Chapter 11: Mondstadt's Team Building
"Won't you make too much trouble this time..."Wendy and Anping stood on a mountain peak near Qingquan Town, looking at the black clouds and raindrops that gradually hit the earth in the distance, Wendy stared at Anping a little speechlessly.
"Durin is a little excited to see the light of day after 500 years, in fact, I just want it to fly around Mondstadt and then put on a show to scare the Captain Qin and them..."Anping didn't expect that the happy Durin would spit black smoke from his mouth and nose and make such a big fight.
"Then the black rain shouldn't be as corrosive as it used to be, right? Do you know how much effort I put into bringing the corroded earth back then?! Wendy stood on tiptoe and grabbed Anping's neck and shook it vigorously.
"Ahem, ahem... Don't worry, when I resurrected Durin, I had already purified all the toxins from his original body... It's just a little bit of a feature so you know it's Doolin... So whether it's a black cloud or a black rain... It's similar to the ink squid squirting... Harmless..."Anping struggled to squeeze a shriveled explanation out of his throat.
"If there is a problem with the land, you will restore everything for me before leaving!" Wendy pinched Anping's neck, and finally shook it vigorously twice before letting go.
"And when are you going to play?"
"Heroes, of course, are the last to appear." After Anping rubbed his neck, he showed a handsome smile.
"You know that Durin had no ill intentions back then, and it seemed that the act of just playing had caused indelible damage to Mondstadt... With its size, which is three times larger than Tvalin, the storm it whips up when it flapps its wings is an irresistible injury to ordinary people... And whether it's Jean or Noelle, they're all people who will risk their lives to protect others, so don't make things you regret. Wendy reminded An Ping solemnly.
"Everything is under control. Don't worry, it's just a disaster show for Mondstadt. You've protected them so well, and Dvalin can't really get revenge, and many people have forgotten what the disaster was all about. Despite Anping's steady appearance, Wendy was still a little uneasy.
"What about the damaged building?"
"Don't worry, I will compensate according to the price, dismantle and repair and dismantle, this is also a way to improve the economy..."
"You're going to help replant the trees that were blown down by Doolin too, right?" Wendy glanced at the large expanse of fallen woods.
"Rest assured... Can I hire someone to help? An Ping glanced casually, and roughly estimated that there were thousands of fallen trees, and suddenly felt that this was not a simple job.
"The rest of Mondstadt is still busy rebuilding their homes after the disaster! Where are so many people still able to plant trees! You take responsibility for me! Wendy jumped up again and grabbed Anping's neck.
"I promise, I promise!" Not to mention the two people who are still playing hippie with a relaxed mentality here, the atmosphere in front of the Knights at this moment is unusually low and tense.
"Amber, the reconnaissance mission of the exact location of the demon dragon is left to you, use signal flares to guide the artillery fire, but please be sure to pay attention to your own safety, and escape as soon as you are noticed by the demon dragon."
"Understood!" Amber was ordered to set off quickly.
"Kaeya! You lead the cavalry team, and when you see the location of Amber's flares, you immediately bombard the dragon with artillery fire to block its progress... If the dragon is provoked by you, Kaeya, do everything you can to get the dragon away from Mondstadt, and I'm sure you will... Again, protect yourself. β
"Obey the orders of the head of the piano... Alas, you shouldn't have been lazy to go to the tavern for a drink of 'Death in the Afternoon' at noon today... What an unlucky name..."Kaeya complained with a hint of jokingness, but the pace was unusually firm.
"The rest of the staff calmed the emotions of the residents of the city and told them to take refuge in their homes and not go out! Then they lined up at the city gate and waited for the order to be given! β
"Yes!"
"Yula...", and only after everything was arranged did the head of the Jean group look at Yula. She had heard Lisa say that since she came back, Yula had been borrowing books from the library about raising a baby, raising a baby, and so on.
And Yula also told the head of the Qin troupe that she met Anping in Qingce Village. What happened to Yula, the head of the Jean can guess it.
But after all, Yula is an adult, and whatever is her own choice, and Captain Jean respects her decision.
It's just that Mondstadt suddenly encountered this kind of thing.
"Whether it's stopping the demon dragon or guarding the front line, just leave it to me, I'm in good health, and it's not time for you to worry about it." Yoraan looked up at Jean.
"I know, so I'll leave the important task of calling for help to you. Now head to Liyue and relay the news of Mondstadt's attack by the Dragons to Anping or the Celestial Star Ningguang and ask for their help. β
"Are you pretending to protect me? I don't need to. Hearing the order given to her by Captain Jean, Yura frowned.
"No, it's that Mondstadt's current strength is not enough to withstand the incoming dragons, and it won't make much difference if you have one more and one less. A better option than to ask for help from the Grand Master of the Expedition would be to ask for help from Liyue, who was closer to us and better connected, and they would certainly not sit idly by. The journey to Liyue is a short one, and it takes a person with plenty of foot strength to be up to the task. β
"Butβ" Yula was reluctant to accept such a deserter-like mission, preferring to fight on the front lines with her fellow Knights.
"It's nothing, Yura, time is of the essence, and I'm sure you won't let me down." Captain Jean solemnly interrupted Yula's protest.
"Daughter of House Gunnhilde! I've made a note of this hatred! You'd better live and wait for me to come back and get revenge on you! Yura gritted her teeth and glanced at Jean, then turned around and ran quickly.
"Lisa, go get reinforcements from the Adventurers' Guild, and remember to go to Sucrose and ask her to go to the Snow Mountain to call Albedo back. I'm going to find a way to contact Wendy, who has disappeared since I came back, and the East Wind Guardian..."It wasn't until Yura left that the head Jean sighed.
"Jean, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Lisa nodded, and trotted towards the Adventurers' Guild.
Boom! Suddenly there was an explosion inside the Knights, interrupting the head of Jean's departure.
"Knights of Favonius Klee is here to report! Captain Jean, is there any task you can give Klee?! Klee burst out of the blasted confinement chamber and stopped Jean with outstretched hands.
Even Klee, a child, can feel the oppressive atmosphere in the city today.
"Klee... yes, how can I forget you. Seeing Klee's tense little face pretending to be serious, Captain Jean touched her head.
"Spark Knight Klee obeys the order, from today the ban on your bomb making will be lifted, no matter how big the jump bomb you want to make, I will allow it, go and use your imagination now!"
"Yay! Don't worry, Captain Qin, Klee's bomb will blow up the dark clouds in the sky! Klee carried her small bag and rushed towards Albedo's alchemy workshop in the city.
Dark clouds on the horizon... Captain Jean glanced back at the sky behind him, and the dark clouds were already in front of him.
Hugh - boom! A red flare burst into the sky, so conspicuous in the inky clouds.
It seems that Amber has already determined the location of the magic dragon. Is it less than fifty miles from Mondstadt? So fast... It's up to Kaeya and them to drag the dragon outside of Mondstadt...
"Oz! Spread your consecrated wings and engulf my mortal enemy, Taslak, the evil dragon, with an eternal night darker than this cloud! With the help of Fischl and Oz, Amber was able to locate Doolin without much effort, and after Amber calculated that Dohrin was about to arrive and fired a flare, he heard that Fischl was suddenly ill.
"Don't be strong, Miss, not to mention that your old enemy Taslak wasn't eliminated by you last time?" Oz had just taken to the sky to take a look, and it wasn't even the size of an ant in front of Dorin.
"That's just a clone of Taslak, the evil dragon... Hmph, that's what it sounds like... How can an opponent who was just pierced by my Great Dream Vientiane Sen Luo's mad eyes at a glance be my old enemy? Fischl sneered and held his head in a two-tenths position.
"Don't talk nonsense, Fischl, let's retreat quickly, the magic dragon is coming, those black rain is very corrosive, once it is stained, the skin will rot..."
Hearing that his skin would rot when it was stained with black rain, Fischl's movements froze.
"Miss, you don't want my feathers to become dull and tarnished, do you?" Fortunately, Oz, who knew his own young lady, gave the steps down in time.
"Hmph, if you weren't worried about Oz..."
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!" Amber pulled Fischl, who was still in a concave position, and hurriedly retreated.
"Ignition! Aim at the position of the flare and fire three rounds of salvos! The moment Kaeya saw the flare fired, he immediately ordered to open fire.
The three rounds of artillery fire were fired towards the position of the Amber signal flare, and in the clouds opened by the artillery fire, Durin's oppressive and terrifying body emerged, and the position covered by the salvo of a hundred guns just now was not even a leopard in the tube, and even from the dark and bright color on the feathers, those guns did not cause any damage.
"That's... What the hell is that..."The knights who followed Kaeya under Jean's orders didn't even know what was going on, they just did what they were told.
"I didn't have time to hesitate, I changed the shells and prepared to continue firing ... Wait a minute! Kaeya noticed a swirl of clouds in the sky, and the dragon seemed to be turning in a direction.
"All drop the artillery and retreat quickly!" Kaeya noticed that the dragon was coming towards them and immediately changed the order.
At the same time, Amber's yellow warning flare rose into the sky.
"Got it... Got itβ" Kaeya took a deep breath, picked up a cannon, flipped on his horse, and galloped with his companions back to each other.
"Come on, come on... Follow me, little kitten..."Kaeya grabbed the cannon and lit the fire signal and shot it directly into the sky behind him.
There is no need to aim at all, and it is difficult to shoot crookedly with Durin's body. The bomb exploded, and the flames were everywhere.
"Roar!" A deafening, terrifying roar rang through the sky behind Kaeya, and even the horses beneath him neighed restlessly.
Kaeya quickly clamped his horse's belly, calmed the horse, and drove the horse in the opposite direction of Mondstadt.
He knew from the very beginning that this was his real mission.
"Follow me!" Kaeya turned and fired another shot into the sky, just as Dohrin flapped his wings and pierced through the clouds, and Kaeya finally saw Doolin's obscuring body.
A cannonball landed on Durin's body, not even a small spark. No matter how good a horse was, it was nothing compared to Dorin's speed, and Kaeya only fired two cannonballs, and Doolin had already caught up with him from dozens of miles away.
Before Durin could attack, his massive body fluttered over Kaeya's head, and the storm tossed the horses straight away, sending sand and rocks flying all over the ground.
Kaeya jumped off the horse before it fell to the ground, rolled twice on the ground and leaned against a boulder.
"It's really urgent, little kitten... That's why I hate tasks like this... It's not at all my way of doing things..."Kaeya watched as Doolin covered the sky's belly, jumped on the boulder and leaped to his feet, then opened his wings of the wind and flew into the sky with the help of the storm that Doolin had set off.
"Be honest!" Kaeya shot out a frost sword aura, leaving a white mark on Durin's feathers.
Durin didn't even notice if he was being attacked, and continued to fly forward.
"Such an opponent is too desperate, isn't it?" said Kaeya as he looked at Durin, who was ignoring him.
Durin flew straight ahead, then sprinted upwards, and a hovering reversed course toward Mondstadt.
"Hey, hey, hey... No way... Little kitten, here are small dried fish... You'd better check out me! Kaeya showed the Wind Wings control technique, which was no weaker than that of the Mondstadt Flying Champion, so that she was not swept away by the storm set off by Doolin.
However, Kaeya was too small in Durin's eyes. Doolin didn't notice him at all, let alone hear his provocation, and even the damage Kaeya had done was not even an itch for Dorin.
Durin just did as Anping wanted, playing as gently as possible with his friends in Mondstadt who were going to spend the next thousand years with him, showing his proud form.
Anping demanded that it not come into contact with these delicate friends. Durin will do it all. The reborn Durin can't wait for the people of this land to witness it after being reborn.
