Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 329

Liyue is the city with the longest history, especially now that the Sea Lantern Festival is approaching. Although the emperor has encountered a catastrophe, many shops still start to prepare for the purchase of festival supplies.

Calculating the time, it has been more than half a month since the emperor left. Although the murderer who assassinated Prince Yan has not been arrested yet, Qixing has already completely controlled the turbulent situation.

If it weren't for the presence of immortals, the common people would gradually adapt to the age of humans.

Lanterns woven with red silk threads glow brightly, and are decorated with intricately patterned tassels hanging in front of every house.

Usually, the residents of Liyue will also draw pictures about ancient legends, martial arts anecdotes, and fairy secrets on the paper of Xiaodeng, condensing the ancient years of humans and immortals on the bright lanterns, and praising the great achievements of primates. .

However, tonight, lanterns were hung up in all kinds of shops in the harbor as usual, but the bustle of the past was gone in the market.

There are fewer pedestrians coming and going under Chihuyan, and there is no shouting and selling of merchants and hawkers.

Even the laughter and laughter of children chasing each other no longer exists.

The city gate to the north of the harbor has entered a state of martial law.

Many foreign tourists and businessmen who normally entered and left the city were stopped near the Linhai Arch Bridge, and were strictly guarded by the Qianyan Army.

The same is true for the traveler and Zhongli who returned to Liyue from Guiliyuan.

"Ying, look at the sky!"

Just as Zhong Li was about to come forward to negotiate with the Qianyan Army, Paimeng suddenly raised his finger to the sky.

Qunyu Pavilion, which was originally in the middle of the sky over Liyue Harbor, has moved to be closer to Tianheng Mountain, as if to block something.

The spectators outside Liyue Harbor only saw the light of the Immortal just arriving at the Jade Pavilion, and now they don't know how far the game between the two sides has progressed.

In addition to the spectators and traveling merchants, Ying and Zhongli also noticed that in the hidden place of the city gate, several members of the Fools in black and purple coats and masks with black mouths were whispering, as if they were discussing in the dark what action.

The girl suddenly had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, and Ning Guang suddenly ordered the whole city to be under martial law. She probably had already anticipated the coming of the immortal, and the fools were already the key targets of surveillance.

"Perhaps these fools know something... Go and ask the situation first."

Zhong Li took his time and walked towards the corner under the arch bridge.

As early as when Dadalia first arrived in Liyue, he signed a guide contract with Beiguo Bank on behalf of the Hall of Rebirth, and he often had property exchanges with fools on weekdays.

At that time, the reputation of fools was completely different from what it is now.

At first, the purpose of the arrival of the Fools' missions and the advance army was to protect Liyue from the black disaster of the layered rock abyss.

When they set off, their executive officer also mentioned that this expedition was not about small calculations and any conspiracy.

But as time passed and strategic goals shifted, opinions among the executives of the Fools also diverged.

Affected by this, coupled with the inconvenient communication between the ground and the layered rock abyss, the advance army of fools who first entered the layered rock abyss to explore, in addition to enduring the strange phenomenon underground, must also be wary of the material supply that may be interrupted at any time, as well as the betrayal of their companions .

Putting the past aside, what Zhong Li cares more about is the current situation of Xiangsheng Hall.

However, before Zhongli and the traveler could walk over, the fools headed by them approached first.

"Miss."

"Oh, there is also Mr. Zhongli, the guest of the Pastoral Hall."

The blond man wearing the sharp-mouthed mask of the Fools ignored the scrutinizing eyes of the Qianyan army around him, first nodded to Ying, and then pulled the two of them to the side of the road.

"My name is Felix, and I am a member of the mission sent by the Bank of Northland."

"Mr. Zhongli, you have also seen that the Qianyan army is strictly monitoring us. Now is an extraordinary period. You... and the friends of this young master, don't act rashly!"

The fools named Felix warned in a serious manner, but his tone was always a bit weird when he mentioned his love.

"critical moments?"

Zhong Li frowned slightly.

"That's right, the immortals from Absolute Cloud have finally left. They must have come here with ill intentions."

Felix looked up at the huge pavilion floating in the air, and snorted disdainfully.

"Oh? Could it be that the immortals are asking for help for the teacher?"

Zhong Li raised his hand to support his chin, and followed Felix's words to ask.

"It's probably like this. I heard that some of the Seven Stars brought people to greet them early... Hey, it's more like welcoming the immortals than trying to stop the immortals from outside the city."

"But the attitudes of both sides are very tough, and the negotiations have reached an impasse for a while."

Felix unreservedly disclosed the information he knew to Zhongli and Traveler, and it seemed that he completely regarded the other party as his own.

Hearing this, Zhong Li could only heave a long sigh: "Alas... it is inevitable that things have come to this point."

Felix's voice paused for a moment, as if confirming what Zhongli wanted to express, and then continued:

"As far as I know, the immortals don't recognize the identity of the Seven Stars at all, but only recognize the contract with the Rock God. If they decide to attack by force, even if the entire force of Liyue Port is combined, they may not be able to stop it."

Zhong Li nodded, expressing his agreement with Felix's speculation.

Based on his understanding of those old friends, if he really went crazy, it would definitely not be a problem to overthrow Liyue.

"But Liyue Qixing is definitely not someone who just sits and waits to die."

Keqing's resolute eyes and those disrespectful words flashed in Zhongli's mind.

"Hmph, who doesn't know that they have a tough attitude?"

"But because of this, the conflict between humans and immortals will be on the verge of breaking out!"

Felix narrowed his eyes contemptuously, as if he was happy to see Qixing's negotiation with the immortal break down.

Zhong Li shook his head thoughtfully, and asked another question: "So why are fools the target of public criticism at this time when immortals are fighting?"

It’s good that Zhongli didn’t mention it, but when it was mentioned, Felix became so angry that he gritted his teeth and said angrily:

"Tch, it's not because of that damned gaze!"

"What are you talking about, at this moment when the rain is about to come, the Qianyan army should completely control the movements of the fools."

"Bah! Didn't think of restricting our actions until now? Seven Stars are nothing more than that!"

Felix spat on the ground with disdain and contempt, then turned his head to explain to Zhong Li.

"In short, Mr. Zhongli, you can be regarded as a collaborator of fools, and half of your attitude is our attitude. At this time, don't let people catch you."

Speaking of which, even Paimon, who was the dullest, realized the seriousness of the situation.

"It seems that the various contradictions in Liyue Port have completely reached their limit..."

Saying that, Paimon blinked and looked at Ying.

"So is there anything I can do?"

Reminiscent of her identity as a traveler, the girl stood up with firm eyes.

"You mean, do you want to mediate with a special neutral status? Or do you want to change some balance by your own force?"

Zhongli stared at Ying without any surprise, and then turned his gaze to the opposite side of the arch bridge.

At this time, Liyue was in a state of chaos due to the imposing presence of the immortals. The uplifted felt cloth and tiles were scattered all over the ground, the canopy of the stalls rolled up into the sky, and the ships at the dock were also torn off their anchors by the sudden tide. Capsize with the waves.

The mountain rain shakes, and the wind blows.

At this time, Felix seemed to suddenly recall something, took out a few pieces of paper with Condensed Seal from his pocket, and handed it to Zhongli.

"Mr. Zhongli, this is the passport that my lord asked me to bring to you."

"I heard that your Pastoral Church seems to have been involved in the conflict, and you are confronting the officers and soldiers who came to your door."

Felix continued to remind, and Zhongli nodded in understanding.

He knew that Hutao would not be content with himself at this time.

"This is not good."

"It seems that I have to take a step first and go to the Hall of Life. I hope Hall Master Hutao can handle it, and don't cause any more trouble."

A trace of worry flashed across Zhongli's pale gold eyes.

Although Hu Tao has been able to independently preside over various rituals and rituals of the Hall of Rebirth, and has a lot of weird ideas in his head, but after all, he is young and inexperienced.

Thinking of Lao Hu's entrustment at the end of his life, Zhongli could not rest assured that Hu Tao would deal with Qianyan Army's interrogation alone.

"Also, traveler, you should think again. In my opinion, if you want to prevent an explosion that is about to explode, it is better to find out where the fuze is."

Zhongli took out two passports, handed them to Ying and Paimeng, and hurried towards the direction of Xiangshengtang.

After Mr. Ke Qing left, Felix also said goodbye to Ying and returned to his colleagues in the corner.

Their main task was to monitor the movements of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and the alchemist family that had just set off.

When Zhongli and the Fools were gone, Paimon laid down listlessly on the traveler's head.

"Huh... It seems that being a friend of fools on the road has both benefits and troubles."

"So, Ying, what did the fuze that Zhongli mentioned just now refer to?"

The girl raised the pass in her hand, and she already guessed who the fuze in Zhongli's mouth was.

"Oh, what do you mean... the fuze is the rich lady of Ningguang!"

Following Zhong Li's example, Pai Meng put his hand on his chin and suddenly clapped his hands.

"oops!"

What came to meet her was not Ying's approval, but the girl's slightly bent knuckles and crisp brain collapse.

"The fuze is the son."

Ying resolutely said the name Zhongli hinted at, and after showing the pass to the Qianyan Army guards, she led Paimeng into the undercurrent of the harbor city, detoured from the pier to eat Huyan, and walked towards the height of Liyue.

"Oh, then... then where should we go to find him?"

Paimon held his head pitifully, and followed closely behind the girl, fearing that the raging sea wind would blow her away.

"The Golden House."

Ying walked through the covered bridges and sundries with determination, and headed straight to the Liyue Coin Mint with Tianheng Mountain as its back.
