Chapter 22

The world is changing.

People are also changing.

But your Master, Cloud Retainer, always uses the perspective of the past to look at the Liyue of today.

Fundamentally, there is a bias.

At that time, demons were rising, and mechanism arts were used to contend with gods.

Powerful mechanism arts could not only kill gods but also protect Liyue. But now... there are no gods within Liyue's borders.

Yet mechanism arts have not been spread among the people.

Cloud Retainer even once said that the humans of today don't know how to use the powerful mechanism, the 【Guizhong Ballista】.

It is not that Liyue has no enemies today.

It is just that the enemies are too insignificant, just like... the Fatui within Liyue, and those Treasure Hoarders.

Do we really need to use the Guizhong Ballista?

Wouldn't that be like using a cannon to kill a mosquito?

You'd end up blowing up your own home."

Pfft.

Hearing that vivid description, Lady Ganyu couldn't help but be amused.

Using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

That is truly vivid.

However, thinking about it seriously, Master really does seem to be as he described.

High and mighty.

Looking down on short-lived mortals.

Lady Ganyu looked at him with pleading eyes and asked: "Su Han, how can I make Master change her perspective..."

"Talking is useless..." Su Han shook his head: "Only when Liyue truly changes will she understand that her way of thinking was wrong.

Otherwise, Cloud Retainer will not realize her own problem.

Adepti are also people.

They also have things they cannot do..."

"Hmm, thank you for your guidance today. Su Han, thank you..."

Having recovered her mood, Lady Ganyu was breathtakingly beautiful.

Su Han was stunned.

After a long while, he came back to his senses and said: "Cough, cough... just a 'thank you' isn't enough. Accompany me to see the night view... it's only eight o'clock, it's still early before sleep."

"Hmm, I haven't gone shopping in a long time either."

The two went down the Jade Chamber together and walked toward Liyue Harbor.

They chatted for a long time on the way.

However, what made Su Han somewhat depressed was.

This Qilin is good at everything, but she often likes to ask about that old man, Master Zhongli.

Should he tell her?

That the Geo Archon she admires most is actually an old geezer who doesn't ask the price, often owes money and doesn't pay it back.

And only wants to retire?

Forget it, he's in a good mood today.

Let's just humor her.

The two wandered outside until late at night before returning.

One day later.

The Knights of Favonius received a special letter.

It was engraved with a special seal.

Signature: Liyue Tianquan Ningguang.

"Grand Master Jean, there is an important letter here sent by the Liyue Tianquan!!!"

"What? Bring it here quickly for me to see!"

The blonde lady who was busy processing official business, hearing that there was a letter from Ningguang, immediately changed her expression.

That noble woman who holds power in Liyue.

She had met her many times.

Whenever the other party sends a letter, it must be a major event.

It absolutely cannot be ignored.

There are rarely times when she just wants to chat.

A moment later, the golden letter was delivered to her.

Jean tore open the letter.

It read:

【Grand Master Jean, long time no see. Recently, we in Liyue are preparing to build a large-scale alchemy laboratory, but we lack the guidance of an alchemy master.

I hope Mondstadt can let Miss Sucrose come to provide some guidance...】

The letter not only contained the plan for a transportation railway between Liyue and Mondstadt.

At the same time, there was also a very important commercial plan.

For example, important minerals for forging weapons could also be transported to Mondstadt via the train.

And Mondstadt's products.

Could also be transported to Liyue via the train.

Mutual benefit for both sides.

Of course, there is a price to pay.

That is to let Sucrose go to Liyue to guide them, and stay for three years.

This time is neither long nor short.

But the benefits it brings are something Jean cannot refuse.

Currently, Mondstadt only has one port, the Port of Dornman, as a transportation hub.

But the problem also arises.

It is impossible for everything to be transported to the Port of Dornman.

Therefore, Mondstadt's current transportation is still mainly by horse-drawn carriage.

If a train could be opened.

It would greatly alleviate the pressure on transportation. ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
