"Archaeology is all about large amounts of evidence and well-reasoned associations. This is very unprofessional behavior on your part, Miss Wanyan."
Before Zhongli could speak, Yixuan, who claimed to be an archaeologist, sternly accused, "Unlike you, my guess is based on a large amount of data. The status of the world's first mola is indeed extraordinary, but it is not what you think." That’s what it said.”
"As we all know, Mora is a catalyst, and to this day there are still rumors of thaumaturgy that uses Mora's effect in mysticism to strengthen weapons... The first Mora in the world must contain the strongest power! "
"So my next historical book is to boldly demonstrate the latest results of my ten years of painstaking research!"
"That's... Lord Yan used this Mora as a catalyst to strengthen his sword!"
Yixuan put his hands in his hands and put forward his personal opinions in a firm tone. He also promoted his future works to everyone.
"Hmm...one sword and one sword?"
Paimeng happily ate the cakes on the table and did not forget to cheer for Yixuan.
"Hahaha, please buy the book and read the full text when the time comes. Now I will only reveal a small part of the secret: if you get the sword, you can become the Supreme of Liyue, and if you pull out the sword, you can be crowned the King of Liyue!"
Yixuan waved his hand, seemingly very satisfied with Paimon's support.
The traveler sitting in the chair felt that the whites of his eyes were floating upward uncontrollably.
It sounds like the archaeologist named Yixuan is not that reliable. The contents in the historical books are just his own guesses, and there are no actual examples to prove his conclusion.
The so-called swordsmanship is somewhat similar to his style. Maybe it would be more suitable for him to become an expert. Maybe he could write a book as popular as "The Travels of Emperor Chen".
However, Dadalia, who did not understand the history of Liyue, seemed to agree with Yixuan's statement, and kept gesturing to Zhongli with his eyes, as if he wanted to find a time in private to inquire about the whereabouts of the pair of swords.
He is a warrior who pursues power. Naturally, Dada Duck will not let go of such a weapon that seems to be well-founded.
Only Famas looked unconcerned and enjoyed the pastries on the table with Paimon.
Compared to those who relied solely on speculation and research, Famas, a contemporary of Zhongli, had personally faced the currency war led by Morax.
At that time, Famas' economic knowledge could only be said to be unsatisfactory. If it had not been for [Hand of the King] Akhtar and many scholars who found a unique way and turned the tide, Munata would have been like other countries in that invisible war. He would lose his own currency and be sucked into the wave of Mora's economy.
"...I beg to differ."
"Not to mention the authenticity of the sword research... The original intention of the so-called Mora and the so-called money is just a bargaining chip to facilitate the signing of contracts. It is the emperor's original intention to guide humans to use Mora for transactions."
"Presumably the first mola in the world was just treated as an ordinary coin by the emperor and simply spent."
Zhongli shook his head slightly, held his chin and thought for a moment, then calmly refuted Yixuan's guess.
Dadalia, who was sitting at the table, looked at Zhongli who was recounting the truth and tried to hold back his smile. He did not expect that Liyue's Rock King would have such a colorful life in the world after he retired from the throne.
Wan Yan, who was sitting aside, frowned solemnly and seemed a little dissatisfied when he saw several scholars praising the great deeds of King Yan.
Fortunately, Mr. Zhongli turned out to be a rare Liyue person who didn't agree with Morax's achievements. No wonder Ning Lan entrusted the Palace of Life to handle matters.
Perhaps they can take this opportunity to draw Mr. Zhongli into their Yinyuan Hall camp.
"Mr. Zhongli really underestimated the power of Emperor Qingyan. Although I don't agree with the views of this Yixuan expert, but Mr. Zhongli has no basis and base, so he underestimates the foresight of Prince Qingyan?"
Hanxue asked back. It seemed that he didn't agree with Zhongli's view that "the emperor just spent the first mola casually".
"No, my statement does not contain praise or criticism, it is just stating a fact..."
Zhongli was about to explain, but was quickly interrupted by Yixuan who looked unhappy:
"Come on, do you understand Prince Yan or do I understand Prince Yan?"
The traveler sat aside and listened silently to everyone's arguments. Zhongli sighed after being interrupted, and Dadalia finally burst out laughing because he couldn't hold it in, successfully getting the attention of everyone around him.
"Why are you laughing?" Yixuan frowned, "Humph, Zhidong people, I advise you to be more respectful and don't think that I am afraid of Beiguo Bank..."
The other people who didn't know the truth didn't understand why Dadalia was laughing. Yixuan was a professional archaeologist. Even if Mr. Zhongli was knowledgeable about the past and present, he still couldn't compare to a scholar who specialized in the study of the Rock King, right?
"No, I just think this scene is too unexpected..." Dadalia shrugged and glanced at the young man in red who was working hard, "I think maybe Mr. Famas knows about the mora Where to go?"
"oh?"
Everyone turned their attention to Famas who was teasing Paimon with food.
This low-key young man didn't say a word after he sat down. He didn't expect such an unassuming young man to actually study history, so he took the opportunity to ask him where the first mola went.
"All the money circulating in the mainland is my flesh and blood. In this way, I am guaranteeing all the sweat, wisdom and future of mankind. This is my trust in all living beings. To live up to it is to stain my blood. "
Suddenly becoming the center of the topic, Famas was not in a hurry and read out a rather historical account.
"This is the declaration of Morak...the Rock God when he launched a currency war against the countries of Teyvat Continent."
"Since these Mora are his flesh and blood, we must quietly find a safe place to bleed and cut the flesh, right?"
"How do I know the whereabouts of the first Mora, unless you personally ask your beloved Rock King Emperor, maybe he will give you the answer?"
Famas shook his head and suddenly remembered that Zhongli seemed to have been injured in the battle a few days ago. He wondered if the blood that dripped down had turned into golden mola.
"I only have a brief understanding of historical matters, so I don't dare to boast about it. But if there are no differences in concepts, the discussion will be meaningless."
In order to prevent Famas from talking nonsense, Zhongli promptly brought the topic back to the historical debate.
"Then let me ask you, thousands of years ago, there was a lot of construction work in Liyue Port, and Prince Yan taught the people construction techniques. The demonstration models he used were all made of mola, right?"
In order to refute Mr. Zhongli's point of view, Yixuan put forward another example with sharp words.
"It's true."
"Okay, tell me, if it wasn't because of the magical qualities of Mora, why would Prince Yan do such extravagant behavior?"
"This is easy to explain. Because for the emperor, Mora is the easiest and cheapest material to obtain."
"Uh, uh..."
Yixuan was speechless by Zhongli.
"Mr. Zhongli seems to be telling someone else's story..."
The traveler said jokingly, Zhongli has always looked gentle until now, and I really can’t imagine how he could not hold back his smile.
"This is also the story of Emperor Yanwang."
Zhongli responded naturally, as if he was not the one who lived for thousands of years under the name of the Rock God.
