After Fuling finished speaking, Zhongli remained silent and did not respond immediately.

When children grow up, they will inevitably want to try to be independent, and he also saw this.

At the ceremony of inviting immortals last year, Yuheng Star Keqing, one of the seven stars of Liyue who was responsible for presiding over the ceremony, asked him this question:

"You have protected Liyue for a thousand years. Can you still protect Liyue for another thousand years?"

This question hit his heart directly, and he couldn't help but think about whether he really had the ability to protect Liyue for another thousand years.

He has lived for more than 6,000 years, and the wear and tear left by the long time made him exhausted.

When he asked himself this question from the bottom of his heart, the answer he got in the end made him worried.

The longer you live, the more serious the wear and tear.

In order to protect Liyue, he has been forced to give up and sacrifice too many things.

It's like love. When you first get together, you like each other very much, but as time goes by, you will find more and more shortcomings of the other person, and you will also realize that you have sacrificed too much of your time, hobbies, freedom, energy and money for the other person.

Every time you discover the other person's shortcomings, every time you realize that you have lost, it is a "wear and tear".

As disappointment and regret accumulate, you will hate the other person more and more, and finally break up.

From the initial liking to the final disgust and resentment, this is the process of wear and tear.

This is the case with the Dragon King Ruota, and so is Morax.

At first, he loved Liyue and humans deeply.

But being in a high position, he has seen too much ugliness of humans for thousands of years.

Old friends, disciples, confidants, comrades...

In order to protect Liyue, he has also lost too much.

These are also his wear and tear.

And he is very worried that he may have an idea one day because of wear and tear.

——"We are all human beings. If we were not human beings, if it were not for protecting Liyue, how could I have lost so much, and how could I be as lonely as I am now."

He is worried that he will also go to extremes like Ruota because of the wear and tear brought by time, and finally point the butcher knife at his favorite country Liyue.

Especially after the Dragon King Ruota appeared and asked him to kill him.

The feeling of wear and tear is even stronger.

Therefore, Fuling's words just now hit the mark of his biggest worry.

......

Between countries, as long as there is profit, there is room for negotiation, there is room for maneuver, and there is the possibility of achieving the goal.

There is no doubt that Fuling's words hit Zhongli's biggest worry at the moment.

And by making good use of this, even if the other party is an ancient emperor who rules Liyue, she can still get what she wants from the other party.

"It seems that you have done enough homework before coming to Liyue."

"Please allow me to praise Fengdan's intelligence ability again."

Zhongli, whose thoughts were guessed by Fuling, did not change his expression, but he was surprised again by Fuling's intelligence ability.

As the God of Rock, he traveled incognito in the mortal world, and few people knew about this, but Fuling knew the name "Zhongli".

That would be fine, but Fuling was able to observe Liyue's movements so accurately and figure out what he was thinking, which really surprised him.

Therefore, he was praising Fuling's intelligence ability on the surface, but in fact he was testing Fuling in the form of praise, to see if he could find out how she collected intelligence from Fuling's words.

After all, if Fontaine really had such a terrifying intelligence collection ability, then Liyue, as a neighboring country, would always be uneasy.

Fuling naturally saw Zhongli's thoughts, but she did not make any reply.

After all, she couldn't just say that she knew the plot and was familiar with the characters' personalities, so she could guess his thoughts.

Moreover, it is not a good thing to not clarify such things and not make any response, so that the other party can keep their concerns.

Therefore, for Zhongli's test, Fuling just smiled lightly and said nothing.

This is the contest between those in power. A few short polite words are actually a game in secret.

Seeing Fuling's expression, Zhongli also knew that he couldn't get anything out of her, so he immediately changed the subject.

"Just assume that I am really exhausted as you said, but you still haven't told me what Liyue can gain."

After hearing this, Fuling smiled faintly and said, "I know that I can't protect my child forever, and I also know that my child will fly away alone one day, but when that time comes, I can't help but worry about whether my child will be in danger. This is the inner torment that most parents have to go through."

"You may have the idea of ​​leaving the throne and letting Liyue go on alone, but the current situation in Liyue can't help butMake you worry."

"For example, if there is another dark disaster in the future, can they cope with it?"

"Another example is the vortex demon Osel sealed in Guyun Pavilion. Time will wear down everything, including the seal."

"If you are not here, once Osel breaks free from the seal, can Liyue cope with it?"

"You may have thought about killing Osel first, eliminating the potential threat for Liyue, and then abdicating."

"But let's not talk about the impact caused by the battle between the demons. The demon residues formed after the death of the demons will pollute the entire outlet of Liyue Port and become a restricted area for strangers to stay away."

"Liyue is a country where thousands of merchants gather. Once the seaport is abandoned, Liyue will surely decline rapidly."

"So, you have always been deeply concerned about this and it is difficult to make a decision. Am I right? "

Fuling looked at Zhongli and gave her conditions.

"You should have seen this store when you came here. The lights inside are bright, which is completely different from the traditional candles used in Liyue."

"This is made of the original ore as raw material, and the wild mango elements are extracted for reaction, and an energy called [electricity] is produced. This energy can not only be used for lighting, but also for large-scale machinery functions, which will increase Liyue's production level by several times."

"In addition, electric energy has many uses that are difficult to count."

"As for Osel, I just need you to cooperate with me in a play, and I can make Osel willing to leave with me and submit to me."

Fuling looked at Zhongli: "So, as long as you agree with me, I can build a wild mango reactor power station for Liyue and provide power for Liyue. And I can also deal with the hidden danger of Osel for Liyue in the best way, how about it? ”

......

PS: Some readers have said that Funina’s role is a little less. I know this problem, but the current Funina really can’t help Fuling.

I don’t want Funina to be just a dispensable vase, but the growth of a character is not achieved overnight. The growth of a character requires a certain rationality. I have been laying the groundwork.

Don’t worry, Funina’s big role will come in the next two days.
