Original God, but the real world

Chapter 114-Adventurer

This is the end of our journey to the Salt of the Earth.

Because everyone didn't cover up too much, it saved a lot of time overall.

Jiang Qing's plan to invite Morax to go to Inazuma together failed at the very beginning.

Zhongli seemed to see through it, and directly said that he wanted to go to Mondstadt.

Mondstadt is much safer than Inazuma, which is too chaotic.

Although chaos or peace makes no difference to Zhongli, he does not want to interfere with the rule of General Lei Dian.

Specifically, He will not interfere with how another ruler governs the country.

Everyone is at least of the same level, and Inazuma is not Morax's territory. It is impossible for him to set foot on Inazuma's land specifically to teach a god right from wrong.

Perhaps in the eyes of General Raiden, what he did was also for the future of Inazuma.

As for the mortals who died because of this...let them die.

For the sake of the final good result, sacrificing some mortals along the way is insignificant.

This is not a difficult thought to understand. After all, they think a lot and look far ahead. They think that temporary sacrifices for the sake of far-reaching goals are acceptable.

And since General Raiden can accept it, then Inazuma must naturally accept it as well.

Of course, Zhongli didn't think he had the ability to change General Lei Dian's mind without taking action.

The general was not an opponent who could be changed by words.

If you want to persuade the general, you must use something else.

But to say that there was no gain at all is not really the case.

Because Jiang Qing saw another acquaintance.

"I didn't expect to see Miss Ganyu here." Jiang Qing bowed slightly, "It seems that my luck is pretty good."

"The Son of God has always invited me to visit Inazuma in the past. Although the Emperor said that this matter is not simple, I still want to go and take a look."

Ganyu waved her hand, her expression calm, "You keep talking about Inazuma, and I'm somewhat interested in Inazuma now."

And most importantly, make room for the Seven Stars.

Let the immortals and gods leave Liyue from this era.

"There's nothing to see in Inazuma now." Jiang Qing thought for a moment, "Although it's my honor to travel with the immortal, it's not really appropriate for you to go to Inazuma with your status."

For a period of time after Ganyu retired, Ningguang asked her three secretaries to temporarily take over Ganyu's work.

Everyone has complained about Ganyu's heavy workload after she came back. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the original intention of these words is that the workload is too heavy or not. The key is to praise Ganyu for her hard work and great contributions.

The three of them followed Ningguang and were considered to have excellent administrative abilities. As a result, the three of them took over Ganyu's tasks and were extremely busy, which of course in turn praised Ganyu's abilities and contributions.

In fact, it is really not that impossible to handle.

At worst, just find more people.

Ganyu is not the type to make decisions arbitrarily. She accepted Morax's ideas and waited for the Seven Stars to stand up and take over Liyue Harbor.

The work she would accept might be tedious, but it would definitely not be a burden that could affect the future of Liyue.

Ganyu threw this kind of task to Qixing to judge. At most, Ganyu would participate in the discussion, but would never make the decision on her own.

The remaining tasks are tedious and important, but they can be undertaken by others.

No matter how many people in the Seven Stars and Eight Gates want to move up, as long as Ganyu is willing to give up her position, no one will feel that they are unable to carry the burden.

The problem was that Ganyu didn't really want to retire at that time. She just suddenly became angry and felt that Qixing wanted to lay her off, so she went to Jueyunjian to sigh.

If Ningguang really took her occasional naivety as her real desire to leave, and then prepared to take over Yuehaiting...it's hard to say what Ganyu will be like, but there will most likely be some problems with Ningguang.

So Ganyu is gone, and she and Qixing have to invite Ganyu back.

Because this person left with a misunderstanding. If she really brought back the fact that Qixing persuaded her to leave to Jueyunjian, Master Liuyun might openly call her a fool and then turn around to deal a big blow to Qixing.

Of course Jiang Qing understood this matter.

So, everyone has to praise Ganyu’s innocence, but Wanyan’s innocence... isn’t that a sign of mental problems?
who cares.

But this time it's different.

It seems that Ganyu is really planning to retire after achieving success.

Qixing couldn't let her be laid off, but if she wanted to leave, the most she could do was to refuse three times, and finally she had to say that the position of Yuehaiting would be reserved for her forever, and whenever she wanted to come back, the position would still be hers.

This is probably not a statement.

The power of Yuehaiting will be divided, but the position of the master of Yuehaiting will remain vacant forever, waiting for Ganyu.

If she is willing, the position is hers. If she is not willing, the position will remain vacant waiting for her forever.

You can't really promote someone, and then one day Ganyu really wants to come back, wouldn't that be very embarrassing?
There is a vacancy in the position, and even though the position exists on the surface, the power is actually dispersed and it will not affect anything.

If you don't do a good job in face-saving projects, you won't be able to reach such a high position.

Jiang Qing did understand, but he didn't quite understand Gan Yu's change of heart.

But it's also half good news.

"You said Inazuma was not very nice to me..." Ganyu was silent for a moment.

With her abilities, it was hard to guess what not so good meant.

Inazuma's combat power is obvious. Apart from General Raiden, there is also Yae Shinko, a follower of the God of Thunder.

Ganyu is not worried about the Eightfold Divine Son.

Judging from the time alone, Ganyu also left some military achievements in the Demon War - not the record of becoming fat as a ball and getting stuck in the esophagus of the giant beast, and then easily winning.

Most people don’t dare to record this kind of thing, for fear of being punished by Ganyu.

Five hundred years ago, Yae Shinto was just a little fox, not even a great demon.

Of course, he is now a follower of the God of Thunder. With the favor of the God of Thunder, his strength has been greatly improved.

However, Ganyu didn't think she would definitely lose.

Not counting the Yae God Child, she went to see Inazuma. She couldn't go directly against General Raiden, right?
How can He De He can.

Go see Inazuma, talk to Yaegamiko, and become an opponent of General Raiden?

"Is the result so bad?" Ganyu sighed, "I just went to chat with a friend, and maybe I need her to make some arrangements. Am I going to become an opponent of General Lei Dian?"

She was kind of in denial.

Not long ago, she, the immortals and the Seven Stars were pinned to the ground by Osel, and they barely won half a move.

Looking back, I am going to challenge General Thunder alone?

Ganyu refused.

"The friend you're looking for should be Yaemiya Tsukasa, right?"

Before the isolation order was implemented, Yae Kamiko also served as Inazuma's diplomatic ambassador.

Given her status as the chief priest of the Narukami Taisha Shrine and a retainer of General Raiden, it was not convenient for Qixing to receive her, so Ganyu was asked to come instead.

If Yae Shinto wants to make friends with others, he naturally has his own ways.

She can joke and joke with Ying, but she also has the ability to handle matters seriously. It's just a matter of speaking the right words to the right people.

Ganyu didn't have a bad impression of her.

She had never been to Inazuma before, and the only person she could consider as a friend was this Yae Godson.

"It's not surprising that you know this," Ganyu blinked, "Are you trying to say that Shenzi has a problem?"

"Don't slander her friends in front of others."

Ganyu wasn't really angry, she just scolded him lightly.

"Master Gong Si doesn't dare to do that." Jiang Qing shook his head. "She might use your power. If so, she will definitely offer bargaining chips for the deal."

Even for Ying, she had to use a lot of tricks to get Ying to take this path.

In particular, in order to save Ying, Yae Shinto finally paid the price of the Heart of God.

With Ying's temper, it was not impossible for her to confront the general for no reason. After all, she had already embarked on this path because of the Eye Hunting Order and Thomas's affairs.

And if someone gave her God's heart and asked her for help, she would definitely not refuse.

But Ganyu and Ying are a little different.

It’s hard to say what Ying’s background is, but Ganyu’s background is very clear.

Especially what she said just now, "The Emperor said", which means that she asked for leave from the old man before going to Inazuma.

This incident reminded Jiang Qing of the time when Xiao went to the Abyss and he also asked for leave from his parents.

At the last critical moment, the old man really came out to save people.

Could it be that...

Jiang Qing looked at Gan Yu carefully and had some guesses in his mind.

It’s unlikely that the old man will say this time that you can go on your own, this is the path you chose, and there’s nothing I can do if anything goes wrong.

Then he followed secretly, fearing that something might really happen to the restless child.

In that case...that wouldn’t be good.

It is not impossible to make a deal with Ganyu and use Zhongli behind her.

But this time, Jiang Qing couldn't come up with any chips that would be useful to Ganyu.

In this case, it is not cooperation, but pure exploitation.

It's okay to take advantage of bad people, but being so harsh on good people is a bit too much.

That is to say, even though there are big thighs, I can't hug them at all.

It's a bit regrettable.

Jiang Qing was not particularly disappointed.

The appearance of Zhongli was an unexpected surprise. As the saying goes, an unexpected surprise is worth celebrating if you get it, but it is not a loss if you lose it.

After all, the only person he can rely on for the real plan is himself.

Ganyu and Zhongli are not impossible, but you can't deliberately induce Ganyu to give up her life and then force the old man to take action.

In the land of Inazuma, the only one who is 100% sure that something bad will happen to Ganyu is General Thunder.

It would be fine if I couldn't get over this kind of thing, but if I really thought the old man and Ganyu were fools, I would have to start all over again.

"That's all." Ganyu blinked. "I'm just going to take a look. It doesn't matter where I go or what I look at."

It's just to make room for the people in Liyue.

If she continued to stay in Liyue, Qixing would definitely invite her back.

No matter what they think in their hearts, on the surface, they clearly have the attitude that no one else but Ganyu can do it.

So Ganyu simply went on a long journey.

"Okay." Jiang Qing did not dissuade him, "I don't know. I'll need your help next."

What else could he dissuade?

We are not that close to each other, so there is no need to dissuade him.

Ganyu's departure was based on her own choice. She had weighed things and decided to do so.

There was no need for Jiang Qing to dissuade him.

"That depends on how big the trouble is." Ganyu said with a smile, "If it's still something as troublesome as Liyue, I won't be able to help you."

Although she said she had left Liyue Harbor, she was still an immortal of Liyue after all.

Actually...it doesn't matter if I rashly interfere in Inazuma's affairs.

If Inazuma had not closed the country, given Ganyu's identity, she had interfered in Inazuma's internal affairs, and Inazuma could naturally protest to Qixing.

No matter how the Seven Stars responded, at least they took the lead in taking the righteous position.

Liyue and Inazuma had no disputes before, and they could not use war to force the other side to make concessions. However, for matters that affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, whoever loses the greater good will have to make concessions and give up their interests.

But Inazuma has already closed the country.

Even if Ganyu does something that affects the shogunate, the shogunate can protest and Qixing can ignore it.

Closing the country means that there is no cooperation and interests among everyone. Without talking about interests, what else can countries talk about?
You said she intervened in Inazuma's internal affairs on behalf of Liyue, so you protested to Qixing?
Well, then what?
I don't know anything as we're across the sea. How about this, you wait for Miss Ganyu to come back and I'll ask her. Maybe there's some misunderstanding?

Don't you want to wait?

I'm sorry, but in principle we trust Miss Ganyu more.

We believe that there must be a reason for this. There must be something wrong on your side, so Miss Ganyu had to fight back.

You have locked down your country. My protest against your brutal exploitation of Liyue merchants is useless. Is there any use in your protest against me?

Of course, this also means that Ganyu’s identity as the official representative of Liyue has lost its value to the shogunate.

But they couldn't do anything to Ganyu.

Even without the support of the Seven Stars, Ganyu is still an immortal.

With the strength shown by Inazuma, unless the general takes action personally, she will at least be able to escape unscathed.

It can even be said that the Eightfold Son of God will take the initiative to help Ganyu.

The only things that can have any influence on Ganyu are her own morality and the power of General Raiden.

However, it is probably not feasible to expect Ganyu to do anything big.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Jiang Qing's mind, but in the end he said nothing.

······
I met Ying and Paimon again on the boat.

Jiang Qing wanted to make friends with these two legendary adventurers and her little toys, but in the end she did not approach them to start a conversation.

Because there is no need.

Ying is a classic hero image, the kind that knows nothing and has never participated in anything before, but as long as someone asks her to help, she will participate in this disaster that may end her life.

A more classic example is people choosing to join simply out of sympathy for people’s tragic experiences and helping them change their tragic experiences.

Ask for nothing, but do something.

Ying is not like that. At least she has a reason and purpose for herself, not just for others.

The reason for this was, in the early stage, to seek information about Sora from the Seven Gods, and in the later stage, it was simply to explore the secrets of Teyvat.

Seriously speaking, her current goal of seeking answers from the Seven Gods has great real value, but its value to her is limited.

Whether to communicate with gods or to look for gods is not important to Ying now.

Of course, Ying can ask about many secrets. Secrets have value, but they may not necessarily improve her strength.

And in the midst of disaster, she just needs to gain strength.

When a brave man goes on an adventure, he needs to obtain a sword and armor, but he does not need to know why the evil dragon wants to destroy the world. It is enough to just know that the evil dragon is there.

This is also a conventional heroic epic.

Of course, Ying can have more purposes.

But as long as she had this purpose, she would have to get involved in all kinds of trouble.

And among all these, what she could gain was insignificant compared with what she had paid.

But that's what being a hero is.

I can have nothing and take huge risks, but I must make the result good.

That is, she doesn’t care what happens to the upper class, as long as at least the ordinary people can live in peace and happiness.

For a traveler from another world who is essentially non-human, at least not from Teyvat, her bravery and kindness are in no way inferior to that of Oropus, the great god of the sea.

Jiang Qing considered whether to approach Ying, befriend her, and seek her help.

Finally found that this was not necessary.

What he was about to do was generally just, and could almost be called just resistance.

Judging from San Fengxing's performance and General Lei Dian's current indifference and tyranny, Ying will naturally be forced to the opposite side by the general.

That is the army of justice that stands on the side of heroes.

Whether Kaijima's rebellion is just or not is irrelevant, but there is no doubt that Ying is a hero.

The opposite of a hero is a cunning person, and the side on which the hero stands is a magnificent army.

In Jiang Qing's view, what determines whether it is just or not is Ying's position and choice, not the nature of the war and the purpose of inducing the war.

Because the shogunate and Kaijima together may not be as valuable as this blonde girl alone.

The judgment and evaluation of the value of life has always been so simple and direct, and there is no need for any cover-up.

Jiang Qing believes that one day in the future he and Ying will become friends.

So it doesn’t have to be today.

He missed the opportunity to talk to Ying, but Ganyu did not.

Compared to Jiang Qing, Ganyu actually has a higher favorability towards Ying.

Because Ying really has no desire for Liyue and the immortals.

She later went in search of immortals and participated in the war to stop the Fatui and Osel. Qixing originally wanted to make her return public so that everyone would know Liyue's generosity.

In the end, she asked for a chip that cost almost nothing. "Then, help me post a few [Missing Person Notices]."

Ningguang almost couldn't hold it together.

How can we describe the value of a missing person notice... It might be useful to ordinary people, but to a great adventurer who can fight against Osel, it is worthless.

If her family members were missing, they would not be able to be found by the so-called "Missing Person Notice".

What's more, she later met Kong and discovered that Kong was the boss of the cult.

How could a missing person notice possibly find someone of the level of [His Royal Highness the Prince] of the Abyss Cult?

Ying's offer of this price is no different from simply saying that I don't need anything in return from you.

The occasion that was supposed to show Liyue's generosity suddenly turned into a performance of her indifference to fame and fortune.

Ying herself does not have this understanding.

Most people believe that this person really doesn't care about other chips, let alone the promise of the Seven Stars.

At that time, Ke Qing hinted many times that she could change a chip, but she insisted, which made the two Seven Stars helpless.

It was supposed to be a performance to calm people's hearts after the disaster, but it failed miserably.

Ningguang and Keqing were not very disappointed. After all, this opportune measure could be used, and there were other means of appeasement.

If Ying doesn't cooperate, then she won't cooperate. It won't affect the overall situation.

Ganyu’s understanding of Ying is quite special.

Just this kind of demeanor of not pursuing fame and fortune, and fighting against Ossiel and the Fatui simply to help Liyue Harbor, is enough for Ganyu to be grateful for.

Ganyu took the initiative to show her goodwill, so Ying was of course willing to take it.

With this foundation, the communication between the two of them was quite pleasant.

This communication ended only when the ship reached the outlying island.

"If you're going to take the normal route, this is your destination."

Beidou folded his arms, looking relaxed.

"Before the country was closed, the outlying islands were also the outposts that outsiders had to go through in Inazuma."

"And under the background of the national isolation order, this place naturally became the [place for foreigners to stay] of Inazuma."

"The vast majority of foreigners are only able to live and run businesses here."

Beidou is no exception.

To be precise, she had never registered herself or her fleet on the outlying island, but in most cases, she could pass through Inazuma and even go to Inazuma Castle.

The reason behind this is not complicated. First, her fleet can cross thunderstorms. If the shogunate's army wants to capture Beidou, they may have to ask the general or Yae Goddess for help.

The lady chief priest is lazy and is not interested in this matter. Even if the Third Magistrate begs on his knees in front of the great president of Narukami, she will probably just clap her hands and think that she has done a good job, then go back to sleep.

As for the general...you can't handle anyone, and you just ask the general to do things for you every day?
It really doesn't work.

The resistance forces on Kaijima Island alone were able to fight the shogunate back and forth. When they couldn't solve one problem, they asked for help from the shogun again. The shogunate was too shameless.

Moreover, after the country was closed, the nobles of Inazuma would have a greater demand for certain luxury goods.

There are not many people who can meet their needs, including the Fatui and Beidou's Southern Cross Fleet.

Since there are benefits to be gained and it is not easy to take advantage of, the shogunate is naturally willing to give Beidou face.

"I won't follow you to the island," Beidou looked at Ying, thoughtfully, "After all, there is a Mr. [Wanted Criminal] hiding on my ship."

According to Ying's current situation, if he sets foot on the outlying island, the shogunate should react quickly.

However, is it true that the shogunate does not want to show respect, but instead wants to control this great adventurer?
Thinking of the bet with Jiang Qing, Beidou couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Big sister, there's no need to emphasize my identity, right?"

Fengyuan Manye smiled bitterly.

Not long ago, he was an official noble of the shogunate, and above that, the Kaedehara family was considered a direct subordinate family of the shrine magistrate, one of the five generations of thunder and lightning.

As a result, by his generation, he became a wanted criminal of the shogunate.

Although Fengyuan Manye did not regret her choice that day, it is certainly not true to say that she had no emotional fluctuations at all.

He himself had never expected that the changes in the world could be so absurd.

Who could have thought that the general would suddenly implement an order to close the country, and then issue an order to hunt people?

"Heh... I just think the shogunate is interesting." Beidou narrowed his eyes slightly, "Forget it, I won't say anymore."

She had some understanding of Kaedehara Manye's identity.

An Inazuma was considered a high-ranking noble, but now there is only this one heir left, and he is still a wanted criminal.

The Shogunate is indeed interesting.

"Originally, the only person who needed to be arranged on the outlying island was our great adventurer." Beidou looked at Ying, "But since Miss Ganyu is here too, it is really an unexpected surprise for the Southern Cross Fleet to have this honor."

Beidou and Ningguang have a very good relationship, and she can also play around with Ningguang.

But if it's Ganyu, then forget it.

"So if we go through the official channels, there are relevant arrangements for the offshore islands." Beidou couldn't help but say a few more words, "But after the isolation order, the procedures for surveying and implementing the arrangements are now very cumbersome."

It is not necessarily accurate to say that it is easier to deal with the King of Hell than with the little ghosts.

Without the tacit approval of Shinsuke Hiiragi, these people's greed would not have allowed them to charge a handling fee of one million Mora.

"However, if we are with Ying, there may be a simpler way."

Gan Yu understood, "Someone is interested in Ying's ability, or her identity, and wants to ask her for help?"

The outlying islands are almost all demarcated and governed private reserves.

These are the rules he set, and if you want to play by his rules, you naturally have to be a person of the same status.

"He is a big shot in the community."

Beidou spoke casually.

Kamizatoie, the shrine magistrate, is indeed a big shot in the entire Inazuma.

But for her, it is not worth being afraid of.

"The internal strife of the Three Magistrates?" Ganyu looked at Ying, "This is the inevitable situation that people of status and power have to face."

She wasn't surprised.

With Ying's strength, trouble will always come to her.

Of course, it can be troublesome or rewarding.

"It's not difficult for adventurers to accept commissions from others," Ying said calmly, "as long as they can offer the corresponding chips."

"Ordinary adventurers need to work hard for their rewards, but in your case, you should have some choice, right?"

Ganyu covered her lips and chuckled.

There is nothing to sing about the life of an adventurer; it is a job that risks one's life in exchange for Mora, and any romantic description of it would be a deception.

But for great adventurers, adventure is another matter.

Ying is a great adventurer, and a very outstanding one.

The blonde girl tucked her hair behind her ears without further explanation.

She was used to this kind of thing.

Even without counting what happened before, just coming to the world of Teyvat, the God of Wind used secrets to drive her, and the God of Rock exchanged secrets with her.

Accepting a commission is nothing.

The premise is that the other party has good reasons and enough chips.
