Chapter 342: Meeting Morax! (Please subscribe!!)

~7 min read 1,373 words

"Traveler, look!"

Paimon soon discovered Morax sitting alone in the small pavilion and quickly said to Lumine on the other side.

When Lumine came over and saw Morax drinking tea there, her eyes also revealed a look of surprise.

She was finally going to see the Geo Archon of Liyue!

As an ancient god.

Would he know about her brother?

Lumine’s eyes carried a hint of nervousness.

Paimon seemed to see something, came to Lumine’s shoulder, and seemed to be cheering her up.

Lumine took a deep breath and then walked forward.

A strange god, whether friend or foe, whether friendly or not, was still unknown.

And at this time, Morax had long noticed Lumine hesitating in that direction.

When he saw Lumine muster the courage to walk toward him, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

To meet the Seven Archons for the sake of her brother’s news.

This courage is not something an ordinary person can have.

"Traveler from afar, I wonder what brings you here?"

Seeing that the other party had reached his front, Morax asked softly.

Morax’s opening words left Lumine stunned.

She didn’t expect this Liyue god, whom she hadn’t talked to, to know her.

"You know me?"

Lumine asked curiously.

"Of course."

Morax nodded.

"Your deeds in Mondstadt are heard of even in Liyue."

"It seems we have some reputation after all."

Paimon said to Lumine with a smile.

Lumine nodded, and then she looked at Morax and said to him:

"Respected Lord of Geo, I want to know about my brother..."

Lumine described her brother’s appearance and characteristics to Morax in detail.

As well as some rumors and insights about her brother.

After hearing this, Morax also fell into a long-lost silence.

"So that’s how it is..."

Morax said softly.

"Based on your description of your brother, in my memory, there is indeed some impression."

"Your brother, his name is Aether, right?"

Morax thought for a while and said to Lumine in front of him.

This life is different from the previous one.

Because Jiang Yan did not let the Fatui enter Liyue without authorization, and also constantly wiped out Abyss Mages and other monsters within the territory.

Plus, Jiang Yan was directly involved in the Khaenri’ah war back then.

This also led to the fact that in the previous game, Morax’s groundless contract did not appear.

In the game, when the Traveler asked Morax about her brother’s whereabouts.

Morax directly used the excuse of having a contract and being unable to violate it, so he couldn’t tell them about Aether.

But in this life, perhaps because of Jiang Yan.

It led to Morax not having the opportunity, no, not the need, to sign so-called contracts with those who had ulterior motives.

Liyue is the strongest country, and even Celestia has to give Jiang Yan three points of respect.

After the Khaenri’ah war, Celestia originally wanted to cast a curse directly, but was stopped by Jiang Yan.

Moreover, the reason why Khaenri’ah is in its current state is also the result of Jiang Yan and Celestia working together.

If Morax joined the plan plotted by the Fatui.

Then Jiang Yan would become the target of public criticism.

Therefore, Morax would not choose to join the Fatui’s plan.

As long as the Fatui does not affect Liyue’s peace, Morax will not care.

So now, Morax naturally wants to say whatever he wants about the Traveler’s brother’s news.

However, he hasn’t paid much attention to it.

After all, most things are usually handled by Jiang Yan.

Even when Jiang Yan was sleeping, because the clone Jiang Yan had already perfected Liyue’s official system based on the main body’s memory before dissipating.

Therefore, during the period when Morax was replacing Jiang Yan, he didn’t actually manage too many things.

Morax didn’t pay much attention to the Traveler’s brother coming to Liyue to travel.

Speaking of which, the name Aether was told to him by Jiang Yan before.

Otherwise, Morax wouldn’t have much impression of it.

Although he has no erosion now, he has lived for more than six thousand years, and his memory is too vast.

"Yes! That’s my brother!"

Lumine’s eyes lit up; she didn’t expect the Geo Archon to say Aether’s name without her saying her brother’s name.

Then it seems that the Geo Archon Morax knows a little bit about her brother.

As expected of an ancient god who has lived for more than six thousand years!

"About your brother... I really don’t know much."

After hesitating for a while, Morax finally told the Traveler the truth.

"Your brother should have traveled in Liyue for a period of time five hundred years ago."

"I don’t have a deep impression of him, because he seemed to have come to Liyue just to travel, so I didn’t pay too much attention to him."

When hearing Morax say this.

Lumine showed a disappointed look.

Does even the most ancient god have no reliable news...

Brother, where have you gone...

"Traveler..."

Paimon also saw Lumine’s sad look, and she didn’t feel good either.

As the Traveler’s good guide and closest friend.

Paimon knows how deep the Traveler’s feelings are for her brother.

If even the Geo Archon Morax, known as the most ancient god, doesn’t know, then who else could...

Wait!

Paimon suddenly thought of someone!

When they met Mr. Zhongli, Mr. Zhongli once mentioned someone.

The Geo Archon Morax is the god of the Geo country, and his jurisdiction is to descend to the world once a year for the Rite of Descension.

The one who truly governs Liyue is an adeptus!

This adeptus is the real deal, having been the ruler of Liyue, governing the country for thousands of years.

Since the founding of Liyue, that adeptus has been the general manager of Liyue, managing the country all along.

His name... is...

Immortal Wood Spirit!!

"Lord of Geo, I wonder if you know any news about Immortal Wood Spirit?"

Paimon suddenly spoke up and asked Morax.

Lumine looked at Paimon, her eyes lighting up.

That’s right!

How could she have forgotten this person?

If the Geo Archon Morax knows very little about her brother.

Then would Immortal Wood Spirit, the general manager who has always governed Liyue, know more?

At this moment, a glimmer of hope flashed in Lumine’s heart.

And Jiang Yan, who was on a tree, changed his expression.

Damn!

How did this get back to him again?!

But Jiang Yan quickly returned to calm.

It’s not that easy to find him.

Not to mention that he had already promised Morax that he needed to go to the Dark Sea next.

Even if Lumine and Paimon wanted to find him, it might not be very effective.

After all, his main body is not here, and even if there are clues to his traces, it’s just a waste of effort.

Morax obviously knew this too, and when he heard Paimon’s question, he chuckled.

"If you want to ask Immortal Wood Spirit about your brother, that is indeed a good way."

"Compared to me, he has been the Tianshu of Liyue for many years, always managing Liyue, and probably knows more about your brother than I do."

Lumine and Paimon’s eyes lit up at the same time, and just as they wanted to say something, they heard Morax continue.

"However, it’s better for you to give up this idea for now."

Hearing Morax say this, Lumine and Paimon were stunned.

"Why?"

Lumine’s tone was clearly filled with a hint of anxiety.

They finally had a clue, and now Morax was telling them to give up the idea.

"Traveler, calm down..."

Paimon patted Lumine’s shoulder softly.

Lumine took a deep breath, as if calming her mood.

And Morax waited until Lumine’s emotions calmed down before slowly explaining his reason.

"It’s not that I don’t want you to look for Immortal Wood Spirit."

"But, he is not in Liyue right now."

"Not in Liyue?"

This really surprised Lumine and Paimon.

Originally, they thought Immortal Wood Spirit would be like the Geo Archon, just living in seclusion somewhere in Liyue.

As a result, this Geo Archon told them that Immortal Wood Spirit is not in Liyue territory now.
