Genshin Impact: The wind blowing back to the starting point

What if Tevalin came alone?

That's impossible.

Barbatos was not injured or dead. As a dependent, it couldn't sense anything.

It can only be said that someone bribed it to do errands.

And this person...

Zhongli and Ziling were still confused about the situation when they heard a call from above the giant dragon: "Finally, this moment has arrived.

Infinite light shines on me, giving me the responsibility to save and defend the world.

Even if the pain is added to me, I will move forward on the thorny road without hesitation.

I am the messenger who walks in the darkness with my heart toward the light, the frost that has lasted for hundreds of years: the bitter soul-destroying ice god! "

After saying that, a figure jumped down from Tevalin's back.

The growing figure is none other than the Soul-Destroying Ice God, Sliwen, who is wearing a set of exaggerated Mondstadt costumes. Although he has a good-looking face, he is mentally unstable.

When he landed on the ground, he put his hand on Zhongli's shoulder very naturally: "How was it? Are you excited to see my appearance? Are you excited? Is it like a god descending from you?"

Zhongli smiled lightly and nodded: "Yes, that's true."

After all, just when he had just finished thinking about whether a Mondstadt could fall from the sky, Sliwen actually fell.

For Zhongli, having a Mondrian to help him naturally made him feel good.

At this time, Tevalin also flew to the ruins on the top of the mountain to sit and rest, while the others chatted with Sliwen.

Ziling walked up to Shili Wen and said hello with a smile: "It's been a long time, the soul-breaking ice god of the second grade."

"It's bitter! The bitter soul-breaking ice god!" Shili Wen corrected Ziling as usual.

"Why is it bitter?" Ziling was puzzled.

It’s okay if I don’t ask. When I asked, I saw Sliwen put his middle finger on his forehead, closed his eyes and lowered his head: “Of course it’s because I’m covered in darkness and walking on a road that doesn’t lead to the light.

I feel bitter in my heart, but I still have to move forward. "

Ziling was speechless. Judging from her previous interactions with Mondstadt and the Rainforest, Ziling boldly guessed that this guy didn't think about it that much at all. He just felt that the word "bitter" was a good word, so he used it and then made up this one. Rhetoric.

But it's not important where Sliwen came from. What's important is how he suddenly appeared here and brought Tevarin with him.

Logically speaking, he should be guarding Mondstadt together with Tvarin.

At this time, I saw him taking out a book from his arms. He looked very serious and pious, as if he had taken out some treasure: "Of course I am here to give you the secret book."

Ziling took a breath. He had heard the story about Sliwen deceiving Siswan for three years with a fairy tale book. The book he took out was probably also a fairy tale book.

When Ziling took it and looked at the title above, her heart suddenly froze.

As he expected, it was a fairy tale book.

This Sliwen came all the way to deliver a fairy tale book, and he didn't know whether he should be moved or punch him.

"Shli Wen, what did Brother Siswan say? Brother Siswan or Sister Gunnhild must have agreed to your coming here, right?" Ziling flipped through the book and looked at him helplessly.

"Of course! After seeing it, Sivansi agreed that I would come to Bartopas."

Zhongli: "..." At this moment, Emperor Yanwang just wanted to be silent.

Ziling looked at him helplessly: "First, his name is Siswan; second, his name is Barbatos.

I said, didn’t you remember it when you were in Mondstadt before? "

"Well... I'm sorry, I remembered it wrong again... maybe it's because I haven't seen you for a long time..." Sliwen explained awkwardly.

"Then Siswan, you haven't seen me for a long time?" Ziling laughed angrily at him, "I'm afraid all you can remember is that your name is Sliwen and your sweetheart's name is Bellis."

Zhongli did not participate in the bickering between Ziling and Shili Wen, but took the fairy tale book and read it.

It is normal for Sliwen to do such a ridiculous thing.

But generally speaking, Siswan would not do this.

Zhongli had talked with Siswan before when he was in Mondstadt. He was a steady, responsible and thoughtful guy.

It's no wonder that even though he was once considered an enemy of Wendy, Wendy still chose to reuse him.

Such people would not do anything like agreeing to send an unreliable guy to them.

Unless there really are any clues in this book that they can use.

Zhongli thought this while flipping through the pages. Sure enough, there was a fairy tale that attracted his attention.

"Mr. Shriwen, where did this book come from?" Zhongli interrupted the bickering between Ziling and Shriwen.

"Oh, that bookstore in that high tower, when Siswan and I were looking for clues about the sewage monster, we took it out together with Corik's diary."

Zhongli nodded.

He quickly came to Ziling and handed the book to Ziling: "When Barbatos contacts you, read this story to him."

Ziling nodded and quickly accepted it.

……

Wendy slept late last night and it was already noon when she woke up.

He walked out of the pile of dolls, yawned and returned to the room, intending to lie on the bed and continue sleeping.

But after lying on the bed, I couldn't fall asleep again.

Wendy breathed a sigh of relief, sat up, and casually contacted Ziling with her divine power.

Who knew that as soon as he was connected, he heard the child blasting in his ears: "Wendy! Let me tell you, we found a clue!

It's from Sliwen and Tevarin!

Listen, let me read it to you! "

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Wendy quickly stopped and breathed a sigh of relief, "Good boy, calm down first, my ears are going deaf."

Ziling apologized quickly, and then said slowly in a smooth and gentle voice: "Then let me start. Like other Mondstadt stories, this is also a story about freedom..."

In the story, there is a child who has been imprisoned since his birth and has been longing for freedom.

Later, he heard that there was a place called the Garden of Freedom, and only truly free people could go there.

So, that became the goal of his efforts.

When he grew up, he escaped from his captivity in order to be free.

However, even though he ran wantonly in the jungle and ran wherever he wanted, the legendary Freedom Garden still did not appear.

For a time, he began to doubt the authenticity of Liberty Garden.

He asked the gods, who told him that of course there was a free garden, but he was not truly free yet.

The boy who got the answer continued on the road to pursue freedom.

I don’t know how long he walked, but the boy has turned into an old man, and his head is already covered with white hair.

One day, he suddenly stopped.

Looking back on my life, I have always been chasing freedom and moving forward.

But what exactly is freedom?

Is it possible that I, who have been chasing freedom, am bound by a shackle called freedom?

When he thought of this, everything around him suddenly changed, and he was transported to a garden.

There was a vast expanse of grass, a house that looked very warm, and a swing.

The old man suddenly understood that this was the Freedom Garden.

Only at this moment did I truly realize freedom, and was there truly no shackles in my heart.

After listening, Wendy looked at the vast grassland outside and remained silent.

But Ziling was still there asking him if he knew anything.

After a long time, Wendy said calmly: "I understand, please feel free to wait for me."
