My vest is absolutely fine

The maintainers of the laws of heaven are stronger than those in power in the world seven, and because of the heart of God, the maintainers of heaven can even control the actions of the seven in the world to a certain extent, and now they have handed over their hearts of gods His own strength has some influence, but Zhongli can guarantee that he will not be easily influenced by the maintainers of heaven.

Now, those who entrusted the Heart of God include Mond's Wind God, Liyue's Rock God, and Inazuma's Thunder God.

Without the Heart of God, Zhongli and the others would be out of Sky Island's control.

[I don't know how the Tianli maintainers are able to let a group of strange people occupy the bodies of Liyue's people, but in the land of Liyue, there are too many immortals. 】

[These people who occupy the body of others are targeted by the gods because of the difference between the soul and the body. 】

[As a fairy, it is very common to have the ability to enter the dream, and it is precisely because of this that after careful inspection of Liyue, there are fewer and fewer existences that occupy other people's bodies. 】

[Especially those who have the eyes of gods, someone once wanted to replace the Liyue Seven Stars, but as the Liyue Seven Stars, they all signed a contract with me. 】

[The price of becoming Liyue Seven Stars is to protect Liyue and the people on this land. This is my constraint on Liyue Seven Stars as the God of Contract. 】

[Because they have obtained the corresponding rights, they must pay the corresponding price and bear certain responsibilities. 】

[Because of the existence of this contract, although the maintainers of heaven want to replace the souls of these people, I have always been vigilant, and in the end I can only choose to give up and focus on those thousands of ordinary people. 】

Recalling what happened in the past few years, Zhongli frowned slightly.

Before Zhongli retired, she didn't know what happened to the maintainer of heavenly principles. She would keep taking away human souls and stuffing a strange soul into the soulless body. But judging from her sudden change of style, I'm afraid her There is someone instigating behind it.

I have tried to search for relevant information, but Sky Island is too high a plateau. On the land of Liyue, Morax, the rock king, has the supreme power. With thousands of years of experience, no matter what secrets he wants to know , are easily obtained.

But Morax didn't know much about Sky Island.

The last thing I've heard about Sky Island is from Vanessa of Mond.

She is the founder of the Mond West Wind Knights and the Lion of the South Wind in the Guardian of the Four Winds.

Vanessa is a bronze-skinned, tall, red-haired girl in a gladiator costume.

She was originally a member of the Munata tribe who believed in the god of fire. When she was young, she wandered on the grassland with her elders. After encountering the dragon Usa, she and her tribe drifted to Mond and became a gladiator. Because of her encounter with Wendy, she changed own destiny.

After that, Vanessa and Wendy set off a revolution to overthrow the nobles, which Morax knew.

In fact, this struggle also has a certain relationship with the rock king Morax.

In this struggle against the nobles of Mond, Vanessa united the people of Mond, but it was a "secret agreement with the wind" that caused many soldiers of the nobles to defect.

The content of the secret agreement is a treasonous transaction.

The high-ranking nobles turned their backs on the wind and sold everything in Mond to the neighboring rock gods.

At the end of this secret agreement, there is engraved a sacred symbol that no god can do, and its name is "Emperor Rock King".

But in fact, the signature of this secret contract was signed by Wendy, who practiced a fake signature in order to tease Yanshen.

After Morax knew this, he thought about punishing Wendy the next time he saw him, but Wendy also knew that what he did was immoral, although he did not violate his [freedom] belief, but There is no doubt that it violates the concept of the Rock King Emperor's [contract].

Therefore, after Vanessa rescued Mond and overthrew the noble rule, Wendy never went to Liyue again, because he was afraid of being caught by Morax and taught a lesson.

Although Zhongli was dissatisfied with Wendy's behavior of violating his [contract], they were old friends who had known each other for thousands of years. Not wanting to be beaten, he hid without hesitation.

Zhongli still remembers this matter, it is not over, but what is more important now is not the [contract] forged by Wendy in the past, but this Vanessa.

In order to protect this hard-won everything and the rights regained from the old nobles, Vanessa established the Zephyr Knights.

Fascinated by Barbatos' unruly wind and song, the dragon Tevarin descended to the earth to pay his allegiance to him.

The North Wind Knight ended his wanderings in Mond and settled in Wolfwood.

Liontooth Knight Vanessa, West Wind Knights, East Wind Dragon Twalin and North Wind Knights, these are the Guardians of the Four Winds, the first generation of Mond.

At the end of her life, Vanessa came to the Land of the Wind, and she bid farewell to the city-state she wholeheartedly guarded, leaving behind a legend and a sapling.

Under the care of thousands of winds and the sunshine of countless suns and moons, this sapling grew into a towering giant tree.

Vanessa, who left Mond, landed on Sky Island and became a god, and has been watching over Mond for thousands of years.

Because he wanted to protect Liyue, Zhongli did not go to see the tree in person, but when Vanessa boarded Sky Island, Zhongli also saw it in person. After all, Sky Island is located at such a high altitude that it can be seen by the Seven Kingdoms. Li Moon is no exception.

Chapter 150: Long Thinking Zhong Li and Walnut Going Home

On the continent of Tivat, people call people with the eyes of gods [Original Gods], thinking that they can land on Sky Island and become gods, and this Vanessa has indeed landed on Sky Island, but after all she Whether he has become a god or not, Zhongli is not sure.

Regarding what happened on Sky Island, neither Zhongli nor Wendy knew anything about it, they only had a vague understanding, but they all knew that there was a problem with Sky Island, a big problem that they couldn't solve with their strength.

Faced with the maintainers of the laws of heaven, even with the title of [War God], Zhongli, who had been killed in the Demon God War, could not be sure that he had the possibility of victory.

[All creatures in the Tivat continent cannot escape wear and tear, just because the demon god lives longer, and the impact of wear and tear will be greater. Even I have to face the problems caused by wear and tear. In other words, the state of the maintainer of heaven and law is like a demon god who has been worn out and lost all his emotions. 】

[The former maintainers of the laws of heaven hardly cared about what happened in the Tivat continent, unless they encountered a country or region that used the energy of the earth's veins beyond a certain limit. 】

[And as long as this limit is exceeded, the maintainer of heaven will definitely come and destroy everything in this country or region. 】

[In fact, in the years I have experienced, the only one who is qualified enough to be personally judged by the maintainers of heaven is Kanria. 】

[In the more distant past, there were other countries destroyed by the maintainers of heaven, but the only one we personally joined was Kerriya. 】

[Destroying Kanria is not my will, and I issued a warning to stop using the energy of the earth's veins. This was my thought at the time. 】

[On the continent of Tivat, the erosiveness of the earth vein energy is too strong for ordinary people to bear. Once it is leaked, it will only cause huge casualties to humans. We, the Earth Seven, go to Kerriya to help her destroy Kerriya. 】

[Destroying Kanria is not what I want, but in the face of the crazy attacks of Kanria people, I have to maintain a minimum defense and attack, and under the power of the maintainers of heaven, Kanria is destroyed. 】

[The people of Kanria became Chuchu people, and countless people died of these monsters scattered on the ground. 】

【Inazuma's older sister, the previous Thunder God, was severely injured in this war, and died shortly after returning to Daozuma. 】

[The one who inherits the throne of Thunder God now is the younger sister of the two-handed demon god, Lei Movie. 】

[She was also a participant in the destruction of Kanria. Because of seeing the destruction of Kanria by the maintainers of heaven and the fact that Raiden really died, Raiden made a decision to pursue eternity, hoping to stop the time of Dao Wife forever. 】

[However, only change itself is constant in this world. 】

[Because of the traveler's help, Lei Movie realized this and abolished the eye hunting order, but she still didn't dare to let Daozuma develop with all her strength. 】

"Daqiuqiu is ill~Erqiuqiu look~"

"Sanqiuqiu gathers herbs ~ Siqiuqiu ouch~"

"Five Qiuqiu is dead~Liuqiuqiu is lifted~"

Listening to the indistinct singing outside the Hall of Rebirth, Zhong Li paused slightly while holding the teacup, glanced at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and continued to drink tea.

[It's almost dawn now, so it's no wonder that kid Hu Tao will come back, really, are you too engrossed in thinking about things? 】

Saying this to himself in his heart, Zhongli has no plans to wake Wendy up or give him another room to sleep. After all, although they use the identity of human beings, they are still demon gods in essence. This situation is impossible.

Unless, like Wendy, she not only uses her friend's appearance, but also learns the other person's minor ailments and problems, such as being allergic to cat hair, but is very popular with cats.

Although Wendy behaved like a rakwa and looked extremely weak in battle, but after all she was a demon god and would be allergic to cats and be scared by cats. It can only be said that it was Wendy's own idea.

Zhongli knew that Wendy valued his friends, but it was still unimaginable for Zhongli to abandon his past body and walk on the earth as a friend forever.

However, because of the nature of Wendy Demon God and his own contract that he deliberately forged hundreds of years ago, Zhongli thought about it, but still didn't arrange a room for him, and just watched silently from the side.

"Ah, it's Mr. Zhongli, are you still awake?"

Holding the goma stick in his hand, Hu Tao leisurely jumped from the door into the courtyard, saw the drunk Wendy, and greeted Zhong Li curiously.

For Zhongli, who is older than the old man, he actually stayed up late today to receive a drunk bard who seemed to be from Mond. As if a cute kitten was scratching his heart, Hu Tao's thirst for knowledge became even higher.

Seeing such a walnut, it can be considered that Zhongli, who watched the walnut grow up, was a little distressed, and said to the walnut:

"Master Hu, this bard's name is Wendy, a friend I once knew, from Mond."

"What else is there?"

Hu Tao came to Zhongli's side, found an empty chair and sat down, ignored the coldness of the stone tabletop, put her face on the tabletop, looked at Zhongli with her head sideways, looking delicate and cute, full of spirituality.

Looking at the appearance alone, Hu Tao seems to be just a quirky happy girl, with plum blossom-shaped pupils, long dark red hair scattered behind her, skin like creamy fat, a pair of shorts outlines a round shape, leaving two white and raw meaty legs , Lively and fragrant.

Even though she holds the fire-type God's Eye and has long red hair, this eccentric girl always carries a mysterious and wordless aura.

Zhongli is very familiar with Hu Tao and knows her situation. As the current head of the Hall of Future Lives, Hu Tao has taken over the Hall of Future Lives since she was very young. Great grandfather's funeral.

After growing up, Walnut always appeared and disappeared quickly, just like lightning and sparks running side by side. As soon as he appeared, he turned his blood into firewood and ignited everything.

Hu Tao likes to sing his own poems at midnight, and sells the business of Guishengtang to people everywhere during the day.

Not only that, but walnuts will appear at any time and any place.

Streets and alleys, barren mountains and wild mountains, bright and sunny days, dark nights...

No matter when, no matter where, Hu Tao may suddenly appear, which is also where Zhongli has a headache for her.

Chapter 150: Walnut's Curiosity and the Bard

"Hey~Mr. Zhongli, is this your friend?"

Walnut leaned in front of Wendy, bent over and looked at his face with curiosity in his eyes.

"His name is Wendy, a bard from Mond, who is also my...old friend."

Zhongli kept the cup in his hand, sniffing the warm tea fragrance, and answered the question about the walnuts.

Hu Tao nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly became excited.

"Mr. Zhongli, it's rare to meet a guest from Monde, why don't we sell him the business of our Xiangshengtang?"

Seeing that he suddenly became excited, although he said that he couldn't handle this child, but after getting along for a long time, Zhongli can still guess some of Hu Tao's thoughts.

Wendy looks like just a teenager, but she was able to run from Mond to Liyue and know herself as an "old friend", which shows that he is at least very familiar with the paths of Liyue and Mond.

That said, Wendy is definitely out and about a lot, traveling between countries.

And, Wendy is a bard!

Although this occupation sounds romantic and looks similar to Liyue's storyteller, they are essentially different.

Bards are a special product of the Middle Ages. Among them, there are geniuses, those of noble birth, and those of humble birth.

With his own wisdom, the bard made up many novel stories.

Sometimes invited to the castle of nobles, nobles, wives, young ladies, and their warriors, each sitting around in turn according to their own status, listening to bards play and sing.

On a lucky day, bards can be accompanied by young dancers and song boys, and someone provides an exquisite rest for several nights in a row.

But when it's unlucky, he often carries the violin alone, wandering in the world alone, with no place to stop.

Wendy often goes to the tavern to perform with his piano skills to ask for a glass of wine, which is his pleasure, but ordinary bards are likely to starve themselves to death, such as playing in the angel's gift Like Joseph Sixfingers, he was not confident enough in his skills and was full of expectations for the future, but he didn't dare to take risks for fear that he would starve to death outside.

In order to make themselves popular, bards generally sing popular poems, but not all bards can make up good stories, so they collect stories more and adapt reality.

These bards wandered around, collected all kinds of local legends, told them everywhere, and cast magic with music, making the audience cry sometimes, and sometimes rejoice. This is the life of singing all over the world.

In the middle ages when communication was inconvenient, many people hired some bards with superb skills and good storytelling skills to spread their stories everywhere in order to spread their reputation widely.

As a result, bards have to deal with all kinds of people, so they often become diplomats, coordinators, messengers, spies, or spies.

Hu Tao is quite clear about this point, after all, Mond is very close to Liyue, and many bards have appeared in Liyue.

It's just that the locals in Liyue prefer the storytellers in the teahouses to the bards, who tell stories.

Unlike bards, stories of storytellers can often be told for a long time, because for them, storytelling is a long-term job, and the test is the word-of-mouth and credibility of the storyteller.

If a talented bard deliberately distorts a person's past with malicious language, it is likely to have bad consequences, just like Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang.

In real history, Wu Dalang was an upright official, Pan Jinlian was his official wife, and they were very affectionate, while Ximen Qing was just a street rogue, no different from a modern gangster.

And Ximen Qing, a little bastard, spread the rumors of his affair with Pan Jinlian because of his well-written stories, slandering and belittling Wu Dalang's image, and finally let [Wu Dalang is a three-inch man], [Pan Jinlian is a bad woman], The story of "Ximen Qing is an official" is widely circulated.

The gossip and deceit of a little gangster can completely ruin a person's reputation. If there are bards messing around in Liyue and fabricating some malicious stories, what a bad impact it will have!

The vast majority of ordinary people in Liyue may not notice this, but Emperor Yanwang and Liyue Qixing have noticed. Coupled with the differences in customs and culture between the two places, storytellers who have long-term work and are trustworthy have become the mainstream of Liyue. , it is extremely difficult for bards to take root in Liyue.

In the case of bards, it is almost impossible for them to stay on a piece of land for a long time.

In addition to the dangers encountered during the journey, although the Tangshengtang is engaged in the business of Liyue people, it is not the case that the Tangshengtang has never received foreigners.

Although Hu Tao doesn't know much about the funeral etiquette of foreigners, and hasn't received many guests from other places, there are also records of the bard's reception in the Hall of Rebirth.

Human energy is limited, and most people cannot achieve both civil and military skills, and reach a very high level at the same time.

Bard, as the name suggests, is a profession related to literature. Although they travel around, they mostly rely on their status as bards to avoid danger.

You must know that the vast majority of bards are out-and-out poor ghosts. If they have wine today, they are drunk today, and they will worry about tomorrow. Few of them can have a stable income. Loot these poor people.

You know, the most powerful thing about bards is their mouths.

Although there is not much force, it is possible to attract the attention of the people and exaggerate the danger of the treasure robbers through the sung poems.
