Chapter 303: Don’t ask, you just don’t understand if you ask
"The problem may not be with you..."
Contrary to Famas' expectations, Zhongli sighed for a long time, then rewinded his memory and deduced a sad truth.
Famas seemed to be planning to enjoy the flowers, but was frightened by his silent appearance, so he accidentally broke the glazed lily.
I am used to hiding my movements when I am wandering around in the world, but this time I am self-defeating.
"You may have heard some legends that the glazed lily is the dust god's favorite flower. It once grew in large numbers in Dihua Continent. However, at the end of the Demon God War, Dihua Continent was flooded and the glazed lily was almost extinct."<
/p>
Zhongli stared regretfully at the few remaining glass lilies in the distance, and habitually began to popularize science. Famas, while Zhongli was not paying attention, quietly threw the remaining glass lily fragments into the lake. p>
In Zhongli's knowledge, the young man in front of him didn't know the story of Glazed Lily. Although the other party had once fought against Teyvat, the legend about Guiliji happened after the young man was sealed.
Seeing that Zhongli showed no signs of taking action, Famas breathed a sigh of relief and quietly changed the subject: "Are they all extinct?"
"Yes, Liyue Port still retains some artificially cultivated varieties, but wild ones are very rare."
Zhongli clasped his hands behind his back, letting the cold night wind blow his clothes and face, silently staring at the boy's small movements with his stone-colored pupils, and his words gradually stopped.
"You don't want me to compensate you, do you? I don't have the habit of hiding private money."
Being stared at by Zhongli with horror, Famas shrank his neck and spoke.
"Although I can arrest Wendy and sell her songs to make money, but if the West Wind Church finds out, it might cause a serious diplomatic incident..."
The young man smiled and said unreliable remarks. Even if the wild glazed lily was precious, Zhongli would not chase others for compensation for such a trivial matter. Even when Hu Tao was a child, he played house with his antique sculptures every day. As a guest,
Mr. Zhong didn't take it to heart.
"If you are determined to make compensation, you might as well use the power of war to recreate the phantom of the original battlefield of Guili in ancient times."
"I want to know the truth about death and the passing of Yixiao."
Although he was asking someone to do something, Zhongli still took it as a matter of course.
Famas, who heard Zhongli's request clearly, almost didn't take it in one breath, his brain running at high speed.
As the former God of War, he can indeed use his divine power to recreate the war scene on any battlefield.
But the phantom of the original battle at Guili must not be seen by Zhongli, especially at the boundary between life and death, Famas reappeared inadvertently, and the scene where Munata led Vikas to assassinate the dust god returned to his death.
Although Vikas was also bewitched by some force majeure, if Zhongli knew that he would eventually die at the hands of the Munata Expeditionary Force, he might be furious on the spot, followed by a set of heaven-shaking combos.
"I can't completely recreate the battlefield that was so long ago."
"But I remember Fei Tuo... Can't Ruo Tuo Dragon King be able to [use stones as eyes]? Why not let him see?"
Famas immediately pretended to be innocent and tried to test him.
Xumi scholars have long proven that minerals also have memories, and they occasionally record what happens around them and preserve them for thousands of years. The Ruotuo Dragon King, who was born from a stubborn stone, happens to have the ability to view the memory of minerals. As long as you touch and feel with your heart, you can see the phantoms of the past.
But this is not omniscient and omnipotent. It also depends on the specific type of ore. Common ores such as iron ore and marcasite are basically useless, and the memory is quite vague. However, stone amber and crystal have stronger memory capabilities and can record images.
More and clearer.
"Well, Ruotuo can indeed check the memory of the ore, but the battlefield was rushed, and Guiliji suffered a disaster after the melee. Even if he deliberately searched for it, he couldn't tell which stone had the image of the Guiliyuan battle."<
/p>
Zhongli's face showed a rare dignified look, and he stared at Famas firmly.
I want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and carry wine with me, but I regret that I am an old friend. When will we see you again?
As the Rock King who has existed for thousands of years and has experienced the war between demons and gods, Zhongli is indifferent to most things.
He has met countless people, and will meet countless people again, but the voices and smiles of his old friends are a rare and warm memory for the emperor.
Seeing the nostalgic look on Zhongli's face, Famas waved his hands with a headache. He was about to think of some excuse to stop Zhongli's curiosity to find out the truth, but he heard rustling noises coming from the beach in the distance. p>
Distinguish carefully, such as chewing and conversation sounds.
"I know I was wrong... next time I eavesdrop... I won't let my stomach growl again..."
An aggrieved voice came from behind Famas. Zhongli had recovered from his state of nostalgia. He first looked in the direction of the visitor in confusion, and then laughed dumbly.
Famas turned around and happened to see Grinning Traveler holding a large piece of fisherman's toast and stuffing it into Paimon's mouth. The little mascot's face and belly were bulging, and it looked like a lot of it had been stuffed into it.
Food, trying hard to cover his mouth with his fleshy little hands, refusing to feed the girl.
Seeing Zhongli and Famas with smiles on their faces from a distance, Paimon grasped at straws like a life-saving straw. Tears flashed in his lavender eyes. He tried hard to escape from Ying's clutches and hid behind Famas, crying.
Then he grabbed the boy's collar tightly.
"Zhongli...there is also a stinky guarantee guy!"
"Help! The traveler wants to eat Paimon to death with wild mushroom chicken skewers, grilled mushroom pizza, molasses, and fisherman's toast..."
Paimeng hid between Zhongli and Famas, sticking out his little head in fear, secretly looking at the approaching girl, but subconsciously chewing the toast slices that he had not yet swallowed.
As expected of Paimon, he didn't forget to swallow the food in his mouth at a moment like this.
"Traveler, Paimon, it seems there are some interesting misunderstandings between you?"
Zhongli spoke at the right time, the red eyes at the end also brought a hint of smile, and the white jade pendants on his earlobes swayed with his movements.
"It's not a misunderstanding, I just want to eat the cutest Lord Paimon in the Tewater continent to death with delicious food!"
Paimon retorted angrily, with half-moon eyes exposed from his hands on his hips, and the frightened little mascot quickly shrank back behind Famas.
"So, what happened?"
Famas pulled out Paimeng who was hiding behind him, grabbed the little mascot's bulging face in a funny way, and turned to look at the angry blond girl beside him.
"That's it..."
There was a slight hesitation in Ying's tone as she recounted her and Paimon's experiences, emphasizing that the Fools were copying the All-Absence Barrier with the power of the Rock King.
"Is that so?"
Zhongli understood in his heart, but he still pretended to have just received the news.
"Fools have always been like this, I'm not surprised at all."
"No matter what the fools are planning, in short, when dealing with them, be more careful in everything."
As if he didn't want to get too entangled in the conspiracy of the fools, Zhongli lowered his eyes calmly, crossed his arms, and responded slowly.
"It's just that the sound in the stomach after smelling the aroma of food is just a human instinctive reaction."
"Although it affects intelligence collection, it cannot be entirely attributed to Paimon."
Zhongli thought very seriously for a moment, and then explained the blond girl's eavesdropping behavior in another way.
"Yes, yes, in order to save money for me, I already eat very little every day..."
Upon hearing Zhongli's words, Paimeng hurriedly opened his eyes and nodded. He stretched out his hands and rushed towards Zhongli who was speaking for him, but the other party sided away.
"Really, let me calculate carefully..."
Ying rolled her eyes in disbelief, stared at the proud Paimon, and stretched out her fingers to count: "This morning Paimon ate three plates of tender chicken with chili peppers, two meat rolls stuffed with pine mushrooms, and a large glass of grapes.
For lunch, I ate jade assorted bags and Zhongyuan offal from Wanmintang. In the evening, in addition to the main meal, I also bought a lot of snacks at the food stall..."
Every time the blond girl announced the name of a dish, the smile on Zhongli's face stiffened a bit, and then he stared at Paimon, who was gradually becoming embarrassed, with a scrutinizing look.
"Cough cough cough... please stop talking!"
Paimon flew back to the girl, pressed Ying's face, and finally remembered the purpose of the two coming here.
"Speaking of which, Zhongli...and Famas."
"Is there anything needed for the ceremony of sending immortals in Dihuazhou?"
