"Because he deliberately downplayed his presence. You all came from remote villages, far from Liyue Harbor, so you don't know a lot of things.

His first scheme was the iron ingot bubble incident. He directly plundered more than 70% of Liyue Harbor's wealth and built this smooth road for Liyue that runs through the border of Mondstadt.

Then he used a second trick to use the opponent's strength to defeat the opponent. He directly brought down two Seven Stars and a large number of termites in the General Affairs Department, and also revised the laws.

Then came the third plot, the train derailment incident, which directly made the robbers and bandit organizations like the Treasure Stealing Group become history in Liyue.

Now Liyue is the only country on the continent of Teyvat that does not have a bandit organization. He later used various strategies. This time, it is also a strategy. Let us wait and see what effect it can achieve.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess his plan. Just think about it, if it is confirmed that the Fatui of the Kingdom of Winter did something terrible in Liyue. Then how will the people of Liyue treat all the industries of the Kingdom of Winter in Liyue?"

"Hiss...what a vicious plan." The soldiers around felt a chill on their backs when they heard the captain say this.

"Line up and report your numbers." The bearded captain shouted when he saw that everyone was already equipped.

"twenty three..."

"Set off."

......

Three bowls are not enough.

Ying and Paimeng came to the place arranged by Zhongli, an open-air pavilion facing the lotus pond square.

"It seems that there is no red screen here, and it is forbidden to turn on the sound of the game console. There is even a storyteller on the stage!" Paimeng looked around.

“Because the sound of the game console had caused some trouble before, in order to avoid affecting the storyteller’s storytelling, the owner of the tavern had to ban it.

The stars move, the world changes, but life remains the same. Things always rise and fall. I am afraid that in a dozen years, there will be no more storytellers in Liyue. " Zhongli's eyes showed a trace of loneliness.

"How could that be?" A question mark appeared above Paimon's head.

"Is it because of this? I updated it last night. The Liyue TV station replaced the role of the storyteller." Ying took out the game console from her bag.

"That's right. In the past, transportation and information were inconvenient. If people wanted to hear some new news, they had to rely on storytellers. Storytellers were responsible for spreading the information, and most of them had connections with the government.

During the most prosperous period, almost every restaurant in Liyue had a storyteller. Now there is a channel that is very easy to get the information you want, which is better than listening to storytellers in all aspects. I am afraid that in the future, you can only see storytellers on this Liyue TV station."

"It seems that Zhongli is very sad." Paimon didn't know how to comfort him.

"It's just some emotion. The Rock King Emperor will leave soon. The decline of the storyteller profession is just a matter of time. Let's not talk about this anymore. You guys have a good rest tomorrow. I'll go prepare some common supplies. The day after tomorrow you guys can come to Yujingtai to watch the ceremony of sending off the immortals."

“Well, tomorrow will definitely be a sunny day. I’m going to go around Liyue and try all the delicious food there!” Paimon set a huge flag.

"Speaking of which, I've visited a lot of places these two days, but there's one place I'm very curious about. Is that palace floating above Liyue Harbor the residence of an immortal?" Ying asked curiously.

"Oh, it turns out you are a new visitor! Let me tell you slowly." The storyteller Tian Tiezui above began to talk about the things in Qun Yu Pavilion.

Tian Tiezui is a very good speaker, and just a few words can inspire endless reverie. After the storytelling...

"Is this the storyteller's skill? I seemed to have seen an illusion just now." Paimon drank some low-alcohol fruit wine, got a little drunk, and floated into Ying's arms.

"It's very exciting." Ying also agreed.

"This Tianquan Ningguang is so familiar with that big bad guy, maybe she also knows some information about your brother? I wonder what kind of person she is?"

"Come to think of it, I felt like the atmosphere was a little off just now." Ying frowned and looked towards the square.

"Oh, yes. I just noticed that a lot of crystal cars drove by."

"Just in that period of time, more than 300 military vehicles have passed by here."

"so much?"

People on the Lotus Pond Square were talking about it and looking down at the port. The vehicle had already stopped at the port square, and then there was no further action.

A beautiful woman with blue hair and horns on her head appeared at Sanwan Buguo Port. After she bowed to Zhongli, she said to Ying and Paimeng: "Hello, I am Ganyu, the secretary of the Seven Stars. Tianquan Star Ningguang wants to see you. Time is a bit urgent. Do you have time to come with me now?"

The two looked at Zhongli. "Don't worry about me, dinner is over. Go ahead, and see you at Yujingtai the day after tomorrow." Zhongli said and left.

When Ganyu took the two of them to the Qun Yu Pavilion, in the small villa.

"Finally alive!"

Lin Zixuan relaxed his muscles. After spending most of the day, he finally eliminated the power that inhibited recovery in his body, and then his body quickly healed itself. He looked at the message received on the communicator. Is it finally going to start?

Recalling what Tartaglia said in the game. The world belongs to the strong like them, and they have no interest in the boring and uninteresting weak. He released the whirlpool demon god Osel without any scruples, affecting the people of Liyue. If the Emperor hadn't backed him up, how many people would have died in Liyue?

Without the Emperor to re-apply the seal, it would be impossible to seal Osel back into the broken seal.

If the Emperor did not fake his death, what was the Fatui's original plan? Release Osel directly, let the Emperor and him fight to the death, then hold the people of Liyue hostage, causing the Emperor to be seriously injured, and finally reap the benefits? For the sake of the great cause, the people of Liyue are not important, and it doesn't matter how many people die?

No matter how perfectly he is packaged, it still cannot change his nature as a Class A war criminal. It's like a perfectly good nuclear power plant, but someone ordered it to be blown up, killing hundreds of thousands of people, and then I was told that the person who gave the order was not guilty. How funny.

Even if there is a turning point and a superman appears and saves everyone, can the person who ordered the bombing of the nuclear power plant go unpunished?

He had already been given the opportunity, and the Hundred Unforbidden Talisman was replaced, making it impossible for him to make talismans. I didn't expect him to bring some special seal-breaking machines. Tian Hengshan just mentioned it, but he actually placed explosives directly in it. He was simply reckless and willful.

What Liyue has not done in the game, let me complete it! Nowadays, Liyue is no longer the situation where the emperor was invincible and the country was extremely backward.

With the rise of industry, the improvement of equipment, and the solidarity of the people, the Qianyan Army is no longer the kind of army that can be shot down and wiped out by a few ordinary arrows. If we don't let the Kingdom of Winter cut off a piece of meat, it would be a waste of the layout of the past ten years.

The function of the Heart of the Rock God is to mint coins. Do you really think that everything will be fine if you take away the right to mint coins? Mora has already suffered from severe inflation. A new monetary system is also being prepared. It is not impossible to make "Liyuan" the new universal currency of Teyvat in the future. With the economic war of Blue Star for hundreds of years as a support, Liyue has long been invincible in terms of finance.

Walking out of the balcony and looking at Guyun Pavilion in the distance, I couldn't help but think of a question: A demon remnant of Osel's level. What if... Osel, who has been sealed for too long, has not recovered his power and died. Wouldn't I have to kneel on the ground and beg him not to die?

Chapter 132 The Long Night

"Wow, what a luxurious place. These things must be very valuable, right?" Paimon looked at the high-end furniture around him.

"All the valuable things have been borrowed by Lin Zixuan. Now these are just some high-quality goods." Gan Yu replied.

"Just top-grade goods? I can't imagine how rich Ningguang from Tianquan Star is. Could it be that he even uses Mora as a mattress pad when he sleeps?"

"She did sleep like this for a while."

"Really?" Paimon's eyes widened.

"Ahem, Ganyu, you go and get ready first. Ying and Paimon have been waiting for you for a long time." Ningguang, who was sitting in the main seat, glared at Ganyu fiercely.

"Nice to meet you. Lady Ningguang, what's the matter that made you call us here?" Ying asked straight to the point.

"Don't be so wary of me. Please take a seat. I have been in correspondence with the acting leader of the Mondstadt Knights of Favonius. She has high praise for you.

And the one in my family also said that you are very special, a special existence with seven elemental powers, but you have not yet recovered your power and can only use the elemental power of wind and rock. You are currently visiting the Seven Gods to find your blood brother. "Ningguang walked up to them and personally brewed a pot of Kung Fu tea for them.

"I feel like all our secrets have been exposed." Paimeng spread out his hands speechlessly.

"Then may I ask..." Ying was about to speak when Ningguang pressed her finger on her mouth.

"I invited you here this time to clear up some misunderstandings. It's only natural that you don't trust us Seven Stars.

Liyue has always been based on "contracts". If you want to get something, you must pay something.

You want to see the Immortal Ancestor Transfiguration of the Rock King Emperor, no problem. You want to get your brother's information, no problem either.

But you must have heard the saying: Free is the most expensive. So, I'm going to ask you to help me with something."

"Anything, if I can do it."

"No hurry. There is still some information you need to know. You should have heard of the 'Demon War', right?"

“I’ve heard a little bit about it, but I don’t know the details.”

"There were many demons in the world, and there was a long war that ended only two thousand years ago. During that time, countless lives were lost and countless blood was shed.

In the end, only seven victors remained on the continent of Teyvat. They established their kingdom on the remains of the losers and began the Age of the Seven Gods.

In these two thousand years, there has been no more war between the seven nations, and people have been able to develop peacefully. Losing the gods means losing their protection.

Liyue occupies the best place in the entire Teyvat continent, the largest trading port, the largest primitive fairy forest, rich planting plains surrounded by water, and the largest mineral reserves...

Without the Geo King, how long will it take for Liyue to be completely devoured? How many plans are being made against Liyue in secret? In the intelligence I received in the past few days alone, there are more than 300 reports of people trying to devour Liyue's various resources.

The executive officer of the Kingdom of Winter, Young Master Tartaglia, should have produced some evidence of the Seven Stars' attack on the Rock Emperor.

When Liyue was dealing with the Seven Stars who were involved in corruption and bribery, they were desperate and actually attacked the Emperor, making you believe that the Emperor Rock King was assassinated by the Seven Stars.

But he probably didn't tell you how powerful the Rock King was. He only needed to wave his hand and the people he was trying to assassinate were petrified and turned into ashes, which were then blown away by the wind."

"Can you turn people into ashes just by waving your hand?" Paimon asked in surprise.

"So, there is no one in this world who can successfully assassinate him. There are no weaklings who can ascend to the throne of God. Those who do not have extraordinary strength would have died in the war between demons and gods long ago.

There is actually a sealed candidate for god near Liyue Harbor. If he had not fought to the death with the Emperor in Liyue, the throne of Fontaine or Mondstadt would probably be his now.

Osel, the Demon God of the Whirlpool, possessed power not inferior to that of the Emperor during the Demon War, but was ultimately defeated and sealed by the Emperor for two thousand years. He is currently full of hatred towards Liyue.

We have discovered that someone is taking advantage of the Emperor's passing to make some small moves to release this demon god who is equal to the Emperor and full of hatred for Liyue to destroy Liyue. Do you think I will let those people go?"

"So, are you planning to let me fight against the demon god who rivals the Rock King? If you want me to die, just say so." Ying's face darkened.

"How could that be? I just want you to guard the Golden House tonight. I received a tip that someone will raid the Golden House tomorrow morning to snatch the Immortal Ancestor's Transfiguration from the Rock King, and then turn it into a mechanical demon god to destroy the continent of Teyvat.

You just need to make sure that the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Transmutation will not be taken away by others. Of course, if you have the energy to help in other places, I will be very grateful. I will definitely reward you handsomely later."

"I understand. I sign this contract."

"Very good. A good weapon can better demonstrate your strength. Here is a purple standard weapon for you! Don't refuse. For Liyue today, as many weapons as you want are available."

"Well, thank you."

"Then I'm looking forward to your performance. Baiwen, you are responsible for leading the way." Ningguang returned to the main seat and began to handle official business.

After the travelers Ying and Bai Wen left, the Qun Yu Pavilion became quiet.

Ningguang took care of some official business for a while, then stood up and looked at the empty Jade Pavilion. Some valuable treasures had been moved away by Lin Zixuan. After wandering around the pavilion for a while, she recalled his words. Should she make some kind of decision herself?

"Come on, get in the car, there is no anchor over at the Golden House."

The lifting platform landed on the Yujing Terrace, and Baiwen quickly opened the door of the crystal car parked below.

"Miss Baiwen, are there a lot of Moras in the Golden House?" Paimon asked curiously.

"Of course, you can roll around in there and play, but don't put your hands out. The inspection will be very strict when you come out. If Master Xuan hadn't told us about the dangers of making Mora crazily, I'm afraid we would still be making Mora continuously."

"Hey, isn't more money better?"

"Of course not! The impact of too much money is huge. The consequences of inflation are very serious."

"inflation?"

"Yes, to put it simply, money has become worthless. A hundred years ago, a bowl of meat noodles cost only 30 Mora; forty years ago, it cost only 100 Mora; now a bowl of meat noodles costs at least 1000 Mora. If Master Xuan hadn't put the brakes on us, I'm afraid in another twenty years, a bowl of ordinary meat noodles would cost 10000 Mora."

“That’s too scary!”

"Yes, if the market in Liyue is not properly regulated, it will be a man-made disaster. Then there will be a terrible situation where wages and salaries will not increase for ten years, but the price of consumer goods will increase tenfold. If you are busy doing tasks all day and the money you get is only enough to buy two apples. What do you think?"

"Hiss... I have goosebumps. This cannot let it become like this." Paimon rubbed his arms.

"Miss Baiwen, can you tell me something about Lin Zixuan?"

"You've asked the right person. No one knows better than me what that madman did. Eleven years ago..." Baiwen, who was driving bored, started to talk a lot.

It took nearly an hour to arrive at the door of the Golden House.

"Wow, this is too bright." Paimon looked at the golden house in the distance, which was illuminated by lights and had no blind spots. There were many cordons around it.

"After all, it's a mint, and there are a lot of Mora inside. If you drag away just one bag, it's enough for a person to survive well. So the defense here can be said to be the most stringent place in Liyue."

"It's guarded so strictly, why do we still need to help guard it?" Paimeng asked curiously.

"It's just a precaution. The Immortal Ancestor's Transfiguration you want to see is in there. Come with me!"

After many inspections, the group finally arrived under the Immortal Ancestor Fa Tui. Bai Wen took out a chair from the corner and placed it under the Immortal Ancestor Fa Tui.

"You will sit here tonight to guard the Immortal Ancestor's transformation."

Paimon rested his chin on his hand and thought. "Well, an empty room, with Mora on both sides and a large platform in front. Behind it is the Immortal Ancestor's Transfiguration, and Ying is sitting with her legs crossed under the Immortal Ancestor's Transfiguration. If someone attacks the front door, the first impression is: This must be the final big boss! I always feel that you have bad intentions."

"Pfft," Bai Wen laughed. "The chair also has a reclining function, so you guys should get some rest in the first half of the night. If someone really comes to seize the Immortal Ancestor's Transmutation, the responsibility of protecting it will be left to you. I'll leave first."

"What should we do? In the past, we were the ones who fought the bosses, but now others are the ones fighting us. Who will attack the Golden House?" Paimon complained.

"I don't know, but as long as I can guard this place tonight, I will know what I want to know tomorrow. No matter who he is, I will stop him." Ying closed her eyes and began to rest on the recliner.

Special Intelligence Processing Center.

"What's the current situation?" Ye Lan asked.

"The information of 74 spies has been changed. All the information they sent about Liyue's actions has been changed to say that everything is normal."

"Very good, keep monitoring!"

"Yes!"
