Chapter 13: My 3th Day of Slacking Off in Mondstadt
Liyue is not far from Mondstadt, but the country's checkpoints are still very strict. Unlike Mondstadt, there won't be strange people sneaking into the city at any time.
After all, it is a kingdom where gods walk together, which is different from Mondstadt where the wind god is often absent.
Of course, if you ask Jean, Mond is only a little weaker now because Captain Falga led most of the main combat forces on an expedition, but it is not really easy to bully.
"I heard that you made a big splash at the Adventurer's Guild yesterday."
Lisa joked with interest, dragging her chin. In fact, she didn't care about the little Mora that she lent out. As the most outstanding genius of the former Order of the Holy Spirit, she never lacked money to spend. But she also found Shui Qingli's behavior very interesting.
Albedo's research is based on an alchemist's exploration of the world and truth, while Lisa is more inclined to things that she finds interesting.
The jewelry and gold that Shui Qingli brought back were all treasures from a very long time ago. At least before this, no adventurer had ever excavated them from the ruins of Mondstadt. Those things were even older than the founding of the country by the Seven Rules of the World and the appearance of Mora.
That should have been the past, when tornadoes still surrounded Mondstadt and the land was covered with wind and snow.
"If you become rich, don't forget to buy me a drink."
Lisa doesn't mind teasing the little cuties she likes, but Shui Qingli is a person who will not react no matter how she teases him. The last one to behave like this was Albedo. After trying a few times, she gave up this meaningless practice.
She doesn't like to repeat things that don't bring her any fun.
"Okay, which one?"
Shui Qingli nodded. He had actually wanted to repay Lisa's help for a long time. Ever since he came to Mondstadt, it was all thanks to this seemingly cynical witch that he was not captured by the Knights of Favonius as a member of the Abyss as soon as he entered the city.
Not to mention others, I think it would be difficult to pass Kaeya alone.
After all, the Knight Commander was too wary of the threat from the Abyss Cult.
"Compared to Little Dionna's special blend, I still prefer the classic version of Angel's Gift."
Lisa said with a smile. Although the Cat's Tail Tavern can be regarded as a new star in Mondstadt in recent years, Lisa is a nostalgic person. She rarely falls in love with someone else just for the sake of novelty. Just like even though she already has a traveler, she still prefers her little wolf apprentice.
"Acting leader?"
"As for Qin, although she is very busy, if you specifically invite her, she will still agree, just like facing work."
No one knows her best friend better than Lisa.
After all, she is a person who will take even small things like finding a cat seriously. Occasionally taking time to take Qin out to relax has always been one of Lisa's favorite things to do.
Although every time Qin goes out, it eventually turns into work.
"Hey? Invite me?"
Looking up from the heavy documents, Qin looked at Shui Qingli with some surprise.
From his performance during his time in Mond, Qin thought Shui Qingli was the type who was not easy to approach, and did not expect him to take the initiative to invite her. But if nothing unexpected happened, this was most likely Lisa's idea.
"No problem. The location is Angel's Gift, right? I'll be there as soon as I finish work."
She had no intention of refusing. Just as Lisa said, Jyn was a person who took everything very seriously, which was why she was appointed by Captain Falga as the acting captain of Mondstadt. This position was not something that could be filled by just anyone.
Shui Qingli nodded indifferently. Amber had already told her that these were the only people he knew in Mondstadt, so it would not be a big deal to make the trip.
However, when he was going out, he was bumped by a little angry body.
"Oh, yeah... I'm sorry, Keri didn't mean it."
The little Loli immediately apologized with her big watery eyes open. Spark Knight had just been released from the confinement room and was a little excited for a moment, so he rushed out without looking at the road clearly and unexpectedly bumped into someone.
"Kelly really didn't mean it, can you please...eh?"
The girl raised her head and saw a pair of indifferent aqua blue pupils, as bright as the purest sapphire, but what attracted her attention most was the pair of long pointed ears that were very similar to hers.
Keli blinked. Apart from her mother, this was the first time she saw someone who looked like she was from the same tribe.
"fine."
Even though he was almost fainting from the cuteness of the little Loli, Shui Qingli still had a blank expression on his face, but his eyes softened a little. This was the best he could do.
...So what kind of expressionless personality does this character have? He is completely unable to resist the character setting. Any ooc practices will be strangled in the cradle. So sad.
"Be careful."
He opened the door behind him for Keli. Judging from the direction, the little loli was heading towards Captain Qin's office. Perhaps, there would be one more little guest at the gathering tonight.
"Thank you, big brother."
Kelly thanked him sweetly. She was innocent and simple, and her intuition told her that this older brother was a good person.
Well... people who have long ears and good looks like mom and Klee are all good people. What mom says is definitely not wrong!
However, in reality, Alice was only telling her dear baby that the elves were a group of relatively pure people and would never harm the cubs, especially the cubs of the same species. This was what Klee herself thought.
Shui Qingli couldn't help herself in the end, and reached out to touch the little sun's red hat. Although the little girl was not very good at controlling her temper, causing her fire elemental power to exceed the standard, the warm little sun was indeed very adorable.
No wonder he was just locked up by Captain Qin even though he caused so much trouble.
The high-quality elf cub Klee had already learned how to act coquettishly and cutely in her battle of wits with Captain Jean, so she was very accustomed to Shui Qingli's actions. She moved her little head and rubbed Shui Qingli's hand as if in response.
Although this brother felt cool, he was not as cold as Brother Kaeya. His breath made Klee feel very comfortable.
I wonder if I can ask this big brother to take her to eat fried fish next time?
Spark Knight, who had just come out of the confinement room, was already thinking about the location and scale of the next fish fry.
After the Knights of Favonius, it was the last person to be invited.
However, if Barbatos does not show up on his own initiative, ordinary people will not be able to find him in disguise, unless they lure him with something that interests him.
Shui Qingli looked up at the azure sky. The sound of windmills could be heard around her and dandelions could be faintly heard floating over the city.
"Tonight, there will be an angel's gift. If you are interested, you can come along."
The corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Buying you a drink."
Isn't this enough to take you down?
