People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 281 Wendy's God Tour Group Plan
"."

".This is the power and authority given by Osel. My friend, please keep it for now.
If you practice diligently on a daily basis, you should be able to accumulate some experience with the water element in advance, saving a lot of effort in the future."

Beyond the seal,

Having achieved his desired result, Zhongli teleported directly to Lin Feng who was observing Wuxiang Rock on the circular platform.

He handed a blue water drop that was spinning spontaneously in his hand to the key reinforcement who facilitated this negotiation.

"Ok?"

"Osel actually accepted your conditions, old man?"

"Based on its previous attitude, I thought it would be more difficult."

From Zhongli's performance, I guessed Osel's answer.
Lin Feng, who thought that this guy was difficult to deal with in the plot, was also a little surprised.

".Osel's judgment of the situation has always been clear, otherwise he would not have been able to gather the power of many oceans and become one of the last survivors in the Demon War."

"It was indeed still somewhat resentful of its past failures.

But after witnessing the existence of my friend, I think it also realized that the position of ruler is not omnipotent, so it is not so obsessed with the victory or defeat thousands of years ago. "

Zhongli shook his head and smiled, expressing his opinion of Osel.

".Is that so?"

After thinking about it, I found that it is indeed reasonable.

After all, if the gap is tiny, it will arouse the psychology of confrontation and comparison.

But if it becomes big enough, it will discourage people and make them lose the desire to compete.

Osel had witnessed the absolute gap in strength in previous battles.

It should have realized that if it didn't want to remain sealed until the day of its demise, agreeing to Zhongli's proposal would indeed be the best option.

After a brief pause, looking at Zhongli who seemed to be in a good mood, Lin Feng asked a question that had been on his mind:

".Speaking of which, I noticed that you seemed to be particularly concerned about persuading Osel to join. Is there any reason for that?"

Recalling that Zhongli always chose to suppress rather than destroy Osair,

He was also very curious about the reason behind the obviously different attitude towards other enemies in the plot.

After hearing Lin Feng's question, it seemed as if he had already prepared the relevant answer.
After a brief pause, Zhongli spoke directly:
".The reason is not complicated."

"If I must say, Liyue and even other countries today are actually lacking powerful demon gods like Osel who live in the ocean."

"——Since you are in charge of many things in Xumi, you should have discovered that the seven countries are particularly unbalanced in terms of sea power and land power, right?"

"."

".That's right.

Including Liyue, most countries have naval forces that are far weaker than conventional armies."

After thinking about it, Lin Feng found that Zhongli had indeed pointed out a problem that was common in Teyvat and was very different from his previous life:
——That is, all countries do not care much about their armed forces at sea, and there are almost no dedicated combat ships and troops.

From the perspective of the development thinking of conventional countries, this is obviously quite unreasonable.

It seemed that he had guessed that Lin Feng would have some questions.

Zhongli didn't keep the secret, but nodded and continued:

"——In fact, this is a very common historical legacy.

The main reason is actually closely related to powerful beings in the ocean like Osel."

".During the Demon God War, even though there were not as many demon gods as in Liyue,

However, due to the vast living space and abundant elemental power, there are also many powerful monster tribes like Chi."

After a brief pause, Zhongli looked at the very young god in front of him and asked a key question:

"——My dear friend, you should have seen the power of Osel in the previous confrontation.

Do you think that even if they build strong ships and weapons, ordinary humans can really fight against such powerful tribes on the sea?"

"."

After hearing Zhongli's question, Lin Feng seemed to be thinking about something.

After a moment, he shook his head and replied:
".This is indeed somewhat unrealistic.

No matter how perfect the armed forces are, as long as humans do not have the ability to survive in the water for a long time, they are not suitable for setting foot on the battlefield in the ocean. "

"——Having to rely on ships and being unable to maintain combat capabilities underwater are two disadvantages that are too fatal."

At this point, he actually already knew why the old man would deliberately keep Osel and was willing to spend time trying to persuade it.

——The reason is that the ocean battlefield of Teyvat does not welcome humans to join.
In this environment where there are a large number of extraordinary aquatic monsters and you have to face long-range attacks and underwater destruction from time to time,

It is indeed not practical to insist on forming a navy.

From this perspective, if there is a powerful demon like Osel as a barrier on the ocean, it would be of great significance to Liyue today.

——At least if the abyss invades again, the ocean will definitely become a forbidden zone for all abyss creatures.

After all, Osel is the "Demon of the Whirlpool", and his ability to mow down enemies at home is absolutely unquestionable.

Lin Feng: "."

By the way, from this point of view, it seems that the demon resources are the real core productivity of Teyvat.
Facing the situation where Osel, a giant water snake, was stronger than countless naval armies, Lin Feng suddenly realized the benefits of sealing the enemy:

——Compared to human power,
If we could trick a powerful demon god into joining our friendly forces, this might be enough to equal hundreds of years of development.

Fortunately, I not only have Apep, but also a unit that can fight on water.
Although it is still a little small now, it will grow up soon with the little yellow hair.
The reason why Lin Feng thought so was actually because Xumi's sea power was infinitely close to zero.

After all, there aren't many coastal areas there, so this aspect has never been given high priority. - And as Zhongli said, there is basically not much room for humans to intervene in the battlefield at sea, and it is usually left to the special forces of various countries.

Lanaro, Apep, later Chilong, and even the gods themselves
Anyway, it is much more reliable than letting humans drive the boat themselves and fight underwater monsters.

I found that the friend in front of me had completely understood what I meant.
Zhongli also smiled and said:
"——The life in the ocean is too blessed to be at home.
This is the case with ordinary monsters, let alone demon gods."

“Although dealing with Osel is not difficult for you,
But if my old rival really escapes from the seal and goes to other countries,

So, you can imagine how much trouble such a powerful demon god who can hide underwater and is good at controlling whirlpools, tsunamis, storms and rain clouds will cause. "

Because the power of the person in front of him is too strong, it is easy to have a lot of deviations from conventional cognition.

Sometimes, Zhongli would actually go out of his way to point out some blind spots for Lin Feng to prevent him from making omissions in his thinking.

"."

"If Osel escapes and hides in the deep sea of ​​other countries."

Thinking about this possibility from the perspective of the common people, Lin Feng instantly understood why Zhongli attached so much importance to this big water snake.

——I can only say that this kind of thing that can create tsunamis and storms without showing its head will be a big trouble to any country.

If he didn't come over, perhaps the original Xumi would not have the ability to deal with this guy.

It took a group of immortals and the Jade Pavilion to smash the incompletely unsealed weak Osel back into the seal, and the other party was actually not injured.

I did have some problems in judging the enemy's threat due to the huge gap in strength.

".I see."

"It seems that the authority of the Whirlpool is indeed of great value.
I will activate it as soon as possible after awakening the power of the rock. Thank you for your reminder this time."

Successfully corrected the distorted cognition in the normal way of Teyvatian people,

Lin Feng also put away the aura of authority from Osel in his hand.
After expressing his gratitude, he returned to Liyue Harbor with Zhongli, preparing to set off for the Xumi Awakening Rock after resting today.

at the same time.

As Lin Feng completely dealt with Osel and Ba Che, the two threats from the ocean,

A green-robed bard in Mondstadt, due north of Lonely Cloud Pavilion, also looked out at the ocean of Liyue, and was somewhat impressed by the efficiency of his two friends:
——Although Lin Feng told him that he was in a hurry, it was a bit too scary to complete the old man’s training in just a few days.

When I think about what kind of devilish training my new friend went through to achieve the current result,
Wendy, who had entered the "training ground" once out of curiosity but soon ran out due to boredom, shuddered and said that she absolutely did not want to live that kind of life.

Forget about the other side of rapid progress for now.
Wendy, who had come to Mondstadt on purpose, also turned his attention to the important things he was going to do:

——Before his friend took the Rock Dragon to Xumi, he came to check on Tevarin's condition and see if he could take him along to make up the number.

He skillfully came to the place where Tevarin was sleeping.

Wendy looked at the wind element barrier around her that had not weakened at all, and as expected, she sighed:

——It’s obvious that it’s still recovering. If external forces suddenly intervene, it might backfire and interfere with the recovery process that is about to be completed.

Some people closed their eyes unwillingly and tried to integrate their own strength into the seal.
Wendy wanted to see if the Wind Dragon had regained consciousness.

——If possible, at least say hello first.
After all, because of my previous sleep, I haven't been able to visit this old friend for a long time.

"."

".Alas, although he should be waking up soon, there is still no response."

"——I should have snatched it from the old man earlier and asked my friend to come to Mondstadt first. But you are still not decisive enough."

Thinking about Lin Feng's full schedule in recent times,
Wendy originally thought that since Tevarin was about to regain consciousness, why not wait for it to wake up and then go to Liyue to find someone to help him recover.
For a moment, I regretted my hesitation when I first met him:
——If I had known earlier, I would have done what the old man did and bet all in from the beginning.

After this period of time, Liyue, the country that suffered the most during the Demon God War, was as clean as if it had been plowed.

Not only were all the remaining issues mostly resolved, but there was even a Rock Dragon that he might not have been able to defeat even in his prime, which made Venti very envious.

After the power of the rock element was restored,
Liyue will not only completely get rid of the residual influence left by the past war between demons and gods,
Maybe there will be another former demon god as helper.

"One, two, three, four."

"——How many demons are there on the old man's side?!"

".I am so strong and have so many helpers. If this continues, I will be so envious that I won't even have an appetite for cider."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt she was at a disadvantage. She decided in her heart that she would bring her new friend to Mondstadt as a guest no matter what.
——Mond is like spring all year round, peaceful and harmonious.
Not only are the residents friendly, but there are also so many famous wines. No matter how you think about it, it must be one of the best countries for tourism, right?

"."

".It just so happens that a few troublesome guys have come recently,
Although it is a headache for me, if he is willing to come, there should be no problem. "

Thinking of the "Sword of the Last Light" of the Kingdom of Kanria and the Executor of Solstice,

I found that because of my previous slumber, all kinds of strange forces came to Mondstadt because they didn't dare to go to Liyue and Xumi.
Although no major problems have occurred yet, Wendy naturally doesn't have any good feelings towards these guys.

——Not to mention the Fatui and the Treasure Thieves, why would even the illegal Gilded Brigade that escaped from Xumi come to Mondstadt? !
"."

I feel powerless to complain about this situation.

After Wendy strengthened Tevarin's barrier beside her, she also made up her mind:

“——Forget it, never mind. Regardless, whether it’s the Heart of God or something else, the worst that can happen is that I can just throw it away in one go.”

"Wait until the matter of Liyue is finished. Otherwise, I might as well try to invite a few gods from Xumi and the people from the old man's side to come over for a tour."

"——Once they all come here, these strange guys shouldn't come to Mondstadt anymore, right?"

After much thought, I feel that I have been slacking off for too long and my deterrent power is too weak.

Wendy, having learned her lesson, decided to turn over a new leaf and work harder.
By using this "working hard" approach, Mond's deterrence can be improved from the source.
