People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

In the stubborn mind of Apep, this was definitely an act of betrayal against the dragon clan.

Too many questions.

There was no way to ask while Apep was here.

Rhodes held it in until she left Qingyun Peak, and only then did he have the chance to ask the question in his mind.

"The dragon of grass helped me to subdue Rādhāra once again."

"It also helped me to retrieve the power used to seal on Ruotu."

Zhongli rarely tried to hide anything in this matter, and directly told Rhodes what had happened.

And everything he said was something Rhodes had never thought of.

According to Zhongli's description.

Ruota indeed went mad as soon as he saw him, his mind filled with hatred that had been sealed for thousands of years.

The destructive power of the Dragon King Rudra, who was blinded by hatred, was terrifying.

On fighting alone.

It was difficult for Zhongli to take him down on his own.

In addition, after so many years of wear and tear, his strength has been greatly reduced, making it even more difficult to deal with the Rādhāraṇa Dragon King who is in a completely crazy state.

Fortunately, the strength of the Ruota Dragon King, who was also suffering from wear and tear, was also greatly reduced.

if not.

The battle between the two will become a one-sided scene.

The joining of Apep was an important factor in allowing King Rudra to calm down.

As for what the two of them said.

Zhongli didn’t know.

He just knows.

After King Ruota had a secret conversation with Apep, he returned to the sealed space and was willing to be sealed by Zhongli again.

at the same time.

Apep also took away the intact crown of Lord Rādhāra.

She gave half to Rhodes and kept the other half for herself.

"What does she want this for?"

Rhodes weighed the palm-sized crown in his hand, looking somewhat puzzled.

Apep is the original grass dragon king.

She wields the most original grass elemental power of Teyvat, so why does she want to control the power of the Rhodra Dragon King who controls the earth veins?

Is she going to play some Dragon Ball tricks too?

Gather the seven elements to summon the King of the Nibelung and then go to fight against the law of nature?

"I don't know about that."

"You don't have to worry."

"From what I know about her, she wouldn't mess around with Rudra's crown."

"Besides, she only took half of the crown, and the other half is in your hands."

Zhongli didn't seem to be worried that Apep would mess around with the crown of the Ryota Dragon King. He was in a good mood and said jokingly, "My friend, instead of worrying about this, you should worry about the thunder stone in your hand. It's about to explode."

"—!"

Rhodes came back to his senses and his expression changed drastically.

But it was too late.

As soon as Zhongli finished speaking, the material in Rhodes' hand that he was using to construct the core of his body exploded instantly, catching Rhodes off guard. His whole body was like he had been shocked by high voltage electricity, and his hair and beard stood on end.

Failed again.

This was the seventeenth time Rhodes had failed since he and Zhongli signed the contract to build a body for Fushe.

Although Zhongli's requirements are not high.

He just wanted a mortal body for Fushe.

However, the process of making this body is still very complicated, and much slower than when Apep ripened and shaped the body for the Great Mercy Tree King.

To make Rhodes feel at ease.

Zhongli also specially borrowed one of Liuyun Jiefeng's immortal residences and brought Rhodes to this immortal place called Yuxu, which is located in an immortal place that almost no mortal can reach by human power.

The base of this Yuxu Immortal Palace is made of the same floating stone as the material used in the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Relying on the magical effect of the floating stone.

Yuxu was clearly built on top of the towering Qingyun Peak, but it still managed to surpass Qingyun Peak and became the tallest building and the highest reachable place in Liyue.

But nowadays very few people can achieve immortality.

Naturally, he had no chance to see the true appearance of the immortal Yuxu.

in other words.

This place is quiet and remote with pleasant scenery. No one is likely to disturb Rhodes' progress. If he is tired, he can take in the scenery, rest his eyes, and relax his mind.

Even to relieve Rhodes's worries and boredom.

Zhongli also brought a lot of snacks and books from Liyue Harbor, and accompanied him day and night. He didn't care about the affairs of Liyue Harbor, and everything was for the difficult task that Rhodes was doing.

It’s just that Fushe is a natural thunder element creature.

Want to reshape the right body for him.

Its core must still be based on the creation of thunder element.

Although Zhongli said that he didn't ask for too much, he knew clearly in his heart that the premise of an elemental creature meant that it would be extremely difficult to reshape Fushe's body.

What's more, Rhodes had to devote all his energy to relying on the power of the earth veins to nurture Fushe's remaining soul.

Such a distraction.

It will also make his work more difficult.

Fortunately, Zhongli prepared enough materials, enough for Rhodes to try his hand without wasting any.

“It’s really difficult.”

Rhode skillfully took out a mirror and combed his frizzy hair while complaining a little: "Emperor, you really found a troublesome task for me."

"Thank you for your hard work, my friend."

have to say.

Zhongli's words always make people feel comfortable.

A simple "thank you for your hard work" eased Rhode's mood, which was originally a little irritable due to constant failure.

Recalling the steps I just took.

Rhode wrote down what he thought might be the cause of the failure in a notebook, and started chatting with Zhongli: "The transfer of the throne is imminent, don't you need to go to Liyue Harbor to take charge of the situation?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Ningguang handled it very well."

"Ganyu is also maintaining order on my behalf. The immortals are now stationed in Liyue Harbor to prevent riots. I have also cleared out the intelligence personnel in Zhidong, Mondstadt, Inazuma, Fontaine, and Nata."

"The only thing we need now is to maintain public confidence."

"This is not something I should do. This is a test of the ability of the people of Liyue."

"I just need to wait and see, and hand over the throne to Xiao on the day of the handover."

Zhongli stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the faint red glow in the vast sea of ​​clouds, and nodded with satisfaction, "So far, the people of Liyue have done a good job. There are some minor flaws occasionally, but they are not serious."

"Did you clear out the intelligence personnel from Zhidong?"

After listening to Zhongli's words, Rhode suddenly realized and said, "No wonder Ningguang said a lot of inexplicable things to me when I returned to Liyue Harbor two days ago."

This is what Rod said.

It all started when he signed a new contract with Zhongli, returned to Liyue Harbor to pack up his things, and informed Nashida and Senor that they couldn't return to Xumi in the short term.

At that time, Ye Lan invited Rhodes to the banquet on behalf of Ningguang.

Said he was attending a banquet.

It was actually a small cocktail party for three people.

Ningguang spoke a lot of words of probing and thanking him, leaving Rhode completely confused.

He remembered it most clearly.

Ningguang asked several times in a roundabout way about the relationship between herself and Zhongli.

Rhodes's replies were all true.

As for whether Ningguang and Ye Lan believe it or not, that is up to them.

Now the truth is finally revealed.

No wonder Ningguang thanked him inexplicably for the lady's matter when Rhode arrived.

This is the reason why I spent so much time on this.

To ensure the stability of Liyue.

Zhongli took action personally and eliminated all destabilizing factors.

Ningguang put all the credit on Rhodes, which led to such a huge mistake.

"I thought Your Majesty would continue to allow them to cause trouble in Liyue Harbor."

Rhodes smiled and shook his head.

In his impression, Zhongli was a god who could watch Tartaglia release the demon god to attack Liyue Harbor without changing his expression in order to test whether the people of Liyue were capable of being governed by humans.

Now let’s see.

When there is no need for extreme human rule, Zhongli is still the dedicated God of Rock.

"what."

At this point, Rhode remembered that Zhongli seemed to have forgotten something just now: "Emperor, have you forgotten that Xumi also has intelligence personnel stationed here? You don't have to consider my face, just chase them away if you need to."

"Your intelligence personnel in Xumi"

Zhongli's expression suddenly became strange: "You should have never seen them?"

"No."

This is the truth.

The Xumi intelligence personnel currently in Liyue were all planted by Xumi when Azar was still in power.

The backer behind these people is Hazard.

He doesn't get along well with Rhodes.

After Nashida was restored to the throne, she focused all her energy on rebuilding the desert and the Sudun Order. She simply ordered them to stay in Liyue and no longer cared about them.

Then came Seno.

These are the people that Sino is responsible for contacting.

Rhodes has never met these Xumi intelligence personnel until now.

"Emperor, have these guys committed a crime?"

Judging from Zhongli's tone, Rhodes had reason to believe that this intelligence organization sent by Xumi Gong was most likely doing something shady, but was caught in the end.

If that is true.

It's not impossible to ask for favors for them.

However, Zhongli's answer was slightly different from what Rhodes expected.
