The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 10: Contract with the Wind God
The sudden unfamiliar voice made Ruo Jin's pupils shrink. When he turned around, he saw a young man dressed as a bard sitting on a chair, looking at him with a smile.

When? Ruo Jin swallowed deeply. He didn't even realize when this young man came behind him. You know, when he was in Liyue, he had practiced with Keqing a lot. Keqing's swordsmanship was swift. When they were practicing, he could see the trajectory of Keqing's sword. But now, he didn't notice this young man at all.

Doesn't that mean that this young man's speed is even faster than Keqing's swordsmanship? Thinking of this, Ruo Jin tensed his muscles. As long as he found anything wrong, he would definitely be the first to attack.

"Hey, singer, where have you been? We are all waiting for you here."

Paimon was very dissatisfied with Wendy's lateness. Wendy tilted his head and blinked mischievously, as if Paimon was not talking about him.

"Hey~"

"Hey, what does that mean?"

Just as Paimon was yelling at Wendy, the Rhodo Dragon King in Ruojin's body seemed a little excited at this moment. He said very affirmatively in Ruojin's mind.

"Jin boy, he is Barbatos, go ask him where Morax is."

"Barbatos? Boss Rota, are you sure this drunken bard is Mondstadt's wind god, Barbatos?"

Ruo Jin looked at Wendy who was drinking and found it a little unbelievable. The wind god Barbatos was a god from the same era as Prince Rock. Although he did not deny that the bard in front of him was very powerful, compared to a god, Ruo Jin still did not believe that this person would be Barbatos.

"I can't be mistaken. This is Barbatos."

"Come on, Boss Ruoto, last time you mistook the guest of the Walnut family for Prince Yan. If I didn't know that the guest always didn't bring Mora and had a good temper, I would have almost believed it."

"Ahem, that was just an accident last time. That guy named Zhongli looks so much like Morax. I seriously suspect he is Morax's child! Humph, when I find Morax, I will definitely ask him clearly."

When Ruo Jin mentioned his previous mistakes, the Dragon King Ruota seemed very indignant. Could he blame him? That guy named Zhongli was simply carved out of the mold of Morax. They looked so similar. If Ruota had not seen that Zhongli had the Eye of God but didn't have Morax in his pocket, he would have almost determined that he was Morax.

"If you don't believe me, why don't you just greet that guy using the name Barbatos?"

This does seem to be a solution. Ruo Jin thought about it and felt that Boss Ruota's idea was very good. He patted the dust off his clothes, clasped his hands together and said respectfully to Wendy.

"Liyue Ruojin has met Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence in Angel's Gift. Ying stopped writing and stared at Wendy with wide eyes. Diluk showed an expression of "as expected". As for Qin, she was stunned.

"Eh??? Wendy is the God of Wind??? Ruojin, are you mistaken? How could a street singer be the God of Wind?"

Before Wendy could say anything, Paimon on the side started to question her. Little Paimon stared at Wendy with big eyes, but she couldn't see how Wendy, a drunkard, looked like the God of Wind.

"It seems that my perception is correct. This young man must have a good relationship with the Dragon King of your Liyue. With such a strong aura on him, I thought that the Dragon King of Liyue wanted to vent his anger on me because he couldn't beat old man Morax."

"You, are you really Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind?" Wendy's words implicitly acknowledged his identity as the God of Wind, which made Qin, a devout believer of the God of Wind, very frightened. She did not notice the god appearing beside her at the first time, which was simply a great disrespect to the god.

Of course this cannot be blamed on Jean. The diligent acting leader of the Knights of Favonius never imagined that the bard who often sang in the square would actually be their own wind god, Lord Barbatos.

Diluk was also a little surprised by this answer, but because he had some guesses about Wendy's identity before, he didn't lose his composure like Jean. After all, Diluk didn't believe that if the bard named Wendy in front of him had no relationship with the god of wind Barbatos, his intelligence network would not be able to investigate this person's background.

"Lord Barbatos, please forgive my previous rudeness to you. I didn't expect that you have been silently protecting Mondstadt. This is really great."

Jean excitedly saluted Wendy as a knight. The smile on Wendy's face froze and looked a little unnatural, while Paimon kept complaining regardless of the occasion.

"I didn't expect that you, who are singing for money, are actually the God of Wind! Then why did you ask us to steal the Sky Harp? You are such a mean guy!"

"Hey, Paimon, don't be so excited. My strength has been greatly reduced and I am just an ordinary bard. Speaking of which, my friend, do you have something important to do in Mondstadt?"

Wendy smiled and calmed Qin's excited heart. Seeing that Qin's emotions had calmed down, Wendy breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ruojin beside her.

The moment Ruo Jin stepped into Mondstadt, Feng brought news to Wendy. For Mondstadt, which was in the midst of a dragon disaster, the sudden rise of rich rock elements was so intense that even though Wendy no longer wanted to leave the gift from the angels, he went to investigate it in person.

The result of this investigation was not a big deal. The faint aura of King Ryota on Ruojin frightened Wendy. In order to prevent Mondstadt from becoming a city in Liyue after awakening, Wendy secretly observed Ruojin all the way.
"Lord Barbatos, I came here to seek your help."

"Huh? Seeking my help? You're not going to stop believing in old man Morax and start believing in me, are you?"

"No, no, you are a follower of Mr. Morax. If I help you, wouldn't that mean I'm stealing his followers? If Mr. Morax finds out, he will definitely not let me go."

"You have such a good relationship with the Dragon King, you must know the temper of Mr. Morax, right?"

Wendy shook her head like a rattle and it seemed that she was unwilling to help Ruojin. This made Ruojin a little distressed. She didn't expect that it would be so easy to see the God of Wind, but she was stuck because the God of Wind refused to help. It was such a headache.

"Then how can Lord Fengshen help me?"

"There is actually another way to help you, but..."

Wendy's face showed obvious hesitation but her eyes flashed with cunning. Ruo Jin looked at the excellent acting skills of the Lord Wind God in front of him, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, but in order to restore Ruota's freedom, Ruo Jin still gritted his teeth and said.

"Master Fengshen, if you need any help, please let me know. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best to help you."

"Hey, since you said so, I can only take the risk to help you. But before that, I need you to help me complete one thing..."
