Chapter 82: Lumine and Paimon

"Barbara, do you think the people of Mondstadt will resent the Anemo Archon because he hasn't appeared to protect them and eliminate the monsters?" Seeing Mu Yang asked while gazing at the great tree at Windrise.

"No, they won't!

Barbatos has already established a nation for us where no one claims to be king!

For so many years, Lord Barbatos has rarely appeared, and almost every time he has, it was to help us resolve difficulties we couldn't solve ourselves.

He doesn't ask us to do anything, but as the people of Mondstadt, how could we resent Lord Barbatos just because he hasn't appeared at a time like this?

Moreover, I believe Lord Barbatos must be watching over us all the time. When the time comes that it is absolutely necessary, Lord Barbatos will protect us. If he truly hasn't appeared, then it must mean that something has happened to Lord Barbatos!" Speaking of this, Barbara looked at Seeing Mu Yang with great worry: "

Seeing Mu Yang, do you think something has happened to Lord Barbatos!!

Otherwise, the ley lines of Mondstadt wouldn't be in such chaos. My sister told me before that the Stormterror is the Dragon of the East.

Perhaps it is precisely because something happened to Lord Barbatos that the Dragon of the East has become enraged."

Upon hearing this, Seeing Mu Yang silently looked at the sky. He felt that what Barbara said made so much sense that, for a moment, he didn't know how to refute her argument.

【Venti: "..."

Jean: "..."

Diluc: "..."

Ningguang: "The three of you, don't be anxious. This is just Barbara's speculation. You must believe that the Anemo Archon is fine!"

Zhong Li: "Generally speaking, it is indeed not easy for that guy to get into trouble."

Seeing Mu Yang: "At this moment, I don't even know how to explain it to Barbara. If I didn't know the truth, I would probably believe Barbara's argument too.

As expected of a perfect believer, she will take the initiative to find reasons for her own god."

Keqing: "I do not approve of the slackness of the people of Mondstadt. For the same amount of work, the people of Mondstadt need three times as much time as we people of Liyue.

However, I can understand the Anemo Archon's actions. A nation ruled by humans has many problems, but it seems everything is within his control.

It's just that the price paid during this period might be a bit high.

Although I really don't want to admit it, if it were the Geo Archon who let us enter human rule, I'm afraid that after a hundred years, existences like the Lawrence Clan would also appear."

Ningguang: "Keqing, you've grown up!!"

Keqing: "Hmph, I'm just a bit immature, and I also thought that all the Qixing loved Liyue as much as I do."

Seeing Mu Yang: "Actually, there's no need to keep whipping the corpse of the Lawrence Clan. If you're interested, you can investigate the situation in Inazuma. The Kanjou Commission and the Tenryou Commission are deceiving their superiors and oppressing their subordinates, blocking the channels of communication, and preying on the people, leaving the Raiden Shogun unable to know the true situation in Inazuma.

As for Sumeru, it goes without saying; the Sumeru Akademiya directly imprisoned the Dendro Archon..."

Keqing: "Imprisoning a god—is such a thing really possible? Even a weak god is still a god, right?"

Seeing Mu Yang: "They were just gaslit. When a god is just born and doesn't understand anything, everyone around says you are not a qualified god and need to learn. As a gentle god, one will gradually begin to doubt oneself."

Keqing: "The people of Sumeru are truly detestable!! But is it really right for a god to be humiliated like this?"

Seeing Mu Yang: "..."

Ningguang: "..."

Madame Ping: "..."】

Looking at the words in the chat group, Seeing Mu Yang also let out a soft laugh. Of course, everyone actually knew that Keqing was also a fan of the Geo Archon.

It was just that she thought she hid it very well.

But everyone knew, and at this moment, they had even started to imagine Keqing's ashamed and angry appearance.

Seeing Mu Yang expressed that it was great—who told Keqing to drag him to work last night without giving him any benefits!

However, at this moment, he still had to face Barbara's questioning. After pondering for a moment, he replied: "According to my understanding of this world, five hundred years ago, apart from the outbreak of the catastrophe, in fact, all the Seven Archons except the Dendro Archon participated in a war.

You can imagine the scale of a war that requires gods to participate, and the level of the opponents they encountered.

And after returning, the Anemo Archon needed Dvalin to fight the evil dragon Durin. I suppose that at that time, he was already very weak. Now, I'm afraid he is still in a deep sleep, right?"

"Is that so? I don't know how Lord Barbatos is doing!" Barbara breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this, her eyes filled with worry.

"Perhaps he is sleeping somewhere, or perhaps he has already awakened, transformed into some drunkard, silently watching over Mondstadt, and protecting Mondstadt in his own way!" Seeing Mu Yang said with a light laugh to comfort her.

Barbara looked at Seeing Mu Yang with slight indignation upon hearing this: "Mr. Seeing Mu Yang, how could Lord Barbatos become a drunkard?

If the believers heard you slandering Lord Barbatos, they would definitely attack you with words."

Seeing Mu Yang's gaze, however, became profound: "Barbara, I told you before that your eyes will deceive you.

I remember that the inventor of Mondstadt's wine is Barbatos, right! If he didn't like wine, why would he create it?"

"Eh?" Barbara nodded thoughtfully; it seemed this point was indeed true.

There was a legend that wine was invented by Lord Barbatos.

As a god, liking to drink wine didn't seem to be a problem, right?

Could it be that the way they worshipped Lord Barbatos in the past was wrong?

How about using Dandelion Wine the next time they worship Lord Barbatos?

The two walked towards Starfell Lake. Suddenly, Seeing Mu Yang felt a fluctuation of pure Anemo energy, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth—that guy had really come!

And beside the aura of Anemo energy, there was another aura that was very intimate and familiar to Seeing Mu Yang.

I suppose this must be Paimon!

As expected, this fellow Paimon came from Celestia, and it was also possible that she was related to those four shades.

It was just that now Phanes was gone, and he had become the new Heavenly Principles, inheriting almost everything of Phanes. It seemed very normal to feel a sense of intimacy towards Paimon.

I'm looking forward to it more and more, emergency food!
