Genshin Impact short video: The death sentence at the start terrifies Fou.

Wendy: "Haha, the wine here is too expensive. Jack still owes me money. He promised me rare and expensive wine as payment, remember?"

"I'll go find him to get that bottle of wine first, and we'll meet at the usual place later."

[Kaedehara Manyo: It seems he has finally let go of the past.]

[Scattered soldier: Pshaw, boring]

[Xingqiu: It's a pretty good ending. My old friend's soul returned to Mondstadt, and I started my life anew.]

[Heizo Kanoin: The video doesn't seem to be ending yet]

[Hu Tao: The system described the lives of important people, but isn't there an even bigger one among them?]

[Furina: The story of the Wind God, huh? @Firelight, Traveler, hurry up, I want to see it!]

[Ying: Why don't you tell the system to fast forward? I don't even know where the old spot is.]

[Barbara: Lord Barbatos, I...]

[Wendy: Just call me Wendy. Mondstadt is a free country. I hope you won't restrict me from drinking during the day anymore.]

[Barbara: Please focus on your work during the day!]

[Jack: Lord Wind God, you shouldn't mind that this precious wine is just apple wine, since it's the only kind of wine I have at home...]

[Paimon: The Broken Sword and the Wooden Shield are both divine artifacts, so why isn't Apple Brew a famous wine?]

Wendy: Paimon, have you been corrupted by the Traveler?

In the video.

The traveler, having wandered from the angel's gift, finally arrived at the statue in Mondstadt.

Wendy had been sitting in the palm of the statue for quite some time.

Paimon: "That was hard to find! Don't use such riddles next time! By the way, busker, did you get the wine?"

Our Wind God looked aggrieved. "I got it! Jack said it was some rare and precious wine, but it's just half a bottle of apple wine."

After a long silence, Wendy sighed, "Ah, I really miss it. The first time I came here to enjoy the scenery, I didn't look like this."

Ying: "Not like this? What do you mean?"

"About 2,600 years ago, before the mortal realm was divided among the seven gods, Old Mondstadt was surrounded by hurricanes stirred up by the tyrant, and even birds could not pass through."

Paimon: "Old Mondstadt? I remember now, it's the current Wind Dragon Ruins, right? You mentioned it before!"

"Yes, the tyrant of wind that once ruled that tower was Dekalapian, the 'Demon God of Tornadoes.' And I, back then, was merely a wisp of wind among a thousand, possessing neither divine status nor human form."

"Just a tiny elemental spirit in the wind, a wisp of wind that can bring small changes and hope."

Paimon scrutinized Wendy's face. "Just an elemental spirit? Not humanoid? Wendy, didn't you used to look like this?"

Wendy: "Well, my current appearance is actually borrowed from a friend, just like Mr. Stanley's."

[Qin: I never imagined there was such a past.]

[Hu Tao: Two thousand six hundred years ago?! Could it be that the Wind God has been playing the role of "Wendy" all these years?]

[Furina: That's why he was able to tell right away that Stanley had a problem, right?]

Wendy: Heh, maybe so.

In the video.

It's a scene from over two thousand years ago, and in the scene is a boy who looks remarkably like Wendy.

'The story I'm about to tell begins in Old Mondstadt, in that land ruled by a tyrant, where I met a young boy.'

The young man knew how to play the piano, searching for his own poetic inspiration.

'But he was born within the walls of the wind and has never seen the blue sky.'

Old Mondstadt was shrouded in a raging storm; the sky was obscured, and no one could leave.

The boy said, "I want to see birds soaring in the sky."

The boy's eyes were stubborn, and his pupils shone with a light.

But his voice was drowned out by the howling wind, for the tornado only collected the hymns, leaving no other sound.

'The true sky, the poetry and songs outside the cage—aren't these desires worth fighting for?'

In the picture, the boy reaches out his hand to a tiny wind sprite.

So the boy extended an invitation to me: Come with me—crush the tyrant, tear open the wind wall.

'When the youths raised the banner of rebellion, I too joined the war for freedom.'

In the scene, led by the bard, various groups responded and launched an attack on the tower.

Those who break free of their cages triumph, causing the divine throne to crumble, a thousand winds to rage, and all nations to tremble.

'In the smoke of battle, we witnessed the fall of a tyrant; in the ashes, we witnessed the collapse of a towering structure.'

'Thus began the new Mondstadt—'

In the scene, the tower collapses, the wind wall cracks, and the people have won.

However, it was a Pyrrhic victory; the leading bard collapsed in his teammates' arms, and his beloved instrument was buried under the rubble.

[Barbara: What a heavy history, Lord Barbatos. Watching your comrades fall one by one must have been incredibly painful, not to mention what else was involved...]

[Furina: The system did this on purpose, didn't it? These two stories are so similar!]

[Paimon: Why is the Traveler so quiet?]

[Ying: I'm a soft-hearted person, and I can't stand seeing these kinds of farewell scenes, boohoo~]

Wendy: It's just some old stories, with a bit of bard's adaptation.

Paimon in the video, as always, doesn't seem to care about the atmosphere.

Because the video included visuals, but from their perspective, the poet's sacrifice was not visible.

Paimon: "What happened to that friend you mentioned?"

Wendy's expression was somewhat unpleasant, suggesting that it had been a long time since this matter had been brought up. "Paimon, do you want to know what happened next?"

Ying: "Paimon, go pick two apples."

"Huh? Why do I suddenly want to eat this?"

Wendy: "Hehe, are you hungry?"

"Yes."

"I just can't do anything with you." Paimon said unhappily, but he was still managed to get rid of Ying.

She knew that Wendy's friend had most likely died in the war, like Stanley, trying to save him.

Wendy breathed a sigh of relief, because to be honest, it was still a little heartbreaking.

"Sigh, sometimes I feel that you are a bit too smart. But perhaps it's best for friends to understand each other implicitly."

"Fine wine, a gentle breeze... moments like these always remind me of... that song I heard from him..."

Ying: "I'll listen carefully."

"Fly, fly!"

"Like a bird in flight."

"See this world for me."

"Fly to the highest heavens in my stead."

The video ends.

[Zhongli: The gentle breeze can sometimes feel as heavy as a rock.]

[Naxi Da: A single sentence, "See this world for me," has lasted for 2,600 years]

[Furina: He only ever saw the blue sky once in all of this]

Navigette: For over two thousand years, she has traveled the world for him.

[Lei Movie: ...]

Wendy: What's wrong with everyone? Should I sing a cheerful song to liven things up?

Liyue, Stone Gate.

Paimon lowered his head, somewhat ashamed. "Traveler, if I ask such stupid questions again, could you please just cover my mouth?"

She only learned that Wendy's friend had died after watching the video that accompanied the story; her little brain couldn't possibly analyze it just by listening to the story.

Ying glared at her, "Your divine mouth is just spewing out like crazy, do you think I can stop you?"

"Then teach me how to talk like you, so I won't have to worry!"

"Learn, there is no end to learning."

This time, the system did not provide any explanation or notification regarding the rewards.

But if one day you pass through Mondstadt, you might meet a man named Stanley at the Adventurers' Guild.

Although he has just registered as an adventurer, he is very strong. If you have a quest, you can't go wrong with him.

If you enjoy drinking, you can also witness the Wind God himself performing for a cup of wine in "The Gift of the Angel".

Of course, he also had a wind sprite accompanying him.

A tiny, white, adorable wind sprite.
