Famas and Keli quickly rushed to the blown-up Fengshen Statue. The entire island in the middle of the lake had disappeared, and the lake water returned to a turbid state again.
"Hey, Brother Famas, are you playing in the mud?"
Keli tried to wash the mud off her feet in the turbid lake water, and watched Famas mix the mud with the powder left over from the explosion, lay the foundation, and shape the statue of the God of Winds.
Famas used his divine power to lift a large piece of soil, slowly carving it, and then brought them together to gradually form the image of a girl with wings.
The girl wore a hooded robe, her wings did not open, but surrounded herself to protect herself, and her hands were holding a gem, as if she was praying.
"Perfect."
Just when Famas was sighing at his masterpiece, he was suddenly attacked by mud and water. Keli threw a small bomb, and the splash of lake water poured into Famas' neck from his collar, causing him to shiver.
.
"Caught!"
Turning his head, Famas saw Kelly holding a black-backed bass. The bass was still struggling and swinging wildly.
"Hehehehe...Xiao Keli!"
Looking at Keli who was stuck in the lake and was half a body shorter than him, Famas squatted down, smiled evilly, condensed the fire element into his fist, and then swung it hard towards the water.
Wow!
The water from the lake was thrown into the air and fell, soaking Keli's clothes and her enthusiasm for catching fish. It also scared Keli so much that she let go of the bass in her hand.
"Ah, Brother Famas, it's annoying!"
Keli, who was soaked all over, shouted, took out a bomb from her backpack, and threw it towards Famas.
"Bounce bomb!"
"Hey, hey, why can't I afford to play..."
While Famas and Keli were having a fight by the lake, several people far away in the Dadaupa Valley had successfully found the so-called Sword of Brilliant Courage and Shield of Brilliant Will through a series of negotiations and battles. p>
"No way? It's just an ordinary old sword and a broken shield! Why do the people of Qiuqiu worship around such things?"
The ordinary dagger and tattered sword in front of Paimon, with wine stains and the "Shield of Radiant Will" on the barrel hoop, couldn't help but complain.
"I'm afraid it's just that someone threw the sword into the pile of trophies that the Qiuqiu people were worshiping..."
Wendy whispered beside Ying, but facing the dejected Jack, Wendy still encouraged her eloquently.
"Jack, have you ever seen the wind crystal butterflies flying outside Mondstadt?"
"This kind of butterfly is inconspicuous during the day, but in the dark night it will be dazzling, just like a flying gem.
"Isn't it the same with courage? People who have everything going smoothly will not understand how valuable it is, but when you are in a desperate situation, courage is the only light that makes you fight and get out of the desperate situation."
Ying and Paimeng looked at Wendy with a bright tongue in shock.
"Should I say that he is worthy of being the best bard in Mondstadt?"
Paimon stood on his waist and watched Wendy forcefully explain the meaning of the "Sword of Brilliant Courage".
"But, this is too old! And...how should I put it, it is so ordinary that people are speechless..."
After listening to Wendy's explanation, Jack nodded and looked at the "Shield of Shining Will" on the other side.
"You think he is a useless barrel, but according to my bard's intuition, this is the [Shield of Shining Will]."
"Soldiers are proud of the scars on their bodies, and so are shields. The more complete a shield is, the more it shows that it is far away from the battlefield. Isn't the worn-out shield proof that it has experienced hundreds of battles?"
"Even if your body is broken, you will fight until the last moment on the battlefield, and fight until the last drop of blood is shed. Isn't this kind of will precious?"
Wendy shook her head and said, fooling Jack, a new adventurer, into a daze.
"Wendy is right!"
Ying seemed to understand something at this moment and echoed Wendy's words.
"That's right...how can there be a clean shield..."
Jack seemed to have figured something out. He solemnly picked up the dagger and shield and thanked the three of them.
"Thank you! I found what I was looking for! Mom and Dad! Look at the courage and glory I found!"
With that said, Jack ran towards Mondstadt as if possessed.
"Hey? Wait! Where's the wine we promised? I'm tired from talking so much, okay?"
Wendy sighed and helplessly tried to call back Jack who was running away, but Jack was already too far away to hear Wendy's words.
At this moment, a dark green figure was hiding next to Qiuqiuren's wooden house, quietly spying on the three of them.
"Huh? Isn't this Stanley? Did you come here for a walk?"
Wendy glanced in the direction where the green figure was hiding, then turned around pretending not to know, and waved to Stanley in surprise.
"Ah...ah hahahaha, isn't this a bard? What a coincidence, you are also here for a walk?"
Seeing that Wendy saw through the hiding, Stanley came out with a guilty conscience and pretended to say hello to Wendy.
"Yeah, let's go out for a walk after dinner and look for something with my friends."
Making an expression of looking around, under Paimon's sharp gaze, Stanley was obviously not so natural.
"The great adventurer must be familiar with Dadaupa Valley, right? After all, this is the place where you fought."
Paimon pouted and tried to talk to Stanley.
"Of course... of course, I can walk all over here with my eyes closed!"
The suspicion in the eyes of several people became deeper and deeper. Stanley forced himself to calm down and continued to talk to them.
"I am a great adventurer, but you, there are many Qiuqiu people here, don't take it lightly!"
"Then, goodbye then, young people."
Stanley left anxiously, leaving the three of them standing there looking at each other.
"He is indeed very guilty."
Paimon stared at Stanley's leaving back in confusion.
"I can't help it. Who asked him to boast so much about Jack?"
Wendy spread her hands helplessly.
"I feel more and more that Mr. Stanley may be a liar."
Paimon continued, causing Ying to agree: "I think so too..."
"So Stanley deliberately took a step ahead and arranged the sword and shield here in order not to hurt Jack's feelings?"
Paimon touched the hairpin on his head. Although he was sure there was something wrong with Stanley, he still had many doubts.
"Tonight, let's go to Angel's Gift Tavern."
Wendy suggested from the side, "When I was singing in the pub, I often saw Mr. Stanley drinking alone."
