Chapter 19: The Lady's Past
Now Barbatos brings it up again.
Yue Yang's gaze couldn't help but be a little downcast.
What bothered him...
It's how to handle the relationship with Eula in this life.
The rational choice is naturally the same as Yue Yang's original idea.
In the parallel world, the bits and pieces of encounters with Eula are regarded as dreams.
In this way, Alice's feelings in this life can be taken into account, and she will not be sad because of the separation after the mission is completed.
But after being alone in the same room with Eula just now, Yue Yang's heart was shaken.
It's actually what happened in the parallel world.
The feelings are real.
The reality of husband and wife is also true.
How could he just think of it as a dream?
"You can't help with this!"
"By the way, thank you for your vision."
"What abilities does this Wind Attribute God Vision you gave me have?"
Yue Yang asked curiously.
"This Vision... But my proud work~"
Barbatoston tilted his face.
With a smug look, he explained:
"At present, the abilities of all the God Vision holders of the Wind Element, Yue Yang, you can use them, not only that..."
"After you are completely familiar with the power of the wind element, you can also use the wind element to create various powerful moves on your own~"
"How's that, I'm okay with you~"
Barbatos had a smug look on his face, and the words "ask for praise" were written all over his face.
"Okay, good~My Barbatos is the best~"
Yue Yang smiled helplessly, and then laughed again:
"Since Barbatos is so good to me, then I will also be courteous, give you a reminder~"
"Wake up?" Barbatos was a little confused.
"Hmm... You will be beaten in the near future, but you have to be mentally prepared in advance~"
Yue Yang's smile seemed to have a hint of schadenfreude.
"Huh? Really? Barbatos' face was full of disbelief: "Who in Mondstadt would dare to beat the god of wind?" Don't... The one from Liyue? ”
"Not the rock god." Yue Yang smiled and shook his head.
"Not Morax?"
"And who else would dare to bully the Anemo God in Mondstadt!"
Barbatolston said angrily.
"I don't know... Do you remember... Rosalyn Cruzhika Downfat, the name? ”
Yue Yang tried to remind.
"Hey~ the name... How do I feel a little familiar?! ”
Barbatos wondered:
"Also, why did I feel a little weak when I heard the name?"
"It's right to have a weak heart." Yue Yang smiled and reminded again: "Her current identity is the Fatui Executive Officer, the eighth seat, codenamed [Madam]. ”
"It's also back then... The witch of the flames who tried to burn everything. ”
…
Listen to Yue Yang's words.
Barbatoston remembered the woman.
In the moment of thinking of the lady.
All about the Lady's past in Mondstadt also came to Barbatos' mind.
What used to be Mondstadt Square.
From time to time, a girl in red would stop and sing.
People were fascinated by her beauty and singing.
Whenever a girl appeared, Mondstadt Square was filled with listeners who had come because of her.
Someday.
The girl singing in the square suddenly noticed a figure.
Deputy Head of the Knights of Favonius - [Wolf Cub] Rustan.
The girl discovered.
A sad Rustan heard his own singing, and his sad expression gradually turned calm.
In the days that followed.
Whenever the maiden sang, she always saw the knight.
The girl couldn't help but rewrite the lyrics for him.
The knight also expressed his ideals to the maiden.
The girl listened, and her heart longed.
Over time.
The two fell in love after all.
Afterward...
The girl is going to the Sumeru Akademiya for further study.
The knight silently watched the girl go away.
Mended...
This was the last time the two would see each other.
When calamity befell the land of Mondstadt.
During the ravages of Monddurin, the knights paid with their lives to protect their homeland.
And later...
The girl returned to her hometown.
The girl who lost the person she cherished once again rewrote her lyrics.
After her tears and singing dried up, she became the Witch of Fire.
She burns the flames of anger with her life.
Vow to use this endless karmic fire to cleanse this world of all evil.
Even though people feared her and expelled her, she never regretted it in the slightest.
But...
How long can she, who uses life as fuel, burn?
When the girl's life is about to dry up...
She met the original Fatui.
"If you continue like this, you will burn your life to the full~"
"If you are angry at the inaction of the gods of Mondstadt..."
"Perhaps... We may be able to reach a win-win consensus with you~"
…
The Fatui brought her under the icy throne.
The Empress looked at her with a cold gaze.
"It's a pity that you have also suffered the grievances of this world..."
"Since you can endure my cold..."
"Then please... Burn the world for me! ”
The future that the Empress promised to the Witch.
Let the witch remember again, the good wishes that the knight had imagined with her.
Thereupon.
The witch joined the Fatui and became the Eleventh Executive of the Fatui, the eighth seat, the lady.
……
"Ahh That's terrible..."
Barbatos' expression was distressed.
Because he knows...
This young girl born in Mondstadt hated herself, the god of Mondstadt, who did nothing in the face of the calamity caused by the dragon Durin.
Durin the Dragon...
A dragon created and controlled by an alchemist.
Consciousness was sealed, and a dream of joyful coexistence with Mondstadt was born.
However, his body was controlled against Mondstadt, and he did not regain consciousness until he was dying, and he sincerely blessed Mondstadt.
This...
This is the general origin of this calamity.
Barbatos also felt remorse for this.
Mainly because he was too ...... at the time Carelessness.
Thinking that with the Dongfeng dragon Dvalin out of the horse, he would be able to easily solve the demon dragon Durin.
It was because of his laziness that Mondstadt suffered heavy casualties.
It also caused Dvalin to fall into a deep sleep due to the poisonous blood of the demon dragon Durin, and gradually forgotten by the world.
Now.
The dragon of the east wind, which had been guarding Mondstadt, had become a calamity dragon in the mouths of the people of Mondstadt.
The reason why this girl hated her god so much.
It was precisely because of the inaction of the god herself in this calamity that her husband, Rustan, the deputy head of the Knights of Favonius, died in this calamity.
"That's... So what to do? How do I ... to atone for the sins of that girl..."
Barbatos asked distressedly.
Yue Yang smiled slightly.
In fact.
Barbatos didn't have to take the next beating from the lady.
Because.
In the reincarnation mission of one of his previous lives, he was the Knight of Favonius named "Rustan".
Yue Yang believed that as long as she came forward, the lady should let go of the hatred in her heart and forgive Barbatos.
But...
Yue Yang would never do that!
After all.
Barbatos had to have a reasonable reason for the Heart of God to be taken away.
Only in this way can the plot proceed in the original general direction and let the Ice God's plan continue as usual.
It's just right.
can make Barbatos, the master who doesn't do his job, take a beating and have a long memory.
so that he can stand up for the next disaster in Mondstadt.
For example, this time the dragon plague event.
