I, Manye's best friend, face General Raiden at the beginning

I arrived at the Glazed Pavilion with Miss Ekaterina in a familiar manner.

The waiter at the door said politely, "It is a pleasure to see you again, sir. It is a great honor for our store."

"The private room is ready, and the general is waiting for you two."

No need for anyone to lead the way.

As if returning home, Tartaglia and Ekaterina came to the private room together.

Push the door open and enter.

As soon as you see it, you can see a tall woman with long blue hair like a waterfall standing there.

That was General Esdeath, the last of the Thirteen Executive Officers of the Fatui.

"Lord General."

Ekaterina greeted politely.

But Esdeath had no intention of turning around, her eyes fixed on one place.

The same is true for Tartaglia.

There was a man in a white robe sitting in a seat in front of Esdeath, facing the door.

The man was playing with a divine eye of thunder element in his hand.

Just the first sight of the man gave Tartaglia a sense of calm and tranquility.

His face was hidden by a mask.

It was a mask that was quite common in Liyue opera.

But at the first glance at the mask, Tartaglia's breathing suddenly stopped.

Because the image depicted on the mask looks like...

Emperor Rock!

Chapter 49: Zhongli is the Rock King (End of this Volume)

Liuli Pavilion.

When Tartaglia saw the mask, he was stunned.

After so many years of selling toys in Liyue, he had met the Geo King.

But those were all seen at the ceremony of inviting the immortals.

Even if you don't participate in the ceremony of inviting the immortal, you can still see its dragon body manifest from a distance.

But this was the first time I saw the Rock King in person at such a close distance.

He did not doubt whether someone was impersonating the Rock King.

Because in Liyue, no one dared to do that under the watchful eyes of the Geo King.

And that feeling just now.

Even I can be infected by that feeling of peace and tranquility.

At least it can be done by those above the level of immortals.

"Haha, I didn't expect to see Emperor Yanwang here."

"Though you probably do."

"But let me introduce myself anyway, Young Master, the Fatui executive officer."

"I wonder what you want us to do?"

Tartaglia's tone was a little serious.

But he showed no fear at all, even when he was in Liyue facing the Geo King.

If possible, he would also like to have a fight with this God of War.

Even though there was no chance of winning, even though he might be killed on the spot, he was not afraid at all.

And behind him also lies His Majesty and the gods.

Besides, since he appeared in the Glass Pavilion at the same time as Esdeath.

I'm afraid there is some kind of tacit understanding between him and Her Majesty the Queen.

"sit down."

In Tartaglia's sight, he saw Geo Emperor pointing to the seat next to him and speaking.

There were three cups of steaming tea placed on the three seats.

It seemed as if he had already noticed their arrival.

In that case, Tartaglia sat down casually in a seat.

He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Seeing that neither Esdeath nor Ekaterina moved, he chuckled and called out.

"Since the host here has invited us, let's sit together."

Although it was Esdeath who invited me to come to the Glass Pavilion.

Although the boss of Liuliting is not Emperor Yanwang.

But as the god of Liyue, Geo Emperor is, in a sense, the master of Liyue Harbor.

He was not wrong in saying that.

After hearing what Tartaglia said, Ekaterina came back to her senses.

When she first came in, she didn't notice the other person sitting there.

It was only after the young master spoke that she came to her senses.

Compared to the young master, she is usually in charge of all matters of the Fatui subordinates and often walks around Liyue Harbor. How could she not recognize the mask of the Geo King?

Although as a diplomatic envoy of Zhidong.

But she had come to Liyue to work for many years and had long remembered the Emperor's power.

I understand that even Her Majesty the Queen would not want to provoke this.

Nor will it allow the Fatui to start a war in Liyue.

So when she realized that the person in front of her was the Rock King himself, she, who was usually mature and steady, couldn't help but lose her mind.

Even with the words of the young master.

She also sat down next to Tartaglia very cautiously.

He didn't say a word, but just sat there like a child, holding the teacup quietly in his hands.

Esdeath smiled softly.

Like Tartaglia, he sat down without much fear.

There are so many strong people in this world that they make her, the strongest person in the empire, look like a joke.

There are actually six people as powerful as Her Majesty the Queen.

The person before you is someone that even Your Majesty needs to treat with caution.

The corners of her mouth curled up, she really wanted to fight with this guy.

"So, what is the matter that the Emperor wants us to come here for?"

Tartaglia asked bluntly.

"I have a contract with the Ice Queen. I will fake my death during the Summoning Immortals Ceremony to test whether Liyue is ready to welcome the new era."

"suspended animation?"

"Does it seem like we need to stand on the opposite side of Liyue?"

"It's really interesting."

Tartaglia immediately figured out the key.

If the Rock Emperor dies, the Seven Stars of Liyue and the immortals in Jueyunjian will definitely take action.

Just thinking about the scene of fighting with them makes people feel excited.

Especially the secretary...

The executive who had always been in Liyue did not appear here.

This means that Emperor Geo acknowledged that the Secretary would stand on Liyue's side.

Or are you on Ganyu's side?

Sure enough, their every move in Liyue and even in the other world was watched by the Geo King Emperor.

"Indeed."

"But your power is not enough to stand against the entire Liyue."

"It is also impossible to make the Immortal and the Seven Stars feel pressured."

While talking.

Talismans appeared around Emperor Rock King.

There were probably dozens of talisman papers floating in the air.

Tartaglia could even feel the surge of divine power from the talisman paper.

Give him a feeling of needing to be looked up to.

"Is this the Record of No Taboos?"

"Exactly."

"All you need to do is hold the power of the Record of No Taboos and borrow the authority of the Ice Queen to temporarily awaken and unseal the demon that His Excellency Gu Yun has suppressed."

"Guyun Pavilion..."

Tartaglia chewed on the place name, and immediately thought of Lord Guyun suppressing the Whirlpool Demon.

He chuckled and said, "As expected of Lord Yan in person, this is really a generous move."

The Fatui were once fortunate enough to obtain a copy of the Book of No Taboos.

And gave it to the doctor to imitate.

But because it is too old, only a tiny bit of its divine power remains, so there has been no progress in its imitation.

What's more, copying the "No Taboos" record is just an attempt, without any hope.

How can mortals or even immortals understand or imitate the divine power of gods?

Ekaterina even forgot to breathe while listening to these words.

Compared to Esdeath, who didn't know about Lord Guyun's powerful demon god, she could understand the horror better.

"So, our mission is to release the Whirlpool Demon?"

"To be honest, I would rather have a fair fight than resorting to tricks like this."

Emperor Yan couldn't help but chuckle when he said this.

As if he had anticipated what Tartaglia would say, "There is indeed such a mission."

"I need you to stop Fujiwara Chika from intervening."

"?!"

Dadalia was stunned.

Doesn’t He want the Secretary to stand on Liyue’s side?

Although it would be nice to have a legitimate fight with the secretary, but...
