Chapter 59

Thinking this way, at least everyone felt much better.

Especially after they shared this theory, many people hurriedly nodded.

Yes, yes, yes!

The Barbatos in reality definitely didn't have such a tragic experience.

He must have successfully defeated the Archon of Storms and become the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt!

Writing it this way in the novel was entirely to shape the poignant story of the Anemo Archon and the boy.

From the perspective of a story alone, this indeed elevated the overall melody of the narrative.

One has to admire that the story written by Master Ye Ruo is indeed quite brilliant and moving.

An epic poem full of tragedy and freedom!

Truly vast and magnificent!

And some people were also speechless.

They were previously guessing that Ye Ruo writing it this way was intended to reveal the boy's identity at the end.

To make everyone feel shocked.

As a result, who could have thought that this boy would actually die in battle?!!

They were proud of having guessed Master Ye Ruo's thoughts.

Now look at this.

A slap in the face.

Fortunately, this is just a story.

They didn't go around bragging about it, so it's not too embarrassing, thank goodness.

So, holding this thought, everyone looked at the remaining content.

What followed was about the same as what was sung in the poetry.

In order to allow the ancestors of Mondstadt at that time to have a more comfortable environment suitable for living in freedom, the Anemo Archon, Barbatos.

He played the strings and channeled his divine power to blow away all the ice and snow.

Then he split the mountains and leveled many high peaks.

He threw those mountain peaks into the sea.

Making the Mondstadt region increasingly flat, and warm breezes blew over this land; countless vitality and greenery began to sprout, and a brand-new Mondstadt appeared here.

In this way, the ice and hunger of the past would become the past, and people would welcome a life of freedom and beauty.

One has to sigh, this is the power of a god.

"613" Being able to easily change the terrain and determine the environment of a region.

Terrifying indeed.

Unlike most Mondstadt people, who can't even beat a Hilichurl and only know how to hold their heads and crouch when they encounter one.

And the tyrant's capital was no longer suitable for living, so the Anemo Archon led his subjects to an open area to build a majestic city of wind.

That is the current City of Mondstadt!

The Anemo Archon was also chanting.

[Let the new Mondstadt become a city of freedom, a nation where no one is king.]

[In the future, it will surely become a very beautiful and romantic city-state, right?]

Then the Anemo Archon whispered again.

[He would also hope to live in such a place, right?]

Seeing this, everyone's eyes were filled with tears.

Damn it.

Why is Master Ye Ruo still "stabbing" them?

And there is a section here that also moved everyone very much.

That is, beside the city's bonfire, those people of the Gunnhildr clan, led by their patriarch, drew the long swords at their waists and pointed them at the sky.

Then they made a vow that has been passed down to this day.

"Forever protect Mondstadt, forever protect the green plains, mountains, hills, and forests of Mondstadt; may it remain forever verdant!"

"Forever protect Mondstadt, no longer trapped by tyrant-like wind and snow, or wind and snow-like tyrants; may it be forever free!"

Their voices echoed in the night, echoed in this heaven and earth.

Even after such a long time, it will still be passed down in their blood, forever guarding Mondstadt.

That scene was truly too beautiful.

The initial vow, the initial will.

The Gunnhildr clan has kept it until now; they are truly worthy of the name.

They are the true guardian family of Mondstadt.

And the novel also wrote that the Anemo Archon imparted wisdom to the people of Mondstadt.

Brewing fine wine, building windmills, planting food—a series of actions—and then he left Mondstadt.

He did not want to be the ruler on the throne.

Mondstadt no longer needed, and absolutely did not want, a second tyrant.

Becoming a free city-state was enough.

Barbatos, walking in human form, was as mischievous as the wind, and as gentle as the wind.

He possessed the gentlest and noblest soul on this continent.

When seeing the words [End of Volume] below this text, everyone also showed a satisfied smile.

This is truly a brilliant story, a soul-shaking ancient legend.

I believe it won't be long before, once everyone has purchased this volume and read most of it, the City of Mondstadt will welcome a massive cheer and boom.

This story will definitely be a hit throughout Mondstadt!

Although it is already a massive hit.

Of course, the boy's story truly made everyone's hearts ache.

Such a good boy, yet he dissipated just like that at his most brilliant age.

Sigh, this is truly a regret that cannot be settled.

However, just as everyone was preparing to close the novel they had bought, they discovered that there was actually one more page stuck to it; if one wasn't careful, it would be easy to overlook.

Strange.

Could it be that the story isn't over yet?

Master Ye Ruo truly keeps everyone's anticipation at a point where they can't stop.

So some people hurriedly looked over.

They saw it written above.

[Hello, I am Ye Ruo, the creator of this novel. I am also very moved by the completion of this story.]

[So I specially created an extra short story, which is like a bonus; thank you all for your love.]

So everyone smiled with emotion.

As expected of Master Ye Ruo.

He is such a good person.

So many people read on.

The name of this short story is [A Little Story of the Anemo Archon].

It seems to be about the story of the Anemo Archon afterwards.

[After leaving Mondstadt, the Anemo Archon, Barbatos, played poetry and wandered between the green mountains and clear waters.]

[He rejoiced with birds, sang with rivers, played with animals, and merged into nature.]

[At night, as he counted the stars in the sky and was about to fall asleep in a daze, he suddenly subconsciously called out the boy's name, asking him to come and see this beautiful scenery together.]

[But as soon as he said it, he woke up instantly, his sleepiness gone.]

[Because he realized that the boy was already gone, and now only he remained.]

[The bird feather from back then was ultimately never seen by the boy, and was then worn by the Anemo Archon.]

[So the Anemo Archon revealed a sorrowful gaze, remaining silent for a long time.]

[Then he picked up the lyre the boy loved most again and played the song the boy liked most; the singing drifted into the distance, taking away his longing.]

["Fly, fly, just like a bird, fly to the high heavens in my place, and see the world better for me."]

[The Boy and the Anemo Archon, End.]

Everyone: ???

This made the smiles that had just appeared on many people's faces freeze instantly.
