People in Mondstadt, starting to develop black technology

Hastily prepared balloons were released and flowers were sprinkled on the knights. At this time, they were no longer as solemn and dignified as when they went to battle, but waved enthusiastically to the people on both sides.

A triumphant return should look triumphant, and it won’t go wrong to be happy.

Shen Qin walked low-key beside the Sun Destroyer. He looked up as if he had noticed something and saw Tartaglia standing beside him and waving at him.

He pointed in the direction of the cathedral, and Tartaglia nodded to show that he understood.

After returning to the Knights Templar, Jean announced that all the knights who went on the expedition would be given two days off and would resume normal work the day after tomorrow. The captains of each team would organize a celebration banquet at noon today.

"Captain Qin, let's get together again tonight! Without this meal, the celebration party will feel a little less interesting!" Amber suggested to Qin with a smile.

"Great! Klee is going to eat lots of delicious food!"

Klee was so happy. These days, Shen Qin and his team were busy developing the Sun Destroyer, and the other members of the Knights Templar also had things to do, so there was no one to play with her.

In order to prevent her from making trouble, Qin asked her to go to the factory to help make stun bombs. She was very excited at first, but got bored in less than half a day. After all, how could mechanical and repetitive work be as fun as researching new bombs?

Now that the dragon disaster is finally over, I can go out and play with brother Shen Qin and sister Shatang again!

"That's a good suggestion. Let's hold a banquet at Angel's Gift tonight. It's my treat." Diluk said.

Originally, it would have been most appropriate to hold the celebration banquet at the Dawn Winery, but the dragon disaster had just ended and the Knights must have a lot of things to do, and no one could spare the time. It would be much more convenient at the Angel's Gift, and we could go home and rest directly after the banquet.

"But there is still a lot of work to do..." Qin looked around and saw everyone's expectant eyes, so she was relieved, "Then let's go to the Angel's Gift tonight!"

"Yeah!" Amber high-fived Kelly happily.

Qin also smiled. Today was a rare opportunity, so it would be nice to relax for a while. However, she would have to work hard again starting tomorrow.

Diluk saw Qin relaxing and smiled barely perceptible.

Everyone agreed on a time for the party in the evening, and then went about their business. Several captains had to arrange celebration parties for their respective teams, Diluk had to prepare the evening banquet, Lisa was being lazy, and Noelle asked Sucrose and Klee to help Diluk prepare the dishes for the dinner.

"Shen Qin, I don't know if it's convenient for you. I want to talk to you about something." Keqing looked at Shen Qin.

"How about this afternoon or tomorrow? I have an appointment with Tartaglia of Zhidong, and he is waiting for me at the cathedral now." Shen Qin didn't think there was anything to hide, and said frankly that he wanted to meet him.

Qin frowned, "Sir...you should be careful when dealing with him."

"It's okay, I'll stay with him." Albedo said.

This morning everyone was shocked by the "attack" suffered by Shen Qin. They didn't expect that Shatang and the other three, as well as the reconnaissance team, were all hit. This reminded them of the promise they had made to protect him, and they couldn't help but blush.

In fact, this was not their fault. It was just that Kong was too strong and had no ill will towards Shen Qin. Even Harrow did not react immediately.

When reviewing the situation with Harrow and Adie afterwards, Harrow said that he had not concluded that Sora had any ill will towards him. By the time Noelle and the others fell unconscious, he and Adie had been isolated by the energy of the abyss.

Of course, Shen Qin also secretly told them not to tell anyone about Kong’s appearance, otherwise it would be bad if it got to Ying. At least now was not the right time for them to meet.

Keqing made the appointment for tomorrow. She also planned to relax today, stroll around Mondstadt, and buy some Mondstadt specialties.

Shen Qin and Albedo came to the cathedral. Tartaglia's identity was very sensitive, and she would not be allowed to enter the cathedral without someone to lead her.

At the moment, he was standing at the door and talking to Victor, the Fatui envoy. He patted Victor on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will transfer you back to Winter Solstice in a while... Or do you want to go to Xumi? The work there is quite easy, and the scenery is nice too. Working there is almost like a vacation."

Victor hesitated a little: "Well... Mr. Executive, I want to think about it. Anyway, it is better than staying in West Wind Cathedral every day and being hostile to others."

"Okay, think about it. When you're done, just send me a message and I'll arrange it for you."

Tartaglia saw Shen Qin and the others out of the corner of his eye, turned around and greeted them: "You are finally here!"

Victor had good eyesight and left quietly, muttering, "I have to ask a traveler to help me get some Mondstadt specialties before I leave..."

"Let's go."

Shen Qin brought Tartaglia to the basement and took out the Heart of God from Haro's stomach, but did not give it to him: "How about it, you Fatui want to make a deal with me?"

"Of course, exchanging Mora for the Heart of God, there is no such good thing in the world." Tartaglia handed him a contract, "Rosalin has been transferred from Mond. From now on, as long as you are in Mond, she will never set foot here."

"But 25% of the shares of Northland Bank is still too much. We are willing to offer 20% of the shares and 50 million Mora, and the other conditions remain unchanged."

Tartaglia looked at Shen Qin sincerely.

In fact, several executives of the Fatui were unwilling to do so at first. In their words, - Why should we exchange our own interests for something we can grab for free?

However, after the Great Sun Destroyer severely injured the demonized Tevarin with a blow, Commander Piero, who got the news from somewhere, immediately issued an order to Tartaglia through a secret line, agreeing to the deal with Shen Qin.

After all, with the Sun Destroyer, Mond is no longer a target they can easily control.

Chapter 109: What is the drinking capacity of the Gunhild family?

Shen Qin carefully checked the contract, signed his name after confirming that there was no problem, handed the Heart of God to Tartaglia, and received 20% of the shares of Northland Bank and a banknote with a face value of 50 million.

"It's a pleasure working with you!" Tartaglia shook hands with Shen Qin. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting the Heart of God.

Shen Qin smiled and invited: "Would you like to go to the Cat's Tail Tavern for a drink? I'll treat you."

Tartaglia couldn't help swallowing his saliva as he recalled the delicious wine he tasted that day, but he still shook his head and carefully placed the Heart of God that had been checked and confirmed in a box: "You know, I have to send the Heart of God back to Winter as soon as possible... Next time, I'll buy you a drink next time I have a chance."

"Or we can make an appointment again when you have time to go to Liyue in the future."

Tartaglia left with the Heart of God. Albedo couldn't help but complain, "Can't you go somewhere else? Isn't it a bit too much to trade the Heart of God as an item in the Cathedral of the West Wind, a place of faith for the God of Wind?"

Shen Qin then realized that this was indeed a bit too much, but he had always been a non-religious materialist and had never realized this problem.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, so he said to Albedo: "Let's go, let's leave quickly."

Albedo looked at his sneaky eyes and said helplessly: "Behave normally and don't be too nervous. If you say something wrong by accident, it will be troublesome."

Shen Qin was going to leave the cathedral to avoid the nuns and priests, but they all knew that he was involved in the operation to save the East Wind Dragon, the former subordinate of the God of Wind. Therefore, when they saw him, they would greet him enthusiastically and say, "May the God of Wind bless you." This made him even more afraid to look directly into their pious eyes.

"Mr. Shen Qin!" A joyful voice sounded behind him.

Shen Qin turned around helplessly and greeted Barbara who was jogging towards him: "Miss Barbara."

"It's so great to see you return safely. It must be the Lord Wind God who is protecting you." She placed her right hand on her heart and said piously.

Shen Qin: “…”

Albedo looked at Shen Qin's dazed expression and couldn't help laughing. He said to Barbara, "Miss Barbara, we just came back from outside the city and haven't even had lunch yet. What can I do for you?"

"Ah? Mr. Albedo, I'm so sorry to have delayed your lunch." She said a little embarrassedly, "But I have something to ask Shen Qin."

"what's up?"

"Could you please help me make a batch of smart bracelets? Because many patients come to the church for treatment every day, the pastors are a little overwhelmed. If the bracelets have analysis functions, we can improve our work efficiency a lot." Barbara made her request seriously.

She was afraid that Shen Qin would refuse, so she quickly added: "If necessary, in addition to the normal compensation, I can also sing a few songs for you, and it's not impossible to dance for you!"

After saying that her face turned a little red.

She remembered that the last time Shen Qin gave her a smart bracelet, he asked her to sing a song, thinking that he liked listening to her singing.

"Ah - there's no need for singing and dancing. I can help with making the bracelet. The church just needs to provide reasonable compensation." Shen Qin agreed readily.

Although making smart bracelets for priests is charity, it is better to abide by some reasonable business rules to avoid more trouble. Shen Qin is not a pushover.

Barbara felt a little disappointed when she heard his words, but she was still very happy that Shen Qin agreed to her request.

Albedo looked at Barbara, then at Shen Qin, and felt relieved for Sucrose - Shen Qin was such a simple-minded guy, there was no need to worry about him being abducted by another girl.

But it is a little difficult to make him understand Satang's feelings unless she is more proactive.

The two went to the Deer Hunter for a free lunch, and at Shen Qin's strong request, they went to the Cat's Tail Tavern to sit for a while. Then they wandered around Mondstadt and unknowingly came to the Angel's Gift, where they helped arrange the decorations and dishes for the evening party.

As night fell, guests arrived one after another, and everyone was in place before the appointed time.

In addition to the members of the Knights, Diluk, Venti, Barbara, Rosaria, Keqing and Seleucus also participated in the party. Everyone made their own contributions to eliminating the dragon disaster.

Before the party officially started, everyone strongly requested Qin to give a speech for today's celebration banquet. She couldn't resist them, so she had to use her professional ability and said, "Today is a day worth celebrating. I would like to offer a glass of wine to everyone first."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine/apple brew in them one by one.

Jean's cheeks flushed slightly, and she relaxed a little under the influence of alcohol: "Everyone has made a lot of efforts for Mondstadt. First of all, Senior Diluc. He is not a member of the Knights, but his private army cooperated with the Knights to do a lot of investigation work when sweeping monsters. He also participated in a series of crucial combat operations. Senior, I toast to you!"

Everyone applauded and cheered, toasting Diluk together.

"Mr. Serius, the Adventurer's Association he led participated in the rescue work after the dragon disaster and also assisted the Knights in the early sweep of monsters in Mondstadt. I toast to you!"

"Amber, Kaia, and Eula, they have completed the task of sweeping away the monsters perfectly. They are three very outstanding captains of the Knights. I toast to them each!"

“Klee, the stun bomb she invented has given the Knights many more tactics. Her bombs (which were confiscated over the years) have also provided the Knights with powerful firepower support. Let’s toast to Klee together!”

"Noelle, thank you for your diligence in taking care of the logistics of the Knights. In my heart, you are a true knight. I toast to you!"

"Barbara, she has saved countless Mond lives. We know that as long as she is with us, we will never have to worry about getting hurt! I toast to you!"

"Rosalia, although the church has complained to me about her being late and leaving early many times, she always rushes to the front line on the battlefield. She is not only a nun of the church, but also a knight of the Knights Templar. I toast to you!"

"Keqing, she is from Liyue, but she lent a helping hand to Mondstadt without hesitation when it was in the most dangerous time. May the friendship between Mondstadt and Liyue last forever. I toast to you!"

"Lisa, Albedo, and Sucrose, they are all the best alchemists in the Knights. Although they have participated in very few battles, the efforts and contributions they have made are no less than those of the warriors on the battlefield. I toast to you each!"

"Wendy...May you always be the wind of freedom. I toast to you!"

Qin was a little drunk. She raised her glass and said to Shen Qin, "Shen Qin, without you, Mondstadt wouldn't have changed so much, and the dragon disaster wouldn't have gone through so smoothly. You've done so much for Mondstadt, and we all know it. I won't say anything more. I toast you with this glass of wine!"

Everyone stood up and toasted Shen Qin.

After sixteen glasses of wine, Qin's eyes were a little blurry, but her mind was still sharp and her words were still clear.

What is the drinking capacity of the Gunhild family?

Chapter 110 These are my gifts to Mond

"Finally, I would like to thank our reliable partners Ying and Paimon. They were just travelers who were accidentally caught up in the dragon disaster, but they enthusiastically provided a lot of help in solving the dragon disaster. If it weren't for Ying to purify the poisonous blood curse, our East Wind Dragon would probably still be unable to get rid of the pain. I toast to you each!"

After Qin finished her speech, everyone became more casual. Some ate what they were supposed to eat, some drank what they were supposed to drink, and when they were full they went off to play and no one cared.

Noel was originally a guest, but she unconsciously and instinctively began to take care of everyone. As soon as Kaia finished his drink, she picked up the bottle and filled his glass. Over there, Klee wanted to drink secretly, so she quickly ran over to stop her.

Serius and Diluc were discussing the future cooperation between Dawn Winery and the Adventurer's Guild. The two parties had already cooperated on many matters. During the monster cleansing operation led by the Knights, Serius took a fancy to the military qualities of the guards of Dawn Winery and hoped to hire some of them to the association to guide some adventure groups.

Amber, Eula and Sucrose were discussing going to the snow mountain to take a hot spring bath together in a few days. Needless to say, it was Eula who proposed this.

Ying sat next to Keqing and asked her about the situation in Liyue. She did not get any useful information about Sora in Mondstadt, so she planned to go to Liyue to consult the Rock God Morax next.

Keqing told her that Liyue’s annual ceremony of inviting the immortals would be held soon, and Prince Yan would appear in Liyue at that time, and she could help introduce him to her.

Barbara came to Qin with concern and reminded her sister not to drink too much.

Lisa and Rosalia, two lazy people who don't like working, sat in a corner drinking, both with melancholy looks on their faces.

Witch: "When I think about having to get up early to go to work tomorrow, I don't seem to be very happy to get up!"

Sister: "I would rather go back to the battlefield and fight than attend boring church activities."

The two looked at each other and sighed heavily at the same time.

Albedo was pestering Paimon and joking with her, "I hope to study your body structure. It would be even better if I could dissect it... What? Will you die? Don't worry, you can trust my skills." The little girl was scared and almost cried.

In comparison, Shen Qin was the busiest of all, because from time to time people came to toast him, and his alcohol tolerance was limited, so he had to hide on the balcony and enjoy the cool night breeze to clear his mind.

"Why did you come out too?" Wendy leaned on the railing with a bottle of wine, looking at the bustling street in front of Angel's Gift.

Mondstadt was filled with a festive atmosphere throughout the day, and they were not the only ones having dinner and parties.

"I really... can't hold my liquor." Shen Qin sighed. Those guys were definitely doing it on purpose. As soon as he put down his wine glass, the next person to toast him ran up, leaving him no time to even eat a bite of food.

Now, my stomach is full of wine and I’m so full that I can’t eat any food.

"Fortunately, Master Diluk prepared small wine glasses today. If they brought bottles to toast you, you wouldn't have anywhere to cry." Wendy smiled and raised the bottle of wine in her hand.

Shen Qin rolled his eyes at him and said nothing. The two of them just looked at the lights of thousands of homes in silence.

"That's great! I originally thought that I woke up from my slumber because I was about to witness another dramatic change in Mondstadt, but I didn't expect that the crisis in Tevarin passed without any major problems, and Mondstadt's losses were not that great."

Wendy sighed, then looked at Shen Qin: "When it first attacked the city, my strength had not yet fully recovered, and I could only try my best to reduce the damage it caused to Mondstadt. At that time, it was thanks to you that you stopped the monster at the city gate."

"Later, you created the Sky Shield System, the Bolter, and the Sun Destroyer. Not only did they solve the dragon plague, but they also increased Mond's strength several times. I don't know how to repay you."

"Haven't you already given me your reward?" Shen Qin was referring to the Heart of God.

"It's just a gift from me to you."

"These are also my gifts to Mond."
