172 - Established performance

There was a slight silence.

This kind of speech has a bit of a shallow flavor, and in the capacity of Rama and Diluc, two foreigners, they should not actually say anything.

But Rama has his own ideas, and he was originally meant to stir up trouble.

Now that Brother Kong's position has changed and he has become a Fatui, although the trend of things is not beyond expectations, the balance is still tilted.

Sora's change of stance was not an surprise in the eyes of Zhongli and Rama.

To be reasonable, the empty brother of this period has only been awakened for a few months, and after a spin in Mondstadt, he doesn't have much superfluous kindness towards Teyvat.

If you had to put Teyvat and Yingmei in front of Brother Kong to weigh them, of course Brother Kong would only be able to grab one side of Yingmei and kick the Teyvat people on the other side away with one kick - what is it? Do you deserve to be compared to my sister?

His various performances in the plot can only show that the traveler is indeed in the good and orderly camp, because the Kongying siblings respect and are willing to abide by the rules of other countries.

Unfortunately, they don't seem to see this as a kind of friendliness, and since Mondstadt, Brother Kong has been wanted by the authorities in three countries in a row.

With the exception of Liyue, which was only used as a regular tactic and then immediately revoked, the wanted warrants for Inazuma and Sumeru were both for murder.

Of course, being friendly and orderly is not the same as having no bottom line.

Yingmei is the bottom line of Brother Kong, and this period is able to give him information related to Ying, who is his good friend.

The Fatui must have a part of it, at least the Harlequin must have known.

Tartaglia is not qualified to obtain this information, but if you have to find a suitable partner to gather information, Tartaglia is better than the Seven Stars and the Knights of Favonius.

Their influence only passed through their own country, and only the Fatui extended to the Seven Kingdoms because of the plan.

[But Brother Kong is really not a problem. 】

[I can tell Brother Kong the information about Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Order, so that he will be my ally again.] 】

Rama wasn't very worried, but rather he had some pity for Tartaglia.

Soon, he was about to be stabbed in the back by his partner again.

This is a backstab in the back of justice······ Despite the justification for backstabbing, the incident itself is a bit comical.

Rama is a troublemaker, and he can do anything about anyone's trouble, the purpose is to make the situation more difficult.

Anyway, Zhongli is so confident that he pulls everyone in to do things, he is so confident, of course Rama has to play well.

And Diluc was bluntly dissatisfied.

Of course, he has that qualification.

After all, the only thing he wanted in this event was to thwart all the plans of the Fatui.

Diluc does need the support of the Seven Stars, but what he does has little to do with Mondstadt's interests and instead fights for Liyue.

A person who does not need a salary, does the work for you for free and does a good job, he is of course qualified to express dissatisfaction.

If he is not happy, he can let him go, and Diluc will go back to Mondstadt and follow his plan.

He really wanted to block the Fatui, but it wasn't that he wouldn't survive without blocking them.

Because there is no too profound interest demand, Yelan has nothing to say.

There is a way out at any time, you can do what you don't want to do, this is the most basic, most likely and only definition of freedom.

And being able to do whatever you want at any time should not be considered freedom.

Everyone looked at each other, then fell silent at the same time.

It seems like something should be done, and it seems like nothing can be done.

At this time, Liyue needed stability, and the Seven Stars had chosen their own subordinates and were ready to welcome and deal with the arrival of the Immortals.

The Fatui?

Nothing.

Everyone has their own things to do, do what is most in their interests first, and the rest can be discussed later.

That's what Liyue needs.

Unless now that the [Immortal Ancestor Fa Transformation] has been lost, so that they have no way to explain to the immortals at all, there is no reason for the Seven Stars to invest too much energy in confronting the Fatui.

It was only necessary to hold on to it, and then wait for a complete ritual process, which was the only use of the Immortal Ancestor Fa Transformation.

Fishing?

It can't be what it does.

"I have one more piece of information, maybe I can do something."

Yelan was the first to divert the topic.

She doesn't have to worry about it, and she doesn't have much status and status to care about it.

"Oh, tell me about it." Rama smiled and motioned for Yelan to come forward and perform, "It's good if there is anything else to do at this time besides waiting." ”

Waiting for the rabbit is the need of the owner's family.

Rama and Diluc are stacked together, and they can't resist other people's thighs, so they can only be obedient.

"In some information about [Childe], we found a stronghold that he set up in the wild."

Yelan leaned against the stone pillar with a lazy expression, "Although the Fatui have quite a few camps in the wild, it should be a little secret that is worthy of the executive officer coming forward in person. ”

It doesn't matter how Tartaglia got caught in this kind of thing.

The Fatui have the Fatui's secrecy methods, and the Seven Stars have the investigation methods of the Seven Stars, so it is not too surprising who wins or loses.

Rama thought of the answer.

Calculating the time, this period is indeed about the same.

Tartaglia's ultimate solution is to release Othello from the seal, and then let the mad demon god go to Liyue to stir up the storm while he watches for an opportunity.

Even though Morax is "dead", that doesn't mean his plan is no longer valid.

Without Morax's Liyue, this trick would only be more effective because of it.

Liyue's seal contains Liyue's solution, and during a chance debt collection event, Tartaglia obtains a Hundred Forbidden Urn and begins researching and replicating it.

There is such a thing as rune paper, if you really want to talk about copying, Rama is very difficult to understand.

After all, metaphysical talismans should not be effective by depicting the same symbols, but the Fatui did it, and did it well.

Later in the Liyue plot, Tartaglia wafs his hand and there are dozens of Hundred No Taboo Urns, and the Immortal who meets with Brother Kong claims to have not seen the [Hundred No Taboo Urns] for many years, and it turns out that there are still remnants in the hands of mortals.

The point is that the one he saw was only an imitation of the Fatui, but the immortals didn't see it.

[Tartaglia should indeed throw something out to attract the attention of the Seven Stars.] 】

With the arrival of the immortals in Liyue as the demarcation point, Liyue will be divided into two time periods, and the chances will naturally be different at different times.

The best opportunity Tartaglia had been waiting for was to solve the problem before the immortals arrived.

Otherwise, when the immortals appear, and the seven stars solve the immortals, the interests within the seven stars and eight gates should be almost divided during this period.

After the internal contradictions are resolved, it is natural to aim at the external enemy.

The more time drags on, the lower the probability of Tartaglia succeeding.

"Since it deserves the attention of the executive in person, the research must also be important." Diluc suggested, "Why don't we take a trip?" ”

Yelan was able to bring up this matter, and she must have already passed the stage of scaring the snake, and then it was time to really take action.

Diluc was well aware that she could simply leave it out if she didn't need to act.

Anyway, he and Rama didn't have any very useful sources of information in Liyue, a foreign country, and they wouldn't know about it without mentioning the two of them.

Enemies... Allies won't let you know a thing you don't know, intelligence is valuable, and anything of value is given away for free, then of course it wants to get a higher value from you.

When you know something, you're suggesting that you're going to do something.

He looked at Rama, who naturally happily agreed: "It's good to leave this matter to us, your identity should not be involved in it for the time being, you might as well watch from the sidelines for the time being." ”

[You guys? 】

Yelan's eyebrows were slightly raised.

Is it the guest of the Afterlife Hall? What exactly is there about him that deserves Rama's involvement in this trouble?

After Rama entered Liyue Harbor, his every move was naturally monitored by a special person.

This is also the treatment when the piano comes.

To visit as a great sage is to enter the official field of view and be monitored, and in Rama's personal capacity, if you don't visit the Seven Stars, you will also have to be monitored in secret.

The identity is like this, you can't hide it.

Of course, Yelan knew very well who Rama had been in direct contact with during this time, including Xingqiu's family, and was also invited to tea, and asked him a little about what he and Rama had talked about.

Speaking of information alone, Rama's desire was very obvious.

What he wants to do is what many people in history who do not admit defeat have done - to challenge the life level planned by the world with the life of a mortal.

And his failure is not worth mentioning among all the failures in history.

After getting the information from Xingqiu, the temporary judgment is of course that you don't have to worry about it.

If Rama's purpose was really just that, then it couldn't be better, the Seven Stars really didn't want to care about this kind of thing.

It's not about buying and selling, it's about cooperating and trading, which is a legitimate thing in Liyue, the land of contracts, and not even Seven Stars has the right to stop it······ At least in the past, there was no right to stop it.

But now Rama's attitude has changed.

He intervened in a trouble that he didn't intend to get into, naturally because he got chips that he didn't get before.

But a guest secretary of the Hall of the Dead, why did he come up with a bargaining chip to hire the great sage of Sumeru?

It's a place to be curious.

Moreover, Zhongli's relationship with the Fatui is inevitably too close, according to the level of Tartaglia's payment, it is a person who will be raised by him to be a dead soldier if he doesn't do it well.

The truth of the conventional point, the king treats me as a countryman, and I will repay the countryman.

It is normal to receive such kindness and be biased in one's stance.

Yelan's complexion returned to calm.

The investigation into Zhongli has actually come to fruition, and he is not a Fatui.

But looking at the current situation, it is not too much to re-investigate him, after all, he is indeed a little too mysterious.

Such mysteries are not a good thing for Liyue at the moment, and mysteries that cannot be controlled are usually troubles.

After the matter was finalized, everyone naturally went their separate ways.

Yelan has what Yelan wants to do, and Diluc and Rama also embark on a path to find trouble with the Fatui.

"She seems to have another piece of information."

Diluc said suddenly.

Of course, the Fatui research will not be placed under the noses of the Liyue people, and to be reasonable, the position is quite far away.

On such a long journey, Diluc certainly had some words to discuss with Rama.

"It should have something to do with the person who touched me." Rama said, "After all, my identity is here, and in the understanding of normal people, the person who can buy me should be very special. ”

"And for Liyue, the right moment is not a good thing."

Brother Kong is also running fast.

At first, the wanted warrant was really valid, and these Millelith even chased them to the deep mountains and old forests where the immortals lived, just to kick Brother Kong out.

It wasn't until the Immortals appeared and helped Sora defeat the Millelith that it was the key to turning the wanted warrant into an ornament.

After all, the immortals have clearly expressed their attitude, and Brother Kong has obviously become a part of the immortal camp, and you still want him at this stage, which is very rude.

In this respect, Brother Kong really owes Tartaglia a favor, and even though this is also a use, without Tartaglia, he can try to run out of Liyue now.

Not necessarily killing, the title of Honorary Knight is still useful.

But at least it's a restriction, such as arresting and putting it in prison, and then pushing four, five, six, and dragging it until the dust settles and then apologizing to report it, catch the wrong person, we'll pay you a little Mora, and that's the end of this matter······ Or you can also try to hire someone like Yanfei, and then negotiate with the Millelith Army to settle the responsibility?

It's funny.

At this stage of Liyue, no one is allowed to jump too much.

On the other hand, as long as you are safe enough, they don't have the heart to fight you.

Diluc was silent for a moment, not asking too much.

Who this person is and what he wants to do, someone has already been investigated, and there is no need for him to pay attention.

"What does the study of the Fatui have to do with you?" He asked the second question.

Rama didn't even have any change in his expression because he was convinced that he hadn't done anything this time.

"It has nothing to do with me, I've just arrived in Liyue." Rama's tone was a little helpless, "I admit that the Fatui are my good partners, but I have an eternal partner, and compared to it, the Fatui can only be ranked behind. ”

Cooperation, what you want and what he wants, for both parties, who gives more is a good partner.

"Are you sure the Fatui will fail?"

Diluc had some surprises.

The victorious side is Rama's eternal partner, which is determined by his status.

He bets that if it goes to the loser's side, the winner will be held back to Sumeru.

But it doesn't make sense, isn't this new to Liyue? How could he say that the Fatui would lose?

"You're not optimistic about Seven Stars?" Rama inquired with interest.

"Not optimistic." Diluc didn't hesitate, "Compared to the immortals, the Seven Stars are too weak. ”

"If I had mastered the intelligence system of the Fatui, I would have directly passed on the competition between the Seven Stars and the Eight Gates."

Although he didn't know if Seven Stars had done this, it didn't cost anything to spread rumors.

"With the attitude of the immortals towards mortals, they don't think too much about it at all, they just want to confirm this guess in person."

"After Morax's death, the power struggle began, and in the eyes of the immortals who were high up, this was the biggest failure of human rule."

During this time, he learned enough information about Liyue, half of it was from Ningguang, and the other half was his own intelligence network.

"What they need is not that the Seven Stars really did something wrong, but a reason why the Seven Stars did something wrong, whether they have done this or not, as long as they think that the Seven Stars have done this, then the matter is over."

Diluc's face was grim, "In this respect, the god of rock is as free as the god of wind in Mondstadt. ”

The rule of man is something that Morax strongly advocates.

Liyue and Mondstadt had a different environment, with the founding of Mondstadt beginning with the Gosan family and Barbatos, who established an established aristocracy after Barbatos retired.

It was precisely because of their special status that the Lawrence family later had the opportunity to rebel.

The establishment of Liyue has a relationship with the people of Liyue, but it is not very reasonable, the establishment of Liyue began with the Immortals and Morax, who maintained the peace in the Daedric War and expanded the territory of Liyue.

There is no doubt that these immortals have made great contributions.

Because the boss is Morax, they have no chance of being successful, and Morax doesn't need to make any tricks about the cunning rabbit and the lackey.

However, real merit should be equally rewarded.

So, what did the immortals who defended peace gain for Liyue's expansion?

Diluc investigated a little and found the answer.

They returned to the mountains and forests, and found nothing but the occasional incense.

Even this little bit of faith in Liyue today has mostly become a request—people are not looking for immortals, they are asking for immortals to directly fulfill their delusions.

Because there is a request, so give a little incense first.

Even if he thought about it on his knees, he didn't think that this was also what the immortals thought.

Perhaps this is what the immortals think, after all, they don't care about any rewards.

But it would be a bit of nonsense to say that they had no desire to control the kingdom they had almost single-handedly built, and to build a kingdom willingly and then get out of the way and hand over control to humanity.

When Morax was alive, the rule of man was really the rule of man.

When He said this, the immortals could only be silent.

But a dead God, no matter how brilliant he was in the past, has no right to speak now.

In the eyes of the immortals, it was too early for the rule of man, and both the Seven Stars and the larger Liyue people were too immature.

This is a reason to do it, and as long as you do it, you will definitely be able to find the problem of the seven stars.

The problem of the seven stars is the problem of man's rule in this environment.

Rama was not against Diluc's idea.

It is possible to create contradictions, but unfortunately, Morax is not dead.

Some of the immortals should have noticed the news, and their final outcome was nothing more than a scheduled show according to Morax's script.
