What bad intentions could the original dragon have?

The halo began to stretch and lengthen, gradually condensing, and finally completely blended with the [West Wind Standard Longsword].

When the halo completely dissipated, the long sword that seemed to solidify the color of the sky appeared in front of Ying.

One can feel its power at just one glance.

And Ying could even look directly at the blessing of the sword. Its spine was breathing with the blessing of the God of Wind, and it contained the power of the sky and the long wind.

There is no doubt that this is a divine weapon, and even the [Wind Eagle Sword] that I saw in Qin's hand yesterday is not inferior to it.

"Tevalin condensed his power as the Wind God's Follower into a long sword. He said it was his thank you gift to you." In fact, Wendy only said half of the words.

This is indeed the power of the Wind God's Follower, but it also contains the power of Tevarin himself, but even so it cannot truly transform.

What made it appear was the awakened memories of the people of Mond and their gratitude to Tevarin.

Combining these, it was truly "forged".

As for the [West Wind Standard Longsword]...it actually just provides the concept of a 'one-handed sword'. Without it, it might have become something like a spear, a greatsword, a scroll, or a bow.

"Is this really...for me?" He swallowed in shock.

She could feel that if she held the sword, her power would be truly unlocked... although it might not be all of it, but at least the power of 'wind' could be released.

"Of course." Wendy threw the sword in his hand out.

"Eh?!" Ying caught the sword in panic.

Just by picking it up, Ying could feel the surging elemental force. With the help of this sword, she could even command the Thousand Winds of Mondstadt that had fallen asleep again.

From a certain perspective, as long as Ying is willing, she can use this sword to create a storm equivalent to the "Dragon Disaster" without even the help of the "Temple of the Four Winds".

Wendy actually just threw such a precious thing over like that.

"Wendy!"

"Hehehe~" Wendy laughed evilly twice. He also knew that if he didn't throw it out in this way, Ying might still be troubled for a while.

Now, the sword is in Ying's hands and belongs to her.

"Okay, I will..." Before Ying could finish her words, she caught a glimpse of two balls of black mist out of the corner of her eye.

"Who is it?!" Wind elements gathered in his palm.

And at this moment, the elemental power in her hands inexplicably dissipated... No, it was disturbed!

Two balls of black mist transformed into human shapes and grabbed towards Ying.

Although the sudden disturbance of elemental power caught Ying off guard, Ying's strength is not just represented by elemental power.

Even though she no longer had the physical strength she had back then, the martial arts she had honed across countless worlds were by no means false.

With a swing of the sword in his hand, the attack route of the two people was completely blocked at a tricky angle. With the sharpness of this sword, anyone who was touched would inevitably be injured.

The two human figures formed by the black mist did not dare to resist the sharpness of the sword and immediately chose to avoid it.

"Wendy!" When Ying wanted to pull Wendy, a cold current suddenly hit, and Ying's feet were covered with a layer of ice. "What's going on?"

Ying tried to use the elemental power in her body to dispel the ice on her feet, but when the elemental power was released, it was inexplicably disturbed and disappeared.

"Oh, I finally found my hamster."

Ying raised her head and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

In that direction, a white-haired woman wearing half a mask was walking towards them, followed by two women in purple clothes.

The two men in black who had been forced back by her before also reappeared, holding sacrificial knives in their hands and looking at Ying vigilantly.

Although it was just one round, and it couldn't even be called a contest, they could still understand that this girl was highly skilled in martial arts.

Even though her feet are now fixed, she has definitely not lost her fighting ability.

But it didn't matter, they just had to stop her.

"Chewining on wooden stakes and rice bags, causing a lot of trouble for Mond." The white-haired woman came in front of Wendy and looked down at her.

"Mice always blame others for the bad things they do." Although her feet were also frozen, Wendy did not lose out in words.

"Oh, rude bard." The powerful elemental force of ice gathered in the woman's palm.

"Wendy!" Ying took a deep breath and the long sword in his hand drew the power of the wind.

Although she couldn't use the elemental power in her body, she was able to use the elemental power on her sword.

At this moment, in the icy mist filled with the power of ice element, a transparent shadow swayed in front of Ying.

The shadowy figure stretched out his hand and landed on the blade.

However, in a moment, the wind gathered on the sword's edge disappeared completely.

"Hush." ​​A gentle breath sounded in Ying's ears.

"?!"

Although it was just a 'hushing' sound, Ying knew clearly who the sound came from.

Just as Ying stared at the phantom with eyes wide open, the woman's hand had already reached into Wendy's body and pulled out a green chess piece.

"Oh, this is the 'Heart of God'?" The woman looked at the 'chess piece' in her hand and snorted coldly. "[Wind God]? Ridiculous..."

Just as she was about to say something, a light voice sounded in her ears.

"Now that your goal has been achieved, leave now."

"!" The woman widened her eyes.

The surrounding time and space were replaced without anyone noticing.

Beyond the huge stone platform is an endless sea of ​​clouds.

And among the sea of ​​clouds there was a huge star-blue eyeball, and the cold vertical pupil in the eyeball was staring at her.

"If you say one more word, you will all stay."

It only takes a moment for time and space to be replaced, and after this moment, the surrounding time and space are replaced back.

The woman could feel that eye still staring at her.

"Let's go. We have already got the 'Heart of God'. We must not leave any evidence before the Knights arrive." The woman waved her cloak, and icy mist obscured the figures of all of them.

When the icy fog dissipated, they had disappeared without a trace.

"Okay, stop acting." The shadow beside Ying gradually solidified, and Zhong Ling appeared with his hands in his sleeves.

"Hey~" Wendy, who was lying on the ground half dead, jumped up with a somersault.

"???"

A.62 Stranger Chasing the Wind

——The wind rises——

"All the incidents have been resolved satisfactorily." Wendy didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not, and casually lay down on a root of a big tree that was exposed above the ground.

"What's your reason for doing this?" Zhong Ling asked Wendy.

Before, Wendy had told Zhong Ling and Qin that no matter what sound they heard or what elemental force they sensed, they must not come out.

With Wendy saying so, Qin naturally had no choice but to do as she said.

But Zhong Ling wouldn't do that, so she hid herself and followed out.

When Zhong Ling saw that woman appear, she knew what Wendy was going to do.

So she didn't show up rashly.

After all, no matter how weak Wendy is, he is still one of the Seven Gods. Even if his divine power is greatly reduced, that woman cannot do anything to him.

Zhong Ling was very aware of Wendy's power.

Two thousand six hundred years ago, the wind elf Barbatos and the young man he mentioned gathered the people and launched a rebellion against the [Demon of the Fierce Wind] Diakarabian.

That battle is an honor for the people of Mond today. It was the courage of their ancestors that defeated the tyrant and gained the hard-earned freedom.

But Barbatos must remember one thing, their victory is not glory, not something to be praised.

All demons love their people, even Dekalabian, who is said to be the ruthless "Lonely King of the Tower".

And their victory was achieved by taking advantage of this.

Diocletian's power was far greater than Andrius'. In fact, at the last moment, he could have killed Andrius and ascended to the throne of the God of Wind.

But he didn't do that.

Just as Andrius felt that he could not bring happiness to people by ascending to the throne, so he gave up the fight and gave the throne that was within his grasp to Barbatos.

The same was true of Diocletian.

Perhaps, he began waiting when he built the wind wall, waiting for a "turning point" among the thousands of winds.

When the 'traitors' and the wind elf arrived in front of him, he killed many of the 'traitors'.

In fact, those "traitors" were also the people that Diocletian loved, but their sacrifice was necessary.

Because blood needs to be engraved.

The "freedom" that our ancestors wrested from the "Lonely King of the Tower" with their blood is by no means a cheap thing.

Therefore, the [Demon of the Fierce Wind] killed those 'traitors'.

The girl who loved the devil was torn apart by the wind, and so was the young poet who sang the song of resistance.

When the blood stained the tower, Diocletian looked at the wind elf in front of him and handed over his power to him.

But Diocletian was the only candidate for the position of [God of Wind] at that time, and his power was still too strong.

When the tower collapsed, thousands of winds blew and all the countries were shaken.

Even the Seven Rulings of the Earth could not have imagined that Diakarapian would die suddenly on the eve of his ascension to the throne of God.

The wind elves who obtained the power of Diakarabian also met the minimum requirements to become a demon god.

It is also because of this that Mondstadt is different from Liyue, Inazuma and other places.

Both Diocletian and Andrius went to their deaths voluntarily.

Andrius integrated his power into the earth, and his authority and soul remained in the Wolf Territory to protect the land. Because his power drained away slowly, it did not cause any harm to the land of Mondstadt.

Diakarapian's power is too strong for Barbatos to fully absorb, so his power will cause chaos in Mondstadt's storm.

But he did not leave behind his thoughts and power. His power was given to Barbatos, and his thoughts turned into expectations for the future and completely dissipated.

This is also the reason why the "evil" that lingers in Liyue all year round is still wailing in the wilderness, while Mondstadt has lost two demon gods but has no obsession with demon gods at all.

Barbatos, who received the power and authority of Diakara, is not strong among the seven gods, but he is also a superior among the demon gods.

Therefore, there must be a reason why Wendy chose to let that woman from the Fatui take away her "Heart of God".

However... Zhong Ling could watch that woman take away Wendy's 'Heart of God' because that was Wendy's own wish.

But at the same time, Wendy is also her friend, and she doesn't want Wendy to be humiliated.

Well, if they go even further and attack Ying first, then maybe Wendy won't be able to send out the "Heart of God".

"Hey, don't say that." Wendy shook her finger and then met Zhong Ling's narrowed eyes. "Oh, don't be like that."

"This is a 'contract'."

"'Contract'? What does that mean?" Paimon asked curiously.

"It's the catchphrase of Liyue's [Ground God] Morax." Wendy spread his hands and explained. "Just as [Wind God] Barbatos is also the [God of Freedom], [Ground God] Morax is the [God of Contract]."

"As long as he agrees and makes a contract with you, he will do it no matter how difficult it is."

"Wow... sounds like a very serious god." Paimon stomped his feet in the air.

"Haha, of course." Wendy said helplessly. "The ancient rock is naturally as serious as the rock."

"..." Zhong Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, but did not say anything to Wendy.

"Ying, don't you have something you always wanted to ask him? You can ask now." Without defending Morax, Zhong Ling pushed Ying's shoulder.

"It's my turn at last." Ying walked in front of Wendy. "[Wind God] Barbatos, have you ever seen a blond boy who dresses similarly to me?"

"He probably has long hair like this." Ying expressed what she wanted to say through a series of gestures.

“…I haven’t seen it before.”
