Chapter 53: The Rock God Asks Me to Destroy Liyue

Rhine's heart shuddered.

Emperor Geo knew everything that happened in Liyue, so he was not surprised. He was also prepared when Zhongli came to him alone at night.

I just didn't expect that Zhongli would reveal his cards so soon.

No, you guys don’t act?

"I hope Mr. Zhongli will explain clearly."

Rhine still sat lazily, but he was alert in his heart.

Although Zhongli would not do anything to him, when he actually talked to this Rock God who had lived for thousands of years, Rhine was still a little nervous due to Zhongli's many identities and deeds.

"Before that, I want to ask, what do you think of Liyue?"

Zhongli was not in a hurry to get to the point.

"not bad."

Rhine answered honestly: "Thanks to the governance of Emperor Yan, Liyue is now the richest country among the seven countries. The Seven Stars are well governed and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

The people of Liyue are very hospitable, and the food there is very much to my taste. If possible, I would even like to settle down in Liyue for a while."

Zhongli did not respond and continued to ask, "In your opinion, is it all due to Morax that Liyue is so prosperous?"

“Liyue’s ability to survive many wars and develop to this day is naturally inseparable from the Geo Emperor,” Rhine replied.

Liyue is different from other areas. In the past, there were many demons and wars here. Morax naturally made an indelible contribution to the fact that he was able to protect many people in such an environment, summon all the immortals to cleanse the four directions, and teach them the way of survival in times of peace.

"That makes sense."

Zhongli poured another cup of tea and continued, "Liyue's current achievements are indeed closely related to Morax.

But does Liyue still need Morax to continue to gain a foothold in Teyvat?"

"Of course not." Rhine shook his head.

“Although the Geo King can still bring many benefits to Liyue, even without him, the people of Liyue, who have been taught by him for thousands of years, can still gain a foothold in Teyvat.

The Emperor appears at the Summoning Immortals Ceremony every year to guide Liyue's development for the year and repair the laws, but even without him, the Seven Stars can accomplish these tasks.

Although it may increase their workload.”

Rhine spread his hands, but then he remembered that in Liyue, the person with the heaviest workload and the hardest work seemed to be not Qixing, but Qixing's secretary Ganyu.

Alas, poor coconut sheep.

"Mr. Zhongli often observes among the people. Don't you know these things better than me? Shouldn't your insights be more profound than mine? Why ask a person from Zhidong?" Rhine said with a smile.

Zhongli agreed, "That's true, but it's been such a long time, and I'm still a little worried about letting go so suddenly.

So let's get down to business, Mr. Executive."

Rhine stopped drinking tea, and the cup hung in the air.

"You need the Heart of God, I can give it to you." Zhongli said lightly, as if the Heart of God was just a piece of stone in his eyes.

"In that case, please tell me what you need, Mr. Zhongli."

Rhine put down the teacup and looked directly at Zhongli.

There was a gleam in his eyes, perhaps because of excitement or because the street lights were too bright.

Rhine knew that he was no match for Pantalone, Rosalin and the like, and he didn't understand conspiracies and intrigues. It would be best if Zhongli could speak frankly.

"A deal. I want you to continue your plan in Liyue, awaken Osel, and let it bring disaster to Liyue." Zhongli said slowly.

There was no emotion in Zhongli's words at this moment. Rather than being a god protecting Liyue, he who said this sounded more like a demon god who hated Liyue.

"As the other party to the deal, I can give you the Heart of God."

As he spoke, a golden chess piece appeared on the table. Although it was not as dazzling as the lanterns hanging on the street, it was extremely eye-catching in Rhine's eyes.

Rhine looked at the Heart of God and shook his head slowly.

"You don't agree?"

Seeing Rhine's performance, Zhongli's tone was obviously no longer calm.

No executive officer would object to exchanging the Heart of God, which the Fatui have always dreamed of, for the mission they were supposed to carry out anyway.

Rhine smiled and said, “Why would I disagree?

It’s just that the chips are not equal. This deal is too good, but Morax is the God of Contract.

A contract requires fairness. Your bargaining chip is too heavy. I don’t believe this deal is so simple. Mr. Zhongli must have something else he wants, but he doesn’t want to tell me.

A transaction that cannot be made public cannot make people feel at ease. "

Rhine is indeed not smart, but he is not stupid either.

Zhongli came to him so openly and told him that as long as the Fatui acted according to the plan, they could get the treasure they had always dreamed of.

This is impossible.

Zhongli's needs go far beyond this, but he is unwilling to say it.

It is better to be careful when doing business with gods. Even if they have no bad intentions, some insignificant costs in their eyes are not something Rhine can afford.

“Hehe, you don’t need to worry.

The Winter Kingdom's bargaining chips are far more than this, but that was a deal between me and the Ice Queen. It has nothing to do with the Fatui, and it will not implicate you."

Zhongli found it interesting. He had clearly gotten a great deal, but he didn't dare to make a deal easily. Such a person was rare in Liyue, which attached great importance to contracts.

However, it wouldn't hurt to give Rhine a little information to make him feel more at ease.

Zhongli explained: "I came to you because your actions are also part of the deal. As the beneficiary of your actions, I naturally have to inform you."

"Mr. Zhongli should go find an executive named Tartaglia, who is personally supervising this matter."

Rhine was puzzled. You want to release Osel, why are you looking for me?

I'm just here to fish.

"Although that warrior is pure, he doesn't like to scheme. If I tell him this, he might not continue. And if I let him know my true identity, he might be invited to fight."

Zhongli thought of the executive in the gray suit, who had been shouting that he wanted to fight with the gods of Liyue.

If he were the him three thousand years ago, he might have restrained his strength and gladly accepted the challenge, but now, he just wanted to take a break, listen to some opera, and drink some tea, which were much better than those fights.

Thinking of this, Zhongli looked at Rhine again.

According to his original idea, Rhine was not the right person to trade with.

There were three executives coming to Liyue this time, and he had already met two of them.

There is only one person left, that "lady". Although she has a bad temper, she is the most calculating.

When signing a contract, it is better to find a smart person.

But during today's trip, he watched the interaction between Rhine and Hu Tao and felt that this person was not bad. At least he never harbored any ill will towards Liyue.

With the sharp eyes that Zhongli had cultivated over thousands of years, everything Rhine did in Liyue came from his heart, whether it was helping Hu Tao or being kind to others.

Although his performance when gambling on stones was not very glorious, some minor flaws made Zhongli feel more at ease.
