Genshin Impact: Emperor

"Probably because there is no collection of condensation in it."

Dadalia patted her flat backpack and whispered.

"I'm the same as Mr. Zhongli, and I don't need it."

Ying said that she was only here to learn more, listen to stories, and accompany Mr. Zhongli on a tour of the mountains and rivers, so naturally she didn't have to intervene in it to ask for cultural relics.

She knew like a mirror in her heart that she didn't help anything in the treasure hunt. If she borrowed Zhongli's kindness to ask for a cultural relic, it would be embarrassing, but she owed him a favor, and the last thing she wanted was to owe someone a favor for no reason. , let Mr. Zhongli owe her.

Moreover, he had already given him a treasure in Guyun Pavilion.

"Think about it again, it's the collection of the Demon God of Salt who was once rich!"

Paimeng wanted to persuade her to agree, but Ying firmly refused. Seeing her firm expression, Zhong Li looked at Dadalia and Wanyan, "What do you two agree?"

"Of course I don't agree! This contract is too unfair. This guy said he was an archaeologist on the surface, but he couldn't help me a little bit in Guyun Pavilion. Why can she even get along with me even if she fishes in troubled waters?" Minute? "

Dadalia objected angrily, "And after all, I was the one who organized today's treasure hunt. Mr. Zhongli is also a consultant I hired with a high salary from Hall Master Walnut. You are my man! Since you are my man , then you should listen to me! Not only do all the treasures in the ruins belong to me, but most of them can belong to me, right? I would rather give the other half to Mr. Zhongli than you to this guy!"

"It's very reasonable. If you are willing to give it to me, then I will give the half to Miss Wanyan."

"??? This is not the case, my old man.

"Miss Wanyan also helped me a lot in deciphering the salt in the ground, and I deserve a lot of credit.

Dadalia looked at him dumbfounded, Wan Yan blushed slightly, and snorted coldly, "I don't agree either, this foolish executive opens his mouth and keeps his mouth closed, he doesn't respect cultural relics at all, who knows if he will?"

Taking out the treasure of the Demon God of Salt and ruining it is unacceptable to me. "

Zhong Li hugged his chest, shook his head and said, "Since you all don't accept my contract and have no intention of signing it, then I can't do anything and continue to act as a consultant. For the next road, please go ahead on your own. Are there any traps, mechanisms, The test, the value and origin of the cultural relics, please rely on your own experience to identify the two."

It's not impossible for me to support myself.

But the truth is, I can't do anything.

No matter how weak the Demon God of Salt is, he is still a Demon God. Even after death, he is still not able to handle it. What kind of traps and cultural relics are left in the ruins after death? Morax, the contemporary of Heulia, can know the history of (dace) that era like the back of his hand.

Dadalia could only agree with a wry smile.

"Okay, then I'll just accept it. Without Mr. Zhongli, can I still rely on this half-hearted woman?"

"Hmph, impolite executive officer. Since she agreed, I agree too, but I have a request... no, request."

"Please say."

Wan Yan stared at him with burning eyes: "If you find the truth about the victimization of the Salt Demon God in the ruins, I hope you can tell the truth, even though the truth is not good for Morax."

"The truth?" His golden pupils stared at her: "People only believe the truth that she wants to believe. The exchange is so, and I can accept it. Then the contract is complete, and those who break their promises will be punished by eating rocks."

罚0

"May I ask, what kind of rock will I eat if I violate the contract?"

Dadalia weakly raised her hand to inquire, and Zhongli smiled, "You don't want to know. Let's go, it's time to unravel that dusty story.

The salt in the ground, as the name suggests, the remains of the demon god of salt are located at the bottom of the terrain here, is it like a cave created by immortals?Not necessarily, it seems to exist under the Clear Water River.

When descending through a five-meter-square cave

The ten-foot-deep waterfall formed by the tributaries of the Bishui River flows through the side walls of the cave.

The water vapor filled with fluorine, patting the cheeks for a while.

On the protruding black stone wall, there are many glass bags that can only be found on cliffs. After falling to the ground, looking up, it looks like a frog in a well looking at the sky.

At this time, it was night, only a corner of the vast galaxy could be seen, only one of the Big Dipper could be seen, and the sky was shining, as if they were curious about what they could find in this relic that no one had set foot in for a thousand years. s story.

The cave is not deep or shallow, and the terrain is not complicated and layered. Although there are many places where water accumulates, there are only two forks.

Not too dark either.Many night mooring stones and amber in the cave are shining with faint blue and golden light, illuminating the

!one!

Wall, everyone quickly discovered the correct way to the depths one by one

— A slightly salted cave crevice.The flow of the wind goes inward, which is a negative pressure zone, which can be passed by one person.The scene inside is not clear, it seems to be a magic circle leading to the ruins.

"Please come with me."

Zhongli entered first, and everyone followed. After a burst of light and shadow intersected, Ying clearly felt a slight sense of weightlessness when passing through the magic circle. The extremely shallow and low-pitched wind whispered in her ears, and the sound of water disappeared completely, leaving a gloomy silence around her.

When I came back to my senses, I was already on the ground, and I arrived at a closed cave that was obviously salted, and at the brightest place in front of me, at the end of the steps, a still magnificent temple shone coldly against the background of the luminous stone.

"There??? is the remains of the Demon God of Salt?

"That's right, watch your surroundings and follow me closely."

Chapter 180 Second City of Salt

Ying repeatedly nodded, and when she looked around, she suddenly let out a cry.

Because she found several sculptures of people, because they looked so similar to people, and they were only half a meter away from her, so she was taken aback when she focused on them.

"These statues...seem to be made of salt."

Paimon stuck out his tongue and licked it, expressing a feeling of foodie, Datalia reached out and knocked, wondering if there was any treasure hidden in it, but the solid one was not empty.

"I don't see it, and such a lifelike craftsmanship is really the craftsman level of that era? These sculptures seem to be begging someone for mercy, Mr. Zhongli - what do you think?"

"If I'm not mistaken, these sculptures... should all be followers of the Salt-Demon God back then."

"Ah? A believer?" Wan Yan's tone was full of astonishment, but the texture of the skin, eye pupils, hair, and details of clothing that could still be seen on the sculpture after thousands of years of wind and frost made her unable to escape and had to accept this. Confusing facts.

"How is it possible, the Demon God of Salt is a kind god, it is impossible to do such things... I know, they must have betrayed the gods, and thus suffered this disaster. What secrets are hidden in this ruin..."

"Go on."

In the ruins, there are no other buildings except the dying temple in the front. The traces of history between the vast world have been completely weathered and collapsed, and there is nothingness outside the road without any sound.

quiet vacuum,

It seems to show the original uncivilized appearance of this land.

Climbing up the steps, you can meet many sculptures that look like the previous cave entrances on the road. The closer you are to the temple, the more salt-like sculptures, and the postures are different.

The road can only record the traces of history, but cannot tell the story at that time. The sobbing wind that echoes from time to time sounds particularly infiltrating.

Ying could only follow Zhongli with curiosity, and soon came to the first main entrance of the temple.

But the door was sealed by a magic circle similar to the one on the ground before, making it impossible to enter.

"I can't get in, so do I still need to decrypt it?"

Dadalia looked at the cup-shaped cultural relic enshrined on the stone platform behind the magic circle, and kicked the motionless sealing circle, which rippled like ripples on the water.

"Don't you know the Demon God of Salt like the back of your hand? Nuo, the professional field has arrived. Let me impress you by giving you some solutions."

Dadalia squinted at Wan Yan, but she saw Zhong Li staring at the magic circle thoughtfully, and she chose to give up quite simply:

"At a time like this, I'm not going to make a fuss. I'd better leave it to Mr. Zhongli. He seems to have an idea."

"really.""

Zhongli nodded, and everyone focused their attention on him, knowing that he was about to start telling stories.

"This temple is the last residence of the displaced people under the protection of the City of Salt, the Demon God of Salt. It is deep underground and isolated from the world; it is similar to the City of Wind in the ruins of the Wind Dragon in the past,

Surrounded by several layers of salt layer condensed by divine power, it is absolutely impossible for mortals to break through.

But the purposes of the two rulers are completely opposite.

Shielded by the strong wind, Gale Demon God does not want his people to see the outside world, just to consolidate his rule, restricting the freedom of his people is just for his own selfish desires.

In the city of Saltlock, Heulia just wanted to protect her people from being displaced and disturbed by the war of demon gods.

She loves her people.

But that war cannot stay out of it.She has been retreating steadily in the Demon God War, and there is no one in the territory. Although this gentle Demon God has never joined the battlefield, in troubled times, tenderness is the most useless emotion.

Only when there is love in the heart can we move forward.

Heulia loves her people, but she doesn't understand the true meaning of love.

This is the first test.

Only by knowing that there is love in my heart can I pass through this seal and step into her temple.

However, this thing must be true. "

Just as he finished speaking, Zhong Li closed his eyes, raised his front foot, and passed through the magic circle with ease.

"Just like this, close your eyes and feel the person you love, the world of little love and big love, and then, step in, and have the key to enter the world of the demon god's mind. The reason why this world can survive until now is all It is because the power of the demon god is maintaining, even though she has long passed away."

"Understood!"

Dadalia nodded heavily, frowned and thought about what she loves, hey, why is it suddenly difficult to choose a question that should be easy to answer?

Since it is the mental world of the demon god

Then... you must treat it with sincerity,

what do i love

I love my sister Tonya, and brother, family...

Well, that's right.

When I raised my heels to step into the temple, what lingered in my mind was the sad and beautiful image of the empress.

I love Her Majesty the Queen.

Sure enough, he stepped into the temple without any hindrance.

"Mr. Zhongli, I'm coming in!"

"If I'm right, it's us Liyue that "Young Master" loves. "

"Mr. Zhongli, please don't speak ironically."

Watching Dadalia's expressionless face, Ying pursed her lips into a smile, patted her chest to calm down, "Then...it's my turn.

- What am I in love with?

Ying subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Zhongli. He who was talking with Dadalya felt something, turned around and looked at her, and was slightly taken aback, and the sharp golden pupils of Danfeng gradually overflowed with tenderness.

A red cloud flew over her cheeks, and the redness of her skin spread from her neck to the back of her ears. She hurriedly lowered her head to hide her embarrassment, and found that she couldn't calm down.
