Genshin, but the real world

Chapter 63 - Chapter 62
The impact of the falsified contract can be large or small.

Obviously, the contract in Jiang Qing's hand is like this.

Its appearance is full of logical loopholes, but the aristocrats are willing to accept it, even if they know that there is a problem with the contract, they are willing to take it as true.

Because this is their way of life.

This contract must be true, and only if it is true can they give up the interests of the aristocratic faction logically.

This incident directly led to a defection within the aristocratic faction, disintegrated the last stumbling block on Vanessa's path, and allowed the Zephyr Knights to easily win.

The result is similar to expected.

Some nobles were liquidated, but some just lost their power, but they are still passed down to this day.

There is a difference between top-down change and bottom-up change, which tends to be more decisive and brutal.

Vanessa led the latter, but in the end she let some of these nobles survive for the sake of Mond's overall situation.

Lawrence was able to live probably because of this reason.

Of course, who is killed by the butcher knife is not random.

Even if the culprit can survive, the other "nobles attached to Lawrence" can of course survive as long as they surrender and continue to pay for Mond and the Mond people.

Objectively speaking, the survival of Lawrence appeased the hearts of most nobles at that time.

Because in that era, basically no nobles would give up becoming Lawrence's ally.

Gunnhild and Legenfind had the confidence, but how could other nobles resist Lawrence's kindness?
Active or forced, in short they are allies.

It really needs to be liquidated, there are really not many clean nobles in the entire city of Mond.

In a way Barbatos is indeed the best bard.

Poets sing the tales of others, and He makes them for the poets to sing.

But for Morax, this matter is a bit unauthentic.

On this hangs his sigil, and the sigil bears his power.

This also means that He has meddled in the internal affairs of other countries, and it was a big move enough to overthrow the regimes of other countries and take the ownership back to Liyue.

The old man frowned slightly.

Zhong Li could tell at a glance whose handwriting it was.

Needless to say, no one is so boring except this guy Barbatos.

Obviously, he could easily solve the trouble by himself, but he still chose a proxy to deal with it.

If Barbatos allowed the aristocratic faction to fight against the Zephyr Knights led by Vanessa, regardless of the outcome, Mond's national power would be defeated for more than hundreds of years.

So He used a contract to break up the resistance of the aristocracy, and at the same time gave Vanessa the power to replace the contract that the people forgave.

This contract collapsed the confrontational environment within Mond, quelled the chaos in Mond City in just a few days, and re-established the rule of the Zephyr Knights.

The key is to reduce the occurrence of bloody conflicts and preserve Mond's national strength.

After that, Vanessa seized the opportunity and almost cut the power of the nobles.

So much so that when Diluc's father Cripps died later, Leigenfind had no way to ask the Knights for an answer.

The value of the contract is unquestionable, and it can be seen from the results that the Monds have benefited anyway.

But Zhongli has a headache.

He has nothing he can do about Barbatos.

This guy crossed the border between Mond and Liyue 2000 years ago. At that time, he thought that Barbatos had encountered some trouble that could not be solved, so he planned to ask or help out himself.

I didn't expect that this guy just came to invite me to drink...
Without Barbatos' efforts many times, there would be no reception where the Seven Gods gathered in Liyue.

It's a pity that time changed later, and even the positions of the Seven Gods were changing.

The gods of the new generation have already forgotten the responsibility of the gods to "guide mankind".

Of course, Zhong Li doesn't care about this either.

What other people's gods think has nothing to do with him, but Barbatos, this is really not an easy person to deal with.

He has a good impression of Barbatos, and he can be called an old friend.

He has not seen Barbatos for a long time now, when all his friends passed away.

But this contract is indeed a headache... Fortunately, it is already in my own hands.

As long as you find a chance to seal it up or simply destroy it, there is nothing to worry about.

But the contract already has an owner.

If you want to get, you have to pay first.

It's not that Jiang Qing didn't expect this possibility.

The seal of Lord Yan was hung on the contract, even if it was a forgery, it was impossible for him to not notice it at Liyue Port.

But what Jiang Qing expects is a certain immortal, such as Gan Yu who works directly for the emperor, to solve this problem.

Unexpectedly, Dijun came forward directly.

The old man's ostensible identity is also the guest minister of [Wangshengtang].

Ask him what he wants, if you ask for too much, it doesn't fit his status, if you ask for too little... wouldn't it be a loss? !
"The owner of this contract is owned by a friend of mine, that is, the leader of the aristocratic faction on the other side of the contract, the noble daughter of the Lawrence family, Miss Yula."

Before asking prices all over the sky, most people will talk about difficulties and hardships to raise prices.

It's as if the master lockpicker doesn't need half an hour, maybe half a minute can solve the problem.

The same remuneration, but if you really use it for half a minute, the other party will feel that it is not worth it.

You have to make him feel that the effort is worthwhile, and he will be happier when the other party pays.

Of course Jiang Qing would abide by this rule.

Nut had a narrow smile on his face.

The city's business experience covers a wide range, and Hu Tao is not a businessman, but she also knows how to count these people.

Watchers never worry about things getting too big, they only worry that things are not big enough.

"Her family lost almost everything in this revolution, and in order to reassure the nobles, Lawrence survived." Jiang Qing said, "If you know the history of Mond, you should also know that, The meaning of Lawrence's survival."

Zhong Li nodded slightly: "It should be so."

"If you don't want to continue to break out conflicts, but take everything from the nobles to Mond, then Lawrence's life is indeed more valuable than his death."

Jiang Qing continued to increase the value of her bargaining chips with the characteristic of a businessman who was not afraid of death.

"Since the revolution, Lawrence has survived for a thousand years." He didn't mind describing Yula's situation in a bad way, or in other words, what he described might not be bad enough.

When the words are exhausted, even if he opens up, he can't make a god empathize with him.

"And not long ago, the Lawrence family finally left Mond City at the cost of abandoning the family's foundation and the lives of most people." Jiang Qing's expression was quite heavy.

In fact, he and Yura didn't communicate much, and everyone trusted each other more when they were learning swordsmanship.

"And this should be the most valuable chip in her hand." Jiang Qing said, "She hopes to give this chip to Seven Stars in exchange for Lawrence's foothold here."

"But she was also worried that Qixing would not be able to give a suitable bargaining chip, because she had just lost a lot, but the shackles were heavy, and she had no intention of letting go."

Zhong Li's face is as usual.

"I understand." He nodded, "If this is the case, then I'm afraid I really can't come up with enough chips to make a deal."

Zhongli is determined to close the contract and help Barbatos finish it.

But if it was as Jiang Qing said, his identity wouldn't give him enough leverage.

It was the last of Lawrence's valuables, and it was for the beginning of a family.

And he is just a guest in the pastoral hall.

"However, I also know a friend who may be very interested in this kind of thing." Zhong Li's words were unhurried, "If Mr. Jiang Qing doesn't mind, you might as well ask my friend to slap your eyes. Maybe she's willing to pay a good chip."

"It couldn't be more suitable." Jiang Qing clapped her hands in response, smiling gently, "It's a trouble to put this kind of thing in our hands after all."

"If it can be cashed out as soon as possible and the value can be exchanged as soon as possible, I think Yula will be very grateful."

It was an accident, but Jiang Qing wasn't nervous at all.

He has already realized in Mond that there are far more variables in this world than he can calculate.

It's just a little thing.

"Do you still know this kind of friend?" Hu Tao poked Zhongli's shoulder, "Do you think she has any interest in the business of Xiangshengtang?"

Zhong Li lowered his brows and eyes, and his breathing changed for a moment.

"Master, the funeral ceremony, the business of the Changsheng Hall does not require us to take the initiative to come to the door." His tone was as usual, "According to common sense, it should be the business that came to us."

Jiang Qing heard some helplessness.

Although the service industry has a credo of "feel at home", but the business of Xiangshengtang, no matter how you think about it, it can't be counted in it.

Feel at home...Although everyone inevitably has this process, it is rare for those who come to the door proactively.

Hu Tao is still a normal person in terms of cognition. It is hard to say what kind of philosophy is behind her to achieve this level.

Jiang Qing has no intention of digging into the little girl's past.

His knowledge of Hu Tao was limited to the game, but in the game, the Hall Master Hu had no role to play.

In addition to the legendary characters that come with five-star characters, her sense of existence is often concentrated on the position of Huo C.

Of course, after Xiao Gong came out, she became Huo A again.

This is a character similar to Yura.

Their influence on the mainline is almost nonexistent.

In the real world where event missions, personal legend missions, and mainline missions conflict, I am afraid that even Ying herself may not have the opportunity to get to know these people.

Jiang Qing is now busy "cultivating immortals" and has little interest in the stories behind these people.

However, Master Hu's personal background story is very interesting.

Her personal story is clearly written - as one of the very few survivors who dared to stay in the "border", Walnut's deeds may have moved an unspeakable god.

The current structure of Tivat is seven rulings.

And even before that, the so-called First Throne and Second Throne were the secrets of the future world.

After all, according to Ying's development, by the time of the sixth element at the latest, she should be able to directly challenge the Seventh Consul.

At that time, she can push all the way, and it is time to bring out a more difficult enemy.

The seed sent from the future to the past in the hands of the Raiden Master is a proof of their power.

Orobus just knew that he would be forced to give away his head.

Jiang Qing is not interested in digging into the story behind Hall Master Hu, just look at the unlucky Orobas, and you will know that this world really has the mystery of being targeted just by reading his name.

He's still young and doesn't want to die yet.

"Then it's a deal." Zhong Li looked at Hu Tao, "Mr. Jiang Qing, please wait for a while. We will meet at [Liu Li Pavilion] at noon tomorrow."

Since a problem has arisen, it is necessary to hurry up and solve it, and if it is not resolved, problems will arise.

Zhongli has many candidates who can afford this bargaining chip.

But Dadalia was ruled out by him first.

The general work is okay, in order to let Dadalia pay the bill, let him know by the way.

But there is no need for this contract to fall into the hands of fools.

Of course Dadalia will open a good bargaining chip, but holding it in the hands of fools is just to cause trouble for everyone, it is unnecessary.

"Then trouble Mr. Zhongli." Jiang Qing agreed.

whoever he is.

Anyway, since Zhongli dared to attract people to buy it, he dared to sell it.

Can't Zhongli introduce this kind of thing to a person who will threaten Liyue's safety?
"Okay, both of you, your business negotiation is over, it's my turn." Hu Tao moved a chair and sat beside Zhongli.

"Master Hu is talking about business with me?" Jiang Qing was a little taken aback, "Didn't Master Hu bring me here at the behest of Mr. Zhongli?"

She won't talk to me about when I will reopen, and then recommend the services of the Pastoral Church to me, right?

"Of course not!" Hu Tao shook her head, "When you came here, didn't you want to see the things about the teaching of immortals? There are many in the Hall of Rebirth."

Part of the expensiveness of knowledge lies in the narrowness of its transmission. The more blocked the channels of transmission, the higher its value.

Its own value, the artificially created needs and thresholds, and finally the bargaining chips needed to buy something.

The so-called "dharma" left over from the era of immortal teaching is naturally very precious.

But it is actually of little value to humans.

Because this is simply not something that normal people can learn.

The "people" who were able to learn these things in that era continued to practice and improve, and passed them on, and finally forged the secret arts of the alchemist lineage and the martial arts of the sect.

These things are for real people to learn, but you still need the eyes of God.

Without the Eye of God, there is no way to control the elemental power.

[The Hall of Rebirth] has a long history, and began to run around the land of Liyue during the War of the Demon God.

Of course, it retains some relevant knowledge, which cannot be said to be comprehensive, but it is enough to broaden your horizons.

Really want to learn, Hu Tao is not optimistic about Jiang Qing.

This has a lot to do with talent, and more directly, it has a lot to do with birth.

To learn these Dhammas, one needs a quality.

A trait that is not present at birth and is difficult to acquire later.

The only thing Jiang Qing can ask for now is the blessing of the gods.

It is impossible for him to suddenly discover that his father or mother is actually a fairy, and then make himself special.

And Liyue Land has only one god, and he has never done such a thing.

Jiang Qing will not be a special case.

"What does Master Hu want?" Jiang Qing took a deep breath.

Hu Tao looked at Jiang Qing with a smile, "Stop it first, I will let you help later."

what do you want?
Then you need something too.

At this moment, Hu Tao also remembered the name Jiang Qing.

Recently, this name has been repeatedly pulled out as a typical example of the opposite.

A complete failure in the business field, and then another failure after another, is indeed considered "somewhat famous", and it doesn't sound good.

Hu Tao didn't know that Jiang Qing had already collected chips. She only knew that according to this statement, Jiang Qing should be poor to a certain extent.

There is no need for him to help me at this time.

Walnut is not in a hurry.

As an investment, books and knowledge will not disappear even if they are shown to Jiang Qing, and they will still be kept in the hall of death.

She didn't lose anything because of it, and naturally she wouldn't be eager to get something in return.

Jiang Qing replied without hesitation, "Okay! If Hallmaster Hu has any request, please tell me."

Xiangshengtang has a special status.

In the future, after the old man retires, his body will be handed over to the Pastoral Hall for placement.

The old man may have made some arrangements for this, but the professionalism of [Wangshengtang] must have been recognized.

From Immortal and Qixing's point of view, [Palace of Rebirth] can take on the important task of holding a ceremony for sending immortals to the emperor.

This recognition is not cheap and has special value.

It is not a disadvantage to take the line of walnuts and accept the favor of the other party.

Zhong Li took a sip of tea.

He is not very curious about Jiang Qing, because he is not special.

Especially when Ying appeared, Jiang Qing seemed even more ordinary.

The contact this time was just to clean up the situation for an old friend.

With Jiang Qing's current traits, he is indeed a talented person.

But Liyue has established the country for 700 years, and he has seen too many so-called talents.

Walnut smiled broadly.

She's been very bored recently, maybe all the fun is on this person in front of her.

"Let's go, follow me first." She beckoned, and then walked to the study first.

"Let me tell you first, even if it's an immortal teaching, don't expect too much." Hu Tao said lazily, "That's not something prepared for you and me."

The so-called method is actually a skill.

But immortals have the quantity and quality that mortals cannot match, and finally they have the power to shake mountains and seas.

Don't say that ordinary people can't learn these methods, even if they really master the skills by heart, they can't match the huge elemental power mastered by immortals, and it is impossible to get the same effect.

"Hey, by the way, why don't you follow me to learn the secret art of the Hall of Rebirth." Hu Tao suddenly thought of something, "If you learn well, I will let you be the deputy hall master~~"

The girl was startled and started to act when she thought of something, without thinking about other things.

Jiang Qing could only smile wryly.

He couldn't tell whether Hu Tao was joking or serious. It was of course good if it was true, but it was a bit embarrassing if it was fake, so he didn't answer.
