Holy Lord from Teyvat

Chapter 136 Everyone is in their place

"We've finally arrived at Liyue Harbor."

Paimon looked at the huge archway in front of him and sighed.

Kong looked at the other side of the archway and said, "Yes, Liyue Harbor, we are finally here."

Xiangling walked up to the two and turned to face them: "Ahem, you two, welcome to Liyue. The Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony will be held today. You will only have this chance to see Lord Yan every year."

Paimon: "So, where is the Seven Stars Summoning Ceremony held?"

Xiangling: "The Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony is held once a year at Yujing Terrace. Only the great men in charge of Liyue are qualified to preside over it.

And Lord Yan, also known as the God of Yan, our Emperor Yan, will give out oracles at the Summoning Immortals Ceremony every year to guide the direction of Liyue for the year."

Sora: "Then let's go."

At this moment, Xiangling's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed: "Um, Kong, Paimon..."

Paimon: "Huh? Xiangling, what's wrong with you?"

Xiangling: "On this day, my family is usually very busy. There are only Dad and Guoba at home, and I'm afraid I can't handle it. So..."

Not only are there a lot of foreign tourists during this period, but today, many locals will also have a holiday, so Xiangling wants to go home to help. After all, Yujingtai is not difficult to find.

Kong and Pai were confused.

Kong: "It's okay, you can go home and help first, we can find Yujingtai by ourselves."

Xiangling nodded: "Well, let's meet up at my house later. Oh, and let a black shadow ninja follow me first, so that it will be convenient for you to come over later."

……

High above Yujing Terrace, Zhongli hid the figures of three people and carefully observed the area below.

As for the other two…

Wendy: "Zheng Tian, ​​you still have a headache."

Zheng Tian sat steadily in mid-air, carefully examining the contract in his hand: "It's not a headache, the content of the advertisement was personally handled by Hu Tao.

I was actually thinking that the first advertisement for Alien Food on TV was actually for Wangshengtang. It feels so weird. "

Wendy: "Then why did you agree to it?"

Zheng Tian recalled that after lunch yesterday, Hu Tao came to him again. She said that she suddenly realized how big the business opportunity was for Zheng Tian.

At that time, Hu Tao put his hands together and prayed, "Please, Zheng Tian, ​​your reputation, combined with the TV you have, will definitely play an excellent role in publicity."

Originally, Zheng Tian was not going to agree. Even if he wanted to advertise, it was too weird that the first one was for Wangsheng Hall.

However, Zhongli said that the Hall of Rebirth could help find things in Wuwangpo, and some of the things there could definitely be used in Qi magic.

Zheng Tian put away the contract: "Wangsheng Hall gave too much."

Wendy looked in a certain direction and said, "Don't think about it. Sora and the others are here. Shall we go see them together?"

Since he had nothing to do anyway, Zhongli would arrive at the appointed time immediately, create the special effects first, and then take out the Immortal Ancestor's Transformation that he had prepared long ago and put it down.

Zhongli actually wanted to see Sora and Paimon’s reactions when they first arrived at Liyue Harbor.

The three of them quickly found Kong, who at this time had split into two groups.

Sora and Paimon, who waved goodbye to Xiangling, had already started asking the locals for directions.

Guan Hai: "Oh! Are you also foreigners who want to watch the Seven Stars Summoning Immortals Ceremony?

Really active... Come to think of it, I've lived in Liyue for decades, but I don't think I've ever been there to see it. This is what they call "attractions that locals don't go to"...

However, I hope you have a pleasant trip! Liyue welcomes you!"

above.

Zheng Tian: "Oh, this is the last time. This guy won't have a chance anymore."

Wendy: "Additionally, this time it won't even end smoothly."

……

Linlang: "Emperor Yanwang gives out oracles every year to guide the direction of managing Liyue that year.

Last year, the one who invited the oracle was Yuheng, one of the seven stars of Liyue."

Kong: "The Seven Stars of Liyue?"

Paimon: “Hehe, I know this!

Just as Mondstadt is a "free" city-state, Liyue is a "contract" kingdom that values ​​commerce and trade.

The seven great businessmen representing the seven commercial forces, the "Liyue Seven Stars", are the actual controllers of this country."

Linlang: "Oh, foreigners always say that. But the real ruler of our Liyue will always be the Geo King.

The Seven Stars are human beings, and the Emperor is a god. The God of Freedom is not in Mondstadt, but our God lives forever.

Words are not enough, you can understand it if you experience it more in Liyue Harbor...

Now that we have just left the "city where God is absent", it is time to experience our "history of walking with God."

In the sky, Wendy used his divine power to transmit the content of the conversation to the ears of the three of them.

Zheng Tian looked at Wendy and Zhongli, "It seems that the people of Liyue are very proud of Morax's traveling with the people of Liyue. However, the Emperor of Liyue is about to step down."

Zhongli: "I will continue to travel with Liyue, but in a different way than before. The Geogod will probably not show up again."

Zheng Tian looked at Yujingtai, then looked at Qunyu Pavilion in the distant sky: "Who knows?"

Wendy: "Eh? Zheng Tian, ​​do you have any ideas?"

Zheng Tian nodded: "A little bit."

Zhongli: “I would like to hear the details.”

Zhongli really wanted to hear what Zheng Tian, ​​a visitor from another world, would think of the situation in Liyue.

Zheng Tian: “Well… the following only represents my personal opinion.

In Liyue, merchants rule the country. Merchants pursue profits, and to become a big merchant, they must make a lot of profits. In this process, it is inevitable that desires will expand. In this system, those who are destined to rise to the top are those who constantly enrich their own pockets.

It cannot be denied that some businessmen are indeed concerned about the country and treat their employees well, but this system... At this time, we have to mention the existence of the immortals, especially the Rock King Morax and Yue Haiting's secretary Ganyu.

Geo Emperor is the ruling god of Liyue and Liyue's old father. He walks with the people and personally controls the general direction.

What about Ganyu? The Liyue Seven Stars have changed generation after generation, but Ganyu has never left that position. The selection of the Seven Stars cannot be circumvented by her. Ganyu is not only a secretary, but also a representative of the immortals in Liyue politics and a supervisor. The Seven Stars can replace their own people, but as long as they are not stupid, no one wants to replace Ganyu, and no one can replace Ganyu.

Thus, Liyue has maintained this political system for thousands of years. No matter how much trouble the people of Liyue make, they are still under your control.

But now, the Geo King is leaving, and this will inevitably affect Ganyu... It's hard to say what will happen to Liyue in the future."

Memories flashed through Wendy's mind, and she looked towards Mondstadt: "Yes, people's hearts are complicated. When New Mondstadt was established, I never thought that Mondstadt would develop its own tyrant.

When I woke up a thousand years ago and suddenly saw the atrocities committed by those nobles, my mind was really confused. "

Zhongli looked down at Liyue and said, "So what I said was that the Geo God 'probably won't show up again', not 'definitely won't show up again'.

However, I also believe in future generations. Just like the current Liyue Seven Stars, there will always be good people. I believe that even if one day the Liyue high-level officials are all unworthy of their positions and oppress the people, there will always be people in the future generations who will stand up. If necessary, I will secretly guide them as a human being.

Of course, by then I might have to make some drastic changes to Liyue’s system.”

Zheng Tian nodded: "Yes, and don't forget that the immortals' inheritance is still there, and the Eye of God will shine in the hands of some people with firm beliefs, and the fire of resistance is still there.

If one day even these two things are gone, then…"

Zhongli: "Then I don't have to worry about these things. Because the immortal inheritance has been cut off and there is no God's Eye in the world anymore, it means that a huge crisis may come. Even I may be gone. What the people of Liyue will have to face at that time is probably how to survive."

Zheng Tian: “…I was just about to say that.”

Below, Sora and Paimon were still walking around, unaware of the discussion above.

……

Bo Lai: "Do you also want to see the "Seven Stars Inviting the Immortals Ceremony"? I do too! Everyone wants to!

As a businessman, how can I not pay attention to the most important business dynamics in Liyue! Last year, the 17 oracles caused a lot of market shock.

And since the beginning of this year, there have been rumors that Lord Ningguang of "Tianquan Star" has made some moves in secret...

She wants to exclude the rocks created by the "Eye of God" users from the scope of minerals in the tax definition. "

Paimon: "This... is a very professional field of law."

Bo Lai: “Haha, people who always pay attention to the oracle and the market are also one of the charms of this commercial port.

The Emperor is the oldest of the Seven Gods. We have always trusted his strategic vision.

If you are the first to know about this year's oracle, you might be able to get ahead of others and seize the opportunity to make a fortune! "

Paimeng instantly perked up: "Get...get rich! Then may I ask, how do I get to Yujingtai?"

above.

Zheng Tian: "Hearing them talk about getting rich, I suddenly have two questions."

Zhongli: "Oh? What's the problem?"

Zheng Tian: "Mora means heavy metal, and also the flesh and blood of Morax. So, if we cook the magic molt prepared by Zhongli and eat it, should we say it is eating meat or eating metal? Will it cause heavy metal poisoning?"

Zhongli: "..."

Wendy looked thoughtful: "Well, from a universal rational point of view, your two questions are very interesting. I need to think about them."

Zhongli's face darkened: "From a universal point of view..."

Zheng Tian and Wendy looked at Zhongli at the same time.

Zhongli looked at the two and continued, "You shouldn't discuss this kind of topic in front of me."

Zheng Tian laughed awkwardly: "Haha, sorry, sorry."

However, Zheng Tian and Wendy looked at each other, and both of them showed that they were still very curious.

Zhongli: "..."

Are these two guys really planning to eat Fatai?

Yujingtai.

Sora and Paimon finally came here under guidance.

Paimon: "I heard that wishes made on this day every year are very effective. Do you want to try it?"

At Paimon's suggestion, Sora went to make a wish. At the same time, they also attracted a lot of people's attention.

At this time, the preparations for Yujingtai have been completed, and Ningguang and other official personnel who need to be in place have also been in place.

There were also quite a few onlookers on Yujing Terrace, many in the open and many in the dark.

Tartaglia and the Doctor led a number of people to watch in secret.

Tartaglia's current plan is simple, first observe, collect intelligence, and then look for the possibility of seizing the Heart of God. However, he believes that it is very likely that he will use the Hundred Unforbidden Scrolls and the divine power granted by the Ice Queen to unlock the Demon God and start a war.

As for other aspects, he basically had no idea where to start.

Just rob it like a lady? He can't rob it, and he, Tartaglia, is belligerent, not suicidal.

Unlike the Wind God of Mondstadt, the Rock God has not given up ruling his kingdom. This is known to everyone. Moreover, Liyue was originally founded by the Rock God Morax, who led his people to fight in the war between demons! There are still some demons in the sea next to it.

Lead the Liyue authorities into a conflict with Zheng Tian, ​​and then cause Zheng Tian to fight Morax? It's not easy, at least he, Tartaglia, doesn't know how to do it.

After all, Zheng Tian didn't act like a villain, but rather a good guy, and it was good enough that he didn't go against his plan. That's why the doctor said that the news of Zheng Tian's arrival was unfortunate for him.

Tartaglia: "Look, they're coming."

Doctor: "The little chef is not here, and Zheng Tian hasn't shown up yet. It seems we need to keep paying attention."

Tartaglia: "It doesn't matter if you pay attention or not, just don't cause me any trouble."

In the center of the venue, Ningguang quietly waited for time. However, Ningguang's assistant Baiwen suddenly approached quietly and whispered in her ear.

At this moment, Bai Shi in the distance showed an envious look on his face.

Ningguang: "Yes, I understand."

Bai Wen retreated, and Ningguang began to think.

Kong and Paimeng have already arrived, but Xiangling has not appeared. She is probably back at Wanmin Hall. As for Zheng Tian, ​​there is still no trace of him.

Tsk, Zheng Tian’s departure was too abrupt. Even if the intelligence personnel observed Zheng Tian and his group at the stone gate, they did not dare to contact them without orders, otherwise Qixing would have arranged people to greet them.

However, with Zheng Tian's personality and the company of the Great Sage, nothing serious would go wrong. He should first consider the current ceremony of inviting the immortals. Then, he could deal with the Fatui and the stronghold...

Behind the crowd of onlookers, Grandma Ping looked around, glanced at Kong and Paimeng who were making a wish, then looked up at the sky, which was the direction where Zheng Tian and the other two were.

"This day has come so suddenly. I hope the chaos can be controlled in a short while."

Thinking of this, Grandma Ping finally turned her attention to the hiding place of Tartaglia and the Doctor, her eyes becoming sharper.

"I also hope that the Fatui can behave themselves. I am confident that I can still protect some people.

Besides, the three above will not sit idly by.”

With many people watching, Sora and Paimon made their wishes, lit some incense, and finally joined the crowd as they were watched.

Paimon: “Wow, there are so many people…

Let’s go a little further! We can’t see anything clearly from the back.”

After saying that, Paimon used his flying advantage to fly over people's heads and fly forward.

I wanted to go to the front but could only squeeze through the empty space: "..."

Once upon a time, I could fly.
