I'm a male god in Liyue

Xia Ci clapped his hands and laughed.

"In that case, let's offer some flowers too!"

The cat looked at her and asked, "Hey? Shall we go pick flowers now? Or buy some from the florist?"

Xia Ci waved her hand and said, "Why bother with all that trouble and waste money and effort? Please, I'm a Grass-type God's Eye user!"

That's true! Back at the Morning Light Winery, Xia Ci even helped everyone grow a lot of grapes, so helping to grow some flowers is a piece of cake.

Xia Zhen glanced at the green glass bead hanging from Xia Ci's waist, but didn't say anything.

You're a grass-type, that's impressive.

Xia Ci had bought a lot of flower and plant seeds when she went shopping in Liyue at night before. Now, she just took out a few seeds and threw them into the soil in the corner, and soon they grew into beautiful flowers.

Everyone has a share.

Xia Zhi bent down and placed the flowers in her hand at the feet of the stone sculpture girl.

As he straightened up, he felt a gentle breeze brushing past him.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment, then clasped his hands together and silently recited a prayer.

"Lord Barbatos, the Wind God, this is my first time in Mondstadt. I don't know what to prepare, so please forgive me."

"I run a specialty beverage shop in Liyue. This trip is mainly to bring my staff on a tour. We'll be leaving after about ten days. I hope you bless us so that our trip goes smoothly and we have a great time."

"Oh, right, there's something else. I've also started a school, and I'd like to exchange some books with the Mondstadt Library. It's a win-win situation, and I hope you'll bless everything goes smoothly."

Xia Ci had only been playing around with the flowers, but seeing her cousin's serious expression, she thought for a moment and decided to follow suit, bending down and placing the flowers in her hand at the feet of the stone sculpture girl.

Then, Xia Ci clasped her hands together and silently recited in the wind.

"Barbatos, where have you been, you drunkard? You didn't even greet your old friend. Did you drink too much and fall asleep in that tavern?"

Xia Zhen watched as the two of them, both of them, put down the flowers, maintained their formation, and silently prayed with their hands clasped together.

"123, 321, 1234567..."

In Mondstadt, the most famous tavern is [Angel's Gift].

This is a tavern invested and built by the historic Dawn Winery, which directly supplies wines.

The origin of this store's name is also quite interesting:

During aging, the wine often becomes slightly less than its original volume due to evaporation and seepage into the oak bars. Winemakers generally refer to this slightly less than "the portion taken by the angels." The remaining wine, then, is naturally considered "the gift from the angels."

Because the quality of the wine is so good, this tavern has always been the most popular.

Every day, countless customers come to the shop to drink, and the atmosphere inside is always exceptionally noisy, whether it's morning, afternoon, or night.

At one of the tables in a corner, a handsome young man with long black hair in a braid, wearing a hat with a Cecilia flower pinned to it, was lying on the table.

He closed his eyes, one hand supporting his face, and the other hand clutching an empty wine glass.

He looked like he had gotten drunk and just fell asleep on the table.

The bartender and the surrounding guests were used to this and did not wake up the pub regular named Wendy, simply letting him sleep there.

At one point, the boy, who was still sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, lifted his head off the table, and looked toward the West Wind Cathedral.

The other patrons were startled and laughed, "Wendy! What's wrong with you! Having a nightmare?!"

Wendy looked away, casually rubbed her face, and said, "Haha, sorry, I really did have a nightmare just now, and I scared everyone."

"How about I buy you a drink to calm your nerves?"

"Alright! Come on! Give me a cup of 'Death in the Afternoon'."

"You little brat! You just like picking the expensive stuff, don't you!"

"It's rare for someone to treat me! Haha! I'll definitely choose the expensive one!"

"Speaking of which, Captain Kaeya really loves this 'Death in the Afternoon' drink; he orders it every time he comes here."

A moment later, the bartender brought over a glass of strong liquor called "Death in the Afternoon".

Wendy picked up her cup, took a sip, and looked satisfied.

But the next second, he suddenly seemed to sense something, his expression changed slightly, and he looked back at the West Wind Cathedral.

"Ok?"

Wendy frowned and muttered to herself in a barely audible voice.

"This...it sounds like Buyer's voice...wasn't she long ago? She guessed right...I really did drink too much and fall asleep...Never mind, I'll go check out what's going on...I'll finish this glass of wine first..."

Wendy looked away, picked up her glass, took another sip of the strong liquor, and a satisfied look returned to her face.

Then, as if sensing something again, he looked towards the West Wind Cathedral for the third time.

"what?"

This time, his expression completely changed, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

“This…this is Baal’s voice?…This…how is this possible…Morax and I clearly saw her fall right before our eyes…Am I still dreaming…”

Wendy put down the half-finished bottle of wine on the table, got up, and walked straight out of the store.

The patrons at the next table, seeing this, were somewhat surprised and called out, "Hey! Wendy, aren't you going to drink your wine?!"

The boy's voice came from outside the shop: "You'll have to buy me a drink next time!"

The patron at the next table looked at the wine glasses on the table, shook his head and muttered to himself, "How strange! Wasn't this guy usually a heavy drinker? Why has he changed his ways today?"

Chapter 444 Someone's about to break out in a sweat (4K)

Knights of the West Wind.

Qin returned to her office and finished all the tasks she had been dealing with.

She then got up and left the office, going to another locked room.

This is Mondstadt's ordinary archives, which preserves various intelligence gathered by the Knights of Favonius over the past twenty years.

Besides this ordinary archive room, Qin had heard from the Grand Master Falgar that there seemed to be a top-secret archive room as well.

That archive contains all the intelligence collected since the founding of the Knights of Favonius, and only a very few people in Mondstadt have the right to enter the archive to view that intelligence.

Although Qin is now the acting Grand Master of the Knights, she still doesn't know whether the so-called top-secret archives actually exist, or where they are actually hidden.

Perhaps it's in the Church of the West, or perhaps it's deep within the library...

Qin stood at the door of the ordinary archives room, took out her key, unlocked the large lock on the door, pushed the door open, and went inside.

There was no unpleasant damp or musty smell in the room, and Qin could even feel a gentle breeze blowing on her face.

Clearly, the ventilation system here is well-designed and has been working for many years.

Qin reached out and lit the fluorite lamp in the room. This was a special lamp made using ancient alchemy. The light it emitted was not much brighter than a torch, but it had the advantage of not having an open flame. The main purpose of using this alchemical lamp was to prevent fires in this area.

The light from the fluorite lamps illuminated the entire archive room.

There are eight large bookshelves in the room.

The largest bookshelf is labeled with the word "Mondstadt," while the remaining seven smaller bookshelves are labeled with the words "Liyue," "Inazuma," "Sumeru," "Fontaine," "Natalya," "Winter Solstice," and "Others," respectively.

This wasn't Qin's first time visiting this archive room.

She went straight to the Liyue bookshelf, rummaged through it, and found the information she wanted.

"Gan Yu, the Grand Secretary of the Seven Stars of Liyue, possesses the body of a half-immortal and the bloodline of the Kirin. She is a disciple of the True Lord Liu Yun Jie Feng and participated in the Demon God War. She wields an Ice-type Aegis and has held this position since the founding of Liyue. For thousands of years, she has lived in her home at Yujingtai and goes to the Moonlit Pavilion every day to handle government affairs until midnight, working diligently..."

"Xia Zhi, a novice adventurer, does not possess a Vision, is blind, and has an unknown family background. He first appeared in Liyue last August, bought an obscure shop next to the Hall of Rebirth, and launched a unique drink called Rainbow Juice, which became very popular. Afterwards, the shop hired several employees from all over Teyvat..."

"Xia Ci, family background unknown, is Xia Zhi's cousin. She possesses a Grass-type Divine Eye and seems to have a good relationship with Tianquan Ningguang. After the school was established, she became one of the school's vice principals..."

Xuanqin stood in front of the bookshelf, looking down and quietly reading through the three intelligence reports.

She closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, then retrieved information on several people mentioned in the three intelligence reports from the bookshelves, such as [True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng], [Shen He], [Yao Yao], [Ying'er], [Qi Qi], [Chi Yu], [Diona], [Charlotte], [Mona], and [Xia Zhen], and carefully read through it.

"It's really strange... An ordinary person without the Eye of God, no, not just an ordinary person, he's blind, which makes him practically disabled... yet he can still attract so many people with the Eye of God... it's unbelievable..."

Qin looked at the intelligence report in her hand and muttered to herself.

"This Mr. Xia is just like... the protagonist in that romance novel I read before..."

Yes, besides her sister Barbara, the leader of the ensemble actually has another secret.

Despite being well-versed in historical texts, despite bearing the name "Dandelion Knight," and despite becoming a trusted acting captain...

But Qin still really enjoys romance novels.

It wasn't because she wasted her youth in training and duty, nor because her parents' marriage was strained.

Qin merely yearned for the mutual affection depicted in the story, for emotions as delicate and fragile as spider silk.

As a knight, Mondstadt and the Knights of Favonius must always be my top priorities.

But... whenever she has free time, her favorite way to relax is to go to the library, pick up a romance novel, and quietly read it alone in a corner.

After reading them, Qin put the intelligence reports back in their original places, turned off the glowstone lamp in the room, walked out of the room, locked the door again, and headed towards her office.

As she approached the office, Qin saw Kaiya leaning alone against the wall in the corridor.
