Chapter 50

"Ah, there's nothing left to do in Qingce Village. I heard we were planning a new city and preparing to establish a nation, so I hurried back."

Marchosius's tone remained as deep as ever.

Havria also smiled from the side.

Clearly, having joined Morax's faction, Havria no longer had the anxiety and haggardness she had in Sal Terrae; she now radiated vitality from head to toe.

"Hmm, if you've just returned, go see Morax. With your help, things might go much faster."

Marchosius nodded upon hearing Jiang Yan's words and was about to lead the group away, but was stopped by Jiang Yan.

"Hey, Marchosius, it's been so long, shouldn't we have a banquet tonight?"

Jiang Yan chuckled, draping his arm over Marchosius's shoulder.

To be honest, he hadn't eaten Marchosius's cooking in a long time.

Come to think of it, he really missed it.

"No way? You're ordering me around the moment I get back?"

Marchosius widened his eyes, looking at Jiang Yan in disbelief.

"Oh, don't be like that~"

"As the God of the Stove, shouldn't you show off your culinary skills after coming back from so far away?"

Jiang Yan grinned, looking just like a wicked capitalist.

No.

Perhaps in Marchosius's eyes, he already was one.

"Enough! Stop smiling, it's creepy."

Marchosius shrugged, looking helpless.

"Let's wait until tonight; we'll all get together if everyone's free."

"Hehe, no problem, definitely free!"

Jiang Yan chuckled and patted Marchosius's shoulder.

Since his goal was achieved, there was naturally no need for Jiang Yan to block them anymore.

Go do whatever you need to do!

"Heh heh! Looks like there's a big feast to eat tonight!"

Recalling Marchosius's cooking, Jiang Yan was still very much looking forward to it.

So, what's next...

Nothing to do today, go listen to storytelling at the teahouse... pfft! Go listen to storytelling on the street! ===== CHAPTER 134 =====

With the addition of Marchosius and the others, the speed of relocating the people and building the new city increased significantly.

Jiang Yan mobilized parts of the Millelith from the border and the Tianheng army, and even called Xiao back.

A month later.

The people who had moved to the new area joined this massive city-building campaign.

One could see Azhdaha sensing a high-quality stone through the ley lines, and Morax using his Geo elemental power to make it fly up.

Xiao followed behind, catching the stone after it flew out, and flew toward Jiang Yan's direction with a "swish, swish, swish!"

Jiang Yan then took the giant stone delivered by Xiao and used the characteristics of vector manipulation to continuously change its form according to the style on the blueprints.

Finally, an exquisite stone relief appeared and was transported away by the Millelith.

The city construction proceeded in full swing just like that.

With the help of the adepti and Archons like Morax, the area south of Mount Tianheng changed day by day.

Finally, after nearly half a year.

A brand-new Liyue Harbor appeared before everyone's eyes.

Finally, after the Yujing Terrace was completely finished, almost everyone burst into cheers.

Jiang Yan also looked at this Liyue Harbor, which he had helped build, and a feeling both strange and familiar suddenly arose in his heart.

Especially standing on this Yujing Terrace, looking at the surrounding scenery.

Although the vegetation planted now hadn't started to grow yet, Jiang Yan believed that as time went on, Liyue Harbor would become as prosperous as it was in the game.

"What are you thinking about?"

Morax walked up and asked softly.

"Looking at the place we built with our own hands."

Jiang Yan's tone carried a sense of emotion.

"Indeed... to this day, this city is finally built."

Morax and Jiang Yan looked at the scenery together, feeling the same emotion.

No one would have thought that an Archon who was indifferent to the world and had no intention of participating in the struggle for the world would become the winner of this land.

And this winner was the one looked down upon by Chi, the God of Dreams, and Osial...

The God of Geo, Morax!

"The capital is established, it's time to prepare for the founding of the nation."

After a long while, Jiang Yan suddenly spoke.

"Hmm, wait for Guizhong and Ganyu to finish drafting the basic laws, and just set the date."

"The the Liyue Qixing and the Eight Gates systems have been in preparation for half a year. According to what you said, you will serve as the Chief the Liyue Qixing, the Tianquan."

Morax started laughing as he spoke.

"Come to think of it, you only proposed the the Liyue Qixing and Eight Gates systems so you could be a bit lazier, right?"

"Didn't expect to accidentally get yourself stuck in it."

Jiang Yan's face instantly turned black.

"Alright, shut up."

Jiang Yan said irritably.

"Can you be busier than you, the Geo Archon?"

"Eh, don't say that. I only direct the development direction once a year; specifically speaking, I'm actually quite free."

Morax smiled slightly, his handsome face looking extremely punchable to Jiang Yan.

"Fine, you old man, hurry up and shut up; I don't want to hear you talk anymore."

Jiang Yan looked helpless.

"Heh heh, boring. I'm going to see Azhdaha and the others."

Perhaps having had his fill of teasing Jiang Yan, Morax hummed a little tune and strolled away.

Jiang Yan stood on Yujing Terrace.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

Damn it!

I must make sure Morax doesn't have a moment of peace in the future!

I have to go find him to chat whenever I have the chance.

The people's carnival lasted until the evening.

At night, everyone gathered at Yujing Terrace, watching the commoners singing and dancing to celebrate the birth of Liyue Harbor.

The carnival lasted until late at night.

Returning to his room in the middle of the night, Ganyu saw Jiang Yan, who was dead drunk, sprawled on the bed, not knowing if he was alive or dead.

Even though Jiang Yan's alcohol tolerance had reached the level of being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk over these hundred years.

But who could withstand Marchosius and Azhdaha taking turns pouring drinks for him?

The key was that these two usually looked honest and simple, but when it came to drinking, they were sharper than anyone.

After a few initial sips, they first made a contract with Jiang Yan that whoever used elemental power would be the grandson.

And they did it in front of Morax, no less.

Then they started taking turns pouring drinks for Jiang Yan.

And then Jiang Yan ended up like this. ===== CHAPTER 135 =====
