I really didn't eat much today, and my stomach was a little hungry.

Paimon in his backpack had been stuffy for so long, and without Childe's invitation, Sasuke would have planned to go camping outside Liyue City after a trip to Northland Bank.

The Crescent Pavilion was opened in the Liuli Pavilion, and Paimon introduced that the two are the representatives of Liyue's 'Moon Cai' and 'Licai', and no one has always been convinced, and the location is face-to-face, full of gunpowder.

The car came to the Liuli Pavilion with a familiar road, and then went to the Crescent Moon Xuan opposite him, and went to the No. 3 box under the guidance of the waiter.

Childe sat on the main seat of the box with a somewhat messy hairstyle, and when he saw Sasuke coming, he said hello to the waiter and asked him to start serving.

After the dishes were served, Sasuke closed the door of the box and released Paimon, and the two of them began to taste Liyue's top-notch moon dishes.

Truly extraordinary.

Childe is eating without a match, and the chopsticks are still not very proficient.

After Paimon swept half of the dishes on the table, he seemed to notice Childe's abnormality, and seemed a little embarrassed, slowing down his eating speed slightly, although it was still very fast.

"What's the matter, Childe, it feels like you have something on your mind."

Childe smiled reluctantly.

"Haha, is it that obvious? It's all visible to you. ”

"Of course, you almost put the word worry on your face, what happened?"

Childe stopped his chopsticks and stopped eating them completely.

"Underestimate that woman."

"Huh? What's wrong? I'm hiding in Sasuke's bag today, shopping with Zhongli, is there something I don't know about? ”

Paimon is very cooperative in helping Sasuke get through today's journey.

"So, Sasuke should have a feeling, right?"

"You know what I mean."

Sasuke nodded.

"The Millelith of Liyue seems to be particularly wary of the Fatui today."

"It's not just defense, that woman is also diverting contradictions."

Childe sighed.

"She learned of our military buildup in Liyue through their channels, and she's been sending her agents to spread the word that the Emperor was assassinated."

"Because there is no evidence for fear that our diplomats will be held accountable, they officially dare not say it in a big way, so they have been letting those people of all religions hint on various occasions that the Fatui are wrongdoing to the emperor."

"If we Fatui had done this, we would have generously admitted it, but it was really ...... that Liyue was used to divert the Emperor's death at the ceremony they held to invite immortals too"

Paimon paused, thought for a moment, and finished his favorite dish before he said:

"It's not because you Fatui usually do too many bad things, it's too easy to dump the pot on you."

After finishing her mouth, she seemed to feel that she was not full again, and pointed to the dishes on the table and said a little pitifully:

"Can I still eat?"

Childe was amused by Paimon's gesture, waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and then continued to say to Sasuke:

"A lot of our Fatui intelligence points have been taken away by a mysterious person, who is very sophisticated and decisive, and there may be much less information about Liyue in the future."

Sasuke ate the dish silently.

"Why are you telling me this, I'm not a Fatui."

"Hmm...... I didn't mean to blackmail, you can see the methods of Liyue Seven Stars, and Ningguang blamed me for this crime because he didn't catch you, of course I don't mean to blame you. ”

Childe folded a armor very skillfully, and then continued to say to Sasuke PUA:

"I mean, Liyue blamed the Fatui for not catching you, and if Liyue caught you, would she use you to blame them for the Seven Stars of Liyue in the same way?"

"Uchiha Sasuke, now that we are in the same boat, or a grasshopper on a rope, the hope of turning the tables is to come into contact with the Rock Emperor's dharma, and then leave behind evidence, as long as we get the evidence, we Fatui diplomats can exert diplomatic pressure on the Seven Stars of Liyue."

"I'm a martial artist, and the fact that I'm in Liyue this time is a bit out of my power, so it's better for me to have a good fight with Liyue Sevenstar than for me to do this, but Liyue Sevenstar is now using this kind of intrigue and trickery to make me feel powerless."

"I genuinely consider you my friend, and now that the Fatui are confined to the constriction of the light in Liyue's space, I need your help."

"Before, I gave you a hundred taboo urns to go to the Absolute Cloud to find the immortals, the immortals have not arrived for a long time, and I will help you to connect with Mr. Zhongli of the Afterlife Hall, this time you must seize the opportunity to find the evidence of the immortal ancestor law, so that it is not only for me, but also for you."

Seeing that Sasuke was still silent and did not say anything, Childe continued to draw cakes:

"When this is done, I can vouch for you and join the Fatui."

"You see, no matter what you do, you will not be able to gain a foothold in Liyue, either they will be used as a scapegoat for the mistake of inviting the Immortal Ceremony, and you will be quietly wiped out after taking the blame, or you will become a thorn in the side of the Seven Stars of Liyue after clearing your name."

"But it's not the same when you join the Fatui, and the Solstice Council is your strongest backing."

"The Seven Stars of Liyue will force you to kneel out of lust, and the Solstice Fool will make you stand up and give you a new lease of life in glory."

"As long as we have strength, the Solstice Kingdom will give everyone freedom and wealth, and we will unite by the Empress's side for the ideal."

As he spoke, Childe stretched out a hand to Sasuke.

Childe seems to be revealing his true feelings, although he did not cry, but he also looked sincere.

If Sasuke hadn't returned to Mondstadt to see Wendy, and knew that the Hundred Forbidden Urn was a forgery, the Fatui would have been almost convinced since the beginning.

However, Sasuke still held Childe's hand, and also showed that he was moved by the other party.

He would indeed help the Fatui advance the plan in the coming time, and that was part of the plan.

"I'm doing that."

Paimon, who was on the side, saw Sasuke's movements, and stopped talking, but in the end, he didn't say anything and worked silently.

After the meal, Sasuke left Crescent Pavilion and prepared to head to the outskirts of Liyue Harbor.

Seeing Sasuke leave, Childe was also relieved.

The words he had just said to Sasuke were lines that Catherine had taught him, and they were half-truths and half-truths.

Ekaterina said these words are the most lethal than someone of Sasuke's age, and they will definitely impress the other party.

In order to integrate these lines well, there was no trace of deliberate performance, but he spent half a day under her guidance.

Because he really admired Sasuke, or rather, the strength of the other party to defeat Dvalin, and the strength of the Fatui stronghold alone.

Although Sasuke did a good job of concealing it, he already knew that Sasuke had attacked the Mondstadt stronghold.

There are not many famous Inazuma people who are active and famous outside of Inazuma now, especially the Inazuma people who can send the power of ghosts and gods.

This is consistent with the information provided by Madame to Headquarters.

And the reason why Childe hasn't said it is because he doesn't want Sasuke to have a mustard because of this.

……

On the other hand, after Sasuke left Liyue Harbor, he first stripped the Fatui from his body and changed it back into his own clothes.

After Sasuke had changed his clothes, Paimon took away the hand covering his eyes and asked softly:

"Sasuke, are you really going to join the Fatui?"

Sasuke looked at Paimon in surprise.

"Of course not, it's part of the plan."

"Didn't you hear my conversation with Zhongli when you were in the Hall of the Dead before?"

"Forehead ......"

Paimon scratched his head.

"I was feeling a little bored at the time, so I took a nap in your bag and didn't notice."

"It's good that you didn't join the Fatui, then I'm relieved, hehe."

"I feel like the Fatui have been trying to use us, and it's so nice to say, but they actually want to use us as guns, huh."

"Even if they invite me to eat Crescent Moon Xuan every day, I won't approve of them!"

Tonight is still in the wild looking for Iwajin Hitomi and camping.

One of the latter benefits of having Zhongli's Rock Pillar ability is that you don't have to worry about heavy rain in the wild when camping.

Changing the shape of the pillars will hold up their camp to avoid stagnant water, and they can hold up the folded and thickened pillars on their heads to keep out the rain.

Very easy to use.

After returning to the ninja world, Sasuke recharged his sleep a little, and then went to Naruto's house after dawn to wake him up.

With Zhongli's insurance, he needed to test whether this seal would have no effect on Naruto's body and whether it could eliminate the bad effects caused by the rampage, so he used Ruota's power to erect more than a dozen rock pillars to encircle a large range.

With the appearance of those translucent seals, Naruto felt that the chakra flow in his body became very slow, and his movements became extremely difficult, and he needed to use several times the strength before to barely move normally.

Naruto patted the rock pillar made by Sasuke, a little surprised by the strangeness of the rock pillar.

"Sasuke, when did you learn such a magical earth escape sealing technique?"

"I feel very difficult to move inside."

"A new ability to write wheels."

Sasuke explained.

"You try to break this barrier with the power you seized at the Nine-Tails yesterday."

"Okay."

Naruto nodded, and then the chakra of the Nine-Tails covered his entire body.

"Use all the Nine-Tails Chakra and don't leave anything unturned."

"Hmm."

The red chakra on Naruto's body surface skyrocketed again, but the feeling of suppression within the seal became more obvious as the more chakras on Naruto's body surface.

"With your most powerful attack, bombard this barrier."

The vermilion spiral pill condensed in Naruto's hand, but the feeling of suppression inside the seal made the process of condensing the spiral pill very unsmooth.

"It's ...... Labored. ”

The Spiral Pill finally condensed and formed in Naruto's hands, but the size of the Spiral Pill was still much smaller than the normal size, and Naruto, who was using the Nine-Tails Chakra, began to gasp slightly.

Although the chakra of the Nine-Tails was used, this spiral pill didn't even leave a ripple on the seal, not to mention that the earth created like Ruotuo was shaking.

It seems to be working outstandingly.

Sasuke also breathed a sigh of relief and removed the seal between the rock pillars.

To maintain this seal, you need to use his Ruotuo elemental power chakra, and the damage received by the seal is also offset by the elemental power chakra, and the tailed beast power spiral pill that Naruto was suppressed just now only consumed a slight amount of energy, so far it seems that as long as Naruto is not completely controlled by the nine-tails, there is no problem at all to prevent the attack under his previous four tails.

He is not affected in this enchantment, as long as he suppresses it, he can absorb Naruto's negative emotions with the Sharingan to alleviate and continue the Nine-Tails.

Naruto let go of using the shadow clone today to start today's practice.

Don't worry about going violent, he'll shoot.

And in today's training, I don't know if the Nine-Tails realized that this enchantment was not simple, and there was no trouble at all, and Naruto's shadow clone and body did not show any signs of rampage like last time.

This made Sasuke a little regretful.

He still wanted to test the strength of this sealing technique with the Nine-Tails.

Today has passed so peacefully.

The chakra that Naruto had previously captured from the Nine-Tails had also squandered in today's training, slightly getting used to the feeling of using the Nine-Tails Chakra.

Sasuke began to think about helping Naruto get some Tailed Beast Chakra from the Nine-Tails in a few days, and it would not work to pick and search like this.

In Paimon's words, you've got so many Mora, no, so many chakras, what's wrong with me using it, stingy.

In the next few days, when he was in Teyvat, Sasuke basically ran various errands with Zhongli, collecting the ritual supplies needed to send the immortals.

Zhongli was very particular about his funeral.

According to his words, sending immortals is more important than inviting immortals, because there can be many times to invite immortals, and there can be only one time to send immortals, which is thousands of years of precipitation and rules.

Now that the pace of Liyue Harbor is getting faster and faster, there are fewer and fewer immortals, and more and more young people have forgotten and are unwilling to follow this tradition and rules.

With these days of getting along, Sasuke finally knew why Zhongli obviously didn't care much about the affairs of the Afterlife Hall, and the eccentric Walnut Hall Master was willing to pay him a high amount of money to make him a guest of the Afterlife Hall even though he didn't know that Zhongli was the Emperor of the Rock King.

For example, when Zhongli was looking for Immortal Incense, he went to Liyue's pharmacy Bubulu, where he met a cute-looking, but somewhat strange, little zombie Qiqi who had been rescued by the immortals.

If you want immortal incense, you need to help the other party hunt the coconut sheep, a half-immortal beast.

But Zhongli, as the god of Liyue, had never heard of coconut sheep.

After working for a long time, I figured out that the other party originally wanted coconut milk, but mistakenly thought that coconut milk was the milk of the fairy beast coconut sheep.

This is also a side reaction, if there is something in Liyue that Zhongli does not know, then it must not exist.

He was a walking encyclopedia, not just for Liyue, as if all of Zhongli's questions could be answered here.

In the past few days, Sasuke's observation of Liyue has not ended, and in the past few days, the talk about the future of the country has decreased everywhere in the streets of Liyue.

Everyone gradually realized that even if the rock god Morax really didn't exist, life didn't seem to be much different from before.

As Childe said, the strategy used by Ningguang was very successful.

She first shifted the contradictions, and now there are more discussions on the streets, but all kinds of conspiracy theories about the Fatui are discussed.

Then everyone was amazed to find that the Fatui in Liyue were being targeted to death by the Millelith.

Pushing forward, the Fatui seem to have been distrusted and suppressed by the Seven Stars of Liyue in Liyue, and they are diplomatically weak.

As a result, there are rumors among the people that the Fatui used the power of the Ice Empress to plot against the Emperor of the Rocks, and that the great leader of the Seven Stars of Liyue, Ning Guang, has revealed that the case has been revealed, and that no action has been taken against the Fatui to find conclusive evidence, but the Fatui in Liyue have basically been brought under control.

At the same time, a number of cases of Fatui spies seized by the Seven Stars of Liyue were reported, adding fuel to the rumor.

And how did this make the majority of the people who were panicked before perceive and receive it?

Promotions for large and small shops that have been held before.

Sasuke didn't know how to make so many stores agree to open discounts to attract people to come out to consume and receive information, but Zhongli's guess was that the rent of various shops would be reduced.

Liyue's Heavenly Power Star Ningguang also manages Liyue's commerce, and Liyue Harbor is the commercial center of Liyue, where rents are not cheap for shops or roadside stalls.

Ningguang used her own methods, either tax reductions or subsidies, to get shops large and small to sign contracts to reduce prices and activate the economy in just a day or two, attracting the panicked people of Liyue to re-examine Liyue without the rock god, and not using official notices to guide the wind of public opinion by means of a diplomatic counterattack by the Solstice Kingdom.

First, it is necessary to establish a temporary common enemy to divert internal contradictions, and then to attract the economy through discounts, so that the economy can remain functional, and at the same time use various methods to control public opinion.

This combination allowed Liyue Seven Stars to quickly regain control of Liyue.

This shocked Sasuke, who saw clearly and understood.

It's not a conspiracy, it's an upright conspiracy.

The Fatui who had been suppressed in Liyue were almost unspeakable.

Regarding himself, Uchiha Sasuke's wanted warrant has always been there, and on the day of the invitation to the immortal ceremony, Childe did participate in the rescue of himself, and there were many witnesses to this operation, which confirmed the conspiracy theory in disguise.

She also calculated this kind of contingency into an improvisation.

At the same time, recently, Gongzi recently funded the Hall of the Dead, and those who were preparing to hold a ceremony to send immortals were also picked up, which further confirmed that the Fatui had a plot against the emperor's legal transformation.

The Seven Stars are on guard against this, and although they do not object to the Fatui's funding of the Hall of the Dead, any member related to the Fatui will be guarded against, and there is no possibility of coming into contact with the Ancestral Fa through the Hall of the Dead.

At this time, the ritual props needed for the immortal ceremony are also about to be prepared, and on the eve of the immortal ceremony, this matter was discovered under the 'coincidence', and it is difficult not to suspect that it was deliberate.

At the beginning of this whirlpool, Childe also publicly stated that he helped the Death Hall because he admired the emperor and wanted the emperor to have a good death, and wanted Sasuke to carry out this action.

If the Fatui withdraw their funding for the Hall of the Dead at this time and want to return the sacrificial supplies, then a series of things will be completely confirmed, and it is no longer a conspiracy theory.

The icing was eaten and all the shells were thrown back.

Childe's every action was like handing Ningguang a knife to him.

Poor son, toyed with by the Seven Stars of Liyue.
