Morax turned his head back, pondered for a moment, then replied:
"From a general theoretical perspective, I indeed have no insight."
"What a coincidence then. Besides you, the God of contracts, who else in this world could form a contract with Lesser Lord Kusanali?"
Morax pondered again, then spoke: "That is truly astonishing."
Yuuko: "..."
Alright, it seems Morax is determined to continue playing dumb... However, this once again made Yuuko think deeply.
What kind of contract did Morax form with Lesser Lord Kusanali?
That would make Lesser Lord Kusanali urge him to attack Celestia.
Could it be that Morax also had some reasons for him to attack Celestia?
Now that he thought back carefully.
It seemed that the beginning of everything was indeed due to Morax.
If Morax hadn't given him the Gnosis and his clearance at that time.
And even guided the Tsaritsa towards Inazuma, then all those messy things wouldn't have happened later.
In other words, most of the events were secretly guided by Morax... At this moment, Morax also stood up and smiled:
"Since we've decided to depart tomorrow, how about we gather here again tomorrow?"
The others had no objection to this proposal.
Whether it was Raiden Ei, the Hydro Archon, or Lesser Lord Kusanali, all stated that they needed to go back and prepare.
"Then, Lord Phanes, I will return for now. For that battle, I need to make some preparations. I will come again tomorrow."
Just like that, the Hydro Archon and Lesser Lord Kusanali left.
Raiden Ei also said: "Since the battle is tomorrow, I should return to Tenshukaku to get things in order."
After speaking, Raiden Ei also departed.
Now, only Yuuko, Venti, and Morax remained here.
Yuuko also didn't plan to stay long; he wanted to go home and relax before tomorrow.
So he waved his hand and walked away slowly:
"Then, you two, see you tomorrow."
After Yuuko also left.
Venti, who had been too afraid to utter a word, finally let out a sigh of relief.
Then, with a relaxed expression, he prepared to slip away: "Then, old man, I'll also go back to Mondstadt to prepare~"
However, Venti had only taken two steps when Morax grabbed him:
"The battle is tomorrow; you cannot return to Mondstadt."
It seemed Morax knew that once this guy went back, he wouldn't come... Venti said pitifully:
"Old man, just let me go. Yellow Fox already has so much help; one less of me won't matter, and the Anemo Gnosis isn't even with me."
However, Morax shook his head:
"You cannot escape tomorrow's battle. You must personally witness everything. This is your duty as a mortal Archon."
Just like that, Morax forcibly dragged Venti towards Inazuma City... After throwing Venti into a certain tavern in Inazuma City.
Morax left Inazuma City.
And arrived at a hillside in the wilds of Inazuma.
He stood on the hillside, his hands clasped behind his back.
Looking up at the floating island in the sky.
At this moment, Morax's expression was very profound, as if he was recalling past events.
After a long time, he murmured in a low voice:
"Soon will be the time... stipulated by the original contract."
