People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 355 Lin Feng: You have to do more work before you retire, right Wendy?
The next morning, in the northernmost part of Mondstadt.

The orange-red sun slowly rises from the hills in the east.

The warm sunshine that shines throughout the year shines through the empty circular square in front of the church, casting a soft golden glow on the statue of the god of wind in the center of the square and the church high above.

In this leisurely time when most Mond citizens have not yet woken up,
A breeze that came from nowhere lightly passed through the slowly rotating windmill on the high tower, through the stained glass high up in the church, and blew into the space between the many priests and nuns who were doing morning prayers.

Free Mondstadt is a country where God does not exist. This is the perception of most foreigners.

But beneath this appearance of no God personally governing,

The belief of countless Mond people in the God of Wind has actually been quietly integrated into their culture, customs, festivals, and even clothing and diet.

Therefore, as an institution dedicated to the gods, the Church of Favonius is actually very important in Mondstadt.

Although nominally under the management of the Knights Templar, the Church not only has extremely high autonomy, but can even legally form its own armed forces.

But in such an institution with strict rules,

The priest who was presiding over the sacrament at the highest point of the church was unexpectedly young.
Judging from the appearance alone,

This girl, dressed in a white priest robe and with light golden twin ponytails, was not much older than some of the students in the school:
——Undoubtedly, being able to preside over a sacrament of this scale at such an age,

This girl is naturally Mondstadt's most popular priest and idol, "Barbara".

After a while,

When a series of processes such as reading psalms, preaching, praying, and asking for blessings are completed one after another,

As the organ music slowly faded away, today's daily worship service came to an end.

"."

I let out a long sigh, seeing that the morning class was finally over.
This pastor, who is always gentle, cheerful and optimistic in the eyes of the people,

Looking at the many nuns below who were having brief exchanges, I felt inexplicably discouraged:
——Although everyone in the church was very nice and no one ever questioned her because of her age or qualifications,
But Barbara knew in her heart that her current status was inseparable from her father's silent help.

As the bishop of the West Wind Church, known as the "Cardinal of the Dawn", my father's position in the church has long been unshakable.

She knew that even if she didn't work as hard as she was doing now, she could still achieve the same status.

But even if she didn't become lazy,

Instead, she won the recognition of many nuns and the public through her own efforts.
But as long as I think of my sister who is regarded as the glory of the family and is now the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius,
Barbara still felt a strong sense of frustration.

".After father and mother separated, it has been a long time since you had a good conversation with your sister, right?"

".Although my sister's talent is dazzling, this habit of not caring about her own body is too bad."

Recalling the last time I heard from Amber that my sister had fainted, I rushed to help treat her.

When I got there, I found out that someone had already treated her and that my sister was not in any serious condition.
But while Barbara was thanking the scholar, she also felt helpless about her sister's desperate style.

".My father and the Grand Master have both left, and Lord Barbatos has not responded to my prayers for a long time.
If someone could help, maybe my sister wouldn't be so tired."

Thinking of the many Knights of Favonius who participated in the expedition and the Wind God who had not sent down an oracle for hundreds of years,

Barbara always felt that it was too hard for her sister to make all the decisions on her own.

"Well, I heard that Lord Barbatos seemed to have appeared in Liyue, and that the blessed traveler also happened to come to Mondstadt.
Otherwise, when you have time later, you can ask for the specific details. Maybe you can have a chance to get Lord Barbatos to respond to your prayers again."

I sighed in my heart,

Barbara didn't know why the nuns and priests were so pious, but Lord Barbatos never responded to them.
After thinking for a moment,

I felt that since Lord Barbatos had already appeared, if I hadn't received a response, it must be because I hadn't tried hard enough.
She also secretly clenched her fists to cheer herself up, and decided to study the scriptures again after the show was over.

Wait, scriptures?
Suddenly I remembered that the prayer book was still lying aside and not put away.

Seeing that most people had left, Barbara turned around and planned to take back the precious book her father had given her from the shelf.

"Clatter, crash, crash -"

？ ！！

"Eh?! Why did the scripture flip up by itself? The wind? Was it because the window was not closed?"

I could vaguely hear the sound of turning pages of a book.

When he turned around, he found that the West Wind Canon placed on the pulpit was flipping at high speed!

After the initial doubts, I vaguely thought of a possibility with a very low probability.
Barbara, who had just been troubled by this matter, suddenly cheered up and quickly ran to the pulpit.

And when he discovered the golden harp floating above the canon, and heard the melody that sounded like the breeze blowing by his ears,

Her eyes lit up, and she became more excited than ever before:

".Sure enough, it's the Sky Harp!"

"——According to the scriptures, this is the response of Lord Barbatos!"

Although the service has ended, there are still nuns and Knights of Favonius on duty in the church all the time.

After seeing this scene,
Not only Barbara, but everyone who had not received any response from the God of Wind for hundreds of years became extremely excited.

Before they could inform the Cardinal who was in charge as quickly as possible,
At the moment when the Sky Harp was played, an extremely friendly voice penetrated into everyone's hearts like a breeze:
"——My dear child of Mondstadt, please forgive me for taking a nap in the gap of time~
I will borrow the Sky Harp first. I will use it to welcome back an old friend who has been away for a long time.
If you hear the ancient trees rustling in the wind, or the unusual ripples on the wine lake,

Don't worry, it's just dandelion wine spilled when old friends meet again.
By the way! This time I came from Xumiguai and invited a great new friend,

If there are any changes in Mondstadt's environment, please don't panic.

As long as he's here, no matter what the problem is, it can be solved!"

"."

Along with this highly recognizable voice with a strong sense of freedom,
No one present doubted the authenticity of this oracle.
——Such a unique oracle could only be uttered by their free and unrestrained Lord Wind God.

Because of her in-depth study of the Wind God's scriptures, Barbara was able to understand the oracle the moment she heard it.

He was able to extract from the oracle the information that his own wind god had brought a god friend from Xumi and that Mondstadt might undergo a huge change.
But even so, after she heard this sudden oracle, she was still confused by the huge amount of information:

——So, Lord Barbatos failed to respond to prayers for hundreds of years because he overslept?
Well, that's a very free reason.
So who is the old friend who borrowed the Sky Harp this time and wants to welcome it back? If it is not returned, what will happen to the future badminton festival?
Finally, who is that amazing new friend?

Anyone who could be described as 'incredible' by Lord Barbatos must be a very powerful god, right?

Will the situation be the same as in Liyue, with gods from other countries coming to Mondstadt?

For a moment, countless chaotic thoughts were churning in Barbara's mind.

Because there was so much information contained in these few short sentences, the young pastor fell into a dizzy state for the first time in a long time.

At the same time, the second floor of the hotel is Lin Feng’s temporary residence.

After this well-maintained golden harp was successfully "borrowed",

A drunkard in green also let out a long breath, revealing an expression as if he was burned out:
"Now my friend, you should be able to act with confidence, right?"

"——I specifically told them not to panic no matter what happened.
So, even if there is a little more noise in the future, they will definitely understand. Um... probably."

Suddenly I recalled the previous times when my friend awakened the elemental power. The scene could not be described as "a little bit louder".
Convinced that this time the commotion would be quite large, Wendy also showed an expression that showed little confidence.

"Well, it can be regarded as solving one of the most troublesome problems."

"Given Mond's current special situation, if you don't notify us in advance,
If I had taken action two more times, rumors might have spread that the Xumi God had occupied Mondstadt."

It was with great difficulty that Wendy was forced to work.

Lin Feng recalled the unique "oracle" just now, and felt that this guy's style of painting among the gods was quite unique.

".However, from what I heard from your oracle, it seems that you intend to throw all the problems to me?"

"No matter what, you are Mondstadt's God after all. Is it really okay for you to slack off to this extent?"

I just watched the entire morning service in the church, which is usually not open to the public.

After comparing the situation in other countries,

Lin Feng was also convinced that Mond's system of worshipping gods was the most rigorous and complete one among the seven countries.
With so many devout believers, it is a miracle that Wendy can be so thorough in his work.

"Hey, don't look at me like this, I'm actually quite old, okay?
If you can completely adjust the environment of Mondstadt, then maybe I will be able to enjoy a happy retirement life in the future!"

Wendy's face seemed to be filled with longing, as if she had thought about the situation of not having to work at all.

Lin Feng: "."

So the old man has delayed his retirement, but you want to retire early, right?

Apart from all the sleeping, I doubt you've worked a lot.
"."

He shook his head and temporarily put aside the idea of ​​finding more work for Wendy.
Seeing that all preparations before the official action were finally completed,
Lin Feng didn't plan to continue chatting with this guy who could get full by drinking.

Because before coming to Mondstadt, I had been curious about the taste of the authentic sweet flower-stuffed chicken that had accompanied me for most of my gaming career.

He also planned to take advantage of his free time to stroll around the streets of Mondstadt.
See if you can find some familiar food in the game.

On the other side,
When Lin Feng was about to go out to look for food,
After a day of hard work yesterday, the new house is almost ready.
A certain white-haired kid who had been eager to make a move also pulled his companions to the street.

Smell the delicious aroma in the air.

Paimon, who had a rare difficulty making a decision, was also hesitant about where they should go:

".Hmm. I haven't been to any of the stores. It's hard to decide."

".Why don't we go ask some locals?"

After all, when I was in Liyue before, considering the cost-effectiveness and taste, in most cases I just went to Wanmin Hall.

After getting to know Xiangling, you can get a dining experience that far exceeds the price.

I hope to find such a good and cheap long-term base in Mond.

In order to make the final result more rigorous, Paimeng’s initial goal is to eat at all the restaurants that can be found!
A moment later, on the streets of Mond.

"--Hmm? You're asking if there's any dining place that 'can bring happiness'?

——Then I suggest you try "Angel's Gift".
When it comes to bringing happiness, there is absolutely no place that can surpass it!"

I got this recommendation from several local Mondstadt people who were traveling with me.

I'm sure the happy expressions they showed when they mentioned that place were not fake.

Full of anticipation, Ying and Paimeng went to this well-received dining spot according to the location provided by the others.

"——Huh?! Isn't this a pub?! Is this what those guys meant by "being able to bring happiness to people"? "

It took a lot of effort to find the right place.
Paimon, who was already starving and felt like he was about to faint from hunger, suddenly felt cheated.

".Well. Considering the smell of alcohol I just smelled on them, I think this result should be expected."

Looking at Paimon who seemed a little discouraged,
Ying shook her head. Thinking about the number of drunkards she saw when she first came to Mondstadt, she didn't feel surprised.

"My stomach is almost bursting with hunger. I should have saved some space for this feast."

Feeling extremely regretful for his behavior in the morning, Paimon vowed to do a good job of identifying drunks the next time he questioned someone.

But after all, it's already here.
According to those guys, there should be some food here.
Although it was a little different from what I initially expected,
But a certain white-haired ball, who was starving, sighed and decided to go in with Ying to take a look.

"squeak--"

But just as they arrived at the door of the tavern, before Ying stretched out her hand to push the door,
The brown wooden door was opened from the inside.
The blond young man in black who was about to leave saw the familiar amber eyes of the girl in front of him.
Because of a sudden sense of déjà vu, the initial action inexplicably came to a standstill.
