I, Jingliu, the Fatui Executor - Chapter 60
The two of them were very close, and the two of them were very close.
Looking at a familiar figure not far away, Jingliu pulled Columbia over.
“Oh? Who are you?”
“I think you should know us.”
“We have never met, so how can we know each other?”
“Really?” Jingliu was not surprised by this, and continued: “But I know you, Rock God Morax.”
The man’s face did not change, but he said lightly: “Rock God Morax? The god of Liyue, one of the seven rulers of the world, I have heard of him. But my name is Zhongli, just an “ordinary person”, how can I be related to the Rock God?”
Hearing this, Jingliu was a little speechless. You all like to do this, right? What does Barbatos have to do with me, Venti? What does Morax have to do with me, Zhongli?
“I see, Mr. Zhongli, nice to meet you. My name is Jingliu, and this is Columbia.” Jingliu introduced very perfunctorily.
“Oh?” Hearing Jingliu’s name, Zhongli was obviously a little surprised: “Jingliu… What a good name. Are you from Liyue?”
Jingliu shook his head. Although Xianzhou is quite similar to Liyue, there are still many differences. For example, most of the people in Xianzhou are immortals…
“Immortals…” Jingliu silently recited a word in his heart.
“The immortality pursued by the people of Xianzhou is only a few hundred years, and in the end they have to bear the price of the demon body…” Jingliu looked at Zhongli and smiled bitterly: “On the contrary, these demon gods can live for thousands of years casually, and in the end they just suffer a negligible wear and tear…”
“The immortality pursued by Xianzhou is just a joke in front of these demon gods, right?”
“Miss Jingliu, is there something wrong?” Zhongli saw Jingliu staring at him, and said with some doubts.
“Jingliu…” Feeling that Jingliu’s mood seemed a little wrong, Columbia slightly tightened Jingliu’s hand.
“Hmm? Nothing, just thinking about something.” Jingliu came back to his senses and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
Zhongli nodded and said, “It is fate that we meet today. Why don’t I treat you two to a meal?”
Hearing Zhongli’s words, Jingliu was stunned and looked at him with strange eyes: “You pay?”
“Miss Jingliu, what are you talking about? Since it is Zhong who is treating, then it is naturally Zhong who pays.”
Hearing this, Jingliu’s eyes became even stranger: “Then… do you have Mora?”
“Mora?” Zhongli patted the purse tied to his side and said, “I am not talented, but I am a guest official in the Wangsheng Hall, and my income is still considerable.”
“Is… is that so?” Jingliu looked at the purse on Zhongli’s waist and suspected that there was no Mora in it, but seeing Zhongli’s confident eyes, he didn’t say it.
“Let’s go.”
“Jingliu? What’s the problem?” Columbia looked at Jingliu’s strange behavior and asked in confusion.
“We may pay for it later.”
“Ah? Why?”
…
“There are two famous restaurants in Liyue, one is Xinyuexuan, and the other is Wanmintangtang. If Xinyuexuan represents high-end elegance, then Wanmintang represents the taste of all people, using the most popular ingredients, the most universal taste, and the most exquisite craftsmanship to make the most delicious dishes.” Zhongli introduced them.
“So this is Wanmintang?” Jingliu asked, looking at the restaurants full of fireworks around him.
Zhongli nodded in response.
“Eh? Mr. Zhongli, are you here to eat at Wanmintang again today?” A girl holding a lot of empty plates saw Zhongli coming, put down all the plates in her hands, and ran over to entertain him.
“Well, I brought two friends I just met here to eat.”
“Eh? Mr. Zhongli’s friend must be some peerless master!” The girl hurriedly looked behind Zhongli.
“Hello! My name is Xiangling, the chef of Wanmin Hall.” Xiangling introduced them enthusiastically.
“Hello, my name is Jingliu, and this is Columbia.” Jingliu also waved his hand in response.
Columbia also smiled in response.
“You two are so beautiful.” Xiangling couldn’t help but sighed when she looked at Jingliu and Columbia.
“Are there so many people today?” Zhongli asked, looking at the almost full crowd around him.
“Yes, isn’t this the Immortal Invitation Ceremony coming soon? Many foreign tourists came to Liyue to witness the Emperor’s style. So Wanmin Hall naturally became busy, although there is no day when Wanmin Hall is not busy.” Xiangling sighed and said.
“By the way, I just cleaned up a table, you can go there to eat
“Okay.” Xiangling pointed to an empty table and said.
“Okay.”
…
“Here, this is the menu.” Xiangling handed a small book to Zhongli.
“Please, both of you.” Zhongli pushed the book to Jingliu and the others.
“This… this… and this…” Jingliu took the menu and ordered a few dishes at random.
“Okay, there are a lot of people today, so the serving speed may be a little slow, please forgive me.” Xiangling said with a hint of apology.
“Nothing.”
“Okay, thank you for your tolerance.” After saying that, Xiangling hurried away to entertain the next guest.
After taking Xiangling away, Zhongli took a sip of tea and slowly said, “I wonder why you two came to Liyue?”
“I have heard that Liyue has a superior terrain and beautiful environment, so I came here to travel before and after the Immortal Invitation Ceremony.”
“Travel? Hmm…” Zhongli lowered his head and thought: “If we talk about the beautiful scenery of Liyue, it must be the mountains of Jueyunjian and the water of Luhuachi. Mountains and water are the two most beautiful things in Liyue.”
“I see. I have heard about the mountains and water of Liyue for a long time. I will definitely go to see them when I come to Liyue this time.”
Zhongli took a sip of tea and asked: “I wonder what you two think of Liyue’s immortal invitation ceremony? Or, what do you think of this place where you walk with the gods?”
“Walking with the gods?” Jingliu couldn’t help but chuckled when he heard it.
“It’s said to walk with the gods, but in my opinion, it’s just following the footsteps of the Rock King Emperor.”
“Oh? What do you mean?” Zhongli didn’t get angry, but asked Jingliu.
“The Rock King Emperor personally came to Liyue for the immortal invitation ceremony every year and issued a year’s instructions to Liyue. Don’t you think this is very sad? ”
“If Liyue always relies on the orders issued by the Geo King and has no opinions of its own, it will never make progress and can only follow the Geo King forever.”
“Unlike Liyue’s neighbor Mondstadt, even if Barbatos disappeared for hundreds of years, Mondstadt can still move forward.”
“What about Liyue? If one day, the Geo King disappeared and lost the orders of the Geo King, can Liyue continue to move forward?”
“What should it do?”
…
(ps: When I was catching up on the plot today, I found that the previous Summoning Immortal Ceremony was written as Summoning Immortal Ceremony. It has been changed, and I don’t know if it was missed.)
