People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

Rhode tilted his head in confusion: "You two still need my help?"

A Grass Dragon King and a Rock King.

How can I help if these two people can't solve the problem?

"My friend, please look."

Zhongli spread out his hands and handed Rhodes a grass-green crystal.

Inside the flawless emerald green transparent crystal is a hint of pure purple.

At first glance.

They will mistake this crystal for some new type of precious mineral.

However, when Rhodes got it, he suddenly realized that the purple color inside the crystal was familiar.

"This is."

"Fushe?"

Rhodes quickly figured out where this familiar feeling came from.

It was the floating house that I had just seen in the underground mining area.

If I remember correctly.

After bidding farewell to Xiao with his remaining consciousness, he disappeared on the spot.

How come it is the same as the Great Compassionate Tree King, retaining a trace of residual consciousness?

"You did it?"

Considering that the shell of this crystal was constructed from grass elemental power, Rhodes didn't need to guess who did it.

But he still didn't understand.

The remaining consciousness of Fushe was preserved by Apep. What does it have to do with him?

Next.

Zhongli then explained in detail the contents of the deal he had reached with Apep.

Apep's request was simple.

That was to meet with the Ruota Dragon King who was sealed in the South Heaven Gate by Zhongli. Of course, she made a promise that she would only chat with the Ruota Dragon King for a few words and would not do anything else excessive, otherwise Zhongli would not agree to this.

Zhongli’s request is even simpler.

He wanted Fushe to return to the human world like the Great Compassionate Tree King.

".?"

"Why are you looking for me for this? Isn't this a deal between you two?"

Rhodes was even more confused after hearing this.

Please.

The reason why the Great Compassion Tree King was able to come back to life is because he and the spiritual light that preserved the Great Compassion Tree King’s remaining consciousness both came from the Flower God. What does this Fushe have to do with him?

Moreover.

Regarding your deal with Apep, you didn't let Apep figure out how to solve it, but instead came to me for help? Isn't that a bit absurd?

"Hermanubis."

In response to Rhode's doubts, Apep said quietly, "Only by borrowing the power of Hermanubis and my power can this remnant consciousness be nurtured again."

"."

Rhodes twitched his lips.

Is this still possible?

However, although he realized that he could indeed help them, Rhodes was still reluctant.

Why can you, Apepu, order me around based on the deal with Zhongli? And she is always available. I am not Apepu's vassal, so why should I help her unconditionally?

"hehe--"

"See, I told you this human boy wouldn't agree."

Although Rhode didn't say anything, the change in his facial expression had betrayed his inner thoughts. Apep snorted coldly and said to him unhappily, "You are doing good things. I'm not asking you to work for nothing. Tell me now whether you agree or not. If you don't agree, I'll leave directly."

Zhongli also persuaded him: "Don't worry, my friend, the reward you get will definitely satisfy you."

that's it.

The god and the dragon talked back and forth, one played the good guy and the other played the bad guy, trying to persuade Rhodes to accept their request.

But no one said what the benefits for Rhodes were.

So Rhode, who was in a headache, had to ask himself: "Um. Can I ask what the benefit is for me?"

"You will naturally know when the time comes."

"Where does all this nonsense come from."

"If you want to do it, do it. If you don't want to do it, forget it."

Apep's voice became increasingly fierce, directly blocking Rhodes' intention to get clarification.

"well."

"Can I go back and think about it?"

Seeing that no one was willing to explain the situation clearly, Rhodes thought about it and decided not to agree on the spot.

"No."

"You must give me an answer now."

Compared to Zhongli's gentle attitude, Apep's style of doing things was much more overbearing, and he didn't give Rhodes any chance to shirk his responsibility.

What else is there to say?

Apep's attitude has been made clear.

You have to agree today whether you want to or not.

Rhode, who had never seen such a benefit given to others, had no choice but to respond with a sad face: "Okay, I agree."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 241 A Day with the Rock King

"Emperor, I still don't understand"

"Why do you have to get me involved in your affairs?"

After Apep left, Rhode sat opposite Zhongli with a bitter face: "Also, now that the Grass Dragon is gone, can I know what benefits I can get from it?"

"I don't know what benefits she's talking about."

In response to Rhodes' question, all Zhongli could do was spread his hands.

"You don't know either?"

Zhongli's words also confused Rhode: "Don't you know that you still need me to help her?"

"Because she never lies."

"Or."

"She never bothered to lie."

"If I say I will give you a benefit, then I will definitely give you a benefit."

After that, Zhongli added: "It's not the first day I've known her. I should know her personality better than you do."

'These two words should be removed.'

Rhode muttered inwardly, then sighed: "Then you have to tell me what you need me to do? When can you use me? And how should I preserve Fushe's remaining consciousness? You just throw it to me like this, what if I damage it or lose it?"

The 'negotiation' just now.

The logic in between is quite simple.

That is, Apep wants to meet the Dragon King Ruota, but this requires Zhongli's consent. Otherwise, if he breaks into the Dragon King Ruota's sealed place without permission, he will definitely be besieged by Zhongli and the Liyue immortals.

As strong as Apep.

Faced with one of the oldest gods in Teyvat and his subordinates, who are as powerful as demons, he is unwilling to make such a powerful enemy for no reason.

Therefore, she took advantage of the moment when Fushe's consciousness was about to dissipate and preserved a little of his remaining consciousness.

He had the remnant consciousness of the first Yaksha under Zhongli, and the fact that he had resurrected the Great Compassionate Tree King as bargaining chips.

She really impressed Zhongli.

Fushe's remaining consciousness alone was not enough for Zhongli to let her go to find the Dragon King Ruota.

After all, Zhongli himself can retrieve Fushe’s remaining soul.

But he could only retrieve an incomplete soul, and could not do as Apep promised to rebuild Fushe's body and let him return to the world of the living.

One to two to go.

The two reached an agreement on this.

But Apep alone could not save Fushe.

So after going around in circles, Rhodes was found by them.

However, as the most important link in the transaction between the two, Rhodes did not get any information. He is still confused and has no idea what he should do.

As for Zhongli's reply, it almost made Rhodes faint.

"You should have more experience in this matter than I do."

Then he changed the subject: "But I have some idea of ​​the benefits that Apep can give you."

This sentence really drew Rhodes' interest in another direction.

"What is it?"

"I don't know what it is exactly, but from what I know about her, it must be something that even she can't easily obtain."

"what?"

Rhodes blinked and said, "Is it something that is difficult for Apep to obtain?"

I originally thought it was at most a precious item like the source of the oasis.

Now listen to what Zhongli has to say.

The benefit that Apep promised was not something she had, nor was it something she could easily obtain.

This aroused Rhodes' interest even more.

What could be the thing that even Apep had difficulty obtaining?

This is exactly what Zhongli said.

Rhodes, who was originally full of resentment, suddenly felt that it was not a loss at all to work for Apep.

seemingly.

Still making a lot of money?

Zhongli on the other side was still citing his personal experience to analyze Apep for Rhode: "I didn't meet her very often. At that time, Liyue Harbor had not yet been built. She happened to come to Liyue to look for something."

"Compared to now, she was more arrogant back then, and her attitude towards humans was even worse."

“But she’s very honest.”

"Because I was worried that she would harm the people of Liyue, when she appeared in Liyue, I led the immortals to negotiate with her. In the end, we reached a three-point agreement, and I was her guide during that time."

“Even though she didn’t find what she was looking for within the final deadline, she still left Liyue on time.”

"From my experience as her guide."

"If the benefit she promised is something she can give out right away, or if it's very easy to give out, then she would either give it to you right now, or she would tell you the name of the thing as a reward, instead of just telling you that there is a benefit but not saying anything else like she is doing now."

After some recollection and analysis.
