Man is the original god, the lawer of reason

Sure enough, the guidance of the remaining six elemental forces went very smoothly.Now, Chen Luo has been able to freely guide all seven kinds of elemental power.

"This wave of blood earns!"

Thank you, [Dr.].

"Well, uh..."

Perhaps it was because of the noise caused by Chen Luo's various attempts in the room, Ke Qing snorted softly and woke up from her sleep.

"you're awake."

"Well, good morning."

Ke Qing sat up and stretched beside the bed, highlighting Miaoman's figure.

It's a pity that Chen Luo is just a slime now, and he doesn't have that kind of desire, nor does he have that kind of hardware.

Hmm...but it was precisely because of the slime that he was able to live in Keqing's boudoir so easily.

There's nothing wrong with being a slime.

"Now that you're awake, I'll go to the Hall of Life and see if Mr. Zhongli is there after I tidy up a bit."

Keqing was still thinking about that piece of parchment, and wanted to find someone knowledgeable to take a look.

"Why don't you go and see the interrogation of those fools last night?"

"I have confidence in Qianyan Army's interrogation skills, they will spit out the information I want to know."

Ke Qing came to the dressing table and said while combing her long hair.

"Is it really so miraculous? By the way, if you capture the foolish soldiers back like this, won't there be conflicts with their foolish executives?"

"A person who can endure torture without revealing the truth is one in a million.

"And...this is Liyue, why should I be afraid of provoking fools? Shouldn't it be the other way around, are they afraid of us?"

"Cough, Master Keqing is right."

"Of course, after asking for the information, they will be detained for a few days—they can be released after the matter is over. After all, they haven't actually done anything to endanger Liyue, and the Fools will have to spend a lot of money to release them." It will take some time to ascertain the facts and reasons for the soldier's disappearance."

"If you let them go back, aren't you afraid that fools will use this matter to put pressure on Qixing?"

Ke Qing smiled lightly and replied.

"It's okay, I've already explained that among the interrogation techniques of the Qianyan Army, there are quite a few effective interrogation methods that won't leave any scars. After they returned, they couldn't find any wounds on their bodies. "

"Bi, like...?"

"For example, water torture. Of course, I don't think you want to know too much detail."

While talking, Keqing finished cleaning up.

"Let's go to Mr. Zhongli first, and ask about the parchment. Then we'll go to the prison to get the place where the remaining treasure thieves were taken away. Next... let's go to the summoning array." ending."

Chapter 13 Stubborn Stone

Speaking of which, this was the first time that Chen Luo followed Ke Qing for a stroll in Liyue Harbor in broad daylight.

Looking at the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar scenery along the way, Chen Luo felt a little emotional.

Under the governance of Emperor Yan and the Liyue Seven Stars of all dynasties, Liyue has become the most prosperous country among the seven earthly kingdoms of Tevat.

Although it was still early, ships could already be seen coming in and out along the way, and people were buzzing.All kinds of shops can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, and they are thriving.

Ke Qing took Chen Luo all the way to the direction of the Shengtang, and greeted the familiar Qianyan Army and the people on the way.

As one of the seven stars of Liyue, Keqing was originally the focus of the crowd.

And "Liyue Seven Stars with a slime on their shoulders" became the focus of attention. Along the way, the combination of Ke Qing and Chen Luo turned heads almost [-]%, and there were even many people Came up to ask Chen Luo where he bought it.

Of course, Ke Qing was already used to being the focus of the crowd, but Chen Luo felt a little embarrassed.

After passing through the hustle and bustle of the crowd, the two finally came to the relatively secluded Pastoral Hall.

A woman dressed in black stood at the door of the Hall of Rebirth. Judging from her dark clothes, she was undoubtedly one of the hostesses of the Hall of Resurrection.

Chen Luo also remembers this woman, she is... a true king of no use!

Keqing greeted her.

"Hello."

"Master Keqing, hello, are you here to see Mr. Zhongli?"

"That's right, Mr. Zhongli... is he in the hall?"

The woman replied silently.

"Mr. Ke Qing, he is not in the hall."

"It's not there again... Well, then do you know where he went, I'll go find him."

Keqing shook her head helplessly.

"Mr. Zhongli is always casual, and Hall Master Hu once explained that he is free to go wherever he wants, but..."

She paused and continued.

"Lord Keqing, Lord Tianquanxingningguang entrusted me to convey the news to you. She has already made an appointment for you with Mr. Zhongli to have breakfast at Xinyuexuan. The time is fifteen minutes later. Please come to the banquet on time."

"What, staring at her... Forget it, it also saved me some time, so let's go there first."

……

Xinyuexuan, a moon dish restaurant in Liyue Harbor, which is as famous as Liuli Pavilion.

As a place often chosen by many upper-class people as a dining place, Liyue Qixing like Keqing naturally frequents it.

When the appointed time came, Ke Qing brought Chen Luo to appear in the private room that Ning Guang had reserved, and Zhong Li naturally arrived as scheduled.

"Mr. Zhongli, long time no see."

"Master Yuhengxing, long time no see, don't come here without any problems."

This man, dressed in a dark Xiangshengtang-style suit with a calm expression, is none other than Zhongli, the ancestral guest of Xiangshengtang.

Of course, what Keqing didn't know but what Chen Luo knew was that he was also the ruler of Liyue, the human incarnation of Morax, the rock god, one of the seven rulers in the world.

The god seemed to glance at Chen Luo intentionally or unintentionally during the conversation.

"Master Yu Hengxing has a new hobby of raising slimes recently?"

"Uh... this, be it."

"Mr. Zhongli, hello!"

Chen Luo thought about how to greet this old man who was about to retire, and finally chose a simple greeting.

Zhong Li seemed not surprised that Chen Luo could speak human language, he nodded and continued.

"Every move of Qixing is watched by everyone in Liyue. Maybe after a while, there will be a trend of keeping slimes as pets among young masters and ladies of various families."

"Then let them go, I don't care about that."

Keqing replied helplessly.

Liyue Seven Stars, as the noble people who rule the whole land of Liyue, are in charge of the commercial operation of the entire Liyue Port.Naturally, he was watched by countless business people all the time, wanting to curry favor with Qixing and get what he wanted from them.

Maybe it's a piece of information, maybe it's a promise.

The Seven Stars each perform their duties and are in charge of different fields. Ningguang controls power and law, while Keqing is in charge of land and construction.

Keqing doesn't care about these courteous gazes, she often leaves related matters to Ningguang to be responsible.I am doing my own job of doing a good job in the land and people's livelihood in a down-to-earth manner.

"Master Yuhengxing specially invited me to Xinyuexuan today, presumably because he has something important to discuss."

Zhong Li said lightly.

"Yes, yesterday I saw a group of treasure robbers in the cave. They summoned strange creatures through the magic circle recorded on this parchment... I would like you to take a look."

Ke Qing took out the parchment and handed it to Zhong Li.

Zhong Li took the parchment, looked at it carefully for a while, and said.

"I have never seen this kind of writing. This is not the writing of Tivat. There has never been a country that uses this kind of writing in the seven kingdoms of the world. But I can distinguish the formations recorded in it. It contains the summoning of things outside the world. A formation of abilities."

"Sure enough...the monster they summoned doesn't seem to be a native creature of Tivat, at least its structure is very unusual."

"Master Yuhengxing, can you describe it in detail?"

Keqing briefly described the characteristics and abilities of the Beast Hound.

"This kind of monster, I recognize...they are not the first time they have appeared on the Tivat continent. Rather, they are closely related to the abyss."

"Abyss... Are you saying that the monster was summoned from the abyss?"

Zhongli nodded.

"The formation recorded on this parchment has the effect of summoning creatures across space, and the abyss is naturally one of them."

Zhongli's statement is consistent with Chen Luo's analysis of the results through the ability of law and law.

This magic circle can summon creatures from other worlds, and the outer world closest to the Tivat continent is naturally the abyss and the dark sea.

At that time, the energy source provided by the treasure robber group to the magic circle was the element potion that was blown away by Keqing. Perhaps the energy level in it was insufficient, so they could only be summoned from the nearest abyss.

If the energy is sufficient, maybe some troublesome big guys can be summoned from a more distant place...

"Judging from the newness of the paper, it has been in Tivat for about three or four months. Master Yuhengxing intercepted it from the treasure robbers, and it must have been found in some ruins."

"Well, I roughly understand its efficacy and function, thank you, Mr. Zhongli."

"It's just a hands-on effort."

At this moment, Chen Luo also raised doubts.

"Mr. Zhongli, since they don't belong to this world, how did they come here?"

Chen Luo asked Zhongli this question, of course not just to get an answer about the parchment, in fact, which world it came from is not important to Chen Luo.

What Chen Luo wanted to know more was how he, the being who carried the core of the Herrscher of Reason, came to the Tivat Continent.

Perhaps, what Zhongli said about the parchment can give it some answers.

Chapter 14 Stubborn Stone

"If the world is compared to a bubble, from time to time there will be things floating in the sea entering the bubble... This parchment is probably the same."

"Well, it seems a bit difficult to understand... In short, I understand that this is not a local product of Tivat."

"Hehe, in fact, for most people, this is something that cannot be touched in a lifetime. Lord Yuhengxing does not need to care too much. Traveling through the world, crossing the sea of ​​stars, and traveling across the ocean, people who really have this ability are far from ordinary people. Far."

"But since it has come to us, I have to make some countermeasures. By the way, Mr. Zhongli, I still want to ask..."

Keqing's gloved finger landed on Chen Luo's head, and tapped Chen Luo a few times.

Sure enough, Keqing was still very curious about her own existence.Now that Zhong Li was invited to help clarify the matter of the parchment, she planned to stop by and ask about Chen Luo.

Zhong Li naturally knew what Ke Qing wanted to ask, and his eyes were on Chen Luo.

"It's not a miracle in Liyue that non-human things can understand human language."

"Well, I have indeed seen the crispy rice in Wanmintang, and the long-lived one raised by Boss Baishu in Bubulu. However, compared with bear snakes and the like, slimes are still much...uh , is it different?"

"Life is just so wonderful, even the sparks from the collision of rocks, or the eternal star, may bring the opportunity to give birth to a heart. Therefore, the mind born in a slime is not incomprehensible on the Tivat continent." thing."

"That's right, Mr. Zhongli is right."

"is that so--"

Keqing looked at Chen Luo suspiciously.

"Hehe, Lord Yuhengxing, please rest assured, little brother Chen Luo is a genuine slime.

"Speaking of which, I heard that rock slimes are naturally fond of precious stones. I just happened to find a stubborn stone in the market yesterday. If I have a chance today, I will share it with you."

Zhong Li spoke unhurriedly, took out a stone from his body, and put it on the table.

This stone seems ordinary, but since it was pulled out from Zhongli's hand, Chen Luo thinks it must be something not simple.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhongli."

Chen Luo moved and swallowed the stubborn stone that Zhong Li put on the table into his body.
