Genshin Impact: I, the Winter Prince, reign supreme.

It was attracted by the power emanating from Su Yu.

Who has disturbed my slumber?

Dvalin's eyes were wide open in anger, radiating a bloody light. He hovered in mid-air, flapping his huge wings, confronting Su Yu.

"Tvalin, in memory of your merit in protecting the people and killing the poison dragon Durin during the Calamity of Kanria five hundred years ago, today we will help you purify the curse within you."

Hearing Su Yu's words, Amber was horrified.

This prince can purify curses; his power is terrifying.

The claim that intelligence indicated he was "not skilled in combat" is utter nonsense.

Chapter 22 Wind Dragon Ruins

At that time, Dvalin bit off the neck of the poisonous dragon Dulin, and the poisonous blood, carrying a curse, entered Dvalin's body. For hundreds of years afterward, Dvalin was tormented by the curse.

"Despicable and shameless humans, you have lost your faith, and you have even gradually forgotten me. I will never believe you again!"

Another stubborn fellow.

You're about to die, why do you care if others remember you?

"Noisy!"

Su Yu's aura erupted like a waterfall, causing the entire Wind Dragon Ruins to tremble.

Tvalin was immediately restrained by Su Yu and unable to move.

Half an hour later, the curse was purified, and Dvalin regained his freedom of movement.

It stared at the humans before it with a look of awe.

"Prince Zhidong, you saved my life. What is your wish?"

"My wish... is naturally to defy the laws of nature."

Tvalin was utterly astonished and immediately fell silent.

Having experienced the Battle of Kanria, it clearly understood the power of Heaven's Law.

“I admit you are powerful, your divine strength is no less than Barbatos’. But the laws of nature cannot be defeated.”

"Is that so..."

Upon hearing similar remarks again, Su Yu smiled dismissively.

However, arguing about this issue is pointless.

"I will cultivate here and comprehend the profound mysteries of the wind element."

"Cultivating a third elemental power? Prince Zhidong, please come up!"

Dvalin used an honorific title this time.

The image of the humans before it suddenly became tall and majestic in its mind.

Then it carried Su Yu into the sky.

Free from the torment of curses, it soars freely and joyfully.

"Good heavens, Dvalin has become the mount of Prince Winter."

The scene before Amber's eyes truly astonished her.

If this gets back to Mondstadt, it will definitely cause a huge uproar.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

Dvalin sent Su Yu back to the ground and exclaimed, "Prince Winter, you are hiding a tremendous secret. Apart from the Heavenly Principle, no one can cultivate multiple elemental powers at the same time. You are the first person I have ever seen."

Hearing the Wind Demon Dragon's praise, Su Yu shook his head.

"I've only grasped the basic essence of the wind element; I'd say I'm at the beginner level. It will take a long time before I can fully comprehend and utilize the wind element."

As Su Yu spoke, small tornadoes swirled around him.

"I'm starting to believe what you said earlier. Your Zhidong desires to defy the laws of nature, and you might actually have a chance of winning. Prince Zhidong, there's only so much I can do to help you. Why don't you seek help from Lord Barbatos, the Wind God?"

That's a very good question.

"That girl knew I was coming and has been hiding for a long time. In such a vast place as Mondstadt, finding even a wisp of wind is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Therefore, I will force her to come out and see me."

Before arriving in Mondstadt, Su Yu attempted to communicate with Barbatos in advance using divine power.

As a result, Barbatos did not respond at all.

Su Yu then guessed that he was unwilling to hand over the Heart of God.

So he simply left the mission and acted alone.

Su Yu usually prefers to be polite first and then resort to force. Since the other party ignores him, then he shouldn't blame him for being uncivilized.

"That Barbatos guy, can't he do something useful... sigh."

Dvalin uttered that classic line.

“Prince Zhidong, you saved me so that I could help you find Barbatos, right? I’m afraid I can’t help you; I haven’t seen him for decades.”

"Tvalin, I don't need you to do anything. Whatever happens outside, I only ask that you stay here and do nothing."

Tvalin nodded one last time and asked, "Where are you going next? I'll take you."

"Take me to see the King of the North Wind."

Su Yu jumped onto Tvalin's back again, while extending a hand to Amber.

"I know you're worried about my safety, Miss Amber. Would you like to come along?"

Seeing Su Yu's amused smile, Amber snorted, grabbed Su Yu's hand, and leaped onto the dragon's back.

Dvalin flapped his wings and quickly carried the two away into the distance.

Anastasia, the advisor of the Fools, struggled to raise her head.

Her knees were aching terribly from kneeling for so long.

Several subordinates asked in confusion, "Consultant, His Highness the Prince said that the failure of this mission was understandable and that he would not hold a grudge against us."

“That’s because His Highness the Prince is kind and benevolent. If any other executor had been here, we would have been severely punished today.”

The subordinates had not had direct contact with the eleven executives and were unaware of the differences between them.

"In that case, His Highness the Prince is the one who is reasonable."

The subordinates sighed with emotion.

"It is our honor to have His Highness the Prince."

Anastasia gazed at the sky, her eyes still filled with awe even though she could no longer see Dvalin's enormous figure.

"Consultant, the mission at Wind Dragon Ruins is complete. What's our next step?"

"His Highness the Prince sent a message before he left, instructing us to set off immediately to Jingfu Port to pick up the goods and escort them safely into Mondstadt."

"Escorting goods is a minor task; we can leave it to other teams. There are only some Hilichurls and Slimes along the way; there won't be any danger."

Anastasia said coldly, "Those aren't ordinary goods; they're weapons sent from our homeland. To be precise, an entire ship full of weapons and ammunition!"

"Hiss—Consultant, shall we attack Mondstadt?"

Since Su Yu had not explained the plan in detail, Anastasia was hesitant to confirm or deny her subordinates' questions.

"His Highness said he wants to play a game of chess with the wind god Barbatos. And this batch of weapons is His Highness's first trump card!"

……

It was Amber's first time flying on a dragon, and it was much faster than using Windwing. She was both excited and nervous.

But he almost fell several times along the way, and was only saved by Su Yu's help.

“No need to be stubborn, Miss Amber. Although you are a flying champion, you are riding a Stormterror now. I don’t mind lending you my shoulder.”

Su Yu said in a very gentlemanly manner.

“Then I have offended Your Highness.”

Amber grabbed Su Yu's broad shoulders.

Su Yu was like a pine tree, firmly rooted on Tvalin's back, giving her a great sense of security.

For some reason, Tvalin's speed increased.

Amber couldn't handle that speed, and for the last stretch of the journey, she simply hugged Su Yu from behind.

It seems that Dvalin has a very low opinion of the Knights of Favonius.

Su Yu astutely guessed Tvalin's thoughts.

"Prince Zhidong, the Wolf has arrived."

Upon arriving at their destination, Tvalin put Su Yu and Amber down and turned to say something.

Aren't you going to meet your old friends?

"As guardians of the four winds of Mondstadt and members of Lord Barbatos's family, we once fought side by side for Mondstadt. However, Lord Barbatos has disappeared without a trace, and the former guardians of the four winds have gradually become legends, so there is no need for us to reunite."

Su Yu waved his hand and said, "Tvalin, your answer is more appropriate for Barbatos himself."

"Prince Zhidong, I will remember our promise."

Dvalin flapped his wings and flew back to the Wind Dragon Ruins.

Amber's blush faded slightly, and she asked in confusion, "Dvalin, what's wrong with it... Why won't it see the North Wind Wolf? Having survived the ordeal, it should be happy to reunite with its old friend."

"Miss Amber, not all stories have a happy ending."

Su Yu continued, "The wind god Barbatos turns a blind eye to its curse, and having been forgotten by you Mondstadt people, it harbors a deep resentment and is therefore unwilling to see its old friend. The memories of the past are a painful burden for it."

Chapter 23 Guardians of the Four Winds

Beneath Su Yu's feet, the power of the elements extended in all directions, like the scanning waves of a radar.

Soon, he discovered a new situation.
