Chapter 115: Taking a photo with Zhongli’s grave
After what happened and getting a priceless old stone, Arthur led Zhongli towards the Golden House. Although the ceremony of sending off the immortals was over, the Liyue Seven Stars and the immortals had not yet discussed how to deal with the body of the Geo King. After all, what happened with the Young Master just now made it feel unsafe no matter where they kept the body. Even though the Young Master had entered the Golden House once, it was still one of the safest places at the moment.
Because of the young master, the number of guards has doubled on the basis of the original guards. Although the Mora production link lacks the most important Rock King Emperor, there are still countless Moras in it.
The two men did not enter through the main door, but quietly slipped in from the back.
After entering the Golden House, he came before the "corpse" of Emperor Rock King.
"It seems that the guards are still not enough. Didn't we sneak in again?"
Zhongli ignored Arthur's words. It would be a big deal if they were discovered. And if they could defend against two gods, then Zhongli wouldn't have to worry about whether Liyue could be independent. If the Thousand Rocks' guarding force was so strong, then their combat effectiveness would not be weak either. At least, they could not defeat the gods, but they still had a chance to try to fight.
If the Thousand Winds Army really has this strength, it would be good enough if Liyue didn't invade other countries.
It's my turn, I play first. I have three thousand Thousand Rocks soldiers in Liyue, enough to defend the gods. It's your turn.
"Come, come closer. Why are you keeping a stiff face? Smile. Yes, yes, yes. Make the curve of your mouth bigger. OK, say 'eggplant' with me."
As the shutter sound is heard, the photo is found.
Zhongli squatted beside Morax's "corpse", tilted his head slightly in the direction of the "corpse", and stretched out his hands to make a "?" gesture.
Arthur lay on Zhongli, clenched his right fist towards the camera, leaned it against the side of his head, and made an "eh" expression. Then he stretched out his other hand and made a "?" sign like Zhongli.
After seeing the photo, Arthur was satisfied and left with Zhongli.
After leaving, Zhongli stressed to Arthur, "Don't leak this photo, or my retirement life will be ruined."
"Eh? It would be so boring if I'm the only one watching it. How about a discount? How about someone who knows your identity?"
Zhongli thought about it and agreed to Arthur's request.
After all, the only people who know Zhongli's identity now are probably Arthur and Ying. As for the others, perhaps Barbatos of Mondstadt will guess it after hearing about Liyue, but these two are the only people Arthur knows, so it doesn't matter if he sees it.
As for other countries, the nearest Inazuma is in isolation, and the Sumeru Grass God has not appeared in public for a long time. Arthur doesn't know them. Even if he does, there are only a few of them.
After returning to Liyue Harbor, the two separated. Zhongli returned to the Hall of Rebirth and continued his daily life, while Arthur planned to find something to do.
Then I saw Ying, who had just returned from the Adventurer's Guild after completing a commission.
"fluorescent!"
"Ah, it's Arthur!"
Ying was listless, and took the rewards given by the Adventurer's Association casually, without the same enthusiasm as before.
This was the first time Arthur saw Ying so unhappy, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong? Why are you so listless?"
"You should know that Ningguang promised to give me a reward."
"I know. Why didn't I give it to you?"
"No, I've already got it. Originally I wanted a Mora, but I don't know where Ningguang got to know that I needed raw stones, so she collected a large box of raw stones. I couldn't resist the temptation and chose the raw stones. Suddenly I feel so regretful!"
"That's it? Wait, is this the only reward you want?"
"Yes, I later counted them and found that I had nearly 10,000 gems, which was enough for me to use for two months. But I have to save money to buy a house. Ah, the house prices in Liyue are so high!"
"What about your brother?"
At this moment, Ying suddenly startled and then showed an awkward smile.
"Ah, I forgot."
Seeing the strange looks from Paimon and Arthur, Ying quickly explained, "I've been too busy recently. I just came here and I'm running away, then looking for the immortals. I finally resolved the misunderstanding, and then I was dragged over to prepare for the immortal ceremony. Then I discovered the plan of the Fatui. I just dealt with the young master, and then I fought the demon again."
"Besides, I believe in Sora's ability. He will be fine."
Sora: You said you were going to travel to see me? You don't love me anymore, do you?
Arthur thought about it. Indeed, Ying seemed to be always busy, but it was also true that he forgot about Kong. It was probably because he had properties in Mondstadt and Liyue. As a foreigner, Ying was a little envious and wanted to get one too. However, he found that the rooms in Liyue were ridiculously expensive.
After all, it is a rich country located in the east of the continent, and the Liyue Harbor where everyone is located is also the most prosperous and largest port in the entire Teyvat continent. The housing prices are of course high. For the same price, if you want to buy a small house for one person in Liyue Harbor, it may be enough to buy a garden in other places.
With just a few commissions from adventurers, it would probably be enough for Ying to stay in Liyue for a long time if he wants to buy a house.
"Ying, are you interested in doing some business?"
"What are you doing? I don't know how to do anything."
"It's okay, it's okay. I suddenly wanted to set up a stall. You don't need to know anything, just follow my ideas."
Ying agreed to Arthur's request. After all, Ying was eager to make some money. Even if she didn't use it to buy a house, she could use it as travel expenses in the future.
With this interruption, Ying once again forgot that the purpose of her journey was to find her separated relatives, Kong.
Kong: Family members, who understands?
I came to a small stall and bought three pairs of sunglasses, giving one to Ying and Paimon each.
At the same time, he gave Ying a set of clothes similar to Taoist robes.
"This is?"
"Oh, I saw someone selling it a while ago, so I bought it. After all, the Taoist robe is very loose, so there shouldn't be any size issues."
"I'm not asking about the size, I'm asking why you gave me this thing."
"Hey, look at my memory."
Then he took out a matching hat from the warehouse.
"?"
Arthur gave a look that said, "I understand," and then took out a fake beard and handed it to Ying.
"???"
"That's good. The robe and hat, the beard to disguise the identity, and the sunglasses to hide the appearance, perfect."
"Who asked you for this?"
Ying's mind was a little confused at this moment. If she remembered correctly, didn't Arthur just say that he wanted to set up a stall with her to make some money? Why did he give her this outfit? Was he going to occupy the temple and make a living by the offerings of the believers?
Chapter 116: Fortune Telling at a Stall
"Aren't you going to set up a stall? What are you doing?"
Arthur finally realized that Ying didn't think he was not well prepared, but didn't understand what he wanted to do. "Let me ask you, what is the most profitable thing in Liyue without doing business?"
"robbery?"
"Don't think of criminal law first. It's about weddings and funerals. Weddings make money because they pursue festivity, and large banquets are expensive. But do you know why funerals make money?"
"why."
"It's all because of customs and feudal superstitions. Although I don't plan to hold a banquet or compete with Wangsheng Hall for business, we can set up a stall to tell fortunes. This thing is all about your mouth. As long as the other party believes it, you can make money."
"No, no, no, this is also a scam!"
"How can the God of Wind's business be called fraud? This is the God himself coming down to earth to help people relieve their worries. So let's do it or not."
"Dry!"
So the two of them agreed to change their clothes and meet again in the afternoon.
I found a stall with a table, three chairs, and two pieces of white cloth next to it, with two rows of large characters written on them with a brush.
On the cloth beside Arthur was written, "Predicting the troubles of life."
Ying's side said, "Remind Kunjun Yongjixiang."
Then on the table was written "Ask for divination ten thousand times".
"Don't miss it if you pass by. We two can't bear the sufferings of the world, so we've opened the door to your convenience and will tell your fortune for you. If you get it right, we won't charge you. If not, we won't charge you."
Because the two men were wearing Taoist robes and sunglasses, no one discovered their identities for a while. Even the Qianyan Army who were patrolling by just glanced at them. As long as these fortune tellers didn't cheat people out of money, they would not care.
It was a long time before the first customer appeared.
The man was dressed very coolly, wearing a straw raincoat with exposed arms, grey shorts and a straw hat on his back. With his bronze complexion, it was obvious that he was a fisherman who spent all year fishing on the sea for a living.
But now he looked panicked. When he heard Arthur's shout, he came to the table and sat down, and said directly: "Master, can you tell my fortune for me?"
"I see that you have a sad face and your forehead is dark. You are obviously strong and healthy, but you look like you have been ill for a long time and you have no energy in your body. Did you encounter something strange?"
"Master, please save me!"
I thought Arthur asked me to come out just to trick me into paying him some money, but I didn't expect that he could actually see the problem with the person in front of him. Apart from seeing that he looked panicked, I couldn't see anything else.
"Don't worry, tell me what happened to you recently and I will help you analyze it."
"Master, this is what happened. I was originally a fisherman, making a living by fishing. But a few days ago, the devil appeared and the port was blocked. In order to supplement my family income, I went to chop some firewood and sold it to merchants. Everything was normal, but who would have thought that strange things would happen to my family since then."
"On the first day, I felt nothing but tired. I just thought I had been out to sea all the time and was not used to cutting trees. I thought I would stop cutting trees in a few days and could continue fishing. But the next day, when I woke up, I felt sore all over. I thought I was overworked and just rested for a day."
"The next night, when I woke up, I found bruises all over my body, as if I had been beaten. But I am a decent person and I didn't make enemies with anyone, so I suspected that I was possessed by an evil spirit."
Arthur made a finger-pinching motion, then looked at him and said, "Are the trees you cut down still at home?"
"Yes, because we were arranged to leave Liyue Port a day later, and then returned at night, so the merchants did not come to collect them."
"I understand. You should transport all the wood you cut to the tree near Wangshu Inn, and pack up all the things you used to cut the tree and bring them with you. Then you will be fine."
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master. I'll go right away."
Then he placed a bag of Mora respectfully on the table, turned around and left, handing the Mora to Ying, who counted it.
"Hiss, this is not just ten thousand, it's thirty thousand Mora, but are you sure you can cure him? Don't let anyone come to your doorstep later."
"Don't worry, what could go wrong if I take action?"
"So, are you really good at fortune-telling? Or were you just talking nonsense from the beginning?"
Arthur also told Ying the whole story and his analysis.
In fact, it was just bad luck. He probably asked without being discovered. The fisherman secretly went to a far place to cut trees. Because of the young master, the remnants of the demon god were stimulated and began to activate. This guy was just unlucky. As for the soreness all over his body, they should be the initial negative effects. As for the scars all over his body, they were probably scraped on the bed during his painful exercise at night.
The reason why he was sure that it was the remnant of the demon god was because he felt the same aura on this person that he had felt on Xiao. That was also the reason why he asked him to go to the vicinity of Wangshu Inn.
Since leaving, Xiao has been staying near Wangshu Inn, cleaning up the active demon residues around him. He doesn't know whether the wood and other clothes he carries with him will be contaminated with the scent of the demon residues, but he still takes them with him to be on the safe side.
Ying was shocked. She didn't expect that she would actually run into him. She almost thought that he had really encountered a ghost or was being retaliated by someone.
After the fisherman left, no one came for a long time. On the first day, the two of them got a customer in one afternoon and received a fee of 30,000 yuan.
In the end, Mora was handed over to Ying. Arthur was just playing with it. After all, if he wanted to pay for it, he could just send it directly to Keqing's house. And for the sake of the skill effect, he would not choose to spend his own money even if he had money.
It was not until the next day that Ying had just completed the adventurer's mission and called Arthur to set up a stall together to earn some extra money. As soon as they started the stall, countless people gathered around and even formed a long queue.
In just one day, the Mora he earned was equivalent to the total amount of money he earned in the Adventurer's Association, but it was not like the situation yesterday. Most of them were about life issues. Except for a few people who gave a few thousand Mora more, the rest paid exactly 10,000 Mora.
It was not until the two of them finished their stall for the day that Ying learned the reason from others. It turned out that the fisherman from yesterday went directly to Wangshu Inn overnight. Not only did he solve the problem that day, he was also fortunate enough to meet an immortal. After passing through him, he returned to Liyue Harbor and told the neighbors about the matter.
Then word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and everyone began to spread the word that there was a new master at the market in Liyue Harbor.
Chapter 117: Caught for operating without a license
Ying suddenly became obsessed with fortune-telling. She even bought a basic book on hexagrams and started studying them. She even neglected sleep and food because of it. Paimeng told her all this the next day when he saw her.
Even today, Ying found me directly in the morning. She didn't even do the daily commission of the Adventure Sisters Association, but came to me and asked me to set up a stall together.
It seems that the money earned yesterday gave Ying the idea of making money by fortune-telling.
"So this is your testimony?"
"It's true. We really set up the stall to make some pocket money, and we have never cheated anyone."
"Do you have a business license? What about your qualification certificate? Have you applied to Yue Haiting for permission to set up a stall?"
"You have nothing! This is called operating without a license!"
"Also, take off your sunglasses."
Two Qianyan soldiers stood behind the two men, and the person in front of them was Yan Fei, but no matter how Yan Fei tried to take off their sunglasses, she failed.
Yan Fei wanted to take off the sunglasses of the girl with a fake beard, but she was clearly sitting on the chair and didn't move. But she couldn't touch her no matter what. Every time she reached out to the sunglasses, she couldn't dodge.
The person next to him who had not said a word was even more suspicious. He was just silently sipping the tea on the table. After he had been trying to take off the sunglasses of the man dressed as a boy next to him without success, he tried to suddenly change his target, but it was as if he was blocked by something. He just turned around to take it, but his hand did not take the sunglasses. Instead, it passed directly in front of the man's eyes and did not touch anything.
Because the crimes committed by the two were not serious and there was no suspicion of defrauding money, on the contrary, they helped many people. The main problem was that they operated without a license. They only needed to apply for a business license, go through the application process, and pay a fine.
But I always felt that a part of the immortal in my body told me that these two people were not simple, so I brought them here.
