These things are not important; what matters is that the entire blank space on the bottle label is filled with his signature—Barbatos.
It also features anti-counterfeiting features related to the Wind God's power.
Kaiya: "Ah..."
He got this bottle in exchange for treating Wendy to a drink; he uses it for everyday packaging and for special purposes on certain occasions.
Zhong Gui: "As long as he's given enough (wine), he'll do anything. He's just as good as those 100,000 witches."
Kaiya sighed and put the bottle away. It seemed that his goal of getting his brother to drink was not going to be achieved, and he would have to save it for later.
Seeing Kaeya's expression, Diluc sneered, feeling quite pleased with himself.
"What brings you to Mondstadt, sir?" Diluc asked Zhong Gui.
“I mainly came to accompany her,” Zhong Guiyi said, pointing to Xiangling.
Xiangling: "..."
It was you who insisted on following along, okay?
"Of course, the main reason I came to Mondstadt this time is to meet someone."
"Wendy?"
"No, why would I see him? Besides, I just saw him a few days ago." Zhong Gui waved his hand dismissively. "He's someone who hasn't appeared yet, but he should be appearing soon."
Zhong Gui calculated that time travelers should appear by now.
The New Year is over now, and there are still more than half a year until the next Summoning Ceremony. It took the Traveler a while to catch Paimon, and then he had to fight dragons in Mondstadt, make friends, run through the snowy mountains, and take adventures... before finally heading to Liyue. It will take at least half a year.
Diluc frowned. Could the people chosen by the gods be simple? Definitely not!
"Don't worry, Mondstadt will be fine. The person who comes will be a great hero of Mondstadt. But they might just be passing by."
"A great hero? Heroes are always accompanied by disaster."
“Lord Diluc, you’re mistaken. You’re making it sound like heroes are to blame,” Kaeya said. “But he’s right, where there are heroes, there are bound to be disasters. Mr. Zhonggui, what kind of disaster is coming to Mondstadt?”
Kaiya, like a lackey, poured Zhong Gui a glass of apple wine.
That's all~
"No?"
"Yes, the disaster just stopped."
"???"
……
On the other side, the Wind Dragon Ruins.
"It's all Kaeya's fault. I wanted to ask Jean to help me find the place where Dvalin is sleeping, but he took me drinking instead."
Wendy clicked her tongue, thinking to herself that Kaeya had really gone all out, even though she herself had also contributed some of her divine power.
Let's let it go for the sake of the wine, and just put in the extra effort to look for it yourself.
Wind, tell me where Dvalin is.
A gentle breeze swept by, and the entire Wind Dragon Ruins emitted a strange fluctuation.
"Tsk, Dekalapian, the Lone King of the Tower, are you still wondering?"
He doesn't want to come to this place. Every time he comes here, he thinks of that great battle from back then, and of the boy who sacrificed his life.
There are also tornadoes that have not dissipated for over two thousand years and the mysteries surrounding them.
"How can a protective cage bind a free bird?"
"Dekalapian, sometimes you have to learn to let go."
"Huh? Dvalin, so you're here...."
Wendy flew to a secluded place, and the scene there stunned him.
This is a cave, and because it's where Dvalin sleeps, we can call it a dragon's lair.
It must have been a dragon's lair...
Because now it's already half collapsed.
There is a large rock next to Dvalin's head. Judging from its position and angle, it must have fallen from the sky and hit Dvalin's head.
"..."
Wendy silently took two steps outside and looked around. The towering ruins of the Lone King, and later the Wind Dragon ruins, were now completely reduced to ruins.
"..."
"hiss--!!!"
Alice, what terrible things have you done?!
My poor Dvalin has suffered such an undeserved misfortune!
Wendy hugged Dvalin's big head tenderly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm coming to save you."
Wendy took out the horse charm that Zhong Gui had given him and placed it on Tvalin's body.
At that moment, he noticed the poisonous blood on Dvalin's body.
Five hundred years ago, during the Calamity of Kel'Thuzad, the poison dragon Durin attacked Mondstadt. At that time, the Lionfang Knights were in vain, and the Knights of Favonius were in short supply.
The people of Mondstadt prayed for the arrival of the Anemo Archon, but he wasn't in Mondstadt at the time, having not yet returned from Kornria. So he summoned Dvalin with his will.
Dwarin cleaved Dulin in the throat and killed him on Dragon Ridge Mountain.
"It seems you swallowed Dulin's poisonous blood 4.7 back then. You've suffered quite a bit over the years, haven't you?"
Wendy looked at the large rock beside her. "Should I thank Alice for knocking you out completely?"
The agonizing Tvalin was knocked unconscious. After being tormented for so many years, he could finally get a good night's sleep. Because of his extreme weakness, he has not woken up yet unless someone wakes him up.
For example, the Abyss Order...
"It should be just ahead."
"That's right, Dvalin is sleeping right here."
A hoarse voice and an aura that made Wendy extremely uncomfortable came from outside the dragon's lair...

Chapter 200 Zhong Gui: We are all fans of Barbatos!
"Don't even think about being reincarnated!"
Even in his weakest state, Venti is still a god, not someone a mage from the Abyss Order can easily mess with.
But this next one is not so easy to deal with.
"Huh? It turned out to be you?"
Wendy looked at the man who had suddenly appeared and said in surprise.
Kong, a former traveler, has a deep connection with Canria.
Just as the Abyss Mage died, he stepped out of the portal.
"I remember your name is Sora, right?"
Wendy glanced worriedly at Dvalin behind her, then drew her bow and aimed at the air.
"I've run into quite a few people named Kong lately, and he happens to have a younger sister."
Kong frowned; the drunkard seemed to be implying something.
"Barbatos, how did you end up here?"
"Huh? This is Mondstadt, the home of Dvalin. Why can't I be here?"
Kong remained silent for a moment, then turned around, opened the portal, and left.
"Just take care of yourself."
Wendy: "..."
"Barbatos..."
"Dvalin? You're awake!"
When Dvalin opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the green poet, and then the empty space that disappeared at the end.
"You actually waited for me here."
At that moment, the Giant 04 Dragon felt that everything it had done was worthwhile.
"Haha~" Wendy scratched her head awkwardly.
"what happened?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Wendy quickly pointed to the horse charm on Dvalin's neck. "Don't shake it, or it'll fall off."
Dvalin used the wind to bring it to his eyes, "What is this? Hmm—"
Wendy quickly returned it to him, saying, "I told you not to move around. This was given to me by their young lord in Liyue. It's incredibly effective for injuries."
