Putting away his thoughts, Makoto took out the treasure compass.
Soon, the needle reacted, beginning to spin and point in a direction.
Makoto immediately followed the compass to search for the spiritwind luminescence marrow.
Little Qiqi immediately followed with his short legs.
Venti looked surprised, saying, "I never thought there was such a way to find treasures; it's truly amazing."
"Mr. Faxun, can this compass help find the wine buried in the ground at the winery? I'm just asking casually, just asking casually, hehe."
Venti's tone was casual, but his eyes were shining with golden light, clearly admiring the compass in Makoto's hand.
Makoto knew exactly what Venti was thinking without even needing to ponder.
He said grumpily, "For some reason, this compass can only be used by me. If I give it to you, it will just be an ordinary compass."
It wasn't that Makoto was unwilling to lend the compass to Venti.
Rather, the compass itself had limitations; besides Makoto, it was just a regular compass in anyone else's hands.
Upon hearing Makoto's reply, the light in Venti's eyes extinguished.
He could understand such item restrictions.
After a brief moment of disappointment,
Venti soon looked up at Makoto again, saying excitedly, "Mr. Faxun, are you interested in doing something big with me?"
"Let's find all the wine hidden underground, what do you say?"
Makoto: …
This guy really is an out-and-out drunkard.
Finally, Makoto stopped outside a cave entrance.
The treasure compass showed that the spiritwind luminescence marrow was inside.
However, a huge block of ice currently blocked the entrance, preventing access.
The ice block had to be dealt with before they could enter.
Makoto and Venti exchanged glances.
"Mr. Faxun, I know what to do."
As he spoke, Venti stepped forward with a serious expression.
Makoto's heart stirred; Venti actually had moments when he didn't slack off or fish in troubled waters.
It was truly rare.
It seemed Venti was genuinely interested in this treasure compass.
But that was good too; he would get to witness Venti's power.
For the Anemo Archon, destroying such an ice block should be an easy feat.
After all, in the game's lore,
The initial Mondstadt was covered in snow everywhere, and it was the Anemo Archon who used his divine power to blow away the snow and reshape Mondstadt's terrain.
Just as Makoto was anticipating Venti to display his power,
Venti, however, pulled out his lyre and began to play a song.
"Mr. Faxun, the song I'm playing is about an Adventurer who overcomes countless difficulties, breaking through thorns and brambles, and finally finds a treasure."
"I hope it can inspire you, ehe."
Makoto was speechless.
It turned out Venti had no intention of acting at all; he was just cheering him on from the sidelines.
It truly is you, Barbatos, always avoiding serious work.
There was no other way; Makoto could only break this large ice block himself.
Surely a simple use of a Pyro element combat skill would get rid of the ice block, right?
He had just recently drawn Klee's Jumpty Dumpty.
Today, he would use the bomb to test its power.
A thought merely crossed Makoto's mind,
The next second, a cute red bomb appeared in his hand.
When Venti saw the Jumpty Dumpty, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily,
As if he recalled some extremely painful past events.
How could the item in Makoto's hand be so similar to that witch's bomb?
Before Venti could ponder further, Makoto had already thrown the bomb at the ice block.
When the two collided, the red bomb emitted a dazzling light.
The next moment, a powerful force shattered the ice block into pieces.
Venti quickly put his hands up to protect himself.
He felt as if the entire snow mountain trembled when the bomb exploded.
At that moment, Venti re-experienced the terror of being dominated by bombs.
Once in Mondstadt, there was also a woman who used bombs, leaving a shadow in Venti's heart.
And little Qiqi tilted his head, saying with a blank, adorable expression, "Makoto… is he setting off fireworks?"
"Qiqi likes fireworks…"
Venti forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
Little girl, this is not fireworks at all.
Compared to this thing, fireworks are merely a younger brother.
Venti could confirm,
Makoto definitely had some connection with that troublesome witch from Mondstadt.
There was no mistake!
However, before Venti could speak,
A female voice slowly drifted from another direction on the snow mountain: "Oh? Someone else likes to solve problems directly and simply with bombs, just like me."
"That's quite a surprise."
Hearing the voice, both Makoto and Venti instinctively looked up.
They noticed a woman standing not far away, wearing a wide magic hat and a vibrant red long dress.
The woman's features were exquisite and beautiful, her figure tall and slender.
One could see the shadows of Klee and Lisa in her, both pure and alluring.
Her every gesture fully displayed the mature charm of a woman.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Alice, and I'm from Mondstadt."
