In fact, this was equivalent to a public-funded tour, and they were eager to stay in Mond for a few more months.
In a room specially used for storing goods in the inn where the Liyue envoys were staying, Keqing was counting the accompanying goods.
“Have someone sort these things out, and give them to the Knights of Favonius after the treaty is signed as a token of Liyue’s sincerity,” Keqing ordered.
A secretary accompanying them nodded and took out a notebook to write it down.
“As for these…please pack them and we will take them with us when we go back.” Keqing said to the secretary who was accompanying her.
"Ah? But aren't these wedding farewells?"
"Well, no need."
"No need for it?" The secretary was surprised for a moment, and then an even more surprised look appeared in his eyes.
Doesn’t that mean... Lord Yuheng... has changed his mind?
……
After explaining the work of the diplomatic mission, Keqing came to the Church of Favonius.
But Barbara was not seen. After asking the nun, he learned that Barbara was out treating people.
Keqing had originally been planning to give the child something else as a gift for his upcoming departure from Mondstadt.
Since Barbara was not there, Keqing had no choice but to hand the bag of special dried fish in her hand to the nun and asked her to pass it to Barbara, and then left the cathedral.
Everything that needs to be done has been almost done, and the new treaty should be signed tomorrow.
Keqing stood in the square in front of the cathedral, looking up at the huge statue of the god of wind.
Several workers were repairing the arms of the statue, and now all that was left was a pair of hands.
"After the accident, instead of repairing the defense facilities to resist the danger, they immediately came to repair the statue. These Mond people are really devout in their belief in Barbatos." Keqing muttered to herself with a sarcastic tone.
But then a breeze came, and a refreshing voice with a smile blew past her ears.
"I heard everything."
Turning back, Keqing saw a green shadow.
It's Wendy the Bard.
"you……"
"Let's go to the pub and have a seat." Wendy said with a smile.
The two came to the Angel's Gift, still in the corner of the second floor.
Keqing and Wendy sat face to face.
Picking up a glass of wine and taking a sip, Wendy nodded and praised: "Sure enough, the wine here tastes the best. Maowei's is a little bit lacking."
Keqing crossed her arms and said nothing, just looking at Venti.
After taking two sips, Wendy finally shuddered, then looked at Keqing helplessly: "I say, we are old friends after all, don't look at me like that, even the wine doesn't taste good anymore."
"Have you known me for a long time?" Keqing finally spoke.
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this question?" Wendy looked puzzled.
Wendy's words, combined with the oil painting seen in the secret room of the leader's office of the Knights of Favonius and the history told by Jean.
Keqing also came to a definite conclusion in her mind.
"What's in the seal is not an illusion, but the real past?"
Keqing had wanted to ask the God of Wind about this for a long time, but she never found the opportunity.
Unexpectedly, it was Wendy who took the initiative to find her.
After Keqing asked, Wendy nodded, then shook her head.
"Yes and no."
"What do you mean?"
This time, Wendy didn't tell any riddles.
He smiled and said, "You can think of the world as a straight line, and that place is another independent line, and you are a needle that passes through the other line but does not stop and just returns to the original one. However, the line is pulled straight by you, the needle. Behind you, the two lines merge into one, but sometimes the lines do not necessarily overlap, and they will deviate and return to the right track."
Keqing still miscalculated. Although what Venti said was not a riddle, it was no different from a riddle.
Fortunately, Keqing’s ability to understand is still good.
"You mean... the sealed space is a parallel universe, and what I do may or may not affect reality?"
"That's right!" Wendy snapped his fingers and nodded: "As expected of a warrior chosen by the Wolf King, a hero of New Mond, and the spiritual symbol of the Knights of Favonius!"
Barbatos is flattering someone, is there any need to explain his purpose?
"I didn't know it could affect reality. You should have told me earlier." Keqing said seriously.
Keqing's meaning was very clear, that is, don't even think about leaving Mondstadt to her.
Wendy was very sad and sighed, "I'm just a bard, how can I know so much?"
"Just like the world only knows heroic poems and heroic stories, who has ever forgotten that in the heroic chapter, there is actually a tiny wind elf. If it hadn't risked its life to save the great hero..."
“Alright, alright.” Keqing quickly interrupted Wendy. She didn’t waste any more time and said directly, “I really don’t have the energy to deal with Mondstadt’s affairs.”
"This sealing incident was already an accident. After returning to Liyue, I still have a lot of things to do." Keqing said, holding her forehead.
"Is it about that emperor?" Wendy asked.
Keqing paused rubbing her temple and then shook her head.
Wendy smiled and said, "I understand. Let's leave Mondstadt to the Mondstadt people. Heroes should exist in poems."
That’s right, Keqing nodded in agreement. It was rare for the God of Wind to say something serious.
“So…” Wendy looked at Keqing and blinked her emerald eyes: “Now that you have the power of wind, are you interested in becoming the new wind god?”
"..."
……
……
After coming out of the tavern, Keqing left without looking back.
Before, Barbatos still looked a bit like a god, but now he has the inexplicable relationship of "partner from many years ago" that suddenly appeared.
Mondstadt's God of Wind completely disregarded his image and kept trying to drag her into the water.
Fortunately, Keqing had rich diplomatic experience and spent a lot of money to buy a lot of wine, and finally shut Wendy up.
However, now Keqing touched her empty wallet and thought back, could it be that the Wind God came to her just to ask her to treat him?
The possibility is great.
But Keqing at least got a lot of useful information.
For example, the news that the sealed world is a real world.
There was also news about the abyss power within the seal. Wendy also told her that neither of the two Wendys had sensed it, so it must have gone to a deeper level.
This also confirms Keqing's guess.
As for the fact that Keqing has the power of wind, Venti gave a vague answer.
He said something like congratulations on her having the second elemental power and looked forward to her defeating the Rock King in the future.
As for where this power that can sense elements without the Eye of God comes from, Venti had no intention of explaining it. He just said that he didn't know either. Maybe Keqing moved the God of Wind.
Obviously, Venti was the real reason for clearing the source of Keqing's wind power.
Keqing also knew that Wendy knew about it, because the stone of the First Wind was thrown to him by Wendy.
Now he pretends not to remember, which obviously means there is something wrong.
However, the power is real and can be controlled by Keqing, and it is also obtained with the help of Venti.
Since Venti doesn't say anything, Keqing has no choice.
After returning to the hotel, Keqing reviewed her sword skills and the documents, and then waited for tomorrow to come.
However, when she was sleeping, she felt a chill coming from the jade bracelet.
When I took it out and looked at it, it turned out that the "cell phone" had sent a message.
[Good morning.]
She replied.
Keqing was speechless.
[It’s already the second night, my friend, why are you still saying good morning to me?]
Two seconds later, the other party replied.
[I was in a meeting yesterday and didn’t bring this with me. Sorry.]
[A one-day meeting? Do you own the entire winter coal mine?]
[Coal mine?]
Keqing replied quickly.
[Nothing, um, I mean, are you okay?]
[not bad.]
[That's good]
After saying this, Keqing didn't know what to say, and the other party probably felt the same way, so it was time to end the conversation.
But when Keqing was about to put the "cell phone" into the jade bracelet, a message came.
[Are you in Liyue now?]
The friend who is the daughter of a coal mine owner in Snow Country asked this.
Of course Keqing couldn't say that she was visiting Liyue as one of the Seven Stars, so she had to lie.
[Um, what's wrong?]
[No big deal, if you're in Liyue, then it's fine. Just be careful not to go to Mondstadt in the next half month.]
[ah? Why? ]
The other party seemed to be organizing his thoughts and replied after two seconds.
[You know the Fatui.]
[I know. He’s the Winter Queen’s lackey.]
The other party seemed to be organizing his thoughts and replied three seconds later.
[They are the Queen's subordinates. They may have some actions outside Mondstadt. I don't know the details. You will be safe as long as you stay in Liyue. Don't run around. Got it.]
[Okay, okay, got it]
[Well, I'm going to sleep, you should also go to bed early.]
After the conversation ended, Keqing frowned slightly. Although the other party was just the daughter of a coal mine owner, she was also considered a high-ranking class and should know some information.
She was a little concerned about the news that the Fatui would appear in Mondstadt, and she would have to tell Jean about it tomorrow.
……
……
The next morning, Keqing arrived at the Knights.
Then, witnessed by important figures of the Knights Templar, she signed a new treaty on behalf of Liyue and Mondstadt represented by Jean.
Although the process was tortuous, the signing was finally completed quickly and everyone was happy with the result.
Because both Keqing and Qiqi had already exchanged opinions on the draft content of the treaty, and this was just a formality.
After signing the treaty, Keqing completed her visit to Mondstadt and had no reason to stay here.
At dusk, Keqing rode on horseback and set off with the Liyue delegation's convoy.
There was nothing to remember. Noelle, Sucrose, the Knights of Favonius, and the people of Mondstadt stood on the other side of the bridge and watched them leave.
Keqing looked back at the free city and then turned away.
