Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

Su Feng couldn't help but mutter some complaints that might get him punched.

"I think women like that are probably rare in all of Teyvat, and if you want to fall in love, there are plenty of good girls in Mondstadt. As a bard, winning the hearts of girls should be a very simple matter for you, right?"

As soon as Su Feng finished speaking, a somewhat playful voice came from the shadows beside him.

Soon, Kaiya, wearing an eye patch, came out and looked at Su Feng, who still had a hint of helplessness on his face, with a grin.

"Let's forget about it. You know, the wind is never free, so I'd better not harass the girls of Mondstadt."

Su Feng wasn't too surprised by Kaiya's sudden appearance.

Regardless of whether they are followers of the wind god, it is not difficult for him to sense the people who are close to him.

He had already spotted the other party's presence when Kaiya got close, and he had even spotted more than just Kaiya at the same time.

"So I guess I can't be considered a dangerous person anymore? If that's the case, there's no need to keep watching me, right?"

Ignoring Kaiya who had come out, Su Feng looked up at the rooftop next to him, and then a woman dressed in a nun's habit with unusually pale skin appeared on the rooftop he was looking at.

"If I could, I certainly wouldn't want to keep watching you; working overtime is exhausting."

"But the work must be done."

The woman named Rosalia said this in a voice so flat it was almost a flat line, to which Su Feng could only look on with a helpless expression.

"Even I am like that?"

“That’s only natural, after all… you’re a nobody who suddenly appeared in Mondstadt!”

"Never mind... I'm leaving now!"

"But remember, I have my own judgment, and I'll be watching you closely until I approve of you!"

Rosalia seemed to have lost interest in Su Feng. She turned around and prepared to leave, but before leaving, she still left a cold threat—it seemed that even knowing Su Feng's identity as a member of the Wind God's Familiar, she still had no intention of letting him go.

But that's probably normal, since Rosalia, though a nun, is definitely not a normal nun.

"Phew~ This colleague from the Church of the West Wind is really difficult to deal with!"

The first person to breathe a sigh of relief after Rosalia left was not Su Feng, the suspected suspect, but Kaia, who had somehow appeared next to Su Feng. Su Feng even suspected that if they weren't so unfamiliar with each other, Kaia would have already tried to put her arm around him.

"Honestly, if she and your sworn brother hadn't taken over a significant portion of the work, would you be living such a comfortable life now?"

Su Feng couldn't do anything about Rosalia, but that didn't stop him from showing his disdain for Kaeya.

Kaeya may seem unreliable, and he is indeed unreliable at times. At least he does delegate a significant portion of his work to Rosalia and Diluc. Otherwise, how would he have time to hang out in the tavern?

"Hehe, as Li Yue would say, isn't this what they call 'the capable should do more'?"

Kaiya didn't take Su Feng's disdain to heart. After all, he had indeed done it, so it was only natural that he was being looked down upon by the theoretical boss's boss.

"I really don't know what sins these few hardworking and poor souls in Mondstadt committed to have run into a bunch of scoundrels like you!"

Su Feng couldn't help but complain about Kaeya, or rather, he couldn't help but complain about the vast majority of people in Mondstadt.

The main problem is that the people in Mondstadt are often too unreliable. If it weren't for a few people always taking on the majority of the tasks, Mondstadt might have been completely wiped out from this land long ago because it was too 'free'.

"Let's not talk about that now. Let's go find Captain Jean first. After all, she needs to know about both the Fatui and the Wind God's Familiars."

"This is a matter of life and death for Mondstadt, I don't think you'll refuse me, will you?"

Faced with Su Feng's complaints, Kaiya decisively chose to change the subject, to which Su Feng could only nod helplessly.

"Okay, let's go."

Su Feng never expected that his identity would be exposed as soon as he returned to Mondstadt. He is now beginning to doubt whether accepting the identity of the Wind God's familiar was a good thing.

Well, given Mondstadt's current situation, he's probably going to be quite busy from now on!

......

"Commander Qin, I need to speak with you about something!"

Although Kaeya is quite good at slacking off, he can be somewhat reliable when it comes to serious matters.

At least he did bring Su Feng to Jean, the current acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, very quickly.

"Kaiya, is there anything I can help you with? I have a lot of official business to attend to."

Even as she spoke, Qin, sitting upright behind her desk, did not stop what she was doing; she still had many things to deal with.

"It's about the Fatui and the Wind God's Familia~"

Then, with just one sentence, Kaeya made Jean, who looked slightly tired, stop what she was doing and stare wide-eyed at Kaeya, who was leaning against the door frame, in disbelief.

"The Wind God's retinue?"

"Kaiya, do you know what you're saying?"

The sound of the harp was filled with disbelief. Both the wind god Barbatos and his familiars had not appeared before the Mondstadt people for a long time, but now Kaeya suddenly said that he had discovered the wind god's familiars and even made them involved with the Fatui.

This is no joke.

"Commander Qin, I would never joke about something like this."

Kaiya watched with great interest as Jean's expression turned incredulous—Jean, who was usually calm and serious, would never show such an expression, which he found quite amusing.

"Whoo~"

After confirming that Kaeya wasn't joking, Jean took a deep breath to calm herself down before asking in a slightly trembling voice.

"In the end what happened?"

Since this involves foreign missions and deities, she must understand the matter thoroughly.

Jean knew very well that the weakened Mondstadt was really not going to withstand any more damage.

"Regarding this, I have brought that relative over. You can ask him directly."

As Kaiya said this, she slightly stepped aside to open the door, and then Su Feng appeared in front of the dumbfounded Jean.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lion Fang Knight, who is still in his immature stage."

Chapter Seven: This Surprise Is a Little Too Much

"Um... Hello, are you a member of the Wind God's retinue?"

Jean certainly didn't think anyone would dare to impersonate a god's familiar—after all, Teyvat is a world where gods truly exist, and even though Barbatos, the god of wind, hasn't appeared in Mondstadt for a very long time, it's still impossible for anyone to impersonate his familiar.

"Just call me Su Feng. As for my status as a member of the Wind God's family... even though that guy just gave me the Wind God's divine power, I am indeed a member of the Wind God's family now, and there's no way to refute that."

"However, I hope that Commander Qin will not make this public. I still want to live a peaceful life!"

Su Feng stated his thoughts very frankly.

Barbatos wanted to slack off, but Su Feng didn't want to be used as free labor and tied to Mondstadt to work himself to the bone—after all, there aren't many workaholics like Jean who seem to never need to rest.

Accustomed to a leisurely life, Su Feng felt he couldn't withstand this level of torment.

"..."

Qin, who was just about to say something, was completely stunned by Su Feng's string of words. It took her a while to come back to her senses, and then she looked at Su Feng with a slightly conflicted expression.

"Mr. Su Feng, please tell me why Lord Feng Shen would..."

Despite some hesitation, Qin finally asked the question that concerned her most.

It's not a big problem for a god to have an extra member. After all, it's always the god's own business to like a particular member, and mortals have no right to interfere with the god's choice. But why would the Wind God choose Su Feng as his member at this time?

In any case, Barbatos, the god of wind, was not a particularly active deity.

Even the Mondstadt people hadn't seen the Anemo Archon appear in a vision for who knows how many years.

However, as everyone knows, every time the wind god's divine power is displayed before mortals, it is inevitably accompanied by tremendous changes.

Or rather, unless Mondstadt faces a major problem or a crisis of collapse, it is highly unlikely that Barbatos, the wind god, would choose to manifest himself in public.

As an extension of the wind god, the wind god's only followers are also like this. The last time the East Wind Dragon Dvalin appeared was because the Demon Dragon Durin attacked.

Qin understood this, which is why she hoped to learn something from Su Feng.

After all, the sudden arrival of the Fatui envoys did indeed puzzle her, especially since the executor known as the Lady had personally appeared in Mondstadt—the last time the Fatui appeared in Mondstadt, it was not a good thing either.

Although the lady did indeed bear the title of Winter Diplomatic Envoy, Qin did not believe that this 'lady' with a rather eccentric reputation would behave as a proper diplomat!

"Chairman Jean, the winds of change and opportunity have once again swept through the world, but this time the storm will affect more than just Mondstadt."

"If possible, it's best to make more preparations, after all, no one can be sure how big the impact this will be."

"The only thing I can tell you is that this matter is not only related to the Fools, but a more terrible crisis is brewing."

"Perhaps this will be a more terrifying catastrophe than anything before."

Su Feng didn't intend to reveal too much to Qin, but it wouldn't hurt to offer some reminders to the current governor of Mondstadt.

Teyvat is bound to face a series of upheavals. No one knows whether Venti can save Mondstadt this time, and given Mondstadt's current state, it will probably only be a hindrance to Anemo.

Even though Venti himself symbolizes change and change, if he were to drag the entire Mondstadt into fighting a possible calamity, it would probably take all of his gods to save Mondstadt.

Although time is running out, it's good to let Mond make some preparations himself.

Even if the people of Mondstadt can't actually do much, it's the same.

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, Qin's expression changed drastically.

Although Su Feng didn't reveal much specific information, what he said so far was enough for Qin to know how serious the accident might be later.

As the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, Jean knows quite a few secrets that are unknown to others.

Jean knew that Teyvat was not safe—after all, the Knights of Favonius had launched expeditions more than once or twice—but she never expected that one day she would receive a warning from the Familiar of the Aeolus that a great calamity was about to befall her.

"I understand, thank you for your advice, I will make arrangements immediately!"

"Furthermore, if you need anything, please feel free to tell me. The Knights of Favonius will always stand behind you!"

Qin stood up from her chair, bowed respectfully to Su Feng, and expressed her gratitude.

She had no intention of finding out from Su Feng what kind of disaster Teyvat would face next.

Since Su Feng doesn't intend to talk about it now, she naturally assumes that this matter is beyond the knowledge of ordinary people at present.

"I will stay in Mondstadt until I deal with the crisis that may occur in the near future, but I can't do it on my own."

"Even though Mondstadt is already weakened, you can't give up!"
