My vest is absolutely fine

And it was precisely because of the "clear" view that Kong didn't force Ying to give up everything now, and directly left Kanria and the Tivat continent.

Because Kong knew in her heart that the current Ying would not give up on Kanria, she would only give up on Kanria when she had had enough fun.

Just like when parents want to subtract a child's hobbies, they will always encounter fierce resistance, because for a child who has not experienced too many things and beauty, his hobbies are an indispensable part of his life. His hands and feet.

The behavior of parents asking him to give up his hobbies is tantamount to cutting off his own hands and feet, which is a very terrible thing for a child.

A child's resistance is crying, so what will Ying's resistance be?

Kong didn't have the confidence to be able to suppress Ying like a parent suppressing a child of a few years old. What's more, now that Ying retains her complete strength, she is still in a sealed state. seal up.

It was precisely because he saw through this point that Kong didn't force Ying to leave.

[But it’s not enough now, the problem of the keeper of heaven must be solved, if we can’t figure out what it is, the “fate” she mentioned will not end well! 】

The more he thought about it, the colder the sky was sweating, but in order not to let Ying fall into more panic, Kong still tried his best to control his emotions and did not let the panic show.

Chapter 140: The Wind and Rock of the Reunion

Tewarin carried Kong and Ying back to Mond, while Wendy rode the wind towards Liyue.

At night, Liyue Port still has lights shining. From a high altitude, you can see it clearly. You can see a big and bright wide spot. You can only see the complete Liyue Port after pulling in the distance.

In the backyard of Xiangsheng Hall, Zhong Li was wearing his normal clothes and sitting on a stone chair. On the stone table in front of him was a pot of apple brew from Mond, and Zhong Li had a pot of hot tea in front of him. Holding a steaming teacup in his hand, he savored it carefully.

Accompanied by the light wind, Wendy emerged from the wind and quietly appeared in the yard.

Seeing Zhongli who seemed to have been prepared for a long time, Wendy didn't say much, came to sit down opposite Zhongli, opened the jug on the table, and started drinking directly from the bottle without using any cup.

For this Wendy who suddenly found him in the middle of the night, Zhongli didn't look surprised at all, he just drank the tea in his cup quietly.

Wendy took two sips of the apple brew, felt the taste of the wine flowing in her body, experienced the feeling of dizziness and intoxication in the brain, and let out a long breath.

As a demon god, Wendy will naturally not be drunk by human beings, but the shape he uses now is the shape of his former friend, not his real face, just like Wendy once guided through the sea of ​​ember Like the great adventurer Stanley.

In the world of Tevat, there is a legend called [Ember Silence Sea].

According to legend, the Sea of ​​Ember and Silence is a place full of ashes, without a breath of wind or sound.

Stanley, the famous adventurer in Mond, told many people about his experience in the Ember Sea. At that time, Stanley and a young man arrived at the center of the Emerald Sea, where they were in danger. Stanley escaped by chance, but the young man buried here.

The frightening thing is that because there is no wind in the Sea of ​​Silence, the souls of the young people cannot return to Mond through the guidance of the wind, so they are trapped there forever.

In the eyes of the Mond people, the wind is everything, and the windless place like the Ember Sea is the most terrifying place.

But in fact, Stanley who has been appearing in Mond is not the real Stanley the great adventurer. It was the real Stanley who died protecting the newcomer in the center of the Ember Sea!

And now Stanley, who appeared in Mond, was the newcomer who was protected and escaped by chance.

After the fake Stanley came back, in order not to forget the great Stanley, he pretended to be the real Stanley, told people his adventure stories, and wanted him to live in people's hearts forever.

Over the years, Stanley's story has been deeply engraved in the hearts of Mond's new generation of young people, and Jack is the best example.

From here, we can see what this "Stanley" is most afraid of, forgetting.

Forgetting Stanley, the real Stanley, has become what "Stanley" is most afraid of now, because even "Stanley" himself has gradually forgotten the real Stanley's face after returning from the Ember Sea for so many years and deeds.

He is old and can't do anything anymore, and he can't even remember his former benefactor.

But the soul of the great Stanley is always trapped in that windless place, unable to return to Mond, and will never rest in peace.

This is what "Stanley" fears the most.

Hans Archibald, that's the fake Stanley's name.

At that time, Wendy's identity changed back to Barbatos, the god who mastered the power of wind.

He softly called "Stanley" by his real name, and begged him to give him the soul of his old friend.

When Hans held out his hand, Barbatos became his old friend Stanley: the great adventurer covered in scars.

Wisps of breeze drifted across the windless sea of ​​ember and silence, guiding Stanley's soul back to his homeland.

Stanley gets a big boost from the unraveling of a knot in his heart.

And Wendy's current appearance is actually the same as that of fake Stanley.

600 years ago in the old Mond, which is now the ruins of the wind dragon, the demon king of the tornado, Dekaspian, ruled there.

At that time, Wendy was just a ray of wind that could bring turning point and hope to people, neither human body nor godhead, it met a boy with piercing eyes, and invited it to overthrow the tyrant's rule with him.

With the unremitting efforts of a young man and an elf, the devil was stabbed to death, the high wall of Old Mond collapsed, and the people inside finally ushered in the free world outside, and the young man died.

The current appearance of Wendy is borrowed from the appearance of that young man.

In this form, Wendy can get drunk and experience pain like a mortal.

To put it simply, Barbatos put on a layer of skin called [Wendy] for himself, which has a human touch.

Therefore, in Wendy's state, he can feel the feeling of human beings.

Using alcohol to numb her current body and relieve the fear and anger in her heart, Wendy's tense nerves finally eased down.

Zhongli looked at Wendy silently, his temperament was restrained but extremely heavy.

"The keeper of the law has come down from Sky Island."

With the strength of the wine, Wendy's face was flushed with drunkenness, her eyes were blurred, and she said the news that could shock the Seven Gods, but Zhongli just drank the tea flatly, without any change in the expression on his face.

Unlike the young Wendy who looks cuter than a girl, wearing white silk and pigtails, Zhongli has a thicker temperament, like a rock that has not changed for thousands of years. People have to be calm and very restrained.

Different from Wendy, Zhongli gives people the feeling of combining rigidity and softness, combining square and circle, and the overall feeling is tall and straight, full of heroic spirit, and handsome.

Zhongli is like a cup of good tea with deep meaning, it is worth tasting again and again, the more you taste, the more mellow the taste will be, and gradually you can feel a faint sense of the vicissitudes of history.

And it is precisely because of this feature that Wendy keeps calling Zhongli "Old Man".

In fact, Wendy's name for Zhongli is indeed very suitable. After all, Zhongli is the oldest of all the existing seven rulers of the world, and besides Wendy, the only one of the seven rulers of the world who has not changed positions!

With the experience of controlling Liyue for thousands of years, Zhongli's maturity and ideological stability are not comparable to that of other worldly seven rulers.

You know, before Emperor Yan died in feigned death, he would give guidance and plans for Liyue's future at the annual invitation ceremony, and there had been no problems for thousands of years.

Although Wendy is also in charge of Fengshen who has not changed positions so far, there is no comparison between Wendy who is always asleep and Zhongli who plans Liyue's future every year in terms of hearts and experience!

Chapter 140 IX The Distress and Divinity of the Wind

"Hey, old man, can't you show more expression?"

"That's the keeper of the law of heaven!"

Wendy patted the stone table and loudly vented her dissatisfaction to Zhongli.

And Zhongli just poured himself a new cup of tea slowly, and continued to drink it slowly, like a 80-[-]-year-old old man.

With the experience of traveling with people for thousands of years, Zhongli can see the fear and anger hidden in Wendy's arrogant drunken state at this time.

The world’s seven rulers on the Tivat continent, each god has his own beliefs, the rock king emperor based on the contract, the eternal thunder god Barr, the wisdom-seeking god Sumeru, the firm and righteous water god, and the warlike The god of fire, and the god of ice who once loved.

And Barbatos, the god of wind in the seventh ruling world, his philosophy is [freedom].

Wendy, the incarnation of Barbatos, the god of wind, has been traveling on the continent of Tivat, and conveyed the belief that belongs to Mond-freedom.

What is freedom?

It is unfettered, it is flying freely like a bird, it is wandering aimlessly like a dandelion.

This is the [freedom] recognized by Wendy.

Because Wendy didn't have the violin by her side and was too lazy to carry an ordinary violin around her waist, she conveniently added the ability to transform into a xylophone and felin to the imaginary God's Eye.

Yes, Wendy's God's Eye was made by himself out of glass beads.

However, although this wind god is loose and free, he will unswervingly guide people to resist things that hinder the existence of freedom.

Wendy got the belief of "freedom" from a boy when he was fighting against the tornado demon king Decaspian 600 years ago.

Since then, Barbatos, the god of wind, has lived in the appearance of this boy, practicing his beliefs throughout his life.

This young man was favored by God.

Although Wendy often ignored Mond, but when it really came to a crisis, he would occasionally come out to take care of things.

However, there are only a handful of Wendy's shots recorded by Mond. Even when Wendy guided Mond's great hero, the lion tooth knight Vanessa, to resist Lawrence who practiced slavery in Mond, there were not many times. Everyone knows that Wendy has made a move.

In the understanding of more people, the so-called "Guidance of the Wind God Barbatos" in the epic is actually the same as the "God" in ordinary colloquialism. .

And this attitude is exactly what Wendy hopes the Mond people will maintain.

It is precisely because of this that even though the former guardian of the four winds, Twarin, turned into a wind dragon to attack Mond, Wendy did not do her best, but only guided the travelers to solve the incident.

You know, although Wendy usually behaves like an easy-going alcoholic poet, but he hides everything from everyone, keeps everything silent, and avoids all topics by pretending to be confused and acting.

Conceal the law of heaven at the top, avoid the people at the bottom, and hide everything deeply.

Some people think that Zhongli is a god with a greater sense of responsibility than desire, and that he is too perfect as a god to lack a human side.

Both Wendy and Zhongli's realm are much higher than ordinary people. This may be the essence of the "divinity" of Tivat Continent: there is a huge gap between the height and realm of standing and ordinary people.

But in fact, when it comes to divinity, Zhongli, who seems cold and indifferent, is actually far weaker than Wendy, who is joking and approachable.

Zhongli looks indifferent, because he has experienced too much, so he can do it without changing his face when Mount Tai collapses in front of him.

In fact, when Zhong Li was Morax, the king of rocks, he had friends who cherished but fell into madness, lovers who admired each other but parted with each other, and loyal subordinates who died tragically on the battlefield.

Zhongli is not indifferent, but a mature person who has experienced too much.

Therefore, although Zhong Li looks indifferent and full of divinity, he is also the god who values ​​people the most and is closest to people.

But Wendy is different, as the incarnation of the wind god Barbatos, only one boy who died in the crusade against the Tornado Demon God is really remembered by Wendy.

The meaning of Wendy's birth and existence is all because of this boy.

But for Wendy, the only person worthy of Wendy's attention in this world is that boy, and everyone else is actually equal in Wendy's sight.

If you observe carefully, you can actually find that Wendy's attitude towards travelers and other people in Mond is actually the same. She looks affectionate, but she hides too many secrets, making it hard to figure out.

Although Zhongli looked indifferent, he was more like a serious father and brother, unsmiling, only Wendy, more like a god in a temple.

Zhongli knew very well that this time, the reason why Wendy seemed very anxious and wanted to solve the problem of the keeper of the laws of heaven, but in fact, the reason why Wendy was so anxious was because the actions of the keeper of the laws of heaven violated the 【Freedom】idea.

Anchoring the fate of Tivat Continent, not allowing anyone to change, not allowing any temptation, this is the attitude of the maintainers of heavenly principles.

For Wendy, this is undoubtedly a violation of [Freedom], and it is the complete opposite of [Freedom].

If the keeper of the law only intends to anchor the fate of the traveler alone, Wendy is willing to provide some help, but not too deep.

But in fact, according to the information Wendy got, there are too many destinies planned to be anchored by the maintainers of the laws of heaven. In the entire Tivat continent, the fates of those important people related to travelers are not allowed to be changed by anyone.

In fact, after waking up, Wendy used the power of Fengshen to go to the other seven countries, but he found that except for Mengde, Liyue and Daoqi, the four countries such as Sumeru could not enter by themselves, as if there were A gigantic Iron Curtain divides the world.

Although Wendy can hear the voices of the other four countries, he can't make any changes and influences.

It was okay when I didn't get in touch with travelers before, but after getting in touch with them, Wendy discovered that so many people's fates have been fixed.

Although some small aspects can be changed, the mainstream does not allow any wavering.

Wendy tried to bring the traveler from Mond to Liyue and cooperated with Zhongli before, but she was stopped by the maintainer of Tianli just halfway through the flight.

You must know that the current traveler is far less threatening than the Ice God who holds the hearts of the three gods who govern the world, and he is still on his way. Before he had time to cooperate, he was blocked by the maintainers On the way, I had to go back to Mond in despair.

It was precisely because of testing out the attitude of the maintainer of the laws of heaven that Wendy was so worried and fell into a temporary confusion.

Zhongli looked at the drunken Wendy, his golden-brown diamond-shaped eyes were calm, he just drank tea as usual, looked at the trees in the courtyard, calm as a mountain.

Chapter 150 Memories of Morax

For the whole night, Zhongli didn't say a word, but kept adding more wine for Wendy, and Wendy also saw something from Zhongli's silent attitude.

Anyone who changes people, Wendy will feel that the other party wants to avoid, but only Zhongli, Wendy knows very well that he loves the people of the land under his feet deeply, and the maintainer of heaven wants to fix everyone's fate, even if Already retired, Zhongli would never agree!

Zhong Li looked at Wendy who was drunk and fell asleep on the stone table, added a cup of tea for himself, and continued to drink.

[It seems that Wendy has also discovered something is wrong. However, in terms of general rationality, although it is a bit late, but with Wendy's character, it is already a rare speed to find and find me. 】

Zhongli didn't intend to speak out what was in his heart. The demon gods on the Tivat continent were basically the incarnation of some concept, like the weak Wendy, he could hear the voice in the wind.

If you don't do something special, even what you say will be heard by Wendy.

If you speak out what you think in your heart, even Zhongli may be overheard.

The young master didn't take it too seriously when releasing the demon god before, because Zhongli had the confidence to solve all problems, but now, even Zhongli can't guarantee that he can maintain victory.
