Original God's Dark Priest

"The first mola in history?" Safire looked at Zhongli, she didn't know what the answer was. She was already dead when Zhongli made Mora.

Zhong Li shook his head slightly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I don't know...I don't remember."

The corners of Safir's mouth twitched, thinking, "What are you trying to explain to me? I didn't ask you."

Yixuan showed off his knowledge at the right time: "As we all know, under the guidance of Lord Yan, the ancestors of Liyue smelted ore and used the initial goods to trade with all the countries in the world.

Today, Liyue has the sole right to cast molas in the entire continent, and the first mola in the world should have been cast by Lord Yan himself thousands of years ago. "

Wanyan nodded in agreement with Yixuan's statement, and then added her own opinion: "Based on my research... plus a little guesswork, I think this historically significant mola is probably used as a token, a secret passed down.

For example...will the Seven Stars in charge of Liyue have any rituals that are unknown to outsiders before each generation takes office..."

Wanyan's statement did sound somewhat possible. Safire thought for a moment, well, does the new Liyue Seven Star have to swear an oath to Mora? It's weird, but it's possible.

Han Xue couldn't sit still and said quickly: "No, no, no, according to my research, the status of this first mola is not that simple! As we all know, mola is a catalyst. Even today, there are rumors of using mola Pull's efficacy in occult science enhances the thaumaturgy of weapons.

The world's first mola 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 is, Prince Yan used this Mora as a catalyst to strengthen his sword. "

Safire couldn't help but feel ashamed after hearing this. It was true that Morax was keen on forging weapons, but the so-called sword was too...

Han Xuecai couldn't care less about what she would think, and continued: "Hey, hehe, please buy the book and read the full text when the time comes. Now I will only reveal a small part of the secret: you can become the Supreme Supreme of Liyue by getting the sword. You can be crowned the King of Liyue!"

Zhongli sighed helplessly: "I beg to differ."

Safire was more direct: "I suggest you write a novel. Maybe Yaeongtang will welcome your submission."

Hanxue's face turned green and white at what she said. Just as he was about to refute, Zhongli continued: "Not to mention the authenticity of the sword test... The so-called mora and the so-called money were originally created to facilitate the signing of contracts. Just a bargaining chip.

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..."

Being robbed by Zhongli, Hanxue naturally couldn't lower his face and scolded Safire, so he had to hold his breath. At this time, Yixuan came out to smooth things over: "Well... I think Mr. Hanxue's hypothesis is very reasonable, but this Mr. Zhongli, do you think so of Prince Qingyan’s far-reaching plan without any evidence?”

Zhongli shook his head: "I don't mean to belittle you, I'm just stating the facts."

"Mora is made to be spent. Can't the King of Rocks spend money?" At this time, Safire had already remembered who this Hanxue was. At that time, this person was also boasting in the Moonlight Tavern. , talk about the mystery of the emperor's life experience after all.

Han Xue crossed his arms and showed a contemptuous smile: "Come on, do you understand Prince Yan or do I understand Prince Yan?"

Safire's face turned dark when he heard this: "Shut up, you are making outrageous remarks all day long to confuse the public, sensationalize, and smugly call yourself a historian. Do you know what history is? Just put it aside." He said he had studied it. The distorted history started with people like you."

"It's totally unreasonable!" Han Xue stood up, glaring angrily, "You! You actually said that I am trying to flatter the public? How could you say such unreasonable things! You said that I am misleading the public with my evil words, do you have any evidence?"

Safire couldn't help but laugh: "Evidence? What evidence do I need? How many examples can you name of the swords and weapons forged by the Emperor? What stories can you cite related to them?"

"Me!" Han Xue's face suddenly turned ugly. He really didn't know what weapons the emperor forged, but he didn't believe that the girl in front of him knew, so he said harshly, "Do you just know?"

"Of course I know, I can name a few weapons at will, but if later I find that the weapons I mentioned are mentioned in the book you wrote, and there are redundant things added, I guarantee that you will mention them the next day. Will disappear from this Liyue Port." Safiir's smile turned cold.

Han Xue broke out in cold sweat: "You...who are you! This is Liyue, how dare you do such a thing?"

Zhongli lost no time and coughed lightly: "I forgot to introduce you below. This friend of mine is named Aurora Safire. He is the twelfth executive officer of the Fools, codenamed Dark Shepherd."

"Fools?" Hanxue suddenly withered. In the final analysis, he is just a profiteer in the guise of a scholar. He gets people's attention by compiling some outrageous historical materials. If he offends this Fools executive to death, I'm afraid he will die. No one in Liyue can protect him. Neither can Qixing, because it is impossible for Qixing to conflict with the Fools for him.

"Ah, trash." Safire spat, then looked at Yixuan aside, "You look like you have something to say?"

Yixuan swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously: "Well, let's discuss history, shall we not have such a strong smell of gunpowder?"

Safire's aura was so strong that he was afraid to speak.

Seeing Yixuan like this, Safire picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea: "I just don't like people spreading rumors and slander in the name of history. If what you say is based on evidence, I naturally won't Aggressive." As she spoke, she nodded and poured a cup for Zhongli, "Well, this tea is really good, you can drink it and see."

Zhongli took the cup handed over by Safire and took a sip: "The tea is indeed good tea, but Boss Phil's anger has somewhat affected the taste of the tea."

Safire knew that Zhongli was trying to persuade her to control her emotions, so she stuck out her tongue and sat aside obediently without speaking.

Seeing that Safire listened to Zhongli's words, Yixuan gradually felt relieved and said: "Then, I would like to ask Mr. Zhongli. Thousands of years ago, when Liyue Port was undergoing great construction, Prince Yan taught the people construction techniques. He used The demonstration models are all made of mola, right?"

Zhongli nodded: "It is true."

At this time, Hanxue probably saw that Safire was restrained by Zhongli, and he became bolder again. He felt that his statement had a way to prove it, so he interjected: "Then, you said, if it wasn't because of the valuing of Mora's magical qualities, Why would Prince Yan do such extravagant behavior?"

"This is easy to explain." Zhongli spread his hands, "Because for the emperor, mola is the easiest and lowest-cost material to obtain."

"Pfft!" Safir couldn't help laughing.

Yixuan, Wanyan and Hanxue couldn't help but frown at her, wondering why she suddenly laughed.

Safire knew that he had lost his composure, coughed softly, and put away his smile. After thinking for a while, she explained: "Mora is indeed a symbol of money in the eyes of ordinary people, but to Emperor Yanwang, it can be fabricated casually.

Just like people with the eye of the water elemental god, they can make a splash of water with just a wave of their hand. Have you ever seen such people washing dishes? Just waving his hand, it was quickly washed away, so the emperor at that time must have been in this state of mind for convenience. "

"This..." The three of them were a little silent. There is indeed nothing wrong with this. Do all the emperor's actions have to have some deep meaning?

After a moment of silence, Wan Yan, the only woman in the end, stood up, saluted slightly to Zhongli and Safire and said: "Mr. Zhongli and Miss Safire, I have some archaeological questions and want to find a quiet place." I’m asking you for advice, I wonder if you have time?”

Zhongli glanced at Safire and asked for advice. Sapphire understood that the next step was to visit the Salt God Heulia. She happened to have some things to prove, so she nodded.

"It doesn't matter, it's the Hai Lantern Festival, and we still have plenty of time. Miss Wanyan, please lead the way." Zhongli nodded and accepted the invitation.

After hearing this, Wan Yan immediately nodded happily: "Okay! Come with me."

Wan Yan led Zhongli and Saphire to a deserted place, then she stopped and turned around and said, "What I'm going to say next is a bit disrespectful to the Rock God and will attract a lot of looks, so... it's better to be in a quiet place. a little better.

I just saw that you two have extraordinary conversation and clear thinking. The most important thing is that you don't believe in bragging and deduction and are very objective. So I want to ask you a question. Maybe you can get a different answer than ordinary scholars... You two feel that they were killed by the Rock God. Are all demons evil? "

Zhongli glanced at Saphire, and his meaning was obvious. He thought it might be more appropriate for Saphire to answer this. After experiencing so many things, she might have a better say than him in judging good and evil.

Wan Yan understood Zhong Li's eyes and turned to Safire, who looked thoughtful: "What does this executive lady think of this issue?"

Safire thought for a while and replied: "First of all, I am not Morax, so my answer must be different from his. Since Zhongli is here, let me answer this question from another angle. From the devil's perspective.

You just asked whether the demons killed by Morax were all evil. To this point, my answer is: no. "

Zhongli sighed softly, this answer was what he expected. And Wan Yan's eyes lit up: "Please explain in detail."

Safir shook his head: "I can't say more about Liyue's specific situation. Let me give you an example. In neighboring Mondstadt, Barbatos, the god of wind there, once killed another demon god, Diehlappian. .

Until now, the people of Mondstadt have always regarded Diakrapian as a tyrant, a lonely king, and a dictator. What he did caused great harm to the Monds. From the Monds' point of view, Diehlappian was undoubtedly a bigot who imprisoned them.

But from Diehlappian's own perspective, he just erected a wind wall to protect those vulnerable people from the strong wind. Although this time is a bit long, compared to his long life, it is not worth mentioning. But for the people of Mondstadt, whose life span is only a hundred years, that is several generations.

Do you think he is evil? "

"I..." Wan Yan was at a loss for words. She couldn't be sure. Because of Safire's narration, she had brought herself into the perspective of the devil. When a person breaks out of the narrow perspective and sees the wider world, her state of mind is Things will change, and so does Wan Yan. She somewhat understands what the demon is doing.

Seeing that she understood, Safire chuckled: "So, justice and evil cannot be so clearly distinguished. This world is neither black nor white, but a delicate gray."

Wanyan nodded thoughtfully and looked at Zhongli: "So, what do you think of Mr. Zhongli?"

"Me?" Zhongli pondered for a while and said, "Boss Phil has just talked about the topic of good and evil dialectically. Let me talk about another aspect. I think that Emperor Yanwang respects the contract, so death The demon in his hands must have broken some kind of contract."

"Do you think that Emperor Yan Wang will not kill innocent people indiscriminately?" Wan Yan captured the key point, "However, this view is contrary to some of my recent discoveries.

When I was doing archeology a while ago, I learned some legends about the Salt Demon God. The Salt Demon God Heulia... She was a kind demon god, but she was assassinated by Morax... using dishonorable means... during the war. "

Safire's eyelids twitched, assassination? It's like something she could do. Then she looked at Zhongli and found that Zhongli was also looking at her. Suddenly he became angry and wanted to kick him. What do you mean? When you think of assassination, you think of me, right?

After being glared at by Safiir, Zhongli coughed dryly, pretending he didn't know, and then said seriously: "This... is indeed a long story, but the truth of the story may not be what you want to know. ."

Wan Yan cheered up and said anxiously: "It doesn't matter! Please tell me all the history you know! I have been investigating this matter...this matter for a long time!"

Zhongli was a little embarrassed: "Where do we start with this..."

While he was talking, a fool suddenly ran over: "Oh! Here, here! Mr. Zhongli! Oops, I've been looking for so long but I didn't expect you to be here!"

The fool ran over quickly and was about to speak, but when he saw Safire looking at him with a dark face, he suddenly trembled with fear.

"Clement, why did you come here?" Safire asked with a cold face.

Clement opened his mouth, but could not utter the words he had originally prepared. After being stunned for a moment, he still answered honestly: "Back to... Lord An Mu... Isn't it the Sea Lantern Festival these days?

My subordinate accidentally confiscated the expenses, so I was short of money, so I found an excuse and went to the General Affairs Department to get an exploration permit document for archeology, wondering if I could dig up some treasures and sell them for money... "

Safire's already ugly face suddenly darkened a bit: "Okay, Clement, if you need money, spend it, right? You've started to touch the gold captain, how can you be so embarrassed?" Woolen cloth?"

"Yes, I'm sorry." Clement felt so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and burrow into it.

Seeing his embarrassing look, Safire was speechless. After thinking about it, he still didn't punish him.

"Since you have the permission document, you can follow me today, but don't even think about selling the treasures for money. All the things dug up will be confiscated. I will give you a discount when I get back. Don't let foreign friends look down on you. Do you understand?" Safir waved his hand, not wanting to see this embarrassing thing anymore.

After hearing this, Clement jumped up happily as if he had been granted amnesty: "I understand, I understand! I will lead the way for Master An Mu now!"

Safire put his right hand on his forehead and said speechlessly: "What is the path? Since it is a formal archaeological activity, it naturally has to follow the procedures. Let's talk about your plan to come here first."

Clement then remembered the purpose of his trip and quickly turned to Zhongli.

"That's right, I will conduct archaeological exploration in Liyue for a period of time, and all the exploration results will be shared with the officials.

And I heard that there was a guest in the Purangsheng Hall named Zhongli, who was knowledgeable about the past and present, and had profound knowledge. I took out all the remaining belongings to pay to Shengshengtang and hired him as my consultant. "
