I stacked Q in the desert, and was regarded as the red king by the people

"Well, it has something to do with what happened to us this time."

"What's the matter?"

"This matter... at a small scale, it may be related to ourselves and the people of Sumeru. If it is large, it may be related to the safety of the entire Tivat continent."

"Oh?"

Zhong Li was a little moved.

Yaxiu's face was full of sadness, and he touched Naxida's head distressedly: "Mr. Zhongli, don't think that this little girl is fine now, she is actually pretending. Naxida's current situation is very dangerous, and there will be danger at any time." may die."

Zhong Li's eyelids twitched, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

"Does Mr. Zhongli know the real reason for the disaster that broke out 500 years ago?"

Yaxiu felt that when these words were spoken, Zhong Li's calm demeanor changed slightly.

Just like an old lake, Gu Bo was not surprised.

Now there are waves, even some sharp edges.

In the room, it suddenly became quiet.

"Uncle Morakes, we all know about it." Nasida pursed her lips and said seriously, "It was Lord Tree King who told us."

"The Great Mercy Tree King?"

There was a hint of bewilderment in Zhongli's eyes.

But it soon became a nostalgia.

Sigh softly instead.

"Is she still there?"

In fact, after the Demon God War, the Seven Gods often got together, and their relationship was quite good.

And that tree king, in my impression, is as gentle as water, nourishing everything and bringing vitality to everything.

It's just that time flies, disaster broke out 500 years ago, the tree king fell, and the relationship between the seven gods is no longer what it used to be.

With a sigh, the Tao has exhausted the vicissitudes of the world.

Perhaps it was the emotion of missing his old friend that touched him, and Zhongli's voice became especially gentle.

"500 years ago...the Calamity broke out in Kerriya, and the seven gods descended on that human kingdom, bringing the divine punishment from the high heavens. I can't say much about the process, but I know in my heart that the truth of the war is now deliberately Conceal it, although the Great Mercy Tree King has not come to Carriya, he has more important things to do."

Having said that, Zhong Li stopped going any further.

Because everyone knows it, everyone knows it, the water is too deep, so let's stop.

Yaxiu nodded: "The Great Merciful Tree King died in that incident, but the remaining consciousness is in the World Tree, but she was polluted by taboos, and that power is still in the World Tree, which has affected the Sumeru environment. The 'dead zone' was born."

"The dead zone is an area full of death, which represents the opposite of life. Mr. Zhongli, with your knowledge, you should be clear about the impact once the dead zone expands. At that time, let alone Xumi, it will be Liyue and Other countries will also be affected."

When the feelings are in place, let's point out the key points.

Zhong Li is not an unreasonable person, so Ash believes he can understand.

If it were a shadow, maybe he would reply domineeringly to the previous sentence - "Dead zone? How many divisions does it have?"

Then, swish, swish, sword light like me, I cut off all the enemies who invaded Dao's wife.

Nashida looked at Yaxiu and blinked her eyes. Yaxiu was seriously serious, don't look, little brat, it will affect my performance.

"world Tree."

Zhongli's face was as calm as usual, and he didn't know what he was thinking, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Nashida and I worked so hard to reach the World Tree, and found a solution after communicating with the King of the Great Mercy Tree. To completely eliminate that taboo, we need enough strength, so we left Sumeru and decided to find a solution. Go all over the continent and seek help from the friends of King Dacishu back then."

"To be honest, Naxida also became infected with taboos during the process of rescuing King Dacishu... Sigh, this child has a hard life. He was imprisoned for 500 years by those bullshit sages of the Holy Order Academy, and finally escaped , got into the taboo again. Mr. Zhongli, why do you think she is so bitter?"

"Hmm..." Zhongli looked at Naxida.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Nashida coughed suddenly.

There was no blood on the delicate little face, it was pale.

Yaxiu froze for a moment, thinking that something had happened, but seeing Nasida stretch out her small hand to hold his hand, it seemed that she was seeking comfort, but in fact her little finger was scratching in the palm of Yaxiu's hand.

Well, is this still happening?

Yaxiu didn't expect this little guy to have such a talent.

However, it is true to be contaminated with forbidden knowledge, as long as Naxida is not suppressed by the heart of God, then this kind of behavior is normal.

Yaxiu quickly took out the staff of red sand, urged the divine power to release a golden light covering Naxida's body, and helped her suppress the pain.

"This is..."

"The staff of red sand. At the beginning, the Red King also encountered that forbidden power in the desert. Later, he created this staff and eliminated the taboo together with King Dacishu."

"Actually, the way we came up with this time is to use it to eliminate taboos in the World Tree, but it requires a powerful force, at least at the level of the Seven Gods, or the heart of God."

Yaxiu took advantage of the situation to clarify the key points.

But he was actually quite nervous.

After all, he is only familiar with the three gods of wind, rock and thunder, and the god of rock is the most stable. As long as he can succeed on his side, he will have confidence in the future.

But Yaxiu remembers a sentence that King Dacishu said before - "The seven gods have their own missions and do not interfere with each other. Protecting the World Tree is the mission entrusted to me by heaven. Other gods, without the consent of heaven, cannot intervene without authorization."

The order of heaven and law is supreme in this world, and if the Seven Gods rule, it is just the endorsement of Sky Island on Tivat.

Rules, are dead.

How strong this bottom line is, Yaxiu doesn't know.

The good news is that Sky Island has fallen into silence, and it may not be manageable.

But the good news is not all good.

Zhong Li is going to retire.

So what are the considerations here?

Zhong Li was tired and wanted to retire, so naturally he didn't want to get involved in too many things.He can choose to ignore it, and after Sky Island recovers, the matter of taboo knowledge will definitely be resolved.

"Uncle Morax, drink some water."

Naxida picked up the water glass that Zhongli put on the table again.

Zhongli was silent for a moment, then said: "You should call me Zhongli, I'm a human being, I'm used to it."

"Then..." Naxida thought for a while, "Uncle Zhongli?"

Zhongli: "..."

Forget it, it's better than Moraxel.

He took the glass and put it aside.

After taking Naxida, he picked it up again, and handed it over respectfully with both hands.

This posture has the meaning that if you don't give an explanation, I will keep it.

Zhong Li is no different, he is not afraid to reason with others, but not everyone in this world is reasonable.

Besides, this little guy in front of him is not even a fraction of his age, so he really can't get rid of this old face. Morax also wants to save face.

Of course, it is mainly related to the relationship between the Great Cishu King. The tree king also sacrificed for Tivat back then.

Thinking like this, I suddenly heard Yaxiu sigh: "Sigh~ Speaking of it, Naxida is actually the half daughter of the King of the Great Mercy Tree. Back then, the King of the Great Mercy Tree knew that he could not completely solve the taboo, so he broke off the branches on the World Tree , pin your hopes on Nasida."

"Uncle Zhongli...cough, sir, you also know that the Dacishu King is the incarnation of the World Tree, so she and Naxida are hard-fated mothers and daughters."

Naxida raised her head, her small face was sad: "Brother Little Red King."

The corner of Ash's mouth twitched.

You fucking brother is brother, why do you have to add the word 'small'?

"You guys stay in the Hall of Rebirth first, and let me think about it for a few days." Zhong Li said softly, "I have a duty to do with the Great Mercy Tree King and the World Tree, but your request is just a bit inconvenient for me personally. "

Zhong Li did not refuse.

But he didn't agree.

Yaxiu knew his plan, so he was not in a hurry.

After all, for more than 6000 years, to protect the peace of Liyue for 700 years, to fight countless battles, big and small, and to work hard until now, it is like an old worker who is about to retire, and he naturally does not have the vigor and ambition in his heart when he was young.

Furthermore, if this matter goes wrong, Li Yue will be involved.

As a rock god, he violated the rules of heaven, even if he had good intentions, but he couldn't tell.

After all, good intentions do not necessarily conform to the rules, but good intentions are punished. This is what Ash has seen a lot.

"Understood." He chuckled softly, "This matter is not easy to handle, so don't rush it. Mr. Zhongli, please think about it carefully. We also have a look at Xian Dianyi."

"Please Xiandianyi..."

Zhong Li's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say anything, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Goodbye, Uncle Zhongli." Naxida bowed again.

Very well-behaved.

Zhong Li paused, then opened the door and walked out.

Naxida raised her head and cast her eyes to make sure that Zhong Li had left before she straightened up and patted her chest.

"Well, Nasida, full marks." Little Lolita said.

Yaxiu was speechless: "You are really good at acting."

Nashida laughed and said, "In Sumeru, I used to observe the words and deeds of the people through the void, so I knew when to say something. This is the rule of humans. Now Senior Morax is incarnate as a human, living a human life, and naturally eating This set."

After speaking, she was a little worried.

"But the Seven Gods chose to pretend to be humans. Could it be that Senior Morax has already thought of abdicating? That's why he was hesitant just now."

"Okay, okay." Yaxiu patted her on the head, "This matter is important, of course he needs time to think about it. Don't think so much, let's go, I'll take you shopping."

"Well."

Naxida covered her head, "Don't start the head, it won't grow tall."

"You, a god of wisdom, actually believe such words?"

"Have you brought any money?" Nasida asked suddenly.

"Uh."

...

...

Yaxiu did not bring any money.

Although Candice prepared a lot for him when he came out, he stuffed them all back to Candice to build Aru Village.

Now is a critical time, there is a shortage of money everywhere, and besides, he is away alone, and the whole family is not hungry when he is alone, and even those with hands and feet don't need money.

However, Yaxiu brought out some desert specialties. This time Liyue actually has another purpose, which is to open up trade channels between Liyue and the desert.

Or supply chain.

In the past, the trade between Xumi and Liyue was basically from Liyue Port to Ormos Port. After all, large-scale cargo could not go on mountain roads.

As for the merchants in Port of Omos, their trading scope basically stayed in the rainforest.

Now that the desert controls the Port of Ormos, which leads directly to the Kawan Station, the opportunity has come.

After all, tourism and specialty products are only part of it, and it is difficult to lead the folks to make a fortune.

Ah Xiu thought that the easiest way to do business is to sell things from one place to another to earn the difference.

Where there is demand, there is trade.

Liyue gathers merchants from all over the world. There are countless kinds of goods, and the pressure of competition is high.

Among these, there are always many people in Xumi need.

On Xumi's side, Liyue also needs a lot, especially medicinal herbs.
