GBP Chapter 100 Welcome Back
Chapter 100 Welcome Back
After healing the knights inside the city walls, Samuel felt a massive loss of elemental power in his body.
The crown's healing ability consumes a lot of elemental power, and the more serious the injury and the more people there are, the more elemental power consumed will become.
Even though Tevarin had given him a lot of protection from the wind dragon beforehand, he still felt a little dizzy after he restored most of the knights.
However, judging from his current reserves of protected elements, there is no chance that he will turn back into his original form.
As he was thinking, he heard someone praising his name amidst the shouts of "Praise Lord Barbatos".
He headed towards the source of the sound and saw the familiar face of the middle-aged knight on the city wall.
Although he had shaved his beard and his clothes and demeanor were different, he still recognized the father who was willing to sacrifice his life to protect his daughter.
Samuel had a deep impression of him because he felt a familiar feeling towards him when they first met.
It was as if something amazing had been done to him in front of her.
…like being thrown into a pot of cider by a green-clad minstrel.
Samuel shook his head.
And now, it seems that after fleeing from Viladu Village to Qingquan Town, the other party did not accept asylum in the city, but chose to join the Knights Templar and go to the front line.
Out of admiration for the other party, Samuel nodded slightly at him in response to his call.
Amid the knight's even more excited praise, he flapped his wings vigorously and flew towards Boreas and Tevarin who were clearing out the black wolf tide.
By the way, he also used the power of wind element to provide a certain amount of protection to the Knights of Favonius who were fighting the Black Wolves not long ago.
They started from the congestion point of the earth veins sealed by the God of Wind, and killed their way here, killing all the beast hounds that passed by.
And the process of closing the cracks was simpler than Samuel had imagined.
Relying on his own sensitivity to Lord Barbatos' seal, he easily found a small gap in less than half a day after arriving at the seal location.
However, the elemental power required to stitch up the cracks was more than he thought.
Fortunately, as they are both dragons, Tevarin can give him certain protection to increase his wind elemental power reserves, which can be regarded as temporarily lending his elemental power to Samuel.
This also seemed to cause the suppressed inheritance in his body to become more agitated, but Samuel didn't think it was a big deal.
That was the suppression imposed by Lord Barbatos, how could it be easily broken through?
So, under the blizzard of the North Wind Wolf and the hurricane of the East Wind Dragon, Samuel successfully closed the gap in space.
They then spent several days looking for cracks that might not have been closed and clearing out the black wolf tides along the way.
After watching for several sunrises and moonsets and confirming that all the cracks should have been closed, this group of black wolves without any backup were easily defeated by the powerful wind elemental force of the North Wind Wolf and the East Wind Dragon.
Samuel once again looked at the white dyed by the snow that was blown up by the strong wind in front of him, and then looked at the black dyed by the black wolf that was swept by the wind, and the bright red that flowed with the wind.
The blue eyes revealed worship of power.
While Tevarin and Boreas covered him in stitching up the crack, this question popped up in his mind countless times:
If he could be as powerful as Boreas and Tevarin, wouldn't so many tragedies have happened?
With this vision, Samuel became more determined to pursue power.
But...why did Tevarin use such a strong elemental force to attack these beast hounds that he should be able to kill with ease?
And every time, the hurricane only blew up when he was nearby; when he was far away, it was just a simple breath of wind dragon.
Why do I always feel like I'm showing off in front of him...
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and watched the hurricane in front of him gradually dissipate.
At this time, it was snowing heavily. The corpses and blood of a large number of black wolves fell to the snow-covered ground, like a blizzard with three colors.
The Knights of Favonius on the ground witnessed all this under the protection given by Samuel.
They came back to their senses from the incomparable shock, and then, like the knights on the city wall far behind them, burst into unprecedented cheers.
This dark wolf disaster that had plagued Mondstadt for dozens of days—
--it's over!
……
——Mondstadt, southeast gate.
Lawrence Parfield was still on guard here, and once again witnessed the mountains of people piled here.
It has been less than a month since the last time the Southeast Gate was so lively.
However, a lot of major events happened during this period.
First there was "the arrival of the dependent", then "the dependent was crowned as His Majesty the Pope of the Church of Favonius", followed by "a dark tide of wolves suddenly swept in", and then "the Knights sent troops to suppress the disrespectful remarks towards Lord Barbatos that appeared in the city."
Of course, the news from the front yesterday that "Your Majesty led the East Wind Guardian and the North Wind Guardian to defeat the black wolf tide, eliminate the wolf disaster and save Mondstadt" -
——It was undoubtedly a slap in the face of those who used the Guardian of the Four Winds as an excuse to denounce Lord Barbatos and His Majesty Saint Samuel.
However, these are major events that are well known to the people of Mondstadt.
In addition to these major events, there are two more major events for Lawrence Parfield.
One is...his affairs were inexplicably exposed again and even appeared in some tabloid newspapers.
This caused his colleagues, who had originally gotten along well with him, to look at him with strangeness and even contempt, just like before.
The second was that Senior Swan Edner had the honor of being promoted and was transferred from the southeast gate where few people passed by to the headquarters of the Knights.
However, he didn't know what the specific job was, because they had less contact since Swan was transferred.
Although Lawrence felt disappointed that they would rarely meet in the future, he was also very happy that he got a promotion, which was a good thing after all.
Besides...reducing contact can also prevent the public opinion about me from affecting him.
Thinking of this, Lawrence sighed and looked at the people gathered behind him.
Lawrence also knew the reason why they gathered together. Just like last time, it was to welcome the arrival of the dependent.
However, this time, the other party's identity changed from "a dependent named Samuel who suddenly appeared" to "His Holiness Saint Samuel, the noble Pope of the Church of Favonius who saved Mondstadt from disaster."
This time, it was not just the people who gathered here spontaneously, but it was promoted by the Knights Templar to welcome the triumphant return of His Majesty Saint Samuel.
Listening to the people around him shouting enthusiastically and loudly, such as "Praise Lord Barbatos!", "Let the wind guide you!", "May the wind god protect you!" and so on, Lawrence couldn't help but cheer up.
After a while, the majestic and magnificent dragon roar spread from the sky to the earth, shaking the hearts of the people gathered here.
They knew who it was, because before the wolf disaster they were troubled by the dragon disaster caused by it.
However, the dragon roar it emitted at that time was not as majestic and magnificent as it is today, but was full of malice and resentment.
People no longer treated it with the reverence and gratitude they have today, but with hatred and fear.
Therefore, the people of Mond at that time changed their name for it from "Dragon of the East Wind" to "Wind Demon Dragon".
Although the dragon disaster ended later, the Knights explained that it was used by the Abyss Cult to become like that, and asked people not to call it the "Wind Dragon" anymore, but the people did not appreciate it.
Today, when they hear the dragon's roar again, they excitedly shout: "Praise the great dragon of the East Wind!"
To be honest, Lawrence felt like laughing when he heard it.
So why isn't he?
When he was nineteen years old, he was valued by the Knights Templar because of his ambition and talent. Everyone had a good relationship with him, and some even called him "the future title knight."
But this year he is twenty-three years old, and because of a scandal, he is still guarding the door here.
Although he had previously called Tevarin "Wind Dragon"...
Thinking about this, Lawrence couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Before he could calm down, there was a sudden "boom"!
A huge tremor spread from the land on the opposite side through the stone brick bridge, and at the same time a cloud of dust filled the air on the other side of the bridge.
The next second, the dust was blown away by the breeze, and a slender and huge azure dragon was crawling on the ground. A white-haired boy wearing a crown and a white religious robe flapped his wings from its back and slowly descended to the ground.
Light, elegant, sacred and noble.
Although the sky was covered with dust just now, Lawrence found that the whiteness on his body was spotless.
The crowd behind him also reacted and shouted loudly:
"——Praise be to His Majesty Saint Samuel!"
Lawrence saw the praised young man opposite him calmly raise his hand and press it down, and the people fell silent when they saw it.
Lawrence watched his skilled movements, feeling surprised and admiring, but also a little confused:
…He wasn't like this the last time we met.
It wasn't just Lawrence. Among the crowd behind him were many people who had come to greet Samuel the last time he entered the city.
They also have the same confusion.
They all saw His Holiness the Pope twice, the first time he entered from the southeast gate, and the second time he entered from the southeast gate.
The last time they met was when Lawrence first met Samuel and when Samuel first entered Mondstadt.
At that time, the other party was still the size of a child, and would be visibly nervous, restrained, shocked and at a loss when facing the shouts of the crowd.
But the boy in front of him, although he looked 90% similar to that boy, had a completely different temperament from the boy Lawrence remembered.
Although he noticed it, Lawrence couldn't explain it in detail.
I guess it means... growing up?
Does one's mind grow as his body grows? People who have met Samuel twice all wondered the same thing.
At this moment, His Holiness the Pope, who was being speculated by them in his heart, was whispering to the Azure Dragon beside him:
“Let me tell you, Senior Tevarin.
"People will definitely not hate you this time."
The azure dragon nodded slightly, joy showing in his eyes.
After resolving the wolf plague and saying goodbye to the knights on the front line, Samuel actually wanted to take Tevarin and Boreas to visit Clear Spring Town and Mondstadt.
He felt that apart from Lord Barbatos, the two of them had made the greatest contribution to solving the wolf plague, so he had to bring them along to show their faces.
After all, without their help, Samuel would not have been able to close the gap so quickly, nor would he have been able to wipe out all the black wolves on the front line.
But Boreas said, "I have helped you fulfill your request, and what happens next has nothing to do with me."
After he finished speaking, he let out a long roar, and his body, which was temporarily condensed by the element of wind, dissipated with the wind.
Samuel couldn't force it. The other party was just a remnant soul, and perhaps he had almost reached the limit of condensing his body.
So he turned his gaze to Tevarin standing aside.
Tevarin was hesitant at first, then seemed to remember what Boreas had just said, so he raised his dragon head majestically and proudly, and said, "I have helped you fulfill your request, and what happens next has nothing to do with me."
Even the tone and intonation were imitated exactly.
Only then did Samuel realize that the dragon in front of him was actually a child.
Yes…
"The sky dragon descended from the sky, full of curiosity about everything in the world."
"The dragon is just a curious child, flying without worry until now."
"It listens to poetry and wants to learn to sing so that all things can understand its heart."
These are the original words from Lord Barbatos' narration of the poem in the game plot.
If it weren't for the dark catastrophe that occurred later, how could Tevarin be polluted and used by the Abyss Cult and become a "Wind Dragon"?
So at that time, Samuel lowered his eyes and imitated Lord Barbatos when he was depressed, comforting it and telling it, "People will not hate you anymore."
Tevarin looked at him doubtfully, but with Samuel's encouragement, he finally decided to fly with him to Qingquan Town to take a look.
The joy of victory was also felt in Qingquan Town. When people saw the huge shadow cast by Tevarin's huge body blocking the sunlight and covering the town,
——Their first reaction was panic, thinking that the wolf disaster had not yet ended and the dragon disaster had struck again.
Samuel saw that Tevarin's eyes were obviously dim and he wanted to fly away, so he quickly called out to him.
Just as he was struggling over what to do, someone in the crowd recognized Samuel. He was a businessman, and it seemed that he was someone Samuel had saved before.
He excitedly praised Samuel and expressed his gratitude.
Samuel changed his mind and took this opportunity to introduce the defeat of the Black Wolf tide on the front line, and praised Tevarin as a miracle.
Then, under Samuel's deception, some people began to believe and praise the Dragon of the East Wind loudly.
Well...actually he wasn't kidding, at most he just exaggerated a little.
But Tevarin was obviously very happy and flew several large circles around Qingquan Town with Samuel as the center.
Then Samuel agreed with Tevarin to rest for a few days and come to Mondstadt when he was ready.
He told Tevarin that once word of the end of the wolf plague reached Mondstadt, people's views on it would surely change.
So, there is this scene now.
The azure dragon raised its head and looked at the crowd on the other side of the bridge at the southeast gate of Mondstadt who were admiring it and the wind dragon but not daring to approach it. He was extremely happy.
So it let out a long roar excitedly, and after hearing its magnificent dragon roar, people praised its majesty and power.
The dragon was very happy and felt comfortable being praised.
So, as Samuel watched with a smile, the "Great East Wind Dragon" flapped its three pairs of wings and flew away joyfully.
Roaring while flying.
The white-haired boy wearing the crown smiled and shook his head slightly, watching it leave.
Then he looked across at the southeast gate of Mondstadt and folded his wings.
Amid the people's reverent praise, he walked over there, and the people greeted him joyfully:
"——The Free City welcomes your return, Saint Samuel!!"
