Chapter 366: Liyue Harbor with "Internal and External Troubles"
In order to identify the quality of the Night Stone, Ying and Paimon took Zhongli directly to the Dadaupa Valley in Mondstadt, wanting to borrow the cauldron there.
Of course, with their walking speed, it would take more than ten days to go back and forth, so Zhongli would naturally not agree at first.
But after hearing that Ying could lead people to use the teleportation anchor point, he agreed, and then several people teleported from the teleportation anchor point near Chihu Rock to Dadaupa Valley in Mond.
On the other hand, Liu Bai, who did not have to do daily commissions, went around and around and came to the Hagentus Ice Cream Shop.
After ordering an ice cream bucket and some snacks, Liu Bai found a seat and sat down to play with the Heart of the Rock God in his hand.
The more he looked, the more he felt that there were eight words missing from the Rock God's Heart.
"With my current swordsmanship level that has entered the state of selflessness, the engraving is still very stable, but I cannot use sword energy and divine weapons. It would be bad if I damage my jade seal..."
Liu Bai muttered softly.
When encountering a problem that he didn't know how to solve, Liu Bai had to turn his attention to the system interface to see if there was anything he had forgotten that could help.
[Forgotten Blade: Anyone who sees it will forget all the information related to it in their previous memory, so it is the most suitable weapon for murder, and its sharpness is extremely good.]
"Hey, when did I have this thing?"
Liu Bai took out the obsidian short sword with confusion.
"And this knife looks so sharp..."
Liu Bai subconsciously took it and gently scratched his wrist.
call out--
"...Hmm? Are you getting impatient waiting?"
In the back kitchen of Hagentus Ice Cream Shop, Gui Zhong was putting the ice cream bucket into the ice cream machine, but before she could press the button of the ice cream machine, Liu Bai suddenly appeared beside her, which made Gui Zhong look puzzled.
But he just sat down for less than a minute?
"Why am I here?"
Liu Bai looked around in confusion, then left the kitchen and went back outside to wait.
But just as he sat down, Liu Bai suddenly noticed that a black dagger appeared in his hand.
"This... is it the carving knife I bought? It looks sharp. Let me try it..."
call out--
"...?"
"for you."
Seeing Liu Bai appear in the kitchen again, Gui Zhong had no choice but to hand him the freshly made ice cream bucket.
However, outsiders were not allowed to enter the kitchen, so she immediately asked Liu Bai to leave.
"Huh? Why do I have a dagger in my hand? Is it the carving knife I bought?"
Not long after sitting down, Liu Bai suddenly found a dagger in his hand.
Just when he was curious and wanted to try the sharpness, Gui Zhong had already prepared Liu Bai's snacks and brought them over from the kitchen.
After looking at the food and the ice cream bucket on the table, Liu Bai put the dagger and the Heart of God aside for the time being and began to eat happily.
Although he had just finished his big meal, he felt hungry.
Although Guizhong's shop is an ice cream shop, since she added a device that can make various fried snacks, meal times have become her busiest business time.
After all, eating a piece of fried chicken, a serving of French fries, and a few spring rolls will basically make you full, and some young people think this is much more delicious than regular meals.
However, what Guizhong cares about is that customers occasionally give feedback that although the ice cream in the store is delicious, it is still a bit choking when paired with fried snacks such as fried chicken fillets, and they hope that some drinks can be introduced.
So she has recently been trying to make ice cream into liquid form, similar to milk tea, but judging from the viscosity, perhaps it should be called... milkshake?
Just like that, after lunch time, there were only two or three customers left in the restaurant, and Liu Bai was one of them.
He held the Heart of the Rock God in one hand and a dagger in the other.
Although other people had noticed him, most people in Teyvat had never heard of the Heart of God, so they didn't know what Liu Bai was holding, and therefore didn't pay too much attention to it.
Liu Bai simulated and rehearsed in his mind countless times before he slowly stretched out his hand and carefully began to carve words on the base of the Heart of God.
The Heart of God is not indestructible, it is just very difficult to destroy. However, with the sharpness of this dagger and Liu Bai's swordsmanship, it was easy to leave a mark on the Heart of God.
Rich rock elemental power overflowed from the carvings, but it had no effect on the Heart of God.
After more than a few quarters of an hour, Liu Bai put away the dagger in his hand and came out of his serious state of "no mind and no self".
"Huh? Why did words appear out of nowhere?"
At this moment, the girl next to him asked curiously.
Liu Bai turned around in confusion and found that Gui Zhong had come to his side without him noticing.
In order not to block Liu Bai's light, she deliberately turned sideways and tilted her head to get closer to see. Two strands of long gray hair at her temples and the long hair tied together with a hairpin at the back of her head hung freely.
After looking at Gui Zhong, Liu Bai was suddenly stunned by what she had just said, and turned back to look at the Heart of God in his hand.
"Fuck! The words appeared before I even carved them. This is really destiny!"
Liu Bai exclaimed when he saw the eight words "Mandated by Heaven, May You Live Long and Prosperous" engraved on the Heart of God.
Gui Zhong didn’t know what the Heart of God was, but seeing Liu Bai’s excitement, it should be something powerful, right?
Thinking of this, she clapped her hands cooperatively, but because her hands were hidden under her wide sleeves, no sound was made when she clapped gently.
"Haha! From now on, I will be the Rock God. I will go find the Seven Stars of Liyue to hold my coronation ceremony!"
Then Liu Bai excitedly held up the Heart of God and wanted to run out.
"Wait, wait! Could this be the Heart of God that Morax mentioned?"
Gui Zhong quickly grabbed Liu Bai's hand and asked.
Although there were still a few customers in the store at this time, the thing in Liu Bai's hand suddenly emitted some rock elemental power, and ordinary people cannot directly come into contact with high concentrations of elemental power.
In addition, Liu Bai looked very serious in his actions, and Gui Zhong didn't want to disturb him. He could only cast a magical barrier to temporarily isolate himself and Liu Bai. So now he didn't have to worry about the guests hearing his voice talking to Liu Bai.
Although she is not among the immortals, she has a good relationship with them. In addition, she is naturally intelligent and has learned quite a few immortal arts.
However, she is not good at fighting. She only learns magic that allows her to use mechanical devices. When she needs to fight, she relies on mechanical weapons to repel the enemy.
A barrier like this one allows the inner and outer spaces to overlap, but the inside and outside cannot touch each other before the barrier is closed, and the outside world cannot observe the inside of the barrier, making it an excellent means of setting up a Yihu mechanism to ambush the enemy.
"What Mora? Oh! How do you know that I have a divine heart and will soon ascend the throne to become the Rock God?"
Liu Bai proudly showed the Heart of God in his hand and said.
"...?"
In the end, Gui finally realized that Liu Bai's words did not answer his doubts at all.
"Well... I heard Morax talk about his plan. His God's Heart cannot appear at this stage. Do you want to... ascend the throne? Why don't you discuss it with him?"
Gui Zhong had no choice but to propose this to Liu Bai.
Although she did not join in the fun, she still hoped that nothing unexpected would happen. After all, it concerned the future of Liyue.
"I am appointed by heaven and am the only candidate to succeed the Rock God. Why do I need recognition from others?"
Liu Bai put his hands behind his back and raised his head slightly as he spoke proudly.
"Although the cause of the late emperor's murder has not yet been determined, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. When I ascend the throne, I will naturally find out which warrior dared to assassinate the late emperor."
After saying that, Liu Bai put his hands behind his back and walked around Gui Zhong who was blocking the way ahead and left.
Then with a dull "bang", his head hit the edge of the barrier hard.
