At this moment, Ares saw the newcomer wave his hand without hesitation. Was Amber someone he could afford to offend?
Although his own strength is quite ordinary, this guy has a very wide network of connections.
Right now, I don't want to clash with the Mondstadt officials.
Hmm? A scout knight? Is he responsible for maintaining order?
Upon hearing this, Huo Rong was slightly taken aback, while Ares and Brainiac had already disappeared with their group of treasure hunters.
"Hello, my name is Amber. Um... unfamiliar face, are you a traveler from afar?"
Amber greeted the man in front of her cheerfully, while Huo Rong suppressed his inner turmoil as he looked at Amber.
He couldn't show too many weaknesses in front of someone whose position was probably similar to that of a police officer, but this guy...
The fact that Amber could cause the all-powerful bandit to immediately retreat suggests that her power far surpasses that of the all-powerful.
Although mastering the invisible spectrum has allowed me to surpass the past at the level of the multiverse, I have not yet reached the next stage.
If the being before him wanted to make a move, he would have no chance of resisting.
"I am Dark Zagi, and I'm here for tourism."
Instead of revealing his real name, Huo Rong used the name of an entity he had encountered in other worlds.
Silence was Amber's only state at that moment.
Dark Zagi?
Amber was slightly taken aback, then a look of sudden realization flashed in her eyes.
The person before us is similar to Fischl!
Well, speaking of which, Fischl's portrayal of the condemned princess seems to be genuine; we can't treat Fischl as just someone with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).
"So it's Mr. Dark Zagi. May the wind god protect your journey. If you're just a traveler, feel free to ask me anything you don't understand."
Amber wasn't too bothered by it; the man being bullied by the heist gang didn't seem to be very strong in a fight.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Amber. May I ask which direction the city is in?"
As he prepared to escape Amber's clutches, he casually asked, "As for the direction?" With the locator given to him by the messenger, how could he not know which way to go?
Unfortunately, Huo Rong overestimated the girl's enthusiasm, and some time later, in Mondstadt...
The calamity, having just parted ways with Amber, was now somewhat troubled. He hadn't expected that the guy would say that encountering monsters or treasure-hunting groups was too dangerous, and had actually escorted him back to Mondstadt.
Fortunately, the person he was looking for, named Wendy, didn't seem to be too far away; he seemed to be in Mondstadt.
The surrounding noise continued to rise, and Huo Rong, who looked like an ordinary person, dared not underestimate him at all. The same ordinary mountain bandit had instantly transformed into an all-powerful one. In this day and age, who goes out without suppressing their aura?
Following the beacon, Huo Rong soon arrived at his destination.
A tavern?
As he spoke, Huo Rong entered the Angel's Gift, where a young man in a blue robe raising a wine cup caught Huo Rong's attention.
That's right, this person is his target, the one he wants to bribe.
Quickly approaching Wendy, Huo Rong subtly revealed a trace of his aura, hoping the being before him would understand that he was not someone to be trifled with, and that provoke Wendy was truly audacious.
Clearly, in Huo Rong's understanding, this world was indeed quite easy to mess with.
At this moment, Venti sensed the presence of the Calamity and his expression became somewhat serious. He was naturally aware that a bunch of... well, rather outrageous beings had appeared in Mondstadt.
Before he could even gather all the information he needed, it seemed that someone from that group had already come looking for him.
"What business do you have with me, the finest bard in the world?"
Looking at the figure in front of her, Wendy pretended to be nonchalant and said.
Upon hearing this, Huo Rong's thoughts were quite simple: This messenger's idea of bribing someone was too arrogant, wasn't it?
The greatest bard in the world? How dare this guy be so arrogant?
Wait, is this also the reason why the messenger chose to bribe him?
Wendy's skill as a bard should not be underestimated.
Seeing the green-haired youth in front of him, Huo Rong made such a judgment, and this time his idea was not wrong.
"I think we can find a quiet place to talk."
Looking at the figure in front of him, Huo Rong whispered.
This is bad. Is it a threat?
Upon hearing this, Wendy forced herself to remain calm. Now that things had come to this, she could only find a place to talk to this guy.
“Great, the second floor of Angel's Gift is a nice place.”
Pointing to the second floor, Wendy went up first.
As Huo Rong followed closely behind, Diluc, who happened to be in the tavern, noticed the situation and instinctively followed as well.
On the second floor, Huo Rong noticed Diluc's actions but chose not to stop him. Since Lord Wendy didn't stop him, it was assumed that the red-haired guy's eavesdropping had been tacitly approved.
Having chosen a concealed angle, Diluc decided to observe the situation, setting aside the fact that he would not allow outsiders to threaten the tavern's patrons.
Of course, this is on the premise that the guest is not the one who did something wrong.
The mere fact that Wendy is truly herself is enough to make me take everything related to her seriously.
"So, what exactly do you want to say to me, sir who seems to be of very old age?"
Looking at the figure in front of her, Wendy slowly began to speak.
As one of the thousand winds, he could sense the age of the person opposite him... perhaps much older than he had imagined.
I'm so ashamed.
Upon hearing this, three words subconsciously came to Huo Rong's mind: if asked what he was most insecure about.
That is a realm that has existed for billions of years, but whose strength is only at the junior high school level.
"The messenger asked me to bring you a message."
Looking at the figure before him, Huo Rong seemed to have triggered something strange, Su Nu Wan Ye Xiao.
messenger?
Who is it?
Upon hearing this address, Wendy felt somewhat bewildered.
Could it be the nickname of some being beyond my comprehension?
Honkai Impact 3rd: Chapter 1579: Diluc: Is the politics of Sky Isle really this dark?!
"What?"
His expression gradually became serious. Could it be that the messenger had sent someone to find him in such a mysterious way because he had some kind of scheme against Mondstadt?
The next moment, Huo Rong unhesitatingly placed the box he was carrying on the table and opened it.
Mora, radiating golden light, appeared before Venti, and Diluc, who was observing from the shadows, also witnessed this scene.
"This is what the messenger asked me to deliver, um... my salary."
Looking at Wendy, Huo Rong recalled what the messenger had told him and began to speak.
salary?
With so much Mora, you can't get it through ordinary work. Could it be that Fengshen secretly controls the economic lifeline of some industry?
Diluc, who was observing from the shadows, was slightly taken aback, while Wendy, looking at the dazzling Mora, subconsciously opened his mouth wide.
How much wine can this be exchanged for?
Wait, why did that guy called the Messenger give me so much Mora?
"I dare not spend a single Mora of this. What does that messenger want from you to give me all of this?"
Looking at the calamity before her, Wendy calmed down and asked.
what?
How do I explain this?
Upon hearing this, Huo Rong was stunned. He knew the money was meant to bribe Wendy, but... there was no mention of any demands.
Taking a deep breath, Huo Rong's mind raced.
"Actually, the messenger was too eager to advance his career."
After a moment's thought, Huo Rong chose to say this.
what?
Diluc, who was secretly observing, was slightly taken aback. Good, what a corrupt scene.
Oh wait, I know Venti's true identity. This unreliable bard is none other than Barbatos, the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt.
So... could the being before us be someone related to Sky Island, or even a god?
No problem, no problem, but who is the messenger?
Looking at the figure in front of her, Wendy felt a little conflicted, wondering if this person had mistaken her for someone else.
However, Mondstadt has other Wendy's... well, there really are.
There are cases of people sharing the same name, but the other Wendys are just ordinary people.
"Who was the messenger you mentioned...?"
At this moment, Wendy looked at the figure in front of her and asked the most crucial question.
"He is a subordinate of the maintainer."
Looking at Wendy, the Calamity no longer concealed the messenger's part-time job on this continent.
Subordinates of the maintainer?
maintainer
Upon hearing this, Wendy recalled the Sky Ruler who helped the Sustainer's subordinates improve. She realized she should go and say a few good words to Asmodeus.
The problem is, where do I even begin to find Asmodeus?
Oh, oh.
Meanwhile, Diluc, who had been observing from the shadows, nodded; everything was already obvious.
It turned out that someone connected to Venti's identity as the Anemo Archon had come to bribe him, but this...
Corruption, it's utterly corrupt.
I couldn't help but shake my head; the political environment for the gods was far from ideal.
Bribery has even reached the Wind God; Mondstadt must be more transparent than the bureaucracy of the gods in the heavens.
Diluc felt he had heard too much, while Venti instinctively waved his hand.
"No, I can't accept it. I don't intend to take money of dubious origin, or rather, money that isn't being used properly."
Hearing this, Huo Rong had some idea of what Wendy's reaction would be like, and looking at the figure in front of him, he continued to speak:
"Ahem, Mr. Wendy, you may have misunderstood something. This is not money the messenger asked me to give you, it's your salary from above."
I was only sent by the messenger to deliver this to you, so you wouldn't have to make an extra trip.
Now that the items have been delivered, I'll be leaving now.
The person in front of you must know how much he earns, and naturally understand what your unspoken message is.
It's unclear whether Wendy will lend a hand in helping her collaborator improve.
what?
Do I still get a salary?
Wendy was completely stunned; she had no idea she even had the concept of a salary.
Sky Island just threw some matching items at me; there was nothing else I could do.
I was even thinking of giving away the Heart of God, the accompanying tool, as an actor someday.
Upon hearing this, Diluc was slightly taken aback. Had he misunderstood? Was the officialdom of the gods actually a little better than he had imagined?
