I'm not feeling right when I transform into Keqing

There was a rare sadness in Wendy's emerald eyes: "It is my friend and the benefactor who brought life to this land."

"Three months ago, it was only harmed by the blood of the poisonous dragon. I was able to soothe its pain with the sound of the piano and find a chance to purify it."

"But now..." Wendy said halfway and lowered her head in disappointment.

“But I can’t help it, and I don’t even know how to approach it… I can only stand on the statue and look at the distant white mountain, hoping for a miracle.”

After saying this, Wendy fell silent.

Even if this is not true but just a story, Wendy's telling of it will inevitably make people feel a sense of helplessness and sympathy.

I can only say that he is worthy of being the best bard in the world.

Keqing looked at Wendy and spoke slowly: "So this is your reason for slacking off and singing in the tavern?"

Chapter 143 142. Combining work and rest is good (2/6)

Wendy was embarrassed.

Because he couldn't refute the fact that Keqing said.

He did stay in the tavern for a long time, and he did not go to the snowy mountains to observe.

But it's not like he really did nothing.

"After Tevarin escaped into the snowy mountains, I observed the mountains and found that the aura of the abyss began to appear there," Wendy said. "This is what I am most worried about."

"That's the main reason why I can't leave Mondstadt." Wendy continued, "If the culprit who poisoned Tevarin, the thing that really came from the abyss, came to Mondstadt when I left to find Tevarin, then this land would be in disaster."

This is the biggest reason why he hangs out in the pub all day.

Although Keqing felt that even without this threat, Venti would still hang out in the tavern or sing for people in the square every day.

But it is undeniable that the existence of Wendy, the god of wind, is indeed a guarantee of safety.

"Then why didn't you and the Emperor eliminate the danger directly?" Keqing asked, "Even if you couldn't kill it, you could still seal it, right?"

"The seal we put down can only hasten its death. We can't learn the truth from it." Wendy shook her head gently. "Moreover... Tevarin's last consciousness can only ensure that he does not become the murderer who destroys this land. Neither communication nor words are of any use anymore..."

We must find out from Tevarin the mastermind from the abyss who caused the changes in the Wind Dragon Ruins and the Demon Disaster.

This is what Zhong Li told Keqing.

Killing Tevarin is only a "symptomatic treatment" and cannot achieve the goal of "curing the root cause".

An Abyss Dragon died. Although Mondstadt and Liyue are temporarily safe, no one can guarantee whether there will be a second Abyss Dragon or even an Abyss Dragon King.

"Didn't you find a way to save it at that time?" Keqing asked after thinking for a moment.

Although they are not the gods in charge of healing, as the two oldest gods, Keqing feels that with their wisdom they should not be helpless.

Wendy's nod confirmed her guess.

“There are ways to save it, but it can’t be done by us.”

"why?"

"Because that thing is still wary of us."

fear?

Keqing held her chin with her hand and said after thinking for a while: "Are you afraid of alerting the enemy?"

"Yes." Wendy nodded and said, "From the fact that Tevarin still has a certain degree of consciousness, we know that thing should still be making some preparations somewhere. Perhaps it is dealing with matters of the abyss and has no time to take care of Tevarin."

"If it ever feels in danger or is alarmed, I'm afraid what happened in the Wind Dragon Ruins many years ago will happen again."

"And the time and effort required to heal Tevarin is not something that can be done overnight or with just a flick of the finger."

"At that time, the Emperor meant to let Tevarin die directly. He realized that the death of the Abyss Dragon, which was used as a weapon, would definitely attract the enemy's attention. Then we can follow the clues to find out the cause."

Keqing nodded slightly, this was indeed in line with the Emperor's style.

Because this is the safest method.

But Venti didn't seem to think so, otherwise Keqing wouldn't have appeared here.

"So you refused?" Keqing asked.

Venti looked at Keqing: "To Mondstadt and me, Tevarin is more than just an ordinary dragon."

"It can die for Mond, but not now."

If we can rescue Tevarin and get information about the abyss that caused the change, it will definitely be a win-win situation for everyone.

But according to Zhong Li and Wendy's opinions, the only person who can do this is her.

Keqing was not sure whether she could save the dying Abyss Dragon.

"What can I do to save it?" Keqing asked Wendy.

In response to this simple question, Wendy shook her head: "I don't know either."

This made Keqing raise her eyebrows.

Seeing that Keqing seemed to have misunderstood, Wendy hurriedly explained, "It has been more than ten days since we last saw Tevarin. Tevarin, who is infected with multiple residual poisons, is changing every moment. We need to see the extent of his current injuries with our own eyes before we can find a way to heal him."

"And the method to cure the abyss and poisonous blood... The Emperor and I haven't thought of it yet."

After Venti finished speaking, she suddenly changed the subject and looked at Keqing: "But we all believe in you."

"Believe me?"

"Yes." Wendy nodded, looked at Keqing, and smiled: "You are a person who works miracles. If there is anyone who can save Tevarin, it must be you."

"As the first Knight of the North Wind, and also the Immortal Lord who slew the Tornado and the Evil Dragon, you are the lone Purple Thunder who put an end to thousands of demon gods. You are..."

“Alright, alright.” Keqing quickly asked Venti to stop.

"How did you learn to flatter?"

"No, isn't everything I said true?" Wendy asked doubtfully.

Keqing was also speechless.

Wendy smiled and looked at Keqing, his expression slowly calming down.

He spoke in a voice as light but soft as the song of a kingfisher: "And this will also be an experience for you."

"Although you have gained the recognition of the wind, the wind cannot love you as dearly as the thunder does, because you have not yet understood it, understood the thousand winds."

"If you truly understand the meaning of a thousand winds, you will never be trapped in a windless place again."

"Then, you will be able to command the thousand winds like dear Thunder to help you fly to your ideal destination."

……

……

Walking out of the tavern, Keqing blocked the dazzling afternoon sunlight.

Then he looked back at the tavern, also with a thoughtful look on his face.

Venti basically answered all the questions Keqing wanted.

She also knew why the two gods did not kill Tevarin, and what they were going to do.

Just after coming out of the dull, alcohol-filled tavern and being sobered up by the breeze, Keqing suddenly thought of something.

Aren’t these two people too trusting of themselves?

If he failed, not only would he alert the enemy, but he would also drive Tevarin, who would have been resting in peace, mad and threaten Daumund and Liyue again like the previous Demon Disaster.

And Liyue, who believed in herself, was actually a "miracle".

Keqing doesn't believe in miracles, just like she doesn't believe that God will always protect the earth.

But if the one who said this is God, then there is nothing to worry about.

It would be strange if there was a God who said you shouldn't believe in superstition and should believe in science.

"In that case, I have to start preparing." Keqing said softly.

She had previously thought that it was not too urgent to go to the snowy mountains, but now she knew that Tevarin's life was slipping away quickly. If she went too late, it would be troublesome, all her plans would fail, and all her efforts would be in vain.

Although it is good to combine work and rest, you cannot be too lazy and you need to take action quickly.

Chapter 144 143. The Greatest Astrologer

Not to mention that Venti’s words at the end really touched Keqing.

Her control over wind is not as strong as thunder. If she could really control the Thousand Winds, she would definitely have an extra protection when facing those demon-level enemies in the future.

Unlike when she was sealed, in order to avoid the mad Xiao, Keqing had to find Venti and borrow his power.

But at this moment, Keqing suddenly noticed that Noel behind her was looking at her.

Keqing asked in confusion, "Is there something on my face?"

“Master Keqing!” Noelle asked in surprise, “Then, is that bard Master Fengshen?”

"You do not know?"

"Ah? Really?!" Noel's face was full of shock.

Keqing then remembered that although Noelle had been to the Seal with her, Venti was just a wind elf at that time, which was very different from what he is now.

“Lord Wind God, I’m sorry… I, I didn’t mean to offend…” Noelle suddenly became nervous.

Then he put his hands together, as if in confession.

Seeing this, Keqing asked her if she was too tired or unwell, which was why she looked so strange.

The maid also explained the reason and expressed her previous disrespect towards Wendy.

Keqing also thought that Noelle had done something serious.

It turns out that I just suspected that Wendy was a liar, which is of course normal.

He comforted Noel with a few words, saying that Lord Wind God was a magnanimous person and would not care about such a small matter.

And he told her to ask Wendy herself if she didn't believe it. Only then did Noelle feel relieved.

Following Keqing, Noelle followed her towards the direction of the Knights of Favonius.

After asking about Tevarin, Keqing also had to make some preparations.

However, Noel behind him seemed to still be worried about being blamed by the lazy Fengshen.

He walked with his head down, looking worried.

Keqing had no choice but to stop and said to her, "Don't worry, Noelle. He and I are quite familiar with each other. He won't care about these things."

"Huh?" Noelle raised her head.

Then she realized that Lady Keqing must have been wrong, and she was no longer worried about being blamed by Lord Wind God.

But I am worried about Lady Keqing.

“Lady Keqing, I heard everything you said to Feng…Sir Wendy before.” Noel said in a low voice.

Keqing naturally understands this.

Although this matter concerns the safety of Mondliyue and even the entire continent, the fewer people know about it, the better, otherwise it may cause unnecessary panic.

But Keqing is very reassured by Noelle's character. Keeping secrets is one of her principles as a knight's maid.

Noelle just happened to bring up this matter, and Keqing thought about it and felt that before going to see Jean, maybe she could ask other people's opinions.

"So, what do you think, Noelle?" Keqing asked.

"How about it?"

"That's what Wendy said, to save Tevarin." Keqing paused, folded her arms and supported her chin, and said thoughtfully: "Although his method makes sense and I agree with it, I still have the same idea as the Emperor. Waiting for the dragon that has fallen into the abyss to die, and then follow the clues to find the cause, this should be the safest way."

Although Wendy is the god of wind, he uses the same emotional method of "salvation" as mortals.

"Maybe the God of Liberty wants to save the Dragon of Liberty's freedom?"

"Maybe that guy wanted to use this opportunity to guide me to see the new direction of the wind?"
