"Tvarin, how are you doing?"
"Very good. You helped me purify it last time, and I've been in good condition recently. It seems that I can live long enough to send Barbatos away... No, send Bartobas away."
Tevarin replied in a steady voice.
Wendy finally couldn't sit still anymore, so she got up and complained:
"Tevarin, Andrius, that's enough, can you please stop talking about Bartobas?"
"No." ×2
The two family members refused in unison.
Wendy shook her head, and then told the god and his two followers about Albedo's origins, her request to Albedo to research a treatment plan, and Albedo's previous statements.
"Through the legacy of Golden Rhinedot, Albedo has found a possible solution to Tevarin's disease. I am willing to believe that he is from Mondstadt, so the only question now is how sensitive the Frost Nail is, and whether we can try it. Barbatos, this must be considered by you."
Wendy said seriously.
Wendy scratched her head and shook it with a wry smile.
"The Cold Sky Nail is not easy to touch."
"Forget it. You guys dare to deal with something so sensitive, but I don't. On paper, the Seven Gods are the masters of the Seven Kingdoms, but we all know who actually controls everything in Teyvat. Anyway, Bayana will clean up the mess later, so let's leave it at that."
Tevarin took over the conversation and shook his head calmly at Wendy.
Tevarin has lived for many years. As an elemental creature, he never regarded death as something to be feared, but rather as a reincarnation of returning to heaven and earth. Rather than risking the anger of Sky Island and thus affecting the entire Mondstadt, he would rather persist until he loses his mind.
As long as Wendy sees him off for the last time and doesn't cause too much trouble for Mond, that's enough.
"Humph!"
Andrius snorted coldly and lowered his wolf head. He didn't want to sit back and watch Tevarin end up like that, nor did he want to risk the entire Mondstadt, so he had nothing to say.
Wendy frowned, her face full of disapproval, but she seemed to be holding back and thinking about something. One could sense that she was feeling extremely heavy.
Wendy saw the atmosphere suddenly turned so cold and said inexplicably:
"I just said that you should be careful with the Frost Sky Nail, I didn't say there's no other way. Why are you acting like this?"
"..."×3
"Boom!!!"
It is reported that a strong earthquake occurred in Benlang Territory that day. It lasted for a short time, but the shaking was quite strong.
After a while, Wendy stood there with a bruised face and nose, rubbing her waist, and said in a muffled voice:
"I have been waiting for an opportunity for the past five hundred years."
"Have you been waiting?"
"Anyway, I have my own plan. How can I just watch Tevarin go on like this? Let's put aside the plan of the Frost Nail for now and try mine. If the opportunity I'm waiting for is also useless, then... I will go and collect the powder of the Frost Nail myself, hey!"
Wendy tapped her head and stuck out her tongue, with a mischievous expression.
However, the three who had just beaten him up just looked at him in silence.
Wendy had no choice but to put on a lazy expression and spread her hands:
"Anyway, I already have a successor, and you all know my situation. So if Sky Island wants to blame me, the worst that can happen is that I, an old man with not much time left, will be thrown out and given an explanation. I think my influence should be enough to calm the situation down... Of course, that is the worst-case scenario. Maybe my plan will succeed directly, and we will all be happy?"
"Bartobas, if you want to pull out the Frost Sky Nail, take me with you. My claws are quite sharp and will come in handy."
Andrius said so.
Tevarin then said:
"Take me with you, too. This is my business after all. Beyana, don't join in the fun. The three of us don't matter, but Mondstadt cannot lose you. For the next few thousand years, you have to hold up the sky of Mondstadt. This is your mission."
Wendy stopped what she was about to say, her expression changing for a while, and then she nodded calmly.
At this moment, Wendy suddenly looked in the direction of the celebration, her face changed, as if she had lost her parents.
"It's over, it's over. I released the pigeons from the celebration performance for no reason. Now they say I'm disrespectful to the God of Wind and are discussing banning me from performing in Mondstadt in the future!"
I signed up for a program for a festival dedicated to the gods and was successfully selected. In this case, it would be okay to ask for leave with a reason, but if you let the pigeon go without saying a word, it would be clearly disrespectful to the gods.
No matter how free Mondstadt is, this matter is not trivial.
Wendy complained to Wendy with tears in her eyes:
"You are the one who tied me up here, so you need to say something for me!"
"Wendy doesn't know anything~ swoosh~ swoosh~"
Wendy whistled and drifted away in the wind as if nothing had happened.
Tevarin flapped his wings and suddenly flew into the sky.
Andrius's wolf shadow also disappeared in the altar.
"Hey!!!"
Wendy was the only one left standing there, listening to the angry pastor Barbara's cursing in the distance, his face almost turning green.
Chapter 108 Barbatos Warming Up
[The opportunity he was talking about must be Yan. 】
"That's all I can think of. If I remember correctly, the twins from another world have the ability to purify the power of the abyss. The Lord of the Thousand Winds and the Thousand Winds of Time have intertwined powers. I don't believe that Barbatos and Istaru have no connection. The original story line may not be a coincidence. Maybe Barbatos knew about the arrival and ability of the traveler long ago."
[Is it possible that Heaven is playing a big game? One of the twins fell in Kanreya five hundred years ago and became the core of the Abyss Cult; the other fell in the present, traveling around the seven countries and making friends with the seven gods. Does He want to use this to explore two different routes of confrontation in the Abyss? ]
"It is just a guess at best, without any substantial evidence. Even if we dig up various plausible evidences in history, it is just looking for evidence according to the thesis, which is meaningless. Unless the heavens admit it personally one day, or there are clear facts in the future, it is just a meaningless guess, and there is no need to delve into it."
[What should I do next? Just let it go and watch how Barbatos guides the flame to Tevarin?]
"It's the only way. The senior has spoken, can I still carry him on my back and do something? The three of them have made up their minds. Right now, it's my job to just watch and not do anything... Let's see what Barbatos can do. If it doesn't work, we can try again. We can't let Mondstadt, which we have already obtained, go to the trouble like this."
Wendy was chatting with her companions in consciousness. At the same time, she picked up two glasses of red wine from a roadside table and walked to Albedo.
When Wendy approached, Albedo broke through the barrier of Qianfeng and suddenly saw her figure again. Albedo bowed:
"Meet the Lord Wind God."
"Drinking?"
"Thank you."
"The nail deep in the snowy mountains should be put aside for now as a backup plan. We are trying another plan now."
Anyway, it was just a matter of two sentences, so Wendy gave Albedo a result for the time being.
Albedo naturally said nothing, he nodded slowly:
"I understand. I will continue to improve the plan. If you need it, please come to me anytime."
"Well, thank you for your hard work. I heard that your research topic is [Life]?"
"Yes, this is the topic that Master left for me. Through studying [life], I am also confirming what kind of material I am."
"So, are you happy in Mondstadt?"
Wendy did not delve into the story of Golden Rhinedot. As the god of wind, she just smiled and cared about her people.
Albedo was stunned for a moment. In an instant, many faces appeared in his mind.
Lisa is a genius who is truly lazy but voluntarily. Although it is a pity, communicating with her is often rewarding. Jean is a very powerful knight and a very responsible acting leader. Barbara is very pious and is very serious about everything. Sucrose and Dimaus are both great assistants. And Klee... that overly energetic child, although Albedo often has to take up most of his energy to take care of her, but Albedo does not feel disgusted at all.
The android, who had not yet fully integrated into the world, raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously.
“It feels good to be in Mondstadt.”
"That's good."
The God of Wind looked at him with extremely gentle eyes.
He did not ask about the dangers of Rheindorte, nor did he warn or exhort him. His eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of words of care and blessing, but they were all silent.
"Is this the Wind God of Mondstadt?"
Albedo thought that he didn't understand humans very well, and couldn't tell whether such a god was good or bad. But for him, Mondstadt's God of Freedom was such an existence, and he felt it was not bad, at least it wouldn't make people feel uneasy.
Wendy clinked glasses with Albedo with a smile.
'A genius alchemist, a perfect android, and a high-level technical talent with a long lifespan. I've decided. When the time is right, I'll accept him as a follower of the God of Wind. This man must be reliable.'
She finished her drink and walked away.
There are so many beautiful scenes with plump and slender women and chirping birds at the celebration scene. The Lord of Wind has been lying on a tree and drinking the northwest wind every day for the sake of his character these days. He must take this opportunity to feast his eyes.
Albedo wanted to continue looking for acquaintances, but suddenly he saw Lisa walking towards him with a smile, holding a blonde Lolita with curious eyes in her hands.
"I just heard from the knights that they saw you. You really came down the mountain, Albedo."
"Long time no see, Lisa. Is this the disciple you mentioned in your letter?"
Albedo understood immediately.
In her previous letters, Lisa had urged him to return to Mondstadt several times, hoping that her disciple could stay with him for some time.
Of course Albedo was willing to share his knowledge, but the previous commission came from the God of Wind, which was of great importance to Mond, so he never left the snow mountain until he got the result.
"I'm Albedo, and I'm currently the chief alchemist of the Knights. But it's just a title, and it doesn't mean I'm any better than Lisa. If you want to learn more about alchemy theory, I'd be happy to go with you."
"Hello, Albedo-senpai."
An Qi nodded politely and then took out a thick notebook from the space.
Master Lisa is a scholar with profound knowledge, but she is not the type who specializes in alchemy. As Angel's research deepens, there are some questions that even Lisa cannot fully answer. Albedo's return this time is just in time, which can speed up Angel's digestion of many problems.
An Qi opened the notebook, holding the pen, her clear eyes flashing with excitement:
“Then I’ll start asking questions.”
"Now? Well, go ahead and ask, and we can discuss it together."
Albedo was slightly surprised, then smiled faintly.
He really admired her pure desire to learn - but the notebook looked a bit thick, and there seemed to be a lot of things recorded in it. Could they all be the questions she wanted to explore?
Albedo thought that this shouldn't be the case, and he listened calmly.
……
At the same time, because An Qi was suddenly taken to meet the boss, Qin and Paimeng, who were unfamiliar with the place, had to wander around by themselves.
It just so happened that their stomachs, which had just been filled, were a little empty again. After sleeping outdoors for a long time, even if they were not very hungry, the unlimited supply of food in the venue was still very attractive.
"I never thought we would get a free meal right after arriving in Mondstadt, and Mora made a profit too, even having a place to stay for the rest of the time. Mondstadt is a great place, isn't it, traveler?"
"Ah."
While eating cake, Yan responded calmly.
Then her ears suddenly moved, and she heard a series of unusual movements amid the hustle and bustle of the crowd.
"Get out of here! You didn't follow the festival schedule, and you said you fell into the lake, but there's not a single wet spot on your body! You reek of alcohol, and I think you missed it because you were drunk! Anyway, because you were disrespectful to the God of Wind, I have reported you to the Knights, and you are not allowed to perform on the streets for a month. Go back and reflect on your actions! Humph!"
The girl with golden curly ponytails angrily pushed a boy in green clothes out of the backstage door and then slammed the door shut.
Chapter 109 Barbatos' Treasure Map
"It's over, it's over. One month, a whole month. How am I going to get through this? If I had known, I would have found another excuse, or just gotten my clothes wet before doing this again!"
The young man bent forward in despair, pounding the ground and muttering miserably.
Paimon shook his head.
"So he's a drunkard who missed the show. After all, it's the Wind God Festival. He's late for such an event because he's drunk. He's only in Mondstadt, a free and relaxed place. It's normal to get drunk in another place. Let's ignore him and continue eating and drinking."
"Ah."
Even though they were not followers of the Wind God, they knew that they were able to enjoy this feast thanks to the Wind God. Besides, it was their own fault for drinking too much, so they stood on the side of the Wind God.
The two of them were about to walk away as if nothing had happened, with merciless expressions on their faces.
"Hello! Two heroes passing by, would you like to listen to the performance of Mondstadt's best bard, Wendy?"
"No, I won't give it to Mora. Besides, aren't you banned from performing? Goodbye."
"Ah."
