Chapter 8 Wendy Barbatos
In front of the square of the Zephyr Cathedral in Mondstadt, a huge statue of the God of Winds casts a shadow. At the feet of the God of Winds is a small pool of water. Normally, Sister Grace occupies the statue of God of Winds, but now she has a different person.
"The story I want to tell originated from ancient times..." The poet in green chanted and sang, and the harp in his hand was played slowly.
Under his fingerings, which are as light as the wind, the harp emits clear and clear music.
So the melody that belonged to the wind god and wind dragon in ancient times gradually opened up to the people of Mondstadt today.
They did not understand the ancient history contained in the melody of this poem, but their innate appreciation of art allowed them to gather and rejoice in the poet's clear singing voice.
"You two guests have been looking at each other for so long. Why don't you give me some...meaning?" He rubbed his hands and tried to please them.
Most of the people gathered around dispersed, and the most conspicuous among the people left behind was the pair who were as beautiful as jade.
"How are you, do you feel anything?" He did not respond to Wendy, but turned to ask Ayaka Kamisato who was thinking.
The white hair on her forehead floated slightly, and she stared at Wendy carefully, in disbelief for a while, "God of Wind, Barbatos?"
The air seemed to become quiet for an instant, and even the clouds in the sky stopped.
After a while, a familiar smile appeared on Wendy's face, "How is it possible? You made a mistake. Lord Barbatos left Mondstadt a thousand years ago. I am just a bard."
"Stop pretending, you should be able to feel us. The size of the devil is not so easy to hide."
"..." Wendy looked around, but no one was paying attention. Kamisato Ayaka's voice was not loud, so he lowered his voice and said, "Keep it secret!"
"That's no problem, but..." Shangshan Zhaoyue hesitated to speak.
"It doesn't cost money, it costs a life!" Before she could finish her words, Wendy said firmly.
"Do you want the heart of God? The old man's seems to be in your body." He changed the topic and said suddenly.
"I trust the people that the old man trusts," he said without too much hesitation, and directly handed over the chess set.
"Remember to help me block the fools, they are so annoying."
"You know everything?" Shangshang Zhaoyue raised her eyebrows. She knew everything but did nothing, just like he promised when he first left, leaving Mondstadt a country where no one can claim the title of king.
If everything troubles the God of Wind, then Mondstadt will be nothing more than a fledgling under the protection of the God of Wind. But now that the leadership of the Knights of the West Wind is clear, if Falga had not gone on an expedition and taken away a large number of people, the armed forces of the Knights would have been fools.
Uneasy and underestimated.
Just like in Liyue, the Fools can only play by the sidelines, and the Rice Wife is the same, but in Mondstadt, they rely on their diplomatic immunity to make all the changes, which is more powerful than in the Solstice Kingdom.
"The people of Mondstadt have to deal with matters on their own. I have been out of control for a long time. If I get involved again, it will only increase my troubles." He chuckled, and the wind blew the tips of his hair slightly.
Somewhat sad, inexplicably free and easy.
"Are you just lazy?" Shang Zhaoyue's voice was full of doubts, with disbelief on her face.
"Hey!" He stuck out his tongue and made a cute gesture.
"In short, Mondstadt doesn't need the Wind God, but the careerists will not let the Wind God go. But I don't want to be the Wind God that everyone respects. I just want to be the bard Wendy. Please treat me like a piece of trash. Thank you!"
"I'll give you the benefit, remember to do things!" He handed the chess piece to Shangshang Zhaoyue's hand and planned to leave without hesitation.
"etc!"
"What's wrong?" Wendy turned back holding the harp, her braids rippling in the air, and her green cloak fluttering in the wind.
"How do you solve the Tevarin issue?"
"There is a special stranger, I think I can give it to him to try."
"Then... let's go meet him and ask for your recommendation." He stamped his feet and returned to Shangshang Zhaoyue.
"The wind in a foreign land? It's worth looking forward to!" He smiled, showing his white teeth.
…………
"This is the bard Wendy, whose full name is Wendy Barbatos." Shang Zhaoyue extended her hand and introduced her. Upon hearing his addition, Wendy's face dropped.
"Hey! That's not what we promised!" His voice filled the cleared bar. Diluc, Qin, and Paimon had the most exaggerated expressions on the scene.
"Barbatos? That's it?" Her voice sounded very long, making Wendy a little confused.
"Ahem! I am indeed Barbatos, but now I would rather you call me Wendy." He put his hand on his chest and said gentlemanly.
"B, Barbatos... Sir Wendy, do you mean that you need the Sky Piano?" Qin was a little hesitant, but Wendy did not blame her. It would be strange if she handed over the important treasure with just one word.
"Prove it for me," he poked Shangshan Zhaoyue beside him, and Shangshan Zhaoyue also showed a troubled expression.
"There is no way to prove it. Only Tevalin can prove that you are Barbatos. Why not try to call him?"
"That's okay, although it can't solve the problem. Tevalin was soaked in Dulin's demonic blood and is now unconscious. He has also been contaminated by the Abyss Cult." He looked full of melancholy.
"Abyss Order?" Diluc and Qin looked at each other. In fact, they believed that Wendy was the god of wind. At the first glance, Wendy seemed like a free wind. Such a person is
Cang Feng didn't seem to be violating the rules.
"The Abyss Order used the poisonous blood of the Demon Dragon Dulin to contaminate Tevalin's gap to exert pressure in order to transform it into a war weapon."
"Whether you believe it or not, you still want to lend me the piano in the sky." The poet seemed to possess inhuman courage all of a sudden. He looked directly at the piano without any hesitation.
"...Huh," Qin took a deep breath. She secretly made up her mind and suddenly felt that she was crazy again.
"I understand, but I still hope that you can get it yourself. If you go through formal channels, I'm afraid it won't be possible." Qin pondered for a while and said.
"It's rare that the Knights are not pedantic. I will provide you with the information about the Abyss Order. If anyone can help, just ask." Diluc was still wiping his wine glass under the light of the bar.
"Do you believe it?" Wendy was overjoyed.
"No, but you are here for Mondstadt. I will not allow anyone in this land to ignore the rules and act arbitrarily. Someone has to tell some guys that some things cannot be done!"
"What about me?" Kong said, pointing to himself.
"Go steal the Sky Piano," Wendy patted him on the shoulder, showing an "I'm optimistic about you" expression.
"Why me?" Sora's eyes widened.
"You will gain friendship from the God of Wind. Don't you want to ask the Seven Gods something? As long as I can tell you, I will tell you everything!"
"I have another request!" He became serious, "Post a missing person notice for me."
"Looking for a girl with blond hair who looks similar to me."
