As everyone knows, the people of Mondstadt worship their god, the Anemo Archon Barbatos, with a passion.
Barbatos is mighty and benevolent, beloved by the people, and even has a great dragon bowing to him.
But what does any of that have to do with the bard Venti?
Venti wanders around with his lyre, looking for people to sing to. He clings to his bottle and always wants ten more, never thinking about what he'll do when he has no money for food tomorrow. Live for today, and let tomorrow take care of itself.
Then one day, Venti somehow joined Mondstadt's famous A-rank mercenary company, the Knights of Favonius. And he...
Combat ability? None.
Healing ability? None.
Tactical command skills? Still none.
If finding every opportunity to drink counts as a skill...
Venti smiled brightly. "I'll sing in the rear to cheer you on~"
Yet this good-for-nothing, drunken chatterbox never got thrown out of the Knights of Favonius. Somehow, he even became the whole company's darling?
A certain passerby who'd spent ten years writing application letters to join the company: "..."
Varka, Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius and the current "Knight of Boreas," is hailed as a living legend of the order. He was even awarded a medal of honor by Barbatos himself...
If only he could deny that the person who gets drunk at every victory banquet is him.
Everyone in the Knights of Favonius adores their Grand Master.
To be specific:
They make the Grand Master fight the battles they don't want to fight, think through the problems they don't want to deal with, and pay for whatever they want to eat and drink.
A perfect relationship within the company.
With a team like this, the Knights of Favonius have never fallen below fifth place on the universal rankings of "Most Impressive Mercenary Companies." It's just alcohol, after all. What effect could that have on a legend?
This legendary Grand Master, Varka, watched the green-clad boy who'd suddenly appeared without a word, allowing him to go on missions alongside the other members of the company.
As the encroaching darkness drew nearer, the Knights of Favonius learned an astonishing secret: for some reason, their god Barbatos had lost his divine power!
Venti: "Oh my, isn't that just like me, a good-for-nothing?"
Barbara was so shocked by his irreverence that the devout believer nearly fainted on the spot.
Varka chuckled. "Oh, just like you."
[Dependable, cheerful knight X a god who seems good-for-nothing but is unfathomable within]

Blurb:
Zhou Mingrui transmigrated and became Klein Moretti.
He even got a System after transmigrating.
That's normal. It's a trope that web novels had already run into the ground eight hundred years ago.
But what could an innocent, weak, ordinary young man do when something this bizarre happened to him?
He could only quietly follow the System's instructions, hoping to finish the tasks quickly, clear the game, and get home, right?
And the world he'd transmigrated into was a very niche setting: a Western Industrial Revolution mixed with steampunk fantasy. The names were long enough to give anyone from the Great Foodie Empire a headache, and don't even get him started on the food.
His one consolation was the System he'd brought with him. It wasn't jumpy or aloof and silent, just a rather friendly, homey sort of System.
But its instructions were impossible to understand:
"From now on, you must not follow the Acting Method."
Zhou Mingrui had already realized he couldn't return for the time being and accepted becoming Klein. He'd just obtained crucial information from a clue provided by the scenario, "Emperor Roselle's Diary", when the System suddenly issued this command.
Klein immediately thought to himself: Why not? Is this diary actually a trap set by the scenario to trick newbies like us?
System: Not at all. The Acting Method is the secret to advancing quickly and preventing loss of control.
Klein: Then if you won't let me follow it, are you telling me not to advance, or do you want me to lose control and become a monster?!
System: You must continue to "advance" without following the Acting Method.
In other words:
As a Seer, he couldn't gain revelations through divination;
As a Clown, he couldn't hide his true pain and sorrow;
As a Magician, he couldn't perform in public or push himself to the limit;
Klein: If you want to kill me and start a new game, just say so!
System: Good luck.
Theme: Striving for love and peace
The grand leader finally made it clear that if you take the initiative and be bold and careful, you will naturally be able to successfully seize the opportunity. And both of them are very honest, which makes it very comfortable. But no matter how brave the leader is, he will still be a little reserved in front of the gods, and then he will feel nervous and excited until he can't hold back and sweat hahh Wendy dragged the person who was slightly older than her to sit down. Thinking about the picture, it was very cute. Although she still doesn't know what her heart is, Wendy is still able to gain the upper hand in getting along with her. This also corresponds to the fact that even if Wendy loses all her powers, she can still regain the situation in an orderly manner. The next step is to push forward the relationship progress and push the progress of the business at the same time. Come on, big leader [caigou]
Completely ignoring Wendy's intention to hide her identity and revealing her identity, it feels like the emperor is angry ~ So, is Wendy going to fall off the horse, and it doesn't feel like it will be so soon? But no matter what, after this experience, the grand leader should have fully realized that Wendy is very unusual in his heart (smirking) [Orange Candy] has eaten [Purple Candy] kswl
The chief of the group now mainly wants to protect Wendy, but in the process of getting along with Wendy, he can't help but want to express his feelings, hoping that Wendy will realize something 😳
Wendy gave Dulin the freedom of choice, good Wendy! Du Lin chose not to unlock the seal and coexist with the world in his dream. Good luck to Du Lin! The archbishop uses Dulin, the archbishop is bad! I'm numb, so can I have an archbishop who hasn't betrayed me? [Hold up my chin] This situation really left the grand leader speechless, and he felt even more uncomfortable when facing the indifferent Wendy. Any normal Mondstadt would feel sad if he knew the situation of his own god, but none of the bishops was a poet [turned]
The first thing to do after escaping... Change into women's clothes first 😂 Just like in the game plot, I hid here with Diluc. Xiao Wen said he wanted to use the Sky Piano. Do you still want to hide your identity? 🐶 And the leader of the group is really becoming more and more proactive, and gradually speaks freely in front of Wendy.
Sincere praise for Lord Barbatos who knows how to create wind fields and wind circles... [Spread flowers]
The grand leader seems to no longer care about Wendy's identity as a wind god, and his eyes are full of Wendy's smart side. Is it okay to say that I carry Barbatos with me everywhere?
In the first few chapters, when Wendy and the grand leader said that the Knights of the West Wind could also come to help, I thought that the next step would be to deal with one small copy after another, just like getting back the Sky Piano. I thought that the plot at the end of the introduction was about to appear, but in the end, it took a sudden turn to deal with the Abyss Order omg. Although I knew that the bishop was definitely going to take the bait, in the end, after the sixth chapter, I fast-forwarded to the point where the enemy and I were thrown out together, and the whole process was full of tension [dissolved] It was really a day of ups and downs for the Grand Leader, from expressing his feelings to being responded to, to witnessing a different side of Wendy than the ordinary god, to having a nightmare, and finally the nightmare came true, and Wendy disappeared directly in front of his eyes. I feel like the leader is going to be broken. Uh-huh. Now Wendy returned to 500 years ago, and then threw herself outside the timeline and fell asleep. Even Tevalin could not sense Wendy's existence. Now the archbishops intended to control the gods and directly made the gods disappear. How can people make such a big fool of themselves (). Speaking of Snow Mountain, it was considered God Killing, and Du Lin almost couldn't seal it. Although Wendy and the Grand Leader didn't reveal anything, these two bishops really didn't realize that Abyss was not the same as themselves. They were bold and stupid and didn't bother to complain. It's fine now. If the people of Mondstadt knew about it, they might tear down the church overnight (Other bishops: When they woke up, their colleagues gave Mondstadt a big surgery) Wendy came back to Liyue in the past not long after, so the spell to go back to the past should be time-limited. If Wendy wanted to go back, she should go back to the present directly, directly avoiding some bugs. Even if you go back to the past, you shouldn't be able to change what has happened now, but maybe you can change the development of the future? Going back to find Zhongli only gives a "cause" to the "effect" that has already happened. Oops, the concept of "time" gets messed up. Anyway, the fact that Camrea was destroyed feels impossible to change. However, Wendy still chose to send herself away just in case. In short, these messy things in the church should have been solved. The question is when Wendy can come back. Since there seems to be no time flow outside the timeline, maybe it doesn't matter how long Wendy sleeps. Maybe she can come back not too long ago, and then fast forward to retirement and stay in the Knights as the group's pet and travel around. Is it possible? Is it possible? 🤩 🤩 🤩
Oh my god, what a new plot!!! Wenwen can still see Falga again, qaq, there are obviously many things that have not been said or done, oh no, qaq, please be sure to do it!
The grand leader is also gradually getting on the road. The two of them are going back and forth in private now. I don't know if they can restrain themselves in the future when others are around, especially the head of the group [Caigou]
