Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 434 The Holy Relic in the Salt
"It's not the mortals and the immortals that decide how far Liyue can go, but the maintainer of the laws of heaven."

"One day, Liyue, who has lost her god, will also touch the boundary of the sky, and Qixing will face a similar choice as me."

Famas refuted Zhongli's metaphor disdainfully, and then stretched out his hand to ask for the salt cup seized from Clement.

"According to Liyue's contract law, if the two parties who signed the contract fail to continue the contract for some reason, the contract will automatically terminate."

"And you said that as compensation for the mistakes made thousands of years ago, everything except Liyue Port belongs to me."

"So, the person who can decide the final ownership of the salt cup... should be me?"

Hearing what Farmas said, Paimon and the traveler looked at the boy in red in surprise.

At the very beginning of the adventure, Famas voluntarily gave up the contract of taking things sequentially, why does he want to get Heulia's salt cup back from Zhongli now?
"Will the relic of the Salt Demon God increase the power of Farmas?"

Paimon stroked his chin with his fingers in thought, and suddenly he clenched his fist and slammed it on his palm as if he had suddenly realized.

"Although the salt bowl and salt ruler still have power, they are not worth mentioning to Farmas."

"After losing the heart of God, great power can only come from oneself and authority, not plunder and usurpation."

Zhong Li also frowned and thought about the purpose of Farmas asking for the salt cup, but after a short hesitation, he took out the pottery cup containing snow-white salt flowers and handed it to Farmas who was smiling slyly according to the contract.

What comes out of the nostrils is a faint fragrance of neon clothes and flowers, which well neutralizes the old smell in the secret room that has been closed for thousands of years.

Travelers who have witnessed the past of such an old demon god fixed their eyes on the "King of Man" of the salt soil, and inevitably felt a little emotional: "The demon god of salt, a little pitiful..."

If such a gentle god lived in a peaceful age, at least he would not have ended up like this.

The ability to produce salt has a great economic effect on any country. Perhaps Heulia still cannot rely on her strong power to gain a foothold, but if she wants to attach herself to a country, it is enough to protect the people of one party.

"In the era of the Demon God War, the criteria for judging the good and evil of things are different from now."

"Of course... even I hope that Heulia can be born in a more gentle era."

Zhong Li looked at the salt cup and salt ruler in Famas' hands, and even though he didn't know what the other party wanted to use these relics for, he still gave a firm reminder.

"Although these relics belong to you, the current Liyue belongs to mortals."

"The relics left by Heulia, who lived in the long past, should not be returned to Liyue Port."

"Eh? What Zhongli means...is it not allowed to sell the salt produced in the salt bowl?"

Before Famas could respond, Paimon hurriedly flew to the young man's side and touched the two universal treasures in his hand.

Zhong Li didn't respond, but stared at Famas with piercing eyes.

The pure and white light shines in the ruins of the God of Salt, and the cascading mountains spiral upwards and point to the sky.

In the weathered and fallen rocks and salt slag, the killing and turmoil of that year can be vaguely seen, but trees and green grass are also growing wantonly in places not covered by snow and salt, and even bloom bright flowers.

Famas took the salt ruler, the salt cup, and the broken sword that pierced Heulia's heart, and came to the cave on the edge of the broken road, and threw all the utensils down without hesitation.

"Hey! What are you doing, stinky guarantor!"

It was related to his possible future feast, Paimon's reaction was extremely quick, and he flew to the bottomless cave at the moment Famas threw the demon god's relic, trying to stop the youth in red who wasted money.

However, little Paimon's movements were still a step slow, and the rush was too hasty, if Farmas hadn't been quick to grab the little guy's collar, she would have rushed out together with those ancient objects.

"Famas, let go of me, such a precious treasure... how dare you!"

Even though he was strangled by the back of fate's neck, Paimon couldn't help but waved his hands at the falling relic of the salt god, trying to catch the falling holy relic.

Feeling ashamed, the traveler came over with his hands on his forehead, and knocked Paimon's head with his hand.

But Zhong Li overlooked the relics of the Salt Demon that disappeared in the cave, and Famas with a calm demeanor, and finally couldn't help but sigh.

"The miracle of Liyue Port will be less from now on. The vicissitudes between the earth and the sky can only be left to future generations to comment on."

Travelers can't see Zhongli's expression clearly, but this kind of story... must have happened countless times in Zhongli's memory.

Gods and human beings have never established a relationship of interest for any benefit, but a relationship that exists in the blood, handed down from generation to generation, and share weal and woe.

"Remember what I said? Traveler, you are the one who travels far and wide, across the sea of ​​stars."

"Although Heulia has passed away, as long as the history is engraved in your memory, you can travel to other worlds with you someday in the future."

Until then, the traveler nodded as if realizing something.

"It turns out that the reason why Zhongli asked me to go with him...wasn't it for me to find the treasure chest?"

Xiaoying proudly raised her head, Zhong Li was startled first, then pursed her lips and smiled.

"Hahaha...Then I wish you can find treasure chests among the stars after you leave Tivat Continent."

"I have the alias of God of Wealth, so this sentence is valid."

Before Ying said anything, Paimeng became excited, "Wow! But why is it after leaving Tevat? I hope Ying can also open a lot of treasure chests in Tevat continent and earn a lot of money, so that I can give it to me. Bought a lot of delicious food!"

Little Paimeng's mood changed rapidly, and Zhong Li just nodded with a smile when he saw this.

"Then I wish little Paimon can always find unexpected gains during the journey, and never return empty-handed from every journey."

"Great!"

Paimon happily circled in the air.

Seeing that everyone was chatting enthusiastically, Famas also stepped forward and interrupted with a smile:
"As the God of War, how about I also give little Paimeng a blessing?"

"I just wish that Paimon will have countless Qiuqiu every day in the future... um..."

As if guessing what Farmas was going to say, Paimon hurriedly flew to the side of the boy, and tightly covered Farmas' crow's mouth with both hands.

"Who would like this kind of blessing!?"

Looking at the two people, one big and one small, a smile appeared on the corner of Traveler's mouth unconsciously: "Then Mr. Zhongli, what shall we do next?"

Zhong Li understood Ying's implication, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head towards the girl, with a golden light in his eyes.

"Send off the fairy ceremony soon, tomorrow we will go to the Yinyuan Hall to find Miss Ning Lan."

"She is also a follower of Heulia, the demon god of salt. I hope Miss Wanyan can tell the truth when she returns to Yinyuan Hall, so that she will give up the idea of ​​challenging the authority of Seven Stars..."

Paimeng and Famas were pulling each other's cheeks. Hearing Zhongli's words, the two naive guys quickly let go of each other, and the idiot little follower returned to the traveler curiously.

"Zhongli...you just said that Miss Ning Lan would do something to challenge the authority of the Seven Stars?"

Hearing this, Zhong Li was silent for a long time before nodding helplessly in agreement.

"Based on what I've heard from the Pearl and Tin Boat, I'm afraid Dijun Yanwang's gift ceremony will not be too smooth."

"It is very likely that the Yinyuan Hall will unite with several other merchant families to attack the Seven Stars in the ceremony of sending the immortals."

Hearing such news, the traveler and Paimon widened their eyes at the same time.

Only Famas leaned against the rock wall absent-mindedly, as if he had expected what Zhong Li said.
