People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

Rhodes didn't say anything and continued to read the book in his hand.

The book he pulled out casually was "Wind in the Forest".

This is a collection of poems left by many unknown bards, compiled and recorded by Mond scholars, and is composed of two volumes together with the narrative poem collection titled "Lake Wind".

There are many poems recorded in it.

Rather than being a poem, it is more of a history recorded in poetic form.

At least Rhodes read a lot of stories about Wendy and Tevalin from the book "The Wind in the Forest".

It is said that in order to win listeners and moras, bards' songs often exaggerate or simply distort history, and the credibility of most of the content is extremely low.

But Rod looked at it for a long time.

But suddenly discovered.

Many of the stories recorded in this book "The Wind in the Forest" are clearly a real history book if we remove many of the words based on imagination and the deliberately piled up gorgeous rhetoric.

The history of Mond is recorded here.

It is even more detailed and complete than the history books used as textbooks in Mond now. It covers everything from the story of the Storm God ruling Mond during the Demon War, to the history of Mond overthrowing the old nobles with the salvation of the Wind God a thousand years ago, to the bloody battle between Tevarin and Durin five hundred years ago.

Turning over and over.

Rod noticed one thing.

That is, the poems in "The Wind in the Woods" have large time gaps.

For example, the timeline in this book can be traced back to more than two thousand years ago, but then it jumps directly to a thousand years ago. The more than one thousand years in between are all poems about the scenery and the changes in Mondstadt. There is a serious lack of historical records like the previous ones about the Storm Devil and the God of Wind. After the history of the Four Wind Guardians, it jumps directly to five hundred years ago, until the East Wind Dragon suffered severe damage and was recalled by the God of Wind and fell into sleep. The historical records came to an abrupt end, and what followed were some modern poems with little nutrition.

This strange recording style made Rod think of a possibility.

"Most of the poems here were written by you, right?"

Rhodes closed the poetry collection in his hand with a snap and turned to look at Wendy.

He is now 80% sure.

Most of the poems here were probably written by Wendy and then passed down through his personal singing.

have to say.

This is indeed a good way to keep the faith.

No wonder he hasn't appeared for hundreds of years and Mond's belief in him remains so fanatical.

Let’s review.

The deeds of the wind god recorded in "Wind in the Forest".

He led the oppressed people of Mondstadt to rebel against the Storm Lord, won the War of the Lord of Storms and became one of the Seven Lords of the Earth; he split the mountains, blew away the ice and snow, spread grains, and transformed the icy and snowy Mondstadt into the four seasons of spring today, allowing the wandering ancestors of Mondstadt to settle down; he overthrew the old nobles and helped the people of Mondstadt get rid of their oppressed lives and regain their freedom; he tamed the wind dragons that fell from the sky and used them as a basis to create the Four Wind Guardians of Mondstadt, the cornerstone of Mondstadt; when the inheritance of the Lion of the South Wind in Mondstadt became vacant, the Wolf of the North Wind died in battle, and the Eagle of the West Wind suffered heavy casualties, he plucked the strings to summon the Dragon of the East Wind, and the god and the dragon fought desperately with the evil dragon Durin, saving Mondstadt from danger for countless times.

Many of these stories can even be memorized by children in Mond.

To sum it up.

Even though the Wind God disappears from time to time, whenever there is a major crisis in Mondstadt and the people's lives become unsustainable, he will appear on time to pull the people of Mondstadt out of the quagmire and return them to a free and easy life.

Day after day, year after year, this is passed down.

How could the Mond people not have a firm belief in the God of Wind!

Judging from the most classic statements of the beneficiaries, and considering that Wendy herself is a bard, Rhodes has sufficient reason to suspect that there is a high probability that Wendy is the creator and disseminator of these poems.

Perhaps the first thing he does every time he wakes up from a deep sleep is to continue singing these poems so that the people of Mond will not forget these past events.

For such questions.

Wendy didn't even raise her head, and continued to read the fairy tale book, saying, "Guess~~"

Well, no need to guess.

Wendy must have done these things herself.

The reason why the people of Mondstadt had forgotten about Tevarin was most likely because Wendy had just woken up not long ago and no one liked to listen to his old songs, so there was no time to officially start singing his songs, which caused Tevarin to fall into the pain of betrayal.

at this time.

The door of the library was gently pushed open.

Followed by.

A silver-haired girl in a maid outfit walked in.

Rhodes imitated Lisa and looked up and said, "Please register when borrowing books. Books in the restricted area are not available for loan at this time."

"Hey, isn't Miss Lisa here?"

The maid looked around and then turned her gaze back to Rhodes and asked, "Sir, are you the new librarian?"

"Senior Sister Lisa went out for breakfast. I'm just filling in here."

Rhode put down the book in his hand, looked at the maid and said, "Do you want to borrow a book? If you want to borrow a book, just pick it up and register it yourself."

This style of sewing a knight's uniform and a maid's uniform together makes it easy to recognize who she is.

Noelle.

A maid of the Knights of Favonius, an apprentice knight, known for being 'too busy' and 'kind'.

From the Knights' banquet, commercial performances in the wine industry, to ordinary people's family barbecues, as long as Noelle is needed, she will appear like a gust of wind and solve various problems neatly and efficiently.

Therefore in the Mond population.

She is sometimes referred to as the Universal Maid.

"I, I'm not here to borrow books."

Noelle blushed slightly and said, "I'm here to see Miss Lisa. I want to ask her if she has any potions I can borrow."

A very honest answer.

Why do you want to borrow medicine?

Rhode knew without guessing that she must want to try to defeat the Wind Dragon alone, so as to directly eliminate the disaster that has been plaguing Mondstadt for a long time from the source.

But he didn't ask any more questions, he just replied: "Wait here for a while, Senior Sister won't be back until she finishes breakfast."

"No, no, I'll come back later."

As soon as Noelle finished speaking, she heard someone outside the library shouting her name.

Hear this sound.

Noel, like a conditioned reflex, first saluted Rhodes with an apologetic look on his face, and then ran out like the wind.

In this regard.

Rod's comment was just one sentence: "It's really busy."

As he spoke, he glanced at Wendy, who was humming a song while reading a fairy tale book and had no idea that she was slacking off.

It didn't take long.

The door of the library was pushed open again.

This time.

The person who came was a young man with blue hair and an eye patch.

As soon as he entered the room, he greeted Rhode and Wendy in a familiar manner, "Hey, Lisa finally found help. Hello, I'm Kaia, the cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius. What should I call you?"

"I'm Rhodes, and Lisa is my senior sister."

After Rod finished his reply, Wendy followed suit and introduced herself.

"Oh~"

"Lisa's junior fellow apprentice, and the bard who's been very popular lately."

"Hello~"

Kaiya strode over to the two of them with a smile on his face, picked up the teapot on the table, poured some water, and found that there was no tea in it. He muttered, "Lisa is really something. There are guests coming, but you don't prepare some tea."

Say it.

He picked up the teapot and said as he walked, "Wait a moment, my two guests. I'll make you some tea. It would be a violation of the etiquette of our Knights if we don't treat you well."

Not a few minutes.

Kaiya came back with a pot of boiling water in his hand.

While making tea, he couldn't close his mouth. While his hands' movements were not affected, he kept asking Rhodes and Wendy some questions.

For example, when did Rhodes come, whether he was harassed by wind dragons or restless monsters on the way, whether the bard came to seek help, etc.

They are all very simple little problems.

Rhodes answered each question truthfully.

At the same time, his void terminal warned a mortal for the first time.

【He has slight ill will towards you. 】

This is the warning given by the Void Terminal.

The void terminal made by Nashida has standards for its alert level, and the minor malice generally refers to small matters like being suspected.

When Rhodes met Keqing in Liyue before and was warned by her not to follow Fan Jin again, this warning was not triggered.

As a result, Kaia's seemingly ordinary inquiry triggered this early warning.

"Are you used to getting information from chatting?"

Rhodes knew what was going on, but he remained calm and responded to Kaia calmly.

Chatting and chatting.

When Kaiya brought the brewed strong tea personally.

The relationship between the two became like that of old friends, and it was hard to tell that they had only known each other for a short time.

Wendy likes wine and would not refuse the tea. After taking a sip from the cup, she praised, "Wow, this craftsmanship reminds me of an old friend I knew before."

An old friend of Wendy's.

I think it's Zhongli.

Rhodes muttered inwardly, took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and continued chatting with Kaia.

Kaia is very knowledgeable.

There is a distinct contrast between his words and actions, which always seem to be not serious.

He and Rhodes chatted about everything from Mond's history to the right temperature for frying eggs. The range of their topics was broad enough to make the old scholars of the Order Institute sweat profusely.

However, the two of them were able to have a pleasant conversation.

No matter what the topic is, we can communicate without any barriers.

Occasionally Wendy would interject a few words, making the already heated discussion even more lively.

Someone came to borrow a book.

Rhodes let them do whatever they wanted while he continued chatting with Kaia.

Such a chat.

Soon they were talking about each other's favorite stories.

Kaia mentioned a light novel that was a bestseller in Inazuma. It told the story of a protagonist who was reincarnated as the god General Raiden. It was filled with fantastic fantasies and bold fictional designs. He read it several times and still felt like he wanted more. He also recommended the book to Rod and Wendy, asking them to read it when they had time.

Wendy tells the old story of the Mond people's rebellion against the Storm God, but his focus is on the hidden story of the touching friendship between the wind god Barbatos and his friend.

It's Rod's turn.

He pondered for a while before speaking: "My favorite story is the story of a rich young master."

"Rich young master?"

"Is it the kind of story where a rich young man's family falls into poverty, and he is hunted by someone, but he eventually meets an old beggar or falls into a valley and has an adventure, and eventually learns a set of world-shaking martial arts, and after taking revenge, he becomes a world-famous hero?"

This is a classic cliché in Liyue Knight novels. Kaeya has read it many times, but after hearing what Rhode said, he seemed to have little interest.

When a routine first appears, it still feels fresh.

But almost every chivalrous novel about Liyue follows this pattern, which makes it boring.
