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

What the woman said is true.

The six-month-long dragon scourge caused Mondstadt to regress significantly in all aspects.

Compared to Liyue next door, it's far, far inferior.

As the acting head of the delegation, she had no choice but to take on the responsibility.

On one side are the people of Mondstadt, and on the other are the Anemo Clan, who protects Mondstadt.

This is not a multiple-choice question.

Whatever decision she makes, it will be cruel.

"Heh~" Seeing Qin remain silent, the woman sneered, "Since you can't make up your mind, then I'll do it for you. You're right, I will carry on Rustan's will and protect this country in my own way!"

The voice just fell.

A series of booming sounds suddenly came from the sky.

The two looked up, their expressions surprised.

A golden figure rode the wind, engaging in a fierce battle with a giant dragon above the clouds!

Chapter 26 Animal Linguist Su Chen [Seventh Update!]

"Someone is flying in the sky!"

People in Mondstadt looked up at the figure riding the wind and weaving through the gray clouds.

The blonde girl's body was surrounded by cyan elemental energy, which she controlled and shot towards Dvalin. The elemental energy seemed to have a strong restraining effect on Dvalin, who was in pain and let out a roar that filled the entire sky.

"She, she, she, she, she, she..."

On a street in the city, Amber raised her head and pointed to the sky, muttering "Aba aba."

Su Chen and Arya stood beside her.

Amber, who was sent by Jean to investigate the Abyss Order, discovered many clues and was preparing to return to report when she happened to run into Su Chen and his group who were returning to the city.

The enthusiastic flying champion gave Ying a Mondstadt specialty called "Windwing" as a gift. However, not long after entering the city, Ying was attacked by Dvalin in Mondstadt and then flew away on the Windwing she gave her!

She flew, she really flew!

Hey, hey, hey, that's not how you use the Wings of Wind!

Amber racked her brains trying to figure out why Luminous could use Wind Wings under the influence of such a violent hurricane, and she couldn't understand how Luminous could fight a wind dragon.

She turned to look at Su Chen, trying to get an answer from him.

The usually calm Su Chen immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Amber asked in confusion, "You don't know either?"

"Nonsense, I only met her today, how was I supposed to know she was so amazing?"

Arya thought to herself, "So that's how powerful Luminous is. No wonder I wasn't afraid when I heard about the dragon."

Su Chen's mind wasn't actually on the sky; he looked around, trying to find the drunkard in the crowd.

But he failed. Wendy is the Wind God, after all. If he wanted to hide himself from being discovered, it would be impossible for him to detect the other party's presence with his strength.

Perhaps it's in the sky.

Su Chen turned his attention back to the sky.

Humans vs. dragons!!

This kind of fantastical adventure story often appears in Mondstadt's folk tales, where adventurers take pride in slaying dragons, but now they have witnessed this incredible scene firsthand.

"Roar!!!"

A dragon's roar echoed from the sky.

Seeing that it was being suppressed and beaten by Ying, the whole city immediately erupted in cheers.

However, the battle did not last long. Luminous was empowered by Venti, which had a suppressive effect on Dvalin. Perhaps sensing the presence of this power, Dvalin flapped its wings and left after a brief struggle.

Then, under the intense gazes of the city, Ying controlled the wings of wind and slowly descended from the sky.

"A hero who defeated the evil dragon."

Looking at Ying surrounded by people, Su Chen felt a strange sense of emotion. In the simulation, as the leader of the Knights, his honors shone much brighter than Ying's.

The more accolades one receives, the greater the responsibility one bears.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

"Teacher, the Traveler is so amazing!" Arya said with some envy. "How can I become as amazing as her?"

Su Chen smiled faintly and said, "She is a hero in the light, but this world has never lacked light. You must learn to be a hero who walks in the darkness."

"Like a hero in the dark?"

The Night Hero of Mondstadt, a legendary figure active in the dead of night, who rid Mondstadt of the threat of monster invasion.

This legend is known to almost everyone in Mondstadt.

However, no one has ever seen it with their own eyes.

"Maybe it won't be as glamorous, are you willing?" Su Chen asked with a smile.

Arya nodded emphatically.

Whether it's glamorous or not, as long as you do what you can, that's enough.

...

Half an hour later, Ying was taken to the Knights' headquarters.

"This is the Knights Order! How impressive!" Paimon looked around curiously, then suddenly stomped his foot excitedly, "Traveler, you defeated the evil dragon, will they give us lots and lots of Mora?!"

Ying: →_→

"What kind of expression is that? I'm just thinking of you. With Mora, we'll have funds for our trip!"

Paimon put his hands on his hips and said confidently.

Air was coming out of both nostrils.

That's awesome! She and the Traveler fought off a dragon, so they're definitely going to be treated well.

"Mr. Su Chen, you're back."

Along the way, passing knights greeted Su Chen one after another.

"You're quite popular here." Paimon was puzzled. Was zoology really that sought-after?

Su Chen smiled and said, "Just a little bit."

When Amber arrived at Qin's office, she had already arrived and was reporting to Qin.

Lisa was sitting by the window.

Upon seeing the two fly in, Qin cast a glance at them, first gesturing to Su Chen, and then stood up to greet them.

"Traveler, thank you for repelling the wind dragon and protecting Mondstadt."

Amber had already told her about Ying's identity.

"It's nothing," Ying said with a smile.

When she's serious, Yingmei is a kind and easy-going girl.

Qin expressed her gratitude a few more times, and then the topic suddenly changed.

"Although it's a bit rushed, the Knights are facing a problem that we have to solve... Traveler, could you please help us?" Jean said sincerely. "The dragon scourge in Mondstadt has been going on for a long time. We have now discovered the source of the chaos in Mondstadt's ley lines, but considering the manpower shortage, we would like to ask for your help."

Ying and Paimon exchanged a glance.

The latter asked in confusion, "Isn't the Knights supposed to be the force that protects Mondstadt? How come they're short-handed?"

Amber said, "Because the Grand Master took most of the people on an expedition, only a small number of knights remained in Mondstadt."

"So that's how it is... But why did that dragon attack Mondstadt?"

“We want to know the answer to that question too.” Jean shook her head regretfully. “Unfortunately, half a year has passed, and we still don’t know why Dvalin did that. You probably don’t know that Dvalin… was once one of the Four Winds Wardens of Mondstadt.”

The wolf of the North Wind, the eagle of the West Wind, the lion of the South Wind, and the dragon of the East Wind.

The Four Guardians of Mondstadt.

Among them, the titles of wolf and lion can be inherited, such as those of the young wolf Rustan and the lion of light, Erendel.

The current Wolf and Lion are respectively Grand Master Falgar and Qin.

The West Wind Eagle refers to the Knights of the West, while the East Wind Dragon refers to Dvalin.

"Oh, I see. So, Dvalin, who once protected Mondstadt, suddenly started attacking Mondstadt for some reason?" Paimon scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. "Then why don't you ask Su Chen?"

Qin asked suspiciously, "Ask Su Chen?"

"Yes, didn't he study animal language at the Sumeru Academy? He can communicate with Dvalin."

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"

Su Chen, who was drinking tea, choked on his tea.

Sensing the strange looks from the others in the room, Su Chen cleared his throat and said, "I know a little bit, but it's still too difficult to communicate with Dvalin."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lisa sitting opposite him casting an inquiring glance at him.

Lisa: Teacher, how come I didn't know that the Academy of Teachings had an animal linguistics program?

The school of thought that studies biology in the Academy is the school of thought that focuses on biological theories, but they don't teach animal language there.

Besides, Su Chen is clearly a sage of the Su Lun School.

Su Chen: Don't ask, it's just a research project.

People study Hilichurl languages, so what's wrong with him studying animal languages?

Jean didn't say anything, but instead said, "According to our research, the reason why Dvalin was able to stir up storms throughout Mondstadt was actually by borrowing the power of the Temple of the Four Winds. As long as we can cut off the power circulation in these three locations, the problem of the chaotic ley lines will naturally be solved."

Disruptions to the earth's ley lines can cause weather changes and monster uprisings.
