Zhongli thought for a while and then said, "Yes, it is OK to this extent."
After hearing Zhongli's affirmation, Arthur suddenly became energetic. What kind of mechanism? It's so funny. Let me show you what it means to truly break all laws with one force.
Chapter 90: For the glory of the tree! Self-destruct!
"Keqing, ask everyone to leave and stay away."
Although she didn't understand why everyone had to stay away in order to crack a mechanism, Keqing immediately asked all the Thousand Rocks soldiers and her secretaries to leave in response to Arthur's new appointment.
"Is the mechanism in this combat room offensive? Do you know how to unlock it?"
"So fast? I haven't found the mechanism yet."
"I know a universal trick to crack the mechanism. I have tested it and it is indeed effective. You should also move away from it to be careful not to get hurt by others."
As everyone evacuated to a safe enough place, only Keqing, Ying, Zhongli, and the ever-present Paimon were left by his side. After giving Zhongli a look, Arthur took out his bow and arrow and summoned the Imaginary Scouts at the same time.
Ying understood now what the universal trick to crack the mechanism was. Did the experiment mentioned here refer to blowing up the mechanism of Master Liuyun Jiefeng?
She grabbed Paimon and put him behind her, then silently retreated a few steps. Although Zhongli had never seen this, he had heard of it, so he also retreated a few steps with Ying. Although Keqing didn't know what was going to happen, when she saw that Mondstadt's golden-haired honorary knight and Mr. Zhongli, a guest official of the Hall of Rebirth, both retreated a step, she also retreated tacitly.
Arthur drew his bow and aimed at the direction of the war preparation room in the distance. Now that he had Zhongli's guarantee, he could go and break (destroy) the mechanism without any worries.
Since we don't have to worry about damage, we might as well try to strengthen the imaginary vanguards first.
Because the Imaginary Sniper is summoned by Arthur himself, the options for the skill, "Encouragement", are also very simple.
[Based on the current situation, host, please choose one of the following two options to complete the encouragement.
1. For the glory of the tree!
2. (Add the Honkai energy with imaginary attributes to the Imaginary Soldier) For the glory of the tree! 】
It was obvious at first glance that option two would definitely have a greater amplification effect. As half of the Honkai energy in the body was added to the Imaginary Soldier, the Imaginary Soldier's body gradually expanded, and returned to its original shape after Arthur stopped, but the energy in the body increased significantly.
"For the glory of the tree! Explode yourself!"
"Use a clever strategy and end it all in cold blood. What breaks out is a pincer attack."
The imaginary vanguard once again turned into a meteor and flew towards the direction of the war preparation room on his side. Because the strengthening effect of encouragement was exceptionally outstanding, this time the imaginary vanguard did not become a disposable shell as before, but still maintained its shape, but its body surface kept flashing gold and red light alternately.
The virtual scout knew Arthur's target, so he slowly expanded his body, tore the door of the war room open with one hand, and then flew to the other side of the war room.
"boom!"
Although the Imaginary Scout could still maintain his shape for a while, Arthur's order was "For the glory of the tree! Explode!"
After breaking into the war preparation room where several people were closest to this side, he came to the other side, simply let go of his body, and chose to self-destruct.
“Help…Help!”
Although the two sides were only dozens of meters apart, the aftermath of the explosion still swept over. Arthur isolated the airflow around him, Zhongli used the rock pillars he created to block the aftermath of the explosion, Keqing and Ying also inserted their swords into the soil to prevent themselves from being blown away, but Paimon was not so lucky.
Perhaps it's Ying's hair that's not so lucky?
Just like when the two first met Wendy and Tevarin, Paimon grabbed anything he could around him to avoid being blown away. She was originally placed behind Ying, but because Ying wanted to hold on with both hands, she did not continue to hold on to Paimon.
So Paimon chose to grab something within his reach, which was Ying's hair.
Zhongli's face looked a little ugly. After a few seconds, the aftermath of the explosion dissipated. Keqing and Ying were covered in dust and dirt from the smoke produced by the explosion. Arthur and Zhongli were spared from the harm because of their own methods, but Zhongli regretted agreeing to Arthur's request.
Who could have thought that Arthur would come with such a big wave.
After casting a cleaning spell on each of them and seeing their unhappy faces, Arthur quickly took the materials from the war preparation rooms on both sides.
The situation was fine on the side close to the few people, but the other half of the war preparation room was a mess. One could even see crystals left by Zhongli using the rock element on the ruins. Fortunately, Zhongli felt something was wrong and increased the level of defense, otherwise, it might not be this ruin, and only half of it would be left.
"Now that we have the materials, we can start the restoration."
Arthur brought all the materials to the side of the machine. Although several people realized that Arthur was trying to change the subject, they did not want to pursue the matter further.
Keqing asked the Qianyan Army and the secretaries to come back. After figuring out the repair method, she commanded the Qianyan Army to start repairing the Guizhongji.
After a long period of repair, the Guizhong Machine was finally successfully repaired with the joint efforts of all the Qianyan Army.
"All soldiers are here to guard the return machine. We must ensure that it is not destroyed by those with ulterior motives!"
"Yes!"*n
After Keqing gave the order, she turned around and looked at Ying and her group.
"Thank you for your help, this foreign traveler, and Mr. Zhongli. Your help will not be in vain. I will send someone to deliver the reward. Next, please return to Liyue Harbor with us."
"remuneration!"
"Arthur, I'll leave this to you for now. I'll be responsible for sending the others back first, and then bring people over to take over."
After Arthur agreed, Keqing prepared to leave with the secretaries who had finished recording the data.
"The others will return with us!"
Just like that, the team that came here originally has now become Qianyan Army and Arthur stayed behind to guard the Guizhong Machine, while Keqing returned with the secretaries, Ying and others.
"Bye, Mr. Arthur!"
"Bye-Bye!"
When a few people left, for some reason the secretaries around Keqing all greeted her. Come to think of it, it seemed like it was the first time she had spoken to them?
During the group's return, because they were located directly on the edge of Liyue Harbor and very close to Bubu Lu, they were separated from Keqing as soon as they returned to Liyue Harbor.
"So we didn't accomplish anything on this trip?"
Ying remembered that the purpose of her and others coming out was to use the Guizhong Machine to hunt coconut sheep, and then exchange it for the Eternal Life Incense. Now that the coconut sheep does not exist, she and others have wasted a whole morning.
"In general theory, yes."
Although he failed to complete Qiqi's commission, Ying still got the Eternal Life Incense when he came to Bubulu, because Baishu had returned. Of course, the reward was paid by Tartaglia.
Chapter 91: Barbecue! Barbecue!
On Arthur and the Thousand Rocks Army's side, there were indeed people eyeing Gui Zhongji, but seeing the Thousand Rocks Army guarding it, the ordinary members of the treasure-hunting group did not dare to take action. When they heard the explosion, they wondered if some treasure had appeared and wanted to come and make a fortune, but they were intimidated by the strength of the Thousand Rocks Army and could only return in disappointment.
However, it would still take Keqing quite a while to go back and forth. If she returned alone, it wouldn't take long. However, if she returned with her secretaries, delivered the situation and data of the return machine to Yuehai Pavilion, and then summoned the soldiers of the Qianyan Army to replace them, it would probably take until the afternoon at the earliest.
There is no need for me to worry about the Thousand Rocks Army. After all, there is a captain who will organize the team on his own. The main reason why I stayed here is that Keqing knew that I had the power, and asked me to stay here to deal with unexpected situations. It is estimated that when Keqing brings people here, it will not be just an ordinary Thousand Rocks Army, but there will be people with the Eye of God.
It is already noon, and it is almost time for Liyue's normal lunch. The team leaders organized the people to take turns to rest, leaving a few people to stand guard while the others started to eat.
"That's the downside of leaving Liyue Harbor. We can only eat the dry food we brought with us, and at most we can grill some meat if conditions permit."
"Yes, after all, this is not a war, and there will be no logistics personnel. I already miss the boiled fish in Wanmin Hall."
"Me too, me too."
This is why Arthur's suggestion of taking turns went so smoothly. Since it was not a large-scale expedition, there would be no logistics support, and everyone's food basically consisted of the dry food and dried meat they carried with them. If they were by the lake or encountered a wild boar, they would just grill some meat and put it between the dry food, or grill a fish to satisfy their cravings.
Seeing the soldiers complaining while they were resting, a squad leader couldn't stand it anymore.
It was obvious that this team leader had experienced war. There were two deep scars on his face, but fortunately his eyes were not injured. He just looked a little scary. Looking at his hands, the thick calluses and small wounds proved that he was definitely a soldier who had experienced the trials of life and death.
"Stop complaining here. It's good to have something to eat. When we first started..."
Before the captain could finish his words, the member next to him interrupted him.
"Captain, we get it. I've heard you tell me the story of how you strayed into the ruins and survived in the wilderness for half a month without any food hundreds of times. I can even recite it by heart."
"That's right, Captain. We were just talking casually."
The team leader whose spellcasting was interrupted had no choice but to stop the subsequent spellcasting and sit down to prepare to eat the dry food in his hands with others.
"Would you like something hot to eat?"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned, even the few members who were still on guard were attracted by Arthur's words, but their behavior was not blamed by the captains present. After all, even the captains present were also attracted.
"Lord Arthur, did you bring any cooking utensils?"
It was a seemingly young Qianyan soldier who spoke first. Although he was now in charge of standing guard, no one else blamed him for his behavior.
After all, in this situation, being able to eat a hot meal is more important than anything else. What's more, it's not a domestic guard post. There are not so many requirements for outdoor guard post. As long as no suspicious people are allowed in, there will be no problem.
"Although there are, I don't think there are enough bowls, chopsticks and plates. How about I make some barbecue? Is there anyone who wants to eat?"
“If you want to eat, you must eat!”
"Does Lord Arthur need anything? I'll prepare it now."
"I'll go collect firewood."
"I have a flint here. Lord Arthur uses mine."
Originally, I called him Lord Arthur only because of Keqing, but now every time I called him Lord, it came from the bottom of my heart.
Some went to look for firewood, some went to make a fire, and if they were allowed to run too far, some would probably have gone to catch wild boars.
But there is no need to prepare bamboo sticks and ingredients. Although he complains about his system every day, the system is not stingy at all when it comes to giving out sundries like these. He has drawn so many times so far, and although he has only a few skills, the bunch of miscellaneous things are enough for Arthur to open a grocery store.
Take out bundles of bamboo sticks, and various meats and vegetables, control the wind blade to chop them and then string them into skewers, take out an iron net, and start your barbecue life in the wild.
"Oh, I've decided. Lord Arthur is my new faith!"
When the barbecue was finished and distributed to everyone, Qianyanjun, who was on guard just now but had already taken a rotation to rest, said this.
But no one blames you. Although everyone in Liyue believes in Geo Emperor, some people also worship other gods at the same time. As long as you don't make it public, you can worship other gods sealed by Geo Emperor. No one will interfere with your beliefs. As long as you don't cause trouble, no one will care even if you believe in all gods.
Just like that, the Qianyan Army's originally difficult lunch life suddenly turned into an extremely happy barbecue queue. After a hearty meal, everyone began their afternoon guard life.
However, because of the barbecue life, the soldiers of the Qianyan Army were obviously more energetic in the afternoon.
"This group of Qianyan soldiers are having barbecue at noon. When did they get this kind of treatment?"
Not all members of the treasure-hunting group who came after hearing the noise left. Some of them still planned to pick up some bargains. The stricter the guards, the more valuable the things here are. With such tight guards, the things inside must be very precious. Just a little bit of them would be enough to make them rich and prosperous.
What's more, even if I can't get it myself, as long as I wait here, I can get the real news and sell it to others.
But they kept waiting and waiting, and the Qianyan Army seemed to have taken root there and refused to leave. At noon, they thought that since this place was close to Liyue Harbor, some of them would leave to buy something to eat or find local supplies. However, unexpectedly, apart from someone who collected some firewood, no one left. Then the smell of barbecue wafted through the air.
A few members of the treasure-hunting group who still insisted on not leaving looked at the shriveled steamed buns in their hands and smelled the fragrance in the air, and suddenly felt unbalanced.
But this strengthened their determination. With such good treatment, the treasure must be extremely valuable. So they waited and waited until Keqing came back with her people to take over the shift. They didn't leave yet.
But they didn't know that the so-called treasure was nothing more than the remaining weapons - the Return Machine. They couldn't use them even if they took them. As for selling information, who in Liyue would buy such information? Even the Fatui wouldn't trade with them, and it was considered good enough if they didn't directly take action to deal with them.
Chapter 92: Know Yourself and Get the Gift of the Tree
"Let's go."
Keqing brought people over to take over the shift. The new members of the Thousand Rocks Army were responsible for the night guard. Looking at the new people, there were three holders of the Eye of God alone, and several people dressed as clerks, one of whom was Arthur's acquaintance, Cui Si.
It seems that the newcomers are not only the Qianyan Army, but also Ningguang's men. Cui Si looks like a scholar in his clothes, which is quite deceptive, but with his muscles all over his body, I guess ordinary God's Eye holders would not dare to guarantee that they can defeat him.
Moreover, it seems that the other people dressed as clerks are probably not ordinary people who are powerless. Not to mention that they are strong men who rely on physical combat like Cui Si, they must have some special skills.
The members of the Thousand Rocks Army left during the day, finishing their day's work and going back to rest. Before leaving, many of them said goodbye to Arthur.
Keqing was quite curious as to why Arthur had gained such a high reputation in the Thousand Rocks Army in just one day. What kind of magic power did Arthur have to achieve this?
The biggest factor is the existence of Keqing. If it weren't for Keqing, the Qianyan Army would not easily trust outsiders. It is precisely because of Keqing's accumulated reputation over the years and everyone's trust in her that everyone also gives the greatest trust to the people she chooses.
Coupled with the strength he displayed when breaking (breaking) the mechanism, and the cooking skills he displayed during lunch, it was natural that the Qianyan Army present were convinced of Arthur.
It is estimated that after a period of dissemination, Arthur's fame will rise.
The trust brought by Keqing's guest status, her own strength, and the gratitude and reputation brought by her cooking skills will make Arthur's reputation within the Thousand Rocks Army reach a peak, even second only to the Seven Stars of Liyue and the top few generals.
After Keqing brought everyone back to Liyue Harbor, it was already dinner time in Liyue. Smoke rose from every house, and various restaurants on the street became popular. At the same time, countless street food also appeared one by one, attracting customers from the surrounding areas.
"Then let's go home and eat."
Habit is a terrible weapon. Thinking back to the first time Keqing ate at Arthur's house, coupled with her mother's teasing, she ran away after the meal.
Now I am used to coming to Arthur's house at dinner time every day. Even when I have to work overtime, I will take the work home and continue to complete it, unlike before, when I would wait until I finished work and go home to eat something casually.
"It's been that long!"
"what happened?"
Arthur was still cooking. When he was not in a hurry, Arthur still preferred to cook by himself. Although the food tasted good, there was no difference. The food cooked by himself still had more homely taste.
After hearing Keqing's sigh, he stuck his head out and asked Keqing what had happened.
"Nothing, I just sighed. Arthur, you have been in Liyue for such a long time."
