Chapter 20
Venti:......
Instantly, Venti's expression changed from excitement to a pouty, cat-like face.
Although he is allergic to cats.
So Venti said helplessly and pitifully.
"Mr. Bartender, you misunderstood; I have long been an adult and can drink."
"No, why do you minors all like this routine? But this can't fool me!"
No matter how Venti explained, the bartender still refused him.
He seemed very conscientious; he could not let alcohol harm these young teenagers in Mondstadt today!
Thinking this way, he felt his image had even grown a bit taller.
Sigh, he really is a good person who worries about teenagers.
Only Venti sighed, "Really, when I came to Mondstadt last time, there was no such rule."
"Why is it like this now."
He was also very troubled.
Who could have thought that he, a Wind Archon who has lived for thousands of years, would now be considered too young by his own citizens, unable to even buy wine.
It's outrageous.
How could it be like this, sigh.
But just at this moment, a crisp and elegant voice came from the side.
"Mr. Bartender, give this bard two bottles of the best wine in the shop; he is indeed an adult. I can guarantee it."
The bartender was also startled.
However, upon seeing the person who arrived, he nodded respectfully.
He turned around, took two bottles of wine from the cabinet behind him, and placed them in front of Venti.
It seems the person who spoke has an extraordinary status.
This made Venti very surprised, and he looked at Ye Ruo, who had suddenly appeared here with a smile.
In fact, Ye Ruo had arrived at this tavern long ago.
As a vast city, Mondstadt naturally has more than just "Angel's Share" and "Cat's Tail Tavern"; some smaller taverns naturally exist too.
Otherwise, wouldn't residents living further away have to cross half the city to drink?
Besides, if there were too few taverns, wouldn't those bards have to compete to the death?
Just to compete for a singing spot.
This point, in the city of Mondstadt, is not necessary.
And when he came, Ye Ruo sat in a slightly secluded spot, so not many people noticed him.
Plus, everyone here was a drunkard, all tipsy.
Where would they notice that the Wind Knight was actually on the edge of the tavern corner?
So, Ye Ruo also saw the farce just now.
Not to mention, it was quite funny.
It could be used as material later to be written into the next new work.
And Venti was also very curious about Ye Ruo.
"Many thanks to this young man, may I ask who you are?"
"Thanks to you this time, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to buy wine; it would have been too miserable."
When he saw the fine wine right in front of him, Venti's eyes squinted with happiness, holding the wine bottle and unable to put it down, looking every bit like a drunkard.
It left the bartender a bit speechless.
Forget it, since this person says the bard is an adult, then he is an adult.
And regarding Venti's curiosity, Ye Ruo just shook his head slightly, looking as if it were nothing worth mentioning.
"Me? Just a passing ordinary person. Please don't mind."
Venti:?
You are an ordinary person my foot.
Clearly, this bartender is very respectful to you; this point alone shows that you are definitely not an ordinary citizen.
Speaking so modestly.
Of course, this doesn't matter.
Anyway, Venti has a good memory, and the wind will tell him everything he wants to know; by then, he will be able to keep the names and appearances of everyone in Mondstadt in his heart again.
Every time he sleeps and wakes up to return to Mondstadt, Venti remembers them once like this.
No choice.
After all, as human development goes on for decades or hundreds of years, many familiar faces disappear, replaced by entirely new ones.
Compared to the long life of a god, humans seem too short-lived.
And after saying this, Ye Ruo nodded towards them.
"Alright, you guys chat slowly; I'll be going first."
In the eyes of the bartender and Venti, it was as if Ye Ruo just happened to see this scene, came over to say a word, and then left very politely.
In fact, this time Ye Ruo really just came to show his face and get familiar.
Anyway, since Venti has appeared in Mondstadt, he will be here from now on, and there will be more opportunities to meet in the future.
No need to rush.
Not to mention Venti is too easily attracted by fine wine.
Ye Ruo thought of the batch of fine Dandelion Wine that Diluc gave him; that is simply a Venti trap.
For this Wind Archon, it is very easy to get along.
Of course, the appearance of Barbatos means that the Stormterror incident might not be far off.
However, the Grand Master left with peace of mind, there are no major issues, plus he remembers that Venti seems to have stayed in Mondstadt for a few months.
So actually, there is still some time before the Stormterror incident.
Thus, Ye Ruo continued to do his own things.
And Venti looked at Ye Ruo's departing figure, lost in thought.
He noticed the Anemo Vision at the person's waist, as well as the voices of the people around, so he already had the answer in his heart.
Moreover, Venti was very surprised.
The Wind power on the other person is so astonishing.
It seems it is not just because of the Anemo Vision; there should be something very special about the body as well!
Truly a very interesting person.
So Venti spoke to the bartender, "This person is the Wind Knight, right? Just like the rumors say, his personality is very gentle and humble, and he is very friendly to others."
The bartender also agreed and sighed.
"Yes, for everyone, after the Grand Master and the others left, as long as we see Acting Grand Master Jean and the Wind Knight, our hearts are full of reliability and a sense of security."
"Mondstadt remains the city of freedom and beauty."
However, the bartender who came back to his senses still had a look of slight suspicion.
"I naturally trust the Wind Knight, but you, looking like this, it's best not to drink too much; just these two bottles."
"There won't be any more after this."
Venti: You!!!. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
