What bad intentions could the original dragon have?

Otherwise, the Fatui and Mondstadt's old nobles would have joined forces and posted slogans all over the city saying "The Dragon of the East Wind has betrayed Mondstadt, and the Guardians of the Four Winds cannot be trusted."

It’s just that there are smart people, and of course there are stupid people, but the largest number of people are those who just follow the crowd.

After all, no matter how clean the [Knights of Favonius] are, there must be some unclean parts. As long as we find these unclean parts and expand them, and then spread rumors, and then combine them with the incident of the [Wind Demon Dragon], we can form a tricky rumor.

After all, it takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it. What's more, what the "Fools" and the "Old Nobility" said was 100% true, they just concealed some things.

The Knights of Favonius are not that clean, right? This cannot be refuted.

The Wind Demon Dragon is Tevarin, the East Wind Dragon, right? This cannot be refuted.

"Yes, but..." Even if you want to explain, many people can't hear the "but" behind it.

----

Wendy's poetry tells the truth that has been hidden all along without reservation.

[Wind Demon Dragon] is [Four Wind Guardian·East Wind Dragon] Tevarin.

In order to protect Mondstadt, it fought with the dark dragon Durin, swallowed the poisonous blood, and fell into a deep sleep.

But now, it wakes up again, but no one recognizes it.

The eyes of [Dragon of the East Wind] were blinded by poisonous blood.

At the beginning of the 'Dragon Disaster', Tevarin reawakened, and in his eyes, he communicated with people using his old poems and language.

But what responded to it was people's fear and cursing.

But in reality, what Tevarin used was not poetry and language, but dirty winds.

Tevarin felt puzzled and bewildered. After repeated failed negotiations, Tevarin realized that something was wrong with himself. He thought of using the remaining power of the God of Wind left in the 'Temple of the Four Winds' to sober himself up.

It's like a drunk person who finds himself really drunk and tries to make a cup of honey to sober up.

But Tevarin forgot that using the 'Temple of the Four Winds' to allow a thousand winds to flow could indeed wash over its body, but the thousand winds that flowed were not something that ordinary people could withstand.

Soon, Wendy's story ended.

He made public facts that were tacitly concealed by the vast majority of people.

There was no concealment of Tevarin’s mistakes, nor of the cause and effect that preceded and followed them.

So, whether Tevarin is right or wrong, or whether the mistakes he made can be forgiven, all depends on the scale in the hearts of the people of Mond.

A.34 Miss Nana, please pay the bill

"Now that he has told this story, Captain Qin won't stop him?" Ying asked Qin beside her.

"There is no need to stop him from telling the truth." Jyn shook her head. "Every citizen of Mondstadt has the right to know the truth."

"But what they know must be the truth."

"Rather than the 'truth' that has been exaggerated, cut out, or deliberately guided."

"Wow, you are worthy of being Captain Jean." Paimon looked at Jean with admiration.

"It's the [Acting Leader]." Qin slightly emphasized her identity.

The performance was over, and most of the people who had heard the story about Tevarin left with thoughtful expressions.

Although there were quite a few people who stayed where they were, most of them were thinking about something.

Qin walked up to Wendy with confidence.

"Hello, bard Wendy, I am the Acting Leader of the Knights of Favonius, Jyn." Jyn performed a serious knight's salute. "Thank you for making the truth about Tevarin known to the public."

"Oh? Can we tell you that the [Dragon of the East Wind] has betrayed Mondstadt?" Wendy seemed very surprised.

"Of course." Qin nodded seriously. "Mond is a free country, and freedom of speech is also a kind of freedom, but the premise of freedom of speech is to know the truth."

"Well, you are worthy of being the Acting Leader. You see things very clearly." Wendy nodded. "So, since you don't intend to hold the drunken poet responsible, what do you want from me?"

"Since Lord Wendy has already made it public that the East Wind Dragon is the Wind Demon Dragon, it is urgent to restore the crazy East Wind Dragon to normal."

In the short term, the people will certainly be most tolerant of the mistakes made by Tevarin because he has protected Mondstadt for thousands of years.

But as time went on, and the longer the 'dragon plague' was resolved, the greater the people's resentment would become, until they could no longer forgive Tevarin.

Moreover, the [Faints] and [Old Nobility] are secretly making moves, so this time will be greatly shortened.

So now, the 'dragon disaster' must be resolved in the shortest possible time.

"So, what does the Knights of Favonius plan to do?" Wendy's idea was to follow the plan of the Knights of Favonius and provide assistance in the process.

"Your story just now has already explained the reason why the [East Wind Dragon] went crazy, so the next step is to find a solution." Qin has roughly guessed Wendy's identity.

In other words, Wendy was not hiding her identity at all.

He was able to clearly know Tevarin's story, blend his piano music with the wind, and he was able to ask the Knights of Favonius so naturally what they were going to do.

The only one who can do this is probably the best bard in Teyvat, the Wind Singer.

However, since Wendy did not take the initiative to reveal her identity, Qin would not deliberately expose it.

Of course...Wendy's appearance also allowed Qin to be more relaxed in her next actions.

"Since Tevarin became like this because he swallowed Durin's poisonous blood, then the source must be Durin." Qin expressed her thoughts.

Tevarin was still alive and very powerful, and given its hostile attitude, it naturally couldn't attack Tevarin.

Then, let's start with Du Lin.

Since the poisonous blood could affect Tevarin for five hundred years, it is impossible for the toxicity to disappear so easily.

And Du Lin's body is in the snow mountain. By studying the toxicity of Du Lin's body, we should be able to find clues.

As for how to remove the poison from Tevarin, we must find Albedo, and it is estimated that Albedo and Lisa will need to work together.

"Oh? That's a really clear idea." Wendy nodded, pinching her chin. "But is it too late to start studying Du Lin now?"

"There's no need to study Dulin. If it's just about the poison in Tevarin..." Zhong Ling suddenly clapped her hands, attracting the attention of several people. "Ying, do you remember what we got that day?"

"Miss Zhong Ling is saying..." Ying's eyes lit up when she heard Zhong Ling's words.

Then, a clear, teardrop-shaped crystal appeared in her hand.

"Eh?" Ying's eyes widened as she looked at the crystal in her hand. "It... seemed to be red that day, right?!"

"What is this?!" Seeing the clear crystal, Wendy couldn't help but take a step forward. "This is the crystal formed from Tevarin's tears."

"But it was red before?" Ying blinked blankly.

"Hmm..." Wendy was also a little confused. "I can feel that the elemental power in the crystal is very pure, without any impurities."

"Miss Ying, I have another crystal here." Wendy said, and a dark red crystal appeared in his hand. "Try to input elemental power into it."

"Well, I'll try." Ying nodded and took the crystal.

The crystal, which was like poison to ordinary people, did not cause Ying any discomfort in her hand.

The wind surged out from Ying's body, forming a vortex that wrapped around the crystals.

Visible to the naked eye, the dark red color of the crystals was gradually fading, and it completely disappeared in just a few seconds.

"This..." Wendy was stunned for a moment and then laughed. "Wow~ You have incredible power."

"People like you are destined to be included in the poems sung by bards."

This guy's tone changed in an instant.

When he mentioned Tevarin earlier, his tone was a little heavy.

But when he saw that Ying actually possessed the ability to purify, he instantly relaxed.

Zhong Ling knew very well that this guy saw someone who could solve the problem, and in an instant he even thought about how many fish he wanted to catch.

"Then, as a bard, shouldn't you be the first to start composing poems?" Zhong Ling said with his hands in his sleeves, maintaining a faint smile.

"Hmm~" Wendy put one hand on his waist, pinched his chin and thought. "Indeed, the story of a hero needs to be witnessed, and the duty of a bard is to spread the story of a hero."

"Let me follow you for a while, so I can witness the birth of a hero."

After Wendy finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Zhong Ling.

"But before that, I have something very important to discuss with Miss Nana." Wendy narrowed her eyes and smiled evilly. "Miss Nana, please settle the bill for last night at Angel's Gift if you have time."

"I am just a weak bard and cannot afford such a high price."

"You got the wrong person." Zhong Ling's expression didn't change at all. "My name is Zhong Ling, who is Nana?"

A.35 Barbatos actually does serious work?

"Since Miss Ying has the power to remove the poisonous blood from Tevarin, our plan needs to be changed." Qin pinched her chin as she thought about the next course of action.

Originally, Qin planned to go to the snowy mountains to find a way to remove the poison from Tevarin's body from Durin's corpse.

But now it’s different, since Ying has this ability, we will rely on Ying’s power.

Although we have to find a way to remove the poison in the end, at least relying on Ying's power is the fastest way now, and solving the "dragon disaster" is urgent.

"In fact, according to our investigation, after Tevarin was repelled by Miss Ying that day, it flew towards the 'Wind Dragon Ruins' and has not appeared again since then."

"That is to say, we must find Tevarin first before we can remove the poison from it."

"'Wind Dragon Ruins'?" Wendy raised an eyebrow. "Oh... Did Tevarin choose to rest there?"

"Hmm... no wonder, when the Thousand Winds Flow, the place that serves as the 'lungs' is not the 'Thousand Winds Temple' but 'there'."

"It is normal for Tevarin to stay there for a while after activating the power of the Temple of the Four Winds."

"After the Thousand Winds stop circulating, it will continue to circulate for a while. With Tevarin's own strength, it will not be able to find out that the Thousand Winds circulating in the Temple of the Four Winds has stopped for several days."

“That’s good news.”

Although she did not explicitly say that she was the [God of Wind] Barbatos, Wendy simply stopped pretending and explained some of the things she knew.

"So, what we need to do next is to go to the 'Wind Dragon Ruins' and beat up Tevarin?" Ying asked with her head tilted.

Since I have the [Wind God] on my side, it should be easy to beat up Tevarin and then let me purify him, right?

"Oh, that won't do." Wendy shook her head. "The 'Wind Dragon Ruins' has become Tevarin's 'nest', and the Thousand Winds have not completely disappeared. If Tevarin is there, he will have power that rivals that of the old demon gods."

"There's no way we'll be able to defeat Tevarin there."

"Um, another difficult problem." Paimon spread his hands.

"So, should we try to lure Tevarin out?" Qin thought of another way.

Since it is impossible to defeat Tevarin in the 'Wind Dragon Ruins', then lure it out.

"If possible...can we try to negotiate with Tevarin?"

"Well~ This is a good idea, but we don't have the means to attract Tevarin."

"This bastard, he already had a perfect plan after Ying showed his power of purification." You can see it by connecting what Wendy said.

From the beginning he shifted the solution from 'Let's go fight Tevarin' to 'Let's bring Tevarin out for a conversation'.

However, he was always guiding, using this method to get Qin to tell Wendy her own plan.

"But why is Barbatos so weak... and he..." Zhong Ling kept a smiling expression and closed her eyes.

At the same time, he released his perception and carefully investigated Wendy's situation.

Suddenly, Zhong Ling found the same toxin in Wendy's body.

"This guy?!" Zhong Ling's aura fluctuated for a moment, and this fluctuation made Ying, Qin, and Paimeng tremble involuntarily.

It was like being suddenly chilled.

However, the fluctuation only lasted for a moment, and Zhong Ling opened his eyes again.

There was worry in her eyes.

Of course, she was not worried about Wendy, after all, Ying was right next to her.

I thought only Tevarin was infected with the poison, but I didn't expect that even the [God of Wind] was infected.

If even the [God of Wind] got hit... then what about the [God of Rock]?

"No, I can't be sure yet." Zhong Ling suppressed the urge to go back to Liyue to take a look. "Since my brother has been managing Liyue for five hundred years and has never made any mistakes, it means that my brother is fine."

'And it's not certain whether Barbatos was poisoned because of the underground kingdom they went to that year or because of his connection with Tevarin...'
