At this moment, the square of Mondstadt was crowded and bustling. People were either hurrying on their way or strolling and chatting leisurely.

In this noisy atmosphere, a small and cute figure appeared in the center of the square. It was Paimon. It looked around, as if it was looking for something.

"Hmm~ Let me see who to ask first?" Paimon muttered to himself, his eyes sweeping across the surging crowd, a trace of confusion and helplessness on his face.

Seeing Paimeng's embarrassment, Ying couldn't help but find it a little funny, but she still comforted him softly, "It can be anyone, right?"

Just as Paimon was hesitating, suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had discovered some treasure, and he shouted excitedly: "Hey, that's... Miss Margaret!" It turned out that Paimon recognized Margaret in the crowd at a glance.

So, she took Ying's hand without hesitation and walked quickly towards Margaret.

"Miss Margaret!" Paimon waved and shouted. Margaret turned around and smiled brightly. "Hey, it's you. Haven't seen you for a while." She responded enthusiastically.

Margaret noticed Qianyu following behind Paimon, and a hint of curiosity was revealed in her eyes. She winked at Qianyu playfully and said with a smile: "Qianyu, you should also be ready, it will be your turn on duty soon~"

"Yes, but please give me your guidance when the time comes." Qianyu agreed.

"But is there something that you suddenly want to talk to me about? If you want to stay overnight, that's fine too." Margaret couldn't help but rub the wind flower in her hand and said with a smile.

"We're not here to stay overnight this time. It's like this..."

(Paimon tells the whole story of the Dark Night Hero)

"Is that so?" Margaret held up her chin, her eyes revealing a thoughtful look, as if she was thinking about some important issue.

"I did hear guests at the Cat's Tail Tavern talking about this incident a few days ago, but unfortunately, I didn't see it with my own eyes," Margaret said with some apology.

"Is that so..." Hearing this, Ying couldn't help but reveal a hint of disappointment on her face.

However, Margaret immediately offered a suggestion: "But you can ask the Knights who are on night duty. If the target appears frequently at night, then they may be aware of or see something related."

"Well, thank you for the clue, Miss Margaret." Qianyu said gratefully. Then, he stood up with Ying and Paimon and hurried towards the city gate.

"You're welcome. If you find anything new, don't forget to come back and tell me~"

"In countless dark nights, they uphold justice and stick to their ideals. Such heroes are truly fascinating..." Margaret smiled and waved goodbye to them.

Accompanied by her sweet voice, the three of them walked farther and farther away, and their figures disappeared at the end of the street in the distance.

The breeze blows gently, and the leaves fall quietly without making a sound, but time has left a deep mark on each fallen leaf. Unconsciously, the sun sets, the night is about to fall, and another day is about to pass...

The three of them walked slowly on the streets of Mondstadt.

"I'm so tired. I've been running all day. I'm really exhausted." Paimon muttered beside him.

"Paimon, you can fly. If we are to talk about tiredness, it should be Qianyu and I who are more tired, right?" Ying said.

"Oh, flying is also very tiring!" Paimon retorted.

"Hahahaha..." Looking at the two people bickering, Qianyu couldn't help but smile slightly.

"But then again, we don't seem to have made much progress throughout the whole day." Ying said thoughtfully.

"Yeah, apart from hearing those people in the tavern mention that the Dark Night Hero once saved them, there are no other clues..." Paimon sighed helplessly.

"But at least we know that this Dark Night Hero is not a member of the Knights, and his social circle should not be large, but his combat ability is strong..." Ying on the side calmly analyzed the useful information so far.

At this moment, they saw a girl in a red and white robe squatting next to the fountain in the square, looking at her reflection in the water with a sad face. A butterfly gently landed on her fingertips, as if comforting her wounded heart. (Picture)

The girl's yellow hair fluttered gently in the breeze like golden wheat waves. Her beautiful but sad face made people feel pity, as if the whole world was eclipsed by her.

"Hello, are you in any trouble?" Seeing the girl's worried look, Ying asked enthusiastically.

The girl didn't seem to notice that someone was talking to her and was still immersed in her own world until Ying asked again and she came back to her senses.

"Are you asking me..." The girl raised her head, revealing a delicate face, but her eyes revealed a trace of confusion and sadness. Her eyes wandered aimlessly, inadvertently scaring away the butterfly that rested on her fingers.

Seeing this, Qianyu asked softly: "If you have something on your mind, you can share it with us. Maybe it will make you feel better if you say it out."

The girl shook her head slightly, and forced a smile: "It's okay, I just haven't been back for a long time, and I feel a little emotional..."

However, at this moment, the girl's gaze fell on Qianyu without warning, and her originally dull eyes suddenly burst into a heart-pounding sharp light.

Qianyu's figure, appearance and temperament all reminded her of the figure she had witnessed on the top of the towering snow-capped mountain a hundred years ago - the wind god Diekarapian!

The figure of the God of Wind was deeply imprinted in the girl's heart, but at this moment it coincided with the person in front of her. This feeling was so wonderful and shocking that the girl was stunned.

But in just a moment, the girl came back to her senses. She couldn't help but laugh at herself, thinking: "How is it possible? Maybe this is just a coincidence..."

After all, the God of Wind had long disappeared in the long river of history, so how could he reappear in the world at this moment?

The light in her eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by endless loneliness and sadness.

"Aren't you from Mond?" Paimon asked curiously.

The girl turned her head and looked at Paimon, nodding slightly: "No, I am from Mond, my name is Rosalin. But, for some reasons, I have been away from here for a long time."

Having said this, Rosalyn paused, her eyes revealing deep longing.

"It's been so long that I almost forgot a promise, it's been so long that I almost forgot a person..."

Then she slowly stood up, her thin figure looking extremely lonely in the wind.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Qianyu felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Although he had guessed that he would meet Rosaline, hundreds of years had passed since their last meeting.

In this timeline, why did she appear here now when she did not accept the Ice Emperor's reward? Countless questions came to her mind, and Qianyu fell into deep thought for a while.

"Forget it. There's no need to dwell on the past. After all, life should always look forward!" Rosalin said as she crossed her arms and stretched lazily facing the sunset.

At this moment, the sun shines on her, as if she is covered with a layer of golden gauze. The breeze blows, and her hair flutters gently, making her as beautiful as a fairy descending from the earth. However, under this beautiful appearance, there is a broken heart hidden.

Rosalin stared into the distance quietly, her thoughts drifting away. She recalled every little bit of the past, and those beautiful and unforgettable memories came to her mind. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.

"Maybe this is fate's arrangement." Rosalin whispered to herself, "But no matter what, I must face the future bravely."

She took a deep breath, as if to breathe all the sadness and fatigue into her lungs, and then slowly exhaled.

She clenched her fists tightly, trying to inject a little strength into herself. Then, she turned around resolutely, looked forward firmly, and took firm and powerful steps.

"May the wind bless you, strange travelers..." Her voice echoed in the air, with a hint of melancholy and helplessness. This sentence is not only a blessing to the travelers, but also a kind of comfort to herself.

"And I should also stick to this belated promise..."

She said to herself silently. This agreement may have been forgotten by time, but it is so important to her. She is willing to give everything for it, even if the road ahead is difficult and dangerous.

As she walked away, only the faint figure and endless longing were left behind... Paimon looked at Rosaline's receding figure, and a feeling of sympathy surged in his heart.

"This lady has suffered a broken heart..." Paimon muttered to himself, with a puzzled gleam in his eyes.

"Maybe. I hope she can get out of this haze." Ying said softly, with a hint of concern in her tone.

However, at this moment, Ying suddenly remembered what Rosalin had said just now. Those words kept echoing in her mind, allowing her to find some new clues and inspirations.
