Chapter 293: The Forgotten Hero
Rosalyn's movements are fast.
When Lin Feng had just arrived home, she had already followed when she put the breakfast she had bought on the table.
βοΌβ
"Would you like to have something together?"
When he saw her at first glance, Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out such a sentence.
As soon as this sentence is spoken.
The people in the room also looked at him with strange eyes.
Except for Collei and Sora, everyone here knows Rosalyn.
Including Zhongli, who is far away in Liyue.
"Scarramsay?"
And Rosalyn also had a question mark when she entered the door.
When did this Lin Feng have so many people in his family?
Don't say anything else.
Just that Scarramsey, who longed to look at people with his nostrils all day long, could he sit there quietly eating fried meats and salads?
Wendy knew a bard who liked to sing old-fashioned songs, and had recently become famous in Mondstadt, having hung out with that Lin Feng before.
As for the remaining three
Rosalyn didn't recognize it.
But it doesn't matter if you recognize someone or not, Rosalyn's main goal is to find Lin Feng
"I have something to ask you."
"Let's just say that there are no outsiders here." Lin Feng picked up a piece of fisherman's toast and said while eating.
β.β Rosalyn frowned slightly, "I don't want others to hear about it. β
"It's okay, this Mr. Zhongli is well-informed, if you want to ask you a question, maybe he can find a way."
As he spoke, Lin Feng raised his chin towards Zhongli's position.
Glancing at Zhongli, who had no power fluctuations on her body, Rosalyn's brow furrowed even deeper.
Just now at the Deer Hunter Tavern, Lin Feng easily suppressed the power of the evil eye on her body with just a slight contact, causing the flame that almost burned herself back then to revive again.
You must know that this kind of flame, which burned everything, was only suppressed by the evil eye given by the Ice Empress herself.
Even if she wanted to free the flames now, she would have to remove the divine power from the evil eye first.
How did Lin Feng do it?
Even if he is a dependant of the Empress, all the executive officers know that Lin Feng is not a real dependent, but just a servant of Her Majesty the Empress.
How can a servant suppress the power of his master?
Just when Rosalyn hesitated, Lin Feng said casually: "Your body has long been polluted by the resentment of the demon god, that's why you are so extremely irritable, didn't you notice that after I ordered you in the morning, your emotions have calmed down a lot?" β
β.β
Hearing this, Rosalyn was speechless for a moment.
Because what Lin Feng said was right.
After the white flower on her chest was burned, her thoughts were indeed much clearer, and she was not as irritable as before, otherwise she would not have such a good temper to talk to Lin Feng now.
"Why don't you really come and sit?"
"Actually, if you don't always have nothing to do, the two of us still have a lot to talk about."
"For example."
"The legend of the young wolf Rustan."
When Lin Feng spoke, Sora and Collei were still looking at Rosalyn, Eula was looking at Lin Feng, secretly guessing in her heart that it was just to buy breakfast, how could he talk to Rosalyn, as for the other three, they ate Zhengxiang, especially Wendy, who was like she had been hungry for several days, gobbling it up.
As for Rosalyn.
After hearing the words 'The Legend of the Young Wolf Rustan', my eyelids jumped, and the expression on my face kept changing.
Who is Rustan the young wolf?
She was Rosalyn's lover five hundred years ago, and the only person Rosalyn remembered after she fell into madness.
Her hatred for Mondstadt and her insane revenge are precisely because of Rustan's innocent sacrifice in the midst of the darkness.
Come to think of it.
Rosalind stepped forward with a solemn face, pulled out a chair and sat down.
No one was next to each other.
It's like sitting alone in the distance of interrogating a prisoner.
Merely.
No matter how you look at it, she is more like a prisoner, and Lin Feng is the judge.
"Say."
Seeing this, Lin Feng raised his chin at Wendy.
"Huh?"
"What do you want me to say?"
Wendy looked up and asked with a blank expression.
This innocent look.
If Lin Feng didn't know his character, I'm afraid he would have been deceived by him.
"No one knows Rustein better than you do!"
Lin Feng shook off angrily.
Rosalyn's pupils suddenly constricted, staring at Wendy, who was wiping her hands with a handkerchief.
"Ahh
"He's just an ordinary bard, how can he know things so long."
Wendy, who is the focus, is still there pretending to be stupid at the moment.
"Eula, calculate how much Wendy stole from us in a moment, and then make a bill for the wine money, and let this ordinary lock-picking poet pay it back."
Lin Feng squinted at Wendy and said, "If he doesn't pay back, I'll let everyone in Mondstadt know that there is a bard who likes to drink and don't give money, and I see who dares to sell him wine." β
"Okay, okay."
Eula covered her mouth and smiled.
No one sells him alcohol, and for Wendy, it's worse than killing him.
Lin Feng's words can be regarded as a real weakness blow.
Really.
After Lin Feng said that no one sold him wine, Wendy's expression on his hippie smile just now suddenly became serious, and he coughed lightly: "Since you have already said so, then as your friend, I am naturally duty-bound." β
As he spoke, he picked up his harp, and with a flick of his hand, the melody reverberated back and forth in the room.
Wendy's way of telling Rustein's story is simple.
It's poetry.
I don't know if it's a piece he made up a long time ago, or if it's a piece that he made up specifically for Rosalyn.
But anyway.
As the omniscient god of a thousand winds.
He couldn't hide everything from Mondstadt, including Rustan.
Wendy's voice is very beautiful, and the songs she sings quickly make people sink into it.
In his songs.
It is about a gifted teenager who is hardworking, hardworking, loyal, and adheres to the rules of chivalry.
The boy's name was Rustein.
During his childhood, a teenager named Alan Derin grew up with him.
The two share the same dream.
That is to be a hero of Mondstadt.
They practiced swords together, sang together, grew up together, sparred together, killed enemies in the field together, and joined the Knights of Favonius together.
The two of them, one became the glorious Lion of Light, the uncrowned king who ruled over a group of knights, and the other was given the title of wolf, secretly assisting his best friend.
Hear here.
Rosalyn said in a daze, "Grand Master Elendrin." β
Her self-talk didn't interrupt Wendy.
Next.
Wendy's song tells of the often melancholy knight who meets a beautiful maiden among the flowers and fountains of the Aeolus Square.
It was a girl who loved to sing.
In that beautiful singing, the sorrow in Rustin's heart will be gone.
Only this girl's singing voice can make him temporarily forget the heavy responsibility of duty.
This kind of beauty lasted until the day when the girl was going to go to a distant place to study.
Before parting.
Rustan gave her a timepiece.
He didn't say anything, just watched tenderly as the girl walked away with the timepiece in hand.
When Wendy sings here.
There was a soft sobbing sound in the room.
The people followed the prestige.
I saw Rosalyn sitting on a wooden chair, holding a timepiece that had become mottled by the passage of time, and tears had already crept down her face.
She was the girl back then.
Everyone instantly understood in their hearts, even a child like Collei understood that the good-looking poet was singing the story of the woman in front of him.
The other side.
Wendy's singing suddenly became rapid, and people couldn't help but clench their fists nervously when they listened to it, as if the scene of blood and fire was reproduced in front of them.
"When darkness comes, the poisonous dragon enters the world."
"The young wolf king bravely raised his long sword and used everything to protect his beautiful home."
In the rush of singing.
The image of a knight dressed in armor and holding a sword suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Even if it's Zhongli.
It also seems that he saw Rustan constantly rushing and killing among the dark monsters, challenging the god-like poisonous dragon with his mortal body.
Ultimately.
The brave knight fell in the uninhabited valley, shedding his last drop of blood for this beautiful land.
On his deathbed.
He looked into the distance.
It wasn't the direction of Mondstadt, it was the direction of Sumeru.
A small murmur rang in everyone's ears.
"Now that she is studying far away, she should be safe and sound, I really want to listen to her songs again."
"At least Alan and Roland are safe, with them, and by the time she returns, the calamity should have subsided."
"Ah, alas, I haven't had time to ask her name yet."
The song came to an abrupt end.
And Rosalyn, who was already in tears, slipped off the chair, knelt on the ground, gently kissed the timepiece in her arms, and muttered incessantly: "My name is Rosaline, my name is Rosaline, my name is Rosalineβ"
The original sobbed softly.
After hearing again about Rustein's heroic life and his regrettable last words, Rosalyn could no longer control the sadness in her heart, and went from sobbing to crying, hugging the timepiece that Rustein had given her, and ignoring the many strangers here, she just let the tears run down her cheeks and tick on the floor.
At this time, she is no longer Solstice's executive lady, Rosalyn.
It's a five-hundred-year-old girl who has lost her beloved, Rosalyn.
It's been a long time.
Rosalyn finally came out of her grief, she held the timepiece, looked at Wendy, and said in a cold voice: "I've been looking for so long, but I didn't expect you to be by my side. β
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.
Rosalyn used you, not you, or other, more disrespectful pronouns.
It seems that pulling out the demon god's resentment is still very useful for her.
"Aeolusama???"
Hearing this, Sora and Collei both opened their mouths wide enough to fit an egg.
This bard who laughs with himself all day long, tricks Collei into drinking some wine when he has nothing to do, or goes to sing on the street.
He.
Is he the god of wind in Mondstadt?
Is there such a miserable god in this world??
Life is not easy, Fengshen sells his art???
This time, Wendy did not deny it, put down the harp seriously, and said with a rare seriousness: "I'm sorry for what happened back then, I'm really sorry, when I rushed back, Rustan had already died." β
"I know."
Rosalyn nodded slightly, closed her eyes and sighed, "Actually, I know all this, I know that you didn't come back at that time, and I know that he is willing to die for Mondstadt." β
"However, he shouldn't die like this, he wants to be a hero, but after he dies, he doesn't have the treatment of a hero."
"Even-"
Rosalyn gritted her teeth and said, "Even the people of Mondstadt have forgotten Rustan's name, and even the swordsmanship he created is often named after Elendrin. β
As soon as this sentence came out, Wendy and Lin Feng's faces changed.
Could it be that there was still something strange about what happened back then?
The reason why Rosalyn went crazy was not actually Rustein's death?
Wendy and Lin Feng glanced at each other, and they both saw incredible emotions in each other's eyes.
Wendy is the god of a thousand winds, and he has a thousand winds as his ears and eyes, how can he not know something?
Zhongli was also interested when he heard this, and put down the teacup in his hand and looked in the direction of Rosalyn, this ancient demon god who had lived for six thousand years still had a strong interest in these secrets.
Suddenly, all eyes in the room focused on herself, and Rosalyn exhaled lightly and said: "After knowing the news of Rustin's death, in order to fulfill his will, I gave up on myself, let the fire consume me, and also wiped out all the dark monsters in this world for him. β
"If the abyss is not removed, my heart will be uneasy for a day."
"So when I met Piero, I agreed to his request without hesitation, and I only wanted to wash away all the dark dirt of this world, and all those guilty men and beasts, with my flame and ice!"
"For this reason, I have fought on the front line of the abyss, and I have also purified those filthy monsters with fire."
"Until I return to Mondstadt on the Queen's mission."
"I find that the people here have forgotten about Rustan."
"I'm not reconciled."
"I asked a lot of people, but no one remembered the name, I looked through a lot of books, and only in a nobody's biography did I see the wolf knight who died under the poisonous dragon."
"And then there was no more."
"Rustan's name just vanished out of thin air."
"Even the Zephyr swordsmanship that he passed down is gone, and it has become the swordsmanship passed down by Ellendrin."
"That day."
"I swore to Her Majesty the Empress that I would make the people of Mondstadt pay for forgetting their heroes."
"Rustan, he can't die in vain."
At the end of the day, Rosalyn's expression became more and more hideous, her words sharpened, and her eyes seemed to be bursting with flames.
Only Lin Feng sighed.
He probably guessed a little bit about what happened back then.
That young wolf, Rustan, is most likely the leader of the shadows of that generation.
And once you enter the shadows, you will walk in the darkness for the rest of your life, defend Mondstadt in the darkness, and will not leave your name until you die.
