Chapter 98 Battle for Freedom
However, the traveler thought that the old place Wendy was talking about was next to the Seven Heavenly Gods Statue in Fengqidi. When the two came here, they found that it was not here. Kong knew that Wendy could only go to one place.
That’s right, it was the statue of the God of Wind in Mond Square where he often sang, and he had no choice but to run back with Paimon.
Sure enough, when the two came under the statue, they could see Wendy sitting on the statue's hand.
Paimon is fine, as he can fly up directly, but our travelers can only climb up stupidly.
Wendy: Finally you're here.
Paimon: Oh! It's so hard to find! Don't play such a riddle next time! By the way, singer, did you get the wine?
When Wendy heard Paimon ask her this, she felt a little helpless. She thought it was some precious wine, but she didn't expect it to be apple wine.
Wendy: I got it. Jack said it was a "precious and precious wine"... but it turned out to be only half a bottle of apple wine.
After saying this, Wendy looked down and sighed.
Wendy: Oh, I miss it so much. When I first saw the scenery here, I wasn’t like this.
Kong was a little confused. Aren't demons born with the ability to transform? How could this not be the case?
Sora: Not... like this?
Wendy: About 2,600 years ago, before the Seven Gods took over the world, Old Mondstadt was surrounded by a hurricane raised by the tyrant, and even birds were not allowed to pass through.
[Qin: Lord Barbatos, are you going to talk about Mondstadt's history? ]
[Lisa: That should be the case, after all, we are talking about Old Mondstadt.]
[Barbara: I seem to remember that Old Mondstadt is now the Wind Dragon Ruins.]
Paimon: "Old Mondstadt"? Ah, now I remember, it's the current Wind Dragon Ruins, you mentioned it before!
[Albedo: Well, that place was previously called the Wind Dragon Ruins. Since Ms. Alice entered, it has become the Wind Dragon Ruins. ]
[Klee: Ah! Mom has been in there? Brother Albedo, is there anything fun in there? Are there any fish?]
[Albedo: Klee, no, Ms. Alice just went in to take a look. ]
【Klee: Oh! I thought there were fish. 】
Wendy: Yes. The Tyrant of Wind who once ruled that tower was Dekalapian, the "Devil of Tornado". At that time, I was just a wisp of wind among thousands of winds. I had no godly qualities, nor a human form... I was just a tiny elemental spirit in the wind, a wisp of wind that "could bring a small turnaround and hope".
Paimon understood the meaning of Wendy's words and began to wonder what Wendy was like before, but he couldn't think of anything, so he had to ask Wendy.
Paimon: Just an elemental spirit? Not a humanoid? Huh? Wendy, didn't you look like this before?
Wendy: Well, my current appearance is actually the same as that fake Mr. Stanley, I am borrowing the name of a "friend".
Just after Wendy said this, the video began to change.
Wendy: The story I want to tell begins in "Old Mondstadt".
In the video, you can see a gap in a chess piece in a piece of cloth-like image. There is a black figure in the gap, and only his side can be seen.
Anyone who knows Wendy can see that it is the same as his profile.
Wendy: In that country ruled by a tyrant, I met a young man who knew how to play the piano and was looking for his own poems.
The piece of cloth-like image was cut from right to left by a green beam of light.
The originally black figure was also painted with colors after being cut open.
Now, anyone who has seen Wendy can see that he is exactly the same as him. Just as Wendy himself said, he is now using the appearance of a friend.
[Barbara: Didn't expect this to happen? Lord Barbatos, you must have been very sad over the years! Do you like drinking just to forget all this after getting drunk? Lord Barbatos, when will you come back? I will never disturb you drinking again! ]
[Wendy: (Ah? I’m not that upset! It’s been thousands of years, I’ve let it go a long time ago. But it’s good this way, I can go back to Mondstadt, hehe.)]
Wendy: But he was born in a wind wall and has never seen the blue sky.
Everyone could see from the video the strong wind surrounding the tall tower.
Wendy: "I want to see the birds flying." The boy's eyes were stubborn and shining. But his voice was drowned out by the whistling wind. Because the tornado only collected the hymns and left no other sounds.
Then different pictures were turned over one by one, with different scenery. One of them was Wendy's friend and a little wind elf.
[Barbara: Hmm~ Is that what Lord Barbatos originally looked like? It's so cute. ]
[Amber: Yes! I didn’t expect the Wind God to be so cute before. I really want to hug him! ]
Wendy: The real sky, the poetry and songs outside the cage... Aren't they wishes worth fighting for? So the boy invited me: "Come with me - crush the tyrant and tear open the wind wall."
When Wendy said this, a picture scroll unfolded, showing exactly the posture that Wendy's friend had when he invited him.
[Barbara: Ah! Is this Master Barbatos' friend? They look exactly alike. The harp he's holding is the prototype of the Sky Harp.]
[Wendy: Congratulations Barbara, you got it right. The weapon I made was inspired by my friend's piano.]
[Barbara: Ah! ! The Wind God finally came out. ]
The scene changed and a war appeared in the video. The rebels attacked the tower, and Wendy and her friends were at the front.
Wendy: The young man started the game of rebellion, and I also joined the war for "freedom". Those who broke through the cage won all the way, causing the throne of God to collapse, thousands of winds to swirl, and all countries to shake.
From the dilapidated tower in the video, we can tell that they won the war.
On the final battlefield, there were not only various weapons, some good, some broken, but the most attractive thing on the battlefield was a piano that had been destroyed by one third.
Wendy: In the smoke we witnessed the death of the tyrant, in the ashes we witnessed the collapse of the tower.
Next to the broken piano, Wendy's friend fell into the arms of a red-haired man after being shot by an arrow.
The wind elf next to him must have been very sad and didn't dare to look at him.
[Kaeya: Oh, this red-haired girl looks familiar! Right, Grandpa Diluk?]
【Qin: Yes! It should be the ancestor of the senior.】
[Diluk: Isn't it natural that our family members look alike? ]
Wendy: Thus, the beginning of "New Mondstadt" - from then on, no one has ever sat on the throne again.
Wendy stopped talking here and didn't continue. However, Paimon was impatient and asked again.
Paimon: What happened next? What happened to that friend you mentioned?
