Chapter 20: A Vision in the Wind
"You're all right, I'm going to see you." Xia Wei said with a sigh of relief when he saw that the two of them were fine.
"We were listening to you today and reciting the "Self-cultivation of Idols", and suddenly there was a big wind outside!" Paimon had an exaggerated look of surprise.
At this point, Ying walked out from behind Paimon, "I've seen Paimon with that flying dragon. ”
Paimon was reminded by Ying's reminder, "That's right, on the day we were bombed, on our way to Mondstadt, we saw the dragon and a bard dressed in green. ”
"The bard in green?" Xia Wei is very curious about this kind of person who is with the dragon, could it be that he instructed this time?
Paimon, who was describing herself, couldn't think of any other adjectives than to say the trait of a green dress, just when she couldn't think of any other words
Her eyes inadvertently saw a green figure, and then she suddenly became excited, "It's exactly like that person!" ”
Xia Wei followed Paimon's finger and saw a bard and two Knights of Favonius, as well as a few injured residents of Mondstadt.
He seemed to be calming the wounded with the sound of his harp, which eased the pained look on the faces of the wounded Mondstadt.
Ying patted Paimon's head lightly, "That person seems to be the one we saw that day!" ”
Hearing Ying's words, Xia Wei walked over without the slightest hesitation, and seeing this, Paimon and Ying also followed.
On the way by, the voice of the poet in green came to their ears...
"My story comes from the primeval times, when the gods were still walking on earth.
It was at that time that the dragon carrying the wind element was born in the high heavens.
It descended slowly, full of curiosity about everything in the world
He landed in the village, but was stoned by the frightened people. The dragon couldn't understand what people were saying in fear.
He landed in the cemetery, and all he heard was the sighs of the grieving people. The dragon could not understand what was being said in the midst of people's grief.
He landed in the orchard, only to be cursed by the angry people who had lost their trees. The dragon couldn't understand what was being said in the anger of the people.
The world is too complicated. The dragon was confused, but the dragon still wanted to try.
Until one day, the dragon heard the sound of the Lyre of the Sky. "Sky" is the name of the lyre, and it is also the companion of the god of wind.
The dragon was drawn to the poem and landed beside the best singer under the sky.
The people began to panic, frightened by the fact that the mighty elemental dragons and the gods who dominated the world had always been difficult to get along
But the singer's piano is so beautiful that it makes people reconcile with the dragon, and gradually people realize that the dragon does not seem to be so scary...
... Since then, the dragon has chosen to stay by the side of the Wind God, becoming the guardian of the four winds, and has been protecting Mondstadt for thousands of years
Until that day the calamity comes... That's another story that takes place in the underground lost kingdom of Kanria.
The Black Sun Dynasty fell, and the disaster broke through the walls of the ancient country and spread across the continent.
The alchemist, known as "gold", fell into sinners and gave birth to a large number of dark monsters. The dragon Durin rises from the sea, and its shadow looms over Mondstadt. But at this time, there was a vacancy in the inheritance of the Liontooth Knights, and the Eagle Banner of the Knights of Favonius could not be raised in the wind.
The people's murmurs eventually brought out the god of Mondstadt, the Windsongr. The Sky Lyre was plucked again, and the Wind Dragon was summoned again.
Now Mondstadt has only the Wind Dragon to rely on. The evil dragon and the wind dragon fought to the death in the storm.
The wind dragon won in the end, and he bit the dragon's throat, but swallowed the poisonous blood. The poisonous blood of the evil dragon is the power of distorted gold to make mountains collapse and the earth to destroy.
The Wind Dragon guarded Mondstadt, thinking that this would be the case that people would understand it. And so it fell into a long sleep.
The sad tune is played, and the Lyre of the Sky tells it that the next time you wake up, you should be free. The dragon, who is supposed to be free to fly high in the sky, will eventually understand your beauty..."
Xia Wei, Ying, and Paimon stood here and listened to the whole story, which was mixed with the beautiful sound of the piano, which made them feel complicated.
Before you know it, there are many people gathered here, all of them wounded people rescued from the rubble by the Knights of Favonius, who have been placed here to wait for the priest of the Church of Favonius to arrive.
Wendy looked at the nuns and priests not far away, he knew that he was no longer needed here, and just as he was about to leave, Xia Wei stopped him.
"Let's talk about the poet." Xia Wei looked at Wendy with deep meaning and said.
Judging from the information copied by the Eye of the Ancient Eye, the guy in front of him is not a human at all. It looks like an aggregate of wind spirits floating in the air everywhere.
What made Xia Wei strange was that the thinking of the guy in front of him seemed to diverge at any time, just like the wind, even if he looked at each other, there was no way to see what he was thinking.
"Is there anything you have to do with me? A guest from Solstice? Wendy looked at Xia Wei with a smile on her face.
For a moment, Xia Wei had the illusion that this guy actually knew my identity.
"My friend said he saw you with the dragon you just had." Xia Wei took a step to the side, which made Venti see Ying and Paimon following him.
"It's you! Disturbed the guy I was with Dvalin. Wendy blamed her, but there was no displeasure on her face.
Paimon smiled awkwardly, then changed the subject, "Hehe... Is Dvalin the name of the dragon? ”
Venti nodded slightly, "Dvalin is the dragon in the story I just told, he has no ill intentions, but his heart has been affected by poisonous blood, and the curse of the abyss mage has made it what it is now
If you hadn't bothered me in the first place, I might have succeeded in removing the curse. ”
Hearing this, Paimon and Ying both had a hint of apology on their faces.
"It's a big deal that we can help you, and this can be regarded as our compensation for you." Paimon said embarrassedly, then she looked at Ying again, "What do you think of Ying?" ”
Ying didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and after asking Ying's opinion, Paimon actually looked at Xia Wei again.
"Will you join us in helping?" Paimon squinted and smiled with his hands behind his back.
"Oh~ You caused your own trouble, do you want me to help you finish it?" Xia Wei was originally going to refuse, but suddenly a voice sounded in his heart.
"Promise to help me, I can give you what that master has always wanted."
Xia turned his head to look at Wendy and found that he was smiling at him.
"What the host wanted... That must be the heart of God... He really knows who I am! ”
The weights of sufficient weight have been taken out, and Xia Wei can only agree.
"I promise you." Xia Wei looked at Paimon and said.
"Huh? I was just kidding! I didn't expect you to really agree! You're a good guy! I'm going to give you a nice nickname! You are called Xia Haoren! Paimon said with a smile.
