25. Mandrill: Is Your Iron Ax Filled With Ruotuo?
A white hood covered his face.
The figure is tall and straight, and a dull and ancient atmosphere spreads as he walks.
Behind him, followed a short young immortal.
There are large expanses of immortal patterns on his body.
The loyal follower of Emperor Yan, the Great Sage of Conquering Demons, General Jinpeng, Mandrill.
Just now Zhongli saw Ke Qing and Gan Yu hurriedly boarding the Qunyu Pavilion.
Considering Jiang Xuan he saw last night, he concluded that it must be related to him.
Simply, just watch in secret.
Unexpectedly, I heard such shocking news.
Even though Zhongli was already thinking about retirement, he knew that he had to do this.
And, it must be done immediately!
It is related to Liyue, whether Liyue ruled by people can go further and be more glorious.
He didn't mind pushing Liyue one last time with all his strength.
Furthermore, if that world is really rich in resources, the mining of the Strata Abyss can also be relaxed.
In this way, the pressure on Liyue's earth veins will be reduced.
The pressure on that old friend can be reduced a lot. Besides, that world is so magical, and there may be a way to cure Ruo Tuo.
This is also the reason why Zhongli must agree.
Moreover, he signed a contract with a world lord.
Ningguang would never dare to make a decision on this matter without authorization.
To put it simply, he was the only one in Liyue who was qualified to sign this contract.
Therefore, he called Mandrill without saying a word. As for why he was called...
Of course Zhongli had his own reasons.
"Emperor, do you know everything?"
Ke Qing looked at Zhongli with some confusion, his appearance was completely unclear due to the white hood.
"I'm aware of this."
Zhongli nodded slightly and looked at the squares in front of him.
Subconsciously, I used my divine power, but found that I couldn't connect with the cobblestones here at all.
That is to say...
It’s really another world, the product of different rules.
After confirming this matter, Zhongli was determined.
"Emperor, what do you think?"
Ningguang didn't pay attention to Zhongli's sudden appearance and just asked softly.
Zhongli was silent for a moment.
"Based on universal rationality, we have no reason to reject the goodwill of a world lord. Liyue needs such an opportunity."
"But remember, this is mutually beneficial cooperation, not sharing. The world is ultimately the other party's world."
"By cooperating with each other, Liyue's development will advance rapidly. From any angle, we must cooperate."
With Zhongli's certainty, Ningguang felt relieved.
He nodded and said again:
"So, when are we going to sign a contract with His Excellency Jiang Xuan?"
Ningguang didn't mention Jiang Xuan coming to Qunyu Pavilion.
Although it is a mutually beneficial cooperation, Jiang Xuan is in charge after all.
She is not stupid enough to invite people to her home.
The proper etiquette should still be observed.
"I will go there in person later to sign the contract."
Zhongli replied and walked to the square.
After looking at it carefully, he praised:
"It's truly a masterpiece of heaven and earth... I have never seen such a miraculous product in more than six thousand years."
Mandrill was a little confused, and for some reason his emperor suddenly called him over.
He looked at the strange squares and admired them greatly.
It clearly looks like ordinary stone and wood, at best, a little more regular.
but……
Mandrill glanced at Zhongli's back with admiration.
The emperor must have a reason for doing this!
"Although it is very magical, it is not in harmony with this place. It is better to dismantle it. Yuhengxing, where are the tools?"
Keqing immediately took out the ax and manuscript.
She didn't remind Zhongli that this thing was heavy, after all, he was the Emperor of the Rock King.
This little weight can't stop the opponent from moving mountains easily.
However, Mandrill frowned.
"Why does the emperor have to do such hard work himself? My subordinates can help."
After that, he went straight forward and took the ax and manuscript.
The moment he took the tool into his hands, Mandrill's expression changed and he unconsciously bent down.
Almost fell to the ground.
As soon as he gritted his teeth, Mandrill used his immortal power, and then he mastered these two tools.
"This... is too heavy! Why is it so heavy!"
Mandrill frowned and looked at Keqing.
The latter pursed his lips and whispered:
"The materials these tools are made of are very special..."
"but……"
Mandrill waved his ax in confusion, and the howling wind made the ears of everyone present sting.
This is because the mandrill simply relies on the weight of the axe.
"What material weighs several tons?"
"The great sage will understand this later. These two tools are the ax to chop wood and the manuscript to chop stone."
Keqing pointed at the pile of cubes in front of her and said:
"You don't need to use much strength, just hit the blocks continuously."
Hearing this, Mandrill also temporarily put aside his thoughts of discussion.
First he took an ax and chopped wood.
After touching it for about a dozen times, the wood suddenly burst and turned into a small crystal floating on the ground.
Mandrill was greatly surprised and subconsciously reached for it.
The moment he took it, Mandrill's face turned dark again.
"Why does such a small piece of wood... weigh hundreds of kilograms?"
Gan Yu covered her mouth and smiled softly, saying softly:
"It just looks small, but after all, it's only one cubic meter in size."
"But……"
Mandrill wanted to ask something else, but Zhongli said in a deep voice:
"Tear down these mandrills first, and I'll explain the rest to you slowly."
Zhongli's words are always useful to Mandrill.
He nodded solemnly immediately.
He fell silent and chopped the blocks again and again.
Seeing that his Qunyu Pavilion was finally recovering, Ningguang also breathed a sigh of relief.
Instead, he made up his mind.
Unlike coal mines, which are resources that are needed in large quantities in a few places.
Iron is in urgent need throughout Teyvat.
Iron is one of the biggest products produced by the Strata Abyss.
This is also the reason why Qianyan Army's weapons have always been excellent.
But when I saw the ax and manuscript just now, Ningguang felt that Jiang Xuanshi's iron seemed to be of higher quality.
In addition, the iron ingot weighs nearly a ton, making it convenient to collect resources.
If this is done well, Liyue's assets can be doubled.
After thinking about it, Ningguang said:
"Secretary Gan Yu, can you show me your iron sword?"
Hearing this, Gan Yu nodded hesitantly.
Reluctantly, he took out the iron sword and handed it to Ning Guang.
"Be careful, this is a gift from Jiang Xuan..."
Hearing this, Ning Guang smiled bitterly in his heart.
Listening to the first half of the sentence, she thought Gan Yu told her not to get scratched.
However, Zhongli glanced at Gan Yu one more time.
This child whom I have watched grow up seems to have reached the age of love...
"Secretary Gan Yu, just put it on the table. I can't lift such a heavy thing."
Ning Guang has not forgotten Mandrill's embarrassment just now. Immortals are like this, but she doesn't think she is strong.
Gan Yu nodded and gently placed the sword on the table in front of Ningguang.
Before he could even take a look, there was a click and the table fell apart instantly.
Fortunately, there was nothing on the table.
However, the iron sword fell to the ground, causing some vibrations and sinking into the ground for more than ten centimeters.
"..."
Ningguang pursed his lips and looked at Gan Yu with a complicated expression.
"Secretary Gan Yu, how much iron is used in this sword?"
"The sword was used very little, only two iron ingots."
Gan Yu looked at Ning Guang with a cute expression.
The latter smiled bitterly and whispered:
"So...it weighs nearly two tons..."
"Secretary Gan Yu...you are very strong..."
