People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

The Fatui executives are all stubborn, and unless the benefits are extremely tempting, they will not easily sell out their colleagues' plans so thoroughly.

"That's the information we have so far."

"The Solstice people won't be able to infiltrate to this extent again for at least another thirty to fifty years."

"If this lady had not received sufficient benefits, she would never have risked being held accountable by her three colleagues and Her Majesty the Queen to do this."

What Ye Lan said makes sense.

Ningguang thought about this for a while, then raised her eyebrows and asked, "Could it be related to that Xumi envoy?"

"Xumeru Envoy?"

"You mean Rod?"

Ye Lan stopped what he was doing and said seriously, "It's hard to say."

Then she sat up straight and began to summarize the recent disputes between Rhodes and the lady: "On the first day that the lady arrived in Liyue, she joined the Xumi expedition team as Senior Sister Rhodes. They knew each other a long time ago, but they did not meet in Liyue."

"After arriving at the underground mining area, Rhode and the executive officer named Gongzi separated from the team and moved forward on their own. The two had no further contact during this period."

"After returning to the ground."

"Rhodes once toured the city with the lady and the Great Saint, but it was only for one day. The next day, when they met again, the lady gave us this information."

"If there is any deal between the two of them, I can't be sure."

At this point, Ye Lan frowned and said, "This Rhodes is completely impossible to monitor. We don't have much information about him, so it's hard to say whether he helped us do this. The same goes for the lady. There is not much information about her, so it's impossible to tell whether this matter has anything to do with Rhodes."

"if"

"If that's the case."

"Then why would he help us?"

Ningguang's tone seemed to indicate that this might be related to Rhode. She also reminded Ye Lan, "Don't forget, the Emperor has personally met with him twice. This is a very rare thing under normal circumstances. Do you think the Emperor may have used him to do this?"

That said.

Ye Lan suddenly understood, and immediately guessed: "Could it be that all these things were arranged by the Emperor? Why did the Emperor trust Rhodes so much?"

Instead of leaving family affairs to one's own family, one asks an outsider to help.

This made Ye Lan and Ning Guang start to speculate whether there was any special relationship between Rhodes and Rock King.

If so.

Then they would have to change their evaluation and attitude towards Rhode.

Even if it's not.

Just based on this incident, Liyue owed Rhodes a favor. No matter what, he still had to be given the proper preferential treatment.

And just when the two of them were thinking about this.

Rhodes, Xiao, Apep and Zhongli were sitting in a beautiful fairyland, looking at a golden dragon horn together.

The dragon king crown that was born with King Rinpoche.

With the help of this item, you can draw the four elemental forces of water, fire, ice and thunder from the earth veins for your own use.

This.

This was the benefit that Apep promised to give to Rhodes.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 249 New Contract

In Liyue's records.

The size of the Ruta Dragon King is comparable to that of a mountain, and a single turn of the earth dragon can shake the heaven and earth.

With such a huge size, it is in no way inferior to the likes of Durin who died in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.

When Zhongli suppressed him in the past.

Wherever the god and the dragon passed, mountains and rivers were crushed into valleys, and the traces of the fight between the two are still clearly visible after thousands of years.

It stands to reason.

The crystal horns on the head of the Dragon King Rudra are at least as high as several stories.

But now, the dragon horn in front of Rhodes was measured and found to be only slightly longer than his arm.

If the person who gave him this thing was not the Grass Dragon King Apep.

Rhodes really couldn't believe that they broke this thing off the head of the Dragon King Ruotu.

This dragon horn was shaped like a natural golden crystal and was heavy in the hand. Even with Rhodes' strength, he had to use all his strength to hold it in his hand.

Just as Apep and Zhongli said.

Strictly speaking, the dragon horns of King Rudra cannot be considered dragon horns. It is more appropriate to call them crowns.

Despite being the Dragon King of the Rock Element.

But in addition to the powerful and heavy rock elements flowing in this crown, there is also the power of water, fire, ice and thunder.

Count it up.

This crown of the Dragon King alone can give a person the ability to control the five elemental forces.

The gift that was considered a good thing by Apep, the Grass Dragon King who had lived for ten thousand years, was indeed not an ordinary vulgar thing.

"A little too expensive."

The so-called no reward for no merit.

Although Rhodes did get involved in the transaction between Apep and Zhongli and helped Apep complete the deal, this gift was really too expensive.

It was so valuable that Rhode felt guilty about keeping it.

He believed that what he had done was far from worthy of the crown of the Dragon King.

If he accepted this thing casually, God knows how Apep would control him in the future!

Rod's worries.

In Apep's eyes, it just turned into a few overbearing words: "Just take it if I tell you to. Is there any reason for me to take back what I gave you?"

resignedly.

Rhodes could only look to Zhongli for help.

However, Zhongli nodded and said with a smile: "My friend, you should accept this gift."

Even he said so.

No matter how much doubt Rhodes had in his heart, he had no choice but to accept this generous gift.

"Thank you, Lord Caolong, and thank you, Emperor."

There's nothing else to say except thank you.

"Humph--"

"hypocritical."

Apep always said what she thought. She knew that Rhode was not willing to accept such a gift, so naturally her words were not nice.

Zhongli accepted Rhode's thanks calmly and explained to him: "Without this item, it would be much more difficult for you to nurture Fushe's remaining soul."

"Ok?"

"What does the Emperor mean?"

Rhodes blinked and took out the crystal stone that Apep had stored with him.

Since neither Apep nor Zhongli had taught him how to nurture the residual soul, he had ignored the crystal stone during this period and simply carried it with him.

Therefore, the remaining soul of Fushe in the crystal stone did not undergo any miraculous changes and was still as weak as a candle in the wind.

"Do you know how you nurtured that guy before?"

Apep was talking about the Great Kindness Tree King.

Rhode replied as a matter of course: "Because she and I are of the same origin, her remaining consciousness can reside in my Eye of God."

"It's more than that."

Apep continued to add on behalf of Rhodes: "You have unparalleled compatibility with the elemental forces of this world. Any elemental force that passes through your hands can play a certain degree of amplification role. Oh, by the way, you should know what material the Heart of God is made of, right?"

"."

"Know."

Rhodes probably knew what Apep wanted to say.

He is a large Heart of God in human form.

It’s just that it doesn’t have the huge elemental power stored inside the Heart of God.

After explaining these.

Apep played with the green crystal in his hand and said, "Your Thunder Elemental God's Eye is of little use to him. It is not of the same origin. Even if it can be nurtured, the effect will be minimal. So you still have to use this."

talking.

Apep tapped on the dragon crown of Lord Rādhāraṇa with his fingers.

Rhodes listened to all this thoughtfully.

Like Xiao, Fushe is a Yaksha who was born before the war between demons and gods and when the laws of nature were established.

According to the definition of elemental creatures.

They are all lives born from the elements of Teyvat. The deposition of elements will turn into slime, and the rise of elements will form crystal butterflies. Only a very few lucky ones will turn into more dangerous elemental monsters.

This is how dragons, yakshas, ​​and immortals were born in Teyvat.

Apep is an elemental life form that was born before the new rules were established by the Heavenly Law. Therefore, the elemental force she uses is very different from the elemental force commonly used in the continent of Teyvat today. To put it another way, the elemental force she uses should actually be called the force of the light world.

This is also the reason why she regards the Great Compassionate Tree King as her daughter.

Because on this continent.

Except for the original Dragon King.

There is no one who shares the same origin with her anymore.

After Tianli defeated the Dragon King and re-established the rules of the elements.

The elemental life born during this period is essentially a new type of elemental force under new rules.

It is also an elemental force known as human world force.

Xiao, the sage of Liyue, Lannaro, the pure water elf, the second generation Dragon King, they all use the power of the human world.

The incident ended at the end of the Third Tenri War.

After being severely damaged by the Dragon King Nibelung, Tianli was unable to maintain the elemental order of Teyvat, so he created the Seven Thrones and the Eye of God system. Since then, the elemental force system of Teyvat has changed again.

This time, the elemental force system can be said to be specially customized by heaven for mortals.

Specific manifestations.

That is, the element of willpower is mixed into the current elemental force.

This is a power that belongs exclusively to human beings.

The wishes of mortals are uploaded to the sky. If they are recognized by the Sky Island, they can obtain the gifts of the gods and possess the fragments of the gods' power, which is the Eye of God.

Apep's idea was clear.

That is, Rhodes used his own medium to amplify the thunder element power drawn from the earth veins, in order to nourish Floating House, a thunder element creature whose essence is to use the power of the human world.

After rebirth in such a floating house.

He was the Yaksha Fushe who had not yet been tainted by the will of the human world, and not the Teng Snake Marshal Fushe who later fought for people.

Zhongli seemed to approve of her actions.

"Don't you want Fushe to continue to bear the contract, so that he can have a new life without any worries?"

Rhodes thought to himself, and then raised a new question: "What about the body? How do you plan to solve the problem of Fushe's body?"
