Section 12
Roland raised his head and clenched his sword.
The battle continued.
After an unknown amount of time, a shrill roar reached everyone's ears, and a black rain suddenly fell from the sky. It was the blood of the poisonous dragon Durin. The poisonous blood fell on the ground, corroding the grass and trees, and fell into the fruit wine lake, killing the fish in an instant.
Those who were unfortunately contaminated with the poisonous blood or monsters were also corroded by the venom and died in pain.
Alan Delin was terrified. He raised his head and saw the figure of the giant dragon whizzing through the sky, stumbling towards the distant snow-capped mountains.
"Rustan!!"
Alan Delin's eyes fell on the figure floating in the sky.
Endless light shone, lighting up the sky.
Everyone raised their heads and saw Su Chen, who was lifted up by the power of the wind, standing in the air, stained with blood, and the ice elements on his body gathered crazily, and finally turned into a tens-meter-long ice spear.
Swish! ——
The spear pierced the sky, cut through the black fog, and pierced into Durin's body like a meteor!
Chapter 13 A letter to Rosaline [3rd update, 4k! ]
The Kanreya disaster broke out, and the whole of Teyvat was involved in a cruel war.
The black beast tide swept across the seven countries, and each country sent its elite to fight the monsters, suffering heavy casualties.
But as time went on, the strongest beast tide was resisted, and then it evolved into a long-term war of attrition.
Xumi.
The Order House.
The girl in a white dress stood on an attic, looking into the distance, her eyes full of worry.
"Rustan..."
Rosaline pursed her lips and sighed in her heart.
Facing this sudden war, no one had ever thought it would be so terrible.
But Xumi's god, the great King of the Great Compassion Tree, seemed to have foreseen something. She made a lot of preparations in advance, allowing Xumi to survive the craziest beast tide.
Rosalin had to admit that even though most of the people in Xumi were weak scholars, they could resist any disaster by relying on the god to coordinate wisdom and plan everything.
This is probably the power of God.
The God of Wisdom of Xumi is gentle and powerful, and is trusted unconditionally by all his people.
During the time she studied in the Order Academy, Rosalin also fully realized the respect of the people of Xumi for the Great Kind Tree King, and even their almost crazy worship.
And Mond also has gods.
Although the wind god rarely appears, how could the god abandon his people in this situation?
With the Lord of the Wind, Rustan... and everyone else, they should be fine.
No, it will be fine, after all, God... is omnipotent.
"Lord Rosalin."
A woman appeared behind her.
"The monsters in the east of Daocheng Forest have been eliminated, but many have appeared in Shanjian Land. According to the spies, the situation in the desert is not very good. Without the order of the Great Compassion Tree King, the army of the Order Institute did not go to the desert to deal with the monsters. What should we do?"
This woman is a member of the Earth Fire.
Before Rosalind came to Xumi, Su Chen gave her the task of developing the power of the Earth Fire.
And she did a good job. In just three years, the power of the Earth Fire in Xumi was no weaker than that of Mond.
The main reason is that there was no suppression of the Earth Fire organization in Xumi. The political struggle in Xumi was not fierce, or the scholars had no interest in those. With the Great Compassion Tree King who coordinated everything, human ambitions were useless.
After all, it is easy for the void to achieve consistency in management. In this case, if someone wants to do something small, the Great Compassion Tree King can see it at a glance.
Even without the Great Compassion Tree King taking action, the six sages who embrace the gods will unconditionally follow the footsteps of the gods and govern Xumi.
In short, what Rosaline has seen in Xumi in the past three years is a kind of wisdom under rationality, which is both thirsty for the unknown and afraid of taboos, and has awe of the gods.
Rosaline retracted her gaze from a distance.
He pondered slightly.
"Since the Church Order Institute does not care about the desert, let us, the Earth Fire, take action."
The desert is a special place.
The desert people believe in the deceased Red King, and most of the people there are hostile to the Great Compassion Tree King, believing that the latter is the murderer of the Red King.
The strange thing is that the Great Compassion Tree King has never regulated such remarks, nor has he punished the desert.
Intuition tells Rosaline that there may be some reasons unknown to outsiders, but in any case, the desert people are brave and good at fighting, and are the preferred target for the development of the Earth Fire.
After all, most of the people on the rain forest side are scholars. They are good at academics, but to fight against monsters, they still have to be people who can hold swords.
"Remember, you must not be impatient in the desert, do not harbor malice, but do not be overly kind. Follow the will of the great leader Lord Rustan, the meaning of the existence of the Earth Fire is to protect, change, create, and also destroy."
"We protect all people and things that are worth protecting, and for those guys who are bad to the core, corruption has already stained their souls, so there is no need to save them."
After several years of growth, Rosalin is no longer the simple girl who sang in the wind in Mond Square.
Perhaps only when facing the beloved will she show unexpected tenderness.
After the woman left, Rosalin walked into the attic and walked back to the room.
A figure ran over in a hurry.
"Lord Rosalin, your letter."
That was a letter from Mondstadt. Rosalin had ordered that it must be delivered to her as soon as possible.
"A letter from Rustan?!"
Rosalin was excited.
She opened the letter with great excitement.
However, soon Rosalin froze in her place.
This was a farewell letter.
[Dear Rosalin, long time no see. ]
[At this moment, I am sitting in front of the Mondstadt Church, looking at the place where I first met you. The wind is covering the city, it is roaring, there is no fruit fragrance and flying dandelions in the wind, only the smell of sadness and anxiety, despair and sadness. ]
[You told me that the Cecilia flowers in the Star-Picking Cliff are very beautiful, the fragrance of the flowers is refreshing, lying in the flowers and grass and falling asleep, it seems that someone is singing in the wind. ]
[It's a pity that I didn't go there once. I thought about it, it's a pity. ]
[There are also ancient trees in the wind, sunrise at Cape Oath, walking quietly in the quiet whispering forest, watching the small lamp grass emitting faint light, and crystal butterflies dancing. I once planned a whole day of travel, but I don’t know when I forgot the time and buried myself in endless work. ]
[Perhaps at this time, I have time to look back at the past, but it’s a pity that there is no chance to start over in the past. Looking back will always make me regretful. I should move forward. ]
[You should also keep moving forward. ]
[Perhaps... when you come back, you can’t see me anymore. Please don’t be sad, because that is the inevitability of fate, even without this disaster. ]
[Rosaline, do you believe in miracles? ]
[If you don’t believe it, then please believe me, separation is not forever, maybe at some point in the future, we can meet again, but that day will be a little longer, so long that time may have erased the way I look in your heart, so long that perhaps the earth fire will no longer exist. 】
【Don't let the rage of hatred devour your reason. That is not dawn, dear Rosaline, it is a sea of fire that burns everything. 】
【Okay, the evening bells are ringing, and the time for farewell has come. 】
【I should go. 】
【May the wind god bless you. 】
Tick-tock.
Crystal tears filled her eyes, slid down her cheeks, and dripped onto the letter paper.
Rosaline's hands tightly grasped the letter paper, trembling, her body was also trembling, sadness and uncontrollable impulse filled her heart, and at this moment she had only one thought in her mind - go back!
...
Zizz~~
The flames covered the vast scorched earth, and a strong smell of burning odor emanated from the air.
The knights covered in blood pulled their companions out of a pile of soil and monsters. Their faces were full of sadness. Looking at the faces that used to drink and laugh together, someone finally made a patient whimper.
Allen Delin held the sword in his hand, his expression was a little numb.
He had forgotten how many times he had repelled the attack of the monster tide.
Those terrible dark beast tides seemed endless. Even without the threat of the evil dragon, these monsters alone were enough to make the Knights despair.
Fortunately, with the help of the earth fire, otherwise the casualties would be several times greater than now.
Da, da, da, da...
Heavy footsteps sounded.
The metal armor dragged the boy's figure. Alan Delin raised his eyes and saw Roland walking in a daze.
The two looked at each other, and from the boy's eyes, Alan Delin knew the result.
This time, the search still failed to find Rustan's body.
The two walked towards Mondstadt in silence.
"Hold a funeral ceremony."
Alan Delin said.
...
Mondstadt, in front of the huge statue of the god of wind.
In front of the tombstone engraved with Rustan's name, there were clusters of flowers.
The people of Mondstadt surrounded them inside and outside, and their faces remained silent.
Merchants, adventurers, ordinary people, knights or members of the Earth Fire, Alendlin stood in front of the tombstone and presided over the farewell ceremony for Rustan.
