Supreme Bishop of Fontaine

"Could it be that he has forgotten...the agreement...between us Queen?"

Putting the Heart of God away, Themis once again looked down at Rosaline indifferently. This time, she did not ignore Rosaline's words. Instead, she replied calmly, "What is the agreement between the Supreme Bishop and the Ice Queen? Do you want me to repeat it to you?"

"........."

"The Ice Queen wants the Heart of God, and the Supreme Bishop promised the Ice Queen that he could give her the Heart of God, including but not limited to the Heart of the Water God. However, in exchange, each Heart of God would come with a condition."

Themis said calmly:

"And this Heart of the Wind God will be the first Heart of God that the Supreme Bishop will trade with the Ice Queen."

Rosalyn's chest was shaking with anger. "That was the Heart of God that I obtained. It originally belonged to Her Majesty the Queen!"

"But it now belongs to the Supreme Bishop."

Themis' voice was calm, but extremely irritating.

"It's your own fault that you failed to protect the Heart of God. The Supreme Bishop doesn't have to be held responsible for your mistake."

“Assholes…! Her Majesty the Queen will not forgive you!!”

Themis had no intention of speaking anymore. She just pinched Rosaline with her left hand and she fell into a coma.

Then, she flew away from here, slowly landing outside Mondstadt, and then...

The light enveloped and dissipated, Themis' pupils turned red, her wings disappeared, and her clothes became the same as Astraea's.

No, that's not right.

The girl with white hair and red eyes shook her body and turned around to look around with a confused look on her face.

"This is... outside Mondstadt? How... am I here?"

This is the end of the animated short.

Then, subtitles appeared.

『Prologue, Chapter 3, Complete』

Dragon and Freedom Song

"mission completed"

Chapter 16 A lot of information

"Oh my god, what's going on?! Wait, let me sort this out."

The last part of the plot was so explosive that after getting excited, Axue quickly patted her face to calm herself down and began to analyze.

"First of all, let us thank Ippolia, no, thank Ippolito Themis—this plot of torturing a woman is so meow-meow-good!"

The more angry he was with the lady before, the more enjoyable this plot is. Although the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine seems to have bad intentions and probably has no intention of returning the Heart of God to Wendy - but even so, it does not prevent this plot of torturing the lady from being so enjoyable and satisfying that it makes people feel happy and satisfied.

Moreover, the dialogue in this part of the plot is also very interesting, which makes people want to laugh when they read it.

Is it okay if I steal something you stole and then trade it with you?

"Just like Astraea, Themis is also the name of a goddess of justice, also in Greek mythology. So, in the plot, is there any connection between her and Astraea? The last plot paragraph has already made it clear that the two of them clearly share a body. Perhaps it's a dual personality? That's probably the setting. In short, Themis can't be mistaken for Astraea. The two can't be equated."

At first, Axue almost thought that everything Astralia had done before was fake.

It’s good to have a dual personality. It’s good to have a dual personality. Otherwise it would be too disillusioning - although that seems a bit good too?

In short, after accepting the setting of dual personality, Axue no longer only likes Astraea, but also likes the other Themis as well.

I believe other players should feel the same way.

First, she abused the lady and helped Wendy and the player to avenge themselves.

Secondly, she showed overwhelming strength, and she showed overwhelming strength as another personality of Astraea, who everyone likes and loves. This setting makes players instinctively excited about it.

Finally, she's just gorgeous—that's the most important thing.

In short, adding these three factors together, although Themis has just appeared, her popularity will definitely skyrocket.

"But let's not talk about that for now. Let's review the information revealed in this chapter and the foreshadowing left by all the PVs that miHoYo has released so far."

Having said that, Axue closed the game and logged into the community.

"Oh? Wendy's character PV and character demo are out already? Let's take a look at this first."

After opening the community, Axue discovered this, so she first clicked on Wendy's character PV "Winds from All Directions".

"The story I want to tell begins in the last millennium."

The story begins with Wendy's bardic narration.

"[Guardian of the South Wind] drives away the nobles."

"[West Wind Guardian] is taking shape."

"The Guardian of the North Wind returns from his wanderings and settles in the Wolfwood."

"The four winds have turned, and the reborn Free City has much to rebuild."

The screen turned, revealing Wendy and the backs of a red-haired woman.

Wendy continued:

"The Wind God visited the leader of the West Wind Eagles, but the Lionfang Knight didn't appreciate his kindness. The flaming-haired girl made noises chasing away squirrels, saying she had no time for music, having been burdened with paperwork thanks to the Wind God."

Seeing this, Axue couldn't help but smile.

The live broadcast room was also filled with comments like "You are worthy of it".

The video continued, switching to show Wendy and a particularly beautiful and gorgeous giant wolf.

"The Wind God visited the Wolf Lord and advised him to keep to himself and curb his demonic nature. The Wolf King of the North Wind growled threateningly."

At this point, Wendy lowered her voice, as if imitating the other person's tone, and said solemnly, "You troublemaking poet, you should say this to yourself."

Axue couldn't help laughing again. Wendy is really...it makes people speechless.

But it is indeed lovable.

At this time, the scene changed again, and Wendy and the wind dragon appeared, oh no, it was Tevarin, the guardian of the east wind.

"The wind god visits his first kin, helping him to blow away the ice and snow, and protect the green fields and free people."

"But the dragon seemed to think that 'help' from the gods shouldn't be cheering him on and playing the harp at the same time."

"Hahahahahaha!" Ah Xue finally couldn't help laughing out loud. "So all the ice and snow in Mondstadt was blown away by Tevarin? Isn't it the wind god who blows it? No wonder Jyn said that Mondstadt couldn't compete with Tevarin in his prime. He's too strong—he's the so-called follower, but he's actually doing the wind god's work?"

Just as Axue was laughing like this, the screen gradually went black, as if the PV had ended.

But at this moment, Tevarin's roar suddenly rang out.

"Get some serious business done! Barbatos--!!!!"

“HA ...

Axue couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"No, I've decided to pick Wendy! I was only planning on picking Leah, but now I have to!"

Although as the God of Wind he does not do his job every day, and is even so weak that he cannot even defeat a Fatui executive, but inexplicably, why does this kind of thing seem so interesting to Wendy?

After laughing for a while and watching the character demonstration, Axue finally opened the Footprints PV.

"Okay, old friends, now that we've finished the story in Mondstadt, let's rewatch this PV."

It's not just Axue, Da Ma Ge did the same thing as her.

"I said before the game launched that after we've finished some of the game's plot, we'll definitely have completely different impressions of this Footprints PV and the Report to Lady Funina PV."

When Da Ma Ge opened the Footprints PV, he felt a rare excitement, because he is a player who has high requirements for the game plot and has a unique hobby for analyzing the plot.

There are also many players in his live broadcast room who follow him just to watch his analysis of the game plot.

The PV starts playing.

The boy's voice sounded slowly like a clear spring.

"We didn't even get to say goodbye, so... I won't take it as a farewell."

Hearing this, Da Ma Ge clicked pause.

"This sentence is spoken by our protagonist, Sora. Now that you've finished the Mondstadt story, you'll understand that this PV features Sora as the traveler and Ying as the Princess of the Abyss. So, this sentence is spoken by Sora to Ying."

"It feels like a bit of a knife-like line after hearing it."

"I didn't really feel anything before I played it, but after playing it and hearing this again..."

"The pain of separation from blood relatives is indeed unbearable."

Seeing the comments in the barrage, Da Ma Ge smiled and continued playing the PV.

"The war has already begun. It is a continuation of the last war."

"The gods gild the outlines of desire with seven colors of light, to show that their power is within reach."

"And the base in this world is buried with smoldering debris, a warning to those who would overstep their bounds—'The throne in the heavens was never reserved for you.'"

"But you who are overstepping your bounds, do not stop here."

“No one can sit back and watch the fire.”

Da Ma Ge clicked pause again.

"I don't know who said this, but it's definitely an important character, but they haven't officially made their appearance yet. So for now, this is just the Riddler's words, and we can't tell what they mean, but they're very touching. But the most touching part is the next part, which is the main reason why this PV has been so popular in various countries. MiHoYo is obviously very confident about this next part, even running it in New York's Times Square for a whole month, and other countries are doing similar things. Now, after finishing the Mondstadt story, let's take a look at this part."

The PV plays again.

The Riddler's voice rang out again.

"Look..."

Along with these words, the background music suddenly changed.

The font appears on a black screen.

Mondstadt

"Strangers Chasing the Wind"

"The dragon that has guarded the Free City for thousands of years has finally become confused about freedom."

"Can freedom commanded by the god of freedom still be called freedom?"

The portrait of Diluk holding a greatsword and surrounded by a firebird slowly emerged.

Although I wanted to pause, I couldn’t bear to do so for this part because it was so moving.

Especially after finishing the Mond storyline, this feeling is even more exciting.

This background music was completely in line with Mond's style. Although he had heard it many times, he still felt a strong sense of anticipation for the next few pieces of background music.

So, without Big Brother Ma making any movement, the background music changed again.

There was no sense of incongruity at all, the switch was extremely natural, and the music that was in line with Liyue... or rather, in line with the Chinese cultural background, sounded directly, making Da Ma Ge's heart tremble involuntarily, and a strong sense of pride rose in him.

Liyue

"Farewell to the Long-Departed Body"

"In full view of the public, the God of the Contract was murdered."

"In his final moments, he will sign the contract to end all contracts."

At the same time, a portrait of a white-haired woman wearing a cheongsam-like dress and with an elegant and noble temperament emerged.

Da Ma Ge has no idea how Liyue will be made, but based on this background music and the Chinese-style character that appears with it, he wants to give miHoYo a five-star rating.

This is awesome, miHoYo definitely put their heart into this game.

Da Ma Ge has the highest expectations for Liyue, and he is willing to believe that miHoYo will be able to do a good job in the Liyue region.

At this time, the background music changed again, and one could imagine the faint sound of a Japanese ditty.

Rice Wife

Thousand Hands and Hundred Eyes, the World and the Human World

"The general is immortal, and the shogunate's isolation period will never end."

"What kind of eternity does the God who pursues eternity see in the eyes of the world?"
