People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

After discussing with Qin about how to ward off the Wind Dragon and deal with the Fatui, it was almost midnight.

However, Rhodes did not return to his rented house while walking on the street, but went straight to the most popular tavern in Mondstadt, Angel's Gift.

This time.

He didn't miss again.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a green figure drinking happily.

Just like what the passerby who showed me the way said.

The wind god Barbatos really appeared here on time at midnight and did not disappoint anyone at all.

164. Chapter 158 Fairy tales are all lies

Chapter 158 Fairy tales are all lies

What Wendy was drinking was not the signature dandelion wine of Angel's Gift, but just the most ordinary grape wine, which was also one of the cheapest wines of Angel's Gift.

But even so.

Wendy still drank happily.

Mond's wine is very famous, especially the dandelion wine produced by Dawn Winery, which is sold throughout the entire continent of Teyvat for its unique cool and slightly sweet taste and rich grain aroma.

But dandelion wine is not cheap.

usually.

With Wendy's meager income from singing, she could only afford cheap bulk dandelion wine.

Seeing as he could only afford grape wine today, he probably didn't have much money left and couldn't even afford the cheapest dandelion wine.

He might even have no money on hand and was planning to sing to pay the bill.

Rod walked straight over, sat down next to Wendy, and bought a glass of dandelion wine.

It's bottled, and the price is neither the cheapest nor the most expensive, it's the kind that Mond people often drink.

The glasses have just been delivered.

Wendy, who was originally immersed in the grape wine, immediately turned her head and sniffed with an intoxicated look on her face.

Rhodes said nothing, silently pushed the dandelion wine in his hand over, and then ordered another glass of dandelion wine that was slightly better than the previous one.

Wendy is welcome too.

Faced with Rhode's silent invitation, he not only did not ask any questions, but instead directly picked up the glass and drank heartily.

Let’s drink one cup.

Rhodes pushed the second glass of wine over.

that's it.

After drinking several glasses of wine, Wendy felt a little embarrassed and scratched her head and said, "Um, you."

"I need your help with something."

Rod bluntly stated the reason for the treat, opened his mouth, and uttered a few words silently.

Barbatos, god of wind.

People who understand lip reading can tell what he is saying at a glance.

Fortunately, everyone in the bar was drinking happily at that time, and no one paid attention to the two of them, so naturally no one noticed what Rhodes was saying to Wendy.

"."

Wendy, who originally wanted to fight with Rhodes for a while, was suddenly frustrated by Rhodes's tricks.

Although when he saw the small floating machine that was shining behind Rhodes, he knew that Rhodes must have known his identity, so he deliberately approached him.

But if you expose other people's identities right from the start, it will be a lot less fun!

"Eh--"

Wendy scratched his head in annoyance, then stretched out his voice and said, "Okay, go ahead. But let me make it clear in advance that I'm just a weak and powerless bard. I can't help you with anything too difficult."

These words that sounded like they were being coerced, coupled with this aggrieved expression, and Wendy's innocent face as a minor.

If he hadn't used some unknown method to prevent the sound of his conversation with Rhodes from being heard, someone would have probably started to enforce justice and come forward to ask what was going on.

"Nashida wants to borrow your Heart of God. In return, I will stay in Mond and help you deal with Tevarin's madness."

Rhodes remained unmoved and spoke directly about the transaction of the Heart of God.

Say it.

He looked at Wendy with his sharp eyes, waiting for the answer from the god of wind.

There is no need to go into too much detail.

Wendy is the god who controls a thousand winds.

Similar to how all the plants and trees are Nashida's eyes and ears, the thousands of flowing winds are Wendy's eyes and ears. As long as the wind does not stop, there is nothing he doesn't know.

So Rhodes knew what was going on.

Wendy must have been very aware of his conversation with Jean and Lisa in the library just now, and she must have been very aware that he knew a lot of things and could provide a lot of useful help in the matter of Tevarin.

Also.

Just now, Wendy calmly accepted the drinks I offered him, and didn't even ask why I was treating him for nothing.

This shows that he was mentally prepared and was not completely unaware of it beforehand.

“Heart of God——”

Wendy didn't reject the deal right away. Instead, he stroked his chin and said, "It's not impossible, but if you take my Heart of God, you'll get into a lot of trouble. Aren't you afraid of trouble?"

"Compared to the withering World Tree, this little trouble is nothing."

Rhodes said seriously, "As long as the problem of the World Tree is not solved, my friends and students will have to suffer from the magic scale disease for another day, and will also face the threat of death at any time."

"Well, that's it."

“This is indeed a big problem.”

Then Wendy threw out an emerald green chess piece and said nonchalantly, "Take it. You need it more than I do."

The situation reversed instantly.

Just now, Wendy was caught off guard by Rod's straightforwardness.

Now it's Rhodes' turn who is speechless!

It's that simple?

This was the only thought in Rhodes' mind at this moment.

He was ready to have a long discussion with Wendy about the deal for the Heart of God, but after just two sentences, he got the Heart of God! ?

Holding this Heart of God surrounded by wind elements, I feel the terrifying power of God contained within it.

Recalling what Nashida said before he set out, "The Heart of God is not that easy to borrow," Rhodes suddenly felt unreal.

Isn’t Wendy a little too easy to talk to?

Isn't he afraid that a stranger like him might run away with the Heart of God?

Moreover, there was no way that his identity as an outsider could be hidden from Wendy's eyes.

There are so many debuffs on me.

Why does Wendy dare to trust an outsider like me so much!

Thinking about it.

Rhodes's confused expression suddenly changed.

Before he could speak.

Wendy laughed and said, "Now, you owe me a favor, my friend~~~"

"—!"

Rhodes' ominous premonition came true.

Wendy was really using the Heart of God to exchange for favors, so that she couldn't take advantage of the dragon disaster.

The key is that once you get the Heart of God, you can't give it back.

In other words, I simply cannot refuse to owe someone a favor.

Rhode felt like he was being manipulated, and asked with a headache, "Aren't you afraid that I'll take your Heart of God and just run back to Xumi without doing anything?"

"Hey."

Wendy laughed triumphantly, "How could someone that Buyer likes be such a rogue?"

"Moreover."

As he spoke, he came closer to Rhodes and laughed, "I trust you so much, you will definitely not let me down, right?"

Look at his harmless smile.

do not know why.

Rhodes shuddered for no reason.

really.

Fairy tales are all lies.

Wendy is not some naive and cheerful person who can be happy even if someone has their heart betrayed.

He is a god, a god who won the war against demons and lived for more than two thousand years. Even if he is very close to humans, it does not mean that he will trust humans unconditionally.

And the reason why he was willing to hand over the Heart of God to himself so easily.

But it's not just because the World Tree needs this Heart of God to save it.

Another reason is that in Mondstadt, no matter how much he jumps around, he cannot escape his clutches. By the way, he can also rescue a powerful fighter for the short-handed Knights of Favonius.

"You've walked into a trap."

Rhodes, holding the Heart of God in his hand, muttered to himself with a bitter face.

165. Chapter 159 Wendy's Little Plan

Chapter 159 Wendy's Little Plan

After completing the "transaction" of the Heart of God in a nearly free manner, the smile on Wendy's face became even brighter than before.

I can tell.

He was really happy.

As for what Rhode was thinking, his reaction was to raise his glass high and laugh as if they were real good drinking buddies: "Happy cooperation!"

Although he wanted to curse, Rhode still raised his glass weakly and said, "Happy cooperation!"

"Hey, don't make that face."

"Look, you are satisfied, and I am satisfied too. This is a win-win situation for both of us, a win-win situation~~~"

Wendy, who had lost the Heart of God herself, comforted the gloomy Rhode and patted his shoulder, saying, "However, since I have lost my status as the symbol of God, I no longer have the ability to protect myself. From now on, I will have to rely on you to protect me."

"."

Rhode looked at Wendy who was trying to scam him speechlessly, and said with a grin, "You are the God of Wind and I am the God of Wind?"

"No one!"

"Now we only have a pair of good friends, Wendy and Rod, haha~~~"

Wendy continued to speak shamelessly, without any awareness that she was a god.

"you are vicious."
