Genshin Impact: A set of magic armor at the beginning

Chapter 215 Zhongli's Feelings

Isn't that Zhongli!
Obviously, I couldn't find him after searching for a long time, but now I happened to meet him watching fish.But if you really want to say, he is probably the only person in Liyue Harbor who enjoys fish leisurely like this.

Walking birds, admiring flowers, and appreciating antiques, this is the retirement life of Yan Wang Dijun. Unfortunately, he is still penniless, and can only rely on the support of his son and Xiangshengtang to maintain his life.But now Beiguo Bank is closed, so only the Hall of Rebirth is left.

Zhongli put one hand behind his back, and the other hand seemed to be holding fish food.

He threw some of the feed into the pond, and the surrounding fish immediately swam over to grab it.When all the feeds have been scrambled, they will disperse immediately, which is quite novel for those who see this kind of picture for the first time.

As if he had noticed something, Zhong Li, who was watching the fish, suddenly turned his head to one side, and saw Lin Yan walking towards him.

"Zhongli, I've finally found you." Walking to Zhongli's side, Lin Yan didn't bother to talk nonsense, and directly took out the lock of the world from his pocket.

Zhongli's expression has always been very calm, but the moment he saw the lock of the world, his expression changed slightly. Although it was only for a moment, it was still captured by Lin Yan.

"So that's it. Did you find this from the palace of Guiliyuan? I thought it would take another 2000 years to unearth, but I didn't expect you to find it so soon." Zhongli said, the worldly lock Back then, he personally placed it in Guiliyuan, and that palace was the mausoleum he built for Gui Mou.

According to Liyue's development speed at that time, Zhongli thought that the lock of the world would not be unearthed until more than 2000 years ago, but he did not expect the fact to be beyond his expectation.

Looking at the lock, he seemed to be lost in thought. Scenes from the past played in his mind, and finally turned into starlight and disappeared.

"You haven't unlocked this lock, so you still haven't understood what's on your mind in the end?"

Lin Yan went straight to the point, and this sentence seemed to make Zhong Li's eyes flicker.

He was silent for a while, and then he said after a while: "Although I am called [War God], but [War God] really has only force in the obvious meaning? In terms of universal rationality, as long as it is a demon god, it can With a certain degree of wisdom, this kind of wisdom can be achieved by extraordinary people. And this is also the most direct gap between demon gods and mortals."

"How can I not understand her mind? How can I not be aware of such sincere feelings. "

It turns out that Zhong Li has always known Gui Mo's thoughts on him, but this is not surprising, after all, anyone with eyes can see this, even Lin Yan who is slow to respond, he will definitely be able to find out.

So, as smart as Morax, how could he not notice it?

"So, you are devoted to the people of Liyue and the contract, don't you have any idea about that relationship? So you chose to pretend to be blind all the time. She was besieged and killed by a group of demon gods. The anger you showed was just the loss of friends. anger, is that so?"

"Certainly not, Zhongli, your real thoughts are not like what you have shown yourself. You long for that feeling, but you have to choose to turn a blind eye."

Lin Yan saw through the memory of the lock of the world that after Guishang's death, Zhongli had shown extreme anger, and even Lin Yan felt a suffocating sense of oppression from him at that time.

Could this really be just the grief and indignation of losing a friend?Of course it's impossible, so it's impossible for Zhongli to have no idea about that relationship like Mingmian showed.

Hearing Lin Yan's words, Zhongli was silent for a while: "You are right, how can I not long for that sincere relationship that is stronger than a rock. But can I really do this? I have asked this more than once Myself. The answer I get is always only one—no.”

"I am a human god. My strength comes from my land, and my land comes from my people. My people have made the [God of War] Morax, how can I indulge in my private lust. I have already signed a contract with myself, vowing to protect my people in return for their achievements to me."

"I have already given my heart to the people of Liyue, so how can I violate the contract? Those who violate the contract should be punished with the punishment of eating rocks. As the creator of the contract, I violated the contract. After that, there will be Who follows the rules of the contract?"

"So I chose to turn a blind eye. Until the moment she died, my belief in the contract was even shaken for a moment. Sadness and anger disturbed my mind. I broke the agreement with her and led the army to conquer those The demon god who encircled her."

"The world will eventually die, and the Emperor Yanwang was furious. He led an army to conquer Liyue and pacified Liyue for several months. After slaughtering all the demon gods in Liyue territory at that time, I stood on the top of Tianheng Mountain and looked at Guiliyuan. direction. Although I have taken revenge, my heart still feels extremely empty."

"It wasn't until that moment that I finally understood what she said—[Morax, killing can't solve everything. All you have to do is treat your people well and let them live a happy and worry-free life. Life】."

"So from that day on, I have lived with her ideals. She left the lock before she died. I have tried to open it and learned the secrets hidden in it, but until now, I have not I still haven't found a way to open this lock. Maybe...a contract with her, I can only choose one of them."

"If she can live longer, if she can live until now, if she can live until I become Zhongli, maybe... I can let go of the contract and grow old with her. It's a pity. There is no if."

"If you ask me, give me a chance to start over, will I still choose to turn a blind eye to that feeling? I think, no matter how many times I start over, I will choose to follow the will of the contract. The bright future I and her desire It will eventually come, and I will witness that moment with my own eyes, but in that beautiful future, she is destined not to exist."

"Perhaps, what she loves deeply is the Morax who is as thick and reliable as a mountain for the benefit of the people, a Morax who has given his all for the people, and even a Morax who has always disregarded the love of his children in order to smooth the troubled times. Morax, who abides by the contract."

"We are a kind of people who know how to love our people and how to bestow wisdom on them. [Teaching a man to fish is worse than giving him a fish], we all understand this truth. But now, I no longer It is Morax, no longer the all-powerful [War God], and no longer the [Rock King Emperor] who works day and night for the people of Liyue."

"Now I am just one of many mortals, an extremely inconspicuous gravel in the desert, and a speck of dust in the sky that fluctuates with the breeze. My brilliance has long since passed away, leaving only This body can still shine for the last time. But her brilliance has been extinguished before it can be illuminated."

"I want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus to accompany the wine, but it's a pity when the old man will meet again."
