Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

Even Morax wouldn't stand idly by and watch his people fight against Oser and the Eight Dragons.

Once he's engaged in a fierce battle, I can seize the opportunity to take the Heart of the Geo Archon. Then everything will be accomplished. Even if the Liyue Sage and the Liyue Seven Stars want to capture me, they'll have to deal with Oser and the Eight Dragons first.

That's why D'Artagnan felt this year was the best time; if he left now, it would be the perfect opportunity.

So next year, the newly trained Thousand Rock Army will give Liyue a huge sigh of relief, once those veteran soldiers with combat power are free to fight.

The Fools will face even greater difficulties in carrying out any action they wish to take, and they may even be discovered by the Thousand Rock Army on their way to unseal Osel and the Eight Dragons.

When the time comes, Tartaglia will likely have a headache for a long time when facing the Thousand Rocks Army, who are determined to protect the seal.

"It seems you know something about this." Seeing Tadalia's expression, Arecino knew that the other party probably knew about the whale.

This brought a smile to Arecino's face; coming to Liyue was truly her good fortune.

When D'Artagnan saw Arecino's smile, he scratched his head helplessly and sighed, "Yes, I know about that because I saw it when I was a child."

"For me, it is something I must defeat. That's why I've grown stronger step by step, just to fight it!"

At this point, D'Artagnan revealed a battle-ready smile. In fact, after becoming the Executor of the Fatui, he had entered the Abyss many times in order to find the other party.

But he couldn't find it each time, and then Her Majesty the Queen entrusted him with the task of seizing the Heart of the Rock God.

Tartaglia temporarily put the matter out of his mind and began to focus on obtaining the Heart of the Geo Archon, but he never expected this!

After learning from Arecino that the whale he had seen as a child was in Fontaine, Tadalia, who had previously had no interest in Fontaine, now longed to rush there immediately.

“Childhood?” Arecino raised an eyebrow and looked at Dadtaglia seriously. “Tell me everything you know.”

“That won’t do.” D’Artagnan refused decisively, looking at Arecino with a smile and saying, “I know this information is very important to you.”

"So you have to offer something that will tempt me, or... you promise me one thing, and I will tell you all the information I know."

When Arecino heard Dadtaglia make her request, she narrowed her eyes slightly and a rather cold smile appeared on her lips.

Even when Su Hao, the traveler, and Mona made their requests, Arecino did not show such a cold expression.

Unlike Dadaria, I am the fourth-ranked executive officer of the Fatui, and I am superior to him in both rank and strength.

What right does he have to talk to me about these things?

"What, you want to get something for nothing?" D'Artagnan was not afraid of Arecino either, and he seemed eager to try. "If you want to fight, I don't mind at all."

"Because I've wanted to fight you for a long time. Fighting you might just help me improve my strength!"

Clearly, D'Artagnan knew that Arecino wouldn't agree easily, and he was prepared for battle.

This scene made the atmosphere on set a bit tense.

The Fools following Tartaglia, as well as the two Lightning Flame Sorcerers following Arecino, showed drastic changes in expression; they clearly hadn't expected this.

One second the atmosphere was so harmonious, the next second it was tense and hostile.

If the enemy were someone else, both Tartaglia and Arecino's men would immediately draw their weapons and prepare for the upcoming battle.

But both of them are executives, which puts them in a difficult position!

"Speak, what are your demands?" In the end, Arecino chose to give in, but she also made a request: "However, after this incident, you must obey my orders when you go to Fontaine. Of course, I will let you fight that whale, provided that you sign a waiver of life and death beforehand."

“If you die at its hands, it will worsen Her Majesty’s impression of me, and I don’t want that to happen.”

Upon hearing this, D'Artagnan looked at Arecino with some surprise, not expecting that she would actually ask him to get involved in Fontaine's affairs.

This is truly rare... You know, Arecino is extremely kind to Fontaine, after all, she's from Fontaine, and D'Artagnan can understand that.

Furthermore, Her Majesty the Queen has entrusted Fontaine to Arecino's management. As long as Arecino obtains the Heart of the Water God and hands it over, then whatever she does in Fontaine, the other Fatui Executors will have no right to say anything.

Originally, D'Artagnan intended to use intelligence to indirectly blackmail Arecino into agreeing to his involvement in the Fontaine incident.

However, since she had already said that, D'Artagnan naturally didn't need to make that request himself.

Soon, D'Artagnan came up with a request. He looked at Arecino and said, "It's simple. You go and break the seal on the Eight Dragons, so that it can reappear in the world and attack Liyue Harbor."

"This request is almost effortless for you."

Yes, to unseal the Eight Dragons—this was a brilliant request from D'Artagnan.

Originally, D'Artagnan only intended to unseal the Vortex Demon God Oser, because according to the information he had obtained, there were only two who could cause the Rock King Emperor a tough battle.

One of them was the Naga King Ratna, who had once been a comrade-in-arms with Morax.

Another one is Oser, the Vortex Demon God, who fought a great battle with Morax during the Demon God War and was eventually sealed away.

Now, from Mr. Zhongli, Dadalia learned about another sea beast, Baqiu, which possessed the power of a demon god.

The Dragon King Ruoduo was nowhere to be found. He had even been to the Abyss of Layered Rocks, but he couldn't locate him at all, so he had no choice but to give up.

We already know the locations of the Vortex Demon God Oser and the sea monster Baqiu. All we need to do is find a way to unseal them to complete the plan.

“Eight Dragons?” Arecino looked puzzled upon hearing the name. She pressed for details, “Who is that? Is he also a demon god?”

“No…” Dadalia began to talk about the Eight Dragons, emphasizing that the information was reliable and was provided by Mr. Zhongli, a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth.

Upon hearing the name Zhongli, Arecino remained silent for a moment before finally nodding in agreement to help Tartaglia release him.

This brought a bright smile to D'Artagnan's face again; this couldn't be better!

“Then… let me tell you about how I fell into the abyss when I was a child.” D’Artagnan, seeing that Arecino had agreed, began to recount her childhood.

Chapter 409 Mondstadt Mission

On the continent of Teyvat, everyone has their own busy life.

But for Su Hao, these days were very relaxing, because he wasn't accompanying Ying, Paimon, and Mona on their adventures.

It's about spending time with others in Liyue Harbor, drinking tea, listening to music, and listening to stories—it's all quite spontaneous.

Another thing is to go with Shen He and Ella to visit the various immortals, such as the last time we visited True Lord Liu Yun Jie Feng, whose strength has increased again after the last fusion.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun was very hospitable. Upon seeing Su Hao, she immediately took out her improved version of the mechanical cooking machine, allowing Su Hao to enjoy a unique delicacy.

You know what, the Cloud-Borrowing Wind True Lord is quite adept at creating cutting-edge technology.

This automatic cooking mechanism was a real treat for Su Hao, and he immediately praised the Cloud-Borrowing Wind True Monarch for his skill.

But Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun said that this was just child's play. The real challenge was the Ruo Tuo machine that she and Gui Zhong created together in Gu Yun Pavilion.

Upon hearing this, Su Hao smiled and said he would look forward to it.

A month has passed, and the Summoning Ceremony is just four or five days away. The annual festival in Liyue Harbor naturally attracts many tourists.

In addition, the situation in Liyue this year is special, making the Summoning Ceremony much more lively than in previous years.

People on the streets were talking about how the Emperor would view Liyue this year, how well the Seven Stars were doing, and how many people were invited to the Immortal Ceremony this year compared to last year.

A series of topics illustrate just how lively this year's invocation ceremony for immortals was.

Today, the chat group was also unusually lively.

According to a tip from an insider, the Mondstadt team will arrive in Liyue today, Inazuma's team will arrive in Liyue Harbor tomorrow, and the Sumeru team will arrive the day after tomorrow.

And there's something quite interesting: the newly appointed Great Sage of Sumi is an old acquaintance of Su Hao and the others.

That was the highly respected senior of the Order of the Church—Falushan.

To be honest, Su Hao and the others in the group were not surprised that she became a Grand Sage of the Order of the Teachings.

The reason is simple: Farusan is a legendary figure in the Faculty of Sciences, and her knowledge and seniority are among the highest in the Faculty.

In addition, he is a key figure in rescuing the Little Lucky Grass King, disrupting the god-making plan, and putting pressure on the former Great Sage Azar.

Farusan said it was troublesome and she didn't want it; she just wanted to be a scholar in peace and didn't even want to be a sage.

However, Farusan was not as determined as Elhesen, and she was well aware of the current state of the Order of the Church.

If the Church does not have a great sage, it means that the Church is in a very fragmented state.

Moreover, the Order Academy is divided into six major factions, each with its own voice. Even though they now need to work together to overcome the difficulties, the Academy is still facing a crisis.

But scholars all consider themselves intelligent, so they always have their own opinions.

In the past, when there were great sages and other wise men, scholars did not need to worry about so many miscellaneous things.

But isn't the position of Great Sage currently vacant? This has given some ill-intentioned scholars the opportunity to scheme and try to seize it.

Of course, those people will never become great sages, but their actions will indirectly disrupt Little Lucky Grass King's next series of plans.

To avoid this situation, and after being persuaded by so many scholars of the Order of the Church, and recommended by two other sages.

In the end, Farusan softened and could only agree to become the Great Sage. At the same time, she replaced the deceased Kavaja and became the Epistemological Sage.

With a single nod, Farusan became a figure of great importance in Sumeru, second only to the Little Auspicious Grass King.

She then traveled to Liyue on behalf of the High Priestess of the Order of the Church, intending to discuss some [trade] with Ningguang of Tianquan.

The reason is simple: Sumeru is short of a large amount of Mora, which has dragged on for a whole month, and the Church Council's funds are starting to run out again.

If left unchecked, the Order of the Church will likely face a deficit crisis again in six months. As the new Great Sage, Farusan needs to address this issue as soon as possible.

Therefore, Falussan led a team of scholars from the Order of the Church to Liyue to negotiate with Ningguang.

But that's all in the future, and has nothing to do with Su Hao and his group now.

Su Hao and his group are now facing a test from Master Hu of the Hall of Rebirth.

"Hey hey hey!!!! The food's served!!!! My latest dish!" Hu Tao's energetic voice rang out as she rushed into Su Hao's house carrying a plate of dishes that looked absolutely delicious.

At this moment, Su Hao and his group had just finished eating. When they saw Hu Tao rushing in, their expressions varied.

Some were terrified, some were calm, and some were already prepared to persuade Master Hu.

Looking at the beautifully presented dishes in Hu Tao's hands, Paimon couldn't help but ask, "Have you eaten yet?!"

Paimon, who once trusted Hu Tao's cooking skills the most, was actually tricked badly by the "A Bite of Liyue" event.

Paimon was full of anticipation, but in the end, after eating Walnut's dish, he simply fell asleep and didn't get to eat any of the dishes.

This infuriated Paimon, but she couldn't say anything because it was her own decision.

Everyone in the group had advised her against it, and she admitted that she had only eaten the food because she thought the walnuts looked good.

"I've already eaten it." Hu Tao patted her non-existent chest, and said proudly, "It tastes pretty good! I even had someone test it out, and apparently it's edible!"

"A person?" Paimon looked doubtful.

While clearing away the dishes, Ying asked in confusion, "Wasn't it given to the ghost?"
