Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

And that's also why she's appearing in front of Wendy now.

This was a war sparked by anger directed at others, and also the final act of rebellion of a heartbroken child against his former parents.

"Now, let us wage war, Wind God!"

"I'm betting my last breath, and all you have to give up is your godhood!"

"I've been waiting for this moment for so long!"

As soon as the words were spoken, flames instantly filled the sky!

Chapter Thirty-One: Unstable Factors Can Be Controlled in Advance

The scorching flames burned the earth, and the entire sky was dyed with a dim yellow light. Upon seeing this scene, Dvalin, who had just purified the toxins in his body with the help of Ying, also rushed over.

On Dvalin's back, Jean and Kaiya, who had been brought along along, looked even more anxious.

She never expected that Mondstadt would be hit by so many disasters recently, and she never imagined that she would have to go back to work without even a moment's rest.

The matter with Dulin was just resolved, so why is there commotion here again?

Mondl's luck has been terrible lately!

However, when they arrived at the place where the wind originated, all they saw was Su Feng and another boy dressed in Inazuma-style clothing standing under the Seven Gods statue, looking at the fiery tornado that connected to the sky not far away.

"Lord Su Feng, what exactly happened here, and who is this person...?"

Jean, who jumped directly off Dvalin's back, asked anxiously, but when she asked Su Feng, she almost subconsciously looked warily at the boy next to Su Feng.

She could keenly sense the deep-seated danger emanating from this seemingly unremarkable boy—this guy was definitely not an ordinary person, and might even be a stronger one than Qin!

You should know that although Jean is still young, she is still considered one of the strongest among mortals even in the entire Teyvat region. But now, an unknown 'boy' has suddenly appeared who makes her feel threatened?

This is not a good thing.

So, at Qin's prompting, the others who had come with him almost silently surrounded the boy.

"The sixth seat of the Fools' Executive Officers—[Skirmisher] Scaramucci, you can just call him Skirmisher."

Su Feng answered Qin's question rather casually, but Qin became much more wary after hearing that this young man was actually the sixth seat of the Fools' Clan's executive officer.

"I haven't received any news that any of the Fools' Enforcers other than the lady would be coming to Mondstadt. What brings you here, sir?"

The zither's sound became stern, and her hand even involuntarily touched the hilt of the sword.

The Executors of the Fools are no small fry. Theoretically, Executors who wield great power and hold extremely high positions are almost equivalent to the top leaders of Winter's Reign plus strategic weapons.

How could Jean possibly be at ease knowing that a character of this caliber had appeared silently in the heart of Mondstadt without prior notice and seemed to be preparing to do something?

"Hmph! Insignificant character, mere mortal. Watch your words!"

However, faced with Jean's questioning and hostility, the skirmisher glanced at the lion cub and then let out a sneer before turning his attention back to the fire tornado that was beginning to dissipate.

Even Qin couldn't help but feel a surge of anger after feeling the contempt from the skirmishers.

If she could, Jean would definitely draw her longsword and show this guy who dared to look down on knights that the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius was not someone to be trifled with—unfortunately, Jean couldn't do that right now.

Not only is her current condition somewhat poor due to long hours at work and the recent fierce battle, but Mondstadt cannot afford to directly confront Winter without fully understanding the situation.

Mondstadt is currently too weak, so weak that it cannot withstand any more setbacks. As the current leader of Mondstadt, Jean must be responsible for the entire kingdom, so she can only endure it for the time being.

Even though the Anemo Archon and his two familiars are still present in Mondstadt, Jean doesn't know their exact situation, and she can't possibly involve her own supernatural beings in a conflict between mortals.

But the words of the stragglers also made Qin more vigilant—from the stragglers' contempt, Qin clearly realized that the stragglers were very likely to be extraordinary beings who had transcended the boundaries of mortals, and such opponents absolutely needed to be taken seriously!

"Don't worry about this guy. I'll keep a close eye on him while he's in Mondstadt—no one can cause trouble in Mondstadt right now, and I'll step in if necessary."

The skirmishers might not care about or even mock Jean, but Su Feng wouldn't do that—after all, he would be staying in Mondstadt for a while, and he would probably need Jean's help then.

Moreover, even Su Feng had to admit that Qin was indeed very hardworking, so hardworking that he felt a little sorry for her. Therefore, Su Feng was somewhat tolerant and protective of Qin.

In this respect, Su Feng is much more reliable than Wendy. That wind god probably can't do much except cause trouble for Jean.

"Your Excellency, Wind God's Familiar, so what exactly is going on?"

After receiving Su Feng's affirmation, Qin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief—Su Feng had demonstrated his strength before, and Qin didn't think that the scattered soldiers' strength could compare to that of the demon dragon Dulin.

"A grudge from five hundred years ago—don't worry, Barbatos can handle this himself, and besides, it's not appropriate for us to get involved."

After this was mentioned, Su Feng couldn't help but purse his lips. To be honest, he couldn't quite understand the way Rosalyn and Wendy communicated.

In reality, neither side had any intention of having a proper fight.

Five hundred years ago, neither Wendy nor Rosalyn did anything wrong, and there was no enmity between them.

But now, the two sides have still started fighting!

However, considering that this matter was ultimately their own business, Su Feng really had no reason to interfere, so he just stood aside and watched the show, waiting to make fun of Wendy later.

They also managed to capture the dangerous element of stragglers.

That's right, the reason why Sanbing appeared here was not because he came on his own, but because Su Feng forcibly brought him here. After realizing that he was no match for Su Feng, Sanbing did not immediately turn against him.

Although he usually appears quite arrogant and has a terrible personality, the skirmisher isn't really a hopeless idiot. After seeing the fire tornado formed by Rosalind's power, he already guessed a lot of things, so he simply stayed with Su Feng and waited for the final result.

Well, actually, the reason this foul-mouthed guy is so easy to talk to is simply because he was scared by Su Feng.

This guy had tried to take advantage of Su Feng when he sent the Fate Star Fragment at Star-Picking Cliff, but in the blink of an eye, he was dragged directly from Star-Picking Cliff to Windrise Land!

More importantly, the stragglers had no idea how Su Feng had managed to do it.

That's why, after hearing Su Feng's admonition to "stay here and wait for the results," the hot-tempered stragglers actually held back.

Since they couldn't win, they had no choice but to back down, as the scattered soldiers didn't want to return to the Source Sea with Rosalin for the time being.

Fortunately, Rosalyn and Wendy didn't keep everyone waiting for too long.

The fiery tornado that had enveloped the two of them dissipated at a considerable speed, and the situation inside the tornado gradually became clear to everyone.

Then everyone saw Rosalind, her hand gleaming with a pale white light, pierce through Wendy's chest after the tornado dissipated.

When Rosalyn, who was already at the end of her life, slowly withdrew her hand, what came out was not terrifying blood, but an exquisite chess piece that shimmered with a blue light.

Chapter Thirty-Two: Flowers Growing from the Ashes

"bass!"

Upon seeing this, Qin almost instinctively drew her weapon, and seeing Qin's action, the others also immediately prepared to attack.

However, at that moment, Su Feng suddenly raised his hand to stop their attack.

"Your Excellency, a member of the Wind God's Familia, this..."

Completely confused about what was going on, the Mondstadt members looked at Su Feng with some bewilderment, hoping to learn from him what had happened.

"Don't worry, that drunkard is fine."

Su Feng's voice was filled with indifference. He knew very well that the so-called Heart of God was not that important to the Seven Gods, and was even a burden to some extent.

It's worth noting that Ishtar was once one of the original four Kage, and Venti can be considered a remnant of the four Kage.

However, this noble birth was the most solid shackle for Wendy.

The Heart of God was another solid shackle that Sky Isle had given him. Now that he finally had a chance to remove this shackle, Wendy was overjoyed and would never stop it.

Therefore, the moment Rosalind stepped into Mondstadt, she was bound to take Wendy's Heart of God away—this stemmed from a higher level of understanding and tacit agreement.

However, this tacit understanding between the gods has never been known to mortals, which is why the knights of Mondstadt looked at Su Feng with puzzlement.

"You don't need to know too many secrets, just know that everything has already been decided."

Su Feng didn't explain too much to everyone, after all, some things are taboo even for the gods, and knowing too much is never a good thing for mortals.

"..."

Upon hearing this, both the Mondstadt members led by Jean and the skirmishers standing to the side with subtle expressions involuntarily frowned.

Although Su Feng's words were quite cryptic, there were practically no fools present, so with a little thought, many things could be deduced.

Especially the stragglers, who knew the most among everyone present, so he subconsciously connected it to the fact that the Winter Queen's collection of the Heart of God probably already had the tacit approval of the gods. If that's the case...

Fortunately, although the stragglers were quite arrogant, they were not entirely brainless, so they did not show any unusual behavior on the surface.

While Su Feng was comforting everyone, Rosalind on the other side finally managed to completely pull the Heart of the Wind God out of Wendy's body.

The witch, whose body had already shattered amidst the dim flames, looked at the exquisite and alluring chess piece in her hand with an extremely complex expression.

"Ha, is this... the Heart of God?"

Rosalyn's murmurs reached everyone's ears, and her slightly bitter laughter made everyone feel the complex emotions in the witch's heart.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, noble and loving, this is the last thing I can do for you."

"I'm going to pursue my last... longing."

Holding the Heart of God, Rosalyn spoke her final words in a low voice, and as her voice faded, the last Fire Moth struggled to emerge from her hand.

Then, the moth, symbolizing Rosalind's last bit of strength, grasped the Heart of God, a treasure of the mortal world, and with difficulty, flew into the sky with the help of a wisp of icy blue divine power.

Rosalind, who was left behind, turned to ashes after using her last bit of strength, and then vanished completely in the breeze.

In the end, nothing was left except for the Cecilia flower that seemed to have miraculously sprung from the ground.

What a fragile yet pure white flower it is! Amidst the scorching embers and charred earth, in the air still warm from the embers, this newly sprouted flower stretches out its branches and leaves, then proudly and contentedly displays its beauty to this cruel world without reservation.

"..."

"Tch, what an annoying woman, still so wary even at the very end?"

"But... he got what he wanted, that guy is really lucky!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the stragglers uttered these words with a mixture of disdain and envy: "The relationship between the Fatui's executives isn't very good. Although they all work under the Ice Queen for their ultimate ideal, it's mostly just talk. Apart from a few exceptions, the other executives each have their own ideas and goals."

The stragglers and the PhDs are almost representative examples of this.

Although Rosalind, as a lady, was not a native of Winter, she was actually quite loyal to the Winter Queen, or rather, she was quite loyal to the ideals proposed by the Winter Queen. It was precisely because of this that, although for various reasons, the lady who recalled her past in Mondstadt chose to walk towards her destined death, in the end she still chose to give the last harvest to the Queen who once loved everything in the safest way.

Although the Ice God's divine power that escorted the Heart of God was not much, it was already a symbol in itself. Moreover, if anyone were to make a move against the Heart of God, the Ice God would surely notice, and the Empress would naturally have a way to retrieve it.

But what the stragglers were truly concerned about was not the heart of the wind god; what they truly cared about were the blooming flowers and the gentle breeze that lingered around them.

Although it was tiny and insignificant, he could sense from the flower the small consciousness of longing and joy at reunion.

Although she arrived a little late, the witch named Rosalyn finally reunited with the person she had lost five hundred years later.
