"I'll wait for you here. Go inside by yourself."
Upon arriving at the entrance of a cave, the Great Compassion Tree King looked inside with disgust and refused to go any further.
"why?"
Bai Mu was puzzled. He looked at it from left to right, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
“There is a force inside that goes against ‘life’, and that force makes me very uncomfortable. I don’t want to go in.”
The Great Tree King pointed to the aura emanating from the cave and explained.
"Alright then, you stay here and don't move. I'll be right back."
......
Inside the pitch-black cave, the white wood slowly ventured deeper along the crimson veins that stretched out from the depths.
Although the cave was pitch black, the darkness was no problem for Bai Mu.
"Dong dong..."
"Dong dong..."
Just as Bai Mu was about to reach the end of the cave, a series of heartbeats suddenly came from the end of the cave.
The sound of his heartbeat was incredibly strong, as if it were trying to guide Shiraki in that direction.
Hearing the heartbeat, Bai Mu didn't hesitate and swaggered towards the deepest part of the cave.
......
As soon as they reached the end of the cave, Shiraki saw a huge, strange heart-shaped organ hanging on the wall at the end.
The heart was about the height of two people, and countless blood vessels extended outwards from around it, making it look quite eerie.
Although he had seen this heart in the game, experiencing it in person this time still shocked Shiraki once again.
This thing is just so cool!
Looking at the strange heart in front of him, Shiraki suddenly felt an urge to move the cave away.
Wouldn't hanging this on the wall of a general store be cooler than those Heart of God items?
Then, Shiraki reached out and touched the heart.
Just as Bai Mu placed his hand on his heart, a slightly childish voice suddenly rang in his ear.
"My kind...please...I will leave...and save you..."
Hearing the ambiguous, childish voice beside him, Shiramu frowned slightly.
Judging from the voice, he had no idea who the voice belonged to.
However, upon closer examination, Shiraki could guess who the voice belonged to.
In this snow-capped mountain, in this place, the only one who can be called his kind is Dulin.
Thinking of this, Bai Mu directly transmitted a message to the heart:
Are you Dulin?
The heart, or rather Dulin, began to beat faster after receiving Bai Mu's message.
At the same time, that childish voice rang in Bai Mu's ears once again:
"Yes... Dulin... wants to go out..."
"Dulin... doesn't want... power..."
"Dulin didn't want to... ruin things..."
"Dulin just wants to hear...beautiful piano music."
The voices around him became more and more coherent, and Shiraki confirmed the identity of the voice's owner.
It is the dragon Durin.
However, Dulin's voice was quite different from what Bai Mu had imagined.
Who would have thought that the dragon Durin, who once ravaged Mondstadt, would have a voice as childlike as a child's?
With his hand on Dulin's heart, Bai Mu was momentarily unsure of what to do.
He was wondering whether or not he should rescue Dulin.
Although Dulin's words make one feel sorry for him, it is undeniable that he once caused great disaster to Mondstadt.
Under these circumstances, Shiraki felt that he first needed to see Wendy's attitude.
If Wendy agrees to release Doolin, he can naturally help Doolin get out.
Conversely, if Wendy disagrees, there's nothing he can do to help.
However, Shiraki believes that Wendy will most likely agree to release Doolin.
Because Dulin no longer has a physical body, it is only through this heart that his consciousness has been preserved to this day.
It's estimated that Wendy knew about Dooling's situation at the time, which is why he was able to preserve Dooling's consciousness.
Otherwise, given Wendy's abilities, she would surely know about Doolin's situation.
...
"I can't get you out of here right now."
"However, if you can promise not to use this power again, I can plead for the gods here, and maybe they will let you out."
Bai Mu drew a wisp of that unsettling power from the void, allowing Dulin to sense it.
Dulin was initially very upset after learning that Shiraki wouldn't help him.
But when it learned that there was still a chance for things to turn around, it became excited instantly.
"Dulin never imagined that the power his mother gave him would be a disaster for others."
"If Dulin had known sooner, he wouldn't have brought disaster upon people."
“Fellow traveler, Dulin assures you and Lord Wind God that Dulin will never use this power again.”
"If Dulin uses that power again, Brother Abedo will die immediately."
Dulin, in his childish voice, earnestly made some promises to Bai Mu.
As fellow "children" of Rheindorf, Aberdo also visited Dulin several times after Dulin's death.
Although Aberdo knew that Dulin's consciousness still existed, he was unable to extract Dulin's consciousness attached to his heart due to a lack of knowledge in this area.
Even so, Dulin greatly admires his older brother, Abedo.
In its eyes, besides its mother, Aberdo was the only one in the world who treated it the best.
Therefore, Dulin always considered losing Abedo the most painful thing.
That is why Dulin used Aberdo's death as an oath.
