Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Angry Zhongli
"May I ask who you are?" Zhongli looked at the white-haired girl in front of him and asked.
The two girls in front of him both had the same aura as the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata in Sumeru back then. Their relationship should have been quite close.
However, according to his understanding, there was only one Lesser Lord Kusanali in Sumeru, so why were there two?
At this moment, Zhongli was full of doubts. It seemed that many things that he didn't know about must have happened in the past 500 years.
"My name is Lin Yudie, my goetic name is Agares, the daughter of the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, and this is my sister, the current Dendro Archon of Sumeru, Buer."
"Hello, Senior Rex Lapis, my name is Nahida~" Nahida poked her head out from behind her sister and greeted Zhongli with a smile.
At the same time, she was still eating Candied Ajilenakh Nut in her mouth. She felt that this Candied Ajilenakh Nut made by magic seemed to be much more delicious than the Candied Ajilenakh Nut in Sumeru City.
I don't know if it was her own illusion, or if it really tasted better than ordinary Candied Ajilenakh Nut.
"I have decided to step down from the position of Geo Archon. You can just call me Zhongli. I am no longer the Geo Archon Morax." Zhongli looked at the girl in front of him and said slowly, his eyes seemed to be a little vicissitudes.
However, he was very happy to see the two daughters of Sumeru's old friend at this time. It seemed that the old friend should be fine.
After hearing Zhongli's words, Lin Yudie frowned at first, but soon relaxed again, because she could feel that the Gnosis was still in Zhongli's body.
In other words, he might not have signed a contract with the Ice Queen yet!
"Ah? Why do you want to abdicate?" Nahida looked at the most ancient god in front of her with some confusion.
"Because, in today's Liyue, the era of divine rule has passed, and it's time to welcome the next era."
"The next era, what is that?" Nahida looked at Zhongli with some confusion.
"It's the era of human rule." Zhongli said slowly.
"Even the hardest rock climbing will wear out under the erosion of time, but I have always convinced myself that the day when the wear and tear will crack has not yet come."
"Until one rainy day, I was walking in the port and heard a merchant praising his subordinates, you have completed your duties, now, go and rest."
"At that time, I stopped for a long time among the people coming and going, and kept asking myself in my heart, have I completed my duties?"
....
Perhaps because he was happy to see the two daughters of his old friend, or because it was rare to have two people to talk to, Zhongli told the two sisters a lot of things.
And Nahida, very rarely put away her playful heart, and listened carefully to the story of the oldest god among the seven gods.
She felt that she seemed to have learned a lot of new knowledge today, which were all things that a qualified god should have.
As for Lin Yudie, she seemed to be lacking interest. She sat aside with one hand supporting her fragrant cheek, looking at her sister, and then looking at Zhongli, with a smile on her lips.
"If I let Zhongli teach my sister, then can she slack off for a while? Can I go to Liyue Harbor to find Ganyu, Keqing, and Yaoyao?"
Lin Yudie's eyes were rolling. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her plan was feasible. Should she sign a contract with him later?
After all, Rex Lapis is older than her mother. Maybe he can't compare with her mother who is in charge of the World Tree in terms of knowledge reserves, but his knowledge is definitely very broad, especially the experience of managing a country.
As for taking care of children, he should also know it.
"By the way, after saying so much, I don't know why you two came to Liyue this time?"
"I wonder if your mother is doing well recently. I haven't seen her for hundreds of years since the Seven Rulers Gathering." Zhongli asked the two girls in front of him.
After all, the gods nowadays will not easily leave their own land except for special times like the Seven Rulers Gathering.
Now, when seeing the two sisters coming to him alone, Zhongli realized that something big might have happened in Sumeru and needed his help.
"This...sister, you should tell him." Nahida looked at her sister who was playing alone.
After all, her sister knew more about her mother and what happened in the past 500 years than she did.
Hearing this, Lin Yudie also put away her playful heart and put away her green swing.
"This is what happened, Zhongli, you should still remember Khaenri'ah 500 years ago."
"Well, yes, in that battle, your mother was guarding the World Tree and did not participate in the battle with the abyss. Has she escaped now?"
"No, on the contrary, her current situation is very bad..."
Lin Yudie shook her head, and then she told Zhongli everything that happened in the World Tree in the past 500 years, as well as her mother's current situation.
"The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata... actually suffered this disaster..." After listening to the girl's story, Zhongli had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
At the same time, he also had a clue as to why the two sisters came.
"Hey, Zhongli, there are a few things that are inconvenient to say now, so I can only communicate through voice transmission."
At this moment, Zhongli suddenly received the divine power transmission from Lin Yudie.
"Oh? What's the matter?" Zhongli also asked in the same voice transmission.
"After mom was contaminated by forbidden knowledge, my sister was imprisoned by the people of the Order Council for 500 years because she had no power. I rescued her recently.
"And now, under the leadership of the Fatui, they plan to create a new god..."
"This is their god-making plan, you can take a look." Then he handed a light green crystal to Zhongli.
After all, her sister was right beside her. It was not the time to tell her about the god-making plan. She should wait until she grows up.
"What! The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata made such a great sacrifice for them and for the entire Teyvat, but her daughter was treated like this. How dare they... How dare they do this! "
After hearing Lin Yudie's words, Zhongli's temper, which had not been ignited for a long time, suddenly flared up, and he almost took Rainbow-Piercing Lance (Vortex Vanquisher) to find the Order Council.
Moreover, what made him most angry was that the Fatui were actually leading this. He couldn't help but doubt whether the contract he signed with the Ice Queen was really correct?
