Chapter 50 Redemption and Passing
West of Mondstadt, at the observation deck.
Ningzhe leaned against the wall, looking tiredly at the giant dragon and figures in the distance.
Beside him, the gray writing brush floated quietly in the air, as if it had just released a powerful force, and it was blooming with a faint light at this moment.
Wendy took out his harp and gently plucked the strings, and a soft voice floated next to Ningzhe...
"Wendy, do you think this method will work?"
Quietly feeling the powerful momentum coming from the distance, Ningzhe pushed himself up, unable to hide the fatigue on his face.
"I talked to him."
Wendy's hand that plucked the strings did not stop, the soft sound of the piano continued to be heard, and his voice was also soft: "After learning that he is now resented by the Mondlanders, he still agreed to my request.
...His love for the people has not changed for thousands of years."
"Since that's the case...then I'm relieved..."
Slowly exhaling, Ningzhe looked away from the church and looked at Wendy who was playing quietly.
In order to liberate the remnant soul of [Fire Wind Demon God] to the greatest extent, he once again exhausted all his spiritual power, and at the same time released all the power of [Chaotic Source]...
This level of power is enough to restore the demon god to a certain degree of strength and allow him to remain in the world for a certain period of time.
But the price is... Ningzhe will fall into a period of weakness for a long time, during which he will not even be able to use any strength.
"Sometimes I really wonder why, as a mortal, you can be recognized by Clemons and Morax one after another."
Seeing that Ningzhe's eyes gradually calmed down and his face was no longer so tired, Wendy softly said: "As a Teyvat person, but you don't long for the eyes of God... Now it seems that you are the one who deserves to live."
The mortal who understands best."
"I know you have many secrets in your heart, but...those are not important. You have proven yourself with practical actions."
Gently pluck the strings, and the soft notes fly around Ningzhe. The strong wind whizzing past the observation deck cannot affect this place at all.
Ningzhe, who was closing his eyes and concentrating, didn't seem to hear what Barbatos said. He was immersed in the music...The music played by Wendy could soothe people's hearts and heal his already somewhat overdrawn spirit.
Under such beautiful music, Ningzhe seemed to have suddenly returned to Liyue Port.
At this moment, Ningguang is sitting in the Yuehai Pavilion working. It can be seen from the architectural drawings on the corner of the table that she seems to be planning to rebuild the Qunyu Pavilion.
Gan Yu held an account book and leaned against the fence of Yujing Terrace to look at it carefully.
Not far from Gan Yu, Grandma Ping was sitting on a stone chair with a smile on her face... And sitting opposite her was Ning You, who looked like they were playing chess.
But looking at Ning He's frown, it seemed that something was not going well.
Turning his eyes downward, at the corner of the street, a girl with brown twintails was leaning on a chair, her eyes looking towards the north, as if she was missing someone.
"..."
"Seeing" this scene after scene, although Ningzhe kept his eyes closed, a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing the subtle change in Ningzhe's expression, Wendy, who had been playing the harp, nodded slightly without any surprise.
His music can penetrate directly into people's hearts and bring out what the listener desires most...
Although Wendy himself couldn't see the specific scene, he could guess something from the listener's expression.
And he had only met one person like Ningzhe who didn't move much and only showed a gentle smile.
That was the gentle smile that the oldest Morax once showed when Barbatos played the harp to his colleagues at the gathering of the Seven Gods a thousand years ago.
Times have changed now, and the past has disappeared with the wind... But today, he saw the same smile on the face of a mortal again.
For some reason, in Wendy's eyes, the image of her friend from thousands of years ago overlapped perfectly with Ningzhe.
"..."
After letting out a gentle breath, Wendy's eyes returned to their normal appearance.
At the same time, he looked to the other side and saw that the battle between [The Gale Demon God] and Tevarin was coming to an end.
At this time, the people in Mondstadt who had been hiding in the wind-sheltered buildings gradually poked their heads out. They heard the words of [The Gale Demon God], and at this moment they were extremely conflicted.
Is the Wind Demon Dragon actually protecting them?
The knights of the West Wind Knights also dutifully stayed by the people's side. They did not let people return to the wind-sheltered building because they also wanted to witness the result of this battle with their own eyes.
Meanwhile, Angel's Gift Tavern.
Diluc took Sora and Paimon, who were still in a coma, out of the Goethe Hotel. In view of the unknown status of these two people, Diluc decided to take them back to the Angel's Gift after careful consideration.
In Diluc's mind, if Kong was brought to the Knights at this time, this "dirty" organization might use the unconscious traveler to make some kind of deal... Rather than the kind of thing that no one wants to see happen.
In this situation, he might as well take care of the travelers himself.
On the way to the tavern, Diluc naturally noticed the two extremely powerful auras in the sky, and also heard the words of the self-proclaimed [Wind Demon God].
The wind demon dragon who fights for the people and the demon god who has returned after a thousand years of absence?
Of course Diluc didn't believe this story, but the pressure of the demon was so real that he suppressed his doubts.
But in order to verify... After properly settling Kong and Paimon, he set off directly to the Liyue envoy's residence.
...
West Wind Cathedral.
At this moment, the West Wind Cathedral has become riddled with holes, the huge statue square is also full of potholes, and even the statue of Barbatos has been blown off a little dust.
"Dragon of the East Wind, are you really going to do this for those ordinary people?"
Dickapian had already stepped down from the throne, and his body had become a little gloomy, but his tyrannical aura had not faded at all.
Roar!!!
However, there were no words in response to him, only the dragon's breath filled with Tvarin's anger.
"snort......"
Seeing the dragon's breath rushing toward him, Diekalapian raised his hands and melted away the dragon's breath in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the giant dragon flapped its wings and came straight towards Dikalapian.
This is the time I've been waiting for...
Almost at the same time, the demon god's remnant soul used up all its power and turned it into a wind elemental spear, aiming to reach Tevalin's upper neck - to be precise, the strange purple crystal on his upper neck.
.
Ding----
The moment the crystal shattered, heartbreaking pain seeped into Tevalin's heart, and the backlash that forcibly broke through the pollution was devouring the giant dragon.
At this moment, from the observation deck in the distance, a pure white gem flew out gently and disappeared into the dragon's body in an instant.
In an instant, the shadow of a pure and holy white tree flashed past, and then it bloomed with enough light to illuminate the sky.
"...."
The long-lost sense of clarity came to Tevalin's heart. Although the pain was still there, the backlash had been completely purified.
he...
Tevalin landed on top of the West Wind Church and lowered his head. Looking at his dragon claws and the dilapidated environment around him, his eyes were filled with confusion.
What did he do...
It was at this time that the figure belonging to Diehlappian in the sky gradually disappeared, and the wind wall surrounding Mondstadt gradually disappeared.
I don't know when the dark clouds in the sky have lifted a corner, and a beam of light shines down. It seems that everything has passed.
The Mondstadt people left the building. They came to the street and looked at the giant dragon staying on top of the church in the distance.
The sun shines on the dragon's body, adding a sacred flavor.
This giant dragon they called [Wind Demon Dragon]...actually protected them in the hands of [Fire Wind Demon God]...
