But this salt city-state was the most amazing thing he had ever seen.
If you remove this layer of troublesome salt crystals, you can still see how exquisite this place once was.
Not only is the layout of the buildings very sophisticated, but the infrastructure such as sewers and street lights is also very well done, and it even simulates scenery such as rivers on the ground.
He raised his head and glanced at the dome.
Unlike the ground, because it is too high, the dome of this city-state is almost completely covered with salt flowers, and it is impossible to be cleaned up by the hill people or the people coming in. The white salt crystals look like a thick layer of ice.
If Bai Luo guessed correctly, in the distant past, there should have been a place similar to the Great Sun Carriage, just like the Yuanxia Palace. It simulated the sun on the ground and was one of the few light sources in this city-state.
pity
Either the light source has lost its energy source and has completely become useless.
Or after Heulia's fall, it could not withstand the impact of the demon's fall and was destroyed.
In short, there is absolutely no possibility of recovery.
As for why he felt this way, it had something to do with the city-state itself.
Judging from many details, Heulia's creation of this city-state can be described as perfect, and she takes care of her believers in every possible way.
She brought everything that might be available on the ground, except war, into this underground city-state, hoping that the people she protected could live a so-called peaceful life.
Maybe she was not a good leader during wartime, but in peacetime, she was definitely a wise monarch.
It is no exaggeration to say that if she was the one who won the Demon War in the end, or if she was the one who took care of Liyue now, she might do a better job than Morax.
pity
Just like the Demon of Dust who also died in the Demon War, in that era, wisdom was not a necessary condition for a superior.
Fists are the most important thing.
In fact, many people here have misunderstood one thing.
Many people felt that it was Heulia's people who betrayed her.
Maybe it sounds a bit ironic, but in fact her followers chose to kill her not because they wanted to take credit or gain sympathy from the powerful.
Given her overly accommodating and weak character, if she fails in the war against demons, she might face more than just death.
The war between demons is very cruel, and there is no so-called good ending in any war.
Her people felt that... ...it would be better to grant their god a relatively easy release than to have her tortured and defiled after a defeat.
Hmm? Why would they think that, you ask
Because the believers of the Salt Demon God know their god too well.
Perhaps when Heulia faces the demon's weapon, she will try her best to fight even if she has no weapons in her hands.
But... what if the devil uses her people to threaten her
Would she really be willing to abandon her people and die
Could this god, who had given up almost everything for his believers, really die peacefully at a time like this
Precisely because she knows her god too well, her believers choose to "redeem" their god in this way.
It sounds a bit cruel.
As a [villain], if Bai Luo was the demon god who conquered this city-state, he would definitely be amazed by the exquisite design here and would have some other thoughts.
After knowing that all this was the result of Heulia's efforts, he would definitely use every possible means to "win" her over to his side.
Bai Luo had no intention of missing out on such an exquisite lark that could be threatened with just a worthless human life.
Be it warming the bed or being a military advisor.
It can even combine with the bloodline of gods to give birth to offspring with both wisdom and power.
He would definitely squeeze every bit of value out of this god that he could.
Maybe you think Bai Luo went a little too far, but in fact he was already tactful enough.
In an era that can be described as "barbaric", Heulia's fate would be even more tragic than this.
Looking at Wan Yan who seemed to still hold on to a glimmer of hope, Bai Luo didn't quite understand one thing.
"Why do you think Morax assassinated Heulia?"
According to Bai Luo's investigation, there are many versions of Heulia's final fate in Yinyuan Hall.
Death, Escape to the Dark Sea, Suppression, Seclusion
There are various theories, but the only one related to Morax is that Morax used a rock spear to suppress Heulia in Guyun Pavilion.
Perhaps Morax couldn't bear to hurt this overly weak demon, or perhaps he was simply not interested in this god who did not have much power.
There weren't even minor frictions between them, let alone major conflicts.
So why did she have such an idea
"History books are embellished by the victors..."
After hearing what Bai Luo said, Wan Yan explained in a low voice.
"Those so-called historians and storytellers describe Morax as an omnipotent saint, but belittle other gods as worthless. So I want to prove it! Morax also has sins! His hands are stained with the blood of innocent people, and he also has a cruel and ruthless side!"
"... ..."
Seeing Wan Yan's voice getting louder and louder as her emotions became more and more excited, Bai Luo almost understood something.
In fact, what Wan Yan said was not wrong.
In the eyes of the people of Liyue, Morax is an omnipotent god.
But the same cannot be said for the gods who are opposed to him.
Even though Morax took over the people of those gods unconditionally and treated them equally.
But... war is war, and the hatred and pain it leaves in the blood are also a kind of wear and tear, aren't they
And this kind of wear and tear may not be erased by time.
This time, it can really be said that it is not the devil or humans who are at fault.
But this world.
"Do you know why in most stories, Morax suppresses his opponents instead of killing them?"
Looking at the increasing number of salt crystals on the ground, Bai Luo asked aloud.
As they got closer and closer to the "truth", even though someone had deliberately cleaned it up, the white salt crystals seemed to have merged with the ground, and it seemed that even the stone road had been salted.
"Like I said, it's to whitewash Morax and make him look like a benevolent god."
Wan Yan said as a matter of course.
"So... have you seen what the demon looks like when it falls?"
Chapter 640 You Have Been Speaking for Morax
As the truth gets closer and closer, Bai Luo has already decided to give Wan Yan a shot of prevention.
A serious injection.
"The devil... the devil's fall?"
After swallowing her saliva, Wan Yan suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure rising from Bai Luo's body.
This kind of pressure even made her scalp tingle, and she unconsciously wanted to stay away from him.
After the Demon War, the existing demons either became the Seven Rulers of the World or fled to the Dark Sea outside the protection of the Seven Gods and became the so-called evil gods.
Those who linger under the protection of the Seven Gods are either a remnant soul or a body that has lost all power.
Simply put, unless the current god fell, she would not have the chance to see this scene.
The assassination of Morax would have been a good opportunity, but unfortunately she had missed it.
"Morax obtained the Heart of God. He was no longer just a demon god. His identity and status were elevated. Therefore, nothing strange happened when he died."
Bai Luo used the excuse to deceive Osel again.
Although it was a lie, it was a white lie that he had to tell to help the old man retire.
"But as an executive officer of the Fatui, I have traveled to many countries around the world and seen the remains of many demon gods."
"So... so what?"
According to Wan Yan's own judgment, Bai Luo's words are quite credible.
That’s right, how could such a sunny and handsome guy lie to her
"Moracus's suppression of the gods is actually a real event and not groundless, because there is a very important factor involved."
When Wan Yan heard Bai Luo actually spoke for Morax, she originally wanted to say something.
But Bai Luo raised his hand to stop him.
He glanced at Wanyan and continued speaking.
"Although your identity as an archaeologist is fabricated, according to what you said, you should have worked with adventurers before, right?"
In fact, Bai Luo also has his own understanding of the devil.
But telling Wan Yan this would only make her more confused.
So he decided to explain it to her in another simpler and easier-to-understand way.
"Well, no matter what industry you are in, it is necessary to cooperate with adventurers."
Wan Yan nodded and said.
Not only when she was pretending to be an archaeologist, but even when she was working in Yinyuan Hall, she would sometimes be responsible for communicating with the Adventurer's Association and hiring some helpers to transport salt.
"Have you ever seen the moment a monster dies? The most common slimes?"
Pointing behind him, Bai Luo spoke.
The slime at the entrance has become the most classic example.
"I remember... Wind Slime will generate a wind field, Fire Slime will explode, and Thunder Slime will also cause the surrounding area to experience a state similar to electric shock."
After carefully recalling it, Wan Yan spoke out.
These things are not just knowledge that adventurers need to master, but ordinary people like them also need to know something about them.
For example, exploding fire slimes.
Even in peacetime, similar things often happen.
"That's right. Even a weak slime would have such a reaction when it was dying, let alone a demon god. The power lost when a demon god died is definitely not something a mortal body can bear.
When I was in Inazuma, I once saw the remains of a demon god. He was beheaded by General Lei Dian with his Wu Xiang sword, but the influence he left on that land has not yet been completely eliminated. "
"You mean... Morax suppressed the demons in order to prevent the power lost when they died from affecting ordinary people?"
Bai Luo's explanation was easy to understand, and Wan Yan already had some knowledge, so she quickly understood what Bai Luo meant.
But... this doesn't make sense
The stories of Morax are indeed mostly about suppression.
But not all demons are like him, dealing with their enemies in this way.
After all, not everyone can be given the title of God of War.
We should be thankful if we can barely defeat our opponents, so why talk about suppression
After listening to Wan Yan's question, Bai Luo quickly gave his answer.
"Have you heard of the Great Saint who conquers demons?"
Speaking of the Great Sage Who Conquers Demons, a nostalgic smile appeared on Bai Luo's lips.
If he remembered correctly, Xiao seemed to be the first person in the entire Teyvat to feel his sour sunset fruit.
In the past, his fruit was indeed very sour.
But before the system gradually became active, his fruit was limited to making ordinary people frown and Columbia grin.
But now
