Chapter 1020 If I were given three days of light, the God of hope and miracles

The dandelion wind blows through the slow windmill, and the sun is shining brightly.

On the clean streets of Mond, Barbara and Jiang Yi slowed down their pace.

Noelle, Ying, and Paimon looked ahead, at a bench next to the street flower bed.

A young girl sat alone, her brown hair and fair skin showing the vitality of a Mondstadt person.

But that vitality only appeared in her neatly dressed body, as if she was waiting for her lover. Her clothes were not exquisite or expensive, but just the common off-shoulder long-sleeved tight-fitting tops in white, blue or gray worn by Mond women, and shorts that revealed her white legs.

Her eyes were covered by a gray band, revealing a delicate nose and mouth.

She listens to the footsteps of passers-by and the sound of the wind.

"Is it her?" Ying, Paimon and Noelle recognized the blind woman.

They seemed to understand what Barbara was going to do.

"Gloria..." Barbara gently called out the girl's name.

"An idol's duty is to make everyone like them." Barbara looked at the people around her who kept greeting her, "I think I did a good job and my choice was not wrong."

"But I've always been confused. On the other hand, idols need to soothe everyone's spiritual fatigue. Have I really done that?"

"I once sang for Anna who was sick, wishing her that her illness would be cured. I also sang for Gloria who was blind, wishing her that her lover who was away from home would return."

Her steps became slower and slower until she stopped.

"…But after the song ended, the smiles on their faces did not stop…"

"Barbara..." Paimon looked at Barbara.

Barbara smiled and said, "I have never given up. My wish and my dream is to heal everyone with my singing..."

Body and mind.

"I have heard many people thank me, but Anna and Gloria are the sadness that has stayed in my heart for a long time. I hope they can also have that healthy and happy smile."

"Before I achieve my dream..."

"Jiang Yi, please help me! Help them!"

"Anna has hope of recovery, but Glory's eyes... human medical skills cannot restore her sight."

The eyes are the most delicate organs in the human body. The magic and knowledge required to heal a person's eyes are too far away for Barbara.

She can sustain the lives of the seriously injured, heal adventurers' knife wounds and elemental wounds, but she is powerless against Glory's eyes.

Jiang Yi nodded gently: "That's why I exist!"

The immortals and gods who save people from suffering are supposed to walk in the mortal world, let good deeds bring good results, make evildoers turn back, and let miracles happen.

Those who pray to me, those who see me, those who meet me by chance... will see my eighty-two incarnations.

The first is a compassionate doctor who cures the incurable sufferings and diseases in the world.

"God of Wind, please bless Goodwin to come back soon." As usual, the girl named Glori prayed to the God of Wind when she missed him.

"Hmm?" She tilted her head slightly, as if looking.

The direction from which the footsteps came was...

She heard someone approaching.

They heard people around them greeting them.

"Barbara, Noelle, and..." Gloria was surprised, "Honorary Knight, Sword Master of West Wind?"

"Hello!" Ying and Paimon greeted.

"Who are you?" She recalled and guessed, "Another honorary knight and her followers? I remember you talked to me once."

"It's not a follower! It's Paimon!" Paimon stomped his feet.

"Oh! It's Paimon!" Gloria took note.

"Gloria, how are you?" Barbara asked in the most ordinary way.

"Yes." Glory said, "Although I can't see it, I can always hear the changes in Mond. The stories that others told me are portrayed in my mind."

"His Highness the Swordmaster of West Wind is now a god-ascending being," she said. "It's a bit of a pity that I can't see the appearance of the legendary figure of Mondstadt."

"Hello!" Jiang Yi smiled.

"Since Goodwin left, a lot of things have happened in Mondstadt! From the Dragon Plague to the Wind Flower Festival, humans went from sighing in sorrow to the wind in Mondstadt calming down and becoming happy." Glory said, "The two knights of honor are rising like supernovas."

"I often wait for Goodwin here, praying that he can avoid those annoying Hillock people or the Abyss Cult on his way back... and reunite with me soon."

"Now that Mondstadt is changing like this, I believe that when the Grand Commander and Goodwin come back and hear about your experiences, they will be shocked." Glory smiled for a long while, then immediately said embarrassedly.

"what--!"

"I'm talking to myself again..."

"Are you guys just passing by? Chatting with me won't interfere with your business, right?" she said. "I'm glad to meet you today."

Barbara shook her head, remembering that Gloria couldn't see.

"Your eyes..." She stopped talking halfway.

Gloria said, "The eye problem is fine!"

"…I was not used to it at first. But not being able to see makes your ears more sensitive, doesn't it?" She smiled, "When the wind blows past my ears, I feel like I can 'see' something…"

"Since I started believing in Barbatos, I can occasionally hear a very gentle voice whispering in the wind."

Gloria put her hands in a praying position and smiled devoutly.

"Just as my mother said, Mondstadt is indeed a city blessed by the God of Wind."

Noelle said from the side: "Her mother is Sister Grace!"

"Yes! The God of Wind protects this city!" Jiang Yi smiled and took out the Sword of Wind and Flower and turned it into the Harp of Wind and Flower.

Gently pluck the healing piano music, as melodious as the tune of dandelions.

"Then... did you hear it? The wind that can bring a small turn of events and hope!" He played the nameless tune that came completely from his heart like a bard.

"If I were given three days of light..."

"I will do my best to learn to be independent while I am still alive..."

"Whenever I feel unhappy, I will hide in the flowers..."

“I hid my crying face among those moist and tender leaves. Their fragrance comforted me and after a while, my bad mood disappeared.”

Jiang Yi's singing voice could be heard from far away, and the pedestrians who were hurrying by could not help but slow down their pace and lower their voices in conversation.

Gloria listened to the narration of the blind foreign writer, her hands stiffly covering her mouth. Her eyes became moist without her knowing when. The blind grievance, the loneliness of her lover's absence, the fear of facing the darkness... all seemed to emerge from her pretending to be strong heart at this moment.

The strip of cloth covering his eyes gradually became wet.

Jiang Yi sang softly and softly:

"In the long dark night of my life, the books I have read and the books people have told me have become a huge and brilliant lighthouse, pointing out the deepest course of life and soul for me."

“Dark clouds cannot cover the sun, evil will eventually be defeated, and true victory will always belong to justice.”

There was a bright light between Jiang Yi's fingers.

"The Goddess of Hope came over to me with a smile and whispered softly to me..."

"Open your eyes again, Gloria!"

"The darkness has faded, the sun has come, I will give you more than three days of light..."

……

The sound of the piano seemed to fade away.

Drops of tears flowed from Gloria's eyes that could not see the sun, as if taking away dark clouds, as if taking away the disease.

The blessings from the gods and immortals that echoed in the sound of the piano transformed into miraculous light.

A long time, a long time.

A voice spoke to her.

Open your eyes, Gloria!

Her eyes opened tremblingly, the light became brighter, and the cloth wet by her tears seemed unable to block the sunlight anymore.

A gentle breeze untied the strips of cloth, and four concerned faces were reflected in her eyes.

"Gloria...are you...ok?"

Noelle, Barbara, Ying, and Paimon looked at the girl with bright eyes.

Glory looked around, and the streets of Mondstadt from her childhood came into view again. "Barbara, Noelle, Ying, Paimon..."

She identified the four people by their knight's uniforms, priest's uniforms, and their voices.

"Am I... dreaming?" She no longer heard the sound of the piano, nor the gentle whisper... nor did she see the figure of the Sword Master of West Wind, His Highness the Godascendant.

……

Jiang Yi fell far behind on another street.

Holding a jade slip in his hand.

He was talking to Captain Qin about Goodwin, Gloria's lover.

The Knight of Favonius, a member of the expedition team led by Grand Commander Mondfalgar, did not leave Mond.

He fell behind because he lost Gloria's token when he set out.

Then, both the keepsake and the expedition left him...

He missed Gloria and wanted to go back to Mondstadt, but... he was unwilling to go back like this. He didn't want Goodwin, whom Gloria loved, to be a coward or a deserter.

Jiang Yi sighed and took back the jade slip.

Goodwin considers himself a useless man. All he can do now is stay in the Mondstadt Wilds to eliminate monsters and protect Mondstadt and Gloria to the best of his ability.

"You are indeed a...useless man!" he said.

The news has been given to Captain Qin, and the decision depends on Qin.

A gust of wind came down.

Wendy appeared next to Jiang Yi: "Why leave without enjoying the gratitude of someone who has gained hope?"

He took the xylophone and played the song that Jiang Yi had just sung.

"Because..." Jiang Yi curled his lips, "Of course I'm afraid that someone will fall in love with me! After all, I'm a thousand times more handsome than Fengshen Jiugui."

"Ha! That's too much. I'm the best bard and everyone loves me." Wendy said unconvinced.

Jiang Yi turned and left.

"Hey, don't go!" Wendy shouted from behind, "My lovely believer Barbara has given you a divine name, listen to it!"

Jiang Yi paused.

"Carrying many hopes, the miracle of the world and the sea of ​​stars... the man of miracles, the man without life..."

"The God of hope and miracles."

"Your Highness Jiang Yi!"
