Original God, eternal guardian

When Sora arrived, the green guy was in the Fengshen Square opposite the Zephyr Church.

Moreover, he was standing under the statue of the God of Wind, ready to start his story. Sora was not stupid. He saw that the person in front of him had no ill intentions and seemed to be a bard.

Then listen to a story.

The green guy in front of him played the piano for a while. This short time was enough for Paimon to come over.

There is no need to explain to Paimon, because the story has already begun.

"The story I'm about to tell originated from the ancient times, when the gods still walked the earth and the dragons descended from the sky, full of curiosity about everything in the world."

"The dragon seeks his own answer, but cannot understand the chaos of the world. The singer of the wind plays the strings, and the piano of the sky answers for him one by one. The dragon is just a curious child, just flying without worrying, until now. "

"He listened to poetry and wanted to learn to sing. In order to let all things understand his heart, the singer and the dragon turned into legends. The dark age was coming."

"At this time, the lion's teeth are damaged, the eagle is unable to fly, and another evil dragon is approaching Mondstadt. Suffering is the shadow hanging over the cathedral, and the sighs are re-formed into poems and paintings by the poet."

"The dragon in the sky obeyed the call and fought to the death with the evil dragon in the storm."

"The dragon in the sky swallowed the poisonous blood of the evil dragon and fell into a deep sleep. Many years later, no one recognized him when he revived. Why do people today dislike me?"

"The Sky Piano did not speak. Anger and sadness, poisonous blood and life turned into tears and fell. The poems were silent. Corruption took effect easily, but the Sky Piano was unable to speak."

The story ends here

Everyone left after listening to the story. Maybe people just regarded the story as just a story.

But Sora knew that the person in front of him was no ordinary person.

So until everyone had left, he still stayed there with Paimon.

Of course the bard also saw him: "Huh? You were the one who scared Tvarin away at that time."

"Tvarin? Who is it?" Paimon asked

After all, when Time and Space asked Lisa, she didn't listen carefully, so she forgot that this was the name of the Wind Demon Dragon.

"It's the name of the Wind Demon Dragon." Kong said.

"Oh, yes, I remembered it, but don't most people call him Feng Molong? Why do you call him that? Are you familiar with each other?"

Paimon asked directly

"you guess?"

"Um...Sora, I feel like this person is weird." Paimon said.

"Hello, Sora, how about you?" Sora introduced himself first.

"I am a bard, Wendy, to be precise, the reigning champion of Mondstadt's most popular bard three times in a row."

"What do you want from me?" Wendy typically pretended to be confused while trying to understand.

"Since you have recognized us, there is no need to explain more, right? Of course it's about the Wind Demon Dragon."

Sora didn't say anything. He knew that Paimeng was more reliable than anything else.

"Huh -?" Wendy said in a long voice

"...You don't have to pretend to have amnesia all of a sudden, right? By the way, Sora, show him that thing."

Kong nodded and took out the crystal.

But unlike before, the impurity-filled red crystal turned into a pure blue crystal.

"Purified??" Paimon noticed the changes in the crystal.

"Well, I don't know exactly why it is like this, but it was red before and there were many impurities on it."

Sora didn’t know why, so he explained it in detail.

Wendy showed a sad look: "These are the tears Tevarin shed because of pain."

"Eye, tears?!" Pamon was obviously very surprised.

Although this thing looks like tears, it is somewhat outrageous.

"He was once a gentle kid and now he's become so sad and full of anger."

"I also have a teardrop crystal here. Can you evolve it?" Wendy said and pulled out a teardrop crystal.

Sora took the teardrop, and then Sora used a little power, and the teardrop was purified and returned to his original blue appearance.

"Okay, that's amazing..." Paimon opened his mouth in surprise.

"You really have incredible power."

This is true. After all, Sora doesn't have much power now, and he can easily purify his tears. It's very abstract, okay?

"People like you are destined to be on the psalms sung by bards. Standing in the sun can lead to heroes, and standing in the shade can also lead to disaster."

"But I don't have time to compose a new song for you now. Even if Tevalin is not punished, his life will pass quickly, and he will burn himself out in anger."

Wendy felt a little sad as she spoke.

"How can I help?" Sora asked, feeling like he needed to do something.

"The purification crystal has been a big help, I'm very grateful, but now I have a plan of my own."

"Huh? What's your plan?" Paimon asked.

"Seeing the dragon's teardrops reminded me of a story, so I'll excuse you now and go to the symbol of Mondstadt's heroes. Goodbye." Wendy left after saying that.

Paimon looked at Sora: "What do you think?"

"He is a strange person."

"You are also a strange person to him."

"And his voice is very familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere." Kong thought of his duel with the Wind Demon Dragon Tian Tian.

"Really? I didn't hear it."

Sora planned to skip this topic: "Where is the symbol of Mondstadt's hero?"

"I do know this. It's the big tree where the wind rises from the ground."

"Come on, let's go take a look."

When we arrived at Fengqi Land, Wendy was indeed there

Before Sora walked over, Wendy turned around

"Well, why are you here? Although I was just wondering if you would follow me."

"I want to know more about the Wind God."

"Barbatos, God of Wind? That guy has disappeared from Mondstadt. The rock god of neighboring Liyue and the thunder god of Inazuma are still there, but Mondstadt has not seen their gods for a long time."

"Why are you asking about the Wind God? Is it because of Tvarin?"

"This... is because of God..." Paimon blurted out directly, but fortunately Sora interrupted her.

"Someone told me about Feng Molong's past."

"Oh? So what do the people in Mondstadt think of Tvarin now? I'm very interested, but... you don't have to tell me in such a hurry. I haven't been back here for a long time. There are some things that are concerning to my arrival. Very dissatisfied.”

Wendy's style changes

Kong sensed danger and immediately turned around and saw a ball

"It's the Core of the Wind! Logically speaking, they shouldn't appear in a plain with only a breeze." Paimon recognized them and called out their names directly.

The Core of the Wind, a slightly conscious but not high-level monster, seems to be related to Die Rabian of Old Mondstadt, but no one has verified the specific situation.

Wendy didn't take any action during the whole process, and Kong was able to solve it by himself, but it only took a little effort.

"Let's talk about it just now. Lisa, the librarian of the Knights, told me about the Wind Demon Dragon."

Sora then told about his conversation with Lisa and the contents of the book, as well as his and Lisa's views on the Wind Demon Dragon.

"I see. Indeed, the conflict has reached this point, of course because both sides began to use force, but his initial hatred was definitely not because people stopped worshiping the Guardians of the Four Winds."

"That was not a naturally born hatred, but a product of corrosion. It was the black blood flowing into his heart that tortured him and made him sleep peacefully for many years."

"That's why when he wakes up this time, his spirit will be corrupted by the spell of the Abyss Mage."

Abyss mage, a new word

"What is that?" Sora asked

"They are creatures that are enemies of humans. I don't know their origins. I only know that they have deep malice towards this world. By the way, in addition, they can also trap Qiuqiu people and some other monsters."

Wendy's explanation is quite detailed.

"Before I got here, I was corrupted by the same curse as Tevarin."

"But where we are now is the source of everything in Mondstadt. The wind in the world is very good, and there is a smell that I like. Staying here, with you here, can effectively remove the toxins that corrode me."

Wendy stretched: "I feel better."

Kong asked curiously: "How did you get poisoned in the first place?"

"Well, because I was trying to communicate with Tevalin at that time, but was interrupted. As a result, not only did I not remove the curse for Tevalin, I was also eroded by the power of the abyss." Wendy looked at him with a smirk after saying that. bearish

"??So? It's because of me?"

"Yes."

Then Sora's expression was somewhat festive, his eyes were wide open and he looked incredulous.

"How about doing me a favor as an apology?"

"You said."

"Go somewhere with me."

Wendy brought Sora to the Angel Tavern

From the moment he came in, to taking his seat, to the moment the waiter brought the drink, Kong looked confused.

At this time, a handsome red-haired guy came over and said, "You're here."

This sentence was obviously meant for Wendy.
