People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 380: Andrius: "Dragon of the East Wind" mentioned you, Your Majesty
The next day, on the southwest side of Mondstadt, there was a dense forest with few people.

Unlike the open plains in other areas of Mondstadt, this extremely primitive, rocky ecological area is full of traces left by wild beasts.

It's not just the wild boars and squirrels that roam the woods.
If you search carefully, you can occasionally see some extremely large slimes lurking among the weeds and dead leaves that have accumulated for who knows how many years under the trees.

"."

After going through the whole process from being full of energy to giving up yesterday, Wendy, who didn't want to go through it again in the short term, led Lin Feng to the area called "Benlang Ridge" with full energy early in the morning.

But for him, although the lords here were nominally his "dependents" just like Tevarin, and even had a special temple dedicated to them,
However, since he may have been asleep for nine hundred years in the past thousand years, and the two ethnic groups had an agreement not to interfere with each other, he actually had not set foot here in person for a long time.

Pausing briefly on the path at the entrance, Wendy looked at Lin Feng who was looking up at the sky thoughtfully.

He turned around and waved in front of his friend, using his gesture to draw his attention back:
“.This is your reaction right after arriving?

No way? Could it be that my friend has already noticed it in such a short time?"

"."

"If you are referring to the anomalies in the environment and ley lines here, then I have indeed discovered something."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng looked at Wendy beside him and said with some surprise:
"I originally thought that you just wanted to find a demon god with wind attribute authority to practice with me.
But now it seems that the environment here is not all maintained by you?"

——As soon as he arrived at this area, Lin Feng realized that the earth vein circulation here was different from that in the outside world.

It was as if a unique small loop had been artificially embedded in the entire Mondstadt loop, causing the environment here to be slightly different from the outside world.

If I have to say, overall it is very similar to the areas that were affected by the power of rice crust at that time.

"——Hehe, I can't hide it from my friend after all."

Scratching his head and smiling, Wendy selectively ignored the first half of Lin Feng's question about "laziness" and began to explain:

"——In fact, Andrius was once known as the "King of the North Wind". He was born with the power of ice element. At the beginning, the territory he ruled alone was completely covered with ice and snow, with no grass growing."

"My friend, you must be wondering why he is in a state of residual soul now even though he was not killed in the battle, right?"

"——In fact, the reason why the vegetation in the Wolf Territory is so lush and the beasts are so strong is because it returned the body and power that originally belonged to the Demon God to this land in the past.

Long before I changed the climate of Mondstadt, I used this most primitive method to create a suitable living space for its followers."

"After that, the power it returned to the earth flowed along the earth veins throughout Mondstadt, and also reduced a lot of resistance for my subsequent work.

If we really talk about the price paid for changing the environment, Andrius's sacrifice is much greater than mine."

He started talking about this history which was almost forgotten because it was too long ago.

Wendy also felt a little emotional about the old friend in the depths of Wolf Ridge who said "he could not coexist with humans" but silently devoted all his strength to them.

".Return power to the earth? No wonder I feel a sense of familiarity."

After listening to Wendy's explanation, Lin Feng finally realized why he felt that the land under his feet was somewhat similar to those places affected by Guoba at that time:

——Both of them actually used their own demonic powers as a price to quell the environmental disasters caused by the influence of the earth veins.

But Andrius chose to give up his body and most of his strength, retaining his complete memory and intelligence.
Guoba is more like an all-round average consumption, and eventually it becomes the mini version of the red panda that Xiangling met.

".Alas, it's a pity that no matter how I ask this guy, he always says that he "hates humans and can't bring happiness to humans."
Obviously, the Wolf Territory has always had a tradition of adopting abandoned babies and street children."

"Roar--"

Before Wendy could finish his complaint, a low, obviously unfriendly growl from a distance interrupted his prepared topic.

"Kacha kacha——"

The icy air instantly enveloped the originally lush forest, and the crisp sound of the grass and trees being frozen rapidly could be heard from the surrounding environment.
With the cold wind blowing in our faces and the ground covered with a layer of white frost like a snowy mountain,

Behind those icy blue eyes that were as majestic as solid ice,
A blue and white wolf with a cold body and wing-like limbs slowly appeared in front of the two.
After the lord's figure completely appeared, a voice as cold as ice and mixed with anger came:

"——Barbatus, I don't remember telling you to introduce me to the guests like you just did.

If you came here just to talk behind my back, then I think you can leave now."

——Although he was sleeping in the center of Wolf Ridge, Andrius's activities were never limited to that small trial field.

From a distance, he could sense the presence of Barbatos and another powerful aura.

Knowing that this practice of not concealing one's own presence is actually equivalent to knocking on the door among humans,

After all, without a body, one often needs to rely on sleep to restore one's strength.

Andrius was woken up and just wanted to see what was going on, but as soon as he regained consciousness, he heard Barbatos talking about him behind his back.

"."

"——Ahem, Andrius, listen to me, this is all a misunderstanding.

What I said just now was just praising you. If you don’t believe me, ask this friend! "

I also didn't expect that this time when I came to Benlang Territory, a guy who always sleeps in would wake up so quickly.

I was originally planning to tell Lin Feng the story of "North Wind Knight" and "North Wind Wolf King".

Seeing that Andrius had found her, Wendy had to sigh and give up her original plan.

"Friend? The one who attacked a few days ago?" After hearing what Wendy said, Andrius turned his head slightly.
With a much friendlier look, he looked at this person who had given him a sense of closeness from the beginning:
"——The riot caused by humans a few days ago almost affected the Wolf Ridge. Your actions to guide the stars also helped many residents here.
Although I don't know why you came here, this is not the place to discuss in detail.
Come with me, after all these years, I have a basic understanding of human hospitality."

Although the tone was impolite, Barbatos was willing to include Wolf Ridge as its territory for the survival of its tribe. The relationship between it and the other side was pretty good.

What's more, it can't see through the "friend" next to the other party at all.
Not to mention the general scope of strength, even the instinctive alertness after encountering a strong enemy did not react at all.

No matter how it felt, there was only a feeling of warmth that made its remaining soul feel close and as if there was no threat at all.

But even though it had long since severed contact with the outside world, and had no idea what this god, who had no impression of him before, had done,
But even if we only look at the incredible "sending back to the stars" a few days ago,
It can also clearly realize that its current feeling is not because the opponent is too weak. It is most likely because the opponent's strength has far exceeded the level it needs to be vigilant about, so it has an illusion.

A moment later, in the central area of ​​Benlang Territory, next to the circular trial field.

Under the huge rock, Andrius, who had been calm at first, heard Wendy reveal what they were going to do.
Because his emotions were too agitated, even his temporary body condensed with ice and wind elements almost became unstable for a moment.

? ? !

I sorted out the words that I could understand each sentence individually, but when put together, they made it hard to understand.
Andrius widened his ice-blue eyes and said in a somewhat unbelievable way:
".You mean, you plan to completely change the laws of the entire Mondstadt region's earth veins, and fundamentally eliminate the possibility of this place turning back into a land of ice and snow."

"——And, most importantly, is this person next to you really capable of performing this impossible operation?!"

"——Aren't you afraid of that person?"

"Not afraid."

Andrius had not yet finished his words.

The green-skinned drunkard in front of him blinked and spread his hands in a very bachelor-like manner, indicating that this was not a problem that the two of them should worry about:

——If I must say, at the beginning he might have been a little worried that justice would suddenly wake up and hold them accountable.
But seeing that Lin Feng was already rushing towards the level of the ancient king, "Tianli" and the other rulers were still nowhere to be seen.

If he was afraid of this and that, wouldn't it make him look even more timid than the always cautious old man? !

"This"

I totally don't understand why this old friend of mine, whom I have known for thousands of years, is so confident at this moment.
For a moment, Andrius even wondered if he had slept too long and had fallen into some strange dream.

"——Hey, we even told you such a big secret, Andrius, aren't you curious about where my confidence comes from?"

"——Hehe, once you have seen the miraculous qualities of my friend, I promise that even you will not think that there is anything in this continent that can stump him!"

With a smile on his face, he patted Lin Feng's shoulder.

Wendy was just like when she went to drink and asked Tevarin to help blow away the mountain thousands of years ago, with an unconditional trust emanating from her whole body.

Lin Feng: "."

I say, how did you guess that even if justice comes, I still have a plan B?
Or are you just like those black-hearted clients who don't care about the lives of workers and just issue tasks that are obviously impossible to complete?
I glanced at Xiaobai who was chasing a squirrel in the bushes nearby.
This "all-powerful" helper also sighed in his heart, thinking that a certain green-skinned drunkard was probably simply too lazy to think.

He shook his head and looked at Andrius in front of him.

Because it is difficult to find someone in the entire Teyvat who is proficient in both "ice" and "wind" elements like this person in front of him.

Although Wendy's words were a little strange, she still managed to complete the initial communication.
He was no longer just listening in, but stepped forward and put forward the negotiation conditions he had prepared from the beginning:

"——Although what I can do is also limited, it is not as exaggerated as Barbatos said.

But now that the plan has entered the formal implementation stage, we naturally have plans for various situations, so you don’t have to worry too much. "

".In fact, from the perspective of my position and the form of power I control, you can tentatively classify me as an "elemental dragon".

If I must say, there is indeed a small contradiction between me and the one in heaven."

"But no matter what the reason is, we came to Runlang Territory just to invite you to be our sparring partner for the next period of time.

In terms of form, it is actually very similar to the "Trial" of Benlangling for challengers from the outside world.
If you do not intend to go further into the plan, we will not allow the subsequent impact to have too much involvement with the Wolf Territory."

I realized that Andrius in front of me might really know nothing about the outside world in the past few years.
Lin Feng also explained his general position and purpose in the most concise way.

But just as he was about to tell Andrius about the small reward he had prepared for him,

The giant wolf in front of him bowed its head slightly, and responded to his somewhat surprised look:

"——I roughly know who you are. The "Dragon of the East Wind" passed by the Wolf Territory a few days ago.

If you are the one it is talking about, then changing the rules is indeed possible."

".I have given up the body that housed me, and the remaining soul will eventually dissipate into the world.

As time goes by, the power and blessings that I once integrated into the earth veins will inevitably be exhausted one day. "

"——If you promise that my people will not be implicated and that they will not be extinct if something unexpected happens,
So, in order to make sure that the ice and snow never return, I swear in the name of Lord North Wind that I am willing to provide a tiny bit of power for this purpose."

——Tevalin and it were active at a similar time, and they were both “Wind God’s followers”, so they must have known each other in the past.

After witnessing that perfect figure a few days ago,

Andrius had no doubt that the existence that could make the other party bow down to him had power and status that he could not imagine.

No matter how long the life of a demon god is, accidents are unavoidable. Barbatos and I will leave this land one day.

Now that it is far away from humans, the only ones left are the wolves that have followed it from the beginning to the end.

In order to prevent the entire Mond from returning to its former lifeless state one day in the future,
Since Barbatos, the ruler, chose to take a gamble, how could its remaining soul value life more than a ruler?
