Chapter 84 - 83: Getting Threatened By Morax, And Missing A Part Of Soul

There is a saying that goes, I see you in the crowd once, and I will never forget you just that one glance. Now it is most suitable to use it on Bai Luo. But this glance was not about falling in love with each other, but... Bai Luo did not sit at the table that his subordinates had left for him, but walked straight to the man in fancy clothes and sat in front of him. The other person's hand holding the tea bowl paused, and then he sighed. Lao Zhou's tea-making skills are pretty good. Compared with his grandfather's skills, although they are a little immature, they have many more stories. So he likes this place very much, but if he really makes a move this time, he is afraid that he will never be able to come here to drink tea quietly again. But when he raised his head, his brows frowned slightly. Because he saw something. "Guest, there is an empty seat over there, otherwise..." Uncle Zhou didn't say this to Bai Luo, but to the man in fancy clothes. Because there is one thing he is ver noy clear about, no matter how special this person's identity is, he is not more special than the fatui. Being used to the ways of the world, he knew very well that this fellow who was respected by all the Fatui might have a relatively high status among the Fatui. "No, Boss. I have something I want to talk to this...Mr...." "Okay, I'll bring you your peanuts right away." Uncle Zhou agreed verbally, but in fact he had already planned to ask the Millelith Army for help. However, how could those Fatui from the 9th Company not see through his thoughts? They had already blocked his way out, causing him to be so anxious that his hands were shaking. Fortunately, Bai Luo did not make things difficult for that gentleman, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. "What do you want to talk about?" The man in fancy clothes could feel that Bai Luo was somewhat wary of him, but this wariness was mixed with a bit of curiosity and... respect? Judging from his appearance, he should also be from Liyue, right? Could it be that he saw through my identity? "My name is Bai Luo. May I ask your name, sir?" "I have many names. If it were at this moment...it would be Zhongli." "..." What Zhongli, it should be called Geodaddy! Bai Luo admitted that although he recognized his true identity at the beginning, he still felt a little nervous after confirming it. This is the fourth god he has met since he came to this world. Compared with the previous three, this one is much more down-to-earth. If he didn't know the plot and remembered this person's appearance, he would never have thought that this person sitting in the teahouse drinking tea from a big bowl with a crack in it was actually the dignified God of Contract Morax. "You came from Mondstadt?" Putting down the tea bowl in his hand, Zhongli looked in the direction of the stone gate and asked. Unconsciously, he had seized the initiative just by relying on his momentum. Even now he was surrounded by Bai Luo's men. In some cases, quantity pales in comparison to quality. If Zhongli really wanted to attack these Fatui, then it would be difficult for anyone except Bai Luo to survive. "Well, there are no suitable ships for sailing in Mondstadt. I plan to take a ship from Liyue Harbor." This was not news worth hiding, so Bai Luo was not worried about leaks. "Liyue is the richest harbor in the east of the entire Teyvat continent, known as the [Land of Rocks and Contracts]. I believe that there you will be able to find a ship that can carry you." When talking about Liyue Harbor, Zhongli's tone was filled with pride and relief that were difficult to conceal. He had created it, and then watched it grow into the behemoth it is today. He treats Liyue like his own child. How could he, as a father, not be proud of having such an outstanding child? "Carry my ship?" These meaningful words made Bai Luo feel a sense of crisis. The impression Zhongli gives people is that of an old man who likes to go shopping and walk his bird. He never carries any money when he goes out, and at most he knows some knowledge about the upper class. But he is Liyue's Geo Emperor after all, so how could he really not care about worldly affairs? You have to know that he still possesses the Gnosis and the authority of the Geo Archon. He is a real God. When Bai Luo found out his true identity, he probably also guessed that he was an Harbinger from Bai Luo's clothing and his name. "If you can't find a suitable one, you can come to me. I have accepted an invitation from someone to be a guest at a place called Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. During this time, I have made friends with many boatmen." "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhongli. Our Fatui's ship is strong enough." Come on, if you really get on those ships, there might be a guy wearing a mask and holding a harpoon, shouting about being bored, incompetent, and useless waiting for you inside. Besides, is the boatman that Wangsheng Hall knows really reliable? Does he really think that he doesn't know what Wangsheng does? It's more reassuring to have your own boat. "Yes, in terms of universal reason, if it is for friendship, it is indeed as hard as a rock. If it is for war, it is not as strong as a piece of paper." "..." Is this a threat? It is definitely a threat, right? But Bai Luo just couldn't do anything to him. He guessed that the person behind him would just come over and make some harsh remarks, but he didn't dare to actually fight with the other party. You have to know that this seemingly harmless old man is actually called the God of War. He always said that he had no intention of competing for supremacy, but who knows how many demons he had killed. We still don't know how many demons are buried in the oil drums filled with cement that sank under the Gunyun Stone Forest . Bai Luo knew his identity, but the Ninth Company and the four Fatui guards who followed him from Mondstadt did not know. Zhongli's behavior was a provocation to the Fatui, to Snezhnaya, and even to the Queen. If Bai Luo hadn't stopped them, the people from the Ninth Company would have drawn their swords long ago. "You are from Liyue, right?" Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, Zhongli's next sentence eased the atmosphere a little. "Yes, I should be from Liyue, but I lost some of my memories. I woke up in a river in Snezhnaya. I only remember the name Bai Luo, and I still don't know where I live in Liyue." In a sense...he wasn't lying. "No wonder then." Zhongli's frown relaxed slightly, as if some doubts had been resolved. Is it because of my identity as a Liyue person? Or... "I may not know your identity in Liyue, but I do know a little about the reason why you lost your memory. According to common sense, these things should not be told to you, but... well, it doesn't hurt to tell you." When Bai Luo heard Zhongli say this, he felt nervous for no reason. Basically no one knows that he is a time traveler. But he was not sure if someone at the level of the Demon God could see through it. He still remembered the look the Queen gave him and her words "interesting". Is this really a comment on his invisibility? With his ability to become invisible, would the Queen really make an exception and promote him to an instructor? "Ghosts, spirits, evil spirits... On the continent of Teyvat, these strange beings appear due to the influence of the earth veins, and your own condition is related to the earth veins and evil spirits. You're... missing a part of your soul." ________________________________________ Hello my dear readers, I noticed that I am not getting power stones.
