Genshin Impact: I, the Prince of Winter, rule over the world

Su Yu's current accomplishments in the wind element are almost catching up with Barbatos. The fragments of the lonely king in the tower are just useless to him, but they are still full of great attraction to many ordinary people present.

The gods gilded the outlines of desire with seven radiances to show that their power was within reach—

Since the birth of mankind, the pursuit of the power of the seven elements has always been the tireless goal of mortals.

"510 million moras!"

"550 million moras!"

"600 million moras!"

Wealthy businessmen and dignitaries from all over the world began to compete for the fragments of the Gale Demon God, hoping to gain the power of the Demon God and improve their own strength.

Moreover, in the past few years in Teyvat, rumors have come from unknown sources, saying that the power of the demon god can increase the life span of mortals, so humans have begun to pursue the power of the demon god crazily, but if they absorb the power of the demon god excessively, the human body will not be able to withstand that kind of power. And became possessed.

In the Solstice Kingdom alone, many tragedies occurred due to excessive use of the power of the devil.

In the pursuit of strength and longevity, human ambition will be infinitely magnified.

Seeing Su Yu staring at the auction items, Morax said: "This is a hateful and pitiful tyrant. He built a ring-shaped city to protect his people. However, the people knelt down to worship the lonely king on the tower. Because of its worship, it was blown by the violent wind so that it could not lift its head. When the rebellion began, its dream was completely shattered..."

Morax told Su Yu some of that hidden history.

However, in the eyes of others, he sounded knowledgeable, but in Su Yu's eyes, these were just his memories.

When Zhongli finished telling that period of history, the fragment of the Solitary King of the Tower was sold for 820 million molad, and the buyer was a local rich man in Liyue.

Ji Fang and the staff opened a large mural and smiled: "The third auction item is a rubbing mural. The main body of the mural is located in the south of Inazuma. I believe many people here have heard of that place. , which was called Heguan, about 2600 years ago."

"The ancient civilization of Heguan is still full of mysteries. The rubbings of the murals may contain the secrets of that ancient civilization. Whoever can break the murals may find the truth about the destruction of the Heguan civilization."

"The starting price is 100 million molas!"

The proprietress Ji Fang's eloquence is really good. After this publicity, everyone's enthusiasm for bidding was aroused again.

Heguan is located on an island that is shrouded in fog all year round. It is difficult for ordinary people to enter. The rubbing murals can indeed be a feast for the eyes of those who are curious.

As for the truth behind the destruction of Heguan civilization, even the Ice Queen was vague, but Su Yu had already figured out part of the history from the murals.

The Heguan civilization that believed in the "three goddesses of the moon" had mastered the knowledge and technology of an earlier super-ancient civilization. As a result, it was sanctioned by Sky Island and the Cold Sky Nail was lowered.

The Nail of Cold Sky affected Heguan's ley lines, causing it to be destroyed, the same fate as the ancient snow mountain country of Fendenir.

Maybe this is not the complete truth, but for Su Yu, the research value of Heguan Civilization is not very great, and there are more things worthy of his energy and efforts.

"Mr. Su Yu, please help me take pictures of these murals."

However, at this time, Zhongli on the side asked for help.

However, you asked for help but did not mention the matter of Mora. You are really used to being the God of Wealth.

Seeing that Su Yu did not reply directly, Zhongli explained: "These people know that I am well-informed. If I offer a price, it will only prove that these things are treasures and are priceless, and the competition will be more intense. Don't worry about Maura, my credibility is Liyue has seen it for all to see, and I will return it to you when I have collected all the money."

"I'm not worried about Maura. Zhongli, tell the truth. Are you here for the auction because of these murals? Of course you can keep it a secret. As you said, everyone has secrets."

"It's okay to tell you, I am indeed here for this. The world always wants to push through the fog of time and explore the truth behind it. However, some wisdom and knowledge are dangerous baits and traps carefully laid by hunters. I am also interested in those truths and Knowledge is full of curiosity, but I know the price of obtaining the truth...and Liyue cannot bear those prices."

Morax was playing riddles, but Su Yu could probably guess that the destruction of Heguan civilization involved Sky Island. Morax wanted to protect Liyue, so he didn't want the Liyue people to be involved.

However, the contract of Liyue's business transaction was a law he had made personally. He could not use force to rob, and stealing was not in line with his status.

So how can we abide by business contracts without letting dangerous murals fall into the hands of others?

The answer is to buy it yourself.

Su Yu even thought that the reason why Morax was penniless was not just that he was not used to the life of ordinary people, but that he spent all his money on bidding.

Perhaps, he suggested that Ji Fang run this auction because he wanted to use this method to allow sellers who hold dangerous goods to sell their goods at the auction openly. In this way, it would be easier for him to take action.

While the two were talking, the price of Heguan's murals rose to 350 million molas.

"500 million moras!"

When Su Yu reported this price, no one at the scene competed with him. Instead, some boos were heard. They probably all thought that this young man was taken advantage of and it was not cost-effective to buy it with 500 million molas.

But if they noticed Zhong Li's beaming smile, they probably wouldn't be so naive.

"There are a total of eight auction items in this auction. The fourth item is auctioned below, the alien monster from Inazuma, the Deep Sea Dragon Lizard!"

Ji Fang announced.

"When we, the adventurers from Liyue, went on a mission to Haiji Island, we accidentally discovered the people from the Abyss Mission. They captured a deep-sea dragon lizard from nowhere."

"The warriors of Liyue drove away the forces of the Abyss Mission and brought the Deep Sea Dragon Lizard back to Liyue Port. In the oldest myths and legends, the Deep Sea Dragon Lizard may be the descendant of the Dragon Clan, and its body contains the thin blood of the Dragon Clan. "

"Because this deep-sea dragon lizard died during transportation, it is now just a corpse, but its research value is still very high. The starting price is 100 million molas!"

Chapter 59 Auction ([-])

"Deep sea dragon lizard, it's interesting..."

The Deep Sea Dragon Lizard comes from Haiji Island. To be more precise, it comes from Yuanxia Palace on Haiji Island. That secret realm is also called White Night Kingdom.

The history of White Night Kingdom predates the Demon God War.

The great snake demon Orobas hid in Yunxia Palace in order to escape the killings of the demon war.

When Su Yu left Inazuma last time, he was in a hurry and did not have time to explore Yuanxia Palace. In fact, the biggest secret there was the forbidden book "Before the Sun and Moon" which recorded the history of the war between the First and Second Thrones of Sky Island. 》——

At the beginning of ancient times, the continent of Teyvat was ruled by seven dragon kings, each of whom mastered an element.

The first throne from outside the world, the original god Phanes, defeated the Dragon King of the Seven Elements, and then created humans and animals, as well as mountains, rivers, flowers, plants and trees.

Phanes' contribution to the continent of Teyvat is equivalent to Nuwa's creation of human beings, equivalent to Pangu's transformation into mountains, rivers, sun, moon and stars after his death.

In short, he ushered in a new era.

Later, the Second Throne arrives.

The Second Throne came to Teyvat, and its appearance was tantamount to revealing to the human ancestors at that time——

God is not eternal, nor is he unique!

This directly shook the foundation of theocratic rule, weakened mankind's belief in the gods, and caused mankind to begin to doubt the sacred and unchangeable absurd world rules established by the First Throne for mankind. The impact of this was that at that time Humans began to be curious about the world outside the continent of Teyvat.

Eventually, due to various conflicts, the First Throne and the Second Throne broke out into a cruel life-and-death war. It was after that battle that the Yuanxia Palace sank underground.

According to the author of "Previous Events of the Sun and Moon", the original god Phanes defeated the Second Throne and was the winner of this war.

However, is this really the case?

A copy of the book "Before the Sun and the Moon" was found by Barbatos and hidden in the basement of the Mondstadt Library. The original is still stored in the Palace of the Deep, waiting for travelers and Paimon to discover it——

As Su Yu had speculated before, the outcome of the war recorded in it should be wrong, so Sky Island did not punish Mondstadt or Yuanxia Palace by lowering the Cold Sky Nail.

The winner of this war is the "invader" Second Throne!

Phanes was actually dead or imprisoned, and Sky Island was occupied by the Second Throne.

The Second Throne continues to rule the continent of Teyvat in the identity and name of the legal creator god of the First Throne.

In today's seven-ruling system, the mastermind behind the scenes is none other than the Second Throne.

The "murderer" who used the Nail of Cold Sky to destroy Heguan, the ancient snow-capped mountain country Fendenir, and the ancient country Kanreia is also the second throne.

"The Abyss Religion is studying these creatures with ancient bloodline. It's really a headache."

While Su Yu was thinking a lot, Zhongli let out a sigh, seemingly worried about the Abyss Order.

Su Yu said: "For thousands of years, Abyss has never given up proving that the throne above the sky is an outsider, and has never given up taking revenge on the Red Moon Goddess, one of the three goddesses."

The "three moon goddesses" appearing on the Heguan murals are the Kongyue Goddess, the Red Moon Goddess and the Yuanyue Goddess.

"Mr. Su Yu really knows a lot of secrets."

"I met a friend in the Abyss Order and learned some information from her."

Su Yu looked at the body of the deep sea dragon lizard on the exhibition stand again and said, "It's just a pity that the light realm power contained in the body escapes after death, otherwise it would be good to use it for research."

"Light world power?"

Zhongli heard a word that was unfamiliar even to him.

"Zhongli, have you heard about the three realms of light, human and void. There are three realms in the Teyvat continent, so there are three attributes of power, the power of the light realm, the power of the human realm and the power of the void realm. This deep sea dragon lizard's The power is the power of the light realm.”

"It is true that there are three realms, the light realm, the human realm and the void realm. But the power of the three realms is really a new concept. Can Mr. Su Yu give me some advice?"

Zhongli took the initiative to ask, and Su Yu explained: "The power of the light realm refers to the pure and original power of elements; the power of the human realm refers to the power of human memory and belief; the power of the void realm refers to the power of the abyss. The three realms The forces repel each other and maintain a dynamic balance."

"I was taught a lesson and greatly inspired."

Zhongli clasped his fists in thanks.

Although there are seven gods in Teyvat who know more about the past than ordinary people, they may not know more than Su Yu about some secrets of the Teyvat continent.

In the end, the deep-sea dragon lizard was bought for 300 million molas, and the buyer was none other than the wealthy businessman from Fontaine.

"Haha, this thing is very rare. It is as rare as the legendary 'Mermaid'. Only Yuanxia Palace has its legend. Although it is a corpse, the internal organs can be handed over to the Royal Academy and the corpse can be made into a specimen for exhibition. , guaranteed to make a huge profit."

"Boss is amazing."

The wealthy businessman and the beautiful assistant in Fontaine were chatting loudly, looking towards Su Yu from time to time, as if to show off his shrewd business acumen to Su Yu.

Zhongli reminded: "Mr. Su Yu, he has strong malice towards you, so you have to be careful. If you are worried about your personal safety, you can hire me as your bodyguard while you are in Liyue. The cost will be deducted from the mola owed to you. That’s good.”

"No need. He is already a dead man."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"The Deep Sea Dragon Lizard is a thing of the Abyss Order. After this auction, the buyer who buys the dragon lizard will definitely be targeted by them. And with the character of this Fontaine businessman, he will definitely not allow the Abyss Order at that time. People snatched his things, and the consequences of desperate efforts were death."

Zhong Li questioned: "I have a different view than you. He is a well-known rich man in Fontaine, and he will not break out into a conflict with the Abyss Cult for such a small profit."

Su Yu picked up the tea cup and smiled without answering.

Wanwen Jishe's auction took a break for more than ten minutes and then resumed.

The proprietress Ji Fang beamed with smiles. In today's auction, Wan Wen Ji She took a commission from every transaction and made a lot of money.

Moreover, the quality of the next four auction items was also quite high, and even she was moved by the final item in the auction.

"Dear distinguished guests and friends, let's auction the fifth collection."

More than a dozen staff from the auction house carried up a large box. Judging from the effort of several people, the contents of the box were heavy.

Ji Fang peeled off the red cloth covering it, and what came into view was a dark, irregular stone. The surface had traces of weathering and water erosion, showing that it had been washed by water for a long time.

“Everyone, please look carefully——”

Ji Fang asked the staff to close the curtains of the auction house, and the hall fell into darkness.

And from the cracks in that big stone, wisps of faint light were reflected!

"Let me introduce to you, this strange stone comes from the depths of the rocky abyss."

"I heard someone say that this is a rough stone, that's right! This rough stone has not been cut in any way, and no one knows what is wrapped inside."

"It may be wrapped in gold, it may be wrapped in agate and jade, it may be jade and amber, or it may be the rarest element crystal, or it may even be a luminous creature from ancient times. But it may also be a group of fireflies!"

Ji Fang's half-joking introduction whetted everyone's appetite.

"In short, it all depends on luck as to which treasures can be cut out. And any treasures that are cut out belong to the buyer!"

There were exclamations from the scene.

Even in Liyue, which is rich in minerals, luminous stones are very rare, and one as big as this has never appeared before.

Luminous stones are usually valuable in Liyue, and the prices vary due to different causes of luminescence, but without exception, each piece can be sold for a high price.

"The starting price is 888 million molas!"

Chapter 60 Auction ([-])

"888 million molas? It seems a bit expensive."

There were complaints in the auction hall.

"This stone weighs at least four to five hundred kilograms, and its shape is very complete. Even if it is not gold or jade, it is still a gem. If a rare item like elemental crystal is found, tsk tsk, the wealth in exchange will be It’s enough for you to sit on the ‘Seven Stars of Liyue’.”

"Stop dreaming. Boss Ji reminds you, there may be a bunch of fireflies inside. This thing is called a gambling stone. If you cut out good things, you will make money. If you cut out garbage, there is no place to cry."

"Wang Laoer, do you want to monopolize this rough stone? Who is eligible to come in today? Who has not experienced ups and downs, and who can scare you with small tricks? I will give you a price first to help everyone. 1200 Wan Mora!”

"I want to order this rough stone for 1500 million molas!"
