I'm in debt at Bengtie

March 7 was stunned. She hadn't noticed that Wendy was holding a bottle of wine in her hand while talking to them. Wendy quickly shook her head.

"How is that possible? I organized this cocktail party for your sake!"

"We are Mondstadt, a free city, and are famous in Teyvat for our wine. Wine is an integral part of our Mondstadt culture. Didn't you say you wanted to explore the New World and understand our culture? A wine party is the best way to do that. I'm doing this for your own good. After all, you said you can only stay in our world for two days. Instead of running around, why not enjoy wine tasting in Mondstadt? It's the most convenient and quickest way to understand our culture."

"Really? You... oh no, you're such a thoughtful person, God."

Seeing that Sanyue believed it easily again, Qiong spoke helplessly.

"March……"

Seeing Qiong looking at her like a fool, Sanyue's eyes widened immediately.

"Huh? Is he fooling me again?"

"What do you say?"

"Okay you!"

"Hush—keep your voice down. Why don't you believe me? I'm the god of this city and this country, after all. How can I fool you?"

Wendy was frustrated. He'd made such a compelling argument, why didn't he believe it? Wasn't Mondstadt famous for its wine? You said you wanted to learn about Mondstadt's culture, so why wouldn't I hold a wine party?

But unfortunately, compared to Wendy, March completely trusts Qiong as her partner.

After receiving Qiong's hint, March put one hand on her waist and reached out the other hand towards Wendy.

"If you want me to believe you, hand over the wine in your hand first!"

"No, I can't. This is the collector's edition dandelion wine I finally got from Grandpa Diluc. Normally, he only gives me apple wine at most. He won't let me drink high-end stuff like dandelion wine, especially his own collection of dandelion wine!"

"So, you... tricked your own followers into drinking?"

凷。

March Seven was speechless watching Wendy's actions. Although Qiong had said before that he was very weak and could not be compared with the star gods they knew, he was still a local god of this world, and all the residents of this city called Mond were his believers.

As the god of this city, he actually tricked his own followers into drinking alcohol. This is really... unheard of...

"Oh, I can't help it, because I have no money. I don't have a single Mora on me."

Wendy looked helpless.

"Mora?"

"It's the money used in our world. It's a currency created by the Rock God of neighboring Liyue. All the countries in our entire Teyvat continent use Mora."

"Aren't you a god? Why don't you have money?"

March 7th expressed confusion.

"It's clear that he spent all his money on drinking."

Qiong explained directly.

"Ah? How do you know?"

Wendy looked at Qiong in surprise, while Qiong remained calm.

"My intuition tells me that someone like you who would even bother to find excuses to get alcohol is definitely a huge alcoholic. Add to that the fact that you're deliberately hiding your identity, and it's safe to assume that without revealing your true identity and trying to get money, you've definitely spent all your money on alcohol."

"Qiong, your intuition surprisingly sounds reasonable this time!"

March Seven listened to Qiong's explanation and rarely praised Qiong's intuition. After giving Qiong a thumbs up, she looked at Wendy.

"so……"

"Hey~"

"Hey, what do you mean?"

March, why did you become so stupid?

Huh? Who's calling me?

Paimon, who was eating next to him, suddenly raised his head and looked left and right in confusion.

"Traveler, did you hear someone calling me just now?"

"No one is calling you, just continue eating."

"Oh……"

The white floating spirit continued to eat with its head down, and the yellow-haired girl continued to listen to the conversation between Qiong and the others. As a traveler who also came to this world from the outside world, she was full of curiosity about the people on the Starry Sky Train.

"So, what's the purpose of holding this cocktail party?"

March had already determined that Wendy was fooling her, so she naturally became suspicious of Wendy's real purpose in holding the cocktail party.

"It's not really like what Qiong said, just for the sake of being able to drink, right?"

"Well, that's indeed the reason."

Finding that she couldn't fool people, Wendy stopped trying to fool people and just admitted it directly.

"You really let them hold a cocktail party just so you can drink."

"It can't be helped. This is one of the few opportunities I get to drink, so I have to seize it!"

"Is it really okay for this city to have a god like you?"

March 7 couldn't help but complain.

"Of course, besides satisfying my desire to drink, there is another purpose."

Wendy's expression turned serious.

"You come from outside this world, so you don't know much about ours. Although I am the god of Mondstadt, I am not the only god in Teyvat. There are seven gods in Teyvat, each ruling over seven countries. The gods of these seven countries have different habits, personalities, and styles."

"Our Mondstadt is a city that yearns for freedom, so it's generally quite moderate. But other countries, some of them are not so moderate."

Not only is he not gentle, he is even a little shortsighted and cannot see the difference between us and the enemy.

"While it's perfectly fine for you to explore and learn about the entire Teyvat continent, considering your pet Krishna and some unexplainable factors on our Teyvat continent, I'd rather leave you in Mond to prevent any accidents. I'll do my best to meet any of your requests."

After Wendy finished speaking, she seemed to relax a lot and breathed a long sigh.

"Are you just going to reveal your cards?"

Qiong looked at Wendy in surprise. It was rare that this drunkard actually told the truth.

"Yeah, they said I was the most honest bard in all of Teyvat."

Wendy spread her hands helplessly.

He didn't want to either. It was fun to be a riddle, but unfortunately, he didn't dare to face this group of guys from outside the starry sky, especially the gray-haired guy in front of him. When the gray-haired guy held his shoulders on the Star-Picking Cliff, he felt an extremely terrifying force. The force was extremely violent and even more terrifying than the feeling of the abyss. It would have been fine if there was just a Doomsday Beast, but there was an even more terrifying guy above the Doomsday Beast.

How could he let such a terrifying creature out? For Teyvat, Wendy was worried sick.

"What if I really want to explore other places on the mainland?"

But Qiong didn't intend to let him go just like that. He crossed his arms and waited for Wendy's answer. He said, "We have already come to Teyvat. It would be meaningless if we don't look around. This would not be pioneering at all."

Wendy frowned and looked serious when she heard what Qiong said.

"If you insist on going out, then I can only..."

"Only?"

"I can only let you out!"

Wendy got angry and snapped.

Chapter 71 Provocation from the Lady.

There are seven countries on Teyvat, each ruled by seven gods. These seven gods are called the Seven Rulers of the Earth. They are gods and possess supreme power in this world. In theory, they should control everything in their own country.

But the actual situation is quite different from what we imagined.

But that is not the point. The point is that these seven countries have never fought against each other since their establishment. The seven gods have never fought against each other in accordance with a certain agreement. On the premise that no war occurs, the seven rulers are basically unable to leave their own territories and go to other countries. Even if other countries face certain disasters, it is basically the rulers of that country who deal with them, highlighting the fact that they have nothing to do with each other.

Therefore, if Qiong insists on leaving Mondstadt and visiting other countries, then Wendy can only wish other countries good luck.

However, it is a pity that although Wendy is willing to let Qiong go out, Qiong has no intention of going out, because their time is too short. This time falling into the continent of Teyvat is really an accident. He did not expect that he would not meet Yinzhi this time, but instead came to Teyvat first. But there are only two days, and Luofu is still waiting for them to go over and play, so this time coming here is equivalent to recording the coordinates first, and after Luofu's business is finished, come over and play slowly.

Especially now the time in Teyvat is the Wind Dragon Disaster, and the BOSS of the Wind Dragon Disaster has been solved by Krishna with two punches. It is still early before Uncle Yang’s suicide, so there is no need to rush at all.

Moreover, this experience was also good for the Starry Sky Train, because the train once again opened up a new world.

"Pam would have loved this world."

At the cocktail party, Lao Yang was holding a glass of Afternoon Time prepared by Diluk himself, and couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Wendy who was already standing on the newly built stage and starting to sing.

"Oh? Does Pam like drinking?"

Qiong sat next to Lao Yang and asked questions.

"I'm not talking about wine, I'm talking about pioneering."

Lao Yang put the wine on the table.

"The Starry Sky Train is different from ordinary vehicles. The energy that keeps it running is exploration. The Starry Sky Train will convert each exploration into energy to maintain its operation. Ideally, as long as the exploration journey never stops, the train will be able to obtain an endless supply of power, and continue to operate like a perpetual motion machine."

"To ensure energy availability, the Starry Sky Train strictly adheres to a schedule, stopping briefly at one location before immediately heading to the next."

“It feels so forced.”

Qiong naturally knew about this, but after hearing it from Lao Yang, he still felt that this kind of thing was full of compulsion.

Old Yang naturally understood what Qiong meant.

"This is the price of pioneering. Although it may not be considered a price for the pioneering star god Akivali, it is a real necessity for the Star Train."

In the Collapse Iron Universe, every star god is very powerful. They have created their own destiny and possessed boundless power. However, after creating their destiny, they have always been burdened with the price of walking on their destiny. Destiny will urge them to keep moving forward, and there is no way to stop, just like Clipper will keep building walls and Abundance will keep benefiting others. However, exploration cannot be stopped at all and must continue to be explored.

These costs have caused the Star Gods to gradually lose their humanity and become like the concepts they represent, constantly repeating the destiny like machines. They are the masters of destiny, but also its slaves.

The Star Train is very powerful. It has the protection of pioneering power, can crash through the Creperie Wall, and can lay silver tracks in the universe to connect countless worlds. But the price that must be paid to do these things is continuous exploration and continuous travel to other worlds. In short, it cannot be stopped at all, and once it stops, it will stop completely.

"Before this, the train actually had very little energy left. Although it could still support a few jumps, after the jump, it had to go to the new world to explore, otherwise the lack of energy would cause the train to shut down. Pam was already starting to get anxious about this."

“At this point in time.”

Old Yang looked at the Mond people who were cheering around him.

"Although it was an accident, we have arrived in a brand new world. I asked Dan Heng before coming down here, and there's no record of this in the think tank. This is a brand new world that even Akivelli has never reached. The train has laid brand new silver tracks in this world. This is a brand new development, which means that the train can obtain a large amount of new development as energy. In a short time, Pam will no longer have to worry about the train's energy problem."

"That's something that will make Pam happy. Maybe we can come here more often in the future!"

Qiong echoed from the side, and then watched Wendy singing and playing on the stage with Lao Yang. As for Sanyueqi and Ying, who had chatted with him before, they had already followed Wendy to the stage. Qiong had said that they would not leave Mond for the next two days, so Sanyue was naturally not in a hurry and simply stayed in Mond and followed Wendy around to check in and take pictures. As for Danheng, he was following the people of the Knights of Favonius and reading books in the library of the Knights. In his opinion, that place was more worth his visit.

Qiong and Lao Yang were chatting here in a relaxed manner. Not far away from them, Diluk was carefully recording the content of their conversation.

As Mondstadt's Dark Night Hero, although he is not a member of the Knights of Favonius, he has always secretly protected Mondstadt in his own way. Facing the powerful unknown warriors coming from outside the world, he naturally maintains the most basic vigilance.

Looking at the conversation between Qiong and Lao Yang that he had recorded, Diluk nodded slightly. The Star Train that shuttled directly between different worlds and connected different worlds, which could continue to operate as long as it was explored, and the pioneering star god Akivali, this was much richer than the brief self-introduction he had made before on the Star-Picking Cliff.

They are all people from outside the world. The yellow-haired guy seems to be quite different from these pioneers.

Suddenly, Ying's reputation took a turn for the worse.

Just as Qiong and Lao Yang were watching the stage performance peacefully, a group of people dressed completely differently from the Mond people appeared in the square.

A group of people wearing black uniforms and masks came up and pushed aside the crowd who were enjoying the cocktail party, forcing a path through them. The people who were pushed aside complained, but after being scolded, they immediately shut up. The entire square went from being lively to silent, and even Wendy on the stage stopped singing and playing.

Qiong and Lao Yang naturally also felt that the atmosphere was not right. They looked together in the direction of the only movement and saw a big, white woman walking towards them arrogantly.

The other person walked up to the two of them before stopping, with one hand on his waist.

"Are you the so-called pioneers from outside this world? You don't look very good."

Wendy, who witnessed all this, shook her head helplessly and said, "I told you, here comes the one with no foresight."

Chapter 72 Lady: I can do anything, please!

As the saying goes, what you fear will come to you.

Wendy just expressed her concerns not long ago, and someone jumped out.

The reason why Wendy wanted to leave Qiong and the others in Mond was that he was afraid that after they went out, other people would have conflicts with the Star Train, which would result in a major conflict. As someone who had come into contact with Qiong, he knew very well how terrifying Qiong was, and the doomsday beast named Krishna was also very terrifying. As a follower of the wind god, Tevarin could not cause any trouble in front of the other party. The gap was indeed quite large.
