Chapter 49: The Demon God of Salt
"This gentleman! That one... I have some questions about archaeology and would like to ask you for advice in a quiet place. I wonder if it will disturb Mr. Wanyan groaned for a moment and said to Zhongli.
"Oh, that's fine. However, I wonder if it would be convenient for these two friends of mine to come together? Maybe they can be more helpful. ”
Tassel: "Oh, me? ”
Ying: "Let's just listen to the story." ”
After all, this kind of scene is rare, not only can you hear about the Emperor of the Rock, but you can also see him smearing himself, speaking of which, this feeling is weird, but it is very curious.
"Sir has said so, then of course welcome! Let's go. After saying that, Wanyan and Zhongli left first.
"Lord Yan, it's amazing! As soon as he left, someone began to slander him...."Seeing Zhongli's departure, Hanxue said dissatisfied.
"Even in the age of man, it is time to maintain a basic reverence for the gods we once had..."
Yi Xuan bowed his head, agreeing with Hanxue's rhetoric, no one in Liyue would denigrate the Rock Emperor, except for himself, of course.
Ying: "......"
The gods of Teyvat are really weird, Wendy, Zhongli is like this, and Tassels, and Nahida, they don't feel normal.
....
"The next thing I said was a little disrespectful to the rock god, and it would attract a lot of white eyes, so... It's better to be in a quiet place. Wanyan found a secluded corner and said to everyone.
Tassel waved his hand and said with an atmospheric face: "It's okay, a few of us are disrespectful to the rock god, you can rest assured and say it boldly." ”
Zhongli: "In terms of universal reason, it is true. ”
Tassel didn't sound like anything wrong with it, the Traveler wasn't from Liyue, and Paimon had said that he was a social waster, not to mention Tassel, and as the Seven Gods, she didn't know what awe was.
"Uh..."The words of the two caught Wanyan off guard, although she was dissatisfied with the rock god, she didn't dare to say that she was disrespectful to him so blatantly, and several of them still brought Liyue's local Skynet, and they were not outsiders.
Do I believe in the Rock King? This is the kind of believer who is dissatisfied with the Emperor of the Rock King? Wanyan began to doubt herself.
"Mr. Fang Cai has an extraordinary conversation, clear thinking, and the most important thing is not to believe in bragging and deduction, and is very objective." She pondered for a moment and then turned around and said, "So I want to ask my husband a question, and maybe I can get a different answer from ordinary scholars... Sir, do you think that the demon gods killed by the rock god are all evil?"
“… Good or evil, for the time being, aside. The Emperor of the Rock King respects the contract, so the demon god who died at his hands must have broken some kind of contract. ”
"Well, at least this kind of thing is indiscriminately killing innocents, and Lord Yan won't do it." Paimon was on the sidelines and complied.
"However, when I was in archaeology, I learned some legends about the Demon God of Salt."
"Heulia, the demon god of salt... She's a good demon god, but she's still been killed by Morax in the war..."
"By Morax, by dishonorable means... Assassinated. ”
Paimon: "Huh? Probably not."
"Heulia? I seem to be a little impressed. Tassel said in deep thought, "Oh, I remember, it's that silly white sweet." ”
"Silly white sweet? It's not a very clever title to hear. Paimon spoke.
Zhongli thought, "Silly white sweet, it is indeed very appropriate to describe Heulia. ”
"It's... It's a long story indeed. But the truth of the story may not be what you want to know. ”
"It's okay, please tell me everything you know! This thing... I've been investigating this matter for a long time! Wanyan said excitedly.
Ying: "Zhongli looks a little embarrassed. ”
"No... Just, where to start? Zhongli was indeed a little embarrassed at this time, as Tassel said, the Salt Demon God Heulia was a silly white sweet.
"You also know that the Demon God War is very cruel, either you need strong strength, or you have unparalleled wisdom, otherwise it will be difficult to survive in the Demon God War, and Heulia she has nothing, only a useless kindness, lacking wisdom and strength." Tassel whispered next to Ying.
"So? So the Demon God of Salt wasn't killed by Zhongli? Ying asked curiously.
"Of course, Heulia, the demon god of salt, died of her own stupidity, under the sword of her own people, what an irony, she was unwilling to resist at the last moment, for fear of hurting her own people, until her divine power was exhausted, and none of the people who killed her escaped, all of them were salted."
"This demon god, no wonder, Zhongli is reluctant to mention it."
"Oh, here and here! Mr. Zhongli! Oops, I've been looking for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be here. A Fatui came over and said in surprise.
......
"And I heard that there is a guest in the Hall of the Afterlife, named Zhongli, who is well-versed in the past and the present, and is very knowledgeable. I paid a lot of money to Xiangshengtang and hired him as my advisor. ”
"In other words, it's the work of the Afterlife, right?" Zhongli asked.
Ying: "I think it's better to be cautious. ”
"It's okay, what kind of waves can he make. By the time Liyue arrived, the information had been basically investigated, and as long as it wasn't a big threat, Liyue wouldn't have taken care of it, and now that the physical fitness of the whole people has improved, the average Fatui really can't beat the people of Liyue. ”
The tassel's explanation made Ying relax and think of "Genshin Impact" again, which is an unbearable past, and he is about to fight the final boss, that is, the moth of the golden tree, next time find a time to take Paimon to try it together.
"Since it's work, there's no way around it. As a guest of the Dead Hall, you have to respect this identity, and what Tassel said is not wrong. Zhongli turned his head to Ying.
"Sure enough, he is a reasonable person! Let's go now, then!" Kliment said excitedly.
"Wait a minute, if it's archaeology, can I go with me? I'm also an archaeologist and can help a lot. ”
Wanyan was about to leave when she saw everyone, and she hadn't gotten any information about the Salt Demon God from Zhongli.
"That topic just now, let's have a chance to continue talking about it on the way. By the way, traveler, let's come along. ”
Ying wrinkled a small face: "Actually, I don't know much about archaeology. ”
"The next experience may help you in your future journey."
Hearing this, Ying agreed.
"That's the story before the Seven Gods system was established... Although the Demon God is gone, it may not be the target of your visit, but at the very least, it can add some meaning to your travels. ”
"Hey, Zhongli, you didn't invite me?" Seeing a few people clapping, Tassel hurriedly showed his presence.
"Oh? Don't you already know about it? This trip won't help you either. ”
"Hey, it's not too boring, since there are interesting things, even if you know it, it's not bad to experience it again, it's much better than sitting on the edge of the golden house and fishing, right?"
"In terms of general rationality, this thing is indeed much better than fishing."
Zhongli thought of the tassel that he had been fishing without hooks and bait for more than a hundred years, and in Tassel's words, he was even worse and outrageous than him, a Liyue street slicker, a Liyue angler.
"Hey, there's too many of them, right?" Kliment said dissatisfied.
"However, this friend of mine has a talent for treasure hunting that no one can match, and it will be of great benefit to our archaeological journey."
"Oh? What talent? Kliment said curiously.
Zhongli pondered for a moment to meet Ying's expectant gaze: "-I will never miss a treasure chest in my sight." ”
Paimon excitedly says, "I'm good at this, too!" ”
Ying's expression froze, and she covered her head and sighed: "......"
"Oh? It's kind of interesting, but what about the other one? ”
"The other? She's going sightseeing, just leave her alone. ”
Tassel: "......"
