Morax, the Rock Demon, is said to possess the immense power to move mountains and fill seas.

His elder brother, the Sword Demon God Breus, is even more terrifying.

With a mere wave of his hand, he could cleave a mountain in two.

Yuan Shang: "Brius? Is that Master Su's demon name?"

Paimon: "Hehehe, no wonder he threw it away, it doesn't sound good."

Fukalos: "He should be called Fukalosev."

Buyer: "You're good at playing word games, second-generation water god."

Heureia felt a headache coming on.

She may be weak, but that doesn't mean she can't think.

I heard recently that a bear-shaped Stove Demon named Maxius was born near Liyue.

The Sword Demon God fought him in a fierce battle, the outcome of which is unknown.

But after that, Maxius began teaching people in Liyue how to prepare more nutritious ingredients.

During that period, Liyue and the Salt Plains maintained very close relations, mainly exchanging supplies for the salt crystals held by Heureia.

Furthermore, the additional supplies are intended for Heureia to process these salt crystals into edible fine salt.

"Lady Heureya..."

The guard's voice interrupted Heureia's thoughts.

She nodded slightly, signaling the guards to take Zhongli and the other two to her meeting room for a private talk.

[After the guards left.]

Heureia sighed deeply.

Using her woman's intuition, she sensed that Zhongli's visit this time wasn't to discuss a deal as it had before.

Based on past experience, it's unlikely that Liyue would send Morax, the Geo Archon, if it were simply a matter of negotiating a deal.

[They were even accompanied by two immortals.]

【...】

[A land of salt.]

[In Heureia's private conference room.]

[Zhong Li's explanation made his expression grow increasingly worse.]

"So, the Geo Archon Morax's purpose in coming here is to have me, like Maxius, go to Liyue and serve Liyue."

Heureia confirmed weakly.

"Yes," Zhongli replied immediately.

"Your elder brother has taken a liking to your salt-making abilities and hopes you will pledge your allegiance to him."

Since you've chosen to come...

Zhongli didn't want to beat around the bush with Heulia.

[According to what Su Bai had told him before, what they needed to do was not to treat Heureia in the same allied relationship as before.]

The two sides exchanged supplies for each other.

[What Su Bai wants to do now is to bring Heureia under his control and make her serve Liyue.]

Yuan Shang: "As expected of Master Su, when forming alliances, you still need to exchange resources, but he directly gives you a resource integration."

Sora: "Yuan Shang, whose subordinate are you? You're being too blatant in your licking of your brother-in-law. He clearly coveted Heuria's abilities and wanted to annex her. In essence, he's an invader."

Daisreb: "During the Demon War, it was all about mutual invasion. In the end, only a few Demons were left, and seven were chosen to be the Seven Rulers."

Ilmin: "Actually, Su Bai's idea of ​​unification is to allow many demon gods to survive."

Rheindorf: "But the prerequisite is loyalty."

Alice: "Alas, but demons are all quite proud. Most of them would rather die in battle than surrender. If Zhongli and Su Bai weren't twin demon brothers, there would definitely have been a great battle between them."

Zhongli: "Sorry, I was just lucky, there's nothing I can do about it."

Wendy: "Old Deng, you're not going to cause a huge upheaval in Mondstadt, are you?"

Zhongli: "Well, judging from the current situation, if you don't choose to surrender to us, it might not be as simple as just the celestial phenomena."

Hu Tao: "Hey? Your Majesty, are you going to smash the Wind God Barbatos?"

Barbara: "Waaaah, you Liyue people are bullying me! I'm going to accuse you of your acts of aggression!"

Diluc: "Don't get excited. Perhaps, given Lord Barbatos's personality, he'll sell Mondstadt after a few drinks."

Wendy: "Grandpa Diluc, you..."

Tvalin: "The Rock King and Master Su discussed it last night and realized they'd never fought such an easy battle before."

Wendy: "No way, I'm going to stand up for myself this time."

Ningguang: "Lord Fengshen, is the wine at Wanmintang delicious?"

Wendy: "Hey, you know what, it's really good."

Qin: "..."

Xiangling: "Looking at it this way, Guoba is the most sensible one. After being beaten up, he immediately joined in and started the stove."

Guoba: "?"

Heuria remained silent.

Zhongli continued, "I think you should be aware of your brother's strength. The reason he sent me to find you is because my temperament is much gentler than his."

"The rules are ordained by Heaven; those above will not interfere with our competition for the title of Teyvat Demon God."

"With my brother Su Bai's abilities, it's only a matter of time before he becomes the Demon Emperor of Teyvat."

"And with your abilities, it seems you can't protect your people."

[Zhongli pointed out her weaknesses.]

Heureia felt a sudden pang of sadness.

Indeed, if Liyue truly intended to wage war against her, Heureia would have no choice but to wait for her demise.

However, for a demon god to surrender to others is no different from betraying his people who trusted him.

Imagine if the people learned that the god they deeply believed in had pledged allegiance to other demons.

How painful this must be for the people!

[It's as if he could read Heureia's mind.]

Zhongli waved his hand calmly and said, "I know you are also a benevolent demon god who deeply loves your people."

"I don't really want to lead them to face an invasion by other demon gods."

"At least you've pledged allegiance to your brother, and the Salt Plains have fallen to Liyue. Then the people here are the people of Liyue, and we will not allow any demon to trample upon them."

【"you..."】

[Heureia was about to vehemently condemn Zhongli and Su Bai's domineering and aggressive behavior.]

But in the end, they kept quiet and didn't say anything.

·· ·····Requesting flowers··· ···

The War of Demons is, in essence, a game of demons killing each other.

Even if Su Bai and Zhong Li did attack her Salt Land, that would be one thing.

"Heureia, this is a golden opportunity for you. I hope you will consider it carefully."

"Making a decision as soon as possible will allow the people of the Salt Land to receive our protection as quickly as possible."

"In the brutal war between demons and gods, only overwhelming power can truly protect one's people."

Zhongli continued to explain the pros and cons to put pressure on Heulia.

However, after a long silence...

Heureia said calmly, "Take me to see the Sword Demon God, Bress..."

Upon hearing this, Zhongli frowned slightly.

[Interrupting Heureia's conversation, he said, "I can take you to see your brother, but I must warn you beforehand."]

"My brother has long since abandoned the name Bress."

"You can call him the Sword Demon God or Su Bai, but absolutely do not mention his demon god name."

"Otherwise, it would be very difficult for me to protect you."

【…】

Heureia had made plans along the way.

[Su Bai's desire to surrender likely stems from his interest in her salt-making abilities.]
