"By the way, young man, you just said that the rock told you..."
Wendy seemed to be referring to something, but she still kept her eyes fixed on the rock element in Jiang Ning's hand.
This rock element... it must be the old man's aura, and there's even a bit of the earth's authority in it.
Is the old man about to step down and hand over the reins to a more capable successor?
Venti is quick-witted, so it's absolutely necessary to build a good relationship with him for the sake of Mondstadt and Liyue's future relationship.
Jiang Ning said, "Yes, I always feel that there is an ominous aura... probably coming from the northwest."
Northwest of Windrise… Wendy’s eyes darkened. Is that Dvalin? That direction leads to the Wind Dragon Ruins.
"The wind also told me, but unfortunately, I have only been awake for a short time and my divine power is almost gone. I am willing but unable to do anything about it."
Wendy laughed without a care in the world.
Jiang Ning asked in confusion, "Just woke up? Why? And what about your divine power?"
Wendy said, "Well, it seems the old man didn't tell you. Well, I won't say anything more. Anyway, it's just because of some things. Just treat me as an injured person who is recovering."
Jiang Ning nodded: "Okay..."
However, Jiang Ning didn't quite believe Wendy's words.
After all, the Venti in the game's storyline is completely unreliable.
Moreover, according to ancient records, the seven gods, besides being powerful demon gods themselves, also received the blessing of faith from their followers after becoming the seven rulers of the mortal world...
Based on my experiences in Mondstadt these past two days, I feel like even a dog on the street would say, "May the wind god protect you."
Does this old man have no strength at all? Nobody believes that.
Since Wendy is willing to play along, Jiang Ning will take it all in stride.
"By the way, Wendy, when we got here, it felt like there were treasure hunters and monsters everywhere, and even quite a few Fatui."
"What's going on with you Mondstadt players?"
Even if the Fatui are rampant and domineering, in Liyue they can only hide like rats in the gutter.
But in Mondstadt, it feels like their home ground.
Wendy said, "This is Mondstadt's freedom and inclusiveness, and besides, there's the Knights of Favonius, isn't there?"
However, his expression looked suspiciously guilty.
Jiang Ning fell silent. Well, that's really unreliable...
However, this is their national affair, and there's no need for me to meddle. It's a thankless task, and if handled poorly, it could just cause a lot of trouble...
[Task issued: Please help Commander Qin resolve the issue of one person handling all tasks, large and small, resulting in a severely unreasonable work distribution. Reward: A buff that removes negative status effects.]
Whether or not the knight is rewarded is irrelevant. What matters is that I, Jiang Ning, am a kind-hearted citizen. Seeing such a bad thing happening, it is my duty to step up.
"System, why are you suddenly being so generous with rewards? Wasn't it because I've mastered embroidery needles?"
Jiang Ning asked silently.
[Since we've chosen a faction, the rewards should definitely be increased a bit.]
The system said.
It seems I'll need to learn more about the practical aspects of the ensemble leader's work later on...
Well, it's just helping a friend; it doesn't count as interfering in other countries' politics.
"Well, they are allies of Liyue after all. I'll ask them about it later... It's also for better cooperation in the future."
Jiang Ning said.
Wendy and Jiang Ning were arm in arm, and despite their similar heights, they looked surprisingly harmonious.
"I knew it! This guy is a kind-hearted fellow. Would you like me to play you a tune? Or, I can buy you a drink!"
Jiang Ning asked, "You haven't been awake long, do you have Mora?"
“I’m the best bard in Mondstadt! I can pay with my performances,” Wendy said with great pride.
Jiang Ning said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I am a minor and cannot drink alcohol."
He didn't want to go there, where Wendy would treat him and he'd have to pay the bill himself, or he'd be detained there for drinking without paying.
Wendy: "Hehe."
Shen He looked at his junior brother interacting with Wendy and felt somewhat bewildered.
When did my junior brother become so close to the Wind God of Mondstadt?
And what are they saying?
Shen He felt very uncomfortable with this feeling of being excluded.
71. You're so arrogant!
After exchanging ideas, they each had a preliminary impression of each other.
Jiang Ning felt that this Wind God was just like someone in a game, hehe, weird.
Wendy, on the other hand, felt that the old man had good taste; the child made a very good first impression.
Wendy seemed to have something else to do, so she made an excuse and left.
The direction we left in...
Jiang Ning's eyes flashed. That place should be the Wind Dragon Ruins, right?
So, the plot should be starting soon...
Upon returning to Mondstadt, Jiang Ning arrived at the entrance of the Goethe Hotel and found Hui Xin and two Thousand Rock Army soldiers standing there with grim expressions.
In front of them stood a man dressed in black and wearing a mask.
There were also two tall, thin people wearing cloaks and leather jackets.
Fools? And debt collectors?
Jiang Ning frowned. No, why are these Fools always haunting us wherever we go?
Jiang Ning walked over and overheard their argument.
"In conclusion, we, the Fools, are prepared to book the entire Goethe Hotel as our base. You'd better find somewhere else."
Huixin's expression was grim, but her tone remained relatively calm: "You mean, we, Liyue, are going to let you suffer until winter?"
"Is this your intention, or Zhidong's intention?"
In just a few words, the matter was elevated to the level of relations between nations.
Huixin was fearless, after all, she was on a diplomatic mission representing Liyue, and she had the authority and obligation to protect Liyue's reputation.
If they really give in, outsiders will think that Liyue is afraid of Zhidong.
Moreover, the principle of first come, first served is inherently reasonable.
Even if it escalates to the Seven Stars or even the Emperor, we are absolutely not afraid.
And on the other side? Just a lowly advisor to the Fools. Huixin, as a high-ranking member of the Moon Sea Pavilion, knew that this advisor was basically only responsible for daily affairs and wasn't really a diplomat...
Under normal circumstances, Zhi Dong would definitely try to save face, and then his side would compromise a little, so that neither face is lost nor the superficial harmony is damaged.
However, the person on the other side seemed to be a fool, or someone who was used to being arrogant.
He crossed his arms and said, "Hmph, doesn't Liyue still rely on us, Winter, to suppress the monsters of the Laminariat? Don't worry about whether it's Winter's idea or not, anyway, we, the Fatui, are definitely going to book this hotel."
"If you refuse, then our executive officer will come to talk to you."
Executive officer? Which one?
Huixin frowned.
There's not a whisper of it, something feels off... I might remind the troupe leader about it later.
Moreover, this group of fools in front of me is really brainless. How could they possibly reveal such information?
Seeing that Huixin remained silent, he assumed she was scared, and became even more smug: "If you don't move out quickly, I'm going to take action."
The two debt collectors behind them were also eager to make their move.
Huixin felt like a scholar encountering a soldier; the Qianyan Army behind her gripped their spears tightly, their faces filled with anger.
Save Wu Ling Yiba Mio Jiuling Wine
However, objectively speaking, the ordinary soldiers of the Chiiwa Army are definitely no match for the debt collectors of the Fools.
Huixin's face also turned cold: "Absolutely not. If your executive officer wants to come, then let him come! I want to see what makes you, Zhidong, so arrogant."
The atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point, and tensions rose sharply.
Seeing that something was wrong, the nearby Knights of Favonius rushed in to report to Commander Jean.
The fact that Liyue and Winter have clashed in Mondstadt is no small matter.
Meanwhile, the Mondstadt crowd around them looked at Liyue with a hint of envy, for some reason.
This is the confidence that the Rock King Emperor gave them... On the other hand, the Knights of Favonius were completely useless on their side.
The advisor of the Fools simply snorted and waved his hand, sending the debt collectors behind him rushing out like arrows.
This is clearly not the first time this has been done.
Behind Huixin, Qianyan Army gritted their teeth, preparing to step forward.
Even if it means death, I cannot let the fools look down on me.
However, even with awareness, the difference in combat power is obvious.
The first blow repelled the Thousand Rock Army, and the second was a slash aimed at the neck—this was truly intended to kill!
Hui Xin was shocked and furious. How dare the Fools? This is Mondstadt territory, not Winterfall. Moreover, they are an envoy from Liyue!
"As solid as a rock".
Jiang Ning finally made his move. At the critical moment, the three Liyue people present were all surrounded by a shield.
This is the same shield as Master Zhongli's. Although its defense and durability are not as good as his, it is enough to deal with these fools.
