Ninglan thought that her explanation was straightforward enough, so she stopped talking and waited for Zhongli's response.蕠
The reason why the Seven Stars became the Seven Stars is that, in addition to their own strategies and abilities, the most important thing is to express God's will and seek the emperor's opinion.
The remaining forces in Liyue are also bound by the supreme authority and power of Emperor Yanwang. This makes Liyue like a chariot, and each force is a part of the chariot, forced to be glued together by divine power.
Rumbling crushes the obstacles on the way forward.
But now that the emperor has passed away, without the powerful glue of divine power, several major forces in Hong Kong may fall apart in an instant. When civil strife breaks out, the country will be in danger.
Why can Ningguang, a poor girl, be able to join the ranks of Tianquan, but we and other wealthy families can't?
After listening to Ninglan's kind reminder, Zhongli was silent for a long time, then lowered his eyes and asked: "If what I predict is correct... Miss Ninglan, you don't belong to the faction that supports Tianquan Star, right?"
"Mr. Zhongli's guess is good."
Ning Lan's voice suddenly became very cold, but it contained something hot. Even if she suppressed it deliberately, she couldn't hide the emotion behind the voice that was about to explode like lava: "I come from Yinyuan Hall, although I belong to the General Affairs Department.
jurisdiction, but still has sufficient autonomy.”蕠
"Excuse me, why would Miss Ninglan risk telling us these secrets?"
Zhongli didn't seem to be worried about the upcoming usurpation of the throne and the country, but was extremely interested in Ninglan's origins.
"Me?"
Ninglan didn't expect Zhongli to react like this. She turned to look at the serious traveler next to her and gritted her teeth in response.
"I just don't want the travelers who saved Liyue... no... the innocent people to be harmed..."
"I don't want that false god's ceremony to be successfully held."
"Morax... once assassinated our god, [Salt Demon God] Heulia, in a dishonorable way, and tried to seize her power..." 蕠
Another bombshell was dropped, and Paimon and Traveler were shocked. The two women simultaneously turned to look at Zhongli, who looked calm.
"That's it... The Rebirth Hall will consider these situations carefully."
"Thank you very much Miss Ninglan for the reminder."
Zhongli nodded politely in agreement, and did not explain his next actions, nor did he pay attention to the strange looks in the eyes of the travelers and Paimon, but the meaning between the lines was obviously that he was preparing to see off the guests.
"Please wait, Mr. Zhongli, traveler... I have another unkind request."
As a staff member of the Yinyuan Hall, Ning Lan naturally understood the meaning of Zhongli's words, but she still shamelessly stopped everyone again: "I want to ask this great hero who saved Liyue if he has time to accept me.
An investigative commission."
"Huh? Commission?"
Upon hearing the request, the traveler and Paimon instinctively tilted their heads, causing each other to purse their lips and smile.
"I have long heard that the famous traveler... is short of money, and is busy every day earning the measly little mora from the Adventurers Association."
"Please rest assured that this commission has nothing to do with the power struggle in Liyue. It is just some personal matters of mine."
Ying and Paimon looked at each other.
The two of them had just taken a lot of valuable antiques from Zhongli, and they knew that such a commission would involve extremely complicated events, so it was better to stay away from it.
The traveler winked at Paimon, and just as the little mascot was about to refuse, Famas, who was sitting in the hall watching the show, suddenly appeared, quickly covered Paimon's mouth, and nodded in agreement. p>
"No problem, Miss Ninglan, it's their honor."
Ninglan was obviously surprised by Famas's actions, but she quickly reacted and took out a large bag of heavy mola from the pocket of her half-collar.
"This bag of mola is a deposit."
"Yinyuan Department is in charge of all the salt mine excavation and sea salt drying in Liyue. After the investigation results come out, we will still be grateful."
Paimon finally opened Famas's hand and was just about to protest against the other party's behavior when his eyes were attracted by the sudden appearance of the golden and shiny Mora. He secretly glanced at the traveler who was covering his forehead and sighing, and flew over happily.
Next to Ning Lan, he took the mola bag.
"Hmm... Seeing as you came here to remind us that there is something wrong with the ceremony of sending immortals..."
"I entrusted this...no, this entrustment...she accepted it!"
Paimon pointed at Yingying and Famas with his fingers, and then quickly hid behind everyone, counting the number of Mora like a little money man.蕠
The traveler had to endure the shame and asked about the specific content of Ninglan's commission.
"Hmm...how should I explain it to you better?"
Ning Lan, who was carrying a book box, nodded, thought for a moment and then began to talk about the specific matters of the commission.
"Although I don't want to admit it, Morax can be regarded as the parent of Liyue Port. Through the ages, the devil has conquered and fought fiercely for thousands of years without ever losing. His existence is indeed like the sun and the sky, and the rivers and the sea; and like a towering rock.
Rock, eternal and immortal."
Ning Lan sneered and said a poem praising Morax. Her pale face and sarcastic expression made the traveler frown involuntarily.
"You are also the "original god" who can use elemental power. I think you understand this much more deeply than I do... A being like him can be easily shaken by the so-called "ancient demon god"... Heh, listen to this
It feels like a dream, doesn't it?"
Listening to Ning Lan's story, Ying had a vague premonition. 蕠
"Perhaps the noble Qixing felt that the common people could not understand the difference between Morax and the immortals, so he found a reason to conclude the matter, thinking that he could stop the world from talking."
At this point, everyone had guessed what Ning Lan wanted to entrust the travelers to investigate, but Zhongli, as the person involved, remained silent without saying a word.
He watched what was happening in front of him, but did not intend to interfere, just as he allowed the big ship named Liyue to drift with the current, watching from the shore as it was carried far away by the rolling waves.
As for whether the ship will eventually hit the rocks or sink, and whether it can reach the other side of the ocean, this is not what he, the person who got off the ship, needs to worry about.
"Then what do you want...?"
Ying Mei accepted Ning Lan’s story with great support.
"I want a truth."蕠
"The emperor died. The power and wealth he left behind will be taken over by others. The same is true for this country. I don't care. The only thing I want to know is the cause of his death."
"Assassination or war? Murder or an accident?"
The moment Ninglan finished speaking, the traveler seemed to hear Zhongli sighing softly beside him.
Little Paimon, who was counting money next to him, also heard the specific content of the commission and hurriedly flew to the traveler's ear and whispered.
"Ying, do you think we should tell her that Zhongli is actually the King of Rock..."
"And there are two million molayes in the bag! It's also a deposit...Miss Ninglan is really rich!"
The traveler knocked the emergency food on his head angrily, and was about to reject the commission. Unexpectedly, Zhongli, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke: "Since the traveler has accepted this commission, I will also contribute."
Bar."蕠
A friendly smile as usual appeared on Zhongli's face, and he discussed the cause of his death in a calm tone.
"In view of the fact that Qixing has concluded the matter, if we want to know the true cause of the emperor's death, we must have conclusive evidence."
"After the ceremony of inviting the immortal, the place responsible for the initial processing of the immortal ancestor's transformation... is the Rebirth Hall."
