Yuan Shen: After the emperor abdicates, I will be in charge of Liyue

"There's some left here, and if you're really interested, I can pour you a little to taste."

Ying shook her head: "Forget it, Paimon has already fallen asleep, if you know that I tasted it but she didn't, I'm sure I'm going to make trouble again."

Qin smiled happily: "You two have such a good relationship."

"By the way, Jean, I have a question for you."

"Please tell me, I will tell you everything."

"It's not that serious, it's just a question from a friend of mine."

Ying roughly repeated Wendy's story, and as Qin listened, her expression gradually became dignified.

Especially when she heard the customs of the Knights, Qin frowned.

The Knights actually lost such an important thing...

"That's it. My friend really wants to know, what does that god's citizen think? Do you think he is incompetent?"

"How could this be?" Qin said seriously.

"Although I haven't experienced so many things, sitting in this position now, I will feel somewhat."

"Comparing my heart to my heart, if the West Wind Knights encounter this matter, I will not feel that Lord Barbatos is negligent."

"Because Mond is not only the Mond of the Wind God, but also the Mond of the Knights."

"It is our honor to be able to guard together with Fengshen."

Ying felt Qin's will, and nodded: "Then I will respond to my friend like this."

"No... What I mean is that actual actions can prove everything more than empty words."

Qin raised her head: "Knight of Honor, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, please come to Fengqidi."

Fluorescent nodded.

Calm was restored in Mond City.

Chapter 46 The Glory Above All

"Everyone is already here."

Kaiya yawned, and responded, "It's all here, even Noelle is here."

"I said Captain Qin, what did you call us to come to Fengqidi so early? It's not even the usual time for work, is it?"

"And I have to bring my best wine..." Kaya rubbed her chin, then smiled, "Maybe I have another drink."

Diluc said coldly, "I just know how to drink."

Qin ignored the funny Kaiya, and said straight to the point:

"Yesterday, I heard a story told by the honorary knight. In the story, there is also a free country, gods and knights."

"The knights in the story will come to the place where the wind rises after receiving their honors, and under the tree here, they will bury a bottle of wine as a gift to the god of wind."

"The knights at that time regarded this process as more important than awarding honors, because it meant that they would truly walk with the wind god and protect Mond together."

"Although I don't know what the specific ceremony process looks like, I think that today's Knights should also restore this tradition."

After Qin talked about it, she simply stopped acting, and even used Feng Qidi's name directly.

Everyone was silent after hearing this, but the seriousness on their faces already represented their answers.

"Then let's start. Since you don't know what the process looks like, then simply don't use the process. I believe Lord Barbatos will not mind these red tapes."

At this time, a soft and weak voice sounded: "But...but... I haven't been awarded yet..."

Everyone looked at Noelle in armored knight uniform.

Although I often see it, no matter how many times I watch it, everyone has to sigh: This little girl's strength is really not small.

Kaiya patted Noelle's shoulder carelessly, but the latter remained motionless.

"It's okay, Noelle, it's not your fault that you haven't been awarded the honor now, you will be awarded the honor sooner or later, because Fengshen has already accepted you."

Noelle's eyes lit up: "Is it true!"

"Of course, have you brought wine? If you don't have wine, you can use mine."

"Bring it!" Noelle lowered her head in embarrassment: "Although it is my father's wine, and it is not precious..."

"Hahaha! Fengshen won't really be short of our drink! For him, his heart is the most precious thing!"

Noelle nodded repeatedly.

Qin announced: "Then let's start, each chooses a place, and returns to Mond City after the burial. There are still many things to deal with today."

Everyone began to look for the place separately, and in the process, Qin found that there were traces of being excavated here.

She quickly found Ying: "Traveler, are the traces here caused by Lord Barbatos himself?"

Ying looked at the familiar place and shook her head: "It was the fairy next door who did it, don't worry, he said when he was digging that the wine here is divided into two categories, he didn't touch any of the offerings from the knights before, and took away the wine." It’s all the wine that Fengshen himself buried later.”

"So that's the case, Lord Barbatos was also there?"

"Well, Wendy moved hands with him."

"That fairy told you about the traditions of the Knights?"

Fluorescent nodded.

"It seems that the relationship between that fairy and Lord Barbatos is really good." Qin looked into the distance with emotion.

After everyone buried their drinks, they gathered together again.

Qin, acting as the head of the group, spoke on the spot.

"Please don't worry about us, it is our honor to walk with you."

"From now on, please continue to guide us, Lord Barbatos."

In a trance, everyone in the Knights seemed to see the image of the past.

They saw the gray-haired Vanessa plant the oak and bury the first bottle of wine.

Watching the oak tree grow up slowly, more and more knights came here to be honored.

Old, young, excited, serious.

The knight leaders and honored knights of the past generations appear here. They have different personalities, but the pride in their eyes has never changed.

It is their glory to walk with the wind god.

Until a man carrying two weapons, a big sword and a one-handed sword, and a group of wounded knights appeared, they half-kneeled in front of the oak tree, silent for a long time.

Since then, no knight has performed the ritual.

At this moment, far away in Mond City, the drunken Wendy suddenly woke up.

He poked his head out from the green belt on the side of the road and looked in the direction of the wind.

The wine buried by the knights was just ordinary wine.

But the mind preserved with the wine is a treasure that even time cannot destroy.

The familiar sense of connection reappeared, and Wendy felt a few breaths of life that were clearly not wind element life, but inexplicably linked to the wind vein.

Those who walk with the wind god will be blessed by the blue wind, and they will always walk with the wind.

How long has it been since I felt this way...

Wendy was in a daze for no reason.

In the past, Wendy often fell asleep, which was not good news for the gods, but Wendy didn't care.

Because at its peak, he could feel hundreds of such connections, and each connection represented a knight with extraordinary abilities.

With them around, Wendy would be fine even if she slept all day long.

But since 500 years ago, this sense of connection has become less and less, or even disappeared.

Wendy, who has no sense of security, will wake up when she feels a slight disturbance, the quality of sleep is greatly reduced, and the speed of strength recovery is getting slower and slower.

But now, someone has linked him again.

Wendy was silent for a while, and then complained quite dissatisfied: "It seems that you really want me to go back to work, and even used this trick."

A voice came from Liyue's direction: "A stable Mond is more in Liyue's interest."

"Then your calculation is wrong. Even if I wear the crown again, I will never take care of it! Absolutely!"

Ai Yi said disdainfully: "Don't think too highly of yourself, even if you are asked to take care of it, you have to take care of it."

"Humph~"

Wendy stopped talking to Ai Yi and continued to feel the situation of Fengqidi.

Everyone in the Knights opened their eyes one after another. Everything seemed to be an illusion just now.

After a brief conversation about the hallucination just now, they packed their things and prepared to return to Mond City.

Sometimes even Wendy himself has to sigh that his luck is really good.

Know that freedom is relative.

When Barbatos is free, someone assumes responsibility.

All along, no matter how bad Mond's situation is, some people will stand up and take on the responsibility of guiding Mond, so that Wendy can fish freely.

Just like the young man who longed for the birds to soar, he was willing to die.

Because he knows that after he dies, his friends will take his place, watching the birds soar and the grass grow and the warblers fly.

Just like Vanessa formed the Zephyr Knights.

When she was favored and called by the heavens, what she worried most was whether the future knights could take on the heavy responsibility and let the gentle blue wind continue to be carefree.

Just like when Rustan died in the line of duty, what was in his mind was not remorse, but regret for the girl, and the peace of mind that he did not live up to Fengshen's trust.

Just like yesterday, when the breeze blew, everyone was ecstatic.

That is not joy, not the peace of mind of being sheltered, but the glory of being recognized.

Walking with the wind is their glory.
