Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 296: The Old God of Wind and the New God of Thunder

Wendy was invited to Inazuma, and just as he said, the wind brings the seeds of stories, and time makes them sprout.

Feng had already spread the story of Inazuma to Mond. He learned that Yae Godson had succeeded the third generation Thunder God, and he had almost guessed the death of Baalzebub.

But he didn't understand why Baalzebub died.

So, taking advantage of the "Glorious Festival" held by Inazuma, he, as the best bard in the world, followed other invited bards to Inazuma, intending to find out some information.

Because Kujo Sara was dead, the Coral Palace Army of Kaijima temporarily took over the duties of Tenryo Bugyo, so this time it was Goro who led his men to stop Wendy.

As for the reason why he was stopped by General Goro, it is the same as in the plot.

But Wendy was not drunk this time, she simply fell asleep in the warehouse on the outlying island.

As for why they were stopped, it was simply because the books in the warehouse on the outlying island were stolen, and Wendy stayed overnight in the warehouse...

In the end, it was Ying and Paimon who rescued Wendy and allowed her to escape.

These two girls had no hatred towards Wendy, so they still exchanged greetings.

Just like in the plot, Wendy also found a piece of paper with the story of "Cui Guang" written on it in the warehouse.

But he was in no mood to care about the Five Song Fairies now. His main task was to meet Shao Yun and ask him what had happened.

……

After Wendy separated from Ying and Paimon, she went through a lot of hardships...

Finally, a kind captain of the Coral Palace Army told Wendy Shao Yun’s current location.

He rushed to the Far Country Supervisory Office without stopping. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shao Yun sitting leisurely on the other side of the "new Thunder God" Yae Shinzi, reading a light novel with a calm face.

It is worth mentioning that before Wendy came, Shao Yun would take out a dagger from time to time while reading a book and reach for the delicious fried tofu in Yaye Shenzi's plate, and would pick up pieces of fried tofu and put them into his mouth without hesitation.

Poor Yae Shinko watched helplessly as his beloved food was snatched away by Shao Yun, and he couldn't even complain. His mentality completely collapsed.

Five minutes before Wendy arrived at the Far Country Supervisory Office, the intolerable Yae Shinzi ordered the editor of Yaetang to serve a full plate of "fried tofu" specifically for Shao Yun.

Now he finally managed to save the "delicious fried tofu" that he had left and that he treasured so much.

(After all, not everyone can make three-star food...)

At this moment, Shao Yun looked like he was immersed in the world of light novels. It was unclear whether he was really into it or just wanted to use reading as an excuse to avoid paying attention to Wendy.

Wendy stood at the door of Yuanguo Supervisory Office, looked at Shao Yun, and waved to him with a smile. "Mr. Shao Yun!"

Hearing Wendy's call, Shao Yun slowly raised his head, closed the light novel in his hand, and placed it on the table beside him.

There was no ripple on his face. He stared at Wendy with an unusually calm look and said lightly, "Hello."

Shao Yun did not show any surprise at Wendy's appearance, but was rather curious.

After all, at this time, Wendy was either tasting Inazuma's wine somewhere or helping Ying find the so-called story of the Five Songs Fairy. Why would he come to find me?

What's more, ever since the incident at Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, do you, Wendy, still have the nerve to face me?

Thinking of this, Shao Yun's eyes became more profound...

Wendy walked towards this side with a smile on her face, muttering something.

"Hey! It's been a long time. Shao Yun, are you doing well over at Inazuma's place?"

Shao Yun forced a smile that was uglier than crying, and responded coldly: "It's okay, it's good enough to be alive, that's all."

Wendy suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but he quickly changed the subject and asked about Baalzebub's situation.

"Uh... um, you and Ying should have met Baalzebul, right? She..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yae Kamiko, who was reading a light novel with great interest, trembled all over and stopped turning the pages.

Then her hand loosened and the light novel in her hand fell straight to the ground.

The spine of the book hit the ground with a loud, crisp thump.

The sudden noise instantly attracted the attention of the busy editors of Yaedo nearby.

……

Just now, when the editors heard Wendy mention the name "Baalzebub", they stopped their work one by one, and after the sound, everyone looked over here with strange eyes.

For a moment, the courtyard of the Yuanguo Supervisory Office fell into an eerie silence. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Wendy was confused by the reactions of the people in front of her, and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

At this time, Yae Shinko bit his lower lip tightly and his face turned slightly pale.

She slowly stood up from her seat, then bent down to pick up the fallen light novel and placed it on the table next to her.

Yae Shinko waved gently at Wendy with an expressionless face, trying hard to suppress the uncomfortable feeling churning in her heart, and said.

"Let's talk somewhere else. This isn't the place to talk about this kind of thing."

Wendy looked around, noticing the changes in everyone's expressions.

He noticed that Baalzebub's death seemed to have become a taboo topic among Inazuma.

"Well, okay, I'll follow your arrangements."

Then, the Eightfold Son of God once again turned his gaze to Shao Yun and said softly, "Shao Yun, come here too."

Shao Yun thought, why is it my business?

He stood up from his seat, walked to Yae Shinko's side, lowered his voice, and muttered softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Why are you still talking about me? Didn't I tell you everything?"

Yae Shinko looked embarrassed and responded helplessly: "It would be more convincing if you tell it yourself."

After listening to this, Shao Yun complained in dissatisfaction.

"Is this Baalzebub's revenge on me? It's been a month, and this matter hasn't been resolved yet?"

Yae Shinko crossed her arms over her chest and asked back.

"One month, is that a long time?"

Shao Yun looked at Wendy deeply and said meaningfully.

"From a certain perspective, I have a strange ability to make the days seem like years, and make a week turn into a long seven years!"

……

Afterwards, Yae Godson led Shao Yun and Wendy into the Far Country Supervisory Office.

Finally, the three of them walked into a seemingly ordinary tea room.

Although it is just an ordinary room, its sound insulation is better than expected.

More importantly, at this time the entire Far Country Supervisory Office had been requisitioned by Yaedo, and there was no sign of any Kande Bugyo to be seen at all. Such an environment was undoubtedly extremely suitable for discussing important matters.

Yae Shinko gently closed the door, turned around, and her eyes fell on Wendy.

She raised her hand gracefully, stroked her charming collarbone, and said softly: "Before that, let me introduce myself first."

"My name is Yae Miko, and I used to be the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine. Now I am the third generation Thunder God of Inazuma and the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine."

When Wendy heard the words "the third generation of Thor", her heart was shaken and she felt an indescribable sense of unreality.

However, he quickly adjusted his mood and responded with a smile: "Hello, my real name is 'Barbatos', the wind god of Mondstadt. But now, everyone calls me 'Wendy'."

Then, Wendy couldn't suppress her inner confusion, frowned, and asked in a serious tone.

"When I was in Mondstadt, I heard that the three generations of Thunder God appeared in Inazuma, and I always felt that something was wrong."

"So, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Rongcai Festival, I came to Inazuma to find out what happened. Please tell me, what happened to the previous generation of Thunder God Baalzebub?"

Hearing this question, Yae Shinko slowly lowered his head and nodded slightly.

She tried her best to keep her voice calm and squeezed out those three short and heavy words from between her teeth.

"She's dead."

Wendy trembled slightly when she heard this, and asked quickly: "What is going on? Why did it become like this?"

At this time, Yae Shenzi raised his head and cast his gaze towards Shao Yun standing beside him. He said in a slightly tired tone, "You should ask Shao Yun about the specific situation. I really don't want to think about what happened that day anymore."

Wendy then turned her attention to Shao Yun.

Shao Yun faced Wendy's inquiring eyes, slapped his forehead helplessly, and muttered impatiently.

"Oh, here it comes again..."

"Oh... okay, okay, in that case, I'll say it again. I hope this is really the last time!"

Shao Yun sighed reluctantly, and then began to tell Wendy in detail the story of Inazuma's experience, and emphasized the reasons why he decided to kill Baalzebub.

Finally, Shao Yun spread his hands helplessly and said nonchalantly: "In short, Baalzebub injured Ying, and I decisively killed her."

"It was just an act of pure revenge, plain and simple, there was no other reason! I really hope I won't have to tell this story again in the future!"

After Shao Yun finished speaking, the Eightfold Son of God went on to elaborate in detail on how he absorbed the authority of the God of Thunder.

……

After listening to the two people's stories, Wendy rubbed her temples and sorted out her thoughts.

He frowned and said in a slightly heavy tone: "So, even though Baalzebul's body was destroyed, the authority of the God of Thunder still exists?"

Yae Shinto nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the seal of thunder on his back.

"That's true, that's why I absorbed the power of the Thunder God and became the third Thunder God of Inazuma."

At this moment, Wendy was filled with melancholy and tapped her head unconsciously.

He inadvertently said something that seemed absurd but actually contained profound meaning.

"Oh my dandelion wine, why is everything going wrong?"

When Shao Yun heard the three words "went astray", he felt very confused.

"What do you mean by going astray? Wendy, what did you just say?"

"Nothing, I just didn't expect..."

Wendy paused for a moment, trying hard to conceal the subtle panic in her heart, and then quickly found a seemingly reasonable excuse.

"I thought you would become friends with Baalzebul. After all, we got along very well when you were in Mondstadt and Liyue. I didn't expect you to clash with Baalzebul."

After listening to Wendy's words, Shao Yun, as expected, no longer thought about those so-called "going astray" issues.

It was just because of Wendy’s words that ignited Shao Yun’s long-suppressed anger!

Shao Yun suddenly stretched out a finger and shouted in a bad tone.

"Today we must make things clear and understandable!"

"First of all, since the moment we left Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, we are no longer so-called 'friends'!"

"At this moment, the reason why I didn't put the bullet in your head is entirely because you and Morax don't pose any substantial threat to Ying!"

Before he finished speaking, Shao Yun extended his second finger.

"Secondly, I agreed to continue this long journey, but that doesn't mean I will flatter you and make friends with you seven gods. So don't be so self-indulgent and think that everyone will like you seven gods!"

Shao Yun had never forgiven Wendy and Zhongli, but for Ying's sake, he temporarily forgot everything that happened.

Seeing this face again now brought back many bad memories.

Wendy slowly reached out her hand to comfort the emotional Shao Yun.

"I know, you didn't say that."

Shao Yun was now extremely impatient. He rubbed his neck vigorously and asked in a stiff tone, "Apart from that, is there anything else? If nothing else, I will continue to read the free books of Yaedang."

After saying that, without waiting for Wendy's response, he eagerly pushed open the door and disappeared from their sight.

Shao Yun didn't want to waste his precious time in this small tea room.

……

After Shao Yun left the tea room, Yae Shenzi poked his head out and observed the corridor.

After she was sure that Shao Yun had completely left, she closed the door, turned to look at Wendy, and said solemnly: "Actually, Shao Yun missed some things. Lei Dianzhen talked to him, and all this shouldn't have happened."

Then, Yae Shinko told Wendy the scene he witnessed of Shao Yun and Raiden Shin communicating as shown by the Divine Sakura Tree.

After listening to this, Wendy's reaction was exactly the same as that of the Eightfold Son of God who had witnessed this scene with his own eyes. He found it difficult to understand Shao Yun's behavior.

"You mean, Shao Yun rejected Baal's suggestion to help him reverse the past with the help of Istaru's power because of that mysterious guy?"

Yae Shinko looked at Wendy's reaction and nodded silently.

"That's true, although Shao Yun's explanation of not going back to the past makes sense."

"But if Shao Yun didn't have that unspeakable thing behind him, I think the probability of him agreeing to 'Lei Dian Zhen' would be very high."

People are always willing to believe what they want to believe. Although Yae Shen Zi used Shao Yun's reasons to comfort herself, deep down, she still felt that the incident of killing the Thunder God had eased.

So, slowly, she created an enemy for herself in her mind, thinking that the mysterious guy was the culprit of all this!
