"Hey, what are you two doing here!" Paimon saw Wan Yan and Clement who were arguing.
"They seem to have a jar in front of them!"
Several people walked over quickly.
"What are you fighting for?" Pamon crossed his arms and inserted himself between the two people arguing.
"It's not this woman. I just want to see this salt shaker. I'm afraid I'll take it away. It's like guarding against thieves."
I feel resentful when I talk about this Clement.
Although the woman came in first, they arrived almost at the same time and saw the salt shaker at the same time.
"Let me see."
Zhongli walked to the jar and looked at it, and then suddenly realized.
"There is only half of the salt in it. As far as I know, this should be one of the artifacts of the Demon God of Salt. Although it is only half, there will always be half. In other words, it is endless."
"Doesn't that mean that as long as I keep pouring it out, the salt in the jar will never decrease?"
Clement suddenly became excited.
With this, he can take over the salt industry business at no cost!
Judging from the quality of the salt in this jar, it is all good salt!
Wan Yan was also very happy and glanced at Jiang Bai proudly, as if she had found evidence that could refute him.
"See, it can produce endless amounts of salt. Sure enough, the power possessed by the Demon God of Salt is very powerful!"
Jiang Bai rolled his eyes and dismissed it.
What a joke, during the Demon God War, you used such a small jar to drown the enemy with salt?
Judging from the size of the jar and the amount of salt inside, it would take most of the pouring time to cover one person.
Not to mention using this thing to fight a demon with a body bigger than mountains and seas.
Jiang Bai's dismissive attitude obviously irritated Wan Yan even more. Wan Yan glanced at him gloomily and walked forward without looking back.
"According to our agreement, each person takes one piece in turn, so I will accept this salt shaker." Clement happily put the salt shaker into his bag.
Zhongli spoke slowly, "Since I have chosen this one, according to the contract, the next one will belong to someone else."
They made a contract before entering the ruins. Each person took one piece in turn, and Zhongli did not participate in it.
“No problem, no problem!”
Clement agreed happily. What could be more valuable than this!
The further you go, the more "people" you see.
These people who have long been turned into salt sculptures have different postures. They are either maintaining the movement of running away, or they are praying with their hands clasped together, as if they are repenting to the gods.
"What the hell is going on here."
Even Clement felt frightened after seeing too many of these statues.
"You should be able to find out if you go inside."
Not long after, several people saw Wan Yan again. She was standing in front of a stone ruler, frowning in deep thought.
"What is this? A ruler?" Clement asked.
"This is a measuring instrument." Wan Yan gave an affirmative reply.
"This is also a thing of the Demon God of Salt. Once this salt ruler is inserted into the ground, the soil will be covered with salt like rising water. The deeper it goes, the more salt grains will be. In other words, it is a [harvest] of salt."
Hearing this, Wan Yan immediately took the salt ruler. Holding the artifact in her hand, she immediately felt confident and looked at Jiang Bai jokingly.
"Humph, you stupid lackey of Morax, you have nothing to say now!"
Jiang Bai crossed his arms over his chest, "Do you believe it or not? The salt ruler in your hand will soon fall into my hand."
Hearing this, Wan Yan's complexion changed and she quickly hugged the salt ruler tightly, fearing that he would snatch it away.
Jiang Bai just wanted to see him unhappy and scare her. If he was to say he was too tempted by the salt ruler, he really wasn't.
"Although it sounds strong, it only sounds like it."
Jiang Bai analyzed to her bit by bit where the salt ruler was weak.
"First of all, the soil is just covered with salt. It does not mean that the soil has turned into salt. In other words, the salt still pours out of the salt ruler, which is no different from the effect of the salt cup.
"The second thing is efficiency. Take the Salt of the Earth area as an example. If you want to use this salt ruler to cover all the Salt of the Earth, do you think it will take one year or two years?"
"With this time, the emperor would have killed the Demon God of Salt a thousand times!"
"You, you, you are talking nonsense!" Wan Yanyan's face turned red and his neck thickened.
"I'm sorry, everyone, but I also accept this salt ruler."
Clement took advantage of her not paying attention and snatched the salt ruler away.
"Thank you all, see you again soon!"
After grabbing the things, he ran away immediately.
With this salt ruler and salt cup, he can dominate the entire salt market! A rich and powerful country is just around the corner!
"Hey! Where do you want to run?" Jiang Bai immediately pulled him out of the shadows.
"Haven't you heard the words of the King of Rocks? The contract is made, and those who break their promises shall be punished by eating rocks."
If you dare to violate the contract in front of the old man, do you think he is a disciple of the emperor?
"That's your Liyue god, and I'm from Winter!"
"Oh, the people of Winter are amazing! Even if you, the Queen of Winter, are here, you still have to abide by the contract!"
After Jiang Bai said something cruel, he looked at Zhongli and asked in a very dogged manner:
"Master, what is the punishment for eating rocks? Do you want him to eat rocks?"
"Just punishment is enough."
"That's easy to handle."
Jiang Bai snapped his fingers, took the salt ruler and salt cup, and sealed his entire body with rock elements, leaving only his head for him to move around.
"Okay, now that my master has spoken, I won't let you eat rocks. You can just stay here until we finish exploring this place!"
Jiang Bai looked at Wan Yan, who was so frightened that he took several steps back, and smiled extremely dangerously.
"Now that we are here, Miss Wanyan, who is pretending to be an archaeologist, it's time for you to tell her true origins."
"Yes, you are not an archaeologist at all, you are just interested in the Salt Demon God himself."
Even Paimon discovered something was wrong with her.
Facing the terrifying Jiang Bai, his reason finally overcame his disgust and anger towards him.
Wan Yan took a deep breath and said: "I come from one of Liyue's [Seven Stars and Eight Gates], the [Yinyuan Hall] in charge of the salt industry."
"Tsk, he's actually an official. Since when has his ability to look at people with his eyes become so poor?"
Wanyan ignored his words and continued to tell her story.
"My ancestors were the people who were protected by the Demon God of Salt when the Demon God War swept across the continent."
"I guessed it a long time ago"
The words were interrupted again by Jiang Bai. Wan Yan took several deep breaths and continued her own rhythm.
Although this Jiang Bai is Morax's stupid lackey, Zhongli is different from the travelers. They are fair. She must seek justice for the Salt Demon God!
