"I don't intend to break the contract."
"But do you really think this is the so-called [small variable]?"
Zhongli looked at the lady seriously, and then glanced at Famas who was drinking tea unnoticeably.
"The abyss is the common enemy of all life on the surface."
"If this traveler hadn't been present, the innocuous variables you mentioned might have become a disaster that swept across the Teyvat continent."
"The last ambitious man who thought he could unite with the Abyss and overthrow the throne of God has lost everything he owned."
The emperor's words contained an unprecedented warning, and the insinuation made Ying and Paimon look in the direction of Famas as if they had some realization.
The young man held the tea cup to his lips and paused for a moment. Then he poured the hot tea into his mouth as if he didn't hear the sarcasm in Zhongli's words.
"Huh...although I can't guarantee the behavior of my colleagues."
"But the fools at the North Country Bank have absolutely nothing to do with the Abyss Order."
When it comes to the dark abyss, the lady seems to recall some unpleasant things.
The Fool Executives are just tools to represent the Ice Queen's grace. Their common goal is to cleanse the source of distortion in this world: the short-sighted and ignorant gods, and the filthy and dark abyss.
Since the beginning of joining the Fools, the lady has decided to devote herself to the ultimate dream. She would rather sacrifice herself as a victim of the White Star in Winter and live for the obsession of the deceased.
Someone has to burn away the pain in order to bring new hope.
"I hope so."
Zhongli did not refute the lady's words, but nodded slightly.
If the appearance of the Abyss Chanter has nothing to do with the Fools, then the only person who can let Sneaky Abyss take the risk to help is Famas, who is doing nothing next to him.
Moreover, the young man seemed to have intended to cover the injured Abyss Chanter during the battle.
"Golden Alliance..."
Zhongli repeatedly recited the name of a certain covenant in his mind, and kept lamenting that this covenant signed at the beginning of the Demon God War, thousands of years later, there are still people practicing it and dying for it.
What on earth did Famas rely on to unite almost half of the creatures on the continent of Teyvat?
"Since you admit this plan, there have been variables caused by the negligence of fools."
"Then according to the contract, Beiguo Bank will be fully responsible for compensation for unnecessary damage, including compensation for the repair costs of the damaged buildings, exempting the victims' families from their debts with the bank, and issuing temporary interest-free loan assistance..."
Zhongli temporarily put aside the speculation in his mind, and instead summoned a contract scroll from the void that was obviously in the style of Solstice. After unfolding it, he followed the regulations recorded on it and demanded compensation from the lady in a clear and logical manner.
The lady stared coldly at the emperor who was twisting the paper. The long contract continued to extend with Zhongli's movements. After a moment, the bottom of the paper touched the ground, and the scroll was not fully unfolded at this time.
It is conceivable that as the God of Contract, the contract regulations drafted by Zhongli and the Ice Queen will be very detailed and detailed.
The entire contract was written in ancient characters that travelers could not understand. Only the signer's position was written in the common language of Tehuat continent.
"Morax, Rosalind Cruzica Loefat, and...?"
When the traveler wants to see the name of the other god clearly, the beautiful handwriting disappears as if covered by frost and snow, leaving only the dilapidation and deathly silence that can freeze everything.
"...Until Beiguo Bank agrees to fulfill these compensation payments, the Heart of God will be kept by me for safekeeping."
It took Zhongli half a cup of tea to read out all the contract regulations like an old scholar, and then calmly stared at the frosty-faced lady, not caring at all about her expression twisted with anger.
"This is simply impossible!"
"Northland Bank will never agree to these unequal treaties..."
The lady suppressed the anger in her heart, but her robe decorated with gold and red was lifted up by the extremely cold power. In an instant, the air turned frosty, the candlelight was dying, and even the weak sound of abacus in the Northland Bank fell silent. .
Although the compensation requested by Morax was expressly written into the contract.
In fact, aside from the possible unconventional circumstances, this contract is not too harsh for the Winter Kingdom. After all, the equivalent of the transaction is the heart of God, which represents the authority of the gods.
The lady only needs to find a stupid executive, encourage him to release the whirlpool demon Osel, and then recruit a few companies of fools who are about to retire to accompany Morax to perform farce and let him retire in a reasonable way.
Anyway, the fools are used to playing the role of villains. As long as Liyue Port is not destroyed, the additional harsh regulations in the contract will not be used at all.
The Ice Queen thought so when she signed the contract.
Isn't it just to act with you? Besides, Morax is not dead yet, how much trouble can there be? Could it be that Piero couldn't even do this little thing well after selecting and recruiting executives from thousands of people?
However, both parties to the contract had completely missed the appearance of Famas. If it hadn't been for the divine power to mend the crack in the ground in the end, Morax doubted that the huge gap dividing the north and south of Liyue would have been named by the rice wife who saw the joke. [The remaining gun is in a narrow room].
"The contract is made. Anyone who breaks his promise shall be punished by eating rocks."
Hearing that the lady did not intend to fulfill the contract, the ground under Zhongli's feet immediately emitted a bright rock-yellow light. The lengthy contract was automatic without wind. The red glow in the corner of the emperor's eyes rose slightly, and there was an icy temperature in the seemingly calm eyes.
Just as the lady was in a stalemate with Zhongli, a familiar young man's voice sounded in everyone's ears.
"Hahaha...you did take advantage of me."
"But, it seems that I am the person in charge of this operation, right?"
Dadalia seemed to have put away her disappointment and anger after being deceived, and returned to her usual well-behaved appearance. She raised her hand like a student answering a teacher's question, and then touched the back of her head with her leather-covered palm. There was a cunning light in the blue eyes.
"As the CEO of Fools, I agree to all compensation requirements of Mr. Zhongli on behalf of Beiguo Bank."
Dadalia spoke in an astonishing way, and gave the lady a warm smile before raising her hand and snapping her fingers.
Only then did the lady remember that although she was responsible for collecting the transaction's Rock God's Heart, in order not to expose the Fools' true purpose and arouse Seven Stars' alertness and foreknowledge, the lady was not designated as the person in charge of this operation.
Harlequin even asked her to accompany them in the name of the Strata Abyss Logistics and Supply Force, and ostensibly collected the Heart of God's plan documents and information, and gave them full authority to Dadalia.
The cute Dada Duck seemed to have found a loophole in the plan, and the deceived began to fight back.
"I believe what your Excellency said."
Zhongli just thought symbolically for a moment, then raised his hand to condense the pen and ink with his divine power. The contract dragged on the floor was also moved to Dadalia, indicating that he should sign his name at the signature place.
“Now that the covenant is complete, I shall give you what was promised.”
