Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 438 Our road is indestructible

The temple of the salt of the earth cuts off all the hustle and bustle of the outside world, leaving only the silence that even time freezes.

Famas stepped into the temple of Heulia, the snow-white satin banner hung high, and the shimmering light reflected through the crystal on the top of the building onto the desk in front of the throne. The quill on the family crest indicates that Salt Soil also had trade with Old Mond.

"This place is so peaceful...it's as if you're not in the Tivat continent."

At that time, Famas looked at Heulia's cold temple, but he didn't seize the other side's sacred seat carved with complicated patterns and exuding elegant fragrance, but came to the desk opposite the sacred seat.

The boy pushed the parchment on the desk to the edge with his hands, and sat down boldly, his blood-stained boots trampling on the short-term truce agreement signed between Heulia and the demon gods around Salt of the Earth.

"Thank you for your compliment, God of War."

Heulia stood on the steps obediently. Considering the difference in customs between the two countries, she didn't even dare to sit back on her divine seat. She just held on to her loose silk clothes and stood there quietly like a salt sculpture, raising her head to respond. opponent's evaluation.

Famas looked down at Heulia's eyes that were as pure as salt flowers, then looked away, picked up the parchment scrolls around him that looked like contracts, shook the dust on them, and read:

"Heulia, the demon god of salt, and King Qingce Dragon signed a treaty of peace, so that the two countries and their subjects can restore harmony, and put an end to future disputes. They reviewed the agreement with each other and confirmed that it was complete. They agreed on the terms and conditions. , and are listed as follows."

"From the bank of Dihuazhou to the beach to the mouth of the Bishui River, and from the mouth of the river to Zhuting and Shimen in the river, all cities and towns to the east are included in the demarcation line, including fields, rock mines, water Vehicles and other public facilities and resources will always be handed over to King Chi..."

The boy frowned and read the entire contract.

If converted into a region thousands of years later, this contract of land cession and compensation took away the entire Dihuazhou originally owned by Heulia and the small island of Tingzhu on the Bishui River, in exchange for a short-term truce.

From the obscure and extremely precise words, Farmas guessed that the witness of this contract should be the Rock King Morax who returned to Liji, but his focus is obviously not on him and he has no hatred of Morax.

"Qingze Dragon King... Heulia, as a demon god, can't you beat even a Chilong?"

Famas casually threw the unequal contract into the pile of rolls in the corner of the temple.

Judging from the scale of the scrolls piled up in the temple, Heulia has signed many land-cutting contracts.

"...Maybe I can defeat that King Chi, but the children will also bleed and be injured."

Heulia shook her head gently, Bu Yao with her silver-white hair swayed slightly, her handsome profile revealed a slight sense of depression, she just stood there quietly with her arms folded, like a holy and fragile picture scroll.

"We have a lifespan that is longer than ordinary people, long enough to be squandered, and a resume that is enough to be written into history. This allows us to gain insight into the mysteries of the world and grasp the laws of the world.

"Mortals come from the mother's womb naked and start learning from blank paper, but we gather in us the ups and downs of time, the truth of the past and the yet to come... I also know the connection between clouds and dusk, the harvest of salt and the truth of a hundred years. There are other uses."

"I want to be their best god, best mother."

Heulia was always gentle and respectful, but her words were so decisive.

"Blindly giving in will only make the greedy hounds gain an inch. They first ask you for salt, and then they ask you for the territory of the city. What will you have left in the end?"

"Is it the children you hold dear?"

Famas stood up to refute, and the heavy armor on his legs rubbed and collided with each other due to trampling, making a dull sound.

Although Farmas' words sounded unreasonable, Heulia was somewhat envious of the God of War.

Because only countries with enough confidence have the courage to say this, the military equipment and system cohesion possessed by Munata are unique in the Tivat continent, so rare that it is like a myth.

But the death and pain caused by such a war made Heulia unable to bear it.

"I don't want to choose."

Heulia's voice was low and calm, and she looked up at the handsome young man with sad eyes.

"Do you think a mother will choose among her children who should be fed to the lions and who should live?"

"I know that the victor lasts forever, but after all, victory needs to be exchanged for human life. You divide your people into high and low, and put a value on each life. Some people should go to the front to die, and some people can die in the front line Live in the rear."

"Should those soldiers who have been selected shoulder such a fate and responsibility?"

"Respected God of War, no one wants to be the one who is abandoned... They are born as human beings, so they should think about themselves. We cannot accuse the weak of their selfishness, because they have never had room to sway."

The words of the God of Salt reverberated in the empty and silent temple. The arrival of the Demon God War had muddied the water in this continent. The mighty Demon God, the power of salt seems so insignificant.

Her land was taken piece by piece, and the believers dispersed little by little, but even so, Heulia was still doing everything she could to protect the children who still believed in her.

"In this senseless fight, if you win, you can certainly become a hero recorded in history, but if you lose..."

"All your thoughts and plans will become reasons for judging you. No matter what, when you are in a war, you are the guilt itself, and I and my children need protection."

"I am their only mother and I cannot give up any of my children."

These were the toughest words Heulia had ever said when facing other demon gods. Perhaps it was the power of war that Famas possessed that stimulated her. This weak king of salt and earth directly spoke out about the final outcome that the other party might face.

In the wordless silence, the two stared at each other for a long time.

"I get it, but I want you to understand that you can't make decisions for all humans."

"Some people avoid cruel rule, but destroy the country instead. Some people don't mind the reputation of cruelty in order to make their subjects unite. Which choice and to what extent are all issues that the lord of a country should consider."

At that time, Famas did not expect his few words to persuade Heulia's determination not to participate in the war, nor did he feel angry at the ending depicted by the other party, but only sighed softly.

"This is a communication device made by Witch R, which can contact Munata's forward army in Mond."

Famas hesitated for a moment, took out a spherical communication device from an unknown space, and threw it at Heulia.

The God of Salt was still afraid of his offensive words just now. Hearing what Famas said, he stretched out his hand in a panic, and took the spherical machine thrown by the boy.

"I hope that when we meet next time, you will understand the reason why my hands are covered with blood, and I also hope that your path will not be clouded with smog."

Famas waved his hand and stepped away from the temple, which was as silent as a tomb, leaving only Heulia with a dazed expression on his face.
