When everyone at Morningside Winery was surprised by Master Diluc's sudden change, unusual noises were heard in the sacred land called Running Wolf Territory to the west of Mondstadt, the free capital.
Although the Benlang Territory is rich in resources and is full of ancient buildings and ruins, even the notorious treasure stealing group dare not enter this land.
Just because this is a world of wolves and a free country for wolves, just like Mondstadt has the protection of the wind god, the Wolf Territory also has its own god, Boreas.
Boreas was originally the great king of the north thousands of years ago, Andrius, an old acquaintance of the wind god Barbatos.
At that time, all the gods shouldered the responsibility of loving their loved ones.
Therefore, Andrius, who leads a pack of wolves but only adopts abandoned babies and strays, is very different.
Andrius believes that humans will only bring disappointment, but innocent babies are innocent. The wolf pack chooses the child. If the child also chooses the wolf, then they will form a [Glorious Family], which is [Lupika]
.
When the Lupikas adopted by these wolves reach adulthood, Andrius will return them to the human population.
Wolves also fully understand the loneliness of being without their own kind, so when Lupika returns to the crowd, she will be given the broken teeth of the wolves that were broken during the battle. It is said that these wolf teeth really have the magic power to protect peace.
Although Andrius's strength is no longer what it used to be, and his body has dissipated, leaving only a few remnants of his soul, the name of King Wolf is still widely spread, enough to scare away all the young people.
It is precisely for this reason that no one in the world knows that in this country of wolves, there still exists a young man who was raised by wolves.
"Give."
The boy with blood-eyed eyes gave the wild boar meat in his hand to the wolf cub next to him.
Tonight, the agile Lei Ze led the wolf pack again and hunted a lot of game.
The tired gray wolves returned to the King Wolf's mausoleum, gathered around the moss-covered silver-white stone wall, and greedily bit into the raw meat from the hunt.
The huge circular mausoleum is filled with an indescribable barbaric smell. The mottled cracks on the walls, the ancient characters printed on the stone slabs and the cobwebs on the ground all tell the traces of time.
The giant sword in the center of the mausoleum reflects a faint blue light under the moonlight.
Lei Ze picked up the big sword given to him by Falga, the leader of the Knights of the West Wind, chopped off a large piece of raw meat, and placed it under the wolf head totem beside the stone wall.
"Woo~"
The wolves began to howl, and Lei Ze half-knelt beside the sword, worshiping something.
In an instant, the cold wind hit, frost began to form on the ground, and the huge wolf shadow slowly and elegantly walked out of the stone wall.
His sea-blue eyes were like polished cold jade, and his snow-white fur was a little messy in the biting north wind, but his eyes were still sharp. His strong body remained motionless under the disturbance of the winter wind, and his sharp fangs
As if it can penetrate rock.
"You're here again, Lei Ze..."
The king wolf Boreas, who only had his soul left, stared at Lei Ze, his tone was majestic, but with unspeakable helplessness.
"I hunt and give meat to you."
Lei Ze lowered his head and spoke, his face calm, but the Benny Adventure Team emblem hanging on his waist was still shining brightly in the dim light of the small lantern grass.
After being dragged around Mondstadt by Bennett, Raze joined Bennett's adventure team in a daze. Although the two of them together, their luck was still as bad as ever.
The Wolf of the North Wind looked at the well-behaved Lei Ze and sighed.
"Leize, you are not a wolf, it's time to leave the wolf pack."
Lei Ze raised his head in surprise, widened his dark red eyes, and met the vicissitudes of the North Wind Wolf's gaze. He confirmed that Boreas really wanted him to leave immediately, and he stammered.
"Why?"
Wang Lang looked at Lei Ze with soft eyes and made a soothing sound from his mouth.
Lei Ze was also a child he watched grow up. When the wolves picked Lei Ze back up, he was still a baby waiting to be fed. In the blink of an eye, Lei Ze had become a wild wolf cub.
As the King Wolf of the Running Wolf Leader, Boreas naturally knew that Razor had made many friends in Mondstadt.
If possible, he would also like to give Lei Ze more time to adapt to the human way of life, but unfortunately time is running out.
The divine power in the earth's veins is boiling.
He has already felt the call of the lord.
War is inevitable.
Reize possesses the Eye of God and is destined to land on Sky Island and become a god, but he still needs to grow. Boreas does not want the future of the wolf pack Lupika to be ruined in these meaningless battles.
After a while, the young man heard the deep and firm voice of the Wolf of the North Wind.
"Leize, you have more important things to do. You can no longer stay among the wolves."
The little wolf cub clenched his fists and looked at Boreas stubbornly: "Wolves, Lupica, don't leave."
Hearing Lei Ze's rebuttal, Boreas just shook his head slowly and indifferently. Fierce breath came out of his nostrils. The ice and strong wind blew Lei Ze to cover it with his arms and grit his teeth to resist.
But as the frost condensed, a bright blue mist of wolves appeared in the entire circular altar. The gray wolves that were busy tearing into the raw meat also raised their heads and howled in the direction of Lei Ze.
"I don't want to leave."
Lei Ze embedded the white iron sword into the gap between the altar stone slabs and opened his mouth in the wind and snow.
However, in just a moment, the wind and snow subsided, and the illusory sword inserted in the center of the altar gradually solidified, with dark red lines winding down, and finally formed a bloody wolf head totem in the center of the hilt.
The broken sword of the North Wind Knight, the end of the wolf.
It is rumored that this sword is the big sword used by the Wolf Knight. It was originally just a thick piece of iron given by the blacksmith in the city, but it gained mythical power through his friendship with the wolf.
"Pull out that sword."
Boreas was silent for a moment and ordered the young man in a nostalgic tone.
Lei Ze's silver-gray hair was still covered with unmelted frost. He walked to the broken sword that had been there since he could remember. He stretched out his hands and grasped the hilt carved with wild lines.<
/p>
As long as Boreas doesn't drive him away, anything will be fine.
Lei Ze stood on tiptoes, pulled out a bloody giant sword that was half a head taller than himself, and carried it skillfully on his shoulder.
"It belongs to you, Lei Ze."
Before the boy could react, Boreas's deep voice sounded, and at the same time, an illusory wolf tail floated over, shrinking continuously during the movement until it solidified and landed in Lei Ze's hand.
"Take the wolf tail and go to the human tavern to find the bard named Wendy."
"Don't come back again."
A roar containing divine power poured out from Boreas's mouth. Lei Ze covered his ears with his hands in pain and half-knelt on the ground.
Lei Ze, who is ignorant of the world, still doesn't understand why Lord Boreas suddenly changed his personality and gave himself the broken sword that he regarded as a treasure.
But these doubts did not last long, and Lei Ze soon passed out from the deafening roar.
Seeing the young man unconscious, Boreas's wolf eyes flashed with a hint of unbearability, and immediately lit up with a fiery red light.
The divine power from the war began to affect its will, and the long-lost power filled the illusory body again.
The wolf head totem on the stone wall of the circular altar gradually dimmed and even cracked several gaps.
With a low growl, Boreas ordered the wolves to send Leize to the edge of the running wolf territory, then jumped out of the altar as if he had broken free from some shackles, shook his shiny fur, and ran towards Liyue.
.
After Boreas left, the huge gray wolf king lowered his head to show respect, and then led the wolves to migrate towards the Wind Dragon Ruins.
This is Lord Boreas's last order.
If that lord becomes the losing party in the war again, and the mortal ruler of Rockport expresses his anger at the Benlang Territory, at least the last bloodline of the wolf clan can be preserved.
After all the wolves from the Benlang leader left, Wendy, who came out of Chenxi Winery, walked along the path and entered around the altar.
"Big Bad Wolf, I'm here to see you!"
The young boy's immature voice traveled through the dense woods along with the breeze.
When Wendy stepped into the circular altar, all that was left to him was the mess on the ground where the wolves had eaten, the cracked wolf head totem and the missing sword.
"Eh...?"
Wendy blinked her emerald green eyes, her brows suddenly filled with a little worry, and immediately rushed towards the Wind Dragon Ruins without stopping.
