"It seems that our protagonist today has arrived."

Under the big tree, Wendy gently plucked the strings and said with her back to Eve.

"However, I think you are the director behind the scenes." Eve jumped up with all her strength and jumped onto a branch of the big tree.

Then, the slime transformed into a girl in white, sitting quietly on the branch.

Two jade feet were swaying gently in the air, and the breeze blew her skirt and fluttered in the wind.

"Oh, then let's introduce ourselves again!"

"The former God of Wind, Barbatos."

Wendy raised her head and looked at Eve on the tree.

"Then I should introduce myself. Well... I can be considered the former God of Grass, Buyer."

"You are finally willing to admit it." Eve looked at Barbatos with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

Still thinking about why Wendy didn't reveal Barbatos' identity in front of Eve before.

"Since I have removed my position as the God of Wind, it naturally doesn't matter." Barbatos said calmly.

"But why do you say I'm the one behind the scenes? I'm so weak that I can't even beat a mortal!" Barbatos said, pretending to be aggrieved.

"Barbatos, you and I both know that your words are only suitable for deceiving those children." Eve exposed the lie.

"Ha, it's really boring." Barbatos said in a low voice.

"Then let's talk about you?"

"What happened in these 500 years, and that child?" Barbatos' eyes suddenly became sharp.

"The pollution of the World Tree, the forbidden knowledge has polluted the World Tree." Eve said righteously.

"Oh, that's it."

"This is why you are so eager to get the heart of God." Barbatos pondered.

"And I am connected to the World Tree. In order to remove the pollution from the World Tree, I can only remove myself..."

Before Eve could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Barbatos.

"I wonder if you've noticed a detail." Barbatos seemed to have noticed something.

"What do you mean?" Eve frowned.

"Why the pollution of forbidden knowledge broke out just then."

"That's not because of Kanria's knowledge..." Eve replied without thinking.

"No, pollution and war go hand in hand."

"Pollution will not break out for no reason. I remember that thousands of years ago, the World Tree seemed to have been polluted due to forbidden knowledge!" Barbatos asked.

"Indeed, during that time of pollution, King Chi and I were together..."

"Wait..." Eve seemed to suddenly realize something.

"Forbidden knowledge is rejected by the world, but it is also something that threatens the entire world."

"So she doesn't allow this kind of thing to exist, and you are not so much contaminated by forbidden knowledge as you are exposed to forbidden knowledge." Barbatos guessed.

"Knowledge is neither good nor bad. Knowledge itself will not become a threat to the world, but people who understand knowledge are different." A dangerous smile appeared on Barbatos's lips.

"Perhaps, for the sake of this world, pollution must be removed, and so do you!"

"Oh, what an unsolvable proposition!" Barbatos sighed.

"But..." Eve was still a little confused.

According to Eve's thoughts, because the World Tree will reject forbidden knowledge, it will cause the entire Teyvat to fall apart.

For the sake of Teyvat, Eve must give up herself and purify the World Tree.

Logically speaking, this is no problem.

This is righteousness.

But Eve has only now noticed a problem. The Heart of God can help her purify pollution.

But the Seven Gods at that time......

Eve seemed to understand something.

Perhaps the world's rejection of taboo knowledge may not be due to instinct, but because there are people who want to hide the truth.

"Okay, the chat is over. If we continue chatting, she may wake up from her sleep." Barbatos smiled.

"That's it for now, Barbatos, I have a question." Eve said.

"I know what you want to ask." Barbatos replied.

"Since someone wants to take up the banner of rebellion, why don't I get on the bandwagon?"

"You won't lose anything anyway."

"After all, whether it's successful or not, it actually has nothing to do with me."

"It's just that acting is a bit tiring. After all, you can't give things away! Alas, I am still suitable to be a singer or poet." Barbatos said lightly.

Eve nodded slightly.

"However, it seems that your replacement, in the past 500 years..."

"No, she is not a substitute, she is the sun." Eve said seriously.

"The other child, she can be considered my daughter!" Eve's eyes showed tenderness.

"Okay, but she is indeed more qualified than me." Barbatos smiled softly.

"Besides, keep that thing safe for me. I've been carrying that thing for thousands of years, and I already have feelings for it," Barbatos said jokingly.

"Oh, happy times come so quickly. It's time for me to leave. It's almost time to sing in the tavern."

After Barbatos finished speaking, he planned to leave.

"Wait." Eve stopped him at this time.

"What else?"

"What is this?" Barbatos just turned around and saw Eve throwing something towards him.

He caught it immediately and took a look.

"Dandelion wine? It's actually the original collector's edition!!!" Barbatos' eyes instantly lit up as he looked at the wine thrown over by Eve.

This is actually dandelion wine, and it's a very old one.

You know, you can't buy this kind of thing even if you have money.

"Where did you get it? No, you don't have Mora either!" Barbatos asked in confusion.

"Ahem, don't worry about how it came about." Eve looked away from Barbatos and coughed lightly.

"Anyway, after you take something, you have to replace it with something."

"This wine is for you," Eve said.

"Okay! Then I think the happy time can continue for a while."

"Oh, today is the last day of business for Fengshen Barbatos, so I just want to use this precious thing to celebrate."

Barbatos held the wine bottle, wishing he could touch his face with it.

"Also, Barbatos, I have one last thing to say to you." Eve's tone suddenly became serious.

"In a chaotic era, there is no real way to be alone."

"Then I also want to send you a message." Barbatos said seriously.

“Never drink again in the future!!!”

Hearing this, Eve couldn't hold back any longer and clenched her fists.

"By the way, don't you want to sell your singing?" Eve reminded her secretly.

"Oh right!" Barbatos reacted instantly.

"I'm going, I'm going to be late!" Barbatos looked at the time and left in a panic.

Watching Wendy go away, Eve was the only one left in Fengqi.

On the big tree, the breeze rustled through the leaves, and at the same time blew Eve's white hair.

Eve's slender legs were swinging in the air and her eyes were looking at the sky.

"Things don't look that simple anymore!"

The breeze blew again, and Eve's figure disappeared. Where the wind rose, only the wind continued to blow.
