Thank you for the invitation. He's in heaven now, he's become God.

After saying that, he turned his gaze to the bartender, waiting expectantly for the dandelion wine to arrive.

Those emerald green eyes seemed to gleam, making them look like a cat waiting for its food.

Come to think of it, he seems to be allergic to cats?

"Minors are not allowed to drink!"

However, his expectations were met with such cold words from the bartender named Charles.

"Eh?"

The boy looked distressed.

"I'm an adult now, really!"

"........."

Charles's eyes showed suspicion, clearly indicating disbelief.

"He is indeed an adult!"

Watching Wendy and Charles's exchange, Yawes chuckled and spoke up.

"And he's older than you..."

"...Of course, if you still don't believe me, then bring me a glass of dandelion wine!"

"Hmm, and a cocktail too."

"…Guest, your dandelion liqueur and cocktail."

The green-hatted boy, also known as Barbatos, the wind god of Mondstadt, or Venti, regardless of his age, couldn't possibly refuse Yahweh's offer of wine, could he?

"Thank you, traveler from afar."

As soon as the two glasses of wine were placed on the table, Wendy couldn't wait to pick up the dandelion wine and begin to savor it.

"Dandelion wine requires the processing and brewing of dandelion seeds."

"A specialty of Mondstadt, it has a slightly sweet taste with a lingering aftertaste, and the unique aroma of dandelion. It's a rare and exquisite wine, and I almost don't want to finish it!"

He sighed, then turned his gaze to Yahweh.

"So, you offer me such fine wine because you admire me, the most outstanding bard in the world?"

"After I finish this cup of dandelion wine, I will surely dedicate the most wonderful poem in the world to you!"

"No, I have absolutely no interest in your poetry!"

Upon hearing Wendy's words, Yahweh responded with a blank expression.

"Huh? Isn't that a bit too absolute and cold-hearted?"

Upon hearing Yahweh's answer, Wendy displayed an expression similar to when she first learned that she couldn't drink dandelion wine.

"I care more about your opinion than the poetry itself!"

Yahweh asked softly with a smile on his face.

Chapter 59: Barbatos's Answer

"What do you think?"

Wendy took a sip of the dandelion liqueur, seemingly oblivious to Yahweh's words.

"Thoughts on the Stormterror's calamity,"

Yawes didn't care about Wendy's reaction.

He chuckled as he savored the cocktail in his hand.

"Stormterror and Mondstadt..."

"...And what is your opinion, Barbatos?"

"........."

Wendy's nonchalant expression vanished. He glanced around out of the corner of his eye, and the wind in the tavern began to circulate, distorting and isolating the two from each other.

"Compared to this,"

Wendy's expression remained unchanged, and even his tone did not change in the slightest, but an inexplicable sense of authority emanated from him.

The one communicating with Yahweh at this moment is not the bard Wendy, but Barbatos, one of the Seven Rulers of the Earthly Realm.

What follows is no longer a dialogue between bards and travelers, but a dialogue between gods.

"What is it about Mondstadt that attracts you?"

"Is it the wind and dandelions, or poetry and freedom?"

"A god from another realm!"

Although Barbatos, with his strength, was unable to see through Yahweh's true nature.

However, the difference in temperament between gods and humans is too easy to discern, especially for an ancient deity like him.

“The Dandelion of Mondstadt… it is indeed a lovely little thing…”

In response to Barbatos's question, Yahweh swirled the cocktail glass in his hand, his smile unchanged.

"However, I didn't come here for her this time. I just came to meet a friend I just met and help her out."

"So you were with that traveler..."

Barbatos understood the meaning of Yahweh's words very easily.

"...Did it descend from beyond the stars along with a meteor?"

Upon learning Yahweh's purpose, Barbatos relaxed slightly, and his vigilance dissipated.

After all, the arrival of a god in such a sensitive time in Mondstadt, who doesn't even seem to be a god from another land, Teyvat, is not something to be relaxed about.

Moreover, although they had never actually fought, Wendy could vaguely sense it.

This god from another world... is very powerful!

He might even be more powerful than that old man from Liyue!

Now that he knew his purpose, how could he not feel relieved?

As for the truthfulness of Yahweh's words...

Gods and humans are different. Most demons and gods disdain lying, let alone a powerful god like Yahweh.

"My affairs are irrelevant..."

Yahweh gently shook his head.

"...The people of Mondstadt have forgotten the Sky Dragon that once protected them."

"In the end, the dragon came with a storm and brought calamity upon Mondstadt."

"Should the fools who have forgotten history be punished, or the foolish beasts who have turned their backs on the east wind be put to trial?"

"As the wind god of Mondstadt, Barbatos, what is your view on this matter?"

"...Even the tragic epics that unfolded amidst the storm are now merely stories recorded in books."

Faced with Yahweh's question, Barbatos remained silent for a moment, which was uncharacteristic of him, before answering.

"As for Tvalin..."

"...Dulin's poisonous blood keeps it awake at night, and the evil forces from the abyss control its mind."

"The calamity that befell Mondstadt was not of its own volition."

"It used to be such a gentle child, but now it has become so sad and full of anger..."

"However, even if you say that..."

After hearing Barbatos's words, Yahweh nodded slightly and then continued.

"...The destruction caused by Stormterror...that is, Dvalin, to Mondstadt is a fact, and some people almost died because of it."

"That little guy from the Knights of Favonius has probably already organized a team to hunt down Stormterror."

"Barbatos, how would you handle this situation?"

Yahweh looked at the young god beside him and asked with great interest.

"Should we let them annihilate your family, or..."

Ever since Amber was critically injured and near death by Stormterror, her fate took a completely different turn.

Unlike the storyline in the game, this time the team targeting Stormterror is truly driven by murderous intent.

Torn between the people of Mondstadt and his own family, Barbatos...

What choice will they ultimately make?

Yawey is really interested!

"...Although his body was corroded by Dulin's poisonous blood, Dvalin's power was not reduced much as a result."

In response to Yahweh's question, Barbatos gave his answer.

"The Abyss Order seems to possess some dangerous technology from beyond this world. I was held back by the Abyss Order before, which is why..."

Barbatos explained why he hadn't appeared before Stormterror ravaged Mondstadt.

Although he prefers to let the people of Mondstadt handle Mondstadt's affairs themselves, he will inevitably intervene if development goes too far.

It was because of the Abyss Order's obstruction that he missed his chance to act, even if only for a brief moment...

Things then took a completely different turn.

"...This is no longer a calamity that humanity can handle!"

Although not explicitly stated, Barbatos's meaning was quite clear.

This is not a calamity that humans can handle; it means that a god would intervene...

Sure enough, even the Wind God has his own selfish motives!

As a member of his family, Dvalin held a different place in his heart.
