Chapter 60: Mondstadt five hundred years later

The process of leaving the Sea of Ash was quieter than imagined.

Hans wanted to strike up a conversation with the mysterious and powerful couple whispering at the stern of the boat several times, but couldn't muster the courage each time.

Although both of them restrained their temperament, that extraordinary nobility emanating from their bones could not be hidden no matter what.

"What should we do next?" Gazing into Luo Li's eyes, Raiden Makoto asked softly: "Return to Inazuma or what?"

Hearing her mention Inazuma, Luo Li recalled that five hundred years had passed. Those people he knew back then might have long since returned to dust.

Thinking this way, his originally high mood was somewhat affected.

"Forget it, let's not go back for now. So many years have passed, it doesn't matter if we wait a little longer."

Rather than going back now and causing sadness in vain, it would be better to wait until he was prepared and go back to give Ei a surprise.

Luo Li was still thinking about how to persuade Makoto, but who would have thought she didn't object and agreed right away.

He certainly didn't know that Makoto actually hadn't figured out how to tell Ei about snatching her man.

Let's wait for a suitable opportunity in the future to expose this matter.

Besides, she believed that with Ei leading Inazuma, it would definitely not...

As for now, it's better to do as she said before, pretending to be a couple traveling the continent and exploring secret realms.

After becoming the Electro Archon, she had always been trapped in the land of Inazuma. Now that she had finally gained freedom, she also wanted to see the customs and traditions of other countries.

With this, the two reached a consensus.

Stanley didn't know what the two had communicated, and shouted loudly: "You two, we are about to reach the wilderness of the Sea of Ash and return to Mondstadt along the opened adventure road."

This notification aroused a lot of interest in Makoto.

"Mondstadt, I haven't been there yet."

With a little expectation and nostalgia for the land of other countries, the two followed the two adventurers for a full ten days before stepping onto the land of Mondstadt.

…………

City of Mondstadt!

After nearly five hundred years, stepping onto familiar ground again, Luo Li was in a different state of mind.

"After so many years, Mondstadt still hasn't changed."

The wide city walls had weathered the frost, and on them were the marks of glory branded by the ancestors who opened up the territory.

Because Stanley and Hans had to go to the Adventurers' Guild to report the mission, they had to part ways with Luo Li and his partner.

Before parting, Stanley expressed again that he would solemnly thank them properly in the future.

Raiden Makoto looked curiously at the strange city, which had characteristics completely different from Inazuma and Liyue.

There were many merchants coming and going, noisy shops were shouting to sell, and the smell of fine wine was faintly floating in the air.

"Is this Mondstadt?" ===== CHAPTER 104 =====

Because she was once the noble Shogun, even every time she went on an inspection tour, the people would cast respectful gazes, making it impossible for Raiden Makoto to keep a low profile.

Now that she could finally experience the state of mind and life of an ordinary person, it was very interesting to her and was a very precious experience.

Here, no one knew her, and even the gazes cast were all because of her overly extraordinary beauty, marveling at such a well-matched couple.

"What are we going to do next?" Raiden Makoto was eager to try, excited for the life of the two that was about to unfold.

Luo Li pondered for a moment and said: "Since we want to live like ordinary people, the first and most important thing is Mora. Do you have any?"

As for whether this behavior would be despised by others as a kept man, he didn't care at all.

"Mora?"

Raiden Makoto tilted her head, and the wisteria flower on her hair accessory swayed slightly. The lethality of a mature woman making such a movement was truly astonishing.

Luo Li felt that something was wrong: "Don't tell me you don't have any Mora either?!"

"Of course, I didn't need it in the past."

"..."

Good guy, it turns out it's not that the three gods couldn't scrape together a single Mora, you have to be added to the list too.

Even Luo Li felt that all the Seven Archons were like this, having no concept of money at all.

Thus, the dignified two noble ladies who ruled Inazuma were now actually considering where to get some Mora.

Raiden Makoto not only didn't feel it was troublesome, but felt novel and a little excited about encountering such a small matter for the first time. This gave her a sense of reality of truly living in the world.

Originally Luo Li wanted to cheat, but was stopped by Makoto.

Her philosophy was to follow the rules of the game in everything. Since they wanted to integrate into and experience the life of mortals, they naturally had to follow the rules of mortals.

Helpless, thanks to this, Luo Li had to dispel the idea of "borrowing some" from a rich man.

He didn't care. Three thousand years ago, when he first descended to the Teyvat continent, he, who didn't possess any power, had truly experienced the life of an ordinary person who was truly precarious.

If it weren't for knowing how to keep a low profile to survive, plus the fact that humans huddled together for warmth at that time and had the protection of the God of Storms, he probably wouldn't have lived until now.

With this experience, Luo Li was not as ignorant as Makoto.

"I didn't expect that after three thousand years, I would have to start all over again."

Sighing for his own encounter, but seeing the shining light in Makoto's eyes, he couldn't say anything to refuse.

"Forget it, follow your meaning, do whatever you want."

As for Mora, just catch a few monsters and go to the Adventurers' Guild to make up the numbers.

Coincidentally, with the reputation of the great adventurer Stanley, he could be accepted easily.

Getting an affirmative answer, Raiden Makoto immediately started planning. As an administrative Archon who was not good at martial arts, she only needed a very short time to make a plan.

...... ...... 0

But after thinking for a long time, she suddenly realized a problem: she actually didn't have the ability to make money quickly at all.

This result hit her hard.

Seeing the gentle mature woman's slightly furrowed brows, Luo Li smiled and said: "You claim to be my wife, so naturally, I have to support you."

Pausing, he said with undisguised ambition: "But the responsibilities you should fulfill must also keep up."

The duties of a wife—Raiden Makoto could see through his thoughts without thinking.

This guy had been lingering in Inazuma for hundreds of years, his purpose was self-evident; he was just short of saying it out loud.

After these five hundred years, Raiden Makoto had long since taken many things lightly, and only looked at this naked invitation with a smile in her eyes.

"Let me think, if you can make me happy in the next few days, it's not impossible to consider."

Although she was willing in her heart, she also had to be tsundere in her mouth, otherwise wouldn't it seem not very reserved.

Once these words were out, let alone making her happy, even if she wanted to pluck stars and take the moon, Luo Li would try his best to do it.

After all, the long-cherished wish he had coveted for nearly a thousand years could be obtained, and the object was the noble dignity of a god.

This extraordinary absolute satisfaction was something only he could experience in the world.

"But speaking of this story, can it be called a life in Mondstadt starting from zero?"

PS: The five hundred years ago to now has been completely finished. Next, it should be the foreshadowing and plot arrangement for the main storyline. Five. ===== CHAPTER 105 =====
