Chapter 548 Final preparations
Speaking of Barbatos and Diakrapian, the relationship between two famous demons in Mondstadt's history.
Most people would say: enemies.
This is the conclusion reached by the people of Mond based on history.
Lord Barbatos led the rebels to overthrow the rule of the Lone King of the Tower, so the two were naturally enemies rather than friends.
However, only those who are above the level of Demon God know that the two are both enemies and have a relationship of inheritance.
When the lonely king of the tower was defeated, he followed the advice of his "best friend" Phemix and gave all his strength to a weak wind elf.
The wind elf transformed from a weak being, and in an instant grew into a demon god who controls the element of wind, leading the people of Mondstadt to embrace freedom.
The wind elves named their demon god Barbatos.
Later, the Wolf King Andrius gave up his body and slept in the earth as a soul, and Barbatos became the only demon god in Mondstadt.
It was only natural that he became the wind god that governed Mondstadt.
Therefore, it is safe to say that it was the power of Diocletian that brought the wind god, who represents freedom and poetry, into the world.
Therefore, the relationship between Barbatos and Diakarabian, and between Wendy and Rin cannot be summarized in a simple sentence.
They are both the rebel and the rebelled, the hero and the dragon, the two sides of the wind, and the inheritor and the successor.
Without Diekarapian, there would be no Barbatos today; but without Barbatos, there would be no Mond today.
Such a complicated relationship always lingers between the two demons.
There is no way to undo this.
Such a complicated relationship resulted in Wendy being like a mouse seeing a cat when she met Rin.
The other party was Wendy's former nightmare and also the person Wendy needed to thank the most. He was both afraid and in awe of him.
Even now, Wendy's power is higher than Rin's.
But Wendy will never attack Rin, simply because he is his creator. Out of gratitude, Wendy will not attack Rin.
Lin also has the same complicated emotions towards Wendy.
She didn't hate Wendy for overthrowing her rule, that was her own choice;
Nor would she mind Wendy sitting on the coveted throne of the Seven Ruling Gods of the Earth, because she had delivered it to them with her own hands.
Rin just couldn't stand Wendy's laziness.
She gave her power to Barbatos and entrusted Mond to him.
However, Barbatos used the power she gave him and turned a blind eye to the dangerous factors that endangered Mondstadt.
Even though she knew there was a reason for it, Rin still thought that Wendy's behavior was not good, so she got angry.
Especially when he was most angry, he saw Wendy was intoxicated by the angel's gift, which made Lin even more angry.
Wendy and Rin have such a relationship.

Liyue, Liyue Harbor, three bowls and you won’t be able to cross the harbor.
[In the blink of an eye, it’s the last part of the story. 】
【Thinking about it carefully, I still feel a little reluctant. 】
[Don't be reluctant. The storyline of Liyue Harbor is over, but isn't there still the storyline of our return? ]
[Personally, I feel that the plot of this year's Return and Separation episode may just be a simple gathering to eat New Year's Eve dinner, nothing to watch.]
[It’s warm and cozy, but making dumplings every year is not fun. Oh, I’m just saying it, miHoYo, don’t take it seriously.]
[The ordinary is the truth, and this is also good. 】
Paimon and Ying were walking on the street, chatting about what they saw yesterday.
"I never thought that Wendy and Rin would have this kind of relationship..."
Thinking back to the news he heard from Xiao Junbai yesterday, Paimeng still felt it was unreal.
Ying nodded in approval:
"Yeah, from what the Mond people said, I thought the relationship between them would be awkward."
"I didn't expect it to be like this..."
When having dinner at Guili's House yesterday, Lin looked at Wendy with a look of disappointment.
Then Wendy was like a mouse seeing a cat.
When Ying thought of that scene, she found it funny and unbelievable at the same time.
In theory, these two people are like water and fire, but in reality, they get along so well.
If the people of Mondstadt saw this, they would find it hard to believe.
Hmm... not right. It would be difficult enough to convince the people of Mondstadt that Wendy was the wind god Barbatos.
Make the people of Mondstadt believe that Rin is the "Lonely King of the Tower"...
This will only become more difficult.
After all, even Ying had a preconceived notion that the "Lonely King in the Tower" was a cold and cruel man at the beginning.
And Rin...
She looks like a beautiful woman with a cold face and a good figure, and the word "tyrant" has nothing to do with her.
Rin explained:
"Initially I chose this image because I didn't want to represent any gender, so as to break away from the shackles of gender."
"Later, I found that I couldn't make people believe my identity by approaching people in human form, so I had to change to another way."
"Although my original intention of transforming into this appearance was not realized, I have no intention of changing."
[So, were you a woman at heart from the beginning, or have you been dressing like a woman for too long? ]
[I think it's a bit of both. Do you want such a beautiful woman to be a cross-dresser? ]
[I automatically choose to ignore these words. As long as I don't know, Miss Lin will always be my only queen. ]
[Actually, it was a female who had an abortion, right? 】
[Female degenerate? That's really harsh. We demon gods have never had the concept of gender since the beginning! ]
[Trivia: In Bai Ge’s voice, he once said that in front of Yiya, he was both a father and a mother, so he seriously considered whether to become Bai Jie...]
Paimon also recalled the same words and said helplessly: "How free and easy! She is exactly the same as Wendy in this respect."
"They all have the nature of wind."
"After all, they are all demon gods that control the element of wind." Ying smiled, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go find Zhongli as soon as possible."
"Yeah, that's right!" Paimon nodded, "We'll be meeting up with Keqing and Shenhe soon, so we need to discuss this with Zhongli."
"After all, we're going to persuade Keqing to have a good rest soon, so we have to prepare in advance."
"It just so happens that we have collected some ideas about "rest" along the way. I hope they can come in handy."

Note 1
For details, please see the end of Chapter 198 - The solitary king of the tower holds the contemporary wind god in one hand. Is this a moral decline or...
Sorry, I'm a little wet today because I had dinner a little late, so I started writing late as well.
This can be seen from the release time of my other book.
