Chapter 212 Scylla's Compromise
In the deep blue ocean, the calls of whales continue to echo, sounding like resentment, longing, crying and complaining, as if telling the history of the rise and fall of a race.
The source of the sound came from Scylla, who was suppressed by Zhu Yuncheng at the bottom of the sea.
As a figure penetrated the silent ocean and came in front of Scylla, the powerful monster stopped roaring and emitted spiritual fluctuations.
"Egolia, you have become a demon."
The person who came was Egolia, who was entrusted by Zhu Yuncheng.
Egolia looked at her suppressed friend and said gently, "Scylla, I'm here to see you."
"Did it be that human who sent you here, or was it the will of heaven who canonized you as a demon god who sent you here?" A mocking smile flashed in Scylla's huge eyes.
"Neither." Egolia shook her head gently, "I decided to come and see you on my own."
"In that case, I'm not in the mood to talk to you. Please leave. Go back and tell that human that I will never surrender to him just because I'm imprisoned." Scylla closed his eyes tiredly and continued to make sad whale calls.
Egolia continued: "What if, what if Yongle said he doesn't want you to be slaves, but comrades?"
"Woo~" Scylla did not respond and continued to chirp.
"You have to know that when Tianli invaded Teyvat and took away the power of the ancient dragons, some dragon kings expressed their submission to Tianli, and the Water Dragon King was one of them."
"Enough!" Scylla suddenly stopped chirping and roared, "Shut up! The Water Dragon King is already fighting with Heaven's Law, and he has not submitted to Heaven's Law!"
"Why do you have to deceive yourself?" Egolia advised, "You are a dragon lizard from the same era as the Water Dragon King. No one knows better than you that the Water Dragon King submitted to the laws of nature, handed over his ancient dragon power, and chose to transform into a human life."
"Enough, stop talking, stop talking!" Scylla shouted, but his momentum was much weaker.
"The Dragon King is willing to surrender, so why do you continue to hold on to your hatred? Listen to me. Yongle told me that as long as you are willing to surrender to him, he will mark out an area as a habitat for your dragon lizard clan, and no one will disturb your reproduction.
But every year, a human warrior would enter and choose a dragon lizard partner of their choice to fight. If they failed, they would be dealt with as they wished. If they succeeded, the dragon lizard would have to leave with the human warrior and become that warrior's lifelong partner."
Scylla's eyes moved slightly: "Impossible, my dragon clan was once the overlord of Teyvat, how could we agree to this."
"A few days ago, Yongle told you that the past was the past, and the present is the present. Today is different from the past. And if the dragon lizard is stronger than humans, why should you be afraid of this condition?"
Listening to Egolia's words, Scylla was obviously moved. In his heart, he had always looked down on human creatures with short lifespans and arrogant hearts, but the appearance of Zhu Yuncheng was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.
Humans can be so powerful, and they can treat the dragon lizards as fish on the chopping board. The moment Zhu Yuncheng suppressed it with a flip of his hand, the pride in its heart as a dragon lizard, the most powerful elemental life in Teyvat, collapsed, and all that was left was a dead heart.
Now, hearing Zhu Yuncheng's promise, a little pride surged in his heart again.
It didn't believe that all humans were as powerful as Zhu Yuncheng. Since Zhu Yuncheng made such a decision, it would let him know how powerful their dragon lizard clan was.
"If that's the case, I can agree to it, but that human needs to promise me one thing too!" Scylla said, "If no human can defeat the dragon lizard within a period of time, then the territory of our dragon lizard clan will expand."
"This." Egolia was embarrassed.
"This condition, I can agree to it."
Suddenly, Zhu Yuncheng's voice sounded. He and Ganyu came to Egolia and continued to say to Scylla, "Within a hundred years, if no human defeats your dragon lizard tribe, your territory can be expanded by one fifth."
"Okay." Scylla emitted the same mental fluctuations. Seeing this, Zhu Yuncheng removed the seal, allowing Scylla to regain his freedom.
"Go tell your fellow water dragon lizards that the territory allocated to you will be allocated in three months at the earliest and a year at the latest." After Zhu Yuncheng finished speaking, he turned around and left with Gan Yu.
When Egolia heard Scylla compromise, a smile appeared on her face: "Scylla, congratulations."
"What are you congratulating? It's just the beginning. I don't believe that, apart from the one just now, there are other humans stronger than the dragon lizards!" Scylla snorted, and then made a whale call, calling out to his fellow dragon lizards in the ocean.
At this point, the trip to Fontaine has come to an end. Egolia was released and surrendered to him, and he also obtained the water dragon lizard as an unexpected surprise. In the future, Guili will be even more powerful.
Finally, Egolia and Remus came to Guili and accepted Zhu Yuncheng's enthronement in the Human King's Palace.
Remus was made Duke and Lord of Fontaine, but he still paid tribute once a year and reported on his work every three years.
Eugolia was a marquis, second only to Remus, in charge of the people's livelihood in Fontaineland and reporting on her work every three years.
As night falls, the lights are on.
The night market in Guili City also opened at this moment.
"Look, look, the buns are thin in skin and thick in meat!"
"Grilled fish, spicy grilled fish that's fragrant and numbing!"
"Sugar man, selling sugar man!"
The vendors on both sides of the street were shouting loudly, and the people who came to the night market to find food were overwhelmed by the choices. After finally finding a shop they liked, they sat down and ordered a few dishes. When they paid the bill, it was more than fifty or a hundred yuan. Mora was heartbroken and helpless.
Among the crowd, there was a man and two women walking together. After passing a grilled fish restaurant, one of the older women went in.
"Master still likes grilled fish so much."
"Why, do you want to tell me what I like?"
"No, no, it's just that the last few times my master and I came out, we always came to the grilled fish restaurant."
"If you don't want to eat, go to another store and let Xiaoyu eat with me so as not to disturb your enjoyment!"
These three people are Zhu Yuncheng, Gan Yu and Liu Yun.
Since the enthronement of Remus and Egolia, his life has returned to normal. He gets up every day to read the reports sent by Huahua and Qixing, eats lunch, and in the afternoon he either goes to see the Emperor to drink tea, chat, and watch opera, or goes to see how Lei Dianying's cooking skills are going, or he goes to practice with the Five Yakshas. In the evening, he takes Ganyu and Liuyun to the night market, and goes home to drink coconut milk.
Life is so simple.
It’s not that Zhu Yuncheng really wants to do this, but there is nothing to do right now.
Now, the three countries of Xumi, Inazuma and Fontaine have surrendered and left. Mondstadt has not been born yet, and the members of Shenbujue who are heading to Nata and Zhidong are probably still on the way.
Soon, the grilled fish ordered by Liu Yun was served, and Zhu Yuncheng looked around and bought some snacks from a nearby store.
Just as the three were about to start eating, a voice suddenly came from the second-floor window of the restaurant next door.
"Take a breath of this charming fragrance, and you'll be better than a living god!"
"What the hell?" I looked up and saw a little white smoke floating out from the windowsill.
In an instant, Zhu Yuncheng's face turned ashen.
