Nasida could barely drink the Inazuma sake and sweet wine that the Inazuma sisters drank, but it was definitely not delicious.

The expressionless look on the Winter Ice God's face as he drank from a tall glass of fire water mixed with ice made Nasida completely incomprehensible.

As for the Great Ci Tree King, she was tasting drinks from another world. Judging from the expression on her face, she was also the type of person who knew how to drink.

This made Nacida fall into self-doubt. Could it be that she was just a child like the Great Ci Tree King said?

But the only thing that comforted Nasida was that Zhong Rui didn't drink alcohol like her, but drank carbonated drinks.

"This rum is really delicious~"

Wendy licked the wine on her lips and felt that her mind was already drifting. Just when he wanted to follow his instinct and have another drink, his remaining reason pulled him back in time.

Well, what a risk! He almost forgot the reason for proposing a banquet!

So Wendy came to sit next to Zhong Rui with a bottle of wine.

"Zhong Rui, that..."

"You want to talk about an alliance?"

Zhong Rui subconsciously stayed away from Wendy who smelled of alcohol.

"Ah haha, I really can't hide it from you~"

"My answer is the same as before. I don't see any value in forming an alliance with Mondstadt."

Rejected by Zhong Rui again, Wendy's drunkenness gradually subsided. He could see that Zhong Rui was determined not to form an alliance with Mond.

Reminiscing about the invasion of the dark beasts five hundred years ago, Zhong Rui was only willing to help the Knights and Dawn Winery.

"Oh, it really doesn't work..."

Wendy could only sigh and give up on forming an alliance with Liyue.

Perhaps the people of Mondstadt today did not expect that it was precisely because of their attitude towards Yura today that caused disasters in Mondstadt in the past and future.

But based on Wendy's understanding of the people of Mondstadt, as long as they can still have wine on hand, they probably won't care about the past and tomorrow...

Sigh... Although it's a bit bad to say this as the wind god in charge of Mondstadt, most Mondstadt people do have some problems with their character...

After Yora left Mondstadt and completely cut off contact with her hometown, some rumors about slandering Yora spread in Mondstadt. For example, she fled to Liyue because her crimes were exposed, and the Knights declared her honorable. Retirement is just to save Yan Shen’s face.

The Knights also publicly clarified this rumor, but it still did not end the rumor. On the contrary, because of the Knights' clarification, more Mondstadt people who hated the Lawrence family believed this.

They never even reflected on forcing a knight who had been protecting Mondstadt for a long time to leave his hometown. Instead, they emphasized the guilt of the noble knight to demonstrate the legitimacy of their cold violence over the years.

It is only natural that Zhong Rui would feel disgusted with such a person, right?

Even Wendy himself couldn't stand it any longer. He even spent one night thinking seriously about what was wrong with Mondstadt that made most civilians behave like this.

Perhaps Tevalin is right. As a god, he is indeed unqualified in governance. It seems that allowing them freedom is not a good choice...

Just like the dark age when Old Mondstadt was oppressed by the nobles, it was essentially due to the lack of God's intervention that the Lawrence noble family became dominant.

It’s time for a new wind of change to blow in Mondstadt...

"Emperor Tianrui, I want to make a deal with you in the name of Barbatos."

"Oh? Tell me."

After seeing Wendy drinking for a while, she suddenly formally proposed a deal to him in the name of God, which aroused Zhong Rui's interest.

"I'm going to sell Mond to you."

When Wendy said this, the reception suddenly became quiet.

Several other gods looked at Wendy in surprise. Only after seeing Wendy's serious eyes did they confirm that this was not drunken nonsense.

"Are you...serious?"

Even Zhong Rui was surprised by Wendy's sudden deal. Although Wendy usually idles around and gives people the impression of a drunkard who likes to sing, in major events related to Mond, he still behaved very reliably. There is no doubt that he has a sense of responsibility and responsibility as a god.

"Well, I'm not kidding, I just feel that it's time for Mondstadt to change."

Wendy suddenly remembered the fake contract he used to fool the nobles. That contract was forged by him to demoralize the enemy's military. The content of the contract was that the old nobles who ruled Mondstadt sold Mondstadt to Liyue next door. Rock King Emperor.

Because of the fake contract he imitated, Zhongli, who later learned about the matter, rushed to Mondstadt and beat Wendy up.

But he didn't expect that one day he would actually sell Mond to Liyue.

"Based on my estimate of Mondstadt's value in all aspects... 3.86 billion 343 moras. Do you think this price is appropriate?"

Hearing the number reported by Zhong Rui, Zhong Li, who was drinking, silently put down his glass. It seemed that the money Wendy owed him could just be repaid?

"Eh? That's all?!"

After hearing that the whole of Mondstadt was worth this little bit of mora, Wendy's tone returned to her previous unserious state.

Although 3.8 billion molad may seem like a lot, compared to the value of the entire Mondstadt, Zhong Rui’s offer can be said to be extremely profiteer!

"Isn't that too little? Do you have any property in Mondstadt? Does the revenue of Mondstadt City and Morningside Winery have anything to do with you? Or is the Church of the West Wind your property?"

"Um... Mondstadt and Morningside Winery really have nothing to do with me, but the West Wind Church should count, right?"

Wendy probably understood why he had to sell the entire Mondstadt for this mora, but since it was about his majesty, Wendy decided to try to raise the price.

No matter what, we have to collect five billion molas, right?

Otherwise, when future historians learn that the majestic Fengshen only earned so much mora by selling Mondstadt, he might not become the laughing stock of the world!

"You are the mascot who was used by the West Wind Church to collect money from believers. The leader of the West Wind Church is the bishop of the church, and he is also the leader of Mondstadt. What does this mascot of yours have to do with you?"

"Woo!"

Stung to the core by Zhong Rui's ruthless words, Wendy's body turned gray and crawled on the table, as if Zhong Rui was right...

So, Mond's value has nothing to do with him, the god of wind?

"At the same time, the land in Mondstadt belongs to Mondstadt City. Of course, if you expropriate all the land in the name of the God of Wind, I can increase it to 100 billion for you."

"Well? Since the land belongs to Mondstadt, what did you buy with these 3.8 billion moras?"

After hearing that Mondstadt's land did not actually belong to her, a big question appeared on Wendy's head. Wasn't the 3.8 billion used to buy land?

Good news: It seems Mondstadt is not as worthless as he thought!

Bad news: He seems worthless in Zhong Rui’s eyes!

"Domination, that's all you have in Mondstadt."

Zhong Ruike did not deliberately lower the price, but the dominance of the wind god Barbatos was indeed only worth this little mola!

Because Barbatos never manages Mondstadt's internal affairs, the Wind God is basically a symbol, and actually has no real power at all!

Even if Zhong Rui buys Mondstadt, Mondstadt City will use various procedures to prove that the Mondstadt land does not belong to the wind god Barbatos.

When the time comes, if Zhong Rui wants to get these lands, he will have no choice but to fight. After the fight is over, he will have to find a way to handle the internal affairs by himself.

It's like he just spent money to buy the name of legally ruling Mondstadt.

If it were the rice wife next door, General Raiden's right to rule would be worth a lot of money!

After all, General Raiden has the final say in everything in Inazuma. Even if General Raiden suddenly announces that Inazuma will be handed over to Zhong Rui to rule, the Inazuma shogunate will fully cooperate, and although the people of Inazuma will feel uneasy, there will be no resistance. and cases of rebellion.

This is the gap between the two, and it is also the reason why Zhong Rui only gave Wendy that little bit of mola.

"It turns out that I...sigh."

After listening to Zhong Rui's explanation, Wendy picked up a bottle of fire water and poured it into her throat. The bitter wine entered her throat and her heart ached.

"Sell! I can only sell this anyway!"

"Then sign the contract."

Zhong Rui looked at the signature written by Wendy on the contract. This was a sacred seal that could not be imitated by mortals, and it was also the signature that proved Barbatos' identity.

"Then the contract is established. Anyone who breaks his promise will be punished by eating rocks."

As he spoke, Zhong Rui handed over the bank card containing 3.86 billion 343 Moras to Wendy, while also thinking about what to do next to rule Mondstadt.

Hmm... How about sending all those Mondstadts to the snowy mountains to grow potatoes?

"That's all, these 3.8 billion molas are enough for me... Hey! Zhongli, why did you take my card?!"

"Three, eight hundred and sixty million, three hundred and forty-three molas, which is exactly the amount of molas you owe me. Now our debts have been cleared..."

Zhongli ignored Wendy's objection and put the bank card in his pocket. With this large sum of money, he could find a wife for Lie Yao Lu Shark.

"I owe you so much money?!"

Wendy didn't expect that she owed Zhongli so many molas without knowing it. Although he often asked Zhongli to borrow money, the amount each time was only a few million molas, and the maximum did not exceed 10 million! ?

Is it because he borrowed a lot?

"This is still the principal. If you include the interest that is often said in the world, then..."

"Stop, stop, stop! It doesn't matter! I've just paid off all my debts! But now that I've paid off my debts, my credibility has been restored with you, right? Yes? Borrow some?"

Zhongli saw the way Wendy stretched out her hand, and seeing that he had already paid off the debt, he took out a bag containing hundreds of thousands of moras from his pocket and gave it to him.

"Five hundred thousand molas, 1% interest per month..."

"Okay! Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back in the future!"

After taking the heavy money bag, Wendy pocketed the money without thinking about paying it back at all.

Chapter 474 Mond returns to Liyue from now on

A few days later, Qin, who was the acting leader of the Knights of the West Wind, was called to the Church of the West Wind by Mondstadt's top brass...

"Bishop Simon, why did you summon me this time? Could it be that the expedition team has a problem and needs support?"

Hearing the respectful tone of his daughter's working state, Bishop Simon showed a somewhat unnatural expression, but the current situation did not allow him to care about such small things.

"Qin, look at this..."

"Is this? Huh? Huh!?"

After receiving the original contract handed over by Bishop Simon, Qin's face showed unconcealable surprise. No wonder Barbara stood beside her father in despair. It turned out to be because of this...

But why did Lord Barbatos sell Mondstadt to Liyue? !

"Not long ago, the envoy from Liyue decided to expropriate everything in Mondstadt. We are trying to find ways to negotiate terms with them, but we do not have the capital to negotiate terms..."

Bishop Simon said with a wry smile on his face. It means that Emperor Tianrui is not interested in slavery, otherwise everyone in Mondstadt will become slaves in a foreign country.

Barbatos, the god of wind, really posed a problem for them...

But even if this continues, all of them Mondlanders will be expelled from Mondstadt.

Now the church has used procedures to prove that the land of Mondstadt does not belong to the wind god Barbatos, relying on this kind of paper to delay time.

But Fengshen has sold Mondstadt's right to rule to Emperor Tianrui. After that, Emperor Tianrui can launch a war against Mondstadt in the name of conquering the land.

What makes Mondstadt despair is that Liyue has just concluded the Four-Nation Alliance. If he launches a war, then Zhidong, Daozhi, and Xumi will also launch a war against Mondstadt...

Faced with this situation, Mond could only be described as desperate!

I don’t even know where the news leaked out, causing many Mondstadt people to drink alcohol in the tavern. When these drunkards drink up all their assets, the order is about to collapse...

By then, let alone preparing for war, the Knights of the West Wind can be considered a good thing if they can stabilize the order in Mondstadt!

"Qin, I heard that you have a good relationship with Emperor Tianrui. I hope you can take your friends to Liyue and convince Emperor Tianrui not to be so extreme. We Mondstadt is willing to accept the rule of this rock god, but we also hope that Preserve its assets and civilian identity."

Qin looked at the contract document with complicated emotions, and immediately understood the reason why her father called her here. He wanted to use their friendship with Emperor Tianrui to get him to give up the expulsion and forced expropriation of the Mondez people.

"I see."

With the ancestral precept of forever protecting Mondstadt silently in her heart, Qin accepted the commission from Bishop Simon.

At the same time, she also understood that these friends of Emperor Rui of hers were Mond's last life-saving straw.

"Barbara will also accompany you. By the way, you'd better call some of your friends who are close friends with Emperor Tianrui. From now on... I'll leave it to you!"

Bishop Simon lowered his head towards his daughter and bent deeply. They shouldered all of Mond's hopes and must protect Mond's last bit of freedom no matter what means they used.

Soon Qin took Barbara, who had packed her luggage in advance, and called Lisa who knew Zhong Rui from the Knights. Amber is still in Liyue Port. When she saw off Youra, she I also took a long vacation by the way.

As for Kaia, he still needs to stay in Mondstadt City to stabilize the chaotic order here. I hope he can join forces with senior Diluc to stabilize Mondstadt City until they return...

And Keli, she is still a child, and it is not suitable for her to be involved in political disputes between adults.

In order to reach Mondstadt in the fastest time, Qin and Lisa rode on the fastest horse of the Knights. Barbara sat behind Qin because she could not ride a horse.

But at this time, she didn't care about this precious opportunity to have close contact with her sister, and was still immersed in the loss of Lord Fengshen abandoning Mondstadt.
