Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

After leaving a message, Diluc quickly left the tavern, intending to follow them.

Diluc froze as soon as he stepped outside.

What about people?

How fast! They disappeared in the time it takes to say two sentences?

Diluc looked around but couldn't find Wendy anywhere.

It's like a gust of wind; it blows by and then it's gone.

Hmm? Wait, the wind in the city... why is it getting stronger?

The once clear sky quickly darkened, and the gale intensified in a few breaths, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

Only after the newly installed city shields of Mondstadt were raised did the wind in Mondstadt stop, and people were able to open their eyes and look at the sky.

The dragon's silhouette flashed across the dark sky.

It's Stormterror!

The crowd in Mondstadt was in an uproar.

Why has the dragon calamity started again?

Wasn't it said to have been sealed away?

Weren't Lord Jean and the others personally overseeing the seal? Weren't there also a large number of Favonius Knights defending it? Why has Stormterror come to Mondstadt again?

Is it possible...

Have Commander Qin and the others already sacrificed themselves?

The people of Mondstadt were now buzzing with discussion.

Meanwhile, in the sky, Dvalin looked down at Mondstadt, completely bewildered.

After the initial shock, a surge of intense anger followed.

"Barbatos, get down to business!!!"

Dvalin's roar echoed throughout the entire city of Mondstadt.

"What happened to me?"

Venti, who was hiding in the shadows and communicating with Dvalin through wind elemental power, was full of question marks.

I could accept your insults when I wasn't there because of the problems with your temporary accommodation, but why are you still insulting me now that you're in Mondstadt?

It’s not over, right?

"How long has it been? You've already lost Mondstadt!"

"?"

"Look at yourself! That's the power of the Geo Archon next door! The people of Mondstadt have abandoned you! Aren't you going to do anything worthwhile?!"

"..."

"Hey, Dvalin, is it possible that this is just a new technology developed by humans, and they're only using it because you're causing trouble?"

That was just an extra-large shield that the Knights of Favonius bought from the Inazuma people, specifically to defend against dragon scourges.

Besides, even if they really did join Liyue, wouldn't that be because of the Dragon Plague?

Tvalin: "..."

From the perspective of the people of Mondstadt below, Mondstadt was shrouded in a hurricane, and the giant dragon in the sky circled around again and again, but there was no sign of a formal attack from either side.

Neither Stormterror nor Mondstadt made a move.

"What's going on? Didn't they say the Knights of Favonius bought and manufactured a lot of weapons? Why aren't they making a move?"

"Hush! This might be a duel between masters. They might not make a move until they do, and then they'll kill!"

"what?"

Protected by Mondstadt's defensive shield, while hurricanes howled outside the city, the city remained peaceful and serene inside.

Seeing the situation, the people of Mondstadt no longer rushed to seek refuge, but instead watched the sky develop further from the streets.

What does it mean that the Wind Demon Dragon said to let their Wind God Barbatos do something worthwhile?

Do these two know each other?

Wait, Lord Barbatos is in Mondstadt?!

Those who understood this point became quite excited.

No wonder Stormterror didn't dare to make a move; it must be because he was mindful of Lord Barbatos!

While people on the ground were still eating melons, in the sky, the conversation between Tvalin and Wendy, who was hiding in the shadows, continued.

Wendy successfully learned the whole story of how Dvalin left the seal from him.

Then Wendy found it even more outrageous.

The seal he had meticulously set up was broken by that person simply by standing there.

what?

"You said you suddenly became very restless at that time, what did that feel like?"

"I don't know. It's like there was something about that person that attracted me. But it only lasted for a moment. After the seal was broken, I never felt that way again."

It's so evil.

Not right.

There must be a ghost at home!

Wendy glanced at Dvalin in the sky, then at Jean and her group, who had returned to Mondstadt despite the hurricane.

He focused his gaze on Ying, an ordinary person from another world... huh?

Wendy stared into thought as she looked at the somewhat familiar decorations and aura of Ying.

“I think there might be hope, Dvalin.”

"Hmm? What hope?"

"I can help you find a cure, but before that, I need to verify it. Cooperate with me."

On the ground, Ying, who was staring seriously at Dvalin in the sky, suddenly heard a mysterious voice telling her to unfold her Wind Wings and get closer to Dvalin.

This would give them a chance to lure Dvalin out of Mondstadt and save the city from danger.

Luminous, who hadn't even met Amber yet: "???"

What are Wind Wings?

Chapter 268 The Invisible Hand

"This is nothing."

Inside the castle tower, Jiang Ming covered his eyes with his hands and leaned back in his chair.

On the screen in front of Jiang Ming was the latest report on the situation in Mondstadt.

The dragon scourge has once again swept through Mondstadt. A foreign traveler bravely steps forward, sacrificing himself to lure the dragon and save Mondstadt from the catastrophe, earning the title of Honorary Knight of Mondstadt.

After going around in circles, we've come full circle.

The Traveler bravely intervened when Stormterror attacked Mondstadt, with Venti secretly helping him. In the end, they successfully lured Stormterror away from Mondstadt and were awarded the title of Knight of Honor.

There was absolutely no difference; everything that was supposed to happen would happen without exception.

Jiang Ming read the report again.

As for changes... well, there have been some, though not none.

For example, in the original storyline, the Traveler wandered for two months after catching Paimon before the game's opening scene where the Traveler explains his background, and only then does the story officially begin.

These two months could be a time for the traveler and Paimon to get to know each other.

According to information from Mondstadt, the Traveler and Paimon have known each other for less than a week, but the bond they developed from their shared journey over a piece of fish is quite strong, described by the Knights of Favonius as "inseparable."

The timing has changed, but the relationship between the Traveler and Paimon remains unaffected.

For example, the dragon scourge had been raging for half a year before Venti finally intervened to appease Dvalin, but he was disturbed by the Travelers during the process, and his efforts were in vain.

The attack only happened once, and Dvalin was calmed down and sealed away by Wendy.

The Abyss Mage who tried to control Dvalin was thrown into the sea by Venti, and the seal he set up prevented the Abyss Order from getting close to Dvalin again. A large number of Favonius Knights were also stationed around the area.

The Abyss Order made several attempts, but failed to even break through the outer defenses of the Knights of Favonius. Eventually, their efforts came to an end, and it seemed they had given up on their operation against Dvalin.

As a result, the seal was broken as soon as the traveler got close.

Then, just like in the original story, the Traveler, with Wendy's help, bravely battles Stormterror.

Everything had changed, but in the end nothing changed; we returned to the familiar starting point.

Furthermore, they requested assistance from Mondstadt to deploy a large number of unmanned devices along the expected route, with dedicated Favonius Knights in charge, in an attempt to detect the two's presence in advance and then make targeted deployments.

As a result, no one noticed the two until they reached the Seven Gods statues at Starfall Lake and came into contact with the wind elemental power. Only then were they discovered by the passing Knights of Favonius and brought to the vicinity of the seal.

Well... but speaking of which, the situation these past few days is that Leader Qin is also near the seal. Even though the unmanned equipment discovered the two of them, they were eventually brought here.

In any case, the final result will most likely remain unchanged.

It was as if an invisible hand was forcibly pulling the plot, which had become completely unrecognizable, back onto the right track.

If he's not mistaken, this should be the work of a powerful, visible force.

hiss……

If that's the case, what else might they encounter in Inazuma?

They have already resolved Inazuma's biggest internal problem and its biggest external problem.

The main storyline is physically gone; it's already finished.

They've already done things like the Great Exorcism of Divine Cherry Blossom, and they're even continuing to trace back to the source, making up for any delays or missed tasks.

And nowadays, there probably wouldn't be anyone reckless enough to defy the rules and arbitrarily set prices and charges at customs, right?
