Chapter 46
The Gentle Barbatos

【Venti: Mr. Zhongli is amazing, he knows everything】

【Zhongli: Where, I only have a slight knowledge, compared to the Anemo Archon, Barbatos, I am still far behind】

Shenhe saw Muchen chuckling to himself, not knowing what he was laughing at.

Both Zhongli and Venti knew each other's identities, and they were deliberately saying this to each other.

Everyone unlocked the three seals of the mechanism.

The path to the final battle was open, and to end everything, they returned to the entrance of the ruins.

Venti: "I was thinking, after everything is over, I'll put this all into a song. This song will be like "The Ballad of Wynnesborough," and be sung by the people of Mondstadt, right?"

Jean: "I've always loved that song since I was a child."

Diluc's reason for coming here was trust.

Jean's reason was responsibility.

And Venti's was freedom.

Venti: "Mondstadt is a romantic city-state without a king. And the citizens of Mondstadt are the freest in the Seven Nations. I hope the dragon who once protected Mondstadt will also be—"

"Wuuu wuuu!"

"Barbatos is so kind."

"Barbatos."

【Barbara: Barbatos!】

Venti then explained that the wind he used during the last battle against Dvalin was his own.

The battle is about to begin!

The barrage of comments were getting tense, with the Traveler and everyone else going up against Dvalin.

Flying through the wind, Venti activated the power of the wind, thus opening the wind wings for continuous flight.

Venti: "There are two glowing spots on Dvalin! They are the congealed poison blood in his wounds!"

They needed to clear the poisoned blood while dodging Dvalin's attacks.

Destroy the first poison blood on his back.

Dvalin charged into the Stormterror's Lair, and everyone followed onto the platform, to fight Dvalin again.

【Amber: This looks so intense】

【Lisa: With Jean and Diluc Master here, there won't be any problems】

【Barbara: Barbatos is still here】

【Paimon: And we are here too】

【Muchen: Little Paimon, you are invisible, where did you hide】

The entire Stormterror's Lair felt like a rotating eye of the storm, the sky was dark and stormy, and the wind was raging.

A high-speed wind bomb attacked, everyone jumped and dodged.

In the rotating storm, Dvalin appeared, forming a canopy, forcing them to face Dvalin directly on the platform.

Directly facing each other.

Jean and Diluc were responsible for attracting the dragon, they had Venti's wind buff, making them very fast, while the Traveler was responsible for attacking the final poisoned blood of Dvalin.

The enraged Dvalin unleashed the "Finale."

They jumped to another platform.

The buildings in the Stormterror's Lair were destroyed.

As the Traveler cleared the second poisoned blood, Dvalin's entire body seemed to lose consciousness and crashed down, smashing the entire platform.

【Ningguang: Danger】

【Kaedehara Kazuha: With Venti-sama here, there's no problem】

Paimon: "This place is about to collapse!"

The entire high-altitude ruins collapsed, everyone fell down.

"Aaaah!"

"Danger!"

"They fell!"

The barrage of comments in the public live stream were all screaming.

At that moment.

The roar of the dragon.

【Kachina: Dvalin is coming!】

【Marani: Dvalin is flying over!】

In an instant, Dvalin lifted everyone up and carried them away, flying high into the sky, away from the danger zone.

"Wow!"

"So fast!"

"Dragons will always be friends."

"The Natlan people are excited."

"The Natlan people love dragons."

"Dragons are companions and family."

Everyone opened their eyes, all sitting on Dvalin's back, flying high in the bright sky.

Venti lay on Dvalin's back, gently stroking him: "It's been a long time since we flew together like this."

Dvalin: "Earlier, why didn't you ask me to guard like before?"

Venti: "I don't want you to obey the Abyss, but that doesn't mean you have to obey me, Dvalin. Freedom dictated by a god is also a kind of unfreedom."

"Wuu wuu."

"The Anemo Archon is so kind."

"He is so kind."

"I thought he was just a lazy drunkard."

"Don't underestimate any god."

Venti infused Dvalin with Anemo power.

Dvalin: "Is this the power of the Anemo Archon's 眷属? But I am no longer a Four Winds Guardian."

Venti: "Even without that title, didn't you still protect us? From now on, with my blessings, fly even more freely."

【Barbara cried tears of joy】

Everyone in the Mondstadt Church was moved.

Of course, in the Angel's Share tavern, the drunkards were happily clinking their glasses.

"Well done, Barbatos!"

"Hahaha, the real Stormterror problem is solved, let's go back to drinking!"

"The problem is solved, Diluc Master will treat us."

【Kaeya: @Diluc, the barrage is calling for you to treat】

【Diluc: Hmph, the matter is settled, celebration is naturally no problem】

【Yae Miko: Shadow, look at other people's 眷属】

【Raiden Shogun: ???】

The scene switches to the Knights of Favonius headquarters.

Jean was writing a notice for the whole city, clarifying the end of the dragon disaster to the citizens, announcing the resolution of the incident.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the dragon disaster came suddenly and disappeared just as suddenly, leaving many questions.

On the screen, Dvalin flew over Mondstadt City.

The scene of the Traveler and Paimon flying with the wind of freedom, Diluc in the alleyway.

"Now everyone in Mondstadt knows."

"All of Teyvat knows."

Originally thought that things had come to an end.

The scene changed again, outside Mondstadt City.

Amber crossed her arms: "It's you! The honorary knights are returning triumphantly!"

【Amber: I appeared】

【Collei: Amber is here】

Amber: "Jean has already told everyone about your deeds."

Amber was here doing post-battle work.

Nearby monsters attacked Mondstadt City, and the Knights of Favonius were organizing defense.

Amber: "We speculate that the Abyss Order is behind this."

"That damned Abyss Order."

"Dvalin is rescued, but they are still making moves."

The Traveler chatted with some Mondstadt people in Mondstadt City, learning their opinions on the Stormterror.

The optimistic Mondstadt people were still in good spirits, hoping that the shops would be repaired quickly.

Finally, they met Kaeya and Lisa, who were ordering food at the Hunt.

Especially Kaeya.

Everyone was busy, but he was here: "To see the truth, my decision is to wait — to wait and observe their further actions."

Seeing Amber, Kaeya slipped away after finishing his words.

【Amber: Kaeya is just being lazy】

After eating delicious food with Amber, she suddenly remembered: "Jean is waiting for you at the church, it seems to be about the Skyward Harp... you should go there quickly."

Here it is, the Skyward Harp is broken.
