People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 379: Wendy: Intermittently full of confidence, and constantly living a life of idleness and waiting for death

".Strange, you should also know that the sooner I succeed in modifying the rules, the sooner you can be freed from your current job, right?

Why does it seem like your enthusiasm is not as high as mine? "

"Well, if you really like this kind of work, then would you like to take over the position of Xumi's weather controller?"

I found that the drunkard in front of me was a fusion of the two great human virtues of "procrastination" and "playing badly". He did not have the unique divinity that other gods had that transcended humans.
For a moment, Lin Feng didn't know whether he should praise him for maintaining his humanity when facing power, or complain about this guy for not looking like a god at all.

"."

"Well, my friend, you know that although you can save one job after the commission is completed,
But isn’t it equivalent to more than doubling my workload now? "

"."

"Forget it, my friend, what you said does make sense.
——Just think of it as burying the wine in front of you, I will try my best!"

After a moment's silence, Wendy seemed to have convinced herself.

The green-skinned Mondstadt wine boy clenched his hands, and an unprecedented fighting spirit emerged in his eyes.

Lin Feng: "."

Well, this is more like it. It seems that I misunderstood Wendy.
Looking at his motivated appearance, it seems that this guy can be reliable sometimes.

"——Let's go, let's go, friends, in order to retire earlier, let's go!
I think I can do about the same things that the old man can do, right?
No matter what, I must help you become familiar with the wind elemental power as quickly as possible!"

He also knew that the reason why Lin Feng was looking for him was not just to find a sparring partner who was familiar with the wind element.
In addition, we also need to study the methods we have used to control the climate over the past thousands of years as preliminary research for the final plan.

For a better tomorrow without work, Wendy's eyes lit up as he vowed to work hard this time and not give up halfway.

For a moment, I even felt a strong desire to immediately arrange the schedule and complete all the accumulated work as planned!
On the other side, at the Chenxi Winery after the banquet.

When a passionate drunkard has even planned out his schedule for next year,
A blue-haired young man wearing an eyepatch also walked up to Diluk, who was sitting at the table and staring at a glove.

Without making a sound, he placed his right hand, which had just been accidentally stained with wine, on the shoulder of his "brother".
Kaeya, who hadn't seen Diluk like this for a long time, smiled and said nonchalantly:
"——Hey, didn't our "busy business" owner go out? How come he's back in such a short time?
Could it be that he just left to find an excuse to get away?"

I wanted to wipe my right hand on my shoulder a few more times.

After sensing some hidden murderous intent, Kaeya could only give up his original action with a bit of regret.

"Kaiya, if you were trying to irritate me, I have to admit that you were successful."

"——You should know that if you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to play those mysterious tricks in front of me."

He slapped the dirty hand off his shoulder.

If Diluk didn't know that no one came to disturb him just now and that Kaeya had put in a lot of effort, he would have planned to chase him out himself just like he did when this guy came to "borrow wine" before.

"——Then I'll be frank. After all the preparations and efforts, it seems that you are satisfied with the harvest this time?"

"The representative of Xumi is very mysterious. Even I can't figure out his details.
But anyway, you've been staring at this thing for quite some time, could it be possible that he can help you turn the 'evil eye' into the eye of God?"

After all, I have never heard of this before, and I don't think it is possible.
Kaiya came here to persuade his "brother" not to dwell on the past and to use the Eye of God that he had given him.

The "evil eye" can only help him hide his identity when he plays the role of a "dark night hero".
But even if there are no negative effects for the time being, if there are any side effects in the future, he doesn't want to be in Diluk's position and end the suffering of those close to him with his own hands.

"Oh, it's true that it failed to turn into the Eye of God, but as for transformation, how about you try it yourself, Kaia?"

Diluk put the glove back on his right hand, stood up, grabbed Kaeya's hand that was extended to him, and suggested "competing" for the first time in a long time.

".Hmm? Is there really something fishy going on? I mean, you're not going to take this opportunity to beat me up, are you?"

"Oh, how could that be? If you want to pay the original price for the wine you drank after the party, you can leave now."

"."

Kaeya was alert when he found that Diluk was in a particularly good mood today. However, the threat from him was too great to ignore.
He also wanted to see why Diluk was so confident, so he finally nodded and agreed:
"Well, let's stick to the old rules.
After all, it's a rare opportunity for you to 'deal with' me."

"——If you win, all the current grudges will be written off.

If I win, you will give me a few extra bottles of fine wine from your collection."

"Okay, now that you say so, I will 'cherish' this opportunity."

He glanced at Kaia meaningfully.
Diluk, who had been almost at the end of his patience, decided to teach him a lesson this time:
——Don’t be fooled by what Kaia said, but in every previous competition, this guy was always sneaky and evasive.
There were only a few direct confrontations in a fight.
When the time was almost up, this guy threw down his weapon and raised his hands to admit defeat, with a victim expression that said "I couldn't beat you from the beginning, so sparring is just a one-sided beating."

With the idea of ​​testing this new "evil eye", Diluk was also prepared to take the opportunity to give this guy a beating.

After a while,

The open space in the backyard of Chenxi Winery used for practice.

"boom--"

As if the air itself was ignited in a twisted heat wave, the blazing golden flames easily shattered the ice wall in front of them.

Diluk easily grasped a two-handed greatsword with one hand, and took the opportunity to step forward and slap Kaeya's side with the back of the weapon:

——The weapons used for practice were specially made, and both of them also had protective gear on their bodies.
If he was hit by this, he might be hit and sent flying like a badminton, but he wouldn't be able to withstand serious injuries.

"——I say! What's going on?"

"boom--"

Kaeya wanted to complain about why Diluk seemed like a different person.

But when he found that the opponent had no intention of holding back, he quickly stopped talking and rolled to the ground, narrowly avoiding the attack that was obviously intended to knock him away.

He got up from the ground and took a deep breath. He saw that his sworn brother had no intention of communicating during the battle.
In order to avoid being beaten up,
Kaeya could only try his best to use the channel built by the ice elements under his feet to move quickly in the venue, using extremely high flexibility to avoid head-on attacks.

"—Run? I won't give you a chance this time."

I have already lost my patience with this slippery guy, but I don't intend to really hurt him.
Diluk thought about it and paused his attack.

Finally, he stood still, holding the great sword in his hands with both hands.
He mobilized his own elemental power and thrust his weapon deep into the ground: "BOOM——"

The sound of flames exploding came from under the feet of the red-haired young man.
A raging flame with a hint of golden light swept across, melting the ice on the ground while also forming a circular ring of fire around it.

"."

Kaia, who was originally able to run around, suddenly stopped.

He looked at the gradually shrinking circle of fire, and then at Diluk who was doing warm-up exercises with his bare hands.

The blue-haired young man realized that he had nowhere to escape and threw away his weapon, raising his hands as quickly as possible:

“——I admit it.”

"boom--"

"——I admit it."

A solid punch without any elemental force landed on him.
Diluk, who had been preparing for this day for a long time, was interrupted by the voices of surrender.

He gave this guy, who had been going too far recently, a good beating.

"It's bad. I've lost a lot this time."

"It seems that I will never agree to spar with you next time.
If you keep hitting me like this, my other eye might be damaged."

"——Your eyes are not blind at all, don't think I don't know,

Besides a few more punch marks on your body, I don't think you'll have any additional damage.

If a beating like that could buy the bottles of wine you drank, everyone in Mondstadt would line up in front of the winery."

In the empty space that has returned to peace,

Facing Kaeya who was playing the victim, Diluk, who was obviously in a good mood, retorted sharply.

Recalling some of the experiences I just had in the battle,
Somewhat surprised to find that this power seemed much stronger than he had imagined, Diluk also realized that this blessing from God might not be that simple:
——Perhaps influenced by the will of the Giver, the flames used by this new evil eye almost completely abandoned the indirect, slow damage method of burning, and instead used instantaneous explosion damage that burned everything at extremely high temperatures.

Under this pure and domineering power, his attack possesses a melting property that is almost "nothing can be broken", and Kaeya's ice wall will be completely evaporated the moment it comes into contact with it.

"."

He seemed to remember something and ignored the guy next to him who was nagging about injustice.

Diluk also stood up and pulled out the practice weapon that was stuck to the rocky ground and was almost burned out.

Under Kaeya's puzzled gaze, he finally threw away the weapon and replaced it with an ordinary two-handed sword.
Coming to a huge rock in the center of the venue,
Diluk, who had not used his full strength just now, closed his eyes slightly. As his muscles tensed, a dazzling flame burned on the iron sword.

"boom--"

A brief charge and an almost invisible swing.
In Kaia's stunned eyes,

As the sword in the young man's hand almost melted into molten iron, a dazzling line of fire suddenly appeared in the center of the rock.
"Chichi-"

The several-man-high rock that was neatly cut in half slid to the ground.
After the red cross-section touched the pool next to it, it also stirred up a cloud of water vapor with a slight smell of sulfur in the entire courtyard.

"."

Seeing this unexpected effect, Diluk was silent for a moment.

Then he shook his head and turned away decisively:

——He wanted the maids to erect a statue in the center of the winery, and then make preparations in advance for the trip to Benlang Ridge in a few days.

——As for the current venue which is somewhat unrecognizable, someone will naturally come and repair it later.

"."

Kaia: “.”

Oh no, it seems like this guy has got a real thing that is more powerful than the Eye of God. How can I persuade him to give up the Evil Eye?

For the sake of my future quality of life, should I also find a way to find the statue of that god and worship it?
I can vaguely guess where this power comes from.

Kaiya, who had just been beaten up, had never expected that his sworn brother would undergo such a drastic change in such a short period of time.

At the same time, on the other side,
Little did he know that there would be a new statue in his largest winery in Mondstadt.
Lin Feng, who just thought Wendy was reliable, was now looking at a drunkard who had "burned out" with a frown on his face:
——At first I thought I misunderstood you. It turns out that you are intermittently ambitious and constantly living a life of idleness and waiting for death? !
In just a short period of time,

He witnessed the whole process of this drunkard making up his mind, formulating a plan, and finally procrastinating and giving up.
For a moment I thought I saw some students from the Ordination House on holiday.
He had never felt such a level of speechless affection for a god before.

".Oh, no, no, I really shouldn't have competed with the old man.

The old man can work for more than three thousand years in one go, so I should admit from the beginning that I am not as good as him."

Like a Natasha guinea pig, he lay there in a heap.
Wendy recalled her friend's terrifying enthusiasm for learning, and finally understood why even the old man felt tired at that time:

——How can someone practice for several days without sleep?
Even in the accelerated consciousness space, this is too much, right? !
Seeing that if I didn't give up, this energetic friend might drag me to work for several weeks or even longer,
I feel that I cannot compare to the stamina limit of the holder of the grass elemental power.

The God of Wind, who was just full of confidence, has once again entered the bad mode:

"——Forget it, forget it. It seems that I really can't handle it alone.

Although I promised not to bother that guy as much as possible,
But if I bring him some more gifts this time, Andrius should be able to help share some of the pressure, right?"

He did not forget that there was actually an Ice Wind Power Demon in Mondstadt that was older than himself.

Although that guy is now only a remnant soul, but considering his experience in elemental control, it should not be a problem to help a little.

Since the elemental dragons have always been particular about letting nature take its course in controlling the elemental forces,
After hundreds or thousands of years of grinding, it has become almost the same. There is no systematic experience to teach others.

It was a rare situation that even Tevarin couldn't help him.
A drunkard who didn't want to die of exhaustion on the way also sighed deeply and decided to disturb an old neighbor who had been staying quietly in the wild.
