Explorer of Teyvat

The heights of Mondstadt are the location of the Church of the Wind God.

Although Mondstadt's large and small affairs are now handled by the Knights,

But the status of Fengshen Church was not affected, but became even more noble.

The glory of the wind god Barbatos still shines here,

In front of Mondstadt Cathedral is the Aeolian Square.

The statue of the God of Winds standing here is the work of the old aristocracy.

But after the winds of rebellion blew, Vanessa did not overthrow Him.

It was the old nobles who were wrong, not the God of Wind.

As a result, the Statue of the Wind God has survived to this day. Under the care of the church, it is still one of the most magnificent scenery in Mondstadt.

Of course, some people who have been to the desert and come back always say that there is a statue in the desert that is bigger than the statue of the wind god. The Mondstadt people don't like this, but they don't care either.

Because freedom and happiness are Mond's themes.

In front of the wind god statue,

The bard strummed the strings and sang the story of love and wind and flowers, and many tourists were listening around him.

Wang Daoyi listened to the singing of poetry with everyone, admiring it while feeling a little disappointed.

Although the other party's performance is very good and he can be regarded as a performing artist,

But he is just an ordinary bard, not a little boy with white silk stockings.

Beside,

Yun Jin's eyes were full of energy. Although there was a big difference between opera and poetry, the contents of art were the same.

Yun Jin could completely understand and feel the story of love and romance, so the girl gave her warm applause.

Although Xin Yan can also hear beautiful stories in poems, she is really not very interested in such love stories.

However, when the performance ended, she still gave the same applause as Yun Jin.

"Don't you like poetry like this?"

A ray of breeze surrounded Xin Yan's ears, and she seemed to hear someone speaking in her ears,

"Hmm?"

Yun Jin looked confused: "What?"

Xin Yan frowned. She didn't think she was hallucinating. Someone was talking in her ear just now.

"Just now, I heard someone talking to me, but I couldn't find anyone."

"Huh?" Everyone's attention was attracted by Xin Yan, and then Xiangling looked at Wang Daoyi, "Did Brother Daoyi hear this?"

If someone was really talking to Xin Yan, it would be impossible to hide it from Wang Daoyi who was so close.

Wang Dao nodded: "Yes."

With a smile on his face, he glanced at the huge statue of the wind god in front of him.

Then he looked at Xin Yan: "This is Mondstadt, the country of poetry and wind. The wind will bring the seeds of stories. Xin Yan, this is the wind talking to you."

"The wind is talking to me?" Xin Yan was stunned for a moment, and then an excited look appeared on his face.

For an artist, is there anything more attractive than this legendary thing?

"Then what should I do?" Xin Yan looked at Wang Daoyi with excitement.

"Listen to the voice of the wind, and then make your own decision. This is how it is in legendary stories." Although he didn't know what Wendy wanted to do, Wang Daoyi still cooperated with him.

"Listen?" As a rock singer, Xin Yan understands the meaning of the word "listen" better than many people.

She slowly closed her eyes and listened to the flow of the wind around her.

"Don't you like this kind of poetry?" The gentle voice appeared in Xin Yan's ears again.

"No, I just have music that I like more." Xin Yan replied in his heart.

The breeze surrounded her, seeming to be happy with her answer,

There's no music she doesn't like, she just has music she likes better.

"Then what do you like?" Qingfeng brought a new question.

"Rock, I like rock, I like the songs of rebellion, I like passionate life, I like what I love."

Xin Yan didn't hesitate at all and gave the answer in his heart.

The breeze is blowing, and I seem to be getting happier.

"Resistance and enthusiasm are really familiar words. So, are you willing to bring a song of resistance to the people of Mondstadt?"

"Of course, that's what I'm here for."

"Then go, girl, and the wind will bless you."

In front of the statue of the God of Wind, wisps of breeze suddenly rose, as if cheering, welcoming, and waiting.

Xin Yan opened his eyes and saw the colorful flags blowing in the breeze in front of the statue of the God of Wind.

She clearly felt that the breeze blowing the colorful flags was cheering her on.

"Daoyi, can I go over and perform?" Suppressing his inner passion, Xin Yan looked at Wang Daoyi.

She has never been to Mondstadt, but her upbringing has taught her that if you want to do something in other people's territory, it is best not to violate other people's rules.

Resistance is a fight against injustice, not against order.

"Of course, the wind is inviting you, and the people of Mondstadt will not resist the wind's choice."

Wang Daoyi's words lit up Xin Yan's eyes with fire.

She reached out and touched her waist, and a red and black guitar appeared in her hand.

Taking a small step forward, the breeze suddenly flowed and began to surround her.

The girl surrounded by the wind,

Many Mondstadt citizens and tourists were attracted.

Just like Wang Daoyi said, the people of Mondstadt will not reject Feng's choice.

Xin Yan's performance hasn't even started yet, and some people have already given scattered applause of encouragement.

Under the statue of the wind god,

The bard who put away the xylophone looked at Xin Yan, with a smile in his eyes.

"Fontaine's guitar, are you going to perform rock music?"

Xin Yan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that someone had already guessed his performance before he started playing.

"Are you surprised? Haha, although the bard originated from Mondstadt, but the poet is like the wind, we will not only stay in Mondstadt. I have been to Fontaine and learned about this art." As he said, he chanted The bard showed a trace of embarrassment, "I also tried to learn, but unfortunately, my voice doesn't support me roaring like that."

Then without waiting for Xin Yan to speak, the bard added: "Since it is a performance, let me announce it to you. What is your performance type? Praise? Resistance? Or fanaticism?"

"Resist, I will sing for resistance." Xin Yan said immediately.

The bard nodded, then walked to the audience and said: "People of Mondstadt, and friends who come and go, please let this girl bring us a brand new performance, rock and roll Play, sing for defiance!”

"Oh oh oh oh~"

The bard's introduction made everyone focus on the girl in front of the statue.

The free Mondstadt can accommodate all existences. Even though it may be the first time for them to hear the word rock, the audience still generously applauded and cheered.

Xin Yan listened to the applause and cheers in his ears, and his inner enthusiasm gradually surged.

As a performer, she has never been shy. Applause and cheers only make her enthusiastic.

However, among the onlookers, Xiang Ling and Yun Jin looked at Xin Yan with some worry, fearing that Xin Yan had made a mistake.

With the cheers of the audience and the blowing of the wind,

Xin Yan plucked the strings,

The completely different sounds of guitar and xylophone sounded under the statue of the God of Winds, quickly attracting the audience's attention.

The applause and cheers became smaller, and everyone began to listen to Xin Yan's singing.

As a country of poetry, it was their first time to come into contact with something like rock and roll. For a while, they couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

But as a people of the God of Wind, as a worshiper of Vanessa, as a descendant of the ancestors who overthrew the tyranny,

They listened to Xin Yan's increasingly high-spirited singing, and felt the emotion of breaking through constraints and resisting injustice.

Compared to poems praising Lady Vanessa, this form of rock music brings stronger, more direct, and more passionate emotional impact.

at the same time,

On the corridor of Fengshen Square,

A rigid but energetic old man looked at Xin Yan under the statue of the God of Winds, his eyes flickering slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Father, let's go back. We are all untouchables here." A middle-aged man stood beside the old man and said to comfort him.

The old man shook his head slightly: "Did you hear anything?"

The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. As a member of the old aristocracy, he could naturally hear the emotion and will in Xin Yan's singing.

The old aristocracy of Mondstadt, you can call them conservative or tyrannical, but one thing is undeniable, that is, their artistic aesthetic is online.

"You can hear it, right? The song of resistance. Hey, do you have any ideas?"

The old man looked at the middle-aged man with a calm expression.

The middle-aged man looked slightly ferocious: "Untouchables, untouchables, they are all untouchables."

In the eyes of middle-aged people, singing songs of resistance under the statue of the God of Winds is not praising Vanessa.

To praise Vanessa is not to criticize their family.

A trace of disappointment flashed in the old man's eyes. The family's education was getting worse and worse.

After losing power, the resources that the family could mobilize plummeted. Coupled with the changes of time, the younger generations of the family were obsessed with restoring their glory, but their own abilities and qualities were unable to carry the family's flag.

"Let's go, let's go home." The old man turned and left, leaning on his cane.

The middle-aged man immediately followed.

On the other side, Wang Daoyi withdrew his gaze, looked at Xin Yan after the performance, and gave warm applause with the people around him.

Resistance and enthusiasm,

These two words are really suitable for Mondstadt. Xin Yan’s first performance in Mondstadt ended perfectly.

"Bah bang bang."

The bards on the side applauded, then walked to Xin Yan,

"Wonderful, really wonderful. Your performance reminds me of my time in Fontaine. Those..." The bard was stunned for a moment, then showed a wry smile and shook his head slightly, "Sorry, I remembered some unhappy things."

Then he adjusted his mood and looked at Xin Yan excitedly: "Have you ever learned about Mondstadt's legendary Lady Vanessa?"

Hearing the bard's question,

Xin Yan nodded slightly: "I once chatted with my friends, but I didn't understand him very well."

Once, when Wang Daoyi was listening to Xin Yan's performance, he and Xin Yan talked about Vanessa's story. Both of them liked Vanessa very much. (Chapter 206)

"You know that would be great. As the liberator of Mondstadt, Lady Vanessa has a high reputation in Mondstadt, but our poems praising Lady Vanessa have not been updated for a long time."

As he said that, the bard was a little embarrassed. His face turned slightly red with a hint of shyness: "I would like to ask you to compose a rock song about Lady Vanessa. Perhaps it will bring us new inspiration."

Art is all interconnected. Although this sentence is not recognized by everyone, it does have some truth.

After hearing Xin Yan's rebellious song, the bard had an inference.

"Would you compose a rock song for Vanessa?" Xin Yan was a little moved, but hesitated for a while and looked at his friends.

Yun Jin took a step closer: "Going out is just for happiness. If you want to, don't worry about us."

As a good friend of Xin Yan, Yun Jin could see Xin Yan's struggles at a glance.

She wanted to compose a legendary rock song by Vanessa, but she was afraid of neglecting her friends.

After all, everyone is here to play together, so it doesn't seem right for her to leave the group halfway to write songs.

But Yun Jin broke Xin Yan's scruples. Artistic creation does not require so many worries. Creating when you have an idea is the best state of an artist.

Xiangling also nodded: "Yeah, traveling is just to fulfill your dream. If you have an idea, don't worry about us, just go for it."

Xiangling thought about the first time she came to Mondstadt. Wang Daoyi accompanied her, and she was often separated from Wang Daoyi. Wang Daoyi went to Mondstadt Library to study, while she went to the Cat Tail Tavern to find Dior. Na.

Therefore, if Xin Yan finds his goal and leaves the team, Xiang Ling will definitely support it.

Feeling everyone's support and tolerance for her, Xin Yan nodded very strongly: "Thank you everyone."

"You don't have to be so polite, we are also looking forward to Xin Yan's performance after her creation." Xiang Ling said with a smile.

Xin Yan nodded vigorously again: "I won't let you down. When the creation is completed, I will perform here again."

Amid everyone's smiles and blessings, Xin Yan turned to look at the bard: "Hello, I have agreed with my companions that I can help write a rock song about the legend of Vanessa."

The bard was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, my companions have been checking information in the Mondstadt Library recently. Are you free now?"

"If you're free, I'll go with you."

Xin Yan left with the bard,

Wang Dao and three others were left looking at each other.

After a while, Wangdao smiled and said: "Xiang Ling, why don't you take Yun Jin to Diona, and I'll go to Wendy to ask some questions."

Xiangling nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, then we'll see you tonight."

Xiang Ling knew Wendy. They were already familiar with her when they fought against the Wind Demon Dragon together.

Hearing that Wang Daoyi was going to find Wendy, Xiang Ling naturally didn't ask any more questions.

He let go of Wang Daoyi's arm and took Yun Jin's hand: "Come on, Yun Jin, I'll take you to my friend. She's really good at making drinks."

With that said, he left with Yun Jin.

Wang Dao was left standing alone in the square,

After stopping for a while, Wang Daoyi turned and left.

Outside Mondstadt,

On an apple tree,

The little boy with white silk stockings was sitting on a tree branch, dangling his feet, and holding a bottle of cider in his hand.

"You want to forgive Lawrence?"

Wang Daoyi's figure emerged under the tree.

Wendy seemed to have known that King Dao was coming soon, and jumped down from the apple tree with a little force: "The angel's gift of reserve cider, do you want some?"

"Did you pay?" Wang Dao glanced at the cider in Wendy's hand.

Wendy's face turned red: "Of course I paid. I sang at Angel's Gift for several nights."

"You'd better pay." Wang Daoyi did not take Wendy's cider, but took out two bottles of sand coconut wine from the Chensong pot and threw one to Wendy.

Wendy was not polite, put away her cider, and caught the cider thrown by Wang Dao.

"The coconut wine in the desert is really good." Wendy sighed and praised after drinking it in one gulp.

"If you like it, I can have someone send you a batch." Wang Daoyi said grandly.

If the God of Wind can be bribed with wine, then Wang Daoyi will definitely not be stingy with some wine.

Of course, Wendy shook her head gently,

If the emperor said to send wine, then Wendy would agree without hesitation, because the relationship between them will not change because of some wine.

But now if Wang Daoyi wants to send wine, he should send someone from the desert to deliver it. Wendy will not accept this kind of 'gift' easily.

"Okay, let's get down to business. Do you want to forgive Lawrence?"

As soon as Xin Yan arrived in front of the Wind God Statue, he heard the call of the wind. If this had nothing to do with Wendy, then Wang Daoyi didn't believe it.

And Xin Yan has now begun to compose rock music about Vanessa's legend. In Wang Daoyi's opinion, it is Wendy who is guiding her.

If you were an ordinary person, you might think that Wendy was guiding Xin Yan to praise Vanessa’s spirit of resistance.

By the way, the Lawrence family will be stepped on again.

But Wang Daoyi didn't think so. The reason was very simple. There was no need for Wendy to step on Lawrence.

To the God of Wind, Lawrence is also his people.

Whether they are ordinary Mondstadt people or Lawrence, who is called a sinner, to Wendy, they are all his people and the objects of his protection.

Therefore, Wang Daoyi guessed that what Wendy wanted to guide Xin Yan to do was not to step on Lawrence, but to give Lawrence a chance to be forgiven.

Of course, Wang Daoyi still doesn’t know what the specific situation is.

She took a sip of the coconut wine into her mouth, and the clear and sweet taste put a smile on Wendy's face.

"Do you think Lawrence is guilty?"

Wendy asked, knowing that Wang Daoyi must understand what Lawrence had done in Mondstadt, and he wanted to hear Wang Daoyi's opinion.

"There is no point in asking me this question, Barbatos. As long as the people of Mondstadt think Lawrence is a sinner, then they are sinners."

Wang Daoyi said calmly.

When the voices come together, right or wrong, it means nothing, the crowd breaks through everything.

"Just like the changes that Yora has made, everyone knows that she is doing good things, but there are still Mondstadt people who hate her and even maliciously speculate that this is Lawrence's conspiracy to subvert the Knights."

"Whether Lawrence is a sinner or not is not important at all. What is important is whether the people of Mondstadt are willing to forgive Lawrence, and whether Lawrence is willing to be forgiven."

Wendy was silent for a moment, then smiled softly and drank the wine in her hand.

"You're right, let's see, give Lawrence a chance and see if they are willing to make some changes."

After saying that, he threw away the wine bottle in his hand. The breeze blew by and the bottle turned into fly ash.

"Want to go and see it together?"

The Wind God sends an invitation.
