"Do you need me to take action next?" Ying asked again, looking at Su Hao. "If nothing unexpected happens, this matter should be over by now."

Clearly, Ying was preparing to rest after two minutes of intense fighting with Tartaglia.

If she hadn't taken a pseudo-concentrated resin pill, which allowed her mental and physical strength to recover quickly, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on by now.

"Hmm." Su Hao nodded slightly, and looked at Yingmei with a light smile, "Then naturally I still need your help, after all, I'm going to chase after Arecino next, although I don't know what she'll do."

"But we still need to be wary of her. I'll leave Liyue Harbor to you."

Ying gave another subtle look; she wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.

At this moment, Ying seemed to see through everything, but she said nothing and chose to remain silent, even though she didn't know what was going on.

But Su Hao must have his reasons for saying that. I'll ask him about it slowly after everything is over.

"Chase after Arecino?" Paimon's face showed a very subtle expression. She poked her finger and looked at Su Hao, saying, "By the way, Su Hao, if you see Linnie and Lynette, they are the two we met."

"You should still remember, right? It was when Ying fought that Inazuma-no-Mae ronin."

Su Hao nodded, then looked at Paimon and smiled, "You want me to go easy on them, right? Don't worry, as long as they don't attack me, I won't hurt them either."

"At most, I'll just arrest them. As long as they're not strong enough to make me lose control of my sword, that's fine."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Paimon visibly breathed a sigh of relief, because Linnie and Lynette were not strong enough to make Su Hao lose control of his sword.

And so, everyone left the Golden House together. At this moment, the Thousand Rock Army soldiers who had collapsed outside also woke up.

Upon seeing Ying and Su Hao, the awakened Qianyan soldiers clearly showed expressions of shame.

They themselves knew that they were not doing a good job of guarding the Golden House, so they asked Lord Su Hao and the Traveler to come and help.

This is truly a disgrace. They guarded the Golden House for years, only to be attacked and wiped out before they could even retaliate.

Today, only one Tadalia has entered this place, and he entered alone.

Although D'Artagnan was an executive officer of the Fools, the other party was the lowest-ranking officer. For a lowest-ranking Fool to be able to freely enter the Golden House was simply a sign of disrespect.

The Thousand Rock Army guarding the Golden House are now determined to train hard so that such a thing will never happen again.

After using the Grass God's inheritance to check on the condition of the Thousand Rock Army, Su Hao nodded slightly after finding that they were basically fine.

This indicates that D'Artagnan had some control over his strength; otherwise, the Thousand Rock soldiers would have fared much better than just fainting today.

After resolving the matter at the Golden House, Su Hao, along with Ying and Paimon, headed towards Liyue Harbor.

Now that things are settled at the Golden House, it's time for the main show to begin.

We've finally waited for this day.

Chapter 458 The Touching Tadalia

Su Hao and the others began their return to Liyue Harbor. Meanwhile, not far from Lonely Cloud Pavilion, a portal resembling the Abyss appeared.

D'Artagnan appeared there, lying on the ground with a knife wound on his body, from which blood was gushing out rapidly.

However, at this moment, D'Artagnan's face was full of relief. A few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as he sighed, "Thank goodness, I dodged it at the last moment. Otherwise, that slash might have cut me in two."

"That Su Hao really doesn't know how to hold back at all. We've known each other for so long, why does he want to kill me the moment we meet?"

D'Artagnan complained a little, but he still obediently applied medicine to himself and used his elemental powers to heal his body quickly.

It must be said that the power of water element is quite remarkable; it can both heal wounds and attack enemies.

D'Artagnan slowly healed his wounds. He knew time was of the essence, but he had to get himself back to peak condition.

Otherwise, the plan would be impossible to carry out. He only had one chance left, and he couldn't afford to waste it.

If the humans and immortals of Liyue were to learn that he intended to release the Vortex Demon God, they would definitely increase their vigilance and might even reinforce the seal.

Then my plans will completely fall apart.

While Tartaglia was healing her wounds, Arecino appeared with two lightning spellcasters.

"You've come." D'Artagnan looked at Arecino as she approached, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

"Did you succeed?" Arecino looked at Dadtaglia's appearance and smiled. "Although Su Hao slashed you, if you can get the Heart of God at the cost of this injury, then it's a good thing."

The two lightning sorcerers looked at Tartaglia with admiration, knowing that Su Hao's reputation among the Fatui was now practically demonized.

Lady died, Soldier lost his memory and was practically dead, and Doctor died countless times.

Young Master actually snatched food from the tiger's mouth! He obtained the Heart of the Geo Archon Morax and even managed to escape.

That's truly admirable!

“No, we failed. We were tricked.” D'Artagnan’s face was quite grim. He looked at Arecino and said, “Morax is not dead. He is faking his death. Next, I will activate the original plan to release the seals on Osel and the Eight Dragons and force Morax to come out.”

Hearing this, Arecino's expression didn't change much. She said leisurely, "If that's the case, then I will help you release the Eight Dragons. But do you really think there are no problems with this plan?"

D'Artagnan naturally understood that Arecino was saying that even if Ocel and the Eight Dragons broke free of their seal, they wouldn't be able to cause much trouble.

“I know what you’re thinking.” Dadalia nodded seriously. His injuries were improving, and he said calmly, “Su Hao slashed me from a distance, and I was seriously injured.”

"His strength is too great. I'm even starting to suspect that Osael and Baqiu will be suppressed by him as soon as they break free from their seal."

“You have to know that Su Hao received the inheritance of the Rock King Emperor, so he naturally has the ability to suppress Ba Qiu and Ausel.”

"So after we break the seal, we must join forces to deal with him."

D'Artagnan was very serious. There was no turning back now. If he continued to hesitate, not only would his plan to seize the Heart of God fail.

The Northern Bank, as well as the Fatui here in Liyue, will also be subjected to various forms of suppression by Liyue.

Then there will be no chance to seize Morax's Heart of God.

"Oh? You're that confident?" Arecino looked at D'Addaria with a smile, and said calmly, "If the two of us join forces, we might be able to hold off Su Hao, but what if [she] makes a move?"

"You should also be aware of the information the Doctor brought; that guy has also entered the realm of demon gods."

Arecino was referring to Ella, who is also a formidable opponent. Su Hao and Ella, master and servant, joined forces, along with the Seven Stars of Liyue and the Liyue Immortals.

The plan simply couldn't proceed. To put it simply, these two could hold off Osel and Baqiu.

"........."

D'Artagnan remained silent, naturally aware of this, which was why he planned to release Osel and the Eight Dragons during the invocation ceremony, with the aim of forcing Morax to take action.

Because Osel and the Eight Dragons were released during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, Morax would definitely not allow Su Hao and Ella to make a move.

This concerns the reputation of Liyue, and Morax, as the Geo Archon, will definitely take action to suppress Oser and the Eight Dragons.

He directly seized the Heart of God from Morax during his battle with Oser and the Eight Dragons, allowing him to escape.

As a result, Morax showed no martial ethics whatsoever. First, he faked his death, and then his immortal body still lacked the heart of a god, completely disrupting the entire plan.

Without the Geo Archon, the Liyue Seven Stars and the Sage will naturally unite in the face of crisis, and may even ask Su Hao and Ayla to help suppress Osel and the Eight Dragons.

In this way, Morax can continue to stay behind the scenes and not have to worry about anything.

Even so, Tartaglia was determined to take the gamble. He bet that the Liyue Seven Stars and the Liyue Sage would have pride and wouldn't let Su Hao and Ella make a move.

In that case, there's probably a 40-50% chance that Morax will be forced into faking his death.

"It seems you've realized too, the plan has a flaw." Seeing D'Artagnan's expression, Arecino knew that the other understood what she meant.

The two lightning sorcerers dared not speak, for they knew that the next step would be a tremendous challenge.

This test was once again with Su Hao, whose terrifying strength made the two executive officers hesitant to act rashly.

"So what if there are loopholes? There's nothing we can do now." D'Artagnan said seriously, "I have nowhere to run. If you were in my shoes, what would you do?"

Although D'Artagnan, a fellow executor of the Fools, didn't have a particularly good impression of Arecino.

But there is one thing they have in common: when things get to this point, it's not a matter of not turning back until you hit a brick wall; it's about going straight for the brick wall and dying.

Either the south wall breaks down, or you die on the south wall.

Arecino smiled and nodded, saying, "Even if there's a risk of failure, there's also a chance of success, so naturally I'll take the chance."

"However... I'm not saying this to discourage you, but do you know why I came to Liyue?"

Hearing Arecino's words, D'Artagnan blinked and casually said, "Weren't you here to investigate the prophecy about Fontaine?"

Yes, D'Artagnan believes that Arecino has come to investigate the Fontaine prophecy because of what the other party has been doing these days.

All of this was for the Fontaine prophecy, for which she used a large sum of Mora, as the amount of Mora was enormous.

The rich man's subordinates made a special trip to Liyue to negotiate with Arecino, asking why she used that amount of Mora, especially if she had used it in Fontaine.

The rich man would only think that Arecino was carrying out a plan to steal the Heart of God, so he wouldn't say much. But what are you doing with so much Mora in Liyue?

Are they just throwing money away for no reason? Do they really think Mora just fell from the sky?

The final outcome is unclear, but it is said that the rich man's subordinates were very dissatisfied but helpless because Alegino's executive position was higher than the rich man's.

Furthermore, Arecino is a madwoman; if you anger her, the consequences could be no less severe than being used as a guinea pig by the Doctor.

This is why, despite disliking Arecino, D'Artagnan allowed her to act freely in Liyue and dared not interfere with her.

“That’s one reason.” Arecino shook her head slightly and looked at Datalia seriously. “Secondly, I was ordered by Her Majesty the Queen to come and assist you in obtaining the Heart of God.”

"?!!!"

"!!!!!" X2

Tartaglia and the two lightning sorcerers were shocked upon hearing this.

D'Artagnan looked at Arecino in disbelief, and exclaimed in shock, "Why didn't you say so sooner?!"

"What do you think?" Arecino said calmly, "If you knew I was here to help you, what would be your first reaction?"

Yes, why didn't you say so sooner?! If only you had known that Arecino was the one who helped you seize the Heart of Morax.

That's D'Artagnan's first thought... Could this guy be here to steal the fruits of others' labor?

Then came all sorts of precautions. Although everyone was serving Her Majesty the Empress, they had been working on Liyue for several years, and now their efforts were being taken advantage of.

Even if Tartaglia had a good mentality, she couldn't tolerate this. Therefore, if she knew that Arecino was there to steal the Heart of God together...

Nadalaria is probably going to be scheming against Arecino.

While this was Tartaglia's idea, the other two lightning flaming sorcerers had much simpler thoughts.

The sisters actually suspected their servant of neglecting his duties, choosing to slack off every day, and even scattering money around – all of this was actually the Queen's will!

Her Majesty the Queen entrusted the task to the servant, which is an expression of her trust in the servant.
