[Wendy, a famous street scoundrel in Mondstadt, never does farm work. He plays his homemade flute and other musical instruments on the street every day, imagining himself as a romantic wandering bard in novels.]
[It is because he sings praises of the vast blue sky and the free and sweet air outside the wind wall every day that there are so many rebellious groups in Mondstadt. ]
[You have already labeled him as mortal in your mind.]
[But you didn't rush to act, so you let Wendy jump around for a while. Once all the unruly people who intended to overthrow the rule of Diekarapian were mobilized, you could take action at that time to catch all these small shrimps in one fell swoop, and then you could have peace for a few decades.]
[Besides... there are more important things that have not been resolved for you yet. ]
[Thinking of the biggest problem you are currently facing, your eyes become sad and you look away, looking towards the throne in the tower.]
[Diakarabian was sitting quietly between the thrones, with her eyes slightly closed, like a sleeping beauty waiting to be awakened by the prince.]
[Noticing your gaze, Dekarapian opened her beautiful eyes and smiled in your direction. The look she exuded was not the arrogant and slightly cold look you were familiar with, but rather full of kindness, as gentle as the big sister next door.]
[This makes you feel even more uncomfortable.]
[A long time ago, Dekalapian told you that she inherited the power of her friend Tevarin, but she didn't tell you at that time that Dekalapian, who inherited Tevarin's power, would also suffer twice the wear and tear of an ordinary demon.]
【The result turned out to be like this. 】
[The arrogant and arrogant Decarabian has disappeared forever, leaving only the Decarabian in front of him who looks very gentle and virtuous...even a little cowardly. ]
[You began to notice that Diecarpian seemed to be a little abnormal about five hundred years ago, but she didn't say anything at that time and dealt with your inquiries. Then Diecarpian persisted for another two hundred years. It was not until three hundred years ago that Diecarpian finally couldn't hold on any longer and told you about the wear and tear.]
[From then on, Diekarapian no longer concealed the change in his personality, and eventually became like this. ]
[The speed at which your personality changes makes you feel very uncomfortable. 】
[It seems that overnight, the Diocletian you are familiar with disappeared, and was replaced by the stranger in front of you wearing Diocletian's skin. ]
[Although you have tried every possible way to slow down the wear and tear of the Diekarapian over the past few hundred years, it is ultimately useless.]
[Compared to the current state of Diocletian, those guys outside who are planning to rebel are not a problem at all.]
[“I want to go out for a while.” You stood in front of Diekarapian and said without any politeness in your tone. This was not because Diekarapian and you had a good relationship so that you could ignore the difference in status between the two of you, but because you were trying to irritate Diekarapian in this way.]
[If she had seen your disrespectful attitude in the past, she would have punished you and made you recognize your own identity, but now Diekarapian...]
[“I understand. Go early and come back early.” With a gentle smile on his face, Diekarapian tacitly approved of your “disrespectful” behavior.]
【“…Tsk.” Seeing that Dekarapian was not angry, you further provoked him, smacked your lips lightly, and then left Mondstadt.】
[You left Mondstadt this time to retrieve the Heart of Naberis, which you buried under the honeysuckle tree thousands of years ago.]
[After thousands of years, the Heart of Naberis should have accumulated a huge amount of earth energy. Now the frequency of rebellions by the unruly people is increasing. Although you don't take these ordinary people's rebellions seriously, it is an objective fact that the situation in Mondstadt is becoming more and more chaotic. Now that Dekalapian is becoming more and more cowardly, you are the only one in Mondstadt who can take the lead, so you need to improve your strength.]
[You open a corner of the wind barrier, and you pass through it. The ground beneath your feet turns into a soft snowfield.]
[After walking a few steps, you realize that there are a group of people besides you trying to cross the wind barrier. ]
[You narrow your eyes slightly and quickly hide yourself, wanting to see who are the people who are so desperate.]
【A few minutes later, a group of figures come into your sight. 】
[Those are... the rebellious Gunnhild people.]
You quickly identified these people.
[Although you have long since deliberately downplayed the tribal consciousness of the Mond people, the Mond people have passed down the name of the tribe through word of mouth. However, unlike in the past, the Gunnhild people today refer to the Gunnhild nation rather than the Gunnhild tribe.]
[These people seemed very excited when they first got outside. In their opinion, they finally got rid of the prison that had been imprisoning them and gained true freedom. However, these people were not happy for long. They had to face the first problem of stepping into the snowfield - low temperature.]
【Through the efforts of these Gunnhild people, they finally made themselves live like their ancestors thousands of years ago, living in low temperatures, lack of food and the threat of wolves every day. Moreover, after a thousand years in the wind wall, these Gunnhild people have not even mastered the skills of keeping warm and hunting. You even doubt whether these people have the ability to identify directions in the snow.】
[You quietly observed these people. After only ten minutes of being outside the wind wall, some smart people realized that something was wrong and tried to return to Mondstadt. However, the wind barrier had been restored at this time, and those who wanted to return to Mondstadt could only watch and sigh.]
[After the excitement, these people suddenly realized that they had completely forgotten the means and skills to make a living on the snowy plains. In other words, they were doomed.]
Chapter 252: First Encounter with Barbatos
[You followed these people for three days in total, watching these unarmed guys run away and die in the cold wind of the snowy plains, until they finally stopped moving and waited for death to come.]
【These people are doomed. 】
[You pull out a bow and arrow from behind you and aim at the leading man.]
[Although you can leave these guys alone, that would be too easy for them. You have to let them know that those who betray Diekarapian will pay with their lives! ]
[However, just as you drew your bow and prepared to shoot an arrow, you noticed a very small figure among the crowd of people.]
[A blue wind elf the size of an adult's palm appeared among the traitors, and seemed to be communicating with the leading man.]
[Soon, a strange breeze emerged around the wind elf's body.]
[The wind was obviously very weak, but the breeze easily dispelled the coldness of the snowfield. Not only that, wherever the breeze passed, dots of green appeared on the frozen soil that had not grown any plants for thousands of years.]
[That is... a wind that can bring a small turn of events and hope. You instantly recognize the nature of that newborn wind spirit.]
[You slowly put down the bow and arrow in your hand. ]
[Diakarabian once told you that every wind elf is of the same level as a "demon god". Even if this new wind elf in front of you is not very powerful, you don't want to easily provoke its anger.]
[It is the stupidest thing to anger a neutral demon god for no reason, especially when Mondstadt is not very stable at the moment. Since this new wind elf chooses to protect these humans, although you are unwilling, you can only give up the plan to attack these people. ]
[After putting away your bow and arrow, you took the initiative to walk into the crowd. ]
[“Hello, new Demon Lord.” You bowed gracefully to the Wind Spirit Demon Lord.]
[After being with Diekarapian for a long time, these etiquettes are easy for you to master. ]
[After noticing your appearance, the group of people showed horrified looks on their faces and made way for you.]
[Decarabian's follower, the executioner who ruthlessly slaughtered civilians, Decarabian's vicious dog, etc.... These are the names that the Mond people secretly call you. ]
[These Mondstadt people just ran out of Mondstadt, and subconsciously thought that you were here to hunt them down, so they looked at you with undisguised hostility.]
[“My name is Amos Imonloka, and I am a follower of Master Dekalabian.” You introduced yourself to the Wind Spirit Demon.]
[“Hello, my name is Barbatos.” The Wind Elf Demon God also introduced himself. ]
[“I never thought that a demon god would be born in this period. If you have the chance, Barbatos, you can go to Mondstadt and take a look. My master, Diocarabian, is also a wind elf like you. If he sees the birth of a similar spirit, I’m sure my master will be very happy.”]
[Diakarabian and Barbatos, both wind elves, should have common topics. After the two meet, even if they cannot form an alliance with Barbatos directly, they can at least ensure that Barbatos will not be lured by Boreas. ]
【"What?!"】
[“Lord Barbatos, please don’t be bewitched by this guy!”]
[“Diakarabian is a very evil demon. He used the Wind Barrier to trap the people in the wind wall and built a high tower to monitor the every move of the Mond people. We finally escaped from the hands of that evil demon at the cost of our lives.”]
[Hearing you say this, the Mondstadt people were horrified and advised Barbatos not to go to Mondstadt. In their eyes, such behavior is like walking into a tiger's mouth, which is no different from suicide.]
[You silently glanced at this group of people, thinking that you must deal with these troublemakers after Barbatos leaves.]
[“That’s not the case. Lord Dekalabian is still very considerate of these unruly people.” You explained. It was hard to say before, but at least now that Dekalabian has been affected by the wear and tear, he does take these unruly people of Mond very seriously.]
[“Hmm…” Barbatos looked at you, then at the group of Mondstadt people, and finally decided to go to Mondstadt to see it with his own eyes.]
【“Mondstadt welcomes you.”】
[After that, you exchanged a few words with Barbatos and left. After all, you still had your own mission to accomplish.]
[When you left, the Mondstadt people were still trying to persuade Barbatos not to go to Mondstadt, but at this time Barbatos showed his stubborn side, and no matter how they persuaded him, he insisted on going to Mondstadt to find out what was going on.]
[On the night Barbatos left the tribe, you used wind arrows to kill all the Mond people who had managed to escape, and then headed towards the Kingdom of Sharl Findenir.]
[After thousands of years of not going out, the living standards of the people on the snowfield have been raised to a higher level. Through trade with the Kanreya people, the people on the snowfield have basically solved their basic living problems and have the energy to consider things other than food, clothing, housing and transportation.]
[For example, you meet an adventurer in a village who wants to climb the highest mountain in the snowfield, the Sharp Hat Peak, but because he is old, he is designing a tool that can help him fly in the sky.]
[To be honest, you can't understand the adventurer's idea at all, because in your opinion, adventure equals unknown, equals danger, equals death, so you can't understand these adventurers who voluntarily die, and you can only sigh that times have changed.]
[Although you have such thoughts in your mind, you still have a good relationship with the adventurer named Leonard. Because of your long life, you have more knowledge than ordinary people. In just a few words, you can talk about history that ordinary people have never known. Therefore, Leonard seems to treat you as a colleague. Although it has only been a few days, you and Leonard have successfully become friends.]
[After that, you continued to move forward until you reached the snowy mountain where the Fendnier Kingdom was located. As the altitude increased, you could clearly feel the temperature dropping.]
[Hmm? The temperature has dropped? ? ]
[Such an unusual situation makes you alert instantly. ]
[Under the protection of the honeysuckle tree, the entire area of the Fendenir Kingdom should be as warm as spring all year round. Why is it getting colder and colder?! ]
[When you arrived at the capital of Findenir after thousands of years, your doubts were answered—because this country is about to perish.]
[You entered the capital without any obstruction, passing by the poor people who were shivering from the cold and were only a hair's breadth away from death. You even felt like you were still thousands of years ago, back in time when humans suffered from the cold.]
[But you know this is just your illusion, because if you look up at the sky, you can see the culprit that caused the people of the Kingdom of Findenir to suffer so much - a nail of cold sky that emits deadly coldness at all times is hanging high in the sky on the top of the snowy mountain.]
Chapter 253 The Brave Man in the Prophecy
[You wandered around the capital of Findenir and quickly figured out the current situation of the country.]
[The Frost Nail in the sky is constantly emitting deadly chills, and the honeysuckle trees on the ground have withered because of the Heart of Naberish you left behind, and are no longer able to protect the Kingdom of Findenir.]
[After losing the protection of the honeysuckle tree, all the crops grown in this country failed, and coupled with the sudden cold weather, this created the hungry and cold refugees that could be seen everywhere on the roadside.]
[You don't have any special feelings about the fact that you indirectly killed countless people. After all, you are not a person with overflowing sympathy. In addition, you have been influenced by Decarabian for a long time, and you have reached the point of indifference to the lives of ordinary people. ]
[So you have no intention of helping the Kingdom of Findenir, you just want to take back the Heart of Naberis and leave. It's just that it's still light now and the guards are tight, so you can't take back the Heart of Naberis for the time being.]
[In order to look for an opportunity, you found a place to stay quietly until night, thinking that the number of guards would be reduced at night. However, after seeing dozens of guards on high alert, you fell into deep self-doubt.]
[Isn't the guarding power of this honeysuckle tree a little too strong? ]
[You can probably guess that this is because the Fendenir people are always hoping that the Honeysuckle Tree can be resurrected and protect them again, so they have arranged so many guards, but these people's 24-hour surveillance of the Honeysuckle Tree has indeed caused you considerable difficulties.]
[Under the soft snow is hard frozen soil. Even if you dig out the Heart of Naberis, it will take you several hours. Obviously, there is no way to hide it from the guards. ]
[Emm...it seems that I can only use that trick. ]
[You came up with an idea, smiled, and returned to the hotel alone. ]
[The next day, on the streets of the Kingdom of Findenir, a beautiful woman with a short bow on her back appeared.]
[“Hello, my name is Imon Roca, and I’m a very strong traveler. Is there anything I can help you with?” You approached a random passerby on the street and took the initiative to introduce yourself.]
[“Bounty hunter?” The passerby looked at you and waved his hand. “If you want to make extra money, go to other countries. No one in this country has the money to hire bounty hunters.”]
【Then, the passerby sighed and left. 】
[You are not discouraged, but continue to look for the next passerby and repeat the previous behavior. ]
[What you have to do is the same as what you did when you first came here thousands of years ago, that is, to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Findenir, and then use your power to create conditions for yourself to dig out the Heart of Naberish.]
[In the past, you often dug out the Heart of Naberis to check whether it could successfully absorb the energy of the honeysuckle tree, so this matter is considered to be a piece of cake for you.]
[And you are extremely glad that you left a backup plan before. The last prophecy you made before leaving this country: when this country is in danger, a brave man named Imon Roka will come to help this country.]
[Who would have thought that the joke at that time would come true, and the Kingdom of Findenir actually encountered a crisis of extinction thousands of years later, and you returned here at this time. What is most coincidental is that even after thousands of years, the royal family of the Kingdom of Findenir still remembered this prophecy. On the third day of your activities as the traveler "Imon Roka", you were invited by the royal guards here to the palace.]
[Since the Kingdom of Findenir is a female-led country, after the previous queen died of illness, the power of the country fell to her sixteen-year-old daughter.]
[You look up at the white-haired, red-eyed princess on the throne. Even though thousands of years have passed, you can still see a hint of the queen you once had sex with on her face. It makes you sigh at the power of genes.]
[“Hello, the hero in the prophecy.” The princess nodded slightly when she saw you, and said with a polite and elegant smile on her face.]
[“The hero in the prophecy… is he talking about me?” Your eyes revealed a hint of doubt, perfectly playing the role of a traveler who knows nothing. ]
[“Yes, it’s you, the brave hero in the prophecy!”]
[At this time, the princess is like an NPC in an RPG game, diligently introducing you to the prophecies circulating in this country and the current situation of this country. ]
[“I’m just an ordinary traveler, but if there’s anything I can do to help, please feel free to ask me.”]
[But even though you said this, you knew in your heart that the Kingdom of Findenir was doomed to perish.]
[The honeysuckle tree can grow in this snowy mountain because there is a ground energy leak point here. The honeysuckle tree can grow here by relying on the leaked ground energy. The Frost Sky Nail in the sky has completely blocked the leak point here. Therefore, without the ground energy replenishment and the "parasite" of the Heart of Naberis absorbing the ground energy at the root, the honeysuckle tree died. ]
[If you want to revive the Honeysuckle Tree, you must open up another earth vein leak point. If you have this ability, why would you need the energy contained in the Heart of Naberis? ]
[But maybe Morax in the south has a solution? ]
[If it is the powerful Morax, it is not impossible for him to use his power to create a leakage point of earth vein energy. ]
[And you also want to know if Morax has a way to solve the wear problem of Diekarapian. So it seems that you must go to meet Morax. ]
[But that will happen after I retrieve the Heart of Naberis.]
[Having decided on your next itinerary, you come back to your senses and stare at the princess on the throne. ]
[“Princess, can you arrange a room for me to rest first?”]
["Of course, Lord Brave."]
