Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

******

At this moment, Gu Jing also arrived at Angel's Gift. Despite the recent dragon calamity, the tavern was still very noisy. Those who had the diary copy and saw this scene through the live stream were at a loss for words.

After looking around, Gu Jing found his target: a drunken poet wearing a green cloak and white stockings. The man was occupying a table by himself, enjoying his fruit wine.

Seeing that this guy was actually in the tavern, Gu Jing was speechless.

However, noticing the several holes in the white stockings around his ankles that looked like they had been bitten by a dog, Gu Jing couldn't help but chuckle in realization.

She stepped forward and sat down opposite him, her eyes full of schadenfreude: "Serves you right for always slacking off, now you've got what you deserve, haven't you?"

Wendy was a little surprised to hear this, then chuckled and said, "Friend, don't you think slacking off is fun?"

Am I suggesting that slacking off is the main point?

Gu Jing couldn't help but chuckle and nodded with a smile: "Slacking off is indeed very enjoyable, but you wouldn't refuse business now that it's coming your way, would you?"

"As long as you can play a song that sounds good to me."

"These Mora are yours."

As he spoke, Gu Jing took out the Mora bag that Rosalin had given him from his storage space, grabbed a handful of Mora, and slammed it onto the table.

Wendy jumped up immediately upon seeing this, her eyes practically turning into Mora's shape: "10 Mora!"

"Please sit down!"

"I'll play a tune for you right now!!!"

P.S.: Thanks to the owner of 'Peach Juice Bites' for the vote!

The picture shows Wendy.

Chapter Eighteen: A seasoned veteran, over a thousand years old; Witness your legend!

A Gift from Angels

Life is tough, and Wendy has to perform for money. Faced with 10 Mora, Wendy's integrity almost vanishes instantly.

Soon, he played a piece for Gu Jing, a beautiful and melodious song. Gu Jing's smile grew even wider: "Not bad. Although I don't know much about music, I can roughly tell that this piece is about resistance and hope."

"As a reward, all these Mora are yours."

"Thank you, boss!"

Wendy's face lit up with joy: "Mr. Charles, please replace all the Mora on the table with dandelion liqueur!"

He called out towards the bar, then chuckled and looked at Gu Jing: "Want to grab a drink? My treat!"

Gu Jing, resting his chin on his hand, asked, "What day of the week is it today?"

Wendy answered truthfully, "It's Friday! Tomorrow's another happy weekend!"

"In a sense, weekends do make people happy."

"And since it's already the weekend."

"I don't need to restrain myself."

Gu Jing smiled and agreed, and Wendy smiled even more happily: "Then you must try the wine of Mondstadt, it will make you forget all your troubles."

******

Watching Gu Jing and Wendy chatting happily from the live stream, Qin and the others were a little puzzled. Yesterday, Rosalia invited him to drink, but he didn't agree. This afternoon, he also refused Beidou's invitation to drink at the Coral Palace.

Even though tomorrow is the weekend, didn't Mr. Gu Jing say he wasn't interested in boys? So why would he rather reject a girl than Wendy?

Meanwhile, the bartender, Mr. Charles, placed a plate of dandelion liqueur in front of the two of them. Wendy then performed a special skill—drinking the liqueur while biting the glass with her mouth, and at the same time, she could play a beautiful tune while laughing.

With a wry smile, Gu Jing picked up the dandelion wine on the table, took a small sip, and then made a note in his diary.

[Regarding dandelion wine (Part 1): Dandelion wine has a very smooth taste. It has a slightly bitter initial taste, but upon closer tasting, a fragrant sweetness can be detected.]

However, the alcohol content isn't very high, around 13 degrees. Getting me drunk? That's a very difficult task.

Just then, Wendy stopped playing the piano.

Smiling, she looked at Gu Jing and asked, "How do you feel about this one?"

After thinking carefully for a moment, Gu Jing replied, "If I'm not mistaken, this piece of music is about love, right?"

"And it was a love story that ended in tragedy."

"The only tragic love story that I can think of that you can remember is the story of Rosalind and Rustan from 500 years ago."

"Seriously, don't let Rosalyn hear you playing this piece."

"Otherwise, your influence won't work with her."

"Giving you two slaps would be too lenient."

Wendy's smile froze upon hearing this, but she quickly chuckled carefree, her expression still somewhat gossipy:

"I didn't expect you to know me so well."

"But what's the situation between you and her?"

"The wind tells me she misses you a lot today."

"Weren't you pleasantly surprised?"

Gu Jing: "???" Is that so?

Completely surprised that his beloved Rosalyn would secretly miss him, Gu Jing was also somewhat astonished upon hearing this. But after a moment's thought, Gu Jing rolled his eyes at him: "Is it the kind of longing that makes you want to kill me? And you were actually spying on me?"

"Looks like Dvalin biting you was too lenient!"

"When are you going to get down to business?"

"Barbatos!"

Everyone: "—!!!" It really is true!

Listening to their conversation during the live stream, people had already made some guesses, but when the moment of confirmation arrived, it was indeed a moment of disillusionment, especially for the people of Mondstadt, who found it the hardest to accept.

Why is Lord Barbatos a drunkard?

Moreover, the dragon calamity has just occurred, so why is Lord Barbatos still able to sit in the tavern and drink peacefully?

So, were all the things Mr. Gu Jing said before true?

Is Lord Wind God really a slacker?

And the kind where you slack off 99.99% of the time?

"Hey~"

He let out a carefree sigh.

Wendy said with a hint of pride, “As you know, the best bard in the world is me, Barbatos, but my name in the world is Wendy, so it would be best if you could call me by that name.”

"Nice to meet you."

"The Dawn Guardian from a Foreign Land."

"Thank you for helping Mond when I was busy."

I'd like to offer you a toast.

While saying she'd toast him, Wendy picked up the dandelion wine on the table and drank three glasses in a row, revealing her true nature as a drunkard.

After he revealed his identity, he stared intently at the live stream.

Rosalyn did not act rashly, but chose to patiently wait for the right opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with Him!

******

Two hours later, under the bright moon high in the sky of the False Heaven, Gu Jing, having tasted all the drinks in the tavern, bid farewell to Wendy and left Angel's Gift.

Strolling leisurely along the brightly lit street, Gu Jing, in a good mood, also made a note in his diary.

[Regarding Wendy (Part 1): We didn't have any deep conversations during our first meeting.]

[And the drunken poet is really good at changing the subject; he always manages to answer your questions in a way that avoids the real issues.]

[Should I say he's a seasoned veteran, over a thousand years old?]

However, one detail is still quite concerning.

Wendy also awoke from her slumber after the Dvalin incident.

[And His comforting of Dvalin in the Whispering Forest was witnessed by the passing Fairy and Paimon.]

This could perhaps be considered an accident.

But later he deliberately appeared in front of Yingmei.

[And before the statue of the wind god, he told her the story of Dvalin by playing poetry.]

This is undoubtedly Wendy's strategy.

[Don't let his surprise at how surprised he was when he discovered that Yingmei could purify the power of the abyss fool you.]

But then the most crucial problem arose—

The current situation is like Dvalin being sick and needing to see a doctor.

[If you really didn't know that Yingmei could purify the power of the abyss.]

Why did He take the initiative to seek her out again?

[Furthermore, the Knights of Favonius's "Knight's Handbook" explicitly states that one should greet strangers encountered in the wild.]

The general greeting would be: "Stranger, may the wind god protect you."

[On the day that Yingmei and Paimon arrived in Mondstadt.]

[She met Amber on the road, and Amber said the same thing to her.]

However, upon reflection, the true meaning of this phrase should be, "Stranger, may the wind god deceive you."

Now there's another me.

What will this drunkard do next?

Having recorded this far, Gu Jing was still quite curious about Wendy's next move.
