"Sir, it's just a few bowls of tea, it's nothing."
When Uncle Zhou heard Zhongli ask Bai Luo to pay for his tea, and that it started from his grandfather's generation, he already realized that this person's true identity was definitely extraordinary.
It's not that he would go so far as to guess that it was the Geo Emperor. At most, he would think that it was an immortal from a certain mountain.
For him, the tea that could make immortals come down the mountain smell the fragrance was already a great reward. He would never dare to ask for money or anything like that.
"Don't worry, Childe can still afford this amount of money."
Bai Luo spoke in a particularly heroic manner, and his lavish demeanor was very appealing. Even his words made people feel a little...
Bai Luo even said, "If you have the guts, fight me."
"How do you want to fight? A fight to the death? Or just a normal spar?"
Zhongli's tone was very flat. When he said the three words "a matter of life and death", it was as if he was talking about what to eat for lunch today, giving people a chill down their spine.
"good!"
After drinking the big bowl of tea in front of him, a whole row of +1 appeared above his head, and Bai Luo said in a domineering manner.
"When it comes to sparring, of course we should stop at a certain point. But considering that I'm your junior, can you please let me have some time?"
When he shouted "OK", everyone thought he was going to agree to the so-called life-and-death duel. Zhongli was even considering whether to hold back in the duel.
But his next sentence was so cowardly.
Using the most domineering tone and saying the most cowardly words, this should be what you mean, right?
"How about I give you three moves?"
For thousands of years, most people in Liyue have followed the rules, but in modern times, a group of more special descendants have appeared.
For example, Yuheng in the Liyue Qixing, who often talks about the word "change", is like a sharp blade of the new era and has caused dissatisfaction among many old antiques.
The same goes for Tianquan. Even though she is a little more reserved than Yuheng, the Jade Chamber that floats above Liyue all year round has already shown that her ambition and vision are extraordinary.
Especially the formation in the Jade Chamber, which is said to be the formation that makes the Jade Chamber float. In fact, he knows it better than anyone else. At some critical moments, its attack can even be comparable to that of a demon.
As times change, young talents emerge in the new era. Even Snezhnaya has talents like Tartaglia and Bai Luo. I believe they will have a place on the stage of the continent of Teyvat, right?
If given the chance, everyone would want to compete for the position of chess player. After all... not everyone wants to be a chess piece.
Looking up at the Sky Island in the sky, Zhongli had a thoughtful expression on his face.
He remembered the contract that the Fatui's Harbinger Rooster had brought with him, which was drafted by Tsarista herself with him.
From the perspective of universal reason, this contract is not fair at all, and the price he paid is not equal to what the queen paid.
But...if you look at it from another angle, a small Gnosis can be exchanged for what she has paid, which doesn't seem to be a loss.
Let's wait a little longer...If Tianquan and Yuheng can truly control people's hearts and win the right to rule by man from him, then he can also consider signing the contract that ends all contracts.
By then, he, who has been busy for a thousand years, may be able to take a real break.
"The contract is done, and the word is binding. Ones who break their contracts shall suffer the Wrath of the Rock."
Bai Luo had no idea that Zhongli had thought of so many things in such a short moment. He only knew that Zhongli would give him three moves, and that was enough.
Three moves may not be a lot for others, but for him... he can do a lot of things, such as a Nine-Headed Dragon Flash.
"Well, I accept your contract."
In the eyes of others, what Zhongli said was a bit arrogant, as if he was Morax himself. In fact... well, he was.
"Shall we go up there?"
After getting Zhongli's recognition, Bai Luo finally felt relieved.
The reason why he dared to challenge Zhongli so boldly, besides the fact that he himself had an affinity for Liyue, the most important thing was the guarantee of the contract with Morax.
As the God of Contracts, Morax values contracts the most and will never violate them, let alone stab him in the back after agreeing to let him leave.
"Wuwang Hill? That's fine too."
If there is any place suitable for fighting, Wuwang Hill is definitely one of them, because there are basically no living people in that place, and there will be no accidental injuries.
Wuwang Hill is a very mysterious place in Liyue, where monsters are rampant, ghosts are everywhere, and terrifying will-o'-the-wisp fires are wandering everywhere. If you get closer, even the sky seems to become much darker.
Judging from the ruins of some buildings, there must have been people living here, but perhaps they couldn't stand the environment here and moved away later.
The most important thing is that ghosts can really be seen nearby, and there are rumors that people from the Hall of the Dead often appear in this area because there is a gate connecting to the underworld here.
In fact, the truth is much simpler than the rumors.
Because the energy of the earth veins here is relatively disordered, some things that ordinary people cannot understand will occur, and those so-called ghosts are also ancient "memories" that appear under the influence of the earth vein energy.
After Bai Luo and Zhongli stood up, the soldiers of the 9th Company also stood up, as if they were planning to go to Wuwang Hill with Bai Luo and the others.
"Katarina, take your people and wait for me here, and help me take care of my slime."
"yes."
Katarina actually wanted to go together, because judging from Bai Luo's attitude, this guy named Zhongli should not be simple.
But their company paid the most attention to discipline, since Bai Luo had given a death order, they could only wait here. All they could do was to cheer for their master.
Under Zhongli's guidance, Bai Luo set foot on the Wuwang Hill, which he had run countless times in the game. It was not because he had any strange hobbies, but simply because there was a secret realm here that he had to clear.
In order to get a suitable witch suit for his Klee, he suffered a lot.
Zhongli was very familiar with Wuwang Hill. No matter whether there was a road or not, he could walk smoothly without even trying to identify the place. It seemed that he could find the place with his eyes closed.
But Bai Luo behind him looked a little absent-minded, as if he was waiting for something, but the thing he was waiting for did not appear.
It was not until the two of them came to an open space with a puddle of water that Zhongli stood still and turned to face Bai Luo.
After he turned around, the gorgeous clothes that were not very suitable for fighting had turned into a combination of the Zhongshan suit and Western suit in Bai Luo's memory.
It's just a fight with an Harbinger, not a war between demons, and it's not necessary for Zhongli to put on his own divine equipment. His current state... is more than enough.
"Three moves, don't regret it."
Looking at Zhongli who had stood still without even taking out his weapon, Bai Luo reminded him again.
"Don't worry, those who break their contracts will be punished by eating rocks. I said it myself, so I won't go against my words."
