Tevalin let out a roar of anger.
His entire body was racked with pain.
But most importantly, his mind hadn't caught up yet.
He did feel a tinge of guilt.
After all, he knew it was Mo Li who had saved him from his misery.
But as a former Wind God's retainer, how could he submit to a human?
Especially after being tormented for so many years, he craved freedom more than anything.
He had prepared himself mentally.
But he never expected this human to turn on him so quickly.
He was done for. It seemed like this time, he was really going to be killed.
Tevalin couldn't understand why humans today were so different from those in the past.
【Amber: No way, no way, he's really going to kill Tevalin?】
【Eula: If it were anyone else, I might hesitate, but with him, it's not impossible!】
【Fennin: But we went through all that trouble, finally rescuing Tevalin, now you're going to kill him? Don't you think that's a waste?】
【Alhaitham: But what would you gain by not killing him? You wouldn't get anything!】
Everyone fell silent, but none could speak.
In this short time, they had witnessed the Wind God's broken promise and Tevalin's betrayal.
Mo Li's actions were morally justified.
Poor Tevalin, he was likely to die at the hands of the Knights of Favonius today.
琴's face held a hint of reluctance. After all, he was once Mondstadt's guardian of the four winds.
She seemed to want to say something, but swallowed her words.
Mo Li must have his reasons, she'd better not go and disrupt him.
Diluc remained expressionless. At this moment, he was questioning his loyalty to the Wind God.
Having seen Mo Li's series of progressive reforms, he increasingly felt that Mondstadt's previous shortcomings were too severe.
"Wait! Wait!"
Seeing the Knights' attacks grow increasingly fierce, Tevalin finally subdued his proud demeanor.
But Mo Li didn't give the order to stop.
"Rip out his dragon tendons!"
"I can't come all this way for nothing!"
Everyone present felt their scalps tingle.
Tevalin's eyes instantly cleared.
"Wait, wait! Let's have one final settlement, it won't take long!"
Tevalin roared, finally losing his initial arrogance.
He couldn't imagine what it would feel like to have his tendons ripped out.
Mo Li finally dismissed the Knights of Favonius.
At this point, Tevalin posed no threat.
He approached, holding the Skyward Sword.
And Tevalin was already on his last legs.
Almost everyone stared at this behemoth.
The East Wind Dragon, who had fought his whole life, they were all curious to hear his final words.
Seeing everyone disperse, Tevalin's eyes became clearer.
Then, something unexpected happened.
The proud Tevalin finally lowered his massive head and pressed it to the ground.
It was a clear symbol of submission.
"I'm sorry, there were too many people!"
【Arataki Itto: Huh? You call that a final settlement?】
【Barbara: Wuwuwu! This isn't the East Wind Dragon we wanted, he's fallen! He's fallen!】
【Mondstadt Citizens: The people of Mondstadt will never forget this painful day!】
【Jean: Impossible! I don't believe Tevalin would...】
【Yae Miko: I believe the proud East Wind Dragon wouldn't submit to a threat to his life, but there's no way around it, Mo Li was going to rip out his tendons! If you were in his shoes, think about it, could you resist?】
Many of the critics shut their mouths.
Mo Li was truly capable of ripping out dragon tendons and peeling off dragon scales.
Forget it, Tevalin has suffered enough, let's not criticize him anymore.
Even Mo Li was taken aback.
He thought the other party would have some heroic words.
"I still like your rebellious attitude from the start."
"Why don't you recover?"
Tevalin didn't answer, just kept his head pressed to the ground.
He had no doubt that this man would kill him in the next second.
"Why bother? You wouldn't accept my offer!"
"A good retainer, but you insist on being a dog!"
Mo Li shook his head, withdrawing the previous retainer's mark.
He genuinely wanted to treat Tevalin as an equal.
After all, this dragon had contributed greatly to Mondstadt. He could easily be a protector of the kingdom.
But Tevalin had played a good hand poorly.
Now, he could only be a dog.
Then, a thick wind element surrounded Mo Li.
Compared to the previous gentleness, it seemed even more domineering.
The Slave Contract.
Tevalin was no longer worthy of being a retainer.
As soon as the mark landed, Tevalin trembled violently.
He wanted to resist, but he was afraid Mo Li would dismember him.
It was terrifying, terrifying. He had no doubt that this man would peel off his scales one by one for revenge.
This scene made everyone feel heavy.
【Mo Li: You all saw, he started it.】
【Barbara: If the Wind God knew this, he might be heartbroken!】
【Kaedehara Kazuha: He probably won't have the chance to be heartbroken. I'm afraid Mo Li will go after him next! After all, he broke his word first.】
【Amber: No matter what, the Wind God and Tevalin are both heroes of Mondstadt. Isn't this a bit too much?】
【Nahida: But in reality, all the positive changes in Mondstadt are due to Mo Li. The Wind God symbolizes freedom, but he has been inactive!】
【Diluc: If you stand from the perspective of the people of Mondstadt, then you can only say, we are saved!】
Venti couldn't say a word.
He was indeed in the wrong.
Mo Li may be brutal, but in terms of Mondstadt's development, you can't fault him at all.
Forget it, maybe letting him manage is a lucky thing.
Tevalin was clearly more subdued at this point.
From now on, he cut off all ties to his past.
Because Mo Li could take his life with a single thought.
"No, why?"
The yellow-haired figure in the sky stared with wide eyes.
He couldn't believe Tevalin had become a mount.
What about his unwavering pride? Wasn't he the guardian of the four winds?
What about his heroic efforts to rescue him?
Was it unpaid labor?
The yellow-haired figure no longer wanted to compare himself to Mo Li.
If Tevalin had resisted to the death, he might have felt better.
But now that Tevalin had submitted, it made him look like...
He sat on the ground in frustration, then his eyes fell on the sword symbolizing bravery at Scaramouche's waist.
The yellow-haired figure suddenly felt agitated.
He hadn't cared about these things before, but now...
Why?! They can be a Traveler, why can't I?
"What are you looking at? You wouldn't want to become a burden, would you?"
"I don't mind, I can give it to you anytime."
Scaramouche clearly noticed the yellow-haired figure's gaze.
He sneered, speaking with a casual tone.
"Okay, then give it to me!"
The yellow-haired figure answered without hesitation.
Scaramouche froze, utterly bewildered.
"Huh?"
"You weren't serious, were you?"
