Genshin Impact: The wind blowing back to the starting point

Chapter 269 Like being trapped in a swamp

In the dark night, Wendy and Vadier sat opposite each other outside the room.

Wendy waited quietly for Vadier to speak, but Vadier looked absent-minded.

After sitting for a long time, he still had no intention of speaking, so Wendy had to take the lead and asked: "Is there nothing I can do?"

"Huh?" Vadier looked at Wendy as if he had just come back to his senses.

Wendy looked at him tenderly. Although he was not a believer in the God of Wind, the kind God of Wind still cast a gentle gaze on him.

"Is there nothing you can do about sending the envoy to sacrifice?"

According to the village records Zhongli read, it was not completely impossible.

A hundred years ago, the sacrificial day was interrupted once, but I don’t know if this method has been passed down.

Faced with Wendy's question, Vadier thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly, and said in a frustrated and helpless tone: "That is God's will, and there is nothing you can do about it."

"Then why don't you tell me how this god chooses people? I have a good relationship with the Wind God and the Rock God. Maybe I can help you think of something." Wendy looked at him and said.

"No need," Wadiye shook his head with a wry smile, "Some of them have thought of many ways, but their lives will inevitably be devoured by God on that day."

Wadiye's voice was so soft that if you didn't listen carefully, it would be lost in the wind.

And he didn't look as high-spirited as when he drew the bow and hunted that day. He looked as if he had aged several dozen years. The enthusiasm was gone, and only melancholy stayed on his face.

"Was there such a thing as a messenger before?"

Although Wendy and Zhongli already knew the existence of the sacrificial envoy by peeking at the village journal.

However, he still had to act in front of Wadiye, pretending not to know anything.

Hearing Wendy's question, Vadier said "hmm".

"Then since it has always been there, why don't you leave first? Instead of betting on good luck, it is better to fly far away and be safer." Wendy asked.

Hearing this, Wadiye laughed self-deprecatingly: "Who hasn't tried it? Of course, we can't live without it."

"Huh? Why?"

Wendy was confused. It didn't have a strange barrier like Wangyou Village. It wasn't like the Land of Paradise, which was sunk at the bottom of the sea and was surrounded by a barrier. It wasn't like Old Mondstadt, which was surrounded by high walls.

If you want to walk here, it's extremely simple. If you bring enough dry food, you can walk to the Layer Rock Abyss in two days. When you reach Liyue, you will enter the sphere of influence of the Rock King. You are not afraid of any strange snake gods.

But Wadiye smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Because of nightmares, we believe in the snake god. Once we leave the village, we will have nightmares all the time."

If it's only for one day, you can still persist.

But if it goes on day after day, the spirit will only gradually collapse, and it will also lead to death.

But here it is different. In their seventy years of life, they have to bet that this seventy times may not happen to them and their families.

But as long as it doesn't happen, they can spend a relaxing and happy year.

At least this year, they won't have nightmares and they can spend every night peacefully.

"Having a nightmare?" Wendy looked at Vadier in surprise.

Could it be that all three of their nightmares were caused by the so-called snake god? But why is Morax okay?

"Yes, if you touch the wrath of God, God will warn you, of course, in the form of a nightmare. Generally, touching its wrath is nothing more than receiving his gift and then betraying it. If The betrayal doesn’t stop, and neither does the nightmare.”

But if you say so, then Anika is also a devout believer in the snake god. Why does she still have nightmares?

"Because she also had doubts about the snake god..." Wadiye explained.

Under normal circumstances, the messenger would know his identity in advance. When they went hunting that day, a snake totem appeared on Anika's hand, which was the mark of being chosen by the snake god.

Therefore, at that moment she also began to complain, complaining about why the snake god chose her. If she was the only one, then so be it.

But in her belly, there was still a child that she had been looking forward to and waiting for for a long time. They had been looking forward to the child's arrival. They carefully selected a name for the child and made a lot of clothes for him.

However, he has not seen this world yet and is about to leave with his mother.

Anika was naturally unwilling to give in.

She blames fate, and even more blames the unreasonable snake god.

But what's the use? The end result would be that she would have nightmares, spend restless nights one after another, and then slowly die.

Speaking of this, Wadiye grabbed his arm tightly and said with a cry in his voice: "I can hunt down all the prey she wants. I can give up my future and even my life for her, but I can't save her." She could only watch her slowly sinking like in a swamp."

Wendy turned her head and let out a long sigh of relief. He was an emotional god himself, and after listening to Wadiye's words, he felt congested in his heart.

Thinking about it this way, if they follow what Wadiye said, they will always have nightmares that will never stop.

Thinking of this, Wendy calmed down and asked: "What should she do if she has nightmares? Believe in the snake god again? Or..."

"How is it possible to believe again as before? I can only use realgar and spells to block the snake god as much as possible. Although the effect will only continue to weaken, it can still allow her and me to spend these last few days."

After hearing what he said, Wendy took another look at the locked room. It turned out that realgar had such a use, so should she consider preparing some before going to bed tomorrow night?

However, Wendy immediately gave up the idea. With the realgar, he didn't know the spell, so it would be better not to use it.

"Don't give up hope," Wendy looked at Wadiye tenderly. He couldn't directly say that he saw a sacrificial messenger alive a hundred years ago, so he could only say euphemistically,

"Maybe an old man in the village knows, or the high priest knows? Even if tomorrow is the last day, we can still look forward to a miracle. One last word for you, the wind will turn and one day it will blow to a brighter place. ."

After Wendy finished speaking, she patted Vadier on the shoulder for some comfort.

They are looking for a way to stop having nightmares, and Wendy will naturally help Wadiye and Anika find a way along the way.

Of course, the God of Wind usually doesn't directly say who he wants to help, he only guides.

He was also sleepy at this moment, so Wendy went back to the house to sleep first, leaving only Wadiye outside the house.

After Wendy left, he wanted to go back, but when he stood up slowly, he felt his legs become weak.

Just when he almost fell, he held on to the guardrail.

As he was thinking about Wendy's words, he suddenly felt as if a pair of hands were holding his throat, and a feeling of suffocation came over him.

He covered his heart, gasping for air, and tears couldn't stop flowing. No one knew what he was crying about at this moment, not even himself.

Maybe it's heartache, maybe it's touching, or maybe it's some other emotion...
