Genshin Impact: Zhongli discovered that he was stealing tributes at the beginning

"Kaia, why did you come to the tavern suddenly?" Diluc asked while wiping the wine bottle.

"Hey! Didn't I invite you to a lakeside dinner? There are a lot of people this time."

"Dinner by the lake? I'm not going." Diluc never liked dealing with strangers.

"Captain Qin will also go this time."

"Well..." Diluc hesitated for a while, but did not reply.

"Including Mr. Wu Zhi who came from Liyue!"

"Mr. Wu Zhi?" Diluc was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said, "Okay, I will go, and I also need to prepare some gifts in advance."

Hearing this, Wu Yong muttered to Zhong Li, "Could the Mr. Wu Zhi they are referring to be Xiao Ye?"

"That's right." Zhongli smiled and nodded.

"Are there many foreigners in Mondstadt today?" Rosalia, who had always been quiet when drinking, suddenly asked.

"Of course!" Kaia spread her hands, "Miss Rosalia, do you also want to participate?"

"Haha, I never like busy places." Rosalia said calmly.

"So you want to observe secretly again?"

"Secret observation? I'm just an ordinary nun. I wouldn't do such a thing. But you, the cavalry captain..."

"Always pay attention to every move of the Mondstadt people. You are really not like an ordinary nun." Diluc interjected abruptly.

"Both each other. Mr. Diluc is not like an ordinary wealthy businessman at all." Rosalia drank the dandelion in the cup and shrugged.

"Miss Rosalia really knows how to joke. Are there any of you here who have a very small background?" Kaia said with a smile, and then he looked towards the door of the tavern, where two figures were standing.

"Even the famous honorary knight came to the tavern as a guest. Oh, Noelle is here too. Today is indeed a good day for drinking."

"H-Hello everyone!" Noelle, who was originally holding his free arm, immediately let go of his hand when he saw such an acquaintance, and shyly stretched out his hand to say hello.

"That's right, then Kaiya, are you ready for your tuition?" Wendy looked at Kaiya.

"Just go to Mr. Diluc to get it directly. Three bottles of wine cost me a lot of money." Kaia waved her hand.

"The better the wine, the more expensive it is. It's natural." Diluc smiled implicitly.

"Traveller, was the Wind Flower Festival fun?" Rosalia asked, crossing her arms.

"Yeah, not bad." Sora secretly held Noel's hand behind his back. It was warm and soft, so comfortable to touch.

"Yeah, that's good."

"Come on, everyone, cheers to the happy Wind Flower Festival and the tourists pursuing freedom!" Wendy raised her cup and shouted.

"Cheers--!" The first person to respond to Wendy was Wu Yong. He hadn't had a hearty drink with a group of young people like this for a long time, because Xiaoye, Xiaotao and the others hardly drank.

"Ah haha, it's such a good holiday. You guys should have some drinks too." Kaiya enthusiastically poured two glasses of wine for Sora and Noelle, "Oh no, Noelle can't drink."

"Cheers." Zhongli smiled and raised his glass.

At this time, Kaia and Rosalia were a little surprised. The man who spoke had such extraordinary temperament, why would they automatically ignore him.

"cheers!"

After finishing the drink, Rosalia couldn't help but sigh: "Compared to the cathedral, the tavern is a really good place. Speaking of which, we should have a few days off for this kind of festival. Why doesn't the church have a holiday?"

"Maybe it's because during the holidays, the hard-working Lord Barbatos, the god of wind, will also silently protect the Mondlanders, so the church will not rest." Kaia raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Ahem!" Wendy suddenly coughed heavily.

"Brother Wendy, are you okay?" Wu Yong asked.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Wendy's cheeks were hot and she waved her hands quickly.

Seeing this, Zhongli, Diluc and Qiu couldn't help laughing.

Benlang Ridge has rugged and steep terrain, deep and dense forests, and you will feel the eerie silence when you are in it.

Dangerous wolves live in the shadows of the forest, and even hunters dare not go deep into them easily.

In the middle of the night, people often hear distant howls coming from here.

Fortunately, it was daytime now, and the person traveling with him was the "Wolf Boy" who stayed in the Running Wolf Territory all year round, so Mika didn't need to be alert to the surrounding environment at all times.

He was originally a member of the expedition team led by Grand Commander Falga. Now he returned to Mondstadt with a mission. When he was passing through the Wolf Ridge, he happened to meet the practicing Lei Ze.

Lei Ze is not good at words, but he is happy to escort Mika back to the city because Mika is his good friend.
