The Sword Saint Lady from the original god

"I understand. Let me think about the contents of the contract. Before the contract is signed, Ms. Eluta, you can act as you wish."

"I will inform you of my contract after this matter is over."

A rare smile appeared on Zhongli's face.

"Now, let's listen to the opera performed by Miss Yunjin, the most famous character in Liyue."

Zhongli said this, picked up the teacup and sipped the tea gently.

A faint smile seemed to appear on his face, which had always had a very calm expression, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Eluta looked at Zhongli and said softly, "Do as I wish? If so, I won't care about anything. Maybe I will kill the Whirlpool Demon God later."

"It doesn't matter. Rather, this couldn't be better."

The corners of Zhongli's mouth curled up slightly, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

But Eluta's sixth sense warned her at this moment.

"It seems like something has been planned..."

Shaking his head, Eluta quickly put away the Holy Grail.

No matter what, Zhongli has already obtained the Holy Grail. Although no one knows what Zhongli is planning, as the Rock King, he is a benevolent demon god.

I think even if someone plotted against me, it wouldn't be a dangerous thing.

Now, let’s listen to Yun Jin sing.

Eluta set his sights on the stage where Yunjin was about to appear.

······

After watching the show, under the leadership of Zhongli, Eluta and Ying had a good stroll around Liyue Feiyunpo.

Since Keqing paid for it, Eluta and Ying also bought a lot of things, but most of them were flowers and plants.

The colorful flowers of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and the glazed lilies of Yujingtai.

Both Eluta and Ying bought a lot.

It can be said that today is indeed quite good.

Finally, under the leadership of Zhongli, several people went to Xinyuexuan for an expensive dinner.

As the two largest and most expensive restaurants in Liyue, the food at Xinyuexuan is indeed very delicious and more refined than that at Wanmintang.

but. . .

As expected, Eluta and Ying still like the food at Wanmintang.

As for Paimon, as long as it can fill his stomach, there is no problem with the food, no matter where it comes from.

After eating.

When we left Xinyuexuan, it was already late.

Zhongli sent Eluta and Ying to the inn where they were staying.

Asked Eluta.

"The contract signed with Yuhengxing has been completed. Now I would like to ask the three of you what you think of Liyue."

Eluta and Ying looked at each other, and then Eluta said with a smile.

“It’s a great country, I love it here.”

"Yeah..." Ying nodded.

"The food is delicious!" Paimon raised his hand and shouted.

"Really?" Zhongli smiled again. "If that's the case, then that couldn't be better."

Chapter 76: I won’t go to the Immortal Invitation Ceremony

The next day.

Today is the day of the Immortal Summoning Ceremony. The attention of everyone in Liyue is now focused on the Immortal Summoning Ceremony. Tourists and locals alike have all come to Yujing Terrace.

Every year, the Emperor appears and provides guidance for Liyue’s development plan for the next year.

Businessmen who come here can see new investment plans from the development plan.

Ordinary people are present, and after the businessmen decide on their investments for the coming year, they can go directly to look for work for the coming year.

People who don’t have a stable job or want to make a lot of money can find a good job on the spot.

At this time, merchants would not be stingy with their money, nor would they consider the quality of the people they recruited. Basically, as long as they were manpower, they would be hired on the spot.

After all, if it is an investment that requires manpower, the sooner you get the manpower together, the sooner you can get ahead of others by several steps.

time is money.

Of course, there are people who want to invest and make money, and there are also people who don’t care that much.

For example, Xiangling and Master Mao are like this.

"Xiangling and Master Mao, are you really not going to watch the immortal summoning ceremony?" Eluta was sitting at the dining table with a bowl of milk in his hand, while Ying was holding a bowl of soy milk in his hand.

Although Xiangling also wanted to give Eluta soy milk.

But to be honest, Eluta prefers drinking milk to soy milk. The taste of soy milk always feels weird.

(I just think soy milk tastes weird and I can’t drink it.)

But as for fried dough sticks, Eluta really likes them.

The same goes for tofu pudding.

By the way, the dispute over the sweet and salty taste of tofu pudding does not bother Eluta at all, because Eluta is an all-or-nothing!

(By the way, the author is a jack of all trades. My father is from Northeast China and my mother is from Guangxi, so I have been eating two flavors of tofu pudding since I was a child.)

I just don’t like drinking soy milk.

As for Ying, she was very curious about the soy milk, and she enjoyed the soy milk and fried dough sticks. As for Paimeng, he enjoyed both the fried dough sticks and the soy milk.

"Emperor Geo is a god loved by all the people of Liyue, so Xiangling is really not going?" Paimon was curious about why Xiangling and Master Mao had been staying in the Hall of All People and had no intention of going to Yujing Terrace.

At this time, Xiangling brought over three baskets of buns and came to Eluta and Ying.

After placing the buns on the table, Xiangling began to prepare the dipping sauce.

The sour vinegar with a special aroma was poured into the dish, and the chili oil squeezed from the spicy Jueyun peppers was also put into the vinegar dish.

Xiangling answered while stirring.

"The Emperor can be seen every year. When I was young, I often watched the ceremony of summoning the immortals. But if you can see it so often, it is no longer so novel."

"After I was about ten years old, I rarely went to Yujingtai to watch the immortal summoning ceremony."

"Although merchants can find the way to make money from the Emperor's guidance, my father and I don't understand what the Emperor says. The most we can do is to admire the Emperor."

"But I can see the Emperor's appearance every year, so it doesn't matter whether I go or not."

"Besides, there are too many people over there. Apart from the altar, there is not even a single empty space anywhere else. Going there is simply torture."

"So, it's better to stay in the store. Besides, everyone needs to eat breakfast when they go to Yujingtai, and we can make some money."

Ah woo~~

Xiangling took a bite of the bun and smiled with satisfaction. Guoba also sat on the stool, beside Xiangling, eating the bun happily.

Eluta was eating fried dough sticks with chopsticks.

"That's true. Although the Emperor is very noble, he is a distant being to the people. Even if the Emperor didn't exist, it wouldn't have much of an impact on the people of Liyue."

Xiangling thought for a moment and said, "That's not the way to say it. After all, the Emperor has protected Liyue for so many years. We can live in a stable environment because of the Emperor's protection. So if possible, I still hope that the Emperor will continue to protect us."

"After all, in Liyue, the Emperor is the confidence of everyone. Because we have the protection of the Emperor, no matter where we are outside, we will be more confident."

After all, all seven countries in the continent of Teyvat have gods.

Every god protects his own country. Even a god like Venti who is invisible is believed by the people of Mondstadt to be protecting him all the time.

The existence of gods is of great significance to the seven nations of Teyvat.

If there is a country without gods...

What problems might arise?

Faith and religion, although not as influential as medieval Christianity in this world of Eluta, exist in this world.

However, in this world, gods are basically equivalent to the ruler of a country.

If the ruler of a country is gone, there will inevitably be chaos.

That is to say, in Liyue, the Emperor appears once a year, and on weekdays, the Seven Stars of Liyue manage the country. Even if the Emperor is not there, under normal circumstances, no problems will arise.

But even with the Seven Stars of Liyue and the existence of immortals, if the Emperor disappears, it will have a huge impact on Liyue.

Just imagine.

What would happen if the Thunder God died on Inazuma's side?

I think the whole Inazuma family will be in chaos.

Even in Xumi, which had imprisoned the Little Auspicious Grass King for five hundred years, there were still a large number of people who worshipped the Little Auspicious Grass King.

For a country, even if God has no other abilities, as long as He exists, He is of great significance.

In the game, the death of the Emperor seemed to be nothing unexpected.

But that was because Liyue directly demonstrated that even without the Geo King, it still had the power to suppress the Demon God.

All the countries and gods in Teyvat actually know that the Emperor is not dead, he has simply retired.

In addition, it is a peaceful time now and there are not so many demons.

Therefore, Liyue is fine.

Otherwise... there will inevitably be a dispute in Liyue, whether it is a dispute started by outsiders or a dispute within Liyue...

Actually.

Even though the Fatui had already obtained the Emperor's Heart of God, they still had some thoughts about destroying Liyue.

They intervened in the abdication of the Seven Stars.

In other words, the people on Liyue's side are very capable. If it were Inazuma's people, I'm afraid the entire country would really be divided.

because..

When the Emperor existed, although the country was under the management of the Seven Stars, the ultimate holder of national authority was still in the hands of the Emperor.

After the Emperor pretended to be dead, power automatically fell into the hands of the Seven Stars of Liyue.

If something goes wrong with a few of the Seven Stars of Liyue at this time, then disputes will naturally arise in Liyue.

Maybe, this situation will not happen to the current Seven Stars.

But the same may not be true for the next Seven Stars.

You know, among the seven stars of Liyue, Keqing is the youngest, and the older ones are already at retirement age. The replacement of the seven stars is the best time for the Fatui to intervene.

The reason why he intervened in the Seven Stars was because the Emperor had died and would not appear again.

Therefore, if one could control one of the seven stars, it would be equivalent to controlling one-seventh of Liyue's authority, especially when the immortals were not in charge.

so. .

Even if gods do nothing, their existence is a very important thing.

"Sure enough... the Emperor's next plan actually has a huge impact..."

Eluta couldn't help but sigh.

"Hmm?" Hearing Eluta's voice, Xiangling tilted her head and looked at Eluta in confusion. "Speaking of which, Eluta, Ying, and Paimon, the main purpose of your coming to Liyue is to participate in the immortal summoning ceremony, right?"

"Why are you still here now? Aren't you planning to go to Yujing Terrace? Although there is still some time before the ceremony begins, if you are late, there may be no place left. Although there may be no place left now."

Hearing this, Eluta smiled and said, "I won't go to the Immortal Summoning Ceremony. It will be very troublesome if I go."

Chapter 77: Eluta will never lose in playing Mahjong

Eluta was not planning to go to the scene to watch the ceremony of summoning the immortals.

Although he and Ying were already well-known among the Seven Stars, the scene of the Emperor's death on the spot would inevitably cause chaos in the surroundings.
