Chapter 423: Wherever the traveler passes, not a blade of grass grows!
"Since it's work, there's nothing you can do about it. As a guest at the Hall of Rebirth, you must respect this status."
Zhongli closed the contract and handed it back to Clement, then turned his head to look at the frowning traveler.
"Mr. Zhongli is indeed a reasonable person! Let's set off now!"
Clement urged impatiently, and Wanyan, who seized the opportunity, hurriedly covered her chest and leaned forward to introduce herself.
"Wait a minute, if it's archeology, can I go with you? I'm also an archaeologist and can provide a lot of help."
Zhongli did not refuse, his golden eyes flashed with nostalgia.
"As for the topic just now, let's continue talking about it when we have a chance on the road."
"By the way, Traveler...and Famas, you guys should come too."
Famas curled his lips when he heard what the other party said, but still walked behind Zhongli with his arms crossed.
He suddenly remembered that he had met the Salt Demon God before, and even invited her to join the Golden Alliance or seek asylum from other Demon Gods.
But Heulia hesitantly rejected his proposal, and hoped that Famas and his subordinate soldiers would leave the salt soil as soon as possible.
Because she felt that the God of War would bring disaster and misfortune to this land.
Completely different from the thinking of the Demon God of Salt, is the [King of Man] who governs the salt soil.
He has ambitions and beliefs that are completely opposite to Heulia's. During the brief period when Munata's army was stationed in the salt soil, he met with the God of War many times under the pretext of hoping to establish trade relations with Munata through the salt industry and import advanced weapons and equipment.
Battle training blueprint.
However, this secret transaction was soon discovered and stopped by Heulia. Famas also had to leave the Salt Land early to support Mondstadt's resistance war due to adjustments in rear strategic deployment.
They do not seek cooperation or face the enemy head-on, thinking that if they give up before a fight occurs, the war will never affect themselves and their people.
This "Salt Demon God" named Heulia is really too naive to be like a demon.
In a war of absolute opposition, there is no room for a third outcome other than victory and death.
Famas lamented Heulia's stubbornness in his heart, but the travelers who heard Zhongli's invitation shook their heads hesitantly.
"But I have no research on archeology..."
Zhongli obviously didn't care about this. After looking at Famas calmly, he explained to Yingmei:
"The following experience may be helpful to you on your future journey."
"That was a story before the establishment of the Seven Gods System... Although the Demon God has passed away and cannot be the target of your search, at least it can add some meaning to your travels."
Seeing Zhongli inviting more and more people, Clement suddenly reacted and waved his hand hurriedly.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Zhongli, this is an archaeological team, not a sightseeing group. There are too many people!"
Zhongli remained calm and calm as he introduced Clement.
"But of my two friends, one is very powerful and has extensive knowledge from ancient times to the present; the other has an unparalleled talent for treasure hunting, which will be of great benefit to our archaeological trip."
Hearing Zhongli praising himself, Zui Ying and Paimon put their hands on their hips at the same time, acting like they were experts.
Clement was also shocked by the gestures of the two men, and followed the words and asked:
"Oh? What kind of talent is it?"
Zhong Li narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said the most unreliable words in a serious tone: "That's right...she will never miss any treasure chest within sight."
"Hahaha..."
Famas, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help laughing, and Yingmei didn't know whether to put down her hands on her hips.
Fortunately, she thought it was some unrivaled talent, and she had put on a cool pose in advance. But fortunately, Zhongli didn't say that this talent was that she could sing a song that attracts scammers.
Paimon was actually very proud, holding his head high and showing that he was also very good at finding treasure chests.
"Yes, yes, I can prove that this traveler is really good at finding treasure chests!"
Famas applauded with joy.
Zhongli actually underestimated Xiying's ability to find valuable items.
There are more than just treasure chests, unclaimed books on the tea table, radish tomatoes on the cart, sundown fruits in the haystacks, hundreds of moras in the adventurer's camp, and various jade and silk materials hidden in the corners...
Travelers will not miss every plant or tree in their field of vision.
How else would you be able to support Paimon who eats and drinks all day long?
"...It is indeed a bit attractive, okay, okay."
Clement thought for a moment and agreed to join the travelers and Famas.
As a result, such a patchwork and complex archaeological team was formally established.
"Without further ado, let's go to the place called Guyun Pavilion first."
"When the Whirlpool Demon God was suppressed by Qun Jade Pavilion not long ago, would something wash ashore?"
"Whether it's antiquities or traces, it would be even better if there are a few fragments of the Demon God's limbs... In short, we might be able to gain something big."
Clement’s next sentence is more like trying to hide the truth. It is obvious that he is not a serious archaeologist.
"Then, let's set off."
Zhongli didn't care about Clement's little thoughts. He looked at Wan Yan whose eyes were full of expectation, nodded and led everyone back to the South Pier, renting a boat to Guyun Pavilion offshore Yunlai.
Half an hour later, several people finally arrived near Guyun Pavilion.
Deep into the bottom of the sea, huge rock spears that have long been broken stand high on the sea. Looking around, the strangely shaped cliffs are continuous, seeming to form layers of barriers.
The flow of earth veins here is very interesting. It is more active and rhythmic than other places in Liyue... It seems that there is some unyielding power hidden under the sea, which is pulsing weakly.
】
Everyone stepped onto the beach, and Zhongli explained: "According to legend, the Rock King used rocks as spears and threw them into the sea to pierce and suppress the devil. Those rock spears experienced years of weathering and eventually formed this unique
Scene."
Paimon's eyes widened: "This, such a big mountain, is actually the weapon of Lord Yan?"
Zhongli nodded and spoke in a tone of bystander.
"What remains before our eyes today is just the tip of the iceberg."
"The number and volume of the rock guns dropped by the emperor were far greater than this. However, due to the different angles and the huge size of the cylinders, many of them sank to the bottom of the sea due to erosion by seawater or the influence of gravity." The continuous mountains are just weapons thrown by the rock god. After countless years of weathering and erosion, the wreckage displayed in front of people is still spectacular.
Some people will marvel at the power of gods, while others put themselves on the opposite side of such power from the beginning.
"This is...the power of the Rock God."
Wan Yan murmured, so excited that he couldn't help but tremble.
"Sure enough... Morax killed Lady Heulia in this way."
When you see the power of the gods, you realize how insignificant your own body is.
The world is vast, and when you see a powerful enemy like a towering mountain, you will feel intimidated when you look at it.
Everyone was sighing at the power of the Rock God, but Famas looked at Zhongli who was telling the story lightly with disgust.
Blow, keep blowing.
According to legend, you are clearly talking about your autobiography.
