Original God, eternal guardian

"Kong, I know you came from Mondstadt. After experiencing the city-state where the gods left, how do you feel about Liyue, a place with gods?"

Zhongli asked

"It's hard to say. I probably prefer Mondstadt. It's more free. At least, I haven't felt anything special in Liyue. Well, to be honest, Mr. Zhongli, don't be offended."

"You're welcome, just call me Zhongli. You haven't fully experienced the 3,700-year history of this land of gods. The process of preparing for the ceremony will also become a part of your journey and increase your knowledge."

Zhongli nodded and didn't say anything. On the contrary, he admired Kong's sincerity.

"Liyue is the most prosperous country among the seven kingdoms in the world. In the past, it was guarded by gods and ruled by seven stars. Many of the diplomatic methods of the Fools cannot be used here."

"Tianquanxing Ningguang is heavily guarded against the fools. This is why the young master wants to use the Palace of Rebirth to do things."

"But what benefit does it bring to the master to organize the ceremony to invite immortals?" Paimon didn't understand.

Sora is the same, is it just a promise to him? He didn't believe it anyway.

"I don't know and I don't want to know. To me, the Fools are just providing financial support. I just hope that Liyue's tradition will not be forgotten."

Zhongli didn't care about this.

"Let's get started and prepare for the ceremony to invite the immortals. First, we need the best night stone that can match the gods."

So the two of them came to understand Cuixing, which is the top mineral industry in Liyue. The boss is named Shitou.

Shitou originally thought that Kong and Zhongli were just tourists, but when Zhongli said it casually, he knew that he was an expert.

Therefore, Shitou did not dare to neglect and picked out the three best-looking night mooring stones.

"Zhongli, look, which one do we want?"

Paimon asked. After all, she only wanted to buy one.

Of course, someone didn't think so

"The answer is simple, boss, I want them all."

"Oh, it's all...ah?" Paimon was stunned.

Kong also looked back at Zhongli, his face written all over, are you sure? ? three big characters

"Wait a minute, boss, don't listen to his nonsense, let's discuss it again." Kong quickly stopped the stone that was intended to be filled with night stone.

Kong and Paimon pulled Zhongli aside: "Don't we only need one kind of ritual? Isn't it a waste of money to buy them all?"

Zhongli thought for a moment: "That's true, but the Fools are responsible for the funds. I just want to hurry up and prepare for the Immortal Invitation Ceremony. The extra Yebo Stone can also be used for other purposes."

I thought for a moment, should I go? That makes sense. It’s not my Mora who is spending the money. Why should I care about this?

After thinking about it, Kong turned around and shouted to the stone: "Boss, cover them all."

"Okay! The boss is really awesome."

Zhongli nodded, walked over and said, "Boss, there's no need to work like this. We're talking about boxes. It's the same, one box."

…………

Kong and Paimon were silent, and even the boss Shitou himself was silent. Zhongli looked at them: "What's wrong with you?"

"Ahem, gentlemen, don't blame me for talking too much. I'm just out of curiosity. Why do you want so many top-quality night stones?"

"It's okay to say that it is used to make instruments for the ceremony of sending immortals." Zhongli said directly. After all, this is not a shameful thing.

"Send to immortals? So, that's not a rumor, Prince Yan... really..."

"Sigh... It's unbelievable. I, Xie Cuixing, was also favored by Prince Yan... Well, since it's for saying goodbye to Prince Yan, let's just charge half the price."

It can be seen that Shitou really wants to do something for Emperor Yan Wang, but he can't lose too much. After all, he bought too much.

Zhongli didn't say anything here, but Kong and Paimon were a little unhappy: "Boss, how can this be done? The Emperor of the Rock King will definitely not want you to lose money."

"Just think of it as a favor to Prince Yan. Without Prince Yan's protection, Liyue would not be what it is today. How can a businessman make such money?"

"...Your thoughts will be received by Emperor Yanwang."

Now that we have talked about this, Sora naturally has a hard time insisting on it.

Kong looked at Zhongli: "Zhongli, will you pay?"

Zhongli's expression suddenly froze: "Sorry, I forgot about paying... I'll take a look..."

"Well... I really didn't bring it... Sorry, I made an omission again."

Kong's expression was speechless: "Did you forget to bring money??"

Zhongli nodded.

Kong shook his head helplessly: "Boss, can the bill be sent to Beiguo Bank?"

"can."

"That's good, send it to Northland Bank and they will pay for it."

Sora wiped the cold sweat from his forehead

It's a risk, it's a risk. If the stupid Northland Bank hadn't been behind it, everything would have been wiped out in this wave.

Yujingtai, the night parking stone has been placed here

"I have contacted the jewelry master and the bill should be sent to Beiguo Bank."

Zhongli said

"Speaking of it, this is the place where the ceremony for inviting immortals is held. Is the ceremony for sending immortals also held here?"

Kong looked around: "The immortal body of the Rock King has also disappeared."

"This can be regarded as the result of Qixing's tacit approval. As for Emperor Yan Wang's immortal ancestor's transformation, Qixing may have already had a certain result in his heart."

"Is this too hasty?"

Sora was still confused.

"This is not what we need to worry about, that is, the big shots in Yujingtai will consider it."

"Before the Immortal Delivery Ceremony begins, the Immortal Ancestor Law of the Rock King will be temporarily stored in the Golden House."

"The Golden Room? Where is that?" Paimon asked

"It is the only mint in Liyue and the only mint in Teyvat. All the moras circulated in the seven human countries are minted here."

"Wow~ Ahem, I'm not thinking of anything bad, I just think it fits Morax's identity."

Do you believe it yourself? ?

"Young Master provided the funds for the Immortal Presentation Ceremony, and Qixing provided the venue for the Immortal Presentation Ceremony. This is a bit strange."

This thing feels weird, so weird.

"Perhaps they each have their own purposes. But in this country of commerce, it is not unacceptable to be taken advantage of occasionally."

"In Liyue, under the rule of the God of Contract, only the contract cannot be broken. As for the small actions outside the contract, I don't care."

"Let's move on to the next step, balm."

During this period when Zhongli and Kong were busy, Liyue was not at peace either.

The first is that Liyue officials have lifted the restrictions on Hu Guanjie. After all, there is no evidence.

Although she still complained about this, she saw that Zhongli treated her to a meal, so she decided not to care about this group of mortals.

Secondly, the death of Emperor Yan Wang directly scared Hengyu back to Fontaine. However, when he searched for his breath and found Zhongli and saw Zhongli, his heart was full of speechlessness, and he finally returned to Fontaine. .

Finally, there are the Fools. They seem to have imitated many non-taboos. Tianquan Ningguang discovered this. Of course, since there was no direct evidence, she could only stand still.
