My Name Is North Wind!

The video continued playing.

At the execution grounds in Old Mondstadt, an innocent girl was about to meet her death.

The soldiers around her all watched with indifferent eyes. None were willing to risk saving a human who had dared to defy a god.

Death was destined to come for her.

There was no hope at all!

At that moment of despair...

Smash!

Suddenly, a tremendous noise rang out of nowhere as someone pushed open the gates of the execution grounds.

Then a fully armored knight charged in through the gates.

He easily knocked aside the guards in his way, burst onto the execution platform, and saved the innocent girl from certain death!

[Here he comes!]

[Is this the main character of the video?]

[He's just like a savior descending from the heavens!]

[Let the BGM play!!!]

With a flood of bullet comments accompanying him, the knight successfully rescued the girl and prepared to take her onto his horse and flee the city.

"No, I can't just leave like this."

Though she was about to be saved, reluctance showed on the girl's face. "If I leave like this, what will happen to the people of Old Mondstadt? Who will save them?"

"Before you think about saving others, you should first consider how to save yourself."

The knight's voice came from beneath his armor.

For some reason, Ronova found that voice very familiar...

But before she could think about it, the scene changed again.

As the knight tried to persuade the girl to leave, the surrounding guards closed in on them.

They held sharp swords and wore heavy armor, all of them radiating a cold killing intent.

Feeling the suffocating pressure, the girl named Wendy instinctively wrapped her arms around herself.

The knight, meanwhile, slowly stood up and fearlessly faced the many guards before him.

The standoff between the two sides was terrifying.

Even the air seemed ready to freeze at that moment.

Under the pressure, one guard could no longer stand it. He raised his longsword and charged forward.

Smack!

Just as his longsword was about to reach the young knight, the latter suddenly drew a greatsword from behind his back and killed him in an instant!

His movements were smooth and full of artistry.

The purity of his swordsmanship seemed entirely natural!

"Come on. All of you, attack me together."

As he spoke, the knight looked at the other guards.

Though the guards were surprised by his strength, they didn't think he could beat them given how badly they outnumbered him.

So they all charged forward.

What followed was a pure slaughter.

The many guards loyal to the God of Tornadoes were like lambs awaiting slaughter, mercilessly cut down by the young knight.

In the end, the few remaining guards had completely lost the will to fight and could only flee in despair.

"Those who kill should be prepared to be killed."

The knight's voice slowly rang out, expressing his will: he was already prepared to die in battle.

[So satisfying! Those guards only know how to bully the weak. Now they know who's boss!]

[Hahaha, that was satisfying, so satisfying!]

[So cool! Go on, Sir Knight, kill them all!]

[So who exactly is this knight? And that girl, who is she?]

[Isn't this supposed to be a secret of the Anemo Archon? She doesn't seem to have appeared yet...]

"Definitely cool."

After watching the first half of the video, Ronova's cheeks were slightly flushed. It was as if she had experienced the girl's despair firsthand and watched a heroic figure save her from a hopeless situation.

From the despair and oppression at the beginning to the excitement that set her blood racing later on.

Ronova finally understood why these mortals liked watching those strange "Long Aotian shorts" so much.

The only problem was that whenever she watched the knight in the video, she always felt there was something familiar about him.

Even though he hadn't actually appeared for long, she instinctively felt as if she had met him somewhere before.

"Who could it be?"

As she pondered, Mo Fan happened to come out of the kitchen.

"Well, we're out of seasoning in the kitchen. I'm going to the general goods shop in Mondstadt to buy some. If you get hungry, let me know."

"Don't mind me. I'm not hungry yet."

Ronova waved a hand dismissively.

Back when she was the Ruler of Death, she had never even needed to eat.

Now that she had lost her authority and power, her body had become as fragile as a mortal's.

It was incredibly inconvenient for her.

"Is the video really that good?"

Seeing Ronova completely absorbed in the video on the smart device, Mo Fan couldn't help commenting.

If he weren't penniless right now, he really would buy an Akasha smart device and see what was popular online these days—what could keep even the Ruler of Death watching without stopping.

Of course, he didn't have that kind of spare money now.

He'd better earn next month's rent first.

In the room.

Ronova continued watching the video on the smart device.

Although she had suddenly become very hungry, she could still endure it.

In the video.

The knight led the girl out of the execution grounds and even made it all the way outside Old Mondstadt in one go.

"Thank you for saving me. May I ask your name?" the girl asked sincerely.

"You don't need to know my name, but you may call me 'North Wind.'"

"North Wind?" Hearing the knight's words, the girl couldn't help asking, "That sounds like the God of the North Wind outside the city. Are you one of his subjects?"

"Not a subject. We merely cooperate."

The knight who called himself North Wind answered slowly.

Seeing how quiet and reticent he was, the girl realized he didn't want to reveal too much.

So she asked carefully, "Please, could you tell me what I should do next? I want to save this country and the people of Mondstadt, but it's hard to do with my strength alone..."

The girl felt lost.

She wanted to fight, to resist the tyrant in the tower.

But her own strength was far too insignificant. She had no power to fight him.

"It's simple. Unite everyone you can and bring together every force you can," the Knight of Boreas answered slowly. "A storm is indeed powerful, and it can easily blow out a small flame. But as long as the flames brought together are large enough, the storm will become their ally and help them burn even brighter!"

"Then... how do I do that?"

"Speak the truth, write down your grievances, and engrave the will to fight in everyone's heart."

The Knight of Boreas's words lit up the girl's eyes.

With an expectant expression, the girl held out her hand. "Then, Lord North Wind, could you become my companion too? No, I want to invite you to become my companion and overthrow the tyrant in the tower with me!"

"As you wish."

The knight took the girl's hand, like a covenant between ruler and subject from ancient times.

And the wind spirit in the girl's arms witnessed it all, a scene the spirit would never forget.
