Genshin Impact: The Recorder of All Things

Wanmintang private room.

What restaurant best represents Liyue?

It's not Ruri-tei or Shingetsu-ken, the names of Rina and Tsukina, but Manmin-do.

A myriad of flavors from all walks of life, the ultimate expression of human experience.

No matter how delicious the food was, it meant nothing to the gods. Even the "poorest" wind god cared more about the atmosphere of the human world.

The Dragon King hadn't eaten Liyue's food in a long time. He was most interested in the lives of ordinary people because they represented Liyue and showed him how far the people of Liyue had developed.

As for Thor—

"Not very sweet."

Venti chug down a bottle of Liyue's fine wine, then said to the indifferent Shadow, "Hey, Shadow, you're here for a meal, not for snacks."

"Aren't those the same thing?"

"Um...you eat desserts and meals every day?" Wendy was stunned. "How much would that cost?"

It's common knowledge that snacks are definitely more expensive than regular meals, especially delicate desserts.

"Is it expensive? I don't know. They usually just bring me whatever I ask for." Ying picked up a piece of food and put it in her mouth. "Hmm, it tastes good, full of homey flavor."

This is the taste of home. Ying couldn't help but think of her sister. Her sister could cook. Although Inazuma food and Liyue food are different, the feelings inside are the same.

"Mora...Zhongli, how do you usually eat?"

Zhongli glanced at the curious Wendy, then called out to the outside.

A waiter came in shortly after. As a famous restaurant in Liyue, Wanmintang certainly couldn't only have two chefs, Chef Mao and Xiangling. They employed various odd jobs, as well as Chef Mao's apprentices and many other people.

The waiter came in with a smile and said, "Mr. Zhongli, what can I do for you?"

Few people in Liyue Harbor are unfamiliar with Zhongli, especially those in restaurants, teahouses, and luxury stores.

Among the restaurants, Wanmintang, Liuliting, and Xinyuexuan are of paramount importance.

Zhongli waved his hand and said, "Put a copy of the menu on me, and record the bill in my account."

"Yes, Mr. Zhongli."

Zhongli has always been a major customer of everyone in Liyue Harbor, which is why Zhongli, who pays for services, is able to know so many people.

Wendy: "..."

What kind of operation is this? Why have I never seen it before?

“Zhong Gui has prepaid Mora in most shops for my consumption,” Zhong Li said casually, pouring himself a glass of wine.

Wendy licked his lips, remembering those days.

Back in the day, I could drink for free. (In the early days of New Mondstadt, the ancestors of Mr. Lu had just established the Dawn Winery, and the ancestors of the Leygenfender family were among the pioneers who followed that young man in establishing New Mondstadt.)

Back in the day, someone would pay for my drinks. (During Vanessa's presidency, she had to clean up after the wind god's messes while handling state affairs.)

nowadays……

Wendy took a bitter sip of her drink; even Diluc was almost no longer buying his own alcohol.

"If you reveal your identity, you can drink yourself into oblivion every day."

Zhong Gui carried Nasita in and said to Wendy.

From Wendy's questions and his expression, Zhong Gui knew what he was thinking.

"Then let's forget about it. There's a king above us, how can we be free?" Wendy smiled nonchalantly.

"Is the freedom commanded by the god of liberty truly freedom?"

"Hmm?" Wendy slowly swallowed the wine that had been bulging out of the frog's mouth. "What do you mean? Mondstadt has already developed its own free order. Is there any freedom to be commanded?"

Mondstadt can be said to have never had any gods from the very beginning.

Ever since he stumbled upon a lucky break and became a god, he has been relentlessly stirring up a storm in Mondstadt.

The winds blow away the snow, flatten the mountains, and turn rocks into fertile soil; the gentle monsoon winds forever secure Mondstadt.

After that, he started sleeping, only occasionally venturing out as a bard.

The people of Mondstadt are now almost convinced that Aeolus doesn't exist, because no one has ever seen him.

Mondstadt has always been a country ruled by men. Although it has experienced various setbacks, it has now developed a system that suits its own needs and has never needed gods.

Wendy pondered for a long time: Had anyone in Mondstadt ever been commanded by her? Did anyone even know of her existence?

"They're not from Mondstadt, they're from somewhere else."

"Something else?"

At this point, Dvalin was still asleep, and Wendy herself had not given Dvalin any orders.

The god of liberty granted Dvalin freedom, which Dvalin believed was a gift from the gods. Initially, this was fine, but once his mind became distorted and he started to get stuck on trivial matters, problems began to arise one after another.

Tvalin is still asleep, and Zhong Gui doesn't want to say much more.

So instead of answering Wendy, he lifted Narcida up and exclaimed, "Look who's here!"

Venti: "Liyue... has a third generation?"

Is the succession in Liyue moving so fast? I thought it would take another year or two for the third generation to emerge. How come they're already so old?

Shadow: "Is there the aura of the Great Tree King?"

It's somewhat similar, but not entirely.

Wendy: "Your child with the Great Tree King!?"

Zhong Gui glanced at him. This guy didn't even think the Great Compassion Tree King was dead. Did this Wind God know something?

Why are you looking at me like that? Heh heh.

Zhongli thought for a moment and said, "She must be the Little Lucky Grass King?"

The Dragon King, who had been drinking Liyue wine and eating Liyue food without saying a word, looked up and asked with a smile, "Little girl, what's your name?"

"Naxi Da, greetings to all the seniors!"

Because she was being held up, Nasita could only nod shyly at everyone as a form of greeting.

“The official name is—Mahayana Sukhavati Mahāprabhāsa Wisdom Lord Buyar,” Zhong Gui said, placing Naxida on the ground.

Upon hearing this name, the three gods paused slightly in their hands, which were holding wine glasses.

The Dragon King, noticing the three gods' actions, was somewhat puzzled. "What's wrong?"

“No, it’s nothing.” Zhongli looked at Naxida seriously, and finally sighed.

Nasida: "..."

Nasita blinked her big eyes. At that moment, she thought of many things, including why her older brother wouldn't give her the Heart of God.

Zhong Gui had a hellish joke from his past life—

Barbatos doesn't have Barba (his father, the boy who gave him his current appearance), Morax doesn't have Mora, Balzeb doesn't have Bal, Buyer doesn't have Buyer...

Baal's successor is called Balzeb, not the second Baal.

Even setting aside the disrespect for ancestors, the names of the gods would not be the same, even if it were just for the sake of distinction.

That great tree king, the goddess of wisdom, and the goddess full of life like a jungle, was named Bouyel.

So, is Sumeru truly a second-generation deity? Did the Great Tree King actually pass away?

Ying looked around and suddenly realized that Zhongli and Wendy's expressions were actually different from hers.

These two probably know more than she does... just like her wise older sister back then.

P.S.: I saw a comment asking if Orpheus was in the group, so I quickly checked Chapter 10. Actually, I accidentally included Orpheus in Chapter 10. I originally planned to include him, but then I changed it to Sakura Kinomoto. Also, there's a character summary at the end of Chapter 10, which wasn't corrected earlier. If I were to correct it now, I'd have to contact the editor. I thought it would be simpler to just state this (laughs). Thank you so much for pointing out the mistake. Thank you so much!

Chapter 52 Wendy: My gift is just a fraction of what others get.

None of the first gods were simple.

The Rock God is the oldest and knows the most secrets, but he cannot reveal them due to certain contracts.

The Wind God... seems like a scoundrel, claiming to be the weakest god, but the gentle breezes that have flowed throughout Mondstadt for thousands of years have never stopped.

Moreover, the Wind God, the Wind God... Zhong Gui suspected that he knew the most gossip from the wind.

The original Thor, Baal...

Zhong Gui: "She might be a [shadow]."

In Teyvat, the power of Heavenly Principle and the four shadows is truly formidable.

Buyer, the god of wisdom, the embodiment of the World Tree, the encyclopedia of Teyvat, and the spy on everyone's privacy...

Gentle and kind, yet decisive and ruthless.

She knew everything the Red King had done from beginning to end, and she also knew all the possible consequences.

But she didn't stop her.

Of course, the Red King also knew that the Tree King knew what he was going to do, and only with someone to back him up could he do it without any scruples.

Cough cough, none of these are of any use now.
