'Boss? The plan?' D'Artagnan paused for a moment upon hearing this, then suddenly realized and fell silent.

How could anyone use "boss" to refer to the Empress?! That's disrespectful to the gods!

wrong……

A moment later, D'Artagnan suddenly froze, looking at Fang Rui with a serious expression. "How did you know the Queen was going to change the plan?!"

For a moment, D'Artagnan's mind raced, and he suspected that there was a mole among the higher-ups of the Fatui, and a hint of murderous intent arose in his heart to silence him.

Queen Winter was so frightened that she quickly released cold air to cool down Tartaglia, otherwise she would lose a loyal executor!

"Of course, we have a deal with Queen Winter; we are partners."

Upon hearing this, D'Artagnan narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't like to think much, it didn't mean he was stupid. He could tell from the word choice that the person was using the wrong words.

Making a deal with the Queen is different from making a deal with the Fools or the Executors.

As expected! He's no ordinary person!

The empress kept reminding him, which must have some deeper meaning.

"What do you want to know?" D'Artagnan asked after a moment of thought.

"How much has the plan been modified?" Fang Rui asked.

"Xumi's plan remains unchanged, Fontaine and Nata's plans have been abandoned, as for Inazuma..."

D'Artagnan chuckled. "Although the Fatui have abandoned their plan, some people don't want them to leave so easily, and are now trying to smear them..."

"Unfortunately, in my opinion, they are all doing useless things. The fools want to leave, and not everyone can keep them."

D'Artagnan shrugged slightly, his tone casual.

"You're trying to smear me!" Fang Rui rubbed his cheek, asking pointedly, "Are you sure you're not lying?"

"Why would I lie! It's not an important matter, after all, those people's behavior is ridiculous."

D'Artagnan spoke with no hint of guilt, but with an air of self-righteousness.

Chapter 456 Methods to Increase Strength

Fang Rui didn't refute D'Artagnan's assessment; some people in Inazuma were indeed ridiculous.

Having no interest in continuing the discussion, Fang Rui didn't ask Empress Zhidong how she modified the plan; he could guess her thoughts without much thought.

If she intends to inherit the position, she should deal with the current problems of Teyvat. The most pressing issue is the World Tree. After Fang Rui has initially dealt with forbidden knowledge and saved the former Grass God, the hidden dangers of Sumeru have been reduced, but not eradicated.

Within the realm of Sumeru, the gods' commands could not be conveyed to the people. The grass gods, whose presence was too low, lacked a way to establish contact with the people, who were governed by the Religious Council.

However, the problem of the World Tree must be the responsibility of the Grass God, so the Winter Queen's goal is already very clear.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Fang Rui did not linger in the tavern. After saying goodbye to D'Artagnan, Fang Rui and the Sustainer left the tavern and continued to stroll around the market.

Meanwhile, the clone that left Teyvat is navigating the Sea of ​​Quanta, searching for the Tree of Imaginary Numbers...

Perhaps due to Fang Rui's uniqueness, the Imaginary Tree was also paying attention to him, and he successfully established contact with the Imaginary Tree and the Quantum Sea.

Fang Rui had no intention of getting involved in the competition between the two, since even if he wanted to, he didn't have the corresponding strength.

After a brief exchange, Fang Rui successfully gained the right to move freely and the right to trade. As for what he was trading, he naturally paid a price to obtain things from the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Sea of ​​Quanta.

'To be fair, trees and the sea are easier to talk to than Gaia and Alaya.'

Perhaps it's because trees and the sea have a simpler way of thinking.

With that thought in mind, his clone returned to Teyvat and kept a close eye on Fang Rui's tree and sea, thus paying special attention to Teyvat.

The Quantum Sea held Teyvat aloft, preventing the World Bubble from sinking further, while the Imaginary Tree extended a branch to reconnect with the World Bubble.

It's not about bringing Teyvat back into the evaluation, just keeping an eye on it.

Even so, it still filled the Sustainer with horror. She could sense the occurrence of certain things and the return of certain wills.

"Don't worry." Sensing the change in the maintainer's mood, Fang Rui already knew what she was worried about and comforted her.

"Is this related to you?" The maintainer was stunned upon hearing this, then suddenly realized and asked.

“That’s right.” Fang Rui nodded slightly and explained simply, “It won’t be anything bad, there’s no need to worry.”

As he spoke, Fang Rui turned his gaze to the sky. His clone had already arrived at Sky Island, and the relevant information had been transmitted to his main body through magic. Fang Rui gained the ability to link the tree and the sea.

“This is really interesting…” Fang Rui rubbed his cheek. What exactly did Shu and Hai want from giving him so much power?

It is possible to expand one's power in other worlds, but unfortunately it is not that easy. The rules between worlds are different, and even if one could go to other worlds, it would still be very difficult to bring them under the rules of the tree and the sea.

So, it must be information about the rules of other worlds! Used to enhance oneself...

Without giving it much thought, he figured that it wouldn't be so easy for Tree and Sea to travel to other worlds, especially since Tree and Sea had already signed an agreement with him that they couldn't conquer other worlds by force.

To be honest, although the Star Cup gave him a significant boost in strength, his own energy reserves were somewhat low, so he needed to think of ways to increase them.

Reassured by Fang Rui's words, the Sustainer felt a little more at ease and wasn't worried about Tree and Sea for the time being. With her strength, there was no point in worrying; she might as well relax...

The market setup is progressing steadily. Zhongli and the others have prepared their goods and placed them in the shops, seemingly wanting to compete to see who can generate the highest sales.

Fang Rui had no intention of getting involved, so he summoned his clone stationed on Sky Island and asked him to wait there.

As for himself, he temporarily left Teyvat and went to another world to find a way to increase his energy reserves.

Every world has different cultivation methods. For example, Fang Rui currently uses the immortal cultivation system as the main body, supplemented by other energy systems, and has a lot of energy reserves in his body. However, compared to some other situations, there is still a long way to go.

The world Fang Rui is heading to this time is a complex one, with a complex pantheon, but a relatively unified energy system.

Even in a prosperous city, there are some dilapidated areas. The area where Fang Rui is now is a semi-abandoned parish. The reason it is semi-abandoned is that no believers come here to worship, but priests live here.

Unfortunately, he wasn't a proper priest.

With his left foot planted on a perverted priest, Fang Rui flipped through his memories to understand the power structure of the current world. This region was complex, with multiple factions operating within it.

As for the reason, it seems that a high-level God-Slaying Tool has appeared in this area.

On the other hand, the area is located at the intersection of several forces, and the local forces have been suppressed by the forces in other regions, so their presence is very weak.

Currently, the most active forces in this region are fallen angels and demons.

"Kumao Academy..." Fang Rui's lips twitched slightly. How interesting, such a precise landing!

In his plan, the Gauntlets of the God Destroyer - Red Dragon Emperor was one of his targets. The Red Dragon Emperor's ability was amplification, not a single, short-term amplification, but a comprehensive and continuous amplification.

Since it's an amplification, then amplifying energy reserves is also possible, right?

With this in mind, Fang Rui decided to find out about the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlets.

Besides these, several other characters and items are also among his targets, but he currently cannot find their locations.

"Let me think about how to obtain the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlets."

The scorching flames engulfed the perverted priest, burning him to ashes in an instant.

da~

The foot landed, making a loud sound as it collided with the ground in the silent environment.

Fang Rui's gaze fell on the dilapidated church. A perverted priest would naturally have no intention of contemplating the church; its interior was filthy and chaotic, and its exterior was equally dilapidated.

Fang Rui didn't care about this; he didn't consider this place a temporary residence, so of course he didn't care about the environment.

The technique he learned from Liyue is the crafting technique for the Dust Song Pot. Even without the corresponding materials, Fang Rui can create a decent temporary dwelling by combining it with other techniques he has mastered.

Explore the church for a while, choose a suitable location to open a false door, then use the Cave Heaven Technique to open up the interior space, and use other techniques to modify it.

A few minutes later, a suitable temporary residence appeared, giving him a safe and quiet space to think.

The Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlets have now attracted the attention of several forces. After all, every generation of Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlet hosts have caused some trouble, so it's normal for them to send people to keep an eye on them after discovering them.

Whether the people sent out actually had their own agendas is another matter entirely.

Because the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlets frequently change hosts, the unawakened state has a very low degree of integration with the host, so separating them... is not difficult.

The difficulty lies in whether or not the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlets can be stopped from escaping; the safety of the host is not a consideration.

"We can catch the host of the Red Dragon Emperor's gauntlets by lying in wait at Kuoh Academy. As for demons and fallen angels, there's no need to worry about them, after all... they're too weak~"

To put it mildly, Fang Rui already has a plan; it just depends on whether a certain dragon knows what's good for him, otherwise things could get complicated.

The next morning, the entrance to Kuoh Academy was quite lively, with people coming and going.

Fang Rui, who was hiding nearby, found his target, left a mark on him, and then turned and left.

There are many extraordinary items in the area, but most of them already belong to someone and are not worth stealing, so Fang Rui has no interest in wandering around the city.

Neither the demons nor the fallen angels living in the city found any trace of Fang Rui.

Rather, truly powerful demons and fallen angels have their own pursuits and have no interest in playing house here...

The Fallen Angels faction, whose members preach among ordinary people are all Fallen Angels of average strength, usually with two wings, and at most four wings.

As for demons, most are lower-level demons, with mid-level demons being a minority.

As for Rias Gremory and Sona Shide, they were just here to have fun and find some familiars along the way.

"Someone's here?" Back in the dilapidated church, Fang Rui raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

"Another one who provides intelligence."

As he spoke, Fang Rui entered the area of ​​the dilapidated church, and the effect of the barrier was immediately apparent, isolating the inside from the outside.

"One, two, three... There are actually three fallen angels! Not bad~"

A young female fallen angel floats in the air, her scantily clad body barely concealing her sexy figure. Another mature female fallen angel stands beneath a tree, appearing somewhat less attractive than the first.

The remaining one was a middle-aged man who seemed out of place in the group.

“…Grab him.” The black-haired girl’s eyes flashed, as if she had thought of something, and she directly ordered the other two.

From this, we can conclude that this girl's status is higher than the other two.

"That's really direct!" Fang Rui said with some admiration.

To be honest, villains this decisive are rare. Most villains like to spout useless nonsense when they have the upper hand, and then recklessly lose.

An invisible wave swept through the barrier, and the male fallen angel turned into dust and was blown away by the wind, while another female fallen angel was entangled by vines, binding her body.

"While I admire your decisiveness, I must tell you something: decisiveness alone does not guarantee victory. You must also know how to assess the difference in strength between yourself and your enemy."

A beam of light descended from the sky, piercing through the limbs of the remaining fallen angel and pinning him to the ground.
