Chapter 822: The Tortured Wendy
At the same time, in a room of the Knights.
Barbara was tied tightly to the bed, her eyes bloodshot.
Ever since the church was burned down by Shao Yun, the statue was blown up by Shao Yun, and Mr. Albert was killed by Shao Yun, Barbara's spiritual world completely collapsed.
Now, there was only one thought circling in her mind.
She must defend her beliefs and take revenge on Shao Yun, who blasphemed the wind god Barbatos!
"Let me go!" Barbara screamed at the top of her lungs, struggling desperately to break free from the ropes that bound her.
Rosalia, who was taking care of Barbara, was so overwhelmed and exhausted when she saw how crazy she was.
She sighed helplessly and said, "Barbara, calm down! Don't be so impulsive. You have completely lost your mind!"
However, Barbara simply did not listen to Rosalia's advice. She continued to struggle madly as if possessed by a demon, shouting:
"Let me go! I want to fight the guy who blasphemed Lord Barbatos..."
Just then, the door of the room opened and Noelle walked in, supporting Qin.
Qin covered her aching abdominal wound, forced herself to cheer up, looked at her almost crazy sister Barbara, and consoled her distressedly: "Sister, calm down..."
Barbara looked at Qin and wilted. Then she shed tears and sobbed as she asked, "Sister, why... Lord Barbatos didn't answer my prayers."
"The church was burned down, the statue was destroyed, why hasn't the Lord of Wind appeared yet..."
Qin didn't know how to answer, so she just gently called Barbara "sister".
"younger sister……"
Barbara felt like she was having a real nightmare. Why hadn't she woken up yet?
"Why would Shao Yun want to blaspheme Mond's spirit? We didn't offend him. He had fought against the Abyss Army and saved Mond,"
Qin tried not to irritate Barbara and explained tactfully: "If you were kidnapped, I would do the same thing as Mr. Shao Yun..."
"Although I may not be as crazy as Mr. Shao Yun, I will definitely save you at all costs..."
Barbara couldn't believe it, and it was impossible that the God of Wind would kidnap someone else's wife and daughter. In her mind, the God of Wind couldn't be so "despicable".
"Lord Barbatos will not kidnap Ying and Paimon. Shao Yun is lying. He is a lunatic. He is a lunatic..."
Qin watched as Barbara became agitated again, and couldn't help but feel helpless and bitter.
Didn't she also want Shao Yun to be a real lunatic?
That way, everything would be much simpler.
But the truth is so cruel. The God of Wind kidnapped the daughter of Ying, Paimon and Shao Yun. She and Noelle saw and heard it with their own eyes and ears!
"If only he were really crazy..." Qin muttered to herself.
However, reality is reality, and no matter how much she hopes Shao Yun is a lunatic, she cannot change what has happened.
……
At this moment, Dain took Kaeya and left Mondstadt in the wind and snow.
When Dain brought Kaeya to Sora, Jiliu beside Sora could no longer sit still.
He widened his eyes and shouted at Dain, "Dain! You are so bold! You even brought the Mond people here. Are you going to tip off the God of Wind next?"
He was obviously very dissatisfied with Dain's behavior, thinking that he was betraying the Abyss Cult, although he had never joined the Abyss Cult.
Then, Jiliu knelt on one knee and pleaded with Kong: "Your Highness, the traitor has jumped out, and it is Dain! We must kill him once and for all!"
However, facing Jiliu's accusations and requests, Dain seemed unusually calm.
This is like a palace fight, so boring, even Yuanshang doesn't play like this...
He looked at the Abyss Apostle Torrent, who was cursing, expressionlessly, and said without any emotion: "If you can't straighten your tongue, shut up!"
Sora frowned as he looked at Kaia, the cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius led by Dain, and asked straight to the point, "Daiin, are you going to challenge me?"
Kaiya knew that he needed to introduce himself now.
He took a step forward, bowed slightly to Sora, and then said slowly, "Hello, I'm Kaia Alberridge. I'm sure you're familiar with this last name."
When Sora heard the last name "Alberich", a memory from hundreds of years ago immediately came to mind.
At that time, he and Dain met Clodal, the founder of the Abyss Cult in Xumi, and Clodal was the surname of Alberic.
"Alberich? Are you the descendant of Clodal?" Kong narrowed his eyes and looked at Kaia carefully. He did find some similarities between him and Clodal.
Facing Sora's scrutiny, Kaia showed no fear. He met Sora's gaze calmly and answered without arrogance or servility, "I don't know. I only know that I am from Kanria."
Kong nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. He didn't want to dwell on this issue any more, so he asked directly, "What do you want to do?"
Kaia said bluntly, "I already know everything about the Wind God kidnapping the Honor Knight, Paimon, and Shao Yun's daughter."
"However, doing so will not bring any benefits to Mond..."
Kong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he tried his best to suppress his inner anger and said, "My only request is for my sister and niece to return safely."
"As long as my blood relatives are still controlled by the God of Wind, I will never stop the wind and snow in Mondstadt!"
"If Fengshen dares to return to Mondstadt alone now, I will fight him to the death! At worst, we can die together!"
Seeing this, Kaeya made the next best option and used his negotiation skills to continue asking, "So, strictly speaking, the entire Mondstadt has now become a hostage for you to threaten the God of Wind?"
Sora was silent for a moment, but finally nodded.
To some extent, this is true.
Seeing that Sora had acknowledged the situation, Kaeya took advantage of the situation and explained, "Since we Mond have become hostages of the Abyss Cult, we must not die."
"If Mond is destroyed in this snowstorm now, you and the Wind God will be completely at odds, right?"
"Your goal is to bring the Honor Knight and her child back safely. There's no need to make things so desperate that no one can save themselves."
Kong looked at the other party with an expressionless face as he came to complain, and said unhappily: "Hasn't Dain been helping you escort the caravan and providing you with supplies? Isn't that enough?"
Kaeya shook his head slowly and began to advise Sora, "This is not a virtuous cycle. I think we need to take some other measures to improve the current situation."
Sora looked at Kaia coldly, not interested in his proposal.
"I don't want to..."
Seeing this, Kaiya quickly continued, "Wait a minute, don't be so heartless, I suggest that we can..."
However, Sora didn't want to listen to Kaeya's advice at all, and ruthlessly interrupted him and said:
"I can only promise not to interfere with Dyne's little tricks, but as for Mondstadt's situation, it all depends on your own luck."
"Or, you can take a gamble and see whether Mond is more important to the Wind God or Nata is more important in his heart."
Listening to Kong's words, which were colder than the wind and snow, Kaeya wanted to persuade him again. Even if the snowstorm stopped for a week or a day, it would greatly reduce Mond's burden!
"But……"
"But..." Before Kaeya could finish his words, Sora had completely lost his patience.
He turned around, his back to Kaiya, and said resolutely: "Okay, there is nothing to worry about. Jiliu, get out!"
……
At the same time, the Fog Sea Islands were still shrouded in a thick layer of fog late at night.
In this isolated place, Ying and Paimon were sitting by the fire next to the tent, with only the sound of the flames jumping and the occasional sound of waves hitting the shore.
Ying held her daughter in her arms, who had just finished drinking milk and was sleeping peacefully in her warm arms. She gently stroked her daughter's hair, her eyes full of love and tenderness.
Paimon stood aside, keeping an eye on Wendy not far away.
Wendy was suffering from great pain at the moment. His ears were constantly filled with the prayers and cries of the Mond people, and these sounds continued to torment his soul.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he covered his ears tightly with his hands, trying to block out the horrible sounds, but it was all in vain.
Finally, at this moment, Wendy once again could no longer bear the whispers in his ears, and his spirit completely collapsed.
He fell to his knees, hugged his head tightly, and let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"what!"
Paimon looked at Wendy who was in a desperate state, and instead of having any sympathy, he showed an expression of disgust.
She said harshly, "Wendy, what's wrong with you? Are you going to die? If you want to die, stay away from us! Don't be an eyesore here!"
Wendy raised his head in pain, his eyes were bloodshot and tears were welling up in his sockets.
He explained in a trembling voice: "I heard it. The wind brought the prayers of the Mond people to my ears. I heard the wailing of those creatures in the wind and snow... I can't bear it anymore..."
However, Paimon had no interest in Wendy's explanation. She still had that look of disgust on her face, and even sneered, "You deserve it!"
"You bastard, you kidnapped us! Do you know how hard it is for Ying and I to take care of the baby every day? You still have the nerve to act pitiful here!"
There was indeed nothing wrong with what Paimeng said. Ying's daughter had just turned one month old and needed meticulous care.
Ying's body was weak after giving birth, and now she couldn't get any rest at all.
Paimeng is a "little baby" herself, but she also tries her best to share Ying's pressure.
However, no matter how hard they tried, it was only the two of them, with insufficient parenting experience (they had never expected Wendy to tie them up, and had not learned much parenting experience), who had to take care of the hungry baby. The hardship involved was naturally self-evident!
As for asking Wendy to help, that's simply a huge joke.
As long as Wendy dared to approach "Xi", Paimon would pounce on him without hesitation and bite him hard.
After all, for Paimeng, "Xi" is her darling "sister". After eating so much food from Shao Yun and Ying, she has to contribute too!
On the side, although Wendy was in great pain, he still endured the pain and expressed his concern for the child to Ying.
"Excuse me, how are your kids doing?"
Paimon showed no appreciation for Wendy's concern, and even stuck out his tongue in disgust, then cursed viciously: "What does good or bad have to do with you! You bastard, why didn't Shao Yun kill you!"
Facing Paimon's insults, Wendy was not angry. He just lowered his head silently and kept repeating that cheap apology.
"sorry."
He knew he was in the wrong, so he had no room for rebuttal.
Ying held her child "Xi" in her arms and looked at Wendy with a numb expression.
After a while, she slowly advised Paimon: "Okay, Paimon, stop scolding Wendy. It's useless."
Then, Ying gently stroked Xi's little face and said softly, "Don't wake the child up... I'm afraid Shao Yun, who is far away in Nata, will be anxious because of the mysterious connection between father and daughter..."
Wendy clenched her fists and said angrily, "I don't want to hurt you...you can trust me."
Ying looked at Wendy without any emotion and said numbly: "Do you think I would believe it? The moment you snatched my child from me and threatened Shao Yun, do you think I could still trust you?"
Wendy said in torment: "I don't know how many times I have explained this to you. No matter how many times I have to go back in time, I will choose to do this!"
"Shao Yun will never let you go to Nata after you give birth to the child. By the time you have recovered and the child can walk, Nata will have been destroyed."
"Then, a dark disaster will begin from Nata, radiate to the surroundings, and destroy Teyvat!"
"Then the disaster of Kanreya will be repeated. There is nothing I can do!"
Ying was so tired of hearing Wendy's words that she asked, "So, do you want to trade one country for another? Have you thought about the future?"
Wendy had thought about what would happen in the future if he did this, but time was not on his side and he had no choice.
"I'm sorry Mond, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for everything...but I really have no other choice..."
"It was Shao Yun. He fell in love with the wrong person... No, it was his 'desire' that brought us to this tense situation!"
Ying listened to him criticizing her marriage again, and her annoyance grew stronger.
Especially when Wendy put all the blame on Shao Yun, Ying could no longer bear it. She turned her head away abruptly, not wanting to see this annoying guy again.
"You don't really treat me sincerely at all, you just treat me as a tool!" Ying's voice was full of anger and disappointment, "You have been deceiving me all along!"
"I believe you would tell me about my brother, but you didn't! It was Shao Yun who helped me realize my wish. Although it was only for seven days, I had a very happy time!"
After saying that, Ying hugged the child in her arms and walked straight into the tent without looking back.
"Okay, stop making noise, I want to sleep... The baby woke up in the middle of the night, and I still need to feed him..."
"That's right, I still have to change my 'sister's' diaper." Paimon muttered as he followed Ying into the tent.
She really didn't want to see Wendy's annoying face again.
The tent curtain was drawn, isolating Wendy from the outside.
He stood there blankly, looking at the closed tent, enduring the prayers of the believers beside him, and muttered to himself:
"I'm sorry, I have no choice, I have no way..."
