Genshin Impact: Starting Guide - End of the World Qi Bao

"..."

After a fierce battle, Dvalin let out a mournful dragon roar and immediately turned and flew away...

Without that mysterious power, Yingmei slowly descended.

"Are you OK."

Jue Xi, who had stolen Amber's lines, shamelessly spoke and stepped forward to help Ying Mei.

At this moment, a dark-skinned beauty (or handsome man) walked out, clapping his hands.

"You actually possess the power to fight dragons. Are you our enemy, or a new storm...?"

"Yingmei, let's go."

Juexi took Yingmei's hand. He didn't want to get entangled with Kaeya here. It wasn't that he didn't like Kaeya, but Amber hadn't told him about Kaeya. It would be too suspicious if she introduced him right away. So Juexi decided to bypass him and take Yingmei directly to Diluc and Venti. Diluc would naturally contact Jean. This way, by completing the series of operations such as stealing Jean, they should be able to advance the original plot a while.

Kaiya stopped Juexi with a smile and began to speak.

"Don't rush off. Is this handsome guy from Liyue? Even though it's our first time meeting, I feel a sense of familiarity with him. Also, if I'm not mistaken, those were Wind Wings, right? They're a very unique design."

"tsk"

Jue Xi thought to herself, "This black-skinned guy is very cunning; he's a smiling tiger, and you never know what he's thinking."

"It seems you must be a member of the Knights of Favonius, sir. She and I are merely travelers visiting Mondstadt from afar. As for anything else, I have nothing to say. Yingmei, let's ignore him. Strange man, let's go."

Juexi took Yingmei's hand and turned to leave.

"oh oh!"

Yingmei was a little confused. Had another boy touched her hand? This was the first boy besides her brother to do so. Come to think of it, when the dragon appeared earlier, Juexi seemed to have held her hand, right? It felt so strange.

Amber ran up to the group, panting.

"Jue...Juexi, are you alright?"

Jue Xi felt a sense of foreboding. Why was An Bo here? How was she going to escape now? Oh dear, this has caused complete chaos.

Kaiya asked from the side.

"Amber, do you know this person?"

Amber nodded.

"Of course, they are travelers from afar, very kind people. By the way, Juexi also has travelers. Let me introduce you. This is Kaiya, the cavalry captain of our knight order."

Chapter 20 'Wind Dragon' 'Poison Dragon'

"The atmosphere between you two seems a bit off... Let me explain what happened..."

Amber noticed that the two seemed to be at odds, and was about to explain when Juexi spoke up.

“Captain Kaeya, this traveler and I are perfectly law-abiding citizens. Amber will explain for us. This traveler, Luna, just defeated Stormterror and she's tired now. I'll take her to rest first. Sorry, I'll take my leave now.”

Without waiting for a reply, he grabbed the traveler and ran off.

"Wait for me!"

Paimon stomped his foot and then chased after him.

"It seems that Jue Xi doesn't have a very good attitude towards me."

Kaiya shook his head and said that this time he did not stop him.

……

Ying asked, puzzled.

"Juexi, why are you in such a hurry to pull me away?"

"Yingmei, let me tell you, these people are really wicked. They just want you to work for them for free. Tell me, do you want to help Mondstadt get through this dragon plague?"

Yingmei thought for a while and realized that this might have happened because she had disturbed the wind god's treatment of Dvalin. She felt extremely guilty. She had come here to find her brother and to see if the wind god was the evil god who had sealed her and her brother. Now she realized that if the bard who was treating the dragon that day was the wind god, then he was indeed not the evil god who had separated her and her brother.

"miss you!"

He knew the answer perfectly well, yet he still asked the question.

"By the way, Yingmei, why did you and Paimon come here...?"

"It's because... (I originally intended to omit this, but later felt it necessary to explain briefly, so let's put it this way: Ying and Kong are siblings, travelers who journey between various worlds. However, when they arrived in this world of Teyvat, and were about to head to the next world after their journey, they were stopped by an unfamiliar god. The god sealed them away, forcing Kong and Ying to separate and embark on a journey to find their blood relatives.)"

After hearing Yingmei's words, Juexi looked heartbroken. Thinking of Qibao, she couldn't help but feel sad and comforted her.

“I understand the pain of being separated from your blood relatives, Ying. You must cheer up. Your brother might be somewhere, and he might come to see you someday.”

Paimon said from the side.

"Alright, alright, hearing all this is making me feel bad too. Juexi, you told us to follow you, and you just asked if we wanted to help the people of Mondstadt solve the dragon scourge. I bet you already have a plan, right?"

“Not bad, little Paimon is very smart. I’ll take you to see someone, but before that, let me tell you a story.”

"Okay, okay, I love listening to stories."

"About a hundred years ago, the entire continent of Teyvat was in turmoil, with monsters rampaging and the lives of all people filled with danger. That period was also exceptionally difficult for the people of Mondstadt. No one was qualified to inherit the Lionfang Knights' legacy, and the Knights of Favonius suffered losses due to the arduous battles. Many talented and valiant warriors were forced to fight monsters before they had fully matured and died prematurely. At this time, the powerful corrupted monster, the poisonous dragon 'Durin,' attacked Mondstadt, attempting to destroy it."

"Through prayer, the people of Mondstadt awakened the consciousness of the Anemo Archon, which summoned the wind dragon Dvalin. As the last guardian of Mondstadt, Dvalin fought against Dúrin. Dvalin emerged victorious but was corrupted by the dragon's venomous blood. The Anemo Archon summoned Dvalin back to recuperate. When it awoke, the people had long forgotten it; once its protector, it was now betrayed, forgotten, and utterly despised by its own people..."

"Physical pain and psychological betrayal tormented it. Dullin's poisonous blood easily corrupted it as well. The people of Mondstadt once worshipped the Wind Dragon, firmly believing that it would protect Mondstadt when needed. Now, the people have long forgotten the Wind Dragon; this faith has vanished, and the temples that once stood there are now dilapidated..."

Paimon's mood plummeted.

"What a sad story, Dvalin."

Juexi asked a question she already knew the answer to, since it would be strange if the traveler didn't help.

"Alright, the story is over. So, should we help Dvalin?"

Paimon said indignantly, and Yingmei nodded in agreement.

"Of course we want it, Tvalin is in such a terrible state."

Paimon was puzzled.

"But what should we do now?"

Jue Xi said with a smile.

“I will take you to see the most great bard in the world.”

Paimon looked at the riddle-solving man, Juexi, with some confusion.

"The most powerful! A bard? Who's that? Stop keeping me in suspense, hmph!"

"I'll take you to see Him right away; you might have even met Him before."

Chapter 21 Wind God?

Paimon, seeing Jue Xi's mysterious demeanor, ended up leading him and Ying to a tavern.

"This...isn't this a tavern? Juexi! I didn't realize you were such a drunkard."

"Don't rush, Paimon. We're here to find someone, not to drink."

As luck would have it, Wendy came over with a smug look on her face.

"Hi~ my dear friend, you're here again. How was the drink yesterday?"

"I'm not drinking today, my head is killing me. This bard is the person (god) we're looking for. His name is Wendy."

At this point, Juexi turned to Wendy and introduced her.

"These two people next to me are Traveler Ying and her emergency food Paimon."

Paimon stomped his foot in anger.

"Paimon is not emergency food!"

Yingmei looked at Wendy with some confusion, about to speak.

"you are?"

"I am the three-time consecutive champion of 'Mondstadt's Most Beloved Bard'."

Wendy proudly patted her chest, interrupting Yingmei's question.

"Alright Wendy, stop teasing them. I brought them here so we can help Dvalin together..."

Jue Xi explained the purpose of this trip.

……

Wendy spoke as if she understood but not quite.

"So this is ah."

"Can Yingmei take that thing out and show it to Wendy?"

"Huh? Which thing?"

"Oh, it's that thing, that thing."

"What? Juexi, we don't understand what you're saying!"

Paimon said angrily.

"It's the thing that fell on the ground when you scared Dvalin away."

Ying looked at Juexi warily.

"How do you know!"

Jue Xi, on the other hand, had the appearance of a virtuous gentleman.

"I know all your secrets, Yingmei, but don't worry, I won't hurt you. Just take it out."

Ying reached out her hand with some skepticism, and a blue crystal resembling a tear appeared in her palm.

Wendy, unusually serious, became even more so upon seeing this.

"This is! The crystal has been purified? When did this happen? These are the tears that Dvalin shed because of his pain."

Paimon asked, puzzled.

"Tears?"

"It used to be a gentle child, but now it's become so sad... full of anger... Can you purify it?"
