Arthur remained silent. On the surface, the Emperor had passed away, but in reality, this was a fake death arranged by Zhongli and a test for Liyue. Which version should he tell Xiao?
Although he could trust Xiao to keep his mouth shut, he wondered if this would affect Zhongli's plan. But if he told Xiao that the Emperor had passed away, the immortals would surely find out that the Emperor was not dead. Xiao might not blame Zhongli, but he would definitely be held against him.
"..."
"A blond traveler will explain the incident to you soon."
Because he didn't know how to start the conversation, he left the matter to Ying to explain. After all, Keqing had only entrusted him to find an immortal to come forward. Now that he had delivered the message, his mission was accomplished.
Seeing Arthur's expression that said, "I know but I won't tell you," Xiao suddenly had the urge to take action, but for the sake of the Emperor's Jade Tablet, he held back.
"In that case, then leave. I know about this matter. When the traveler you mentioned appears, I will make the decision myself."
After finishing the almond tofu, Arthur saw Xiao off, but he didn't want to leave.
"No hurry, I'll wait with you."
Xiao ignored Arthur and disappeared from Arthur's sight. When Arthur saw Xiao leave, he also flew to the roof, found a place to sit down, and waited for Ying to arrive.
Not long after, Ying appeared. Unlike himself, Xiao was slow to show up. Ying had just walked to the edge of the fence and leaned against it to look at the scenery when Xiao suddenly appeared beside Ying.
"Humph, I didn't expect you to be so lustful, Xiao! I'll remember this grudge."
But Arthur had no self-reflection at all. It was obviously he who teased Xiao by saying that he would tell Xiao what the accident was about only when Ying appeared. Now that Xiao saw Ying appear, he wanted to understand what happened, but this was regarded as adultery. It's a pity that Xiao didn't know that Arthur was watching him like this behind his back, otherwise Xiao would definitely not have been patient and would have stabbed Arthur with his spear.
Although Xiao showed up, he seemed to find that he was a little too enthusiastic.
"What you see with your naked eye may not be what you believe."
"A talisman without any taboos? It seems you have been prepared for this."
After seeing the existence of the Talisman of No Taboos, he was also sure that the person Arthur was talking about was the person in front of him.
"But this only guarantees that I will not harm your token, but it cannot guarantee that you will not get hurt."
"?"
Ying didn't understand. He was fine when he met Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang before, but when he came to Xiao, it seemed that he would be injured even if he met an immortal with the Scroll of No Taboos.
"Too close to the world of immortals and demons is a violation of the rules. Human souls are not as strong as immortals, and it is difficult for blood to carry such a concentrated immortal luck. For your own good, turn around and leave."
After saying that, Xiao disappeared again, and then Arthur saw Xiao appear beside him.
Xiao also wanted to know what the accident was about, but he neither felt the breath of the Emperor from Ying, nor saw the existence of the Eye of God. Xiao was still aware of his own situation. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to withstand the erosion of the remnants of the demon god.
Because I have been responsible for cleaning up the remnants of the demon, the karma I have created is not something an ordinary person can bear.
Although Arthur asked me to learn about the accident from Ying, Arthur did not leave, and he did not even deliberately hide his aura. Why should I ask an ordinary person?
Chapter 75: Gift of Jade Plate
Looking at Paimon below, I was still struggling whether to give Xiao a nickname. Suddenly I understood why Xiao ignored Paimon's call in the game. I guess Xiao was also watching everything from above at that time. Paimon was probably remembered by Xiao, but Xiao rarely showed any changes in expression, so Paimon didn't realize that he was being held accountable.
Then Ying and Paimon chatted for a while and left. It seemed that they were going to find Philgodette to find out what happened.
Xiao spoke only after Ying left.
"What kind of accident are you talking about? Why would someone come to look for immortals with a talisman that has no taboos?"
"The secret must not be revealed!"
Hard, the fist is hard. Xiao has lived for such a long time, whether he was killing enemies in the Demon War or was responsible for cleaning up the Demon residue after the war, he has never seen a guy like this who makes him want to hit someone.
(Ying: I understand. I thought the same thing when I first met Wendy.)
No matter how Xiao asked, Arthur just acted like he knew but he just wouldn't tell him. However, because of the existence of the Emperor's Jade Card, it was not easy for him to take direct action, so he had to give up.
"I've told you everything. The traveler just now will tell you."
"Humph! Even if she holds the Scroll of No Taboos, she is still just a mortal. Does what she knows have to be the truth? Seeing may not be believing, and hearing may not be false."
Xiao was right about one thing, that is, what Ying knew and saw was indeed false, but now this false information must be passed on.
"That's it, I don't think the traveler will appear again."
When Xiao was about to slip away, Arthur grabbed Xiao's hand and stopped him from leaving.
Seeing that Xiao didn't react to the fact that he was being held, and was about to stab back with a gun, Arthur quickly let go of Xiao's hand and retreated a distance.
"Then how about we make a bet on whether she will show up again."
"Oh? What does her appearance have to do with me?"
"If she doesn't show up by tonight, I'll tell you what happened, but if she does..."
"So what if I show up?"
"Well, I haven't thought about it yet. Then agree to one of my conditions without affecting your beliefs or harming Liyue."
Xiao thought about it, then said something.
"can."
Then he continued to stay by Arthur's side, ready to wait until night, and then learn the truth from Arthur. After all, how many of those who had been clearly asked to leave would show up again?
Next to Xiao, he also felt the existence of what was called karma. Because of Xiao's suppression, the leakage of this power was very small. If it weren't for his senses becoming more and more obvious with the increase of energy in his body, he wouldn't even feel it.
Probably even ordinary people, as long as they don't stay around Xiao for a long time, will not be affected. They will just feel a little colder than other places. If they stay together for a long time, getting sick will become inevitable, but the holders of the Eye of God and those who are strong can resist it for a long time.
But he did not feel anything. After all, the main effect of Honkai energy was corrosion. Ordinary people who had no resistance would be turned into dead bodies if they encountered the corrosion of Honkai energy. Since Arthur started using Honkai energy, he had never released it on ordinary people. Except in battle, he seldom released Honkai energy directly. He basically used the remaining wind power to convert it into a fluid (wind) to control it.
Xiao's karma, let alone hurting himself, was spontaneously annihilated by Honkai energy as soon as it touched him. It's a pity that Honkai energy can't speak, otherwise it would have spoken.
Honkai Energy: Who are you and how dare you touch me?
Time passed little by little, and finally before the sun set, Ying came back.
Ying and Paimon came upstairs with two plates. Xiao also appeared at the fence before the two went upstairs.
As he was leaving, Xiao's voice came from Arthur's ears.
"I lose this time. If you have any questions, just call my name."
I have received the same treatment as Ying, except that mine seems to be a one-time thing.
After Ying took out two dishes for Xiao, the two began to talk about the incident, but Xiao just listened silently. After the talk, Xiao did not leave, but turned around to watch Arthur on the roof.
Ying felt something shooting towards her, and without thinking, she stretched out her left hand to catch it.
"Jade token?"
Looking at the jade token in her hand, Ying was a little confused.
"Ying, I'll give you this jade token. It's much more useful than the Hundred Taboos Talisman, and it can save your life when you're in danger."
Seeing that Xiao had no intention of leaving and was looking towards his hiding place, Arthur no longer needed to hide. Xiao obviously had something to say to him. Even if he continued hiding, it would only be a waste of time and he would be called out by Xiao.
"Arthur!"
"Arthur, why are you here?"
Paimon and Ying saw Arthur appearing from the roof. They didn't know why Arthur appeared here, and looking at Xiao's expression, he didn't seem surprised at Arthur's existence. Could it be that the immortals knew Arthur's identity as the God of Wind? But looking at Xiao's disgusted look, it seemed that it was not the case?
"Is this the accident you were talking about?"
"Arthur, what's going on?"
Under the questioning of Xiao and Ying, Arthur explained the purpose of his visit, but he only said that he was now Keqing's guest and was just helping.
"In that case, I will go and discuss this matter with other immortals."
Xiao left, leaving only Arthur, Ying and Paimon in Wangshu Inn.
"What is this jade token?"
"Oh? Just consider it as your salary."
"?"
Arthur didn't say it explicitly, but Ying accepted it anyway, thinking of it as a reward for finding the immortal on behalf of Liyue.
"Then Arthur, do you want to go with us to look for the remaining immortals? Apart from Xiao, I have already met Master Xueyue Zhuyang, and there are only two others left."
The remaining two are Master Lishui Dieshan and Master Liuyun Jiefeng. He is not interested in the former, but is very interested in Ganyu and Shenhe's elder, the Liyue Story King, especially the story of Master Gulu Gulu rolling down the mountain.
"Let's go. I happen to be interested as well. I'll go with you, but I need to say hello first."
Since Keqing has already told me that Wangshu Inn is Ningguang's spies, I don't need to go back to Liyue Harbor to tell Keqing. I can just tell the owner of Wangshu Inn, Filgodette, to convey the message to me.
"boss!"
"Long time no see, adventurer from last time."
"Please tell Keqing that I have completed my work here, but I want to go meet the other two immortals and tell her that she doesn't have to wait for me for dinner tonight."
"Guest, what are you talking about, I..."
Before Filgodette could continue, Arthur interrupted her.
"Keqing has already told me. You can just pass the message to Ningguang and ask her to pass it on for me. I'm leaving now."
Filgodette looked at Arthur who was leaving, feeling somewhat helpless, but she still wrote the contents into a letter and then sent it to Liyue Harbor.
Chapter 76: Hulao Mountain
Arthur first came to Amber Prison Mountain with Ying. The name of this mountain is easy to understand. It means the mountain where amber turns into cages. However, every year countless people try to find immortals or treasures here and turn into amber.
Originally, Arthur was thinking of walking slowly with Ying to see how much amber they could see on the road to Hu Lao Mountain and what was hidden in the amber. Then, when the two of them passed through Jueyunjian from Wangshu Inn and came to Hu Lao Mountain, they found that the so-called road was a continuous cliff.
Although you can climb up slowly, it is indeed a waste of time.
Arthur had no choice but to give up the idea of walking up slowly with Ying.
"Ying, open your wings of wind first. I will take you to the top of the cliff."
Then after Ying opened the Wings of Wind, Arthur used the wind to create a wind field to push Ying to slowly rise, and then he slowly flew up as well.
Finally we climbed over the cliff and came to a road.
Just now, in addition to a road, I saw a small pavilion. There was amber around the pavilion. Before Arthur could take action, Ying rushed directly to the amber, smashed it with one blow, and a figure emerged from it.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Although the amber on the surface has crystallized, the inside is still in liquid form. I don’t know if it’s due to the power of the immortal or the special structure of the amber, the person inside did not lose his life. He just coughed a few times as if trying to cough out the remaining juice in his mouth, and then returned to normal.
The man said that his name was Li Dang. He and his brother Li Ding were from poor families, but they were blinded by the benefits when they heard that there were treasures in Hulao Mountain.
They came here to search for treasure and then live a rich life, but unexpectedly, just after they climbed up from the cliff and wanted to rest for a while in the pavilion, they were sealed in amber and unable to move.
Now Li Dang no longer longs for the existence of treasure. He only hopes to find his brother Li Ding and leave safely. However, Arthur Keying has not seen other people around. After breaking the surrounding amber, there are only some wild boars, slimes or hillbillies. After turning into animal meat and materials, several people slowly walked towards the immortal mansion.
Walking upwards along the road, they saw a big hole at the corner of the road. Ying jumped directly into it. When she was about to reach the ground, she opened the Wings of Wind and safely reached the bottom of the deep pit. She found a treasure chest. After Ying opened the treasure chest and put away the things inside, Arthur was responsible for generating the wind field again to send Ying out.
"As expected of an immortal's residence, the treasure chests contain more items than other places."
Along the way, they found a lot of treasure chests while fighting Amber, all of which were opened by Ying. Ying was going to give half to Arthur, but Arthur didn't accept it. After all, he now has his own wallet, and for the sake of his family (cannons) (bullets), he would not carry money and then pay.
As for the raw stones, the total amount of these raw stones is less than a hundred. To be honest, now Arthur needs 16000 raw stones just to copy a Heart of God. To be honest, these dozens of raw stones are not worth much. As for how to get 16000 raw stones after completing the contract with Zhongli and obtaining the Heart of God, Arthur already has an idea.
Along the way, all kinds of wild beasts and monsters were trapped in amber. Only a few hillbillies survived, but they were no match for the two of them. In this way, Arthur and Ying, with Paimon and Li Dang, successfully reached the top of the mountain and saw the existence of the immortal's mansion.
But there was no sign of Li Ding.
"Your brother isn't here either. Has he gone back? Or have you been trapped for a long time?"
Li Dang didn't know how long he had been trapped. After all, his consciousness only stayed before he was sealed. As for his brother Li Ding, he believed that Li Ding would not abandon him.
"Have I really been trapped for so long that my brother is no longer here?"
Finally, Arthur couldn't bear it anymore and said something.
"You're thinking too much. If Li Ding has grown old and passed away, how can you maintain your youth? If amber really has the power to freeze time, then the demons won't be afraid of wear and tear."
Although Li Dang didn't know what wear and tear was, he realized that it had not been long since Arthur was sealed.
Although Li Dang didn't say it, his attire and actions proved that he was a member of the Treasure Hunting Group. So must his brother Li Ding be one as well. However, Arthur didn't have much prejudice against the Treasure Hunting Group. Just like for adventurers, the Treasure Hunting Group was just a path they chose for survival.
It's just that some blinded guys didn't go treasure hunting, but instead engaged in banditry, which worsened the reputation of the treasure-hunting group. So, I don't know when the treasure-hunting group was equated with bad guys. However, there are also explorers who are only dedicated to the pursuit of treasure.
Li Dang was among them, so Arthur didn't mind helping him.
Let the wind slowly drift inside the mountain, and feel the changes when the created wind encounters objects, just like sonic positioning. The three-dimensional construction map of Mount Hulao appeared in Arthur's mind.
I have to sigh that the intelligence of the people in the next door studio has been reduced after awakening, otherwise, without considering the existence of ideal fluid, there are countless ways to play with the existence of wind, instead of only the routine of wind blade, tornado, wind blade, tornado, and they would not be killed by Titan.
