Zhongli handed the God's Heart of the Rock to the lady, "Well... the contract is done. As you requested, I will grant you what I promised you."
Afterwards, Zhongli explained to Ying why he faked his death and the contract between him and the Ice Queen.
"As you know, I have lived in the world for more than 6,000 years. I founded Liyue together with the immortals. That was 3,700 years ago."
"The rock that cannot be broken by the whirlpool will also be worn away by the erosion of time. It's just that I have been convincing myself that the day when it will be worn away and cracked has not come yet."
"Until one rainy day, I was walking in the harbor. I heard a merchant praising his subordinates: "You have completed your duties. Now, go and rest."
"At that time, I stood for a long time among the people passing by. I kept asking myself: Have I fulfilled my duty...?"
"But when I started to consider whether I should step down from the throne, I realized that there were many reasons why I couldn't leave."
"The Land Where the Gods Walk, Liyue, is it ready to enter the next era? I must create an opportunity to observe carefully before making a decision."
"That's why I planned this fake death to drag the young master, the immortal, and the Seven Stars of Liyue into the chaos."
Ying asked him: "Are you satisfied with the result now?"
"Although the appearance of the video has disrupted my plan to a certain extent, the result is still acceptable. Especially the answer of Qixing, which has exceeded my expectations..."
...
It's finally over.
The young man and the lady returned to Dong to meet the Queen.
Ying, together with Zhongli, participated in the ceremony of sending off the immortals.
After knowing Zhongli's identity, this feeling was quite strange. It was also the first time that Ying saw someone personally handle his own funeral.
Along the way, people were discussing who assassinated the emperor.
From what they said, we learned that the diplomat seemed to want to put the blame on the young master.
However, the reason given by the Liyue Seven Stars was that they failed to survive the tribulation and were struck to death by lightning.
When we arrived at Yujing Terrace, the ceremony of sending off the immortals was almost over.
Ningguang, as the representative of the Seven Stars, is giving a speech.
"As just said, the return of the emperor's soul to heaven is the severance of the contract and the end of an era."
"The people of Liyue were once happy, and in their happiness they forgot the cruelty of time."
"After the contract is signed, will you bless the next era?"
After Ningguang finished her speech, people in the audience had different thoughts.
Ying followed Zhongli away from the crowd, she had something else to ask.
Paimon: "The people of Liyue all feel that they will never see Lord Geum again. Zhongli, look at this atmosphere of remembrance for yourself..."
"Why do you look so relaxed?"
"Hahaha...Wouldn't it be easier after putting down the burden of three thousand seven hundred years?"
"By the way, when are you free? I'll invite you to New Moon Pavilion for dinner."
Paimon put his hands on his hips and looked at the Rock King, the creator of Mora, with disdain. "Hmph, stop bragging, Zhongli. I can believe "three bowls of rice won't break the bank", but Xinyuexuan even charges for tea. Can you really afford it?"
"So, Mora is indeed not enough."
Ying was a little confused and asked him, "Why is Morax short of Mora?"
"As the Rock King, Morax, I can easily create Mora. But since I chose a mortal like Zhongli, I should abide by the rules of mortals."
"During this journey with you, although the Heart of God is still in my hands, I know that I will soon step down from the position of the Seven Gods. How can I not give a preview of my new life in the future?"
Paimon spread his hands: "Hmm... No wonder! I understand. Zhongli never looks at the price when spending money. It turns out it's because he's not used to looking at prices."
"But he is still not used to not being able to conjure up Mora whenever he wants. So he has become a social loser who eats and takes things for free everywhere and asks others to pay for them..."
Yingzhi rolled her eyes, "If you can talk, publish a book."
"No... I just spent some fool's money. There is no need to describe me like this."
Afterwards, Zhongli shared some more information about Inazuma and General Raiden.
For example, the Eye Hunting Order and the Locked Country Order.
As for the law of nature, Zhongli couldn't say much because of the contract.
It seems that we can only wait for the video to reveal more information.
------
In the next few days, Ying had nothing to do except taking on a commission every day and taking Paimeng out to eat and drink.
According to Ningguang, if they want to go through the thunderstorm to Inazuma, they have to wait for a captain.
As for when she will return to Liyue Harbor, it is unknown.
But Liyue is also pretty good. The people here speak nicely, and the food in Wanmin Hall is novel and delicious, with large portions and enough to fill you up.
There's no need to rush to Inazuma to get struck by lightning.
On this day, Ying had just finished a commission and was about to go to Wanmin Hall for dinner. The short video system that had disappeared for a long time finally reappeared.
Chapter 82 Liyue King of Understanding: No one understands Prince Yan better than me
The light curtain suddenly appeared. Many days had passed since the last time I left my footprints and ran away.
'Hello everyone, this system is back! '
[Ying: Do you also work one day and rest three days? ]
[Arakaki Ichito: I’m almost dying of boredom, hurry up]
[Kyuki Shinobu: Boss! You’re addicted to short videos! ]
[Funina: After so many days of rest, aren't you going to work overtime today? ]
[Wendy: The system is also a free system. It is impossible to work overtime.]
[Qin: Indeed, it disappeared immediately after it was released last time, without any hesitation]
...
Since the event was postponed for so long, everyone was complaining in the chat room.
But the system remained unmoved and continued to proceed according to its set program.
"I believe everyone has heard about the death of Liyue's Geo King."
"Even as powerful as he is, he will eventually die."
"However, this system also has stories about the passing of other demon gods."
"Through this story, you can get a glimpse of the ancient demon war."
"In the war between demons and gods, if we don't have the power of the emperor, what should we do?"
Ready to play: Salt Flowers
The Demon War happened too long ago, and many people in Teyvat have little knowledge of it.
So, everyone was in high spirits.
The video begins.
Ying and Paimeng were invited to go to the Zhudian Boat. After getting on board, they saw a familiar figure.
Zhongli is here too.
Zhongli spotted the two people, "Oh? I didn't expect to see you here."
Wan Yan, who was sitting at the same table with Zhong Li, asked, "Are these two your friends?"
"I had the honor of meeting Ying and Paimeng some time ago. They are very knowledgeable and well-educated. I feel very compatible with them."
Zhongli turned around and asked Yingmei, "We just talked about the topic of "The Rock King in history". Are you interested in listening?"
The archaeologist Han Xue next to him interrupted, "This gentleman seems to have underestimated the power of Lord Yan. As a professional archaeologist, I would like to correct some of his views."
Yingmei was trying not to laugh, "Uh...he actually..."
"We are discussing the whereabouts of the first Mora in history."
Now Ying and Paimeng also became interested and wanted to listen.
Yixuan, who is also an archaeologist, put forward his own point of view.
"As we all know, under the guidance of Lord Yan, the ancestors of Liyue smelted ore. They used the initial goods to trade with the countries of the world."
"Liyue now has the sole right to cast molas in the entire continent. And the first mola in the world should have been cast by Prince Yan himself thousands of years ago."
Everyone expressed their opinions.
But they are all within a reasonable range.
[Ying: The first Mora, sounds like it has a lot of collection value]
[Paimon: What are you thinking about? That was so many years ago.]
[Ganyu: Emperor...will you specially collect the first Mora?]
In the video.
There was also a person named Han Xue who didn't speak, but unexpectedly he spoke a heavyweight voice as soon as he opened his mouth.
"No, no, no, according to my research, the status of this first Mora is not that simple."
"As we all know, Mora is a catalyst. To this day, there are also rumors of thaumaturgy that uses Mora's effect in mysticism to strengthen weapons."
"The world's first Mora must contain the most powerful power. So my next history book will boldly demonstrate the latest results of my ten years of dedicated research."
"That's it - Prince Yan used this mora as a catalyst to strengthen his sword."
Paimon: "One sword and one sword?"
“Hehehe, please buy the book and read the full text when the time comes. Now I will only reveal a small part of the secret. If you get the knife, you can become the Supreme of Liyue, and if you draw the sword, you can be crowned the King of Liyue—”
[Xingqiu: This sounds like a setting for a novel.]
[Zhongli: I don’t agree with this. Let’s not talk about the authenticity of this sword. The so-called Mora and money were originally created to be a bargaining chip to facilitate the signing of contracts.]
[Zhongli: Guiding humans to use Mora for trading is the Emperor's original intention]
