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

"Would you like to come with me to Teyvat?"

Originally, Esdeath came back here just because she was thinking about Kuroyon.

But after seeing everyone from the Hunter Corps, they couldn't help but make such an invitation.

Chapter 8: The Hill People of Winter Country

Winter Country.

"Good sister, it's a good sister!"

Toke trotted all the way to Ying's front.

Earlier in Liyue, he had made an agreement with his good sister to come to the Kingdom of Winter.

I originally thought that it would take a long time before I could see my good sister again. After all, the journey from Liyue to Winter Solstice is a very long journey.

But I didn’t expect that the good sister would come so soon.

"Ah, it's Tok!"

Paimon waved his hand.

Both she and Ying were brought here directly by Tartaglia, which is a bit like Ying can directly descend to any country she has visited.

Ying also mentioned this ability to Tartaglia and Chika.

The two of them probably guessed that Ying once possessed the essence of an immortal or higher level. Although the power cannot be displayed now, the essence is still there.

Just like the [Fantian Sword] in Qianhua's hand.

Qianhua, who is at the immortal level, cannot unleash the full power of the [Fantian Sword], but the essence of the [Fantian Sword] is there.

However, Ying is not from Teyvat, so it is hard to say whether her realm can be constant according to the standards of Teyvat.

Even Qianhua was a little unsure.

At least Ying and Kong had fought a few moves with the maintainer of justice.

It was sealed and fell asleep for just one minute.

If Ying's strength is comparable to that of a god, then the power of the Maintainer of Heavenly Justice can be said to be beyond imagination.

However, the gap between gods is just a tiny bit.

See Tok running over.

Ying half-bent over to greet him, "Tok, I have come to the winter solstice as promised."

"Yeah, great. I knew that a good sister would keep her promise."

"Tok, take your good sister to play snowballs, and then go to Tok's house for dinner together."

"After Tok showed his brother's letter to sister Tonya and the others, they also wanted to meet the good sister."

"Um, okay."

"But we have to wait a little while, otherwise Tok's brother won't be able to find us when he comes."

"!!!"

Tokdi's face was filled with joy and he jumped up happily. "So my brother is here too?"

"Where is he now?"

"How long will you stay at home this time?"

Listening to a series of questions, Ying did not feel annoyed at all, but answered them very patiently.

After sending her and Paimon to the Kingdom of Winter, Tartaglia returned to Liyue again.

I went to pick up Qianhua.

Originally, Tartaglia had not thought of bringing Chika along, but Chika asked her to do so. Chika seemed to be ready to come to Zhidong to meet Her Majesty the Queen.

Didn't have to wait too long.

Tartaglia's figure appeared beside them again.

Or rather, he appeared next to Tok.

It was not a coincidence that Ying and Paimon were able to meet Tok directly, but because Tartaglia landed near Tok.

Next to Tartaglia, Qianhua put a hand on his shoulder and looked at Zhidong, who had a powerful diplomatic team like the Fatui.

Here, normal temperature is basically below zero degrees.

If ordinary people from other countries come here, they will probably get sick on the same day and need a long time to adapt to the cold here.

But for the local residents in winter, such cold weather has long been commonplace for them.

Their resistance to cold is far higher than that of the people in the other six countries in the mortal world.

However, such coldness is nothing to Qianhua, who is at the immortal level, and Ying, who possesses three elemental powers.

As for Paimon, to be honest, she didn't quite understand what species Paimon was.

From her perspective as a player of the original god in her previous life, Paimon is her most important companion. He also has a close relationship with the Heavenly Justice Maintainer and the so-called Time Demon...

But if you look at it from the perspective of an immortal, Paimeng is just an ordinary emergency food.

It can just fly, talk, and hide in Ying's body, so it doesn't feel cold in the environment of Zhidong Country.

However, if Paimon is really related to the Sustainer of Justice, then it is normal that she cannot see it clearly.

At least Zhongli and the Queen didn't say anything about Paimon's existence, so there will probably be no problem.

"Hey, Tok is here too."

"Brother! Brother!"

The two brothers staged a touching reunion scene.

Qianhua watched with interest and walked to Ying's side. "By the way, have you ever come into contact with the Seven Heavens Statue?"

"Seven-day statue? Not yet."

"I was originally planning to have Tok take me to the Seven Days of Winter Statue. Is there anything I should be aware of?"

Ying didn't think that Qianhua came to stop her from touching the Seven Days Statue. After all, it was Qianhua who suggested that Tartaglia bring her to Solstice to directly touch the statue to obtain the fourth elemental power.

Now that Qianhua brought up this matter, it was probably because of something else.

"Well, wait for Tartaglia when you go to contact the Seven Days Statue later."

"I will also hide nearby and observe the matter of gaining elemental power by touching the Seven-Day Statue."

"To be honest, I'm still a little curious about this matter."

Ying nodded in agreement on this matter.

In fact, she also wanted to know why she was able to gain elemental power after coming into contact with the Seven Days Statue.

Ying was not the only one who had come into contact with the Seven-Day Statue, but other people would not have such a reaction.

Wait until we reach Dalia and reminisce about the past with Tok.

Chika and Tartaglia moved away until they could no longer see Tok and the others.

Qianhua couldn't help but complain, "You really don't want Tok to come into contact with the Fatui executive."

"Haha, after all, we are the dark side of the Kingdom of Winter."

"I don't want Tok to be exposed to these things until he's grown up."

"And aren't you satisfied with being the second best toy salesman in Liyue?"

"I think if I count based on my identity as a toy salesman, I should be the best one."

As he spoke, the area around Qianhua's body became like a dream bubble. One after another, illusory figures of Qianhua walked out of it and transformed into nearly a hundred water mirror technique clones.

The bodies of the clones solidified quickly, and then they each sought directions and hid themselves in various places in the Kingdom of Winter where the Hilichurls existed.

Essentially, a normal Water Mirror Technique clone cannot be created in so many numbers, but by weakening the combat capability of each clone, it is possible to create a large number of clones.

Tartaglia already had some guesses about the secretary's actions.

Moreover, when in Liyue, the secretary also specifically asked the Fatui to search for the distribution of the Hilichurls in the Kingdom of Winter.

Chapter 9 Qin: Aba Aba Aba

Outside Liyue Port.

Friends from neighboring countries came to this somewhat unfamiliar Liyue with gifts.

The so-called strangeness does not mean that Liyue’s architectural style has changed.

Instead, the Fatui's subordinates were guarding the outskirts of Liyue. These Fatui, who had been so arrogant in Mondstadt, actually started doing guard work in Liyue.

This made Qin, who came to Liyue, a little surprised for a moment.

She knew that one of the parties at the wedding was an executive officer of the Fatui, but this kind of thing seemed weird no matter how she looked at it.

The twelfth seat of the Fatui executive officers - Secretary.

If we really want to say something, we should probably add the word "newly appointed" in front of the word "executive". In just a few months, the Fatui added two executives.

They are the secretary of the twelfth seat, and the general of the thirteenth seat.

Jean, the acting leader of Mondstadt who had long been bullied by the Fatui, naturally knew all about this news.

Although regarding the wedding, no invitation was received from the Fatui executive, the secretary.

But as a neighboring country of Liyue and acting leader, she has dealt with Ganyu many times.

So naturally, he was invited by Ganyu to attend the wedding.

"It seems that after the fall of the God of Rock, Liyue is also facing pressure from the Fatui."

Qin's expression was serious, and she had a deeper understanding of the Fatui's subordinates outside Liyue Harbor.

There are seven kingdoms in the world, and each of them has a god.

Although the gods of Mondstadt are not in Mondstadt, the Queen of Winter should at least give Lord Barbatos some face.

But after the fall of the God of Rock, Liyue's situation looks worse than expected.

I made up my mind, "I have to have a good talk with Ningguang this time. It's not appropriate to use marriage to bring the two sides closer together."

As the immortal of Liyue and the secretary responsible for all seven stars, Ganyu’s weight is indeed enough.

But it would be terrible if the Fatui wanted to infiltrate Liyue in this way and control Liyue to some extent.

Whether now or in the future, Mondstadt and Liyue must unite against the common enemy.

Especially in Liyue, which is the most fertile place in the continent of Teyvat, it may have been targeted by other gods after the fall of the God of Rock.

Even if they have certain concerns, the gods will not take action personally, but before the new God of Rock appears.

After all, Liyue is about to face a storm.

I don't know which envoys the other four countries will send? How should Ningguang respond?

As for why it was Shikoku, it was because although Inazuma lifted the Eye Hunting Order, it was still in a state of isolation.

"I didn't expect that it would be Captain Qin himself who would come."

Ekaterina, wearing the Fatui standard mask, stepped forward.

As for one of the Four Guardians of the Winds and the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius, the Fatui naturally needed her, the second-in-command of the Liyue branch, to talk to.

"Ms. Ganyu's wedding is a big event. As a friend of the neighboring country, I naturally need to come in person."

"You must be Miss Ekaterina, right?"

"It's an honor to be recognized by Captain Qin." Ekaterina said politely, while extending her hand to lead Qin towards Liyue Harbor.

"I wonder if Captain Qin is going to take a rest first, or go meet Miss Ningguang?"

"I'm going to go visit Ningguang first. By the way, why haven't I seen Liyue's Thousand Rock Army?"

Although Qin didn't say it explicitly, Ekaterina knew what the other party wanted to ask, and there was nothing to hide.

"There are many friends coming to Liyue from all over the world now, and all the Thousand Rocks Army are maintaining order in the city."
