Chapter 153 Do you understand Prince Yan or do I understand Prince Yan
Chapter 153 Do you understand Prince Yan or do I understand Prince Yan
As the saying goes, three people make a play, and the three archaeologists were also dismantling their own stages.
Han Xue retorted: "No, no, no, according to my research, the status of the first Mora in history may not be that simple."
"As we all know, Mora is essentially a catalyst. Even today, there is still a legend of using Mora's effect in mysticism to strengthen weapons."
"The world's first Mora must contain the most powerful power, so my next historical work must boldly demonstrate the latest results of my ten years of dedicated research!"
"That is..." The middle-aged man actually showed the passionate expression of his youth on his face, and said firmly: "Prince Yan used this Mora to strengthen his sword and knife."
Paimon asked in confusion, "A sword and a knife? But why did Lord Yan create these two weapons?"
Mo Ran smiled faintly, Zhong Li's expression remained unchanged, and the middle-aged man snorted, "Please buy the book and read the full text when the time comes. Now I will only reveal a small part."
"If you get the knife, you can become the Supreme of Liyue. If you draw the sword, you can be crowned the King of Liyue."
Zhongli was no longer silent and interrupted, "I beg to differ."
Hanxue looked at the guy who called himself a idler with dissatisfaction, waiting for what to happen next.
Zhongli continued, "Let's not talk about the authenticity of the sword. The so-called Mora and money were originally created to be a bargaining chip to facilitate the establishment of a contract."
"The Emperor's original intention was to guide humans to use Mora for transactions. I believe that the first Mora in the world was also treated as an ordinary Mora and was spent casually."
Mo Ran nodded and said in a deep voice: "What Mr. Zhongli said does make sense. After all, with the power of the Emperor, why would he need swords to help him? Even if he made them, they should be long spears like the ones used by the Liyue Qianyan Army. How could they be swords?"
"Even if it's just fabricated nonsense, there has to be a limit!"
Before Hanxue could speak, Yixuan retorted: "I think what Mr. Hanxue said makes sense. On the contrary, how can Mr. Zhongli and Mr. Mo Ran conclude that Prince Yan has no far-reaching plans without any evidence?"
Zhongli shook his head and continued, "No, my evaluation does not contain praise or criticism, it is just a statement of fact."
Han Xue looked disdainful and gnashed his teeth as he said, "Come on, do you understand Prince Yan or do I understand Prince Yan?!"
Mo Ran closed his eyes. He could roughly guess the reason why Zhongli called him over. Then he opened his eyes, and his gaze was as sharp as a sword that pierced people's spines.
The three people sitting together were suddenly startled.
Mo Ran said in a cold voice: "Perhaps the only one who truly understands Lord Yan is himself. You are discussing possibilities. If there is no disagreement at all, then what is there to discuss?"
"Besides, how can we mortals understand the intentions of the gods? Who dares to say that he is fully aware of historical events? Who dares to claim to know everything?"
"Since you can't stand other people's rebuttals, you should leave as soon as possible. The purpose of the seminar is to summarize everything, take the essence and discard the dross. If not, there is no need to continue this meeting!"
Hanxue's face turned livid and he breathed heavily, but he could not utter a word and could only give up in anger.
Yixuan was not willing to give in, and continued to ask: "I don't think so. The person who understands the most may not be me. Others also understand, just like I understand the True Lord of Demon Extermination better than you all!"
Zhongli said softly: "Oh? Tell me about it."
Yixuan spoke proudly, "According to my research, the name of Mora was given by the True Lord Dangmo Chuzhang. On that day, the Lord saw that it was inconvenient for people to trade, so he had a sudden idea and used his divine power to create the world's first Mora."
"Afterwards, it was not only used as a place for trade, but when the Emperor bestowed the skill, he also used objects made of Mora. Later, the Immortal Emperor believed that such an object that benefited the world should have a resounding name."
"So, I took the first two characters of Lord Yan's name as my name. Do you two gentlemen know this?"
Zhongli said calmly: "It is true."
Mo Ran said calmly: "Not all."
After the two finished speaking, it was Hanxue's turn to get excited. He shouted, "Okay, then you tell me! If it wasn't because he valued Mora's divine power, why would Prince Yan do such an extravagant thing?"
Zhongli said slowly: "This is easy to explain, because for the Emperor, Mora is the easiest and cheapest material to obtain."
Mo Ran sneered and said, "You don't think that the Mora you treasure is also very precious to the Emperor, do you? Haha, the fact is just the opposite. For the Emperor, he can create thousands of Mora at will."
"Since you are discussing the first Mora created by the Emperor, you should look at it from the Emperor's perspective, not your own."
"Could it be that you think your vision is longer-term than that of the Emperor? Or do you think that since the Emperor has already passed away, no one will care even if he talks nonsense?"
The two people who had lived half their lives were speechless at this moment, because the young man in front of them was too talkative and they could not afford to offend him.
Sora smiled and said, "It's like telling someone else's story."
Zhongli chuckled and said, "It's originally the story of the Rock King."
Paimeng nodded meaningfully, looked at the man in black, and said, "I originally thought that Mo Ran knew about the affairs of the immortals because of his ancestors' good deeds. Now it seems that you have good relationships with people too! Otherwise, Zhongli would not have told you these ancient stories."
In Paimeng's eyes, Mo Ran knew all this and described it so vividly because Zhongli, the hidden Rock King, had told him. Otherwise, how could a businessman know this? Was he too idle?
Mo Ran concealed the murderous intent in his eyes, and returned to his usual easy-going appearance. He slowly said, "I only know a little bit. I don't dare to claim to know the entire ancient history, but it's all about the affairs of the immortals."
Mo Ran sneered a few times, and then said: "For example, I know more about the True Lord of Exorcism and Removal of Obstacles than some archaeologists who claim to know everything and publish books to make money."
The two archaeologists who were verbally slandered immediately looked gloomy, but they held back their anger because anyone who could board the Zhudian Boat would not be of low status, and it would be troublesome if this person was a troublesome person.
On the contrary, the woman named Wanyan asked with a twinkling look in her eyes, "Sir! I have some questions about archaeology and would like to go to a quiet place to ask you. Will it disturb you?"
Zhongli glanced at the man in black and nodded, "That's fine, but I wonder if my friends can come along? Maybe they can provide more help."
"Since sir has said so, of course you are welcome. Let's go." Wanyan led everyone to a secluded corner on the Jiangzhu Boat.
The woman, who was not very pretty, whispered, "What I am going to say next is somewhat disrespectful to the Rock God and will attract a lot of cold stares, so it is better to say it in a quiet place."
"I have just seen that Mr. Wang speaks very well and thinks clearly. The most important thing is that he does not believe in bragging or interpretation and is very objective."
"So I want to ask you a question. Perhaps I can get a different answer from ordinary scholars. Do you think that all the demons killed by the God of Rock are evil?"
Zhongli exhaled lightly and said, "Let's put aside the question of good and evil. The Rock King Emperor pays attention to contracts, so the demons who died at his hands must have broken some kind of contract."
Paimon nodded and chimed in, "At least the Rock King Emperor wouldn't do something like killing innocent people."
Mo Ran looked at the calm sea and said with emotion: "Osel is a typical example. Because it attacked Liyue Harbor, it was an enemy of Liyue, so the Emperor suppressed and sealed it."
"In general, in a war, there is no right or wrong on either side, there is only a winner and a loser. Only by winning can you survive and your descendants will suffer less."
"So in the eyes of the people of Liyue, the Emperor is a well-deserved hero, and the demon god who invaded Liyue and caused the destruction of human families and the separation of wives and children naturally became the evil demon god in your mouth."
"All these views are based on whose citizen you are. It is really hard to say whether you are good or evil."
Mo Ran knew that the woman in front of him was a descendant of the former Salt Demon God's people, but he was not very clear about it. He had clearly engraved the truth about the Salt Demon God's death on the stone tablet, so why did this person still think that there was something wrong with Morax?
It is impossible to say that the stone tablet has disappeared due to its age. Mo Ran had seen it before. Although the stone tablet is ancient, the words on it are still clearly visible.
This is all thanks to the elemental power replenished by the Rock King in the middle of the journey, otherwise the stone tablet would have turned to dust and disappeared with the wind long ago.
Mo Ran was confused, but he still planned to listen to what this man had to say before discussing the accusation afterwards.
