Original God: I can earn experience points

Chapter 493 Zhongli's Commission (Two in One)

"Hey, Zhongli, what a coincidence."

Li Qiuzhi said with a little surprise.

Speaking of which, that black snake seemed to be sealed there by Prince Rock. Could it be that the seal was broken by myself and attracted Zhongli here?
"Haha, it's a coincidence indeed. I just happened to pass by here and stopped to take a look when I saw the clear scenery in the lake."

Zhongli said with his hands behind his back and a smile.

"Uh, haha, I accidentally broke a seal while exploring the secret realm just now, and released the sealed monster, but luckily I have sealed it again."

Li Qiuzhi touched his collar awkwardly. How could he just happen to pass by in such a remote place?
He knew that Zhongli didn't want to reveal his identity in front of others, so he simply told him what had happened just like he was chatting with a friend.

"I see, is it possible to do this?"

Zhongli held his chin and thought for a while, and indeed he did not feel any movement of the ancient demon god escaping from the secret realm.

He nodded and continued:

"It's noon now. Do you want to go to Liyue Harbor with me for tea?"

"Oh? Zhongli is treating us?" Li Qiuzhi asked.

"Of course. It's recorded in the account of Wangsheng Hall."

Zhongli changed from standing with his hands behind his back to hugging his arms, and spoke with a calm expression on his face.

"."

I didn't expect that a serious guy like you would also make a serious joke, Li Qiuzhi complained inwardly.

He nodded slightly:
"Well, we also need to go to Liyue Harbor to eat something. It's rare for Zhongli to treat us anyway, so of course we have to go."

"I don't think I'm a stingy person." Zhongli shook his head helplessly, then looked at the two girls next to Li Qiuzhi and asked doubtfully:

"May I ask who these two are?"

"Ah, hello, I am Barbara, the prayer minister of West Wind Church."

"I am an apprentice knight of the Knights of Favonius."

Barbara and Noelle were a little nervous facing Zhongli, a man whose temperament revealed he was not an ordinary person.

"The Church of Favonius, the Knights of Favonius? So you are visitors from Mondstadt. Very good. I am Zhongli, a guest of the Hall of Rebirth.

“Speaking of which, as a member of Liyue, we naturally cannot lose etiquette.

"Let's go to Liuli Pavilion this time. Let me entertain these two distinguished guests from Mondstadt on behalf of Liyue."

Zhongli stroked his chin and nodded slightly.

"You guys, you're treating us and Liuli Pavilion and all that, you don't need my help with anything, do you?"

Li Qiuzhi seemed to see through him.

".I do need your help with a little task. Let's talk over dinner later."

Zhongli put his hands behind his back again. He was not embarrassed even if his thoughts were guessed. He just walked on the road by himself.

"Hey, distinguished guest or something." Noelle touched the hair on the side of her face a little embarrassedly. She felt that she was not worthy of being a distinguished guest.

"Haha, ok." Li Qiuzhi laughed twice, indicating that there was no problem.

Then he took Barbara and Noelle and followed Zhongli who had left earlier.

"Mr. Honorary Knight, is this gentleman your friend?"

Barbara asked curiously.

The white silk stockings tightly covered the soft legs, extending from the knee-length skirt to outline the soft and clear lines of the knees.

Continue to wrap the shapely calf and reach into the lapel of the short boots that were moving back and forth.

Noelle, who was wearing armored boots and making slight noises while stepping on the ground, also cast a curious look over.

"Uh." Li Qiuzhi looked at Zhongli, thought for a moment and said:
"Yes, he is indeed a friend. He just introduced himself. He is a guest official of the leading funeral industry company, Wangshengtang. His name is Zhongli.

"But this is just his superficial identity. In fact, he is secretly..."

When he said the latter sentence, he deliberately showed a look that kept people in suspense.

"What is it?" Barbara and Noelle's fair faces showed curious expressions and asked.

Li Qiuzhi nodded with satisfaction, and did not continue to keep the secret. He coughed lightly and said:
"Zhongli is secretly a very knowledgeable polymath, who knows everything from astronomy to geography, and is familiar with all history, both ancient and modern.

"Maybe he also knows the identity of the monster sealed in the ruins just now!"

"Eh, really?!"

Hearing Li Qiuzhi praising Mr. Zhongli so much, he even knew about the secret ruins hidden underwater.

Barbara and Noelle couldn't help but feel curious.

"Of course, don't you think so, Zhongli?" Li Qiuzhi patted his chest and asked Zhongli in front of him.

Zhongli, who was walking in front, was somewhat speechless. He shook his head and replied:
"It's a bit too much to say that I know astronomy, geography, and the past and present. I just happen to have a good memory and haven't forgotten what I learned in the past."

Ah, yes, yes, five or six thousand years have passed, right, Li Qiuzhi complained in his heart.

"Wow, that looks pretty awesome."

Barbara and Noelle thought Zhongli was saying that he had not forgotten what he had learned in class.

Then, because he did not forget the knowledge he learned at that time, he was able to become the knowledgeable person in Li Qiuzhi's words.

For a moment, they were also a little curious about what kind of content would be taught in Liyue’s school!

"Haha, since you have nothing to do, I'll tell you the story of the ancient demon god sealed in the secret underwater realm of Bishuiyuan."

Zhongli, who was experienced, naturally understood that Li Qiuzhi wanted him to talk about the origin of the pitch-black snake, and he did not refuse.

"The demon sealed in the secret realm is named 'Bolaiye'. His true form is a coiled black snake. He was severely injured in the demon war and hid in Bishuiyuan. He was then worshipped by the snake people."

Zhongli slowly told the story about the giant black snake "Bolaiye".

While Barbara and Noelle were absorbed in the story, Li Qiuzhi found that they were walking faster, as if they could shrink the distance into an inch.

Each step is clearly a normal walk, but each step can span two or three hundred meters.

No need to guess, this is obviously the masterpiece of the Rock Prince mentioned above. He probably calculated the time needed to tell his story and the distance to shrink the earth into an inch.

When the story about the pitch-black snake was finished and Zhongli stopped talking, Li Qiuzhi and his group arrived outside the archway of Liyue Harbor.

Carriages, bicycles, and many pedestrians made the place look very busy. Barbara and Noelle seemed to have not yet reacted. After listening to Zhongli's story, they nodded and concluded:
“So that’s how it is. The black snake was injured in the war between demons and gods and hid in the Bishuiyuan to recuperate.

"During this process, he devoured many lives with the help of the snake people, and after recovering from his injuries, he set his sights on the Liyue people.

“Then it attracted the attention of the Rock King, and a fierce fight broke out between the two sides, with the pitch-black snake soon losing the upper hand.

“In the end, it was so abominable that it devoured all the snake people who offered sacrifices to it, and its strength became even stronger.

“But if you use this method that is despised by all things to become stronger, you will naturally not be a match for the Rock King.

"Eventually, the body, which was big enough to coil around a mountain, was made into a stone sculpture, and the soul was sealed in the stone sculpture forever."

Zhongli crossed his arms and expressed his appreciation for Barbara and Noelle who were listening attentively:
"Yes, that's what happened to the giant snake that coiled around the mountain."

Barbara and Noelle both nodded slightly, and just when they wanted to say a few words to Zhongli to thank him for saying this.

But suddenly they found that they had arrived in front of a huge city without knowing when.

The city is built against the sea and beside the mountains, with a very gentle height difference. The streets in the city are very busy and crowded with people.

The sea was full of merchant ships from various countries, making it very lively. Looking at this scene, the two couldn't help but sigh:

"Is this the city where thousands of ships gather - Liyue Harbor?" It was a completely different scene from Mondstadt.

"Yes, this Mr. Zhongli, who can communicate with gods, unknowingly moved us here while we were listening to the story."

Li Qiuzhi also sighed.

“It’s just a small trick. Even if I could become a god, I wouldn’t need your help.” Zhongli replied and continued to walk in front with a few people into Liyue Harbor.

In the city, Zhongli did not use his overly conspicuous ability to shrink the earth into an inch, but walked normally on the street.

By the way, I acted as a tour guide and introduced Barbara and Noelle to various things they saw on the street.

About half an hour later, Li Qiuzhi and his companions finally arrived at the Liuli Pavilion. It was just time for lunch.

The private rooms had all been booked, so they had to sit at the open table in the lobby on the first floor.

Although Li Qiuzhi wanted to be rude to Zhongli and directly ordered all the signature dishes of Liuliting to make him bleed heavily.

But considering that he couldn't eat so much, and this guy would still ask the waiter to put the bill on Wangsheng Hall, which is Walnut's property.

He still felt a little sorry for Maura, so he simply ordered a few popular signature dishes and some fruit snacks.

The rest depends on what Barbara and Noelle want to eat, and then we order a few dishes according to their ideas.

Although Wangshengtang is not short of that little bit of money, it still has to be considerate of Hutao.

While waiting for the food to be served, Zhongli quietly set up a soundproof barrier to prevent the sound from being heard by the people at the next table, then looked at Li Qiuzhi and said:
"I just heard that you possess the magical power of the 'Command Spell'. I would like to ask you for a favor."

Seeing Zhongli start talking about business, Li Qiuzhi also nodded seriously:
"No problem. As long as I can help, I won't refuse."

"Well." Zhongli picked up the tea prepared by the waiter, took a sip and explained, "I have an old friend who has become extremely manic due to 'wear and tear'.

"The seal I left behind may not last long. I hope you can set a 'Command Spell' for him to restrain his manic behavior.

"I don't want my old friend to accidentally break the seal and commit more crimes."

After hearing Zhongli's explanation, Li Qiuzhi, who knew the plot, basically guessed who the old friend he was talking about was.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be King Rāshtra.

In the plot, he was indeed sealed under the "Fulong Tree" by Zhongli, but perhaps because the seal had been in disrepair for a long time, he almost escaped.

Then naturally it was the Traveler who solved the problem, but of course Zhongli was the one who made the main contribution.

After all, according to what Zhongli said in the plot, the strength of King Ruota is similar to that of Zhongli.

Of course, Zhongli said this out of modesty. After all, if Ruota was stronger than Zhongli, he would not have been sealed by him for so many years.

However, since Zhongli said this, even if he is weak, he is not that weak. He should be at the level of a top demon god.

If Li Qiuzhi were to deal with it, he would probably be slapped away!
He thought for a moment and said to Zhongli:
“Of course I can help you with this, but you said that person is your old friend, so he must be quite capable, so you have to take the lead when the time comes.

"Otherwise I won't be able to defeat him, let alone set up the 'Command Seals' or something."

After saying that, he spread his hands, indicating that Zhongli himself had to exert great strength, otherwise he would not be able to knock out the Ruota Dragon King alone.

To set up the "Command Spell" you must defeat the opponent yourself, which means that Zhongli has to beat Ruota until he is almost unconscious.

Only if he delivers the final blow can the conditions be perfectly met, and this is for an existence that is so much stronger than himself.

Li Qiuzhi didn't know whether he could succeed.

"Haha, there is no problem with this. I will ask a few other friends to go with me when the time comes."

Zhongli could naturally sense that Li Qiuzhi was very powerful, but he had not yet grown to the point where he could deal with his old friend.

Therefore, he was naturally prepared to take action himself, and bring Liuyun, Jiangmo and others with him.

After all, it is not difficult to strengthen the seal to prevent Ruota from coming out, but it is also a bit difficult for him to knock out Ruota alone.

In order to avoid causing too much noise, it would be much easier if we asked the immortals to come and assist.

If the power of the "Command Seal" that Li Qiuzhi mentioned before is really reliable, then there is no need to worry about Rota breaking through the seal and posing a threat to Teyvat.

"Yeah, that's no problem. When are we going?"

Li Qiuzhi nodded and said.

As one of the elemental dragon kings, King Ruota possesses strength close to that of the top demon god Zhongli. He is also looking forward to how much experience points he can gain by defeating him personally.

People like Osel and the Black Snake, who have declined to the point of falling out of the Demon God realm, have 120,000 to 130,000 experience points.

Countless times more powerful than them, able to easily crush their top demon gods, then isn't it possible to directly upgrade their levels after defeating them?
Li Qiuzhi guessed with great anticipation.

"There is no time to lose. I will go to discuss this with Liu Yun and the others later and we will set off in the afternoon."

In addition to being very powerful, Zhongli is also a very stable person. In order to prevent any accidents, he is ready to implement the plan immediately.

Li Qiuzhi naturally had no objection to this. After all, Prince Yan was leading the team personally in the dungeon, so he felt very safe and there was no need to worry about the possibility of failure.

Barbara and Noelle probably understood what Li Qiuzhi and the others said.

He is Mr. Zhongli, the guest official of the Wangsheng Hall. He has a friend whose strength is comparable to that of a devil and he needs the help of Mr. Honorary Knight to seal him.

Hmm, something seems strange.
