Reincarnated Rock Prince, you're saying this is Douluo Continent?

Chapter 46, Section 46: Isn't "knowledge" also a kind of wealth?

"Lord Barbatos, you are a bard, could you play us a tune?"

After saying this, Paimon winked her big eyes at Zhongli.

Zhong Li's eye twitched, sensing that this little guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes had a rebellious streak!
Knowing full well that it was just an alias and that he was actually a person, they still made this request.

Fortunately, Zhongli wasn't someone who grew up to be a pushover!
As a friend of Barbatos, and also a friend of Gui Zhong and A Ping, it's reasonable that he "knows a little" about music.
“Since Paimon wants to hear it, then I will play a piece.”

After saying this, Zhongli took out a storage soul tool from his pocket, as if he wanted to take out a musical instrument from the storage soul tool.

In reality, energy was mobilized, forming the shape of a zither, which appeared in his hand.

"Hey Barbatos, what are you doing with the zither? You should be using the harp!"

Paimon asked in confusion.

The guzheng exists in the Douluo Continent and is one of the musical instruments, but few people use it.

After all, there are all sorts of martial spirits, and it's possible for one to be a guzheng (a traditional Chinese zither).

Zhongli: "..."

Zhongli took out the harp from his storage soul tool again and put away the guzheng before glancing at Paimon.

This little guy...

"I have some knowledge of the harp, but I am afraid that my skills are not good enough and I will be ridiculed."

“Since Paimon wants to hear it, then play it on the harp.”

Bei Bei, Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, and Tang Ya glanced at "Barbatos" and then at Paimon, feeling that something was wrong, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

The two of them seem... somewhat familiar?

But they were clearly meeting for the first time...

No one had any objection to what instrument "Barbatos" used, since they didn't really know much about it anyway.

As a Soul Master, one should focus on cultivating Soul Power. Other matters can be dabbled in only a little. Being too proficient in them would be putting the cart before the horse.

As Zhongli plucked the strings, Paimon felt as if she had heard this music before, as if she had heard a real Barbatos play and sing it.

"Hiss~ As expected of Zhongli, although his imitation of the character is not quite right, his harp playing is quite impressive!"

"Could it be that Wendy taught him?"

Believe it or not, it's really true.

Liyue and Mondstadt are adjacent to each other. Since the Seven Archons took office, Venti often visits Liyue, and the two places have frequent interactions.

As the song of freedom and the heavens began to play, Beibei and the others simply felt that it sounded nice, but couldn't quite explain why.

A moment later, the music stopped, and Zhongli put away his harp.

"Not bad, Barbatos! But you're still a little bit lacking compared to Wendy!"

To be honest, while Zhongli might be able to beat Wendy on other instruments, he probably had no chance on the harp.

The number one bard of Teyvat is no joke.

Zhongli waved his hand and said, "If I have the chance to meet Wendy, I will definitely ask her for advice."

Beibei and the others were stunned and somewhat confused. Although they couldn't understand the deeper meaning of the music, they thought the skill was just good.

Is she not as good as that Wendy?
Also, isn't this "Barbatos" being a bit too modest?
He actually said he only had a rudimentary understanding...

What is the situation like in the world outside of Soul Masters?

Bei Bei, Tang Ya, Huo Yuhao, and Xiao Xiao all fell into deep thought.

Fifteen minutes later, Xiao Xiao stood up and asked Bei Bei, "Brother Bei Bei, how much is this whole roasted lamb?"

She was about to pay the bill and leave, then continue showing "Barbatos" around Liyue.

Upon hearing this, Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Huo Yuhao exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

“This Lord Barbatos has already paid. Such beautiful music is unlikely to be heard a second time,” Bebe said, waving his hand.

The bards have their own payment methods, as long as the boss accepts them, which is perfect, as Beibei and the others are willing to accept them.

"what?"

Xiao Xiao was taken aback, somewhat confused.

The second whole roasted lamb was a gift from Huo Yuhao to Paimon, but the first whole roasted lamb was ordered by them, so they should pay for it.

But Beibei and the others said they would pay with music?

What is the purpose of opening this barbecue restaurant?
Huo Yuhao and the others are not here to make money, but to enjoy the entire barbecue process.

Making money is just a bonus.

Zhongli sat upright like a bell, his face expressionless.

This kind of "transaction" has appeared in Liyue before, as long as the boss is willing to accept it.

Isn't knowledge a kind of wealth?

At that moment, Paimon flew up from his seat and came to Bebe's side.

She took out a golden object from her bosom and handed it to Beibei.

Bebe and the others subconsciously looked at the object in Paimon's hand, and with just one glance, they recognized that it was not a Gold Soul Coin.

This object is entirely amber in color and radiates a golden glow, making it appear extremely valuable.

"Brother Huo Yuhao, Miss Tang Ya, Brother Bei Bei, if you treat Paimon to a whole roasted lamb, Paimon will give you a Mora!"

"This is the first Mora in the Douluo Continent!"

"It was made by Zhongli and contains a trace of Zhongli's divine power. It can be used as currency. As for its other uses, Paimon doesn't know."

Indeed, Mora was a creation of the demon god, and naturally contained a trace of Morax's divine power.

Upon hearing this, the four of them were shocked and looked at Mora in Paimon's hand with disbelief.

Can it be used as currency?
They automatically ignored this!
This is the first Mora on the Douluo Continent, containing a trace of the God of War's divine power!

That's the important point!
This thing carries divine power! Even if it's extremely rare, even if there's only a trace of it, its value might be even greater than a 100,000-year-old soul bone!

A 100,000-year-old soul bone is just a soul bone, but this Mora is different. It contains divine power, which means it has a different value.

"Paimon, absolutely not, absolutely not!"

Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao, and Tang Ya quickly waved their hands, looking extremely apprehensive.

A whole roasted lamb, "traded" for a Mora with divine power?

It would be a lie to say I wasn't tempted, but one should be honest!

"Paimon, the whole roasted lamb was our treat, and besides, we've already eaten it, haven't we?"

"You don't need to send us gifts!"

Beibei said, almost in tears.

He really wanted that Mora, but he couldn't do it; it would be against the principles of a gentleman.

It's as if they're using food to trick the Martial God's Martial Soul...

I absolutely cannot accept this Mora.

Xiao Xiao glanced at Paimon, then at the Mora in Paimon's hand, and subconsciously asked, "Paimon, why is this Mora called Mora?"

Gold Soul Coins are made of gold, hence the name.

The origins of Silver Soul Coins and Bronze Soul Coins are also named after the materials they are made from.

Why would the currency created by the God of War be called something as strange as Mora?
