Looking at the golden meteorites descending from the sky, the bandit group's expressions changed drastically, and they instinctively wanted to flee.
However, they were horrified to find their bodies petrified, unable to move.
Divine wrath descends from the heavens; mortals have nowhere to hide!
Looking at the massive meteorites in the sky, the villagers also swallowed hard.
They were also ordinary people, facing the overwhelming pressure, their legs uncontrollably trembling.
Among the crowd, Rosaria looked up, quietly gazing at the meteorites in the sky, her expression devoid of any fear.
When Makoto appeared, riding Dvalin, Rosaria had already regarded him as a savior.
Rosaria believed that heroes would only punish bad people, and good people would not be harmed.
It was at this moment that golden Jade Shields appeared around everyone's bodies.
This was Mr. Zhongli's second constellation effect: when meteorites fall, he provides shields to friendly forces within range.
When Makoto extracted the skill, this effect was also brought over completely intact.
Upon seeing the shield in front of her, Rosaria's eyes showed delight.
She knew that a hero would never harm good people!
The Little One looked up, staring intently at Makoto in the sky.
At this moment, he had many things he wanted to say to the hero.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The moment the meteorites touched the ground, the earth shook violently, and deafening explosions rang out one after another.
Golden light spread out like a tide, dispelling the darkness.
Fortunately, the villagers were protected by the Jade Shield, so no one was harmed.
After the light receded, the villagers noticed that the meteorites had smashed a deep pit into the ground, and the bandit group was in the pit, having turned into stone statues.
Looking at the bottomless stone pit, the villagers were deeply shaken.
If the meteorites had hit the village at that time, the entire village would have been instantly flattened.
Is this the power of a hero?
It's truly terrifying!
While everyone was in shock, Rosaria secretly clenched her small fists; he had a different opinion.
Rosaria felt that the hero's power was far more than this.
He must have held back his strength and not fully unleashed it; it must be so!
Perhaps Makoto himself didn't expect to unexpectedly gain a little fan, Rosaria, on this trip.
"Are you all alright?"
When Dvalin landed, Makoto and his group jumped off the dragon's back.
"We're fine, we're fine, thank you, hero, for saving us!"
The villagers, having come to their senses, repeatedly shook their heads, indicating they were safe and sound.
"Hero, thanks to you today, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable..."
"Yes, hero, you don't know how dangerous it was just now."
The villagers recalled the bandit group's viciousness and became even more grateful to Makoto.
They kept calling him "hero" again and again.
Seeing the villagers' excessive enthusiasm, Makoto quickly waved his hand: "Actually, everyone doesn't need to be so polite, just call me Makoto."
Makoto...
Rosaria secretly memorized the name in her heart.
When he grew up, he also wanted to uphold justice and punish bad people like Makoto Gege!
At this moment, his father noticed a resolute gleam in Rosaria's eyes.
The reticent middle-aged man was full of concern: "Little One, what's wrong with you?"
Rosaria was too embarrassed to voice his thoughts and stammered, "You'll understand when you're my age."
Rosaria's father:???
At this point, the village chief began to arrange accommodation for Makoto and his group.
After all, it was already very late, and they couldn't possibly let the heroes who saved the village not even have a place to rest their feet.
Rosaria immediately ran out and said in a tender voice, "Makoto Gege, stay at my house, my house is quite big!"
As the words fell, Makoto was stunned. How did this line sound so familiar?
It seemed to be a phrase he often said.
Now, the tables had turned, and a Little One was inviting him home?
Makoto looked down in the direction of the voice, his gaze meeting Rosaria's.
He recognized the Little One Rosaria at a glance.
Because he hadn't experienced the change with the bandit group, Rosaria's eyes weren't cold, but innocent, enthusiastic, and lively.
"Little One, what's your name?"
Makoto squatted down and rubbed Rosaria's head.
The Little One looked up and answered earnestly: "Rosaria, Makoto Gege, my name is Rosaria!"
"Rosaria, thank you for your kindness, but Big Brother still has something to do later."
"How about I come play with you another day?"
Makoto glanced at the sky; there wasn't much time left until dawn.
He had to go back to watch the sunrise with Ganyu; he really couldn't stay any longer.
"Alright." Although Rosaria was disappointed, he still nodded sensibly.
Noticing Rosaria's disappointed expression, Makoto added, "How about this: if you go to Mondstadt during the Windblume Festival, I'll take you to play."
"Really?"
As the words fell, Rosaria's eyes lit up with renewed joy.
He had never been to Mondstadt before, come to think of it.
This year, he would go to Mondstadt for the Windblume Festival!
"Makoto Gege, it's a deal, let's pinky promise!"
Rosaria extended his right pinky finger, his face full of seriousness.
"Okay, pinky promise! The one who lies is Barbatos."
Makoto squatted down and pinky-promised with Rosaria.
Venti, who was nearby, paused for a moment and slowly made a question mark.
When I make this question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.
Venti turned his head, no longer looking at Makoto.
This was to tell Makoto that he was angry, the kind that couldn't be appeased without two bottles of dandelion wine.
"This year's Windblume Festival... I want to go to Mondstadt, can I?" Looking at Makoto's back, Rosaria looked up and said to his parents.
