Have you ever eaten the sweet sunset fruit
"You mean Morax's lackey?"
The Great Sage who should have been loved by everyone has become a so-called lackey because of a filter called "Morax".
From Wanyan's perspective, there is nothing wrong with this description.
"Moracus summoned the immortal Yakshas to deal with the [grudges] left by the demon gods. If it weren't for their efforts, Liyue wouldn't be as prosperous as it is now. You should be able to find out about these things by flipping through some books."
"... ..."
Wan Yan was silent for a while.
Just as Bai Luo said, in order to understand her "enemy", she had done a lot of homework, and knew a lot about the deeds of the immortals Yakshas and Moraxes.
But she regarded those deeds as embellishments by the writers.
Now that Bai Luo explained it this way, it seemed
Wait a moment!
"Why do you keep talking to Morax?"
Just when Wan Yan was about to fall for Bai Luo's words, she suddenly realized something.
Bai Luo said this as if he was trying to excuse Morax.
Could it be that this guy... is on Morax's side
"I'm just stating a fact."
Bai Luo spread his hands and said helplessly.
It seems that we can’t call her a silly girl anymore, at least she was not fooled by herself.
"You've always been speaking for Morax!"
"you... ... "
"What you said is just your guess, right?"
"I... ... "
"I shouldn't have believed you in the first place!"
"... ..."
Looking at Wan Yan's stubborn and slightly wary expression, Bai Luo sighed helplessly.
He decided to use his trump card.
"No matter what you say, I won't believe you!"
"I killed Morax."
"Even if you killed Morax..."
"I killed Morax."
“But...but...”
"I killed Morax."
"... ..."
No matter how Wan Yan wanted to refute Bai Luo, she couldn't refute the fact that this guy killed Morax.
After all, Roger saw all of this with his own eyes, and Morax was indeed dead.
This is a decisive blow!
Chapter 641 Broken Sword
In fact, Bai Luo told her these things just to make her understand one thing.
The truth behind why this city-state was covered with salt flowers.
But judging from the current situation, the possibility of Wan Yan believing him is extremely low.
Well, Bai Luo didn't insist that she believe in him anyway.
As long as she goes to the end, she will get the truth she wants.
That would be a more shocking truth than Bai Luo killing Morax.
On the subsequent journey, the two of them encountered many instruments related to the power of the Salt God.
For example, some kind of salt ruler similar to a measuring vessel.
As long as the salt ruler is inserted into the ground, the soil will be covered with salt like flooding.
The deeper you go, the more grains of salt there are.
In other words, it is a [harvest] of salt.
"So, the salt crystals covering this city are caused by this salt ruler?"
Until now, Wan Yan still doesn't believe Bai Luo's explanations about the demon god.
That's right, whether it's the salt crystals or the salt traces deep into the ground, they can be explained by this salt ruler.
But now Bai Luo obviously doesn't want to explain too much to her.
He finally understood that this silly girl was a person who would not release the eagle until she saw the rabbit.
Unless it was to make her see the truth, telling her too much would only make him look like a fool.
After forcefully taking the salt ruler from Wan Yan's hand, Bai Luo continued to move forward with Wan Yan.
At some point, Bai Luo noticed that the scene around him had changed.
The city is still the same city, and the surroundings are still pitch black.
But the nearby statues have completely lost sight of the fleeing people.
Without exception, they all remained kneeling on the ground praying, and the expressions on their faces were not as scary as those of the people outside.
Instead, there is a feeling of dying peacefully.
In addition, the surrounding salt crystals have been specially cleaned up. Except for those salt crystals that have completely assimilated the stone road, most of the salt crystals have disappeared.
Everywhere you look you can see signs that someone has been here.
The most obvious ones are the utensils and offerings used for sacrifices.
"These are..."
After seeing the symbol on the vessel, Wan Yan was stunned for a moment, then rushed over.
She was very familiar with these utensils with strong Liyue characteristics.
Yes, she was familiar.
Because some of the things were even handled by her personally.
This was the task assigned to her by her senior from Yinyuan Hall.
The elders only told her that it was used to worship the ancestors, but she did not expect that the ancestors mentioned by the elders were actually
"It seems that many things in the Hillock people's camp were taken from here."
Looking at the utensils that were turned into a mess, Bai Luo squatted down, picked up a few pieces of porcelain fragments, and spoke out.
He had never expected that the sacrificial scenes, which rarely appeared in the game, would be so grand in this city-state.
Based on his understanding of the value of these things, to hold a sacrifice of this scale would cost him at least one month's pocket money.
As expected of a salt seller, he can be described as wealthy and powerful.
"Why is this happening? Why? All my efforts over the years... for what?"
Wan Yan still wanted to find some excuses for herself, but these things that she personally handled became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
No matter how you look at it, everything is developing in the direction that Bai Luo described to her.
If nothing unexpected happens... ...then the truth
Bai Luo glanced at Wan Yan, who seemed a little distraught, and without saying much, he walked into the temple alone.
Compared with the previous temples that enshrined salt rulers and salt cups, this one is more magnificent and spectacular.
It can be seen that later people deliberately tried to restore this temple.
But how could it be so easy to repair a temple that was built thousands of years ago
Almost all the people who have actually seen the temple in its original state have died, and later generations can only restore it as best as possible according to their own imagination.
But what is ridiculous is that this is clearly the temple of Heulia, the goddess of salt, but these people use the style of Morax, the god of rock.
As a result, the two styles were combined together to create the weird and funny style he saw before his eyes.
The most ironic thing is not these, but what is placed on the altar.
It was a broken sword with only the blade left but no hilt.
Unlike the weapons currently circulating in the continent of Teyvat, this weapon has a simple shape and does not have too many frills, but it is very practical.
Even after thousands of years, its sharp edge still makes people tremble with fear.
Like the sculptures that can be seen everywhere, it is also covered and eroded by salt crystals.
From the broken part of the sword, it can be seen that the inside of this metal sword has been almost completely salted. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why it broke so easily.
The only difference is that the salt distributed on the sword body does not have the distinct granular layers like the salt flowers and salt crystals on the outside.
On the contrary... ...it gives people a fluid feeling.
Or it could be said to be similar to the existence of blood stains.
Especially the salt stains on the tip of the sword, which gives people the illusion that it will turn into blood at any time and slowly fall from the tip of the sword.
This sword, and the stand holding the broken sword, are probably the most Salt God-era style products in this temple, right
The salt cup and salt ruler, which represent the power of the salt god, were placed casually outside, while the weapon that killed Heulia was enshrined in such a magnificent temple.
Tsk tsk... It really makes people feel sad.
Looking at Wan Yan who was still in a daze outside, Bai Luo quietly put away the broken sword.
Although the system did not ask him to collect these relics of Heulia, based on his research on previous copies, some of his actions would change the evaluation when completing the task.
And these evaluations will also make the rewards he receives when he completes the task better.
If he could collect all the relics related to Heulia, he might be able to complete some achievements and get extra rewards.
This was also one of the reasons why he tried to give Wanyan a heads-up along the way, so that she would be mentally prepared in advance and not be unable to accept the truth and suffer a mental breakdown.
Who can resist a little extra reward
Otherwise, couldn't he just drive Wushuang and take Wan Yan there, or just tell her the truth directly
After putting away the broken sword, Bai Luo looked at the empty altar and felt it was out of place.
After thinking for a moment, he took out a large and plump sunset fruit from his pocket, placed it on the table, and then nodded with satisfaction.
It's much more pleasing to the eye.
I just don't know if the salt goddess Heulia likes this gift from him.
But compared to the broken sword that killed her, she should like this fresh sunset fruit more, right
Heulia.
Sunset fruit, sweet, do you want to eat it
Chapter 642 The Hidden Truth
The previous sacrificial scene made Wan Yan feel depressed.
After Bai Luo dealt with the situation in the temple, he called her over and continued to head towards the next temple.
What surprised Bai Luo was that after passing the temple, the surrounding buildings did not become more majestic and magnificent as before.
How to say it
