Chapter 125: Meeting of the Two Gods
Zhongli receives a commission from Ningguang to travel to Mondstadt. Originally, Zhongli wanted to refuse. However, after listening to Ningguang, Anping gained Durin's vitality on the Snow Mountain of Mondstadt.
Zhongli came to be interested. It's also safe to beat him and Barbatos in advance. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've drunk Mondstadt's dandelion.
So Zhongli and Hu Tao took a leave of absence and went to Mondstadt. As soon as he entered Mondstadt, Zhongli saw a bard in a green hat, green clothes, and white stockings selling songs and wine, singing beautifully and with beautiful strings.
He was surrounded by an audience that bought a lot of wine in exchange for his singing, and the bard's face was already slightly drunk.
Zhongli smiled, paused to listen. The misty-eyed bard saw the dark golden child's holes in the crowd, and suddenly his voice was out of tune, and his hand playing the piano trembled uncontrollably.
"Ahhhh
"I'm sorry everyone, but that's the end of today's performance, my throat is a little uncomfortable, we'll see you another day... See you another day..."The audience dispersed unsatisfied.
Wendy wanted to blend in with the crowd and walk quietly, but after thinking about it, she couldn't escape the old man's eyes, so she honestly walked up to say hello.
"It's been a long time, how did you old man have time to walk around Mondstadt." Wendy squeezed out a smile and greeted her.
"I was entrusted by someone, and I happened to see you singing here, so I stopped to listen, and I haven't raised a glass to drink together for a long time, listening to you play the piano and sing." As if remembering the time when the seven gods gathered, Zhongli's tone was a little sentimental.
"That's right! I've buried a few jugs of old wine in the wind, which I was originally going to give to you, I'm going to dig them out now, and we'll raise a glass to drink tonight!" After Wendy finished speaking, she wanted to put oil on the soles of her feet, but Zhongli held her shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'll go with you when the time comes, take me for a walk around Mondstadt first, and take me to enjoy the scenery of the Free State."
"Ahh It's also too... You've been here for a long time, and I'm supposed to be a tour guide. "Wendy was about to cry.
The old man in the city will definitely not be able to wipe his face and beat him, but there is usually no one in the wind... He should have forgotten about the counterfeiting of his signature back then, right?
I should have forgotten about it!? I shouldn't have dragged An Ping to drink a few days ago... He swore that he really didn't know that Anping would be so bold and fat after drinking.
Zhongli didn't rush to the Knights to find Anping, and followed Wendy around Mondstadt. If Liyue is characterized by a bustling port that symbolizes wealth, then the land of Mondstadt must be represented by the city's spinning windmills.
But today, it was very unfortunate that Zhongli had just stopped to look up at the historic windmill when he heard an explosion, and the blades of the windmill tilted to one side, and fireworks rose from above.
"What's the trouble with Mondstadt?" Seeing this scene, Zhongli couldn't help but ask.
"What's the trouble, it should be Klee playing with the bomb again, it's that Alice's daughter, Alice you should know..." Then it is not surprising.
In order to prevent Liyue's terrain from being inexplicably destroyed, Zhongli had guarded her alone. Didn't you think that woman would have children too?
"Whew, I'm so sorry! I'm pretty good at crafting, so let me help you make a new one... What? Prohibition of child labor? "But my daughter is really just like her... It's kind of interesting.
After a casual stroll around the city, Wendy felt that the old man had finally come to Mondstadt, and that it would be a misservice not to invite him to some local food.
So he took Zhongli to the Deer Hunter's Restaurant, sat down and ordered a few dishes, and asked for two glasses of wine.
"I think you don't eat fish, you don't order fish, otherwise the fish in Fruit Wine Lake would be a must-have in Mondstadt. Although this wine is not as good as the old wine I buried, it is better than freshness and has a unique flavor. β
"It's okay, just have fun." Mondstadt's food is a little bit more soothing to Zhongli, but it's full of freedom.
This meal was accompanied by two glasses of wine, and the two of them, who had lost their past godly status, ate very comfortably on this noisy street.
However, when it was time to settle the bill, Wendy groped in her clothes for a long time, and finally remembered that all the Mora earned from Angel's Gift last night was bought and drunk by him on the spot.
"I'll do it anyway." Seeing his old friend's face look embarrassed, Zhongli didn't intend to see his jokes.
As a result, after Zhongli touched it for a long time, he found that he forgot to bring his wallet. Ningguang gave him plenty of money, but he was used to not carrying a wallet in Liyue, and he forgot the necessities of walking in the world when he went out this time.
"You didn't forget to bring it too, did you..."Wendy looked at Zhongli and didn't take out his wallet, recalling Anping's complaint, it turns out that what he said is not an exaggeration at all?
Miss Sarah, who was holding the bill, looked at the two who couldn't find their wallets for a long time, but her expression was a little embarrassed, and it was rare to meet such a guest.
"It's okay, just send the bill to the Afterlife Hall." Zhongli confidently picked up the empty wine glass and took a sip.
Afterlife?! Miss Sarah, who had never been out in Mondstadt, had no idea where it was!
"Thatβ" Miss Sarah's expression became even more embarrassed.
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, I just forgot to bring the money. Don't worry, Miss Sarah, we are good friends of the two honorary knights, and we will never pay for it, and with their reputation, we will definitely send you the money for the meal before tonight. β
"That's... Well, don't forget. "Thankfully, Miss Sarah remembered that the bard was often with the Knights of Honor.
Otherwise, the gods of the two countries would have attracted the Knight of Favonius because Mora could not afford to pay a meal, and even they would not be able to afford to lose this god.
The two disgraced fellows don't have the heart to hang out, and Zhongli asks Wendy to take him to the Knights of Favonius.
"Sure enough, you're here for that little guy?" Wendy had already heard about the things on the snowy mountain, and the moment she saw Zhongli, Wendy guessed that the old man was probably here for peace.
"Not really, but I didn't expect you to let him run around in Mondstadt."
"There are so many fuses in Mondstadt, it doesn't matter if there is one more, let the people of Mondstadt solve their own affairs." Wendy clasped her hands to the back of her head and blew a cheerful tune.
"You're free-spirited."
"The wind is always free, and so are the people who believe in it." Arriving at the Knights, Zhongli grabbed Wendy's back collar again, who wanted to take the opportunity to open up, and dragged him in.
