Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

Roland raised his head and gripped his longsword tightly.

The battle continues.

After an unknown amount of time, a shrill roar reached everyone's ears, and suddenly black rain began to fall from the sky. It was the blood of the poisonous dragon Dulin. The poisonous blood corroded the grass and trees that fell on the ground, and killed the fish in the Fruit Wine Lake in an instant.

Those unfortunate enough to be tainted by the poisonous blood, or those who are monsters, are also corroded by the venom and die in agony.

Erendel was terrified. He looked up and saw the dragon's figure staggering across the sky and flying towards the distant snow-capped mountains.

"Russtan!!"

Erendlin's gaze fell on the figure hovering high in the sky.

Endless light shone, illuminating the vast sky.

Everyone looked up and saw Su Chen standing in the air, lifted up by the power of the wind. He was covered in blood, and ice elements were frantically gathering on his body, eventually transforming into an ice spear tens of meters long.

Uh-huh! ——

The spear sliced ​​through the sky, cutting through the black mist, and plunged into Dulin's body like a shooting star!

Chapter 13 A Letter to Rosalyn [Third Update, 4k words!]

The Calamity of Kanria erupted, plunging the entire Teyvat into a brutal war.

The black beast tide swept across the seven kingdoms, and each kingdom sent its elite troops to fight the monsters, suffering heavy casualties.

But as time went on, the strongest beast tide was repelled, and it then evolved into a long war of attrition.

Sumeru.

Order House.

A girl in a long white dress stood on a pavilion, gazing into the distance with worry in her eyes.

"Russian..."

Rosalyn pursed her lips and sighed softly to herself.

Faced with this sudden war, no one expected it to be so terrible.

But the goddess of Mount Sumeru, the great King of the Great Compassionate Tree, seemed to have foreseen this, and she made many preparations in advance, allowing Mount Sumeru to escape from the most frenzied beast tide.

Rosalyn had to admit that even though most of the people in the Sumeru Realm were weak and powerless scholars, with the help of that deity who coordinated wisdom and planned everything, even the greatest calamities could be withstood.

This must be the power of God.

The god of wisdom of Sumeru is gentle yet powerful, and is unconditionally trusted by all his people.

During her time studying at the Order of the Church, Rosalyn also fully experienced the respect, even the almost fanatical worship, that the people of Sumeru had for the Great Tree King.

And Mondstadt also has gods.

Although the wind god rarely appears, how could a god abandon his people in the face of such a situation?

With the Wind God here, Rustan... and everyone else, they should all be alright.

No, everything will be alright, after all, God... is omnipotent.

"Lady Rosalyn."

A woman appeared behind her.

"The monsters east of Daocheng Forest have been eliminated, but many have reappeared in the area of ​​Shanjian. According to our scouts, the situation in the desert is not good either. Without the orders of the Great Tree King, the army of the Order of the Instruction has not gone to the desert to deal with the monsters. What should we do?"

This woman is a member of the Earth Fire team.

Before Rosalyn arrived in Sumeru, Su Chen had already given her the task of developing the Earth Fire force.

And she did a great job. In just three years, the power of the Earth Fire in Sumeru was already no less than that of Mondstadt.

The main reason is that there was no suppression of the Earth Fire Organization in Sumeru. The political struggle in Sumeru was not intense, or rather, the scholars had no interest in it. With the Great Compassion Tree King in charge of everything, human ambition was useless.

After all, it's easy to maintain consistency in management within the Void. In such a situation, if someone tries to do something underhanded, the Great Tree King can see it immediately.

Even without the Great Tree King's intervention, the six sages who embody the gods will unconditionally follow in the gods' footsteps and govern Mount Sumeru.

In short, what Rosalind has seen in Sumeru over the past three years is a kind of wisdom under the guise of reason, which has both a thirst for the unknown and a fear of taboos, and a reverence for the gods.

Rosalind turned her gaze back from the distance.

He pondered for a moment.

"Since the Order of the Church doesn't care about the desert, then let's let Earthfire take care of it."

The desert is a special place.

The desert people worship the deceased Red King, and most of them are hostile to the Great Tree King, believing him to be the murderer of the Red King.

Strangely, the Great Tree King never regulated such remarks, nor did he punish the desert in any way.

Rosalind's intuition told her that there might be some reason unknown to outsiders, but in any case, the desert people were brave and skilled in battle, making them a prime target for the development of the Earth Fire.

After all, most of the people in the rainforest are scholars. They are good at academic research, but when it comes to fighting monsters, it takes people who can wield swords.

"Remember, never act hastily in the desert, do not harbor malice, but do not be overly merciful either. Follow the will of the great leader Lord Rustan. The meaning of the Earth Fire is to protect, to change, to create, and it can also be to destroy."

“We protect everything and everyone that is worth protecting, but there is no need to save those who are rotten to the core, whose souls are already tainted with decay.”

After several years of growth, Rosalind is no longer the innocent girl who sang in the wind in Mondstadt.

Perhaps it is only when facing the one they love that they reveal an unexpected tenderness.

After the woman left, Rosalyn went up into the attic and back to her room.

A figure rushed over.

"Lady Rosalyn, your letter."

It was a letter from Mondstadt, which Rosalind had instructed to be delivered to her immediately.

"A letter from Rustan?!"

Rosalind was invigorated.

He excitedly opened the letter.

However, Rosalyn quickly froze on the spot.

This is a farewell letter.

【Dear Rosalyn, it's been a long time.】

I sit here before Mondstadt Cathedral, gazing at the place where we first met. A fierce wind sweeps across the city, howling, carrying no scent of fruit or fluttering dandelions, only the air thick with sorrow, anxiety, despair, and grief.

You told me that the Cecilia flowers at Star-Picking Cliff were beautiful, their fragrance intoxicating, and that lying down surrounded by flowers and grass, it felt as if someone was singing in the wind.

It's a pity I haven't been able to go even once; I really regret it.

[There are also the ancient trees of the Wind Rises Land, the sunrise at Cape Oath, walking quietly in the tranquil Whispering Forest, watching the little lamps emit a faint glow, and crystal butterflies fluttering about. I once planned a whole day's trip, but somehow I forgot about time and buried myself in endless work.]

Perhaps only now do I have time to look back, but unfortunately, there's no going back. Looking back always brings regret; I should be moving forward.

You should keep moving forward too.

Perhaps... when you return, you will no longer see me. Please don't be sad, for it is fate, even without this disaster.

Rosalyn, do you believe in miracles?

If you don't believe me, then please believe me: separation isn't forever. Perhaps at some point in the future, we will meet again, only that day will be far off, so far that time may erase my image in your heart, so far that perhaps even the subterranean fire will cease to exist.

Do not let the flames of hatred consume your reason; that is not the dawn, my dear Rosalind, but a sea of ​​fire that will consume everything.

Alright, the evening bells are tolling; the time for farewell has arrived.

【I have to go now.】

May the wind god bless you.

Tick.

Crystalline tears welled up in her eyes, slid down her cheeks, and dripped onto the letter.

Rosalyn's hands trembled as she gripped the letter tightly, her body shaking as well. Sadness and an overwhelming impulse filled her heart, and at that moment, she had only one thought in her mind—to go back!

...

Zizzi~~

Flames covered the vast, scorched earth, and a strong, acrid smell filled the air.

The knight, covered in blood, pulled his companion from a pile of soil and monsters. Their faces were filled with sorrow. Looking at the faces that used to be where they drank and laughed together, someone finally let out a suppressed sob.

Alan Delin held his sword, his expression somewhat numb.

He had forgotten how many times he had repelled the monster hordes.

Those terrifying dark beast tides seemed endless. Even without the threat of that evil dragon, these monsters alone were enough to make the Knights despair.

Fortunately, the underground fire helped; otherwise, the casualties would have been several times greater.

Tap, tap, tap, tap...

Heavy footsteps sounded.

The metal armor dragged the boy's figure along. Eren Delin raised his eyes and saw Roland walking towards him, looking lost and dejected.

Their eyes met, and from the boy's gaze, Eren Delin knew the outcome.

This search also failed to find Rustan's body.

The two walked silently toward Mondstadt.

"Let's hold a funeral ceremony."

"Alan Delin said."

...

Mondstadt, in front of the colossal statue of the wind god.

Clusters of flowers were placed in front of the tombstone engraved with Rustan's name.

The Mondstadt citizens stood in silence, inside and out.

Merchants, adventurers, ordinary citizens, knights, or members of the Earthfire—Erendelyn stood before the tombstone as the officiant presided over Rustan's farewell ceremony.
