Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 522: A world where only the young master is injured

The golden sunlight spreads over the top of Tianheng Mountain, and the breeze blows by, bringing a little coolness. Opening the hotel window and looking into the distance, you can see the continuous mountains in the distance. Looking down, the sparkling sea is right in front of you.

Liyue Harbor in the morning light unfolds like a picture scroll, with houses arranged in an orderly manner, red brick walls and green glazed tiles complementing each other; people are bustling, some are in a hurry, some are walking leisurely; the market is noisy, with shouts and bargaining sounds interweaving, noisy and full of vitality. The South Pier in the distance is extremely busy, with countless large and small ships docked at the shore, loading and unloading goods or preparing for long voyages.

The huge sailing ships are hung with brightly colored flags, fluttering in the wind, as if showing their pride and glory after going through countless storms; the sun shines on the sea, shining with dazzling light, as if dyeing the entire sea surface golden, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

This is the scenery that Yingmei saw when she woke up in the morning.

The traveler was lying by the window of the room in Baiju Inn, gazing at the distant sea level, not knowing what she was thinking about. The ribbon around her neck fluttered in the wind, her blonde hair was flying, and the girl's unique charm and vitality made her look particularly cute.

But the hotel room was a completely different scene.

Paimeng, who had just gotten up, was sitting at the small dining table in the room and eating heartily. The golden shrimp balls, crab roe tofu, squirrel fish and dragon beard noodles in front of her disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, making people wonder how Paimon's small stomach could hold so much food.

"Hmm... Ying, are you sure you don't want to eat something? The noodles in this restaurant are really delicious!"

Paimon sucked the last bit of noodles in the bowl into his mouth and stared at the half bowl of noodles left by the traveler.

"Eat now, Paimon...and clean up quickly after you finish eating. The Emperor of Rock King's ceremony of sending off the immortals is about to begin."

The traveler turned around and shook his head, looking at the water clock that was squeezed into the corner by all kinds of dishes. He estimated the time before giving a reminder.

Although they had only slept for more than two hours, the Traveler and Paimon were both full of energy given their physical conditions. However, the confrontation between Zhongli and Famas last night was still vivid in Yingmei's mind, and the focus of their dispute and the fate of Heulia still concerned Yingmei.

Zhongli said that he would answer their questions after the Immortal Sending Ceremony, but this also made the traveler a little uneasy. She was not sure whether she should ask about the long-hidden truth, and she didn't know how to treat Famas and Zhongli in the future.

Considering that this was the farewell ceremony for Emperor Geo, there must be a lot of Liyue people watching the ceremony. The traveler tidied his clothes in front of the bronze mirror in the room, and then took little Paimon, who had just finished breakfast, to rush to Yujing Terrace.

However, before she reached the garden construction site at the foot of Yujing Terrace, the girl was forced to stop.

Because the people of Liyue who were rushing to watch the ceremony had already lined up at the steps of Yujing Terrace, not to mention how grand the Yiyan Hall, the site of the ceremony, was, it was likely that all the people of Liyue, except for the Thousand Rocks Army on duty, had come here to mourn their gods.

The crowd was noisy and bustling, and the travelers had to hold on to Paimon and rely on the physical fitness formed by long-term adventures to climb over eaves and walls. They used the elasticity of the green bamboo to climb up the stone wall next to the stairs, crossing the crowded crowd.

There were many knights in the Liyue Mountains, so the traveler's ability to leap over rocks was not new. However, the girl's speed slowed down a lot, and she could hear the whispers of the people around her:

"Hey, you said that the demon god in the sea didn't just appear for no reason, right? It has been suppressed by Lord Yan for two thousand years."

"Yes, and it happened to happen at the critical moment when Prince Yan was in trouble. In my opinion, the one who assassinated Prince Yan and released the Demon God are the same force!" "Yes, yes, that makes sense! Those foreigners must have colluded with the Demon God to murder Prince Yan. Alas, these bastards have such evil hearts!"

"The one who can kill Lord Yan must not be an ordinary person! I heard that the assassin belongs to the Fatui, a young man who holds a high position... I think his name is Gongzi? Those ruins guards, cavalry and the like are all his subordinates."

"The Fatui... a bunch of greedy guys who always do these evil things! Fortunately, we have the Seven Stars and the travelers from foreign lands..."

As Yingmei listened along, she suddenly realized that the targets of Liyue people's condemnation were all the Fatui and their nation of Winter Solstice. The names of the Northland Bank and Munatar were hardly heard, not to mention Wendy and Tevarin who provided assistance.

The words "the blond traveler from a foreign land" were mentioned many times by the people of Liyue, causing Yingmei's face to slightly blush when she heard them.

She didn't actually do anything. What really ended the war was the tacit agreement between Famas and Zhongli to stop fighting.

The traveler tried hard to ignore the noise around him and focused on getting on with his journey, but he didn't know that the current mainstream public opinion in Liyue was the result of the confrontation between multiple forces.

Apart from Venti, the only people who knew the whole story of the Emperor's fake death were the two gods who fought against him. Although Ningguang was one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, she was just a chess piece with relatively large weight. After everything was settled, she would have to clean up the mess of the Emperor's fake death.

The immortals in Jue Yunjian might have guessed Zhongli's deep meaning, but since it concerns the death of the Emperor, the people of Liyue need the current rulers to give specific investigation results and put an end to the matter. Otherwise, rumors will spread and people will be in panic, which will be detrimental to the future governance of the Liyue Seven Stars.

After all, cases in Teyvat from ancient times to the present have proved that if history is not corrected, the unofficial history will probably be very explosive.

But the Seven Stars of Liyue obviously cannot afford to offend the Munata forces represented by Famas. If the public opinion of murdering the emperor is directed at Famas, and the god of war who has existed since ancient times is angered, then Liyue, which has lost its emperor, will not be able to withstand a few blows from the other side.

  And if we put the blame on the Northland Bank represented by Pantalone... now the materials and funds for rebuilding Liyue are still waiting for compensation from the other party. If Pantalone is really forced into a corner and cuts off the other party's financial resources in Liyue, the bankruptcy of the Northland Bank is a small matter. Where will the future compensation go?

Liyue does have a contract jointly signed by the Geo Emperor and the Ice Queen, but this contract may become a dead letter at any time. If Pantalone deliberately delays the mobilization of materials or even persuades the Winter Queen to tear up the contract, what can the Liyue Seven Stars do to the other party?

Even if the contract stipulates that those who break their promises shall be punished by being eaten by rocks, and the Emperor faked his death and wandered the mortal world, Ningguang cannot find the Emperor's mortal body. She can only ask him to go to Winter Solstice to collect the debt. By then, the Snow Country will be heavily guarded, the strength of the top three executives of the Fatui is enough to rival the devil, and there is also the mysterious Ice Queen. The Emperor will be alone, like a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth.

Being in a high position, one's hands are bound to be restricted.

After careful consideration, Ningguang had no choice but to direct public opinion to the entire Fatui organization, and pointed out that the manipulator behind the scenes was the Fatui executive named "Chief". As for why the Northland Bank was able to escape from public opinion, of course, Pantalone's efforts were indispensable.

Although the Bank of the North is the seat of the Fatui's diplomatic mission, it is not owned by the Fatui, but is the private property of Pantalone, a formal lending institution from Solstice.

"The assassination of Emperor Rock King is a conspiracy of the Fatui. Mr. Pantalone of the Northland Bank is also a victim!"

No matter how outrageous the reason sounds, Liyue Harbor is so large that as long as it is deliberately guided, the storm will gradually fade away.

This is what they mean when people say something.
