Chapter 162: Sneaking into the Wasteland to Save the Title
[Hu Tao: What do you mean by at least on the surface?]
【Tardalia: It means verbally】
[Hu Tao: Okay, okay, come to the Hall of Rebirth and chat with the guest.]
"Ms. Walnut, please do not insert advertising into your speech."
"Hey"
[Wendy: Those are my lines, please pay the copyright fee]
"But in my opinion, the so-called young master is just a pretext to divert attention."
"The real killer behind the scenes is you"
"Zhongli"
As Funina spoke, she pointed the toilet paper in Zhongli's direction.
"Oh, the Water God has such a high opinion of me, a mere mortal."
"I'm really curious about the mysterious basis of this."
"You must know that the Rock God Morax has governed Liyue for 3,700 years."
"As a mortal, being able to witness the passing of a god during his lifetime is an experience that only comes once in a thousand years."
"What's more, I personally arranged his funeral."
Hu Tao: So what does all this have to do with Zhongli assassinating the Geo God?
"The Wangsheng Hall is responsible for sending immortals, and this has been the practice throughout the ages."
"I just had the honor of organizing the Immortal Sending Ceremony for the Rock King Emperor. I'm not the special one."
"In a word, it all comes down to coincidence"
Zhongli's explanation obviously did not convince Funina.
"coincide?"
"I sent people to Liyue Harbor to investigate and collect evidence."
“Guess what?”
"Zhongli is a person"
"It happened that he became famous in the years before and after Morax's assassination."
“And before this, almost no one knew about it.”
"Such a suspicious person is actually on good terms with the executive officer and is also from the Wangsheng Hall."
At this point, even the subtitles of Funina's words were bolded.
"This is like a provocation to the Rock God and a warning of crime."
"Will I collect your body myself?"
For the last sentence, the subtitles also turned red to match.
"Ouch!"
"Little Walnut, I'm almost convinced"
"Zhongli, if you lose this big incident, I think your life will be in danger."
"What do you think, Master Hu?"
"You also know that Wangsheng Hall is having a special promotion right now."
“And internal employees enjoy a 30% discount.”
Xingqiu: Honestly, I already guessed what Master Hu was going to say.
[Ying: I'm curious why Wangshengtang has been holding regular promotions.]
[Walnut: Because someone keeps sending me bills]
【Zhongli: But I haven’t sent it recently】
[Walnut: This time it was sent by Prentis]
Zhongli pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly: "Although the Hall Master often says to prepare for a rainy day, but right now..."
"Oh, I see you wandering around all day, so this is a rare opportunity to increase your sales."
"What the Hall Master said is quite right. As for the expenses, we will record them in the account of the Rebirth Hall as usual."
"Oh my"
"Silence, silence, no frolicking in court"
Navril interrupted their conversation.
“This is business.”
"It is also forbidden to discuss business in court"
“Isn’t it true that the dead are greater?”
"It is forbidden in court to discuss business with the deceased"
That Villette's output made Walnut's little brain crash.
"You guys are not going to give up just yet, this is too boring"
While saying this, Funina was thinking in her heart: "This win was too easy!"
"What motive do I have to assassinate the Rock King?"
"Haha, I think you prefer to use [Morax] as the title of Rock God rather than Rock King."
"Ms. Funina, why do you say that?"
Upon hearing this, Funina smiled.
“Because of you”
"Zhongli"
"They are the descendants of the followers of Heulia, the Demon Goddess of Salt."
Xingqiu: Hahahaha, I really can’t hold it in any longer.
[Chongyun: Heulia never thought that after more than 3000 years of her death, this day would still come.]
Zhongli: From a common sense perspective, if you don't know my identity, it's understandable to make such a guess.
Zhongli was also stunned by Funina's attack.
"Legend has it that during the Demon War, the Rock King assassinated the Salt Demon."
"As descendants of the Salt God's followers, I am determined to avenge the God I believe in in the same way."
“Isn’t this the most reasonable motive?”
After Funina finished speaking, Villette also asked.
"Ms. Furninna, is there any evidence that Mr. Zhongli is a descendant of a follower of the Salt Demon?"
"Of course, there is no such thing as unfounded confidence in the world."
"According to a man named Clement, who lived in the winter,
"Mr. Zhongli, you've been to the Underground Salt Bar with Miss Wanyan, who is also a descendant of the Salt God's followers."
Hearing this, Zhongli confirmed what Funina said.
“That’s true, but at the time I was only serving as an advisor to Clement, conducting an archaeological survey.”
“The Hall of Rebirth also keeps records of its work.”
Hu Tao also agreed: "It is also one of the few work records of Keqing."
"But as luck would have it, he also brought a follower of the Salt Demon, and after arriving at the final destination..."
"Why did you beat up your employer Clement and then kick him out?"
"In this case, Mr. Clement violated the contract first."
"Based on privacy and contractual principles, it is not convenient to disclose what happened during this trip."
[True Lord Liuyunjiefeng: If you violate the contract in front of the Emperor, you will only receive a beating, which is considered light.]
[True Lord Lishui Dieshan: As expected, everyone in Zhidong is like this.]
[Tartaria: I told you not to fire a map cannon]
Rich Pantalone: @Clement, please go back to Winter when you have time.
But obviously Funina didn't buy it.
"Using the contract as a shield to cover up the truth is a common tactic used by you Liyue people."
[Navilette: Ms. Funina's words in the video do not represent Ms. Funina's own opinion]
[Funina: That’s it]
Zhongli: It’s okay, it’s just a video.
"I would like to remind Mr. Zhongli"
“If you don’t refute it”
"Funina's claim that you are a follower of the Salt Demon God will likely take effect."
Hearing this, Zhongli frowned.
“It’s a bit difficult”
"Hey Zhongli, you said that the Water God brought you to Sky Island the first time he met you."
"You said it's a competition of flattery, I can't lose, little walnut."
"Master, what wonderful ideas do you have?"
“For example…”
[Ding, what would Walnut say? ]
A. Zhongli is actually the Geo King.
[B. In fact, Furninna is not a water goddess at all]
【C.Actually, I am Melusin】
[D. Go to Keqing and give him two slaps to teach him a lesson]
[Ding, the system will randomly select a user to answer the question in five minutes]
[Kumi: Answering questions while under the curse of the Heavenly Devil is not a good idea.]
Zhongli: From a common sense perspective, the answer is there, unless the system suddenly changes the order of the answers.
【Ying: That’s right, so what should I choose】
[Paimeng: This time it depends on wisdom Paimeng]
[Paimon: First of all, this is a multiple-choice question, which means there is one correct answer and three incorrect answers]
[Arataki Ichito: That’s right, and what’s right is definitely right, and what’s wrong is definitely wrong]
Alice: You two, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, should take a break.
Wendy: Hey, based on previous videos, only the old man and Shuilong were present at the same time, so it was bound to end in a fight.
Zhongli: But I feel like I won't fight the Supreme Inquisitor in this situation.
[Navilette: That’s right.]
[Ding, please answer the question, Wendy]
