Chapter 447: The Reward for Becoming the Son of God
"I want to know what I can get out of helping."
The old mother smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad, you didn't abandon your position just because of my words. That was a very smart move."
"You just said more than just a few words."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "I can't help it. If I were a commoner, and the Church of a Nation asked me to become a saint, I would definitely not refuse such a good thing, but I am not."
"You saw the person who pushed me here just now."
The old lady smiled and said, "The Wind Guards are the most elite troops of the West Wind Church. If you agree to become a Saint of West Wind, they will assign some of them to you for your command, and you can also take them back to Liyue."
"No need."
Gu Sanqiu smiled bitterly: "The enemies I can encounter and the enemies I may face in the future are completely two levels apart. Their level is not good enough."
"What about the future? Well, that makes sense."
The old man nodded and said, "With your family's background, it would be useless to open the private library of the West Wind Church. I have to say that you have given me a difficult problem."
"Hey, don't blame me for this. After all, it wasn't me who proposed the deal."
"Haha, little brat."
The old man smiled and said, "Your identity is quite special. For the sake of our church, I cannot grant you a powerful position in the church for no reason. Why don't you tell me what you want?"
"Throw the problem back to me."
Gu Sanqiu thought for a moment: "Any conditions are fine?"
"As long as it's not a condition that requires little girl Barbara to be your bed maid, it's fine."
"…You think too much."
Gu Sanqiu smiled helplessly: "Then I have to make an offer. I want the West Wind Church's methods of sorting out the climate and predicting the direction of the weather, all of them."
The old man looked at Gu Sanqiu in surprise and said, "You are brave enough to make an offer, but there is no Windwatch in Liyue. It is useless even if you have it."
"It's a good analogy, and I can use this thing too."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "The truly top-notch inheritances in Liyue are actually inseparable from the Rock King Emperor. I want some other means to enhance my own strength."
Now that he has obtained the West Wind Church's means of regulating the climate and harmonizing the thousand winds, he will have a lot of room to maneuver.
The resonance of thousands of rocks shook the four directions, and all things in the sky, including wind, rain, thunder and lightning, submitted to it. No matter what kind of enemy they faced, they would be hit by the "supernatural disaster" they created, which would make the enemy vomit.
Oh, it might be difficult to make thunder and lightning submit, but it’s still an idea, right?
"Haha, I can give it to you. After all, since we are the two gods, it won't be a problem to give you those methods."
The old mother looked a little strange: "Back then, the great hero Vanessa led everyone to rebel against the tyrant named 'Man', but it was actually the 'Leewind Covenant' that caused a large number of soldiers to betray the ruler."
"The ruler betrayed the wind and sold everything in Mondstadt to the neighboring rock gods. This move aroused the soldiers' resistance."
"It is said that the last clause of the secret agreement contains words that only gods are qualified to write, and the name of Emperor Yan Wang is engraved on it."
"But based on my understanding of Liyue and the Geo Emperor, that benevolent and powerful god would not do such a thing, let alone accept so-called traitors."
Gu Sanqiu had a blank expression on his face, because he really couldn't think of any expression to use to respond.
This old man, who had spent some of his youth in Liyue and knew the old man well, was actually beginning to doubt what happened back then.
Don't think about it, don't think about it. It was just as you guessed, old man. Wendy practiced his signature for hundreds of years and wanted to backstab the old man as a joke, but he couldn't fool Morax, the God of Contract.
However, in the end, the skills that he had practiced so hard finally came in handy, and they brought Mond back on track. It can only be said that where there is a will, there is a way ( crossed out ).
I wish Xingqiu had the same perseverance as Venti in practicing calligraphy.
Gu Sanqiu touched his chin and began to think. It was not difficult to see from this incident that what Sanqiu lacked was actually a goal, but it was really difficult to find a goal for him now.
Let him practice calligraphy so that he can forge signatures on official documents and documents of his own chamber of commerce in the future?
Don't be funny, Xingqiu will be beaten to death by his family, and he will also be beaten to death by his sister.
"Since you agree, then I have no choice but to refuse the title of Honorary Knight of the Knights of Favonius. Don't you think it's a pity?"
"Could you make an exception for me?"
"Hahaha, if you can get Lord Barbatos to actually respond to you, it's not impossible to make an exception."
Come on, that Wendy guy is definitely thinking about how to beat me to death now.
Gu Sanqiu asked, "I was given the title of Saint Son of the West Wind. Is there any succession ceremony or something like that?"
The old mother was speechless: "What kind of grand ceremony is this? Are you still asleep, little guy? Mondstadt is a free city-state, not the tyrant era it once was."
"We will only inform the members of the sect about your becoming the Saint of West Wind, and then make a public announcement as normal. However, apart from those who are interested, there shouldn't be many people paying attention to it."
The old mother smiled and said, "Compared to the more active Knights of Favonius, the Church of Favonius is still too quiet, but it should be much better after this time."
Gu Sanqiu frowned: "Since the West Wind Church can have this level of combat power, why didn't you stop the doctor when he arrested people for research?"
"...Xiao Sanqiu, you even know this."
The old mother was silent for a moment: "This matter, ah, we believers feel ashamed of the God of Wind and Mond."
"However, some details of this matter may not be what you think."
Gu Sanqiu said: "The doctor asked someone to mess around, and that's about it. I know it's as simple as this."
"Haha, there were many people involved in this matter. If it was just the Fatui, the Wind Guard alone would be able to settle the matter."
The old lady said slowly, "The Wind Guards were stopped by unidentified troops, and we did not expect that some of the Knights' high-ranking officials were bribed by them. The Lawrence family also received many kinds of funding from foreign forces."
"Although this incident is so big, in fact, in terms of its complexity, it is still more complicated than before."
Gu Sanqiu nodded. He understood what the old man meant. This time, Mond was united in fighting the enemy, and there was no traitor holding them back.
During that period, there were internal and external troubles. There was a traitor in the upper echelons, the restless Lawrence family wanted to restore their former "glory", and many unidentified players were causing trouble in Mond.
If the auras of the main characters of the Knights Templar were not strong enough, or if the strategies devised by Kaeya, who used to be the General Manager, were not sinister enough, things would not have been so easy to settle.
"Also, the executive officer who came to help this time should be the Flame Saint mentioned in the ancient books, right?"
The old mother asked, "What is her purpose in returning to Mond this time? Don't lie to grandma."
Gu Sanqiu shrugged: "Don't you know what she wants to do?"
The old mother sighed, "The Flame Saint, now the 'lady', Xiao Sanqiu, if she really finds Lord Barbatos, no matter what the final result is, please spare her life."
"You are a follower of God, so naturally you don't want such a precedent to happen. But whether you stop it or not, I hope you can spare her life."
"Mond does not owe the young wolves and lions of light, but Qianfeng will remember this Saint Lady who stepped on fire and blood to kill endless disasters."
