Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 132 Rescuing the Wind Demon Dragon

After hearing what Lin Qiong said, Wendy fell into a brief silence.

He originally intended to keep his identity as the wind god Barbatos a secret forever.

after all.

Mondstadt, as a free city, does not inherently need the jurisdiction of gods, and its residents should continue to enjoy their current unrestricted lives.

Therefore, in order to maintain the status quo of Mondstadt, the fewer people who know His true identity, the better.

“Sigh, no need. As you said, I am indeed Barbatos, the god of wind.” Wendy sighed helplessly and nodded in acknowledgment.

Seeing that Wendy admitted her identity so quickly, Lin Qiong's face showed a hint of surprise.

He originally thought that he would need to have some back-and-forth conversation or use the photos in March 7's possession to get Wendy to open up, but he did not expect that the other party would so decisively reveal her identity.

Lin Qiong shrugged, a faint smile on his lips: "Wouldn't it have been better to admit it sooner? Lord Barbatos, I'm not going to reveal your identity."

"Putting that aside for now, how exactly did you know about the existence of the Heart of God?" Wendy ignored Lin Qiong's teasing and asked in a serious tone.

Generally speaking, in the long history of Teyvat, when the ancient and powerful Daedric Lords went through countless battles and rose to become the Seven Rulers, they would obtain the Heart of God, which carries part of their power and authority.

Only the demons who became the seven ruling gods knew of the existence of the Heart of God.

Yet Lin Qiong, who doesn't even have the Eye of God, can easily reveal this secret that only the Seven Gods know.

This undoubtedly stirred up Wendy's inner doubts.

"Oh, that? I heard it from the Fools."

Hearing Wendy's question, Lin Qiong, without batting an eye, pushed forward the scapegoat position he had already decided on.

Although he said that, he silently thought to himself, "I'm sorry, ma'am, you'll have to take the blame for this."

Lin Qiong really wanted to know how Zhi Dong, the Ice Goddess, would continue her grand plan if she couldn't gather all the Hearts of God.

Therefore.

Lin Qiong then conceived the idea of ​​using fine wine as a bargaining chip to obtain the Heart of God from Wendy.

"The Fools?" Wendy frowned slightly upon hearing this, and asked Lin Qiong again with some doubt, "Are you sure you heard this from the Fools?"

“That’s right. I also know that they are secretly plotting to seize your Heart of God.” Lin Qiong nodded and replied, feigning seriousness.

"So, instead of letting them get it for free, why not use the Heart of God to exchange for a bottle of wine with me? What do you think?"

Lin Qiong raised the bottle in his hand and waved it in front of Wendy, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

"...this"

Upon hearing this, Wendy lowered her head in silence, her fingertips gently stroking the strings of the harp, as if weighing the pros and cons of the suggestion.

however.

Seeing that Wendy was still hesitant, Lin Qiong immediately decided to increase the stakes he had offered.

"How about this, I'll also help you solve the problem of the Stormterror going berserk. In exchange for a bottle of fine wine and this small favor, how about your Heart of God? What do you think of this deal?"

"What!?" Wendy looked up abruptly, a flicker of emotion crossing her eyes. "You can solve this problem?"

Dvalin is inexplicably in a frenzy, frequently launching attacks on the areas surrounding Mondstadt, a problem that has indeed been troubling Wendy for a long time.

As the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, He witnessed Dvalin transform from a guardian into a threat to Mondstadt, filling Him with struggle and sorrow.

"...Can you really free Dvalin from his pain?" Wendy stared intently at Lin Qiong and asked seriously.

"Of course, I'm confident I can restore it to its calm without harming it." Lin Qiong smiled confidently and nodded in response.

Dvalin's biggest problem right now is that the poisonous blood in his body is constantly eroding his sanity and that he is being controlled by the Abyss Order.

Faced with this situation, others might feel helpless, but for Lin Qiong, who possesses the Black Abyss White Flower, rescuing Dvalin is an incredibly simple matter.

“If you can truly save Dvalin,” Wendy said earnestly, “I am willing to give you the Heart of God.”

After receiving a satisfactory reply, Lin Qiong smiled slightly.

Looking up, I met Wendy's determined eyes and felt her unwavering belief in saving Dvalin.

"In that case, consider this bottle of wine as an advance payment for the Heart of God. I will come back to you after everything is settled."

After leaving those words, Lin Qiong gently placed the wine bottle on the table.

Before Wendy could answer, he turned around and, with Xing by his side, strode toward his companions standing at the bar without looking back.

Wendy was left alone in a corner of the tavern, staring at the bottle on the table with a complicated expression, lost in thought...

Just as Lin Qiong and Xing returned to the crowd.

March 7th approached them with a curious look, eagerly asking, "Where did you two run off to just now?"

"Oh, I was just wandering around the tavern and met a strange customer over there, so I chatted with him for a bit."

Lin Qiong shrugged in response, while pointing to the corner where he had just been talking to Wendy.

"A strange guest?" March 7 looked in the direction Lin Qiong was pointing, puzzled. "No one."

She didn't see the guest Lin Qiong had mentioned; she only saw a lone wine glass on the table, reflecting a faint light under the dim lamplight.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong glanced over there and immediately noticed that Wendy and the bottle of wine on the table had disappeared.

So he couldn't help but think to himself, "This guy... walks pretty fast."

Sudden.

Amber's voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

"Oh! Really, I almost forgot." She slapped her palm, a look of annoyance on her face. "I have to hurry back to the Knights' headquarters to report!"

"You should get some rest and recharge your energy. I'll take you to see Commander Qin first thing tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Amber hurriedly waved goodbye to everyone and then left the tavern in a hurry.

at the same time.

Walter Young, who had just finished his conversation with Charles, turned around and slowly said to everyone, "I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting. Let's go upstairs first. I have something to say."
