High up in Mondstadt is the seat of the Church of the Aeolus.

Although Mondstadt's affairs, big and small, are now handled by the Knights,

But the status of the Aeolus Church was not only not affected, but became more and more exalted.

The glory of Barbatos, the god of wind, still shines on this place,

And before Mondstadt Cathedral is the Aeolus Square,

The statue of the god of wind standing here is the work of the old aristocracy,

But after the wind of resistance blew, Vanessa did not overthrow him.

It is the old aristocracy that is at fault, not the god of the wind.

As a result, the Aeolian statue has survived to this day, and under the care of the church, it remains one of the most magnificent scenery in Mondstadt.

Of course, some people who have been to the desert and come back always say that there is a bigger statue in the desert than the Aeolone, and the people of Mondstadt don't like this, but they don't care either.

Because freedom and happiness are the themes of Mondstadt.

In front of the statue of the god of wind,

The bard plucked the strings and sang the story of love and wind flowers, and many tourists listened to it.

Wang Daoyi listened to the poetry and sang with everyone, and was a little disappointed while appreciating it.

Although the other party's performance is very good, he can be regarded as a performance artist,

But it's just an ordinary bard, not a little boy with white silk.

on the edge,

Yun Jin's eyes are full of brilliance, although the gap between opera and poetry is a little big, but the things contained in art are the same.

For the story of love and wind flowers, Yun Jin can completely understand and feel, so the girl gave a warm applause.

Although Xin Yan can also hear the beautiful stories in the poems, she is really not very interested in this kind of love story.

However, when the performance ended, she still gave the same applause as Yun Jin.

"Don't you like poetry like that?"

A wisp of breeze surrounded Xin Yan's ears, and she seemed to hear someone talking in her ear,

"Huh?" Xin Yan turned his head to look at it suspiciously, and finally looked at Yun Jin beside him, "Did you hear someone talking just now?" ”

Yun Jin looked dazed: "What? ”

Xin Yan frowned, she didn't think she was hallucinating, someone was talking in her ear just now,

"Just now, I heard someone talking to me, but I couldn't find anyone."

"Huh?" Everyone was attracted by Xin Yan, and then Xiangling looked at Wang Daoyi, "Did Brother Daoyi hear it?" ”

If someone is really talking to Xin Yan, it must be impossible to hide from Wang Daoyi, who is close at hand.

Wang Dao nodded: "Yes." ”

With a smile on his face, he glanced at the huge statue of the Wind God in front of him.

Then he looked at Xin Yan: "This is Mondstadt, the land of poetry and wind, the wind will bring the seeds of stories, Xin Yan, this is the wind talking to you." ”

"The wind is talking to me?" Xin Yan was stunned for a moment, and then an excited look appeared on his face,

Is there anything more appealing to an artist than something like this legendary?

"So what do I do?" Xin Yan looked at Wang Daoyi excitedly.

"Listen to the sound of the wind and make your own choices, in the legends, it's like this." Although he didn't know what Wendy wanted to do, Wang Daoyi still cooperated with him.

"Listen?" As a rock singer, Xin Yan understands the meaning of listening to these two words better than many people.

She slowly closed her eyes and listened to the wind around her.

"Don't you like poetry like that?" A soft voice appeared in Xin Yan's ears again.

"No, I just have music that I like better." Xin Yan replied inwardly.

The breeze surrounded her, as if rejoicing in her answer,

She doesn't have music she doesn't like, she just has music she likes more.

"And what do you like?" The breeze brings new problems.

"Rock 'n' roll, I love rock 'n' roll, I like rebellious singing, I love passionate life, I love what I love."

Xin Yan did not hesitate at all, and gave the answer in his heart.

The breeze is flowing, and it seems to be getting happier and happier,

"Rebellion and enthusiasm are familiar words, so would you like to bring a song of rebellion to the people of Mondstadt?"

"Of course, that's what I'm here for."

"Go, then, girl, and the wind will bless you."

In front of the statue of the god of wind, wisps of wind suddenly rose, as if cheering, as if greeting, and as if waiting.

Xin Yan opened his eyes, and what he saw was the colorful flag blowing slowly in front of the statue of the god of wind.

She clearly felt that those breezes were blowing the colorful flags, which was cheering her on.

"Daoyi, can I go over and perform?" Holding the passion in his heart, Xin Yan looked at Wang Daoyi.

She had never been to Mondstadt, but her upbringing had taught her that it was best not to break other people's rules in whatever she wanted to do on someone else's territory.

Resistance is a struggle against injustice, not against order.

"Of course, the wind is inviting you, and the people of Mondstadt will not resist the wind's choice."

Wang Daoyi's words made Xin Yan's eyes burn with fire,

Reaching out to wipe it around her waist, a red and black guitar appeared in her hand,

Taking a small step forward, the breeze suddenly flowed and began to surround her.

Girl surrounded by the wind,

Many residents and tourists of Mondstadt were attracted to the attention.

As the king said, the people of Mondstadt would not reject the wind's choice.

Xin Yan's performance had not yet begun, and some people had already offered scattered applause of encouragement.

Under the statue of the god of wind,

The bard, who had put away the xylophone, looked at Xin Yan with a smile in his eyes.

"Fontaine's guitar, are you going to perform rock 'n' roll?"

Xin Yan was a little surprised, she didn't expect that someone had already guessed her performance before she started playing.

"Surprised? Haha, although bards originated in Mondstadt, poets are like the wind, we don't just stay in Mondstadt, I've been to Fontaine and learned about this art. As he spoke, the bard showed a hint of embard, "I have tried to learn, but unfortunately, my voice does not support my roar." ”

Then without waiting for Xin Yan to speak, the bard said: "Since it's a performance, then let me give you a curtain call, what is your type of performance, praise?" Revolt? Or fanaticism? ”

"Resist, I sing for rebellion." Xin Yan immediately said.

The Bard nodded, then walked up to the audience and said, "Sons of Mondstadt, and friends who have come and gone, let this girl bring us a new performance, a rock 'n' roll performance, a song of resistance!" ”

"Oooo

The introduction of the bard put everyone's eyes on the girl in front of the statue,

Free Mondstadt can accommodate all beings, even if it may be the first time they have heard the word rock, but the audience still applauds and cheers generously.

Xin Yan listened to the applause and cheers in his ears, and the enthusiasm in his heart gradually surged.

As a performer, she has never been shy, and the applause and cheers only make her enthusiastic.

However, in the crowd of onlookers, Xiangling and Yun Jin looked at Xin Yan with some worry, afraid that Xin Yan would make a mistake.

With the cheers of the audience and the blowing of the wind,

Xin Yan plucked the strings,

The very different sounds of the guitar and the xylophone sounded under the statue of the wind god, which quickly attracted the attention of the audience.

The applause and cheers became smaller, and everyone began to listen to Xin Yan's singing.

As a country of poetry, they came into contact with the existence of rock and roll for the first time, and for a while they couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

But as a people of the god of wind, as worshippers of Vanessa, as descendants of the ancestors who overthrew tyranny,

They listened to Xin Yan's increasingly high-pitched singing, and felt the emotion of breaking through the shackles and rebelling against injustice.

Compared with the poems that praise Lord Vanessa, this form called rock and roll brings a stronger, more direct, and more passionate sense of emotional impact.

meanwhile

On the cloister of Fengshen Square,

An old-fashioned but spirited old man looked at Xin Yan under the statue of the god of wind, his eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Father, let's go back, it's all untouchables here." A middle-aged man stood beside the old man and spoke comfortingly.

The old man shook his head slightly: "Did you hear something?" ”

The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly, as a member of the old aristocracy, he could naturally hear the emotion and will in Xin Yan's singing.

The old aristocracy of Mondstadt, you could call them old-fashioned, you could call them tyrannical, but there is one thing that cannot be denied, and that is that their artistic aesthetic is online.

"You hear it, the song of resistance, heh, do you have any ideas?"

The old man looked at the middle-aged man with a calm face.

The middle-aged man's expression was slightly hideous: "Untouchables, untouchables, they are all untouchables." ”

In the eyes of middle-aged people, singing a song of resistance under the statue of the god of wind is not singing the praises of Vanessa,

Singing the praises of Vanessa is not just scolding their family.

A trace of disappointment flashed in the old man's eyes, and the family's education was getting worse and worse.

After losing authority, the resources that the family can mobilize plummeted, and with the change of time, the descendants of the family are obsessed with reviving the glory, but their own abilities and qualities cannot carry the banner of the family.

"Let's go, let's go, go home." The old man leaned on his cane, turned and left,

The middle-aged man immediately followed.

On the other side, Wang Daoyi retracted his gaze, looked at Xin Yan who finished the performance, and gave warm applause with the people around him.

Resistance and passion,

These two words are so suitable for Mondstadt, and Xin Yan's first performance in Mondstadt was the perfect curtain call.

"Bang bang."

The bard on the side applauded, and then walked up to Xin Yan,

"Wonderful, really wonderful, your performance reminds me of my time at Fontaine, those." The bard was slightly stunned for a moment, then showed a wry smile and shook his head slightly, "I'm sorry, I remembered something unhappy." ”

Then he adjusted his mood and looked at Xin Yan excitedly, "Have you ever learned about Mondstadt's legendary Venissa-sama?" ”

Hear the bard's question,

Xin Yan nodded slightly: "I used to talk with friends, but I didn't know each other very well. ”

Once, when Wang Daoyi was listening to Xin Yan's performance, he talked about Vanessa's story with Xin Yan, and both of them liked Vanessa very much. (Chapter 206)

"You know that's great, as the liberator of Mondstadt, Lord Vanessa has a high reputation in Mondstadt, but our poetry in praise of Lord Vanessa has not been updated for a long time."

As he spoke, the bard was a little embarrassed, his face flushed slightly, with a hint of shyness: "I would like to ask you to compose a rock song about Lord Vanessa, perhaps, it will bring us new inspiration." ”

Art is all interconnected, and although this saying is not recognized by everyone, it does have some truth.

After hearing Xin Yan's song of rebellion, the bard had the idea of touching the other.

"Write a rock song for Vanessa?" Xin Yan was a little moved, but hesitated for a while and looked at his friends.

Yun Jin took a step closer: "I went out to be happy, if you want, don't care about us." ”

As Xin Yan's good friend, Yun Jin saw Xin Yan's entanglement at a glance.

She wants to compose a legendary rock song of Vanessa, but she is afraid of neglecting her friends.

After all, everyone came to play together, and it didn't seem good for her to leave the team halfway to write songs.

But Yun Jin broke Xin Yan's scruples, artistic creation does not need so many concerns, and creating when you have an idea is the best state of an artist.

Xiangling also nodded: "Well, going out to travel is to improve your dreams, if you have an idea, then don't worry about us, just do it." ”

Xiangling remembered that when she first came to Mondstadt, she had been accompanied by Wang Daoyi, and she was often separated from Wang Daoyi, Wang Daoyi went to the Mondstadt Library to study, and she went to the Cattail Tavern to find Diona.

Therefore, if Xin Yan finds a target and breaks away from the team, Xiangling will definitely support it.

Feeling everyone's support and tolerance for her, Xin Yan nodded very heavily: "Thank you." ”

"Don't be so polite, we are also looking forward to Xin Yan's performance after creation." Xiangling said with a smile.

Xin Yan nodded vigorously again: "I won't let you down, when the creation is completed, I will perform here again." ”

Amidst everyone's laughter and blessings, Xin Yan turned to look at the bard: "Hello, I have agreed with my companions, I can help write a rock song about the legend of Vanessa." ”

The Bard rejoiced: "Okay, my companions have been consulting at the Mondstadt Library lately, are you free now?" ”

"If you're free, then I'll go with you."

Xin Yan left with the bard,

Leaving Wang Dao, one or three people looked at each other.

After a while, Wang Dao smiled and said, "Xiangling, why don't you take Yun Jin to find Diona, I'll go to Wendy and ask about something." ”

Xiangling nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, then we'll see you in the evening." ”

Xiangling knew Wendy, and she was already familiar with it when they fought against the Wind Demon Dragon together.

Hearing that Wang Daoyi was going to find Wendy, Xiangling naturally didn't ask anything more.

Let go of Wang Daoyi's arm and take Yun Jin's hand: "Let's go, Yun Jin, I'll take you to my friend, she is very good at making drinks." ”

With that, he left with Yun Jin.

Left Wang Daoyi standing alone in the square,

After pausing for a while, Wang Daoyi turned around and left.

Outside Mondstadt,

On an apple tree,

The little boy sat on a branch, dangling his feet and carrying a bottle of cider in his hand.

"You want to forgive Lawrence?"

Wang Daoyi's figure emerged under the tree.

Wendy seemed to have known that the royal road was coming, and with a slight force, she jumped down from the apple tree: "Angel gift treasured cider, do you want to have some?" ”

"Did you pay?" Wang Dao glanced at the cider in Wendy's hand.

Wendy's little face flushed: "Of course I paid, I sang at Angel Gift for several nights." ”

"You'd better have paid." Wang Daoyi didn't take Wendy's cider, but took out two bottles of sand coconut wine from the dust song pot and threw one bottle to Wendy.

Wendy was also polite, put away her cider, and caught the sand coconut wine thrown by Wang Daoyi.

"The sand coconut wine in the desert is really good." Wendy took a sip and sighed in praise.

"If you like, I can have someone send you a batch." Wang Daoyi said magnificently.

If you can buy the god of wind with wine, then Wang Daoyi will definitely not skimp on some drinks.

Of course, Wendy shook her head slightly,

If the emperor said to send wine, then Wendy would not hesitate to agree, because the relationship between them would not change because of some wine.

But now that Wang Daoyi wants to send wine, or send someone from the desert, Wendy will not accept this kind of 'gift' easily.

"Okay, let's get down to business, do you want to forgive Lawrence?"

As soon as Xin Yan arrived in front of the statue of the wind god, he heard the call of the wind, if this had nothing to do with Wendy, then Wang Daoyi didn't believe it.

And Xin Yan is now beginning to compose a rock 'n' roll about the legend of Vanessa, and in Wang Daoyi's opinion, it is Wendy who is guiding something.

If it were an ordinary person, they might think that Wendy was guiding Xin Yan to sing the praises of Vanessa's spirit of resistance,

By the way, the Lawrence family will be stepped on one more foot.

But Wang Daoyi doesn't think so, the reason is simple, Wendy doesn't need to step on Lawrence.

To the God of Wind, Lawrence was also his people.

Whether it is the ordinary people of Mondstadt or Lawrence, who is called a sinner, to Wendy, they are all his people and the objects of his protection.

Therefore, Wang Daoyi guessed that what Wendy wanted to guide Xin Yan to do was not to step on Lawrence, but to give Lawrence a chance to be forgiven.

Of course, what the specific situation is, Wang Daoyi is still not clear.

He took a sip of coconut wine, and the clear and sweet taste made Wendy smile.

"Do you think Lawrence is guilty?"

Wendy asked, knowing that Wang Daoyi must have understood what Lawrence had done in Mondstadt, and he wanted to hear what Wang Daoyi had to say.

"It doesn't make sense to ask me this question, Barbatos, as long as the people of Mondstadt still think Lawrence is a sinner, then they are sinners."

Wang Daoyi said calmly.

When the voices come together, whether it's right or wrong, it doesn't make sense, and the crowd breaks through everything.

"Just like Eula's change, everyone knows she's doing good, but there are still people in Mondstadt who hate her and even maliciously suspect that this is Lawrence's plot to subvert the Knights."

"It doesn't matter if Lawrence is a sinner or not, what matters is whether the people of Mondstadt are willing to forgive Lawrence, and whether Lawrence is willing to be forgiven."

Wendy was silent for a moment, then chuckled and drank the wine in her hand.

"You're right, let's see, give Lawrence a chance and see if they're willing to make some changes."

After speaking, he threw away the wine bottle in his hand, and the breeze blew, and the wine bottle turned into fly ash.

"Would you like to go and see it together?"

The god of wind sends out an invitation.
