Yuanshin, no one knows the harem better than me

The old pedant came up and talked about his analysis eloquently.

"As we all know, under the guidance of Lord Yan, the ancestors of Liyue smelted ore and used the original goods to start trade with the countries of the world..."

"Today's Liyue has the sole right to cast Mora in the whole continent. And the world

Not to be outdone, the young female academic with glasses interrupted her opinion.

"According to my research... plus a little guesswork, I think this historically significant Mora may have been passed down as a "keepent" in secret, such as..."

"Will the "Seven Stars" in charge of Liyue have any rituals that are unknown to outsiders before each generation takes office? "

It was the old pedant's turn to rebut.

"No, no, according to my research, this"

"As we all know, Mora is a kind of catalyst. Even today, there are also thaumaturgy that use Mora's efficacy in occultism to strengthen weapons."

"The world

"That is—Yan Wangye used this Mora as a catalyst to strengthen his sword and sword."

The more he listened, the more magical he became, and Xia Tian, ​​who was involved in the discussion and confused, couldn't help wondering: "One knife and one sword?"

Some people are interested in their conjectures, and the old pedant is quite proud: "Hmph, please buy the book and read the full text at that time, now I will only reveal a small part of the secret: you can become Liyue Supreme when you get the sword, and you can get rid of it if you pull out the sword." Crowning the King of Liyue—"

Relying on the sky to slay the dragon?

Xia Tian complained from the bottom of his heart: Are you an archaeologist or a novelist?Does history really depend on compilation?

But if there is such a setting, it seems quite exciting?

Looking at Zhongli, he is the one who has the most right to speak, and he directly denied it: "... I don't agree."

The old pedant was displeased: "Huh?"

Zhongli spoke elegantly and eloquently.

"Not to mention the authenticity of this sword textual research... The original intention of the so-called mora, the so-called money, is just a bargaining chip to facilitate the signing of the "contract". "

"It is the emperor's original intention to guide humans to use Mora for transactions."

"Presumably" in the world

As soon as this remark came out, many people were dissatisfied immediately, and several other scholars also began to question: "Well... I think the old man's hypothesis is very reasonable, but this Mr. Zhongli, without any evidence, just looks down on Lord Qingyan like this far-reaching plan?"

"No...my statement doesn't contain praise or criticism, it's just a statement of a fact." Zhong Li didn't expect that he would have a day to debate himself with others, so he couldn't speak for a while.

"actually

The old pedant began to rely on the old to sell the old, blowing his beard and staring: "Come on, do you understand the Lord Rock or I understand the Lord Rock?"

This sentence is really awesome!

Xia Tian was stunned, and his heart was galloping. It is difficult to describe the shock in words!

In the end, the discussion broke up badly.

Just listen to those pedants who are still talking.

"Lord Yan, you have great supernatural powers... just now, someone started to slander you..."

"Young people nowadays really don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth..."

"Hey, even if we have entered the era of "humans", we should maintain a basic awe of our former "gods"..."

Chapter 810 The Salt of the Ground

It is normal that the specially invited talks did not go on happily, because many so-called "discussions" are actually no discussions at all, but just one party trying to persuade the other party.

When it was found that they could not be persuaded, it naturally turned into an angry quarrel, and what's more, it would intensify personal attacks.

Fortunately, this dinner is all civilized people.

With his good conversation and knowledge, Zhong Li is already a rising celebrity in Liyue, but he has not yet reached the point where he is regarded as an authority, so it is time to win him over.

But those old scholars did not expect that this outstanding young man would be so disrespectful to "Lord Rock", and even his beliefs and values ​​could not be synchronized, so what is there to talk about?

After several old scholars left chattering, only the young female scholar "Wan Yan" remained.

Unlike most Liyue people who respect the emperor, she has always questioned the emperor's deeds and character. After hearing Zhongli's disrespectful remarks, she couldn't help but be delighted, as if she might have found a friend with a common idea.

Wan Yan seized the opportunity to be alone, and introduced herself: "I haven't had time to tell myself... My name is Wan Yan, I am a staff member of the "Yinyuan Hall", and I am also an archaeologist. "

Liyue's government affairs system is led by the "Seven Stars" and divides its authority into "eight gates" according to its jurisdiction. "Yinyuan Office" is one of the "Liyue Eight Gates" and is in charge of the salt industry.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Zhong Li still had a refined and easy-going appearance, not at all influenced by those old scholars.

Wan Yan asked expectantly: "Mr. Zhongli, if it's convenient, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course." Zhongli sipped tea quietly, his eyes signaled Xia Tian to wait a moment.

"What I said next is a bit disrespectful to the Rock God. If I offend you... please forgive me."

Wan Yan made an apology first, and then said: "Just now, I saw that you are very eloquent and have a clear mind. The most important thing is that you don't believe in bragging and romance. You are very objective... So I want to ask you a question, and maybe you can get a different answer from ordinary scholars. ..."

After hesitating for a few seconds, he glanced at Xia Tian who was listening in. Since he is Mr. Zhongli's friend, it should be fine.

Then he asked: "Sir, do you think that all the demon gods killed by the rock god are evil?"

Zhongli's expression remained unchanged, and Mingbo's eyes never wavered, which showed that his words were absolutely true: "...good and evil, let alone, Yan Wang Dijun respects the "contract", so the demon god who died at his hand must have broken the contract." Some kind of "contract". "

Although he didn't make it clear, he has already expressed his position. The Emperor Yanwang will not do wrong things... This is one of the few prides, right?

Such an answer is not what Wanyan wanted, so she couldn't help but get excited and put forward arguments: However, when I was archaeological, I learned some legends about the "Demon God of Salt"... "Demon God of Salt" Heulia, She is a kind demon god, but she was killed by Morax in the war—”

The girl frowned, with sadness and resentment in her expression: "But she was assassinated by Morax...with dishonorable means!"

Xia Tian raised his eyebrows, drank a big sip of tea with interest, and put on a good appearance of watching a play.

Originally, I was annoyed to kill an NPC halfway, and delay my time to talk about business, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to hear the history of the Demon God War period...

Xia Tian turned his gaze to Zhong Li, wanting to hear the party's defense.

"This... is indeed a long history, but the truth of the story may not be what you want to know."

Zhong Li seemed a bit embarrassed, not because he couldn't say it, but because he didn't know where to start, so he needed to choose the right words.

Wan Yan was overjoyed. Sure enough, the knowledgeable and talented Mr. Zhongli had also studied that period of history, perhaps even knowing more than herself.

She couldn't wait any longer, and she didn't even have any honorifics anymore: "It's okay, please tell me all the history you know! This matter... I have been investigating this matter for a long time!"

dong dong——

It was the sound of feet stepping on the stairs, and in a hurry, someone came up.

"Oh, here it is! Mr. Zhongli! Oh, I've been looking for it for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be here!"

Very energetic voice, it sounds like a spirited guy.

Wan Yan was already dissatisfied at being interrupted in the conversation, and she was even more displeased when she saw that the visitors were dressed like fools: "Fools?"

Fools' reputation in Liyue is not good, and it is because the Beiguo Bank has done a lot of good deeds recently that it has improved... Otherwise, I am afraid that they will not be able to get on the flower boat even if they get the invitation letter.

"Uh...the reaction shouldn't be so intense, right? I'm not a combatant, I'm just an archaeological researcher from the Winter Kingdom, named "Clement", and I'm not here to trouble you..."

Obviously unbelievable, fools will always make the people and animals they pack harmless, and then do a lot of troublesome things.

Clement explained again: "This time, I have already reported to the Liyue General Affairs Department... If you want to see it, I have the official permission document here... I will conduct archaeological exploration in Liyue for a period of time, All exploration results will be shared with the authorities!"

As the country with the longest history, Liyue is also the area with the largest scale of the Demon God War, leaving behind a large number of ruins, and archaeologists from various countries often come here.

"Archaeology" is a public welfare act to a certain extent, as long as the success is shared, it will generally not be hindered.

After seeing the permission document, Wan Yan's hostility subsided a little, but she still couldn't believe it.

Anyway, he didn't come to see her, so Clement ignored it and bowed to Zhongli: "I heard that there is a guest in the Hall of Death, named "Zhongli", who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He is my advisor...it must be Your Excellency, right? "

Although he is wandering around in the world, Zhongli still has his arrogance. He never got up when facing the salute, and nodded slightly in return: "That is to say, it is the work of Xiangshengtang... Since it is work, there is no other way. As a guest of Xiangshengtang, you must respect this status."

In the past, most of the tasks were chosen by Zhongli himself, but recently Hall Master Hu said that the Hall of Eternal Life cannot make ends meet, so more business must be done, so many tasks are no longer chosen by Zhongli, but forced into them.

Clemente was overjoyed: "Sure enough, he is a reasonable person! Then let's go to the "Salt of the Earth" now..."

The words stopped abruptly, and there are still unknown elements around, so don't reveal your purpose at will.

How could Wan Yan let the information at his fingertips fly away, and immediately stopped in front of the fools: "Mr. Zhongli, my question just now..."

Suddenly realizing the destination of the fools, he immediately changed his request: "Can I go with you? I am also an archaeologist, and I can provide a lot of help!"

The crowd of fools will refuse, he is going to touch the treasure, naturally the less people follow the better, but after hearing that the girl is also an archaeologist, he changed his mind... With one more expert, the evaluation of the value of the treasure will be even better Accurate, you can pick out the valuable ones!

"That's fine, just add you."

Clemente agreed without any difficulty, and heard Zhongli invite again: "You too! That is the story before the establishment of the seven gods system... Although the demon god has passed away, the next experience may be different. It will be helpful for your future journey...and after that, I will also consider your request."

I can guess that Xia Tian has something to look for me, otherwise it is impossible to go to the "Zhudian Boat" for no reason.

Xia Tian didn't really want to go, but Zhong Li said that it would be helpful for the future journey, thinking that this guy is finally willing to speak and stop being a riddle?

And he also said that he would consider his own request later, which is equivalent to playing with him this time, and he can successfully complete Ningguang's commission, right?

Although Clemente didn't know Xia Tian, ​​he could tell from his feeling that this person was not simple, and he was definitely not easy to fool, so he wanted to stop him as much as possible: "Wait, this is an archaeological team, not a sightseeing group! There are too many people! "

"That's right, why don't you stay here, and after we go to search, we'll share the information we got when we come back?" Zhong Li was out of school and knew how to threaten people.

Clement was honest immediately: "Um... There is nothing wrong with having more people, it's safer."

........................

........................

"Salt in the Ground" is close to Mond, and it is more convenient to go through Yaoguang Beach and Mingyun Town by water from Yunlaihai.

Borrowed a boat at "Zhudianfang". Of course, it is impossible and unwilling for Xia Tian to be a group of relatives and friends accompanying him, and he is not willing to be a free laborer. Teyi worked hard, but he had no complaints, and he rowed very hard. It can be seen that he is looking forward to this treasure hunt.

Under Xia Tian's calm "assistance", the boat arrived at the destination in less than half a day.

At dusk, the sea is painted red.

"Salt of the Earth" is an isolated island surrounded by lakes, but the ground under its feet is not pure soil, but is filled with old stone bricks and tiles, as if it is a remnant of ruins.

[Respectfully seal the trace in the salt, there is no reason to open it]

An ancient stone tablet stood next to a cave sealed by an enchantment.

Look again, there are several similar stone tablets around, listed in different directions, all of which have the characteristic of reacting with elements.

It seems to be an institution that needs to be decrypted.

There is no need for Xia Tian to waste his brain, let alone the presence of the omniscient and omnipotent rock king, if those two archaeologists can't even break this seal, then there is no need to do archaeology, just go back home!

"I heard that the "Salt of the Earth" used to be the place where the people of the "Demon God of Salt" lived, so hehe...there should be valuable cultural relics everywhere! "

Before the seal was released, Clemente was already salivating, imagining the treasures: "Whether it's an ancient object or a trace, it would be even better if there are a little fragments of the demon god's limbs... In short, maybe there will be a big harvest! "

Demon god stump?Did this guy slip up?

But seeing Zhongli didn't express anything, Xia Tian was too lazy to meddle in other people's business.

Zhongli explained patiently: "It is said that under the protection of the "Demon God of Salt" Heulia, her people did enjoy a prosperous life for a period of time...but this legend has been passed down for a long time, and patronizing here There are countless scavengers and treasure robbers, and there should not be many valuable things left in the wild. "

"Haha, since I specially invited Mr. Zhongli to come here, it's naturally not because of the cheap goods that can be picked up everywhere... Cough, cough, "

Clement coughed a few times to cover up his almost exposed ambition. He should be an upright archaeologist now: "I know that there is a relic deep in this cave, which is related to the "Salt Demon God"...Actually, that It is also the original origin of the name "Salt of the Earth"! "

For archaeologists, these are not secrets. The problem is that the barrier that seals the ruins has never been opened for thousands of years.

Wan Yan also spent a lot of money looking for the holders of the God's Eye of different elements to come here, but they all returned without success: "But the entrance to this relic has been sealed by a mysterious force, and no one has been able to unlock it... Could it be that you Can you untie it?"

Clemente looked proud, but instead of clapping his palm on his chest, he pointed at Zhongli: "Oh, we have Mr. Zhongli here! He seems to know everything, it's just a seal, it won't trouble him."

This person is also an archaeologist?

Wan Yan shook her head helplessly: "This seal has existed for a long time, everything about it is a mystery, even Mr. Zhongli..."

"—a little understanding of the doorway."

Hearing a word suddenly, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "...Huh? Huh?!"

Since Zhong Li agreed to come, he naturally wanted to do something instead of simply sightseeing and preaching: "There are many rumors circulating about the seal, which seem to be messy, but in fact imply the method of unlocking the seal..."

"There are several strange elemental obelisks around here..." Wan Yan shared her experience as much as possible for Zhongli's reference: "In order to investigate this seal, I specially invited someone who holds the "God's Eye" As a result, nothing happened after the obelisk was lit, and then it went out..."

Zhong Xin said slowly to Ming Jing.

"Actually, not only do they need to be activated at the same time, but if the steles here are not lit in the correct order, the seal still cannot be released."
