After watching Ren Kai return to the Feiyun Commerce Guild convoy, the Anemo Archon Barbatos—Venti—immediately carried the unconscious Demon God Andrius back to Wolvendom and threw him straight into his own den.
"Seriously… you're still not awake?"
Venti looked down at the unconscious wolf god with cold eyes.
Then he repeated what he had just done earlier—lifting Andrius high into the air with the wind and smashing him heavily onto the ground.
He repeated this eighteen times.
Only then did the unconscious Andrius finally wake up from the pain.
"Ugh…"
Andrius slowly opened his eyes.
The intense pain throughout his body made him groan.
"What happened?"
"…Barbatos? Was the intruder defeated?"
Andrius slowly stood up and asked weakly.
"Defeated someone?"
"Have you lost your mind?!"
"That was War Demon God Rexasis!"
"We almost got killed!"
Venti shouted angrily.
"What?! War Demon God Rexasis?"
"That person didn't look like him!"
"Rexasis was the golden dawn of the Dark Age—yet that man was dressed entirely in black!"
"…Wait."
"Before I passed out, I think I saw his eyes turn golden…"
"…Is it too late for me to run away now?"
Andrius finally calmed down.
But after thinking about it, he immediately panicked again.
Barbatos wasn't someone who would joke about something like this.
"Run?"
"Where exactly do you think you can run?"
Venti sneered.
"Then what should I do?"
Andrius asked helplessly.
"Ahem."
"Lord Rexasis said that when he traveled from Liyue to Mondstadt, monsters blocked the road."
"From now on, every road between Liyue and Mondstadt must remain completely clear."
"And especially the Feiyun Commerce Guild."
"If they ever encounter an attack again…"
"You'd better be ready to wash your neck and wait."
Venti said coldly.
But inside, he was laughing uncontrollably.
Perfect.
Now this problem is yours.
Which means I can go back to slacking off.
"Oh… that's it?"
"Don't worry. I'll handle it properly."
Andrius immediately swore solemnly.
Thinking back to what Ren Kai had said when stepping out of the carriage, everything suddenly made sense.
Little wolves…
Of all the roads you could block, you chose Rexasis's.
If there's a next life, don't be wolves.
You nearly dragged me down with you.
"Then hurry and take care of it."
"If Lord Rexasis encounters another attack…"
"Well, you know what will happen."
Venti said with forced seriousness while trying not to laugh.
"Thank you."
"I'll go clean up those unlucky monsters immediately."
Andrius thanked him sincerely before rushing off.
"Not bad."
"At least saving you wasn't a waste."
Venti smiled while watching him leave.
"Sigh…"
"But where am I supposed to get money now?"
Venti suddenly looked miserable.
He was already completely broke.
Now he had to treat Ren Kai to a meal and arrange trade privileges for the Feiyun Commerce Guild.
"Hm?"
"That was fast."
A gust of wind carried good news from afar.
Venti immediately brightened.
Using the wind, he arranged fallen leaves on the ground into the shape of a letter, then quietly left.
Ten minutes later, four fully armed Knights arrived.
"It's guidance left by the Anemo Archon."
"Maintain eternal friendly relations between Mondstadt and Liyue."
"The Feiyun Commerce Guild will serve as the liaison."
"Support them fully."
The knights trusted the message completely.
After all, they had followed the wind of the Anemo Archon to reach this place.
After confirming there were no other dangers nearby, they quickly returned to Mondstadt City.
Meanwhile—
Ren Kai had already returned to his carriage and was resting while checking his system panel.
[Uchiha Madara]
Role-playing Progress: 48%
Strength: Early Six Paths Level
Eye Power: Rinnegan
Authority: War (Unactivated)
Divine Weapon: Uchiha War Fan
Physique: Ultimate Sage Body
When Ren Kai awakened the Rinnegan, he had felt it was only natural.
But he hadn't expected his Rinnegan to be golden.
Not only did it grant Madara's Limbo: Border Jail, but it also awakened the ability Void Dominion.
The surprise was enormous.
Meanwhile, the Feiyun Commerce Guild convoy safely passed the snow mountain region.
After traveling another three hours, they reached the Mondstadt checkpoint.
When the Knights of Favonius stopped the convoy, they looked surprised.
"You're from Liyue?"
"We haven't seen a Liyue merchant caravan in a long time."
"You're very lucky."
The knight captain said warmly.
Other knights prepared to inspect the convoy.
"Yes."
"We are from the Feiyun Commerce Guild."
Uncle Fu stepped forward with a small pouch of Mora in hand.
"What?!"
"The Feiyun Commerce Guild?!"
The knight shouted loudly.
All the knights who were about to inspect the convoy immediately stopped.
Uncle Fu froze.
Did the Feiyun Commerce Guild offend the Knights of Favonius somehow?
He didn't even dare offer the Mora pouch anymore.
"I am Knight Captain Leon of the Knights of Favonius."
"On behalf of Mondstadt, I welcome the Feiyun Commerce Guild."
"All units—salute!"
Leon declared.
Every knight saluted the convoy respectfully.
"…What is this?"
Uncle Fu was completely confused.
"When did the Feiyun Commerce Guild deserve such respect?"
"Two hours ago, the Feiyun Commerce Guild officially became Mondstadt's honorary trade guild."
"All trade will be unrestricted."
"All transactions will be tax-free."
"The Knights of Favonius are ordered to prioritize their protection and respect."
Captain Leon explained seriously.
"I see…"
Uncle Fu nodded slowly.
"It must be Mr. Madara's doing."
Even though he hadn't witnessed Ren Kai's confrontation with Barbatos, the events from a few hours ago were still fresh in his mind.
Everything had to be thanks to Mr. Madara.
"Let them pass."
"You two escort the Feiyun convoy."
Leon ordered two knights.
"Thank you, thank you."
"Take this small gift and buy yourselves some wine."
Uncle Fu tried handing over the Mora pouch.
"That won't be necessary."
"Please rest assured—the Knights of Favonius will protect the Feiyun Commerce Guild."
Leon refused firmly.
"Understood."
Uncle Fu nodded.
The Knights of Favonius clearly valued the Feiyun Commerce Guild highly.
All thanks to Mr. Madara.
Uncle Fu silently guessed.
Mr. Madara must have slain the troublesome demon god and removed a great threat for Mondstadt.
