Chapter 8 I want to join

In the candlelit room, Xia Wei and Zhongli sat opposite each other.

"Today we are talking about my last contract with Liyue, and the bargaining chip with you is my Godheart." Zhongli said with his arms around his chest and in a calm tone.

Xia Wei's expression was also rare serious, and he looked at Zhongli and wanted to hear him talk about the specific details of the contract.

"On the day of the Immortal Ceremony, I will pretend to be a backstab and die, and Liyue will lose its gods from now on, the era of theocracy is over, and now it is the age of man

But I can't just leave like that, and I need your help before I really let go, and I'm going to need your help

The Demon God of the Vortex Othello, who was suppressed in the Lonely Cloud Pavilion, his seal is about to be broken, maybe in the near future, but I don't want to wait anymore

I will teach you how to copy the Hundred No Forbidden Urns, and you will be responsible for using the power of the Hundred No Forbidden Rings to completely unseal the Demon God of the Vortex. ”

Zhongli stopped when he said this, and Xia Wei looked at him curiously, "Is that all we have to do?" Don't need our help to deal with that Othello? ”

"No, this crisis must be resolved by the people of Liyue themselves, and the Seven Stars of Liyue will prove to everyone that even if Liyue loses its gods, they can still protect Liyue's peace." Zhongli explained.

"But what if the Seven Stars of Liyue can't solve the Demon God Osir of the Vortex?" Xia Wei asked again.

"Then I will use my remaining strength to end my last contract with Liyue with a light hand."

Hearing Zhongli's words, Xia Wei fell into deep thought, and suddenly he remembered the gaze of the immortals he felt in the Peerless Clouds during the day and asked, "I heard that the Emperor of the Rock King once fought with the Immortals of the Peerless Clouds to pacify the territory of Liyue, and just ceded the right to govern Liyue, wouldn't those immortals have an opinion?" ”

Zhongli shook his head slightly, "I should have written to inform you Empress of what to do, and she should also inform you of the specific matters." ”

Only then did Xia Wei remember the task list that Tartaglia showed him during the day, and there was a detailed plan to intensify the contradictions between the immortals.

"So you wrote that task list!" Xia Wei was surprised.

"Exactly." Zhongli nodded slightly in agreement.

The specific content of the contract had been negotiated, and Xia Wei was supposed to leave, but he asked Zhongli a question again.

"Is it true that I heard that Morari has your divine powers?"

Zhongli didn't seem to expect Xia Wei to ask such a question, he shook his head without the slightest hesitation, "Mora doesn't contain my divine power, it's just a special metal that contains rock elements that is limited by my contract.

As for why it became an alchemy catalyst, it was entirely because the rock elemental metal was able to stabilize most alchemy reactions, and because of this, Mora was mistaken for possessing my divine power

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that as an alchemy catalyst, Mora's consumption is huge, if I really need my divine power to make Mora, then after I fake my death, how should Mora be made? Zhongli asked rhetorically.

Xia Wei thought about it carefully and found that it was the same, he looked into Zhongli's eyes and continued to ask, "After you fake your death, if there is currency to compete with Mora, what will you do?" ”

"The answer is simple, I can't do anything, and since it's the era of human rule, this kind of thing should be solved by the people of Liyue themselves." Zhongli said after groaning slightly.

Xia Wei was a little unconvinced, "When it's really time to shake Mora's status, won't you make a move?" ”

"If the kind of currency you're talking about can really shake the status of Mora, it can also prove that it is better and more popular than Mora, so what reason do I have to do it?

As long as he doesn't break the contract, then let him do it. Zhongli said very blandly, and after saying that, he got up from the stool and left the room, obviously unwilling to talk anymore.

Xia Wei also walked out, but he didn't see Zhongli's figure, he had already left.

But when I walked out, I met the ceremonial team that had left before, and the plum blossom girl holding the portrait.

Xia Wei didn't want to speak, but the girl took the initiative to greet him.

"Hi, hello! I saw you standing at the door of the hall before, do you have funeral matters to do? "Hu Tao is very dedicated and unwilling to give up any business.

Xia Wei shook his head politely and wanted to walk away, but was stopped by the girl again.

"I know you have funeral matters to do, don't listen to what the ceremonies say, you can only make an appointment during the day, today the hall master and I am here, the hall master will call the shots for you, you can do it when you want." Hu Tao continued to sell without giving up.

It's a pity that Xia Wei is still unmoved, just kidding, who is idle and has nothing to do to order a funeral for himself? It's not like it's alive.

Seeing Xia Wei's lack of interest, Hu Tao was a little disappointed, but she still didn't give up

"You really don't do it?"

"No."

"Then will you do it well next time?"

"Sorry, I really don't need to."

Xia Wei tried hard to get rid of the girl in front of him, but Hu Tao still wanted to continue to sell, and even said a series of afterlife benefits.

"Please, Miss Tang, I really don't want to do a funeral, don't sell to me anymore." Xia Wei asked with an embarrassed expression.

Hu Tao hugged his chest and looked up at him and said with a smile, "My name is not Lord Tang, my name is Hu Tao, and I am the seventy-seventh generation hall master of the Afterlife Hall." ”

Xia Wei was a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect that the steward of a place like the Hall of the Dead was so young, in his impression, he should be a middle-aged man or an old man, such a young girl was actually the hall master!

But since she is the hall master, does that mean that she controls the secret method of the Afterlife Hall to the border?

"Are there any gifts or anything like that for the funeral in the Hall of the Dead?" Xia Wei suddenly asked with interest.

This gave Hu Tao hope again.

"The lord of this hall is destined for you, as long as you order a coffin for a funeral in the Hall of the Dead, the master of this hall will give you a carriage drawn by eight horses, a luxurious house like the Jade Pavilion, flowers that are more beautiful than glass lilies, of course... These are things that can only be used when you go to another world. Hu Tao explained with a smile.

Xia Wei was still smiling after hearing this, "Then I want to follow you to the border to see, okay?" ”

Hu Tao lifted his hat and was a little puzzled, "What are you doing at the border?" The living can't go there. ”

Xia Wei pretended to be sad, "Actually, it's my fiancée... I want to find her. ”

Seeing Xia Wei's sad appearance, Hu Tao understood, but she still chose to refuse Xia Wei's request.

"Born in life, died in the moment of death, since yin and yang are separated, there is no need to miss it too much, and I don't think your fiancée will want to see you so sad." Hu Tao said with a sigh.

Seeing that even acting didn't work, Xia Wei had to find another way.

"Then I want to join the Hall of the Dead as a guest, just like that Mr. Zhongli." Xia Wei said firmly.
