What bad intentions could the original dragon have?

The result was that Qin couldn't find many people capable of taking on the task.

In addition to the 'Temple of the East Wind Dragon', there are three more. Kaeya and Lisa have the ability to recapture the 'Temple of the Four Winds' alone, so there is only one left.

If they don't take back the three temples in one go, it will attract the attention of the Wind Dragon, and they won't have the strength to face the Wind Dragon head-on.

But Amber's strength is still not enough to retake the temple alone.

But it's fine now.

With the new forces added, they can take over all the 'Four Wind Temples' in a short period of time while the Wind Dragon is not paying attention. This way, the wind around Mondstadt will be weakened, and things will be much easier.

However, Zhong Ling couldn't understand it. With Tevarin's strength, as long as the Wind God Barbatos didn't show up, Tevarin could destroy Mondstadt by himself. Mondstadt, with its defenses empty, had no power to resist Tevarin at all.

So the question is, why did Tevarin use such a troublesome method to borrow the power of the "Temple of the Four Winds" to stir up a storm in Mondstadt?

Tevarin's own strength was much stronger than this level of wind.

So, what is Tevarin's reason for doing this?

Does Tevarin want to destroy Mondstadt?

If it wanted to destroy Mond, then Mond would have been gone long ago if it had just taken action.

But if it didn't want to destroy Mond, why did it attack Mond?

A.19 Talisman

Just as Liyue has the [Thousand Rock Army], [Liyue Seven Stars], and [Immortals], these are people or non-humans who have made a 'contract' with [Ground God] Morax.

Such beings are collectively referred to as [Followers of the Rock God].

Those who did not join these ranks were the [People of the Rock God].

Of course, there is no conflict between the subjects and their dependents.

Those born in Liyue today are all [People of the Rock God].

However, [Followers] are generally given the responsibility of protecting and guiding.

Mond has a similar existence.

The [Followers of the Wind God] are collectively referred to as the [Four Wind Guardians].

[Eagle of Favonius] is [Knights of Favonius].

[Lion of the South Wind] refers to the [Lionfang Knight], and the modern [Lionfang Knight] is Jean Gunnhildr.

The "Wolf of the North Wind" refers to the "Knight of the North Wind". The modern "Knight of the North Wind" is Falgar, who led most of the Knights of Favonius to go on an expedition and left Mondstadt.

The last "Dragon of the East Wind" refers to Tevarin.

To a certain extent, the Knights of Favonius correspond to the Thousand Rocks. Their members usually do not have the 'Eye of God', but they are well-trained civilians. Although they do not have the 'Eye of God', it does not mean that they are really weak.

The [Lion of the South Wind] and the [Wolf of the North Wind] correspond to the [Seven Stars of Liyue], who are responsible for protecting and guiding.

[Dragon of the East Wind] corresponds to [Immortals] who possess extraordinary combat power and will not easily show up in front of people.

However, one thing to note is.

The power of the 'Eye of God' is certainly important, and those who possess the 'Eye of God' usually have excellent combat capabilities.

But it is not only by possessing the 'Eye of God' that one can become powerful.

'Eye of God' is like an equipment. In the hands of two people with similar powers, the one with 'Eye of God' is equivalent to having one more means, and naturally can gain a greater advantage.

A truly strong person possesses great power even without using elemental power.

In other words, the existence of the 'Eye of God' only raises the bottom line.

Just like Amber, if she is not good at archery, she won't be able to hit the enemy even if she has the 'Eye of the Fire God'.

Moreover, although people who do not possess the "Eye of God" cannot directly control elemental power, they can also use elemental power through special means.

Just like the talisman paper that Zhong Ling used to seal her power, she could give the talisman paper to someone who didn't have the 'Eye of God', and the person who got the talisman paper would be able to use the power contained in it.

This is the "Talisman", one of the secret techniques of the Liyue Immortal Family.

Of course, this is just one of the means, there are many other methods.

The most classic one is 'Alchemy'.

The reason for saying this is...

"Ying, these are for you." According to the distribution, Zhong Ling, the eldest lady who "has little fighting power but is very rich", will act together with Miss Lisa.

Zhong Ling was worried that Ying and Amber's fighting ability was insufficient, so she gave Ying a stack of talismans.

"What...what are these?" Ying's eyes widened as she looked at the stack of colorful talisman papers that Zhong Ling handed over.

At a rough glance, there are about fifteen pictures.

One worth two hundred thousand Moras, here is... three million Moras!

"No, no, no, these are too expensive!" If there were only one or two, Ying would probably hesitate for a moment and then accept them, after all, she really needed them.

Her own power was blocked, but after touching the [Seven Days Statue·Wind], she unlocked the use of wind elemental power.

However, the power of wind element is not significant among all the elements. But if someone can cooperate, the wind element can exert several times the effect. It is a typical attribute of team combat.

If there is a talisman, it can probably replace half a person.

So, if there were only one or two cards, she would just accept them after a little hesitation.

But these fifteen photos...they just met by chance and just slept for one night and didn't do anything else.

Even if he did everything, it's not worth three million Mora! ?

"It's okay, just three million." Zhong Ling spread his hands indifferently.

In fact, Zhong Ling just didn’t know.

The talisman in her hand was worth two hundred thousand Mora, referring to the price of goods five hundred years ago.

In that era, immortals and mortals often interacted with each other, and [Cangming Yuanjun] would even participate in the "Ceremony of Inviting Immortals".

But now, the immortals live in "Jueyunjian" and will never show up in front of mortals easily.

Talismans, something made by immortals, naturally have a very high price.

In that era, talismans were considered consumables, so their prices were naturally not "high".

And now, talismans have become collectibles.

"Ah, this..." Ying didn't know how to answer, or in other words...how rich is Zhong Ling's family? !

We are just strangers who met by chance! Miss Zhong Ling, please don't trust strangers too much!

"Well...thank you." Ying still chose to take the talisman handed over by Zhong Ling.

"Yeah." Although Zhong Ling knew that they were still strangers, she would feel uneasy when a stranger suddenly gave her a gift of such great value.

But there was no other way around it. No matter what, Zhong Ling had to ensure Ying's safety. After all, Ying was needed to detoxify the poison in his body.

----

"Ms. Zhong Ling, thank you for your support this time." Lisa said to Zhong Ling as they walked together on the somewhat messy road.

"How could that be?" Because Zhong Ling possesses the 'Water God's Eye', she is the best match for Lisa who possesses the 'Thunder God's Eye'.

"However, as a member of the Knights of Favonius, I have some questions that I hope Miss Zhong Ling can answer."

A magician's perception of elemental forces far exceeds that of ordinary 'God's Eye owners', and Lisa is the best among magicians, a genius graduate of the Xumi Academy that appears 'once in two hundred years', and has the title of [Rose Witch].

Others could not perceive it accurately, but Lisa vaguely saw another side of Zhong Ling.

The flamboyant branches rose from her hair, and the frosty hair flowed like water waves. Even her ears were not human ears.

Although I have seen similar ones before, they are essentially different.

Little Diona in Mondstadt has non-human blood, which is manifested in her cat ears, cat tail and other characteristics.

But little Dionna is only of non-human descent, the offspring of the union of human and non-human.

The Miss Zhong Ling in front of him did not have non-human blood, but she herself... was not human.

"Okay, as long as it doesn't violate the 'contract', then I will definitely tell you everything I know." Zhong Ling emphasized the word 'contract'.

"Okay, there's nothing more to ask." Hearing Zhong Ling's words, Lisa lowered her voice and laughed twice.

Zhong Ling's words actually answered what Lisa wanted to ask.

A.20 Free Mondstadt

As a magician, Lisa could easily see the extraordinary elemental power in Zhong Ling.

That level of elemental power is not something that ordinary people can achieve, and it is extremely difficult for humans to reach that level.

And if it reaches that level, perhaps the boundaries of life have gradually transformed.

Since the person who holds the 'Eye of God' is called the 'Original God'.

So, when the ‘Genshin’ transcends the boundaries, can it still be considered a ‘human’?

For example, the first generation [Guardian of the South Wind] Vanessa, who has ascended to become a god, do you think she is a human or a god?

It is hard to say that beings that transcend boundaries are simply humans, and the elemental power from the bell spirit that Lisa saw was at a level that transcended boundaries.

Add to that the "contract" that Zhong Ling mentioned, and combining these two points, it is not difficult to guess that Zhong Ling is an immortal.

Moreover, there is the water elemental power flowing between the hair and the flamboyant 'antlers'.

With a little reasoning, Lisa was able to guess Zhong Ling's true identity.

In fact, at this point, it doesn’t matter whether the guess is correct or not.

Anyway, Zhong Ling’s lowest status is [Immortal].

As for whether the upper limit is "that person" or not, it doesn't matter anymore. In short, it is an existence that should not be provoked.

"In the mortal world, I usually don't show extraordinary power, so Miss Lisa can rest assured." Although Lisa did not show any concern, Zhong Ling still explained. "Also, with my status, I will naturally not cause trouble for the [Emperor of Rock]. After all, this is Mondstadt."

"Since Miss Zhong Ling said so, then of course I believe it." Judging from the other party's strength, if she really wanted to cause trouble, Mond seemed to have no ability to stop her.

However, it was recorded in a certain document that the White Dragon of Liyue and the [God of Wind] Barbatos were close friends.

So she really wasn't worried that Zhong Ling would cause trouble.

"But why did you Mond people abandon even the 'Temple of the Four Winds'?" This seemed incredible to Zhong Ling.

Liyue also has an annual "Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals".

In addition to the "Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals", during the annual "Sea Lantern Festival", the images of the deceased immortals are made into a huge "Sky Lantern" and released to commemorate the immortals' contributions.

Apart from anything else, even [Cangming Yuanjun] has not appeared for five hundred years, but there is still a procedure to invite her in the "Ceremony of Inviting the Immortal".

It is incredible that Mondstadt's [Guardian of the Four Winds] is still there, but the temple has been abandoned.

"Well... probably because, except for the East Wind Dragon, the other Four Wind Guardians are too close to people."

The people of Mond even have to trouble the [Guardian of the South Wind, Lion's Fang Knight] for something as simple as finding a cat, so how can they expect people to be respectful to the [Guardian of the Four Winds]?

"That's really interesting." Zhong Ling sighed. "You Mond people are really too free."

"..." Lisa did not respond to Zhong Ling's comment. After all, it was not something she could say.

Although some Mond people are indeed very free, there are some things that cannot be responded to casually.

Zhong Ling's identity allowed her to speak, but Lisa couldn't respond.

"How far is it?" After parting with Ying and the others at the crossroads in front of Mond City, they walked along the trail for nearly two kilometers.

Although if Zhong Ling were to fly two thousand meters, it would probably take less than a minute.

But if you walk there, it seems quite far.

"From here to the 'Temple of the Lion of the South Wind', it's probably about... right?" Lisa answered Zhong Ling after estimating the distance.

"..." Zhong Ling was silent for a moment, then nodded in understanding. "I now understand how your 'Temple of the Four Winds' was abandoned."

The 'Temple of the Lion of the South Wind' and the 'Temple of the Wolf of the North Wind' are very far away from the city gate, and there are strange monsters on the road.

Hillbillies and slimes are relatively common, and there are also slightly less common liarflowers and the like...

Are you asking people to go on a worship visit or to take a test?
