Chapter 104 Bartada's Journey to Mondstadt

This is Bartada's first time in Mondstadt.

Looking at the neatly organized streets in the city and the leisurely-looking residents of Mondstadt on the streets, Barta, who was dressed in casual clothes, couldn't help but sigh.

It feels completely different from Qingquan Town...

Mondstadt is the capital of the free country, and the main theme of life here is leisure and freedom.

The residents were chatting and laughing, and the patrolling Knights of Favonius were also talking enthusiastically to passers-by.

Everywhere there were melodies played by bards and their moving poems. The wind blew gently, making the windmill chrysanthemums planted on the windows of the residents swirl slowly.

Occasionally, some residents can be seen entering the church affiliated with the West Wind Church.

When Batta passed by, he could hear the nuns' chanting and the monks' fanatical and pious praises:

"Praise Lord Barbatos!"

The pure praise symbolizing faith was so loud that the residents of Mondstadt who were passing by stopped and couldn't help but praise loudly along with the monks in the church when they heard it.

It can be seen that the pace of life of the people in Mondstadt is very slow, as leisurely as the breeze.

Although Qingquan Town is also very prosperous, the people living in the towns under its jurisdiction mainly make a living by hunting. Qingquan Town has been affected a little by this. It is not as peaceful as Mondstadt, but rather a bit wild.

As for Jingfu Port... Barta has never been there, but he knows that Jingfu Port is the main city for Mond's foreign trade, so it should be full of commercial atmosphere, right?

As he guessed, he let out a sigh and glanced at the purple spherical gem on his waist, which was surrounded by gold carved into the shape of wings and seemed to contain the emblem of the element of lightning.

That is the God's Eye of Thunder Element.

This is also the reason why Barta came to Mondstadt this time.

It was found in Batta's pocket when Batta returned home after he and Leah paid tribute to Firna.

At first, he thought it was someone's prank.

But when he picked it up, he suddenly realized the invisible connection between himself and this Eye of God.

Then he was surprised to find that he could use it to vaguely communicate with the surrounding lightning element.

That's when he realized this was no prank.

This is "the gaze of God".

Although Barta was somewhat happy at the time, he did not feel it strongly enough to show it.

In his opinion, even if he got the attention of the gods, he couldn't get his wife Firna back.

While fiddling with the Eye of God, he discovered that if it was not affected by external forces, the Eye of God would stick to his body according to his will and would not fall off.

It was a very unique feeling, as if the Eye of God was a part of my body and I could control it as I wished, just like controlling my fingers.

It just doesn't grow on my body.

No wonder some people always said that "the Eye of God is an external magic organ".

And his daughter Leah also knew that her father had received the so-called "attention from God."

Although she didn't understand, she knew it was very powerful, so she advertised it everywhere in Viladu Village and showed off to everyone she met.

So the following conversation took place:

"Liya, do you want to play hide and seek together?"

"What? How do you know my father is being watched by the gods?"

"..."

Thanks to Tolia, the children who didn't know what "God's gaze" was went home and asked their parents.

When her parents asked curiously, they told them truthfully that it was Leah’s father who was “watched by God”.

As a result, the news that Batta had obtained the Eye of God quickly spread throughout the village of Virado.

The Knights of Favonius, who were rebuilding their organization in the village of Veradu, also heard about this. Out of consideration for their colleagues, they reported it directly to the Knights of Clear Spring.

The Knights of Favonius who obtain the Eye of God will have the opportunity to learn the course of controlling elemental power for free, which can be considered a benefit.

After all, ordinary people who obtain the Eye of God do not know how to naturally control the elemental forces without learning.

If you want to study, you may not be able to understand what you read by yourself, so you need to find someone to teach you, and finding someone costs Mora.

Spending Mora is one thing, but being able to teach well is another.

Therefore, the Knights Templar have a special department dedicated to teaching the Eye of God to carry out elemental learning and education, and it is free of charge, which is a great benefit for Barta.

After receiving the news, the local knights in Qingquan Town checked the information and found that Barta had made many contributions during the wolf disaster.

The conscripts who made outstanding contributions were given the position of official knights, and now they have obtained the Eye of God and the ability to control elemental forces.

Out of admiration for him, and because the Knights' Headquarters in Mondstadt happened to be short of staff, the local clerk of the Knights' Headquarters in Qingquan Town took this opportunity to pass the message to the Knights' Headquarters in Mondstadt.

The intention is to try to get Barta promoted.

Thinking of this, Barta couldn't help but sigh.

There are still many good people in the world.

Finally, he responded to the call from the Mondstadt headquarters of the Knights of Favonius and arrived in Mondstadt ahead of time.

The travel expenses were reimbursed by the Knights of Qingquan Town, and the Knights also said they could cover part of the food expenses on the road, so it was considered a publicly funded tour.

His daughter, Leah, was taken care of by a businessman he met on the way to the wolf disaster, with whom he had a very close relationship.

I heard that the businessman took a fancy to the geographical location of Viladu Village close to the snow-capped mountains and wanted to run some business in Viladu Village.

I hope he can succeed... Bartada wished, and took a look at the map of Mondstadt he had just bought at a roadside shop.

He is currently located in the central area of ​​Mondstadt, and the headquarters of the Knights is in the garrison area to the west of the city.

The Knights had agreed to meet tomorrow, but he arrived a day early, so he was not in a hurry.

As he thought about it, he flipped through the newspaper he had just bought from the local newspaper in Mondstadt.

"His Holiness the Pope had an extremely ugly expression after eating at the restaurant. Why did His Holiness have such an expression after eating? How bad are the dishes in this restaurant? After investigation, the reporter found that the reason behind it was like being surrounded by a group of ice slimes, which was chilling..." As Barta read on, his eyes gradually became blurred.

…What the hell is this.

Why does someone write a special report about His Majesty's meal?

Could it be... that this is a local custom in Mondstadt?

…Well, city people are just different from country people like him.

Helplessly, he looked at other contents in the newspaper.

After reading it over and over for a long time, I could even make out the six big words "His Majesty Saint Samuel" between the words.

Bartada: “…”

Why call it a news newspaper? It might as well be called Your Majesty's Column.

Bartada felt speechless, as speechless as he had been a few months ago when he was a bartender and saw a bard throwing wind slimes into the apple brew.

Then he folded the newspaper and put it away.

By the way... I heard that Your Majesty lives in the church district northwest of Mondstadt?

Why don't you go check out the area? Maybe you can see him there...

As he thought about it, Barta couldn't help but see the pure white figure in front of his eyes. He involuntarily quickened his pace and walked towards the northwest of Mondstadt.

On the way, he enjoyed the unique atmosphere of Mondstadt and tasted the local specialties.

As noon approached, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black figure surrounded by several people.

Judging from his body shape, he seems to be a young man, wrapped tightly in a black cloak.

Those people looked aggressive and seemed to have bad intentions.

With a brave heart, Barta quietly moved forward until the figures forced the black-cloaked boy back into the depths of an empty alley.

He pricked up his ears curiously and heard one of them say:

"Boss, I've been watching this guy for a while, and his behavior is very... dignified, yes, dignified!

“He was looking here and there but he wasn’t buying anything.

"He's wrapped up so tightly. I guess my guess is right. This is the boy from an old noble family who sneaked out!"

Another person said maliciously:

"Young master of the old noble family? Then we can just let him eat our fill. He just happens to be short of money recently.

"Hey, kid, if you know what's best for you, hand over the valuables on you, or don't blame us for being rude."

Barta noticed that the young man in the black cloak was motionless and didn't know what was going on.

Could it be that he was frightened...?

He also knew about the affairs of the old aristocracy, but he believed that not all of them were bad.

What's more, what these people did was wrong in the first place. No matter who they are, they should not surround others and force them to pay.

Seeing that those people were about to attack when they saw that the young man in the black cloak did not react, Barta was about to rush over when he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing past his ears.

The next second, those people knelt on the ground inexplicably, struggling and groaning.

No... they didn't want to kneel down... it seemed like an invisible force was holding them down!

Is it… wind? Is that boy the owner of the Eye of the Wind God?

After a moment, he saw the wind slightly blow up the boy's cloak, and he saw the white and blue that were slightly revealed and then quickly covered.

Barta was stunned for a moment.

He would never be able to forget that figure that was so great and sacred in his mind.

That is, that is…!

...His Majesty Saint Samuel!!
