Chapter 65, Meal Money
"I heard that Miss Barbara is going to hold a concert to appease everyone."
"I've heard about it, too, and I've heard that it's from Mr. Albert."
"Alas~ Mr. Albert's news about Miss Barbara is always half-true, so I don't know whether to believe it or not."
If you don't look at the location, just by looking at the conversation, you might think that this is not a secret organization's stronghold, but a support club for Mondstadt's idol Miss Barbara.
"What are you talking about?" Borg Goethe asked, pushing the door open.
"Oh, Boss, we're talking about the concert of Miss Barbara Page, the Reverend of the Prayer Ceremony."
"Oh~ The concert thing, this thing is true." Borg Goethe said.
"I have exactly twelve front-row tickets here, and if any of you can complete your investigation of the recent intelligence of the Fatui, I'll give them as a reward."
"If anyone can find out [Madam]'s whereabouts, I'll give him my own tickets."
โยทยทยท The ticket is mine!
๏ผ โ
The poor agents didn't know that Madam was no longer in Mondstadt, and that the branch agents, including Borg Goethe, thought that Madam was still hiding in the dark in Mondstadt.
In fact, the current [lady] has already taken a carriage to Liyue, and she has a small night's rest at the Wangshu Inn in Dihua Prefecture tonight.
I wonder how long it will be before the poor agents of Mondstadt will find out about this.
After all, according to common sense, information is exchanged between branches only once a year.
And now, just over four months after the last exchange of information.
At the same time, Liyue Harbor.
"I have to say that the Fatui executive is really idle." The two stars looked enviously at the eleventh seat of the Fatui who were collecting debts, he had been secretly spying on this guy for several days, and this man codenamed [Childe Tartaglia] was a martial idiot.
Unfortunately, the current powerhouses in Liyue are all in trouble, and few of them are in Liyue Harbor.
So he can only bully places like martial arts halls.
However, the strength of the martial arts hall in Liyue Harbor is actually quite average, unlike the shogunate-supported dojo on Inazuma's side, although there are many martial artists here, there are not many strong people.
In Liyue, the strong still have to look at the Millelith Army.
And most of the good ones in the development of the martial arts hall are those who sell their fame and reputation, but the sects with real skills are very declining, such as the Guhua school and the like.
So after challenging the irrelevant to discover the truth, Tartaglia had nothing to do and helped his younger brothers to do debt collection.
The debt collector is an agent among the Fatui, and their chief officer is the Fatui executive [Rich] Pantarone, whose daily work is to collect debts for the Bank of the Northland, but there are usually many debt collectors who join the other executives to work for them.
Their official name is [Fatui - Fire Debt Handler] and they use the fire elemental system evil eye, and will carry out some intelligence gathering, material acquisition, and assassination of important people.
Their fire stealth skills are also very good, and ordinary people can't find their stealth at all.
"Hmm~ The breath of divine power, that one is the King of Rocks..."
"You're from Inazuma? Seems to recognize me? โ
"Exactly, in the Battle of the Lower Rock Shadow Thunder Light, the deputy servants of the Lord Spotted Horn and the Two Stars are also, and they have seen the Rock King Emperor." Spotted Horn Two Star said very respectfully.
The person who came touched his chin and said, "I am currently on vacation, and during the vacation, Zhongli is my name, and I am currently added as a guest of the Dead Hall." โ
"Is that so? Madara has met Mr. Zhongli. Spotted Horn said cautiously.
"What did Blade Lian send you for?" Zhongli asked.
Spotted Horn Erxing thought of the instructions of the Blade Company Lord before he came, and sure enough, everything was as he expected.
So he told the cause and effect.
"I see, a grudge with the Fatui [lady]."
"But to know about the contract I signed with the Winter Empress, it seems that you also have your own sources of information among the upper echelons of the Fatui."
"After all, the new executive doesn't look like he knows anything." Zhongli said.
"It's inconvenient to tell me about this."
Zhongli didn't want to ask about it, so the matter passed like this, and the two went shopping together again, and under Zhongli's spell, people couldn't find anything at all.
It's just that it's a little embarrassing when he opens the money after eating, and Zhongli doesn't bring any money.
Just as Zhongli was about to keep the accounts in the Afterlife Hall, Spotted Horn Erxing had already paid the money.
"I'm sorry, but I'm still a little unfamiliar with who I am." Zhongli said embarrassedly.
"Why did Mr. Zhongli sign such a contract with the Empress of Solstice?" Spotted Horn was really curious as to why Zhongli would sign such a seemingly loss-making deal.
This is also not in line with the essence of the god of the Rock King's contract.
"Not being able to say what the contract is about is part of the contract." Zhongli said.
Looking at Zhongli's expression, a hint of understanding flashed in the eyes of the two stars, and sure enough, it was similar to what he thought, this matter alone was definitely not a loss for the Emperor of the Rock and Liyue, but he didn't know where the specific point was.
However, he knew that this kind of thing would not be said by the Emperor of the Rocks, and this matter was like the secret of the secret at the bottom of the box in the hermitage.
The people of the hermit have a quota for soul crossing every ten years, on the one hand, to preserve Inazuma's high-level combat power in other worlds, and on the other hand, to solve the problems of trustworthy subordinates for the upper echelons of Inazuma in other worlds.
After all, there is no one more loyal to Narukami-sama than the people of the hermitage.
Their beliefs have been tested over time, and the most they have participated in that project have been devout-level beliefs, and even the number of fanatical and saint-level beliefs is not a few.
Of course, in Teyvat, the outward manifestation is the ideology, and the ideology of the hermitage is basically locked into elegance and celestial light, and there are very few ukiyo-e currents.
In fact, whether it is Fengya, Tianguang or Ukiyo, the common feature of these three currents of thought is the belief in Narujin.
Among them, the Tianguang ideology is at least devout believers, and there are not a few fanatical believers, Fengya is worse than Tianguang, but it is not much worse, and the floating world is worse than Fengya, most of them are true believers and shallow believers.
Don't look at the fact that there are still believers in Orobus on Kaiji Island, but in fact, their beliefs are shallow at most, and they also believe in Narukami when they believe in the great god of the sea, and believe in the eternal concept of Narukami.
This is all the credit of Blade Lian Lingyi's men.
