People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 424 Andrius returns!
"——Please help me, don't expose me! I spent a long time thinking about the types and quantities of these wines. I plan to store them as precious collections for hundreds of years!

We are best friends, so as a lifelong plea from me, Tevarin, please bring them to me~"

"."

As the distance got closer, the wind element emanating from the manuscript was constantly conveying the message left by the owner.
After receiving the words left by Barbatos, Tevarin, who was flying high in the sky, paused his wings and understood the cause and effect of the incident with some helplessness.

"."

There was a moment of silence, not knowing what to think.

I always feel a little sorry for the two travelers below who were kept in the dark and went through a lot of twists and turns to meet Barbatos.

But he knew very well how poor his old friend was. He had been busy for so long before he finally got the good wine.
If I tell him, that guy might pester me with a pitiful look every day, just like he did a long time ago.
He sighed deeply, turned his head and shed a feather from his wing.
After Tevarin put away the wine on the table and sent his own compensation, he finally spoke to the two travelers below as he had said in the message:
"I have received your sincerity. I will convey your wish to meet Barbatos truthfully."

"The God of Wind will offer blessings to all participants at the end of the Wind Flower Festival. Since these tributes have been accepted, you two can prepare the questions you want to ask on that day."

It flapped its wings and circled twice in the sky.

From the perspective of Ying and Paimon on the ground, the huge body of the Wind Dragon blocked the sunlight above the clouds just by staying there.

But it is different from the oppression brought by powerful force.
When communicating with him, Ying was surprised to find that this person seemed to be very easy to talk to.

"."

Seeing that the goal of meeting the gods will soon be achieved at the Wind Flower Festival,

Even before coming here, I had never expected that the summoning ritual given by Wendy would be so effective.
Faced with this real effect, Ying and Paimon even felt ashamed for their previous doubts about Wendy's "wine summoning method".
I plan to do as he said after I go back and put a few more bottles of good wine in front of the Fengqidi statue every day.
"Om-"

The feathers fluttered, and the extremely powerful wind element fluctuations called back the blonde girl's attention.

Soon, I noticed that there seemed to be a straight and sharp object falling from the sky. I didn't know if it could be called a "feather".

Feeling the elemental power contained in it, Paimon on the side was also somewhat puzzled by the Wind Dragon's actions:

"This thing as big as a tree is a feather? But why?"

I didn’t care about the two people below.

I was worried that if I stayed here any longer, I might just give up cooperating with Barbatos, this guy who didn't do his job.
Tevarin controlled the feather, which was several meters in size, to slowly shrink, and before leaving, he left a message to explain:
"——The manuscript bears the scent of an old friend of mine. This is a gift in return to you."

"Take it. Even though it's just a feather, it still contains some wind power.
If you know how to use the material, it should become a good weapon, and perhaps it will be helpful in your future adventures."

"."

The sound faded away, and the dragon's figure gradually moved away.

Amidst the snow-white, there was only a blue-green feather with a golden pattern on the edge floating quietly in front of Ying.

".This feels so fast. Are all elemental dragons so fast?"

Before I could react, the summoning ceremony was over.

A certain white-haired ball recalled what had just happened and blinked in disbelief.

"And if I heard correctly, the Wind Dragon seemed to say that it would make Barbatos respond to us?

Hmm. Although they are nominally dependents, I feel that the relationship between the two of them doesn’t seem to be exactly like that between Xiao and the God of Rock.”

I found that what Tevarin meant just now was that Barbatos would be caught by it even if he didn't want to come.

Because there was no respect for the gods that the Liyue immortals had in their words, Paimon was a little confused about the relationship between Mondstadt's followers and the gods.

".I'm not sure either. I always feel that the personalities of the gods here seem to be quite special, and the way they interact with their followers is also different from that in Liyue. But no matter what, at least the result is good."

He shook his head, looked at the feather floating in front of him, and gently grasped the feather handle in front of him.
Ying discovered that although this thing was called a "feather", its toughness was even higher than the weapon in his own hand. Just by waving it lightly, it felt as if it was sharp enough to cut through the air.

Looking back on the whole process, I can't understand why I got something like this just by serving a table of wine.
While being amazed at the power of the elemental dragon, Ying also felt that something was wrong with this journey to see the God of Wind.
"."

"Huh, forget it, let's go back."

"We have almost finished exploring Mondstadt. After the Windblume Festival is over, we will decide where to go next."

I can't figure out what the problem is.
Looking at Paimon who seemed a little frozen beside him, Ying finally shook her head slightly and decided to focus on the journey ahead.

As the group of travelers prepares to return to Mondstadt to relax a little during the festival.

To the west of Qingquan Town, the Wolf Ridge guarded by the North Wind Wolf is undergoing a huge change that even ordinary wild beasts can perceive.

"Boom——!!"

A sky-high ice wind tornado slowly spread outward from the center of the Wolf Territory, followed by a thunderous roar and solid ice covering the earth.

"click click"

The moisture in the air and the ground quickly condensed, turning into frost that spread autonomously like life.

In this rapidly spreading frozen land, many creatures, including wolves, were frozen without any resistance.

But perhaps it was a gift from the master of power, the frost at this moment was not meant to bring destruction,

In the unmelting ice, the followers who once belonged to the "King of the North Wind" fell asleep one after another, and gradually regained their former form in the ice and snow.

Outside the forest,

Watching the changes taking place in the "King's" residence, a silver-haired young man in a hooded robe looked anxious and tried his best to move through the woods at the fastest speed.

The young man was carrying a big sword on his back and was agile. Just looking at his posture as he walked forward, one would even think he was an experienced beast that had lived in the mountains for a long time.

"."

Without saying a word, he pushed forward with all his might, with no other thoughts in his mind except saving his family.

Lei Ze had only gone out to practice with his "master" for a while, and he could never have imagined that such a disaster would happen in his "home".

"Ouch——"

!!!

After returning to Benlangling, I heard the voices of my tribesmen for the first time.
Lei Ze, who had been orphaned since childhood and was picked up and raised by the lord of this place, and already considered himself a member of the wolf pack, activated his own thunder-attributed divine eye and headed for the source of the sound at the fastest speed in his life.

However, the enemy invasion was completely different from what he had expected. The scene he saw after arriving made him pause and he subconsciously shouted:

"——Wait! That ice! Don't get close! It's dangerous!!"

"." The gray wolf, who was about to step into the ice, also saw this special tribesman and paused, and comforted him with a low and slow cry.

But after all, what is happening now is a bit complicated, and it is impossible to explain it clearly in a short time just by shouting.

After sending out the "no danger" signal, it chose to be frozen like other wolves because of the call of its blood.

"Lupica, why?"

Unable to understand what he saw, Lei Ze stopped walking and looked at his master who had come with him behind him with some confusion.

"Such a large-scale ice elemental influence, and the wolves' abnormal behavior, this shouldn't happen."

"But who is it? No one in Mondstadt would dare to take the risk of doing such a thing."

Unlocked the lightning elemental power around him for levitation,

Lisa landed and looked at what was happening in front of her. For a moment, she could only think of some extremely bad possibilities that were unacceptable to Lei Ze.

Lisa stroked Lei Ze's hair and sighed in her heart. She spoke in a serious tone to comfort him:

"Little Wolf, don't be sad. Before you witness the final outcome, everything can still turn around."

".If that kind of thing really happened, then I promise to help you investigate the truth of everything."

He comforted Lei Ze, but his heart sank.
As Lei Ze's "master", she naturally knew who this territory belonged to.

At this moment, looking at the obviously unusual movement of the ice and wind elements, there was only one answer left in her mind:
——That was the aftermath of the Demon God’s complete fall, a disaster that brought terror to countless countries in ancient times.

But after all, the Demon War is long gone, and Mond can't think of anyone who has the motivation or ability to do such a thing.

Considering that such a result is too cruel for Lei Ze who has already lost his family once,

Although reason told Lisa that this was the only possibility, she still did not intend to make a judgment too early.

".Let's go and meet the lord of this place."

"If all this happened as expected, then the Wolf of the North Wind must know all the reasons behind it."

With the last glimmer of hope, Lisa pulled up Lei Ze beside her.

Thinking of the wolves' initiative to walk into the ice just now, even though she was once a scholar who advocated rationality, she hoped that at least this time a miracle would happen.

In the center of Wolf Ridge, there is a circular platform where Andrius lives.

Standing above the trial field, which has now become a world of ice and snow, as the "culprit" who caused the mutation, Lin Feng can of course sense the impact it has on the outside world.

But after all, the rules of the world are different.

Because the freezing of Teyvat's ice element is very special, there is almost no negative effect under intentional control, as long as it is thawed later,

Therefore, he was busy multitasking, extracting power from the earth veins and helping Andrius reshape his body, so he did not pay attention to these problems for the time being.

"Boom!!"

Extracting the power and authority that the demon god had once integrated into the earth veins inevitably caused significant changes to the environment of the entire Benlang Territory.

The only thing to be thankful for is that although most of Andrius's power has been re-extracted, with Wendy's maintenance, the climate here has not changed suddenly.

"."

After working with full concentration for a long time, the authority was finally extracted.

Knowing that the most troublesome part is over,
Lin Feng's mind moved, and he mobilized his own grass attribute power and some water element power as much as possible.

Use this almost completely pure life force to inject power into the ice ball in front, which is several times taller than the trial field and whose contents cannot be seen.

"Click——"

The power was excessive, and a tiny crack suddenly appeared on the top of the ice ball.

Then, like a chain reaction, spider-web-like cracks instantly covered the surface of the ice ball.

"."

He stopped and packaged up all the detailed data of his operation process and power flow, ready to share it with Albedo as agreed.

Lin Feng, who had simulated it countless times in his mind but was practicing it on the demon for the first time, was a little nervous, not knowing what the final result would be:
—Andrius's situation is unique.

A soul that is almost 100% intact, the power and authority recovered from the earth veins, and a physical image that is so clear that it cannot be more clear.

Because thousands of years ago, Andrius was not killed, but chose to integrate his power into the earth like Guoba.

The god here is a drunkard who only cares about having enough strength and is not very interested in devouring power.
Therefore, if he still cannot succeed in this situation where his soul and authority are all there, and even most of his power has been taken back,
To be on the safe side, he'd better not harm his own "demon fragment" for now.

"Boom——"

A large amount of ice crystals shattered and collapsed, hitting the ground like rocks sliding down from a mountain, creating sparkling crystal dust that was enough to block vision.

The dark clouds caused by the icy wind completely dissipated, and with them came the warm sun that had been blocked.

Facing Lin Feng's expectant gaze,

Just like a new life that had finally separated from the egg, a giant blue-and-white wolf that was several times larger than the previous one, with a solid body and shiny hair stood in the center of the venue.

The warm sunlight penetrated the clouds, coating the flying ice dust with a layer of brilliant golden light.

At this moment, Andrius had wings on his ribs and a strong body, and the aura he exuded undoubtedly showed that he was a complete and powerful demon god.

".Huh, it seems that it has been successful?"

"If I can succeed in one try, even if Xumi is a little more difficult, at least I can give it a try."

After observing for a while,

It's like I've been doing the exercises silently for a long time and finally figured out the answers.

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his body, feeling that all this time had not been in vain.

I looked at the white-haired boy and Lisa from a distance, making sure there was still a little time before they arrived.
Lin Feng also floated up from the edge of the platform, intending to talk to Andrius about his experience after resurrection.
