"It's like a parent bird feeding its chicks."

"Ugh...!"

Barbara, whose face turned red and her mouth was dry after being fed by her, naturally remembered the last time she was fed.

She covered her blushing face and ran out of the room, but within two seconds a little head popped out from the door to remind her.

"Before I come back, you have to lie down and rest well, Miss Patient!"

"Yes, yes, my dear Miss Reverend Clifford."

As if she was happy about this change of dominance, Barbara closed the door and left quietly.

And Youya felt a little ashamed from her undisguised concern.

I lied to Barbara.

I will continue to tell countless lies in the future.

……

This period of conscience-torn life did not last long, and Barbara soon returned with a plate of delicious food.

The strong summer sun shone on the plate, and the aroma of food filled her nostrils, making Youya want to carefully cut the fried steak and devour it right away.

However, perhaps seeing Youya's desire for this, Barbara smiled and quickly prepared everything for her. Even the washing and grooming were easily done with the help of water elemental power.

It feels like I'm raising a useless person.

Youya suddenly thought of this.

However, her pace was not interrupted by this. Instead, she enjoyed her meal leisurely and leisurely.

It was almost as if she were enjoying this as her last meal, but she was not anxious, while Barbara muttered in a low voice with some disappointment.

"Were you just joking?"

This brought Youya back to her senses from her taste for the food. She cut off a piece generously and used a fork to put the piece of meat to the other person's lips with a sly smile.

"Even I wouldn't joke about food."

There was still doubt on Barbara's pretty face.

But this time she did not struggle as she did the first time. She quickly and solemnly bit off the piece of meat, chewed it carefully, and then commented.

"It's more delicious than my spicy dried fish."

"It's rude to compare food to food."

Barbara just smiled back at her, but after Youya cut another piece and poured lemon juice on it, she opened her trembling thin lips again, with an indelible blush on her cheeks.

It's a delicious delicacy.

Yuya thought so.

Chapter 108: Flame, Gradually Gentle

After such a meal that satisfied the appetite and was pleasing to the eyes, Youya finally brought up the matter about Sister Eula and the others.

In fact, she was not very worried about the safety of sister Eula and brother Diluk. Her presence here naturally meant that the other two were also safe.

What's more, before losing consciousness, he seemed to have used power similar to that of healing others. Logically speaking, there should be no problem with both of them.

Barbara also explained: "Their injuries were very minor, they were just a little exhausted. After treatment, they went back home."

As if she remembered something, Barbara frowned slightly and said, "Ah, Yuya's sister did say that she wanted to stay here, but she was persuaded to go back by the captain of the scout knight team. He said that she should go back and have a good rest first, and come to visit you tomorrow in the most energetic state."

"Grandpa An is back too. Looks like I have to move back from the Knights. What a pity... I've only been to the library there once."

"You can go there later. After all, the library is open to the public. But is there any reason why Yuya went there?"

Barbara said this in a comforting tone, but there was also a little curiosity in her eyes.

"Well... there are two reasons. The more public one is that Grand Master Falga invited me to join the Knights Templar. So even if it's just to cram for an exam, I have to go there often."

When talking about this, Youya felt a little disappointed. Considering her physical condition which was not suitable for calling upon elemental power, she would probably lose the opportunity to join the Knights Templar as an exception. If this continued, the burden would fall on Sister Eula alone.

However, she didn't want Barbara to worry about it, so she quickly spoke up again.

"As for the other reason, it's probably a little personal reason. After all, for a little bookworm like me, if I don't have books as a channel to expand my horizons and knowledge, my life will be missing a lot of flavor."

"Come to think of it, Youya really likes reading, and she knows a lot of things I've never heard of."

Barbara pursed her lips. In fact, she didn't have much experience in this area, although her good family education made her far more insightful and literate than her peers.

But in front of such an omnipotent sister, it is like chasing the wind that can never be caught. It is easy to lose patience and be willing to accept mediocrity.

Therefore, although she is not an illiterate woman, most of the books Barbara reads now are about religion, and such obscure and boring things do not seem to be good topics for chatting with friends.

It's okay if it happens once or twice, but if you make this a daily topic, you will definitely be treated as a fanatic and alienated!

Just when Barbara was secretly worried, Youya smiled and said, "If Barbara is interested, I can tell you more. But as a price, you have to tell me more legends about the God of Wind. That's fair."

"Eh, eh?" Barbara looked at her in disbelief, seeming very surprised at her yearning.

"Hmm? Is this a strange request? After all, I also want to know what everyone, or prayer priests like Barbara, think of the God of Wind."

Youya tilted her head slightly, her words were innocent, but it made Barbara hesitate, she had never thought of such words before.

After all, when it comes down to it, the fall of the old noble Lawrence was actually due to the fact that the great hero Vanessa only played a role in uniting the people of Mond in the struggle.

She stirred up the people's anger, unwilling to be tyrannically ruled and fooled. But it was impossible to complete this struggle without bloodshed.

The slaves, who have suffered oppression and humiliation, are in poor health all year round and have no good military skills, will face the private soldiers controlled by the nobles. Even if they can really complete the struggle, it will be a tragic victory with bloodstained Mondstadt.

If the "Leewind Agreement" had not appeared, the soldiers who had oppressed the slaves in the past would have woken up and feared that they would also become slaves of a foreign country, and would have chosen to defect, and the war would have been raging, engulfing the nobles.

I'm afraid Lawrence is not so easily overthrown.

Among these, the existence of the God of Wind can almost be said to have a decisive influence on this matter.

Without him, Vanessa would not have been able to defeat the dragon Ursa in the arena, and the tribesmen who supported her would have been sacrificed and become bait. It would have been even more impossible for her to lead the people of Mondstadt to fight and win a great victory, get rid of the old aristocracy's stubbornness, and usher in a new era for Mondstadt.

It can be said that everyone in Mondstadt may believe in Lord Wind God, but only the people of Lawrence family must have mixed feelings towards him.

Not to mention yearning——

However, the girl in front of her told her openly that she wanted to hear more legends about Lord Wind God.

How much of this is out of devotion to Lord Wind God, and how much is a cover for wanting to share common interests with her friend, only Youya knows.

But no matter which one it is, Barbara is extremely happy. It is a blessing in life to have a friend who is willing to change her hobbies for her.

Perhaps, even Lord Wind God would be moved by the sincerity of this friendship.

The laughter of the young girls was carried by the wind and heard by a cuckolded bard. He simply smiled and played again the poem that had been forgotten for too long.

That is to sing for what you see and play for what you hear.

The story of a band wandering the land.

……

noon.

Eula, Amber, and Diluk came to visit the girl.

Yuya's small ward was bustling with activity. Compared to her who still needed to stay in bed for observation, Sister Eula looked almost the same as usual. Even Diluk, who was exhausted, had recovered after a night's rest.

Little Amber, on the other hand, looked at her with tears in her eyes, and immediately hugged her and cried, saying that she was terrified.

After coaxing little Amber, Youya also looked at the two of them. Sister Youla naturally said the same old things, lecturing Youya that she was too reckless and told her not to do that again next time and to take good care of her health.

Although his eyes clearly revealed that he was proud of her.

Diluk brought some new information and gifts for visiting.

A large basket of grapes, a specialty of Chateau Chenxi. Of course, there are also other common fruits such as berry and sunset fruit.

On the other side are the barbed hookberries, berries with thorns that migrate by hanging on to the wolf's fur.

Although it can accidentally cause pain to careless people or animals, it is actually a Mondstadt specialty fruit that can be used as medicine.

"These are a little gift from Kaiya and I. My father also hopes to see you again. When Miss Youya recovers, I hope you will accept my invitation to visit the winery."

He also added.

"——It can be regarded as fulfilling our previous promise."

It was obvious that he was worried that his words would cause dissatisfaction in Eula, so he tried to sound more reasonable.

Yuya replied with a smile.

"I'm looking forward to going to the winery to escape the summer heat. Maybe I can learn some bartending techniques from Mr. Cripps and have a few cups of delicious black tea."

Seeing this, Diluk also raised his lips. He looked at the girl in front of him tenderly and said, "Father and Maid Adeline will definitely be very happy. Especially father, he has always been distressed that there is no suitable person to pass on his skills.

Including head maid Adeline, both I and Kaia have more or less ignored these things in order to improve as a knight, but Miss Yuya must have..."

"Hmm? Wait, this is too formal. Are you still calling me Miss Youya?"

The girl blinked at him and said with some grievance.

"I thought that after we went through life and death together, we could at least call each other by our names, or does Brother Diluk care about my identity?"

"..." Diluk was surprised for a moment, then he carefully observed Eula's expression and found that she did not show the expected anxious expression.

He then called the girl's name slowly but happily. It was the first time, and also the starting point for countless times in the future.

This day, even many years later, when he recalled it, he couldn't help but smile gently.

Chapter 109: The End of the Event

After seeing off Eula, Amberpi and Diluk, Kaeya and Jean came to visit her in the afternoon.

They seemed to have discussed it beforehand to avoid the noise caused by too many people and to avoid showing their concern to each other.

Compared to Jean, who also brought a basket of fruits as a gift of consolation, Kaia, who came empty-handed, made Barbara look at him frequently.

It’s not that she minded that the other party didn’t bring any gifts, but Barbara had actually heard some rumors about Kaia, and how should she put it, the temperament he gave people really made people feel that he was a playboy who was very good at sweet-talking girls.

Although in reality, Kaia, who is full of sweet words and good at making people happy, has indeed confirmed this in some aspects.

Youya had a pleasant chat with him, and also got some information about the final developments of the previous events.

After they escaped, they met the Knights of Favonius who came to rescue them. The dragon probably sensed the presence of many elite knights, so it did not dare to advance any further and chose to flee.

After investigating the scene, the dragon blood spilled on the ground and the broken dragon horns provided credible evidence for what Eula and Diluk confessed.

However, no one from the Fatui discovered anything. Although it was speculated that the explosion might have completely destroyed the remaining traces, people like the Winter Merchant and the Firefly Warlock were nowhere to be seen.

Fortunately, there were two Fatui soldiers brought back by Officer Nymph as witnesses.

However, after receiving the news, the diplomatic corps stationed in Mond demanded that more Fatui be stationed there, saying that their visiting personnel had been attacked by a dragon and they wanted to restore the truth and that they were worried about the safety of the area around Mond. They also strongly demanded the return of the two innocent Fatui soldiers.

Since the main culprit Yegor was not found, and there was no evidence that the two Fatui soldiers were involved in the crime, they were indeed not included in the testimony provided by Youya.

This led to Inspector General Ilok suppressing their trial on the grounds that it needed to be verified, and the matter came to a standstill.

After learning about this, Youya was not surprised, although from the expressions of Kaiya and Qin, they were obviously somewhat dissatisfied with the verdict.

But there is no way. The Knights of Favonius are not the only powerful order in Mondstadt. In order to avoid the recurrence of past cases similar to the old nobles, the Knights who have the power to decide Mondstadt's political orientation are also constrained.

For example, an inspection organization that investigates whether the knights are forming cliques or abusing their authority does have such power, and it is impossible to really ban this organization.

This is something that is tying one's own hands, but it is something that has to be done.

Of course, things like tripping up the Knights of Favonius and doing something out of the ordinary that aroused public outrage would naturally be investigated.

It's probably the same as a nesting doll, the inspection team that inspects your inspection team.

Let’s put this matter aside for now, after all, it has little to do with the boys and girls.

What really concerns them is the issue of rewarding people based on their merits.

Of course, Mond has commended the defeat of the evil dragon Ursa in the past. Rather, it can be said that the title of the great hero Vanessa was largely based on the fact that she made the Lord God of Wind appear and defeated the evil dragon Ursa, making it dare not come out to do evil for a long time.

But this involves another issue.

Although judging from the evidence, Eula and Diluk definitely did not lie, but they defeated the dragon Ursa with the help of their three children, and only at the cost of exhaustion, causing it to escape seriously injured and on the verge of death. This is a little too shocking no matter how you think about it.

This is something that no knight has been able to do in the past few hundred years. Although they are all holders of the Eye of God, and one of them even has the Eye of God with wind attribute, it is difficult to discuss such a special thing as identity.

It is clearly written in black and white that Lawrence once used the dragon Ursa to tyrannically rule Mondstadt in history.
