Don't ask why, even the Doctor suffered such a great loss at Su Hao's hands, plus Su Hao had two maids by his side.
Even if I teamed up with Arecino, we'd most likely still be taken down.
At that point, he'll truly be in a situation where no one can help him.
Therefore, Tartaglia immediately gave up the idea of meeting Su Hao. Now that Mr. Zhongli has left Liyue Harbor, he has lost all channels of communication.
So now he felt helpless. He sensed that something was about to happen, but he couldn't do anything about it. This sense of powerlessness made Dadalia feel extremely frustrated.
"Hehehe." Arecino chuckled as she looked at Dadalia's helpless expression, then said, "I've obtained some information that might interest you."
"To be honest, you've invested so much time and energy in your plan to seize the Heart of God, I really can't bear to see you fail."
Arecino's words made D'Addaría look up. He looked at her with some surprise, as if he were seeing her for the first time.
Does this guy have information that interests him? Right now, the only piece of information that interests him... is that one.
Is she really that kind? And where did she get her information from?
For a moment, D'Artagnan's mind went blank; he didn't trust Arecino, despite her being an executive colleague.
However, D'Artagnan did not treat Arecino well. Although he was unfriendly to the lady and the doctor, he still believed that they were doing the right thing.
As for the stragglers? There's no need to say anything about them, because they have no personal motives; they're simply machines that follow orders.
He would carry out any orders given to him, so Tartaglia trusted the skirmishers quite a bit.
Arecino, however, was different. Her eyes were filled with madness. Although she did a lot within the Fatui, much of it was for her own benefit.
As a colleague, she is not trustworthy; as an executive officer, she is self-serving.
Therefore, D'Artagnan's first reaction was suspicion, rather than directly questioning the other party about what intelligence they had obtained.
Even more importantly, despite all the measures he has taken in Liyue Harbor, he has not obtained any valuable intelligence so far. What valuable intelligence could the other side possibly obtain?
"Hehehe." Seeing the suspicious look in D'Artagnan's eyes, Arecino smiled without much emotional fluctuation, because she knew very well how she was perceived by him.
Arecino didn't mince words, looking at Tartaglia and saying, "The reason why Liyue Harbor is on high alert right now is simple: the Immortal will be visiting Liyue Harbor in four hours to speak with the Liyue Seven Stars."
"This matter is top secret. I found out about it through some underhanded means."
Upon hearing this, a flash of understanding crossed Tartaglia's eyes. The Liyue Immortals were visiting Liyue Harbor? This was truly a momentous occasion.
No wonder all the news has been blocked. This can't be blamed on the Liyue Seven Stars, since the Summoning Ceremony has now been changed to the Sending Ceremony.
It's normal for immortals to visit, but for immortals to visit now... doesn't that mean they're going to hand over power to the Liyue Seven Stars and then bury the Geo Archon?
"This is troublesome." Tartaglia thought of many things in a moment. Originally, he only needed to take the Heart of God from the corpse of the Geo Archon right under the noses of the Seven Stars of Liyue.
Now that the immortals have arrived, the Liyue Seven Stars will definitely inform them of the location of the Geo Archon's body, and there will definitely be an immortal stationed at the location of the Geo Archon's body.
The thought of having obtained the Heart of God and inevitably facing a celestial being gave D'Artagnan a headache.
How is this any different from officially declaring war on Liyue?
Moreover... the Liyue immortals are not so easy to mess with. They are ancient immortals who have survived the Demon God War since following the Geo Archon Morax. Just how strong are they?
Back then, he had exchanged blows with True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng from a distance, and he knew very well that his opponent was an unimaginably powerful enemy, and that he might be able to avoid defeat.
However, on Liyue's home ground, as long as they are held back for a while, reinforcements will continuously arrive.
The situation will be very dangerous then. Even if I get the Heart of the Geo Archon, it will be a problem whether I can leave.
"This is troublesome, but the second piece of news concerns the location of the Rock King Emperor's body."
Arecino looked at D'Artagnan, whose face was full of headaches, and said with a smile in her voice, "I'm sure you'll care a lot about this news."
D'Artagnan looked up at Arecino with great seriousness and said, "Can you be sure the source of this information is real?! Are you sure this isn't a trap?"
At this critical juncture, D'Artagnan no longer doubted Arecino; she wasn't foolish enough to tamper with the acquisition of the Heart of God.
And... Dadalia was indeed very anxious.
If Arecino's information is correct, then the best time for him to obtain the Heart of the Rock God is today, when the Seven Stars meet with the Sage.
At this point, Liyue's entire defensive force is most likely focused on the Seven Stars and the Sage, while the guarding of the Geo Archon's corpse will certainly be reduced to a minimum.
“It’s not a trap. As for my source of information… you should know the rules,” Arecino said calmly with a smile.
D'Artagnan remained silent. He naturally understood the rules, and it was true that the Fools' intelligence network was interconnected.
However, executives have their own intelligence networks, and the information obtained from these networks need not be disclosed to other executives.
"Where?" D'Artagnan stood up, looking at Arecino with great seriousness. "And what do I need to give in return?"
Tartaglia was serious; he needed to find the location of the Rock King's corpse, and he also knew the rules.
There's no such thing as a free lunch. Since Arecino was willing to reveal the information, she must have something for me to do.
Just like when I asked her to help release the eight dragons, it was a mutually beneficial relationship. What did I need to give in return?
Arecino looked at Dadtaglia and said calmly, "Let's talk about this after you've completed your mission."
"Is that so? I've actually changed my opinion of you a bit." D'Artagnan smiled, clearly showing a significant increase in his positive feelings towards Arecino.
Although the other party was selfish, D'Artagnan preferred that his colleague be a little selfish so that the other party would reveal valuable information at crucial moments.
Valuable people are worthy of respect no matter where they are.
Just like Mr. Zhongli, D'Artagnan knew that Mr. Zhongli was not strong, but the knowledge he possessed and his unique wisdom made him respect him from the bottom of his heart.
Arecino nodded slightly, tacitly agreeing with D'Artagnan's words, and slowly said, "The Golden House, you should know what that is."
"The body of the Rock King Emperor is kept deep inside. The source of the information is reliable. The area is heavily guarded, so you'd better be careful."
Upon hearing the words "golden house," D'Artagnan was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, as if he understood something.
"Okay, I'll be going now. I'll let you know if anything changes."
With that, D'Artagnan left the Northern Bank, appearing extremely excited. Knowing where the Rock King Emperor's body was, he couldn't wait to go and take action.
Arecino watched D'Artagnan leave quickly and shook her head slightly, unsure of what to say.
Finally, she summoned the Fools of the Northern Bank and asked them to pour her a cup of tea and two cups of coffee.
Even the fools under the young master's command would not disobey Arecino's orders, although they were puzzled as to why their servant was drinking one cup of tea and two cups of coffee.
Soon, tea and two cups of coffee were served. Arecino dismissed them all, waited a moment, and then clapped her hands.
"Father." X2
Linnie and Linette emerged from the shadows and immediately knelt before Arecino to show their respect.
“I told you, there’s no need for such formalities.” Arecino seemed slightly displeased with Linnie and Lynette’s actions, but she picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and asked, “Has the message been sent out?”
“Yes.” Linni nodded, stood up, picked up the coffee cup beside him quite naturally, and said, “I have already informed the traveler that there are strange movements near the Golden House.”
"Given her personality, she'll probably go over there to take a look, and she'll definitely find the young master who's planning to sneak in."
Lynette added, "I also told Paimon that there are unique snacks at the Golden House, and since they're rarely leaving Liyue Harbor today, they'll definitely go to the Golden House."
Arecino nodded slightly upon hearing this, then looked into the distance and said with some emotion, "In that case, the plan can proceed smoothly."
Yes, Arecino passed the information to D'Artagnan and Luminosity, allowing the two of them to meet.
Chapter 454 Paimon: "That Wretched Young Master"
"Father, there's something I don't quite understand."
Linni looked at Arecino and asked directly, "Why should we inform the travelers?"
"Wouldn't it be better to let the young master act as he is? The traveler is quite powerful; won't this affect the plan?"
Lynette's eyes also sparkled, and she nodded slightly, finding it somewhat strange as well.
It's not that I'm surprised that Father would pass the information to the Traveler, but rather that he would arrange for the young master to meet the Traveler.
Over the course of so many days, Linnie and Lynette have come to realize that while the Traveler is indeed very strong, he is not strong enough to rival an Executive.
Even though Linnie and Lynette approached the traveler without any ulterior motives, they naturally developed a friendship with him.
There's no way around it; someone with Ying's personality will naturally attract goodwill and become friends with anyone who is a good person.
Even Tadalia became friends with Luminous, but both Linnie and Lynette knew that someone with the Prince's personality would definitely put Her Majesty the Empress's will first.
Therefore, both Linnie and Lynette were worried that the traveler might encounter danger, which is why they asked the question.
Arecino naturally saw through Linnie and Lynette's thoughts, and she said calmly, "I know what you're thinking, but don't worry, the traveler will be fine."
"Moreover, letting her go there is also part of the plan, although I don't understand what [that person] is thinking."
"But since he said so, I have no choice but to do so. After all, this is all for Her Majesty the Empress's plan. Even if the young master finds out about this, he won't say anything."
Arecino remained calm; she wasn't the type to interfere in this matter.
Because "that person" had a need, she took the initiative to come to the Northern Bank to reveal information to D'Artagnan.
One thing D'Artagnan was right about was that she did indeed have ill intentions.
Arecino is now eagerly awaiting the moment when Tadalia will cause trouble and then discover the "truth."
Because if nothing unexpected happens, today will be the day that Tartaglia discovers the "truth," which is a very anticipated moment.
As for the traveler... although Arecino didn't know why she had to be involved, she wouldn't object to what "that person" said.
Just then, Arecino wanted to use Tartaglia to see just how powerful the Traveler would be when he unleashed his full power.
"Is that so?"
Hearing their father say this, Linnie and Lynette seemed to quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
Lynette picked up her coffee and began to drink it slowly.
The scene seemed to quiet down, and Arecino slowly sipped her tea, as if savoring something.
Linnie and Lynette were also savoring the delicious coffee, waiting for something.
Meanwhile, outside Liyue Harbor on the other side, Ying and Zhongli, who were in charge of collecting the [Sending Off the Immortals Ritual], also arrived at Dihua Marsh.
At this moment, they were also preparing to leave, because they had obtained the wild glass lilies needed for the [Sending Off the Immortals Ritual].
The process was rather delicate, and Paimon couldn't help but complain, "Traveler, I think you really should learn from Barbara."
"Look, even that con artist got so angry at your beautiful singing that he stood up and wanted to come and hit you."
Ying blushed slightly, unsure of what to say, because when Zhongli took them to find wild glass lilies...
