Mr. Zhongli, we can't slack off anymore!

Chapter 96 The Angel's Gift

Deer Hunter's Open-Air Restaurant.

Scout Amber led many travelers who hadn't eaten all day to enjoy Mondstadt delicacies.

If Liyue's cuisine is a delicacy, then Mondstadt's cuisine is an enhanced version of white food.

Those who have never been born as a child are blessed!

Those who were once born in the Liuzi family are also blessed!

The dishes also lack imagination and there aren't many varieties.

It's nice to eat this once in a while, but I probably couldn't stand it every day, especially after getting used to Xiangling's cooking.

I've already started to miss Xiangling.

Even if I never return to Liyue in this lifetime, I will still take Xiangling with me!

Kaeya still had matters to attend to with the Knights of Favonius, so he made plans to go for drinks with the traveler that evening, and then entrusted the traveler to Amber.

"Miss Lu Ren, is the food in Mondstadt to your liking?" Amber asked after the traveler finished eating.

"The dishes are different from those in Liyue, so this is quite a novelty for me. You don't need to call me Miss Lu Ren, just call me Lu Ren."

"No! No! Commander Qin said that Miss Lu Ren is an important guest of the Knights and that I must treat her well. It would be too impolite to call her by her first name." Amber hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head in refusal.

Something's fishy! Amber, being such a carefree character, usually wouldn't care about such trivial matters.

unless……

"Is it because Kaeya told you I'm the Rock God that you're being so careful?" the traveler guessed.

"No, no!" Amber's face turned red. "He said the traveler might be the Rock Goddess."

I knew it was so!

He's not the type to play pranks, so does he really think I'm the Rock God?

From his perspective and analytical abilities, perhaps he truly believed it.

The traveler's origins are unknown; he appeared in Liyue after the Geo Archon failed its tribulation (according to Liyue's official account). He came to Liyue's aid when it faced crisis, defeating the Archon in just one day.

Its power has already been witnessed by the residents of Liyue Harbor.

Even Ningguang, the star of Tianquan, held her in the highest esteem. A single letter was enough to persuade Ningguang to hand over invaluable information.

He displayed astonishing strength while traveling with the Knights.

She is at least at the level of a demon god.

Given her Demon God level status and her use of Geo, coupled with her extremely high position in Liyue, her identity is quite obvious.

Following this logic, I actually do seem quite like the Rock God...

If I didn't have a superior's perspective, I might actually have thought I was one!

"I'm not. Sigh... If I really were, I wouldn't need to go on business trips." The traveler gave a very reasonable answer.

They won't be deported.

"It seems...you're right too." Amber couldn't even imagine a god buying real estate in another country.

The traveler's words gradually made her lower her guard, and her expression relaxed considerably.

She certainly couldn't imagine that the Aeolus of Mondstadt was drunk as a stupor at the Angels' Gift.

"Oh, by the way, Miss Lu Ren, do you have a pilot's license?" Amber asked, then immediately contradicted herself: "Someone as capable as you wouldn't need the Wings of Wind."

Is it finally here? Obtain the important item, Wings of Wind!

"I don't have the Wings of Wind, and I've never taken a pilot's test. Aerial combat has always been my weakness. I almost got eaten by a demon god again after falling from the sky, hahaha."

"I think I'll be able to learn how to use the Windwings through professional instruction in Mondstadt," the traveler said enthusiastically.

"Oh? You were almost eaten by a demon! That was dangerous! What happened next? How did you escape?" Amber was very interested in the traveler's experience, her eyes sparkling, and the rabbit hair ornament on her head swaying back and forth.

"There was no spectacular comeback; in the end, a colleague from the Hall of Rebirth saved me." The traveler recalled the scene when he returned to Liyue for the second time.

At that time, I tried every means to see him.

Now they avoid it altogether.

Upon noticing the traveler's expression, Amber assumed that her colleague had been killed in battle.

“Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked. By the way, you just said you wanted to learn how to fly with the Wind Wings, so let me teach you,” Amber suggested.

“Okay!” the traveler agreed.

*

The traveler should not agree.

She stood atop the towering clock tower, her legs trembling with fear of heights.

Why are you not scared at all when you're fighting, but start to get scared when you're in a safe area?

Adrenaline! You should secrete more of it!

"After equipping the Wings of Wind, jump down from here, and the Wings of Wind will unfold and carry you soaring through the air."

"There are natural wind fields in Mondstadt. If you want to maintain your flight altitude, fly towards the wind fields."

Amber gave a brief introduction, then jumped down from the clock tower to demonstrate it to the travelers.

After landing safely, he shouted to the travelers high above, "Don't be afraid! It's very simple!"

Simple? Simple my foot! In the real world, it's an extreme sport!

I've never seen ordinary residents flying around in the sky.

"Miss Traveler, come down. I'll catch you if anything happens!" Amber was quite patient.

"Hey, so you didn't even try Windwing in the end?" Wendy said, finishing the half-bottle of wine in front of her.

In the gift of the angels, the traveler, Wendy, and Kaeya sit side by side at the bar.

The traveler sat between the two, looking distressed.

Yes, she ultimately didn't jump from the clock tower.

"Haha, Miss Lü has something she's afraid of too. She doesn't even want to drink anymore." Kaiya poured the traveler a glass of cider and pushed it in front of her.

“Yes, I think you’re pretty scary too,” the traveler said, staring at the cup in front of him.

"Me?" Kaya's face was full of confusion. "How did I scare you?"

"I'm terrified just to say a single word to you. Dealing with the monsters we encountered on the road wasn't this tiring. Please, can't you let me have a few days of peace, Captain?" The traveler voiced his dissatisfaction.

Having just suffered a setback in life—not daring to use the Wings of Wind—while calming his mind, he dared to speak out about many things.

They are not game characters, but old friends.

"So that's what happened. Sigh... I had no choice. Ever since the fog appeared in Mondstadt, people have been disappearing one after another. The Knights of Favonius could only take conservative measures and prohibit people from leaving the city."

“The Knights desperately need someone like Miss Lu Ren to help us break this deadlock. So my approach was a bit radical, but luckily you're willing to help.” He put away his smile as he said this.

“That’s true,” the traveler agreed.

She thought that if she were Kaeya, she might do the same.

"When I first met Miss Lu Ren, I thought she was a reserved Liyue person, but I didn't expect her to speak so frankly, saving me the trouble of guessing." Kaeya smiled again.

"People can easily say certain things to strangers, but they dare not say anything to those they care about. Hehe." Wendy interjected at the opportune moment, his face flushed with the wine.

"How many bottles have you drunk?" The traveler looked at the pile of empty bottles in front of Wendy, who had been drinking ever since he returned to Mondstadt.

"How much is this... Oh no, I didn't bring enough money. Traveler, do you have any money?" Wendy asked the traveler.

These gods, day after day, don't have a single Mora in their pockets, yet they dare to ask for anything.

"Don't worry, Captain Kaiya's treating today. Drink as much as you want." The time for a counterattack has come, the traveler chuckled to himself.

"Wait, I told you I only invited you." Kaeya's pupils dilated in shock; he hadn't expected this.

"Is that so... Then I'm at a huge disadvantage. I think we should just forget about the collaboration! I don't want to work with stingy people." The traveler turned his back and smiled in Wendy's direction.

"No way. Okay, okay, I'll pay up." Kaeya compromised.

"Captain Kaeya is so generous, why don't you pay off my debts as well?" Wendy seized the opportunity to get some benefits.

Upon hearing that someone was paying their bill, the bartender spread a long bill on the bar counter.

A densely packed list of drinks is displayed from one end of the bar to the other.

“Good idea, count it as one of the 200 drinks. After all, you said I am—very important.”

"Wow, Miss Lu Ren is so ruthless." Kaiya glanced at the entry, a bead of cold sweat sliding down his forehead.
