Section 69
"Don't worry." Huaian said with certainty, "The Xuanyuan Sword is a divine weapon. No one can pull it out except the Emperor. Many people have been thinking about the Xuanyuan Sword throughout the ages. Well, there is one in Dihuazhou. There are so-called things every day. A martial arts master passed by to draw his sword, but what happened? I’ve never heard of it.”
Paimon exclaimed: "It's so magical. But when they come to draw their swords, they can take care of your business when they pass by, hehe~"
"That's what I said, but lately... alas, it's not peaceful." Huaian sighed.
"What's wrong?"
"This is strange. Monsters have been causing trouble in the Dihuazhou area recently. There are rumors that some people have seen evil spirits at night, which has caused a lot less people to come here recently. If it weren't for the Immortal Invitation Ceremony approaching, I'm afraid there won't even be any People dare to come.”
"Monster? Evil spirit? Then find someone to investigate."
"I searched, but it was useless. Some people went there and were beaten away by monsters, while others were scared away. In short, this matter is very mysterious."
Huai'an sighed again. During this period, he went to Liyue Port twice to hire people for this matter, but unfortunately there was no result.
We can't trouble that adult for such a trivial matter, he can only figure it out.
"To be honest, I have issued a reward of 100,000 molas to solve this matter. I hope it will end soon."
Paimon's eyes lit up: "How about leaving this matter to us!"
"You?" Huai'an looked at the two of them with a very doubtful expression: "What can you do?"
Paimon put his hands on his hips and raised his chest, looking proud: "Humph~ We just solved the dragon plague problem for Mondstadt. The traveler is now an honorary knight of Mondstadt!"
Huai'an was shocked: "So it was you who solved the dragon disaster? That's disrespectful."
It’s true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance. How can a little girl be able to fight a dragon?
And this little one, does it have some magical effect?
Ying puffed up her chest and said, "Leave it to me. You can leave anything to me."
If Mora gives enough, all the seven gods will be praised for you!
...
When Ying and Paimon returned to the dining table, they immediately talked about accepting the commissioned mission.
Since there is still some time left for the ceremony, they are not in a hurry to go to Liyue Port. If the envoy group cannot wait, then they can separate here.
Su Chen has long been used to this kind of running around to take on tasks. What kind of monsters, evil spirits, etc. In the end, it is just to fight the monster Namora.
"Let's go to Guiliji first. When you're done, come find us over there."
Su Chen said.
After so many years, he wanted to see how Guiliji was doing.
Guiliji was not destroyed after being rebuilt, which is the biggest change compared to the game.
In Liyue today, the ports close to the sea are naturally the most prosperous, but when it comes to Liyue's history, Guiliji is more valuable.
If Liyue Port precipitates wealth, then Guiliji precipitates history.
"Speaking of which, isn't that guy here?"
Su Chen said to himself.
"Who? Who are you talking about?"
Paimon was curious, but Su Chen wouldn't tell her.
After lunch, the envoys continued their journey.
The environment in Liyue today is much better than during the Demon God War.
There were no sudden natural disasters, and there were no demonic remnants everywhere. Along the way, Su Chen found that a feeling of 'happy' welled up in his heart.
I am happy for the peace and beauty of Liyue.
"It seems that this simulation has had a far greater impact on me than I expected."
As the Human Emperor, he would naturally be happy to see Liyue getting better.
And this emotion comes from the heart and is difficult to control.
"Sir, it's time to arrive at Guiliji."
The members of the envoy said.
The carriage drove along the flat road, and there were many people traveling along the way. When it arrived at the entrance of Guiliji, the alleys were bustling with people entering the city from far and near.
The Guiliji in front of us has grown several times larger than its original size after thousands of years of development.
When the carriage arrived at the entrance, they saw a purple-haired girl with a cat head and a Qianyan Army walking towards them.
He doesn't look very old, but he gives off a resolute and resolute look when he walks, and his eyes are pure and unhesitating. He is a capable person... so the Human Emperor thought.
"Hello, I am Yu Heng from the Seven Stars of Liyue. I heard that the Mondstadt delegation was visiting, so I came here to greet you... Who is Mr. Su Chen?"
After the girl introduced herself, she asked.
"Hello, I'm Su Chen." Su Chen stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Master Yu Hengxing, I have admired you for a long time."
"Just call me Keqing."
The reputation of Ke Qing, the Jade Heng Star of the Seven Stars, is known to everyone in Liyue.
Originally, she did not need to be responsible for welcoming the envoys, but it happened that there were some things that needed to be 'groundbreaking' for the Human Emperor Festival activities at Guiliji. Since the matter was serious and involved the Human Emperor, Ke Qing came over in person. have a look.
It just so happened that Su Chen came over with the Mondstadt delegation, and Qixing's eyes were naturally unavoidable along the way.
Speaking of which, Keqing was quite curious about the envoy from Mondstadt this time, because Su Chen was from Liyue, but he became the inspector general in Mondstadt, which was simply scary.
If this was a secret conspiracy, the Inspector-General would hold high the banner and give Mond a big surprise three days later, and Mond would return to Liyue from then on.
...well, that's obviously impossible.
"Everyone, let me take you for a walk first. Once the arrangements are made, I will go to Liyue Port with you."
"Good work."
Su Chen looked at Ke Qing with a smile on his face. He didn't feel like a gamer looking at his wife, but instead felt as if he was looking at a younger generation.
It's great that someone as capable as Keqing can appear in the Seven Stars of Liyue.
"Hmm?"
Keqing, who was walking beside Su Chen, seemed to have noticed something. She was keenly aware that Su Chen's eyes were a little strange, but out of politeness, she did not turn around and glare at Su Chen. Instead, she walked all the way to Guiliji and introduced the famous places in Guiliji to Su Chen and others.
"...As for the origin of Guiliji, I believe you have also heard that the Human Emperor led his people to settle here. Due to the influence of the war between the demon gods, this area was difficult to survive. The Human Emperor led people to migrate to Liyue Harbor. Later, the Human Emperor and the Emperor joined forces to quell the Liyue War, and then brought some people back to Guiliji. Therefore, Guiliji is actually the original birthplace of Liyue."
"Even before the end of the war between the demon gods, the Human Emperor unified the human race and founded a country with his own strength. Such a feat has never been achieved by even the powerful demon gods in ancient and modern times."
Keqing introduced Guiliji to the envoys with a proud tone.
The envoys nodded one after another. As guests, they naturally had to follow the host's words at this time.
"Such achievements are worthy of the title of Human Emperor."
"Liyue Human Emperor, I have heard of him for a long time and have admired him for a long time. Now I finally have the opportunity to come to Liyue to take a look."
"Yes, yes, Liyue is vast and rich in resources. It is indeed worth seeing more."
As he was speaking.
Su Chen suddenly said: "That's not right. Why do I remember that the Human Emperor did not come to Guiliji to build a city? This is the place where the Emperor of Rock led his people to originate. The Human Emperor should have been very weak at that time and could not compete for the territory, so he took people to the Yaoguang Beach area."
Keqing paused and frowned: "The Yaoguang Beach area, Mingyun Town is to the north and the snow mountain is close to the northeast. That area was covered by the cold wave that year. How could the Human Emperor take people to settle there? Besides, the Human Emperor is weak? Humph! He is an existence that can kill the demon god!"
That's because the cold wave didn't come at that time.
Who made up the history? Isn't this nonsense?
Su Chen spread his hands: "I'm not saying that the emperor is weak, he was just a little weak at that time. A place like Guiliji is obviously the center of the struggle, and he can't keep calm."
"You haven't seen it with your own eyes, how do you know that what I said is wrong?"
Keqing's tone was a little dissatisfied. Do you understand the emperor or do I understand the emperor?
It is obvious that she is more convinced of the historical truth that she has known since childhood.
Su Chen wanted to say something, but the people of the envoy group hurriedly grabbed him.
"Lord Su Chen, don't argue with her about these things. She is one of the seven stars."
"What's wrong with being one of the seven stars? My status as the inspector general of the Knights is not much lower than hers, right?"
"What I mean is that the seven stars must know more about Liyue history. Although you are a Liyue person, the history books you have been exposed to since childhood are definitely not so authoritative, right?"
I'm talking to you, you big-headed son.
Su Chen was speechless, but first of all, he was a Mondstadt envoy, and he knew the concerns of these people, so he chose to remain silent.
"Have you finished talking?" Keqing crossed her arms, and several grown men gathered together to whisper... Forget it, anyway, my job is just to take them to Liyue Port.
Originally, I wanted to tell Su Chen and others more about the great achievements of the Human Emperor, but Keqing felt that these outsiders probably wouldn't understand the greatness of the Human Emperor. The one who surpasses all men, the emperor among men, that is the glory that humans should shine.
Keqing always regrets why she couldn't be born in the same era as the Human Emperor?
Continuing forward, Keqing was silent for a long time until she arrived at the huge square in the center of Guiliji and came to the statue inside.
"This is the statue of the Human Emperor." Keqing said lightly, "In the thousands of years of history of Liyue, only the statue of the Emperor and the statue of the Human Emperor can be established as a symbol of the entire Liyue land. Not only that, there are statues of the Human Emperor everywhere in Liyue for people to worship."
"This is the statue of the Human Emperor, it's about the same size as the statue of Lord Barbatos."
The messengers raised their heads to look at it.
"Huh?" An envoy suddenly made a surprised sound, "Why do I feel that... this statue looks a bit like Lord Su Chen?"
After saying this, other envoys began to compare.
"Yes, it does look alike."
"Look at the nose and eyes, they have both."
"What nose and eyes, the most similar is the spirit."
Su Chen: "..."
"How is it possible!" Keqing snorted lightly, picking just anyone to touch the Lord Human Emperor? She shook her head and said, "Lord Human Emperor has a unique heroic appearance, how could His Excellency Su Chen look like Lord Human Emperor...?!"
Keqing's eyes fell on Su Chen's face.
She was not a person who looked at looks, she only needed to be able to do things, and she couldn't eat such a good-looking person, so she just greeted him politely when she greeted him just now.
After taking a closer look at this time, Keqing looked at Su Chen, and then looked up at the statue of the Human Emperor.
