Genshin Impact: Zhongli discovered that he was stealing tributes at the beginning

Another day passed, Wu Yong, Ape God Changsheng and Jiang Xue came back.

Wu Yong was very tired due to the long journey.

"Grandpa, you should go and rest first. I have packed your luggage. We will set off to Mondstadt tomorrow."

"Okay, is the Wind Flower Festival tomorrow?" Wu Yong asked.

Wu Ye nodded.

"Oh, then I'm back late. It seems we won't be able to see the grand scene on the first day. After all, it takes at least two days to get to the Shimen from here."

"It's okay, we'll be there soon. In the blink of an eye, you won't forget that I know magic."

"Okay, okay." Wu Yong remembered something, "Then we have to go to your father and mother's place and talk to them before we leave."

"I've already said it, but if you want to go, we can go again and take Hutao and the others with us."

"Haha, okay, grandpa, I'm going to rest first."

......

Mondstadt is a free city-state located in the northeastern part of the Teyvat continent.

Between the mountains and the vast plains, the free wind carries the breath of dandelions across the Cider Lake, sending the blessings and favors of the wind god Barbatos to Mondstadt, which is located on the island in the center of the lake.

It can be said that in Mondstadt today, poetry and wine go hand in hand, and freedom and hope coexist.

But this free country was not always free, at least not in the beginning.

In the distant past, the Mondstadt area was still a cold and desolate ice field, with howling cold winds all year round, making it unsuitable for human habitation.

There are two powerful demon gods in the Mondstadt area, namely the Demon God of Gale, Diekarabian, and the Wolf King of the North Wind, Andrius.

Diego Rabian built towers and castles, and surrounded the towers with strong winds to insulate them from the cold. It provides protection for people who are hungry and cold in the wind and snow, and people call it the lonely king of the tower. The royal city is located at the ruins of today's Wind Dragon, also known as Old Mondstadt.

Andrius symbolizes the wild nature, the wolf king leading his pack to hunt in the howling cold wind. Andrius is not friendly to humans, but he will still lend a helping hand and take in refugees who are about to freeze or starve to death.

"In ancient times, during the struggle between the King of Gale Wind and the King Wolf of the North Wind, the land of Mondstadt was swept by sandy wind and snow. People who couldn't bear the cold came to the towering cliffs in the east and built a temple to ask for God's protection and favor - the remaining chapter of the ritual.』

During the Demon God War about 3000 years ago, Andrius and Diego Rabian fought for the position of the God of Wind, but the royal city under the rule of the gale was indestructible. Even the Wolf King of the North Wind is helpless.

Dicka Rabian has a surly character and imposes tyranny on the people living under the tower. The strong wind raging around the lonely king makes people have to bow their heads, but the lonely king in the tower thinks it is the surrender of his followers and gratitude for his protection.

Beyond the raging wind of the tower is endless ice, snow and wilderness. Despite this, there were still tribes yearning for freedom that escaped the tyrant's control. Among them are the Gunnhild family and the Faroohi family.

Gunnhild's father led the tribe to flee, but was trapped in a snowstorm on the way, and the entire tribe almost perished. When they were in dire straits, the elves in the thousand winds heard the prayers of young Gunnhild. The girl's devout prayers and the voices of the refugees condensed into faith. Faith gathered around Wendy, the wind elf, and brought her gained strength.

The sylphs provided shelter to the tribe and gave their power to Gunnhild, allowing them to survive the snowstorm. After her father's death, Gunnhild became the tribe's leader and priestess. Protect the people from cold and hunger.

Faruhi's tribe went all the way south and came to what is today known as Longji Snow Mountain. At that time, the snow mountain was not covered by ice and snow, and it was a paradise full of vitality. Faruhi's tribe multiplied here and established a country called Shar Fendenir. And Faruhi is the king and the priest.

The reason why the snow-capped mountains are not covered by ice and snow is because there is an ancient white tree on the snow-capped mountains that can withstand the wind and snow and provide protection. Faruhi's daughter, the princess of Fendenir, was born under the white tree, and the foreigner Aemon Lokar met and fell in love with her.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The nail of cold weather fell, the white trees were destroyed, and the originally green paradise was covered with ice and snow. The people of Fendenir had nowhere to go and all perished.

Priest Faruhi climbed to the altar on the top of the mountain, but could not hear the sound from the sky and could not return. The princess took the most complete branches from the white tree and buried them at the foot of the mountain. Unfortunately, there was deathly silence under the biting cold wind.

The princess asked her lover Imon Loka to find a way to revive the ancient tree. Unfortunately, the stranger could not find the answer in the wind and snow. When he returned to his hometown in the mountain country, the only thing that washed away his dust was the empty echo of death.

"A warrior with a heavy trust hesitates in the vast wind and snow, carrying the contract of the mountain city and clear eyes. The warrior who has gone through vicissitudes of life has never been afraid of the unknown outside the ice curtain.

But in the end, the warrior who walked through the snow failed to return in time. The words of hatred that have long been erased by the wind and snow accuse him of fleeing - the lost warrior of the ice wind. 』

Imon Loka fell into sadness, which soon turned into endless confusion. "Since God wants to see blood and death, then I will dedicate battle and strife to them." He left the sword made of star silver given by his lover in the former palace, and turned towards the disputes and battles at the foot of the mountain.

When the lush capital city is hidden by mountains, and the endless snowstorm blocks the cool moonlight, the vitality and every interrupted story are pierced by the long nails falling from the blue sky - the star silver buried in the snow.

Under the tyrannical rule of Diego Rabian, the royal city was roaring with strong winds and dark clouds all day long. There was a young man playing the harp in the city, and his melody of longing for freedom was heard by the passing sylph Wendy. The boy became friends with the elf and confided in him his desire to see birds flying.

The sylph remembered the boy's wish and searched for bird feathers in the deserted wilderness. But when it came back, it found that humans had raised the banner of freedom and started to resist the tyrant. But Dierabian's power was too strong, and even Andrius, who was also a demon god, could not shake the royal city at all.

The boy joined the resistance and formed a team of four: the red-haired warrior Legenfander, the huntress Amos who was good at bow and arrow, the harp-playing bard boy, and the wind elf Wendy. Using the name Windflower, Legenfend gathered all the rebels together with the intention of overthrowing the rule of the Lone King.

"It was the time when the Wolf King of the North Wind fought fiercely with the Tower King. The huntress mistakenly believed that she had the favor of the slave master.

At the end of the battle, when the wind of resistance blew, she, together with the nameless boy, the nameless elf, and the nameless knight, climbed onto the spire like a sword piercing the deep sky to challenge the king of the wind - Amo Si's bow. 』
