Original God, but the real world

Chapter 12-12-Kaia's Speculation

Jiang Qing is very purposeful and there is no room for concealment.

"Mr. Jiang used to live in Liyue. The people there must live a richer and safer life, right?"

Kaiya looked at Jiang Qing, his expression calm and not in a hurry.

At this point in time, he still didn't know Jiang Qing's identity. Although he had the corresponding intelligence network, he would not pay special attention to an ordinary businessman on weekdays.

At least in the past, Jiang Qing was indeed an ordinary businessman.

"That's true." Jiang Qing couldn't flatter Mond, "Because the Emperor always stands high to guide Liyue, and the immortals who follow the Emperor also have outstanding strength, the lives of the people of Liyue are indeed better."

There is really no need to force compliments on Mondstadt, as the dragon disaster has hit it.

"【Golden House】ah..."

Kaia remembered something.

The currency used in the seven nations is Mora, and in all of Teyvat, only the [Golden House] in Liyue Harbor is responsible for producing Mora.

Mora is not only a currency for transactions, but also has an irreplaceable position in alchemy. It is the medium for performing many alchemical techniques.

Precisely because of his wide range of functions and the fact that Morax behind Liyue is the most respected ancient demon god among the Seven Gods, Morax was able to easily obtain the sole position.

Kaeya has not done much research on this aspect, but there is no doubt that at least half of Liyue’s current economic hegemony is based on Mora’s unique status.

To be honest I do feel a little envious, but not much.

Jiang Qing was also looking at Kaia.

Kaia's life experience makes him lean towards strength.

He is a remnant of Kanreya.

Kanreya was once a country with highly developed civilization and military power. Without the protection of the devil, they fought against the seven gods and finally dragged down two rulers as burial objects.

The specific news was naturally vague, and Jiang Qing had no idea.

But there is no doubt that the Kanreyan people should be very clear that there is no price for power.

The same is true for Kaia.

Rather than saying that he values ​​the Golden House and Mora, it would be more accurate to say that he is optimistic about the God of Rock and his immortals.

Wealth and prosperity are just embellishments of Liyue, but the latter is the key to Liyue's ranking first among the Seven Kingdoms.

Nothing else, just the ability to fight.

Kaiya quickly came to his senses and put his skilled smile back on his face.

When talking about Liyue, it is inevitable to mention the God of Rock Morax, so I thought too much about it for a moment, which is tantamount to neglecting the guests.

"Liyue's prosperity and wealth are indeed enviable, but this is not entirely due to the Rock God. I think the contributions of the Seven Stars and Eight Gates should not be underestimated."

Kaiya said briefly: "I heard that Mr. Jiang is also a businessman from Liyue. I wonder what kind of business you were engaged in before?"

"As you know, Liyue Harbor is prosperous and always ahead of the Seven Kingdoms."

His questions were polite and not sharp. Even though he had a lot of control, Kaia still greeted him with a smile.

"But Mond is not doing so well." Kaeya sighed. "Mond has been hit by disasters recently. Wind dragons have attacked, and monsters have become more active. These have had a huge impact on Mond's environment. The acting leader is also considering how to deal with these troubles after solving the Wind Dragon."

"Do you think there is any experience that we can learn from?"

Kaia's voice was sincere because these were the facts.

The background of the game is that a wind dragon attacks and Mond is in chaos.

If we replace this background with reality, there is an oversized bomber bombing Mondstadt day and night.

After the bomber Wind Dragon attacked, countless monsters followed closely and harassed the city-states around Mondstadt.

Merchants had to stop traveling because of the interruption of trade routes.

Mondstadt is not the only city-state. Outside of Mondstadt, the Knights of Favonius have many other towns that need their care.

But now they can barely protect themselves, let alone protect more innocent people.

No wonder Jean has a headache.

This is just the beginning of the chaos. After that, we have to consider how to deal with the Wind Dragon, as well as the post-disaster handling and repairs.

But if you really want to say that Kaia is in any trouble, then you are just overthinking it.

He is not an orthodox Mondstadt person, he just has friendships and contacts with certain people in Mondstadt.

"You're joking."

Jiang Qing was more sincere and sad than him.

"I don't have any experience to share."

Kaia became interested.

As the captain of the cavalry, it was natural for him to worry about Mond.

But Jiang Qing sounded more devoted than him.

"These things are hard to talk about..." Jiang Qing hadn't finished speaking.

"Please wait a moment." Kaiya's face straightened. "If my words remind you of something bad, please forgive me for my unintentional mistake."

"I don't know you very well, and I hope my presumptuous words won't cause you too much trouble."

Tsk... You've already said all the words, what do you want me to say?
Jiang Qing is certainly more devoted than Kaiya.

Kaiya was fine, but Jiang Qing was different.

He didn't even need to recall his original body's emotions and memories. Just the moment he was with Inazuma on the run, he was able to be more genuine and devoted than Kaeya.

After all, he really escaped death.

"How could that be?" Jiang Qing complained, "In fact, I have been wanting to talk to someone about these things for a long time."

"It is my great fortune to meet Captain Kaia."

Kaiya readily accepted: "Then I'm all ears."

"My family was considered a wealthy family in Liyue, but my father encountered a shipwreck and had problems with cash flow, and was almost bankrupt."

"In order to solve the funding problem, I went out to sea for the second time. Although I successfully arrived in Inazuma, I happened to encounter Inazuma issuing a national isolation order and an eye hunting order."

Kaiya knew the rest even though Jiang Qing didn't say it.

After the isolation order was issued, no foreign merchants were able to escape, not to mention their ships and other belongings...there was a high probability that they were seized.

This is really... bad luck.

"Your situation is really... admirable."

Kaiya's trust in Jiang Qing increased a little.

This identity background alone basically eliminates the possibility of intentionality.

Because there are too many coincidences.

The order to close the country was an order from the Thunder God, and no one could tell for sure what the Thunder General was thinking.

Jiang Qing's identity is obviously real.

Kaia only had one question left.

Is the person using Jiang Qing's identity really Jiang Qing?

The cavalry captain's eyes were filled with inquiry, and he took note of the bitterness on Jiang Qing's face.

Before this, it was indeed Jiang Qing's identity, such as his wealthy family, the shipwreck he encountered, and the order to close the country.

This is enough to prove that there is no problem with Jiang Qing's identity, because his experience in Liyue can be verified in detail and there is no problem.

If even this doesn't match up, then there's really no need to be wary of this person.

The question is, what if Jiang Qing had already died in Inazuma?

The person standing in front of him was not Jiang Qing, but a person using Jiang Qing's name and face but with other intentions.

This is not impossible.

Having been doing this kind of work for many years, Kaia is used to seeing all kinds of people.

For them, replacing identities is a common occurrence. Everyone has three or five identities to protect themselves, which they use to escape at critical moments or to carry out tasks.

This kind of thing is common. If Kaeya can do it, the Fatui can do it too.

Yes, he suspected that this was a mole sent by the Fatui.

For the Fatui, it is very easy to send someone to replace the identity of an ordinary merchant.

What's more, this merchant was living in Inazuma, so any difference that happened to him afterwards could be explained by the great changes he encountered.

It is normal for the rules and methods of doing things, habits and reactions to change when faced with major changes.

【有意思，太有意思了。】

Although there is no direct evidence, frankly speaking, there is no need for any evidence to doubt the Fatui.

If someone does something bad, you can usually directly suspect the Cult or the Fatui.

This is Jiang Qing’s impression as a player.

Kaeya's reaction was due to the Fatui's relentless pressure during this period.

The diplomatic pressure must mean that they want something, so their actions cannot be just verbal condemnation.

Everyone knows that being loud is useless.

Diplomacy is just a means; the core is still power.

But Mond does not fear the winter.

The expedition led by Grand Commander Falgar left Mondstadt empty, but Falgar and his men were not dead after all, so Mondstadt's strength did not decline as a result.

Mond still has the power and possibility to fight back.

The Fatui can be tough, but they can't really force Mondstadt. They need other means to achieve their goals.

So, will Jiang Qing be a supplementary means for the Fatui?
