Chapter 50

"Even if the real Anemo Archon might not have had such a boy, for the Anemo Archon in this novel, this was undoubtedly his happiest time."

Many female residents of Mondstadt were also deeply moved.

They hugged the novel and bloomed with sweet smiles.

"Even in a cage, one can still give birth to such a will to pursue freedom. This is a miracle brought by the Anemo Archon!"

"Our Mondstadt is exactly like that—a free and beautiful city-state."

"I believe that after that, this boy must have been able to see the sea of flowers in bloom, and must have been able to see the birds return!"

"There is just one thing that is very strange. When Lord Ye Ruo wrote about this boy, why did he always write 'unknown'? He wouldn't even give him a name, seriously."

Regarding this matter, quite a few people expressed their complaints.

After all, he is the other protagonist who met the Anemo Archon, right?

As a result, he doesn't even have a name. Is this really okay?

It's too perfunctory.

How could he do this!

Regarding this point, of course, it was intentional by Ye Ruo, because he didn't know what the boy's name was either, so he simply couldn't be bothered to give him one.

Let's just go with the unknown boy.

It's convenient and saves trouble.

As for Venti?

That name belongs to the wind spirit itself.

【Wind Spirit Venti】.

As a life form condensed from the ultimate elements, they all have self-awareness.

For example, those Oceanids, they also have their own names.

【Oceanid Rhodeia】.

Besides, in his past life, Ye Ruo had already noticed that the name Venti represents too many meanings.

Venti = wind. The wind spirit's name is Wind (Venti); Venti is what the Romans called the wind god, derived from the Greek wind god Anemoi.

It is the Latin word for wind and is also the wind god in Roman mythology.

This name was originally meant to correspond to the Anemo Archon.

To be precise, it is the standard meaning of wind.

And not the name of that boy.

Because Venti only borrowed the appearance of his former friend, but the name was not borrowed along with it.

As for Barbatos, that only came after he became a god.

At the very beginning, it was stated very clearly that the wind spirit Venti at that time was just a tiny elemental spirit in the wind, without the status of a Demon God.

Naturally, he had no Demon God name.

And Venti, who also saw these contents, suddenly fell into silence.

His expression changed.

It seemed as if he was reminiscing, and it also seemed as if he was feeling sentimental.

He even closed his eyes.

After a long while, he opened his eyes.

Then he stretched out a hand to feel the breeze currently drifting through Mondstadt, and a dandelion fell onto Venti's hand.

The wind had risen.

Then his gentle voice rang out here.

"Your story can still ring out in Mondstadt thousands of years later. If only you could hear the laughter of these people, how wonderful that would be."

"We have always believed that no matter how severe the difficulties, nothing can stop the free wind."

At this moment, a strange breeze suddenly picked up, leaving the residents of Mondstadt puzzled.

What's going on? Why did the wind get a bit stronger?

Only Ye Ruo noticed it with surprise.

And Venti, who was standing on a street.

He was walking slowly, then he returned to his previous expression and revealed a smile.

"Not simple at all, Mobile Corps Commander. The information you've mastered is quite something."

"But I must also thank you for letting the people of Mondstadt revisit this long-lost history. Perhaps they all think this is a story you fabricated."

"By the way, I have to find a way to get some benefits from you. After all, it looks like you've made a fortune!"

"So much fine wine from the Angel's Share tavern—just thinking about it is unbearable."

For a moment, Venti turned back into that mischievous drunkard.

After all.

Life still has to go on!

He had lived for so long that he had long since seen through it all.

And everyone else continued to watch the novel with full concentration.

【The wind spirit and the boy spent more time together. Because the boy had never seen a flying bird, the wind spirit promised him to go outside and bring back the feathers of a hawk.】

【And during this time, perhaps the boy's hope infected more people, or perhaps the wind that could bring a tiny turning point and hope had truly arrived.】

【Or perhaps the people could no longer endure the oppression of this tyrant.】

【Quite a few people in Mondstadt began to raise the banner of freedom, intending to resist the tyrant and welcome a true future!】 ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
