Chapter 311

Pierro heard the Cryo Archon's words and fell silent.

It cannot be denied that although the Cryo Archon's words were simple, they were very straightforward.

So straightforward that Pierro had no room to refute.

For a time, the entire hall fell into silence again.

"Are you sure there won't be any loopholes in your plan?"

Pierro's voice rang out in the hall, seemingly with a hint of hesitation.

"Rest assured, there won't be any loopholes..."

Afterward, a burst of whispering came from the hall.

But what exactly Pierro and the Tsaritsa discussed, no one knew...

Liyue Harbor.

Jiang Yan landed slowly on the top of Mount Tianheng.

"Morax... come out."

Jiang Yan withdrew his aura and walked straight ahead, sitting in the small pavilion on the top of the mountain.

And on the other side of Jiang Yan, a young man in brown robes, exuding an aura of world-weariness, appeared suddenly.

"Calmed down?"

Morax looked at Jiang Yan.

"No!"

Jiang Yan said with some annoyance.

He was still fuming.

Is that kind of anger something that just goes away?

"I already know the cause and effect of the matter."

Morax sat down in front of Jiang Yan, tapped the table with his finger, and spoke in a flat tone.

"Oh? What? Are you planning to lecture me?"

Jiang Yan raised his hand, and a pot of clear tea appeared in front of the two.

"Not at all; on the contrary, I think you did a beautiful job with this matter!"

The corners of Morax's mouth curled up slightly as he spoke softly.

"Because of the contract with the second Cryo Archon, it was not convenient for me to show my face."

"But what Snezhnaya did this time, not only you, but even I could not tolerate."

"So I tacitly approved of Ningguang and the others mobilizing troops, and I also tacitly approved of you going directly to the city of Snezhnaya."

Jiang Yan heard Morax's words and snorted coldly, saying nothing more biting.

"You should have come with me at the time; maybe then, I really would have wiped out Snezhnaya."

Jiang Yan said, but Morax shook his head.

"You wouldn't have wiped out Snezhnaya."

Morax's tone was certain.

"Oh? So sure? You know what I'm like when my temper flares up."

Jiang Yan's eyes flickered with an obscure light.

"It is precisely because I understand you that I say so."

Morax looked at Jiang Yan's expression and laughed immediately.

"Whether it was thousands of years ago when we first met, or now, after we have known each other for thousands of years, you are still you."

"You have always been nurturing and cultivating Liyue."

"Snezhnaya cannot be destroyed; once Snezhnaya is destroyed, Liyue's imaginary enemy will disappear, and Liyue will lose its motivation to move forward and will begin to slide toward decadence."

"Born in adversity, die in comfort; that was what you taught me back then."

Jiang Yan lowered his head, his face showing no expression.

"Tsk, you really do understand me."

Jiang Yan curled his lips slightly and then stood up.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going."

"Wait."

Morax called out to Jiang Yan, looking at him, or more specifically, at the position on the back of Jiang Yan's hand where the Soul Gem was located.

"What are your plans for Dottore?"

Morax had been observing Jiang Yan and the Snezhnaya group from not far away.

So, naturally, Morax knew about Jiang Yan imprisoning Dottore's soul.

"What? Did someone come to you to plead for him?"

Jiang Yan glanced at Morax.

"Not at all, I just wanted to ask you what your plans are for dealing with the Doctor, Dottore."

Morax shook his head and said in a flat tone.

"Plans? There are no plans."

Jiang Yan shrugged and said to Morax.

"For Dottore, there has only ever been one option."

"I will have him suffer torture for all eternity; never, ever dream of entering the cycle of reincarnation."

"This is the price for provoking me."

Morax sighed softly.

Dottore, oh Dottore, who told you to provoke the person you should least provoke?

"Why are you sighing?"

Jiang Yan looked at Morax strangely.

This old guy, don't tell me he's having a saintly moment??

That's not good!

Wait, that's not right; the dignified Morax was a guy who killed gods without blinking during the Archon War.

How could he feel sorry for Dottore, who harmed the people of Liyue?

"I'm not sighing because you're going to execute Dottore."

Seeing Jiang Yan's strange look, Morax twitched his mouth and explained quickly.

One Dottore is not enough to make Morax sigh.

He, Morax, is not saintly to that extent.

"I'm sighing because of your methods of torturing people."

"Sometimes I wonder, how did you come up with these torture methods?"

Yes, Jiang Yan's methods of torturing people are in a league of their own.

For Morax, those who provoke him or are his enemies are directly smashed down with a rock spear and a meteor.

Smashed to death directly to avoid future trouble.

But Jiang Yan is different; Jiang Yan is like a living Yama.

If you provoke him and fall into his hands.

Then you'd better pray that Jiang Yan lets you die quickly.

Otherwise, you will wish you were dead!

But clearly, there are only a few people who can make Jiang Yan so angry that he tortures them for all eternity.

The key figures in the major case that broke out in Liyue more than a decade ago, the Millelith Guard case.

And now Dottore.

This is also because Jiang Yan hadn't obtained the Infinity Stones when the gods besieged Guili Plains during the Archon War.

Otherwise, Wuwang Hill should be very lively right now; at the very least, Dottore would have a few more companions.

"Small tricks, small tricks, don't be nervous."

Jiang Yan said with a laugh.

Is this a matter of small tricks?

Morax glanced at Jiang Yan indifferently.

He had watched Jiang Yan torture Dottore for a whole day.

If he hadn't known Jiang Yan's personality for many years, Morax might even think that Jiang Yan's mental state had some problems in certain aspects.

"Alright, since you have already made your choice regarding Dottore."

Morax said indifferently.

"Then I won't bother you anymore."
