Ningguang rubbed his eyebrows.

In the land of Liyue, she really doesn't need to fear anyone.

Even without relying on the power of the gods, Liyue still retains the power of the Daedric War period in relative integrity.

The immortals named [Three Eyes and Five Manifestations] are powerful beings who have been active on the battlefield since the Demon God War.

And after the war ended, they continued to shelter the nation of Liyue.

Every kingdom has such a force, such as the god of thunder in Inazuma, who once had great demons such as Sasayuri, Chiyo, and Kitsunaya.

Parallel to each other, these demons are to Inazuma what the immortals are to Liyue.

It should be said that with the exception of Wendy, the gods of each country have their own subordinate powers.

Because they are the victors who fought out of the Demon God War, the victors certainly have a relatively complete force.

Only Wendy, before Barbatos was born, Mondstadt's actual god of wind had actually been born.

At that time, the war of the demon gods in the land of Mondstadt had come to an end, and the lone king of the Tower, Decarapian, and the king wolf Andreus, had almost killed the demon gods in the land of Mondstadt, and the last contenders were only two of them.

And Andreus lost.

Although he was not killed by Decarapian, he was defeated by Decarapian according to the backstory.

Although the Demon God War is not a war in which the loser will definitely die, the loser really shouldn't have a reason to continue to participate in the competition.

After a little more time, Decarapian would become the god of wind recognized by the Isle of Skye.

Wendy was born during this period, when he and his ancestors of the Mondstadt people brushed off Decarapian... Although he had no idea how they did it, Andrius then confessed his defeat, and he became the god of wind.

At that time, the land of Mondstadt was covered in snow and ice, and it was not the mild environment it is today.

Decarapian sheltered the people in the wind, and used the storm to enclose the living space for the people.

In Mondstadt's account, Decarapian, who rules the people, did not understand the real desires of the people, did not even care about their thoughts, and gave the people a way to live according to his own ideas.

It was also during this period that the people of Mondstadt within the Wind Walls began to yearn for Freedom.

It's hard to say how Wendy and his ancestors at the time won, but He did.

Therefore, the wind god after that was Barbatos, and Dycarapian became the Tyrant.

In this case, of course, Barbatos did not have time to form his own forces, and the only force he could rely on in the later stage was Dvalin.

Unlike the god of wind, the Morax of Liyue has immortals, and the god of thunder of Inazuma has many demons······ These generations of gods all have relatively well-established powers.

However, the era of Inazuma's great demon has come to an end, and the only thing that can be seen at present is only Yae Miko, a fox demon.

The Immortal Era in Liyue continues to this day, and there is no end in sight.

Thinking about this, Ningguang's eyebrows and eyes were a little sad.

This power is certainly powerful, but it is by no means something that any Seven Stars can control.

The immortals will only approve of Morax's orders, and the ideas of mortals, the ideas of mortals, are nothing more than childish nonsense to them, and they should not be true.

When they grow up in a few years, they will know that they were wrong.

As elders, we cannot allow them to make mistakes.

That's how the immortals have always viewed the people of Liyue.

"Anyway, that's a good thing, isn't it." Yelan saw Ningguang's sorrow.

She didn't want to comfort Ningguang, so she simply changed the subject.

Ningguang's identity determined that she could not completely rest assured of the immortals, because the concepts of these immortals were completely different from normal people.

If it was someone else's whimsy, Ningguang could laugh it off and not take it to heart.

Tianquanxing's position is already very high, and she can treat most people like adults who are childish, and she has the right to play with them, and laughs at them.

But if the immortals have a wonderful idea, they can really turn it into reality.

This kind of complete uncontrol, and even in turn, will control your power, normal people will compromise in resistance, and then accept the reality of being controlled.

And Ningguang was unwilling to accept it.

But she, but Qixing is just a mortal fetus, and there is no need to think about this kind of thing in Yelan's eyes.

There is no way to counter this, it is better to simply act as if nothing happened, and then quietly accept the reality when the time comes.

In terms of doing her best to obey the destiny of heaven, Yelan knows better than Ningguang.

"It's certainly a good thing to have immortals to protect Liyue." Ningguang pursed his lips and chuckled, sweeping away his sorrows.

It's okay to have worries, but you can't say it explicitly, which is not good for Qixing.

Suspicion will cause trouble for both sides, and with the comparison of the strength of the immortals and the seven stars, it will only be the seven stars who will be in trouble in the end.

"There are too many doubts about the assassination of the emperor." Yelan cupped her cheek with one hand, "From the time you called for his old man to come to his end, to the time when his [Immortal Ancestor Fa Transformation] fell, the time between that time was too short. ”

"And none of us have seen any visions."

The smile on the spy officer's face playfully: "Of course the demon gods will also die, the demon god war has buried so many demon gods, it can be seen that they are just a more powerful life form." ”

"Perhaps most of the people of Liyue are reluctant to accept this reality, but the Rock Emperor ······ In fact, he is also one of the demon gods. ”

The other demon gods will die, Morax is only one of the demon gods, and of course he will die.

"But the emperor left too quietly." Ningguang picked up his cigarette stick, "Of course, the Demon God will leave this world, but if it is an assassination, he should not leave so quietly. ”

"According to the records of the war of the demon gods in the ancient books, once these demon gods start a dispute, they will often turn the sea into mulberry fields, and the wilderness into Zeguo."

"Since it is an assassination, it is necessary to fight after all, and in this case, Yujingtai and us who are waiting for the immortal ceremony will naturally not survive."

The assassination can only be said to have lost the first move, but with the vitality of the demon god, losing the first move will never completely counterattack.

Such a quiet death only means that Morax was killed by an enemy in an instant.

And the other party's methods are clean and neat, and the divine power has not even affected others.

To be reasonable, a demon god with this ability should not exist in the current Teyvat continent.

The Seven Archons of the Mortal World are the victors of the Demon God War, which almost means the strongest combat power above their respective realms.

I don't dare to say that Morax is an invincible existence among the demon gods, but no matter how you say it, he will not be erased by people in an instant.

"Isle of Skye." Yelan pointed upward, "Above the Seven Consuls, there is only Sky Island." ”

"If anyone can quietly bring down a god, then maybe it's the power of Sky Island."

Just maybe.

At the end of the day, it's too easy to die.

Yelan is engaged in espionage work herself, and occasionally needs to use force to solve problems.

Ningguang may not be clear, but Yelan understands the answer - if you want to solve an enemy quietly, even if it is a means like assassination, everyone's strength usually has a rank difference.

With the vitality of the demon god, dying so quietly, the difference in strength between them is thought-provoking.

"There's no reason for Skye Island to do such a thing, but we don't actually know about the God of Rock either." Yelan glanced at Ningguang, "Everyone is chanting the name of the Rock King, the history of Liyue is full of the greatness of the Rock God. ”

But the human eye and the pen can only see, and can only record what the gods want them to record.

And what the real situation is, there is no answer.

Maybe this god of rock is really secretly studying something that might irritate the Isle of Skye?

Every year, there is only one day to invite the immortal ceremony, and everyone can be sure to see the god of rocks.

And the rest of the time, where the old man is, what he does, these are all secrets.

"Silence." Ningguang knocked on the table, "You shouldn't say these words, it's better not to even think about it." ”

It is different from Yuheng Xing, one of the seven stars.

Keqing once declared that the Emperor had guarded Liyue for a thousand years, but would it be the same for the next millennium, ten millennia, and a hundred millennia? 】。

The meaning of this sentence is quite clear, and it contains a kind of questioning of the gods.

But her words first proclaimed Morax's greatness, and the question was just a very regular question—the change of the Demon God's throne was not a secret, and the gods of other countries would change, and the Rock God of Liyue would obviously have to face this problem as well.

Keqing's doubts won't attract much attention, but Yelan's reasonable guesses will cause trouble for everyone.

"It's just for you," Yelan smiled, "but it's better not to even talk about you, I still know about this kind of thing." ”

Once you say it, you run the risk of being heard.

If you don't keep it secret, you will lose your life, and if you take pictures for your life, no matter how much you trust the other party and how confident you are in your own secrecy, the best way is to remain silent from the beginning.

"Aside from the answer of being killed, there is an answer to why He died so quietly."

Ningguang's complexion was as usual.

The discussion of what Morax has done has been superficial, this is the god of Liyue, and what he has done, the people of Liyue are not very likely to criticize him.

One is because of the protection of the god of rock for thousands of years, and the other is because of the strength of the immortals and the god of rock.

Accusations mean that one of the two sides must be at fault.

Either it is an unfounded accusation, or it is targeted.

Unfortunately, with the power of the Divine Power Group, this matter must be an unwarranted accusation.

"He did it on purpose." The smile on Yelan's face was obvious, "The emperor and his old man arranged his own death, so he died very cooperatively, simply and crisply, and there was nothing abnormal." ”

Morax may not have been unaware of this problem.

He didn't want to arrange some kind of vision to make his [assassination] more plausible.

But in the end he gave up.

The reason is simple, if he didn't think about the other people as fools, he would have to smash half of Liyue Harbor into the simplest simulation if he simulated the battle of the Demon God on the Jade Capital Terrace.

How many people would have to die in Liyue Harbor for such a sudden natural disaster to make the simulation reasonable?

Morax just wanted to test his men and subjects, and he wasn't here to kill, so he certainly couldn't do that.

"Yes, He did it on purpose······" Ningguang muttered in a low voice, "Let's go do something." ”

She looked at her intelligence officer.

"Can't help but do it?" Yelan raised her eyebrows, and her words were brisk.

"If he did it on purpose, according to the Emperor's previous attitude, he undoubtedly wanted to bring Liyue Harbor under human rule." Ningguang's eyebrows were quiet, "The problem of the immortal doesn't have to worry, he will definitely find a way to solve it, and we only need to come up with a reasonable reason on the face." ”

"It used to be a seven-star co-governance, but now it's not necessarily."

Power will not wait for anyone in its place.

During this period, the seven stars were silent, and no one dared to make any changes first.

But Ningguang was going to take a risk.

In the midst of this change, he planted his own people in the eight gates in advance.

Ningguang and Yelan ignore the other situation at the same time, because it is a special situation that does not need to be considered at all.

If Morax did die, it didn't matter why he died, the demon god who could kill him would definitely have the power to destroy Liyue Harbor.

This kind of power is something that everyone can't resist, and there is no need to take it into account.

And He is dead.

No matter how great a god is when he is alive, he can only be a banner when he dies.

He can't control what the flag-bearer is going to do.

"I see." Yelan nodded, "It's not too difficult to do, but have you figured out the price of being a bird?" ”

A general reminder.

"I've figured it out." Ningguang suddenly smiled and said, "What could be the worst outcome?" It's nothing more than the loss of these things now. ”

"But when I started, I didn't have anything."

"But now that you have everything, you still don't want to stop?" Yelan stood up, her words a little careless, "You already have shoes to wear, and you still have to take this risk?" ”

People are best at fighting hard when they have nothing, and there is nothing to lose if they fail anyway.

But once you succeed, you can get a lot of what you want.

So now that the opportunity has come, why not give it a try?

"How can this kind of question come out of your mouth." Ningguang's eyebrows were surprised, "Wanguan family wealth? That's good, of course. But what's the harm of earning an extra Mora? ”

"What a greed, my Lord Tianquanxing." Yelan smiled, "I thought it would be Yu Hengxing who reacted first. ”

"She's just proclaiming that she's ruling by man, but in fact she's collected a cabinet of small objects about the emperor." Ning Guang laughed, "She's the one who has the most respect for divine power among all of us. ”

Because she relied so much on Morax's rule, she couldn't imagine what Liyue Harbor would look like if it lost Morax's rule.

Therefore, it is necessary to preach in everything what people should do, and they cannot rely on the emperor.

"Since the establishment of Liyue Harbor, the figure of the Emperor has gradually disappeared."

"So far, apart from inviting the Immortal Ceremony, we have not been able to find any trace of the emperor." Ning Guang sighed lowly, "This trend is actually gradually becoming apparent, and the Seven Stars of the past generations have noticed it. ”

When Liyue Harbor was first established, Morax had to do everything himself, and the work that the Seven Stars had to do at that time was to pass on the Emperor's orders.

More, they dare not do it, and there is no need to do it.

But as time went on, Morax gradually delegated power and also reduced the number of times he appeared.

Until now, he would only appear on the day of the Immortal Ceremony, and then read the manuscript prepared by Seven Stars in advance about the direction of Liyue's new year.

He didn't want to do this kind of work anymore, so he handed over the work of integrating the direction of development to the Seven Stars of Governance.

At that time, Seven Stars prevaricated for a long time, to the effect that the development direction of Liyue Harbor could only be helmed by you, and we were thin and shallow, and once we had no problems, the cost of our own responsibility was small, and the key was to delay everyone's development and future.

Probably no one thought that they would now see tea and birds on the side of the street, watching plays all day long, and Zhongli would be Morax who entered the old man's life in advance.

It's not like that.

Morax is so diligent, this delicate lazy dog that looks like he retired early and enjoys life with a lot of money is Morax?

Yes?

"Now it looks like these are all rehearsals for today." Ningguang cleaned up his mood, "There is still time now, I should also find allies in advance and grasp the greatest benefits in the next changes." ”

"These are our speculations, and you have no evidence." Yelan spread her hands, "Although in terms of the direction of death, we can only have these two guesses. ”

A suspended animation arranged by himself, and an assassination that was killed in an instant.

The latter does not have the value and necessity of discussion at all, so Ningguang's arrangement is based on the former.

Morax arranged his own death.

With this basic cognition, then it is possible to guess why this old god let himself fake his death.

But at the end of the day, it's just speculation.

Reasonable speculation is just theory, and reality is often more absurd than theory.

"Something has to be done." Ningguang came up with an invincible reason, "In anticipation of the Emperor's death, Liyue Harbor will face nothing more than the forces of the Immortals and the Fatui. ”

"We can only devise explanations and reasons for the affairs of the immortals, and pray that they will be willing to listen to our explanations."

"And the things of the Fatui······ Jean mentions in the letter that Mr. Diluc is on his way to Liyue in order to use the power of the Seven Stars to fight the Fatui. ”

"One question is prayer, the other is two strangers." Ning Guang smiled lightly, "These two problems are what the [Seven Stars] group needs to face. ”

"And as a celestial star, I personally don't allow me to do nothing in this trouble."

"Lord Ningguang." There was a knock on the door, "Mr. Diluc is about to ascend the Jade Pavilion." ”
