"I've been doing this for a long time, dad, but you didn't tell me at all."
Gu Sanqiu finally noticed that Zhongli had made up his mind not to say anything to him, and what he meant was probably "You'll know when you get there."
It was very similar to an older young man who was suddenly called out for a dinner party by his family one day. He originally thought it was an ordinary dinner party, but when he sat down, he realized that it was actually a blind date game.
My mentality exploded on the spot.
Zhongli comforted him with a few words: "It's not something too serious. Liyue's situation has stabilized recently. It's good to change places and change your mood."
"You have just become an immortal. Even if you are an immortal whose main job is combat, your state needs to be adjusted. You are familiar with Mondstadt. Just treat it as a short and relaxing journey."
Zhongli patted the stone on Gu Sanqiu's head: "By the way, return this thing to its original owner."
Gu Sanqiu subconsciously raised his head and glanced at this ridiculously heavy stone.
"This thing actually belongs to Wendy?"
"Yes, Thousand Winds Divine Stone."
Gu Sanqiu's eyes suddenly turned pale green. If you put it like that, this thing is one of those precious things that shines with golden light?!
"Caution your eyes."
Zhongli sighed: "This is a method he came up with because he thought it was troublesome. Of course, there are also problems such as Mondstadt's lack of resources and manpower shortage."
"He asked me to make such a stone. After placing the stone in a specific position, you can hear different wind sounds when thousands of winds blow. It can be regarded as a small tool to sort out the climate."
Different voices?
Gu Sanqiu subconsciously input the power of a strong wind, and the stone suddenly glowed with green light, and a sonorous and powerful whistling sound spread to all directions.
"Hey, it's really useful."
"Of course it works."
Zhongli stroked the Thousand Winds Divine Stone and said, "Every detail on it was carved by my own hands. At least after so many years, the subtle features are still accurate when the wind blows."
Wow, does such a stone actually carry the creativity and craftsmanship of the two demon gods?
Gu Sanqiu's eyes were spinning wildly. He couldn't do anything in front of his father. After sending this thing back to Mondstadt, Wendy would definitely not put it away carefully due to her personality. She would probably throw it into the secret treasure house of the West Wind Church, or put it away casually.
in one place.
Mondstadt is a free country. The wine industry and tourism industry are extremely developed. Businesses and tourists come and go all day and night. It is reasonable for there to be so many snitches and thieves with good hands and eyes, right?
Want, want very much.
"By the way, Dad, since this thing is very important to Mondstadt, how did it come to you? It shouldn't be."
Listen to the voice of a thousand winds, a tool that helps sort out the climate and the wind of freedom. Even if Wendy doesn't care about it after getting familiar with the authority, the West Wind Church should put it away quite seriously.
Just like her disciples, if she knew that Liyue still had the "miraculous stone" of Lord Barbatos, she would probably follow her this time, and she might even beg Gu Sanqiu to give the stone to her.
Send it back to the West Wind Church.
"That's the problem."
Zhongli shook his head: "Back then, that alcoholic poet came to Liyue with a lot of wine and side dishes to find me. He said that the Thousand Winds Divine Stone was of no use anymore, but he had new ideas."
"As a result, he held a rather grand singing ceremony in Liyue, with no restrictions on themes and everyone could participate."
"The Qianfeng Divine Stone is exactly the performance stage he prepared for it. The accompaniment and free atmosphere of Qianfeng will help the singers to produce the most suitable wind sound."
"After that, he got very drunk and flew back to Mondstadt in a daze. He also forgot to take back the Thousand Winds Stone that was used as a performance stage."
Gu Sanqiu opened his mouth and almost didn't recover from this operation.
As expected of you, Barbatos!
This kind of thing that can already be called an artifact is used as a performance stage, but you, an old and crooked person, still don't know how to play it!
"Wait a minute, with Wendy's financial resources, how can he get the money to hold a large-scale celebration? He can't even afford it by selling himself!"
Zhongli calmly touched Gu Sanqiu's head: "Although that alcoholic poet has no sense of elegance, he is still a demon after all."
"When he wants to make money, he has a way."
?
Gu Sanqiu expressed disbelief: "Is it so profitable to be a bard and sing poetry in Liyue?"
"That would be too slow. If you want to prepare a celebration, the only source of income is to let a bard earn hard money. Yuehai Pavilion will definitely not allow it."
Zhong Li suddenly smiled: "So, he searched outside Liyue Port for half a week, found several quite secret warehouses, and extracted a large amount of wealth from them."
?
Secret warehouses, a lot of wealth.
Gu Sanqiu suddenly had a bad premonition: "Dad, that's not what you meant, right?"
"Well, it's just what my son thought."
Zhongli nodded leisurely: "What Barbatos found was your family's hidden material storage warehouse. The two sides had been having trouble at my place for a long time."
Gu Sanqiu looked up at the stone and was considering whether to destroy it with a big shot.
It’s you who shows off, Barbatos!
"So, Wendy didn't even write an IOU to my family, right?"
Zhongli nodded again, but Gu Sanqiu felt tired and didn't like it anymore.
Damn it, what the hell is this? Barbatos still has the nerve to tell himself a big sum of money all day long.
Is the wind god's face really made of city walls?
No, to use the old man’s tone, it’s probably like this——
In terms of universal rationality, the shame of that alcoholic poet has long been scattered around the world with thousands of winds. His normal level is to be skinless and shameless.
"That is to say, if I can't pay off the debt this time, I might have to spend some time and energy to go out?"
Zhong Li frowned: "I can't say that. If the time is right, you can pay attention to what may happen in Mondstadt in the near future."
"Barbatos suddenly chose to take back the Thousand Winds Stone at this time, and even asked you by name to send the stone there. It is likely that he needs your help."
"After all, the only remaining member of his family is the Dongfeng Guardian, and some more detailed things can't be of much help."
Gu Sanqiu raised his eyebrows: "Dad, what do you mean, Mond is probably being targeted by the Abyss gang?"
"It's possible, but it could also be other forces, such as the Fools."
Zhongli shook his head slowly: "This stone has been placed in Liyue for hundreds of years. Now the alcoholic poet suddenly summons me. There should be something that needs your help."
Gu Sanqiu didn't believe it: "It's not like Mondstadt doesn't have high-level combat capabilities. If it doesn't work, just contact Ms. Alice. Anyone who dares to go to Mondstadt to cause trouble will blow up those people in a matter of minutes.
"
"Different."
Zhongli explained: "Just like in your Ten Gold Club, don't those two friends still carry the name of Rice Wife Ronin?"
"Dad, you even know this."
With Gu Sanqiu's status and connections, it was completely effortless to register and register. At that time, considering the development of Shijinhui and the convenience of doing things, Wanye and Minglei were still classified as black households.
The hidden high-level combat power is the most deadly.
But now he is basically considered a star, and everyone knows that ten golds will have two rice wives with high combat effectiveness.
Gu Sanqiu was thoughtful. In other words, what happened in Mondstadt this time was probably because the locals were inconvenient and needed a powerful dragon to stir up trouble.
