Chapter 7: Childe
"Is that the Traveler? It seems to be extraordinary, and it is indeed someone who can change the situation in Teyvat. β
At the same time, in the sky, Zhongli looked at the crowd below, staring at Ying and Paimon, who were constantly dodging.
"You're just messing around? So what should I do? Won't it just fall on me next time? Why don't I die again? β
The tassel is uncomfortable, Zhongli is really good at it, but now Liyue has one more of her, if only it was straightforward before, but now that there is a god, the people of Liyue will definitely look for her.
Zhongli clenched his fists and coughed lightly: "In terms of general reason, this move is not impossible. β
"Forget it, it's good if you're happy, I haven't shown my face a few times anyway, no one knows who I am, I'll just pretend to be dead."
That being said, the people of Liyue below will not forget her.
"The emperor was killed, we still have the immortal monarch, Lord Ningguang, you can communicate with the immortal monarch and try." There was a burst of voices from the crowd.
She had heard the words in the crowd and had thought about them before, but Xianjun hadn't appeared a few times, let alone how to communicate, Ningguang said helplessly, "Xianjun has come and gone without a trace, and Liyue has rarely seen any deeds about her, so I can only try this." β
Ningguang can only communicate hard, but even if the tassel hears it, he pretends to be dead on the side, I can't see it, I can't hear it.
After waiting for a long time to no avail, Ningguang also gave up.
I can only ask someone to clean up, and the scene secretly sends the emperor's body to the golden house.
Originally, of course, all this would be noticed by the immortals, but Zhongli used his divine power to cover the eyes of the immortals, so that they could not feel it.
The tassel was directly buckled to the door of the head by the cauldron that fell from the sky with Zhongli's hand: "I feel uncomfortable with your hand, if you let the immortals know, won't the pot come to me?" β
Zhongli waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, you just don't come forward then." β
"What you said makes a lot of sense, I'll go to avoid the limelight first, and take my leave."
After saying that, the tassel slipped away as soon as he smoked and left.
"I hope that the people of Liyue can survive this crisis, and if not, we can only call her to take charge, and then carry out the Immortal Ceremony again."
Zhongli was happy with his thoughts, after all, maybe he could really retire this time.
Below, the Immortal Ritual has already made a pot of porridge, and the Millelith Army began to investigate one by one.
"They're here, grab them."
As she was about to leave, she stepped on a piece of glass and made a sound, and Millelith turned her head to spot them.
Knowing that she had been discovered, Ying turned around and ran, but when she reached the corner of the stairs, she found the Millelith coming up from below, and Ying was surrounded by this.
"Where to run."
The voice of the Millelith Army let Ying know that she would definitely not be able to run away, so she could only take out the bladeless sword and prepare for battle.
"Miss, be careful not to move."
Suddenly, several water arrows flew out from behind Ying, knocking out the weapons in the hands of the surrounding Millelith Army, and a yellow-haired man suddenly appeared, and his hands conjured up a water blade to knock the lost Millelith Army to the ground.
"Keep up, keep up." The voice of the Millelith Army was heard from behind.
"Follow me."
Ying hesitated for a moment and followed, because the person in front of her and the Millelith Army should not be in the same group.
"Whew.... I'm so tired of running. Walking to a safe place, Paimon said breathlessly.
Ying was skeptical: "Which muscle is used in magic flight?" β
"Lack of empathy! My phantom limb was obviously tired from runningβah! That's right! Paimon said angrily to Ying, I don't know if it was Paimon's delusion, how did she feel Ying's more and more disdainful, she turned to Childe and asked, "Who are you, little brother?" β
"You can call me Childe."
"Wow... You have such a bad personality that you saved us once and treated us as servants?" Paimon crosses his waist.
"Hehe, that's not what I meant, the name is just a codename. It's like... You must have seen the ladies in Mondstadt, right? Childe explained with a smile.
"Ma'am... Childe..."While Paimon was still thinking, Ying was already in a battle stance.
Paimon asked with hindsight, "Are you the Fatui executive?" β
"Ah, don't be nervous, I'm not here to fight you."
"Madame made a bad impression on you, didn't she? Alas, the woman... I don't like her either. β
"Alright, let's all forget what that woman did! I'm here to help you. β
In this regard, Ying expressed doubts and said with disdain: "Go, go." β
"Haha, don't do that, I'm here to help you. I'm not a bad person... Belch. Speaking of which, Childe paused and continued, "I'm probably the bad guy, but I'm not here to trouble you. β
"Can you please don't think about knocking this person down right away?" Childe's words relaxed Ying's prepared battle posture.
"Haha, thank you for your demeanor, knight."
"I've heard about your deeds in Mondstadt, so I've paid a little attention to you during the ceremony. Because of this, I know that you have not done anything suspicious, and that there must be someone else who assassinated the gods. β
"But... Alas. The Fatui are envoys of the Solstice... After such a big event, I guess I can't be trusted. β
"The Seven Stars who rule Liyue are always too suspicious of us..."
Ying listened to Childe's narration without saying a word.
Paimon interjected after Childe finished speaking, "I think it's the Fatui's fault." β
"Hahaha. Should I deny it? Childe smiled awkwardly, and then put away his expression, "Forget it, it's also a good thing to keep a distance between strangers, anyway, I'm used to this kind of guarded look." β
"We can't stop here, we need to know the old Liyue proverb (the wall has ears)"
As everyone knows, the conversation between Childe and Ying was carried out under Zhongli's nose, and he stared at the two people below.
Zhongli touched his chin and said, "Well, the bills in the future will be sent to the Northland Bank." β
Zhongli watched as the two walked to the Northland Bank.
Paimon walked to the door of the Northland Bank and said, "Northland Bank..."
Childe replied, "That's right, this is the bank that Solstice opened in Liyue, and while Liyue is the most important commercial center in Teyvat, our country is also very rich. β
Listening to Childe's words, Paimon replied in a strange way, "yes, a poor country can't afford to raise a diplomat who kicks his nose in the face of the Knights of Favonius." β
"Hehehe." Childe could only hide his embarrassment with laughter, and then took out a package from his pocket, "Here, give you this." β
"This isβ" Ying opened the package and found that it was a yellow piece of rune paper.
"To put it simply, this thing is a token. So that the Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortal will not harm your token. β
"You say... Immortals? Does this also work for Xianjun? β
"Well, I don't know if Liyue Immortal Monarch is considered an immortal, right? After all, I haven't seen it either. β
"Out of the city to the north, there is a stone forest, called the Absolute Cloud Room, where there is a legend of the existence of immortals."
Yinghu looked at Childe suspiciously: "It's just a legend?" β
"That's right, they believe in legends, so they only worship immortals on the periphery of the Peerless Cloud Realm, and they don't dare to go any further. But I don't need to believe it, because I know that the immortals in the Peerless Cloud Realm are real. β
Ying opened her mouth and complained: "Then why are you talking so much, just tell us directly?" I suspect you're in the water word count, but I don't have proof. β
Paimon asked, "What do you want us to do with the immortals?" β
Childe smiled and replied to Paimon's words, "Little one, what do you think the world is asking for immortals for?" It's nothing more than someone seeking wealth, someone seeking medical treatment, and someone seeking marriage... And you're here β to get justice. β
"Justice?"
"Yes, it's fair that Seven Stars has sent the Millelith Army to find the Assassin among the spectators. But can a mortal assassinate the Valkyrie who swept through a thousand armies? The Rock King had never abandoned his divine power. β
"This kind of rough response is not what they should be. Suspicious..."
Ying thought for a moment and said, "In order to cover up the real murderer? β
"Maybe, after all, there is another god in Liyue, or if it's to cover up something, I can't say."
"Now, it is impossible for the Northland Bank to delay the search of the Millelith Army indefinitely, but there are no taboos for the immortals."
