Chapter 22

Venti, kneeling on the ground and extremely weak, retorted: "That probably means your taste is really bad, right?"

While speaking, La Signora had already arrived beside Venti, raised her long leg, and kicked him directly. Venti was kicked away and fainted.

Seeing this, Lumine struggled hard, but the two Debt Collectors behind her pinned her down tightly, making it difficult for her to move.

La Signora glanced at Lumine and said: "Forget it, the Gnosis is already in hand. Before the Knights of Favonius arrive, don't leave any evidence behind."

Hearing this, the Debt Collectors knocked Lumine unconscious.

【Yoimiya】: Wow, this woman is really arrogant, but what is a Gnosis?

【Kamisato Ayaka】: Maybe it's an external magical organ like a Vision?

【Kamisato Ayato】: In that case, the Gnosis must be quite important.

【Dvalin】: @【La Signora】 Where are you?

【La Signora】: None of your business.

【Lumine】: @【La Signora】 Your crimes are now known to all of Teyvat. You had better not let me know where you are!

【La Signora】: Heh, do you think you're worthy of saying such things?

【His Royal Highness】: Have you never died before?

【La Signora】: None of your business!

【His Royal Highness】:...

Abyss Order.

Aether's face was ferocious.

"La Signora? I've remembered you!"

Daring to mock his sister like this, if he gets the chance, he'll definitely kill her!

【Jean】: @【La Signora】 Please return Mr. Venti's Gnosis immediately! This is no longer a simple diplomatic incident. We formally warn you that this is a provocation against Mondstadt!

【La Signora】: Oh, I'm no longer in Mondstadt territory. What can you do to me?

【Tartaglia】: La Signora, you are truly brave! (Admiring)

Liyue, Northland Bank.

Looking at the information in the group, Tartaglia, who calls himself a madman, had to give La Signora a thumbs up.

Not to mention anything else, just for this move alone, he, Tartaglia, bows down!

【Dvalin】: @【La Signora】 You won't have a good ending next time you come to Mondstadt!

【Venti】: Exactly, exactly! (Funny)

【Zhongli】: @【Venti】 May I ask why Mr. Venti can still laugh? (Confused)

【Neuvillette】: As far as the video is concerned, Mr. Venti's strength seems a bit off. Logically speaking, fulfilling one's divine duty should accumulate divine power. But before this, Mr. Venti was an Archon, so his strength shouldn't be this weak. It shouldn't be up to a Harbinger to suppress him, let alone this Harbinger who is only the Eighth Seat.

【Shikanoin Heizou】: So, the video is obviously fake?

【Venti】: Hey hey hey, I wasn't born an Archon! I was just a weak Anemo Sprite at the beginning, not comparable to Morax and Baal!

【Zhongli】: Everyone, I once accidentally obtained an ancient text. The text records that Barbatos was indeed an Anemo Sprite at the beginning, but after gaining the faith of the Gunnhildr clan, he gradually ascended to become an Archon! Please note, he had already ascended to become an Archon. And the text records that Barbatos once reshaped the terrain of Mondstadt, turning a cold and bitter land into the spring-like appearance it has today. This is not just fulfilling a divine duty, but making an outstanding contribution. Therefore, Barbatos's power must be very strong!

【Shikanoin Heizou】: So, he's throwing the fight?!

【La Signora】:?

【Venti】: Hey hey hey! The power I accumulated was used to reshape the terrain of Mondstadt, which is why I fell into a deep sleep!

【Zhongli】: Everyone, when you meet people from Mondstadt, do they often say "May the Anemo Archon protect you"?

【Jean】: That's right!

【Amber】: That's true!

【Zhongli】: @【Venti】 How do you explain this now?

【Shikanoin Heizou】: Everyone, the super detective is here to organize this for you.

【Shikanoin Heizou】: First, although Mr. Venti was an Anemo Sprite at the beginning, he ascended to become an Archon and his power is strong. According to Mr. Venti, his power was used to reshape Mondstadt's terrain, so he fell into a sleep after consuming his power, but his actions were fulfilling his divine duty. Going back and forth, he must have recovered.

【Shikanoin Heizou】: Second, as everyone knows, the people of Mondstadt's faith in freedom and their reverence for the Anemo Archon mean that the Anemo Archon's power is definitely not as weak as he claims!

【Shikanoin Heizou】: Therefore, case closed: Mr. Venti is the best actor in the mortal world!

【Kaeya】: Detective!

【Furina】: Detective! That makes so much sense!

【La Signora】:...

【Venti】:...

【La Signora】: Heh, no matter what, the Gnosis is already in hand. What does the rest have to do with me?

【Lumine】: Heh, you're just bullying him because the past-life Gu Chen isn't around. Otherwise, I'd beat you to death!

【La Signora】: Heh, the past-life Gu Chen wasn't around, but is the present-life Gu Chen around now?

【Lumine】: I'm so angry!!

【Paimon】: Lumine, don't be angry anymore. Since the bard threw the fight himself, there must be a deeper meaning, right?

【Jean】: @【Venti】 Lord Venti, is there really a deeper meaning?

【Barbara】: Sob sob sob, Lord Anemo Archon, please say something, why aren't you speaking?!

【Venti】: Ehe!

【Kaeya】: I understand, there must be some plan between the deities, right?

【Shikanoin Heizou】: My guess is similar to Mr. Kaeya's.

【Sangonomiya Kokomi】: Hiding one's strength, letting someone take the Gnosis, and even getting slapped and kicked for it—it's hard not to suspect that this was intentional, a way to give away the Gnosis?

【Kaeya】: To give away the Gnosis, he even took a big slap and a kick. He really... I'm crying!

No, are the group members this smart now?!

Not easy to fool!

Venti scratched his hair in frustration.

Seeing Gu Chen gloating on the side, Venti's eyes rolled.

He immediately thought of shifting the fire.

【Venti】: Everyone look, who I found! @【Gu Chen】

Gu Chen's smile stiffened.

Damn it!

He was just lurking and watching the fun, and this old guy is pulling him out to attract fire, right?!
