Genshin Impact, those big guys behind the scenes are all me.

Qin confirmed the list of envoys to Liyue, headed by Su Chen, and then sent a few more people to form an envoy group.

Anyway, it’s just a ceremony to invite immortals. The ceremony is very important, but the process is just that. What could go wrong?

After all, that was Liyue. It was very safe up and down, and it was strictly guarded by Qixing and Qianyan Army, as well as protected by the legendary immortals. Who dared to offend easily?

It’s not like some blind devil is going to cause trouble, right?

In fact, anyone can do the job. In the past, Su Chen was overqualified and thought he was just taking a vacation to relax.

"Okay!" Paimon looked forward to the next journey.

...

After the meeting, everyone left one after another.

The envoy group's trip is scheduled for tomorrow, and they will set off with Ying.

Then Qin stopped Su Chen and asked about the ground fire.

There used to be too many Silver Armored Army, but now they have disappeared without a trace. Regardless of the position of the leader or curiosity about the Earth Fire, Qin wants to find out.

Moreover, Su Chen had promised her before to help her connect with Dihuo.

"Come with me."

Su Chen did not refuse this time.

He will leave Mondstadt tomorrow, and before that he really should resolve the matter of the underground fire.

Led Qin, left the Knights, came to the east city of Mondstadt, and entered the stronghold of Earth Fire.

Along the way, Qin saw many people dressed in ordinary clothes, but upon closer inspection they did not look like ordinary Mondstadt people.

Ordinary people and guards can detect it from the smallest details. As the leader of the knights, Qin is even more keen in this regard.

"Are they all from Earth Fire?" Qin mused, "They are entrenched in this area and have almost blended into the lives of ordinary people. No wonder they can't be found anywhere."

Su Chen chuckled and said: "Do you know why it is called Earth Fire instead of Heaven Fire? The power of Earth Fire spreads all over this land. Wherever it goes, whether it is ordinary people, refugees or even wealthy businessmen and dignitaries, as long as they share the same goals and meet the conditions of conduct, Everyone can become a member of Earth Fire."

Qin thought thoughtfully: "That's why the Earth Fire has never been completely eliminated after so many years." After saying that, she looked at Su Chen and asked doubtfully: "You seem to know the Earth Fire very well?"

"I have a friend who is from the Earth Fire." Su Chen shrugged, "Master Captain, you won't kick me out of the Knights because of this, will you?"

"It's the acting captain." Qin corrected, "Of course not. Earthfire is not an evil force. I already know this, but I must know more before I can make the truth known to the public."

"Perhaps what Earth Fire wants is not the truth." Su Chen said calmly.

"What do you mean?"

The truth, as long as it is recognized by the Knights, means that the people of Mondstadt will no longer be prejudiced against Earthfire in the future.

But for people of Earth Fire, they don't care about outside comments. In other words, to join Earth Fire, you should put aside worldly opinions and implement Earth Fire's will with a pure heart.

Because Su Chen knows very well that the so-called truth is just a tool conveniently used by those in power. The truth can be changed at any time as long as it is beneficial to them.

"It's nothing, I just think you don't really understand Earth Fire enough."

Su Chen didn't say much.

When they arrived at the stronghold, the well-equipped members of the Earth Fire made Qin pay attention.

It's still disguised on the outside, but inside, it looks like it's holding an AK with a fierce look. Who wouldn't be afraid after seeing it?

Su Chen was also speechless. How did Alvin usually train?He obviously wants to be restrained and fierce, but why don't you bring out a group of criminals? You're afraid that others won't know who you are, right?

"Is it really okay if we just walk in like this?" Qin couldn't help but ask.

This is the Earth Fire Stronghold. How could she, the leader of the Knights, walk in so openly?Don't you inform them in advance?

The strange thing is that those people just stared at her, but no one stepped forward to block her way.

Su Chen smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm quite familiar with the leader here."

"The friend you mentioned..."

"Yes, he is the leader here."

"Yes, yes..."

Qin was still a little worried. She held the hilt of the sword with her right hand but did not pull it out.

Although she felt relieved about Su Chen, she was really worried about this place.

Deep into the stronghold, Qin met Alvin.

She remembered that the other party was the leader of Earth Fire.

Qin glanced at Su Chen in surprise.

I asked you to contact me for help. Can you contact the boss directly?You are so awesome.

Su Chen smiled and said: "Okay, my mission is completed, let's talk next... Oh, by the way, Qin, if you want to know more about Rustam, you can ask him to take you to the secret room. "

Alvin glanced at Su Chen, who had already told him about Qin.

Although from a personal subjective point of view, Alvin doesn't have a good impression of the Knights.

But after all, it is related to the future development of Earthfire. Cooperating with the Knights to jointly protect Mondstadt was Rustan's original will.

Under the light, there must be a dark side.

That's where the Earth Fire goes.

...

Soon after, Su Chen left the Earth Fire stronghold and returned to his residence.

As soon as they reached the courtyard, Arya was waiting at the door.

Seeing him coming back, he hurriedly ran to greet him.

"Teacher, Miss Rosalind is here." Arya whispered. "She looks very anxious."

"I see."

Su Chen nodded.

Walking into the house, the lady was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding tea in her hand, but she was not in any mood to drink tea.

Ever since the heart of God was emptied out last time, the lady’s whole body has been in bad shape.

Why not?

how come? ? ?

Although, the heart of God is not in Wendy.

But no matter how intimidating she was, there was nothing she could do if Wendy didn't say anything.

After much thought later, the lady felt that Wendy must have secretly handed over the Heart of God to her.

After all, Ying's situation is very special. She doesn't have the Eye of God but can use elemental power, and can also solve the dragon disaster. It's clear that she has a special relationship with Wendy, and maybe she has a big secret hidden in her body.

But what is more likely is that this irresponsible God of Wind has already lost the Heart of God somewhere during these thousand years, perhaps exchanging it for wine.

So the lady started emo.

Without the Heart of God, she would not be able to complete the mission entrusted to her by Her Majesty the Queen.

Originally, the lady didn't want to trouble Su Chen, but in the past two days, she tried every means to investigate, but still couldn't find the Heart of God.

Then the lady thought that if she could not get the Heart of God, other executives might be sent from the Winter Kingdom. If her relationship with Su Chen was discovered, the latter would be involved in unnecessary trouble. among.

Face the executive crisis alone!

So the lady could only come to Su Chen to explain the situation.

"Rustan!"

The lady stood up.

"It's troublesome."

"Don't worry, the sky is not falling." Su Chen stretched out his hand to signal, "Sit down."

The lady sat down again and patiently recounted what had happened before.

I said some heartfelt words to Wendy, but I didn’t get the heart of God. What should I do?

"... Rustan, Wendy is Barbatos. You should have got the news about this, right? He has been secretly using travelers to solve the dragon disaster. He only confessed his identity not long ago. I followed them secretly, and then ...Um?"

The lady's eyes fell on the coffee table.

Just looking at it blankly, Su Chen took out something like a chess piece from his arms.

"Heart of God?"

She heard the Queen describe it, so she knew, but...

The lady raised her head again and looked at Su Chen, who looked like, 'Is this what you're talking about? ' She didn't know where to start asking for a moment.

"Wendy gave it to me before." Su Chen smiled slightly, "Later I found out it was the heart of God."

"Ah, so, but...why would he give it to you?!"

The lady was confused.

She tried so hard to steal the heart of God, but that old ghost Barbatos actually gave it to Rustan? ? ?

"I don't know about that. He didn't say it and I didn't bother to ask. It might be the entrance fee for joining the Earth Fire. Haha~ I'll just keep it anyway. Maybe I can save my life at a critical moment." Su Chen shrugged, "Yes. It’s better than nothing, right?”

Miss:"..."

She wanted to say, Rustan, this is the heart of God, not the heart of a shrimp or a pig.

"You should have told me earlier." The lady was a little dissatisfied, "so that I wouldn't be busy running around like an idiot and be teased by that Barbatos guy again."

"Ha~ I'm really sorry. I just don't want the situation to deviate from the plan. Anyway, you have taught him a lesson, so just think of it as a way to let go of your resentment."

Su Chen originally planned to talk to the lady.

But then I gave up.

On the one hand, he is not prepared to change the original plot development to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Secondly, since Wendy didn't intend to say anything, which proved that the old drunkard knew what he was thinking, there was no need for Su Chen to do unnecessary things.

As for being tricked by the lady in the end, maybe Barbatos is a jerk, and that’s what he wanted.
