Taking the tea, Zhongli quipped.
Based on his impression of Bai Luo, this guy just likes to show up at such lively times.
"I can't help it. I didn't expect that you, Mr. Zhongli, would take this matter so seriously."
Bai Luo's words were a double entendre.
In addition to complaining about Zhongli not releasing his eagle until he sees the rabbit, and not opening his heart until he sees Bai Luo, he is also hinting at his secret intervention in the Osel incident.
He could be considered to have an opinion on how painful it was to be hit head-on by a rock spear.
It hurts so much!!
"If it was anyone else, I wouldn't be so concerned. Who got you involved in this?"
As the saying goes, flowing water can be turned, but rocks cannot be moved.
Zhongli has always been cautious in doing things and never does anything he is not sure of.
But if something is related to Bai Luo, it cannot just be 100% successful. A few more insurances must be added to adjust the success rate to 300%.
Even if the success rate was 200%, Zhongli was still afraid that something might go wrong.
You must know that any accident that happens to Bai Luo cannot be called an accident.
It can only be taken for granted.
"Well, now that I'm here, shouldn't I hand over the stuff?"
Even though he complained, Bai Luo did not forget the important matter of this meeting.
He never imagined that he had such a high status in Zhongli's eyes. The other party didn't want to see him and was even unwilling to hand over the Heart of God that he had agreed to hand over long ago.
"Too."
After being reminded by Bai Luo, Zhongli also remembered this.
He casually extended his hand.
Pure rock elements flowed out from his body, gathered in the palm of his hand, and condensed into a chess piece with a unique shape.
After taking out this chess piece, Zhongli's face showed an unprecedented sense of relief.
After handing this thing over, he was completely no longer associated with the title of Rock God.
"The contract has been concluded. As you requested, I will grant you what I promised you."
Zhongli's words were very formal.
After taking out the Heart of God, he threw it to Bai Luo lightly, as if he was giving an insignificant item to a friend.
“Although this is not the first time I’ve seen this thing, is it really as powerful as the legend says?”
Holding this seemingly fragile but actually extremely hard thing, Bai Luo ignored the crazy prompt sound of the system beside his ear and asked aloud.
So far, two Hearts of God have passed through his hands. Every time he holds a Heart of God, the system's prompt sounds will be heard frantically in his ears.
The system seems to be hungry for this thing.
The more you want it, the less I will give it to you.
Hey, just playing.
"During the Demon God War, all gods flocked to it. It is not only a symbol of strength, but also a symbol of status. However... for me now, it is no longer useful. It is more appropriate to give it to someone who needs it."
For some reason, Zhongli did not tell Bai Luo its actual use.
But Bai Luo wasn't very interested in it.
And this lack of interest comes from a feeling deep in my bones.
He didn't know why this happened.
After observing the Heart of God for a while and confirming that it was not a fake, Bai Luo casually threw it to the drowsy Rosaline next to him.
The three of them were not very interested in this thing.
"What are your plans next?"
The Heart of God is now in hand, and Bai Luo has completed the task assigned by the Ice Queen.
There didn't seem to be any point in staying any longer.
"The next plan involves the secrets of our Fatui. Are you sure you want to know, Mr. Zhongli?"
Bai Luo showed a smile on his face that made Zhong Li's heart tremble, and asked aloud.
Every time this guy smiles like this, it means someone is going to be in trouble.
"Forget it. I'm just a nobody in the Wangsheng Hall. Let Qixing and the others deal with these things. But... ... you shouldn't go too far."
Is Zhongli scared
That's not the case.
Just like he said, he no longer had any relationship with Morax. Even if something really happened, it would not be his turn to worry about it.
If one day he was forced to take action, he would do so in the capacity of Zhongli, a guest official of the Rebirth Hall.
Morax, it's a thing of the past.
Chapter 682 Recommending Mr. Zhongli
After handing over the Heart of God, Zhongli did not stay for long. After chatting with Bai Luo for a while, he left while humming a little tune while picking up his mechanical bird.
It is estimated that for a long time, he will not come to trouble Bai Luo.
After watching Zhongli leave leisurely, Bai Luo nudged Rosaline beside him with his elbow.
"Rosalin, what do you think would happen if I wrote a letter of recommendation to Qixing in the name of the Fatui executive, recommending Mr. Zhongli to become the new Rock God?"
"... ..."
Rosalin first looked at Bai Luo with a look that said "Are you a devil?", and then answered seriously.
"It would be fine if you didn't write a recommendation letter. With his knowledge and talent, it's not impossible for him to become the new Geogod. If you really wrote a recommendation letter... I believe that for a long time, Morak... Zhongli would suffer terribly under the investigation of the Liyue Seven Stars and the General Affairs Department."
Just like Rosalyn said.
Whether in Mondstadt or Liyue, Bai Luo has always been at the top of the blacklist of both countries.
Or
Not only in Mondstadt and Liyue, Bai Luo is definitely on the blacklist in many countries.
If Bai Luo really dared to do this, Zhongli, whose origins were originally unclear, would be the first to be secretly investigated by the Liyue Seven Stars.
Even if one or two people knew his true identity, they had no choice but to cooperate.
After all, the news that the Emperor had died had already spread in Liyue.
If he dared to tell his colleagues and subordinates at this time that Zhongli was actually the dead Rock King, wouldn't that be asking for trouble for him
"Hey, after hearing what you said, I actually want to do that."
After listening to Rosaline's analysis, Bai Luo's smile became more and more bright.
As he said this, he asked Chu Yi to get paper and pen, intending to write a letter of recommendation to the General Affairs Department.
"The Heart of God is already in our hands. Instead of doing these meaningless things, you and I should return to the Winter Palace as soon as possible to meet the Queen."
Rosaline didn't comment much on Bai Luo's bad taste.
She carefully put away the Heart of God that Bai Luo threw to her and spoke.
She would wait for Bai Luo to come back. Besides needing him to retrieve the Heart of God from Morax, she also planned to go back to Winter Solstice to meet the Queen after he came back.
As the masterminds of this mission to obtain the Heart of God... ...or the main persons in charge, after they finish their work, they must go back to report on their work and accept the next task.
"You go back first, I may need to wait a little longer."
Taking the paper and pen handed to him by Chu Yi, Bai Luo began to write quickly on it.
Chu Yi, who was standing next to him, quietly leaned over and took a look.
Afterwards, she looked away with a hint of confusion.
When the boss asked her to get the four treasures of the study just now, he clearly said that she planned to write a letter this time.
For this purpose she specifically took letter paper instead of drawing paper.
But
The boss was clearly painting on the letter paper just now, right
And it is the reed sketch that was quite popular some time ago.
Although it is not as popular recently, similar paintings can be sold at sky-high prices in the market as long as they capture both the spirit and the form.
"Wait a little longer?"
Rosalyn frowned slightly, a little confused.
"We already have the Heart of God in Liyue. There's not much point in staying here any longer, right?"
To put it seriously, Bai Luo's behavior can even be considered as disobedience.
After all, after obtaining the Heart of God, one must return to report on one's duties as soon as possible. This has always been the rule.
Even though he was an executive officer, he could not disobey the Queen's orders.
"Remember what I told you before? I have other tasks here."
Putting down the paper and pen in his hand, Bai Luo nodded with satisfaction and spoke to Rosaline beside him.
He has not forgotten his mission.
"Haha, it's really rare that you're so serious about the mission."
After hearing Bai Luo's explanation, Rosalin let out a sarcastic laugh.
Because of her physical condition, she could be said to be taking it easy whenever she could, trying her best to move herself, who was already between life and death, towards rebirth.
Before she completely burned out, she still wanted to do more for the Queen.
But even if she was trying to slack off, she was still more diligent than Bai Luo before.
After all, she has never disappeared just because of a disagreement.
"How should I put it... When I wasn't at Inazuma, Scaramucci was always covering for me. Now that he has something to ask of me, how could I not take it to heart?"
After folding the letter in his hand, Bai Luo spoke righteously.
If Rosaline didn't know some inside information, she might have believed his lies.
"Okay, I won't bring anyone with me when I return to Winter Solstice this time. If you need anything, please let me know. If the Queen doesn't assign me a new mission, I will try my best to come and help you."
After learning that Bai Luo had not decided to go back, Rosaline did not continue to waste time here.
Time may not be too valuable to her other colleagues. After all, there are already people who can observe the world through the dimension of [time].
Even before, she didn't have much concept of time.
But for her who is almost burning out, time is very precious and she can no longer waste time like before.
"If the Queen arranges for you to go to Inazuma, remember to come to me first."
After hearing that the Queen might assign her a new task, Bai Luo paused while putting the envelope away.
He raised his head and said very seriously.
"Why, are you afraid that I will take your job?"
As one of the few executives among the Fatui who had a good relationship with Bai Luo, Rosaline knew that he had been operating his own territory in Inazuma.
"After all, you are in my territory. You know, my subordinates are all informal people. I am afraid they might offend you."
There's really not much wrong with what Bai Luo said...
Even he had to admit that the Fatui on Umi Island had long been spoiled by him.
Although many people still maintain due respect for the Executive, it is just respect. Compared with the Fatui in Inazuma Castle and other places, they are much less afraid of the Executive.
There is only respect but no fear. If they meet some crazy people, they will suffer a great loss.
"Don't worry, I'm different now than I was before. I don't have that much energy to waste on insignificant people."
