Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

In the casting workshop underground in the Golden House.

Ye Lan understood Ke Qing's eyes and walked calmly to the alchemy machinery that was still operating normally.

Upon closer inspection, you can see that this machine indeed looks like a temporary piece of equipment for testing. Many of its cores and pipelines are exposed, and it is not even the slightest bit worse than its original majestic appearance.

Yelan squinted her eyes and measured the angle between the instrument and the corridor with her hands, and then the blue Eye of God around her waist flickered.

The next moment, the sound of the corridor collapsing suddenly sounded in the underground confined space.

The travelers and Paimon's eyes widened in unison. They saw the alchemy device flip over backwards and hit the tunnel where the golden liquid was flowing.

The machinery was instantly penetrated by high heat, evaporating a large amount of black smoke. The tunnel was cut off by the remains of the device, and the overflowing yellow liquid was slowly solidifying.

Yelan slowly retracted the life-enhancing thread on her finger and cast a meaningful look at Keqing.

"Is this evidence enough?"

"……certainly."

Keqing nodded in understanding. She quickly took off the seven-star golden house passage token from her waist, stuffed it directly into the traveler's hand, and raised her hand to point Yelan and others to the deeper parts of the workshop. path of.

Then, under Yingmei's surprised and puzzled gaze, Ke Qing cleared her throat and shouted loudly: "Qianyan Army, listen to the order, there is a thief deliberately destroying the facilities of the Golden House! Come and arrest him quickly!"

Before Ke Qing finished speaking, Ye Lan grabbed the traveler's wrist, dived into the phantom woven by the thread of life, and pulled Yingmei to run in the direction pointed by Yu Hengxing.

"Eh? Hey! Wait for me!"

Paimon spun around in the air blankly, and then hurriedly chased the traveler, leaving Zhongli and Keqing looking at each other in confusion.

"Aren't you going to leave, Mr. Zhongli? When the Qianyan Army finds out...even if I am the person in charge of this operation, I can't blatantly let you leave."

Ke Qing has always disliked hypocrisy and coercion, and he expressed his feelings directly at this time. However, Zhongli, who was deep in thought, did not respond immediately. Instead, he maintained his usual calm and calm look, and his eyes stayed on the long sword held by Ke Qing. .

This sword is cold and sharp, and the hilt is inlaid with emerald green jade fragments. It must be a top-notch weapon made by a famous master. Keqing's soft and light body lines perfectly neutralize the weight of the long sword, making it look even more elegant. Somewhat heroic.

But after all, it was not the emerald green sword that Keqing was accustomed to using.

When Zhongli was still on the throne of God, he gave the long-sealed rock green to the Yuheng Star through God's descent, which was used to dispel the darkness and filth of the rocky abyss and explore the truth buried underground.

However, Keqing felt that this sword was proof that the emperor recognized her past achievements.

Although the arrogant Yu Hengxing said that even without this green sword, she could still move freely in the rocky abyss, but when she had a little leisure, she would always gently pull out the jade sword blade and look at it carefully. Wipe and maintain.

It's a pity that this ceremonial sword, which was exquisitely carved from pure jade, was eventually shattered by Famas' palm.

When the war ended, Yu Hengxing wanted to find the broken sword blade in the battlefield, and when he was about to entrust Liyue craftsmen to recast it, he only found a few scattered jade fragments and the hilt burned by the flames.

Keqing was depressed about this for a little while, and filled with regret, she put the remaining remains of the Panyan Jielu into a luxurious sword box padded with velvet, and then devoted herself to Liyue's heavy reconstruction project without hesitation.

Those who go can not be remonstrated, and those who come can still be chased.

At this time, Zhongli stared at the hilt of the long sword in Ke Qing's hand. After thinking for a long time, he raised his head and glanced at the dome of the casting workshop. Then he raised his hand without any hesitation, holding a basalt-colored long sword. The sword appeared out of thin air in Zhongli's palm.

The long sword carved from stone is simple in style, wide and thick. The rock-white blade shimmers with light. The pattern on the tail of the sword is clearly visible. It is almost impossible to see the wear and tear of the years, but it makes people feel that it has a certain long-lasting effect. breath.

The long sword did not show its luster in Zhongli's hand, but after seeing the appearance of the long sword clearly, Ke Qing felt her heart suddenly start beating wildly.

"During the turbulent period of the world, even the people who grew up in the hard rocks will have their hearts cracked by pain, and doubts, confusion and despair will bloom." "The emperor then performed a miracle, from pure to without impurities He cut out a long sword handle from the golden amber and slashed a corner of the mountain with the sword, thereby making a supreme and solemn contract to his people: Those who are separated will surely gather and return; those who break the contract will be punished..."

"Breaking the contract means becoming the enemy of this land. Sooner or later, the mountains cut off by the emperor will fall on the heads of those who break the contract."

This is a folk tale that every Liyue storyteller is familiar with, and it is also the origin of the "Blade of the Peak".

However, according to the research of the Seven Stars of the past, during the Demon God War, the Rock King Emperor did slash the mountains with his sword to make a contract with his people.

Lord Yan's solemn contract is still running in the world of Liyue, but the blade of Zhufeng itself is just one of the countless folk sayings in the ancient land of Liyue whose authenticity is difficult to distinguish.

Because no one can produce strong evidence to prove that this long sword that symbolizes the alliance between Liyue's ancestors and the gods really exists.

There are also legends claiming that many years later, the true owner of the Kaufeng Blade will reappear in the world. At that time, the sword will once again emit golden light and cut off the greatest injustice in the world. However, except for children with heroic dreams, apparently no one will Take this prophecy seriously.

The long sword now in Zhongli's hand is almost identical to the "Blade of Kaufeng" that the General Affairs Department restored and simulated based on the legend. The long golden light emitting from it makes people doubt that this is the weapon that the emperor once used.

"This sword is sealed in the warehouse of the Rebirth Hall and has been gathering dust for a long time."

"I heard that Master Yu Heng's sword was damaged due to the war. I was lucky enough to see it today. I would like to give this sword to you as a thank you to Yu Heng for leading the army and blocking the enemy general's courage."

Zhongli made up a random excuse and handed the Shibo sword to Keqing. Yu Hengxing, who was thinking about the connection between this sword and the Hall of Rebirth and Zhongli, frowned in confusion, but still raised his hand to hold it. The hilt of the Kaifeng Blade.

The blade emitted a dazzling golden light, and even the wielder had to turn his eyes slightly to avoid it.

Seeing Keqing taking the sword, Zhongli couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He also didn't want to give something that was obviously related to the Rock King to Keqing as Zhongli, but the feasting atmosphere in the golden room had reached its peak.

Even through the barriers of layers of solid rock, Zhongli could still see the intoxicated smiles on the faces of the guests attending the banquet, looking at each other like they were looking at food.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, the people attending the Golden House banquet tonight are all well-known figures from all walks of life in the Teyvat continent. If they die in an unknown manner on the land of Liyue, there may be some trouble.

On the other hand, look at a certain young man sitting in the seat of fools.

He clearly promised Zhongli that he would help quell the rebellion caused by Yinyuan Hall, but now he was hanging out with the executive officer of Zhidong, sitting high in the stands and watching the fire from across the bank.

Sure enough, you still have to rely on yourself for everything.

Zhongli sighed slightly in his heart, only hoping that Keqing could leave early and return to the banquet hall to interrupt the ongoing demon ceremony.

But Zhongli obviously made mistakes sometimes.

Although Famas seemed to be sitting obediently on the seat and tasting the cream cake, in fact he was constantly absorbing the appetite and elemental power that diffused in the golden room.

Otherwise, given the physical resistance of these Liyue dignitaries, they would have already lost their minds due to the influence of the ritual and started killing each other.

To a certain extent, war is the god of cunning, but also of piety.

However, as the temporary officiant of the ceremony, Ning Lan, who was standing in the center of the banquet hall's booth, discovered problems with the progress of the ceremony and looked for suspicious people who would affect the progress of the banquet with a cold face.

Soon, Ning Lan's eyes were locked on Ning Guang in the corner of the banquet hall.
