The Sword Saint Lady from the original god

That was when Liyue was truly shaken.

"The Emperor has fallen... Why did this happen?" Xiangling came to Eluta and Ying with a sad look on her face.

"Xiangling, do you believe that Emperor Rock King has fallen?" Paimon flew over and asked Xiangling.

"Of course I don't believe it!" Xiang Ling said with a calm expression, but then she became a little disappointed. "But... everyone said that the emperor's body fell from the sky directly onto Yujing Terrace, although no one is sure whether it is really the emperor's body."

"But there was indeed a huge problem with this year's summoning ceremony. Even if the dragon corpse was not the body of the Emperor, it also shows one thing, that is, the Emperor did not show up in this year's summoning ceremony."

"If that dragon corpse is really the emperor's body, then the emperor may really have passed away, but if..."

Speaking of this, a trace of worry appeared on Xiangling's face.

"If... I mean if, if the Emperor is not dead, then at the summoning ceremony where the Emperor should appear, a dragon corpse belonging to the Emperor appears somewhere. Does that mean that the Emperor no longer wants to protect Liyue?"

"Have we... been abandoned by the Emperor..."

There was a look of loss on Xiangling's face.

When Eluta heard Xiangling's words, he looked at Xiangling in surprise.

The continent of Teyvat is a continent where gods roam the world, and each country has its own gods. Even though Venti has not appeared for hundreds or thousands of years, Mond still believes in Barbatos, the god of wind.

The Great Kindness Tree King of Mount Sumeru has fallen, and the Small Auspicious Grass King has been imprisoned for five hundred years. No one has been able to see his true body, but people still believe in him.

Inazuma's Thunder God certainly made the wrong decision and threw everything away, bringing chaos and war to Inazuma, but even though Inazuma was already severely rotten and corrupt, the people of Inazuma still believed that their gods could make them better.

This trust in God is blind and extremely strong.

Even countries where other gods have disappeared can trust their own gods so much.

Then how could the Geo Emperor, who appears every year to guide the people of Liyue into the future, not be trusted by the people of Liyue?

But the person whom he trusted so much disappeared at the critical moment. . .

this kind of thing.

The sudden incident made people think of a girl.

I thought, is it her who made the Emperor busy? Or maybe I and others should be thinking about how to live in the absence of the Emperor, just like her.

Or is it...

Is it because the Emperor has become tired of Liyue and doesn't want to protect it anymore?

Now. . .

No one dares to think about such a thing...

At this time, Eluta smiled, raised his hand and touched Xiangling's head.

"Although I am not from Liyue, I like Liyue very much, and I know a little about the Geo King."

"I don't think there is anyone in this world who can kill the Rock King."

"So, maybe the Emperor felt that it was a bit troublesome to appear once a year and guide you in the future, so he threw out a body and prepared to retire, and didn't want you to bother him anymore."

"After all, Liyue has seen 2,600 years, and the Emperor existed before the founding of the country and has protected Liyue for thousands of years. I think Liyue should give the old man a rest."

Eluta comforted Xiangling.

Xiangling couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard what Eluta said.

"Eluta, what you said always makes me feel very uncomfortable, as if we are children who are crying out for food under the protection of the Emperor..."

Xiangling couldn't help but say this, but when she said this, she lowered her head.

"Is that so? Until now, we are still hungry children..." A smile suddenly appeared on Xiangling's face.

Then Xiangling raised her head and looked at Eluta seriously.

"Eluta, you said that the Emperor should not be dead, right?"

Eluta raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Well, I do think that Emperor Rock King is not dead."

"Yes! I believe you!" Xiangling showed a bright smile on her face, then stood up, dragged Guoba and ran out of Wanmin Hall. "Eluta, you guys stay here now! I want to go find the chef! I have something to talk to her about!!"

Xiangling ran away in a hurry.

Watching Xiangling run away, Eluta smiled, turned to Ying and Paimon and said, "Let's go too. In this situation, it should be better to stay in the house. Because someone should come to find us."

Chapter 79: Not good but not bad either

When Eluta and Ying returned to the inn where they lived.

The inn was already full of people, and all of them were talking about the murder of Emperor Rock King during the immortal summoning ceremony.

After all, the death of the Emperor is not only a big event for Liyue, but also for people in other countries.

When other gods fall, it may only be their own country that is thrown into chaos.

With the fall of a god like Venti, it is estimated that no problems will arise.

However, as the God of Rock, the Rock King has a very important authority.

That is the only right to mint coins on the continent of Teyvat.

Mora is the flesh and blood of the Rock King, a currency that guarantees all the sweat, wisdom, and future of mankind.

Mora was created by Morax, the King of Rock.

The manufacturing location is in the Golden House of Liyue. The Golden House is strictly guarded day and night and is an extremely important place.

And if the Rock King falls...

Mora will also be unable to continue casting. If Mora is unable to continue casting, the entire economic system of the continent of Teyvat will collapse.

because.

Mora is used as a natural currency because it is a very precious metal in itself. As the flesh and blood of Morax, Mora is naturally an excellent alchemical item.

In addition to being used as a trading item, Mora can also be used as an alchemical material.

Whether it is alchemy, alchemy, or the forging of weapons and equipment, Mora is needed. As the flesh and blood of the Rock King, Mora is born with the power of the earth.

Even if the power of the earth is not great, it still carries something.

Therefore, as a catalyst, Mora has a very good effect. If Mora is added during forging alchemy, the success rate will continue to increase.

therefore.

Even if Mora does not use it for commercial activities, it will consume huge amounts of it every day due to alchemy.

In the world of Eluta, paper money is printed based on the country's credibility.

Printing too much money will cause inflation and prices will soar rapidly.

On the continent of Teyvat, even if the Golden House continues to produce Mora every day, prices will not inflate because Mora is consumed every day.

If the Golden House was not producing Mora all the time.

If the Golden House's Mora production speed cannot keep up with Mora consumption speed, it may cause deflation.

Deflation is more terrible than inflation.

therefore.

Although it is not yet certain whether the Rock King has fallen.

However, merchants from all countries need to make preparations in advance and must stockpile as much Mora as possible, so as to avoid a shortage of Mora produced in Liyue in the future, which would cause prices to plummet.

after all. . .

If the Rock King really fell, it would mean that for a period of time in the future, or even a long time, before a new Rock God appeared.

Liyue is unable to produce a new Mora.

If no new Mora is put on the market, then with the rate of Mora consumption in the continent of Teyvat, Mora will soon become a scarce product.

So advance preparation is a must...

At this time, the merchants in the inn could clearly tell where they were from by their expressions.

But only two places can be distinguished.

If someone looks anxious and ready to leave Liyue as soon as possible, he is not a merchant of Liyue.

The one with a worried look on his face was the merchant from Liyue.

Because Liyue is their country, they are naturally very worried about such a big thing happening in their country.

···

Eluta and Ying returned to their room.

And inside the room, just as Eluta had thought, someone was already waiting for him.

"Keqing, why are you here?" Although Eluta expected someone to come to see him, he did not expect that it would be Keqing.

Especially at this point in time.

The ancestor Fa Tu fell not long ago, and the news of the emperor's death must still be verified by the Seven Stars of Liyue. At the same time, rumors among the people also need to be controlled.

So now should be the busiest time for the Seven Stars of Liyue.

As travelers to another world, he and Ying had shown certain value and strength that could rival that of the immortal.

At this critical moment, the Liyue Seven Stars would definitely send someone to invite him. But it would be a bit too wasteful to let one of the Seven Stars invite him directly.

After all, the current situation in Liyue is very serious.

"Eluta, Ying, and Paimon, as one of the seven stars of Liyue, I would like to invite you to the Jade Pavilion to attend this meeting on the fall of the emperor."

Keqing's expression was very solemn, and the look she gave Eluta was full of complexity, which made Eluta feel not very good.

Her super intuition gave some hints.

If I go to the Jade Pavilion with Keqing, something is bound to happen, but it doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

But judging from my own thoughts, it seems to be a bad thing.

but. . .

"Have you confirmed that the Emperor has fallen?" Eluta asked Keqing.

Hearing Eluta's question, Keqing's heart trembled, and the expression on her face became very determined. "Yes, after verification by Miss Ganyu, the half-immortal of Yuehai Pavilion, it is indeed the remains of the emperor."

"So... the Emperor must have fallen."

Keqing said, lowering her head.

Looking at Keqing like this, Eluta felt a little headache, but she could comfort Xiangling's words.

But as for Keqing's words, Eluta didn't know how to comfort her.

There are some things that can be told to Xiangling, but not to Keqing, after all, their identities are completely different.

"Okay, I get it. Ying, Paimon, and I will go to the Jade Pavilion with you. Are all the Seven Stars of Liyue here at the Jade Pavilion?"

"Um... this..." Hearing Eluta's words, Keqing raised her head, with some embarrassment and helplessness on her face. "Because the incident happened suddenly, we only held a temporary meeting, and then the seven stars of Liyue all went to do their own things."

"After all, the most urgent task is to prevent the news of the Emperor's death from bringing negative impact to Liyue. Therefore, four of the Seven Stars have already left Liyue Harbor and headed to various places in Liyue to manage. At the very least, the news of the Emperor's death will not make people from other countries have any ideas about us."

"Now the only ones left in Liyue are Ningguang, me, and Uncle Tian."

"After all, Ningguang and I are pretty strong, and Uncle Tian is very experienced and mature. Together with Miss Ganyu, we can defend the important Liyue Harbor."

Keqing took a deep breath, then grabbed Eluta's hand and spoke seriously.

"Eluta, please, if you don't want to, please don't be annoyed with Liyue..."

Upon hearing this, Eluta tilted his head.

Come to think of it, this unwillingness is what my super intuition tells me. It is not a good thing, but at the same time it is not a bad thing either.

So, what exactly is this happening?

What do the Seven Stars of Liyue want me to do now?

In this regard.

Eluta found it interesting.

Chapter 80: Eluta chooses based on her preferences

"Eluta, you have been in Liyue these days. What do you know about Liyue?"

On the way to the Jade Pavilion, Keqing asked Eluta.
