Genshin Impact: The wind blowing back to the starting point

The road on the snow-capped mountains was very rugged, and they could only rely on the compass to determine the direction. Occasionally, Wendy would fly into the sky to draw the topographic map of this area.

As for why he didn't just use his divine power to fly over, don't ask, he just doesn't have the physical strength to ask.

It was getting late now, but they had not yet found a suitable place to stay.

Traveling in the dark is dangerous after all, and the sounds of various creatures around them add a sense of fear to their journey.

Although Edwin hunted all year round, he had never been into the mountains after dark. This was the first time. Listening to the howling of the wind, he held Wendy's hand tightly in fear and looked around warily. My whole body was shaking.

"Lord Barbatos, it's weird here..." Edwin muttered in fear.

Seeing his timid appearance, Wendy, who had always been unruly, also started to tease him.

He cleared his throat and said, "Then let me tell you a story. Do you know Liyue?"

"I know... I know."

Wendy laughed "Hey" and then started telling the story:

There are many demon gods in Liyue. As early as 1,100 years ago, the demon gods from all sides came to fight on their own, just to expand their territory.

In a certain mountain in Liyue, there once was a village, and a demon god appeared in that village. Unlike other demon gods who were fighting everywhere, he only wanted a corner of peace.

However, he was determined to pursue peace, and other demon gods may not respect him. Within a hundred years, the war burned that village.

Although the demon god pursued peace, he was not inferior in martial arts. He immediately took up arms to defend his people.

However, he was defeated in the end, and he finally made a contract with the invading demon god at the cost of his life: protect our people, and those who violate the rules will be punished, kill one for ten, and never show mercy.

However, the demon god did not abide by the contract. He entered the village with a sword and slaughtered all the villagers in the village.

Later, he expanded his territory to this point. When he was enjoying the fruits of victory and watching his people celebrate the victory in the war, the curse of the contract also quietly came.

After only three days of joy, a disease appeared among his people, which would cause the whole body to gradually fester and be haunted by nightmares every night.

Soon, the virus spread to the entire village, and villagers died tragically one after another. Unfortunately, they died without knowing that it was the gods they believed in who killed them.

Soon, the village was empty.

However, the curse did not let go of the dead people, and their ghosts were left in the village to continuously cycle through the pain of their lives.

No matter day or night, people can see people passing by in the village, and there is smoke from cooking, as if they are living an ordinary life.

However, as soon as you enter the village, you will find that there is no one there and it is deathly quiet.

Late at night, there are still cold winds, and from time to time there are voices whispering in the dream, and even wailing can be heard.

However, when you wake up, the surroundings will return to deathly silence.

And once you enter that village, you can never come out. The evil spirit has cursed the land. Once you enter, you will suffer from the same disease, with ulcers all over your body and endless pain.

To this day, the curse continues, and there are even rumors that the curse will spread through stories, and people who hear it will suffer from the same disease.

……

"Ahhh!" Edwin was so frightened that he screamed, and Wendy immediately covered his mouth: "What if we call an avalanche again? Calm down."

Edwin nodded tremblingly and looked around again, now breaking out in a cold sweat.

His whole body was shaking, and he couldn't even take a step for a long time after following Wendy.

"Don't worry, it's just a story. I made it up casually. Even Morax has never heard of it." Wendy comforted helplessly. There was no piano at the moment. If he could play a song, he would definitely be able to eliminate the problem. All of Edwin's fears.

But he was the one who caused it, so Wendy had to patiently comfort him.

"Don't worry, there is still me. I am the God of Wind. You have seen my abilities, right? With the blessing of the God of Wind, you will always be lucky."

Edwin's fear also dissipated a little, and he sighed: "Lord Barbatos, I only started hunting after the death of the tower king. I am actually very timid."

"You know, you know, why don't you have more trust in me, the god of wind? Even if the sky falls, I can still hold it up."

Hearing Wendy comforting himself with her words of comfort, Edwin smiled sheepishly. Thinking about how abrupt he was before and how he had to be the eldest brother of Fengshen, he felt particularly ashamed.

Fortunately, Wendy was considerate enough not to tease him by mentioning these things.

"By the way, Lord Barbatos, who is Morax?" Edwin asked.

"Mora..." Wendy was startled. He forgot that the Demon God War was not over yet, and Morax had not yet become the God of Contract.

But he also got inspiration, and immediately smiled at Edwin and said: "Morax is one of the people in the Liyue Demon God War. He is old-fashioned and doesn't know how to adapt. He loves to walk with birds and listen to music. He doesn't bring money with him when he goes out and asks for help from others. To settle the account for him, the forces that are hostile to him include giant mountain chilies that can cause landslides, ocean overlords that can flood Liyue, and various powerful ancient demons. Guess who will win the war in the end? If I lose, I will make you one of my dependents; if you lose, prepare a room full of wine for me."

"Wine? What does Lord Barbatos mean by wine?" Edwin looked at Wendy in confusion.

"I will teach you later, you can owe it first, hurry up, hurry up, what are you betting on?"

"From your description, I feel that Morax is very unreliable, but he can flood Liyue. I heard that there are many mountains in Liyue, so he must be powerful if he can flood Liyue. I guess he is the demon god of the sea."

Hearing his guess, Wendy couldn't help but feel ecstatic. Sure enough, speaking ill of Zhongli could mislead people, and he would definitely win.

But he still pretended to be calm on the surface, cleared his throat and said: "Then I will do the opposite. Guess that Morax, maybe he has some other abilities."

After hearing Wendy's answer, Edwin immediately laughed, thinking that his position as God's dependent was secure.

Little did she know that Wendy had already started thinking about how big of a house to renovate to store wine.

In this relaxed atmosphere, they walked to a relatively flat place, and many houses appeared in front of them, which was obviously a village.

It was completely dark around now, and it was probably around eight or nine o'clock.

So, they decided to stay in this village for a night.

But this village has an unusual feeling.

The village was very quiet, eerily quiet, and every house seemed empty.

Wendy chose a house and looked in through the window, only to see light blue lights on inside the house. Through the window, he could see the fire in the fireplace, but he could not feel any warmth.

There was someone sitting on the sofa, but he looked like he was dead, but he would still get up from time to time to get things, which looked very strange.

And it seems like every family is like this.
