"Mm, I trust you." Morax glanced over the five Yaksha and nodded.
"Brother, I've got work to attend to. We'll catch up later."
"You mean the compensation for the fallen heroes?" Elliot asked.
"Yes."
"How exactly will you handle it?"
"I remember their names. I plan to review their family circumstances first, then arrange fair compensation. And those warriors who survived—after all they've endured these past six months—they deserve rewards too."
Hearing that, Elliot nodded thoughtfully before saying, "Personally overseeing the tally wouldn't be ideal—it'll just turn messy. Hand me the roster; I'll handle it. You should take a break."
"Brother, I…"
"I've been idle here in Liyue for half a year already. It's time I did something. Once I finish compiling everything, I'll let you know. For now, head to Guili Plains and visit Guizhong and the others."
Morax lowered his head, falling silent in thought. After a moment, he nodded, accepting Elliot's proposal.
Not long after, Morax handed Elliot the list and left with the Adepti for Guili Plains.
Once Elliot received the roster, he assigned the task to the five Yaksha. Their job was to gather information and assess the general situation in Liyue.
Of course, during the half year of Morax's absence, the five Yaksha had already been seen frequently around Liyue. They had told the people that they too were Adepti—followers of the Geo Emperor. Because of this, the people of Liyue had come to recognize and trust them.
However, the Millelith didn't know about this. When they first saw the Yaksha appear, they mistook them for invaders and almost raised their weapons to attack. Fortunately, the misunderstanding was quickly resolved.
Over time, the five Yaksha collected all the necessary information and handed their reports to Morax. They also discovered that some families were in special circumstances and brought these details to his attention.
Seeing how reliable the Yaksha were, Morax decided to have them assist him further. But with the sheer volume of information—over a thousand families—Ganyu also joined in to share the workload.
During this period, Morax gradually became closer to the five Yaksha. Witnessing his compassion and devotion to his people, they finally understood the kindness and humanity of this God of War.
They were deeply grateful for the choice they had made. Whether it was the Geo Emperor or the Dark Night Sovereign, both were benevolent, kind, and powerful gods.
Morax, seeing how efficiently the Yaksha handled their work, felt confident leaving more responsibilities in their hands.
As for Elliot, he devoted himself to teaching the Adepti more advanced mechanical arts, leading them in research and innovation. Meanwhile, Morax worked with the five Yaksha and Ganyu to manage Liyue's affairs, and the Millelith maintained order throughout the land.
"This way," Elliot thought, "the five Yaksha won't just serve as warriors—they'll also handle administrative work, so Ganyu won't be crushed under the weight of endless duties.
As for combat, the Yaksha won't have to shoulder it all alone—the Adepti's mechanical arts will lend great support.
Once the Liyue Qixing are established, Ganyu and the Yaksha can share the administrative burdens, while the Adepti assist in military matters.
If Ganyu works alongside the Yaksha, she won't feel so lonely or alienated from humans anymore.
As for Azhdaha… hmm… there shouldn't be any problems. I'll reinforce The Chasm myself when the time comes.
Anything else that needs adjustment… let me think… think some more…"
