The ember thought back to the past. At that time, Solar had just died, and he saw the green light emerging from a pile of burnt ashes.
So he felt that he should also become that pile of ashes.
Chapter 193 Advice to Ying
2023-09-25
"By the way, what were you talking about just now?" Paimeng couldn't wait to ask after walking out of the arena.
After the battle between Yu Jin and Wendy ended, they talked for a long time. Paimon, who was curious about everything, had been itching to try it out for a long time.
"What else could it be? We were just discussing poetry." Yu Jin spread his hands to indicate that they didn't do anything.
"Ah? You guys are still talking about poetry?" Paimon's eyes widened and she exclaimed. She never thought that Wendy and Yu Jin had been talking for so long just to discuss poetry.
"Uh..., actually, it's not wrong to say that." Wendy scratched her head. Was that really a discussion?
But since Ember said so, it was difficult for Wendy to refute.
"I didn't expect you to have artistic talent?" Paimon flew around Ember, seeming to be quite shocked that Ember could say a few words in poetry.
"What do you mean? Are you looking down on people?" Yu Jin knocked on Paimon's head. At such a young age, instead of learning good things, he learned to look down on people?
"No! It's just that you don't look like you can write poetry." Paimon covered his head and ran behind Ying.
Yu Jin clearly said that she was stupid and hit her on the head. Wasn't he trying to make her even more stupid?
"Haha, who told you, Paimon, to speak without any reservation?" When Ying saw Paimon's deflated look, instead of comforting her, she laughed.
To be honest, she also likes to tease Paimon because it's fun.
Chatting and laughing, everyone walked all the way from the Thousand Winds Temple to the place where the winds rose.
The leaves of the huge oak tree in the distance trembled slightly, and countless breezes blew in. The Wind Rising Place, as if its name really meant, was the origin of the Mondstadt breeze.
"Hey, Ying, I wrote a poem for you, do you want to go to the windy place and listen to it?" Wendy looked at the big oak tree. After saying that, she jumped and ran towards the huge oak tree in the distance.
Ying nodded thoughtfully. She looked at everyone and asked, "Do you want to listen together? I guess Wendy has been writing for a long time."
After hearing this, Yu Jin patted Ying's shoulder, took out two pieces of cotton and handed them to her, saying, "When you feel too embarrassed to bear it, just put these in your ears. Don't embarrass yourself."
"Okay... okay, thank you, senior." Ying took the cotton handed to her by Yujin and her eyelids twitched. Is Wendy's poetry so great?
"Bye, good luck to you." Yu Jin waved to Ying and left.
"I can't. The dragon disaster has been completely eliminated, and the Knights have more affairs to deal with. I have to go back and arrange everything."
It was a good thing that the dragon disaster was resolved, but there were still many things to do. Inform all villages and towns, resume foreign trade, and clear the roads.
Qin felt overwhelmed just thinking about it and wanted to fly back to the office and start working immediately.
Qin looked in the direction where Wendy left, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. It was a pity that she had no chance to hear the song of the God of Wind.
But she soon cheered up. In Qin's heart, fulfilling her duties and listening to the singing of the God of Wind were the two things that were more important.
Anyway, Wendy won't leave Mond for a while, so at worst she can just go to the tavern and listen when she has some free time.
"Don't look at me. That bard performs most often in my tavern. I guess his singing is the one I listen to the most."
Diluk felt Ying's gaze and shook his head. As he said, Wendy spent the most time performing in various taverns, especially in Angel's Gift.
Before Diluke knew Venti's true identity, he had seen Venti show off her singing skills many times.
To be honest, his singing was not very good, almost the same as that of Six-Fingered Joseph, another bard in the tavern.
"Okay, in that case, I'll go alone." Ying saw that no one wanted to go, so she just took Paimeng and walked towards Fengqidi.
As for Lance Shanks and Tevarin? They had already flown away. It seemed that Tevarin said he had learned to breathe fire and wanted to show Lance Shanks.
"Lord Barbatos..."
"Let's go. As a human being, it's better not to get involved in the affairs of gods."
Diluk patted Qin's shoulder and turned away. He was not as devout in his belief in the God of Wind as Qin was, and was not that interested in the stories between gods.
Qin nodded and left. Diluk was right. It was better not to get involved in the affairs of the gods.
……
The wind blew and Wendy was bathed in a faint green light, looking sacred and peaceful.
"The wind between the trees is very nice, I like it very much." Wendy felt Ying's arrival, turned around and said with a smile.
"It's a very fresh scent, it feels good." Ying took a deep breath, and the cool breeze seemed to carry away the filth in her body, making her feel refreshed.
"So, the power you used before was from the Heart of God, right? Then tell me what it is?" Ying stared at Wendy with burning eyes. She couldn't afford to be careless when it came to God and her brother.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to know the Heart of God?" Wendy looked surprised. But after the surprise, he touched his chin and sighed slightly and said:
"Well... this isn't something I should discuss with ordinary people, but since you already know about it, it's not overstepping the bounds to tell you in secret."
Wendy lowered his arm from touching his chin, and with a rare serious look on his face, he said, "You should know about [Eye of God], right?"
Ying nodded. Although the owners of the Eye of God were rare, she had seen quite a few of them over the past period of time.
"In fact, every owner of the Eye of God has the qualifications to become a god. Therefore, they are also called [Original Gods] and have the qualifications to board the Sky Island."
After Wendy finished speaking, she looked up at the floating island looming in the clouds, wondering what she was thinking.
"Genshin? I don't think we have heard of this term before." Paimon looked at Ying and said as if to confirm.
"Of course, this is a secret that only true gods know. As gods, we don't need a primary organ like the Heart of God."
"The Heart of God is the magical organ of God. At the same time, it also resonates with the Sky Island." Wendy touched the dull and colorless Heart of God on her waist and explained further.
"Then your Heart of God..." Ying looked at the dark Heart of God on Wendy's waist and asked worriedly.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. I won't need this in the future anyway." She didn't know if it was Ying's illusion, but she always felt that Wendy seemed to be relieved when she said this.
"But there's a guy who might need it for a while." Wendy seemed to have thought of someone, and an intriguing smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Who is it?" Paimon rubbed his hands, very curious. It was normal for Wendy, a guy who did nothing all day, not to use the Heart of God, because he didn't look like a god at all.
Paimon is very interested in these famous gods!
"It's the god of Mondstadt's neighboring country - the God of Rock. Unlike me, he personally governs the entire territory of Liyue."
"Every year he descends formally to give divine oracles and guide the direction of Liyue. This year's time is almost up."
"Ying, you have to find all seven gods. The journey is extremely difficult. Liyue is one of the few countries where you can easily see gods. If you miss it, you will have to wait another year."
"Wow! Such important news, and you're telling it just now! Ying, let's go!" When Paimeng heard that time was so urgent, he immediately pulled Ying and wanted to set off on the spot.
Although she had no idea how to get to Liyue.
"Wait! A stranger catching the wind!" Wendy spoke immediately when she saw Ying was about to leave.
"Are you talking about me?" Ying looked at Wendy, the divine aura on him rising to its peak.
"Yes." Wendy nodded, and said as if giving a warning or an entrustment:
“Traveler, when you embark on a journey, you must remember the meaning of the journey.”
"The birds, poetry and city-states of Teyvat, the monsters and fools... and even the Seven Gods are all part of your journey."
“Before you reach the end, use your eyes to observe the world more!”
Wendy's eyes were deep, and he looked at Ying as if he saw the future.
Chapter 194 Travel, Girl!
2023-09-26
"Use your eyes to observe the world more." Ying separated from Wendy at Fengqidi and walked on the road to Mondstadt.
Due to the infestation of monsters in Teyvat, if ordinary roads are left unattended, they will be destroyed by monsters in just a few days.
Therefore, most of the roads built in Mondstadt are just compacted dirt roads. Only roads without much human presence can be used for a long time in the wild.
Although there were some potholes on the road, it was not a problem for Ying. She raised her head and carefully observed the scenery near Mond for the first time.
The earth-yellow road under my feet extends into the distance, with lush green grass on both sides of the road.
The Wind Rises is a plain with few mountains and trees, so you can see Mondstadt at the end of the road.
Mondstadt looked a bit blurry because it was so far away. The lower buildings were hidden by the towering city walls, but there were always tall windmill blades and conical roofs that were taller than the city walls, allowing people to get a glimpse of the city's scenery.
Closer, the orange-red windmill daisies stand out in the green field. Together with the light blue dandelions, they form the unique landscape of Mondstadt.
"Romantic and free?" This is the feeling that Mond brought to Ying. Everything she just saw was part of this feeling.
"It does look a lot like that street singer!" Paimon nodded after hearing what Ying said. Mond's characteristics are closely related to Wendy's personality.
"Well, the dragon disaster is over. So when are we going to Liyue?" Paimon looked at the blue sky and stretched.
It felt like the dragon disaster appeared and disappeared like a dream. They didn't have time to do anything before the dragon disaster was solved.
“Going to Liyue... There is still some time before the ceremony of inviting the immortals, and I plan to save up some Mora before going.” Ying said after thinking for a while.
Liyue is the kingdom of the contract and also the most commercially developed country in Teyvat. Mora is a must-have item when going there.
"Save Mora? That's right. I heard that Liyue has the most delicious food among the Seven Kingdoms. With Mora, I can eat to my heart's content!" Paimon almost drooled when he thought of the Liyue delicacies he had heard about.
Seeing Paimon wiping his mouth and grinning, Ying put her hands on her hips and said speechlessly, "Still eating? You ate 300,000 Mora from me last month! If it weren't for you, we could have gone straight to Liyue!"
Although Paimon was small in stature, his appetite was surprisingly large. Every time they ate, Paimon ate more than she did.
"Hehe! There's nothing I can do. There are so many delicious foods in Mondstadt! I can't help it!" Paimon scratched her head embarrassedly. She could endure anything, but she had no resistance to delicious food.
"Eat less! Be careful not to get fat and not be able to fly!" Ying pinched Paimon's face and warned.
"Well..., wish... wish for the sword!" Paimon's little hand grabbed Ying's wrist and responded vaguely.
"That's good to know!" Ying took back her hand and rubbed her fingers. I have to say, it's still very comfortable to pinch Paimon's little face.
It is soft and smooth, and feels like the finest silk.
"Look, I'm pinching you!" When Paimon saw Ying let go of his hand, he immediately flew to her and wanted to pinch Ying's cheek.
But who is Ying? Paimon's little move was seen through by Ying at once. She turned around and dodged Paimon's pounce, and trotted away along the road.
"Hahaha, Paimon is too slow!"
"Damn it! Ying, don't run! I'm going to catch up with you!"
