The Scattered Soldier subconsciously protected the precious sword at his waist!
This was the symbol of his identity as a Hero! It represented his pure and kind soul!
He had just casually mentioned it to the yellow-haired guy before.
He couldn't believe he was actually going to?
No way! Was he even worthy to be a Hero?
"What? Didn't you say you'd give it to me?"
The yellow-haired guy raised an eyebrow. For some reason, he just couldn't stand the sight of the Scattered Soldier!
"Traveler~ are you okay~"
Paimon floated over, looking worried.
The Traveler from before was never like this!
"Traveler~ stop messing around!"
"The title of Hero isn't something you snatch!"
Nilou, standing beside them, suddenly spoke up, her tone a little annoyed.
The yellow-haired guy glanced at them, but didn't say anything!
He simply sat down on the ground, his gaze fixed on the sky screen!
"Cut it out~ weakling~ always needing others to rescue you~ still dreaming of being a Hero?"
The Scattered Soldier sneered, truly despising the yellow-haired guy from the bottom of his heart!
Of course, the same went for the one on the sky screen!
Don't act like he couldn't hear him!
First, it was "murderer," then "judgment"! What was that supposed to mean?
Wasn't that just mocking him?
"Kid! You better not let me catch you!"
The Scattered Soldier looked at Mo Li on the sky screen, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
······
With the situation resolved, Mondstadt City plunged into a frenzy of celebration!
It was as if the Windblume Festival had started early!
"It's the Stormterror! The God's Envoy subdued him!"
"I told you so! You have to believe in the Envoy! You were all against it earlier!"
"Hey!! Don't put words in my mouth! When did I ever question the God's Envoy?"
"Great! It's the God's Envoy! We're saved!"
At this moment, Dvalin was continuously circling above Mondstadt City!
Mo Li truly embodied the phrase "flaunting one's achievements"!
【Wanderer: He sure knows how to show off~ His desire for fame is too strong!】
【Zhongli: Isn't this a form of reassuring the people?】
【Eula: That's right! Don't think so poorly of others!】
【Yae Miko: As expected~ Excellent people always attract envy!】
【Wanderer: ??? You guys weren't saying that before!】
Talk about a complete reversal! Now Mo Li could show off without anyone criticizing him?
Why did it feel like the wind direction in the sky screen had completely changed?
······
"What's wrong? Still got a temper?"
Mo Li stared at the dejected bard, a playful smirk on his face.
Venti seemed to have a lot to say~ but ultimately, he just sighed!
He wasn't in a position to criticize Mo Li, after all, it was his own betrayal that had put him in this situation.
"Hey~ I was definitely lost and even angry before."
"But after returning to Mondstadt~ I realized that maybe none of it matters."
They were both standing on the very center of the statue of the Anemo Archon, overlooking the city below.
Every Mondstadtian was wearing a genuine smile!
A slight smile curved Venti's lips, his eyes a bit dreamy.
"I never questioned my understanding of freedom!"
"But··· you seem to be right."
Venti turned back sincerely.
"Thank you for everything you've brought to Mondstadt~ maybe~ I should really let go."
Mo Li was surprised at his words!
He knew he was already a bit of a cuckoo in the nest!
But Venti, as the Anemo Archon, was simply agreeing to this?
"Have you thought this through? I'm taking not only Mondstadt City, but also the faith of the Mondstadtians!"
"As a god, you should know the gravity of this situation!"
Venti smiled coolly, saying:
"Of course I know."
"I know you wouldn't believe me before~ but···
"I'm truly not interested in ruling Mondstadt."
His gaze deepened, as if reminiscing about something~
"My friend and I overthrew the tyranny and built this city of freedom from the ruins."
"I longed to see the smiles of the people!"
"And now, the people of Mondstadt are clearly living better under your rule!"
"So why should I ruin everything?"
【Zhongli: The Anemo Archon's noble spirit, we admire him!】
【Xiao: Indeed~ While he may not always do things properly, the spirit he brings us! The inspiration he gives us! They're both invaluable!】
【Alhaitham: As expected, gods are gods, their way of thinking is beyond our comprehension!】
【Nahida: The Anemo Archon is my role model!】
【Mondstadt Citizens: Wuwuwu~~~ Even though the Anemo Archon doesn't do anything useful, he's been protecting us in his own way! Wuwuwu~ I'm tearing up!】
【Venti: Hehe~】
Mo Li smiled~ He had to admit~
Venti at this moment truly earned his respect!
"Friend! Want to drink? This round is on me!"
Venti shuddered, clearly remembering some unpleasant experience!
"I have one more request."
"Say it."
Mo Li nodded decisively. Just based on Venti's character, he was willing to be friends with him.
"Treat Dvalin well~"
Venti chuckled bitterly, but then quickly changed the subject!
"Hehe~ Hold on to the drinking! We'll return this first!"
Venti took out the Skyward Harp, but it was already damaged!
Mo Li immediately fell silent!
Even though the Skyward Harp wasn't damaged due to external factors this time.
But he had smashed it when he ambushed Venti!
In other words, he was the one who had broken the Skyward Harp!
【Itto: Hahahaha! Finally, Mo Li's taking a hit! Now let's see how you're going to explain this to Ms. Barbara!】
【Bennett: The Traveler from before was rejected because of the Skyward Harp, so his impression score was low~ That's why he refused to be alone with the Traveler~】
【Aether: ... Aren't we going to talk about this?】
【Hu Tao: Revenge! The Anemo Archon is definitely doing this on purpose!】
【Zhongli: Remember! The Anemo Archon will give you a hard time, but not too hard!】
【Wanderer: I can already imagine the scene! Barbara, you've been betrayed too?】
Mo Li could already tell what Venti was thinking~
Wow, little Venti was quite the grudge holder!
But the most outrageous way the Anemo Archon could get back at him was to make him get a bit of scolding, huh?
Mo Li chuckled~
Although Venti didn't do things properly among the Seven, he still gave Mo Li a good impression!
Simply put···He was a cool dude!
Mo Li was practically dragged to the Church by Venti!
Who would have thought that the Anemo Archon would reveal his playful side!
He was like a mischievous wind spirit!
"We're here to return the Skyward Harp!!!"
Venti yelled, like a mischievous child!
Everyone immediately focused their attention~ especially the yellow-haired guy!
He had just been put down by the Scattered Soldier, and he was still breathing heavily!
He didn't have any ill intentions towards Mo Li, but he was still happy to see him get put in his place!
"Hehe! This time, he's gotta get lectured, right?"
"That's when I got the cold shoulder!"
The yellow-haired guy reminisced, as if he could still see Barbara's scrutinizing gaze.
"Mo Li, you're alright!!"
Barbara's voice immediately echoed from the sky screen!
Her voice was filled with joy, but then froze!
Because she saw the broken Skyward Harp!
As expected~ Barbara couldn't accept it! She was completely stunned!
Here it comes! Here it comes!!
Many were looking forward to it, and indeed, Barbara charged towards Mo Li!
"Wuwuwu~~~ Mo Li, are you alright? Did you get hurt?"
Seeing Barbara rushing into Mo Li's embrace with a worried face, everyone was stunned!
"Barbara, the Skyward Harp..."
Venti couldn't help but bring it up again!
But in the next moment, Barbara suddenly went ballistic!
She slammed the Skyward Harp, now in Venti's hands, onto the ground.
"The Skyward Harp! The Skyward Harp! You just care about the Skyward Harp!"
"It's just a dead object! Is it more important than Mo Li's safety?"
"The Skyward Harp is so shattered, Mo Li must have gone through a tough battle, right?"
"Did you get hurt? Go behind and take off your pants, let's check for internal injuries~"
"······"
Venti froze in place, watching his most devoted believer mercilessly slam his sacred object onto the ground, falling into deep thought.
At this moment, he really wanted to roar:
"I'm not the Anemo Archon?"
"Am I really not the Anemo Archon?!!! (Super Loud)"
