People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 372 Tevarin: According to my inherited memory, this should be the great King of the Nibelung!
"."

".Well done, my friend,
The first time he appeared, he destroyed the "Mondstadt enemy who colluded with the abyss".
In this way, your return this time will surely have a very good effect."

". Maybe toys and statues like yours will become hot-selling items in Mondstadt in the future."

In the cylindrical wind wall, the words from Barbatos came again,

Tevarin paused for a moment, realizing that his old friend was nearby. Full of questions, he flapped his wings, intending to fly above the clouds to find out what was going on.

——As for those wind walls that were originally used to block the outside world, they certainly cannot be removed in a short period of time.
Its current state is actually very unstable. If it weren't for the golden lines on its body helping it suppress the runaway elements,
Then perhaps just a flap of its wings could bring about an indiscriminate gale of destruction.

Similarly, in the hole left by its full-strength attack, the residual elements have reached a "lethal amount" for humans.
For a considerable period of time in the future, this place will not be suitable for any individual except wind elemental life to come.

After Tevarin left, above the ground.

When the Wind Dragon, who had made a strong presence, followed the vague connection to find his old friend and the source of his noble power,
The many Knights of Favonius below could no longer believe what they saw:

——Even though Captain Qin had already explained the history of the East Wind Dragon and its contributions to Mondstadt before they came,
But after seeing the huge figure that was so noble and synonymous with power,

They could not connect such a giant dragon with the term "Guardian of the Four Winds".

".This. The East Wind Dragon is so powerful that even the Second Executive Officer of the Fatui has no power to fight back."

"——But if I remember correctly, the Wind Dragon should be a follower of Lord Barbatos.

Even the followers can possess such power.
Could it be that we have misunderstood Lord Barbatos all these years?

——He is actually very different from the image in the legend. He is not a free singer who loves wine and poetry, but a powerful god known for his strength?! "

He rubbed his eyes and looked at the hole cut by the wind element inside the barrier in disbelief.
A Knight of the West Wind also wondered if the history of the God of Wind that had been passed down to this day had missed something.

"."

".Don't make any assumptions. The power of followers is not necessarily weaker than that of gods, just like Liyue's recent historical research on the "Lord of the Dragon King".
Perhaps the relationship between Lord Barbatos and the Wind Dragon is closer to that of friends."

He found that some of the Knights of Favonius around him had even begun to think that "the current history is not right and needs to be re-investigated".

The church staff who also participated in this operation shook their heads and explained in silence.

".Huh, let's put this discussion aside for now. I'll assign someone to sort out the historical issues afterwards. Just guessing won't solve any problems."

"Now that the Fatui's executive officers have done such terrible damage,

In the following period of time, you may have countless tasks to do.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I suggest you go back and rest for a while, and prepare for the busy days ahead."

He clapped his hands, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Qin recalled the twists and turns and unexpected events of the "Return to the Star" operation, and she felt exhausted from the bottom of her heart.

"."

After making the arrangements, the Knights of Favonius present returned to their teams.
Qin glanced at this unique "Wind Dragon Ruins" and those Abyss Mages who had taken advantage of the chaos and had long since run away.
He touched his chest and let out a long sigh, then slowly led the team back to Mondstadt, where no one knew what had happened.

".So, is that an elemental dragon?!!"

“——No way?! Why does he feel stronger than God?!”

". And the title "Wind Dragon". Just hearing it, I know there must be other "Water Dragons", "Fire Dragons", "Grass Dragons" and so on, right? !"

Because according to Albedo's analysis, the incident is most likely not over yet.
Finally, Fantuan carried the pot all the way from the snowy mountain to the East Wind Temple.

As a result, before I could get close, I found that the strange guy wearing a mask had been easily and completely eliminated.

Recalling the "elemental dragon" that scholar Lin Feng had mentioned but not elaborated on,
Paimon and Ying, who originally did not take it too seriously, were shocked by the power of these beings for a moment.

".The giant dragon I just saw. I felt a strong sense of oppression from it.
If I were to fight an enemy like this, I probably wouldn’t even be able to keep up with his movements.”

I tried my best to barely see the dragon's movement trajectory.

Ying referred to her current and past strength, and sadly discovered that this was another enemy that would be difficult to defeat even if she was in a state of complete victory.

".Hmm, but it seems that the elemental dragons we have heard of so far are not the kind that only know how to destroy. If we continue our journey, we should not have any conflicts with them."

He recalled the Rock Dragon, who he had never met in Liyue but was said to be a good friend of the Rock God, and the Wind Dragon, who had protected Mondstadt five hundred years ago and was also a good friend of the Wind God.

Paimon patted his chest, and the tension caused by the worry of being swallowed by these guys was relieved a lot.

"I hope so."

".Although I always feel that one day I will encounter a god who is not so easy to deal with."

"Also, elemental dragons are powerful beings that are no less powerful than gods. Based on my experience traveling to other worlds, beings that possess this kind of power but do not occupy a dominant position are unlikely to be the type that are benevolent to humans."

——Those who possess power must possess a position that matches their power, otherwise powerful individuals will naturally use this power to seize it themselves.

This simple truth is the rule that Ying and her brother summed up after traveling through many worlds.

But judging from the current situation in Teyvat, the power of the gods is praised by humans, but the elemental dragons that are comparable to or even surpass them have almost disappeared.
According to general rules, the most likely possibility is that the two were not originally in a cooperative relationship, and their current status is just a continuation of the past war.
"Hmm? Ying, what are you thinking about?"

Noticing that his companions seemed to be lost in thought, Paimon touched his head and asked in confusion.

After a moment, I found that the blonde girl beside me had come back to her senses.

The white-haired ball flying in the air finally expressed his latest ambition:

"——Paimon thought that if we had a chance in the future to persuade that majestic dragon to take us for a flight,

In the future, as long as the bad guys see Paimon sitting on the back of such a powerful guy, they will definitely not dare to mess with us two!"

"Well, I just wonder what the Wind Dragon would like to eat. Would it be happy if I could send a wind-attribute slime?"

fluorescent:"."

Gift? Hearing you say that, I suddenly have a bad feeling, as if this situation just happened not long ago.
His serious thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Paimon in front of him.
Ying, who was worried that the war between the elemental dragons would start again because she found that the power of the elemental dragons seemed to be no weaker than that of the gods, shook her head, thinking that she must be overthinking. At the same time, after leaving the sight of everyone, Tevarin flew upwards and followed the trajectory of the wind to search for his target.

Be able to realize that your current power does not belong entirely to you.

Instead, it survived with the help of a little grace from another great being.

It recalled the information Barbatos had revealed, combined with its own incomplete inherited memory,
I want to find out which "fellow race" has the ability to share power with others and complete the incomplete authority of the elemental dragon.

".Same race? But even with my current form, I can only reach a small part of the other party's power. Which elemental dragon has such extraordinary power?"

". And the dark power deep within this authority clearly belongs to the elemental dragon, but the other party has already perfectly controlled the abyss."

Multi-element. Can strengthen other elemental dragons. With its extraordinary power, it can also control the power of the abyss.
???

".Why does this description sound familiar? Who among the elemental dragons meets all of the above conditions?"

I vaguely feel that the final answer is about to come out.

But just as the title engraved in his blood was about to emerge from Tevarin's mind, a voice that he was once very familiar with interrupted all his thoughts:
"——Hey~ Tevarin, welcome back!"

".We haven't seen each other for five hundred years. I wonder if you miss my poems when you sleep~"

"."

".Barbatos, you should know that I only want to take you back to work when you are lazy.

Even if you ask me now, my answer will not change. "

He raised his head slightly, and looked at the green-clad bard in front of him whose image had not changed at all with his emerald eyes that were now tinged with gold.
Tevarin, who had not seen the other party for hundreds of years, said this response reflexively and fell silent for a while.

".Hehe, be happy. It was such a serious disaster, but nothing happened to us.
This level of luck ranks among the top even among the seven nations~"

Tevarin slowly floated forward in the air.
Wendy, who specially borrowed a golden harp from the West Wind Church, plucked the strings gently as she did when she first met it hundreds of years ago.

"Ding-dong-"

A short and crisp sound came from the sky harp.

The giant dragon that seemed to be omnipotent in front of everyone just now also stopped moving for a moment.
It's like going back to the time when it was first created and was seeking recognition everywhere because of loneliness.

Huh? Wait, lonely?
Just as the dragon of the east wind was immersed in memories and music, a word instantly pulled its consciousness back from its memories.
Thinking back to the time when I couldn't find anyone like myself and all I saw were humans,

Tevarin also looked at Wendy, who seemed to have experienced a lot, and asked the question that had been suppressed in his heart:
"——What on earth is going on with my current form?

Why did you ask me to make the battle scene more spectacular in front of humans?"

".I remember you promised me five hundred years ago that you would keep my story alive.
Why do I feel that humans today seem to have completely forgotten that period of history?"

I'm sure that if I'm only dealing with that one masked enemy, there's actually no need to activate this state.
Using such strength to deal with the opponent is an extreme waste of talent.

Rather than a battle, it's more like playing.

And considering the "entry lines" that Barbatos designed for himself,
Although he ultimately chose not to do it because it was too exaggerated, he simply demonstrated his own strength.

But after seeing the reactions of those humans, Tevarin could roughly guess why Barbatos asked him to do this:

——If it was right, its deeds might have been completely forgotten.

Not to mention the poems, statues, and believers that the other party used to seduce him.

Maybe ordinary people can't even remember their own existence.

"."

“The situation is actually very complicated.
If I could continue to help you write poetry, maybe I wouldn't need to make people remember me by appearing like this.
But for some reason, all I can share with you now are probably a few bottles of cider that have been buried for five hundred years."

Tevarin: "."

Hmm? I can only have two bottles of cider?
What on earth have you been doing for the past five hundred years?

You can't say that when I'm asleep, you're also sleeping in some corner, right?
So, the only people responsible for supporting Mondstadt during these five hundred years were the Knights of Favonius, who were composed of mortals.
Suddenly I felt that the situation outside might be completely different from what I imagined.
Not to mention any significant development, Mondstadt's current level may even regress a lot compared to 500 years ago.

And since Barbatos has done nothing for the past five hundred years, it is only natural that the people would not remember what happened back then.
"."

Feeling a little discouraged because the long-awaited statue and believers were not there,
This extremely huge wind dragon suddenly showed a bit of frustration that was inconsistent with its majestic appearance.

"Ahem, it's not like there's no chance to make amends.
Later I will take this opportunity to turn all your past deeds into poetry,
I will also find a way to build a stone statue for you at the West Wind Church."

"."

"——By the way, you must be curious about who shared the power with you.

Why don't you come with me to meet him now? My new friend knows several powerful elemental dragons!"

He noticed that Tevarin in front of him was a little depressed because he had broken his promise.
Although it was indeed caused by an unexpected situation, Wendy had to admit that it was her own problem.
Thinking of slightly diverting the attention of his old friend, he also turned the topic to Lin Feng.

".Identity? Isn't that obvious?"

Wendy:? ? ?
Contrary to Wendy's expectations, Tevarin seemed to have known the source of his power for a long time.
Before he could ask how Tevarin knew this,
This temporary low-profile version of the "Perfect Dragon" expressed its guess in an extremely serious and confident tone:
"——It can share power with me, and possesses a vast array of elemental powers. It can even harness the power of the abyss, which is extremely poisonous to ordinary creatures."

"——Looking at all the dragons, the only one that meets this condition is
There is only the leader of all elemental dragons, the sole ruler of the dragon race of the entire Teyvat continent, the "King of Dragons" King Nibelungen in my inherited memory. "

"."

As Tevarin expressed his guess with great confidence,

A certain "Dragon King" who was about to join in the fun also stopped his action with a frown on his face.
I always feel that a similar scene seemed to have happened in the desert not long ago.
