I'm in Liyue, and I'm the only one in the chat group?

[Master Morax, for Liyue’s sake, please go to the bottom of the Golden Pavilion and open up some more space, deposit a little more Mora in it every day, I want to reserve money for the future, the time limit is until you retire, this is a contract, you sign Don't sign it! 】

ah this...

For a moment, Zhong Li suddenly wanted to give Han Xiao such a shock.

......

Layer rock abyss.

After a long period of hard work, when the last batch of miners were finally escorted to the temporary camp by the Qianyan Army, Ke Qing and Ning Guang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At least the life safety of the miners is no problem at present.

Patting the dust off her body, Ke Qing asked Ning Guang for news about Ye Lan while arranging her clothes.

"Has Yelan come back?"

"not yet."

Ningguang firmly shook the tobacco rod in his hand, his tone slightly aggravated.

"It seems that the situation below is not optimistic."

Hearing that Ye Lan hadn't returned, Ke Qing couldn't help frowning.

Yelan's skills are amazing, and she has always been on the verge of danger, so she will quickly understand the general situation.

However, Yelan has not been seen returning since the accident, so one can imagine that the situation below the layered rock abyss must be extremely dangerous.

whoosh-

While the two were talking, there was a burst of sound.

Ke Qing and Ning Guang couldn't help turning their heads to look in the direction of the source of the sound, and then they saw a blue streamer flying from the entrance of the layered rock abyss.

Along with the dust rising from the ground, Ye Lan's figure also emerged.

It's just that compared to the usual Yelan, she looks a bit embarrassed at this moment.

Half of the skin on the back was burned off for unknown reasons, and the clothes on his body were also scratched.

"Are you okay?"

Seeing Ye Lan finally returned, Ning Guang couldn't help asking.

"I'm fine, but the next thing is going to be big."

Standing up, Yelan didn't care about tidying up her messy clothes, and went straight to Ning Guang and the other two about what happened to her down there.

Chapter 28 Chapter 24 Morax the Tool Man

"What's going on next?"

Hearing what Yelan said was very serious, Ningguang didn't panic, or she was already mentally prepared.

"The source of the black mud is unclear, but it should have something to do with the earth's veins."

Ye Lan first gave Ning Guang and Ke Qing a detailed description of the black mud she saw under the layered rock abyss, and then expressed her guess.

Down below, she walked almost every corner of the mining area, and all she saw was black mud spewing everywhere.

Ye Lan also tried to dig a place to have a look, but it turned out that the black mud seemed to appear out of thin air and did not exist underground at all.

This situation made her rule out the idea that personnel from the other six countries were causing trouble, and instead thought of the only explanation.

That is the leylines.

Ye Lan saw an introduction to the leylines when she was looking up ancient books. The book said that the leylines are the concept of [recording everything that happens above and below ground].

As for the detailed records, there are no more, or the author of the book did not dare to say it clearly, but only said that the ground veins were infected by the power of the abyss and had undergone unknown changes.

So after finding out the source of the black mud, Ye Lan instinctively suspected that it was the leylines, or the leylines polluted by the power of the abyss.

"and..."

After talking about her guess, Ye Lan's face became a little gloomy.

"I also found an unknown space below. The traces of certain spells on it are very similar to the spells passed down by my Boyang ancestors."

"This is another reason why I suspect that there is a problem with the earth veins."

"I remember you and I once said..."

Hearing Ye Lan's explanation, Ning Guang narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking of something:

"Your family's ancestors disappeared during the 500-year warcraft invasion."

"Yes, I suspect that the layered rock abyss is likely to be one of the battlefields of that year."

"Eight years ago."

Keqing carefully recalled the books she had read, and relied on her memory to find the information she wanted.

"I figured it out. I read some records in Ganyu's database. It was the layered rock abyss that the Warcraft invaded 500 years ago. The Qianyan army and warlocks defended against foreign enemies here."

"At that time, the battle situation seemed to be very unfavorable for Liyue. If it weren't for the help of a nameless Yasha, the defense line seemed to be almost breached."

......

Outside the Golden Pavilion, Zhong Li just returned from the underground.

There's no way, although he really wanted to give Han Xiao a chance to shake the world, but everyone else sent the contract to the door, and made it clear that it was for Li Yue.

You say the contract is signed or not.

Zhongli also understands that Han Xiao is currently the only person in Liyue who knows that he wants to retire, and the other party is also preparing for Liyue in the future by doing so.

After all, after he abdicates, he won't make Mora anymore.

At that time, once there is a problem with the currency reserve, it will be another trouble.

So even though Zhong Li really wanted to warn Han Xiao who dared to treat Morax as a tool man so boldly, he still reluctantly signed the contract in the end.

"Emperor."

Just when Zhongli lamented that Han Xiao was a brave boy, a breeze suddenly flashed behind him, and then a steady voice came out.

"elf?"

Zhong Li turned around and looked down at the person who came, it was the Great Sage Conquering Demon, Mandrill who was currently residing in Wangshu Inn.

"Dijun, Mandrill has something to ask Dijun."

"You want to ask about the Layer Rock Abyss, right?"

"Yes."

The Great Sage Conquering Demon nodded, and looked at Zhongli seriously.

"Dijun, the power that appeared under the layered rock abyss this time is obviously a remnant of the invasion war that year. Why didn't you let me go to deal with it, but let Qixing take over."

Although he respected the emperor very much, Mandrill knew very well that the problem of the rock giant abyss was very big.

In addition, the nameless Yaksha from Layer Rock Giant Abyss also made him very concerned.

So Mandrill didn't understand why when he wanted to solve the problem, Zhongli, the incarnation of the emperor, suddenly appeared in front of him and forbade him to go to the layered rock abyss.

"It's not the time yet."

Faced with the doubts of the Great Sage Conquering Demons, Zhong Li shook his head.

"Nowadays, the rock giant abyss is filled with black mud infected by the power of the abyss. It is not a good choice for you to go now."

If anyone wants to say who knows Liyue's history the most, there is no one other than Zhongli, the King of Yan.

He is very aware of the danger of the layered rock abyss at this time.

If Mandrill goes there rashly, he will inevitably be trapped in it.

But Zhongli also knew that Mandrill was very concerned about the 'Wuming Yasha', so he thought about it and still didn't get stuck:

"Well, when the black mud dissipates, if you still want to investigate the layered rock abyss, I won't stop you."

"Yes, Emperor!"

Seeing that Zhongli had said this, Mandrill could only agree.

The left and right are just waiting for the black mud to dissipate before you can go, and there is no problem waiting.

"Dijun, there is one more thing that you don't understand?"

"What do you think."

"Since the Layer Rock Abyss is so dangerous, why didn't you stop Seven Star from taking over this matter?"

"Because Qixing has to face it."

Turning his head to look in the direction of the layered rock abyss, Zhongli's tone was a bit vague in Mandrill's ears:

"Excessive protection can also harm people. Sometimes giving some cruelty may help them grow better."

......

Moon Sea Pavilion.

"How about it, are those merchants in Liyue doing anything now?"

While writing various instructions, Han Xiao asked Gan Yu without raising her head.

"Most of the merchants sold their inventory to the president of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce."

Taking out the materials just sent by the secretaries at the side, Gan Yu looked at it carefully before answering to Han Xiao.

"It seems that there are still some people who don't want to give up this opportunity?"

"Yes, according to our investigation, Maocai Gong still has a small group of businessmen who are still sending people to buy supplies in private."

"Tsk..."

Hearing this, Han Xiao handed the newly written order to the secretary at the side, couldn't help but clicked his tongue, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"Sure enough, there is no shortage of such courageous people."

"There's no way around it. There are many merchants in Liyue, so it's normal to have different ideas."

Gan Yu also doesn't like businessmen like Mr. Maocai who clearly want to 'sweep the wool', but they really haven't violated the current law of Liyue.

"Remember it first, and we'll talk about it later when a list of Liyue's top ten honest businessmen is released."

Although Han Xiao also has nothing to do with these people, but it does not prevent him from making a note of these people first.

Presumably Qixing doesn't like this kind of people very much, and when the crisis is over, let Qixing trouble them.

"Liyue's top ten honest businessmen?"

Gan Yu has no objection to Han Xiao's behavior of wanting to record those people in the notebook, but she is more interested in the "Liyue Top Ten Honest Businessmen List" that Han Xiao said.

Liyue Harbor.

"Have you heard, something big happened!"

"What happened?"

"I heard from some merchants who passed by Liyue that something happened on the layered rock abyss, and there are many Qianyan troops there."

"That's right, I also heard that Lord Ningguang led the Qianyan Army to seal off the layered rock abyss. Didn't you see that the Qunyu Pavilion above our heads has floated away!"

"An accident happened to the layered rock abyss, so what should I do? My family is still in the mine!"

"How about we go to the General Affairs Department and ask?"

"Yes, let's ask together!"

Although Qixing tried his best to block the news, the news finally leaked out.

For a while, people in Liyue were discussing in private, and everyone's face was a little more disturbed.

You must know that most people in Liyue rely on the layered rock abyss for food.

Now that there is a problem with the backer for eating, how can these people sit still.

As soon as the idea of ​​going to the General Affairs Department to inquire about the situation was proposed, it quickly won the approval of most people.
