Chapter XXIX, The Library

Under the "rule" of the god of wind, Mondstadt is a theocratic state.

The Knights of Favonius govern all of Mondstadt, and the Church of Favonius is the place of faith for all of Mondstadt.

While it is rare for a Fish King to directly govern Mondstadt, the citizens of Mondstadt still have faith in the Wind God.

(Except for a nun, perhaps.) )

It's been almost three days since they arrived in Mondstadt, and in the past three days, Wang Daoyi and Xiangling have visited the entire Mondstadt City, but unfortunately, perhaps due to the impact of the dragon plague, Mondstadt is not lively, except for the taverns at night, few people gather outside.

And in the past three days, I haven't encountered a few screens.

Every time I see her and Paimon, they look like they're in a hurry, as if they're on an important mission.

Recently, the direction of the wind in Mondstadt has become more and more wrong, even if it is not the eye of the wind elemental, Wang Daoyi can sense that the wind element flowing in the air is becoming more and more violent, and there is a faint anger spreading, and deeper, there is endless sadness.

[Stormterror is getting more and more furious, and its grief is being consumed by anger!] 】

Wang Daoyi shook his head, shaking the thought of saving Dvalin out of his mind.

This is Ying's work, it is the scenery that belongs to her journey, and she doesn't need Wang Daoyi to help, Wang Daoyi has his own scenery.

Savoring the "Legend of Vanessa" in his hand, Wang Daoyi turned his head to look at the purple phantom walking behind.

"With so much of Mondstadt, does Miss Lisa still have time to stay in the library?"

It was Lisa.

Apparently a powerful vision-wielder, Miss Lisa always looks lazy.

"It's not time to go out today!"

Miss Lisa smiled and sat down across from Wang Dao, "Besides, I'm the caretaker of the library, and someone is reading books in the library, so how can I not be there as the caretaker." ”

Wang Daoyi closed the book: "However, Miss Lisa said the same thing yesterday, and used me as an excuse to refuse the mission request of the head of the qin. ”

"Jean is a serious and competent leader, although I also want to help her, but the recent wind has become more and more sad, now going out, but it will hurt the lady's skin!"

Lisa explained with a smile, but no matter how she looked at it, she had a sense of teasing, "Besides, Your Excellency the Honorary Knight also helped Jean, and without me, they can still get things done." ”

With that, Lisa glanced at Wang Dao one by one.

"But you, little brother, you who came all the way from Liyue and come to my library every day to read, can't the wine and beauty of Mondstadt attract you?"

"No, I'd like to try Mondstadt's wine, but unfortunately, the angel's gift, Master Diluc, said that I was still underage and would not allow Mr. Charles to sell me wine."

After a pause, Wang Daoyi reopened the book in his hand and began to read, and continued with two hearts: "And the little cat lady in the cat's tail tavern, as soon as she heard that I wanted to drink, looked at me with fierce eyes!" It's really unbearable to keep drinking. ”

Yes, Wang Daoyi is sixteen years old this year, and he has not yet reached the legal drinking age in Mondstadt, so if he drinks at home, he will definitely be fine, but if he goes to the tavern, people will not sell it to him.

And went to the cattail tavern, looking at Diona's fierce and cute expression, Wang Daoyi finally couldn't bear to order a glass of wine.

It's Xiangling, who was shocked to see Diona bartending with strange things, and often went to observe Diona bartending these days, and is now a part-time cook at the Cattail Tavern.

Hearing Wang Daoyi's words, Lisa's eyes lit up: "Oh, it turns out that the little brother is not yet an adult, and it turns out that he is also a little cutie!" ”

"Cute or something, Miss Lisa should call Ying!"

Flipping through the "Legend of Vanessa" in his hand, Wang Daoyi politely rejected Lisa's nickname.

Glancing at the book in Wang Dao's hand, Lisa easily recognized the legend that almost everyone in Mondstadt had read.

"Is the little brother also interested in the story of Lord Vanessa?"

"Of course, her story is interesting!" Wang Daoyi raised his head and looked at Lisa, "I like her spirit very much!" In her, I can see the same spirit as Liyue's ancestors. ”

Lisa was a little interested, with a curious expression; "Oh, does anyone in Liyue yearn for freedom?"

Wang Daoyi shook his head, the spirit of what he said was not this.

"It's not freedom, as the book says, freedom is not a gift--- struggle is."

"What I like is the spirit of resistance that I see in the stories of Vanessa's predecessors."

"As a slave driven by the aristocracy, in the stormy cage, even with heavy shackles, she never gave up!"

"This kind of spirit is what I like and admire, and freedom is just the reward she deserves, that is not her spirit!"

Lisa nodded thoughtfully, then looked curiously at the teenager who continued to read.

"Do you have the spirit of Lord Vanessa?"

Lisa's sudden question made Wang Daoyi a little overwhelmed.

He reads stories and thinks about problems, but he never thinks about whether he can have such a spirit.

Thinking that Morax would soon fake his death and that the Vortex Demon God Osir would be released by Tartaglia, should I stop Othello from attacking Liyue Harbor?

Looking at the suddenly stunned teenager, Lisa didn't bother, she also took a book and flipped through it casually.

Long.

Wang Dao came back to his senses and answered the question just now.

"I can't be sure if I can be a hero like Vanessa's predecessors, but if someone wants to destroy everything I cherish, then I should also resist, after all, resistance is never alone!"

Wang Daoyi thought a lot, if Osir attacked Liyue Harbor, even if he couldn't resist Othello, it should be no problem to protect those who were familiar with him.

After all, the Emperor is not really dead, and if things happen to the point where they can't resist and the people of Liyue can't defend themselves, then the Emperor's Rock Spear can still teach Othello how to make a good seafood.

If you think about it, the people of Liyue are really happy, and they are guaranteed.

Hearing Wang Daoyi's answer, Lisa didn't say anything, just nodded simply.

Seeing that Lisa didn't continue to speak, Wang Daoyi was also happy to clear up, and turned his attention back to the book in his hand.

The two of them looked at each other in silence.

Time passed, perhaps because the people of Mondstadt really rarely read books, or because the dragon plague made it impossible for people to study with peace of mind.

The whole afternoon passed, and no third person came to the library.

As the sun set outside the window, Wang Daoyi closed the book in his hand.

"It's getting late, Miss Lisa, I'll take my leave."

Putting the books back in their place, Wang Daoyi was ready to leave.

"Slow down, little brother, tomorrow there will be an event in the Knights, and the library will not be open!"

Lisa still looks lazy, and her slow pace of speech always gives people a sense of charm.
