Genshin Impact, the spear remains.
Chapter 35 The Sun and the Stars
"You can continue to worry about your job."
After the meal, Bai Qiyun led Klee and Amber away, leaving the latter to wander aimlessly in Mondstadt.
As for why Amber wasn't brought along to take care of Klee, the answer is simple: although Amber was slacking off, she still had a regular job. If others saw her hanging out with other people during work hours, it would have a negative impact on both her personal and professional life.
"So, where do you usually spend your time in the city?"
For Bai Qiyun, although Klee was a formal member of the Knights of Favonius, she was just a child, and the Knights would obviously not assign her any combat missions alone.
So, accompanied by herself, a non-Knight Order member, Klee could only wander around the city aimlessly, just like Amber had done earlier.
"Hmm... Klee often goes for a walk in the square in front of the Church of the West Wind. Sometimes there are bards telling stories there, and Klee loves listening to them."
The clever little devil was now preoccupied with how to get Bai Qiyun to take her out of the city to play. So she hoped to take him to some famous places in Mondstadt to make him happy, so that Bai Qiyun might agree to take her out to play.
Is it the Church of the West Wind?
Bai Qiyun recalled the pastor who had treated him and Bennett before; she must have been a member of the Church of the West Wind.
After crossing more than a dozen towering city walls, Bai Qiyun and Keli finally arrived at the square in front of the Church of the West Wind.
A huge statue of the wind god stood in the square, and two or three people were walking back and forth below, seemingly taking a stroll.
As for the bard Klee mentioned, I didn't see him.
However, there were quite a few Knights of Favonius patrolling around, probably because the symbolic significance of this place was too great.
Stepping on the stone slabs, Bai Qiyun walked towards the statue of the Wind God.
With wings spread behind him and hands cupped in his hands, the wind god statue, dressed in a hooded garment, sits in the center of the square. It is surrounded by covered pavilions that provide shelter from the rain, just like the people who praised the wind god thousands of years ago.
However, when looking up at the statue, besides its majestic figure, Bai Qiyun could also see the obvious signs of wear and tear on it. Although the outline of the face was still clear, there were many scratches on the edges and corners.
It seems that even the winds that have protected Mondstadt for a thousand years cannot escape the erosion of time.
"Isn't it magnificent?"
A somewhat familiar female voice reached my ears.
Pulled back to reality by the voice, Bai Qiyun looked up abruptly.
"Sister Barbara!"
Klee, who was beside her, called out the name of the person who had just arrived.
A priest dressed in a white suit stood beside the two, gazing together at the statue of the wind god.
"Claire, you've come over today."
It's not easy to see Klee in the city normally, because Klee spends most of her time in the confinement room.
Barbara quite liked this little girl from the Knights of Favonius.
However, Klee wasn't alone here; there was also a patient she had treated before. As a prayer pastor, ensuring the patient's recovery was also part of her job.
"How is the recovery of this gentleman from Liyue?"
Bai Qiyun has now removed the bandage from his right hand, because it was too hot to wear a bandage in the middle of summer.
"There shouldn't be any problems now. Thank you for your previous treatment, Miss Barbara."
Fortunately, Keli had mentioned the name of the pastor in front of him, otherwise Bai Qiyun would have had to call her a certain pastor of the West Wind Church.
"That's good. You were quite badly injured when you came here before. I didn't expect you to recover so well now."
Seeing that Bai Qiyun's right hand was alright, Barbara was relieved.
After all, the person in front of him was the one who had saved the Mondstadt citizen (Bennett). If he were to cause the person to not receive proper treatment because of his own mistake, he would feel quite guilty.
"Oh right, I was in such a hurry when I left that I didn't have a chance to ask your name."
Realizing that the other person knew her name, Barbara quickly asked Bai Qiyun for his name.
If they were to communicate again later, it would be awkward if she was the only one who didn't know the other person's name.
"Me? My name is Bai Qiyun, I guess you could say I'm a tourist from Liyue."
Although it wasn't his own idea.
Bai Qiyun felt a little embarrassed when the pastor asked him the question.
"Bai Qiyun? Hmm, that's a very nice name."
Although Barbara didn't have a deep understanding of Liyue culture, she still complimented the other person's name.
Whether it was out of politeness or genuine feeling is unknown.
While the two were chatting, Klee stared blankly up at the statue of the wind god.
Two ruby-like eyes stared blankly at the sky, muttering to themselves under their breath.
"If only we could turn the wind god statue into a bomb..."
"Um?"
Little Keli beside him seemed to be saying something dangerous, so Bai Qiyun turned around and glanced at her.
Klee quickly lowered her head and gave a silly smile, trying to fool everyone.
However, what she mentioned made Bai Qiyun fall into deep thought again.
"However, the statue of the wind god."
As a resident of Liyue, Bai Qiyun had never seen such a huge statue of the Geo Archon in Liyue Harbor.
In terms of faith, the people of Liyue's devotion to the Geo Archon is absolutely no less than the people of Mondstadt's devotion to the Anemo Archon.
Even so, the people of Liyue Harbor rarely create any special spectacle to worship the Geo Archon. At most, they would tattoo the Geo Archon's image on lanterns during the Lantern Festival each year and then release them into the sky.
There really isn't a landscape this massive.
Standing beneath the statue of the wind god Barbatos, even after thousands of years, Bai Qiyun could still faintly feel the gentle breeze bestowed upon Mondstadt by the wind god Barbatos, which had never ceased for millennia.
So even though the wind god has been hidden from the world for hundreds of years, Mondstadt still enjoys freedom and peace in the world.
"This statue was sculpted by the old nobles at the beginning of Mondstadt's founding, representing people's reverence for the wind god Barbatos and their yearning for freedom."
As the daughter of the Gunnhildr family, even though Barbara no longer inherits that surname, she still knows everything about this ancient land as recorded in books.
"Two thousand six hundred years ago, under the protection of the wind god, people made a vow to 'protect Mondstadt forever'."
All that once was is now gone, only the gentle breeze flowing between heaven and earth and this unchanging statue that has stood for thousands of years bear witness to the past.
—Protect Mondstadt forever, protect its verdant plains, mountains, hills, and forests, may it remain evergreen forever.
—May Mondstadt be forever protected, no longer be afflicted by the tyrannical blizzard, the tyrannical blizzard, and may it be forever free.
The two inscriptions carved beneath the statue are still clearly visible today.
In this ancient city, there are also those who came after, putting this lofty ideal into practice.
Whether it's the eldest daughter of the Gunnhilds, the eldest son of the Legnfenders, or even the heir of the old noble House of Lawrence, they are all fulfilling the vow made by their ancestors thousands of years ago in their own ways.
The wind howled past.
Even as an outsider, Bai Qiyun could feel the weight of time as he looked at the statue of the Wind God.
No wonder this is one of the three major tourist attractions in Mondstadt.
This place alone, with its rich history, is enough to make the trip worthwhile for visitors.
Not to mention that he has the largest church in Mondstadt, the Church of Favonius, behind him. Anyone who visits such a place will definitely have a lasting impression.
"Then we won't disturb Miss Barbara's prayers any longer. Claire and I will be leaving now."
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, and that they were all casting subtle glances at Barbara, Bai Qiyun knew that Barbara had something to do next, so he quickly said goodbye and left.
"And then, Klee, where else do you usually go?"
Bai Qiyun, who still didn't know much about Mondstadt, continued to solicit Keli's opinions, making Keli act like a little tour guide.
The current situation is that Bai Qiyun feels that he is only responsible for watching over Keli, but he has no right to forcibly regulate her. Moreover, Keli has the Eye of God, so he doesn't need to worry about her safety.
However, Klee felt she had to listen to the adults, especially since it was Jean who had arranged it, so she could only obediently follow them.
This idea creates a vicious cycle in communication between the two.
