D'Artagnan shrugged, seemingly somewhat helpless, but then chuckled as if he had thought of something. "Actually, if you hadn't come to me..."

“I will also come to find you, because I just heard that you returned to Liyue Harbor, so I rushed back to the Northern Bank and came to find you.”

"I just didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that you came to find me too. Perhaps this is what they call fate?"

Although D'Artagnan himself knew that this was not fate, but simply a matter of mutual needs, which led to their meeting.

"Yes and no?" Coral Palace Heart Sea spoke up, looking at D'Artagnan and asking, "So, this matter is related to you Fools?"

"But this final result is not what you wanted?"

D'Artagnan nodded. Ever since he had exchanged information with Su Hao in the form of a deal, he had suffered a loss in silence.

So even now, with the upper hand, D'Artagnan doesn't mind revealing some information.

As Mr. Zhongli said, if you treat others sincerely, they will treat you sincerely in return.

The more you scheme against others, the more they will scheme against you. So it's better to treat people sincerely and let them feel your sincerity. You might get unexpected rewards that way.

Furthermore, D'Artagnan knew that Su Hao had defeated the skirmishers head-on six months ago, so his strength was undoubtedly unfathomable. If he were to fight him with all his might...

Perhaps we can achieve a more respectable defeat.

Given the difference in strength and the fact that he still needed Su Hao's help, he decided to reveal all the information that wasn't particularly important.

“Strictly speaking, we wanted to capture her and bring her to Zhidong for trial.”

D'Artagnan took a sip of tea and continued, "You all know who she is, and as for her deeds... all you need to know is that she is an executive officer candidate, barring any unforeseen circumstances."

"She was supposed to be the next Executor of the Fools, but she ended up committing the crime of murdering a colleague and is now wanted by us."

"She fled to the abyss and temporarily escaped disaster, but we have never given up on tracking her."

"About four months ago, the Lady of the Abyss discovered her trail."

Su Hao frowned slightly. Why was it a woman again? This persistent woman, why was she always jumping around?

And isn't Black Ella near the eleventh level of the Abyss? That's a place even the gods dare not easily approach.

How did the woman discover Black Ella's whereabouts?

Could it be that she's too weak and has been ignored by the Abyss?

Or perhaps the doctor created some gadget that allowed her to move freely within the abyss for the time being?

Hisaki Shinobu and Sango Miyako Kokoro's expressions also changed slightly, because everyone in the group knew about Black Ella's information.

Possessing the power of the abyss, she should theoretically be able to move freely within the abyss and be a very safe being.

So she was ambushed by the Fatui inside the Abyss? Does that mean... the Fatui also possess the technology to walk inside the Abyss?

"What will you do after you discover the traitor?" Dadalia continued, "I believe you know that the next step is to encircle and annihilate him."

"Upon hearing this information, the three executives in the winter were so afraid that the lady would be killed by her that they immediately set out."

"What followed was a great battle. Although I didn't get to the scene, the final result of that battle was that she was forced to leave the abyss and then disappeared without a trace."

"According to our investigation, she deliberately used the Abyss Order's teleportation function to come to Liyue."

At this point, D'Artagnan fell silent, looking at Su Hao with a smile.

Su Hao frowned slightly and looked at D'Artagnan, saying, "Impossible. If she were in Liyue, then Ayla would be able to sense her presence."

There is an unseen thread connecting Ella and Black Ella, and even now they can sense each other's presence.

If Black Ella is indeed in Liyue, then Ella should be able to pinpoint her location immediately and even sense her situation.

Back then, before Black Ella had even entered the abyss, during the winter, Black Ella remotely invaded Ella's mental space and almost completed a long-distance fusion.

Now that Ella's strength has reached the level of a celestial being, she also possesses the incomplete power of a demon god and can do the same things.

Even after arriving in Liyue, Ayla's perception of Black Ayla remained as vague as before; she only knew that the other was still alive.

And then that was it, just like in Inazuma's case.

“Yes.” D'Artagnan did not deny it, and he continued, “But there are many wonderful places in Liyue.”

"To be honest, I can roughly guess where she went, and according to the doctor's investigation, she most likely went to [there]."

D'Artagnan has started to act as a riddle teller because the information he's about to receive involves classified information, and if there's really no benefit to be gained, he might as well just say it directly.

That Daddariya was truly an idiot.

Unbeknownst to Dadalia, after he revealed so much information, Su Hao, who had always been a plot-driven person in his previous life, fell into a brief period of contemplation.

His mind began to work, pondering what place within Liyue could accomplish all of this.

Finally, Su Hao seemed to have thought of a possibility, and looking at Dadalia, he asked, "The Abyss of Laminaria?"

D'Artagnan's smile vanished instantly, his eyes widening as he stared at Su Hao in disbelief.

Seeing Tadalia's expression, Su Hao knew he had guessed correctly.

The smile on D'Artagnan's face didn't completely disappear; it simply shifted to Su Hao's face.

"This this……"

Dadalia felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, because he genuinely hadn't expected Su Hao to think so quickly.

To think you guessed it in an instant! But isn't the secret of the Abyss of Layered Rocks little known?!

When Su Hao left Inazuma, the Lava Abyss in Liyue had already been sealed off, so he shouldn't have known about it.

D'Artagnan intended to leak a lot of meaningless information while keeping the core information hidden.

Unexpectedly, the information revealed led Su Hao to guess that the other party was inside the Layered Rock Abyss.

Hisaki Shinobu and Sango Miyako Shinkai also had strange expressions. Judging from Tadalia's expression, Su Hao had obviously guessed correctly.

But how did he guess it? Although Hisahi Shinobu was somewhat used to Su Hao's ability to predict the future.

However, Coral Palace Xin Hai found it quite novel; it felt very good to be able to guess what others were saying in half a sentence.

"It seems I wasn't wrong." Su Hao said with a smile, "After all, in Liyue, the only one that can do this is probably the Lapis Lazuli."

"But to be honest, how are you so sure that Black Aila came to Liyue via the Abyss teleportation?"

Seeing that Su Hao already knew that Black Ella was in the Abyss of Laminaria, D'Artagnan shook his head and smiled wryly, explaining, "Because the Doctor is very interested in the Abyss Order's teleportation method."

"After a period of research, although he could not pinpoint the exact location of the Abyss Order's teleportation point, he could at least know its approximate location."

"The approximate location we've pinpointed is near the Layered Rock Abyss region, where there's a seal set up by the Seven Stars."

"If she tries to force her way out, the seal will be broken, and the commotion will be huge. Our elite Fools are over there."

"There are even elite troops of the Thousand Rock Army. Without knowing who is friend or foe, the two sides will inevitably join forces to deal with her, and they can hold out until I arrive."

At this point, D'Artagnan sighed helplessly and continued, "Of course, that was the plan two months ago. Now the plan is... to wait."

"Waiting?" Kuki Shinobu looked at Dadalia with some surprise. After learning that Black Ella was in the Abyss of Laminaria, the other party did not go to capture her immediately.

Instead, they chose to wait? Could it be that there's something else inside that's frightening?

Kuki Shinobu and Sango Miyako no Kokoro did not believe that the so-called Seven Star Seal could keep Tartaglia, the executor of the Fools, waiting for months.

Even if he knew in advance that Su Hao might come, he shouldn't have stayed still in place; he should have rushed directly into the Abyss of Layered Rocks.

Hisaki Shinobu and Sango no Kokoro both knew just how insane the Fools were.

“She’s probably trapped. We can’t force our way into the Abyss of Laminaria.”

Seeing that Kyūki was puzzled, D'Artagnan explained again, "On one hand, we are allies with Liyue, and on the other hand, there's something inside the Lava Abyss..."

At this point, D'Artagnan fell silent again, a hint of expectation in his eyes as he looked at Su Hao.

At this moment, D'Artagnan sincerely hoped that Su Hao was unaware of the information regarding the interior of the Layered Rock Abyss. If the other party was unaware, then there was still a possibility of cooperation!

In response to Tartaglia's expectations, Su Hao said calmly, "Within the Abyss of Layered Rocks, there are traces of the Abyss Order's activities, and there is a deadly black substance inside."

"That thing is a [forbidden] left over from five hundred years ago. The Fools' purpose in sending troops to reinforce the Layered Rock Abyss was probably not pure."

"Of course, I'm saying the purpose wasn't pure; those foolish soldiers are still innocent."

Having completed the quest in the Abyss of the Rocks, Su Hao was well aware that the Fools had gathered a great deal of information there.

This is why Tartaglia did not rashly enter the Abyss of Laminaria, having entered the abyss before.

Naturally, he knew what the pitch-black silt within the Layered Rock Abyss represented, and that it also contained elites of the Abyss Order, with even more forbidden elements hidden deeper within.

Not to mention, the Dragon King Ruoduo is suspected to be sealed deep within the Abyss of Layered Rocks.

For various reasons, Tartaglia did not venture into the Abyss of Laminaria rashly, and could only wait for a good opportunity.

Seeing that Su Hao had learned so much information about the Abyss of Layered Rocks, D'Artagnan's expectant gaze vanished instantly, replaced by deep helplessness.

"What were your initial requests?" Su Hao asked Dadalia, taking the initiative to inquire what requests she intended to make.

Getting something for nothing is not advisable. If Su Hao just leaves this time, he will likely run into trouble next time he wants the information he needs from D'Artagnan.

Don't sacrifice future cooperation for short-term gains.

"Actually, I just want you to take me into the Abyss of Layered Rocks."

A glimmer of hope flashed in D'Artagnan's eyes, and he quickly said, "After all, my identity is very awkward, and it's basically impossible for me to enter the Abyss of Laminaria."

"If you recommend me, then I can enter the Abyss of Layered Rocks."

"So! Please!!!! Promise me this condition! I won't fight you! And I won't care about your maid! Just take me into the Abyss of Lapis Lazuli."

D'Artagnan clasped his hands together, implying to Su Hao that he was entrusting him with the task, as entering the Abyss of Layered Rocks was his objective.

He couldn't beat Black Ella either. Although she was a candidate for the Fatui Enforcer, you could tell from her status as a candidate that she was extremely strong.

Furthermore, the opponent possesses the power of the abyss and the incomplete authority of a demon god. In a head-on confrontation, Tartaglia is not confident of defeating the opponent.

He might even fall victim to his own scheme and be killed by the other party.

This is why, after discovering Black Ella, the woman did not choose to confront her, but instead called for reinforcements.

Upon hearing this, a hint of wariness flashed in the eyes of Hisuki Shinobu and Sango Miyako Kokoro. Was this Tadalia's purpose?

This is not a good thing. If Su Hao agrees, and Dadalia successfully enters the Abyss of Laminaria, what if he causes trouble inside?

Wouldn't that mean Su Hao would bear full responsibility? You have to understand that the Fools are all lunatics; nothing they do would surprise anyone.

"can."

Su Hao agreed, which surprised Jiuqi Ren and Shanhu Gong Xin Hai.
