, dispersed his gathered energy and storm, and sunlight shone through the thinning clouds.

After Lumine and the others helped free Dvalin from the Abyss Order's influence, he flew them back toward Mondstadt, where Jean planned to reward the Honorary Knights. At the Knights of Favonius headquarters, they ran into Klee trying to sneak out on an adventure, and Lisa teased Li Qiuzhi about her being called “Auntie.”

• Dvalin thanked Li Qiuzhi and the others, then carried them through the sky toward Mondstadt as Venti comforted him and shared the Anemo Archon's power.
• Dvalin set the group down outside the city, and Jean brought Lumine, Paimon, and Li Qiuzhi to the Knights of Favonius headquarters to discuss a reward.
• Klee burst out of the headquarters, bumped into Jean, and admitted she had been trying to go on an adventure.
• Lisa let Noelle take Klee to play inside the city, and Klee hurried off with Noelle.
• Lisa asked Li Qiuzhi whether she looked worn out after Klee nearly called her “Auntie,” and he reassured her that her skin looked fair and soft.

After helping save Mondstadt, Li Qiuzhi and Lumine discussed their rewards with Acting Grand Master Jean, who offered each of them a complete set of four-star Artifacts. Jean said they would have to return the next day to complete the registration, and the group left the Knights' headquarters as night fell.

• Jean asked Li Qiuzhi and Lumine what rewards they wanted, and Lumine asked the Knights to search for her brother.
• Paimon suggested asking for food, but Jean offered each of them a complete set of Artifacts instead.
• Jean explained Artifact types, set bonuses, and enhancement, and Li Qiuzhi was surprised that the reward would be five initial-state four-star Artifacts for each of them.
• Li Qiuzhi and Lumine accepted the reward, and Jean said they would need to return the next day to register for it.
• Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon left the headquarters and headed toward Valberry Street while Paimon recounted her worries during Lumine's battle with Dvalin.
• A string of messages suddenly appeared on Li Qiuzhi's Character Panel.
