Chapter 101: The Funeral of the Rock God, how could it be without a good bard?

Sasuke nodded, now he was no longer the stunned young man who had just joined Teyvat, when he was in Mondstadt before, without the help of Wendy's Thousand Wind Power, with his ninjutsu strength that had just graduated from the ninja school, he might not know how many times he had pounced.

Liyue was a completely unknown country to him, so prosperous and even more unfathomable.

After a few hours of flying, Sasuke's Tvalin Chakra had finally bottomed out, and fortunately he had flown back to Mondstadt.

I did wronged Paimon before, and it was still quite physically exhausting to fly for a long time.

Folding his wings and disarming his form, Sasuke told Paimon to hold on to himself before running briskly towards Mondstadt.

Mondstadt is recovering from the haze of the Dragonscourge, with workers repairing previously damaged buildings and adventurers wearing Green Adventurers' Guild uniforms gathering outside the gates.

When they meet Sasuke, a hilichurl killer who hasn't been seen in a long time, most of them will say hello in a friendly manner or offer to go to the tavern for a drink together.

It's a pity that Sasuke is not particularly in the mood right now, and after politely refusing, he asked a familiar member of the Adventurers' Guild:

"Is that green-clad bard, the new newcomer in town, still around lately?"

The other party recalled for a moment, and then said:

"You mean the drunkard poet who is allergic to cats? Yesterday I saw him singing in Grandpa Diluc's Angel Gift, and I don't know if he's still there today. ”

"But if that guy wants to drink, he probably won't have anywhere to go except for angel gifts, right? After all, with his physique that is allergic to cats, he definitely can't go to the cat's tail tavern, and he is not allowed to pay for alcohol on credit anywhere else, hahaha! ”

The man seemed to recall the comical sight of Wendy sneezing all the time after seeing the cat, and laughed.

“…… Thank. ”

Wendy, this guy, really doesn't have a god at all, is he so downcast that he needs to sell singing and drinking on credit?

Sasuke sighed inwardly and went with Paimon to the Angel's Gift.

Although it was daytime, there were already a lot of drunkards in the tavern, and among them, Wendy, who was dressed in a green cloak, was undoubtedly very conspicuous, at this time he was stroking a small broken piano that he didn't know where to go, and the other hand was holding a wine bottle, singing loudly a very melodious little tune.

After singing a song, he took a suffocation and bowed to the cheers of the rest of the guests.

"Good! You are the best bard in Mondstadt, and if I hang up in the future, I will definitely ask my family to invite you to sing one at my funeral! ”

"Count me in, when my son gets married in the future, he will definitely look for you."

"My wife is looking for you when she gets married for the second time!"

“……”

Paimon sniffed the skyrocketing wine, covered his nose, and complained:

"Why are these drunkards getting more and more out of tune?"

Charles, the bartender who was wiping his glass, noticed the arrival of Sasuke Uchiha, bowed slightly and asked:

"Hello, guest, honorable hilichurl killer, do you need something?"

Sasuke pointed at Wendy, who was getting more and more excited, and replied:

"Thanks, no, I'm here for him."

Charles understood, and continued to wipe his glass.

Wendy originally wanted to take advantage of the wine to sing another song, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Sasuke who suddenly appeared, and she was a little curious between her eyebrows, so she stopped her movements and walked to Sasuke's side.

"Hey, Sasuke, why are you here, aren't you going to Liyue? Why did you come back so soon, and what happened? ”

Sasuke looked at the door of the hotel and motioned for Wendy to find a quiet place.

Wendy understood, said hello to the rest of the drinking friends who had been drinking together, and left the Angel Gift with Sasuke.

After leaving the tavern, Wendy still had some wine, spoke with a slightly big tongue, and asked with a somewhat slurred speech:

"So...... Come back soon, I guess you're in trouble? ”

Sasuke nodded, and Paimon also preemptively said:

"We've arrived in Liyue and participated in the Immortal Ceremony, but something terrible happened."

"The Rock King Emperor is dead!"

"Morax is dead?!"

This sentence instantly made Wendy's alcohol strength go away, and a gust of wind rose from the soles of his feet, blowing away the wine on his body, and his eyes changed back to clear.

"Go to the wind."

Thousand Winds lifted Sasuke up and led him and Paimon to the big tree in the Wind, his expression becoming more serious than ever.

"What's going on? Can you elaborate on that? ”

Sasuke quickly recounts to Wendy what happened after arriving in Liyue, from asking the Immortals to see the corpse of a dragon-like creature falling from the sky, to the Fatui Childe approaching him and asking him to find the Immortal's plan to clear his name, and handing the talisman to Wendy from the folded bag.

Wendy took the talisman and said after playing with it a little:

"This is an imitation of the Fatui themselves."

"Although it also has the power to drive away demons, it is the power of the Ice Empress of the Winter Kingdom that is used at a deep level, not the power of the rock god, your guess is very right, the actions of the Fatui may have been premeditated, and even imitated the rock god's talisman."

Hearing this, Paimon breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said to Sasuke:

"Wow, Sasuke, it's a good thing you're cautious, otherwise we'd really be pawns in the Fatui conspiracy."

"Then it seems that the Rock King Emperor may really be killed by the Fatui, what should we do?"

Paimon's remark was opposed by Wendy, who shook his head and said:

"No, the Fatui shouldn't have this kind of ability, he is Morax, I know very well how his strength is the same as his Seven Archons, he is absolutely impossible to be plotted by mortals, unless ......"

When he said this, his face changed slightly, as if he remembered something very terrible.

Paimon was very uncomfortable with the sentence break in the middle of his sentence, and he stomped his feet in the air, anxiously urging:

"Unless what? You say. ”

Wendy shook her head to herself, holding her chin with one hand.

"I can probably guess why, but since it happened at Liyue's Immortal Ceremony, the worst didn't happen......

"Let's go, let's go to Liyue together."

"Hey! You're done, Paimon hates Riddlers the most! ”

Paimon was upset by Wendy's desire to speak, and he folded his arms and glared at Wendy.

"Ah, Paimon, I'm just guessing, and the exact truth won't be known until Liyue investigates, so let's go to our old friend's territory first to see what's going on."

"At least a good bard can't be missing a eulogy for him at his funeral, right, Sasuke?"
