Ye Lan suddenly understood, and then guessed, "Could all of these things be arranged by the Emperor? Why does the Emperor trust that Luo De so much?"

Instead of entrusting their own affairs to their own family members, they ask an outsider for help.

This made Yelan and Ningguang start to wonder if there was some special relationship between Rhodes and the Rock King.

If so.

Then they will inevitably have to change some of their evaluations and attitudes towards Rhodes.

Even if that's not the case.

For this incident alone, Liyue owes Rhodes a favor, and in any case, they should still be given the preferential treatment they deserve.

While the two of them were pondering this matter...

Rhodes, Xiao, Apep, and Zhongli were sitting in a beautiful fairyland, admiring a golden dragon horn.

The Dragon King Naga's natural dragon crown.

With the help of this item, one can draw upon the four elemental forces of water, fire, ice, and lightning from the earth's veins for one's own use.

This.

That was the benefit that Appepp had promised to give to Rhodes.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 249 New Contract

According to Liyue's records.

The Dragon King Ruoduo is as large as a mountain, and when the earth dragon turns over, it can shake the heavens and the earth.

Its enormous size is in no way inferior to that of Dulin and his ilk, who perished in the Dragon Ridge Mountains.

When Zhongli suppressed him in the past.

Wherever the god and the dragon passed, mountains and rivers were all crushed into valleys, and the traces of their battle are still clearly visible even after a thousand years.

It stands to reason.

The crystal horns on the head of the Dragon King Ruoduo must be at least several stories high.

But now, the dragon horns in front of Rhodes measured them and found they were only slightly longer than his arm.

If it weren't for the fact that the person who gave him this thing was the Grass Dragon King Apep.

Rhodes really couldn't believe that they had broken this thing off the head of the Dragon King Rahu.

The dragon horn resembled a natural golden crystal, and it was heavy in the hand. Even with Rhodes' strength, he had to use all his strength to hold it.

As Apep and Zhongli said.

Strictly speaking, the dragon horns of the Naga King Ratna can no longer be considered dragon horns; it would be more appropriate to call them a crown.

Despite being the dragon king of the Geo element.

But this crown, besides containing the powerful and heavy rock element, also possesses the power of water, fire, ice, and lightning.

Count it up.

This dragon king crown alone can grant a person the ability to wield the power of the five elements.

A gift that could be called a good thing by Apep, the grass dragon king who has lived for ten thousand years, is indeed no ordinary thing.

"A bit...too expensive."

The saying goes, "One should not accept rewards without merit."

Although Rhodes did indeed get involved in the deal between Appepp and Zhongli, helping Appepp complete the transaction, the gift was simply too valuable.

It was so valuable that even Rhodes felt guilty accepting it.

He believed that what he had done was far from deserving of the Dragon King's crown.

If he accepts this gift so easily, who knows how Appepp will manipulate him in the future!

Rod's worries.

In Appepp's eyes, it all boiled down to a few domineering words: "Just accept it as I tell you to. Do you think I'll take back what I've given you?"

resignedly.

Rhodes could only turn to Zhongli for help.

However, Zhongli nodded in acknowledgment and said with a smile, "Young friend, you should accept this courtesy."

Even he said so.

Despite his doubts, Rhodes had no choice but to accept the generous gift.

"Thank you, Lord Caolong, thank you, Your Majesty."

There's nothing else to say but thank you.

"Humph--"

"hypocritical."

Apep always spoke her mind, and knowing that Rhodes wasn't willing to accept this gift, her words were naturally unpleasant.

Zhongli calmly accepted Luo De's thanks and also explained to Luo De, "Without this item, it would be much more difficult for you to nurture the remnant soul of the floating abode."

"Ok?"

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

Rod blinked and took out the crystal that Apep had kept with him.

Since neither Apep nor Zhongli had taught him how to nurture the remnant soul, he hadn't paid any attention to the crystal during this time, simply carrying it close to his body.

Therefore, the remnant soul within the crystal did not undergo any miraculous changes, remaining as faint as a candle flame in the wind.

"Do you know how you raised that guy?"

Apep was referring to the Great Tree King.

Rhodes replied matter-of-factly, “Because we share the same origin, her remnant consciousness can reside in my divine eye.”

"It's more than that."

Apepterod continued, "You have unparalleled compatibility with the elemental forces of this world. Any elemental force that passes through your hands can be amplified to a certain extent. Oh, by the way, you should know what the Heart of God is made of, right?"

"."

"Know."

Rod probably knew what Appep wanted to say.

He is a humanoid version of God's Heart.

It just doesn't have the vast elemental power stored inside the Heart of God.

After explaining all of this.

Apep fiddled with the green crystal in his hand: "Your Thunder Element Eye of God is not very useful to him. They are not from the same source. Even if you can nurture it, the effect will be minimal, so you still have to use this."

talking.

Apep tapped the dragon crown of the Naga King of Rota with his finger.

Rod listened to these words thoughtfully.

Like Xiao, Fushe is a Yaksha born before the war between demons and gods, before the rules were established by the laws of nature.

According to the definition of elemental organisms.

They are all life forms born from the elements of Teyvat. Elemental sedimentation creates slimes, while elemental ascent forms crystal butterflies. Only a very few lucky ones become even more dangerous elemental monsters.

Dragons, yakshas, ​​and immortals were all born in Teyvat in this way.

Apep was an elemental being born before the new rules were established by the Heavenly Principles. Therefore, the elemental power she used was very different from the elemental power commonly used on the Teyvat continent. In other words, the elemental power she used should actually be called the power of light.

This is why she regarded the Great Tree King as her daughter.

Because of this continent.

Apart from the original Dragon King.

No one shares the same origin as her anymore.

After Tenri defeated the Dragon King and redefined the elemental rules.

The elemental life forms that emerged during this period are essentially new types of elemental forces under the new rules.

It is also known as the elemental force of the human realm.

Xiao, a fairy from Liyue, Lannaro, a pure water spirit, and the second-generation Dragon King, all use human power.

The incident occurred after the Third Heavenly Principle War ended.

The Celestial Principle, severely damaged by Nibelungen, the Dragon King, was unable to maintain the elemental order of Teyvat. Therefore, it created the Seven Thrones and the Eye of God system, thus changing the elemental power system of Teyvat once again.

This elemental power system can be said to be specially designed for mortals by the laws of nature.

Specific manifestations.

It means that the elemental power currently in use has been mixed with the power of will.

This is a power unique to humans.

The wishes of mortals are sent to the heavens. If they are approved by Sky Island, they will receive gifts from the gods and possess fragments of divine power, namely the Eye of God.

Appepp's idea is very clear.

That is, Rhodes used his own medium to amplify the lightning elemental power drawn from the earth's veins, thereby nurturing the Floating House, a lightning elemental creature whose essence is to use the power of the human world.

After such a floating dwelling is reborn.

It was the Yaksha Fushe who had not yet been tainted by the power of human desires, not the later Tengshe Grand Marshal Fushe who fought for humanity.

Zhongli seemed to tacitly approve of her actions.

"Don't you want Fushe to continue to bear the burden of the contract, and instead let him have a fresh start?"

Rhodes thought to himself, then asked a new question: "What about the body? How do you plan to solve Fushe's body problem?"
