When did he kill Morax?

No way!!! Why did Morax die?!

How did he die?! D'Artagnan was shocked and confused.

Chapter 442 D'Artagnan: "I'm a genius!"

"Me? I killed Morax?"

D'Artagnan's expression was rather strange. He had no idea what his subordinates were saying, but as an executive officer of the Fatui, he was still very composed.

Even with his strength, he was still stunned upon hearing this news. If he had such ability, why would he need to operate in such a clandestine manner?!

"Yes, isn't that right?"

At this moment, D'Artagnan's direct subordinates were somewhat puzzled as to why their young master looked so confused.

Didn't he kill Morax? Why are you still so confused?

“Sigh…” D'Artagnan sighed. He forced himself to calm down and looked at his subordinates, saying, “I did not kill Morax. The plan has not yet begun. Hand over these forged Unbound Talismans to me first, and then start the investigation immediately.”

"Tonight, no!!! I need to know everything about Morax's death in Liyue Harbor within three hours!"

D'Artagnan's mind was in turmoil, so he sent his men to gather intelligence.

"?!"

"Yes!!!"

"What?! Could it be that it was the servant who killed Morax?"

Dadalia's men couldn't help but murmur amongst themselves, but they also sprang into action immediately.

The young master gave the order, and they naturally complied immediately, so they handed over the forged "Talisman of No Taboos" to D'Artagnan.

They then hurriedly headed towards Liyue Harbor, having essentially walked into a trap, as most of the Fatui were being watched by the Thousand Rock Army.

However, gathering intelligence required returning to Liyue Harbor, so the Fatui had no choice but to return to Liyue Harbor first and then pass on the young master's orders. At that time, the personnel specifically responsible for gathering intelligence would naturally take action.

"you."

At this moment, Tartaglia pointed at a Electro Wizard and asked, "Tell me, what happened in Liyue Harbor? How did the Geo Archon die?"

"Me?" The lightning mage was quite surprised, then she said excitedly, "Yes, young master, I will tell you all the information."

Then, the lightning mage recounted everything that had happened in Liyue Harbor.

Actually, she didn't know what had happened inside Liyue Harbor, because she was still outside Liyue Harbor before the incident.

This information was relayed to them by their compatriots in Liyue Harbor. The gist of it is... during the Ascension Ceremony, the Geo Archon died, and the young master's plan succeeded! The next step should be the retreat plan!

Yes, today, D'Artagnan revealed a small part of his plans to his confidants.

For example, during the ritual of inviting the immortals, I will do something important, but I will not let them know what that important thing is for the time being.

What is certain is that, in order to prevent any unexpected events, all Fatui members in Liyue need to be prepared for immediate combat.

Besides being prepared for battle, it was also important to be ready for the evacuation of non-combat personnel. At first, no one knew what was going on.

It wasn't until... during the ritual to summon the immortals, when the news of the Rock King's death was announced, that the Fools realized why they needed to be prepared for battle and have a retreat plan.

"…………"

After hearing everything, D'Artagnan's expression was quite subtle, as if he didn't know what to say.

It was at this moment that he understood why Keqing had left with the team; this was the reason.

"Young Master, is this part of the plan?" the Thunderfire Sorcerer asked cautiously, though she now knew the answer herself.

Young Master probably didn't have such a plan; we were just overthinking it.

"I don't know. I'll go ask that servant first if she's the one behind it." D'Artagnan didn't dare to speak too definitively, so he decided to go find Arecino first.

Then the Lightning Sorcerer looked at Tartaglia with pleading eyes, as if to say, "My lord, what am I to do?"

Should I stay with you, or return to Liyue Harbor?

"You should go back first." D'Artagnan naturally wouldn't choose to take this lightning mage with him, as the other party would be a burden. After collecting a large number of pseudo-unrestricted talismans, he headed towards Arecino's direction.

With his plan ruined, D'Artagnan had to regroup with Arecino first, as he wanted to know whether it was Arecino who had killed the Rock King.

Given Arecino's strength, Tartaglia felt it was unlikely, especially since Arecino had promised not to interfere in Liyue's affairs.

Judging from her attitude, she looked completely unwilling to interfere.

It's unlikely she did it, but if she didn't, then who did it?

Regardless of who did it, after talking to Arecino, I must hurry back to Liyue Harbor to meet with the Liyue Seven Stars.

The Fools won't take the blame for this yet! He hadn't even done anything yet! And the Rock King Emperor died! What kind of mess is this?!

D'Artaglia headed towards Arecino and soon met her. Beside her were still the lady's attendants, the two twin lightning spellcasters.

"You're here."

Arecino looked at Tartaglia upon her arrival without any surprise. She even smiled and said, "I didn't expect your plan to go so smoothly, successfully taking down the Rock King."

The twin lightning sorcerers standing nearby looked at Tartaglia with a sense of admiration in their eyes.

That's incredible! Young Master actually killed the Rock King Emperor. That's an unimaginable achievement.

"Are you making fun of me too?" D'Artagnan looked somewhat speechless. He looked at Arecino and said irritably, "You know whether I have the strength to kill the Rock King."

"Did you do this? Did you do it?"

Arecino shook her head and said calmly, "Even if you gave me ten lives, I wouldn't dare to fight the Rock King Emperor. Not to mention me, even if all the Executors of the Fools were tied together, they wouldn't dare to kill the Rock King Emperor at this critical juncture."

"The Immortal Summoning Ceremony will not only have the Rock King Emperor present, but also Su Hao and a group of powerful figures from Liyue. Although many immortals are not here, once the battle begins..."

Arecino didn't continue, because everyone knew that once the battle started, it wouldn't be a one-on-one fight anymore.

The Fatui were not at any advantage to begin with. Even if Arecino and Tartaglia were confident in their ability to fight against the Liyue Asgardians, would Su Hao and the Rock Lord just stand by and watch?

Therefore, the Tartaglia plan is still feasible: summon two demon gods that were once sealed by Morax to attract the high-end combat power of Liyue, and then take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the Geo Archon.

Once you get the Heart of God, leave decisively and without hesitation!

This plan is excellent, but unfortunately... the person who devised it is none other than the Rock King Emperor himself, which makes things very difficult.

"Who is that?"

Tartaglia frowned. He felt that the situation in Liyue was becoming somewhat incomprehensible. Besides their Winter, who else had a grudge against Morax?

And who exactly possesses such power that they can kill Morax silently?

“I don’t know, but for us, it’s both good and not particularly good.” Arecino looked at D’Artagnan and said calmly, “We’re not completely innocent yet.”

"But at least for now, the people in Liyue Harbor won't be investigating us, compared to the murderer of the Geo Archon..."

At this point, Arecino paused deliberately, glancing at D'Artagnan as if hinting at something.

Tartaglia wasn't a fool. His gaze sharpened slightly, and he said earnestly, "Lord Rock King, the Heart of God is what we should value."

"In that case, all plans can be put on hold for now. Finding the body of the Rock King Emperor is the most important thing."

Tartaglia had a clear goal; he knew exactly what he needed: the Heart of the Rock God. He didn't need anything else.

If you obtain the Heart of the Geo Archon, then the subsequent series of actions will not need to occur.

Therefore, while the probability of obtaining the Heart of Geo without making a sound is small, it is worth trying, as this is the way to maximize profits.

If Liyue and Winterfall fall out, even if the Geo Archon is dead, Liyue still has many immortals, the Thousand Rock Army and sorcerers, and many nameless powerful figures in Liyue.

So if Morax hadn't been so strong that Tartaglia had no way to deal with him, he wouldn't have wanted to fall out with Liyue.

This was a choice that would do more harm than good for Winter and the Fools, but Her Majesty the Queen entrusted this task to herself.

Therefore, as much as possible, Tartaglia must both conceal the Fatui's actions and obtain the Heart of the Rock from Morax.

Now is an opportunity. Morax died inexplicably, but the opponent's God Heart is probably still there, although it is unknown why he met with misfortune.

But when a god dies, his heart does not disappear. In addition, his death was so sudden, isn't this a great opportunity?

The plan is simple: find Morax's body, secretly steal the Heart of God from it, and then it doesn't matter what happens next.

It would be best if the Liyue people didn't find out, but even if they did, it wouldn't matter much. At most, the relationship between the two sides would be hostile, but it wouldn't escalate to the point of being irreconcilable.

D'Artagnan knew very well that if he released the Vortex Demon God Oser and the Eight Dragons, then it would be a true fight to the death.

Unsealing the suppressed demon god plunged Liyue Harbor into an unimaginable crisis, which is a declaration of war.

“Yes.” Arecino smiled and said politely, “Do you need my help? If so, I would be happy to assist you.”

Arecino was being sincere; she knew very well that the script was now progressing in the direction the [Rock God] envisioned.

But Ningguang is no pushover. Arecino felt that the [Rock God]'s plan might be subject to some changes, so she offered to help.

D'Artagnan looked at Arecino's expression, smiled, and said nonchalantly, "Of course not, I've already thought of the next phase of the plan."

"Although the current situation is somewhat unexpected, I remembered a Liyue tradition that Mr. Zhongli mentioned to me unintentionally."

Yes, D'Artagnan thought Mr. Zhongli was just too good; he was practically her lucky star.

Now D'Artagnan finally understood why rich people and PhDs got along so well; dealing with intelligent people really does bring joy.

However, compared to the rich man and the doctor, D'Artagnan preferred dealing with Mr. Zhongli, who would patiently explain things to him.

The wealthy and the PhDs, on the other hand, like to keep things mysterious, always wearing a knowing and confident smile, and never revealing more than they say.

They always prefer to make others guess rather than reveal the process and answer directly.

If it weren't for the prohibition against infighting among the executives, Dadalia would have loved to fight these guys. Can't they just speak like normal people?

“Hmm?” Arecino raised an eyebrow, looking at Tartaglia with some 'surprise'. “Liyue tradition? This Mr. Zhongli really knows everything.”

"But I'm curious, what exactly is this so-called Liyue tradition? Could you please tell me?"

Arecino is 'humble and eager to learn' because she needs to acquire more information to ensure she won't be exposed next.

At the same time, Arecino was also very curious about what Mr. Zhongli of the Hall of Rebirth had said to D'Artagnan that enabled him to immediately come up with the next phase of the plan in such a short time.

Right now, Arecino is pondering how to get Tartaglia to unleash the Demon God, plunging Liyue Harbor into chaos, and how the Liyue Septim and the Liyue Immortals will ultimately resolve the situation.

Because once the Liyue Seven Stars and the Liyue Immortals get involved in this incident, Morax, who has been hiding behind the scenes, should be given a rating for their performance.

The two lightning sorcerers also looked at Tartaglia with some curiosity, wondering what kind of plan this "single-minded" executive officer, as described by the deceased lady, had come up with.
