Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

"Ahem, then who can answer this poet's question? Has Miss Heulia really returned to the world?"

Wendy hummed a few times, drawing everyone's attention back to herself.

The wind can bring news from far away to the little poet, even the Inazuma Islands, which are isolated overseas and blocked by thunderstorms. Theoretically, no secret can be hidden from the singer who listens to the wind.

Unfortunately, the amount of information carried by the wind is very limited, and the news is even more fragmented when the Thousand Winds are raging. Therefore, most of the time, Wendy only knows the general story of what happened in other countries outside Mondstadt, and many details are still difficult to piece together.

Therefore, Wendy really figured out the news about Heulia's resurrection from the sudden change of the stars, but the help of the great astrologer Mona was also indispensable.

"Of course! This experience is dangerous..."

When it came to the storytelling part, which Paimon was best at, the little guy played the role of a guide for a rare occasion, describing in detail the whole story of the Yinyuan Hall's summoning of the gods to Wendy, and finally shook his index finger proudly:

"Anyway, it's about the epic feat of Lord Paimon and the Traveler going deep into the dangerous underground, uncovering the conspiracy of the Silver Plains Hall, and saving innocent people from the evil hands of the Fatui!"

Looking at Paimon's arrogant and smug appearance, the Traveler lowered his head in shame.

Wendy had long guessed that there were many deliberately exaggerated plots in the story told by little Paimon, but as the best bard in the world, he also knew how a qualified audience should behave, so he applauded enthusiastically to express his appreciation.

"…As expected of the famous Traveler and Paimon! Even in the long night of fallen gods, they are the brightest stars."

The poet was generous with his praise, and even Paimon, who was thick-skinned, felt a little embarrassed. He couldn't help but reach out and touch the back of his head, defending the two gods who were actually playing chess beside him:

"Well... Zhongli and FAMAS also contributed..."

Zhongli, whose name was called, responded with a gentle look and a smile, like an elder who had turned the tide and supported a collapsing building, yet remained humble and did not take any credit.

However, Famas's behavior was completely opposite to Zhongli's. After hearing Paimon's words, the boy nodded in agreement. His smug look was exactly the same as that of the little mascot.

"They are both gods who have existed for thousands of years, but their personalities are so different..."

  The Traveler looked at Zhongli and FAMAS thoughtfully. After listening to Paimon's exaggerated boasting, Venti acted curious and asked FAMAS about the reason for Heulia's resurrection:

"Then, Mr. Slime, how did you get Miss Heulia back to the mortal world?"

Wendy's question also reflected the doubts of everyone present. Although it was rumored that Nata now had the technology to resurrect the dead, it was really unbelievable to let an ancient demon like Heulia see the light of day again. It was like the miracle that happened on Sky Island when the messengers of God walked the earth in the past.

"...Didn't I tell you the detailed process of resurrection a long time ago?"

As soon as Wendy finished speaking, Famas frowned and asked back with a little confusion.

Hearing this, the Traveler and Paimon looked at Venti at the same time. Zhongli next to him also seemed to raise his head a little eagerly, but soon restrained himself and looked into the distance in silence, no one knew what he was thinking.

"Hey, really?" "Then I may have forgotten a little... How about you tell me again?"

Wendy tilted her head and showed her signature innocent smile, but there was no curiosity or doubt in her emerald green eyes. It was obvious that she already knew the method of resurrecting Heulia, but she didn't know why she brought it up again on this occasion.

Famas's gaze swept across the Traveler and Paimon, and finally landed on Zhongli's silent face.

Looking at Wendy's eyes full of suggestion and expectation, Farmas immediately understood what the little poet wanted to do.

The relationship between Famas and Zhongli is not good. The entanglement over the past thousand years has always made the two of them wary of each other. It is only because of the sword hanging high in the sky and various considerations that they maintain a false friendly relationship on the surface.

Wendy and Zhongli are the seven mortal rulers appointed by Sky Island, and they have a friendship of colleagues going back thousands of years.

More importantly, the plan to rebel against the world still requires Zhongli's help.

Caught between his colleagues and his friends, Venti was unable to make a decision, so he chose to give up directly, hoping to rely on his eloquence to ease the relationship between Famas and Zhongli. However, both of them were gods who had existed for thousands of years, so how could they not see the poet's thoughts.

Although it was Wendy who asked how to resurrect the gods, the question was asked on behalf of Morax.

Famas saw through the poet's thoughts and knew that he meant well, but he still sneered and sighed in self-mockery.

"When the Munatar Academy of Sciences develops inventions and cutting-edge technologies, Xumi and Kanria are always the first countries to receive the full set of technologies, followed by the liberated Mondstadt and other allied countries."

"From the most basic cartography, mechanics to steam power, military engineering, general ballistics, parts standardization, composite ablative materials, element directional conversion, and alien biological blood editing... Whether it's the ultimate secret of alchemical transmutation or the miracle of reversing life and death, I sent all the technical information to Mondstadt, which is ruled by the wind god Barbatos."

Famas casually quoted highly professional terms, and even Morax, who was famous for his erudition, couldn't help but frown slightly, unable to fully understand the meaning. Only Wendy had sharp ears and eyes, and it was obvious that she had already understood the technological development of Munatar.

Considering the relationship between Wendy and Famas alone, it is understandable that the poet had such insight, but the fact that he mastered such advanced science and technology and developed Mond to this point was something that many Munata people at that time could not understand.

Akhtar, the King's Hand of Munatar, has repeatedly asked Famas whether it is necessary to reveal scientific and technological knowledge to Barbatos. After all, if the other party knows but does not use it, there is still a risk of leakage.

However, FAMAS seemed to have anticipated this and was even very tolerant of many of Wendy's actions.

Akhtar couldn't guess what Farmas was thinking, but she was willing to obey his majesty's will. Barbatos ruled but did not govern, and Mond posed no threat to Munatar. The relationship between the two countries could be described as completely defenseless. As time passed, Akhtar's attitude towards Mond changed from initial caution to indifference.

Even though Mondstadt and Barbatos are of little use in the war, His Majesty likes them. In that case, it's fine to keep them. After all, Mondstadt nobles also have the tradition of keeping singers. Just think of it as Your Majesty raising a cat or dog, and petting them to relieve boredom in your spare time.

After no longer looking at Mondstadt with a strategic mindset, Akhtar found that even Barbatos, who usually took advantage of the situation, became much more pleasing to the eye. Perhaps this was just as his majesty had said.

Those who are favored are always fearless. (End of this chapter)
