Chapter 12: My 2th Day of Slacking Off in Mondstadt
It is said that there is a lot of wealth in the sea. The sea has rich resources different from those on land. Since there is no such profession as underwater fishing in the continent of Teyvat, no one is interested in the resources on the seabed.
But the seabed of Mondstadt, well... doesn't seem to be very flat.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that during an event, a little squirrel had told a story about the God of Wind.
The original land of Mondstadt was not what it is today. At that time, there was a lot of ice and snow on the mountains. Later, after the tornado demon was overthrown, the new wind god blew away the wind and snow, flattened the mountains and threw them into the sea.
I still remember her shock at that time. Barbatos, you have such strength, why do you still slack off all day? !
Later I felt relieved, probably because the gods of the three countries were not very serious.
A drunkard, a street urchin, and a stay-at-home girl.
Anyway, three gods can't make a Mora.
After walking for some distance, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the water flow under his feet, as if there was a hole that was constantly circulating and absorbing the water vortex. He realized that he might have really found the ruins hidden deep under the sea.
Shui Qingli immediately cheered up, thinking that the trip was not in vain, otherwise he would have to compete with the adventurers for food.
The direction of the water flow gave him guidance. Although he could not see the specific location of the ruins, it didn’t matter because he was water.
Water is invisible, and no space can stop it. It just needs to flow in directly into this place and transform into pure water.
When he opened his eyes, he had arrived at a dry space.
The rocks on the walls here are relatively well preserved, probably because they are hidden under the sea and have not been weathered or eroded by land. Apart from the air being a little humid, there are no monsters here.
No, there are still some.
Places with abundant elemental power are always more likely to attract slimes. The seabed is naturally full of water slimes.
Occasionally, one or two Wind Slimes will appear.
Shui Qingli numbly wrapped the approaching slimes in the water again, and felt truly magical as he watched them disappear, leaving only portions of slime gel.
So why can water slimes be drowned by water? Aren’t slimes elemental creatures? Do they also have respiratory organs?
The things in this relic are indeed rich, probably because no one has ever visited it. Although Mora cannot be found in the treasure chest, there are many objects. Although he cannot understand some of the patterns, these things should interest many people.
There are also people on the continent of Teyvat who are tirelessly pursuing ancient culture, and there is never a shortage of buyers for such things.
When he reached the end of the ruins and saw a bleeding dog guarding the gorgeous treasure chest, he no longer found it strange. Any strange things could be born in these ruins.
We should be thankful that there are no Qiuqiu people among them.
Beast Hounds are very difficult monsters to deal with in Genshin Impact. They have resistance to all attributes and a disgusting bleeding mechanism. Even the Emperor's shield cannot be completely immune to bleeding damage, so they are nicknamed bleeding dogs by players.
These things can break the mirror, so it is possible to see them everywhere.
So, how should he deal with him?
Shui Qingli thought about it and decided to try to drown it.
In the game, he has never tried to drown the creature because it can fly and there is no way to lure it into the water and drown it like he did with the one-eyed little treasure. But it doesn't matter, he can directly control the water ball.
The Beast Hound did not notice the sound of water surrounding it until it heard it. Because this is the bottom of the sea, there are a lot of water sounds every day. When it realized that it was wrapped up, it was too late.
The water ball has taken shape, turning into a cage that locks it firmly in the water.
The bloodhounds' fighting instincts and reaction speeds are still very strong. After all, they are beasts that erode the world and are creatures born for destruction. However, there may be some mysterious rules on the continent of Teyvat.
For example, any monster can be drowned by water.
So Shui Qingli watched in wonder as it struggled for a while, trying to fly out of the water ball, but unfortunately the water ball would move with it, and the moment it took shape it meant that unless the owner of the water was willing to let it go, it would never escape.
Although it struggled for a while, it finally stopped moving.
Of course, Shui Qingli would not untie the shackles of Shuituan just because of this. What if it pretended to be dead and turned around to claw him?
He is not the real Water Prince, he is afraid of pain.
The output of a gorgeous treasure chest is always much better than that of an ordinary treasure chest. He actually opened a lot of gold and silver ornaments and several holy relics in this treasure chest. Just looking at the shining light, you can tell that they are of great value.
The harvest was rich. It seemed that Mora could finally repay Lisa's debt. He nodded with satisfaction.
His idea was good, but unfortunately he forgot one thing, which was the culture of Mond.
What is the Mondstadt tradition? The tradition of slacking off is passed down from the God of Wind himself.
Why is the wine industry so popular in Mond? Because people in Mond love wine.
But on the contrary, collecting antiques... not many Mond people are interested in it.
"These relics are still useful to the owner of the Eye of God, but currently only the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt have the ability to use them. However, the price is too high..."
The Knights of Favonius were already stretched to the limit in repairing Mondstadt, and now they didn't have much Mora to spend on purchasing equipment.
After assessing what he brought, Catherine gave him a suggestion.
"The identification and collection of ancient cultural products are quite popular in Liyue and Xumi. If it's not too much trouble for you, I can help you contact Catherine in Liyue and ask if anyone is interested."
Liyue has a long history. Under the governance of Emperor Geo, it has developed for 3,700 years. The study of ancient relics and the culture of antique collection are very popular.
As for Xumi, a large number of scholars will use these ancient relics and unearthed artifacts to conduct exploration, research and publish papers.
Liyue is close to Mondstadt and was the first to resume communication and trade, while Xumi was relatively slower.
After Catherine's explanation, Shui Qingli basically understood. Xumi probably values the ruins themselves more, while Liyue doesn't care so much about collecting antiques, so it is more cost-effective for Liyue to sell these.
So we still have to go to Liyue.
I wonder if the traveler has dealt with Osel.
Although the water was his world, to be honest, he didn't really want to experience Liyue Harbor when Osel was stirring up the waves.
Besides, old man Zhongli is not as easy to fool as Barbatos.
Even if Wendy also paid attention to his every move in Mondstadt, how long did he persist? About a day?
Even that nun insisted on monitoring him for more than half a month before giving up. Hey, please give me some strength, Master Fengshen! (Heartbroken)
Get down to business, Barbatos.
