176 - tacit understanding

Contrary to Diluc and Rama's expectations, the person who greeted them in the wilderness for the help of the two outsiders was not one of Ningguang's subordinates.

"Thank you for coming."

Although I don't feel the need for outsiders to intervene in Liyue's internal affairs.

The hair was delicately combed with two cat-ear-like sharp corners, and the beautiful Miss Yu Hengxing thanked her briefly, and then went straight to the point.

"I've observed the Fatui in action here for a while, and the number of exchanges of materials has decreased dramatically during this time, and I'm afraid the Fatui experiment has been a complete success."

Keqing looked at Diluc and Rama, and said seriously: "Do you have any ideas?" ”

Normally, this carved cat should stay in Liyue Harbor at this moment.

If you want to recruit those key people in the eight gates, there is no way to impress them just by going to subordinates.

There is not enough respect, and the deputy has no way to promise something too precious.

Surrender is a condition, they have conditions, and the deputy has no way to accept it, so the master must personally sit in charge.

[Guessed wrong? Seven stars are actually harmonious internally, and everyone has no competition with harmony? 】

Similar thoughts flashed through him, and Rama said quietly, "I have another idea, according to the information provided to me by Diluc, the foreign traveler who moved Mondstadt also has a forbidden urn in his hand. ”

"Miss Yu Hengxing's guess is that they are going to get out after they finish it, so I mention another possibility, maybe the research of the Fatui has already ended, and at this moment, it is actively exposed."

"Seducing the eye is a matter of no taboos, and Seven Stars will definitely send someone to investigate." Diluc's expression was subtle, "If it's an ordinary secret agent, you can kill it directly after you come." ”

"The death of an intelligence officer will gradually increase the value of intelligence, and normally speaking, Seven Stars will quickly increase the weight at this time and make a final decision."

I sure won't give them one by one.

Could it be that these intelligence agents will die at the hands of bandits or monsters in the mountains while probing information?

There are so few such cases that anyone can see that they have discovered valuable information and died at the hands of the enemy.

At this time, you must increase the weight.

Keqing was silent for a moment, "There is also a certain possibility, so I came to the right place." ”

She was well aware of the situation inside Liyue Harbor, though that didn't stop her from being here at this time.

No one wants to procrastinate, and if there is a problem in Liyue, it must be solved as soon as possible.

To solve the problem, we need to increase the weight, but the funds that everyone can use on the table are limited, and if it is spent here, there will naturally be less there.

In this way, the Fatui will be able to free up more people to do what they want to do.

Of course, normal intelligence officers can't come back, and their deaths will be passed on as a kind of intelligence.

But Keqing is one of the seven stars, and the position of the seven stars is still in the dark, and once someone catches the handle, he has to kill himself as soon as possible.

What's more, it is an upright plot to kill the Seven Stars.

Once this kind of thing is done, everyone can only go to war.

It is clear that war is not the end that the Fatui want.

"Give it a try." Rama looked relaxed, "If I had known you would be here, there would have been no need for Diluc and I to come. ”

Seven Stars personally came forward to ask for an answer, and this can only be given to them.

The Fatui don't make sense to arrange too much of a crisis.

"I insisted on coming." Keqing's tone was as usual, "If the problem exists, it must be solved, and instead of letting others take risks, it is better for me to solve it myself." ”

"Let's get back to the point, Ningguang actually means to destroy this place directly, and ignore the research behind it."

"But I want the Fatui to know about the Hundred Forbidden Urns."

There are no taboos, and in the records of ancient books, she can allow mortals to exert some special divine power to deal with foreign enemies.

Of course, this legend is true, and the talisman provided by Tartaglia probably does have this ability.

After all, in the final stage, the Hundred No Forbidden Urns he imitated did play a role.

It's not necessarily 100% supernatural, but the simulation is pretty good.

Regarding power, Rama couldn't help but think about it.

The power of the Hundred Forbidden Basket can be used to deal with external enemies, and the definition of external enemies is not entirely clear, for example, in front of the current Seven Stars, are the immortals who are about to come to Liyue Harbor to hold accountable, are they considered external enemies?

What he wants is to cut off Liyue's human rule and establish a throne of immortals on top of the Seven Stars, so that the immortals can overlook and control the overall situation.

"Absolutely." Diluc didn't care, "But we also have some interest in the study of the Fatui. ”

Keqing glanced at Rama, then nodded slightly.

Not every research base set up by the Fatui in the field is illegal, at least compared to the great sage of Sumeru in this intelligence, their research here is too normal.

They are only researching and imitating the Hundred Forbidden Urns.

What to say, Liyue's ancestors almost always had a special attitude towards the news related to the immortals, so much so that although Keqing knew about the actions of the Fatui now, she couldn't convict them, because there was no such law.

Is it a crime to imitate a hundred taboos?

It is really illegal to imitate Mora, but there are no taboos······

Tracing all the way, including the first Hundred No Taboo Urn, is also the harvest of the Fatui in the process of debt collection.

Although the means are a bit excessive, the Fatui have already been taken on top, and there is no way to continue to hold them accountable.

The principle of repaying debts is also common in Liyue today, and if the other party borrows a debt from the Fatui and is unwilling to pay it back, the Fatui certainly have the right to claim back this part of the property.

Of course, it's still a matter of means.

However, some of the Fatui have already submitted an application to the General Affairs Department, including all the inside information about the debt issue, and the fact that "I was angry at the time and did something wrong, and now I regret it so much, and I am willing to accept the judgment of the law of Liyue" has long since been put on top.

At this time, the tracking can no longer track down people.

There are rules to be followed, and the Fatui did it, but they didn't break Liyue's laws and rules.

But Seven Stars still wants to knock out this camp.

There are no taboos and their own value, beware of the Fatui or simply value this achievement, and it is inevitable to do it.

The harmony on the face does not affect Tartaglia's plan to call the demon god, nor does it affect the seven stars to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey.

The things that should be in these questions are not suitable for Keqing.

She looks okay here, but if she wants to get involved in this matter that is biased towards robbery, Yu Hengxing's identity will not be able to protect her.

It's better to say that Yu Hengxing will not forcibly take away the legitimate research results of the Fatui, the purple-haired girl you found, she just looks like Yu Hengxing.

Everyone has to follow the rules, except for the Seven Consuls, no one in Teyvat can be too free and presumptuous at the moment.

The Order will be hunted, and Brother Kong will have to run away if he is wanted in the future.

Identity determines what to do, what Keqing can do, Yu Hengxing can't, and Theofan does not do what the Fatui don't.

Keqing readily agreed to this request.

Fair and reasonable.

If you let your people charge, most of them will have a little unsightly casualty figures.

Since the two foreigners are going to charge ahead, they should naturally be paid extra.

"If the two of us don't come, I think this job will be empty." Rama whispered.

Diluc frowned slightly: "Why do you say that?" ”

"Because that's not the case with him in Mondstadt, they trick him into helping him with something unimportant." Rama spread his hands, "Without Tartaglia's solicitation, he can only choose the Seven Stars this time." ”

"They are all strangers, and if they are killed or injured, they should pay for the reward, which is better than their own people being injured."

And Brother Kong is indeed better than ordinary people.

What he can do, he may not be able to do well at spending a lot of Mora to hire an entire team.

Low energy consumption and high efficiency, if you have to pick a person to hire, there is no reason not to choose empty.

Diluc subconsciously wanted to argue on behalf of the Knights: "We gave him the title of Knight of Honor······ You're right, it's really useless. ”

As a member of the Mondstadt Family, Diluc knows the value of honor.

For a pure knight like Jean, honor is something worth paying for and maintaining.

But Sora apparently doesn't have such an idea.

"Being an honorary knight can also bring some extra help to Sora, after all, this is an honor bestowed by the knights themselves, and when it comes to Mondstadt, most of them will be taken care of."

Diluc thought for a moment, "But with the strength of a traveler, he doesn't need this background to still be recognized by everyone." ”

"For Sora, this honor is really worthless."

Mora, or the value of wealth is quite stable, rich is rich, no money is no money, this aspect is clearly marked, everyone is very simple.

But the value of more things depends on the desires of the person concerned, and it is clear that there is no need for this honor.

It is not what the adventurer needs, and such a hire is certainly unreasonable.

When Diluc thinks about it, he actually ignores the same things as Rama.

They invariably put friendship on the back burner and refuse to take it into account.

Rama looked at the camp not far away.

The research power of the Fatui is really a little too good.

[If Sumeru also has this kind of scientific research strength, there is no need to run around, and these things can be solved in his own country. 】

Sumeru, a society of scholars, actually has such potential.

Regrettably, the Six Sages of the early years were not here, and their admiration was for a time to refuse to study evolutionary matters.

Even if it is an enemy, this pot should not be thrown at Hazard.

This kind of research is risky, the expected benefits are only theoretical, and it requires a large number of human samples as experimental samples.

If you want to study the evolution of human beings, if you always use other life as samples, this progress is too slow.

It is also normal that the six sages are reluctant to do this.

Rama also faced the same problem.

He could do countless calculations on paper, but to really make progress, he still had to conduct experiments on humans, and visually test the effectiveness of the potion by observing their physical reactions.

I really couldn't find any suitable partners for this job other than the Fatui.

Thankfully, at least for now, their collaboration has come to an end.

The end of the collaboration, of course, there is no backstab partner talk.

"Alert!"

Neither Rama nor Diluc had any idea of hiding it, and the two of them simply put on their masks and then planned to charge straight away.

"No wonder Diluc didn't even change his clothes when he was a Night Hero in Mondstadt."

Rama muttered in a low voice.

It was only when he really did it that he realized why the travelers in the plot wore a mask every time they disguised themselves.

The mask can't hide his identity in front of the parties, just Brother Kong's blonde hair and height, plus Paimon behind him, everyone should be able to recognize it.

But after Sora and Diluc did it, there was no one involved who could stand up and denounce it.

It doesn't matter how disguised it is, as long as it is passable on face.

The rebellion was more tragic than expected, and in Rama's expectation, it should have been thrown outcast.

However, the Fatui were more desperate than expected.

Rama followed Diluc, silently assisting.

In the story's world quests or personal lore quests, there are a variety of Fatui that can be seen, including some hilarious professionals.

The same is true of the Abyss Order.

But in the main plot, most of these two families are brave to the point of not being afraid of death.

However, it is useless to insist.

People must always respect objective facts.

Weapon changes are much easier to use than bones, especially in Teyvat, where Diluc is strong enough to determine the outcome of a small encounter, and higher than the Demon God can make numbers a farce.

"Judgment!"

Shaking off the blood from the great sword, Diluc resolutely opened up.

The temptation was over, and the will of these men to resist was quite in line with his impression of the Fatui, but the strength of the resistance was much worse.

It is indeed an outcast.

The executive in charge of the place didn't expect them to resist too successfully.

"Seven Stars have been caught." He glanced at Rama paddling, "We may not be able to catch up." ”

Surveillance and counter-surveillance are both part of routine operations, and as a result, it is not only Keqing who is spying on the Fatui, but also her movements.

"Will they do something to Yu Hengxing?"

It was a tacit agreement that they would not attack the higher-ups lightly, and the Liyue incident was over, and Tartaglia was not affected.

Not to forgive the enemy, but to protect yourself.

But this is not a rule, just a tacit understanding.

If the benefits are large enough, of course, this tacit understanding can be destroyed.

"You see that?" Rama did not answer.

"Morax isn't dead." Diluc sighed, "It shouldn't be. ”

Isn't this really the god of the wind in the skin of the god of rock?
