Chapter 213

[Geo Archon Morax, rumored to possess the powerful ability to move mountains and fill seas.]

[His elder brother, the Sword Archon Bruis, is even more terrifying.]

[With a wave of his hand, he can easily cut a large mountain in half.]

Enjou: "Bruis? Is this Master Su's Archon name?"

Paimon: "Hehehe, no wonder he threw it away, it doesn't sound good."

Focalors: "He should be called Focalors-fu."

Buer: "You really know how to play with word games, second-generation Hydro Archon."

[Havria felt a bit of a headache.]

[She was weak, but that didn't mean she couldn't think.]

[A while ago, she heard that a bear-shaped Stove Archon named Marchosius was born near Liyue.]

[The Sword Archon had a great battle with him, and the outcome was unclear.]

[But after that, Marchosius began teaching people in Liyue how to make more nutritious ingredients.]

[During that time, the interaction between Liyue and the Land of Salt was very close, mainly using supplies to exchange for the salt crystals in Havria's hands.]

[Moreover, they provided extra supplies hoping that Havria could manufacture these salt crystals into edible fine salt.]

["Lord Havria..."]

[The guardian's voice interrupted Havria's thoughts.]

[She nodded gently, signaling the guardian to take the three of them to her meeting room for a private chat.]

[After the guardian left.]

[Havria sighed deeply.]

[Based on a woman's sixth sense, she felt that Consultant Zhongli's visit this time was not like the previous ones to discuss a trade.]

[After all, based on past experience, if it were just a trade, Liyue wouldn't have sent the Geo Archon Morax.]

[The other party even brought two adepti as companions.]

[...]

[Land of Salt.]

[In Havria's dedicated meeting room.]

[The content Consultant Zhongli expounded made her face look worse and worse.]

["So, the Geo Archon Morax's purpose in coming this time is to have me go to Liyue and serve Liyue, just like Marchosius?"]

[Havria confirmed weakly.]

["Yes." Consultant Zhongli responded immediately.]

["Elder Brother has taken a fancy to your salt-making ability and hopes you will surrender to him."]

[Since he chose to come.]

[Consultant Zhongli didn't want to beat around the bush with Havria.]

[According to what Su Bai told him before, what they were going to do was not to maintain an alliance relationship with the Havria in front of them like before.]

[Like the two sides exchanging supplies for supplies.]

[What Su Bai wants to do now is to bring Havria into his own hands and make her serve Liyue.]

Enjou: "As expected of Master Su, alliances and such require exchanging supplies, he directly comes to you with resource integration."

Aether: "Enjou, whose subordinate are you? You're licking the big brother-in-law too directly. He clearly took a fancy to Havria's ability and then wanted to annex others. Speaking of which, he's actually an aggressor."

Dainsleif: "During the Archon War, it was mutual aggression, killing until only a few Archons remained, and selecting seven to be the Seven Archons."

Irmin: "Actually, Su Bai's idea of unification could allow many Archons to survive."

Rhinedottir: "But the prerequisite is loyalty."

Alice: "Sigh, but Archons themselves are quite self-respecting. Most of them would rather die in battle than choose to surrender. If it weren't for the fact that Consultant Zhongli and Su Bai are like twin Archon brothers, there would definitely be a great war between these two."

Consultant Zhongli: "Apologies, luck is good, nothing can be done."

Venti: "Old man, you won't use Planet Befall in our Mondstadt, right?"

Consultant Zhongli: "Uh, judging by the current situation, if you don't choose to surrender to us, it might not be as simple as just Planet Befall."

Hu Tao: "Eh? Emperor, you're going to hammer the Anemo Archon Barbatos?"

Barbara: "Woooo, you Liyue people are just bullying others. I want to accuse you of Liyue's aggressive behavior."

Diluc: "Don't get excited yet. Perhaps with Lord Barbatos's personality, he'll sell Mondstadt after a few drinks."

Venti: "Master Diluc, you..."

Dvalin: "The Geo Archon and Master Su put their heads together at night, and they've never fought such an easy war."

Venti: "No, I must stand up for myself this time."

Tianquan Ningguang: "Lord Anemo Archon, is the wine at Wanmin Restaurant good?"

Venti: "Hehe, don't mention it, it's really good."

Jean: "..."

Xiangling: "Looking at it this way, Guoba is still the sensible one. After being beaten up, he immediately joined in and set up the stove."

Guoba: "?"

[Seeing Havria silent.]

[Consultant Zhongli continued: "I think you should also know Elder Brother's strength. The reason he let me come to find you is because my temper is much gentler than his."]

["The rules set down by the Heavenly Principles, the people above will not interfere with our Teyvat Archon competition."]

["With Elder Brother Su Bai's ability, becoming the Archon Emperor of Teyvat is only a matter of time."]

["And with your ability, it seems you can't protect your people."]

[Being pointed out by Consultant Zhongli for her weakness.]

[Havria felt a sense of loneliness.]

[Admittedly, if Liyue really wanted to start a war against her, Havria would only be waiting for destruction.]

[But as an Archon, having to surrender to others, this behavior is no different from betraying those people who trust her.]

[Imagine, if the people learned that the deity they trusted deeply was loyal to other Archons.]

[How painful this would be for the people.]

[As if seeing through Havria's inner thoughts.]

[Consultant Zhongli waved his hand and said calmly: "I know you are also a benevolent Archon who loves her people deeply."]

["You wouldn't want to lead them to face the invasion of other Archons, would you?"]

["At least if you surrender to Elder Brother, the Land of Salt will belong to Liyue, then the people here will be our Liyue people, and we will not let any Archon trample on them wantonly."]

["You..."]

[Havria was just about to denounce this overbearing aggressive behavior of Consultant Zhongli and Su Bai.]

[But in the end, she kept her mouth shut.]

·· ······Seeking flowers··· ···

[The Archon War is inherently a game of mutual slaughter between Archons.]

[Even if Su Bai and Consultant Zhongli really attacked her Land of Salt, they just attacked.]

["Havria, this is an excellent opportunity for you, I hope you can consider it carefully."]

["Making a decision as soon as possible can allow the people of the Land of Salt to obtain our protection as soon as possible."]

["In the cruel Archon War, only powerful strength is the best way to protect the people."]

[Consultant Zhongli continued to explain the pros and cons to put pressure on Havria.]

[However, after both sides were silent for a long time...]

[Havria said faintly: "Take me to see the Sword Archon Bruis..."]

[Hearing this, Consultant Zhongli frowned slightly.]

[He interrupted Havria's conversation and said: "I can take you to see Elder Brother, but I want to remind you in advance."]

["Elder Brother has long since abandoned the name Bruis."]

["You can call him the Sword Archon or Su Bai, but absolutely do not mention his Archon name."]

["Otherwise, I really find it hard to protect you."]

[...]

[Along the way, Havria made her calculations.]

[The reason Su Bai wanted her to surrender was probably because he took a fancy to her salt-making ability.]
