Original God, but the real world

Chapter 172-Leisure
If Jiang Qing hadn't come looking for her, Ningguang should now be considering how to make full use of the information brought back by Ganyu.

This is one of Liyue’s investments, not Ningguang’s personal investment.

She does not have the ability to arrange an immortal for the time being. Even if Ganyu intends to withdraw from Liyue Harbor, and even if everyone has a close personal relationship, this kind of thing still has to be done in the common name of the Seven Stars.

The result was that Ganyu boarded the ship to Inazuma and helped the Society Bugyo and Jiang Qing to achieve victory.

Objectively speaking, the purpose of this time failed.

As expected, Inazuma should have lifted the isolation order.

The people who implemented the isolation order were Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke, and the failure of the isolation order meant the downfall of both of them - after all, the general could not be wrong, and someone had to take responsibility for the wrong policy.

This person is definitely not the God of Thunder.

At that time, the only remaining winner would naturally be the future ruler of Inazuma.

If two of the Three Bugyo fall, even if the remaining Bugyo is of average ability, as long as he holds on to the end, his power should be the greatest in the future.

This is the world's reward to the winner.

Liyue, which stands on the side of those in power and helps them win, can naturally gain considerable benefits from the lifting of Inazuma's national isolation.

This was also one of the big deals that Jiang Qing made at the time.

Ningguang didn't believe it at all at that time.

It would be unlikely for any normal-minded person to believe Jiang Qing at that time.

Closing the country was the general's will. After all, it was too exaggerated to change the gods' minds.

The reason why Ningguang agreed at that time was entirely because of Ganyu’s own thoughts.

She decided to leave Liyue Harbor, and when Ningguang asked her about it, she revealed her relationship with the Eightfold Son of God.

The network of relationships determined that even if she stirred up trouble in Inazuma and ultimately failed, the Three Magistrates would still have to send her back politely.

Since we have to leave Liyue Harbor, Jue Yunjian and Inazuma are both possible choices.

And in the end, Jiang Qing succeeded.

"Bai Wen, it turns out that divine authority can really be shaken."

she whispered softly.

It was as if he was talking to someone close to him, but Bai Wen just lowered his head and said nothing.

"Okay, okay, I know this is a miracle, I don't take it as a normal situation."

Ningguang smiled and said, "Okay, inform Qixing for me that our war with Zhidong is about to begin."

When the Northern Bank was rampant in the Seven Kingdoms, Ningguang was not yet a Seven Star, and the Seven Stars at that time also took countermeasures.

But in the end it was clearly a failure.

And now... Today, when the Golden House has completely become a thing of the past, Liyue can no longer sit idly by and watch Zhidong succeed for the second time.

In the end, a war is needed to decide who has the most say.

No matter what field it is, whoever has the highest voice is qualified to make the rules.

Making rules, enjoying the protection of rules, and submitting to rules are three states.

And Liyue must be the one who makes the rules.

From the beginning of the War of Demons to the present day, the power of the seven mortal kingdoms has always been inseparable from the gods.

The wealth and power of a country cannot compare to the power of the gods that rule that country.

The decline of Inazuma after its isolation was visible to the naked eye, but even so, because of the shogun's personal rule, Inazuma was still a strong country.

Since the end of the Demon War, Liyue has always been ranked first in power.

Because Morax is recognized as the most powerful god among the seven rulers.

You can be dissatisfied, but it doesn't matter. I don't need to consider your thoughts when I destroy you.

Although the old man is much gentler and friendlier now, during the war, when he buried the sealed demon god on the land of Liyue, he did not use his friendly attitude to exchange for the other party's inner shame and then commit suicide.

And now, Liyue has lost its god.

But even so, Ningguang has no intention of giving up the first place.

With such determination, Ningguang's eyes were very calm, without any enthusiasm.

There is no need to swear or get excited about things that must be done. As long as the things are not completed, you will continue on this path.

So there is no need to have any emotional fluctuations.

Let's leave the joy or disappointment at the end of the story.

The Northland Bank connects the Fatui's power in six countries. This is the Fatui's ability.

But times are changing.

······
"Do you want to go back and see Qin?" Jiang Qing suddenly asked.

The one who bought his old house was actually Eula.

Jiang Qing didn't care at all at the time, since he wouldn't stay in Liyue for long anyway.

In order to complete his plan, he needs to travel between the seven countries until he dies or succeeds.

Whatever the result, it means that he will not be able to take care of his old house for a long time.

He is not like Diluk, who wandered alone in the North for two or three years, and then turned around to find that the maid and housekeeper at home had made the manor's business even bigger.

Since Eula wants to buy it, Jiang Qing is of course willing to sell it.

"Why do you ask so suddenly?"

After not seeing each other for a while, Eula's face was no longer as cold as Mond's.

In Liyue, no one cares what kind of past Lawrence's surname symbolizes.

After the environment changes, people's mentality will naturally become much more relaxed.

"Ningguang is about to take action." Jiang Qing looked at Eula, "This is a war with Zhidong for the right to make rules. Liyue needs allies."

There is no better ally than Mond.

Objectively speaking, Pantalone is a business genius, but the label of Solstice and the mark of Fatui are very obvious on him.

This is an advantage.

Doing business cannot be separated from violence and power. You can do without them and do business with others on an equal footing, achieving mutual benefit, but you cannot do without them.

Only in this way can you ensure that the other party is also willing to work with you for mutual benefit.

With the support of the Fatui, Pantalone's business may have competitors, but this competition can be put on the table.

At least there won't be suicides with eight bullets in the back.

Because those who play this kind of trick on the Fatui usually become the unlucky ones who commit suicide.

However, since taking sides has its advantages, it must also have its disadvantages.

The Northland Bank has the support of the Fatui, and while it has received military and technical support from the Fatui, it also has to deal with the mess left behind by the Fatui.

The plan of the Fatui has passed through three countries, and none of these three countries will accept the Fatui at present.

There would not be any overt resistance, but any action taken by Zhidong in private would be resisted and delayed.

Although there is no absolute neutrality, at least we should declare ourselves neutral for the sake of appearance, not getting involved in conflicts, and just doing business.

Pantalone had no such opportunity.

The success of the Northland Bank is due to the support of the Fatui, and the troubles encountered by the Northland Bank will also be due to its relationship with the Fatui.

If Ningguang wants to fight back against the Northland Bank and seize the market left by the Northland Bank, she must cooperate with Qin.

Banking is a highly profitable industry. Even though Ningguang is already very rich, a person would never refuse to become even richer.

Eula could somewhat understand the reason behind this, so she began to think seriously about it.

In any case, even if her business has always been taken care of by someone, after living in Liyue for a period of time, she still has this level of sensitivity.

"No." After thinking for a while, Eula shook her head, "It's better not to go back."

Whether a person misses a city or not often depends on what she has experienced in that city.

It cannot be said that there is nothing worth reminiscing about in Mond's past, but except for two or three people, Mond did not leave any friendly faces to Eula.

In the past, she had no choice but to indulge in suffering.

Jean, Amber, these people are certainly the sparks in Eula's bleak days.

But now she has entered the world of light. The sparks may still shine brightly in her memories, but for Eula, they are no longer a necessity.

This will not affect her friendship with Amber, but it will not be like before, where they can only hold on to a straw in the water.

"You decide."

Jiang Qing didn't force it.

The cooperation with Qin was Nanahoshi's business, he told Eula, but he considered it an opportunity.

In fact, it would be better if Eula didn't choose to go back.

In any case, in the eyes of the Mond people, Lawrence's incident is not over.

She can live a new life in peace in Liyue, and when she returns to Mondstadt, she will still see the same eyes.

time is too short.

Less than a year is enough for a person who has been in the valley for a long time to be reborn, but for more people, it is actually too short a time.

It was so short that what Eula felt was the past actually seemed like it happened just yesterday to the people of Mond.

Jiang Qing meant to follow Liyue's official delegation and enjoy the feeling of returning home in glory.

How do the people of Mond comment on Lawrence's indifference? Returning home in glory is not an act that considers other people's feelings.

However, Eula did not have this idea, and Jiang Qing certainly would not force it.

The Fatui's plan to seize the Heart of God is implemented by each country, and each country will follow suit to fight against Solstice.

It is impossible for them to fight against the Fatui without considering Solstice, because the Fatui's greatest support is Solstice.

Pantalone's success in the past actually has a lot to do with the Fatui's style of doing things.

At the time they were just "a bit disgusting".

If it brings in huge profits, a bit of disgusting formal style is actually nothing.

In this case, the Northland Bank was able to operate in seven countries.

The Heart of God program changes all that.

Any country that has experienced these difficult troubles, and the people in power in that country, will be quite resistant to the Fatui.

Qin and Ningguang will be the new great sages of the future Academy of Teachings.

It doesn't matter who it is, they have obviously all experienced the troubles caused by the Fatui themselves.

Their preferences will directly affect a country's attitude towards winter.

Pantalone wants to control the flow of money, but this path requires absolute hegemony.

Unfortunately, Solstice does not actually have this status.

In terms of pure national strength, Zhidong may be the most powerful country.

However, in Teyvat where gods exist, the power of Solstice does not have a decisive influence.

This has nothing to do with personal ability. The more important influencing factor is actually the strength of the country.

Winter is strong, so the fools can be arrogant.

But Zhidong is not strong enough to look down on any country, so their plans often require cooperation with certain people and using the other party's power to promote their own plans.

The more active the Fatui are, the easier Ningguang's tasks become.

But there is no need to continue to deduce this.

What Ningguang wants to fight for is the monetary system of the new era, but this path can only affect ordinary people. Even immortals will not be affected by it.

Not to mention the seven earthly rulers who are high above.

There is no difference between high and low paths, but depending on what a person wants to do, different choices can ultimately be useful or useless.

This road is of little use to Jiang Qing.

All he needs to do is to use the data he got from the transaction with Inazuma to exchange for the chips he wants, and then do his own thing.

"Patch it together."

This is how Jiang Qing summarized his approach.

Exchange chips from many places and finally do your own thing.

It's like telling others about your dreams and making big promises in exchange for their investment.

There is not much difference in essence.

"Actually, I still miss Amber and Qin a little bit." Youla looked at Jiang Qing, "But I don't want to go back."

"If I go back, I always feel like I'm causing trouble for others."

Mondstadt is so big that even if some people naturally dislike Eula because of Lawrence's reputation, there will still be people who are curious about Eula.

A brief conversation with her revealed that she was not what people called a "Lawrence person."

She has friends in Mond.

However, recalling her experiences in Mond, Eula could only feel that living was a crime.

Ordinary Lawrence people would not be like this, the key point is that Eula is Lawrence who joined the Knights of Favonius.

The Knights of Favonius are the power institution in Mondstadt, and it is easy for ordinary people to maliciously speculate about Eula's intentions.

She was able to pass the Knights' review thanks to Farga's insistence.

“Do you think your life is not good enough now?”

Jiang Qing cooperated at the right time and gave his guess.

It is not quite appropriate to describe the situation at that time as leaving one's hometown. After all, it was a complete abandonment of the family business and the choice to go to Liyue to re-establish root.

At times like this, the closer friends are, the less they want to see each other when they are having a bad time.

"I still have this idea with Qin, but not with Amber."

Eula was also very candid.

There were some things she wouldn't even discuss with her own people, but she had no such concerns when talking to Jiang Qing.

Anyway, this person won't talk nonsense.

"I understand." Jiang Qing nodded.

As for Qin, there is actually a bit of competition involved.

The two men have equal backgrounds, and if we don't count old stories, they are actually the two leading figures of the younger generation among the three royal families.

It's understandable that Eula doesn't want to lose to Qin.

It must be Amber... the female bronze-headed woman.
