Chapter 13
It's been 3 days since Jeanne and I set out on a hike to the Geo Archon statue. During the breaks, she explained to how to transform Anemo for healing, and when we were walking, we mostly discussed what I knew about other people and what impression I had of them from my visions. About how quickly the cheerful and sympathetic Amber could win any heart. About Kaye, who made feel like an overly cunning womanizer whom I couldn't trust, even though I understood that my attitude was biased and he was a pretty good guy.
It's hard to put into words how embarrassed I was when Jeanne asked what impression she made on . At first, it looked like I was almost confessing my love to her, but in the end I was able to calm down and also express my opinion that it was wrong for a master or deputy master to deal with such trifles as searching for cats, when there are ordinary knights and it would be nice to hire an additional reliable secretary, because it is wrong when everything rests on just one person. Ning Guang would never have achieved the heights she has now without a competent distribution of responsibilities, if I rember correctly, she has 4 secretaries. Naturally, I doubt that she will listen to these words.
Chatting like this after a while, it already felt like we had long been familiar friends. Yesterday evening we reached the border of Li Yue, where we were able to stay overnight, and now we are almost close to the statue of Geo Archon. It was located perpendicular to the path on a small hill surrounded by golden flowers, and at a small distance there was a house in which soone obviously lived, perhaps even a rchant, whose stall was right next to the path and whom we did not encounter only because we imdiately went to the statue.
- Well, try to activate this statue. - Jean told with a pronounced curiosity on her face, after all, from my stories, she knew that the traveler could receive an elent from each statue of the archons.
Nodding, I approached the statue, which, like the statue of the Anemo archon, looked like a chess piece, only this ti there was an image of a man on top, who was comfortably seated on a throne holding a cube in front of him in his right hand. When I activated the statue, it was in this cube that energy began to gather and a mont later an energy ball with the Geo symbol flew out at .
This ti, when I received a new elent, I felt more significant changes, in addition to increasing my internal energy by 5%, I felt my body beco stronger, although I don't know yet to what extent this manifested itself.
- Well, how did it happen? – asked Genie.
In response to her question, I, using Geo, created 3 small golden stones that began to rotate above my palm.
- I suppose that ans yes. – the girl smiled.
- Are we going back to Mondstadt now? – I asked.
- Yes, but first we need to check sothing. See that stall by the road. The wine barrels there are suspiciously similar to those sold by the Dawn distillery, only the trademark is clearly different.
- Is it really important? – I asked.
- Yes. After all, if he sells wine that our country is famous for and tries to pass it off as sothing of his own, then this is a violation of at least 2 laws. – said Genie seriously.
- Um, okay if that's the case. - I said hesitantly, since I hadn't looked up any laws, although I rembered that in the previous world, sothing like this was most likely punishable.
- Hello, beautiful ladies! Would you like to buy a bottle of local wine? - the cheerful chubby guy standing behind the counter asked us.
- What kind of wine is this? - asked Genie
- This is a special Li Yue wine. It looks like liquid amber and leaves a sweet aftertaste on the tip of your tongue. I guarantee it will remain in your mory forever. The best wine in the region! We buy it directly from the Zarya distillery, that's why our prices are so low.
- Maybe from the Dawn distillery? - I decided to correct the rchant.
- Huh? What's at the Dawn distillery? Did I let it slip? I ant the local distillery! I told you it was local wine, right? - the more the man spoke, the sterner Jinn's gaze beca, although to it was more like a mother looking at a guilty child.
- You know, you just really let it slip. - I said, amazed at such stupidity.
- Oh, I can see from your eyes that you know a lot about alcohol. Yes, I admit it. We buy wine in Mondstadt and re-label it. I don't like to deceive custors, but the Dawn distillery makes the best wine on the entire continent! They are simply beyond competition!
- Do you understand that you are breaking the law? - Jinn began to speak.
- What?! - the man jumped back in horror.
- If you resell wine from the Dawn distillery, then be so kind as to do it according to the rules, do not forget about the laws on the protection of consurs and producers, by the way, these laws ca from your country.
- But I didn't know it was illegal!
- Now you know, and if I find out that you continue to do this, I will file a complaint with the distillery manager to Tsixing. - the girl said nacingly.
- What are you saying, I never.
- That's good. I hope we understand each other.
- Let's go Fischl, we need to go back. - Jean turned to .
- Good.
As soon as we walked about 10 ters away, the man behind us said.
- Where did that mare co from? Will she tell how to run my business. - Hearing this, my breath caught in indignation, but Jean simply put her hand on my shoulder and shook her head. So we continued walking until we had walked far enough that we were out of sight.
- What an ungrateful b... bad person. - It's obvious that I initially wanted to say sothing more rude, but at the last mont I held back, although, judging by the smile, Genie understood .
- Don't worry, when my vacation is over, I'll send the information to the distillery so that they can check and if he continues like this, then the millelites will deal with him. After all, no one likes scamrs.
- Okay, but judging by his behavior when he thought we weren't listening, he won't change.
- Well, it doesn't matter now, take us to the teleportation point before Mondstadt.
- Okay.
