Chapter 431: Rushing to Mondstadt
Dainsleb was keenly aware of the look Lin Feng was shooting at him. That look was like a thorn in his back, which made him feel a little disdainful. Humph, although this person exudes the power of the abyss, in his opinion, it is nothing more than that. He is just an ordinary mortal who accidentally came into contact with the abyss and was lucky enough to have the Eye of God. What is there to care about?
Kong looked at Lin Feng like this, feeling helpless. It was like a tangled mess, and he couldn't sort it out. He didn't know why, but he could always clearly sense Lin Feng's undisguised hostility towards Dainsleb. Although Dainsleb was indeed annoying sometimes, and exuded a cold aura that kept people away from him, it wouldn't be enough to make Lin Feng so confrontational.
The night was like a huge piece of black silk, silently covering the earth. Several people were still struggling on the winding road. The moonlight sprinkled on the road, like a layer of silver frost, but this beautiful scenery did not relieve Lin Feng's inner fatigue. At this time, he was already miserable.
"Why are you still walking?" Lin Feng couldn't help himself and shouted loudly. The sound spread far in the silent night and startled the birds perched on the roadside trees. "We have been traveling non-stop for a whole day. Aren't you all so strong that you don't want to take a rest?"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Paimon turned his head weakly, and his small body swayed as he turned his head, like a leaf swaying in the wind. "It's really late, and I feel so tired too." Paimon said, his eyes full of sleepiness, and his eyelids were almost drooping. At this point, Paimon looked at Kong with hope, and his eyes were like a drowning person seeing a life-saving straw.
"Let's find a place to rest here, what do you think?" Paimon's voice was soft, revealing an irresistible pitifulness.
After noticing Paimon's gaze, Kong felt helpless. This little girl, once she got stubborn, was like a stubborn calf. He really couldn't do anything with her. Besides, it was already late at night, with the bright moon hanging high in the sky and the surroundings quiet and silent. It was indeed time to rest. So Kong sighed helplessly, and that breath was like a breeze blowing by, with a little fatigue.
“Okay, then let’s find a flat place to rest and set off again tomorrow morning.” Kong’s voice echoed in the night, with an unquestionable calmness.
After hearing what Kong said, Dainsleb also slowly stopped. He actually wanted to continue moving forward alone, like a lone wolf, traveling alone in the darkness. But he knew in his heart that without Kong's identity as an honorary knight, many things would become extremely difficult.
In Mondstadt, the title of Honorary Knight is like a master key that can open many closed doors. Without it, the investigation will encounter countless difficulties, just like struggling through thorns. So, after weighing the pros and cons, he still has to go with them.
After making all the arrangements, Lin Feng collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud. The night breeze blew gently, like a mother's gentle hand, gently caressing his face, making him feel very comfortable. At this moment, all the fatigue seemed to be gently taken away by the breeze. He couldn't help thinking that it must be said that this kind of life where you can occasionally stop and enjoy nature is really something that makes people yearn for. How nice it would be if I could always be so carefree and away from those troubles, just like a free bird, flying freely in the vast sky.
Time passed quietly in sleep. After a night, the morning sun was like a golden thread, gently sprinkled on the earth. The next day, several people set out on the journey again, and they kept on going all day without a break. The scorching sun hung high in the sky, like a big fireball, scorching the earth. The figures of several people were stretched out in the sun, like an ancient painting.
Finally, before nightfall, they had walked about three-quarters of the way. At night, Lin Feng lay on the ground, looking at the starry sky, his thoughts involuntarily drifting back to everything that happened during the day. He sighed softly, feeling helpless. What the hell was going on? The hardships and twists and turns along the way were like a long nightmare that could not be shaken off.
Judging from the time, we should be able to reach our destination tomorrow afternoon. However, when Lin Feng thought about continuing to travel like this, he felt extremely tired. It was a kind of fatigue from both body and mind, as if all the strength in the body had been drained, leaving only an empty shell. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was necessary to find a means of transportation. If there was a means of transportation, no matter what he was going to do, it would be easier. At least it was not like now, relying entirely on his own legs to measure the earth step by step, which was really uncomfortable. No matter how you look at it, this does not match the cool image he imagined.
On the third day, early in the morning, as soon as the light of dawn illuminated the sky, the group set out again. Along the way, they hurried, as if racing against time. Finally, around two o'clock in the afternoon, they saw the familiar outline of Mondstadt in the distance.
As soon as they entered Mondstadt, they walked straight towards West Wind Cathedral without stopping, like a group of soldiers heading to the battlefield. The buildings on both sides of the street were scattered and the red tiles on the roofs shone warmly in the sun, as if telling the story of this city.
Lin Feng looked at everything around him, and couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart. When he left, this place had suffered great damage, with broken walls and ruins everywhere. But now, after such a short time, it has been restored to its original state. Those once broken bricks and stones have now been rebuilt into solid houses; the once withered trees have now sprouted green buds, as if this city has a tenacious vitality that can quickly heal the pain and regain vitality.
After walking onto Mondstadt Square, Dainsreb's eyes first fell on the huge statue standing in the center of the square. The statue towered into the clouds, emitting a sacred glow under the sunlight, as if overlooking everything in the world. Then, he moved his eyes to the church behind it. The church was magnificent, with a spire piercing the sky and exquisite carvings on the walls that were lifelike. Dainsreb snorted coldly, and the sound was full of disdain and ridicule, like a cold wind in a cold night.
"The huge statue and the magnificent church. The people of Mond must have spent a huge amount of resources and energy to build them. The mountains of stone and the countless hours of work are all concentrated in these two buildings. But how much did the God of Wind feel when he received this gift, and how much did he give back?" Dainsreb's voice echoed in the square with a hint of questioning, as if to break the long-standing tranquility.
After listening to what Dainsleib said, Paimon tilted his head and thought for a while, looking like a little scholar who was thinking about a difficult problem.
