Thinking of the pile of ancient cultural relics found in the ruins piled up at home, Jiang Bai comforted himself.
It's okay, Maura, just pick up more rubbish and you'll be fine...
"To be honest, I really didn't expect Dao Wife to be managed by a puppet made by General Thunder..." Jiang Bai sighed with emotion.
Before going to Inazuma, who would have thought that such a thing existed?
Even the whole Inazuma is only known to Yae Shenzi.
"It's really surprising."
Zhongli nodded slightly.
He hadn't contacted them for many years, and he didn't know the current situation of those old friends.
"However, the final result was also gratifying. The people of Inazuma moved their gods. It made the thunder movie that resides in the inner world begin to rethink her eternity..."
"Hosting in the inner world?"
"Yes. She previously stored her consciousness in the sword and allowed herself to meditate in the pure land of her heart. According to her, part of the reason seemed to be to resist wear and tear..."
"What is wear and tear?"
Jiang Bai heard this word for the first time in Lei Movie.
From what she said, it seemed like this "wear and tear" was dangerous to the gods.
So when Zhongli chose to abdicate, could it be due to wear and tear?
Zhongli thought for a moment and acted like a layman speculating on wear and tear.
"Analysis based on common rationality, wear and tear should mean that a hard object is gradually damaged during constant use, loses its proper function, and finally becomes nothing..."
Hutao curiously asked:
"So for gods, which aspect of wear and tear does it mean? Memory? Thought? Will? Mind? Or body?"
Unlike the short lifespan of humans, the lifespan of gods is extremely long. It seems reasonable to say that there is wear and tear.
Zhongli shook his head, "Maybe both, I don't know."
Jiang Bai's eyes were a little worried.
If we measure the intensity of wear and tear on the scale of time, how much wear and tear did the 6,000-year-old Rock King Emperor wear?
"These are not things we need to worry about. Let's talk about any interesting things you encountered in Dao Wife." Zhongli changed the subject.
"That's a lot."
Hu Tao looked sideways at Jiang Bai, "This guy has made a big splash in Dao Wife."
"Originally, I went to collect the remains of a client, but I was almost hacked to death by General Thunder and became a wanted criminal..."
Hu Tao's tone was sinister.
Jiang Bai was embarrassed, his eyes wandering.
He admitted his mistake, why hasn't this matter passed?
Zhong Li chuckled, "Xiao Bai took over the Thunderbolt General Wu Xiang Yi Dao. Even I heard about it even though I was far away in Liyue Port."
"Ah? Has it been passed on?" Jiang Bai was a little proud, "Doesn't that mean I will become a celebrity in Liyue Port?"
Hu Tao couldn't stand his proud look and rolled her eyes.
"What's the use of becoming a celebrity? You're not an adventurer, and fame can't be exchanged for Maura."
"It's okay, I can go to the Adventurers Association to register as an adventurer!"
Hutao cast a death stare.
Jiang Bai waved his hands quickly, "You're kidding, you're kidding. I'm a person from the Hall of the Past, how could I be an adventurer like Sora who accepts all kinds of commissions, works hard and has no chance of making any money?"
Kong, who was far away from Inazuma, sneezed.
"Arche - who is talking bad about me again?"
Paimon put his hands on his hips, his eyes seeing everything:
"It must be Jiang Bai who speaks ill of you behind your back!"
"I knew it was him... Speaking of which, he should have arrived in Liyue..."
"Ignore him, let's finish this commission first."
Jiang Bai talked about their affairs in Daozhu from Mingshen Island to Heguan. Zhongli listened quietly, and from time to time made various expressions such as frowning, smacking the tongue, regret, shock...etc.
"It's so true. Such stupid behavior really makes people sigh..." Zhong Li shook his head slightly and commented on Aru's story.
"Speaking of which, is the Thunderbird a demon? Isn't the Demon a lover? Why does the Thunderbird turn a blind eye to the people on the island below?" Jiang Bai asked this question.
He had been wondering for a long time.
"Judging from your description, the Thunderbird should be just a monster, but it is extremely powerful."
"Doesn't that mean there are many powerful monsters like Thunderbirds in Teyvat?"
Zhongli nodded, "Yes."
Before the arrival of humans, elemental life was the real darling of this world.
Born from the elements, they are long-lived and powerful.
Thunderbird is just one of the more typical representatives.
For ordinary humans, formless monsters are already very powerful and difficult to match.
Jiang Bai took out the photos taken in the underground ruins of Heguan, "Master, there are some ancient texts here, do you recognize them?"
Zhongli looked at it for a while and shook his head.
"These ancient characters are not among the characters I know."
Most of what he is familiar with is the writing in Liyue, and these writings were written a long time ago, when the moon was still there.
Moreover, these words came from a civilization buried deep in an isolated island, so there was no reason for him to know.
Jiang Bai felt a little pity.
If Zhongli can't translate it, then you can only try to find a scholar who has research on writing.
Jiang Bai also talked about the news that they drove the king beast back.
Zhongli knew about their encounter with the king beast, but Jiang Bai felt that the fact that they had withstood such a big crisis was worthy of showing off in front of Zhongli.
Zhongli praised him with dignity, "Well done. You will have experience next time you encounter something like this."
Jiang Bai was wondering if he should get some more fragments of the Cold Sky Nail to take with him, lest there be another barrier that needs to be repaired.
After thinking about it, I still have to face the most realistic problem.
He doesn’t have enough storage space!
Jiang Bai ran up behind Zhongli and rubbed his shoulders and back diligently.
"Master~"
His last note was very long, and his coquettish meaning was self-evident.
Zhongli raised his eyebrows slightly, waiting for his next words.
"Master, Master, do you have any treasures that you can carry with you and have storage space?"
"Don't you have one?"
"That one is too small and not enough..."
"If I had such a treasure, I wouldn't be unable to take out Maura when I go out..."
"Σ(°△°|||)︴"
Jiang Bai was convinced by these words.
Indeed, Zhongli, a mortal who always forgets to bring money, would not have such a treasure.
Therefore, if you want to get this kind of treasure from the old man, you have to come when the hall master is not around.
Jiang Bai pursed his lips, skipped the topic, and talked about their trip to the border.
"I thought what the border would look like, but it turned out to be unremarkable..."
"It's not a good thing to be too conspicuous. It will attract countless adventurers to explore. And the border is not a safe place, just like the king beast you encountered...
"In the disaster 500 years ago, there were more dark monsters that were more powerful than the king beast..."
