Chapter 7: The Covenant of the Rock

The two imaginary demon gods, one big and one small, looked at each other and smiled, and left here together.

The two didn't go very fast, Zhongli seemed to be wandering leisurely, leading the bells and drums around Tianheng Mountain.

The residence of the Yakshas, the school grounds of the Millelith Army, and the courtyard where the immortals study their magic...... Zhongli took him to see them one by one, and seemed to have the intention of introducing him to the people and things on Tianheng Mountain.

This is a well-positioned military base and scientific research base, which is the positioning of Zhonggu on Tianheng Mountain.

"Come, take me, I'll take you to the top of the mountain."

After a turn, this journey of Zhongli as a tour guide did not seem to be over, and Zhong Gu looked at Zhongli's palm, which was a circle larger than himself, and tentatively shook it.

For a moment, the bell and drum felt as if they had melted into the earth, turning into rocks and flowing through them, and before he could react, that feeling was gone.

"Here you are, open your eyes."

It was as if the world had opened its arms to the bells and drums at this moment. From the top of the sky and the top of the clouds, the scenery of Liyue is so magnificent and vast.

The sea in the distance was sparkling, and from time to time huge sea beasts made waves, leaving dark shadows. Sea kites soar above the water, coldly swooping down to replenish food, setting off a short but brutal battle.

"That's the sea of clouds, and it's from here that the demon gods Oser and Orobus landed and constantly harassed the Tianheng defense line." ”

After Zhongli finished speaking, he pointed to the other side, which was a vast field, with strange traffic, houses, meandering rivers feeding the farmland on both sides, and people in the golden rice fields were busy harvesting this season's crops.

"That's the Qiongji Field, where humans have finally established a Guili Collection, persuaded farmers to cultivate mulberries, raise livestock, and build a stable homeland."

"Sister is so amazing!"

Zhongli raised his eyebrows and did not comment on it.

"Their peace and contentment are all based on the strict defense of other demon gods, and the demon god war does not know how long it will last, and the danger in it is unknown."

Zhong Gu is not really a child, so he naturally understands Zhongli's intention to show him all this.

"You want me to stay here and shelter humanity with you?"

"It's also for you to have a place to live, although you are a demon god, you are still too weak."

Zhongli also didn't treat him as a child, and the pros and cons were all clear to him.

"For us, each demon god represents a force, and only by uniting all the forces that can be united can we retain enough living space in this catastrophe."

"I will make a pact with you, and I will declare you to be a brother to the public until you grow up, and do everything in my power to protect you, but one day, you will also provide protection for the creatures of Liyue until Liyue no longer needs us."

"What, such a contract, it's like working here forever......" Zhong Gu joked with a smile, but he didn't feel bad.

If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world. This does not contradict the values in the memory of the bells.

"I promised, this contract is witnessed by heaven and earth."

"So, in my Morax, Zhongli's name."

"Take me Diracs...... The name of the bell and drum. ”

The bell and drum no longer hesitated, and said the name that could be in his consciousness, thus making his first contract with the demon god in Teyvat.

……

"By this proclamation, those who break their words deserve to be punished by eating rocks!"

After agreeing on the strategy, Zhong Gu felt a greater sense of belonging and pride as he looked from Tianheng Mountain to the land of Liyue.

It's like, "Look! This is what my brother has done! ”

Of course, the most important thing for the bell and drum now is its own safety. He will not completely entrust his net worth and life to others, but he will not abandon the kindness of others.

Especially now that he doesn't have the strength to take my own destiny seriously, but he knows that day won't be too far away.

The bell drum rubbed Rimuru in his arms, and the iron-gray slime looked at his master with some confusion.

"Obviously, the function of the leyline system has not been fully released, and Rimuru's consciousness is still only at the level of an ordinary slime, and it will take time to explore until the buried system really plays a role. Now all I can rely on is my own demon god talent. ”

Zhong Gu had some simple ideas in his heart and tried to consult Zhong Li.

"Zhongli ......"

"You and I have made a contract, and you may call me brother."

"That'...... Big Brother Zhongli? ”

Zhongli's expression softened for a moment, but he still asked in his usual tone:

"If there's any problem, just say it."

"That...... I don't seem to know much about my Demon God Almighty...... I'd like to ask my brother for advice. ”

"Oh? I heard you say that you should also be a member of the rock line, and the ability to separate and purify minerals is something that I can't easily do. ”

Naturally, Zhong Gu didn't think about hiding the matter of his dependents from the other party, after all, it was impossible for Rimuru to not be limited to people in the future, and his situation would be noticed sooner or later.

"Thanks to Sister Gui's help, otherwise, with my strength, I would definitely not have been able to successfully transform Rimuru...... Moreover, I was able to use the method of extracting mineral elements in Rimuru for a short time...... Unless...... Rimuru can grow into an existence equivalent to a demon god. ”

"So...... It's a bit hard. So, your power is not the attribute of rock? ”

"No, it's just that the elemental power of the rock attribute can be borrowed at the moment, like this......"

The bell flicked his palm, and a slender vein vine sprang out of the ground and obediently wrapped around the fingers of the bell.

"Rock Elemental Creation...... But the forces that drive the elements are not actually rock forces, and this way...... It's a bit similar to Ruoda. Can you tell me what you are powering? ”

"My power...... It's the door. But it is not a door in the ordinary sense, and I originally thought that the power of the door should be related to the concept of space...... But now, it seems, is not the case. ”

"The power of space belongs to a higher being, and it will never appear among us earthly demon gods...... It doesn't matter, you have enough time to familiarize yourself with your abilities, and feel free to discuss them with me if necessary. ”

"That's the best, then I'm ......"

"I'll talk about it later, someone is coming."

Zhongli raised his hand to stop what the bell drum was about to say, and looked up into the air.

A bird with a cloud feather on its head and a beaded chain hovered in the air, flapped its wings and landed in front of the two, and suddenly turned into a little boy.

"The bronze sparrow greets the king."

The voice of the bronze finch was crisp and seemed to be a little nervous, but a pair of eyes had a smile on their own, which seemed lively and smart.

"No need to be polite, Fusha sent you?"

"Brother Fusha asked me to invite you, the captured yaksha woke up yesterday and made a fuss, and it seems that he has not yet broken free from the influence of the demon god, and it just so happens that Lord Yaojun and Lord Mountain King have returned to Shenyu Valley, and everyone is helpless for a while......"

"What about Finale and Marcosius? Can't they have a way either? ”

"Lord Dust God is in a hurry to return to Liji, saying that there is someone from the salt in the ground, and as for Lord Stove God, he seems to have gone out to look for ingredients......"

"Got it, come with me."
