Chapter 101
Meanwhile, on the balcony of the Wanshu Inn, the trio sitting at the table watched as divine wrath fell upon the mountain range.
"Does this happen to Miss Fischl often?" Zhong Li couldn't help but ask the knight girl.
"I... don't know." Eola answered awkwardly.
"Hmm. I see." The Archon replied, smiling at his own thoughts, and soon the riot of the elements ended and an absolutely calm princess appeared before those present.
"Please forgive me for this outburst." I apologized, bowing before returning to my seat.
"Oh, it's okay, but I must admit, I'm curious about the reason why you were so upset.
"Hmm, well, you could say that I'm a fan of Ke Qing and the news that she was married was extremely unexpected for me. - I replied, a little embarrassed, before allowing a hint of bloodthirstiness to appear in my intention, I made a request.
- Mister Morax, if you happen to have a meeting with this Yun Che in the near future, could you convey my warning to him?
- Depends on what kind of warning. - The man asked calmly.
- Oh, it's actually simple, if he dares to offend Ke Qing by cheating on her with another girl, then I will personally make sure that he regrets what he did.
- Truly, the gods love skeptics. - Zhong Li chuckled, and then added. - Don't worry, there is no need for such a warning, after all, Jade Equilibrium has many influential friends, and none of them will allow him to offend such a wonderful girl with impunity.
Judging by the rather creepy smile of the Archon, he himself would not mind teaching the guy a lesson, should he commit such a serious offense.
- I'm glad we understand each other so well. - I said happily, not paying attention to the fact that Eole and Xiao were starting to feel uneasy in our company.
- Dear guests. Your order. - Verr Goldet's voice suddenly rang out, bringing us food on a tray.
Soon, along with the first dishes brought to us, the entire table seemed to be about to burst from the abundance of delicacies. Fortunately, thanks to my special body constitution, I could eat as much as I wanted without consequences, so listening to the advice of an experienced Adept, I enjoyed Li Yue's cuisine.
- I wonder what Nirvana of the Night looks like now. I have undoubtedly read the limited series of books Flowers for Princess Fischl, but I am sure that there are differences from reality. - Zhong Li asked curiously, not doubting my identity at all.
- Well, to be honest, at the moment, Nirvana of the Night is still in the recovery stage. It's only been 4 years since I woke up, and my only subjects are knights and advisors who accompany my soul in its eternal cycle. However, if you're interested, I wouldn't mind showing you my domain. - Having said this, I created a portal to my world right in front of the castle so that those present could appreciate its grandeur.
- Your offer is undoubtedly tempting, but I can't leave Liyue yet before I can officially retire.
- I understand. - I chuckled, knowing full well what kind of retirement he was talking about, and closed the portal. - In that case, know that you will always be welcome in my kingdom.
- Morax, do you want to leave us? - Xiao asked reservedly.
- No. - the Archon shook his head. - It's just that when the time comes, I will hand over the management of Liyue to the worthy, and I myself will retire. I think five thousand years is enough time to deserve such a trifle. By the way, Xiao, it is quite possible that you too will soon be able to free yourself from the burden of being Yaxoi.
"No, that is my calling." the demon slayer refused sharply before falling silent.
"And what plans do you have, young lady? I have heard of the prejudices regarding the Lawrence clan in Mondstadt, and I can clearly see that in regards to you, they are false." Zhong Li addressed the silent Eole.
"I want to clear the name of my clan." the girl bluntly stated something she usually did not tell anyone, but perhaps it was all due to Zhong Li's divine status.
"An excellent goal." the Archon nodded. "However, know that if you suddenly feel that you have reached a dead end, you can always find a new home in Liyue.
"Morax, it is not nice to try to lure one of the best knights of Mondstadt using her position." I spoke out in response to such impudent behavior.
- My apologies. I couldn't help myself, after all, the backbone of every country is its talented young generation, although some old people tend to forget something so obvious.
- Yeah, and a certain old bard could do with finally waking up. - I grumbled
- You shouldn't be so strict with him. Barbatos had a hard time with the catastrophe 500 years ago, and it killed many of us.
- Yes, I know that in the end, only you two remained from the original seven archons. And in fact, it's not that I have anything against him, he just seems too carefree sometimes.
- He is the god of freedom, but I didn't expect that you even knew the truth about the Electro archon. - Geo Archon smiled wryly.
- You know, something tells me that this Yun Che of yours knows no less. However, the main thing is that he is not another madman who, in pursuit of his own pleasure, will begin to destroy the destinies of others.
- I doubt that he is like that. - Morax shook his head. - He seemed to me to be a rather calm person, and at the same time, he seems to be sincerely in love. However, it seems that it would not hurt to keep an eye on him.
- If you allow me, I can take on this role. - Xiao suggested.
- If you want it. - Zhong Li nodded. - Besides, he has already signed the contract and is one of us.
