"…I'm fine, you guys leave now…"

There was a slight tremor of pain in Sister Eula's voice.

She was not as lucky as Diluk. The shock wave caused by the explosion swept away a large number of sharp stones, one of which cut her thigh meridian.

He is seriously injured now. Let alone running away, he will probably collapse soon if he is not taken care of.

But even so, she still held on, not wanting her sister to worry about her, and asked Diluk to take Yuya and run away quickly.

The former also saw this horrific injury. He remained silent and then looked at Youya.

Having escaped from life-and-death crises one after another, he now unconditionally trusts Youya's judgment.

But the girl's reaction was different from what he expected, calm and rational. She struggled to move to Eula's side using her hands and waist.

Her fair and tender legs were rubbed by the rough gravel and bled, but she seemed unaware of it. She didn't care about her disheveled appearance and instead cared more about Eula.

Eula and Diluk had speechless expressions.

The girl who was kidnapped by bad guys, hunted by a dragon, and narrowly escaped death but remained strong and brave from beginning to end, now looked as pitiful as an abandoned puppy.

"What about Sister Eula?"

she asked.

Perhaps this is the behavior that is appropriate for her age, but their mature performance in the past made them ignore this point and treat Youya as their peer.

"Youya... I am your sister. Protecting you is not only my promise, but also my mission."

Eula felt heartbroken, but she had to make a decision.

"It's still very dangerous here. With such a big commotion, some dangerous monsters may come at any time. If that happens, everything we have done will be in vain...

So, be obedient, okay? You and Diluk leave here first, I'll catch up soon!"

“…No. Sister Eula must be lying to me. Besides, didn’t we agree that I should wait for Sister Eula? How can a sister abandon her sister and go first now?”

After the rebuttal, Youya did not say much, but mobilized the remaining wind elemental power to try to heal Sister Eula.

She had seen Barbara heal the pain of others and heard her share her experiences.

This power is very idealistic, or in other words, the use of elemental power does require the user to materialize it through mental strength.

Based on their "ideas" and "beliefs", they can perform real miracles.

The ability to heal others is not unique to the water element. Any element can do this, but there are differences between them. The water element is the most suitable for the human body.

Well, since she originally wanted to help Sister Eula, she should be able to do this!

A light green breeze flowed between the girls and then circled around the injured part of Eula. The wind element cleaned the wound and then injected a healing effect, allowing the wound to recover quickly.

And she drew those colorless elemental forces that were free in the air and invisible to the naked eye to continuously replenish her depleted body.

This made Eula look at her in astonishment, but as the wound healed and the energy pool filled up, the light green fluorescence quickly dimmed.

Youya's little face turned pale, but even so, she managed a weak smile.

"...That's good. Sister Eula can run again..."

How could Youla not feel sorry for her? She supported Youya who was about to fall down, then quickly stood up and picked her up like a princess.

When she was anxiously trying to say something, the center of the explosion, which had originally calmed down, began to move again.

The extremely shrill and loud dragon roar resounded throughout the forest, and a large number of frightened birds were scared and flew everywhere. Some even crashed into trees and fell down, their legs twitching.

"How can it be!"

Diluk looked shocked.

Such a horrific explosion still failed to kill the evil dragon Usa?

It was obviously seriously injured, there was no reason why it could survive.

But the fact is right in front of us.

"Roar--"

From the smoke and dust, the demon dragon Usa staggered out. Although it was slow, one could even see skin covering some parts of its body with flesh and blood, and its two wings were completely broken.

This was a devastating blow that even Vanessa a thousand years ago had not been able to deal.

And now, the dragon is still alive. Its willpower is strong enough to allow it to stay here for a thousand years, allowing it to endure the burning pain, but the influence of the demon's remains still lingers in its body.

But perhaps it was just luck, the nature of the demon's remains was close to its dragon core, and did not cause more serious damage.

This is why it is still able to survive.

The dragon's breathing was like a broken blower, wheezing.

At the same time, they could also see dark dragon flames emerging from the broken dragon's mouth. Diluk and Eula's sense of crisis reached its highest point at this moment.

Especially Eula, when she was holding Youya, she was clearly affected by the endless and hideous malice coming from the evil dragon Usa.

Considering that she severely injured the demon dragon Usa, causing it to suffer a self-explosion attack, it can be said that the opponent's hatred was completely locked on her and her sister.

Knowing that something was wrong, Eula did not intend to confront the opponent head-on again. It was unnecessary to confront a dying beast head-on, and she did not have the skills to do so with ease.

They had to leave here quickly, so after growling "Go!", Diluk ran away with her.

A sweeping dragon breath lost its accuracy due to his serious injuries, allowing the two men to run some distance without getting hurt. Even Yegor, who had fainted, luckily avoided the attack.

The magic dragon Usa did not chase them. After taking two steps with great effort, it stopped.

This is not because it doesn't dare, or is timid...

The dragon Usa had a keen sense and could sense that there was a being capable of killing him in the direction they were leaving.

It would not be wise to continue chasing after it.

Therefore, it changed direction and chose to evacuate.

The three people who were unaware that the Demon Dragon Usa had given up chasing them ran all the way to the main road, and at the same time they saw a huge group of knights not far away.

Leading the group was none other than Grand Commander Falga, who had a serious expression on his face and muscles all over his body, and it was clear that he was ready for battle.

Kaia was following him.

This cunning boy did not go back to Mond directly, as that would have been too slow and inefficient. However, he "happened" to know the locations of the strongholds of the treasure-hunting groups that the Knights were besieging.

Therefore, after finding the nearest stronghold, he met the commander-in-chief. After briefly explaining the matter to him, the other party immediately mounted his horse and galloped over.

Now it seems that we have arrived just in time.

Chapter 105: Older man, younger girl, and a secret

Youya woke up in a church hospital. Beautiful wind patterns were carved on the walls, which were simple and historical. She could vaguely see how luxurious the past was.

She squinted her eyes and tried to move her body, but she was totally unable to do so. She was frightened for a moment, thinking that it was all just a dream.

But then, a gentle yet playful voice was heard.

"Huh? Did you have a nightmare? This shouldn't happen!"

When Youya heard the voice, she looked and saw a bard dressed like Robin Hood but holding a harp smiling at her.

"How are you? How are you feeling? Do you want me to peel an apple for you or sing a song for you?"

"Um... before you answer, could you please introduce yourself?"

Youya could feel that the voice was very familiar to her.

It's like I've heard it in a dream...

"Oh, come and introduce yourself... Well, you can call me Wendy, the best bard in Mondstadt, and possibly the best bard in all of Teyvat!"

He chuckled, as if he had never been troubled.

Then he came closer all of a sudden, his fair face, whose gender was almost difficult to tell, was very close to Youya, but surprisingly, she did not feel offended.

On the contrary, I think that's how Wendy should be.

She smiled softly.

"Wendy? What a nice name. I think she would be very compatible with me."

"You think so too, haha! That's great. When I saw you from afar before, I felt that we must be a good match."

Although he said so, Youya couldn't remember when she had seen him before, which was really embarrassing.

As if she could see what she was thinking, Wendy returned to her seat and waved at her indifferently.

"I saw you when you were flying in the sky. At that time, I was thinking how free that girl must be who owned the whole sky and saw the world instead of the city walls."

He rested his cheek on his hand and looked at her curiously.

“Can you share with me a little bit, that feeling?”

"Wendy has so many questions. Let me answer them one by one."

Youya tried to prop herself up. She was not used to answering other people's questions while lying down, and she always felt it was not formal enough.

Seeing that her movements were a bit labored, Wendy quickly lent a hand and lifted the girl up properly, propping her up on the propped-up pillows.

At this time, Youya was completely relieved and also had some guesses about the bard who called himself "Wendy".

She exhaled and spoke softly.

"First of all, although I felt a little out of control when I woke up just now, I feel much better now. At least, apart from this pair of useless legs, there seems to be no obvious changes in other parts of my body."

The girl tried pinching the soft flesh on her arm. In addition to the usual pain, she could also clearly feel being "pinched".

Although my legs remain unchanged, perhaps no change is the best change.

"Secondly——"

Youya looked at the fruit basket beside the table, picked up an apple and took a bite without hesitation, leaving a small tooth mark.

“Apples taste better when the skin is left on.”

"Haha, great minds think alike."

Wendy blinked and ate one as well. The apple was crisp, sweet and juicy, just right for moistening the throat.

"As for singing, although I don't mind, and I even like to listen to songs in the morning, but this is a hospital now, right?"

The girl swallowed the fruit pulp and looked at the obviously more luxurious furnishings around her, and became a little hesitant.

"That's right. This is a place specially provided for those knights who are recovering from injuries or seriously ill people. The atmosphere here is quite good."

Wendy answered, while he had already eaten half of his apple, as if he had swallowed it without chewing it much.

Mr. Wendy, who claims to be the best bard in all of Teyvat, wouldn't have not eaten yet so early in the morning and chose to come to this little girl's ward to eat some fruit, right?

For some reason, such a rude thought popped up in Youya's mind.

In order to hide her guilty conscience, she looked away slightly and spoke in a low voice.

"Forget it then, just in case it disturbs others."

"I see. It's a pity, but it doesn't matter. I believe there will be many opportunities to perform again in the future."

Wendy did not show much regret, but put the harp on her waist generously and looked at her with sparkling eyes.

It seemed as if he was waiting for her to make a profound comment on the last question.

Youya couldn't help but think about this, and...

Mr. Yegor's last words.

To be honest, she was indeed moved by the other party.

That is the greatest freedom that the world and all who witness it can have.

It sounds really exciting, different from the experience of flying in the air but with his thoughts in mind.

Youya lowered her eyes slightly, her slightly long eyelashes like butterfly wings, and she stared at her hands.

"To be honest, I may disappoint you, Wendy. I don't know how to describe her, this city-state, and the world. I am still too young and don't understand them well enough."

Then she looked at Wendy and folded her hands in her lap.

"But if I must describe it, it should be... beautiful and cruel."

"Why do you say that?"

Wendy watched her expectantly.
