Chapter 98: Barbatos, who sells his skills to pay off debts (Please subscribe!)

"Sure."

Jiang Yan had no objections.

After all, as the founder of the City of Mondstadt, Barbatos saying he was familiar with the City of Mondstadt was not a lie at all.

"Then let's go!"

Barbatos played the Song of the High Heavens again and flew with Jiang Yan toward the City of Mondstadt.

City of Mondstadt

At this time, the City of Mondstadt was not yet as extravagant and corrupt as it was in the late period of aristocratic rule.

At this moment, the people’s faces were filled with happy smiles.

This was the early period of Mondstadt’s rule by the three great aristocratic families: the Ragnvindr, the Gunnhildr, and the Lawrence, who governed Mondstadt together.

But above them, there was still a leader, the person in charge for Barbatos, Venti.

He would supervise the operation of the entire country. Although Barbatos had returned power to the people, Venti’s existence was like eyes planted by Barbatos in Mondstadt, and the three great aristocratic families dared not be negligent.

This was just what the aristocrats thought.

With Barbatos’s laid-back nature, he was in Mondstadt; could he not know whether the lives of the people of Mondstadt were good or not?

Did he need Venti to supervise there?

It was just that Venti was worried that Mondstadt had just been established and feared that these people wouldn't be able to manage Mondstadt well, so he chose to stay there to govern.

On the way, Barbatos talked to Jiang Yan about Venti.

After Venti completely handed over the political power to the aristocrats in two years, he planned to take Venti traveling.

A person’s life is only a hundred years; Barbatos naturally knew that Venti would eventually grow old.

Even Jiang Yan couldn't change this point.

After all, the power of the Dog Talisman could only work on himself, unless the Dog Talisman was stripped from him.

And Jiang Yan could only pray that the exquisite chests he encountered later would yield something that could grant people eternal life.

Otherwise, the people around him would grow old sooner or later.

So Barbatos planned to take Venti to travel all over the Teyvat continent and see the scenery of Teyvat!

Although life is short, one must live it brilliantly!

Listening to Barbatos’s words, Jiang Yan also smiled.

Yes, life is short, it’s enough to live it brilliantly.

Being happy is the most important thing.

Chatting as they went, the two flew directly into the City of Mondstadt.

Mondstadt had just been established, and the Mondstadt knight army still had combat power.

Jiang Yan could even see that the soldiers stationed at the city gate had killing intent in their eyes.

One look and you could tell they were the kind who had experienced slaughter.

When he saw the training of the Mondstadt knights not far away, Jiang Yan’s face suddenly darkened, and he turned his head to look at Barbatos.

"Hey! When did you steal the training methods for soldiers from Liyue?"

That’s right, Jiang Yan saw that the method of training knights in the City of Mondstadt was roughly the same as that of the Millelith of Liyue.

It couldn't be said to be roughly the same; the training volume of the Millelith was much larger than that of the Mondstadt knights.

Hearing Jiang Yan’s questioning, Barbatos guiltily turned his head to the side.

"Hehe! What are you talking about? How could I have stolen your Millelith training methods?"

Facing Barbatos’s sophistry, Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes.

This old guy, he did something bad and still won't admit it, right?

"Cough... cough... oh my, it’s getting late! In any case, let’s go taste the specialty food of Mondstadt first."

Seeing Jiang Yan’s expression getting worse and worse, Barbatos hurriedly started to change the subject.

After all, stealing things like this is never something to be proud of.

"Your treat!"

Jiang Yan said lightly.

He wasn't particularly angry.

In fact, if Barbatos wanted to learn, he could have taught him directly.

After all, the strength of the Millelith is not just about training.

Another point is that Jiang Yan gave them countless cultivation techniques and secret manuals to practice.

Plus the addition of military strategy, military books, and military formations.

As long as the Millelith of Liyue don't encounter monsters at the Archon level, they basically have combat power.

What? You say what if they definitely encounter Archon-level monsters?

Then are Jiang Yan, Morax, Marchosius, Azhdaha, and the Adepti just for show?

Besides, even if they aren't there, the Archon-killing bombs that Jiang Yan made aren't for show either.

A while ago, Guizhong wrote to him, stating that the flying ships had already begun construction.

Just waiting for Jiang Yan to return to handle the selection of the air force.

The military power of Liyue will only become more and more formidable.

And after hearing Jiang Yan’s words, Barbatos also understood that Jiang Yan wasn't angry about this matter, and nodded with a smile.

"Of course, how could I let you pay when you come to Mondstadt."

"That’s what you said."

The corners of Jiang Yan’s mouth curled up slightly.

Barbatos suddenly had a bad premonition.

Arriving at the restaurant, Jiang Yan sat on a stool, his fingers tapping on the table continuously.

"Boss!"

Suddenly, Jiang Yan said to the busy boss.

"Hey! Coming, have you chosen your meal, guest?"

Jiang Yan nodded.

"This, this, and this."

Barbatos saw the dishes Jiang Yan ordered and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, it wasn't what he thought, trying to fleece me.

According to this price, the little money he had in his hand could still afford it.

Is Jiang Yan that kind of person?

He saw Jiang Yan say to the boss:

"Forget what I just ordered, bring one of everything else!"

Barbatos’s face turned green instantly.

"That... Jiang Yan..."

"One shouldn't waste food..."

Barbatos spoke weakly.

"Don't worry, I have a big appetite!"

Jiang Yan looked at him with a smile, clearly intending to fleece him.

Barbatos looked at the boss with tears in his eyes.

"Boss, do you still need a resident bard here?"

The dignified Anemo Archon, reduced to the point of selling his skills to pay off debts.

Now, it was the boss’s turn, who thought a big order had come, to have his smile gradually disappear.

No money?

If you don't have money, why did you order so many expensive things?!

Just as the boss wanted to speak, a young voice sounded from behind the boss.

"I’ll pay for their meal."

"Go ahead, boss."

As he spoke, a bag containing Mora was handed to the boss.

Because Mondstadt is a neighboring country of Liyue, Barbatos, who owed Jiang Yan a favor, faced Jiang Yan’s request to make Mora the mainstream currency of Mondstadt.

He did not refuse.

Instead, he readily agreed.

This led to Mondstadt using Mora comprehensively when it was first established.

Jiang Yan and Barbatos followed the sound and saw a youth who looked eighty percent like Barbatos looking at them with a smile.

"Venti!"

Barbatos shouted in surprise.
