Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

D'Artagnan was somewhat surprised by Arecino's 'humble' attitude, because given her personality, she shouldn't have cared about such 'trivial matters'.

She would probably say, "What should I do? Don't waste time, just tell me."

However, D'Artagnan's surprise only lasted for a moment. He didn't think much of it and casually said, "You all know about the ritual of summoning immortals, right?"

Arecino nodded to the two lightning sorcerers. How could she not know? After all, today was the day of the summoning ceremony.

"The festival that can be opposed to the ritual of inviting immortals is called the ritual of sending off immortals."

D'Artagnan smiled and looked at Arecino, saying, "As the name suggests, 'Sending off the immortals' means sending off the souls of deceased immortals to the heavens."

"Simply put, it's about holding a funeral for those deceased immortals, and this funeral is personally handled by the successive heads of the Hall of Rebirth."

“I know the head of the Rebirth Hall, and Mr. Zhongli, a famous guest elder of the Rebirth Hall, is also a good friend of mine.”

At this point, D'Artagnan had to admire himself; he had become friends with Mr. Zhongli about a year ago.

Unexpectedly, under these unforeseen circumstances, I managed to connect with Mr. Zhongli and hold a funeral for the Rock King Emperor.

Whether it was a funeral or not, Tartaglia didn't care; what he was really interested in was the Heart of God within the Rock King.

He'll take care of obtaining the Heart of God, while Liyue holds the funeral—isn't that a win-win situation?!

Thinking of this, D'Artagnan once again admired Mr. Zhongli, for he even knew about such an obscure traditional activity as the Sending Immortals Ritual.

This news came to me when I was inquiring about Osel and the Eight Dragons with Mr. Zhongli. I was struck by how popular the Summoning the Immortals Ceremony was, and how lively the annual Lantern Festival was.

Are there no traditional festivals or activities comparable to these two?

Mr. Zhongli directly stated that there was no such thing as a "tradition" in Liyue, because Liyue has a very special tradition that has not been held for thousands of years.

Upon hearing this, D'Artagnan naturally became curious, so he inquired about the tradition that was so popular that it rivaled the Invitation of the Gods and the Lantern Festival.

Zhongli answered all questions and revealed the festival for the rites of sending off the immortals. This tradition only comes online when an immortal has passed away, and probably few people in Liyue know about it.

Because of its special nature, D'Artagnan made a temporary note of it, so that after learning of the death of the Rock King, he remembered it.

Another plan immediately came to mind: to use the Immortal Sending Ritual and the unique privileges of the Hall of Rebirth to find the corpse of the Rock God Morax and obtain the Heart of the Rock God within him.

In this way, the plan succeeds! There's no need to cast the Whirlpool Demon God or the Eight Dragons, the overlord of the sea.

"awesome."

"Truly worthy of being called Young Master."

The two lightning sorcerers nodded in approval of the plan and were even more impressed with D'Artagnan, who had come up with such a plan in such a short time and had even maintained a good relationship with the person in charge beforehand.

Even if it's a coincidence, doesn't this mean that the young master is kind and makes many friends, which is why he received all of this?

Tadalia was also inwardly amazed, never expecting things to be so coincidental. But since things had come to this, it was time to invite Mr. Zhongli to dinner!

Arecino didn't show any outward expression, but she couldn't suppress her inner laughter.

To be honest, anyone who knows Zhongli's identity would probably burst out laughing after hearing what D'Artagnan said.

What you think is a brilliant plan that came to you on a whim is actually a trap someone else has already dug, waiting for you to jump in.

To be honest, Arecino was quite curious about what kind of expression D'Artagnan would have when she learned the truth.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems quite interesting.

"Alright, although that's the plan, we also need to pay attention to the situation in Liyue."

But Dadalia showed no sign of happiness. He stroked his chin and said very seriously, "Because of me, Zhongli is very likely to not get this job."

"After all, Liyue's attitude towards us is not friendly, and I have a very good relationship with Mr. Zhongli, so it's better to negotiate beforehand."

"For example, the Northern Bank is willing to provide funds to assist the Wangsheng Hall in holding the Sending-off Ceremony for the Immortals, in order to maintain the friendship between the two countries."

"In this way, Liyue can focus on investigating the death of the Geo Archon, while also being able to manage Liyue Harbor and... deal with the series of impacts caused by the Geo Archon's death."

Tartaglia's mind worked quickly; he even figured out how to gain Liyue's favor and how to get Mr. Zhongli to get involved in this matter openly and legitimately.

The more he thought about it, the more Arecino wanted to laugh; she was about to burst out laughing, even though she was professionally trained.

But seeing Tadalia both contemplating her plans and giving Zhongli benefits, Arecino felt she was about to lose her temper.

So Arecino looked at Tartaglia seriously and said, "Then go and carry out the plan. I'll stay here for a while and then return to Liyue Harbor. The Liyue Asgardians who were monitoring me have already left."

"We need to stagger our return to Liyue Harbor. Although this is somewhat deliberate, it is reasonable."

D'Artagnan did not refute this. If he and Arecino had returned to Liyue Harbor together at this critical juncture, that would have been extremely unusual. Therefore, returning to Liyue Harbor separately was the normal thing to do.

However, D'Artagnan doesn't plan to return to Liyue Harbor at this critical juncture. He wants to delay a bit longer, go collect the debt first, and then return to Liyue Harbor later.

After all, he had already told Keqing and the others that he was leaving Liyue Harbor to collect debts, so he still needed to make sure that things were done properly on the surface.

And so, Tartaglia departed. After collecting his debts, he would immediately return to Liyue Harbor to contact the Hall of Rebirth to conduct the Ascension Ceremony.

Arecino watched Dadtaglia's departing figure, a smile still on his face. Then he looked at his two subordinates and said, "You both heard what I just heard."

The twin lightning sorcerers knelt on one knee and bowed to Arecino, saying:

"Yes, my lord."

“We heard you clearly. Is there anything we can do for you?”

The two lightning sorcerers seemed ready to get to work; they felt it was time for them to do something.

After all, they had been with the lady for a long time and had long inherited her decisive and efficient personality. Once something happened, they would be there to carry it out immediately.

Therefore, in terms of execution, these two lightning sorcerers have an extraordinary ability to act and will never slack off or relax.

Simply put, these two are the kind of hard-working people who will whip themselves if they make even the slightest mistake.

This is why Alegino immediately took two of the lady's closest confidants after her death.

There's no other reason. Aside from the special circumstances in Liyue where they can't be used, in Fontaine... the two of them would be excellent subordinates.

“No, to ensure the smooth progress of your plan, from today onwards you will await my orders outside Liyue Harbor.” Arecino gave the order to the two Electrofoil casters.

Simply put, the goal is to separate the two of them and allow them to move freely outside Liyue Harbor, but not inside.

"Yes!" X2

The two lightning sorcerers did not object, because they had already realized that Lady Arecino was assisting the young master in his plan to seize the Heart of God.

Simply put, she must have had her own deeper meaning in doing this.

If Lady Arecino hadn't brought them along, they probably wouldn't have been qualified to hear this conversation between the executives.

Therefore, the two lightning sorcerers did not object at all, but directly expressed their agreement, and firmly stated that even if Lady Arecino asked them to go through fire and water, they would not hesitate!

Arecino didn't intend to put them through any hardship; she just hoped they would behave themselves so that they could return to Fontaine and truly unleash their full potential once things were settled in Liyue.

The conversation about the Fools had ended, but things were getting a little tricky in the chat group on the other side.

Paimon: "Oh my god, oh my god!!!! You saw it!!!! Morax!!! Dead?!"

[Ayaka Kamisato: "I saw it. This is absolutely shocking. I never expected something like this to happen."]

[Fu She: "Your Majesty..."]

[King Nagata: "Morax!!!! How could you die!!!"]

[Rotuo Dragon King: "Su Hao! See if you can pull his soul into the chat group!"]

[Gui Zhong: "How is this possible? Why would this happen?"]

Keqing: "I'm returning to Liyue Harbor immediately to investigate. @Rota Dragon King @Gui Zhong @Fu She, all of you, calm down."

[Ke Qing: "Although it happened suddenly, we need to stay calm, especially in situations like these."]

Paimon: "Keqing is right, everyone should calm down. Although that's what I'm saying, I myself am finding it hard to calm down."

Paimon: "That's Morax! The most powerful Geo Archon! How could he just die like that? Wasn't Su Hao supposed to add him to the chat group today?"

[Su Hao: "He's lifeless. Morax is dead. There's no way to add him to the chat group."]

[Yura: "How could this be...? The god died so simply?"]

[Ying: "Perhaps somewhere we don't know, Morax is waging a great battle against some unknown enemy."]

[Abedo: "Yes, that's very likely."]

[Kuki Shinobu: "More importantly, what should we do next? Yukyodai remains under lockdown."]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "We can only wait. There's a problem with the Winter Solstice delegation; I can sense they seem rather pleased."]

[Sino: "Yes, although we were quite far apart, I noticed it immediately. They seemed happy after seeing the Rock King Emperor die, as if their plan had succeeded."]

[Yae no Miko: "Although there are demons in the Winter Solstice, it doesn't mean they killed the Rock King. Even if the Ice Queen descended with all her Executors under such full scrutiny, they couldn't possibly kill the Rock King so silently."]

[Yae no Miko: "As a member of the Thunder God's family, I am well aware of the power of the gods."]

[Yae no Miko: "@Raiden Shin @Raiden Movie @Great Kindness Tree King @Wendy @Nassida, what do you think?"]

[Lei Movie: "It's hard to tell; perhaps Morax has encountered a formidable enemy."]

[Raiden Shin: "I have a guess, but it involves [taboo] which I cannot explain."]

[The Great Compassion Tree King: "I wasn't there, so I can't comment."]

[Nasita: "How could such a tragedy have happened..."]

[Wendy: "Grandpa!!! Why did you leave me like that!!! What am I going to do now that you're gone!!! The Seven Rulers are in power now! Only you and I are the original... Oh, and we also have to count Baal and the Great Tree King who have been resurrected. Never mind~ I won't cry anymore."]

[Raiden Shin: "…………"]

[The Great Compassion Tree King: "……………………"]

[Su Hao: "Wouldn't you say that I offended two gods with just one sentence?"]

Wendy: "But the old man, Morax, might have been involved in some taboo, which is why he had to face death."

Wendy: "I'd like to ask Mr. Zhongli of the Rebirth Hall about this. Are you aware of this matter?"

Zhong Li: "………………"

Ella: "I feel something's off."

[Ke Qing: "What's strange?"]

Ella: "No, it just felt so sudden, like I was caught off guard."

[Yae no Miko: "This is quite normal. Sometimes, things just happen unexpectedly."]

[Yae no Miko: "When I truly died, it was just as sudden."]
