Chapter 152 The Gift of the Statue, the Wind Brings Sound

there,

Jiang Yi waited until nightfall before starting to climb the statue of the God of Wind in Mond Square.

With a sprint, he stepped on the robe of the Barbatos statue and flipped it from the back to the shoulders of the statue.

Walk steadily across the arms of the statue and sit in the palms of its outstretched hands.

As the night wind blows, Mondstadt's central and lower town areas are visible.

The moon was high in the sky, and the Fruit Wine Lake was reflecting the starlight.

The mountains and towns in the distance are hazy.

A blue transparent glass ball, surrounded by mist, with a small whirlwind condensing inside.

"The scenery here is nice, right?" Wendy's voice came from the glass ball.

Jiang Yi, who was thinking about whether to swallow the ball or crush it, looked up and around.

I called out to Wendy, but got no response.

"A message in advance?" Jiang Yi looked at the glass ball.

"Are you excited about the gift from the Wind God?"

"You are the swordsman who escaped from the dragon's mouth. Let me give you the reward that a hero deserves!"

"How about giving you the gift of being able to drink a thousand cups without falling?"

"At the banquet, you are always the protagonist who stands till the end."

Jiang Yi curled his lips. What's the use of this talent? I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

Although this blessing is in line with the character of an alcoholic spirit, if the gift is this, I will be rude next time.

"Kidding!"

"Being drunk is the most comfortable moment! I don't want to deprive you of this rare experience."

"I can't grant you the Eye of God and make you a God qualified to go to Sky Island, nor can I let you control the power of elements like the Hill Chow people!"

"So, I got an idea when I saw the 'Divine Protection of the Spring Spirit' on you."

"Take it! My first gift is for the growth of your physical strength, to make up for your regret of not being able to complete my trial by collecting the Wind God's Pupils and obtain the gift of the Seven-Day Statue."

Jiang Yi discovered that the statue's palms were glowing.

A mysterious power emanated from the statue under his feet and flowed into his body.

After shaking hands, I feel stronger and more endurance.

"The veins of the earth and the breath of life!" Jiang Yi was very familiar with this power of Teyvat.

It is one of the few powers that he can sense and absorb.

"The second gift..."

The cyan glass ball floated up and landed between Jiang Yi's eyebrows.

A pattern of wind element covered Jiang Yi's face, with its small wings spread out to both sides.

At the end of the wings, blue light fills the ears.

It transformed into a pair of pointed, illusory, long elf ears, merged into ordinary human ears, and disappeared from Jiang Yi's senses.

I subconsciously touched it with my hand, and there was no pointed earlobe.

"I gave you new ears so that the wind can find you and you can listen to the voices in the wind."

"In the three thousand meters of open palms, poetry floats, secretly entering the ears, and invisible messengers convey the complex human heart."

"Where there is no wind, the messenger loses his voice; where there is a storm, the messenger sings in a low voice."

"Under the God's favor, no one can discover your listening, and no one can stop the messenger of the wind."

Two gusts of wind blew into his ears, and Jiang Yi moved his ears flexibly.

The wind brings endless chirping of insects, birds and human voices...the world's chorus plays in my mind.

He listened attentively, as if he were in a football stadium, surrounded by noisy and cheering spectators.

"Quack quack!"

"Squeak!"

"Gulu...Gulu..."

"...new bomb formula..."

"Lord Wind God, please forgive me!"

"A-choo! I have a cold!"

"Treasure! I'm rich!"

"Jiang Yi, haven't you returned to the dormitory yet?"

The brain works at high speed, processing the chorus of the world.

The sound changes from noisy to single, from fuzzy to clear, as attention is focused.

"Low-profile, super-ears?" Jiang Yi thought of an immortal's magical power.

"Wendy, you're being generous this time!"

"Wait, the ears he gave me are so good, can his own ears hear his conversation with the Abyss Mage that day? Was he in the city that day?"

Jiang Yi instantly began to recall the past.

I met the Abyss Mage on the day when I was born with true qi. After I was born with true qi, I became a scout knight. When I came back to buy a sword blank, I met Venti.

During that time, was Wendy out looking for the Wind Dragon?

Do you know?

After frowning and thinking for a long time, Jiang Yi simply gave up.

"Forget it. It doesn't matter if he knows. I didn't do any harm to Mondstadt!"

"Everything we do is to infiltrate the Abyss Cult and dismantle this evil organization that is full of hostility towards the human world."

"Wendy, a drunkard, might not pay serious attention to this kind of news."

No longer scaring himself, Jiang Yi stood up and jumped directly from the palm of the Wind God statue.

The wind rises,

Wendy stood by the oak tree, stroking her chin.

"The wind is rising. Have you used my gift yet?"

"In the past the rock god opened eyes, and now the wind god creates ears."

"How can the most important bard and mysterious protector be missing from the legendary poems?"

"Vanessa, are you okay on Sky Island?"

The wind blew gently, and the leaves of the oak trees rustled.

"Noel, are you looking for me?" After returning to the dormitory of the Knights of Favonius, Jiang Yi immediately looked for Noel to verify the magical power of Shunfenger to see if what he heard was true.

"Jiang Yi, haven't you returned to the dormitory yet?" This sentence should have been said by Noel!

"Hey! How did you know? Did Kaeya tell you?" Noel, who was cleaning the dormitory of the Knights of Favonius, asked in surprise.

Although she was moving towards her goal of "becoming a knight who leads others", she did not give up her work as a maid.

It’s just that she was just a maid before, but now she is a knight experiencing life.

A little help and helpfulness can brighten her mood.

"Well...I guessed!" Jiang Yi answered vaguely.

"Ying and Paimon are out of town, and they may not come back to the dormitory these days. What do you want from me?"

Noel is considered to be a half-dormitory manager of the Knights of Favonius, and sometimes he would register the guests, so Jiang Yi helped Ying to tell him.

"Oh!" Noelle nodded.

"Bennett and Fischl are looking for you!"

"The abominable dragon harmed the people of the Pure Land of the Dark Night. The resin that condensed the essence fell into the holy temple of this princess. The lost summer palace spirit garden and the ancient consecrated altar are full of adventurous experiences. They will forge our former glory and retrieve the divine power placed in the earth veins."

Noelle repeated Fischl's complicated words.

The serious expression, coupled with Fischl's immature words, made Jiang Yi's mouth curl up wildly.

"It's amazing that you could remember every word!"

"To the Midsummer Courtyard, huh?"

"I agreed!"

"It's time to change the set of holy relics!"

"If we form a team, there are only three of us, Fischl, Bennett, and I. You can come along too!"

"We had some experience defeating the Frost Tree last time, so this time we should be able to defeat the monster more smoothly!"

"Although the team's attributes don't quite restrain the monsters inside, with shields and healing, we won't be hurt too much."

Jiang Yi invited Noel.

"We must set out as quickly as possible and return before the Knights find a way to restore the Wind Dragon's sanity."
