Seeker of Teyvat

He respects Barbatos, the god of wind, but he still treats the bard Wendy as an ordinary friend.

"Where have you been recently? I didn't find you a few days ago."

What Wang Daoyi asked was that during the avalanche before, when such a huge disaster occurred, Wendy didn't take action or even show her face, which was very abnormal.

Wendy looked at the people chatting next to her, and then said softly to Wang Daoyi: "I went to play a song overseas. Thank you this time."

Even though Wendy usually seems not to do anything serious, if there is any natural disaster or man-made disaster in Mondstadt, Wendy will always help behind the scenes.

But this time, there really was no time.

He went to an isolated island overseas and played a song for a certain being.

When he sensed the avalanche, Wang Daoyi had already taken action, so he was not too anxious to come back.

Wang Daoyi nodded slightly, Mondstadt's Overseas, who is worthy of Wendy playing?

The Ruler of Time Istaru

Shaking his head, he said with a trace of calmness: "There is no need to thank me. If it were not for the support of the Great Holy Demon-Conquering Saint, I would at most have blocked him and would not have reached this point."

If it hadn't been for Mandrill's special instructions to him, he would have at most blocked the avalanche a little bit after rescuing Xiang Ling and others. He wouldn't have been able to control the avalanche for three days like he did before.

A flash of understanding appeared in Wendy's eyes.

"It's that little brother. I didn't expect him to still be thinking about me."

"The Great Sage will repay your kindness. Naturally, he will not forget your kindness to him. Before coming to Mondstadt, he asked me to thank you on his behalf."

Wang Daoyi used "you" to address the other party, indicating that the identity he was talking to now was Barbatos.

"Thank you, haha, no, no, no, just prepare some good wine for me next time I go to Liyue."

"You are welcome to visit Liyue. The old man has retired. You can come over to see him and have a meal together."

Wendy nodded thoughtfully: "Liyue, Inazuma, Xumi... Come to think of it, I haven't been out for a walk for a long time. Maybe I should find some time to go out and take a look."

He is the wind of freedom, but it has not blown away from Mondstadt for thousands of years.

While we were chatting, Xiangling brought over a tray.

"The grilled fish is here!"

Wendy quickly took it: "Wow, it smells so good."

He picked up a skewer of grilled fish and stuffed it into his mouth: "Well, it's delicious. If there is wine now, it would be even more perfect."

As he spoke, he looked at the small pot floating next to Wang Daoyi.

"Can you smell this?"

With a hint of outrageous complaint, Wang Daoyi took out a few bottles with relatively ordinary packaging from the Chenge pot.

"Everyone should try the coconut wine produced in the Sumeru Desert."

Wendy was not polite and was the first to grab a bottle.

Then Xingqiu took a bottle and looked at Albedo: "Teacher Bailuo, let's drink some too to celebrate our cooperation."

"Huh?" Wang Daoyi was a little strange, "Xingqiu, why are you and Abedo cooperating?"

Xingqiu hesitated and did not answer.

Albedo, on the other hand, replied with a smile: "It's just some literary cooperation."

"Literary collaboration?"

Wang Daoyi thought for a moment, and then remembered the novel Xingqiu secretly wrote. Some memories resurfaced, and he smiled. It turned out to be this collaboration.

Everyone was like this, eating grilled fish, drinking wine, and chatting until the sun went down.

"What a nice picnic, let me end it with a poem!"

Wendy stood up and a harp appeared in his hands.

The poet gently plucks the strings

"The story we are going to sing today is the dark dragon"

【That was a very long dream

He heard the singing and saw the green grass and fragrant land

He dreamed of singing with kind people

Dance in the air with a jewel-like dragon

……

Ah, the mountains roaring with wind and snow

The green earth has been stained with blood and fire

The sound of the poet's piano can no longer pass through the roaring sound

The jewel-like dragon penetrated him with its sharp teeth

……

Goodbye, mom, my journey is over

It would be nice to sleep in the snow that shines like silver

Goodbye, beautiful poet, beautiful dragon

If we could be at different times and places

How wonderful it would be to meet, sing and dance together

...]

After the poet finished singing, he gave Wang Dao a look and then ran away, while everyone set off on their way back to Mondstadt.

Chapter 247: Holy Relic: Istaru's Pendulum

On the way back to Mondstadt

Xiangling hesitated for a moment, and then asked Wang Daoyi with some confusion: "Brother Daoyi, weren't you happy at today's picnic?"

"What's wrong? Of course you are happy. Look at Keli, she fell asleep playing."

Although he didn’t know why Xiang Ling thought so, Wang Daoyi still gave a happy answer,

He also pointed to Keli who was being held by Abedo in front of him. The little guy had closed his eyes and snored weakly. He was so tired that he fell asleep. Keli had a lot of fun today.

There was some confusion in Xiangling's eyes, and she talked about her inner doubts: "If she is very happy, then why did Wendy sing such a sad song in the end?"

Thinking of Wendy's sad tune at the end, Xiangling, who has good empathy, is still a little sad.

Obviously he didn't quite understand the meaning of the poem, but the sad mood always surrounded Xiangling.

"Oh...he was explaining to us what happened before."

Wang Daoyi smiled and explained to Xiang Ling that he didn't blame Xiang Ling. Others just listened to the poems Wendy played and sang before.

As for the story, it is estimated that only Wang Daoyi and Abedo can understand it.

"What happened before?"

Sure enough, Xiangling was even more puzzled.

He looked at Abedo who was leading the way, Xingqiu who was still chatting with Abedo, and Xingqiu's 'follower' Chongyun.

Wang Daoyi gently took Xiang Ling's little hand and pulled her to his side, the two of them leaned closely together.

"That's the avalanche you experienced."

"avalanche?"

"Well, the avalanche you experienced before was caused by the protagonist in Wendy's poem."

Wang Daoyi told Xiang Ling the legendary story of the poisonous dragon named Du Lin in detail.

An ignorant dragon approached Mondstadt with curiosity and yearning.

When people cry and run away, it thinks they are singing with it

The expulsion of the dragon in the sky, it thought it was dancing with it

……

Until the last moment when it lost its life, this terrifying giant beast never thought of harming anyone.

After listening to Wang Daoyi's story, Xiang Ling became even more sad.

"But... why? It's so innocent, why should we kill it?"

Wang Daoyi was silent for a moment and could only reply: "Because it is alive, it is a natural disaster."

[Dulin's unintentional contamination can force Mondstadt to this extent. So what level has its creator, the 'gold', reached? 】

……

The group returned to the Mondstadt camp residence.

Albedo held Klee in his arms and looked at Wang Daoyi: "I'm leaving first. If you have any questions later, you can find me at the Knights' Order, or go directly to the Snow Mountain Camp."

Wang Daoyi also hugged Xiang Ling: "Okay, I'll contact you later."

After talking to Wang Daoyi, Albedo looked at Xingqiu again and said, "Mr. Xingqiu, the first batch of paintings will be sent to you soon. Please check them."

Xingqiu also smiled and nodded: "Okay, please, Teacher Bailuo."

After saying hello, Abedo hugged Keli and left.

After Abedo left, Xiangling broke free from Wang Daoyi's big hand.

"I'm going to rest. You guys should also rest early."

With that said, he picked up the rice cake and ran away.

Wang Daoyi was stunned and smiled bitterly. Did Xiang Ling misunderstand something again? Although it was very comfortable to hold Xiang Ling, he really didn't have that idea for the time being.

For Wang Daoyi, the top priority is to ascend to the gods.

If you don't ascend to the divine position, you still have no sense of security after all.

When he was very weak, the maintainers of heavenly principles ignored him, and the Great Merciful Tree King also helped hide his information in the World Tree.

Now that he is getting stronger and stronger, he is worried that sooner or later he will be discovered by Tianli or the maintainer of Tianli.

If you have the strength of God, then you will have a lot more room.

"It's getting late, I'm going back to rest. By the way, which room is my room?"

Wang Dao looked at Xingqiu and saw that he had not rested here since he came to Mondstadt.

With a dark look on his face, Xingqiu recruited a steward to guide Wang Daoyi and took Chongyun away. Well, he and Chongyun were still in the same room.

……

Early the next morning, Wang Daoyi greeted Xiang Ling and then went out alone.

Mondstadt Temple of the Thousand Winds

When Wang Daoyi came here, Wendy had been waiting for a long time

"Your Majesty Barbatos, come to me. Do you have something to tell me?"

Looking at Wendy sitting on the stone pillar of the ruins, Wang Daoyi took the initiative to ask.

After the picnic yesterday, Wendy gave him a look before leaving, and then sent a message to him, asking him to meet here today.

Wendy jumped down from the stone pillar and walked to Wang Daoyi

"Oh my, it's obvious that he was just a little guy last time we met, but now he has embarked on the same path as us. It's really amazing."

Wendy walked around the royal road and sighed in a voice similar to an aria.

Faced with Wendy's behavior, Wang Daoyi swayed uncomfortably, feeling as if he was a treasure being appreciated.

"Your Majesty Barbatos, please be more formal."
