Chapter 65: Arthur is no longer alive with Mora
There was no one left alive in the area that was covered, and even no trace of its existence remained. Only the scorched red ground proved that it had been attacked.
On several connected shallows, everything on this shallow was evaporated by a burst of reinforced imaginary scouts from the corners, leaving only a scorched earth and a round core.
The reason why Arthur could use the Imaginary Soldier to self-destruct without any burden was because of this. Although the Imaginary Soldier did not have a body that was strengthened enough to support a horn and could only be fired as a cannonball, the Imaginary Soldier had an advantage that the Heroic Spirit could not match, which was that as long as the core was not damaged, it could be repaired infinitely.
"what happens!"
After hearing the loud roar, Philgodette had just taken the little guest downstairs. When she heard the sound, she hurried up and saw Arthur still drawing the bow.
"Nothing, just two arrows."
Although Filgodette felt that the arrow Arthur was talking about might be different from what she understood, her eyesight was not enough to support her to see the scene in the distance. Since she didn't find anything, she warned Arthur not to hurt the tourists around her and left.
"It seems that we need to silence it first next time."
It's easy to solve. Whether it's Honkai or the ability taught by Venti, there are ways to reduce the sound. As long as the medium for transmitting sound is air, and when it is emitted, a Honkai energy-constructed fluid barrier is laid down to prevent the sound from spreading to Wangshu Inn.
Then he called back the imaginary vanguard that was still repairing, and waited for it to be completely repaired before launching the second bombing.
Another biggest advantage of the "Horn Attack" as a Noble Phantasm is that it has extremely low mana consumption. After all, the main source of damage is the explosion launched by the enhanced person, and it only acts as a fuse. As long as it has enough partners (guns) and companions (bullets), it can be one of its highest combat forces.
What's more, this is just a blue card. When you draw the upgrade coupon, new changes will probably occur after the upgrade.
However, while Arthur was waiting for the Illusory Scouts to fully recover, the Hilichurls were in complete chaos. A group of their compatriots disappeared inexplicably, and no one even knew how they disappeared. In the end, it was because of the leadership of the Rockhelm King that they were prevented from fleeing.
But when the next shell is ready, the battle will also be over.
In order to prevent any accidents, the Hillock King Rock Helmet gathered the remaining Hillock people on a shallow beach. The Hillock King also put up a layer of rock shield for himself when there were no enemies. The other Hillock people were looking around, preparing to deal with sudden attacks.
But with a sound of breaking air, everything came to an end. Even the Hillock Rock Helmet King, which had opened its shield, only left behind a symbolic crystal to prove that it had resisted. They had originally gathered together to prevent sneak attacks, but now because they were gathered too tightly, they all dissipated in the explosion of the imaginary scouts that were shot over.
This kind of large-scale camp and Hill Rock Helmet King only need two shells made by Imaginary Vanguards to clear the area. If the Imaginary God's Skeleton is summoned as a shell that day, it would be comparable to a nuclear bomb attack. It's a pity that this is not the film set next door, otherwise any tank-level Honkai beast can be used as a shell to let the other side see what a real artillery is.
Just like that, the mission was completed, and he left without saying goodbye to Filgodette. As for the judgment of the mission, it would be left to the Adventurer's Association. Just like that, Arthur returned to the Adventurer's Association in Liyue Harbor, submitted the mission report, and after receiving the mission reward, after his enthusiasm for the new skills faded, it was time to do some real work.
My original purpose of coming here was to meet Zhongli, and before Zhongli abdicated, I wanted to ask him to teach me some skills and knowledge, and then experience the culture and entertainment of Liyue.
Now, the task has added the requirement of participating in the ceremony of inviting the immortals and obtaining the Heart of God. There is no rush for the Heart of God, but since I have to participate in the ceremony of inviting the immortals, it would be a waste of my participation if I don’t do something fancy. Why have a black man carry the coffin when sending the immortals away?
Think about it and rule this out first. The Seven Stars of Liyue and the immortals will never allow sending the immortals off to become a joke. So how about taking a photo with Zhongli in front of his grave? Or, when sending the immortals off, ask Zhongli to come along and bring others to perform a musical performance?
I guess Zhongli wouldn't mind. Instead, he could call Venti, who is still in Mondstadt, over to join in the fun. I'm sure he would be very interested when he knows that he will have to perform with Zhongli at his funeral.
Now that the goal has been determined, of course... of course I would go to Wanwen Collection to buy the book first. I can go to Wangsheng Hall to look for Zhongli anytime and there is no rush. But if I don't buy the book and have to wait for the next issue to get a new book, then I may not be able to find the book in this issue.
Finally, I came to Wanwen Collection. Since I wanted to buy books, I bought them all at once, whether it was the "Jueyun Jiwen" series with Liyue characteristics, the "Tianheng Juedao Ji" that suits the general taste, or the famous "Shenxiao Zheji Lu", I even bought "Emperor's Dust Travels" after seeing it. In the end, after looking left and right, since I didn't know which one suits my taste better, I decided to buy one copy of all the books.
"Guest, are you sure you want all of them?"
Ji Fang had seen people who bought more than ten copies of a book, and there were also people who bought books in large quantities, but it was the first time she had seen someone like Arthur who bought all of them at once.
"Yes, give me one copy of each, pack them up and send them to xxx. Oh, and you don't need to copy The Emperor's Dust Travels. Just give it to me directly. I'll read it on the way."
After Ji Fang confirmed it again and again, the two finally established a contract and completed the transaction. The remaining books would be sent directly to Arthur's house, while "The Emperor's Journey" would be taken away by Arthur to read on the way.
For such a big customer, Ji Fang gave a 20% discount, but when he saw the total price, it directly emptied Arthur's family assets. The Mora that he had obtained through various channels before now became nothing. Therefore, the curse that the four gods could not put together a Mora finally took effect on him.
Zhongli has an external wallet, Tartaglia. As Inazuma's general, Ying will have the castle tower pay for his purchases. As a god, Grass God does not need to worry about payment in his own country. As for Wind God, Wendy performed and drank before, and now Arthur works to make money?
I also want to have a wallet, but I don’t want to work hard anymore.
Arthur, who didn't care about money at first, is now penniless. I wonder if this is a curse from being a god?
Arthur took the book "Emperor's Journey" and started reading it on the road. When he first saw this book, he wanted to see what the people of Liyue thought of the image of Emperor Chenyou.
And if I remember correctly, Zhongli himself praised this book.
I don't know who wrote it. Even Zhongli once said: The author of this book has a lot of ideas and a free-spirited mind. Even the author himself doesn't quite understand the content of the book. It's very fresh to read, as if you are looking at someone else's life.
Since he has said so, I must take a look at it myself.
Chapter 66: Four Gods Can't Make a Mora
The first part of the story begins with the emperor transforming himself into a nobleman and coming to the antique shop in Feiyunpo, Xiguju, to pick out antiques.
As the God of Rock, even after he turned into a human form, he still had the ability to distinguish the real from the fake. In the end, he chose a fake and told everyone about it. Then it was a story of proof and self-proof between the two of them.
In the end, both parties completed the transaction with satisfaction. Although the emperor knew it was a fake, the jade pendant reminded him of a friend, so he bought it at a high price. The store also sold the jade pendant at a high price, and both parties got what they wanted.
Most people only think that the Emperor is interesting when they see this story, and choose to buy it because the store owner tells the story of the Emperor transforming into a female body, but in Arthur's eyes it is another slightly sad story.
This jade plaque is not shaped in the image of the Emperor, but more clearly in the image of his deceased friend, Guizhong. The relationship between the two is complicated. Even the immortals who have followed the Emperor for a long time dare not say that they fully understand their relationship. Presumably, only the Emperor himself knows.
After reading the first volume, you should have understood the story of Emperor Chenyou, but thinking about his final destination is a bit sad. I believe that when Zhongli read this, he also thought of the scene when the two demons and immortals guarded their home together before Liyue was formed.
(Mihuyou, you have no heart!)
The remaining three volumes are respectively the story told by the store manager about the emperor's descent to the human world as a woman, the story when the emperor was looking for a jade carving, and the story when the emperor bought the jade pendant after listening to the story.
In general, for most people, the biggest highlights are the second and third volumes, the Emperor's female body and the Emperor's hatred of tentacles. I guess even Zhongli himself has had these experiences. I originally wanted to use this book to tease Zhongli, and asked if he had transformed into a female body or was still Arthur in the image of an older sister. But when I thought about his death, I didn't feel like doing that anymore.
"I don't know who the author of this book is. I didn't expect that the description fits Zhongli's image so well. Could it be that immortal wrote it?"
"I just don't know why, when this novel describes the emperor's various habits in such detail, why no one has ever doubted Zhongli's actions that can be said to be a perfect replica."
I was in a good mood, but it was drained by Mora and I felt depressed for a while. I wanted to use this book to make Zhongli laugh, but because I thought of the end of the past, my mood became worse.
Not in the mood to shop any longer, Arthur turned around and went home. After making a quick meal, he went to bed early.
"Morning, Arthur."
Because he went to bed early, when Arthur woke up the next day, he saw Keqing who was about to go out and greeted him.
"I didn't expect Ningguang to arrange for you to stay here. How was your rest last night?"
"Fortunately."
Unexpectedly, Keqing did not leave immediately. It seemed that she was waiting for him. Arthur did not know what to do for a moment. He even wondered if he had made an agreement with Keqing but forgot it. However, Arthur still believed in his memory and would not forget the agreement.
"Arthur, thank you for dealing with the hillbillies around Wangshu Inn yesterday."
"You're welcome. It's just my mission."
"Arthur, do you have time today? Can you accompany me to deal with the monsters around? Of course, I will pay you enough."
After listening to Ningguang's explanation and her parents' misunderstanding, Keqing also went to collect information about Arthur, and thus learned about what happened yesterday when Arthur dealt with the hill people around Wangshu Inn.
Although the Rockhelm King is also a Hilichurl, in fact, because of its shield and tall body, ordinary people can't defeat it, and they are lucky to escape without getting hurt. Arthur was able to defeat them without knowing it, which proves that Arthur's strength in the information is definitely not exaggerated.
Even the photos obtained from the Adventurer's Association, the scenes captured by the person in charge with a camera, the two pieces of high-temperature melted ground, the disappearing hillbillies, and even Arthur's strength was far stronger than reflected in the information.
Because of the shortage of manpower and the fact that most people could not keep up with Keqing's high-intensity combat, Keqing planned to wait for Arthur to go out together after getting up this morning. She was even prepared to wait in front of Arthur's door until noon. However, she did not expect that the two of them opened the door at the same time.
"Let's fight the monster together?..."
While Arthur was still thinking about it, the system's voice rang out, and therefore, Arthur agreed to Keqing's invitation.
"Okay, I agree."
Keqing happily took Arthur away with her. They first went to the roadside to have breakfast before setting off to start today's work.
[System prompt: The host is detected as one of the seven gods, and does not have Mora. In response to Keqing's invitation, the following tasks are issued. Agree to Keqing's request, and the reward skill is: Four gods cannot gather a Mora. Reject Keqing's request, reward: 1 Mora. ]
Of course I chose to agree.
Only after leaving Liyue Harbor with Keqing did the system announce that the mission was completed.
[Task completed: Agree to Keqing's request. Rewards have been issued.]
[Four gods cannot make up a Mora: When you do not have Mora, every time you want to pay, a wild wallet will help you pay. Every time you let someone pay for you, you will get a chance to summon a follower. (Up to 3 times per day)]
I always feel that the first half of the skill is alluding to someone in Liyue, but the latter part is the key point. I didn't expect that it can be summoned, and you can summon it once by asking someone to pay for it, and your own artillery shells will be sufficient at once.
Although three times a day is not a large number, but with accumulation over time one day you can replicate the famous scene when the Queen arrives.
Suddenly I wanted to thank Keqing, but I couldn't just rush over to hug her, and then stroke her cat head. I was afraid that I would either be hunted down or put in jail.
Then the news on the second day was: Fengshen was arrested for molesting the Seven Stars of Liyue. Please take this as a warning and don’t do anything illegal or disorderly. Everyone is equal before the law.
In that case, just work hard and let Keqing go back and rest early.
Looking at Arthur who was suddenly excited beside her, Keqing tilted her head in confusion, but as long as it didn't affect her work, it would be fine. If it could improve her work efficiency, it would be even better.
"First, we heard reports that there are signs of hill people and other monsters on the official road. The first task today is to clear out any monsters that may exist around the official road."
Suddenly Arthur understood why the work in Liyue could not be finished every day. There were so many official roads and so much area around them. It would take almost half of Liyue to be cleaned up. Add to that the constant appearance of hillbillies and monsters, and it would be impossible to complete the work.
Open a bounty (trial for one week)
As the title says, I have saved some manuscripts these days, and I plan to work hard to add more, so I offered a reward.
Looking at the bounty rules of those big guys, I feel that offering hundreds of dollars at every turn is not suitable for me. After all, the total amount of monthly tickets and blades for this book is less than a hundred.
Therefore, the conditions for adding more chapters are very simple. The deadline is one week. After each week, the author will count the number of monthly tickets and blades in the background and add more chapters based on the number.
Monthly ticket: if the number of votes is ≥10, one more update will be added; if the number of votes is ≥50, two more updates will be added; if the number of votes is ≥100, three more updates will be added.
The same goes for blades.
However, due to limited energy, the number of additional chapters can only be set at six.
When one of the votes gets more than 200 in a week (although it feels like there is no chance), no matter what the number of votes for the other one is, six more chapters will be added the next week.
I originally wanted to update five times a week, but I was afraid of being called a five-update loli, so I changed it to six.
The reward will be tried out for a week. After all, the number of tickets is set very low. Let's see how it works first.
Chapter 67: The Beef Offal Chef is Attacked
"The sword is as bright as mine, I can cut off all the weeds."
"Take a break."
Along the way, the two of them cleared out countless Hilichurls and slimes, all of which were small monsters with average combat power. Not to mention the ruins guards and Hilichurl thugs, they didn't even encounter a Swindler.
Although both of them ended the battle with one strike, they only cleared the official roads near Liyue Harbor. Normally, even if the Hilichurls were active, they shouldn't appear so frequently.
"For some reason, large numbers of Hilichurls have appeared recently. Even the Hilichurl Rockhelm King and the Hilichurl Thugs have appeared in places where there were no Hilichurls. The Thousand Winds Army is responsible for daily cleanups near Liyue Harbor, so there are only so few of them. There weren't so many before."
"But there seems to be a report saying that many hillbillies appeared from the stone gate. It's almost time for the ceremony to invite the immortals, so don't let anything go wrong."
Emmmm, Stone Gate? Arthur opened the system map and saw that it was here. There was a big hill on the top, and he placed an anchor there every day. But in fact, this is a major traffic route between Mondstadt and Liyue. There are many factors around that may affect the appearance of the hill people.
But it would not cause a large-scale migration. If something happened because of the Salt in the Underground or Wuwang Slope, Zhongli would have solved it long ago. The only possibility is that they came from Mondstadt.
It can't be that I caused the butterfly effect, it must be the abyss!
Dadaupa Valley: Guess why those hill people went there.
Fortunately, it was only the migration of some of the Hilichurls that increased the total number of Hilichurls in Liyue. All the single Hilichurls were forced to migrate, which led to the frequent appearance of Hilichurls around the official roads. The powerful ones, such as the Hilichurl Thugs and the Hilichurl Rockhelm King, would set up camps, just like those next to Wangshu Inn.
"Go!"
Arthur was also taking a break and saw Keqing's unique skill of electrocuting fish. He took off his hair bun, attached lightning elements to it, and then inserted it into the water to electrocute fish.
A few unlucky fish were stunned by the electric shock and floated to the surface.
Seeing that Keqing was about to use her hair as a skewer to grill fish, Arthur hurriedly stopped Keqing, although Keqing herself didn't mind and was even very proud of it, thinking that her hair with a frosted look was very charming.
But it was still hard to accept. Fortunately, Arthur's warehouse had everything except Mora, including bamboo sticks. He took out a knife, hollowed out the fish's internal organs, and then changed the knife to cut a few stripes on the fish to allow it to absorb flavor and prevent it from cracking during baking.
Since Arthur accepted the task of cooking, Keqing went to collect firewood and make a fire.
After Keqing collected all the firewood, she used a thinner stick to draw a circle next to the woodpile, removed the surrounding weeds and leaves, turned over a piece of soil, and then added thunder element to the stick. Under the effect of thunder element, the stick began to burn, and then was thrown into the fire. The fire needed for grilling fish was ready.
There is no need for a grill or anything. Just put the processed fish into the soil around it and insert the bamboo sticks. Then all you have to do is wait for the fish to be grilled.
As the aroma appeared, Arthur took out two small bottles and put them aside. After using a knife to make sure the fish was cooked, the two began today's lunch.
The two small bottles naturally contain salt and chili powder, or it should be called Jueyun chili powder. After sprinkling the salt and chili on the grilled fish, a portion of tiger-eater grilled fish is officially ready.
Keqing ate the grilled fish in her hand with small bites and showed a happy smile. Even though Keqing regarded work as her life, she could not resist the temptation of delicious food.
After the short lunch break, Keqing took Arthur to clear out possible dangers around the official road.
The two of them continued to clear until all the hillbillies near Liyue Harbor were cleared out, and then they stopped their plan to move forward.
"Let's go back. Let's take the small road. Although most people will take the official road, some locals will still take the small road for the sake of convenience and efficiency."
The journey was smooth until we met two people who walked out of the path and came to the valley that connected to the official road.
