Chapter 20: Mond's Narrative, the Lonely King, the Wind, and His People.
Barbara sat in Columbia's arms, Qin sat quietly beside her, and Columbia held a picture book and told the story in it.
"Long ago, Mondstadt was surrounded by snow and wind, and thick dark clouds blocked out the sun. People struggled to survive in the oppressive and harsh environment, and the king on the high tower blocked the snow and wind."
"But at the same time, it also blocks the free will. The king in the tower does not negotiate with his people and does not understand what they need."
“He thought that it was enough for him to block the wind and snow for them and give them a place to breathe in the harsh environment. But his people didn’t think so. One day a bard stood up.”
"The poets asked the king to go out. The poets wanted to pursue the will called freedom. But what they didn't know was that the king never forbade them to leave. The wind wall separated not the people, but the wind, snow and cold."
"Foolish and ignorant people pointed their swords at their own king. What's funny is that the tower that could not be destroyed by wind and snow was destroyed by weak humans. The power released when the demon died could destroy everything around it, but how could He, who loved his people so much, bear to hurt them?"
"Even when his own people drew their swords against him, he did not resist. He passed all his divine power to the wind spirit who accompanied the rebels, helping him become the wind god Barbatos."
"With the king gone, the Wind Wall dissipated, and the snowstorm ravaged Mondstadt. The snowstorm and severe cold took away countless lives. Only then did people remember the goodness of the king and the Wind Wall. But all this was their own fault."
"Barbatos, the God of Wind, has raised the wind wall again. In the late stage of the Demon War, weak demons had no choice but to become followers or die. The East Wind Dragon came to Barbatos and was willing to bow down to the God of Wind."
"And the demon god of wind and snow, the North Wind Wolf King—Andrius, wandered away alone after helping humans defeat the king. No one knows where he went, but we only know that when he came back, he seemed to have lost a lot of strength."
"Andrius integrated his power into this land, letting his consciousness protect Mondstadt forever. Barbatos blew away the snow, flattened the mountains and threw them into the sea."
"From then on, Mondstadt was no longer covered in snow and cold, but was filled with the breath of freedom."
Columbia did not continue speaking here, because the two children, one big and one small, had fallen asleep. Columbia covered them with quilts, got out of bed and came to Mazeren.
"Are they asleep?" Mezeren asked.
Columbia nodded and reached out to touch Mazeren's face.
"Isn't the story over yet?"
Columbia nodded, but she didn't intend to tell the rest of the story because it was Mond's dark history.
Compared to the picture books sold by Mond that praise the achievements of the God of Wind and deliberately smear history, what she has in her hands is the truth.
"Diakarabian, another tragic demon. Columbia, why do demons love people?"
Columbia thought about it carefully, then answered.
"A long, long time ago, Teyvat was ruled by dragons. After Phanes, the original king of the First Throne, came to Teyvat, he fought a great battle with the Dragon King. Phanes was victorious and created the laws and the human and fairy races."
"The fairy clan?!"
"Yes, we are all children of the First Throne, just like humans. Our relationship is similar to that of a sister and brother. The sister teaches the younger brother and guides him in his studies and philosophy."
"However, with the arrival of the Second Throne, everything changed. The great war broke out and the earth and sky collapsed. In the end, the throne and the throne disappeared, and we were abandoned by the gods and turned into our original form without consciousness."
"But we don't hate the gods for abandoning us. We just want an answer, but as time goes by, hope is ground down and dissipated bit by bit, and eventually hatred arises."
"I looked at my people scattered around the world. They looked so dull. They were once just like humans, but ended up like this. I hate it."
Columbia said she hated him, but there was still a smile on her face. Maizeron felt distressed and hugged Columbia in his arms, and Columbia leaned on his chest.
"I will be with you until the end of time."
Late at night, every household in Mondstadt turned off the lights, and a melodious piano sound urged the people of Mondstadt to sleep.
There was a figure held in the palm of the hand of the wind god statue in the church square. Wendy plucked the strings of the piano, and the notes blew into the window with the wind, bringing them a good dream.
But the notes were blocked by the singing when they were at Columbia and Mezeren's windows, and Wendy shook her head.
"Do you hate me so much? Little girl, I am also the God of Wind after all~"
"Forget it, don't be angry. I'm leaving. Isn't it okay for me to leave?"
Wendy turned into a wisp of breeze and disappeared, and when he reappeared, he had already arrived at the territory of Liyue.
"Alas, I am probably the most unsuccessful god. I was actually kicked out of my own home. No, if I am kicked out, how can Morax sleep peacefully?"
It is said that on that night, Ganyu and the crowd who stayed up late to work overtime saw a bright star falling in the direction of Ao Zang Mountain.
The next day, Mazeren was finally able to go shopping with Columbia.
While eating, a knight came to Ivy in a panic and said something to her ear. Simon and Ivy hurried out.
Before leaving, he asked Columbia and Mazeren to help look after Jean and Barbara, and then he took them out with him.
"To be honest, I haven't really gone shopping in Mondstadt these days."
Mazeren was walking in the market, holding Barbara and holding the zither.
“It's a nice place with delicious food.”
"Then, Columbia, just enjoy your life here and leave the work to me."
Columbia nodded, Qin tugged at the corner of Mazeren's clothes, and Mazeren squatted down.
"Brother Meizelen, I want to taste that."
Maizeron looked in the direction Qin pointed and saw a Liyue stall. The stall owner was making sugar figures, and many adults and children had gathered around.
"Sugar man? Although your mother has told you not to, it should be okay to eat it once in a while."
Maizeren brought the three children to the stall owner. Since the sugar men had never appeared in Mond before, no one came forward to buy them, which made it convenient for Maizeren.
"Boss, three sugar men."
Seeing that there was more business, the stall owner hurried to entertain the customers and took out the turntable.
"Do you want it made to order or on a turntable?"
Maizeron looked at Columbia and Qin, and they chose the turntable without any surprise.
"I'll go first~"
Columbia turned the turntable, and it spun rapidly, and finally the pointer stopped at the pattern of a flying bird.
"It's my turn, it's my turn, Brother Meizelen, it's my turn!"
Qin was very excited and turned the turntable very hard. Soon the turntable stopped on the dandelion pattern.
"Dandelion? It doesn't seem as big as a bird..."
Qin was visibly depressed, and people around her couldn't help but laugh when they saw it.
"Don't worry, little girl. You won't lose any more. We do business with integrity, so just wait and see."
The stall owner put two spoons of heated syrup on the iron plate, and under the stall owner's painting, a large dandelion appeared on the iron plate.
The stall owner took out a bamboo stick and placed it on the dandelion. After the syrup cooled down, he used a scraper to scrape the entire dandelion off the iron plate and put it into Qin's hands.
Qin looked at the dandelion that was as big as her face, stuck out her tongue and licked it, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Delicious! Brother Meizelen, Sister Columbia, this is delicious!"
Columbia touched Qin's head and smiled.
Soon Columbia's bird was ready. When he was about to leave, Mazeren noticed a blue-haired girl in the corner staring at him intently, but from her clothes she didn't look like an ordinary citizen.
Meizelen was a little curious, but didn't think much about it.
After a day of strolling, Mazeren returned to Gunhild's house with his three children. As soon as he entered the door, he saw two people with serious faces.
It was unknown what Ivy and Simon were discussing, but they looked so serious that they didn't even notice that Mazeren and the others had returned.
It wasn't until Qin came to them that they came to their senses.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh. The maid has already prepared dinner. Please enjoy your meal first."
In Gunhild's house, Ivy has always been the one cooking, and the maid rarely cooks. It seems that they are really busy.
Although Maizeron didn't want to get involved in this matter, Columbia asked him to ask.
