It's working hours now, and this is not the time for them to slack off. They still need to be careful.
"Didn't I tell you to go ask before? Rahman and the others should be in place by now."
Seeing that Egolia had put down the drink in her hand, Buyer's tone became serious.
After all, this matter is quite important. The reason why they have been working overtime these days, besides because of the shortage of manpower, is actually related to this matter.
"The mission has been assigned, and the troops are all in place. If you had no intention of fighting, I estimate that with just one order from you, the army from Xumi would be able to cross the border and enter Liyue's territory."
Familiarly operating the void terminal next to her ear, Egolia took out the answer she had prepared long ago and showed it to Buyer.
"Well, in this case, our preparations here are probably complete."
Looking at the picture appearing in the void, which showed the dense symbols of armed forces spread across the border of Xuli, Buyer nodded with satisfaction.
It turns out that, like other gods, although Egolia seems unreliable on weekdays, once she starts doing her job, her efficiency is not low at all.
Even in just a few days, she was able to lead the cadres under her to implement the plans on paper into practice without causing any trouble. In terms of administrative ability alone, she is indeed much better than the other officials in power.
Now it seems that there is a reason why Fontaine has one of the most advanced political systems in all of Teyvat.
"Are you alright? If you are, I will go find Idia and the others first. I just brought them to Xumi, and they are still a little uncomfortable with everything."
Seeing that Buyer didn't seem to intend to continue asking questions, Egolia put away the drinks on the table and prepared to leave.
Since she woke up, according to Nashida's previous request, she flew around Sumeru to speed up her body's adaptation, and also found the pure water elves hiding in various places in Sumeru.
Of course, when they saw her return just now, the reactions of these pure water elves were also very interesting. Basically, every one of them looked stunned, which made people laugh.
It was the first time she knew that pure water elves could show such rich expressions, as if they were saying that they had seen a ghost, and each of them had a distorted expression.
But after confirming that she was not a ghost and had truly resurrected, her former followers, as expected, all resumed their follower contracts with her and followed her to Xumi City.
Therefore, as a god, she naturally had to take good care of these pure water elves who were unfamiliar with the place, and at least arrange accommodation and work for them.
Fortunately, these pure water elves had basically transformed into humans in Fontaine before, so they were not too unfamiliar with living in the human world and adapted very quickly.
As for why Nashida asked her to find all these "traitors" from Fontaine and what the purpose of doing so was, she was too lazy to care.
Anyway, the current water god is Fucarus, and has nothing to do with her, Egolia. As long as Nashida doesn't poke a hole in the sky, she won't interfere.
"Go now. I can finish the rest of the work by myself. You have been working really hard these days. I will treat you to afternoon tea some other day."
When Buyer heard that Egolia was going to look for her followers, he naturally had no reason to stop her.
After all, these pure water elves are quite kind, and their personalities after transforming into human form are also very interesting. Compared with Lanaro's innocence, it is also a novel experience.
I just don’t know why, Idia, the most powerful pure water elf on Xumi’s side, would have that kind of personality. It really surprised her.
But it’s an accident, and we probably won’t need them in the short term, so let them work in Xumi for a while.
At the moment, she should focus her energy on Liyue.
Calculating the time, we can start once Nashida and Zhongli are ready.
Chapter 176 Ningguang
The Jade Tower is a magnificent palace suspended above Liyue Harbor. It is also a landmark building in contemporary Liyue and the most dazzling pearl of Liyue's classical mechanical technology.
This is the symbol of the pinnacle of human power in Liyue, and the residence of "Tianquan Star" among the Seven Stars of Liyue.
Just as Ningguang once said, this floating island is not only a reflection of her own strength, but also her ambition for the future.
Unlike the other Seven Stars who came from aristocratic families, Ningguang's rise to fame is somewhat legendary. She worked her way up from the bottom of Liyue to her current position step by step.
Although she made many compromises in the process and her actions could not be described as aboveboard, there is no doubt that she is definitely one of the most powerful humans in Liyue.
This unique background made her somewhat out of place in Liyue, a society that valued family background. Therefore, compared with those Liyue high-ranking officials who came from aristocratic families, she valued this hard-earned power more.
For example, establishing an intelligence network that is loyal only to himself, trying to support his own forces in the Liyue government, and cooperating with the immortals almost immediately after their arrival.
She knew very well that her appearance was an exception to the aristocratic families in Liyue. Even her experience of rising to the top was full of weirdness.
Whether it was the Eye of God that inexplicably appeared in his hand, which was obviously ownerless but was then lit up by himself, or the various experiences he encountered on his way to the position of Tianquan Star, they all seemed very unusual.
All of this seemed to be destined, as if there was an invisible hand pushing her forward, making her feel doubtful.
In addition, the Emperor suddenly announced reform measures, and then introduced immortals to participate in Liyue’s political affairs. Today, he suddenly died mysteriously when the God of Grass came to visit.
Faced with all these things, Ningguang finally understood after thinking for more than half a month.
It's the same old saying. She should have figured it out long ago. The reason why she could reach this position was not only because of her own strong abilities, but also because of the so-called "process" of history.
Now that the Emperor has fallen, the immortals have led their people to flee, and the entire Liyue is in chaos. The God of Grass has spread the word that he will choose a new God of Rock...
"Lord Grass God, regarding your request for cooperation, in my opinion, this is definitely a mutually beneficial and win-win situation for the people of both countries."
In the reception room of the Jade Pavilion, Ningguang was discussing the cooperation between Liyue and Xumi with Nashida.
Although Liyue is still in chaos and this chaos is getting worse as time goes by, Ningguang has not forgotten the Xumi people who came to visit this time. She invited them over and started to discuss the specific plan of this cooperation.
After seeing the conditions proposed by Xumi, she really believed that this time Xumi probably really wanted to discuss cooperation with them and had no other purpose.
But unfortunately, with the death of the Emperor and the chaos in Liyue, even if these cooperation terms are really good, it is difficult for them to implement them.
Therefore, after a series of negotiations, Liyue can only temporarily sign a corresponding treaty with Xumi, and then consider its implementation after the situation stabilizes.
In response, Xumi expressed its understanding and even kindly asked if help was needed. It did not express any dissatisfaction after being politely declined, which was very reassuring.
But after the negotiation, which was a great success for both parties, Ningguang did something out of character. She avoided everyone and secretly found Nashida who was about to leave, and invited her to the Jade Pavilion for a chat.
Faced with Ningguang's active invitation, Nashida certainly did not refuse. She also avoided everyone and followed her to the Qun Yu Pavilion.
"Of course. Liyue and our country have always had friendly relations, and the exchanges between the people of our two countries are also very frequent. We will naturally not make any unreasonable requests."
While speaking the diplomatic rhetoric that she was almost tired of saying these days, Nashida covered the entire Jade Pavilion with her perception.
After confirming that there were only the two of them in the entire Qun Yu Pavilion and no one else would come to disturb them, her expression gradually began to reveal a hint of mystery.
It seems that after setting up the plan for so long, someone finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"It's a pity that the death of the Emperor has dealt a heavy blow to our Liyue. It may be difficult for us in Liyue to realize these cooperation projects in the short term."
Finally, after the two of them had been complimenting each other for a while, Ningguang took the opportunity to change the subject and began to bring the conversation to matters concerning the Emperor.
"Well, as one of the seven rulers of the mortal world, I can understand this. Rock God is a respectable god."
Seeing that Ningguang was finally not going to end all these twists and turns, even though the topic itself was very sad, Nashida found it difficult to hold back her smile.
I could only think about all the sad things in my life, and combined with the experience of Buyer educating me before, I was able to suppress it.
"Lord Grass God, although it may be a little presumptuous, I still want to confirm with you again. You said before that a new Rock God will be selected soon. Is this true?"
Ningguang's tone was sincere, and her sad expression didn't seem fake. For most people in Liyue, this kind of reaction was normal.
I just don’t know, if one day I leave for some reason, after I leave, will all her previous efforts be forgotten in Xumi?
For some reason, when Nashida saw Ningguang's sad expression, she suddenly thought of this, and her originally happy mood suddenly became depressed.
"That's for sure. The Seven Rulings of the Midgard are the most important order in the world of Teyvat. As long as there is a vacancy, it will be filled."
This is a lie, because the essence of the Seven Rulers of the Earthly Realm is nothing more than an excuse for Sky Island to launch a war against demons and use it to consume the demons' strength, just like if the water god smashed his throne, nothing would happen.
But this does not mean that this reason is useless. Humans don’t know this anyway, so they can take advantage of this information gap to cause trouble.
"And based on the intelligence I currently have, as well as the information left by the previous Rock God, the method of selecting the Rock God this time will be quite special."
So, Nashida told Ningguang the rules of the mini version of "Demon War" that she had previously discussed with Zhongli, and emphasized that ordinary people can also become gods.
She believed that with Ningguang's intelligence and Zhongli's previous hints, she would understand what she meant.
"... "
As expected, after Nashida finished her explanation, Ningguang fell silent and fell into deep thought.
And Nashida did not disturb the other person's thoughts, but just looked at him with a smile.
"Lord Grass God... No, great Lord Little Auspicious Grass King, I have something to say to you."
After waiting for a long time and thinking for a long time, Ningguang finally made up her mind and her tone became firm.
"Oh, what do you think? As the god of wisdom, I can provide you with insights."
As if she had expected Ningguang to say this, Nashida kindly expressed her willingness to hear more, demonstrating the demeanor of a wise god.
In order to make Ningguang relax, she even secretly gave her a mental attribute BUFF to help her make up her mind.
"What if? I mean what if." However, even so, this Tianquan Star still couldn't hide his nervousness.
It's not her fault. After all, no matter who does this, it probably won't be any better.
"If there is such a person, even though she does not seek the position, she still takes it as her responsibility to benefit the country. When the country is in chaos, if she is popular and only taking office can benefit the country the most, she can only take the responsibility and completely abandon her own selfishness..."
After saying that, Ningguang did not speak in a hurry, but stared at the small figure in front of her with a firm look.
“Haha~ You said it very well.” Clapping her hands gently, Nashida nodded her little head to express her approval of Ningguang’s words.
Then she began to use grass elemental blocks to prop herself up until she was as high as Ningguang.
"We will definitely get along well in the future, dear Miss Ningguang."
Nashida stretched out her little hand and shook it tightly with Ningguang, smiling brightly.
Chapter 177: Nashida's Way of Dealing with People
Nashida simply shook hands with Ningguang for a while. This time, she did not pursue any sense of ceremony. She just shook hands casually and then let go.
Then, under Ningguang's gaze, she reached behind her back, took out a Tianxing and threw it to her.
"This is the certificate you need to become a candidate for Rock God."
Without further explanation, Nashida briefly mentioned it, then removed the grass elemental block from under her, turned around, walked to the sofa in the reception room of the Jade Pavilion, and leaned back comfortably.
Now that the serious py trading is over, it's time to relax and have fun.
Ever since Nashida came to Liyue, she has hardly stopped for a moment, busy with this and that all day long. Now that she has finally arranged everything, she can finally take a good rest.
“Ningguang, don’t just stand there, quickly put away your Sky Star and come here.” Seeing Ningguang still staring at the Sky Star, Nashida snapped her fingers.
After attracting her attention, he urged Ningguang in return.
The only difference from before is that after confirming that Ningguang is one of hers, Nashida's attitude towards Ningguang also quietly changed.
"I've actually heard about Liyue's delicious food a long time ago when I was in Xumi. And since it's almost time for dinner, why don't we taste it together in this Yuge?"
At this moment, Nashida no longer had the demeanor of the God of Wisdom she had just had. Both her tone and expression were extremely friendly.
It was as if all the behavior just now was an illusion, and the her now was the real her.
"Okay, Lord Grass God, I'll arrange it for you right away."
After Nashida said this, Ningguang, who was still a little nervous, immediately relaxed and a smile appeared on her face again.
She had heard in the past that the grass god of Xumi was a god who was very close to humans. After seeing him today, she found that his reputation was indeed well-deserved.
No matter what her true intention was, at least Nashida was willing to talk to her like this. For her, it was a great honor.
"Okay~ Remember to bring me some more desserts--"
After waving at Ningguang, Nashida took the initiative and sent her out of the Jade Pavilion without causing any disgust from her.
Not only did she not feel disgusted, but Ningguang even felt flattered by it. She really understood the psychology of the mortals in Teyvat.
"I never get tired of trying. It seems that Tianquanxing Ningguang can't stand up to the little loli."
He closed the door of the Qun Yu Pavilion and walked to the top-quality sofa that Ningguang had bought from Fontaine at a high price. Then he jumped high and landed heavily on the sofa and bounced.
Although Nashida still emphasized her authority over her little loli's body, she had actually already accepted her fate and was enjoying it.
And she also discovered that her loli appearance could have miraculous effects at certain times.
For example, when the atmosphere is very serious, or when everyone is very sad, as long as she is willing to humble herself, she can be very effective in livening up the atmosphere.
During this process, she doesn't need to do anything deliberately. Even if she says some incomprehensible metaphors, as long as she can show the so-called "contrast", she can always reverse the dull atmosphere.
The only bad thing is that this trick doesn't work on Buyer. No matter how cute she tries, Buyer's feather duster will never show mercy.
He is obviously the closest person to her, but he is always thinking about how to cheat her all day long. It really makes God speechless.
...
"Lord Grass God, these are our Liyue specialties, and these are the desserts I prepared especially for you. Please enjoy them."
Nashida didn't have to wait long. Ningguang soon returned to the Jade Pavilion carrying several huge wooden packing boxes.
