Having said this, Baroque felt a little thirsty and took a few sips from the wine glass beside him.

"But time flies and things are unpredictable. Since then, people in the ancient country have never seen that god again. His power has gradually weakened with the passage of time. The Cold Sky Nail on the top of the mountain has once again exerted its power.

Fortunately, the wind god Barbatos had already been crowned at this time, clearing away the ice and snow for Mondstadt. The people of Fendenir immediately decided to join the Mondlokar clan under the alias of Imon Loka. At this time, it was already long before the god appeared.

For thousands of years.”

The unknown god extended the lives of the people of Fendenir for thousands of years and bought them time to the future.

"So even if the Imon Loka clan later accepted the rule of the Wind God, they never forgot the god who once extended a helping hand to them. However, because they did not know the true name of that god, the Imon Loka clan relied on his divine power.

I made up a name for its characteristics and called it——"

"The Great God of Glory."

A woman's voice sounded from the side, inserting herself into the conversation between the two of them.

Bai Qiyun looked back and saw that Gaza was walking towards the two people with her hands behind her back, Ying and Paimon following behind her.

"You cook, you're drinking here!"

The little guy stared, as if he had encountered something unreasonable, but Bai Qiyun didn't pay attention to her.

"Hey, are you done?"

Hearing this, Ying nodded.

"Auntie was busy in the kitchen, so we came out after saying a few words. But you look very relaxed."

"No way, I was just listening to Mr. Baroque talk about the past of Snow Mountain."

Bai Qiyun glanced at Gaza's profile and found that there was no movement on her face and she was smiling.

"I didn't expect Mr. Baroque to be so interested in our family's history."

As for the identity of the merchant in front of him, Gaza, as a knight of the West Wind, naturally knew that the previous theft case was made a key case by Kaiya to investigate, although it was left undisturbed in the end.

Facing Gaza's scrutinizing gaze, Baroque laughed twice.

"It's just a pastime in my spare time. After all, Longji Snow Mountain is a treasure place. It's never wrong to know more about it."

Having said that, others don't know what Baroque's purpose was to understand the reason.

Seeing this, Gaza and Ying also took their seats and continued what they had just said.

"That's a statement passed down from the tribe. It's not an ulterior secret. It's just that because of our status, few people ask us about that past, so it became something like a legend."

When it comes to his family's history, Gaza doesn't shy away from it.

She held her cheek with her hand and recalled the things her parents told her when she was a child.

"Most of what Mr. Baroque said is correct, but a part of the truth is missing, and that is the part about the glorious God."

"God of Glory? He sounds like a god with a very personal style."

After listening to Paimon's words, Gaza couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

"The so-called Great God of Glory is just a name given to Him by the saved tribesmen without permission, but if it can be accepted by later generations, that's not bad."

She took out an exquisite wine bottle, opened the lid and took a sip.

Bai Qiyun, who was sitting next to her, could smell the aroma of fruit wine wafting from it, probably the smell of grapes.

I didn't expect this guy to be so good at it, it's really surprising.

"In the history of the time when the Great God of Glory sealed the Nail of Cold Sky as mentioned by Mr. Baroque, there is a lack of scenes of its duel with the sky. After all, the Nail of Cold Sky itself is something that descended from the sky to punish our clan. It sits high on the sky.

How can the beings in the sky remain indifferent to the sight of gods defying their will?"

"Is it really okay to talk like this?"

Although Ying doesn't have a deep understanding of the power system in this world, it's probably not a wise choice to talk about those beings behind their backs.

But who knows, Gaza shook his head, looking indifferent.

"It doesn't matter, since our clan still exists here, it explains the outcome of that unknown war from the side."

This time, it was Baroque's turn to be surprised.

He has been traveling around all year round, but he has found out from ancient books from various places how powerful the "heavenly beings" really are.

"In other words, those people lost?"

While speaking, he pointed towards the roof of the shed with his finger, not daring to mention that name at all.

"Well, it looks like this from the results."

Gaza nodded, causing Baroque to take a breath.

This fact may require him to rewrite his three views and re-understand the distribution of higher powers in this world.

Just thinking about what kind of existence can defeat Tian Tian and force the other party to admit it is scary.

"The silver god struck down the sky. From then on, the disaster disappeared, the nightmare dissipated, and the glory and future returned to the world."

Gaza spat out several words that others could not understand, leaving others confused.

After saying that, she turned her head and stuck out her tongue at Ying.

"These sentences are records handed down from the sacrifices of those years. They should be talking about that unknown war."

Hearing this, the blond girl looked thoughtful at the side.

"The sacrifice... I'm talking about the king back then."

"Well, the priest is the king, and the princess is the daughter of the priest, because we were also a country that believed in gods at the time, and the divine and royal powers were unified. There are many records left from the hands of the priest Faruhi of that generation."

Although Mondstadt is now a country that believes in gods, its theocracy has lagged behind the political power, and even the entire West Wind Church has been nominally placed under the leadership of the Knights.

Speaking of which, delicious dishes were served from the backstage of the bar, filling the already small space with the aroma of food.

Paimon's stomach growled after not eating for a long time, causing everyone to laugh.

"No more chatting, let's eat and eat."

Gaza led Ying to the front of the stage and brought back the dishes prepared by the chefs.

Because it is a clan celebration, drinks, food and accommodation are free during the three days of the celebration.

For a time, the guests enjoyed themselves.

Looking at the steaming meatloaf in front of him, Bai Qiyun moved his throat.

This was a 'meat pie' in the real sense, not the ones he had seen in Liyue with meat fillings inside.

The thick fat coats the beef, making people's mouths lick.

Outside the house, the wind and snow were freezing, and the snowfield was pure white. Occasionally, there were a few lost reindeer wandering in the forest.

Inside the house, the guests gathered together and enjoyed this annual gathering.

There are people drinking and drinking, and there is no end to the crowd.

————

Surprisingly, the dinner did not last long.

Some children and the elderly left the dining table after finishing their meals and went back to their rooms to rest.

Ying and Gaza also left the tavern with them, probably because they went back to tidy up the room, leaving only Bai Qiyun and Baroque to continue drinking in a tavern full of big men.

"Speaking of which, this place looks a bit like my hometown."

After a while, Baroque took the initiative to break the silence between the two.

He looked out the window, his eyes full of nostalgia.

"My hometown also suffered from turmoil. At that time, we also hoped that someone would come to help us. Unfortunately, we relied on ourselves to get through the difficulties in the end, and we paid a heavy price."

"Oh? Is Fontaine this messy too?"

Hearing this, Baroque laughed and shook his head.

"No, no, no, my hometown is not a big place like Fontaine. Fontaine is just the starting point when I later started doing business. Borderlands, Little Brother Bai, have you heard of it?"

Bai Qiyun nodded.

The Borderlands is a region independent of the Seven Kingdoms where human life still exists.

Most of them were isolated from the Seven Kingdoms during the Demon God War due to the Earth Lines. After the division of governance in the world was completed, the influence of the Earth Lines was gradually lifted and they returned to the world.

But at that time, the Seven Kingdoms pattern had been established, and the people in the Borderlands did not belong to any party. They had no gods to govern them and could only rely on themselves to survive.

When the Seven Kingdoms of the Mortal World were first established, monsters were still rampant on the earth, and they relied entirely on their own strength to resist the monsters. Even Bai Qiyun who had not experienced it could imagine the hardships involved.

"There is no god to govern that place, and there is no unified political power. Everyone is living for their own interests. People are used to crawling around in the dark, so they are used to finding a psychological sustenance for themselves. It happens that my hometown is adjacent to

Mondstadt, so there were more people in my hometown who believed in the God of Wind."

Mentioning the past, Baroque raised his glass, intending to take a sip of strong drink, but the glass was already empty.

"Then it seems that Mr. Baroque and Mond are really destined."

"Oh? Really, haha."
