Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Beyond the Contract
"Zhongli, the Fatui have done more than this. Here, this is what happened 500 years ago when Inazuma stepped on Tatarasuna. I extracted it from the World Tree. You should be able to tell the truth from the false."
After seeing Zhongli calm down a little, Lin Yudie continued to transmit the message.
Then, she handed over a light green crystal. Zhongli took it and opened it, and began to check the information inside.
"This...they killed so many swordsmiths, just to win over a puppet for their own use?" Zhongli frowned after reading it.
The demon gods all love people. Although these swordsmiths of Inazuma are not his people, Zhongli still feels uncomfortable when he sees this scene.
What happened in front of him once again shook Zhongli's belief. Could it be that the Fatui have always done things like this?
He planned to let the Seven Stars and the Adeptus check carefully to see if the Fatui had done similar things in Liyue.
Although he was there, and the Fatui would not do anything exaggerated in Liyue, but small actions have been continuous.
....
At this time, Zhongli was controlling his rock pillar to fly in the air, while Lin Yudie was holding her sister and playing on the rock pillar.
Looking at the two children playing happily behind him, Zhongli's face was a little helpless. He felt that he had to start taking care of children again, just like Hu Tao.
Nahida was fine, but Lin Yudie was different. When she first met her, she gave Zhongli the impression of being gentle, virtuous, intelligent, well-educated and well-mannered, exactly like her mother.
However, as the two of them gradually opened up and became familiar with each other, the girl's true nature seemed to be exposed.
For example, just now, when he saw that it was getting late, he proposed that they go to Liyue Harbor to stay temporarily, and the two sisters agreed.
However, at this time, Lin Yudie wanted to see his rock pillar, and then there was this scene...
Apart from anything else, this temperament is completely no different from that of Hu Tao, and it is also the type that he is least good at dealing with!
"Let these two children have some fun." Zhongli looked at the two children behind him, thought of everything that happened to them, and sighed slightly.
"By the way, children, have you found a way to save the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata? Do you need my help?" Zhongli asked the two sisters behind him.
He planned to continue the topic that he had not finished just now.
"It has been found. Seven Gnoses are needed to purify the forbidden knowledge in mom." Lin Yudie restrained her smile and spoke slightly.
In the previous life, if mom was just deleted from the World Tree, only one Dendro Gnosis would be enough, just like Nahida in the plot.
However, Lin Yudie did not intend to say this method now.
After saying this, Lin Yudie was also very nervous. She was betting that Zhongli had not signed the Gnosis contract with the Ice Queen yet.
After all, if the Ice Queen had already signed a contract with Zhongli now, it would mean that she would never be able to get the Geo Gnosis through peaceful means.
Only after the transaction between the two parties is completed, can they directly snatch it from the hands of the Fatui.
"Do you need seven Gnoses? That's right, after all, it is the power from the abyss. Only by fusing the seven elements together can it be completely purified."
But soon, Zhongli changed the subject and looked at the two sisters with a look of embarrassment, "But I'm sorry, children, before this, I signed a contract with the Queen of Ice at the cost of the Geo Gnosis."
Hearing this, Lin Yudie's heart was not much ripples, after all, this was something she had expected a long time ago, it was nothing more than waiting for some time, and then snatching it.
Anyway, the only ones who were carrying out the mission in Liyue were the two executives, Young Master and The Lady, who were almost at the bottom of the strength, so there was no need to worry about anything.
Besides, with her current strength, plus the Void Archives, even if their eleven executives came together, what could they do? At worst, they would all be killed!
After all, although Void Archives now uses elemental power and is not as powerful as before, she still has Honkai energy in her body, and she can take it out again at any time if she wants!
At the same time, after hearing Zhongli's words, for some reason, she seemed to be relieved.
After all, if she really followed the requirements of the contract and played the villain in Liyue, and did something like releasing the demon god Osial, thereby implicated innocent people, she really couldn't do it.
If she didn't do this, she wouldn't meet Zhongli's requirements to test the people of Liyue.
Therefore, it would be better to leave this kind of thing to the Fatui. She is much better at killing Fatui.
However, unlike Lin Yudie, Nahida seemed very anxious after hearing Zhongli's words, "That... that means, the Geo Gnosis can't be obtained, then mother... mother..."
"Sister... sister... what should I do..."
Nahida had already shed tears when she said this. After all, in Nahida's heart, if the Geo Gnosis couldn't be obtained, then her mother couldn't be saved.
"Nashida, don't cry. There will be a way. No matter when and where, your sister will be by your side."
Lin Yudie hugged her sister tightly, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She still needs more training.
After hearing this, Zhongli looked at her with some approval. This child has a good character.
After that, he immediately said, "Don't worry, child. Although the contract cannot be changed, things outside the contract can be changed."
"When the contract is completed, and the Gnosis appears in the hands of the Fatui, then everything has nothing to do with me."
"Ah? Can it be like this? That means that mom can still be saved, right?" After hearing this, Nahida had a slight smile on her face.
"Yes, so Nahida must remember in the future that as the god of wisdom, you must always think calmly, and you must not only listen to half of what others say!"
Zhongli still controlled his rock pillar to fly quickly, and soon he was about to approach Liyue Harbor. Seeing the prosperous city in front of him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, his old friend did not see him flying on the rock pillar, otherwise it would be another wear and tear.
"Wow, sister, is this Liyue Harbor? It's so beautiful, even more prosperous than Ormos Port." Nahida jumped off the rock pillar and said happily as she looked at the city in front of her.
"Sure enough, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Although we can learn about Liyue Harbor from the Akasha system and the World Tree, it is far less real than seeing it with our own eyes."
"Sister, let's go in and play for a while. I heard that Liyue Harbor has beautiful sky lanterns, as well as the Lantern Rite Festival, the Moonchase Festival and many delicious foods!"
Nahida pulled her sister excitedly.
"Hehehe, Nahida, slow down, shouldn't we find a local to be our guide first!"
"Ah? It seems to be right, then..." Nahida looked at Zhongli who was not far away.
"Haha, since you have free time, I will accompany you on this journey." Zhongli looked at the two children in front of him and chuckled.
