Zhongli: Yes, it is the Fatui. (Drinking tea)
Arthur also thought about using the power of the horn to see if he could shatter the ice statue, even if it would only get rid of the seriously injured Ba Che.
But after being persuaded by everyone, Arthur gave up. After all, no one knew whether the broken ice would take away the life of the demon or break the seal.
Everyone had no choice but to return to the Qun Yu Pavilion to continue discussing ways to resolve the problem.
Under Ningguang's instruction, the Thousand Rocks Army, which had lost the influence of the Demon God's pressure and resumed its actions, began to announce their great achievements in defeating the Demon God in the city. Following Ningguang's description, the Liyue Seven Stars and the Immortals, with the help of the two adventurers, once again prevented the Demon God's invasion.
This is Liyue’s victory.
Originally, Ningguang planned to use this opportunity to publicize Arthur and Ying, but was rejected by Arthur. The lady already knew her identity, and Mond's Jean also knew it. If it was publicized, she might be regarded as the God of Wind with other intentions. At Arthur's suggestion, Ningguang just said that it was the help of the two adventurers, without revealing their identities.
Ying didn't care. After all, Ningguang had promised a big gift before Arthur came. How could fame be of any use to money?
Kong: You said you would look for me? You didn't even post a missing person notice when you came to Liyue. You just asked for money, didn't you? You're not pretending anymore...
Thanks to the efficient actions of the Qianyan Army, everyone happily built snowmen on the road, and some even took out their cameras and took a photo with the ice statue of the demon sitting on the sea.
However, the port has been ordered to be blocked, and no one is allowed to go out to sea until the problem of the ice statue of the demon is solved. Otherwise, some people would probably row boats to have a close look.
Everyone came to the Jade Pavilion. In addition to Ningguang, Keqing and the immortals, Arthur and Hu Tao, one as the MVP and God of Wind of this event, was also invited to the Jade Pavilion, and the other as the master of the Wangsheng Hall, was also invited to the Jade Pavilion.
Ying was also invited by Ningguang. Although as a traveler, Ying was not suitable to participate in such parliamentary topics, there was still a celebration party. However, Ying wanted to confirm her guess, so she declined Ningguang's invitation.
Ningguang did not insist that Ying stay. After telling Ying that she could come to the Qun Yu Pavilion to ask for her reward at any time in the future, she led everyone back to the Qun Yu Pavilion.
A dinner party began, which was both a celebration party and a meeting to discuss follow-up issues.
As a chef, he was unable to resist the pressure of the Demon God. When Ningguang activated the Jade Pavilion, all the members were dismissed. As a result, Ningguang was so happy after the victory of the war that she took everyone back to the Jade Pavilion. When they were about to eat, she remembered that the chef was not in the Jade Pavilion at all.
"The chef is not here, so I will cook today."
Ningguang didn't worry about it, as the chef was not there. Besides Keqing, who was also a Seven Star, there were also many fairies present, not to mention Arthur, the God of Wind. Even Hu Tao was the master of the Wangsheng Hall with a long history.
Cooking for myself was a way of showing off my passion, and as one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, I was one of the few people who had the chance to eat the food I cooked.
"Let me help too."
"I am coming too."
Arthur and Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun did not watch Ningguang cook alone. After all, they did not know how long it would take, and they were not sure of Ningguang's skill level. What if she made some dark dishes?
The two cooking masters entered the back kitchen. The kitchen was very big. Not to mention three people, even if there were twice as many people, it would not be crowded. Moreover, all kinds of ingredients were very complete. Although the previous battle had caused turmoil in the Qun Yu Pavilion, due to the strict packaging, there was no damage and mess around except for some mess.
"Back then, only the Emperor and my friends had eaten the meals I cooked, and they all praised my cooking. Today, let me show you my cooking skills."
After saying this, Master Liuyun Jiefeng went to select the ingredients, ready to show off his cooking skills to the two of them.
"My cooking has impressed many people. The acting leader of the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt and Xiangling of the Liyue People's Hall have praised my cooking highly. Even Keqing, the Jade Star of the Seven Stars of Liyue, is obsessed with my cooking."
Although Arthur has a lot of ingredients in his own warehouse, the ingredients here in Qun Yu Pavilion are very precious at first glance. Even ordinary vegetables look much better than those in the market outside. They are worthy of Ningguang's work.
"Don't underestimate me. There's nothing in Liyue that I don't know."
Ningguang's selection of ingredients was much simpler. She just picked some old chickens and pork bones, then some cabbage, taking only the hearts, and some animal meat and flour.
After the last few people finished, they each came to the table with the dishes they had prepared.
First came the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, who used his magical powers to place the prepared Pearl Jade White Jade Soup, Mora Meat and Matsutake Stuffed Meat Rolls on the table.
Next was Ningguang, who placed the boiled cabbage she had prepared on the table. She had originally wanted to make her specialty, Qiankun Mora Meat, but when she discovered that Master Liuyun Jiefeng had already made it, she made some dumplings instead.
Arthur finally brought the dishes to the table, one serving of golden shrimp balls, one serving of Fengnian Youyu and one serving of butter crab.
When Arthur served the dishes, he intentionally placed the golden shrimp balls next to Keqing. After all, Keqing's favorite food was the golden shrimp balls.
Thinking of what Arthur had said in the kitchen just now, and seeing the golden shrimp balls placed in front of Keqing, Ningguang gave Keqing a meaningful smile.
Keqing felt frightened by Ningguang's gaze. If there hadn't been an immortal present, she would have asked Ningguang why she was looking at her like that.
After looking at Keqing for a while, Ningguang secretly felt that the move she made when Arthur came was so correct. Although she didn't know whether Arthur showed up this time because of Keqing, seeing the relationship between Arthur and Keqing, plus the bond Arthur had established in Liyue, she felt that the game was set up with just a house. This deal could be regarded as the most correct transaction since she started her business.
This time, Ningguang gave the main seat to Arthur. A group of immortals sat on the left, and Ningguang sat in the first seat on the right.
Other countries have the custom of respecting the right, but Liyue has always respected the left. It asked the immortals to sit on the left to show its respect, and at the same time let the main figure of this event, who was also the only god present, sit in the main seat.
It also highlights Liyue's dining culture.
Chapter 103 Discussing the Seal
No one had any opinion about the seats, except Walnut, who sat at the end of the right side, a bit away from Arthur. She was a little impatient, but knowing the identities of everyone present, she had to suppress her desire to move.
"I don't have anything good, so I'll just take out my collection of wine to celebrate."
Grandma Ping took out two jars of wine that looked very old. She first poured them for Arthur who was sitting on the main seat, and then distributed them to Ningguang, Keqing and Hutao who were sitting on Arthur's right.
Then they were distributed among the immortals.
Because of the actions of Ningguang and Grandma Ping, and their previous side-by-side battle against the demon war, the dispute between humans and immortals caused by the death of the Emperor came to an end.
With the cooperation of Ningguang, the representative of humans, and Grandma Ping, the representative of the immortals, everyone started the celebration banquet. Everyone chose to temporarily forget about the demon god who was still on the sea and the Ruota Dragon King who was about to be unsealed, and immersed themselves in the joy of the banquet.
After everyone started eating, they began to praise the cooking skills of several people, and then drank the fine wine that Grandma Ping brought out. It was not spicy at all, but very smooth in the mouth. If Arthur had to find a wine of the same grade, it would only be the bottle of wine that Master Lu brought out at the beginning.
Although everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the celebration banquet, they were not intoxicated by the wine in their glasses. Liyue did not have the kind of drinking culture of crazy toasting. After the first clink of glasses, everyone happily chatted, ate, and took a sip of wine from time to time.
After eating and drinking, Ningguang wanted to clean up the table herself because the people who stayed in the Qun Yu Pavilion had left, but Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng waved his wings and everything disappeared, leaving only a clean table.
"Then let's get down to business."
Ningguang still stood up, brought some fruits and tea and placed them on the table.
Arthur asked, "Do you want drinks or desserts?"
After confirming everyone's choices, he used his cooking skills to prepare the after-meal meals that everyone had requested, and asked Feng to place them in front of everyone.
"The biggest problem right now is the seal on the Fulong Tree."
As an immortal who has been living in Hulao Mountain, Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun immediately expressed his own opinions.
"The one sealed over there is the Dragon King Ruota, who was a comrade who fought side by side with the Emperor. He was sealed by the Emperor because of wear and tear. If that person really unsealed it, and if he still has some rationality like before, we can find a way to make him voluntarily be sealed, just like before. If the Dragon King Ruota has completely lost his mind and is only filled with anger towards Liyue, even if the Emperor is still alive, it will be difficult to ensure that everything is safe."
As a creature created by elemental crystals, the Dragon King Rota carries the power and memories of the earth and lives as long as the mountains and seas. During the Demon God War, Morax discovered Rota and opened his eyes. Rota therefore signed a contract with Morax and followed him to conquer the four directions. However, due to Liyue's mining of the rock layer, the earth veins were destroyed. In addition, Rota lost his mind due to the power of wear and tear and attacked the Layered Rock Abyss, violating the contract. He was suppressed by Morax under the Fulong Tree. Moreover, when he was partially rational, he still had friendship with Morax, Liyue and even the life on the earth, so he voluntarily allowed himself to be sealed.
However, for thousands of years, the Dragon King Rhodo has used the Fulong Tree to absorb the power of the earth veins, and now because of the young master, the seal has loosened. If the seal is really broken, the consequences will be disastrous. After all, this is different from the Whirlpool Demon God Osel, who only has one follower left, Ba Che.
The followers of King Ryota still exist in Liyue, but they are afraid of the immortals and Morax, so they have never appeared at will.
When the Dragon King Rhoda is born, his followers, the Rock Dragon Lizards will fight together with him. There will be Rock Dragon Lizards of all sizes in various places in Liyue. By then, the threat to Liyue will not be as easily resolved as it is now.
What’s more, there is another ancient rock dragon lizard in Tianqiu Valley, and it is not known whether there is only one ancient rock dragon lizard in Tianqiu Valley in Liyue.
"The seal on King Ruotu should be able to hold for a while. Let's think of a way to strengthen the seal."
"Then I will also send the Qianyan Army to block the surrounding area recently, and at the same time be vigilant about Tianqiu Valley and other places where rock dragon lizards exist."
The existence of King Ruota is indeed more of a headache for everyone. After all, it is very dangerous to encounter a rock dragon lizard in the wild. If the rock dragon lizard that has been hiding all the time and the ancient rock dragon lizard show up together, Liyue simply does not have enough strength to deal with them. After all, it is impossible to disperse all the manpower to deal with the rock dragon lizards and leave King Ruota alone.
"It can only be the."
A few people could only sigh. Fortunately, the situation has not reached an irreversible state yet and there is still a glimmer of hope.
"The next step is to deal with the 'Demon of the Whirlpool' Osel and his follower, the 'Remnant of the Whirlpool' Bache."
"First of all, because we can't be sure whether the demon will die or be unsealed after the ice breaks, so if there are other ways, we won't consider breaking the ice."
"It seems that there is a method in my book to press the demon gods into the sea. If we cooperate with the Jade Pavilion, it is possible to successfully seal them. But I don't know what the situation is below the demon gods. If they are also sealed, it won't work."
After hearing what Master Xueyue Zhuyang said, Keqing replied, "I will send some of the holders of the Eye of God to check below the Demon God."
"If it is really empty, I am willing to use the Qun Yu Pavilion to seal it. I would like to ask Master Xue Yue Zhu Yang to look for relevant methods."
Ningguang didn't mind using the Jade Pavilion to seal the demon. After all, although it was her dream to let the Jade Pavilion cover the seven kingdoms, Liyue was her home and the place she had devoted herself to. In Ningguang's words, "It's just a Jade Pavilion. I can still blow up one or two more."
"I'll also ask Miss Ningguang to help. We will remember your efforts."
"Let's consider this plan as a backup plan and think about other methods. After all, we are still not sure what the situation will be like next."
"I do have an idea. I can make a magic weapon for storing things. The cave of the magic weapon is like a small world. If I prepare it well, it should be able to hold a demon god. But I have to find a way to separate them. If I put them together, even if I can put them in, I'm afraid there won't be enough materials to hold them."
Grandma Ping also proposed her own plan, but no one proposed other methods after that. After all, since it is impossible to destroy the ice layer and it is impossible to move at will, many methods are in conflict.
When everyone was at a loss, Arthur suddenly remembered something.
Chapter 104 The mission is not yet completed
Arthur wondered how he had been led astray. Although everyone thought that Geo King had passed away, he knew that he was in Liyue under the alias Zhongli. Wouldn't it be better to just let him figure out a solution? Why did he have to think so much about it?
"Arthur, do you have any ideas?"
But at this time, Keqing brought the topic to Arthur.
Arthur hadn't reacted yet, but everyone's eyes were on him. After all, they had no way out. From the perspective of humans and immortals, they had no way out. As the instigator of everything and one of the seven gods, Arthur might have some way out.
Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Arthur thought to himself: "Do I have to tell you that I'm going to ask the Rock God himself for help, and then tell you that Morax is not dead, it was all a lie, just for fun."
Just think about it. If I really said it, everyone present might suddenly relax and be very happy. However, Zhongli, whose plan was ruined, would probably transform into his original form and have a battle between gods with me.
Let yourself experience firsthand what a martial god is.
Although I don’t know whether I will win or lose, there is no need to do so. Why bother making trouble?
But looking at everyone's eyes, it seems that if he doesn't think of a solution today, it will be useless.
"It's not that there is no way, but it may not succeed."
Although Kevin is very powerful, everyone has his own expertise. When it comes to sealing, it is obvious that the ninth Herrscher, the Rock Herrscher, is more suitable. Of course, I am not talking about the shameful Star Herrscher Chen Tianwu, but the Star Herrscher who swallowed up Mu Continent in the previous civilization.
Or the power of being the Ruler of Reason would be fine, but the prerequisite is that she can't be the pressed duck with a mouthful of milk flavor. After all, she can't use the power of the Key of God (fake).
The power of others can also solve the problem, but as Ningguang said, I don’t know whether the lifting of the ice will kill the demon or unseal it. If it is unsealed, then it will be another battle. Even if I can hold on for more than ten minutes now, it is difficult for me to go full throttle without restriction due to the lack of Honkai energy.
"any solution?"
Hearing that Arthur had a solution, everyone immediately listened attentively to what Arthur said, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.
"I have a temporary burst of strength, but maybe only one-thirteenth of it..."
Thinking that his awakened power seemed to be not only related to the Herrscher, Arthur suddenly changed his mind.
"No, it should be a few tenths or one percent chance of encountering a suitable force. Other forces are also enough to fight against the demons and suppress them, but they may not be able to seal them."
Hearing that the probability was so low, everyone gave up.
"Then let's send someone to check out the situation under the sea first. If there's nothing else, ask Master Xueyue Zhuyang to look up in the book how to suppress the demon god under the sea. Grandma Ping, I'll also ask you to make a magic weapon to store the demon god. I'll send someone to deliver the necessary materials."
Then he paused, "If all else fails, then I'll leave it to you, Arthur. Even if I can't seal it, I can still evacuate the people of Liyue in advance, and then I can fight with peace of mind. With enough preparation time, I can guarantee that nothing will go wrong."
"If you come up with any solution, please let me know and I will send someone to pass the message to others."
The meeting ended with this.
The fairies used their own means to leave the Jade Pavilion directly, while Ningguang and Keqing still had follow-up matters to deal with. Although the crisis was temporarily resolved, as mentioned in the meeting, whether it was the Ryota Dragon King under the Fulong Tree, or the now frozen Osel and Baqi, Keqing and Ningguang would be responsible for arranging people to deal with them.
Hu Tao was arranged to be sent down from the Qun Yu Pavilion. Because Arthur still had things to deal with, Hu Tao returned to the Wangsheng Hall alone.
"Bye, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
After separating from Hu Tao, he looked at the Jade Pavilion located in the air, and the ice sculpture of the demon god in the distance, which was left with only shadows as the sun set. He thought it was time for him to go look for Zhongli.
"But system, you're down again?"
Obviously the battle with Osel has ended, but the system has not responded yet. Speaking of which, is it that the system's presence is a bit low recently? Are all systems broken these days?
[It was detected that the mission was not completed. Liyue is still under the shadow of the demon god. 】
"Is your shadow serious?"
Looking at the moonlight, looking towards the direction of Liyue Port, although it is still blocked, but with the help of the moonlight, you can still see the shadow of the demon god falling on the sea.
"Forget it, let's go find Mr. Zhong next. He has more experience."
Then Arthur came to the Northland Bank very calmly. Because of the Fatui, the Northland Bank was now surrounded by Ningguang's spies. Every person entering and leaving was recorded. Some people with good identities were followed after they left.
But he didn't need to go in through the main gate. He knew the location of the small door that Tartaglia took him through before. This was the back door left for him by the Fatui. Those who left through the main gate were basically unimportant people, like the Young Master and the Madam. As executives, they would be watched closely even if they showed up now. Now he could trade the Heart of God with Zhongli at the Northland Bank, which was completely because he went through the back door.
Entering the Northland Bank, it seems that the transaction of the Heart of God has been completed, because now only Zhongli and Gongzi are still drinking together. "You guys have deceived me so hard."
As soon as I came in, I heard Tartaglia complaining to Zhongli. Zhongli did not choose to comfort Tartaglia, but just held the cup in his hand and quietly looked at Tartaglia sitting opposite him.
"Yes, you guys made me suffer so much."
