179 - Doing something and not having to do
If Tartaglia could find his colleague at this time, he would realize that his bad luck was not actually luck.
It's because there's an inner ghost doing something.
Rosalyn's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and there was a hint of boredom in her expression.
She's waiting for someone who can put an end to all these troubles.
Zhongli arrived as promised.
He sat across from Rosalyn, and on the long table was a special "chess piece".
Rosalyn's gaze wandered over the chess pieces, and finally settled on Zhongli's body with difficulty.
If you want to take away this chess piece, maybe the empress herself can do it.
And if she wants to get it, she can only rely on business methods.
Rosalyn was just as disgusted with the means, and as Tartaglia was at the same time as the unnecessary troubles, because they had already embarked on the path of mastering power, and truly felt the value of power.
Unfortunately, violence can collapse in the face of more powerful violence, and there are not many living beings who have more power than the executive, and this avatar in front of him is one of them.
"You found me ahead of time." Zhongli asked quietly, "What do you want?" ”
Rosalyn's smile was actually a little arrogant.
She shouldn't show too much disrespect in front of a god, but she couldn't help it.
Because Zhongli lost.
"Do you want me to continue describing the game, Your Majesty Morax." She smiled and said, "Your game is over." ”
"Oh." Zhongli answered.
Losing is losing, there's no way around it.
"According to the rules at the beginning, Morax should be dead, a dead god, and he can't affect the world of the living by any means."
Wandering around the world, if you don't get rid of your responsibilities, you can't be idle at all.
According to the rules that most people in Teyvat will recognize at the moment, power and responsibility are symbiotic, and he wants to give up God's responsibility, nor can he interfere with anyone's choice in the name of God.
Zhongli lowered his eyes.
But he didn't do it well.
The roughness of death affects all the plans, and the apostasy of the void is the second factor, which is not too stable in the first place, and it is only the small plan that relies on the power of the demon god as a means of supporting the bottom to have enough confidence to continue to carry out, and it is completely unbalanced in the continuous accidents.
The immortals have already sensed the problem, and they have no desire to continue persecution, so there is no way to verify the relationship between the so-called immortals and humans.
Zhongli's original purpose was to test how the Immortals and the Seven Stars resolved the contradictions, and to observe the ideas and attitudes they displayed towards each other in the process of resolving the contradictions.
Unfortunately, now he can only see the scene where Morax is still alive and everyone respects Morax's ideas.
The immortals would not suspect it, and the Seven Stars did not need to worry about the reactions of the immortals.
Without this biggest contradiction, Seven Stars only needs to take care of the conflict within Liyue Harbor······ This is already an absolute home advantage, and Zhongli has no idea how Seven Stars can lose.
The failure of the plan didn't affect Zhongli's mood too much, he had faced enough bad events, and this time the trouble wasn't even worth putting on the table.
But the lady didn't think so.
"Your plan failed, but the Fatui executive has done his best enough." Rosalyn smiled mockingly, "Even though he's a dull clown, he did what we were supposed to do. ”
Intensify the conflict and give the Seven Stars and the Immortals space to perform.
Zhongli doesn't deny it.
"He took advantage of Zhiyi's ignorance, and then used Zhiyi as a pawn to show the immortals a possibility of the future." Zhongli responded very impressively, "This kind of technique has really worked. ”
"The actual case and the example from Inazuma have made the immortals wonder about it too."
"And this kind of suspicion is the most fatal for Ningguang them."
Ningguang's first thought after receiving the Vision was how to sell this so-called God-given treasure.
She valued wealth and power more than power.
That's good, there's nothing wrong with that.
Even Tartaglia, even Rosalyn, they possess the power that is powerful among mortals, but when facing the condensation, they can only bow their heads.
For mortals, power and wealth are much more reliable than strength.
And wealth can be passed on relatively steadily, and even with power, the Inazuma people have also achieved stable inheritance.
The immortals seek strength, and the Seven Stars pursue wealth and power.
The latter can be passed on and has become the deadliest knife.
In fact, the immortals don't believe that Qixing is really willing to let go, this has little to do with whether it can be done or not, and it belongs to one of the crimes that I suspect is convicted.
Zhongli sighed.
The experiment must have been a failure, and did not have the effect he expected.
It turned out to be a family, and there was actually no difference from Morax's reign.
But Zhongli had no choice.
He can let Morax fake his death, and he is willing to give up the power of God, but he can't let Morax really die.
He just wanted to wander around the world, and he wouldn't give himself a piece away.
"Then, if you lose the game, you should surrender the Heart of God to Her Majesty the Empress, according to the contract." Rosalyn cut through the mess with a quick knife.
Although he is not as panicked as Tartaglia, since he has seized this opportunity, it is better to send a treasure like the Heart of God back as soon as possible.
Every minute you stay on the road, it's a danger.
Zhongli pushed the Heart of God to Rosalyn, "The 'contract' has been fulfilled, and you will be given what you promised, as you ask. ”
The deal with the Ice Empress and Morax's death were a different plan, and while the outcome did not please Zhongli, the Fatui did exactly what they had to do - Rosalyn silently deceived her comrades, and Tartaglia jumped up and down to fan the flames.
In the original plan, Oser was supposed to be the final test.
But now, is there really any value for Him to appear?
Zhongli was going to stop Tartaglia.
At this point, even if Oser comes, it will simply cause trouble, and it will not be able to stand up to the so-called test.
However, just as Rosalyn was content to leave with the Heart of God in mind, the sky of Liyue suddenly darkened.
The Heart of God took off his hand and flew into Zhongli's palm.
"Morax!"
Rosalyn subconsciously snorted.
However, Zhongli didn't even bother to look back, he slowly leaned out of the door and looked up at the sea in the distance
Oser ······
Most of the demon gods in the Demon God War were completely sent away, but some were really troublesome to kill, and they could only control each other in the form of seals.
Zhongli wouldn't fail to recognize Oselle's aura, let alone that it was a pawn in his plan.
But now that Tartaglia should have just arrived in the Golden House, he had enough time to control Tartaglia through the power buried in the Immortal Ancestor Dharma.
Except for the Hundred No Taboo Urn that he deliberately threw out, the rest of the means to break the seal he set up couldn't be so quiet.
It wasn't Tartaglia who did it, but Otsay came out anyway.
The Order?
Zhongli's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Just fighting Osier, he still has a lot of certainty.
But if there is still the handwriting of the Abyss Order, it will be difficult to pass this matter unharmed.
Demon gods like Othello are like moving scourges, and even if they don't have any malicious intent, just passing through Liyue Harbor is enough to make Liyue Harbor a part of the underwater world.
Zhongli was not afraid of any demon gods, but the people he protected could not even face the gaze of these demon gods.
Thankfully, the Heart of God wasn't sent out of Liyue Harbor, otherwise it would have been too much trouble.
The immortals and the seven stars will be in harmony and naturally stand together.
Zhongli, who was about to act, saw this scene and gave up on awakening the elemental power in deep thought.
This is not an opportunity.
It's just that Osser's words, no matter how he acts, he can't act too similarly, as if he faked his death, which is indeed too rough.
After a simple comparison of strengths, anyone can find their own fake death problem.
But if you get involved in the Order······· Maybe it can really erase Morax from the eyes of the immortals and the seven stars.
The Order does have this level of strength, and the Seven Stars may not know it, but the Immortals know it very well.
What kind of disaster was the calamity that Kanria set off five hundred years ago for the seven earthly kingdoms at that time.
Osel is not enough to see, and the Fatui are a little worse in the eyes of the immortals, but if you add the Order that inherits Kanria, this variable is enough.
It's really not that he has any attachment to his own death, Zhongli is a normal person, and he doesn't have to let [Morax] die.
It's just that he's been in power for too long.
For more than 3,000 years since the founding of Liyue, Morax is the kind of god who rarely makes mistakes, and even if they do, people will proclaim that they have gone the wrong way because they did not understand the will of the gods.
The people's pursuit of God, combined with Morax's own abilities and 3,000 years of rule, makes sense, and he is now saying that the lump of coal is white, and from now on he will be able to turn Liyue's black and white upside down.
Such a chase was not necessary for Zhongli, he would not get anything from people's pursuit, and he would not need people to pursue him so much.
So Morax really had to die.
If you don't write off this tuba, the Seven Stars and the Immortals will never have any chance to perform.
Do you want to see them behave like themselves?
I can't show it, I don't have a chance to show it at all.
You do anything and say anything, people only think that you are the executor of Morax's will, no one cares what you think, they only want to hear Morax's oracle.
Zhongli really couldn't wait to write off the tuba and hang his trumpet to wander around the world.
The problem was that the tuba was so famous that he couldn't find a suitable reason to write it off - you said Morax was dead, no, why?
So many full-server announcements, world champions, you told me that he was swiped alone?
You might as well tell me that He died of old age, and that is no more reasonable than being brushed by a stranger.
Zhongli's expression was a little strange.
Before today, he had never felt that fame would be an issue hindering his plans.
But that's just the way it is.
"It's just up to the Order." His gaze found another key person, "But how far can the Order go with him?" ”
It is almost immediately apparent that the relationship between the twins.
Coupled with Sora's missing person notice in Mondstadt, Zhongli was certainly well aware of Sora's value.
If he had asked these questions, he would not have said a word.
In Teyvat's world, people are responsible for their words and actions. The serpent Orobus who is deep in the abyss reads a book and learns a secret, and then he can only die.
Zhongli faces the same threat, he doesn't want Liyue Harbor to be history too, so he won't give Sora any answers, he can only tell Sora something that doesn't matter, and show the way.
Whether there is something to be gained on the road depends on my own opportunities.
Fortunately, in terms of luck, Brother Kong is very stable, although he is unlucky and unlucky along the way, he can always gain something.
The value of this stranger is self-evident, especially when it comes to dealing with the Order.
Oser cleaned up casually, and the Order wouldn't really take too heavy a hand······ Zhongli lowered his eyes, and then gave up his intention to shoot directly.
Then take a look and see the preparation of the immortals and the seven stars.
If there is no empty brother as a guarantee, Zhongli will definitely be in a hurry.
Zhongli didn't have to fear the power of the Rhodosaurus when he buried an entire Liyue people working in the Chasm when he went mad, but once he fought, Liyue Harbor would be completely unsaved.
The Order's methods are no worse in this regard, and letting them play freely in Liyue Harbor is almost equivalent to giving up the civilians outright.
At the other end, there were two casual strokes under the empty foot, and Tartaglia next to him squatted on the steps, looking rather dejected.
When I came, I was in high spirits, but now it's a bit like a sick attack.
"Do you want to do something?" Empty proposed.
He always has an irrepressible sense of participation in this kind of big scene.
"Do what?" Tartaglia asked boredly, "Working with the Seven Stars to clean up the Order?" Or is it disgusting to cooperate with the Order? ”
The former is meaningless.
Acting on the Celestial Pivot Star has made Tartaglia have to disappear into the eyes of the Seven Stars, after all, he has stepped on the bottom line of the Seven Stars.
As for cooperating with the Order······ He didn't care.
Try to do a good job without harming the innocent, and if you can't do it, you don't need to force it.
But Tartaglia felt that Sora should not like to do this, and it was natural to take care of the attitude of the partner.
Having verified that the God's Heart was still in Morax's hands, Tartaglia couldn't figure out what good it was to disgust Liyue.
What else can he do if there is no benefit at all?
I can only remain silent.
