Chapter Ninety-Nine: Harboring a Ghost in My Heart
With a slight bow in his body, Sasuke has adjusted his state to meet the battle.
Seeing his posture like this, Childe spread his hands and explained:
"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, and we're just colleagues, so if there's any conflict between you, I don't want to get involved. ”
Hearing his words, Sasuke did not let his guard down in the slightest.
These statements are only one-sided, and he will not believe them all.
"Alright, let's forget what that woman did! I'm actually here to help you. ”
Childe continues to unleash his kindness on Sasuke.
"No, you don't."
In response to him was Sasuke's indifferent words.
Such a direct refusal made Childe's face a little unbearable.
"Hey, I'm also the executive officer of the Fatui, don't be so faceless, right?"
"I'm not a bad person...... Well, I'm probably a bad person, but at least I'm not here to trouble you. ”
"Can you please don't use that kind of look and look at me with the eyes that knock this person down immediately?"
Sasuke was still observing Childe's movements.
The other party was suspicious, and said that he wanted to help himself for no reason.
Could it be that the other party is the real culprit who assassinated the rock god? Helping yourself is actually to clear your name?
Just now, the other party showed a little strength when he repelled the Millelith Army, and his physical skills were not bad, but the power of the water arrows and water knives fired seemed to be very average.
Anyway, it definitely won't be able to break through Susanoo's defenses.
If the opponent's strength is only the strength that has just been revealed, then there should be no ability to kill the God of Rock in front of everyone, unless the other party has a special sneak attack method, such as Wendy said, the authority of the Ice God.
Authority sounds particularly mysterious, Sasuke hasn't been exposed to this level of power yet, and the closer one may be Wendy's Thousand Winds Blessing.
If you really have that level of power, why do you say you want to help yourself?
Now that you can assassinate the God of the Rock, wouldn't you be able to sweep Liyue directly?
In the assassination of the rock god that happened just now, Sasuke was more inclined to Ningguang in order to seize power, so he made a trick and foot in the ceremony of inviting immortals, and used a magic weapon to backstab his own god.
"Why are you helping me?"
Sasuke asked.
It's not been long since I've been in Liyue, and it's clear that the other party is very familiar with Liyue, so why should I help me?
Finding that Sasuke seemed to let go of his suspicions a little, Childe held his chest with one hand and continued:
"Thank you for your grace, Sasuke, Honorary Knight of Mondstadt, and Hilichurl Killer."
"I've heard about your deeds in Mondstadt, so I paid a little attention to you during the ceremony."
"Because of this, I know that you have no suspicious behavior other than the special abilities you have shown when you help your companions, and there must be someone else who assassinated the gods."
"Oh sorry...... The Fatui are envoys of the Solstice...... After such a big event, you must not be able to be trusted! ”
"The Seven Stars, who rule Liyue, are always too suspicious of us."
Sasuke didn't tell the other party his guess, just quietly watched the other party's performance.
Childe almost investigated himself, and obviously had his ulterior motives, so he didn't trust the current Seven Stars or the Fatui.
Hearing the other party talk about Mondstadt, Paimon next to Sasuke immediately became energetic, crossed his hands on his hips, and directly criticized him:
"Isn't that your own? This is the fault of the Fatui, you are in Mondstadt...... Hmm"
Paimon was about to say something, but Sasuke covered his mouth.
Paimon's big colander may have leaked out about his sneak attack on the Fatui stronghold soon, and although Paimon was in his backpack the whole time, it was better not to let her speak again.
Having already made a feud with the Seven Stars of Liyue, it would be very troublesome if they were hunted down by the Fatui because of the Stronghold.
"Uh...... Hahahaha, I really can't deny it. ”
Childe eased the awkward atmosphere with a smile.
"Just tell me what you're going on, and don't have to keep going around the bush."
Sasuke said.
"Well, I didn't expect that after so long, it still hasn't narrowed the distance between you and me."
"Forget it, it's good to keep a distance between strangers, and I'm used to this kind of wary look anyway."
"But if I have a way to clear your name for assassinating the Rock God Assassin, can you move in with me?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the Northland Bank behind him.
"Next, it's safer to say inside, you must know that there is an old saying in Liyue, which is that the wall has ears."
Sasuke thought for a moment, but still followed the other party into the bank, he was still more curious about what Childe wanted to use him next, what tricks he had.
As for clearing his suspicions, he didn't have much hope.
If the murderer was Ningguang, and now that the Rock King Emperor is dead, they have the final say in the whole of Liyue, and the referees are all their people, how can they win?
Horizontal and vertical are unreliable......
"This is the bank we opened in Liyue in the Solstice Kingdom, and although Liyue is the most important commercial center in Teyvat, our country is also very rich."
Entering the inside of the bank, pointing to the magnificent decoration and the magnificent counter inside, Childe's tone became even more proud.
"Yes, a poor country can't afford to raise a diplomat who kicks his nose in the face of the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt."
Paimon Jr. is still haunted by what Kaeya had told him earlier.
Paimon's aggressive language drew a sideways glance from some of the nearby Solstice Nation staff.
Paimon, who dared to cause trouble but was afraid of it, immediately shrank behind Sasuke.
Childe smiled and pressed his hand on the staff, signaling that they didn't have to care.
"Hehehe, we don't always do this, like I really want to help Sasuke now."
"Here, here you are."
He pulled out a paper note with strange words drawn on it from his folding bag and handed it to Sasuke.
"What is this?"
Sasuke asked, taking the paper and looking up.
"Who knows? Sometimes money can only buy things, but not names. ”
"To put it simply, this thing is a token that can make the Three-Eyed and Five-Visible Immortal not hurt you."
"Immortals?"
When he heard the immortal Sasuke, the first thing that came to mind was Jiraiya, who should still be lying in Konoha Hospital.
Lustful immortals should also be considered immortals, right?
"Out of the city to the north, in the west of Guiliyuan, there is a stone forest, its name is the Absolute Cloud Room."
"The people of Liyue believe that this is where the Immortal Cave Mansion is located."
Childe said.
"So, what do you mean?"
"Let me go and ask the immortals of Liyue for help?"
Sasuke frowned.
The word immortal is also in the ninja world, but it seems to be a bit abused, for example, Zilai likes to call himself a toad immortal.
Naruto, on the other hand, often refers to the boss of Ichiraku Ramen as a ramen sento.
What else is the sushi immortal who makes sushi particularly delicious, etc., at least in Sasuke's cognition, the gold content of this word is not particularly high.
If I have to say it, the legendary Six Dao Immortals are more powerful, but that's also legendary.
As for the immortals of this world...... His time in Liyue was too short to be sure.
