Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Guide

The next day, Fina woke up from her sleep.

She lay leaning against the window all night, her back aching due to the unnatural posture.

But even so, she felt mentally more relaxed than ever before.

The gentle wind outside the window blew the windows and made a clear "squeaking" sound. On the streets of Mondstadt not far away, traces of people's activities gradually came to life, and she heard the voices of people talking in the distance.

Needless to say, after enduring the toxins in the medicine for so long, this was the first time that she actually fell asleep in the pain.

It was also the first time that she felt like she had entered another beautiful dream when she woke up from her sleep.

"Fina... Fina! Are you at home?"

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The person who called her had a distinctive voice, and she immediately recognized who it was.

Fina rubbed her head and stood up holding on to the wall.

After adapting to the current situation as quickly as possible, she opened the door.

"Wendy?" There was a hint of confusion in the girl's blue eyes, "How do you know my address?"

The bard chuckled: "I am the best bard in Mondstadt. I have many friends! I can always find out where you live just by asking."

Fina was stunned.

She didn't hesitate and asked, "What do you want from me?"

It was still morning, and the sunlight was shining warmly on Fina's opened door. She opened the door and saw the bard standing in the light, and even she was covered in sunlight.

Wendy's eyes were crooked, and her tone was as cheerful as ever: "Yesterday when you left in a hurry, I forgot to tell you that your things fell under the statue of the God of Winds. Now I will bring them to you."

He opened his palm, and Fina noticed a dandelion-shaped ornament lying on Wendy's hand.

She looked at the bard's smiling eyes, and finally shook her head sincerely: "Sorry, this is not my thing."

"It's surprisingly sincere, Fina." Wendy slumped her shoulders and sighed faintly, "Well, it's actually the gift I want to give you."

——A gift for her?

His change of topic was so sudden that Fina didn't react for a moment.

"You're so good, why do you want to give me a gift all of a sudden?"

"Well...how should I put it, it's actually not a sudden decision." Wendy said, "I have wanted to give you some gifts in return for a long time. If it weren't for Fina, I might not even be able to make any money... …If you hadn’t gone to the pub that night, I would have starved to death on the streets…”

This is a lie.

But bards are best at weaving stories. If they weave too many stories, it becomes difficult to tell the truth from the false even when they speak.

At least Fina, who has been walking on thin ice among fools for many years, did not see this kind of white lie.

Wendy basked in the sunshine.

The morning sun was not too dazzling. It shone from behind him, and the bard's whole body was coated with a warm and fuzzy golden color, as if even time was blurred.

Fina's breath hitched.

Covered by the large and gorgeous clothes, her heart was itching under the long bandages. She couldn't tell whether this was because the effect of the medicine had weakened or something else.

——But strangely, she didn't hate it.

"Okay, in that case, I'll accept it."

she heard herself say.

In this almost stagnant time, she didn't know what kind of bad aftereffects of the medicine she had.

Why did I suddenly start having an irregular heartbeat?

No, this won't work.

This is not okay...

——Too bad, Fina.

She warned herself so, but her hand took the dandelion-shaped ornament uncontrollably.

It was not a very heavy thing. The moment she held it in her hand, Fina felt a relaxing breeze in a daze, not sure if it was due to her damn psychology.

Even the tense nerves relaxed.

The emotion called happiness beats in my heart.

Wendy smiled.

"It seems that you like this gift very much, Fina." He picked up his harp and played a few brisk syllables, looking very happy that his gift was loved.

Wendy's words brought Fina, who had been in a daze for a moment, back to her senses.

She looked into the bard's eyes and said seriously: "Thank you, Wendy. This is the first gift I have received."

If it's just a small gift...it should be fine if you accept it, right?

Wendy seemed stunned for a moment.

"——The first gift you received?!!" His tone was instantly surprised, as if he heard something unbelievable, "No way? Has Fina never received a gift before?"

Her thoughts drifted away for a moment.

"I didn't know before I had the memory." She told the truth. "This is the first time since I have the memory."

Maybe her parents had sincerely celebrated her birth and really gave her something.

But later when she was transferred to Xumi's Desert Research Institute and Dr. Zhidong's laboratory, she had always only benefited from being promoted, and had no value in accepting gifts.

The doctor wouldn't even think about giving a gift to an experimental subject - except, of course, for the pain he suffered from him.

Wendy thought of her painful murmurs last night and was silent for a moment.

His silence was too gentle, and Fina was too lost in her thoughts to notice.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this!" Wendy smiled again, "If you like, I can also play a piece of music for you every day as a gift."

He could tell that Fina liked his music.

So Fina was really confused: "Why are you so nice to me?"

"Well..." the bard struggled for a moment, and then pleaded with a pitiful expression, "Actually, it's because I have nowhere to go! I had too many gifts on credit from Angel before, and Master Diluc has banned me. I went again, so now I’m starving to death on the roadside! It would be great if I could come and play a song for Fina every day to get a little bit of the generosity of the kind-hearted lady!”

This is a lie.

He clearly wrote the words "Yes, my food is wine" on his face, and Fina, whom he called a kind lady, also saw it.

"Drinking too much alcohol is not good for your health..." she advised politely.

"But without wine, the poor bard will wither mentally before he can starve to death." Wendy said in despair.

"But can't you go perform under the statue of the God of Wind?" Fina still remembers what she saw before. "Aren't you the best bard in Mondstadt? You can make up stories easily, right? Just make up a few stories about the God of Wind to attract people. Eyeballs will always make money.”

Wendy was a little distressed: "I don't chant the Wind God."

"Why? Aren't you from Mondstadt?"

Even his profession is a bard, but he doesn't sing about the God of Wind?

"How should I put it..." Wendy only said, "I prefer to tell some new stories than Barbatos, which almost everyone in Mondstadt knows."

Fina: "New...story?"

"Yeah, if I could witness a story with my own eyes... Well..." He thought for a moment and casually told the outline of the story, "The fragile girl escaped from the cage that trapped her, and then bravely spread her wings to fly to To give her freedom...what do you think?"

There was something in his words, and his emerald green eyes stared at her for a moment.

At that moment, she had the illusion of being seen through.

The story told by the bard in front of me was like a beautiful dream that only appeared in the morning light.

"...Of course that's good." She said in a daze.

--small theater--

Although Barbatos does not bless love, Barbatos bless freedom.
