Chapter 359 Guardian of the Four Winds
In Mondstadt, there is a legend that the four winds protect it.
The guardian of the south wind expels the nobles, the guardian of the west wind takes shape, the guardian of the north wind returns from wandering and settles in the wolf forest, the east wind express, the mission must...
Hmm? It seems like there is something extraordinary added.
In the distant story, the guardian of the east wind is actually the dragon of the east wind who flew away just now - Tvarin.
The lion of the south wind, the wolf of the north wind, the eagle of the west wind, and the dragon of the east wind.
Four winds have flowed, creating the prosperous and free Mondstadt it is today.
Tevalin was initially a powerful but ignorant elemental creature. After meeting Barbatos, he gradually understood human language and protected Mondstadt.
After expelling the old nobles a thousand years ago, Tvarin was summoned by Barbatos. With the help of Barbatos playing the piano and singing, he blew away the ice and snow, flattened the mountain peaks, and leveled Mondstadt's terrain so that the warm and moist sea breeze from the east could blow in.
The Mondstadt region supplies agriculture.
It can be said that the current prosperity of Mondstadt is indispensable to its contribution.
Five hundred years ago, disaster struck.
The poisonous dragon Durin attacks Mondstadt.
At that time, the inheritance of the Lion of the South Wind was vacant, and the talent of the Eagle of the West Wind was withering.
Barbatos responded to the Mondstadt's prayers and summoned Tvarin with his own will.
Tevalin bit the poisonous dragon Dulin's throat and killed it in the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain.
But Tvarin also swallowed Durin's poisonous blood and suffered from it.
The disaster five hundred years ago caused countless tragedies.
The incident in Tevalin is just a simple sentence in the historical records.
Time has passed, and although people still praise the honor of the four winds, they have long forgotten their appearance.
Qin recognized Tevalin at a glance because, as a descendant of Gunnhild, she had studied relevant information during a rigorous education.
But...why did the Dragon of the East Wind, which was guarding Mondstadt, attack Mondstadt twice in a row?
The evening breeze blew gently, and the trees outside the city were swaying in the wind. The no longer violent wind blew Qin's hair, and also smoothed away the anxiety between her brows.
Because her senior is here.
"I have arranged for manpower to help repair the damaged buildings."
On the city wall under the sunset, the scratches left by sharp claws looked a bit shocking.
Diluc knelt down and stroked the traces left by the dragon, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Because he noticed the deep and disgusting aura.
"Thank you for your efforts, senior."
The arrival of Tevalin this time can be said to be the most serious loss to Mondstadt besides the arrival of the Fools.
If we only rely on the current Knights of the West Wind, it is simply not enough to deal with this kind of thing.
"Don't get me wrong, I am not helping the Knights, but the residents of Mondstadt."
Glancing at Qin, Diluc said.
He still had a grudge against the Knights.
"I understand, so I would like to express my gratitude to you as a junior, not as the acting leader."
After spending so long with Diluc, Qin actually understands his character.
So she showed a sly smile and answered like this.
"..."
To be able to make the strict Qin say such things, it seems that she has grown a lot in the days since she became the acting leader.
No longer thinking about these things, the Eye of God on Diluc's body flashed with light. He skillfully manipulated the fire element and concentrated the power floating in the air together.
In addition to the wind that symbolizes freedom, the power surrounded by the fire element also has an extremely deep and dark energy.
"this is......"
Qin frowned slightly as she looked at this strange energy.
Because it gave her an extremely unfriendly feeling, just looking directly at it would make her feel like her eyes were being absorbed by it.
"It seems to be related to our old friends."
The scorching flames completely swallowed up the breath of the abyss. Diluc stood up and looked in the direction of Old Mondstadt.
He could almost conclude that the dragon's attack on Mondstadt was absolutely inseparable from the Abyss.
If Bai Luo were here, he would definitely have an expression that was hard to explain.
Good boy, finally you no longer have to blame everything on me.
This is also thanks to the abyss energy leaked by the Abyss Mage, otherwise... Diluc would most likely have doubts about him.
However, Diluc did not inform Qin about the abyss. Currently, Mondstadt City has just experienced a hurricane, and there are many matters that need her to deal with.
As for Abyss, he has been fighting against him for a long time and can be described as an "old friend".
In this case, it is up to him to receive this "old friend".
Although Qin suspected that Diluc was hiding something from her, considering that the senior had hidden more than one thing from her, she ultimately did not ask.
"The people who recognize the identity of the Wind Demon Dragon this time are not just you and me. The top priority is to appease them first, and we must not let them reveal that the Wind Demon Dragon is Tevalin."
Turning back and looking at the messy Mondstadt, Qin said.
If it had been before, it wouldn't have mattered if Tvarin's identity was spread.
But now, Tevarin has brought such a great influence to Mondstadt. If people know that it is Tevarin, one of the guardians of the four winds...then things will develop out of control.
After all, the Knights of the West Wind are the Eagles of the West Wind, one of the guardians of the four winds.
If the people completely lose trust in the guardians of the four winds because of the Dragon of the East Wind, then this will be an unprecedented disaster.
What's more, Qin had no idea why Tevalin would betray him.
How could it do such a cruel thing when it could fight a poisonous dragon to the death for Mondstadt?
There must be some reason for it.
"Don't worry, Kaia has already gone to deal with it."
As one of the few thoughtful characters in the Knights of the West Wind, Kaia can certainly think of things that Qin and Diluc can think of.
So before Qin officially issued the order, he had already made a list, and with his confidants, he began to check the water meters from house to house according to the list.
Why would he know these things, you ask?
Actually, he didn't lie at all before.
Before meeting Bai Luo, he was indeed a veteran in wine bars, and relied on this method to collect information on many people.
Naturally, this also includes those who have mentioned Tvarin.
The afterglow of the setting sun gradually sank into the western mountains, but Mond did not fall into a deep sleep as usual.
"Go and have a rest. Kaia will be with you tonight. He is still worthy of your trust."
Diluc put away his gaze and said.
"how about you?"
"Me? I have more important things to do."
