As for the evolution device, the Doctor sent it to D'Artagnan in advance, not because he trusted D'Artagnan so much, but because he thought D'Artagnan was involved in this kind of thing.
It is highly likely to produce some unexpected surprises, and this evolution device itself is a defective product, failing nine times out of ten.
The final success, however, could very well lead to the evolution of something unknown.
The only time it succeeded was because it could have evolved naturally, but due to its own interference, it not only forced the evolution but also greatly reduced its lifespan and potential.
Therefore, the Doctor ignored this thing and went to study other things instead. When he saw that D'Artagnan wanted this, he simply gave it to him.
By the way, it takes about seven or eight days from the beginning of winter to Liyue, which is enough time for Tartaglia to arrange a meeting with her.
The Doctor wasn't worried at all, nor was Tartaglia, because although Su Hao spent most of his time outside Liyue Harbor, he would still find time to come back.
Putting everything else aside, the other party's house is right next to the temple. It's a new house he just bought. According to the custom of the Inatsume people, once they have a new house, no matter how busy they are, they will definitely make time to come back.
All we need to do is send someone to keep an eye on the Hall of Rebirth. Next, we need to invite Mr. Zhongli to dinner and ask him who else, besides the Dragon King Ruoduo, has been sealed by Morax in Liyue.
With the death of the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard, he lost all contact with the Ruo Tuo Dragon King. Although he had asked the doctor for a biological evolution machine, the chances of evolution were too slim.
He wasn't particularly confident in the doctor's machine, so he kept his eyes on Mr. Zhongli.
The night is still long.
The news of the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard's death was quickly relayed to the Jade Pavilion by the Thousand Rock Army.
At this moment, in the Jade Pavilion, Ke Qing and Ning Guang were discussing various matters concerning the Immortal Invitation Ceremony that would take place in a few days.
"Oh? Has it been resolved?"
Upon receiving the news, Ningguang smiled and looked at the communications soldier who had climbed onto the Qunyu Pavilion. She continued, "Have you retrieved the corpse of the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard over there?"
“Yes, Lady Ningguang.” The communications officer nodded and answered very seriously, “We have retrieved the corpse of the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard. When we arrived at the scene, the two immortals and a boy dressed in clothes that looked very much like Inazuma left together.”
"They didn't seem to intend to take the ancient rock dragon carcass, so we sealed off the site and became alert for the possible appearance of juvenile rock dragons and rock dragons in the surrounding area."
"Strangely, neither the baby rock dragon nor the rock dragon appeared, and the surrounding monsters seemed afraid to come closer."
The communications soldier recounted everything that had happened, and she was clearly very surprised.
Because the immortals or the soldiers of the Thousand Rock Army had indeed hunted down rare and powerful monsters like the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard before.
If they had stayed quietly in the mountains, there would have been no problem. But the problem is... they suddenly went berserk, rushed out of the mountains, and started attacking humans.
The immortals and the soldiers of the Thousand Rock Army naturally wouldn't ignore it, and thus began to surround and kill them.
After each siege, monsters would appear around them, following the enemy and attacking them like madmen.
Therefore, after discovering that two immortals and one rice-woman had dealt with the ancient rock dragon lizard, the Thousand Rock Army naturally protected the scene immediately, while also being vigilant for the appearance of baby rock dragon lizards and rock dragon lizards.
However, neither the baby rock dragon nor the rock dragon appeared; the surroundings were too quiet, strangely so.
So the communications officer relayed this information to Ningguang and Keqing, to see how Yuheng and Tianquan viewed the matter.
"That's it, I know."
A strange light flashed in Ningguang's eyes. She looked at the communications soldier and gave the order: "It's nothing. Retrieve the corpse of the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard. Since the immortals didn't give any instructions, it means we can ignore everything."
"Yes, sir." Upon receiving the order, the communications soldier immediately chose to leave.
After she left, Keqing looked at Ningguang and sighed, "The immortals are really quick. They killed the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard without warning."
Since fighting alongside Su Hao, Shen He, and Gan Yu yesterday, Ke Qing has realized that the power of the immortals is indeed terrifying.
The other party was secretly carrying out a protective operation for Liyue. Although Keqing had seen it in the records, her eyes were always focused on Liyue Harbor, and she did not see the danger outside.
Yesterday, after acting with the three of them, Ke Qing was secretly alarmed. It turned out that the immortals were secretly working behind the scenes.
Putting aside everything else, yesterday's group of Hilichurls, Hilichurl Rockhelm, and three Abyss Mages would have resulted in casualties even if at least one Thousand Rock Army had gone to surround and annihilate them.
Even if Keqing leads the team herself, she probably won't fare well, because that number of Hilichurls is equivalent to an army, plus the Abyss Mage and the Hilichurl King.
As a result, they encountered immortal disciples and the retinue of the Thunder God, as well as the Seven Stars Secretary and the contemporary Seven Stars.
In a sense, it was really too tragic, and that night, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun said that he would kill the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard.
The ancient rock dragon lizard died the very next night. The efficiency was incredibly fast. And what exactly did the immortals use to lure out the ancient rock dragon lizard?
Qing was very curious about this moment. Although she knew that the immortals had immortal arts and many secret techniques, she still couldn't guess what the immortals would use to lure out the ancient rock dragon lizard.
"Are you still sticking to your beliefs?" Ningguang looked at Keqing and said with a smile, "You should know that what you say during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony will likely be considered extremely disrespectful."
"Of course." Ke Qing didn't hesitate at all. Although she had learned some of the things that the Emperor had experienced back then by cooperating with the immortals these past few days.
But she remained steadfast in her heart, for she was Ke Qing, the Ke Qing of the Jade Balance Star.
Therefore, she was very clear about the path she was on, and for this step, she devoted herself more wholeheartedly to organizing the invocation ceremony than any of the Seven Stars.
She also experienced the lives of ordinary people multiple times in order to tell the Rock King Emperor the most authentic truth.
"The era of immortals is over." Ke Qing gazed outside, her tone resolute. "Next comes the era of human rule. I will tell the Emperor that we are no longer children and do not need his protection."
"The immortals are indeed working very hard. They protect Liyue both secretly and openly, but they deserve a good rest."
"They have sacrificed enough to protect Liyue for a thousand years. It is time for us to take on the responsibility."
Keqing was very serious. Even though she knew the power of the gods and the strength of the immortals, she still dared to say these words because she believed in the potential of humanity.
Because she is a person, she is confident that if everyone were like her, Liyue would become more prosperous and beautiful.
"..." Ningguang just smiled and didn't say anything more, because no one understood the importance of the Emperor and the Immortal better than her.
Keqing is still a bit too naive, but Liyue really needs someone as naive as her.
"However," Ke Qing seemed to have thought of something at this moment, and looked at Ning Guang, asking, "What do you think of Su Haoren?"
The communications soldier said that there was a person dressed in Inazuma clothing beside the two immortals, which was undoubtedly Su Hao.
After all, only Su Hao, a member of Thor's family, is qualified to participate in battles at the level of the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard.
"Oh? Him?" Ningguang pictured Su Hao in her mind and looked at Keqing with interest, asking, "Why did you suddenly bring him up? He's a member of the Thunder God's familiar. Don't even think about bringing him to Liyue."
"If Inazuma's Thunder General comes then, things might get complicated, and even the Emperor might not be able to speak up for you."
Ningguang was naturally quite interested in Su Hao.
Of course, this attraction isn't about lusting after the other person's body or looks, but rather their competence and ability.
Ningguang had learned about what Su Hao had done in the past few days through various intelligence sources, and she was quite surprised. She hadn't expected this member of the Thunder God's family to be so unexpected.
It's quite absurd that this guy has caused so much trouble in just a few days in Liyue. Does he have some kind of special constitution?
All sorts of troubles come knocking on your door, but that's actually a good thing. Trouble accumulates, so it's best to resolve it as soon as possible.
Ningguang would probably be very happy if such a person worked under her.
Unfortunately, the opponent was a familiar of the Thunder God, while in Liyue, they would be beings on par with immortals.
Even if it were the Seven Stars of Liyue, Ningguang would never allow the immortals to work under her command, would she? That would be an utterly rebellious act.
"What are you thinking about?" Ke Qing looked at Ning Guang, looking somewhat puzzled. She said seriously, "I'm not thinking about having him work with me, although I had considered it before."
"But considering that he is a member of Thor's familiar, I don't think that way anymore, except... he is human."
"Do you understand what I mean? As a member of the Thunder God's Familia, he was able to leave Inazuma, who was under a lockdown, and come to Liyue to witness everything."
"Similarly, I also hope that the Emperor can give us some freedom so that we humans can create things with our own hands."
As she said this, Ke Qing clenched her fists, her eyes filled with determination. This was what she planned to say to the Emperor at the Immortal Invitation Ceremony.
Matters concerning the fate of humanity should be done by humanity, and humanity can certainly do them better.
But some things, the less people talk about them, the more they need to be done.
The current prosperity of Liyue Harbor is like a magnificent sandcastle on the beach.
It is not human beings themselves who determine whether the tide rises or falls.
Keqing shared these views with others many times, but she was never able to gain the support of the majority.
Because, in the eyes of outsiders, a mortal's life is but a fleeting moment in the history of Liyue, so why worry unnecessarily?
Besides, isn't the Emperor still alive? Why worry about so much? This is what most people are thinking.
Ningguang looked at Keqing like this and didn't say anything, she just smiled slightly, because this was a good thing.
The more Ke Qing opposes the Emperor, the harder she works. This will make things much easier for her, and the Emperor will also have a little more free time.
Ningguang is considered one of the Seven Stars at the highest point of power. She is well aware that Liyue is currently well protected by the Emperor. What if one day the Emperor suddenly passes away?
Those who inherit Keqing's will will become the cornerstone of Liyue.
For now, Ningguang just wants to focus on her business and fulfill her duties as Tianquan.
A mortal's life is always short. It would probably take thousands of years for him and his descendants to outlive the emperor.
Ningguang had not considered the possibility that the Emperor might suddenly pass away, so she calmly drank her tea, listened to Keqing's rambling, and occasionally expressed her own opinions.
After discussing the invocation ceremony and the matter of "human rule in Liyue," Ningguang got down to business.
Ningguang took a sip of tea and ate a dessert. Then she looked at Keqing and said calmly, "The two Abyss Mages you captured have revealed some information."
"It was Su Hao who captured him alive." Ke Qing wouldn't steal Su Hao's credit, because she knew very well that if it hadn't been for Su Hao at the time...
They had no chance of capturing the Abyss Mage alive, since the enemy inside the portal clearly wanted to eliminate both Abyss Mages.
In that situation, no one present reacted except Su Hao, who seemed to know there was a mastermind behind it all.
This impressed Ke Qing greatly; it was clearly the result of extensive experience gained from countless battles.
“Yes, I will remember this contribution.” Ningguang nodded, and looked at Keqing calmly, saying, “According to the information revealed by the Abyss Mage, they are carrying out a conspiracy.”
"A conspiracy that could overthrow Liyue. They are conducting experiments in various ruins and searching for the demon god that was sealed away by the Emperor."
"However, it seems more like an open scheme than a conspiracy, because the Abyss Mages don't care at all about the information they reveal. They seem to be telling us these things so that we can investigate the truth."
"Even under severe torture, they wouldn't change their story. They said they were searching for the demon god that the Emperor had sealed away back then, but they wouldn't say what kind of demon god it was."
At this point, Ningguang's expression became somewhat solemn, as did Keqing's.
As members of the Seven Stars, they naturally knew how many demon gods had been sealed away by the Emperor on the land of Liyue. Some were either dead or sealed away until their deaths and could not escape.
If a demon god were to be released by the Abyss Order, the situation would be dire.
"Then why are they looking for the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard?" At this moment, Ke Qing was a little puzzled. The Abyss Order was clearly looking for the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard.
