Chapter 310 The Influence of Bad Luck
In the sub-dimensional Teyvat continent, Xumi, Omos Port, somewhere in a construction site where a prototype of a house was still being built, Zhongli, wearing a safety helmet, shook hands with the Xumi clerk in front of him and said:
"Hello, Mr. Elhaisen. You are here to see Mr. Kavi. He is busy with things on the construction site right now. If you have anything to discuss, please follow me first. I will let him know afterwards."
"Mr. Zhongli, you are too polite. I have also heard about your deeds in Liyue. It is a matter of fate that the Wangsheng Hall can send you to Xumi to open a branch hall. Moreover, I am here not only for Kavi's matter, but also to ask you to propose a meeting with the Grass God."
Zhongli looked calmly at the gray-haired young man in front of him who was not frightened by the sudden change. He actually showed some interest in the young clerk in front of him. He then took the man to a private room in the teahouse and began to discuss business.
"Mr. Zhongli, I need to know what your purpose is in meeting the Grass God. Otherwise, I will not help you."
Elhaisen came straight to the point without beating around the bush. His straightforward words made Zhongli's eyes flash with satisfaction, and he couldn't help but slow down his tone and said:
"Mr. Elhaisen, there is nothing to worry about. The most important part of the business of the Rebirth Hall is the ceremony of asking the local gods to bless the soul. This requires a face-to-face contract with the gods. If you want to settle for the next best thing, you have to communicate with the gods remotely."
"I see. It seems that Liyue attaches great importance to the burial of the deceased, and even needs to ask the local gods for advice. However, it is difficult for the Great Sage to take this reason seriously. Instead, he will regard you as people with ulterior motives. After all, it is not easy to see the Little Auspicious Grass King."
Elhaisen rubbed his temples with a headache, looking at the void terminal that had been planted before the conversation, his suspicion of the great sage grew deeper and deeper, but he still shook his head and denied the reason of the Rebirth Hall, and then said with a deep look:
"Mr. Zhongli, it is not realistic to contact the Little Auspicious Grass King through the Void Terminal or to meet him in person. I cannot meet your conditions, please forgive me."
"It's alright, Mr. Elhaisen. I know that my previous conditions were ridiculous, but this also indirectly confirms my guess that the great sage is hiding something, which may be the reason why the little auspicious grass king has not appeared in front of the world for a long time."
Zhongli's words were sonorous and powerful, and the mysterious language gave Elhaisen a head-on blow. His head was suddenly confused and extremely clear-headed. Some of his original doubts suddenly came to mind. He looked at the void terminal on the table and his expression became serious.
……
In the main time and space, in the fifth district of Teyvat continent, in the office of the leader of the Knights of Favonius.
Barbatos looked at the prepared drinks with a serious face, his gaze cast towards the direction of Liyue outside the window. His divine armor emerged, his white wings flapped, and he instantly turned into a breeze and disappeared on the spot.
In Liyue, the Morax couple who had already come out of the inner world were handling official business in the Rock King Palace of Tianheng Mountain. They had hundreds of seals on hand, and some policies from various places were also implemented after the seals were stamped.
Just as Morax put down the last seal, the sudden resonance of the Heart of God made him look in the direction of Mond.
Morax already knew the environment in Mond through the token and projection symbol given to him by Ye Li. He didn't know why the God of Wind came to them. Could it be a governance issue? As one of the Seven Consuls, he had to go and confirm it.
Gui finally noticed that Morax was acting strange, and couldn't help but asked with a smile:
"What's wrong, Morax? Are you tired? If you are tired, you can rest on my thighs."
"We'll talk about this later. Our neighbor seems to be in trouble. Do you need to go over and take a look?"
"Neighbors? Are you talking about Mond? I heard that unreliable drunkard is very good at causing trouble. I'm afraid you'll be forced to drink if you go there."
"It doesn't matter. If the other party really needs help urgently, we can't just ignore it. If it's really a misunderstanding, just give him a little punishment.
"Then you're a pretty nice person." Gui Zhong imagined the scene of Barbatos being blasted off by Morax's head, and couldn't help but laugh and tease.
On the other side, Barbatos, who was rushing to Liyue to invite the Seven Gods to a cocktail party, couldn't help but shudder. Wrapped in divine power, he couldn't help but frown. The phantom pain from between his eyebrows made him feel puzzled, but when he thought of the scene of the first gathering of the Seven Gods, he was no longer afraid of anything.
With a whoosh, Barbatos sped up and turned towards Inazuma, but before taking the detour, he left an arrow made of wind that flew rapidly towards Liyue to prevent Morax from misunderstanding anything.
……
In the next time and space, on the continent of Teyvat, Mondstadt, the squeaking carriage tires finally broke down. Everyone started making new wooden tires on the spot with numb expressions, and Bennett smiled awkwardly, but no one blamed him.
Ye Li picked up the scrapped wheel helplessly, looked at the tiny mark on it that shouldn't have been so big, and complained:
"As expected of a Chuunibyou girl, the extent to which luck affects her is really tricky."
"You are so rude, Mr. Judge. Are you too focused on your own pleasure to tease me, the princess, and the Doom Knight whom I recognize?"
"Miss, what I mean is, can you please stop using weird names when you're playing Lezi? It will be very awkward for Bennett and me."
"Oz!"
Seeing Fischl glaring at Oz with a slightly blushing face, Ye Li immediately understood why the little girl was shy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. If that smile was placed in a certain galaxy, it would definitely be noticed by a certain joy and gain strength on his path.
"I was just joking, Princess, please don't take it so seriously. Besides, your loyal knight is doing something bad with good intentions."
Ye Li pointed at Bennett, who was helping to cast the new wooden tire, with a joyful smile. The employees of the Wangsheng Hall had already started to take precautions, fearing that Bennett's hand would pull away and crush the originally solid wood into powder.
The people who came to Wangsheng Hall these days were really seeing a god of bad luck. It sometimes rained every time they went out. When they were unlucky, there would be a few bolts of lightning on the tires during a thunderstorm, blocking their progress. It was exactly like the feeling of a certain vernacular novel, with one road and one heaven after another.
This was a blessing for this unfortunate child who was even despised by God. It would have taken only a few days to reach Qingquan Town, but it took him ten days to cover almost half the distance. It was simply too difficult.
The place where they were stopping was now only a few miles away from Qingquan Town. If they reattached the wooden tires to the car, they would be able to reach their destination in less than two hours.
"Hey, Fischl, don't drag me. I can walk by myself. Be careful so we don't bump into each other and get hurt."
Fischl reluctantly pulled away Bennett, who wanted to help but was easily making things worse. With a sincere tone, he subconsciously spoke normal words:
"Can you please stop making trouble, you idiot? Let's just sit still."
"Miss, what you mean is that the help of the Knight of Doom is too entangled in cause and effect, and it is easy to complicate simple things. Just follow me and take a rest for a while."
"Oz, there is no need for you to elaborate on this."
Fischl blushed and glared at Oz who was flying beside her. Bennett was also pulled away by the girl as usual. The atmosphere was very harmonious, and the eyes of the only few female employees of the Hall of Rebirth were as bright as stars as they watched this scene which made them imagine a lot.
"Well, what an energetic young man."
Ye Li sat on the top of the carriage. He had already finished the cup of tea in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, a staff member of Wangshengtang who was passing by the night carriage looked at his boss above with a strange expression and muttered in his heart:
"You are only a few years older than them. Why do you look so mature? But having said that, Master Hu is really amazing. Each of the guests he invited has a unique personality."
