"Mr. Zhongli, I wonder when the guards of the Golden House will withdraw?"
At the dock late at night, there were only a few dock managers and Qianyan Army patrolling at night. In the hazy night, Dadalia raised his head and asked, his eyes like bottomless sea water.
Zhongli and the Queen of Winter signed a contract in exchange for the heart of God. This is the contract that ends all contracts.
Gods, in this era of human rule, are no longer suitable to control everything, let alone a prosperous business capital like Liyue.
The rock god Morax has been watching this land for 3,700 years, and naturally has a deep attachment to this land, so he must confirm whether this land has the consciousness to leave the protection of gods and immortals.
For this purpose, Zhongli borrowed painstaking efforts to prepare a test for Liyue, and Dadalia was one of the chess pieces sent to him by the Ice Queen.
The reputation of the Fools in the other six countries is definitely not good. As part of the contract, when the Fools become evil people who attract public attention on the surface, there will be a lot less trivial things to do in the end.
Zhongli is also unwilling to put too much effort into cleaning up the mess.
Once the scapegoat has been decided, the plan to fake death can begin. Immortals are far away from Liyue, but they still have great constraints on this land. The death of Emperor Yanwang will make the people and immortals in Liyue more intense.
Confrontation begins.
If there were a crisis that could destroy Liyue, how would they face it?
Zhongli Gujing calmly looked at the direction Famas was leaving, thinking seriously about whether it would be good or bad to release him.
"The contract has been concluded, and I will naturally tell Mr. Gongzi everything I know."
"The Immortal already knows about the emperor's death, and sooner or later he will raise an army to Qixing to investigate. At that time, Qixing will have to mobilize a large number of Qianyan troops to defend Liyue. That is also the time when the defense of the Golden House is at its weakest."
Zhongli shook his head. A thin mist began to rise on the sea near the pier, making everything look gray.
"Oh? But I don't think Mr. Zhongli has that much trust in the Fools either."
"Especially, that guy named Famas...except for what he did in Mondstadt, the Fools don't have any information."
Dadalia's expression was a bit cunning, as if she wanted to find out something from Zhongli's mouth.
Zhong Li secretly laughed in his heart. He was really a warrior who only knew how to fight. His thoughts were all written on his face.
"I'm just an ordinary friend. If Mr. Gongzi doesn't believe in Zhong, you can find another guide."
Zhongli put his hands behind his hands and smiled in a desperate tone.
Even after learning from Zhongli many secrets and ancient runes passed down in Liyue for thousands of years, Dadalia was still extremely busy.
Those illusory celestial beings and institutions are really not suitable for a foreigner like him who has traveled across the ocean to rob. He often goes to the Hall of Purity to find Zhongli, and feels guilty because he wants to rob the God of Rock.
So Dadalia walked around with Zhongli every day, yesterday at Liuli Pavilion, today at Crescent Pavilion, and tomorrow at Wanmin Hall.
Whenever he sees something strange on the road, Zhongli will stop, hold it in his hand and observe it for a while, then look at the orange-haired young man with an innocent expression.
Dadalia, whose guilt was rising, could only buy everything Zhongli liked.
Especially later, the young executive found something called the "Hundred-No-Taboo Barrel" in the Iwagami Tea Room.
From Zhongli's "unintentional" introduction, Dadalia learned about the role and function of this talisman.
With his character who fears chaos in the world and his mission to snatch the hearts of gods, Liyue's Rock God is probably in big trouble.
"Of course I believe sir, but..."
Dadalia hesitated for a while and sighed hesitantly.
He only accepted the task for the Queen's expectations.
Compared with other executives in Fools, he is really not good at calculations.
When I came to Liyue, I just wanted to see what the Yan God, the most powerful among the seven gods, was like, and how he compared with his master.
Even when facing the Rock God, Dadalia is still full of fighting spirit.
However, he is also self-aware that it is completely impossible to forcefully take out the heart of a god from the chest of a god like a lady.
Although he is keen on fighting, he is not that ignorant.
"Since Your Excellency, Your Excellency, believes in Zhong, you should be patient and wait."
Zhongli spoke again, his golden brown eyes looking particularly bright in the surrounding darkness.
Dadalia did not respond, but looked at Zhongli carefully with her dark blue eyes.
Human beings who emerge from the abyss are always filled with a strong desire to fight.
But it seems that most people in Liyue do not use force as a means of showing off.
It wasn't until by chance that Dadalia failed to control the erosion of the abyss during the battle, and was suppressed by Zhongli before going berserk, that I realized that the seemingly easy-going man with golden eyes was more than what he seemed.
I just don’t know how it will compare to myself when the Demon King is armed?
Thinking of this, Dadalia had an inexplicable smile on her face, licked her lips, and imitated the Liyue people and handed over her hands: "Then I will listen to your husband."
Zhongli nodded slightly, and the sea fog on the pier gradually thickened. In the port, a lighthouse built in the shape of the Heavenly Lord Shifting the Sky shone brightly in the thick fog, providing illumination for ships returning to the port at night.
Thousands of sails compete, the moon never falls.
On the first day he arrived at the Land of the Rock God, Dadalia was conquered by the beautiful scenery here.
In the distant winter, there is only endless tundra and white snow.
It's a pity when you think about it. If you take the Heart of the Rock God away, you will probably be permanently banned from setting foot on this land, right?
Dadalia shook her head regretfully and walked side by side with Zhongli.
In addition to buying things that Zhongli likes these days, he is preparing to send gifts to his family.
Liyue's brocades, silks, and fine wine brewed from sorghum, the ruins guard model designed by craftsmen, and some recipes that are not available in Zhidong... are now stored in the Bank of the North, waiting for the next merchant ship from Zhidong. "Mr. Zhongli, do you want to travel to Winter Country?"
Dadalia showed her white teeth and extended an invitation like a little fox.
According to the tacit rules of the Seven Gods, the gods of the other six countries will not easily set foot on the borders of other countries unless invited by the god himself.
Of course, Barbatos has always been an exception.
"No..."
Zhongli just wanted to refuse, but when he looked at the energetic young man in front of him and didn't want to hurt him, he frowned and hesitated: "Your Excellency, you should complete the task of fooling everyone first."
Every time he saw Dadalia's smile when he mentioned his younger brothers and sisters, Zhongli couldn't bear to look into his eyes.
Originally there would be light of hope and longing, but all Zhongli saw was the violence from the abyss and the body covered with scars.
I have received so many gifts from Dadalia, so I should do something for him.
This is the fairness in the heart of the God of Contract.
"When things are over, let's go to Winter Kingdom to see..."
Zhongli sighed slowly in his heart and allowed Dadalia to lead him towards the Northland Bank.
