Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

This is all she can do now.

......

The Knights of Favonius were on high alert, and the Fools, who were in the Goethe Hotel, were equally panicked.

"Madam, all our people have gathered."

The slightly trembling sorceress Lei Ying hurriedly reported to the lady that the Fatui had been preparing to act as soon as the strange phenomenon in the Mondstadt sky began to emerge, but they never expected it to escalate to such a terrible degree.

Anyone with even a modicum of perception would be terrified upon noticing the chaotic elements in the sky. The fact that the Fatui had managed to gather as the lady had instructed was already a testament to their elite status. The Knights of Favonius were different; after all, Mondstadt was the one suffering the most, and despite their fear, these knights remained steadfast in their duties in the face of such a calamity.

The courage to defend their homeland allowed the Knights of Favonius to overcome their fear of natural disasters.

"Humph!"

The woman paid no attention to her subordinates' reports; she was now gazing at the sky, which was obscured by wind elements, with her arms crossed.

Unlike others, she, blessed by the Ice God, could see Sufeng and Dvalin confronting each other in the sky through the heavy wind element.

But it was precisely because she could see what was happening high in the sky that she was even more surprised.

The power displayed by Su Feng and Dvalin, who were followers of the Wind God, far exceeded her expectations, and the conclusion drawn from estimating the power of the Wind God based on their strength was even more outrageous.

'Barbatos... the power of that false god is truly terrifying?'

Although she was initially full of confidence—after all, she knew that the divine power one could gain from ruling the mortal world was commensurate with the results of that rule, and Barbatos, having been missing for so many years, obviously couldn't have gained much power.

She originally thought that she was going to deal with a weak false god who only had a title, but now the situation is too different from what she imagined.

'But no matter what, I must bring back the Heart of the Wind God.'

With a gloomy face, the woman turned her back to her subordinates and ordered, "The citizens of Mondstadt have all gathered in the safe zone. Have everyone disperse. I need to know who is still active in Mondstadt at this time!"

Mondstadt's emergency measures did bring some convenience to the ladies—the mortals who had served as a cover had all been taken away, and the once chaotic Mondstadt had fallen into an indescribable silence, which was the perfect time for those of them who wanted to do something.

'Barbatos, I will find you.'

Whether your weakness is genuine or feigned, I will find you and deliver your Divine Heart to Her Majesty the Queen!

A burning flame ignited in the woman's eyes as she eagerly awaited her meeting with the wind god—after all, the queen's orders were absolute.

Even if it means burning herself out, she will surely complete her mission, and the old world will be transformed into nourishment for the new world in a sea of ​​fire!

Chapter Seventeen: Wendy's Purpose?

The chaotic scene in Mondstadt didn't last long. After Su Feng's wind wall blocked Dvalin's final frenzy, everyone in Mondstadt who was watching the sky seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Even after seeing Su Feng hanging high above Mondstadt, large numbers of people put their hands together and began to pray to him—well, these guys mistook Su Feng for Barbatos.

This is not surprising, after all, he wields powerful winds to protect Mondstadt, and like Barbatos, he has a pair of wings on his back.

Although his appearance differs slightly from that of the legendary wind god, he is now high in the sky, and not everyone can clearly see his full form.

"You wouldn't help me earlier, and now you want me to help appease the people of Mondstadt? Do you not want to be the Wind God anymore?"

Standing before the towering wall of wind, Su Feng rebuked the air in front of him with extreme dissatisfaction. However, the person who wasn't there gave him a reply that infuriated him.

"Of course I don't want to be it. If possible, I'd be happy to give you the position of Wind God!"

"If you're willing, I'll give you the Heart of the Wind God right now!"

As if hearing Wendy say that he could give up his position as the Wind God, Su Feng almost fainted upon hearing this.

"What exactly do you mean by this?!"

"Only you can be the Wind God! More importantly, you must come out and take on the responsibilities of the Wind God right now!"

Having finally calmed down, Su Feng continued to berate Venti for his inhuman behavior through the wind. If Venti hadn't already disappeared, Su Feng might have dragged out the wind god and given him a good beating in front of all the Mondstadt people.

"Oh dear, I need to go chase after Dvalin to make it a little quieter, I really don't have time!"

"Why don't you help out and calm the kids in Mondstadt?"

"Anyway, it was you who protected them this time!"

Wendy's voice was getting more and more inappropriate, which made Su Feng's desire to teach this guy a lesson even stronger.

"Oh, right, remember to calm the wind in the sky too. Right now, the wind in Mondstadt is practically a ball of yarn that the cats have played with. This isn't good."

I believe in you!

Just as Su Feng was about to break off his connection with Wendy, the guy sent another message that made his blood pressure spike. After glancing up at the vortex of pure wind in the sky above Mondstadt, Su Feng felt like the veins on his forehead were about to explode.

Wasn't this thing created by Dvalin? Why did he have to deal with it in the end?

It's decided! After this, unless Wendy leaves again, that guy won't get a single drop of alcohol when he gets back!!!

......

Whether Wendy actually went after Dvalin wasn't something Su Feng cared too much about, since this guy would never do anything he didn't want to do—of course, although they hadn't spent much time together, Su Feng didn't think Wendy would work seriously under normal circumstances.

Therefore, in the end, he was still responsible for appeasing the public.

With no other option, Su Feng could only slowly land on the outstretched hands of the wind god statue in front of the cathedral. As he landed on the statue with his emerald green wings, Su Feng instantly received unimaginable prayers and faith from all of Mondstadt.

"Buzz!"

The divine power originating from the wind god entered an unimaginably active state at this moment, and faced with the surging faith, Su Feng directly used the secret technique obtained from Wendy to transform this power originating from humans into something more tangible.

The next moment, a gentle breeze blew into the hearts of all Mondstadt people.

Upon feeling this gentle breeze, the previous fatigue, fear, and panic vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving only endless tranquility and peace of mind.

“I am a servant of the wind god Barbatos. The situation arose from my battle with another servant of the wind god.”

After making sure everyone had calmed down, Su Feng gently began to explain what had happened—although he could leave it unexplained, it would still cause some concern among the Mondstadt people.

So, in the time that followed, Su Feng slowly told the people of Mondstadt the story and sorrow of the East Wind Dragon. As his soft but clear voice reached everyone's ears, Mondstadt fell into a deathly silence once again.

"..."

"Lord Wind God's Familiar, what can we do now?"

After a long while, it was Jean, as the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, who was the first to step forward and ask questions—this time she truly treated Su Feng with the same respect one would show to a divine being.

If Su Feng's previous behavior had made her somewhat suspicious of this suddenly appearing divine companion, then after today, those suspicions have dissipated.

Regardless of how Su Feng became a member of the gods, he did indeed protect Mondstadt from the forgotten and crazed East Wind Dragon today.

"The winds above are in disarray, and the great symphony that has protected Mondstadt for millennia has become somewhat discordant. I must immediately devote myself to restoring the great symphony."

"The wind wall I erected will protect Mondstadt. Mortals can freely enter and exit this wind wall, but I am unable to set up more wind walls in other parts of Mondstadt."

"The East Wind Dragon is still in a frenzy, and the Knights of Favonius must protect the people of the rest of Mondstadt!"

Su Feng said this to Qin in a serious tone.

Although Wendy went after Dvalin, no one can guarantee whether this patient, who is refusing treatment, will ultimately be willing to lie on the operating table, or even whether Dvalin will run away and hurt people. Therefore, it is necessary to have the Knights of Favonius step forward now.

"The Knights of Favonius will not disappoint you."

After hearing Su Feng's brief explanation, Qin stepped forward without hesitation—this was the duty of the Knights of Favonius, and Su Feng clearly had more important things to do. Although the Knights of Favonius were weak, they had to hold on!

"Furthermore, Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, I hope you can find a way to help us find a solution to the poison of Durin's Blood—even if it's just to temporarily suppress it. A large part of Dvalin's current emotional instability is due to the influence of the poison."

"If we can suppress the poisonous blood, then things will be very simple."

Finally, Su Feng gave Qin another task, which Qin accepted without hesitation.

Although mortals are weak, they are not entirely useless.

After explaining everything, Su Feng slowly flew up from the palm of the Wind God statue, and then, under the watchful eyes of everyone in Mondstadt, transformed into a gentle breeze and disappeared into the high sky.

Only after soaring high into the sky and escaping everyone's sight did Su Feng have time to observe the tiny, shimmering crystals in his palm.

"Wendy... that's why he sent me to appease the people of Mondstadt, the Wind Walkers, and the Ley Lines?"

"This guy... never mind, I'm afraid I owe him a huge favor!"

Chapter Eighteen: A Terrible Opening

"I heard that something big has happened in Mondstadt recently—their Wind Guardian has gone mad because of its battle with the poison dragon Durin. During the battle between the Wind Dragon and another of the Wind God's familiars, the entire sky of Mondstadt became like this."

"And the war is still not over, and no one knows when the skies of Mondstadt will return to normal."

The cute floating object hovering beside the girl pointed to the sky with its tiny finger and explained, while the girl, whose attention had already been drawn to the huge dark green vortex high in the sky, also felt a slight tremor.

'Isn't this a bit of an exaggeration? Can mere divine retinues really achieve this?'

If it were in their prime, they could have done it, but it would still be somewhat difficult—after all, this is another world, and as travelers, they can only rely on their own strength.

But even so, aren't the divine beings and their retinues involved in this battle a bit too exaggerated?

Well, the poor traveler didn't know that the two Wind God's familiars who caused such a commotion were not normal beings, so his conclusion was somewhat biased.

"If that's the case, Mondstadt is in great danger right now, so perhaps we shouldn't be coming at this time?"

The girl named Ying asked the guide she had fished up. She had come to Mondstadt because the guide said it was a city of poetry and freedom. Now that Mondstadt was like this, could she really find out the information she wanted?

No, let alone inquiring about information, just looking at that strange accumulation of super-elements in the sky, it would be perfectly normal to say that Mondstadt disappeared during this conflict that was almost a war of gods.

Even if things don't escalate to that point, the people of Mondstadt must be quite nervous right now, right?

Wouldn't people with unknown identities be treated as a threat and dealt with immediately if they showed up at this time?

Ying regretted it a little when she thought about it—she should have thought of that, Paimon's little head clearly didn't have much of a brain!

We shouldn't have listened to her arrangements at all!

But now that they're already in Mondstadt, they probably don't have much of a chance to escape.

"Roar!"

Just as Ying was pondering what she should do in Mondstadt, a tremendous roar suddenly came from the sky, accompanied by a gust of wind that nearly knocked her off her feet.

"Wow!"

"What exactly is going on?"

Ying grabbed Paimon's scarf and pulled the little guy, who had almost been blown away, back into her arms. She looked in horror at a tornado that had fallen to the ground not far away—although the tornado was not strong, if she was accidentally swept into the sky, she would probably be seriously injured when she fell!

Fortunately, although Ying's strength was not much left, at least her vision and reaction were not too diminished. So at the last moment, she stabilized her body and also managed to bring back her useless emergency food.

This emergency food may seem useless, but it's one of the few things you can talk to while traveling, and even for that reason alone, I can't just watch her die.
