"travelling poet?"

"Wendy?"

Paimon and Ying spoke at the same time, their eyes full of confusion.

"Although it may sound a little strange, the person we just saw was indeed Mr. Wendy."

“He often performs at the statue of the God of Wind.”

Tan Ningsu said with great confidence.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Paimon said impatiently.

"Uh...what if Mr. Wendy isn't the person we saw originally?"

After all, it feels so rude to sneak behind someone...

Although Mr. Wendy seems particularly unreliable and also appears to be particularly unreliable during the short time they spent together, Tan Ningsu's intuition tells her that Mr. Wendy is actually a very reliable person.

If he really has a relationship with the wind god, then he just drinks in the tavern every day and doesn't care about Tevarin at all. Is there something wrong?

"You have to see it first to know~"

"Susu, you didn't see the other person clearly at that time, but Ying saw it clearly!"

"Just let Ying point it out later~"

Paimon was not worried at all about what would happen if he found the wrong person, or rather, Paimon's ability to read the atmosphere might be even worse than Tan Ningsu's.

"Ok."

Come to think of it, Mr. Wendy didn't seem like someone who would mind such things. In his own imagination, Tan Ningsu was persuaded by Paimon.

"Let's keep walking."

Ying said.

The three of them walked towards the statue of the God of Wind.

As she walked, Ying became more alert.

When Paimon and Susu weren't paying attention, she clearly "saw" wisps of wind elemental aura in her elemental vision, as if it was deliberately guiding them and it never stopped along the way.

The three of them stepped onto the last step and passed through the corridor of the Wind God Square. They immediately saw Wendy plucking the strings of the harp under the statue of the Wind God, surrounded by Mondstadt citizens.

The pleasant sound of the piano, like the sound of a flowing spring, floated into the ears of the three people through the wind, instantly soothing their somewhat anxious hearts.

The three of them looked at each other, silently walked through the crowd, and listened to each other's performance with everyone else.

"The story I want to tell begins in ancient times, when the gods still walked the earth and the sky dragon descended from the sky..."

It’s a narrative poem I’ve never heard of before! (Tan Susu was instantly fascinated)

This person is indeed not a simple person. Such a secret is not something an "ordinary" bard should know. Is he the unknown follower of the Wind God, or is he the Wind God himself... (Ying realized that the other party might be a god, and instantly became alert)

It sounds so good! (Paimon is also fascinated)

"Full of curiosity about everything in the world, the dragon seeks its own answers, but cannot understand the complexity of the world. The wind singer plays the strings, and the sky harp answers it one by one. The dragon is just a curious child, flying without worries, until now..."

Is this referring to the encounter between Barbatos, the god of wind, and Tevarin?

Tan Ningsu glanced at Ying beside her and found that her expression was a little solemn, then he quietly took her hand and smiled at her.

"It listens to poetry and wants to learn to sing, so that all things can understand its heart."

Ying, who was being held, had a slightly helpless expression on her face, but her body honestly relaxed.

The other party didn't show any ill intentions, so maybe she didn't need to be so nervous.

"The singer and the dragon became legends, and a dark age descended."

Here comes the point.

Ying narrowed her eyes slightly.

"At this time, the lion's fangs are rotten, the eagle's flag is not flying, another evil dragon is approaching Mondstadt, suffering is the shadow hanging over the cathedral, and the poets have re-composed their lamentations into poetry..."

Uh...it seems like an allusion is being made here?

Tan Ningsu remembered that the Mondstadt history book he read in the library of the Knights' headquarters didn't seem to be on the same timeline as what Wendy said?

For example, the former should refer to the incident of Vanessa overthrowing the old nobility a thousand years ago, and the latter should refer to the incident of the snow mountain dragon five hundred years ago?

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

Wendy's piano music changes from soothing at first, to low later, and finally to passionate now, indicating that the narrative poem has reached its climax.

"The sky dragon swallowed the poisonous blood of the evil dragon and fell into a deep sleep."

The sound of the piano changed again, becoming a little sad?

Tan Ningsu thought with some uncertainty.

"Years later, no one recognized its resurrection."

“[Why do people today despise me?]”

"The Skyharp didn't speak."

Tan Ningsu, who doesn't tear easily, began to feel tears in the corners of her eyes due to Wendy's sad piano music.

"Anger and sadness, life and poisonous blood, turned into tears and flowed from the corners of the dragon's eyes..."

Are you referring to the red crystal?

Ying thought with scattered thoughts.

"Poetry is silent, corruption takes effect easily, but the Sky Harp can no longer speak..."

......

Did she guess wrong?

Judging from the information revealed in this poem, Ying cast doubt on his previous guess.

As the performance ended, the gathered crowd began to slowly dissipate.

After Wendy put away the piano, she looked at Tan Ningsu and the other two.

"Ah, it's Susu, are these two your friends?"

Wendy approached Tan Ningsu and asked without any hesitation.

"Mr. Wendy, we have met before."

Ying took a step forward and went straight to the point.

"Oh... Yeah! Wasn't that the one who scared Tevarin away at that time?"

Wendy said with a look of sudden enlightenment.

"Tevalin?"

"Oh, you're talking about the Wind Dragon?"

When Paimon heard Wendy's name, he was a little confused at first, but then he remembered that "Tevarin" was the real name of the "Wind Dragon".

"You call it like that, you must be very familiar with it!"

“Famous Detective” Paimon is online!

"Guess~"

Wendy said in a brisk tone.

"Ying, is he playing a trick on us?"

Paimon said this very disrespectfully.

"Mr. Wendy, we have something to ask you..."

It was Tan Ningsu's turn to take over Paimeng's "important task" and he asked.

"Don't be so polite, just call me 'Wendy'."

"Perhaps, I should introduce myself to my new friends."

Wendy blinked at Tan Ningsu, then looked at Ying and Paimeng.

"I am Wendy the Bard."

"To be precise, he has won the title of 'Mondstadt's Favorite Bard' for three consecutive years!"

......

"Hey, Susu, does Mond really have this kind of weird selection?"

Paimeng asked Tan Ningsu beside him in a low voice with great doubt.

"Well... although it sounds unreliable, the people of Mond are really free..." The implication is that such boring selection really does exist.

Tan Ningsu also answered Paimeng in a low voice.

Do these two really think their voices are so soft?

Ying held his forehead with his hand helplessly.

"So, what exactly did you come to me for?"

Wendy cooperated and pretended that she heard nothing, and responded to Tan Ningsu's previous questions.

"Of course it's about the Wind Dragon!"

Paimon immediately responded.

"Hmm~"

Wendy blinked innocently.
