Genshin Impact: The Recorder of All Things

"You went to Liyue to beg their young lord for help to heal me? By the way, who is this young lord?"

"Come, come, let me tell you about the past five hundred years..."

The dragon of the East Wind carries its master once again soaring through the blue sky...

-

"His Royal Highness Prince."

Kong appeared on a cliff, and the two Abyss Apostles quickly bowed.

"Your Highness, what should we do about Dvalin?"

"Ignore him." Kong stared into the distance, lost in thought. After a while, "The wind is picking up."

"Wind?" The Abyss Apostles exchanged a bewildered glance.

Kong ignored them. Lately, he had a feeling that his blood relatives were about to appear and a new journey was about to begin.

When Wendy mentioned his sister earlier, his feelings intensified.

That wisp of wind must have known something, but he didn't ask.

He knew that no one could get any secrets he was unwilling to reveal from that seemingly eccentric poet.

To coerce a god?

Although they weren't afraid of him, this first Wind God was no pushover. And if he wanted to run, no one could catch him.

Unless that person is someone he feels guilty towards...

Kong looked north, where someone was already on their way to Mondstadt.

The witch from five hundred years ago—Rosalyn Cruzshika Loehfat.

"The Empress is quite adept at manipulating that poet's psychology."

If it were someone else, even if they had an unspoken understanding with the Queen, Wendy wouldn't have summoned the Heart of God so easily; she would have at least given the person a beating.

As for whether Barbatos was wrong...

Kong felt that the issue wasn't about right or wrong, but rather that God felt that if His people were harmed and deeply grieved without His knowledge, He would subconsciously feel that it was His fault, that He had been negligent, and that He owed Them something.

This is a story about how good people deserve to have a gun pointed at them.

"A demon god's lover? Hmph~"

Kong looked in the direction of Liyue with annoyance, where there was someone he hated.

That person has created a huge mess in the situation on the mainland and caused his plans to change multiple times. Kong doesn't even know if he can succeed if things continue like this.

I used to think about beating him up in the dark someday, but now I can only keep thinking about it.

We can't beat them...

My intuition tells me that my sister is about to appear, but sister, you absolutely must not go to Liyue, there's something wrong there!

That guy probably won't come to Mondstadt, right?

-

"Ayawn!"

Zhong Gui rubbed his nose. "Who's talking about me? Never mind, it's not important."

Looking at the two people eager for knowledge, Zhong Gui said, "Originally, Mondstadt was going to have a disaster, and then a hero would pass by and solve it."

"Well, that drunkard just finished it."

"That's good, that's good." Kaeya wiped his dry forehead and let out an exaggerated sigh of relief. "When the hero comes, I'll treat him to a drink!"

"Maybe he doesn't even drink," Diluc said. "Who knew that drunkard could actually get things done?"

"He's done a lot of important things." Although he often mocked Venti, seeing others say the same thing about him, Zhong Gui felt like defending him. "From being born in the prayers of a girl in Gungnird, to fighting alongside a boy against the Lone King in the Tower, to creating the environment of New Mondstadt, the old nobles of Mondstadt, the establishment of the Four Winds, the Black Plague of Teyvat..."

"The wind god may never be here again, but there will always be a bard who will guide humanity at the most crucial moment."

"This is a free city-state. How can the god of liberty command his free people?"

After listening, Diluc and Kaeya smiled slightly.

Yes, that is the goddess of liberty.

They all understood that the bard had done a lot for Mondstadt, but Mondstadt records show that the Anemo Archon never appeared.

Because this is a free land, God does not wish to command them.

They treated Wendy as if he were a normal person, without treating him like a god, because they knew Wendy's character and knew that if they treated him like a believer, he would feel uncomfortable.

Diluc once had many questions about the Anemo Archon, but after completing 400 Liyue Journeys, he came to understand it.

It is Mondstadt’s good fortune to have such a god.

However, having such unambitious people as the Mondstadt people is a disservice to the god!

Diluc: "Hmph!"

"What's wrong now?" Kaiya said helplessly.

Diluc said with dissatisfaction, "We've finished eating, aren't you leaving? Isn't there anything else to do in Mondstadt?"

"My task now is to accompany you to eat, drink, and play. When we went to Liyue, it was Mr. Zhong Gui who hosted us. Now it's our turn to host him."

"us?"

"Yes, I'll accompany you, and you, Lord Diluc, will cover the expenses."

"..."

"What's with that look? You're not going to make me pay for it myself, are you? I don't make much money each month!"

"Go find Adeline to take care of..."

"Alright, that's exactly what I was waiting for!"

P.S.: Just now (actually at 5:30) I went to the boss's office with my colleagues to ask him when we would get paid. We haven't received our salaries since October of last year. We talked until almost 9 o'clock. I left the office to finish this chapter, so it's a bit late. I apologize to everyone.

Two hundred chapters! Thank you to "zlice", "Cosmic Black Hole", "CFCFEX", "bzsp", "Without Beginning or End", "Clear Rain and Fireworks", "Seashell in a Dream", and "Illusory into Emptiness" for the monthly tickets. A new month has begun, please give me monthly tickets, subscriptions, recommendations, and flowers.

Chapter 201 Traveler Ying: Give me some food!

Xiangling walked alone in the forest of Mondstadt; she had already parted ways with Zhonggui.

"Zhong Gui is really something, he only accompanied me all the way to Mondstadt, he really only accompanied me all the way to Mondstadt."

She was right next to Zhong Gui while he was chatting with Diluc and Kaeya, but she wasn't very interested in those secrets or gods. After all, she hadn't listened to her master's instructions to visit the immortals, let alone these foreign gods.

So she didn't listen much and focused on studying Mondstadt's cuisine, eventually exchanging ideas with Adeline, the head chef and maid of Dawn Winery.

And so, they stayed at the Dawn Winery for seven or eight days.

She didn't stay there all the time; Xiangling went out every day and explored almost all the surrounding mountains and forests.

When she said she was going somewhere else, Zhong Gui told her—

"Don't hesitate, boys should go out and explore on their own. Nothing can stop a man from going out to sea!"

"I'm not a boy, and I don't go to sea!"

"I'm a boy!"

……

"What?! I'm definitely going to tell Hu Tao when we get back, and she'll teach you a lesson!" Xiang Ling said unhappily.

Xiangling stood by the sea, gazing into the distance. "Are there really delicious crabs there?"

She said she wasn't going out to sea, so Zhong Gui told her about a crab island with particularly delicious crabs.

So she passed through Mondstadt without entering, through the Windrise, through the Whispering Woods... and finally came to the sea.

"Brother Zhonggui said there's a small island, and it would be great if there were a boat there..."

I have a boat!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

"Lu!!!"

Suddenly, a blonde woman appeared behind Xiangling, startling both Xiangling and Guoba so much that their fur stood on end.

When Xiangling saw that it was just one person, she breathed a sigh of relief; she was used to being frightened by Hu Tao...

"who are you?"

Xiangling carefully examined the blond-haired man. He looked somewhat disheveled, as if he hadn't groomed himself in a long time.

“My name is Ying. I followed you from that forest over there,” Ying said, pointing behind her.

"You've followed me this far?" Xiangling exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehehe~" Ying seemed a little embarrassed. "I've been there for two days, and I finally met someone, so I wanted to ask how to get out."

"You ran pretty fast, I almost couldn't keep up."

"You stayed for two days? Why didn't you go back to Mondstadt?"

Mondstadt?
