Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 432 Vulkan Arsenal
In the cave of Salt in the Earth, except for elemental creatures like slimes, there are almost no other creatures, and there is a sense of tranquility. In addition, this is the final destination of the demon god of salt, which adds a bit of poignancy. illusion.

But Zhongli, who was stopped by Pameng, did not punish Wanyan with the majesty of a god like he did to Clement, but just looked at her with compassion.

"If you can get relief that way, maybe it is an easier way, but as a punishment, I will tell you the truth."

The traveler's eyes widened, and Wan Yan's voice was trembling, as if she still didn't understand what Zhong Li was talking about.

"The truth? Are you telling the truth... is it my punishment?"

"Yes," Zhong Li lowered his eyes, as if he had turned back into the rock king sitting on the god's seat, "The next thing you will hear is the price you paid for breaking the contract."

"Unfortunately, Heulia, the demon god of salt, is not a powerful demon god. On the contrary, she is too weak, too accommodating, and too weak. It is absolutely impossible for her to ascend to the position of the Seven Gods...the loser."

The last two words that Zhong Li uttered were majestic like a god, but Wan Yan could only find it unbelievable.

"What did you say……?"

Zhong Li continued to speak, but what he said next was no longer the history of this ruin, but his personal memories as the rock god Morax.

"During the War of the Demon Gods, the demon gods in the world tried their best to fight for the Tivat Continent."

"But Heulia chose to escape. She believed that as long as she gave up before the battle happened, the war would never affect herself and her people."

"However, in the long years of war, there will be no end to concessions. In the bottomless concessions, Heulia lost all her land, leaving only the last shelter."

As soon as Zhong Li finished speaking, Wan Yan waved her hands again and again, shook her head in resistance, and talked to herself as if she was lost.

"No...no...impossible..."

But Zhong Li still did not stop talking, and shifted his gaze to the two severed swords enshrined on the altar.

"During Heulia's final moments, she didn't even have a weapon that could be raised to protect her people."

This is the end of Zhongli's narration.

Perhaps the truth was so heavy that even Paimon didn't know how to answer the words, and the atmosphere in the ruins suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, Famas let out a soft sigh.

He persuaded Heulia when he led the troops stationed in Yantu, but she was still unwilling to have conflicts, and she was unwilling to participate in the war. shake?
Hearing Zhongli's last words, Wan Yan seemed to have found a loophole, and looked eagerly at the broken sword on the altar.

"You said you don't even have a weapon? But, this sword..."

"This broken sword is not a relic of the Demon God of Salt, but... the weapon that killed her."

Zhong Li came to the altar and picked up the two severed swords.

Although it has experienced the wear and tear of time and the aftermath of the demon god's death, it can still be seen clearly where the sword body and the handle meet, and there are still snow-white salt flowers and crystals as deep as stars sticking together.

It was the blood left by [Demon God of Salt] Heulia, and the crystallization formed by the mixture of divine power and abyssal power.

"The murder weapon?" Wan Yan murmured to herself as if she had heard something incomprehensible, "No! This is false, what you said is false, you want to shake my confidence in Lord Heulia! "

Zhongli's tone remained calm, as if he didn't care about Wan Yan who was about to collapse.

"As I said, I'm only stating the facts."

"If you want to know the origin of this weapon, maybe you can ask Farmas."

Mr. Zhong handed the broken sword in his hand to the red-clothed young man with a complex expression on his face. Everyone's eyes also focused on Farmas. Wan Yan clenched his fists and looked at Farmas expectantly.

"I thought I could change Heulia's ending a little bit, but I didn't expect her fate to return to the original track."

Facing everyone's eyes, Famas took the broken sword from Zhongli, and carefully wiped off the stains and blood on the hilt with his palm.

The round head of the hilt of the broken sword is engraved with the ancient Munata inscription. Although it is somewhat blurred, it is enough to prove the origin of this long sword.

"Vulkan Ald-24602 Mechanism."

Farmas read out the exact meaning of the inscription, but Traveler, Paimon and others were confused.

"What... mechanism..."

Little Paimon moved closer to Famas, looked at the incomplete inscription, and asked curiously.

"Remember this painting?"

Famas did not directly respond to Paimon's doubts, but raised his hand and took out a scroll from his bosom. It was an ancient painting made by [Hand of the King] Ahtar. The factory depicted on the canvas was huge and brightly lit. But no trace of human work can be seen.

Sooner or later, this canvas will be destroyed, but the colors on it will become more and more intense.

"This sword was produced in the Vulcan Armory in Munata, manufactured by Engineers code-named Ald-24602."

"The Vulcan Armory was jointly built by Munata and Abyss. It mainly produces various cold weapons for killing demon gods. All weapons contain a small amount of Abyss power."

"Because the black mist of the abyss is highly poisonous to any living being, the factory replaced human production with machines, and almost realized a fully mechanized process."

Farmas shrugged and put the scroll back into his arms.

The traveler is still thinking about why Munata is connected with the salt in the ground, but Wan Yan seems to have grasped the last straw and rushed to the boy eagerly.

"So Lady Heulia is still very powerful, right? What else can she trade with... Nata Kingdom."

Famas didn't care about Yi Wanyan's slip of the tongue, he just stroked the section of the long sword with his leather-covered fingers, and then shook his head.

"Munata's God of War once led his troops to stay in the salt soil for a short time when he conquered the Tivat continent."

"At that time, the "King of Man" who was the salt of the earth met privately with the god of war at Munata, hoping to exchange salt and by-products for weapons they could not make. "

"However, Heulia quickly discovered this secret transaction and blocked the communication between the two parties on the grounds of causing trouble."

"However, when the Munata army left the camp, the God of War personally presented Salt of the Earth's "King of Man" with a long sword, and made it clear that he was willing to trade arms and ammunition with Salt Earth. "

When Famas narrated this past event, he used a tone similar to that of Zhongli, but everyone except Wan Yan knew that what the young man told was what he had personally experienced.

"I didn't expect... this long sword, which was given as a sacrificial weapon and a trading sample, turned out to be the murder weapon for killing Heulia in the end."

Famas' narration ended here, but Wan Yan couldn't accept such an ending, and pointed at the cold-looking young man, and kept backing away.

"That's unreasonable! You...you are also a follower of Morax, don't try to lie to me!"

Wan Yan clenched her fists, turned around and left angrily, and ran deeper into the ruins.

"Hey! Hey, don't run!"

Paimon hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade, but all that was left to the crowd was the disappearing figure of the other party.

"Heulia may be a benevolent god, but it's a pity that she was born in the age of the Demon God War."

"Kindness is the most useless quality in war."

Famas and Zhongli still maintained that calm appearance.

They are gods, and it is natural for demon gods to love others, but this does not mean that they will overflow with sympathy.

Both know when to be kind and when to be cruel.

The traveler turned his head to look at Farmas, and seemed to hear other meanings from the boy's words.

"Famas, you said that this long sword was a gift for the King of Men...but it wasn't..."

"The ending is as you imagined..."

It was not Farmas who answered the traveler's question, but the emperor with deep eyes.

"This is a betrayal from the 'king of men'. "

"Since that's the case, let's continue to go deep. There... I'm afraid there will be something that makes Miss Wanyan have to accept the truth no matter what."
