Yuanshin: The duty of the inspector is to eat melons

"Is it strange?" She took another sip of soup calmly, "By the way, do you have any novels here, um, the adventure logs of fools are also fine."

"Even if you are an inspector and want to see that kind of thing, you have to go through the formal application process. Since it's boring, let's chat? You should have just come out from your hometown not long ago, right?"

"Yes."

Dadalia propped his chin with his hands, with a look of nostalgia on his face, "I don't know if it's snowing in my hometown now, after staying in Liyue Port for a long time, I want to go back and have a look, it's not that big here Snow……"

The two chatted about the topic of solstice, from snowstorms to cold disasters, from cities to small towns, feeling the changes of solstice and the difference between solstice and the outside world.

Although Tavernaar hadn't lived in Solstice Winter for a long time, the young master was very good at finding topics.For example, he first complained that the chopsticks were not easy to use, then he talked about the beet soup and various delicacies in Zhidong, and finally extended to the differences in eating habits between the two places.

The topic of hometown can always quickly bring the relationship closer, which can be seen from the fact that many scams start when fellow villagers meet fellow villagers.

After some exchanges, the young master expressed that he was very happy, and sincerely wanted to pick a time to make an appointment with Tavenal.

Tavernal wanted to refuse at first, but after thinking about his lack of training in fighting skills, he agreed.

But she repeatedly stated that she was a rookie not long after she got the God's Eye, and she couldn't hit her too hard to make her go wrong. The young master fully agreed to this, but he didn't know how much he could fulfill.

The next day, the lady disappeared all day, and it is estimated that she has already started to work on the next plan to win the heart of God. She is worthy of the name of a model worker. Tavernall picked books in the Wanwen Collection House in the morning, and accompanied Walnut to the pier in the afternoon, and went to many small schools. The children asked about Xiao Ming's affairs, but unfortunately there was no progress. Although some children knew Xiao Ming, they were not familiar with each other, and they usually didn't play together.

This frustrated her and Hu Tao, and their actions also attracted the attention of several officers and soldiers on duty, who thought it was a human trafficker looking for a template, but Hu Tao was relatively well-known in Liyue Port, and after explaining clearly, she accidentally obtained other news.

"Recently, three children have been lost for a while, so the higher-ups told us to pay more attention to suspicious people when we are on duty. Alas, Lord Yan blesses you, and I hope the children can be found."

The officers and soldiers returned to their posts, Hu Tao and Tavernall glanced at each other and walked aside.

"It seems that the matter is going back to the traffickers again, and judging from Xiaoming's current situation, the other two are probably more or less dangerous."

"Do you want to tell Qianyan Army?" Tavernaar asked for the other party's opinion, "How should I explain what I said?"

"It's better for the living and the dead not to get in touch too much. After yesterday's incident, they have already filed a record. The government is also investigating Xiaoming's disappearance. Huh, I will go to Wuwangpo again in a few days."

Hu Tao smiled and raised his hat, "Leave the affairs of the living to the living. As for the dead, it's better not to stay in the world for too long."

It seems that she is going to send Xiao Ming away first.

Well, maybe not being able to remember is not a bad thing, as Hu Tao said, let the living solve the problems of the living.

Chapter 15 Heavenly Power

Because he had already bought enough novels for entertainment, Tavernall thought about inviting Xian Dianyi after staying in the inn for a week.

The first two days she really lived quite comfortably, the young master and the lady were busy preparing for the heart of God, of course, they all prepared separately.

The son's preparation is to think about how to make things happen to force out the rock god and then make a fuss, while the lady has already arranged a deal with the rock god, focusing on preventing the son from making things big before her plan is implemented.

So Dadalia often ran up and down after receiving false news recently, and the look in the eyes of the lady became more and more unhappy.

Both execs were happily chatting about the same goal of serving the Queen, and Tavernall was watching the show like a bystander.

Just when she thought that most of this mission could be spent fishing and paddling, one day, someone knocked on the door of her inn, saying that someone wanted to see her.

What the hell, no matter what she says, she is also a fool and high-ranking officials. Although she is a polished commander, how can she just see her as soon as she sees her.

She immediately said that she still had important matters to deal with—only read novels, and she was going to refuse.

"Master Ningguang invites you to the Qunyu Pavilion for a talk."

Ningguang, the star of Tianquan, the first of the seven stars, the richest woman in Liyue...

Many names flashed through his mind one by one. Such a person would definitely not seek him out for fun, Tavernall was sullen, and had a headache for a while.

However, Zhidong's diplomacy has always been strong, and her current status is not an unknown person. Her attitude represents Zhidong's attitude to a certain extent.

The transaction between the Queen and the Rock God is of a very high level, which is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Right now, Seven Stars doesn’t know that the Rock God will cheat death in the ceremony of inviting the immortals. They may have discovered that the fools are trying to do things recently. After all, the young master is quite Active; the arrival of the lady is a secret. Except for the son, I have not concealed my whereabouts and my relationship with the fools is obviously a breakthrough.

It took only two seconds for her to think about it and clarify the relationship. Tavernaer nodded under the quietly observing gaze of the other party: "Since it is the invitation of Lord Tianquan, Lord Tianquan wants to show face."

"Please lead the way."

The guide was slightly taken aback, did he just go like this, without making any preparations, and without even informing the people at Beiguo Bank, should he be naive or confident?

"Is there any problem?" Seeing her stunned, Tavenal asked calmly.

"No, honored guest, please follow me."

It didn't take a big circle like in the game plot, the lady guide led her all the way to find Buyun who "sells the moon", and explained her purpose.

"I just said that Ms. Yan Qing seldom comes down. It turns out that there are distinguished guests. Please invite me here. This will open the way for the two of you."

Stepping on the pumice stone all the way up, Yan Qing has been quietly observing the girl beside her who may not have a simple background, dutifully collecting information for Lord Tianquan.

Looking at the appearance alone, he can be ranked at the highest level in Liyuegang, where there are many beauties, but his personality is quite restrained, which is obviously different from the foolish diplomats who have been in the limelight recently. Lack of emotional fluctuations, standing still is more like a delicate doll in a window than a person.

And even standing at such a high altitude, her emotions are still as calm as stagnant water, making it impossible to see her true thoughts.

This made Yan Qing more convinced of Lord Tianquan's judgment, that this person is definitely not an ordinary solstice traveler.

Tavenal, who didn't know what was going on in Yanqing's small theater in his head, looked at the ever-growing Qunyu Pavilion in front of him, and his mind was full of the scene where this thing smashed into the head of the vortex demon god Auxerre.

It is conceivable how much effort it took to build such a huge complex of buildings. This is the most powerful symbol of the wealth Ningguang has accumulated over the years.

Ordinary people would feel distressed for a long time if they were knocked down, let alone smashed, they can only be said to be worthy of a rich woman with skills and courage.

The two climbed up to the Qunyu Pavilion, passed through layers of guarded porches, and came to the most magnificent palace.

Just entering the room, a faint sandalwood scent floats into the nostrils, and the eyes are either antiques or rare paintings or copybooks, but they are placed quite horizontally, showing that the owner has a rich collection and is quite restrained.

Simply put, it is low-key luxury with connotation.

"Master Ningguang, Yan Qing will bring you here." Yan Qing bowed slightly towards Ning Guang who was sitting upright behind the desk.

"It's been hard work, let's go and rest."

There was a slight smile on the corner of Ning Guang's mouth, he looked very kind, with a dignified temperament, but not arrogant. "

After Tai Yanqing left, he turned his gaze to the calm and introverted guest.

"Miss Tavenal, please sit down. Don't be cautious. I have heard about your deeds a long time ago. Unfortunately, I was so busy with business that I didn't find time to invite you until today."

Tavernaar was not pretentious, and sat on the chair that the other party had placed long ago, facing the gaze, showing a listening attitude.

Concentrating on a smile, someone brought tea after beckoning. Watching the two cups of tea being poured separately, Tavenal casually picked up one of the cups, held it in the palm of his hand, caressed the rim of the cup leisurely, and took a sip.

"I heard that Ms. Tavernall personally participated in the handling of Mond's dragon disaster, and later came forward to help the Knights clear up the misunderstanding. I have been thinking about what kind of person you will be. Today, it is really extraordinary."

"Using Liyue's words, it's a matter of little effort." Tavernaar's mind was deep, each answer was carefully considered, and he tried his best to prevent the other party from analyzing his attitude from analyzing clues that were not conducive to the implementation of the lady's plan.

"Too modest." A shrewd calculation flashed in Ning Guang's eyes. Years of ups and downs in the business world made her have a pair of extremely accurate eyes. She could see the other party's guard against her. She was not surprised by this. Chatting with each other, slowly dispelling this vigilance.

"What kind of position is the inspector? Don't be nervous. I'm just curious. You don't need to answer."

When the atmosphere gradually became peaceful and relaxed, Dingguang raised this question without any warning. Before that, she had already hinted from many aspects that she had learned about Tavernal's position in the Fools from Mond. At this moment, she felt that The foreshadowing is enough.

Tavernal blinked slowly, as if he was considering his words, he calmly spoke out the speech he had prepared a long time ago: "Master Tianquan knows the historian."

Nodding his head, Tavernaar continued: "History needs to be recorded, but history is not accurate, especially those old news learned from other people, most of them have been processed, and the real truth may be far from it."

"And my duty is to travel around the world and record what I see and hear as much as possible."

"A rational approach may also be worth our reference." She smiled lightly, as immobile as a mountain, and it was also impossible to tell from the outside how much she believed in it.

In this way, the time was approaching noon in the hidden temptation, and Tavenal was very tired, and expressed the idea of ​​saying goodbye.

Ningguang knows that just one contact can't ask much substantive content. Compared with words, actions can better reflect a person's purpose.She didn't keep her, and let Yan Qing see off the guests.

After leaving Qunyu Pavilion and walking to Yujing Terrace, Tavenal saw two fools.

One of them left in a hurry after seeing her, and the other waited for her to approach, and saluted her, a little nervous:

"Your Excellency, Qi Xing didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Tavenal immediately guessed that his invitation to the Jade Pavilion had probably been known to his two colleagues.

It's normal for them to be worried. If she exposes something, it is related to the smooth progress of the plan.

"Nothing." She waved her hand and left on her own, with a clear goal.

It was the stage that I had just vaguely glimpsed at a corner.

Chapter 16 Debt Collection

The blue sky skips over the birds, and Tavernaar sits at the Eight Immortals table in the corner of Chapter [-], looks at the girl with bright eyebrows on the stage, and takes a sip from his teacup.

Originally, I came to listen to books, but I never thought that the successor of Yunhan Society would be here.

Yun Jin, the big daddy of all basic attack players in the game, of course, here, it is she who is sought after by people.

The beautiful singing voice and touching libretto sang from Yunjin's mouth, and the people below were fascinated, looking at the people on the stage with bewildered expressions.

Yun Jin looked at the audience, and a person in the corner caught his attention. The person had silver-white hair and was dressed as a foreigner, which was very eye-catching here.

The eyes of the two met, and those ice-blue clear eyes were like winter snow, which made people even feel calm.

Yun Jin seemed to have forgotten the sound of clinking cups and the scorching sun above her head, and her emotions became more and more integrated into the story she sang, moving the listeners.

After singing a song, thunderous applause and cheers continued.

"Mr. Yun, is Mr. Yun free recently? Our old man likes to listen to opera very much. It will be his birthday in two days..."

"Mr. Yun, my daughter admires you very much. I wonder if I can let her learn opera with you?"

"Mr. Yun..."

Yunjin is already used to this, she handles it proficiently, with a generous posture and ease.

She looked over to the corner again, but it was empty, a teacup was quietly placed on the table, and the residual temperature was still rising, as if what she saw just now was just a phantom.

Back in time a few minutes ago.

Tavernal was drinking tea and watching the show, a man dressed as a rich businessman at the next table stood up and walked to the outside.

Tavernaar glanced at the man instinctively at first, but raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the man's face clearly.

She had seen this man before. When she went to Beiguo Bank for the first time, she pulled a debt collector to ask for directions. He was watching this guy, right? :

So she took a second look and saw that something seemed to have fallen on the ground next to the other's chair.

Tavernall went to pick it up, it was a jade pendant with a petroglyph engraved on it.

Glancing at the direction the other party was leaving, Tavenal chased after him in the spirit of picking up money.

The rich businessman heard footsteps behind him, and turned his head to see someone trotting towards him. Before Tavernall could make a sound, he started running fast.

"?"

Seeing that this person not only didn't stop, but also kept running forward, Tavernaar was stunned, "Wait! You dropped something!"

It was rare for her to yell loudly, and the words spread through the air, and finally reached the ears of the person who was running wildly.

The other party stopped abruptly and glanced back.

Tavenal raised the jade pendant in his hand and shook it in the air.

The man looked around vigilantly again, and after confirming that there was really only such a little girl, he finally turned back.

"You dropped it, didn't you?" Tavenal handed over the jade pendant, the rich merchant smiled awkwardly, took it with both hands, and said words of thanks repeatedly.

"Why did you run just now?" Tavenal brushed a strand of hair behind him, a little curious.

"Something went wrong in business, ahem, you understand." The rich businessman looked even more embarrassed.

That's why you hide from people when you see them, thinking you are here to trouble him?Tavenal nodded in understanding.

"Think about the girl, if this thing is lost, I will have a headache for a while when I go back." The other party thanked him a few more times, then took his leave and left.

Following that person away, Tavenal suddenly turned his head, and a familiar guy not far away was leaning against the railing, seeing her turn around, he walked forward with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency, are you out for a walk?"

Noticing that there was a debt collector behind him, he took a second look and found that it was the debt collector he met that day.

The debt collector was also a little embarrassed to see her. At first, he heard that the other party was a newcomer, and he thought it was a recruit, but he didn't expect to be a high-level executive at the same level as his immediate boss.

However, as a professionally trained soldier, he quickly adjusted his emotions and gave a standard military salute to Tavenal.

"I came here to deal with the task objectives, but I didn't expect to meet you again. I was a little worried when I heard that you were invited to the Jade Pavilion in the morning, but now it seems redundant." Dadalia has been on it just now , Seeing that she was still in the mood to drink tea and watch a play, I knew it was not a big problem.

If you want to ask him where this confidence comes from, it can only be said to be intuition.

His intuition has played a key role in his previous missions. Many times, opportunities are often only for a short time, and it is impossible not to seize them in time.

And his intuition told him this way—this person is as loyal to Her Majesty the Queen as he is, so they can be friends on this basis.
