271 - Do a little favor

If it was normal, Liyue would have been in trouble.

This trouble can't be said to be fatal, at least in the event plot, it is obvious that the plot characters involved in it are almost sent, and in the end, a certain parent who was dangling on the stratum couldn't hold back his hand and got back the cub he had sacrificed.

The player jokingly claims that it is not Xiao that Zhongli has recovered, but a loved one who has almost lost him.

Of course, this is an event mission, and the event mission is usually unrelated to the plot, such as the island summer life, and it is obviously impossible for Sora to find time to visit the island during the trip.

But there are also some activity tasks that are interrelated with world missions, such as the Three Realms Road Festival and Yuanxia Palace, such as the Taiwei Instrument Plate and the Stratum Chasm Travelogue, what will happen if Brother Kong doesn't go to these tasks, this is really not easy to guess.

This is the storyline of Liyue, and in fact there is a part of the story of Sumeru, an elemental life that barely survives in the form of a mushroom beast and waits for the arrival of the god of grass beneath the chasm.

This should be the agreement between the Great Mercy Tree King and the elemental beings attached to Apep, after all, judging from the quest line, without the efforts of these elemental beings, no matter whether or not Apep can be saved, this grass dragon will not have any form of communication with Nahida.

And when it comes to salvation, this is the little story between Apep and the Red King.

The arrogant Grass Dragon underestimated the Red King and made some kind of pact with the Red King, who promised to give his knowledge to Apep after his death.

As a sincere dragon, Apep came as promised when the Red King was about to die, and the Red King was also a cheerful person who kept his contract and allowed Apep to eat him.

Then Apep cracked, and the Red King used him as a container for forbidden knowledge, and after the forbidden knowledge entered his body, he became the color of the rag that the player later saw, and even destroyed a nearly complete elemental life world with him in his body. The world was traumatized, and nature affected the life that lived in the world, and those elemental beings had to leave Apep's body and began to wander in Sumeru and beyond.

Saving Apepe is the pursuit of elemental life, and the willingness of the Great Tree King to intervene may have something to do with his goodness, on the other hand, it should be that he has seen the price that Apep will have to bear after solving the forbidden knowledge.

He was preparing for the future of Sumeru, but unfortunately, some time after Apep went crazy, the Great Cishu King, who was still recuperating from his injuries, encountered a second trouble, and this time he was not so lucky to be able to save his life at the cost of his injury, but had to reopen a trumpet on the spot.

His efforts and considerations continued to help Nahida hundreds of years later.

This is the storyline of Sumeru and part of Rama's concerns.

The timing of his stay in Inazuma may be the timing of the treatment of Apep, and this timing cannot be said to be uncritical.

Because Nahida always has such a ability, he obviously seems to belong to the kind of god who can handle all problems, but when he does get into trouble, he can always end up tossing the trouble to the extent that he can solve it at his own expense.

The problem of Apep had already begun to arise before the story of Mondstadt, and now, after three maps, it should have exploded.

In fact, Apep had been struggling in the desert for so long that he had even completed a symbiosis with the forbidden knowledge, adapting his body to a force that would have been able to kill Teyvat's lifeforms to a great extent, both humans and natives, and drakes were extremely difficult to resist.

Relying on the powerful life force attached to the dragon body and the grass element, Apep survived in another way, but the difficult symbiosis that he took a long time to complete, suddenly the forbidden knowledge was emptied again, and the huge void in his body caused the elemental power in his body to flow out and even surge uninterruptedly.

Even if he was a natural dragon, Apep who had survived from the ancient era to the present day, such a huge loss of elemental power was beyond the reach of Apep.

No matter how huge the elemental power in his body is, it is impossible to maintain this state of rushing and pouring all the time, if this continues, Apep will die, and Sumeru will also be filled with excessive grass elemental power.

But Apep couldn't stop herself.

Apep needed a little external force to help him complete the initial repair, after which his strong life force could complete the body's self-rescue.

It was the first time he needed help, and there was no one who could help him.

Fortunately, the Great Mercy Tree King predicted this move in advance, and had already reached a contract with the elemental beings who were forced to wander in Apep's body to save the Grass Dragon.

Until this time, everything was actually within the scope of bearing.

What can't be tolerated is that the Great Mercy Tree King made a common mistake that many smart people fail.

They have a perfect plan, a perfect course of action, and the only thing they don't take into account is that they themselves will die, and their successors don't actually have their own level.

Liu Chan saw that the master's watch was seen from the beginning to the end, and he used up some of the people on it, and finally he used it with those people on the teacher's watch.

It's too short, there are too few answers that can be copied on it, and there are so few that this queen lord doesn't even want to let go of the answers, so he writes them all on the answer sheet.

But it's still not enough, it's not enough at all.

The Great Tree King had calculated well, but he died, and his successor seemed to have inherited his fate, but in fact he was only a young or even young god.

Maybe the Tree King may not know this, but the Great Mercy Tree King has no choice.

At the end of his life, he didn't really have any more means left than to believe in the pure branch that had just been broken.

If you don't say "I'm sure you can do it", can you do something about it?

Nahida didn't have the long growth time of the Tree King, and naturally she didn't have the strength and wisdom of the Tree King.

can't solve the trouble, and in the end he has to gamble his life, and he is not to blame for this ending.

Not a single person is blamed for any trouble in the world for not being able to fix it, but they will always punish a person for incompetence with a bad ending.

Yes, I will never blame you for your incompetence in this matter, but I will tell you that you have to pay for your incompetence.

And the truth pursued by Xiao, Yelan and others is in another different space under the stratum abyss, which has something to do with the black fog, but it should not disappear because the black fog dissipates.

Rama had thought that Sora would choose to stay and meet his old friends in Liyue, take a break for a while and then think about the next part of his tripβ€”if he did, he would most likely end up being caught by the Seven Stars and going to do something relatively dangerous but crucial.

A good and easy adventurer who can be driven by a little payment, Rama can't think of anyone who doesn't love emptiness.

As an adventurer, he is too good to use.

But Sora refused to be commissioned this time.

Upon arrival in Liyue Harbor, the Inazuma delegation sent out a wave to meet the Seven Stars.

"I'm sorry, but I can't accept your commission." He rejected the Inazuma mission, "Although I helped the Seven Stars with some things when I was in Liyue, I chose the Fatui at the last minute. ”

He said lightly, "I helped the Fatui with their assault on Liyue Harbor. ”

More precisely, that's the plan he came up with.

There were good and bad things, at least for Tartaglia, and while the scene of him chanting "I'm Liyue's friend" was hilarious, it did avoid a lot of problems.

The Fatui soldiers beneath the Chasm of Rock will not at least have to die because of a decision by their immediate boss.

The members of Inazuma's mission looked at each other.

The period when Sora was active was already the point in time when Inazuma locked the country, and their ability to see the bears was excellent, and they were even qualified to enter the castle tower and enter the eyes of the gods, and almost subconsciously decided that he should also have a good network in other countries - being able to fight is really an element of many key issues.

If he can become a guest of Yae Miko and participate in most of the stories that Inazuma cannot participate in, then this person should be treated with equal respect in any country.

You can ignore the good intentions of a strong person, but you can't ignore the malice of a weak person, and even more, emptiness is not weak.

But his reasons are sound.

The reason Liyue didn't like him was because the Fatui were very optimistic about him, and that couldn't be more appropriate.

If it were the Fatui and they had an unpleasant affair with anyone on either side, it was not surprising.

Because that's who they are.

The people of Teyvat think so, and the people of Fontaine will even directly determine that the murder is related to the Linny brothers and sisters because of their status with the Fatui.

If it were the Fatui, it would not be strange to do so.

This kind of truth can be recognized on the mainland, and it is conceivable where the reputation of the Fatui has fallen.

"I see." The messenger was not disappointed, "Hopefully our request didn't cause you any trouble, Mr. Sora." ”

Peace talks are like this, fight for the most chips, bet on the least likely interests, a certain chip cannot be used, and there is nothing to be disappointed about.

"It's not a problem, it's just that under the circumstances, I did need to work with the Fatui." Glancing at Rama, who was watching the play, "Or can you try to commission this one?" ”

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, Your Excellency." The ambassador smiled wryly, "He's the great sage of Sumeru, and we need to have some conversations with the people of Sumeru, and if we owe him a favor for Liyue's affairs, we will lose all of our favor when we get to Sumeru." ”

He doesn't shy away from it at all.

Compared to them, Rama and Sora are more like the top of an Inazuma family.

At least none of them can enter and leave the castle tower freely, and can easily be summoned by the god of thunder.

If it weren't for Rama Sumeru's identity, the ambassador would have thought that Rama had become one of the three commissioners of Inazuma, and talking to the boss of his own family system, some needed to be avoided, and some were unnecessary.

Empty emoji: ??

Well, you begged me because it cost me less?

It's not that he doesn't understand this truth, the price of human debt or more directly the price, of course, needs to pay the price.

Inviting a great adventurer usually requires only Mora or some treasures, but asking for the great sage of Sumeru is obviously not as simple as wealth.

It's not that Inazuma's diplomatic ambassador doesn't understand that it's not good to say this, he understands it too well, it's just that these two people are higher in rank than him in the shogunate's system, but they don't eat in the shogunate's system, so he doesn't need to hide it.

Rama looked away and pretended he hadn't heard anything.

But Paimon obviously doesn't know how to pretend to be ignorant, she's good at pretending to understand, but she's not good at applying this ability in reverse.

"What!" She crossed her hands on her hips and looked puffed.

She was angry, and her empty expression was only helpless.

Most of the commissions during the trip were actually Paimon's efforts.

She always has all sorts of reasons to take someone's commission, such as "he looks so pathetic" or "there's a big meal to eat".

When peers saw this scene, they inevitably sighed that the adventurer's industry was too volatile.

While ordinary adventurers are still working hard for mercenary money, even greater adventurers have begun to work for their own good intentions.

How do you compete with this kind of person?

His professional skills are even worse, and he doesn't even ask for less money than you, so he can't compete.

"My worth was beaten down because of you." Sora pinched Paimon's cheek, "If you don't feel good, think about it more the next time you get into trouble." ”

"Hey, is it because of me?" Paimon pointed to himself.

She didn't even have time to slap her empty hands away, and she couldn't wait to start arguing.

Then, before the argument began, she realized that it seemed to be really her own problem.

This is Paimon's norm.

She has her own reasoning, and often wants to tell her own reasoning, but before she can open her mouth, she realizes that she is wrong.

Fortunately, her mouth is not hard, which can be regarded as very pleasing, and she admits her mistake on the spot.

"It seems to be oh Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" She touched her head, "Then what will we do next time we have this kind of trouble?" Do you want to ask them to add money? ”

Paimon still understands some reasoning.

As an adventurer, the value of this thing depends on your hard power.

Empty hard power is unique in the adventurer industry, and they can theoretically make the employer pay more to entrust.

Once or twice they give kindness without money, many people will think that they are really easy to talk to.

"Our commission is really dangerous." She thought seriously, "I'll have to add money next time!" ”

Paimon convinced himself and only used two sentences.

"So do you know the normal price?" ”

He said earnestly, "Paimon, you've disappointed me. ”

"As my travel partner, since I am responsible for solving specific problems, should you be responsible for the treatment of treatment?"

Paimon nodded.

She still agrees with this reasoning, since she can't help much when she is mainly working, of course she has to help in another place.

"But you don't know how much I should be paid for doing such a thing, which makes our commission reward drop by a lot of notches." Sora looked serious, "In this case, this part of the loss should be deducted from your meal fee." ”

"Decided, before you help me earn enough Mora, you can have a good meal of bread and fried eggs."

The Teyvat Omelette, the resurrection ingredient, apparently didn't please Paimon, and she pounced on it, crying and fussing.

The ambassador sighed helplessly.

These two good buddies are really, able to enter a personal state anytime and anywhere, and concentrate on their own things, as if no one else exists.

"Let's talk to Seven Stars." Rama whispered, "I need them to hire this 'cheap' adventurer in front of us. ”

The ambassador's face remained unchanged, except for a slight nod.

Between the task of the shogunate and the arrangement of this foreigner, he did not hesitate at all.

If you can't do the work of the shogunate, you can only say that it will be a little troublesome to be promoted.

If you don't do well in the other party's private orders, then it's not a matter of promotion, it's a matter of life if you don't do it well.
