"Due to Heulia's ban, the King of Man's plan to regain his homeland was put on hold indefinitely, and the concession of the Salt of the Earth continued until a vanguard force calling itself the "Munata United Front Propaganda Committee" set foot on the salt
The territory of the devil."
Different from the solemn concentration of the travelers, Famas, as the person involved, did not seem to feel any tension at all. Instead, he was leaning on the guardrail next to the canal leisurely, and even caught Zhongli taking a breather. He was still in a good mood.
A confused Paimon added:
"The organizational structure and responsibilities of the Unified Propaganda Committee are relatively complicated. If Paimeng doesn't understand it, you can simply understand it as Munata's diplomatic mission."
"Hey! Damn Famas! I understand!"
Paimon waved her little fist in protest at Famas, but she really didn't understand what the Munata Propaganda Committee was before Famas explained it.
Zhongli's narration was interrupted by this brief interlude. The retired Mr. Keqing looked at Famas with doubts, as if he was very puzzled by the young man's relaxed state.
But Zhongli did not show any emotion. He coughed slightly to draw everyone's attention back, and continued using Famas's expression:
"After Munata's diplomatic mission entered the Salt of the Earth, they wanted to invite the King of Salt Earth to join the alliance agreement called "Gold", but they were also blocked and rejected by Heulia."
"After seeing off Munata's diplomatic mission, Heulia informed Gui Liji about the matter and reminded Gui Liji to be wary of enemies far away... This is the second time that the Kingdom of War appears in the earth.
Salt."
When Zhongli mentioned the name of the girl with wide sleeves, there was a brief pause in Zhongli's words, but he soon returned to normal speaking speed. However, at this moment, Paimon and the traveler still did not understand what Mr. Ke Qing wanted to express, so they had to say if
Continue listening thoughtfully.
"You two must be impatient, but the previous background is just a foreshadowing. The strange thing is that the Munata people appeared in the Salt of the Earth for the third time... Many of the news this time were final oral reports.
At this time, I am in the process of clearing out monsters along the coast, so I have no time to separate myself."
Zhongli stood with his hands behind his back. The traveler looked down and seemed to see Zhongli's arm covered behind him. The dazzling golden color spread from the depths of the emperor's sleeves, as if the entire arm under the clothes was cut with the clearest amber.
It is chiselled, making people wonder about the internal structure.
However, this scene is obviously just an illusion, because Zhongli's arms are usually covered tightly by clothing and gloves. Not to mention his arms, not even his fingers can be seen.
"The third time, Harpas, the God of War, personally led the army from the far west to support Old Mondstadt in the war against the cruel rule of the Gale Demon God "Diecalapian". In the middle of the war, he briefly resupplied and repaired at the Salt of the Earth...
…Coincidentally, the year after Harpas left the Salt of the Earth, the Salt God Heulia died due to the betrayal of the King of Men.”
"The weapon used to assassinate Heulia came from a gift from Harpas, and the King of Salt Earth had a long conversation with the Munata leader named "Singh" beside the war lord, although the specific details are no longer available.
I don't know, but judging from the images in the rock, the general content should be related to the "Golden Alliance"."
"The most suspicious thing is the ring on the leader's hand... I have heard about Munata's early right-of-way war... The mortal who finally cut off the head of the demon god "Spernak" must be the leader, right?
?”
Zhongli's narration ended here. Although he used a questioning tone, Famas did not hear any wavering in the other party's words. It was obvious that Mr. Keqing was extremely convinced of the results of his and Ruotuo's investigations.
While Paimon was still wondering who the "Demon of Horns" was, the traveler had already heard the profound meaning in Zhongli's words, and looked at Famas with disbelief but anticipation.
Following Mr. Zhongli's gaze downward, the traveler also saw the silver ring on Famas's hand.
"So much nonsense has been laid... Morax, what you want to say is that I ordered my men to instigate the King of Salt Earth Men to conspire to kill the Salt God Heulia?"
Famas was not as angry and defensive as he imagined when his plan was exposed. He asked indifferently, while Zhongli also behaved as he should. He spread his hands, his action clearly meant to say: "What else?
"
Paimon belatedly covered his mouth, while Famas nodded and admitted simply:
"I should congratulate you, Morax, your deduction is basically correct."
"But I only accelerated Heulia's death... After all, I just handed a sword to the King of Men, and the sword in his heart was made by Heulia herself."
Although he showed no concern, Famas still defended himself for a while, and then Paimon, who came back to his senses, hid behind the traveler, only showing his head and asked Famas: "But He Wu
Isn't Leah very weak? Why..."
"Before explaining this issue, would Paimon want to know why the Chilong invaded Heulia's territory?"
The corners of Famas' mouth raised upward, and the smile that should have been sunny and cheerful was full of sarcasm.
"Isn't it just blaming each other... Why don't you come and listen to the history I know?"
Paimeng opened his mouth and did not ask why, but Zhongli rarely frowned, as if the thick curtain finally opened the gap. At a certain moment, the traveler vaguely glimpsed some of the cruelty and indifference that a superior person should have on Zhongli's face.
.
"At that time, the "Two Kings of Guili" were powerful. Rock King Morax used the name of "In this world, demons and gods have risen together. Although I have no intention of competing, I know the suffering of the people." He continued to clear out the demon gods near Guiliji.
The alien species, Chilong from Qingce Village is also among them."
"Chilong cannot fight against the two kings of Guili, so it will naturally swing its sword at the weaker one, and Heulia is obviously the unfortunate "weak one"."
Famas crossed his arms, as if he saw the confusion between the traveler and Paimon. He also followed Mr. Keqing's example and told the background of the Demon War period, but the young man's tone was more straightforward than Zhongli's.
"The lands now called Dihuazhou, Bishui River, and Shimen by Liyue people once belonged to the salt god Heulia. There are many dingzhus here, the land is fertile, and the mineral resources near the sea are rich. They are extremely suitable for human development.
area."
"Although the land in Guguiliji is also suitable for farming, its development is extremely restricted. There is a whirlpool demon raging in the south. To the east and west are mountains with high mountains and deep valleys, crisscrossed ravines, and large stretches of deserted seaside beaches."
"If Morax wants to expand his territory, he can only engage in a protracted tug-of-war with Osel, the overlord of the shallow sea...or he can seek the land of Heulia and Chilong."
After telling this series of backgrounds, Famas paused for a moment, but the traveler noticed that Zhongli's usual calm and strategizing expression had completely disappeared, replaced by a wordless silence that travelers rarely see.
.
"Unfortunately, Heulia has a good relationship with Hargentus, and the Salt Mother's reputation for kindness is well known to everyone. Morax once said, "Purge all directions, just to protect a corner of the floating world." For the reputation and reputation of the two kings of Dust and Rock,
Oath, he obviously cannot and will not lead troops to attack other demon gods without any reason."
"What's more, although Heulia is weak, she is still a demon with personality. Even if it is not difficult to kill her, the disintegration of the remains after the demon's death will make the land of Dihuazhou no longer suitable for human habitation...
Therefore, if you want to expand Guiliji’s territory, you must find a way to do it without losing any blood.”
"It just so happens that the Chilong next door has a violent temperament, likes living sacrifices, and often eats human flesh, which makes humans and gods angry. What's even more coincidental is that the Chilong is just a natural alien species. It is powerful but does not have the status of a demon god. Even if it dies, the abnormality it causes will not be too big.
, at least not as far as the Chidi Qianli after the demon god disintegrated, and the debris was raging."
"So, the conspiracy called "Driving the Tiger to Eat the Wolf" came into being."
