Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

"Your Majesty the Emperor, my... subordinates have never dared to forget the contract with the Lord the Emperor for thousands of years. The Mandrill has eliminated the evil spirits near Liyue together with the influence of the Whirlpool Demon God. There should be no residue in a short time. ... Mandrill does not dare to leave his post without authorization, so he is bold and asks the emperor to give him some time to deal with his private matters!"

A few days have passed since the "Liyue Defense Battle", and the turmoil of that battle has initially subsided, and everything is back on track.

Mandrill's responsibility for himself in that battle was to serve as a shield and the last line of defense to protect Liyue. In his words, if the front line was lost, he could hold it alone.

Fortunately, everything was a near miss. Although Bashi escaped at some point, the seal was intact. After confirming that Osel fell into a deep sleep again, Mandrill worked harder than usual, cleaning out the evil spirits day and night.

He felt guilty for delaying his duties due to personal matters. I don't ask for forgiveness, I just hope that this can slightly reduce the possibility of Liyue being in danger during his absence.

"...This journey may be risky, but you insist on going."

Zhongli turned his back to Mandrill. He had anticipated this conversation, and had taken some insurance for it before... But now, he felt guilty. He didn't want to use that insurance anymore.

But the contract was completed, and it was not up to him whether to use it or not. And that little friend's character, even if he is not bound by a contract, he will not sit idly by and ignore it.

That's all... let's find some remedies then.

"We have been guarding this place for more than a hundred years and never leave it without permission. Only regarding the Wuming Yaksha, I sincerely ask the Emperor for permission."

For thousands of years, Mandrill has never disobeyed the emperor's wishes. But it was about old friends, and he really couldn't let go.

……

"Is this the "Punishment Nail"...it's really pretty. "

Deep in the rocky abyss. Zuo Xi looked at the huge stone pillar floating in the air, with a hint of approval in his eyes. If nothing else, at least this pillar is really pretty.

This was not the first time that Zuo Xi had seen the Punishment Nail. This thing also existed in the snow-capped mountains. But this was the first time he had seen the Nail of Punishment activated. The one in the snow mountain was still inactive when he went there, and he didn't know how that lazy guy missed it when he was hoeing the earth.

What he didn't know was that when Ying went to the Snowy Mountains for the first time, if it hadn't been for the help from the Fools, she and Paimon might not have been able to leave. Since then, the two of them have cast a shadow on that place, although they vowed to explore it one day when their strength is restored. But up to now, I don’t see them having any intention in this regard.

In short, the nail of punishment, with its crystal-clear structure, blue light, and mysterious symbols surrounding it, was very much to Zuo Xi's liking. He could imagine how cool it would be to sit high in the clouds and rain down the nails of judgment if he were the law of heaven.

Zuo Xi did have plans to design kinetic energy space-based weapons, but the sky in Teyvat did not support him doing such a thing. And putting satellites into the sky is somewhat provocative. Although Tianli is still sleeping, he doesn't dare to be so arrogant for the time being.

Let’s talk about the Great Strata Abyss. Judging from the official announcement, this place is not officially open yet. Logically speaking, Zuo Xi shouldn't be able to get here. But he had a deal with Ningguang and had a good relationship with Zhongli. So he can go through the back door.

Moreover, Zuo Xi completely ignored the mere seals and guards. If the entrance of the cave is sealed, you don't need to go through the entrance. Just dig another hole and you're done. It doesn't matter if the surface area is guarded by the Qianyan Army. Once the disguise is off, I can even take a shower in front of them.

In short, whether it is legal or illegal, Zuo Xi has many ways to get to this rock.

"...a very mysterious thing."

"Really, you think so too, right? By the way, didn't your master say anything?"

Shen He stared at the nail, and regardless of his original intention, Zuo Xi finally interpreted the words as approval. But compared to this, Zuo Xi was more curious about Liu Yun's reaction when Shen He said "I want to go to Layer Rock."

"Master, she was silent for a while at first. Then she said the same thing as you - "... well, just do what you want to do" - that's what she said. "

It has to be said that Shen He's imitation is very similar, even the deep sigh and the arrogant feeling are imitated... I don't know how a person with no expression and weak emotions can imitate it. From the looks of it, she and Paimon would probably have a lot to talk about.

"You stand back...something is coming."

Shen He, who was chatting with Zuo Xi, suddenly looked serious and protected Zuo Xi behind him. Zuo Xi was stunned for a moment.

No, Liuyun hasn’t told you yet? Or did the guy never think to remind you about it? But your master has left you under my care, why do you think I'm weak?

Originally it was just a small matter, just to clear up the misunderstanding. But Shen He kept doing this again and again, which made Zuo Xi interested. He simply said nothing and waited to see when Shen He would react.

"There is something, an old antique left by Kanria. I don't like other things in Kanria, but its durability is really good. It can still be used without maintenance for five hundred years. Although it is not specialized for combat. , but it’s not easy to deal with those strange black mud...so can you handle it?"

Zuo Xi, who had not mentioned his strength, consciously stepped back and handed the battlefield to Shen He.

Although this "Giant Ruin Snake" looks quite bluffing, it's actually just that. With Shen He's strength, it would be no problem to deal with such a thing. If I had to say, the black mud was more troublesome, but they also collected a lot of lumen stones along the way, so just black mud was a minor problem.

It is worth mentioning that this black mud has no effect on him at all, and there will be no discomfort even if it is touched directly.

Combined with the performance of the adventurer named "Zhi Qiong", the environment of the Strata Abyss, especially the black mud, should be harmful to ordinary people.

Thinking of his body's rejection of elemental power, Zuo Xi couldn't help but have a guess in his mind.
