Zhongli spills the tea... (Genshin Impact)

hey zhang lee what you doing oh i didn't think i would see you here are these two your friends yes yes we had the fortune of meeting not too long ago they are quite a knowledgeable and talented pair and a pleasure to be around he complimented us guys he complimented us traveler we were just discussing the history of rex lepis would you like to listen he's talking about himself this good sir seems not to appreciate the almighty power of the lord of geo as a professional archaeologist i'm inclined to correct some of his erroneous views no one knows better than him we are discussing the whereabouts of the first maura the first maura as everyone knows the lord of geo taught the ancient people of leo earth the craft of smelting creating goods that allowed them to develop trade with the early nations of that time today leo holds the sole right to cast mora in the entire continent of tibet the world's very first maura should have been cast by the hands of the lord of geo himself thousands of years ago true according to my research as well as my own hypothesis i believe that this coin of unique historical significance has been passed down secretly through the years as a kind of token for example perhaps the chi singh who control the liu use it in some kind of unknown ceremony they hold when they come to power no no no my research indicates that the first moral coin is not such a simple thing edmore is a catalyst this we all know even today more is used in the mystic arts for its curious properties of weapon enhancement i'm sorry for saying this but nerds the world's first maura would no doubt possess the strongest power if my next historical treatise will boldly expound on the newest findings from my intense decade-long research that is that the lord of geo used this original mora as a catalyst to enhance a dagger in a sword oh a dagger and a sword well by the book when it comes out to read the full story for now i will only reveal this the one who finds the dagger shall become supreme in the leeway and the one who finds the sword may be crowned leeways sovereign i can't say i agree let us not speak of the authenticity of the dagger and sword first but mora and money came about simply because they are a convenient measure of a contract's value rex lapis just meant for maura to serve as a catalyst for people to exchange and trade the world's first maura is probably just an ordinary coin created by rex lapis as for its fate the same is all more i suspect it was simply spent somewhere so it's just out there in circulation hmm i think that mr hunchua's hypothesis seems reasonable mr zhong li's argument on the other hand lacks any evidence how can you so easily dismiss the lord of geo's profound foresight no no i am not debating right or wrong i am simply stating a fact oh enough do you think you understand the lord of geo more than me actually i i i know but little about history and i wouldn't dare to brag but discussion is meaningless if everyone has the same opinion no oh true well then answer me this long ago when leewar harbor was being constructed the lord of geo taught the people how to build houses the model home he used to teach them was completely cast from maura correct oh really that is correct indeed okay then tell me why would the lord of geo do something so extravagant if not because of the mystical power that maura contains there's a simple explanation really to the god of wealth and commerce what material is easier to get than more true you can literally spawn more why not build your house out of more if you can literally materialize it out of thin air it's like you're telling someone else's tail i mean i am talking about rex lapis hmm excuse me sir uh i have some questions about archaeology can we find somewhere quiet to chat i mean if it's okay with you oh it's no problem at all but may my friend accompany us perhaps they could be of some help oh me of course they can come if that's what pleases you sir let's go what i'm about to say is a bit disrespectful of the lord of geo and would draw a lot of angry looks so it's best to discuss this somewhere quiet okay your argument just now exhibited a cuteness of speech and thought most importantly you don't fall for the boasting and acting of the others you remain objective so i have a question for you perhaps you will answer differently from other scholars do you think that all the gods that the geo arkhan killed were evil oh let's not analyze it in terms of good versus evil rex lapis placed great importance on the integrity of contracts so any gods he killed certainly must have broken some kind of contract okay right the word of geo wouldn't kill the innocent how do we know that but when i was doing some research i learned about the legend of the god of salt the god of salt havria was a very kind god but she encountered morax one day in battle morax used a rather underhanded trick to assassinate her huh is this true is this true zhangli what no way this this bit of history is a brother but you may not like the truth when you hear it ah what did you do please tell me what you know this event i've already searched for answers for a long time you seem a bit embarrassed no it's just where should i begin oh hey member mr zhong li i've been looking for you wow so you're over here all this time for tui let down your weapon and stay back otherwise uh i'm on's reporting you to the villa first of all i'm not holding a weapon there's no need to overreact now i'm simply an archaeological researcher from shnaya i'm not here for trouble the fertility say that every time true but this time i registered with the liue ministry of civil affairs i could show you the official documentation if you want to see it oh okay i will be conducting an archaeological survey here the results of which will all be shared with the ministry i heard that wang funeral parlor had a consultant named zhang li with immense knowledge of ancient history and archaeology so i paid wang funeral parlor a handsome amount to hire zhong li as my own consultant while i'm in town so you mean to say that this is work for the wong shong funeral parlor yes i think it's best to be cautious because this is still the future we're talking about well since it's work i don't have a choice a consultant of the wong xiang funeral parliament respect their duty okay of course you would be such a reasonable man well then let's head out now shall we wait if you're studying archaeology can i go too i am also a scholar in this field so i can help that will give us a chance to continue the topic we were just discussing oh and you should tag along too i don't really know about anything in archaeology this experience may be of help to you on your future adventures it is a story from before the rise of the seven although the god of salt has already perished it will still be a meaningful experience for your journey okay wait this is an archaeological expedition not a tour group that's too many people but this friend of mine has a treasure-finding talent surpassed by no one it will surely be of great help to us oh what talent if my friend is spies a treasure chest they will absolutely find a way to open it true hey this place looks so ordinary can we really find anything valuable here hey who knows huh hyman thinks it looks really grand i don't mean the scenery but rather that there should be something out of the ordinary a big battle did just occur in all and i don't even know where to begin looking here guys stone forest is actually the perfect place to be if you wish to learn about the gods or the history of the archon war legend has it that rex lapis threw spears made of large rock into the sea piercing and crushing the overlord of the vortex yeah and then child revived it what we see now is just the part of them that remains the stone spears hurled by rex lapis all those years ago were much greater both in number and in size well a god able to fight one so powerful as rex lapis was certainly very strong in its own right yep indeed this is where the value lies in research at gulian stone forest most of the objects from that time were lost to the sea but the gigantic waves created by the overlord of the vortex have given those sunken objects a chance to see the light of day again so you're saying that if we look carefully we'll be able to get very very rich i mean rich with archaeological knowledge and historical value yes that's all i seek in life ah yeah sure you're starting to sound just like pymon since we brought so many people i think it would be best to split up and look okay then i will go with my friend here although i have a smattering of knowledge in various disciplines when it comes to archaeology i can't compete with the expert here huh me what's the matter this is your profession why are you so surprised i get it i'll escort him then it must be so weird for zhang li to be talking about himself in the third person oh goodness do you run so fast leave me alone i've never faced these dudes before i'm sorry jongley i couldn't pay attention to your dialogue but i'm being chased by a bunch of enemies that i've never faced before okay those are the scariest enemies i've ever faced in this entire game you call yourself a scholar of archaeology you can't even recognize this or that what are you good for hey man chill we all have our areas of expertise i already tried very hard to explain oh stop arguing what in the world happened this girl just keeps bragging about how she's an archaeologist but she doesn't even know anything about the surrounding ruins i even know more than her she left me to rely solely on guessing i mean experience to find anything valuable to take back what a waste of time uh i've just been researching the god of salt so i'm not familiar with sea relics is that so strange and you you kept asking about how much maura everything is worth can the value of relics only be measured in maura i i mean isn't measuring their value in more of the easiest way this also matches the traditions of liu does it not now now calm down no need to make a fuss we were able to bring back some intriguing objects let's have a look oh what a shame these objects were indeed washed ashore by the overlord of the vortex but they have nothing to do with the god besides being in the vicinity at the time this stone slab we found however has a mysterious pattern and faint aura of divine power perhaps it will be useful for research purposes quick give it to me at least we didn't come for nothing the power of the gods yes this is good so it's only valuable for research if there are remnants of divine power on it not at all my quest to uncover the history of the god of salt is because history can tell us about culture and beliefs but you you're just trying to use archaeology to get rich nonsense i'm a professional archaeology researcher from snezhnia i swear if i'm lying may the lord of geos strike me down no you're trying to get rich off of archaeology oh by the way you probably don't want to sell that teacup oh why's that that's not an ancient teacup it's part of wing wong's collection oh it must have fallen here along with the jade chamber so unless you want to mess with the chi thing oh ah i see what a shame it was of such high quality too see you do want to sell these objects but so what why can't i pursue wealth both intellectual and material don't be so sympathetic no need to stay here any longer hmm i'm rather quite intrigued by the god of salt too actually let's go to sal tarai next i heard that sao turai was once the home of the god of salt's people therefore there's sure to be loads of valuable relics nearby according to legend the people of the god of salt havria enjoyed prosperous lives under her protection but this legend has been around for ages with the countless scrap collectors and treasure hoarders in the area there probably aren't many valuable things left here that's just great if i knew it was picked this clean before i wouldn't have come i know there's a ruin deep in this cave here it's related to the god of salt which is actually how the area originally got its name of sal turai however the ruin entrance has been sealed by a mysterious power nobody has been able to break the seal i found the mechanism that seemed to be related to the seal but when i undid the mechanism the seal wasn't affected at all so at the moment the seal's origin and how to break it are very important topics in my research on the god of salt is it related to rex lapis i don't know there's no concrete evidence but i'm pretty sure the seal is meant to hide some kind of long forgotten truth oh uh oh the god of salt was a benevolent god adored by the people not to mention powerful she wouldn't have any kind of shameful secrets to hide so the one who wants to hide some truth is very possibly her killer morax this doesn't sound like something the lord of geo would do though who cares about all that it sounds like countless treasures of the god of salt you weren't listening at all were you ugh even if there's a mountain of treasures inside nobody can get in if the seal isn't broken yeah ah but we have the illustrious mr zhong li with us he looks like he knows just about everything a little seal shouldn't be any trouble for him this seal seems to be quite ancient even mr zhang li may not know all of its secrets i think he does i may know something about it what let's go take a look at the mechanism miss wanyan just mentioned is zhang li gonna be exposing himself here what if just what if it's kind of a stupid guess but what if they were in love with each other can archons date each other according to the inscription on the side if one looks from a certain angle the secret to the mechanism will be revealed see that although we activated the mechanism nothing happened to the seal that's because there's actually another mechanism that must be activated let me lead the way from here this place seems familiar huh i remember i think there's some elemental monuments here so you're saying they're related to all this when i investigated the seal last time i had someone with a vision accompany me but when we lit up all the elemental monuments nothing happened that's because you don't just need to activate them at the same time but in a certain order as well otherwise the seal will not be broken uh-oh and we're gonna have to solve a puzzle oh god this is gonna take like 20 minutes tian hung in the south yao guang in the east juayon in the west in the north all desolate and devoid of life leo is vast yet even one haven is hard to find to the north to the east do the people of lee you were always talking riddles i think i've heard the saying before certainly you have and the contents of this saying are also related to the god of salt to provide a haven for her people whose lives had been ravaged by the arkhan war this benevolent god searched all across liu and that haven she eventually found is right here today it is known as sal turai oh so wait saul turai salt okay enough with these ancient stories now that we have the clue hurry up and break the seal south east east west and north easy the seal really was broken mr zhong li is indeed quite remarkable it was nothing really before entering the ruin i have a proposal that will help us prevent the kind of senseless arguing between you two that we saw at guianstone forest i propose you to agree upon a contract stipulating that we alternate who gets claimed to each treasure we encounter with only one object permitted per claim okay to show my sincerity i won't be taking any treasure this will just be between you all i don't need any either hey don't pass an opportunity like this up so easily we gather up so much treasure all the time shut up i don't agree i mean you want me to split the treasure with this amateur archaeologist no absolutely not i don't agree either he will only defile the precious relics left behind by the god of salt uh i can't accept this well then if the contract is not agreed upon i will no longer serve as your no no you will have to rely on your own experience to find whatever treasures are hidden in this ruin as well as traps you you you have the audacity to demand this okay then even half of the treasure in the long-sealed ruin of the god of salt should be enough to make a fortune if you want me to agree upon this contract so be it i just have one request mr shangley if we discovered the truth behind the god of salt you must judge it fairly even if the truth harms morax's image oh i'm sure he will i can accept this arrangement all we're playing is young lee now cool look at his man interesting statues are these statues no these are people wait what quake quake look at this it's filled halfway with salt just looks like a fancy salt holder seems like the god of salt was a god lacking in treasures according to my knowledge it's no ordinary vessel although it is only half full it is also forever half full oh that is to say it is bottomless oh oh wait so there's a there's an infinite amount of salt in there imagine the money you can make off of that what you're saying that even if i pour the salt out the amount inside won't change exactly able to produce endless salt the god of salt is powerful indeed finally after all that effort i found precious treasure i claim this is mine see this goblet may have an infinite amount of salt but it will never be saltier than mcdonald's fries i just need to pour the endless salt into a thousand or ten thousand bags i can sell it and make a fortune hey how can you use a relic of the god of salt for such a shallow pursuit hey man i kind of thought of it too if mr clement wants this salt chalice then the next object we find will belong to miss juanyan according to the contract agreed upon of course as we agreed but how can anything be worth more than this rare find just a simple ruler it doesn't look to be worth anything this if i remember correctly this is some kind of measuring tool indeed but the god of salt imbued it with another power when you stick this ruler in the ground the surrounding area will become covered in salt oh much like a rising tide covers the earth the deeper it is stuck in the ground the more salt will appear it is essentially a bumper harvest of salt what that that's even better than the salt chalice no well then according to our contract the salt ruler goes to miss wanian no unacceptable i paid for and organized this entire expedition why should i get the short end of the stick and this girl has been useless why would she get anything oh my gosh shut up dude here we go again while we're on the topic of useless people so you are saying you want to break the contract so what if i break it now that i've seen how the mechanisms in this ruin work i no longer need you let's not forget who hired who here why should i let you make the rules because you agreed to a contract rex lapis once said ones who break their contracts shall suffer the wrath of the rock of the rock that is one of your leeway gods i am from snezhnia i will suffer the wrath of the rock you may find it rather unpleasant he's going to drop an actual meteor on you [Laughter] i shall confiscate your treasure as well oh you are not worthy to continue any further into the ruin leave this place i'll turn you just you wait some archaeological survey he could only pretend for so long at least we had a guard up i hope he never hope you never become as greedy as him private hey bad things clement's wrongdoing stemmed from greed yes but besides greed there are many other things that may tempt us to break contracts when people see the object of their dreams how many are really able to control their desire and follow the contract question i think we should be honest with each other now huh be honest about what that in truth not a single member of this archaeological expedition came here for archaeology why do you say that miss you lack even the most basic archaeological knowledge and can recognize not but a few simple relics however you are an expert when it comes to anything regarding the god of salt you aren't interested in archaeology or relics what you're really interested in is the god of salt oh i believe those legends about the god of salt that you mentioned on the pearl galley are passed down between generations at genuine hall okay that's enough oh exposed what are you here for sir you are indeed a man of great knowledge and talents i seem to have been right to seek you out once i plucked up my courage you're right i'm not a scholar of archaeology i come from one of the eight trades under the jurisdiction of the chie singh jinyoung hall of the salt industry okay our ancestors were those protected by the god of salt all those years ago when the arkhan war engulfed the land in chaos come to think of i've never heard you say rex lapis right now that you mention it the people of leo very seldom use the name morax during the war morax assassinated our god out of envy for her power he left us alone and lost in the world we we hate him but this is morax's liu after all and its history is written as he wishes so i seek proof of morax's guilt he has blood on his hands and cruelty in his heart oh we agreed to a contract that we will face the truth head-on didn't we mr zhongli you must judge this history fairly naturally of course but i must add leo is no longer morax's leo come with me all the answers you seek lie ahead looks like a boat this is a sword oh it's a sword aha it's a broken sword this is proof this proves that the god of salt had to fight back fight back against the evil morax but sadly she was defeated if we can repair the sword then we can show the world the mighty power of the god of salt it does look like something left behind after being defeated in battle two pieces of a broken sword from an archaeological perspective these are two separate relics according to the contract you can only claim one oh boy why alternating claims to treasure true but clement is no longer here yes but the only one object per claim clause still holds true you cannot take two relics at the same time oh okay either the salt chalice or the sword this logic um she seems like a good person and no one is fighting over the treasure how about you let this one slide huh when there's a contract nothing can be allowed to slide if the contract is not followed then it is broken or you can find a loophole if i only take one half then it can't be repaired and the power of the god of salt cannot be restored no matter what i must be faithful to her even if it breaks the contract i don't care oh you're gonna face the rat oh oh gonna face the wrath of the rock so you are already decided hmm then there is a price to pay for breaking the contract that is to say you can sign yourself to suffer the wrath of the rock okay the god of salt gave up her life to protect her people my sacrifice is nothing compared to that punish me however you want just let me take this proof of my faith no you can't hit her perhaps that punishment would be easier for her but oh as punishment i will tell you the truth oh huh the truth you mean the truth is my punishment yes the truth that i am about to tell you shall be your price to pay for breaking the contract i'm afraid to say that the god of salt havria was not the powerful god you imagine her to be rather she was a small and weak god who yielded to all other gods when it came to war she lost never able to win a seat among the seven oh never mind oh what during the arkhan war the gods of this world used all their strength in cunning to vie for control of to that but havria instead chose to flee oh she thought that by giving up before a fight could start she could save herself and her people from the war however during such a long war there is no end to the advances of aggressors sure after making countless concessions avria lost all of her lands until only one small haven remained no no it can't be so in her last days she had not even a single blade to defend her people with oh not even a single blade then this sword this sword is not a relic belonging to the god of salt but is instead the murder weapon used to kill her oh no that's not true that can't be true you're trying to test my faith in the god of salt as i said before i only state the facts preposterous you are a follower of morax don't try to trick me hey come back was it really true indeed otherwise why would i use the truth as punishment i did not want to tell her such cruel facts but the contract was broken let's follow her deeper into the ruin there i fear we will find something that will leave her no choice but to face the truth are these statue thingies running what would we find ahead salt and betrayal what are all these what did they see what did they do what what happened that which lies beyond this door will show you all that happened back then oh boy this is the scene of the crime havria's body dissipated leaving nothing but these traces of salt her dying moments have since been frozen in time to this very day that's her body bro the story continues that some among her people realized at last that this gentle kind but weak god could never protect anyone in wartime instead of consigning her to the agony of defeat they thought perhaps it would be better to give her a quick release but what about these statue thingies no matter how weak the god the power that flows forth when they are slain is beyond the strength of mortal coils to bear those who could not flee were thus transformed oh those of her people who were untouched by this disaster left for leeway where they sought refuge with rex lapis their descendants feared havria's remnants and lived in terror that she had laid upon them an eternal curse so they risked their lives to come here to break the sword and offer up obeisances in hopes that her anger might be appeased but they need not have done so for how could a god who had never once resisted even till the end nurse hatred for her people in her heart i even if this is so i can't this must be a lie a false history all of it don't you dare try to shake my faith young lisa didn't show any mercy this time either this is the price she must pay yet i would not call it a bad thing or really judging by how she appeared i fear that she will struggle for a time but even if she may not escape that struggle immediately simply recognizing the truth is good enough for now you seem all too familiar with what happened with the god of salt indeed in ages past havria's story served as a warning to me as well faith in a god who has already passed will do you no good so it is for havria and so it is for morax also now would you like to accompany me in taking a trip to gulian stone forest sure huh what do you want to do youngly treading old ground telling old stories one cannot help but be reminded of old acquaintances i think this guy was the one that killed her yeah now i mentioned before that many gods of old have been sealed beneath the gulian stone forest the adept i have presently handed leo over to mortals and havre's time was even further in the past the salt chalice and salt ruler that she left behind should not return to leah to leave them here is to let them slumber and it is also a homecoming so what would you want us to do i ended an error with my own two hands i've always wondered how i should remember that which i ended history records but history may be changed this incident proved that time is a mighty force and history's twist in its flow i need to find a better way of recording history in order to engrave its truth stone carvings were one such ancient method but unchanging stone immovable earth even ones such as myself someday we may all disappear a harsh reminder but yes true therefore i thought of you traveler oh you are one who crosses the celestial atlas and who passes through countless worlds if our history is engraved in your memory it will one day accompany you into another world as long as a traveler like you is able to record what happened then a backup of sorts will exist for times and tides of to that so that's why you want us to come with you [Music] sounds like tough work now then it is time that we consigned both the salt chalice and salt ruler to the sea why don't we need to throw them into the sea as i said before this is the place to which the remnants of many bygone gods are consigned thousands of years ago the adept i and i fought against the turmoil that plagued every corner of this land stone forest where i sealed many gods with my spears after so long not but folk tales remain oh sile you and i were foes but our ancient grudge is but a bygone memory now may that which havria has left behind be yours to subsume and thus another spark of divinity departs from leo my legacy shall now be left to those who come after to debate i will remain here for a while i fear that moments of reminiscence like this can only grow fewer feel a bit bad for the god of salt me too we did not measure right and wrong during the days of the archon war in the same manner as we do today of course as i am now i only wish that she could have lived in a gentler time won't those relics cause osayo to grow in power though the salt chalice and salt ruler do have power in their own right they are nothing before osayo if a day comes when he should recover his strength in return i believe that even so he will be defeated once more so what will you do that is a good question in the past i might have given you a most specific answer but now yes i suppose i will continue in my role as a consultant at wangshang funeral parlor but if this journey was to your liking why don't you come along the next time i am seeking to preserve memories of leo's past sure that was a really nice mission i'm really liking these uh archon missions and finding more about the archon's past they're actually really interesting makes me wonder what else the uh what else we'll find about the other archons during the archon war
