Original God: I can earn experience points

Chapter 223 "Young Master" (two in one)

Liyue Harbor, Yujing Terrace.

Emperor Rock King was murdered, and Lord Ningguang of "Tianquan Star" ordered the Qianyan Army to block the entire area and check everyone at the scene one by one, starting with those who looked more suspicious.

Soon the Qianyan Army asked Li Qiuzhi and others.

"Who are you? Where do you come from?"

Because they felt that Li Qiuzhi and the others seemed very powerful, in order to prevent suspicious people from escaping.

The Qianyan Army Captain surrounded them with a Qianyan Army squad consisting of several people and asked in a serious tone.

".Uh."

Faced with such a powerful formation, even the usually eloquent Paimon was frightened and hid behind Ying to avoid saying the wrong thing.

Ying glanced at Li Qiuzhi and gestured that it was up to him.

Li Qiuzhi rubbed her soft hands, nodded his head to indicate that there was no problem, and then calmly said to the Qianyan Army in front of him:
“We came from Mondstadt, and we are honorary knights of the Knights of Favonius.

"I am currently traveling through the Seven Kingdoms, and I happened to hear that the annual 'Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony' in Liyue Harbor is about to begin, so I wanted to come here today to see the demeanor of Lord Geo King.

“But who knew this would happen.

"Lord Rock King is very powerful. It is impossible for a few of us with low strength to assassinate him. Besides, there is no reason to do so."

He spoke a long paragraph and revealed all the information that needed to be revealed. There shouldn't be any doubts.

"The Honorary Knight of Mondstadt?" Captain Qianyan showed a look of surprise.

Such a big thing happened in the neighboring country Mondstadt some time ago, and naturally the news reached Liyue. Of course, he also heard about the deeds of the two honorary knights.

It seemed that one of them was from Liyue on our side, and I didn’t know why he went to the neighboring country at that time.

Of course, they have no control over these trivial matters.

And looking at it this way, they do seem to match. I didn't expect that several honorary knights looked so young.

"Yes, I think it should be easy for the Thousand Rocks Army to investigate our identities."

Li Qiuzhi said in the same serious tone.

The implication is that they would not joke about an identity that is so easily exposed.

"Well, you guys wait here for a moment. I'll go inform Lady Ningguang. She should know whether your identities are real or not."

The captain of the Qianyan Army nodded, then told several soldiers with spears next to them to continue watching, and he went to inform Lady Ningguang.

As the "Tianquan Star", Lord Ningguang is extremely sensitive to everything that happens in the world.

I must have heard about the specific appearance of the two honorary knights who assisted the Knights of Favonius in repelling the Wind Dragon from the intelligence personnel, and even seen their photos.

So just in case, it would be better if you ask Lady Ningguang to come and take a look in person.

It didn't take long.

The captain of the Qianyan army came back soon, but he did not bring "Tianquan Star" Ningguang with him. He first nodded to the soldiers next to him to indicate that it was correct.

Then he said to Li Qiuzhi and the others:

“Lord Ningguang is currently investigating the cause of Lord Emperor’s death and cannot come over for the time being.

"But she said that she had noticed you when the ceremony started, and there is indeed no problem with your identity."

"Great, we can leave now."

Paimon, who was hiding behind, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that everything was fine and quickly spoke.

"No, not for now." The captain of Qianyan Army shook his head, "Although you no longer have any suspicion, Yujingtai is still under blockade, and no one can leave until the investigation is completed.

"You can take a rest aside for a while."

After saying that, Captain Qianyan led the rest of the soldiers to continue questioning the next suspicious person.

"How can this be? We have already proven that we are not the murderer."

Paimon dropped his shoulders somewhat disappointedly.

"After all, such a big thing happened. This is understandable. Anyway, it's good enough that I don't have to be suspected of being the murderer."

Li Qiuzhi also breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned his head to look at Ying and continued:

"Well, just say you don't have to run away."

Ying didn't answer. She pulled back her left hand, crossed her arms across her chest, and a slightly helpless expression appeared on her pretty fair face.

See how proud you are.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, thanks to the efforts of the Qianyan Army, Yujingtai quickly interrogated the identities of everyone present.

Unfortunately, the so-called murderer was never found.

There was no other way but to lift the blockade of the scene and let everyone go back. At the same time, "Tianquan Star" Ningguang also expressed that she would investigate the truth of the murder of Lord Rock King as soon as possible.

Many Liyue locals and foreigners at the scene left with various speculations.

One can imagine what kind of sensation it would cause to the entire continent of Teyvat when the news of the murder of the Rock King spread.

Li Qiuzhi, Ying and Paimeng also left with everyone.

He wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Ningguang about the "bicycle", but then he thought about it and thought it would be too rude to discuss business with someone right after the Emperor was murdered.

Besides, Lao Zhang hasn’t made the sample yet, so if he wants to be taken seriously, he’d better bring the finished product.

"Hey, hello everyone."

Just as Li Qiuzhi and his companions were leaving Yujingtai along the stone road and turning a corner, a young male voice called out to them.

Several people looked in the direction of the source of the sound.

They found a handsome man with orange hair and wearing grey clothes and pants, leaning against the wall and calling out to them.

"What's the matter, foreign boy, what can I do for you?"

Paimon touched his crown and looked at him puzzledly.

"Haha, you are also a foreigner to this country. How can foreigners call other foreigners foreigners on foreign land?"

The handsome man with orange hair and gray clothes couldn't help but laugh twice.

The Fatui executive officer "Chief" Tartaglia showed up unexpectedly. It turned out that he had been paying attention to them for a long time.

Li Qiuzhi secretly thought it was troublesome.

"Hey, this is not important, if you have something to say, just tell us, otherwise we're leaving!"

Paimon looked at his smile and angrily used his "Void Stomp" stunt and said.

"Well, I'm sorry, you can call me 'Young Master', just like 'Madam'. I'm also an executive officer of the Fatui."

"Young Master," Tartaglia said with a narrowed smile.

"what?!"

Ying and Paimon were startled by the words spoken by such a frank "young master", and then they stared at him warily.

If she hadn't known that this was Liyue Harbor, where fighting and injuring others were prohibited, she would have taken out her edgeless sword long ago!

"Uh, don't be so nervous. I'm not here to cause you any trouble, although I would like to compete with you in martial arts."

Tartaglia spread his hands to show that he had no hostility.

"Even so, we have nothing to say to you Fatui."

Li Qiuzhi's eyes gradually turned golden. [Level: 75]

As expected of an executive officer of the Fatui, even though he is at the bottom of the list, he is still capable of over level 70.

Li Qiuzhi estimated that his current strength was barely enough to defeat an Abyss Mage of around level 60.

But they still cannot defeat beings above level 70.

After all, when the level is high, every level up makes a huge difference, but with Ying around, the two of them will not be crushed, unless he uses that "Demon King Armor".

So Li Qiuzhi felt a little more confident when talking to him.

"Oh, my intuition tells you that these eyes seem to have seen through me."

Tartaglia smiled and kindly reminded:
"But what you see with your eyes is only the strength level of my body. If you underestimate my fighting ability because of this, you will suffer a loss!"

Li Qiuzhi did not answer, of course he knew this.

After all, he himself is only level 48, but with his skills and expertise, he can indeed challenge stronger beings.

However, the "young master" has the talent of "mastering all martial arts", so he must be very good at martial arts, and fighting against opponents of higher levels should not be a problem.

Seeing that the others were still on guard, Tartaglia continued without letting them know:
"Do you really think that the Rock King Emperor was assassinated? He is the God of War. Who can assassinate him so easily, unless..."

He didn't finish his words, and showed a meaningful expression.

It seems to be letting Li Qiuzhi and the others use their imagination.

"You mean the 'Seven Stars of Liyue'!" The fluorescent amber pupils suddenly shrank, as if he had thought of some incredible answer.

The corners of Tartaglia's mouth curved slightly:

"Of course this is just speculation."

"But even if that's the case, it has nothing to do with us. It's not our turn to interfere in other people's internal affairs. Or do you have some other plans?"

Li Qiuzhi chuckled and spoke bluntly.

"Haha, it seems you misunderstood me.

"I have only heard a little about your deeds in Mondstadt, and I have been paying attention to you for a long time during the ceremony just now.

“It can be seen that you came here with a purpose to participate in the ‘Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals’.

"If I'm not mistaken, he should want to see Emperor Yanwang for something."

Tartaglia crossed her arms in the gray sleeves and spoke in a more confident tone.

Hearing his words, Ying frowned and said:
"So what?"

"I just happened to meet you and wanted to give you a suggestion." Tartaglia spread his hands to show that he had no other intentions, and then he paused and continued, "Since the Rock King met with an accident, you naturally can't ask him anything.

"But it would probably be the same if he went to look for the 'Three-Eyed Five-Manifested Immortals' who have known him for a long time.

"If you are willing to tell them the news of the assassination of Emperor Rock, I'm sure they will not hesitate to answer your questions."

Having said so much, the original purpose was to use them to cause conflicts between the immortals and the Seven Stars, and then take the opportunity to find the remains of the Rock King and steal the Heart of God.

Li Qiuzhi, who was familiar with the plot of the game, easily saw through the "young master's" thoughts.

This was something he would never have expected.

Ying was a little hesitant.

The sudden death of Emperor Yanwang did indeed put a damper on her plan to find out who the god was that had taken her brother away.

If there is still a chance, she certainly doesn't want to miss it.

Moreover, they had originally planned to look for the immortal, but the immortal's traces were hard to find and it was not so easy to find them. It was just a matter of seeing if they could find the immortal's disciple, who was Chongyun's aunt.

"If you are worried about not being able to find the Immortal, I can lend you something."

Seeing that Ying seemed a little moved, Tartaglia said with a smile.

"Hmm? Something? Is it a token of trust?" Paimon showed a curious expression.

"almost."

Tartaglia nodded.

"So what kind of compensation do we need to give if we want to borrow your token?" Li Qiuzhi asked with a smile.

If I'm not mistaken, what he said should be "A Hundred Taboos".

This is indeed a good thing. With it, you can basically guarantee that you can see the immortal. There is nothing wrong with running errands for him for it.

Anyway, even if they don't do this, "Young Master" will find someone else to do it.

The "young master" thought he was planning everything.

In fact, the old man, Lord Emperor, is watching secretly, and he also needs "Young Master" to help him bring the conflict between immortals and humans to the surface.

Then take this opportunity to let the immortals who only know how to use force interfere less in Liyue.

Let Liyue thoroughly usher in an era of human rule. This is the trend of development, and it is also the reason why Emperor Geo pretended to die and retired.

"Haha, no need for any reward, just return it to me after use."

Tartaglia smiled, then took out a talisman with black writing on a yellow background from the Eye of God and handed it to Li Qiuzhi.

"It's called 'The Scroll of No Taboos'. If you hold it and go to the Immortal Cave, the immortals will be able to sense it. If nothing goes wrong, they will come out to see you."

After "Master" Tartaglia handed the things to them, he said that he had something else to do and told them that they could find him at the Northland Bank and then left.

He could sense that these people were already suspicious of him.

But what he said was true, and the benefits they offered were great, so I think they would not refuse to go.

"What should we do? Should we listen to him and tell the Immortals about the Emperor's murder? I have a feeling that this Fatui executive is thinking of something bad!"

Paimeng asked as he looked at Li Qiuzhi who was holding the talisman.

As for Ying, she would definitely be inclined to go. After all, Emperor Yanwang had been killed, and only by asking the immortals would she be able to find out who the god was who had kidnapped her brother.

"We are going to find the Immortal anyway. Since he is so kind to lend us the things, there is no reason for us to refuse, right?"

Li Qiuzhi thought about it and said with a smile.

The time I agreed with Xingqiu Chongyun to go find the immortal was three days after the "Ceremony of Inviting the Immortal", so there was no rush to go there now.

In the following time, Li Qiuzhi and Ying still took on some commissions to complete at the Adventurer's Association during the day.

By the way, get familiar with the Liyue area.

In the evening, I rushed back to Liyue Harbor and returned to my home in Mondstadt through the "teleportation anchor" to rest.

During this time, he finally met Fischl and Oz who came over to see if he had returned.

When Fischl found out that Li Qiuzhi had returned, he was naturally happy after all, they hadn't seen each other for many days.

During dinner, Li Qiuzhi told her some of his experiences in Liyue Harbor.

When it's time to sleep, they naturally sleep in the same quilt, express their love to each other and ease their longing for each other.

Two days passed like this. In addition to earning more than 100,000 Mora from the commission, Li Qiuzhi also gained more than 3,000 experience points.

Today is the day that Lao Zhang said he would be able to produce the "bicycle" sample.

Li Qiuzhi and the others were of course eager to inspect the goods; after all, this was related to his and Ying's plan to make money.

Well. And there is also Paimon’s “feast” freedom.
