Chapter 499
"Of course I know no! I mean, since they look so alike, is it possible that Anqi has a long-lost twin sister?"
"But it has horns and a tail, it doesn't look human at all, does it?"
Ying rolled her eyes, stroked Paimon, and continued to rest without saying a word.
They're just similar individuals; as a traveler traversing different worlds, she knows quite a bit. It's not surprising.
Paimon scratched his head, hesitated for a while, and then, in the completely safe environment, his eyelids gradually grew heavy, and he fell asleep.
In short, the Knights to safely bring everyone back to the city.
No matter how bad the reputation of the Fatui is, or how suspicious their sudden appearance is, the Knights have to give them face by fighting alongside the Dragon of the East Wind and even having their Harbinger fall into a coma. They should receive the treatment and care they deserve.
Rosalyn's plan succeeded.
With a legitimate reason and real battle losses, Mondstadt officials are forced to take the Fatui seriously. At the very least, they can no longer ignore them as they did before.
At the same time, Wendy, Dvalin, Barbatos, and Andrius at the Wolf King Altar, where the atmosphere was quite solemn.
Wendy recounted the entire story, especially the incident of the unknown half-dragon girl tearing open the spatial rift.
"I can't feel anything! I don't know what she is, or what power she uses. The winds of the mortal world blow past her, telling me there's nothing there, as if I can only observe her with my own eyes... Barbatos, can you understand that feeling of absurd bewilderment?"
The usually reliable second-generation God of Wind paced back and forth on the field, her beautiful face revealing an unconcealable unease.
Dvalin couldn't resist lowering his wings and gently stroking Wendy's hair.
Andrius also flicked his tail and patted Wendy's back.
Looking at the anxious and helpless Wendy, they felt as if they were seeing a young and inexperienced junior, and a strange but genuine sense of affection welled up within them.
A lively and reliable second-generation goddess is certainly gratifying, but it's also especially endearing when she occasionally shows her naive and inexperienced side like this.
"Barbatos, I only had one thought at the time... if we tried to stop her, we would all die, both Dvalin and I would die. Do you understand?"
"Okay, okay, calm down. At least she didn't lay a hand on us, which means she wasn't hostile, right?"
Venti looked at her successor with amusement and couldn't help but float up, imitating Dvalin and the others, gently stroking the top of Wendy's head.
Wendy took several deep breaths amidst this treatment, seemingly finding solace, and gradually calmed down.
Seeing that their little darling had calmed down, the three adults exchanged glances for a moment, and could all see the smiles on each other's faces.
Then, Venti smiled calmly as always:
"I'm in the same boat as you. Thousand Winds couldn't detect her, so I don't even know what she looks like, let alone any other information. But on the bright side, based on your description, she shouldn't be hostile to Mondstadt, and she shouldn't be from the Abyss either..."
"It wasn't like that before, but it might not be like that in the future. It seems she has somehow entered the territory of the Abyss Order."
Wendy said woodenly.
Venti felt a sudden ache in her teeth and a headache.
"That's true. We can't just report it directly to Celestia, can we?"
"I think there are two possibilities. One is that Celestia already knew about her but did nothing about it. The other is that Celestia had no idea that such a person had appeared in the world on Earth. Either way, if you report it, we're probably going to be in big trouble."
As Wendy spoke, she pulled an apple out of the wind and began to chew on it.
Her words left the other three speechless.
If Celestia is indifferent, then it's possible that it's Celestia's doing, or even more terrifyingly, that Celestia doesn't dare to provoke them. If Celestia is unaware of the situation, that's equally terrifying.
Furthermore, the Seven Archons and Celestia weren't actually that close, and their level of trust was limited.
So they quickly abandoned the idea of making a casual remark.
"Ancient descendants? Newly born dragons? Or perhaps, from beyond this world?"
Barbatos speculated about the origins of the unknown Dragon Girl.
A moment of silence fell over the room as everyone pondered, but no one had an answer.
Wendy frowned, then suddenly said:
"Not long ago, there was a change in the seal of the Fulong Tree in Liyue. The old man and a bunch of people were coming and going, it was quite a lively scene... Since it was a family matter in Liyue, I didn't pay much attention."
"I know that, it's Azhdaha's seal. But it can't be the newly born Rock Dragon King, that's far from enough."
"What I mean is that there's no point in making guesses out of thin air. Why don't we ask the old man for his opinion? He's the oldest and most knowledgeable; perhaps he knows something?"
That makes sense.
Once calmed down, the second-generation God of Wind displayed its usual intelligence and resourcefulness, immediately pointing out a feasible direction.
Barbatos, Dvalin, and Andrius for a long time, then nodded in unison. After all, there was really no other way to deal with this kind of perplexing yet undeniable event.
As for the dragon girl's appearance after her horns and tail were removed, making her identical to the Knights' genius alchemist, Wendy and Dvalin didn't take it seriously. As demons and dragons, their perspective differed from mortals, seeing things more fundamentally. From that perspective, the Descendant Angel and Mondstadt Angel were two completely different individuals, impossible to connect.
