Chapter Seventy-One: It's all Nanshuo's fault
Wendy felt irritable.
As the fish-touching god of Mondstadt, his life has always been lighthearted and lightly melancholy.
Although Wendy sometimes feels confused, it disappears with a few glasses of dandelion wine.
But today, Wendy felt irritable and helpless for the first time in a long time.
Just after Wendy begged for a few thousand moras for wine from Nanshuo, a "black-hearted capitalist", Nanshuo pulled Zhongli into his "little black house" and began to discuss the future direction of Teyvat.
Naturally, Wendy wouldn't get involved in it, and he was so free that he preferred to go to the tavern for a few drinks rather than discuss those grand plans.
For things that have already been bet on, Wendy is not interested in putting her heart and soul into it on the premise of having two "good teammates".
But......
Nan Shuo and Zhong Li, who had been in the different space for about half an hour, came out and were no longer full of ambition before entering.
Nanshuo went directly to the third floor and lay down on the balcony to bask in the sun, while Zhongli walked into the film production studio specially opened up for him by Nanshuo, and began to produce (remake) some film and television works made by Nanshuo.
"Hey, what the hell are you two talking about in there! Why did you suddenly start working, hey! Aren't you going to do something upside down? ”
Wendy asked loudly with her hands on the table in front of Zhongli.
"What are you doing? What are you talking about, Wendy? ”
Zhongli looked at Wendy with a puzzled expression, rubbed his temples and said slowly:
"Haven't we been talking about the next movie before, although our cinema business is improving, but the film reserve is too small, and the audience will soon get tired of it.
Moreover, even if you have always had a big opinion of the one in Sky Island, and you have always been at odds with that person in the open and dark, you can't be so arrogant and say that you want to turn the world upside down, after all, the voice here may also be conveyed. ”
Zhongli gave Wendy a thumbs up with a "you're so brave" expression.
"I'm xx, you're xx."
Wendy's heart is full of MMP now, obviously Nanshuo and the Empress of Winter are doing something, although you Zhongli didn't do anything out of the ordinary on the surface, but he is not a good bird, and he actually has the face to say that I am so arrogant that I want to do something upside down! It's really ......
"I'll tell Xiao and the girl from the Afterlife!"
Wendy ran out of the movie theater, he just wanted to leave this place of heart and go to [Angel's Gift] for a drink or two.
"Oh, don't!"
Zhongli stretched out his hand to catch up and stop Wendy, but Nanshuo had made too many strangely shaped machines in this room, Wendy's small body was easy to say, Zhongli's words were basically nowhere to go.
“!!”
When Zhongli was about to touch Wendy's pigtail, he tripped over a black and thick thread under his feet, and fell straight to the ground, and due to the domino effect, the machines around him fell one after another, and smashed on his back.
Now that the Immortal Ceremony is almost here, Zhongli is not in Liyue on official business and has come to Mondstadt to fish, and the immortals under the Emperor's command feel that something is wrong, and the Emperor's "daughter" Hu Tao, the master of the Afterlife Hall, is also troubled by the fact that her mysterious guest has disappeared for several days, and she has even gone to Wufu Slope to issue missing person notices to some ghosts.
Of course, the issuance of missing person notices is just to interact with the ghosts and better surpass them, after all, Zhongli often disappears inexplicably, and Hall Master Hu is used to it.
But even so, Zhongli didn't want Wendy to spread the news about his work in Nanshuo...... The main thing is the fear of embarrassment.
………………。
Wendy was staring blankly on the streets of Mondstadt when a red figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
Detective Knight Amber is talking to several armored Knights of Favonius.
Curious, Venti stepped forward and blew the contents of their conversation through the breeze that was ubiquitous in Mondstadt.
"The convoy of [Drunken Gap] has been attacked by wolves?"
"Yes, although there have been no casualties so far, it really doesn't bode well, sooner or later there will be casualties when the wolf pack attacks the convoy, whether it is a man or a wolf."
"Well, I see, I'll investigate the truth of the matter, what's going on with Mondstadt? It's a dragon plague and a wolf pack, so let's open a Mondstadt Zoo. ”
“…… Captain Amber, how ...... your conversation?"
"Ahh I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on lately, I'm a little out of shape at work, maybe I've been going to the newly opened movie theater a lot lately. ”
…………………。
"Is it another one who was taken crooked by Nanshuo......"
Wendy covered her face, recalling the serious Zhongli and the lively and cheerful scout knight before, Nanshuo, the god of darkness, was really terrifying.
"But...... Wolves? ”
Wendy looked in the direction of the Running Wolf Leader.
Andreus...... Could it be that you ......"
A complicated look flashed in Wendy's eyes, and she shook her head and left the matter behind.
"Let's go to a bar first."
Humming a popular ballad from the early days of New Mondstadt, Wendy bounced to the Angel's Gift tavern.
"Yo bartender, give me a barrel of good cider, I'm going to have a good drink today."
Wendy pushed open the door to the tavern and shouted loudly with her eyes closed.
But after waiting for a long time and not hearing the bartender's voice, Wendy opened her eyes in confusion, and happened to meet Diluc's complicated eyes at the bar.
For a moment, the air was filled with an aura of embarrassment.
Wendy hadn't seen Diluc in a few days since the incident ended, and Charles had been standing at the bar in the tavern.
But I didn't expect to meet this ...... today Mondstadt Regal ......
Diluc also felt embarrassed at this time, since that unspeakable thing happened to Kaeya in front of Jean, Diluc had locked himself in his room for a few days, on the one hand, to digest Karzan's power, and on the other hand, to avoid the few people led by Nanshuo.
But Charles's wife was about to give birth suddenly, and the winery couldn't find anyone who could replace him for a while, so Diluc had to pinch his nose and go to the tavern.
I originally thought that I would say that the tavern was closed when it was almost time, but I didn't expect to meet Wendy not long after I arrived.
The two looked at each other like this, neither of them spoke, and just as the atmosphere was about to drop to zero and the air was about to freeze, Wendy broke the silence.
"Ah, isn't this Grandpa Diluc? Long time no see......"
"Ah...... Indeed, it is true that I haven't seen you for a long time......"
The corners of Diluc's mouth twitched and he looked at Wendy with an embarrassed smile.
In the face of this drunkard, he could still contain his desire to escape, after all, he had seen the picture of this drunkard sleeping on the street. Moreover, the other party, as the god of Mondstadt, Diluc, will eventually feel more relaxed in front of Wendy than Nanshuo.
"Well, why didn't you see Kaeya, did you go to the Knights on duty?"
Venti surveyed the tavern and noticed that there were few people, and Kaeya, whom she would see from time to time, was not in a small dark corner.
But as soon as she said this, Wendy regretted it, and the atmosphere that had been slightly eased instantly solidified again, Wendy looked at Diluc, whose face became extremely gloomy, and a few drops of cold sweat oozed from her forehead.
"The next time I see Nan Shuo, I'm already going to find something to plug his mouth."
Wendy hates Nanshuo so much now, and blames this guy for distorting his brain circuit.
