Chapter 613: Behind the Scenes
"Do they have any other options besides an armed coup?"
Wendy chuckled: "Then why do you think I asked you to bring the Thousand Winds Divine Stone back?"
Gu Sanqiu raised his eyebrows: "The king's power is granted by God?"
“That’s right.”
Wendy snapped her fingers. "That's right. Lawrence's idiots seem to have dug out some old books from somewhere and asked the Fatui to forge a Thousand Winds Divine Stone."
"If nothing unexpected happens, they will probably use this stone to do something. An armed coup is only the last alternative plan. Do you understand?"
"Hmph, interesting. No wonder I had to come over to deliver a stone. I'm wondering why you didn't just go to Kong for this kind of thing. He obviously knows the identities of you and your father."
Gu Sanqiu chuckled: "However, you two are really interesting. One of you has been indifferent to worldly affairs for years, and the other one faked his death to escape, but without exception, you both revealed your identities to a visitor from another world."
"My dear uncle, can you satisfy my nephew's curiosity and tell me why you are doing this?"
Wendy said confidently: "Of course it's because Xiao Kongkong is handsome and cute!"
Gu Sanqiu:?
"Speak properly. Is this really an excuse a country can give? You sound like an unsatisfied middle-aged woman who has a special liking for little boys."
"Who are you calling an old woman?"
Wendy slapped the table in dissatisfaction: "With my appearance, even if your uncle can't hide his age in front of you knowledgeable people, he is still a handsome man with elegant manners and charm."
"The problem is that the phrase 'still charming' is not used to describe handsome old men."
Gu Sanqiu held his forehead and sighed, "You need to learn more about pretending from my father. When I asked this kind of question, he changed the subject without leaving a trace."
Wendy looked contemptuous and said, "Are you sure you weren't threatened with force? With your family's level of nerves, you must have been beaten up by my old friend many times."
Gu Sanqiu was speechless because what Wendy said was all true and he could not find any rebuttal.
Zhongli is very patient when talking to other people, but as for him, I don’t know if physical chatting can be considered as being very patient.
"Oh, don't blame your old man. Everyone envies him for having such a young and silly spouse."
"In this day and age, it is not easy to find a creature brave enough to speak nonsense in front of the demon god. You are already a rare animal."
Wendy consoled him, "Not long ago, the guy from Nata contacted me and asked if he could lend his child to you for a while. He also offered you the title of Lava General, but he refused."
Gu Sanqiu wondered: "Why did Nata come to me for business?"
"The defeated become embers, and the victors reignite. But if the meaning and passion of war are lost, how can the embers ignite the glory of the victors?"
"People get tired, and their hearts get tired too."
Wendy smiled and said, "Do you know how your old man refused? He said that his family members were spoiled and couldn't stand the hot climate, so he declined the kindness."
Is he spoiled?
It’s obvious that he is the one who was left alone!
Gu Sanqiu twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling helpless about this extremely perfunctory reason. He probably thought that Nata's ruling party felt the same way.
He rescued the Guardian of the East Wind, faced the remains of Durin on the snowy mountain, dared to swing his sword at the God of Thunder in Inazuma, and fought against Osel above the Cloud Sea. How can you tell me that such a person is spoiled?
Do you dare to be more perfunctory?
"Forget it, let's get back to the point. If it's not necessary, don't show up in the next two days. We know that you have a good relationship with the Fatui, so don't arouse their vigilance."
Wendy waved her hand and said, "After a day or two, you can just leave Mondstadt in a swaggering manner. At least let them know that this mortal immortal who suddenly appeared is really here for a trip."
Gu Sanqiu nodded. He did not try to conceal his figure when he came over, so there were definitely many people who saw him arrive in Mond.
Well, if that's the case, it's a pity that they can't save some money from the Fatui's funds this time. He really wants to stay at the Goethe Hotel.
After finalizing some details, within two or three days, Gu Sanqiu gathered his friends to have a meal under the watchful eyes of others, strolled around Mond City, and then left Mond City on a sunny day.
When the people who were following stood in the distance and saw Gu Sanqiu flying away using alchemical tools, they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
To be on the safe side, those forces hiding in the dark waited for two days, and only after making sure that there was really no one more special visiting Mond did they slowly unfold their arrangements.
Qingquan Town, Hunter Team Lounge.
Duraf frowned as he looked at the man in front of him who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and talking big. A look of disgust appeared in his eyes.
This man stopped the hunting team and spent a large sum of Mora in a rather arrogant manner, requiring the hunting team members to "must" listen to his speech.
For Mora's sake, Duraf calmed his companion down and prepared to listen to what this man wanted to do.
When he heard the first few sentences, Durave was indeed shocked.
The man in front of him vividly described the history of the rule of the God of Wind, and claimed that their leader had received God's decree and obtained the long-lost "Thousand Wind Divine Stone"!
Duraf had also heard of the legend of the God of Wind. For a rough man, especially one who was disliked by his daughter because he liked drinking, reading some books could help him talk more with his daughter.
Even though those lines of text gave him a headache and he wanted to hit himself on the head with the hunting team's heaviest longbow, Duraf forced himself to read several books.
But the more I listened to the speeches afterwards, the less I liked them.
To sum up, they came with God's will, and denounced the "autocratic" operation of the Knights Templar with disgust, letting a young girl serve as acting leader.
This is irresponsible to Mondstadt, to its people and to this Land of a Thousand Winds!
They brought the will of the God of Wind, and wanted to elect a new acting leader of the Knights of Favonius through a referendum, to bring new vitality to this land!
His daughter worked at the Cat's Tail Tavern, and Duraf was familiar with some information about Mondstadt. When he asked who the so-called leader was, the speaker shook his head seriously.
Our leader brings the will of God, but he has never thought of being autocratic. The great leader just wants to show the true public opinion of Mond!
They did not deny Qin's achievements as acting leader, but she was more capable of maintaining the status quo than pioneering.
To this end, the great leader will collect public opinion and select several members from all of Mondstadt to participate in the election for acting leader of the Knights Templar.
Everyone can brag, this was Durave's point of view, especially when the speaker mentioned a candidate named Lawrence, whom other people had basically never heard of, he understood what kind of person he was.
"Get lost! Qingquan Town doesn't welcome bastards like you!"
Durav and the hunting party drew their weapons and drove the speaker out.
