Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

Su Feng said this with a slightly teasing tone, and Qin nodded seriously in response.

"Lord Su Feng, you can rest assured on this point. The Knights of Favonius will never let the people of the Wind God and Mondstadt down!"

Qin made a solemn promise, and Su Feng nodded slightly after hearing this.

"I imagine you have a lot to do next, so I won't bother you any longer—just let me know if you need any help."

After uttering those words, Su Feng transformed into a gentle breeze and vanished from the Knights of Favonius's encampment—he was still hoping to return to Angel's Gift for another drink.

"Whoo~"

Su Feng's sudden disappearance startled Qin for a moment, but she quickly returned to her seat.

"Kaiya, what do you think we'll face next?"

Qin did not doubt what Su Feng said—but the amount of information Su Feng had just revealed was so overwhelming that Qin felt she couldn't process it all.

"I never expected to receive so much information... Commander Qin, can I resign now?"

If at first Kaiya was somewhat looking for entertainment, he now realizes that not all entertainment is worth watching.

Now that he's heard this information, he definitely can't escape.

"Obviously not! Whether for the sake of the Knights or for Mondstadt, you probably won't have many vacation days for a while!"

"Stay with me while I work overtime! We have a lot of things to arrange right now!"

Qin decisively rejected Kaiya's idea of ​​deserting the mission and also told the guy that for quite some time to come, he probably wouldn't be able to live the kind of life he used to have, where he would do a little work and then sneak out to drink and slack off.

Even though she was prepared, Kaiya still felt a deep sadness upon hearing this.

Why did I have to be so impulsive in the first place?!

In Chapter 8, you can always run into Wendy in some places.

What kind of life Kaiya would lead in the coming period was not Su Feng's concern. Having already delivered the necessary warnings to the Knights of Favonius, he decisively chose to return to the Gift of the Angels.

"Lord Diluc, give me a drink... What are you still doing here?"

Su Feng, who had just entered, was about to order a drink when he looked up and saw Venti shamelessly pestering Diluc for a drink—this guy had even tried to sell himself to the angels as a resident bard in exchange for a drink!

However, no matter how much Venti pleaded, Diluc was not going to agree—Angel's Gift already had a resident bard, and although Venti's poetry was indeed very good, Diluc felt that adding him would make Angel's Gift have too many 'singers'.

Moreover, Wendy appeared out of nowhere, so Diluc instinctively became wary of him.

“Master Diluc, give this guy a glass of dandelion liqueur, and put it on my tab.”

Although Su Feng disliked his shameless boss who was planning to sell himself for alcohol, the other party was still his boss after all. If Wendy continued to embarrass himself like this, he would lose face along with her.

So Su Feng decisively chose to shut the drunkard up with a cup of dandelion wine first.

"Oh? You know each other?"

Diluc, who was surprised that Su Feng would pay for Wendy's bill, raised an eyebrow and asked coldly.

“Indeed, I know this guy. You can rest assured about him; he poses no threat to Mondstadt.”

"What's more, just look at him...!"

Su Feng glanced sideways, expressing his disdain, while simultaneously vouching for Wendy on Diluc's side.

Diluc is Mondstadt's Night Elf hero, and he will not let go of any existence that may pose a threat to Mondstadt.

"..."

"I will verify this with my own eyes."

After pausing for a moment, Diluc casually poured a glass of dandelion wine and placed it in front of Wendy. Looking into Su Feng's emerald green eyes, he said earnestly.

"That doesn't matter. If you don't like this guy, you can tie him up and hang him upside down on the wind god statue."

"This is a good opportunity for him to repent properly to the wind god Barbatos!"

Su Feng didn't care about the implied meaning in Diluc's words; on the contrary, this guy was prepared to stir things up.

If Wendy were actually hung on the statue of Anemo, he would definitely be the first to rush over, take a picture, and loudly laugh at the person who did it!

"Hey! This is just too much!"

"Given our relationship, shouldn't you save me?"

"And why should I repent!"

"I don't think I did anything wrong."

Wendy, who had just been beaming with joy at hearing that Su Feng had allowed her a bottle of wine, protested again.

Although he could be considered quite shameless even in his earthly rule, being made to reflect on his actions by believers by being hung upside down in front of their idols was still beyond his tolerance limit.

Of course, perhaps more importantly, a mere cup of dandelion wine wasn't enough to make him lose face so badly.

"shut up!"

"Can't even a drink shut you up?"

However, Su Feng was quite dismissive of Wendy's protest. He shoved a wine glass directly into the man's mouth, silencing him completely.

It has to be said that Su Feng's method was quite effective. Knowing that it wouldn't be easy for Wendy to get a drink now, she almost frantically caught the glass that Su Feng shoved at her, afraid that she would accidentally spill it.

Having temporarily dealt with the drunkard, Su Feng then turned his attention back to Diluc.

"Look, this drunkard is so easy to deal with. There's absolutely no need to worry about what trouble this despicable guy might cause!"

Su Feng continued to try to lower Diluc's guard, but unfortunately, Diluc, as a hero of the night, was not so easily trusted by others.

Moreover, to Diluc, Su Feng himself was a strange guy who suddenly appeared. If he hadn't been so timid and hadn't done anything that seemed inappropriate, Diluc might have already attacked him first.

"I will check that myself."

Diluc coldly uttered these words while wiping the wine glasses.

"..."

Su Feng was helpless against Diluc's blatant distrust. In the end, he could only glare fiercely at Venti, who had just finished his dandelion wine and was eagerly wanting a refill.

If this guy weren't so unreliable, he would have been subjected to repeated investigations by the people of Mondstadt.

I think we should switch to a different wind god!

Thinking about this, Su Feng's eyes gradually turned dangerous.

However, matters of subversion can be put aside for now; there are still some more important things to ask this drunkard.

"You should drink less alcohol. If I remember correctly, your old friend seems to be returning to Mondstadt soon? Have you made the arrangements?"

Although it was in public, Su Feng still openly discussed things with Wendy using slightly veiled language.

There are actually two so-called old friends—Dvalin and the Traveler. Although Su Feng did not explicitly name them, Wendy naturally knew who Su Feng was referring to.

"Hey!"

However, when faced with Su Feng's question, Wendy just tilted his head and chuckled. His unreliable behavior almost caused Su Feng's blood vessels to rupture!

"You expect me to handle this for you? Can't you do something productive?"

Even though he already knew that Wendy wasn't always reliable, Su Feng still couldn't take it when he was being tortured like this for the first time. If it weren't inappropriate to fight him in Mondstadt, he would have loved to create a massive tornado and blow this shameless guy straight to the sky!

"Hmph, don't blame me for not warning you. I might be able to handle other things, but I can't heal a broken heart. You still won't be able to escape!"

Su Feng might be able to handle the Traveler and Dvalin, but the lady who came to ask for the Heart of God with a mixture of contempt and responsibility was not someone Su Feng could deal with!

When the topic turned to the lady, Wendy, who had been seemingly carefree, paused in his hand holding the wine glass. After a long silence, he tilted his head back and poured the wine down his lips again—even though there was hardly any wine left in the glass.

"I will handle this personally afterward."

Wendy tossed her empty glass onto the bar, replying listlessly.

Su Feng didn't say anything about it, but left behind a single sentence.

"You should drink less alcohol, it's not always that good, is it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Feng himself disappeared silently from the angel's gift, leaving Wendy alone, looking sadly at the empty wine glass in front of her.

Chapter Nine: The Corrupted Dragons and the Abyss Order

Su Feng and Wendy weren't actually very close.

After all, Wendy initially saw him as a threat to Mondstadt, and the two have only met a few times and spent a short time together so far.

Regardless of what Venti had planned to do before, he did indeed grant him the power of the Anemo Familiar, and he did indeed provide him with a layer of protection in this world.

This is undoubtedly a debt of gratitude.

Therefore, Su Feng wouldn't mind helping Wendy with a small favor if he could keep things under control.

Just like now.

The raging winds came from all directions, like an endless wall of wind stretching from the ground to the sky.

This vast and powerful wind wall blocked the prying eyes of the mortal world, and almost no one could access the ruins behind the wind wall without the owner's permission.

This is the former Mondstadt, now the ruins of the Wind Dragon, and also the resting place of Dvalin, the former servant of the Aeolus.

However, now all that can be heard from behind this wall of wind are painful sighs and wails.

Dvalin, the Dragon of the East Wind and a former servant of the Wind God, is suffering from the corrosive effects of Dullin's poisonous blood and the torment of being worn down.

The allure from the abyss that lingered in his ears was an inescapable nightmare.

"Poor dragon!"

"Dulin's blood still torments your body, and the power of the abyss has seeped into your very bones!"

"You know how the cold and merciless heavens deal with lives tainted by the abyss, especially one like you that is a dragon!"

"The mortals of Mondstadt have utterly abandoned you. The wind god, a lackey of the heavens, will kill you. There is no going back!"

"Come, accompany us to serve your true master. Together we will unleash a raging tide to drown that cold throne in the heavens. Isn't this the wish that you dragons should have?"

A water abyss mage is constantly tempting the Dvalin, trying to drag the former king of the sky into the endless abyss.

The Abyss Order needs more power to overthrow the throne of the High Heavens, and Dvalin, tormented by Durin's poisonous blood, is undoubtedly the best choice at this stage.

"Roar!"
