Chapter 222: "Childe" (two in one)

Liyue Harbor, Yujingtai.

The Emperor of the Rock King was killed, and Lord Ningguang, the "Heavenly Power Star", ordered the Millelith Army to seal off the entire field and investigate everyone at the scene one by one, starting with those who looked more suspicious.

Soon the Millelith Army asked Li Qiuzhi about them.

"Who are you? Where did it come from? ”

Because they feel that Li Qiuzhi seems to be very powerful, in order to prevent suspicious people from sneaking away.

The Millelith Captain surrounded them with a squad of several Millelith troops, and asked in a serious tone.

"Ugh."

Faced with such a powerful formation, Paimon, who had always been able to speak well, was frightened and hid behind Ying's back to avoid saying the wrong thing.

Ying glanced at Li Qiuzhi and signaled to hand it over to you.

Li Qiuzhi rubbed her soft hand, tapped her head to indicate that there was no problem, and then calmly said to the Millelith Army in front of him:

"We are from Mondstadt, honorary knights of the Knights of Favonius.

"I'm currently on my way to the Seven Kingdoms, and I happened to hear that Liyue Harbor's annual 'Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony' is about to begin, so I wanted to stop by today to pay a look at the Rock King's demeanor.

"But who knew it was happening.

"Lord Rock King is highly powerful, presumably it is not for a few of us with low strength to assassinate, and there is no reason to do so."

He said a long paragraph, and the information that should be explained has been voluntarily explained, so he won't still doubt it.

"Knights of Honor in Mondstadt?" The Millelith Army Commander looked surprised.

Some time ago, such a big incident happened in neighboring Mondstadt, and of course he had heard about the deeds of the two Honorary Knights.

It seems that one of them is still from Liyue, and he doesn't know what he was doing when he went to a neighboring country.

Of course, they can't take care of these little things.

And looking at it this way, they seem to be indeed compatible, I didn't expect several honorary knights to be so young.

"Yes, I think it would be easy for everyone in the Millelith Army to investigate our identity."

Li Qiuzhi said equally seriously.

The implication is that they don't joke with identities that are so easy to debunk.

"Well, you guys wait here first, I'll go and inform Lord Ningguang, she should know if your identity is true."

The commander of the Millelith army nodded, and then ordered the soldiers with spears next to him to continue to watch, and went to inform Lord Ningguang himself.

As a "Heavenly Power Star", Lord Ningguang is very sensitive to anything that happens under the sky.

The specific appearance of the two honorary knights who assisted the Knights of Favonius in repelling the Storm Demon Dragon must have been heard from the mouths of the intelligence staff, and even seen the photos.

So just in case, it's better to ask Ningguang-sama to come and see it in person.

It didn't take long.

The commander of the Millelith army came back soon, but he didn't come with the "Heavenly Power Star" Ningguang, he first nodded to the soldiers next to him to indicate that it was right.

Then he said to Li Qiuzhi to them:

"Lord Ningguang is investigating the cause of the emperor's death, and he can't come over for the time being.

"But she said she noticed you at the beginning of the ceremony, and there really is no problem with your identity."

"Whew, that's great, then we can leave."

Paimon, who was hiding behind, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was okay and quickly said.

"No, not yet." The Millelith Army Captain shook his head, "Although you don't have any suspicions, Yujingtai is still under blockade, and no one can leave until the investigation is over."

"You can rest on the side first."

With that, the commander of the Millelith army and the rest of the soldiers continued to interrogate the next suspicious person.

"Why, we've all proven ourselves not murderers."

Paimon hung his shoulders in disappointment.

"After all, it's understandable that something so big has happened, and it's good not to be suspected of being a murderer anyway."

Li Qiuzhi also breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked sideways at Ying and continued:

"Well, let's just say you don't have to run away."

Ying didn't reply, she withdrew her left hand, hugged her arms around her chest, and a slightly helpless expression appeared on her fair face.

Look at the smug of you.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Yujingtai, with the efforts of the Millelith Army, quickly interrogated the identities of everyone present.

It's a pity that the alleged murderer was not found.

There is no choice but to lift the blockade of the scene and let everyone go back, and at the same time, "Tianquan Star" Ningguang also said that he will definitely investigate the truth about the murder of the Emperor of the Rock King as soon as possible.

Many of the Liyue locals and foreigners at the scene left with all kinds of speculation.

One can imagine what kind of sensation it will cause to the entire Teyvat continent when the news of the death of the Rock King Emperor spreads.

Li Qiuzhi, Ying, and Paimon also left with everyone.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Ningguang about the "bicycle", but after thinking about it a little, it would be too rude for the emperor to go to someone to talk about business just after he was killed.

Besides, Lao Zhang hasn't done a good sample yet, so if you want to get attention, you still have to take the ready-made product.

"Yo, hello guys."

Just as Li Qiuzhi and the others left Yujingtai along the stone road, and when they turned a corner, a young male voice stopped several people.

Several people looked along the source of the sound.

A handsome man with orange hair and gray clothes and pants was spotted leaning against the fence and calling them out.

"What's the matter, do you have anything wrong with this foreign brother?"

Paimon touched the crown of his head and looked at him suspiciously.

"Haha, you are also a foreigner in this country, how can a foreigner call other foreigners foreigners on other people's land."

The handsome man with orange hair and gray clothes couldn't help but laugh twice.

The Fatui executive "Childe" Tartaglia, I didn't expect him to appear, and sure enough, he had already paid attention to them.

Li Qiuzhi secretly said trouble.

"Hey, it doesn't matter, just say anything quickly, don't say we're leaving!"

Paimon looked at him smiling and said angrily with the "Void Stomping" stunt.

"Well, I'm very sorry, but you can call me 'Childe', just like 'Ma'am', and I'm also the Fatui Executive."

"Childe," Tartaglia said with a smile.

"What?!"

The words of such an honest "childe" startled Ying and Paimon, and then stared at him vigilantly.

If she hadn't known that this was Liyue Harbor, where it was forbidden to fight and hurt people, she would have taken out the Bladeless Sword a long time ago!

"Well, don't be so nervous, I'm not here to trouble you, although I'd like to compete with you."

Tartaglia spread his hands to indicate that he was not hostile.

"Even so, we don't have anything to say to you Fatui."

Li Qiuzhi's eyes gradually turned golden.

[Level: Seventy-Five]

is worthy of being an executive officer of the Fatui, although he is the last seat, he also has more than seventy levels of strength.

Li Qiuzhi estimated that his current strength was barely able to defeat an abyss mage of around level sixty.

But in the face of the existence of seventy levels and above, it is still impossible to beat.

After all, after the level is high, each level is different from cloud and mud, but if you have Ying together, you will not be crushed, unless he is armed with that "demon king".

So Li Qiuzhi was a little more confident in talking to him.

"Gee, my instincts tell you that the eye seems to have seen me through."

Tartaglia smiled and kindly reminded him:

"But what you see with this eye is only what level of strength my body is, but if you underestimate my combat power because of this, you will suffer!"

Li Qiuzhi didn't answer, of course he knew this.

After all, he himself is only level forty-eight, but with his skills and expertise, he can indeed challenge stronger existences.

And "Childe" has the talent of "proficient in martial arts", and he must be very good at martial arts, and it is probably not a problem to fight beyond the level.

Tartaglia saw that the vigilance of several people was undiminished, and he said without saying anything:

"Do you really think that the Emperor of the Rock King was assassinated and died, he is a martial god, who can simply assassinate him, unless"

He didn't finish his sentence, and his expression was meaningful.

It seems to be letting Li Qiuzhi and them use their imagination on their own.

"You mean the 'Seven Stars of Liyue'!" Her glowing amber pupils contracted suddenly, as if she had thought of something terrible.

The corners of Tartaglia's mouth are slightly curved:

"Of course, this is just speculation."

"But even if that's the case, it has nothing to do with us, where is it our turn to interfere in other people's own internal affairs, or do you have any plans?"

Li Qiuzhi chuckled lightly and said bluntly.

"Haha, it looks like I've been misunderstood by you.

"I've only heard a little about your deeds in Mondstadt, and I've been paying attention to you for a long time.

"I can see that you have come here for a purpose.

"If I'm not mistaken, I guess there is something I want to see Emperor Iwa."

Tartaglia picked up his arm in his gray sleeve and said in a more confident tone.

Hearing his words, Ying frowned and said:

"So what?"

"I just happened to meet and wanted to give you a suggestion." Tartaglia spread out his hand to show that he had nothing else to do, paused and continued, "The Rock King Emperor has an accident, so naturally you can't ask him anything more.

"But it's probably similar to go to the 'Three-Eyed and Five-Visible Immortals' who have known him for a long time.

"If you are willing to tell them the news of the assassination of the Emperor of the Rocks, I will not be stingy in answering your questions."

Having said all this, the original purpose was to use them to cause conflicts between the immortals and the seven stars, and then take the opportunity to find the relics of the Rock King Emperor and steal the heart of the gods.

Li Qiuzhi, who understands the plot of the game, easily saw through the idea of "Childe".

It was something he would never have thought of.

Ying hesitated.

The sudden murder of Emperor Iwawang really ruined her questioning about who was the god who captured her brother.

Of course, she didn't want to miss the opportunity if she still had the chance.

And they originally had a plan to find the immortals, but it was not so easy to find the immortal traces, just to see if they could find the immortal disciple, that is, Chongyun's aunt.

"If you're worried about not finding an immortal, I can lend you something."

Tartaglia seemed a little moved when she saw Ying, and said with a smile.

"Huh? One thing? Is it some kind of token? Paimon looked curious.

"Almost."

Tartaglia nodded.

"So if we want to borrow your token, what reward do we need to give?" Li Qiuzhi asked with a smile.

If he didn't guess wrong, he should have said "no taboos".

This is indeed a good thing, and with it, you can basically guarantee that you will be able to meet the immortal, and it is nothing to run errands for him.

Anyway, even if they don't do it, "Childe" will still find someone else to do it.

"Childe" thinks that he is planning everything.

In fact, the old man of the emperor is secretly watching, and he also needs the "son" to help him bring the contradiction between immortals and people to the surface.

Then take this opportunity to let the immortals, who can only use force, interfere less with Liyue.

This is the trend of development for Liyue to usher in the era of human rule, and it is also the reason why Emperor Iwan retired by faking his death.

"Haha, you don't need any compensation, just give it back to me when you run out."

Tartaglia smiled, then took out a talisman with black letters on a yellow background from the Eye of God and handed it to Li Qiuzhi.

"It's called 'Hundred No Taboo Urn', and those who hold it can sense it when they go to the Immortal Cave Mansion, and they will come out to see you if nothing happens."

After the "childe" Tartaglia handed over the things to them, he said that he still had something to do, and told a few people that he could find him at the Northland Bank and left first.

He could feel that these people were already suspicious of him.

But what he said is also the truth, all he gives is benefits, and they won't go if they think about it.

"What should I do, do you want to listen to him tell the immortals the news of the emperor's murder, I always feel that this Fatui executive is thinking of something bad!"

Paimon asked, looking at Li Qiuzhi, who was holding the talisman.

As for Ying, she must be inclined to go, after all, the Emperor of the Rock King has been killed, and only by asking the immortals can she know who the god who captured her brother in the first place is.

"Anyway, I'm going to find the immortals, and since he's so kind enough to lend us something, there's no reason not to, right?"

Li Qiuzhi thought about it and said with a smile.

At that time, the time to make an appointment with Xingqiu Chongyun to find the immortals was three days after the "Invitation to the Immortal Ceremony", and now I am not in a hurry to pass.

In the following time, during the day, Li Qiuzhi and Ying still received some commissions from the Adventurers' Association to complete.

By the way, familiarize yourself with the Liyue region.

In the evening, they rushed back to Liyue Harbor and returned to their home in Mondstadt through the Teleportation Anchor Point to rest.

During this period, he finally met Fischl and Oz, who came to see if he had returned.

Fischl was naturally happy to find that Li Qiuzhi had returned, after all, he hadn't seen each other for many days.

At dinner, Li Qiuzhi told her about what she had seen in Liyue Harbor.

When I sleep, I naturally slept together, poured out my love to each other, and relieved my lovesickness.

In the past two days, Li Qiuzhi has not only obtained more than 100,000 morals from commissioning, but also has more than 3,000 experience points.

Today is the day when Lao Zhang said that he would be able to make a sample of the "bicycle".

Of course, Li Qiuzhi and the others couldn't wait to inspect the goods, after all, this was about him and Ying's money-making plans.

Well. There's also Paimon's "big meal" freedom.

Ask for a follow-up, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation, thank you for your support!

Thanks to "Duanmu Ci 10086" for the 207 coins reward!
