Falling Star Valley is one of the four major areas in Mondstadt. It is located northeast of Mondstadt City and Cider Lake. It mainly consists of small areas such as Cape Lookout, Lookout Mountains, Whispering Forest, Starfall Lake, Star Cliff, and the ruins of the Temple of Thousand Winds. Regional composition.
And now, the girl Ying, who was looking for her brother all the way west from the beach south of Cape Lookout, and Paimon finally arrived at the shore of Starfall Lake, and could see more clearly the island in the center of the lake. That towering statue of God.
"Look!"
"That's the Seven Heavens Statue!"
"How about it, Ying, do you think it's even more spectacular when you get closer?"
"These statues are guarded everywhere in Mondstadt. It is said that their images come from the God of Wind, and they are carved according to the true appearance of the God of Wind!"
"Mondstadt is the country of the wind!"
"Here, there is such a legend: the wind brings the seeds, and time makes them germinate. The statues of gods are quietly waiting for the noble people. Will the thousand winds of time usher in a new story?"
"Although Paimon doesn't know what it means, but..."
Flying in front of Ying, Paimon was just hanging in front, flying above the lake and excitedly giving Ying a detailed explanation.
"Eh?"
"you……"
"fluorescent!"
"Are you listening to Paimon carefully?!"
However, when Paimon turned his head, he found that Ying was looking around, seemingly not paying attention to what she was saying, and then angrily flew forward and asked angrily.
"ah?"
"that……"
"Feel sorry!"
"Paimon, I was actually thinking just now, where is that guy Annie?"
"Why didn't you see her coming?"
In fact, Ying did not pay attention. After all, it was just a statue of a god, and he and his brother were strong men who could travel through worlds. They considered themselves to be no weaker than the so-called Seven Heavenly Gods. Therefore, for that Of course she wouldn't take the legend of the Wind God too seriously.
Moreover……
Ying knows better than anyone else that the so-called legends are just some unfounded speculations made by ordinary people about the things said and done by the so-called gods, or they are deliberately released by those gods who charm everyone. There are some specious hints, and she is here just to find some clues. There is no need to pay attention to those boring things.
"??"
"strangeness!"
"Didn't that guy follow you?"
Hearing this, Paimon couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Then, she began to look around, and also looked towards the cliff where they were before, but unfortunately, even though she had a vision of 2.0 or above, she still didn't notice the hateful Little Red Riding Hood in a red dress around her. A tiny figure.
"never mind!"
Soon, after only scanning the surroundings twice, and even looking carefully at the place where the group of white cranes lived by the lake in the distance, Paimon had to give up after finally failing to find the figure of the troublesome little girl. .
"fluorescent!"
"Let's ignore her for now!"
"Anyway, she knows those weird magics and can teleport without limit. Unless she comes here by herself, we will definitely not be able to find her."
In any case, she came to find the Seven Heavens Statue and to find clues for Ying, not to find that hateful bad guy who refused to give her Tiantian flowers to eat!
"Let's go!"
"Let's go to the island in the lake!"
"You can just swim over!"
With that said, Paimon took the lead and flew towards the island in the middle of the lake.
"Swim over?"
"Um……"
Looking around again, I found that there seemed to be no bridge here, and the little Annie who could teleport was not behind. Ying had no choice but to sigh.
"All right!"
"I didn't see the bridge, and Anne isn't here. It seems like this is the only way."
Then, she stretched her legs to test the cold and refreshing lake water. After finding that the water was very clean and the distance was within the range that her physical strength could bear, she gritted her teeth, took another deep breath, and then directly With a leap, he jumped into the lake with a 'pop' and began to swim towards the middle of the lake in a freestyle style.
…
Ten minutes later.
"Ahem!"
"call!"
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Amidst Paimon's cheering and urging, Ying finally swam to the island in the middle of the lake, and coughed hard as soon as he landed. After coughing out some of the lake water that had accidentally choked his throat and lungs, he finally swam to the island in the middle of the lake. Finally feeling a little better.
"How long have I been sealed..."
"Has your strength dropped to this level?"
"hateful!"
Then, regardless of how wet his whole body was, he first looked at his palms that were soaked in water and turned white, then murmured to himself in disbelief.
You know, in the past, she didn't even need to fly to such a small lake, she just jumped across it with a single leap. How could it be like now that she had to swim directly from the lake, and her hands and feet were so tired that she looked weak?
"Eh?"
"fluorescent!"
"Are you OK?"
Seeing Ying's look, Paimon came over and asked with concern.
"I'm fine!"
"So……"
"What should I do next?"
Looking at the wet clothes on his body, Ying felt that he couldn't deal with it for a while, so he waved his hands, then stood up straight, and began to look at the towering seven-day statue not far away, like a spire, and then walked forward, He asked subconsciously.
"Paimon doesn't know either..."
"Alas!"
"you……"
"Wow!!"
Then, when Ying approached the statue without saying a word, and then accidentally reached out and pressed it towards the golden emblem of the God of Wind, Paimon couldn't help but exclaimed and stepped back.
Because she saw that after Zaiying came into contact with the idol, the idol actually changed?
The mark of the wind actually lit up, and then the entire statue resonated with it.
Immediately afterwards, the beads held by the 'God of Wind' suddenly burst out with bright fluorescence. Then, under the astonished gazes of the two people, the fluorescence turned into a rune of wind, and It flew down in an instant and sank directly into Ying's chest, which was caught off guard. And it seemed to have some kind of resonance with Ying's body?
"!!"
"This is……"
Feeling the changes in her body and the unfamiliar power that emerged, letting them surround her and blowing her wet clothes happily, Ying could not help but feel a little surprised, not knowing what this meant.
But anyway, what she knew seemed to be that she had obtained some kind of benefit from the statue?
"Ah! It's the power of the wind!"
"fluorescent!"
"Can you feel the wind element in this world?"
Paimon obviously knew more, so he came over and asked in surprise.
"I have no idea……"
"but……"
"If this is the so-called wind element, I think it should be, right?"
While speaking, Ying thought for a moment, then raised his hand, letting a whirlwind begin to gather in his palm.
There is no doubt that after she touched the statue, she seemed to have gained the power to control the wind. Although it was not very strong, it should indeed be the 'wind element' that Paimon mentioned.
"!!"
"It really is!"
"As long as you touch the idol, you can gain divine power?"
"Wow!"
"This is amazing!"
"fluorescent!"
"Are you afraid you don't know?"
"People in this world, if they want to be recognized by the elements, will never be as easy as you!"
"This is a gift from the God of Wind!"
Looking at the whirlwind in Ying's hand, Paimon backed away a short distance in fear, and at the same time, he cheered happily and recounted in surprise, obviously feeling incredible about what happened to Ying.
"A gift?"
"Um……"
"It does feel a little abnormal!"
However, what Ying was thinking was different from the naive Paimon. She just frowned and looked up at the statue of the God of Wind in front of her, feeling that things were not that simple!
because……
The statue in front of her, that face, seemed vaguely familiar to her?
Furthermore, she had been sealed for who knows how many years and had just woken up recently. Her power was missing for some reason. Instead, she could easily obtain the ability to control the wind element from the statue. She couldn't help but think about this kind of thing. .
"how?"
"In addition to the power of the elements, has the God of Wind given you any more clues about the god you are looking for and your brother?"
Now that Ying had received the gift of the idol, Paimon quickly asked about the more important matter.
"..."
Ying didn't answer, just shook her head.
Because, apart from gaining power inexplicably, she really didn't get any information or hints. Whether it was the abominable god she was looking for or her brother, the 'God of Wind' in front of her didn't give her even a hint. A little bit of information.
"Is that so?"
"Then we have to go to Mondstadt in the west!"
"In the Cider Lake, there is a big city. The people there worship the God of Wind. As you can get power from the statue, maybe you can get more information from there?"
"Also, there are a lot of bards and adventurers there, maybe they also..."
"!!"
"Huh?!"
Paimon, who was about to guide Ying to Mondstadt City, suddenly stopped talking. Instead, he and Ying, who was equally astonished by the side, looked at the statue of the Seven Heavens God that had just dimmed.
Because, I don’t know what happened, but the fluorescence on the other party turned on again at this time?
At the same time, they also discovered that the eyes of the statue were flashing with breathtaking fluorescence, as if some god was watching them?
"!!"
"Wind, God of Wind?!"
Paimon, who had never seen such a situation before, was startled, and then hurriedly flew and hid behind Ying's head with some fear.
"..."
Although Ying was certainly a little surprised, she didn't show much fear. She even took two steps forward and looked up directly at the statue.
"Are you the God of Wind among the seven gods?"
"Is it right?"
He looked at each other stubbornly for a while, and after feeling the powerful elemental power of the other party, he paused, pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and then asked in a crisp voice.
"..."
However, the statue did not answer, and just continued to look at Ying.
"..."
Gulu!
Of course, Paimon didn't dare to get closer at this time, but he swallowed with some fear, as if he was worried about him.
"My devout believer..."
"I feel your call..."
"Say it!"
"you……"
"What do you want to ask?"
For a long time, when Ying and Paimeng were feeling uneasy and confused, finally, the statue of the God of Wind spoke, directly asking in that hollow and vaguely trance-inducing tone.
"I!"
"My brother!"
"null!"
"I want to ask, where are they now?"
"besides!"
"Who is the god who attacked us, and what is her purpose?"
“I want to know it all!!”
Without thinking, Ying loudly asked the questions that she had been thinking about and searching for but could not figure out since she woke up.
"..."
The statue fell silent and continued to stare at Ying with its breathtaking eyes.
"your problem……"
"I can answer that."
"but……"
"I need some sacrifices..."
After a while, Zaiying became impatient. When Paimon felt that the statue would definitely not answer, the statue unexpectedly spoke.
"Sacrifice?"
"Can!"
"Tell me, what do you need?!"
Ying answered decisively.
It doesn't matter what the sacrifice is, as long as the other party knows for sure, and as long as the other party can answer her questions, then no matter what sacrifice the other party needs, she can find it for him!
"..."
'There are ten plump white cranes by the lake. '
'Big squirrels, five. '
'Lotus leaves, forty pieces. '
'Clean wet mud, a big blob. '
'A big bundle of dry firewood. '
This time, the statue did not hesitate and directly listed the required tribute catalog in front of Ying and Paimon using the fluorescent text that was gathered together.
"!!"
"It's that simple?"
In response, Ying felt a little surprised.
Because, those so-called tributes are very simple, she can get them around Xingluo Lake, and they are not rare things. They just require a lot of effort. She can get them all in half a day at most.
only……
She didn't know why, but as she looked at it, she always felt that this catalog of tributes was a bit strange. She seemed to have seen or heard it somewhere before?
"..."
While Ying and Paimon were staring at the list of tributes, frowning and thinking, surprisingly, at this time, a new request appeared in the last line of the catalog, and it was also described with the same fluorescent text. :
'at last……'
'You also need to give Paimon a hundred hard spanks as punishment! '
"??"
"Alas!"
"unfair!"
"If you ask for tribute, ask for tribute. Why do you want to fight Paimon?"
"What did Pamon do wrong?!"
After seeing that last line, Paimon was of course so frightened that he immediately covered her butt and backed away quickly, fearing that Ying would actually catch her and beat her severely in order to get clues.
"??"
And similarly, when she saw the last line of words, Ying couldn't help but be startled, with a look of shock and surprise on her face.
"!!"
"wrong!"
But soon, combined with the content of the tributes above, and looking at the last one, thinking about what just happened on the edge of the cliff, how could Ying not know what happened?
"Is it Annie?"
"That's right!"
"It's you, come out quickly!!"
After thinking about it, Ying was of course embarrassed and angry. Her face turned red and she raised her head and raised her hand to point at the nose of the statue and shouted angrily.
"ah!"
!? (?““??)?
"How did you find out?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
as expected!
After Ying scolded angrily, the originally shining statue dimmed in an instant, and then, as expected, a certain troubled little girl appeared on the head of the statue in an instant, and sat down, licking some kind of dried fruit and Face asked crisply in surprise.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"..."
"I knew it!"
"It's impossible for anyone else to make such a strange request except you!"
Seeing that the guy who appeared was indeed a troubled little girl in a red dress, and the expression on her face gradually changed from expectation to disappointment, she slapped her forehead, and then hung her head with some annoyance and frustration.
She had almost been fooled just now, and if the other party hadn't made that outrageous request at the end, she would have been busy working for the other party and preparing those so-called tributes, right?
fortunately!
She figured it out at the last moment, otherwise, if she was teased by such a little guy, she might not be able to see anyone in the future.
"Annie?"
"you!!"
"How can you do such a blasphemous thing and eat food while standing on the head of a figure? You..."
"You actually want to spank Paimon?!"
Seeing that it was indeed Annie, that hateful little girl, Paimon, who had been so frightened that he was hiding far behind, was stunned for a moment. Then, trembling with anger, he rushed forward again, pointing at Annie from a distance and angrily scolding her. asked.
"why not?"
(???3?)
"It's just a pile of rocks, what's so big about it?"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Anne didn't explain why she wanted to hit the other person, she just curled her lips indifferently.
Then, she even finished eating the sweet flowers, and now her hands, which had become sweet and sticky, rubbed hard on the head of the statue of the God of Wind.
"!!"
"you!"
"Get down quickly!"
Seeing this, seeing the other party blaspheming the gods in front of him, Paimon was of course so angry that he rushed forward and planned to grab the hateful little girl.
Unfortunately, she failed.
"ha!"
???(?)????
"You can't catch it!"
(????-)?
In a flash, Annie appeared on the ground and made a big face at Paimon, who was flying above the head of the statue and looking around.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"..."
"alright!"
"Stop making trouble now."
"Let's find a place to rest for the night first!"
Ying, who was extremely frustrated and dumbfounded by Annie's torment, of course felt a little tired. Therefore, she was not in the mood to mess around with the two little guys, so she started to look around, thinking that she was going to be at the lake tonight. Should we camp here on Heart Island or swim back to the shore?
"Hello!"
☆?(o*?w?)?
"Sister Ying, I'm not joking!"
|?˙?˙)
"You prepare the materials for them according to that list, and then beat that bad guy Paimon until her butt blossoms and she cries, and they will definitely tell you what you want to know!"
(?￣?￣?) Hehe!
Annie ignored Paimon who was glaring at her angrily in the air. Instead, she approached the little sister Ying and spoke seriously.
That's right!
What she just said was not nonsense, because no matter what it was, as long as she wanted to, it could be done instantly.
but……
Only when she is full can she have the time and mood to think about such messy things, so those 'tributes' are definitely indispensable and cannot be left out.
"just you?"
"Why."
"Stop making trouble and let me rest for a while."
Unfortunately, Ying didn't take it seriously. She just waved her hand, then walked directly to the side, found a stone, and dug into it without wanting to move.
Anne, like her, came from outside the world, and since she didn't know it herself, it was impossible for the other party to know it either!
Besides, she really wasn't in the mood to mess around with him right now, she was really a little tired.
"They are not making trouble!"
?(?﹏?,)?
"..."
(??ˇ?ˇ??)
"Forget it!"
o(′^｀)oHmph!
"If they don't want your help anymore, they can catch it themselves!"
(??ˇεˇ??)
Seeing that the other party was so expressionless, and had no other choice, Anne could only stomp her feet bitterly, and then looked into the distance. Before the Paimon could rush down and continue to argue with her, he disappeared in a flash.
"..."
"..."
Immediately afterwards, whether it was Ying who was exhausted physically and mentally and was sitting on the stone to rest, or Paimon who was fuming, they all saw a commotion of birds flying and ducks squawking on the shore of the lake in the distance, and then, A few of the group of big white cranes flew away by luck.
As for the miserable fate of those big white cranes and water ducks that didn't have time to take off, that kind of thing is of course self-evident.
"fluorescent."
"Are you OK?"
Since the hateful little girl had already gone to catch the big white crane, Paimon had no choice but to fly to Ying's side and comfort her.
"fine......"
"Anyway!"
"Let's take a rest first!"
——————————
It’s the last day of the month!
?|?“-“?)Where is the monthly ticket?
