Genshin Impact: The Recorder of All Things

Diluc was away from Mondstadt for three years, while Kaeya often drank with Venti.

Is this the kind of person the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt is? Good heavens, even Kaeya would feel ashamed.

But how could he say so many philosophical things? Is he just faking it all the time?

I don't think so. Just like myself, I'm quite different when I'm working and when I'm drinking. It's just a different state of mind.

The only thing that gave Kaeya some comfort was that the Wind God was an acquaintance, which made things much easier.

In the evening, Wendy and Zhongli returned to the Hall of Rebirth. As soon as they reached the door, Wendy's expression changed.

Sniffing like a dog, I followed the scent inside. "It smells like Mondstadt apple wine!"

The wind god likes apples, and even more so, apple wine.

It may not taste very good to others, but it is definitely the best wine in Wendy's eyes.

"Hmm? Lord Diluc? Kaeya? Long time no see, hehehehe~"

The familiar voice, the familiar slap-worthy face—Diluc felt a sense of despair. How could he be the Wind God?

Kaeya: "I brought you this wine. You didn't even say goodbye before leaving Mondstadt. At least take us with you."

Kaia smiled and handed the drink to Wendy, seemingly unconcerned about who he was.

"For me? It's free!?" Holy crap, after drinking so much, Diluc is finally giving himself something for free?

Diluc: "This is a gift for Liyue. I just gave you a bottle."

Wendy's eyes darted around. "Seeing Lord Diluc here, do you know who I am?"

Wendy never hid her identity; in fact, she told everyone, but nobody believed her.

I, Barbatos, need your money!

Who could believe that? It's only because Mondstadt is so free that no one has punished him for his remarks.

Now that so many people from Sumeru and Inazuma have arrived, news of my presence in Liyue will spread quickly. Diluc and Kaeya have already tracked me down here, so it seems the news has been exposed.

Wendy: "Um, Lord Diluc..."

"I'll forgive your past debts, but you'd better pay your bills honestly from now on!"

Venti smacked his lips. To be honest, he used to be happy to hear these things for a long time, but he has learned a lot since coming to Liyue.

Zhongli: "Send the bill to the Hall of Rebirth (Zhonggui, Qunyu Pavilion)."

Without Ray and Nasita even saying a word, Ayaka Kamisato and Elhesen automatically stepped forward to pay the bill.

When will I be able to: "Send the bill to the Knights of Favonius!"

Hehehe~

However, Wendy felt that she had no right to say such things since she hadn't done anything; being able to get free drinks a few times just because of the Wind God's name was already great.

Zhong Li strolled over like an old man, and the two were taken aback when they saw Zhong Li, who looked very much like Zhong Gui.

0 ····Requesting flowers···· ·······

Wendy: "Grandpa, you're too slow."

Zhongli said calmly, "We will eventually reach the end, there's no need to rush."

Venti's "hint" was already quite clear: "Greetings, Lord Geo." ×2.

“My two young friends, there’s no need for such formalities. I am merely a guest of the Hall of Rebirth. Call me Zhongli Bianke.”

"bell……"

"Judging from your expressions, you two young friends seem to know my son, Zhong Gui?"

"We have met several times."

"Then let the waiter take you two on a tour of Liyue and let you see its famous historical sites."

"sure."

Zhongli left after chatting for a while, and Diluc and Kaeya breathed a sigh of relief.

.. ........ ...

Neither of them were naive or unsophisticated, especially Kaiya, who was adept at speaking to people in a certain way and to ghosts in a different way, so she wouldn't be so reserved. But today, they were both having trouble speaking properly.

Wendy: "How about that? The old man is amazing, isn't he? Even if you don't know his identity, just his presence alone makes people afraid to speak loudly, and you know that someone extraordinary has arrived."

“Indeed,” Kaiya said, wiping imaginary sweat from his forehead. “I suddenly feel much more comfortable around the Wind God.”

Wendy: "Hehe~"

Kaeya had also thought about how to get along with Wendy, but after meeting Wendy, he suddenly realized that none of his original plans were useful. He should just get along with her the way he used to, otherwise everyone would feel awkward.

We're friends now, why overthink it? I don't need anything from Feng Shen, and he might even need to borrow some money for drinks.

Kaiya: "Want some drinks?"

Wendy: "Let's drink!"

Wendy pulled the two of them toward the small pavilion they usually paid attention to. "Come on, come on, let me show you the wine from another world that my nephew gave me. Try it all."

Diluc: "..."

Diluc didn't want to go at first, since he doesn't drink, but when he heard about the alcohol in the other world, he wanted to go and see it.

And a nephew? I never expected Zhong Gui to be the son of the Rock God. I guessed wrong after all.

That evening, when Hu Tao returned to the Hall of Rebirth, she specifically asked if any new guests had come to the house. She received a reply from two Mondstadt men, and she breathed a sigh of relief, finally relieved that the meal was over.

Chapter 84 The Immortal Invitation Ceremony

Several days have passed, and everyone has had their fun. Since there are some things that cannot be said in letters, Kaiya writes to the leader of the band every day about what they did that day.

The letters I've been reading these past few days have made the troupe leader frown. Did you all go on a publicly funded trip?

If she hadn't known that although Kaiya was usually carefree, he was reliable when it came to serious matters, she would have sent him back long ago.

And with Diluc coming along, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

"Chairwoman Jean, Klee wants to go too!"

"Don't go!"

"Oh—" Klee lowered her head, and the light of the sun that had fled Mondstadt dimmed instantly.

"Ugh……"

What's going on? Kaeya went to play, and Klee, who couldn't find her brother Kaeya, saw Kaeya's letter and discovered that he had gone to Liyue for a trip. She started making a fuss about going too.

Qin wouldn't let her go, so she secretly went to "283". Qin had no choice but to put her in solitary confinement for two days.

The result today still holds the same thought...

"Klee, Kaeya will be back tomorrow. How about he takes you to play when he gets back?"

While patting Klee's head, Jean suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, Klee, Diluc-senpai went along too."

"Hmm? Then Klee won't go." Klee's expression changed, and she quickly waved her hand.

That strange adult is the type Klee isn't good at dealing with. Why doesn't he smile?

Jean breathed a sigh of relief; Klee should be alright now.

Meanwhile, in Liyue, the Summoning Ceremony has arrived.

Liyue Harbor was bustling as usual today. Although the "Seven Stars Summoning Ceremony" was about to begin, that was, after all, the thing that big merchants were most concerned about.

For some small business owners and ordinary residents, Yujingtai is now a "tourist attraction" that locals don't visit.

The Rock King Emperor is highly respected, but seeing him once a year can get tiresome... Forgive me, I can't see the Emperor every year anyway, so I might as well go shopping instead.

Besides, it's packed with people there, there's nothing to see.

The Jade Capital Terrace was already quite crowded; it was a sea of ​​people, a veritable sea of ​​heads.

If the bedrock of Liyue Harbor weren't solid enough, Zhong Gui would have been afraid it would collapse.

At this moment, Zhong Gui was floating in a cloud in the sky, waiting for the signal from below.

Inside the Moon Sea Pavilion, Ke Qing was tidying her clothes; only Ning Guang and Gan Yu were in the room.

Ningguang: "Are you ready?"

Ke Qing: "I'm ready, I have no problem."

Ningguang: "You've memorized it all?"

Ke Qing: "I've memorized them all!"

This year's invocation ceremony for the immortals is different from usual; it includes spoken lines.

The questions she, as the host, should ask have already been predetermined, and the process has already been set.

In the past, Ke Qing would definitely have disagreed and would have questioned the Emperor during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony.

Originally, she had a plan in her mind that she had been preparing for for several years, and she was just waiting to put it into practice.

That is to ask the Emperor directly during the invocation ceremony: "Your Majesty has protected Liyue for a thousand years, but will it be the same for the next thousand years, ten thousand years, or a hundred thousand years?"

She had long harbored resentment towards Li Yue, the emperor who made decisions on a whim.
