Chapter 115 Wind Flower

……

——Mondstadt region, Falling Star Valley area.

The ruined buildings remained motionless in the breeze, and the broken bricks and dilapidated arches formed an ancient building that looked like an arena.

Even in this desolation, one can feel the former glory.

If Samuel were to come and see it, he would find that it was very similar to the ancient Greek theater he remembered in his previous life.

——This is the Temple of the Thousand Winds built by the people of ancient Mond in order to worship the Lone King of the High Tower. It is also a place of dramatic rituals where the people of ancient Mond worshipped the gods in order to pray for their protection and grace.

Later, due to the decline of Old Mondstadt, the dramatic rituals lost their original significance and this grand temple was abandoned. Under the ravages of time and wind, it became the ruins it is today.

The blonde girl walked slowly among the ruins, as casually as if she was taking a walk in her own back garden.

She was wearing an exotic blue and white outfit, with two noble flowers adorning her short golden hair a little higher. This combination gave people a feeling of freshness and purity.

But her bright golden eyes were not so fresh and pure, but calm, making people unable to feel her joy, anger, sorrow or happiness, only a flat and calm appearance without any ups and downs.

There was a fluctuation of water elemental power, and a dark blue figure appeared out of thin air behind the girl.

"Your Highness, your servant has brought back new information..." He knelt down before the blonde girl, his voice hoarse and unclear.

The blonde girl called "Her Royal Highness" turned around and looked down at him who was kneeling.

She parted her lips slightly, and the cold female voice rose slightly at the end, uttering a syllable: "Oh?"

The man in the dark blue cloak lowered his head and continued in awe:

"It's about the new Wind God's followers who came to Mondstadt and solved the wolf disaster...

"My subordinates managed to meet him and after testing him, they said that his current strength is not strong..."

The blonde girl glanced at him and said calmly:

"Do you think you have the ability to infect him under the protection of the Knights of Favonius and the Church?"

The dark blue cloak choked.

The blonde girl turned around and waved her hand casually:

"Go down."

"Wait, Your Highness, I can try...!" the man in the dark blue cloak said hurriedly.

Her Royal Highness the Princess turned her head and glanced at him, then said nonchalantly, "Try it."

"I will follow your order, Your Highness. I will arrange it right away..." The man in the dark blue cloak mobilized the water elemental power that was mixed with an ominous and blasphemous aura, and disappeared on the spot.

The blonde girl turned around, picked a dandelion and blew it away, watching its petals drift in the wind and into the distance.

……

——Fountain Square in the central area of ​​Mondstadt.

It was still the same place as when Samuel came last time, with people in all kinds of clothes strolling leisurely or playing here.

Listening to the melodious tunes played by the bards beside the fountain, Samuel once again looked around this most crowded place in Mondstadt.

“…What are those people doing?” Samuel suddenly pointed in a direction and asked Mona.

Mona took a look and saw that in the direction he pointed, there were workers using a convenient ladder to hang flower-shaped decorations and turquoise strips on street lamps and poles.

She was surprised:

"…Your Majesty, don't you know?"

Samuel:?

Mona looked at him for a while and found that he really didn't know. Then she explained in confusion and confusion:

"Mondstadt's Windflower Festival is in a week, and these workers are preparing for the festival in advance."

Wind Flower Festival…? Samuel searched his mind for a while, first thinking of a book he had read recently that seemed to have mentioned it, and then he found the word deep in his memory.

It seemed to be a festival event in Mond, and he had heard his classmates mention it.

However, because he quit the game to prepare for the college entrance examination, he did not do any related activities.

I'll go back later and check out the customs of the Wind Flower Festival. If I had known I would travel through time, I wouldn't have prepared for the college entrance examination... Samuel muttered to himself.

Then, he thought of something and asked Mona curiously, "Why didn't I see any workers doing the decoration in advance in other places?"

"…Because Fountain Square is the most crowded place in Mondstadt, we have to prepare for the festival some time in advance, otherwise it will be inconvenient and we won't have time when there are more people around."

After saying this, Mona looked at him in surprise, her aqua blue eyes seemed to be saying, "Your Majesty, are you really from Mond?"

Samuel: "..."

He has only been in Mond for about half a year. Although he was "born" in Mond, he is not actually a native of Mond, right?

Besides, I have been staying in the library all this time, going between the church district and the Knights' Library every day. At most, I just strolled around the resident area and didn't pay much attention to the detailed changes in the city.

Lord Barbatos is right. I really need to see more of this world...

Thinking about this, he continued to observe the daily lives of the people around him.

Around the fountain there are bards playing instruments and chanting poems of praise.

The old man sitting on the bench reading the newspaper looked at his child feeding the pigeons from time to time to see if he had gone far away, then pushed his reading glasses and picked up the newspaper to read again.

The loving couple held a windmill daisy by the fountain and put their cheeks close to the windmill daisy.

Samuel only took a casual glance and knew that it was most likely a kiss.

Moreover, there seem to be quite a few couples like this. Their figures can be seen everywhere, beside street lights, against walls, on benches...

There was even a couple who, after seeing him in the square, were first exclaimed in excitement and surprise, and then mustered up the courage to walk up to Samuel and ask for his blessing.

Samuel, after giving a gentle blessing and joining them in shouting out "Praise to Lord Barbatos," looked at their joined hands as they went away in high spirits, lost in thought.

The lonely and widowed Pope: "..."

…He seemed to understand what kind of festival the Wind Flower Festival was.

……

——In the evening, after washing up, Samuel, wearing thin white pajamas, walked to the bed in his European-style courtyard room in the church district.

He took off the crown on his head, placed it on the soft red pillow on the bedside table, and then lay down on the bed.

In the afternoon, Mona and I went to see the Adventurer's Guild in Mondstadt and learned about how the Adventurer's Guild operates.

What impressed Samuel most was a commission hanging on the association's wall, which read:

I would like to ask how I can ask His Holiness Saint Samuel to fulfill my wish - to remain anonymous.

The content is:

"I am an ordinary civilian with a wife and a child. My work has been difficult recently, so I have no money to buy diapers for my child. I hope that Saint Samuel can bring wealth to my family so that I can have money to buy diapers..."

Samuel's mouth twitched when he saw it and he wanted to reach out and tear it off.

But with Mona's reminder, he understood that tearing the commission off the wall meant accepting the commission.

So he silently stretched out his hand.

Later, on the way back, Samuel learned from Mona that the Windflower Festival is a traditional festival of Mond and also a festival of freedom and love.

The "Windblume Festival" held during the Windblume Festival is a carnival for the entire Mondstadt.

At this time of year, people would offer "wind flowers" to Lord Barbatos, the god of wind, to show their respect and love.

There is no specific definition of "wind flower". Some people think it is dandelion, while others think it is windmill daisy.

Some people also think it is sweet flower, Mufeng mushroom, and Cecilia flower.

See what the "wind flower" looks like in the heart of the person who sends the flowers.

Besides this, there is also a tradition of sending flowers to loved ones and important people.

The "Wind Flower" presented to Lord Barbatos will be selected by the "Star of the Wind Flower Festival" who will attend the Wind Flower Ceremony together with the Captain of the Knights, and presented on behalf of all the people of Mondstadt.

And Mona mentioned that during the period before and after the Wind Flower Festival, it seems that you can't just ask others for help, so I heard from her that the Adventurer's Association's commissions have gradually decreased recently.

Well, she also explained to Fischl that because the Windblume Festival was approaching, there were fewer outdoor activities held by the Adventurer's Guild, and she had little work as a surveyor, so she thought of going to the library to borrow books to kill time.

Although Samuel saw that there were quite a lot of people in the Adventurer's Association at that time.

Ignoring Mona's strange expression at the time, "I'm a foreigner explaining the local festival customs of Mond to a Mond local, His Holiness the Pope of the Mond Church," Samuel felt that he benefited a lot from this trip.

After comparing the classics in the book with his pupils open and discovering that the specific content of the Wind Flower Festival was similar to what Mona said, the white-haired boy lying on the bed closed his eyes slightly and pinched his nose.

Wind Flower Festival...

Would you like to present "Wind Flower" to your loved ones or important people?

Thinking of this, Samuel closed the book and put it on the bedside table beside him.

Then he covered himself with the quilt, looked at the wisps of wind reflected in the moonlight outside the window, and closed his eyes.

When the time comes, shall I go to Sunset Forest and present the "Flower of Wind" that I have in mind to Lord Barbatos?

With this thought in mind, he gradually fell asleep.

…Good night, Lord Barbatos.
