After the decadent wind god Barbatos, that is, the green-skinned 'singing' bard, broke through the barrier at the entrance to the ruins boundary, the acting leader of the Knights of the West Wind, Qin, and the former captain Diluc After the five of them, Ying, Paimon and Wendy experienced a hard battle and eliminated many Qiuqiu people and various elemental creatures they encountered, they finally successfully arrived at the huge and broken ruins of the wind dragon.
"Wow!"
"Is this the Wind Dragon Ruins?"
Looking at the huge tower in front of him, and then at the broken eaves and broken walls scattered throughout the Wind Dragon Ruins around the tower, Paimon couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this for the first time.
"How spectacular!"
"It looks like it's even bigger than Mondstadt!"
Then, after taking a closer look at Mondstadt City, she quickly discovered that if the Wind Dragon ruins were complete, they should be even bigger and more magnificent than Mondstadt City, which was built on the largest island in the middle of the Cider Lake?
"That's natural!"
"This ruins used to be an ancient city, and Tvarin only lived here temporarily."
"Its existence is even older than the 'Guardian of the Four Winds'."
"Tevalin occupies this place, maybe it has its own purpose, right?"
That Wendy didn't hide it, she admitted it directly and openly.
However, looking at the ruins in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. After all, he had seen its glorious era, but it was a pity that it finally fell into this scene. What was even more difficult to let go was that there were some... He had more or less a share of the credit, having participated in the war and witnessed its destruction with his own eyes.
"So that's it?"
"It seems that you, a god, are not useless after all!"
"That……"
"Tell us quickly, why does it become like this?"
Seeing that everyone, including Ying, seemed to be more or less interested, but too embarrassed to ask, Paimon hurriedly stepped forward and asked directly without being noticed.
"Say it now?"
"All right!"
"I'm afraid it starts from the time before Mondstadt was founded..."
Seeing everyone's curious looks, she had no choice but to do so. Although she felt that the occasion was a bit inappropriate, after looking around and seeing that there was nothing dangerous, Wendy slowly told him what he had seen and knew. come out.
Old Mondstadt, the Wind Dragon Ruins in front of us, appeared very early, even before the war between the Seven Gods System and the Demon God, that is, it existed about 3,000 years ago.
Here, it was established by the Demon God of Gale, Diekalapian, and most of the buildings were built directly by his Demon God's power.
At that time, Barbatos was just a sylph, one of the thousands of winds roaring in the north.
At that time, the Demon God Tyrant implemented a cruel and closed rule. The Wind Wall, which was the barrier outside the Wind Dragon Ruins before, cut off all connections between the interior of Mondstadt and the outside world. Even birds could not cross it. At the same time, it used endless Blow the breath to force the people to bow and obey.
It wasn't until later that Barbatos met a bard in a country ruled by a tyrant, and that boy was the real 'Wendy'. His current appearance was just a figure remade in the image of his deceased friend. It's just an elemental form.
At that time, the poet who was born within the wind wall and had never seen the blue sky unexpectedly proposed the idea of going outside the wind wall to see the real world. Therefore, he met the demon tyrant and expressed his bold idea.
Unfortunately, the tyrant made no response.
Ever since, in order to see the real sky and see the world outside the cage, the boy extended an invitation to Barbatos, who was still an elf at the time, and then raised the flag of resistance and started a huge war to overthrow the tyrant's rule.
After that, as the war raged throughout the city, the tower collapsed, the tyrant's throne fell, thousands of winds stirred up chaos, the wind wall retreated, and blue sky, white clouds and birds began to appear in the sky.
Unfortunately, the boy also died in the war.
As the wind wall receded, New Mondstadt was established, and from then on no one was king in this land.
It was also at that time that Barbatos obtained the throne of the Wind God because of his meritorious deeds. After gaining divine power, the first thing he did was to reshape his body in the appearance of his friend's boy.
After talking about the past and present life of the Wind Dragon Ruins, Wendy started talking about Tevalin again.
Five hundred years ago, the Black Sun Empire of Kanria collapsed. The disaster broke through the ancient city wall and spread across the continent. The alchemist known as 'Gold' Laiindot fell into sinners and used evil alchemy. Conceived and brought the black dragon Dulin to the senior sister, that is, the big black snake - the 'evil dragon' Dulin!
It rises from the sea, and the shadow approaches Mondstadt. Its black wings cover the sky, and the dark poisonous clouds disperse the sky. Mondstadt is full of monsters and desolation. The people cry for the desolate land, and the people sleeping in the forest are awakened. Barbatos.
Therefore, Tevalin was called to fight against thousands of strong winds and break the poisonous clouds.
In the end, the evil dragon's throat was torn apart by Tevarin's sharp teeth and it fell from the sky. Tevarin won the victory with Barbatos' blessing, but he himself was infected by the poisonous blood he accidentally drank, and the blood soaked into his internal organs. The severe pain made him sleepy.
Five hundred years later, when it returned after enduring the poison that penetrated its bones, it didn't hear the sound of its friend's piano, and the people who had been protected by it also forgot about its deadly battle, and still called it "magic dragon"?
So, not being understood and unable to endure the multiple tortures of poisonous blood, bone erosion, and curses, Tvarin went crazy.
"I think you already know what happens next without me having to tell you, right?"
"And Tevalin's real intention in occupying this place is perhaps to imitate the demon tyrant back then, to gain the power of the demon and then rule the entire Mondstadt?"
"certainly!"
"Whether this is its own idea or the instigation of the abyss mages, I don't know."
With slumped shoulders, Wendy ignored everyone's reaction after finishing speaking. She just raised her head again with a wry smile and looked at the ancient tower in front of her that was sealed by multiple layers of halo, and even he was helpless.
There is no doubt that Tevalin is hiding in it. Although they really want to go in and help, there seems to be no good way at the moment?
"It's unbelievable!"
"Wind Demon Dragon..."
"Oh no!"
"I'm talking about Tvarin, who is actually the hero who saved Mondstadt?"
"Is this why the Knights have been unwilling to conquer it?"
Pamon sighed with a shocked look on his face.
She used to only think that the Knights were there because of their faith, and the Wind Demon Dragon was one of the guardians of the four winds, so the Knights didn't want to be their enemies, and wanted to work hard to save each other, but who would have thought that there was such a thing? Is there a layer of factors?
"..."
Qin didn't answer, just smiled slightly, and seemed to have already known what Wendy said, and there was not much surprise on her face.
"but."
"Speaking of which..."
"Originally, this tower should be more complete than it is now."
“However, it was bombed by a crazy woman three years ago, so now it looks more like a historical monument.
At this time, the red-haired Diluc holding his arms on the side also spoke, and looked at the ruins of the huge and magnificent tower in front of him jokingly.
"??"
"Crazy woman?"
"Who?"
Paimon and Ying looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
"Isn't it?"
"Paimon..."
"Have you not read the Mondstadt chapter in the first volume of the Teyvat Tour Guide?"
After looking at Paimon and then at Qin who was also confused, Diluc couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Then he looked directly at the two of them and asked.
"What Teyvat tour guide?"
"Pamon doesn't know!"
Obviously, Paimon, who claims to be familiar with Mondstadt, must have never seen it.
"Well?"
"Ying, I remember that more than ten days ago, when you were helping Lisa organize the library, didn't she give you a copy?"
"You didn't go see it?"
At this time, Qin also spoke, and she even knew such secret things.
"No……"
"Paimon is currently reading "The Anthology of the Qiuqiu Man", and Ying is reading "The Legend of Vanessa"."
Without daring to lie, Paimon honestly told the names of the books they had recently read in the Order's library.
As for the book Lisa sent, it was precisely because it was a gift that they didn’t have to worry about damage or being in a hurry to return it, so they could read it whenever they thought they wanted, so they kept leaving it in the small hotel. Then, she remembered, The book seemed to have been used by Anne to prop up the table legs.
"alright."
"No more gossip."
"If you don't know, just go back and take a look. Let's solve the current trouble first!"
At this time, after listening to Wendy's story and sighing, before everyone could continue to talk about the topic, Diluc clapped his hands and signaled everyone to get back to business and concentrate on business first.
"The glowing ring in front of me, as far as I know, should be an ancient seal called a 'light guide'!"
"Do you remember the little seal we just solved?"
"I guess……"
"There should be three huge mechanisms scattered around the wind dragon ruins. If we want to break the seal of the glowing ring in front of us, we must find the three light-guiding mechanisms and repair them, and then we can close the three glowing rings. ring!"
"look!"
"Did you see that place?"
"If my guess is correct, there should be a light guide there!"
Diluc didn't waste time and directly told what he had just studied. Then he reached out and pointed condescendingly in a direction away from the tower, and there seemed to be a huge square and a strange place there. outline of something.
"!
"Then let's act quickly!"
"Ying is right!"
"Maybe we can work separately and repair the mechanism as soon as possible!"
Qin and Ying looked at each other, and then said in unison.
"etc!"
"Why do you want to break the trap?"
"These glowing rings shouldn't be closed, so can't we just use flying ones?"
"Tevalin can fly in, so we can too, right?"
At this moment, Paimon spoke.
"ah?"
"But……"
"Paimon."
"We're not like you, we can't fly!"
Seeing the strange expressions everyone looked at Paimon, Ying explained helplessly.
She could fly before, but now, she can only glide by relying on the wings of wind. Although the three-layer halo that seals the tower in front of her is unknown how high it is, there are no taller mountains around it. , they will definitely not be able to fly in.
"Don't you have wings of wind?"
"Singer, can't you summon the wind?"
"Let the singer summon strong wind, and then you use the wings of wind!"
"Isn't it possible to fly in directly?"
It's rare that Paimon, who is usually dull, stupid and naive, actually came up with an effective method this time, and it didn't sound like he was just letting something go.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Qin, Diluc and Ying seemed to think it made sense. Then, after the three of them looked at each other, they all looked at Wendy.
After all, Wendy is Barbatos and the God of Wind. Although her power is very weak, it shouldn't be difficult to directly summon the upward airflow and let them fly in with the wings of wind?
"Well..."
"In fact, my current power is probably even weaker than Valin's. If I fly in directly and get discovered and interfered by it on the way, I'm afraid the wind will be out of my control."
"so……"
"Ahem!"
"That's probably it. You can understand it, right?"
Wendy said this cryptically.
According to what Paimon just said, he can indeed make people fly, but once he is discovered and interfered or attacked by Tevalin, he will not be able to take care of so many people by then, and people may be blown away. Leaving or even worse, so in comparison, it is safer to lift the seal honestly.
"Understood!"
"Anyway!"
"You are so useless as a singer!"
As everyone showed disappointed expressions, Paimon also complained and sighed, and then he rudely counted down the gods in front of everyone.
"alright."
"Don't think too much about it."
"So……"
"Our troops are divided into three groups, each of whom is responsible for a machine..."
"!
Diluc was just about to tell his arrangement when suddenly, he seemed to notice a blue thing appearing behind everyone. It looked like some kind of spell from the Abyss Mage?
“Everyone, be careful!
"Maybe it's the Abyss Mage!"
So, he quickly drew out his giant sword from his back and prepared for attack and rescue.
"..."
|?˙?˙)Hello?
"Hello everyone!"
(?)?
However, what surprised Diluc was that a little girl with a playful smile and wearing a red dress quickly popped out of the blue light door-like spell?
"ah!"
"Not the Abyss Mage!"
"It's that guy Annie!"
Upon seeing this, Paimon, who was a little nervous at first and had already been hiding behind Ying's head, hurriedly appeared and shouted loudly.
"!
"And Keli!"
Immediately afterwards, as the blue light door disappeared, another small red figure also appeared in it. After seeing that person, Qin tightened his face, raised his brows, and immediately walked to the other person. .
"that……"
"Qin, Captain Qin, nice to see you again..."
"Kelly is here to help this time."
"I'm not here to cause trouble!"
Seeing Qin coming over, Keli hurriedly waved her hands to explain, but she quickly lowered her head timidly, not daring to look at the fierce and stern Qin.
"Kelly!"
"I originally wanted to ask you something."
"but……."
"never mind!"
"Let's wait until we get back to talk about it!"
She was about to speak, but Qin, who felt that the occasion was inappropriate, thought for a moment and finally shook her head and said this. At the same time, she reached out her hand to caress the red hat on Keli's head.
"Annie!"
"You came on time!"
At this time, Yingya walked up to Annie and sighed with that irony with a smile.
It was now the 'third day', and the opponent came at the last critical moment, and almost missed it. He was really punctual, and he wouldn't be early at all!
"ha!"
(*^▽^*)
"Thank you for the compliment!"
(?-)?
Anne seemed not to understand the little sister's sarcastic remarks. Not only did she not feel the slightest bit ashamed, she even gave the other party a playful grimace.
"correct!"
(?Д?≡?д?)!?
"Where's the Crazy Demon Dragon?"
(.)?
"Did you beat him to death?"
(°ー°〃)
After looking around, Annie asked hurriedly when she found that there was no movement.
"No."
"We are about to disable the light-guiding mechanism, and then disable the three-layer halo in front of us."
"Now!"
"Let's reorganize the personnel!"
After Anne, Keli and others finished talking to the people they knew, Diluc stepped forward in time and briefly explained his proposal to Anne and the new little Keli, and said Plan to assign Kelly and Annie to Qin and Ying's teams respectively.
In that case, he would be in a group with Wendy, Ying would be in a group with Annie, and Qin would be in a group with 'Walking Sun' Kelly. The combat power of the three groups was very strong, and they would not be able to fight against ordinary elemental bodies and Qiuqiu people. Don't be afraid, that way, you can basically guarantee that everything will be foolproof when cracking the light guide mechanism.
"Is that so?"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"Um……"
(ー`′ー)
After hearing the other party's methods and prepared plans, Anne didn't say anything.
Neither agreeing nor disagreeing, he just looked at the halo of light on the three floors inside and outside the tower, and then looked at a so-called mechanism in the distance at the end of his sight, and then started to frown and think, maybe he was thinking about it. Something.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome!"
?乛?乛?
"We have a better way!"
|w??)??
"Kelly?"
(?-)
After saying that, Annie looked at Keli with a suspicious look, and winked to signal.
"??"
"What?"
However, standing next to Captain Qin, Keli, whose IQ and reflexes began to plummet, looked confused and did not understand Anne's explicit instructions at all.
"Fool!"
o(*｀ー′)o
"It was the test that day!"
?(?`^′?)?
"Isn't this the best place?"
?(ψ｀╭╮′)o
Seeing that the other party was so inconspicuous, Anne had no choice but to speak out directly.
"ah!"
"Yes!"
"Is it now?"
"here?"
Keli was stunned at first, and then it took a long time to react and exclaimed. At the same time, she looked around with excitement, looking around and in the distance, and began to urgently survey the terrain.
"Of course!"
(?w?)
"This is the Wind Dragon Ruins. There are no people around. The area is quite large, and it's a big basin!"
(σ)σ
Anne maliciously stated various 'suitable' conditions, and continued to express and hint at Keli with eyes that only the two of them could understand.
"!
"It really is!"
"Great, we can finally test it!"
Kelly became even more excited when she realized that what she saw was the same as what Miss Anne said.
"??"
"This is what you are doing?"
Qin was a little confused and didn't know what riddle the two were talking about.
"It's easy!"
"Kelly has invented a new explosive device. It hasn't been tested yet, but it should be powerful enough to blow up this kind of halo?"
(?￣?￣?) Hehe!
"So, I brought her here!"
?(?ˉ??ˉ?)?
Afraid that Kelly would spill the beans, Anne quickly spoke with an indifferent expression and a casual tone.
(…)
(●￣(?)￣●)
"Blow up?"
"Kelly?"
"you sure?"
It would be great if it could be blown up, so Qin thought about it, then looked at the little Keli next to her, and asked with her eyes.
"Um!"
"Exactly!"
"However, since I haven't tested it yet, I have to try it first before I know."
"Look!"
"This is it!"
Looking at the wind dragon ruins tower in front of her, Keli thought for a while, then ran to the front, and after a lot of tossing, she finally released the 'super bouncy' of the 'multi-stage explosion chain fusion reaction' in front of everyone's eyes. Big Baby's fusion blaster comes out.
"!
"S-so big!"
"Kelly!"
"How powerful is it?"
Looking at the huge bouncing bomb in front of her, Qin instantly felt frightened. Then she asked subconsciously, and at the same time, she began to believe what Annie had just said.
Keli's talent in explosive devices is obvious to all, otherwise the topography of Wangfeng Mountain would not have been changed.
And now, it seems that this big guy really has the power to directly destroy the three-layer halo?
"this……"
"Keli is not sure either!"
Keli said that she had only tried the super small one, and its power was okay.
And such a big one...
She really didn't know what the specific results would be, but she was looking forward to it in her heart.
"Stop asking!"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
"Kelly, activate it quickly and prepare to detonate it!"
(?)?
Afraid that some people would ask questions and ask questions, Anne hurried over and urged her in a hurry.
"OK!"
"First like this, then..."
"!
"Okay, okay!"
"Activated!"
"One minute left and it's going to explode!"
Under Miss Anne's urging, Keli didn't think much and directly operated the fusion blasting device of the 'Super Bouncing Big Baby' that looked like a super-large bouncing bomb with a 'multi-stage explosion serial fusion reaction', and quickly Quickly pressed a red button.
"!
"wait……"
"All right!"
"Anyway, let's stay away from here first?"
Qin originally wanted to stop her and ask questions first, but when she saw the two of them making noises and both of them being activated, she frowned, so she no longer planned to intervene, but prepared to ask everyone to fly away first. .
After all, this is the ruins of Fenglong. Even if the situation in Wangfeng Mountain happens again, it doesn't matter. No innocent people will be accidentally injured or riots will occur. If the seal is not destroyed, they will just take advantage of the situation to deal with the three. Light guide.
"that……"
(*^▽^*)
"Do you think it would be safer to use the portal directly?"
(′`)
How far can that kind of wind wing glide in one minute?
Anyway, Anne didn't think she could escape the explosion radius, so she opened another blue portal and signaled that everyone could pass through that door and stay away from here.
"Portal?"
"Where does it lead?"
This time, it was Wendy who was the first to ask, and he kept looking at it with some curiosity. He seemed to be very interested in the magic that Annie used, which was convenient, fast and could bring people along?
"Um……"
(**)
"Maybe it's a high mountain in Mingguan Gorge?"
(^～^;)ゞ
Anne didn't hide anything and directly stated the destination she had set.
"??"
"Do you need to run that far?"
Hearing this, Diluc asked with some confusion.
It's just an explosion, but it's going to Mingguan Gorge. Will they still carry out the mission later? After all, they had a hard time getting here.
"Hello!"
"Sister Anne!"
"return……"
"Less than 40 seconds left!"
"Hurry up!"
At this time, Keli was anxious, sweating profusely and urging.
As a manufacturer, as a newly promoted 'Deuterium Element Lord', she certainly knows better than anyone else the approximate power of this 'Super Bouncing Big Baby' fusion explosion device of 'Multi-stage Explosion Serial Fusion Reaction', and she also knows better how to continue it. What are the consequences of staying here?
"It's up to you to come or not!"
ヽ(⌒w⌒)?
"If something goes wrong, don't say you didn't warn me!"
?(￣??)
Annie didn't say anything more, she just grabbed Ying and ran into the portal.
"!
"Wait for me!"
Then, of course, Paimon followed.
"Master Captain!"
"Please hurry up!"
"You must hurry up!"
Keli didn't dare to neglect, so she simply stretched out her hand, pushed Captain Qin's butt and pushed into the portal.
"Why!"
"Don't push!"
"that……"
"Kelly?"
"How about we follow the original plan and use normal means to remove the halo?"
I don't know why, but the feeling of fear in Qin's heart became even stronger. So, while being pushed forward by Keli, she suddenly wanted to change her mind.
"no!"
"That's too late!"
"Once this super bouncy bomb is activated, it can't be stopped!"
Keli retorted directly and loudly.
She was indeed not lying. After all, it was the No. 1 device for testing, and she had no backdoor to deactivate the explosion.
"No more!"
"There are still more than twenty seconds!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Keli finally used her head and hands together and used all her strength to push Qin into the portal, and then she rushed in and disappeared in an instant.
"..."
"My gut tells me we'd better hurry up and catch up?"
Diluc looked at Wendy beside him.
"ha!"
"I can come back anyway, I don't mind."
Wendy slumped her shoulders, and then motioned for Diluc to go first.
…
Soon, when the two passed through the magical portal, they discovered that the destination seemed indeed to be a certain mountain top in Mingguan Gorge, and they could also vaguely see the turbid sky and high mountains of Fenglong Ruins?
"Five seconds left!"
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
'Boom!
At this time, Keli on the side was counting the time on her fingers, and at the end, she suddenly raised her hands and made an extremely exaggerated movement and mouth shape.
But...
Another thirty seconds passed, but nothing happened in the direction of Fenglong Ruins.
..∑^){=.....∑^){=.....∑^){=...
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Seeing this, Qin, Ying, Paimon, Diluc and Wendy all looked at Keli inexplicably, and inquired with their eyes. Then, of course, the atmosphere at the scene became awkward.
"Kelly?"
"What the hell are you doing?"
Qin stood aside with her arms folded, staring at Kelly with stern eyes.
Just now, Qin thought that Keli was responsible for the explosion in Mingguan Gorge!
However, thinking about it carefully, Keli seemed not to lie, and since the other party just said that the thing was a test product and had not been tested, there must be no lie. Therefore, she did not ask more questions or think too much. But now, they ran so far and ran out of the wind dragon ruins, but they made a mistake like this?
Besides, she didn't understand that even if a big explosion was more powerful than the one in Wangfeng Mountain, and even if it was about the same power as the mysterious meteorite explosion a few days ago, it wouldn't be able to travel so far, right?
"that……"
"ah!"
"I think about it, maybe I set the wrong time!"
"should be……"
"five minutes?"
Keli scratched her head, calculated again, and then flexed her fingers again, and finally she corrected her loudly by slapping her head and hopping her feet.
"fine……"
(lll￢▽￢)
"Fortunately it's not too fast."
e=(′o｀*)))Alas
Seeing that the other party could get this kind of thing wrong, Anne, who was still a little strange at first, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If it were set slower, it would just mean waiting a few more minutes, which would definitely not matter. But if it was set faster, she didn't dare to imagine what the situation would be like now.
Anyway, if there is a mess, she will not necessarily help him clean it up.
"that is......"
"Three or four minutes left?"
"All right!"
"I just hope it's not too disappointing."
Looking at the direction of the Wind Dragon ruins, Diluc thought that even if it exploded, he would not be able to see it. After thinking about it, he simply found a nearby stone and sat on it, saying this.
“I won’t be disappointed!”
"Keli is now the great lord!"
Keli retorted in an arrogant voice and gave Diluc a fierce expression.
