"Mr. Zhongli, I wonder when the guards of the Golden House will withdraw?"
At the dock late at night, there were only a few dock administrators and Qianyan Army patrolling at night. In the hazy night, Dadalia raised his head and asked, his eyes like bottomless sea water.
Zhongli and the Queen of Winter signed a contract in exchange for the heart of God. This was the contract that ended all contracts.
Gods, in this era of human rule, are no longer suitable to control everything, let alone a prosperous business capital like Liyue.
The rock god Morax has been watching this land for 3,700 years, and naturally has a deep attachment to this land, so he must confirm whether this land has the consciousness to leave the protection of gods and immortals.
For this purpose, Zhongli borrowed painstakingly to prepare a test for Liyue, and Dadalia was one of the chess pieces sent to him by the Ice Queen.
The reputation of the Fools in the other six countries is definitely not good. As part of the contract, when the Fools become evil people who attract public attention on the surface, there are far fewer trivial things to do in the end.
Zhongli also didn't want to put too much effort into cleaning up the mess.
Once the scapegoat is decided, the plan to fake death can begin. Immortals are far away from Liyue, but they still have great restraint on this land. The death of Emperor Yanwang will make the people and immortals in Liyue more intense. Confrontation began.
If there were a crisis that could destroy Liyue, how would they face it?
Zhongli Gujing looked calmly at the direction Famas left, thinking seriously about whether it was good or bad to release him.
"The contract has been concluded. I will naturally tell Mr. Gongzi everything I know."
"The Immortal already knows about the emperor's death, and sooner or later he will ask Qixing to investigate. At that time, Qixing will have to mobilize a large number of Qianyan troops to defend Liyue. That is also when the defense of the Golden House is at its weakest."
Zhongli shook his head. A thin mist began to rise on the sea near the pier, making everything look gray.
"Oh? But I don't think Mr. Zhongli has that much trust in the Fools either."
"Especially, that guy named Famas...except for what he did in Mondstadt, the Fools don't have any information."
Dadalia's expression was a bit cunning, as if she wanted to find out something from Zhongli's mouth.
Zhong Li secretly laughed in his heart, he was really a warrior who only knew how to fight, his thoughts were all written on his face.
"Just an ordinary friend. If Mr. Gongzi doesn't believe in Zhong, you can find another guide."
Zhongli used a play-it-for-get tone and smiled lightly with his hands behind his hands.
Even after learning many secrets and ancient runes passed down from Liyue for thousands of years from Zhongli, Dadalia was still extremely busy.
Those illusory celestial beings and institutions are really not suitable for a foreigner like him who has traveled across the ocean to rob. He often goes to the Hall of Life to find Zhongli, and he feels guilty because he wants to rob the heart of the rock god.
So Dadalia walked around with Zhongli every day. Yesterday he went to Liuli Pavilion, today he went to Xinyue Xuan, and tomorrow he went to Wanmin Hall.
Whenever he saw something strange on the road, Zhongli would stop, hold it in his hand and observe it for a while, then look at the orange-haired young man with an innocent expression.
Dadalia, whose guilt was rising, could only buy everything Zhongli liked.
Especially later, the young executive found something called the "Hundred-No-Taboo Barrel" in the Iwagami Tea Room.
From Zhongli's "unintentional" introduction, Dadalia learned about the role and function of this talisman.
With his character who fears chaos in the world and his mission to snatch the hearts of gods, Liyue's Rock God is probably in big trouble.
"Of course I believe sir, but..."
Dadalia hesitated for a while and sighed hesitantly.
He only accepted the task because of the Queen's expectations.
Compared to the other executives of the Fools, he is indeed less good at calculations.
When I came to Liyue, I just wanted to see what the Yan God, the most powerful among the seven gods, was like, and how he compared with his master.
Even when facing the Rock God, Dadalia is still full of fighting spirit.
However, he also knew that it was completely impossible for him to forcefully take out the heart of a god from his chest like a lady.
Although he is keen on fighting, he is not that ignorant.
"Since Your Excellency, Your Excellency, believes in Zhong, you should be patient and wait."
Zhongli spoke again, his golden brown eyes particularly bright in the surrounding gray darkness.
Dadalia didn't respond, but looked at Zhongli carefully with his dark blue eyes.
Human beings who emerge from the abyss are always filled with a strong desire to fight.
But it seems that most people in Liyue do not use force as a means of showing off.
It wasn't until by chance that Dadalia failed to control the erosion of the abyss during the battle, and was suppressed by Zhongli before going berserk, that I realized that the seemingly easy-going man with golden eyes was more than what he seemed.
I just don’t know how it will compare to myself when the Demon King is armed?
Thinking of this, Dadalia had an inexplicable smile on her face, licked her lips, and imitated the Liyue people and held up her hands: "Then I will listen to you sir."
Zhongli nodded slightly, and the sea fog on the pier gradually thickened. In the port, a lighthouse built in the shape of the Heavenly Lord Shifting the Sky shone brightly in the thick fog, providing illumination for ships returning to the port at night.
Thousands of sails compete, and the moon never falls.
On the first day he arrived at the Land of the Rock God, Dadalia was conquered by the beautiful scenery here.
In the distant winter, there is only endless tundra and white snow.
It's a pity when you think about it. If you take the Heart of the Rock God away, you will probably be permanently banned from setting foot on this land, right?
Dadalia shook her head regretfully and walked side by side with Zhongli.
In addition to buying things Zhongli liked these days, he was preparing to send gifts to his family.
Liyue's brocades, silks, fine wine brewed from sorghum, the ruins guard model designed by craftsmen, and some recipes not available in Zhidong... are now stored in the Northland Bank, waiting for the next merchant ship from Zhidong.
"Mr. Zhongli, do you want to travel to Winter Country?"
Dadalia showed her white teeth and extended an invitation like a little fox.
According to the tacit rules of the Seven Gods, the gods of the other six countries will not easily set foot on the borders of other countries unless invited by the god himself.
Of course, Barbatos has always been an exception.
"No……"
Zhongli was about to refuse, but looking at the energetic young man in front of him and not wanting to offend him, he frowned and hesitated: "Your Excellency, you should complete the task of fooling everyone first."
Every time he saw Dadalia's smile when he mentioned his younger siblings, Zhongli couldn't bear to look into his eyes.
Originally there would be light of hope and longing, but all Zhongli saw was the violence coming from the abyss and the body covered with scars.
Since I have received so many gifts from Dadalia, I should do something for him.
This is the fairness in the heart of the God of Contract.
"When things are over, let's go to Winter Kingdom to see..."
Zhongli sighed slowly in his heart and allowed Dadalia to lead him towards the Northland Bank.
