Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

And so, Su Hao and the others returned to the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth, only to find... a familiar orange-haired boy standing there, seemingly contemplating whether or not to knock on the door.

"Young Master?!" Paimon's eyes widened slightly, and he said in disbelief, "What are you doing here?!"

"?" Ying also looked at Dadalia standing at the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth with some surprise, not expecting that the other party would actually be here.

"………………" Ella and Black Ella exchanged another glance, seeing a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.

What is Tartaglia doing here at this time? Doesn't he know that the Fatui have been blacklisted by Liyue? How dare he come to the Hall of Rebirth at this critical juncture?

Hisaki Shinobu and Sango Kokoro were also somewhat surprised. At present, the Fatui were the prime suspects in the murder of the Rock King, and the Fatui executor in charge of Liyue was Chosen.

His suspicion was even greater than imagined. If it weren't for the sudden death of the Rock King Emperor, Ke Qing, Gan Yu, and Ye Lan would probably have imprisoned him long ago.

Even so, why would Tartaglia dare to return to Liyue Harbor? And why would he not stay at the Northern Bank but instead come to the Hall of Rebirth? What is he planning to do?

Puzzled, utterly puzzled, no one understood why D'Artagnan was here.

Upon hearing the voices of the crowd, Kadalia turned around, gave them a friendly smile, and said, "Hey, long time no see. It seems something truly extraordinary happened today."

"I just came back from collecting debts outside and heard about this big news. It's really surprising. I never thought that the Rock King Emperor would die."

Paimon, somewhat annoyed, stepped forward and glared at D'Artagnan, saying, "Are you still going to pretend? This is definitely a trick by you Fools!!!"

Yes, Paimon has already tacitly agreed to blame all the bad things on the Fools.

“Wait, Paimon, how can you say that about me?” D'Artagnan shrugged helplessly and said, “I admit I’ve done many things, but I didn’t kill the Rock King.”

"It wasn't even done by a servant, because Zhi Dong doesn't have the ability to kill the Rock King Emperor right now."

Tartaglia was telling the truth. He was not lying. Neither he nor the Fatui, nor even Winter, had the ability or the guts to kill the Geo Archon within Liyue.

To put it simply, they can't kill the Geo Archon within Liyue's borders. Do they really think the Celestials and the Liyue Seven Stars are pushovers?

Furthermore, the Fools don't actually have the guts to kill a god; killing a god and seizing the heart of a god are two completely different things.

“This has nothing to do with us. You should go explain to Seven Stars.” Hu Tao stepped forward and looked at Dadalia, asking, “By the way, what brings you to the Hall of Rebirth?”

"Does this mean that you fools have business to give to our Rebirth Hall?"

It was no coincidence that D'Artagnan appeared at the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth; he was certainly prepared.

As for what he came here for? Surely he couldn't possibly have some business to give to the Rebirth Hall, right? So Hu Tao was very curious about this.

Clearly, Hu Tao had also become wary of Tartaglia. After all, the Rock King had just gotten into trouble, and the prime suspect had appeared right in front of her. Anyone would be suspicious of him.

"You know what, we actually have some business coming to you." Dadalia's eyes lit up slightly; he hadn't expected Hu Tao to bring it up on her own initiative.

Tartaglia looked at Hu Tao and continued, "This is a huge job. I don't know if you can handle it, but in the entire Liyue, only your Rebirth Hall dares to take on this task."

These words made everyone wonder: Did D'Artagnan really intend to come and promote his business?

Moreover, this is a huge business opportunity. I wonder if Walnut can handle it, but only Wangshengtang dares to take on this job?

What does this mean? This sentence feels so strange.

"???" Hu Tao was also full of questions, not understanding what Tartaglia was talking about.

"Sigh~ As expected, only Mr. Zhongli knows these things." Dadalia sighed, praising Mr. Zhongli's knowledge once again, and then looked at Hu Tao seriously and said, "The Ceremony of Sending Immortals! You know this, right?"

"A ritual to send off immortals? What is that??? It feels like a ritual to invite immortals." Paimon was full of questions, even though she remembered all of Liyue's traditional festivals clearly.

Well, if you're wondering why, it's because Paimon, as Teyvat's best guide, has memorized all sorts of traditional festivals!

Paimon remembered festivals with delicious food very clearly, but she couldn't remember what festival the Fairy Ritual was.

Not to mention Paimon, even Ella, Black Ella, Kuki Shinobu, and Coral Palace Heart Sea seemed a bit confused, having never heard of this "Sending Immortal Ritual" before.

"Ah! This!!!" Kurumi's expression became particularly serious after Tadalia said that.

Yes, how could she have forgotten this tradition?

“That’s right, only our Rebirth Hall can do this.” Hu Tao nodded slightly, agreeing with D'Artagnan.

D'Artagnan immediately understood when he saw the walnut, and breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had come to see Mr. Zhongli and ask him to handle the entire "Sending Immortals Ceremony".

However, no matter what, Mr. Zhongli was merely a guest of the Hall of Rebirth, not the head of the Hall of Rebirth.

Even if one were to take over the "Sending Off the Immortals Ceremony," the approval of Hu Tao, the head of the Hall of Rebirth, would be required.

D'Artagnan looked at Walnut very seriously and asked, "That's why I said this is a big job. Can your Rebirth Hall handle it?"

"We at the Hall of Rebirth will naturally handle the ceremony for sending off the immortals, but what are you trying to achieve by bringing this up?"

Hu Tao looked at Dadalia, a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes, and said, "Could it be that you have some ulterior motives behind this?"

"We're all family here, so I'll get straight to the point. If you have anything to say, just say it. I'm going to be very busy right now, so I need to prepare in advance."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention turned to D'Artagnan, and the topic returned to what it started with.

So what exactly does Daddariya want to do?

Chapter 444 I, Ruoduo, am not a fool.

What exactly is D'Artagnan's purpose? This is very important. The Hall of Rebirth will naturally handle the ritual of sending off the immortals, but what is he trying to achieve by bringing this up?

Hu Tao asked D'Artagnan directly what he was thinking.

"This is it~"

Tartaglia paused for a moment, then chuckled, “It’s nothing really. I just wanted to clear the Fatui’s name. We’ve heard a lot of bad news about the Fatui here in Liyue Harbor.”

"To be honest, although I can understand why our Fools have such a bad reputation, it is not a reason for us to be blamed for nothing."

"Although it is said that the innocent will clear themselves, we are all adults and still need to pay a price."

As he said this, D'Artagnan blinked and looked at everyone with a light laugh, "So, I came to find the head of the Hall of Rebirth. I want to hold this [Sending Off the Immortals Ceremony] in the name of the Northern Bank, um... simply for Mora."

D'Artagnan revealed his purpose: he planned to use the name of the Northern Bank to fund the Hall of Rebirth in order to hold this "Sending Off the Immortals Ceremony".

Simply put, they just give you money, and the funeral parlor will handle everything else; they don't care about anything else!

"Really?" Hu Tao was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Dadalia would actually be willing to suffer a loss in order to hold this [Sending Off the Immortals Ceremony].

"Don't agree to him! Walnut!" Paimon resolutely refused, looking at D'Artagnan with great vigilance. "I think the young master has no good intentions at all."

"Although I can't produce any evidence, he's definitely up to something!"

Hu Tao looked at Paimon with some helplessness. "Truly, he lives up to his reputation as Paimon."

Everyone knows whether D'Artagnan has good intentions or not, but Hu Tao wants to know where he learned about the tradition of the "Sending Off the Immortals Ritual".

It should be noted that even she, the 77th generation head of the Hall of Rebirth, did not immediately recall the tradition of the "Sending Off the Immortals Ceremony" after the death of the Rock King Emperor.

The coincidence was that no sooner had the Rock King Emperor died than Tartaglia came to inquire about collaborating with the Hall of Rebirth to jointly hold the "Sending Off the Immortals Ceremony."

“See, that’s just your prejudice.” D’Artagnan shrugged, looking at Paimon helplessly. “Hey Paimon, we’ve known each other for over half a year. Have I ever been up to anything bad about you guys?”

“Other executives have their own styles and methods, but they are other executives, not me. At least I haven’t done anything bad while I’m in Liyue.”

"That's prejudice. What's that saying again... um! Don't let group behavior be projected onto individuals."

D'Artagnan's words left Paimon speechless for a moment, seemingly unsure of what to say next.

From a purely rational perspective, D'Artagnan doesn't seem to have done anything truly wrong; at least, from the time they met until now, he hasn't done anything outwardly wrong.

The Fatui are generally quite obedient and well-behaved in Liyue, except for the month of the Ascendant Ceremony, when they become unusually rebellious and eccentric.

At other times, the Fools didn't do anything strange.

However, due to the chat group, Paimon received a lot of insider information about the Fatui.

In Mondstadt, Inazuma, and Sumeru, whenever something bad happens, the Fools are almost always involved.

If it wasn't the Fools, then it was the Cult of the Abyss that did it!!!

Right now, the Abyss Order is nowhere to be seen in Liyue, so the blame can only be placed on the Fatui.

Paimon couldn't offer any rebuttal, and D'Artagnan didn't intend to argue with Paimon about the topic.

Because he did come with a purpose, saying too much would likely expose his intentions.

Didn't you see Su Hao, Ella, Black Ella, Jiuqi Ren, Coral Miyako, Kurumi, and Mona all staring at you?

These guys aren't fools; if they say the wrong thing, their true intentions might be discovered.

Especially Su Hao... The other party has mastered the inheritance of three great gods and also has two divine hearts. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't defeat Su Hao...

D'Artagnan really wanted to find an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with Su Hao.

As for now... D'Artagnan dares not, because the other party could really kill him, and the Queen has already given an order that there is no need to retrieve the Heart of God from Su Hao.

"What do you think, Master Hu?" Dadalia looked at Hu Tao, seeking his opinion on whether he agreed or not. He wanted a straight answer.

Hu Tao was silent for a moment, then she shrugged and said, "Okay, but we need to sign a contract. Your Northern Bank will only provide funds and absolutely cannot interfere with this [Sending Immortals Ceremony]."

"Of course, our Rebirth Hall will also spread your glorious deeds to help you clear your name. Do you agree to that?"

Upon hearing Hu Tao's words, D'Artagnan smiled and added, "If possible, could you entrust this matter to Mr. Zhongli?"

“He’s an old friend of mine. If we let him take responsibility, you and I will both feel at ease, right?”

Although Zhongli was a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth, his knowledge and handling methods satisfied Tadalia and Hu Tao.

If that weren't the case, Hu Tao wouldn't have gone to Zhong Li immediately after the emergency, which in itself is a sign of trust.

"We'll see." Hu Tao didn't agree. She looked at Dadalia calmly and said, "As the seventy-seventh head of the Hall of Rebirth, how can a mere guest elder take over the entire process after the Emperor's passing?"

"Unless there are special circumstances, I will naturally take full responsibility. However, I will remember your suggestion. If you have no objections, then this matter is settled."

When D'Artagnan heard what Hu Tao said, he naturally had no choice. Although he really wanted Mr. Zhongli to be in charge of the entire "Sending Immortals Ceremony".

In this way, he could secretly find out more about the location of the Rock King Emperor's corpse.

However, Dadalia dared not reveal too much about Hu Tao's attitude, and what she said made sense. As the head of the Hall of Rebirth, she should have taken over the entire matter of the "Sending Immortals Ritual".

Although Mr. Zhongli is very knowledgeable and has a deep understanding of Liyue's past, he also values ​​tradition.

But in the end, he was just a guest, and could not replace the head of the Hall of Rebirth.

After D'Artagnan agreed, Kurumi nodded slightly, then said that the other party would wait for him there for a while before running into the Hall of Rebirth to prepare the documents for drafting the contract.

Hisaki Shinobu followed immediately, indicating that he could assist Kurumi in drafting the contract.

Then, as Daddariya saw Su Hao and the others quietly watching him, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Everyone, how did you feel about today's Invitation to Immortals ceremony?"

"To be honest, I regret that I couldn't attend the invocation ceremony today because I have several important debts to collect, so I was absent. I really feel sorry about it."
