[Paimon: Alas, Fatui, we have offended the wrong person this time]

[Vendy: Oh, he actually broke the contract in Liyue. Guest Master Zhong can’t tolerate this.]

Zhongli looked serious, "Emperor Rock King once said: 'Once the contract is signed, those who break their promise will be punished by eating rocks.'"

"That is the god of your Liyue. I am from the winter. I..."

Zhongli interrupted him rudely. He rarely did such impolite things.

However, since the other party broke the contract in front of the God of Contract, he no longer had to be polite.

"You can feel the punishment of eating rocks yourself...it won't be easy."

Clement couldn't last more than a single blow from Zhongli and was directly knocked down by a huge pillar.

"I have also confiscated your gains. You are no longer qualified to move forward, so just leave."

Then the bad guy started to speak harshly, "Damn it, just wait for me!"

[Hu Tao: Why is the fighting power of the guest so outrageous? Or is this Clement too weak? ]

[Zhongli: (drinking tea) He probably lost on purpose because he was concerned about the traveler next to him.]

[Ying: It’s possible. If I take action, he won’t be able to leave.]

[Diluk: It seems that your experience in Liyue has given you a better understanding of the Fatui.]

In the video.

Paimon: "It's an archaeological survey, but I can't pretend anymore."

Yingmei took the opportunity to tease the money-grubber Paimon, "Paimon, don't become like him in the future."

Paimon: "What do you mean? (stomps his feet)"

Zhongli said as he looked at the Fatui's fleeing in panic.

"Clement's mistake was greed. But besides greed, there are many temptations that make people want to break the contract."

"When faced with something they desire, how many people can control their desires and abide by the contract? Let's take this opportunity to make it clear."

Now that things have developed to this point, Zhongli feels that there is no need to act anymore.

Make it clear directly.

"This temporary archaeological team, no one is here for 'archaeology'."

Chapter 85 The Cruel Truth: The Losers of the Demon War

Wan Yan refused to admit it, but was exposed by Zhongli Wuqing.

"Ma'am, you lack the most basic knowledge of archaeology and you don't know many cultural relics, but you are particularly proficient in the knowledge of the Salt Demon."

"Compared to archaeology and cultural relics, the Salt Demon God himself is more interesting to you."

"The legends about the Salt Demon God that you mentioned in Zhudianfang, as far as I know, are most widely circulated in the Silver Plains..."

Seeing her disguise exposed, Wan Yan just asked him to stop talking.

"Stop talking...Sir, you are indeed very knowledgeable. It seems that I made the right choice to muster up the courage to ask you a question."

She frankly admitted that she was not an archaeologist at all, but came from one of Liyue's "Seven Stars and Eight Gates", the "Silver Origin Office" in charge of the salt industry.

The reason why she was interested in the Salt Demon was because her ancestors were the people who were once protected by the Salt Demon.

[Charlotte: No wonder she doesn’t call him Geolord like other Liyue people, but calls him by his name]

[Navia: Looking at the chat room, not many people mention Morax]

[Xingqiu: That’s out of respect for the Emperor]

Wanyan then accused Morax, "During the war, Morax assassinated our god. He was jealous of the power of the Demon God of Words and made us homeless!"

"I...we hate him! But Liyue is the Liyue of Morax, and history must have been whitewashed by him..."

The more she talked, the more excited she became.

"So, I want to prove that Morax is also guilty! He has blood on his hands, and he has a cruel and ruthless side."

Zhongli was silent, not knowing where to start.

However, Wan Yan interpreted Zhongli's attitude as him not daring to face the truth.

"We signed a contract and we have to face the truth, right, Mr. Zhongli? You must make a fair judgment on this matter!"

Zhongli: "Of course, and Liyue is no longer Morax's Liyue. Come with me, all the answers are ahead."

Going further, there is a broken sword enshrined on the altar.

Wanyan was overjoyed, this was the proof that Heulia had rebelled!

She wanted to take the broken sword away, but because of the contract, Zhongli only allowed her to take one.

It was no use for Ying and Paimon to plead for mercy.

For this reason, Wanyan decided to break the contract.

"It doesn't matter what punishment you want, just let me bring back... proof of my faith."

Paimon thought Zhongli was going to hit her, so she quickly stood in front of him.

[Zhongli: No, as a punishment, I should choose to tell her the "truth"]

[Arata Ichito: What kind of punishment is it to tell her the truth? 】

[Coral Palace Xinhai: It seems that this truth will completely change her perception. Maybe the Salt Demon is not what she thought.]

[Barbara: The collapse of faith is indeed a heavy punishment]

In the video, Zhongli really chose to tell the truth.

Wan Yan couldn't believe it, "The truth? You said the truth... is it a punishment for me?"

"Yes, the fact you will hear next is the price for breaking the contract."

Zhongli began to tell the facts about the Demon God of Salt.

"Unfortunately, the Demon God of Salt, Heulia, is not a powerful Demon God."

"On the contrary, she is too weak - too accommodating, too weak. She is the loser who has no chance of ascending to the position of the Seven Gods."

Wan Yan was struck by lightning when she heard that. "You...what did you say?!"

"During the Demon War, the demons of the mortal world used all their strength and wisdom to fight for the continent of Teyvat."

"But Heulia chose to escape. She believed that as long as she gave up before the fight happened, the war would never affect her and her people."

Zhongli said with some regret, "However, in the long years of war, there will be no end to concessions."

"In the bottomless concession, Heulia lost all the land, leaving only the last shelter."

Wan Yan murmured, "No... Impossible."

But Zhongli did not stop. This was the punishment she had to endure.

"In her last moments, she didn't even have a weapon to raise to protect her people."

Wan Yan felt something was wrong. Wasn’t there a sword here?

Isn't this sword a proof of defiance?

Zhongli paused for a moment, "This broken sword is not a relic of the Salt Demon, but... the weapon that killed her."

Wan Yan couldn't accept all this. "No! This is fake. Everything you said is fake. You want to confuse my faith in God!"

"I said, I only state the facts."

"How ridiculous! You...you are also a follower of Morax. Don't even think about deceiving me!"

After Wan Yan finished speaking, she ran away crying.

"Hey! Don't run!"

"After all, this is a punishment. If not, I wouldn't want to tell such a cruel story."

Zhongli suggested that everyone go deeper, as there were things there that would force her to accept the truth no matter what.

Along the way, there were more and more 'people' in various shapes and forms, and most of them were running out.

【Cole: How scary...】

[Navia: Are they running away? ]

[Kaia: Probably the people who didn’t escape turned into this statue]

[Walnut: What on earth happened here? ]

Zhongli and his friends found Wan Yan who had escaped. She was squatting in front of the last door of the ruins, at a loss as to what to do.

Therein lies the truth of the whole matter.

Zhongli: "Since you can't trust me, let's move on."

open the door.

Although they were prepared, the sight before them still frightened the three of them.

The salt flowers spread out in all directions from the center of the room.

The surrounding statues either looked terrified or turned around and tried to run, but none of them could escape.

Only the statue in the middle is different. His posture looks like he is holding a sword with both hands and stabbing it into the victim's body.

"This is the scene. Heulia's body disintegrated, leaving only a few traces of salt. The scene of her death was also frozen here."

"The sequel to the story is that some of her people finally realized that this kind but weak demon god could not protect anyone in the war."

"The Demon God War is very cruel. Rather than letting her suffer the torture after defeat, it is better to grant her a relatively easy relief."

Ying asked, "What are these statues?"

“No matter how weak a demon god is, the power lost when he dies is beyond the ability of a mortal body to withstand.”

"The Salt God's people who had not experienced this disaster left her territory and went to Liyue to ask for the protection of the Rock Emperor."

"Their descendants fear the remnants of the demons left behind by Heulia, and fear that she will bestow upon them eternal curse..."

"So they risked their lives to return here, break the sword, and enshrine it, hoping to appease the anger she left behind."
