Chapter 518: There are always humans looking up at the stars
"Changsheng, have you noticed the Eye of God on Mr. Famas's waist?"
Baizhu's voice was gentle and clear, but the gradually deepening ending could not hide the fatigue in it.
"It's a very delicate external elemental power organ. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Changsheng hissed the snake letter, as if he felt that Bai Zhu wanted to take off the opponent's Eye of God for research, so he couldn't help but remind him: "Don't you have this thing yourself? You can just take it off when you want to see it."
"...Don't be stupid, the Eye of God on Mr. Famas's waist is fake." Bai Shu shook his head helplessly, pulled the collar of his cloak, and coughed twice: "That's probably
Glass souvenirs produced in Mondstadt.”
"A souvenir... That's not a rarity, it's probably a personal hobby?"
Changsheng still couldn't understand what Bai Zhu wanted to express, and tilted her head to think, but soon she came to her senses and asked Bai Zhu in surprise:
"Are you saying that he, like the traveler, can use elemental power without going through the Eye of God?"
"No, I'm afraid the truth is more complicated than we thought."
To put it bluntly, the temperature remained gentle, but there was no smile on his face.
Just now, in order to reach the Northland Bank as quickly as possible, Famas used elemental power to rush on. Although the sparks were not obvious, how could Bai Shu, who was also the original god, not sense it.
If Famas could only use elemental power without relying on the Eye of God, Bai Shu wouldn't be so shocked. What made him dumbfounded was that the other party's method of using elemental power completely violated the existing universal laws of the Teyvat continent.
Although magic exists in the continent of Teyvat, its essence can still be recognized by mortals. In other words, the source and destination of the elemental power in the entire world can be analyzed by human knowledge. Then the world will definitely run according to a law whose origin cannot be verified:
"Elements all have their origins, and casting spells requires a price."
If it is really difficult to understand, you can think of this sentence as the law of conservation of energy in the magic world. The popular explanation is that the elemental power used and generated when releasing magic is not generated out of thin air, but widely exists in the world. For example, the elemental power of rock is rich.
The Liyue earth veins are concentrated, the Nata volcano where the fire elemental power is accumulated, and even the air that everyone is breathing.
The original gods call upon the ubiquitous elemental power through the Eye of God to construct creations, stir up wind and waves, ignite fire and conduct water, condense ice and induce thunder, but the essence of these actions is only to guide the elemental power from one place to another.
Places shift and change, but the total amount of elemental power remains roughly the same.
Unless the legendary great mage or great alchemist opens the door to the world and introduces power that does not belong to the Teyvat continent into this world, this most basic law can be fundamentally changed.
When Famas used elemental power just now, the gathered fire elements seemed to be born out of thin air. As long as you observe carefully, you can feel that the total amount of elemental power around the boy suddenly increased for no reason, although it eventually dispersed into the air.
, but the level of enrichment at that moment can be called Liyue’s paradise of immortality.
"Changsheng, do you think Mr. Famas looks like a magician or an alchemist?"
Baizhu suddenly spoke, but Changsheng and he already had the same mind, so naturally they would not feel abrupt due to the change of topic.
"Not...in terms of this demeanor, more like a silly young master from a rich family?"
It is difficult for the snake head to express rich expressions, otherwise Chang Sheng would definitely curl his lips in disgust at this moment.
How can anyone open a gift in front of the giver?
When Bai Shu heard this, he nodded in a daze. He didn't know whether he agreed or disagreed. He just looked at the morning light in the sky and whispered softly: "In this case... that's the only possibility left..."
Except for the so-called great magicians and alchemists, there is only one kind of being in this world who can not abide by the most basic law of conservation of elements, and can mediate creation and return to heaven, because their great power originates from themselves.
Those are the seven rulers above the sky.
Before dawn in the port city, the cold wind blew into the bone marrow with dampness. Baizhu's constitution destined him to be sensitive to the weather. When he was so aroused by the cold wind, he shivered again. He tried to stand up, but failed.
Unexpectedly, I almost rolled down the steps.
Fortunately, Agui, who was grinding medicine in the backyard of Bubulu, noticed the clues. After calling the master several times to no avail, he put down the medicine grinder in confusion and came to the front of the house. He happened to see Baizhu slumped on the long steps and the anxious man.
I have to shake my head but can't do anything to live forever.
"...Master! Master Bai Shu, are you okay?"
Agui trotted to Baizhu's side. After confirming that his master had just lost strength, he carefully helped him back to the hut to rest.
Famas, who had already entered Beiguo Bank, was not aware of what happened before Bu Lu, nor did he know that in the brief contact just now, Baizhu had mistakenly guessed his identity based on some clues.
However, even if Famas knew about it, he wouldn't care too much, and might even recommend Baizhu to give up his career as a doctor and open a detective agency in Inazuma or Fontaine.
This kind of ability to see the subtle things is really an incompetence for a doctor in Liyue.
Compared with the chaos over Bubulu, Northland Bank was much quieter. Especially after Pantalone arrived, the whole building seemed to have found a backbone and began to revolve around the office on the top floor of the bank. The debts coming and going were
The handler's shadow flickered between the dim golden candlesticks and the crystal array.
Different from the antiquity of Liyue and Xumi, and even more different from Mondstadt's voice of freedom, many decorations inside the Northland Bank are made of solid and cold steel. Large pieces of translucent crystal float on the dome, attracting Biyue.
The cooler color of the sky between the stones.
The bank receptionist Ekaterina was looking through the contract ledger in preparation for the upcoming work report.
The person she reported to was Master Pantalone. This name was once worthless, but now it is equal to the gods. As long as Mora needs to live, these two names cannot be ignored:
Morax, the rock god of Liyue, and Pantalone, the executive of the Winter Kingdom.
Putting aside Pantalone's status as an executive of Fools, his achievements in the financial industry alone are enough to be engraved on the honor wall of Teyvat History Museum... The mortal who built Teyvat's new financial rules model formulated
Including a series of industry system standards for insurance, credit, financing, etc., this model was imitated by the seven countries of Teyvat, and gradually formed the financial context of the entire continent.
If Morax created the economic environment of the Teyvat continent with his flesh and blood, then Pantalone constructed the economic rules of the Teyvat continent with his wisdom.
And now the creator of the new economic system is sitting on the velvet chair on the top floor of Northland Bank, with his hands covered with rings folded under his chin, squinting and smiling as he listens to a debt collector's report on the current status of the operation.
The gems adorning the neckline of the big banker shone brightly, and the soft light rubbed against his outline. Coupled with the backlight, it seemed as if he was blending into the background and disappearing.
Even so, the debt collector who reported the report did not dare to neglect at all, and even lowered his head the whole time to describe the unexpected situation during the operation.
Opposite Pantalone's long dark office table, a square of Liyue greased paper was spread out to hold pastries.
Famas, who was sitting in front of the oiled paper, was holding tea and eating sticky bean cakes. From time to time, he would look up at Pantalone, who was turning a blind eye to him, and the debt collector who was telling him confidential information. He had no sense of being an outsider.
