Genshen: Starting from Liyue, he is equipped with the seals of the Six Kingdoms

The bottle cork was opened, and the smell of wine mixed with fruity and floral aromas floated out, entwining and filling the entire hall.

Diehlappian frowned, "What kind of wine is this?"

"Thousand Winds Wine is a kind of self-brewed wine made by the Mondstadt people. Because each household adds different materials into it, the taste of the wine is also strange. Although it cannot be sold, the common people of Mondstadt have always been interested in brewing this kind of wine. I never tire of it." A helpless smile appeared on Niyu's face, "Oh, by the way, this bottle of wine comes from Mondstadt 2600 years later, from a great plain called the Land of Wind."

"There is no such land in Mondstadt."

"It will be after you die."

"..."

"The new wind god used his supreme power to blow away the ice and snow of Mondstadt, flattened the mountains and threw them into the distant sea, creating a new Mondstadt that is the most suitable for human habitation among the seven mortal kingdoms. This is the history after your death."

Diehlappian was silent for a long time, then suddenly shook his head and said: "This is impossible. Even I don't have such powerful divine power that can change the terrain and climate of Mondstadt. Otherwise, I would have done so long ago."

Niwa did not refute, but nodded very seriously: "I think so too. 2600 years later, Andrius is dead, Istaru is missing, and the new Wind God Barbatos, that is, the Gunnhild family Although the Qianfeng Elf I believe in is a drunkard, he has a very strict mouth... Of course, I also have my own guesses, do you want to hear them?"

"of course."

Niyu found two stones from the ruins, whittled two stone bowls, filled them with Qianfeng's fine wine, pushed one of them towards Tiarapian, and then said: "The God of Wind transformed Mond after he ascended to the throne of God. Soon after, in other words, Barbatos, who was originally just a Thousand Wind Elf, is unlikely to grow to such an extent in a short period of time, unless he inherits certain powers."

"Combining Andrius' retreat and your death, I suspect that the power he inherited comes from you. Most of the power of the North Wind Wolf King belongs to the ice element system, so without your power, Barbatos would be impossible In a short period of time, you have grown to the point where you can transform Mondstadt. This is why I am sure that you did not spread your resentment towards Mondstadt, but instead fulfilled the new god of wind."

Diehlappian thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "Even if I combine all my power and Andrius's wind elemental power, I can't do what you said."

Niyu took a sip from the wine bowl and said with a smile: "This involves another guess. Barbatos fell into a long sleep after transforming Mondstadt. He only woke up three times in 2600 years. The third time he woke up was In my time. When he woke up for the third time, the power he showed was not even as good as the strongest among mortals."

"If he is really strong enough to transform the terrain of Mondstadt on a large scale, how could he be so weak? I don't believe that he is weak because he gave up ruling Mondstadt. The most reasonable explanation for this is that he is overdrawn. gained strength."

"I heard that the Grass God who rules Sumeru, King Daci Shu, also reduced to the size of a child due to overdraft of his power, so this speculation is not unfounded."

Diekarapian shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, your guess is wrong. I don't know the Great Merciful Tree King you are talking about, but the kind of degradation you mentioned is very similar to the characteristics of the grass element. Unfortunately, the God of the Wind Element There is no such ability.”

"I never said this was the ability of the Wind God himself." Niyu shook his head and said, "Don't forget, Barbatos is not the only god that the Gunnhild family believes in."

Diehlappian's body trembled, "Istaru?"

"Yes. My guess is that Istaru helped Barbatos borrow the power of thousands of years in the future! It was precisely because he squandered the power of the next thousands of years in one go that Barbatos had to sleep for a long time— —With that guy’s character, I don’t believe he would sleep with him voluntarily for thousands of years.”

"It is also because he has overdrawn his power for thousands of years. Even if he wakes up occasionally, he is not unable to use much power. It is not that he has no power, but that these powers have been lent to him thousands of years ago. Naturally, he is now Things that no longer exist.”

"That's why he calls himself the weakest among the seven gods, and why he hasn't looked at Mondstadt for thousands of years. As a god with a free personality, he is willing to give up thousands of his own money for Mondstadt's freedom and happiness. Years of freedom and happiness, without even having to drink my favorite wine..."

Diekalapian was stunned for a long time, and finally lowered his head and said: "Is He actually willing to do this for mankind? Compared with him, everything I have done is really nothing... but I am still not willing to give in! It's obviously me. I protected everyone! Why did they betray me!"

Niwa shook his head slightly, repeated the theory about the "Malthusian Trap" that he had told Patriarch Lawrence, and finally sighed: "No one betrayed you, Diego Rapian. People started praying to you a long time ago, but Your arrogance prevents you from listening to people's prayers, and you only care about giving people the happiness you imagine. Because of this, people have to embark on the road of resistance. In the end, everyone only opposes for the sake of survival. you."

Diehlappian was speechless and said to himself in despair: "How could this happen? That was not my intention... I love everyone fairly..."

"Of course I believe you, Dickapian. But as a ruler, love alone is not enough... You need to stand higher than everyone else, see further, and listen to people's opinions. You can't just treat them the way you think is good... not to mention that humans are never perfect creatures. They need guidance, encouragement, and education, just like parents treat their children."

Diehlappian looked disappointed, "Would you like to hear my explanation?"

"of course."

Dikalapian looked into the depths of the gray mist, as if staring at the Gale King Capital, "I am not strong enough, and I don't have the help of time to govern. The limit I can do is to build a wind wall to protect everyone here. ...and all this is not without cost. Have you also seen the strong wind around me? The strong wind blurred my vision, made me unable to hear, and almost made me deaf and blind. This is the price of maintaining the Wall of Sighs... Over time, I almost forgot how to communicate with people..."

Niyu said in astonishment: "Everyone calls you the Lone King of the Tower because you never respond to people's prayers. Is it because..."

"That's it...yes, this is because I can't hear people's prayers at all. Only the powerful storm priest can occasionally transmit some intermittent words. Because I am worried that the storm around the main body will harm the people, I rarely leave the tower. , even when I receive my subjects, it is only through the phantom in the hall. I just left a creed to the storm priests before being trapped, such as protecting humans without distinction, and fairly distributing land and food to everyone..."

I see! Turns out all of this was just a coincidence of fate! The cost of protecting humans is being imprisoned by the storm!

It's a pity that he failed to predict that human beings would multiply rapidly and the land in Gale King's capital would become barren. He only thought that everything would remain unchanged forever! So after thousands of years, human beings whose population finally reached a critical value finally inevitably launched a resistance, which led to today's tragedy!

Niyu, who wanted to understand all this, couldn't help but sighed: "I can't blame you... you have done a good enough job."

Diakrapian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What's the point of discussing right and wrong now? Maybe fate just arranges for me to protect the Mondstadt people for a while..."

"Thousands of years are long enough. You have protected many people for a lifetime."

Diehlappian was slightly relieved, "Thank you for your comfort. Since my time is over, let me protect Mondstadt for the last time..."

As he said that, he looked up into the depths of the gray mist and said loudly: "Istaru, I am willing to give all my strength!"

A misty voice sounded from nowhere.

"Thank you, Diehlappian."

Diego Karapian smiled brightly, picked up the stone bowl, drank the Qianfeng wine in one gulp, and grinned, "It's so bitter...the brewer put too many dandelions in it!"

"So I stopped drinking after just one sip... That guy always pays attention to quantity rather than quality when it comes to drinking." Niwa said with a smile.

He stole the Thousand Winds wine that a certain bard had buried in Fengqi Land for five hundred years. At first, he was just annoyed that he kidnapped the emperor and wandered around, leaving the huge Mondstadt to his care. Who knew that Mengzi was good at drinking wine? Yes, I am very good at brewing wine...

Diehlappian's face was full of questions, but he quickly put this doubt to the back of his mind. The vast wind elemental power flowed out of his body and flew into the depths of the gray mist.

His figure became fainter and fainter, until he was about to disappear completely, and then he suddenly asked: "Do you think people have really loved me?"

Niyu nodded heavily, "Of course. At least the ancestors of those people have sincerely loved you."

"I hope so..."

Dickapian's last words disappeared into the depths of the gray mist, like a whisper.
