Chapter 113 Wind Demon Dragon
The next day,
When the first ray of sunlight pierced the darkness, a group of busy knights greeted the Aeolian Statue Square. They were either holding tools or carrying materials. Under the command of a cavalry captain wearing an eye patch and holding a drawing in his hand, they were building the building in full swing. The grand stage.
The stage is positioned at the right distance from the huge statue of the god, making the performance on the stage feel like it is dedicated to the wind god, but also like an invitation to the residents of Mondstadt, which shows that a lot of thought has been put into it.
Kaia rolled up the drawing, tapped the palm of his hand, and nodded with satisfaction.
Although it is not clear why Leader Qin and Diluc left the dragon disaster alone and started a band instead, these two people must have their reasons, but it is difficult to tell people outside the band - or in other words, in You cannot tell others until you succeed.
It's not necessarily [unable], maybe the truth is too ridiculous, so real results are needed as a basis... Kaia rubbed her chin and glanced at the photo equipment set up around the stage, remembering that Qin and Yura went to the Knights two days ago The group is responsible for the publicity department.
Things are getting more and more interesting, but why does it seem like I have become an "outsider"?
Kaia sighed. It wasn't that he didn't want to join the orchestra. On the contrary, he knew about the orchestra - especially after knowing that Diluc had also joined the orchestra. He immediately took out his violin and submitted an application to join the orchestra.
It's just a pity that Master Diluc rejected him.
Not long after,
Crowds gathered in the Statue of Winds Square. The residents of Mondstadt looked at the grand and beautiful stage with surprise and admiration in their eyes.
"What does this do? Does anyone know?"
"What else can a stage be used for? Of course there are performances!"
"Nonsense! What kind of performance was I asking about? The notice posted by the Knights only said that there is a very important performance in the Aeolian Statue Square."
"It must be Miss Barbara's concert!"
"Is it the Wind Poetry Band? I remember that the Wind Poetry Band often performs at the Fengshen Statue Square these days."
"That's right! It's Miss Barbara's Wind Poetry Band! Come on, Barbara!"
"..."
"...This man is hopeless, drag him down."
"Agree."
"Wait! What are you going to do! I want to see Miss Barbara's concert! I won't leave! Barbara, come on!"
"Rush to the other side! No one is stopping you!"
Albert, who only made noise, was carried by three or five people and thrown to a distance, and the scene finally became quiet.
"Speaking of which, what is the Wind Poetry Band? When did it appear?"
A man dressed as a businessman glanced at the stage, curious.
"you do not know?"
Someone cast a surprised look and emphasized: "Although the Wind Poetry Band was established not long ago, it is very well-known in Mondstadt!"
"I came to Liyue to do business with the Bran Chamber of Commerce." The businessman explained.
"Bran Chamber of Commerce?" Someone around him thought of something and looked at the merchant with even more surprise: "Is that the unlucky chamber of commerce that had half of its goods destroyed by the Wind Demon Dragon?"
"...Yes." The businessman sighed, "Let's continue talking about the Wind Poetry Band."
After all the hard work of traveling from Liyue to Mondstadt, half of the goods were lost due to the dragon disaster before they could make any money. It was hard to say whether the Chamber of Commerce would be able to recover its losses this time.
Everyone looked at him sympathetically, stopped poking at his sore spots, and continued talking about the band: "Although the Wind Poem Band was established not long ago, most of the band members are great people!"
"Oh? How big is it?"
"Captain Qin of the Knights, Miss Barbara, Mr. Diluc of Dawn Winery, and the Splash Knight who was born in the Lawrence family but joined the Knights!"
"Look! They're coming!"
The businessman heard the sound and turned his attention to the stage. After seeing clearly who the band members were on the stage, he could not help but feel astonishment and surprise in his eyes, as if he had seen something extraordinary.
"Are you all ready?"
Qin's eyes turned to everyone in the orchestra. After seeing that everyone responded in the affirmative, he took a deep breath: "Then, let's check the music score and the status of the instruments one last time to make sure there are no accidents!"
"Yes! Captain!"
"Yes! Captain!"
Wendy responded in the same way, then reacted, scratched her hair, and lightly bumped into Chen Tianfeng: "Xiao Tianfeng, if I remember correctly, I am the leader of Feng Zhishi, right?"
When did Qin “come to power”? He took away the position of leader so naturally...
"Why do you care? Don't you want to fish anymore?"
Chen Tianfeng replied casually, frowning slightly, and his eyes were scanning among the many audience members below the stage. Whether it was an illusion or not, he always felt that someone he cared about was looking at him.
The gaze was very hidden, and whenever it wanted to meet his gaze, it would always quietly avoid it, making it impossible for him to accurately find the owner of the gaze.
"It makes sense." Wendy was convinced. Then she glanced at him curiously and turned her gaze to the audience: "What's wrong with you? What are you looking for?"
"It's okay, it might be an illusion."
Chen Tianfeng suppressed his doubts and raised his chin slightly: "It's time to start, you should go to your place, Wendy."
After a short preparation,
The orchestra members returned to their seats, and the audience gradually stopped talking and turned their eyes towards the stage with curiosity or expectation.
After a short silence, the chaotic instruments formed a harmonious sound. The sound was melodious at first, and then it became louder. With the help of the special loudspeaker, every melody was perfectly transmitted to the ears of every audience.
The next moment, the sweet singing of the girl and the clear singing of the boy sounded together. With the cooperation of the harmonious music, they told the residents of Mondstadt a long-ago story.
The story began in ancient times, when the gods still walked on the earth.
The sky dragon descended from the sky, full of curiosity about everything in the world. The dragon sought its own answers, but could not understand the desolation of the world.
The wind singer played the strings, and the sky harp answered it one by one.
The dragon was just a curious child, just flying without worries until now. It listened to poetry and wanted to learn to sing, so that all things could understand its heart.
The singer and the dragon became legends, and the dark age came.
…
…
The residents of Mondstadt listened in a daze.
Hearing the giant dragon appear because it felt the people's pain and wishes; hearing the giant dragon fighting the evil dragon in the storm, so that its scales were broken and its feathers fell off; hearing the sky dragon tearing the throat of the evil dragon, but swallowing poisonous blood and falling asleep; hearing the East Wind Dragon reviving after hundreds of years, but no one recognizes it anymore...
"Why do people today hate me?"
The East Wind Dragon's sad roar resounded through the sky, but the Mond people who were saved by it could no longer understand the dragon's words.
They feared the giant dragon, they forgot the dragon's name, and they called the East Wind Dragon that protected them a demon dragon.
——The Wind Demon Dragon, a demon dragon that controls the power of the wind but is the enemy of the wind.
The Mond people were stunned in place, with sadness inexplicably rising in their hearts.
