Chapter 608: Thousand Wind Divine Stone
"Dad, you didn't tell me anything after all this time."
Gu Sanqiu could see that Zhongli had made up his mind not to say anything to him. What he meant was probably "You'll know when you go there."
It's just like an older young person who is suddenly called out by his family for a dinner one day. He originally thought it was just an ordinary meal, but when he sat down he found out it was actually a blind date party.
My mentality exploded on the spot.
Zhongli consoled him with a few words: "It's not a serious matter. The situation in Liyue has stabilized recently. It's nice to change the place and feel better."
"You have just become an immortal not long ago. Even if you are an immortal whose main job is combat, your condition still needs to be adjusted. You are familiar with Mondstadt, so just treat it as a short trip to relax."
Zhongli patted the stone on Gu Sanqiu's head and said, "By the way, return this item to its original owner."
Gu Sanqiu subconsciously looked up at the stone which was a bit outrageous in weight.
"This thing actually still belongs to Wendy?"
"Yes, the Thousand Winds Divine Stone."
Gu Sanqiu's eyes suddenly turned green. If that's the case, then this thing is a precious item that shines with golden light? !
"Take your eyes away."
Zhongli sighed, "This was a method he came up with back then because he found it troublesome. Of course, there were also problems such as Mondstadt's lack of manpower and the need to rebuild it."
"He asked me to make a stone like this. After placing the stone in a specific position, you can hear different wind sounds when the wind blows. It can be regarded as a small tool to sort out the climate."
Different voices?
Gu Sanqiu subconsciously input a strong wind force into it, and the stone instantly emitted a bright green light, and a powerful whistling sound spread in all directions.
“Oh, it’s really useful.”
"Of course it works."
Zhongli stroked the Thousand Winds Divine Stone and said, "Every detail on it was carved by me personally. Even after so many years, the subtle features are still accurate when the wind blows through it."
Wow, such a stone actually carries the creativity and craftsmanship of two demons?
Gu Sanqiu's eyes rolled around. He couldn't do it in front of his father. After sending this thing back to Mondstadt, given Wendy's personality, she would definitely not keep it carefully. She would probably throw it into the secret treasure house of the West Wind Church or just put it somewhere randomly.
Mondstadt is a free country with a very developed wine and tourism industry. There are merchants coming and going all day and all night. It is reasonable for there to be a few thieves with all-powerful means, right?
I want it. I want it very much.
"By the way, Dad, since this thing is so important to Mond, how did it end up in your place? It shouldn't be possible."
A tool to listen to the voice of a thousand winds and help sort out the climate and the wind of freedom. Even if Wendy doesn't care about it anymore after becoming familiar with the authority, the West Wind Church should still put it away seriously.
Just like his own disciple, if she knew that Liyue still preserved Lord Barbatos's "Stone of Miracles", she would most likely follow here this time, and might even beg Gu Sanqiu to return the stone to the West Wind Church.
"That's the problem."
Zhongli shook his head. “Back then, that drunkard poet came to Liyue with a bunch of fine wine and side dishes. He said that the Thousand Winds Divine Stone was no longer useful, but he had a new idea.”
"So, he held a grand singing festival in Liyue. There was no limit to the subject matter, and everyone could perform."
"And the Thousand Winds Divine Stone is the performance stage he prepared for it. The accompaniment of the Thousand Winds and the breath of freedom will help the singer to produce the most appropriate wind sound."
"After that, he got extremely drunk and flew back to Mondstadt in a daze. He even forgot to bring back the Thousand Winds Stone that he had used as a stage."
Gu Sanqiu opened his mouth, almost unable to recover from this operation.
It's you, Barbatos!
This thing that can be called a divine artifact is used as a performance stage. It’s really you, an old pervert, who knows how to play with it!
"Wait a minute, with Wendy's financial resources , how can he afford to hold a large-scale celebration? He can't even afford it by selling his body!"
Zhongli patted Gu Sanqiu's head calmly: "Although that drunkard poet has no elegance, he is still a demon god after all."
"When he wants to make money, he finds a way."
?
Gu Sanqiu expressed his disbelief: "Is it so profitable to be a bard singing poetry in Liyue?"
"That would be too slow. If we want to prepare a celebration, the only source of income would still be for a bard to earn hard-earned money. Yuehai Pavilion would definitely not allow it."
Zhongli suddenly smiled. "So, he went outside of Liyue Harbor and searched for half a week. He found several rather secret warehouses and took out a large amount of wealth from them."
?
A secret storehouse, a huge amount of wealth.
Gu Sanqiu suddenly had a bad feeling: "Dad, you don't mean that, do you?"
"Yes, just as my son thought."
Zhongli nodded leisurely: "What Barbatos found was your family's hidden storage warehouse. The two sides had a fight here for quite a while."
…
Gu Sanqiu looked up at the stone, considering whether to go all out and destroy it.
It’s still you who show off, Barbatos!
"So, Wendy didn't even write an IOU to my family?"
Zhongli nodded again, and Gu Sanqiu felt tired and unloved.
Damn it, what is this? Barbatos still has the nerve to tell me he will give me a big sum of money all day long.
Is it true that the Wind God’s face is made of city walls?
No, if I were to put it in the old man's tone, it would probably be like this -
From the perspective of universal rationality, the drunkard poet's face has long been blown away by the winds and spread all over the world. Being shameless is his normal level.
"That is to say, I won't be able to collect the debt this time. Maybe I will even have to spend some time and energy to go out?"
Zhongli frowned and said, "That's not the case. If the time is right, you can pay attention to what may happen in Mondstadt in the near future."
"Barbatos suddenly chose this moment to ask for the Thousand Winds Stone back, and even specifically asked you to deliver the stone to him. It is very likely that he needs your help."
"After all, the only one of his followers left is the East Wind Guardian, so he can't help with some of the more detailed information."
Gu Sanqiu raised his eyebrows: "Dad, what you mean is that Mond is likely to be targeted by the people from the Abyss?"
"It's possible, but it could also be other forces, such as the Fatui."
Zhongli shook his head slowly: "This stone has been placed in Liyue for hundreds of years. Now that the drunkard poet suddenly sent a message, it must be that there are some matters that need your help."
Gu Sanqiu didn't believe it at all: "It's not like Mond doesn't have high-level combat power. If it doesn't work, just contact Ms. Alice. If anyone dares to cause trouble in Mond, we will blow them up in a matter of minutes."
“It’s different.”
Zhongli explained: "Just like in your Ten Gold Club, aren't those two good friends still going by the name of Inazuma Ronin?"
"Dad, you even know this..."
With Gu Sanqiu's status and connections, it was effortless for him to get a household registration. At that time, considering the development of the Ten Gold Society and the convenience of doing things, Wan Ye and Ming Lei were still illegal residents.
Hidden advanced combat power is the most deadly.
But now it is basically a clear card, everyone knows that Shi Jin will have two high-powered Inazumas.
Gu Sanqiu seemed to be thinking about something. In other words, the matter at Mond this time was most likely because the locals were having trouble and needed a powerful force from across the river to stir up trouble?
