People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

Rhodes raised his eyebrows: "Do you have any other ideas?"

"I am serious."

Seeing that Rhode didn't believe her, Tartaglia continued, "This Grass Dragon has a similar personality to my master. I've argued with my master before, but I got beaten up and got nothing in return. Later, I found out that my master is soft-hearted and doesn't take any hard actions. As long as I complete the tasks she assigns, and if I don't make unreasonable requests and try to please her a little, she will agree."

He just finished speaking.

Apep's voice floated from a distance: "That makes sense, human boy, how are you going to please me? If you can make me feel better, maybe I will really agree to your little request."

"."

Rhodes glanced at Tartaglia who looked embarrassed.

Just know.

With Apep's strength, no matter how hard Tartaglia tried to lower her voice, she would never be able to hide it from her ears.

Compared to Tartaglia who was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig her teeth into the ground.

Apep's words actually made Rhodes feel relieved.

Rhodes was not afraid that Apep would hear that someone was plotting against her behind her back, but he was afraid that Apep would not change her tune, and then he would be helpless.

So how can we please Apep as Tartaglia said?

Rhode thought for a moment, licked his lips, and then put on a desperate look and walked in front of Apep. He grabbed Zhongli's Heart of God and grinned, "Lord Grass Dragon, you don't want the news of your full health to be known to the law of nature, right?"

Chapter 239: The Historic Meeting between the Rock King and the Grass Dragon King

If such threatening words to Apep came from someone else.

Even though the person standing before Apep was a god.

She would definitely crush that person to death.

But when these words came out of Rod's mouth, they successfully made Apep laugh.

"Hahaha--"

"Interesting, interesting."

"You're a joke teller, much better than any other human I've ever met."

Apep laughed so hard that he fell backward, as if what Rod had just told was some huge joke.

Such movement also attracted the attention of Ye Lan and Xiao.

Originally, they were immersed in the letters left by their ancestors and brothers.

As a result, I suddenly heard such a crazy laugh coming out of this empty and silent cave, and I couldn't help but look over in confusion.

Then they saw the Heart of the Rock God in Rhodes' hand.

"——!?"

Ye Lan doesn’t know the Heart of God, but Xiao does.

As one of the immortals who had participated in the War between Demons and Gods and had the closest relationship with Zhongli, he not only saw the Heart of God, but also knew what the Heart of God meant to Zhongli.

"How did that thing end up in his hands?"

Xiao's expression changed again and again.

When he first came to the Layered Abyss with Zhongli's Piercing Rainbow Spear to keep the appointment, even with Zhongli's instructions to him, he still only regarded Rhodes as a mortal who was valued by Zhongli.

Rhodes was not the first mortal to gain the emperor's favor in this way.

Xiao, who was used to it, had never given Rhodes any special treatment. He always believed that Zhongli's care for Rhodes was out of the God of Grass, and that he only had to complete the tasks assigned by Zhongli.

However, after seeing the appearance of the Heart of God, he had to adjust his opinion of Rhodes.

What is the Heart of God?

This is the symbol of Zhongli as the Rock God of Liyue, representing the dignity and authority of the Rock King.

As a result, he handed such an important thing to a mortal who had nothing to do with Liyue.

So a very serious question inevitably popped into Xiao's mind: "Why does the Emperor value a mortal so much?"

the other side.

Rhodes naturally had no idea what Xiao was thinking about right now.

Honestly.

He did guess that Apep would not be afraid of the awakened justice, and what he was going to say later was that he wanted to use this Heart of God in exchange for Apep's help.

That's it.

Rhodes had no intention of threatening Apep to surrender at the beginning. His plan was to directly give the Heart of God to Apep and throw this hot potato away, letting the Queen of Winter figure out how to complete the transaction with the Dragon of Grass.

Use the precious Heart of God to exchange for a chance to take action when you are not in irresistible danger.

This seems a bit of a loss.

However, Zhongli gave him the right to dispose of the Heart of God. Besides, he couldn't use it, and it would be troublesome to keep it in his hand. He thought it was a good deal to use it to exchange for Apep to take action.

But he never expected that Apep would be so happy before he even said the follow-up words.

What he didn't expect was even more.

When Apep finally stopped laughing, she readily agreed to help collect the corpses, because Rhode's jokes were funny enough to please her.

After that, she didn't give Rhode any chance to speak, and immediately started to do it without any hesitation.

"."

Looking at Apep who could take away a large number of corpses with just a wave of his hand, Rhodes, who was holding the Heart of God, didn't know what expression to make for a moment.

perhaps.

Would it be better to describe my mood at this moment as "happiness comes too suddenly"?

"Did the Emperor give you this thing?"

Xiao's doubts arrived as expected.

"Ah."

Rhodes smiled and said, "It can be considered a deal between him and me."

Ye Lan and Tartaglia also came over.

After listening to Rhodes' explanation, Ye Lan, who didn't know the Heart of God, was fine, but Tartaglia, who also knew the Heart of God, had a strange look in his eyes.

He and the lady came to Liyue this time.

The main purpose is not for this scientific expedition or to recruit Rhodes.

They came for the Heart of God.

It was just that when he met the God of Rock before, the God of Rock said that the Heart of God had already been promised to someone else, and if he wanted it back, he had to find that person.

But he didn't say who he gave the Heart of God to.

After confirming that the person who made a contract with Zhongli was not his own Ice Queen.

The lady and Tartaglia then set about screening the many people who might hold the Heart of God.

They guessed that it was the God of Wind who also appeared in Liyue, thought that it might be the one who gave Liyue the Seven Stars, and also suspected that it might be one of the many immortals in Liyue. The only thing they didn't guess was Rhodes, the stranger who came here for an unknown reason.

"Have you made a contract with the Rock God?"

Tartaglia was a straightforward person and asked the question straight to the point.

"Correction, it wasn't me. I made the contract with him on behalf of the Grass God."

The Grass God again?

Tartaglia frowned.

If I remember correctly.

The previous Heart of the God of Wind was also taken away by Rhodes on behalf of the God of Grass and the God of Wind in a deal.

Could it be that the Grass God is also collecting God's Hearts! ?

Think of this.

The look in Tartaglia's eyes when he looked at Rhodes became less friendly.

If the Grass God is also collecting the Heart of God, then in other words, there will be an inevitable conflict between her and the Ice Queen!

Tartaglia can be on good terms with Rhodes and is willing to treat Rhodes as a friend.

Even though Rhode showed his distrust of him so obviously, he could completely ignore it and kept calling him friend all day long.

But all of this was based on the premise that Rhodes would not conflict with him.

But now it has been confirmed that the Grass God is also collecting the Heart of God.

This conflict between gods.

It will inevitably evolve into a conflict of positions between the two people.

simply put.

It is estimated that they can no longer be friends, and it may not take long before they become enemies.

"Correction."

"Nashida doesn't have the hobby of collecting God's Heart. This thing was given to me by the Rock King."

Rhodes was no fool and could see the change in Tartaglia's mood at a glance, so he explained it briefly.

"Did Emperor Yanwang give it to you on his own initiative?"

Tartaglia was startled.

Xiao was also startled.

Only Ye Lan, who didn't understand why, frowned.

But she didn't ask anything.

Since it involves matters between gods, she doesn't want to involve herself.

To avoid suspicion.

She even walked to a place where she couldn't hear their voices, making her attitude clear.

"I helped Emperor Yan Wang solve a very difficult problem."

"So he gave this to me as a reward."

After thinking for a moment, Rhode told the truth and added, "According to the contract, I can dispose of this thing freely now. Do you understand?"

talking.

Rhodes blinked at Tartaglia.

Such a big truth made Tartaglia feel confused.

Rhodes didn't say anything cryptic.

Tartaglia really understood what he meant.

but

Can a mortal really dispose of the heart of God at will?

Just as Tartaglia was hesitating about how to respond, Rhode said to Xiao, who seemed to have something to say, "This is the contract between me and the Emperor. You don't think I have the guts to joke about the contract made by the God of Contract, do you?"

Just this sentence.

Xiao, who originally had some doubts, was left speechless.

Since it was a contract drawn up by the Emperor himself, no matter how absurd Rhodes' words and actions were now, he could no longer raise any objections.

The three of them were silent for a while.

After thinking for a long time, Tartaglia finally came to his senses and said with a puzzled look, "Name a price."

Rhodes has made it clear.
