The four of them took a small boat and rowed all the way to Guyun Pavilion. At Zhongli's request, they split up in teams of two.
"Old man, I don't think we can find any valuable cultural relics here."
Jun Luoyu reluctantly followed Zhongli around, watching Zhongli flip through this and that, feeling very bored.
"Osair may not have left anything behind, but Lord Guyun has suppressed more than one demon god. When Auxerre breaks the seal, he will more or less bring some with him. Since I accepted their commission, I naturally want to
Find something to go back and compare. By the way, do you know how to use elemental vision?"
When it comes to contracts, Zhongli is still very serious.
Jun Luoyu doesn't know elemental vision. He plays with Honkai energy. When he usually uses wind, it looks like he is using the Eye of the Wind God, but in essence he is driving air fluid.
But he can sense some special elemental forces and can also help distinguish some things.
While Jun Luoyu was wandering aimlessly, he heard Zhongli's slightly disgusted voice:
"Luo Yu, come here, there are some water changelings gathered here, seemingly surrounding something. Go and get it."
"Coming..."
Jun Luoyu knew that Zhongli hated seafood and aquatic creatures, but he didn't expect that the old man was unwilling to do anything and had to order him around.
Jun Luoyu waved a ball of thunder and lightning to clear away the water phantom, and drove the air to roll up a stone slab and flew it in front of him. He looked at it carefully and found that he couldn't understand it, so he could only hand it to Zhongli.
"No, this is it. It has some special energy on it, so it should be enough to make a difference, right?"
Zhongli looked at the patterns on it and nodded with satisfaction:
"It's enough. There's some demonic god's breath left on it. It should be enough to deal with that winter archaeologist."
"Old man, are you sure we want to hand this thing over to that archaeologist? Why do I always feel that he is more like a bucket man?"
Jun Luoyu didn't really want to hand over his country's cultural relics, which made him very unhappy.
Zhongli glanced at him and explained:
"Although I don't know what kind of business you are talking about, I can also tell that the man is not an archaeologist. This stone slab is just a fragment from here many years ago. When Auxerre was broken,
It’s just contaminated with the aura of the demon god and has no research value. But the Fools seem to have been collecting the power of the demon god, so it’s most appropriate to give him something like this that has no research value but has the aura of the demon god.”
"Well, since that's the case, then I have no objection."
Hearing what Zhongli said, Jun Luoyu felt no psychological burden and followed Zhongli's statue to the reserved gathering place honestly.
"You are called an archaeologist? You don't know this or that. Are you good at it?"
"You are the one! Are you doing archaeology? You don't even know the most basic skills, and you have to ask me everything. What exactly have you studied?"
As soon as the two came back, they saw Wan Yan and Clement quarreling.
Seeing this scene, Jun Luoyu took out a piece of watermelon and squatted aside with joy. He is a junior now and cannot get involved in this matter!
Zhongli had no choice but to step forward to separate the two of them and ask about the situation:
"You two, why are you quarreling here?"
When Clement saw Zhongli coming back, he stopped arguing with Wanyan and began to complain to Zhongli:
"Mr. Zhongli! I just said don't bring anyone else with you! This guy keeps claiming that he is an archaeologist, but he knows nothing about the surrounding ruins, and he doesn't even know as much as I do! I can only rely on intuition... Oh no, experience. I
I can only rely on my experience to bring something back, which is really a waste of time!"
And Wan Yan started to retort angrily:
"I have always studied the Demon God of Salt. It is normal for me not to know about other Demon Gods! As for you, besides talking about how many molas this is and how many molas that is, what else do you know? You don't understand the historical value either.
You don’t understand the age analysis, but you know Mora! Isn’t the value of cultural relics just Mora!”
Clement was speechless, but he still persisted in his quibbles:
"Isn't it the most straightforward way to measure the value of cultural relics in molasses? It's also in line with Liyue's tradition!"
"You..."
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Zhongli separated the two of them again and took out the stone slab:
"Okay, you two, we have brought back some valuable things that we can take a look at together."
Seeing this, the two had no choice but to give up their quarrel and gather around, but Wan Yan's attitude was perfunctory and seemed to be very uninterested, while Clement's attitude was too enthusiastic and he wanted to grab it directly from him.
Jun Luoyu squatted aside and ate watermelon. Looking at this strange picture, he wanted to complain but didn't dare.
None of these three people are serious archaeologists, one is a believer in the devil, one is an antique dealer, and the other is forced to do business.
Zhongli analyzed the things Clement brought back and denied their value. Then he displayed the stone slab and informed him of the remaining demonic power on it.
Clement snatched the slate and put it in his pocket, and he couldn't hold back his expression:
"The power of the devil, haha, this is a good thing! With this, I will make a profit this time. As for other things, I can more or less recover some of the cost, and they all belong to me!"
Wan Yan looked at Clement's face and taunted:
"Hmph, you keep saying that you are an archaeologist, but you don't study the history of the cultural relics, don't consider the beliefs represented by the cultural relics, and just want to make a fortune!"
"Nonsense! I am a professional archaeological researcher from the Solstice Kingdom! It's true!"
Jun Luoyu looked at Clement's face as a treacherous man who went to the countryside to pick up leaks, and finally couldn't help laughing. But in order to hide it from others, he took out a book from the pendant and opened it. Clement followed the sound and read
When I went there, I saw Jun Luoyu looking at a book and laughing very happily. I thought there was something interesting in the book and didn't pay attention.
Zhongli looked at Jun Luoyu who was eating melon and shook his head, but did not expose him and continued to look at Clement:
"There is nothing worth studying here. If you have no next goal, then this commission ends here."
"Hey! That's not possible! How could you go back so easily! By the way, I'm also a little interested in the Salt Demon God this woman mentioned. Then let's go to the Salt of the Earth as our next stop."
Wan Yan has no objection. She originally came here for the ruins of the Demon God of Salt.
Zhongli doesn't care anymore. He is now a consultant, so of course his employer has the final say.
Because of his age, Jun Luoyu was not included in Clement’s opinion.
No one had any objections, so they took a boat back to Liyue Port and hired a boatman to take the water route to the Salt of the Earth.
Because of the long journey, the four of them stayed on the boat for a whole day and night before reaching the Salt of the Earth. They could only eat some dry food or fish along the way. Although Wan Yan was not a serious archaeologist, he could still endure the hardship.
, but Clement couldn’t stand it anymore.
"Finally we're here. Once we finish exploring here, we won't have to eat that damn dry food anymore!"
As Clement said this, he looked at Jun Luoyu who was chewing an apple with jealous eyes.
Ever since Jun Luoyu got a pendant that can store things, he has always stored some food and drink in it. Although the space in the pendant has no preservation function, Jun Luoyu condensed a lot of ice cubes in it and built a simple refrigerator by himself.
The effect is not bad.
Clementa didn't have the humility to go to a child to ask for food, and Wan Yan did the same. Only Zhongli received special treatment, and Jun Luoyu took the initiative to offer food.
And Zhongli never took the initiative to ask Jun Luoyu to share some with the two of them. In Zhongli's eyes, these are Jun Luoyu's things. Jun Luoyu has complete control over these things. Jun Luoyu has the final say on who should give them or not.
.
It’s rare to see such a good elder.
On the ship, Zhongli had already mentioned that there were no valuable cultural relics around here, and Wan Yan had also mentioned the ruins deep in the cave. So now the three of them had a clear goal. Wan Yan would lead the way and see if they could crack the mechanism of the ruins. Everyone first cracked one mechanism under the leadership of Wan Yan, and then found another mechanism under the leadership of Zhong Li. The innocent Jun Luoyu was arrested and worked because he was the only one present who could activate the thunder element obelisk.
.
"Hey, doesn't this guy have the eye of the wind attribute? Why can he also use the thunder element?"
Clement was surprised when he saw Jun Luoyu releasing a small amount of lightning to activate the obelisk.
Jun Luoyu, on the other hand, looked at Clement with the eyes of a country bumpkin:
"Uncle, are you really one of the Zhidong Fools? Lei Ying Warlocks don't have the Eye of God, so they can also use a little thunder element. Do you really think that this kind of technology is something special and high-end? It's rare and strange!" "You... you damn brat, you are so unpleasant!"
Clement was speechless by Jun Luoyu. He probably would have beaten Jun Luoyu if there weren't others around him.
He should thank Zhongli, otherwise he would have been beaten the first time he called Jun Luoyu a kid.
Whether Jun Luoyu, an old double standard, will be angry depends on who calls him. If Beidou calls him a brat, he will definitely not be angry, because he knows that Beidou does not mean any harm by calling him a brat.
But Clement is different. Although Jun Luoyu will not kill people at will, the General Affairs Department will not care if he beats Clement. Even if he does kill him, there will be no big deal.
The problem is, after all, Ningguang and others know that Jun Luoyu is now considered an immortal and will not cause trouble to him.
It's just that he doesn't want to cause trouble for Qixing and Gan Yu.
"Okay, now it's all activated."
After lighting up the last element obelisk, Jun Luoyu stood up and followed Zhongli obediently, looking harmless to humans and animals.
There was a roar at the entrance of the ruins, and the magic circle covering the entrance of the cave gradually dissipated. Everyone returned to the entrance of the cave and was about to go down. At this time, Zhong Li stopped the two of them:
"Before entering the ruins, I have a suggestion to avoid any disputes. Please sign a contract. The content of the contract is: take the items in order, one piece at a time. To show your sincerity, you can choose and there is no need to put them together.
The two of us are included."
Jun Luoyu wanted to say something, but Zhongli's hand behind his back gently shook his hand, signaling him not to speak.
"I don't agree! Are you asking me to share the harvest equally with that half-baked archaeologist? How is this possible!"
"I disagree! He will only destroy the relics of the Demon God of Salt, and I will never accept it!"
Wan Yan and Clement both expressed their refusal. Seeing this, Zhong Li still looked indifferent, but his words were no longer so polite:
"If the contract cannot be established, I can no longer serve as a consultant. It's up to you two to explore the traps and treasures here. Luo Yu, let's go."
"Huh? It's time to get off work! Great!"
Jun Luoyu knew that this was a threat to the two of them, but he also cooperated and pretended to be happy, and even put back the paper and pen he had just taken out.
"Mr. Zhongli, wait a moment! Alas, although I can't trust this guy, but since it is the relic of the Demon God of Salt, it should be enough to only take one piece at a time. Okay, okay, just listen to Mr. Zhongli."
As expected, Clement stopped Zhongli and Jun Luoyu and were forced to compromise.
Then Zhongli looked at Wan Yan again. Wan Yan lowered her head and thought for a while, showing a firm expression:
"The matter has come to this, I can agree to it! But Mr. Zhongli, I have only one request. If any truth is discovered in the ruins of the Salt Demon God, I hope you can make a fair and impartial judgment, even if the truth is about Mo
Disadvantageous for Lux!"
Zhongli nodded:
"It's all right. Luo Yu, take out the paper. You two, sign the contract."
Jun Luoyu took out the pen and paper again, wrote three contracts and handed them to Zhongli and the others. After they finished signing, he put away the one that belonged to Zhongli.
