"Go through this valley and return to Liyue Port. Today..."

The sound of mechanical operation interrupted Keqing's words. Arthur also heard the sound of mechanical operation, but the surroundings were empty, and there was no such thing as a ruin guard.

"boom!"

When Arthur and Keqing saw the sudden missile attack, they jumped to both sides and escaped the sneak attack. They also found the identity of the attacker.

Because the enemy appeared from above, a ruin hunter, attacking the two of them from high altitude.

Because the two were separated, the relic hunters launched an aerial bombardment below. Now that the enemy had been discovered, they could concentrate on dealing with it. Keqing took off the bun on her head again, and then injected thunder elements to shoot at the relic hunters. Arthur also picked up his bow, preparing to break the Ruin Hunter's core and paralyze him.

However, when neither of the two attacks came into contact with the ruin hunter, the ruin hunter itself lowered its height. The wind arrow shot out by Arthur passed over the ruin hunter, and Keqing's headband also appeared. On the top of the ruins hunter's head.

But the changes in the relic hunters made the two of them realize that they had mistakenly understood one thing, that is, the original mechanical sound was not made by the high-altitude relic hunters.

After the relic hunter disappeared, a lavender halo appeared around it. After seeing the relic hunter approaching, Keqing just used his Sky Parade to try to defeat the relic hunter, but only caused The damage was not enough to defeat the ruin hunter.

"Be careful, the mechanical sound just now was a mechanism. Now the ruin hunter has greatly increased the lightning element resistance."

Just when the relic hunter was about to launch an attack when Ke Qing's old strength had been exhausted and new strength had yet to be regenerated, he slashed directly in front of him and pulled the relic hunter in front of him.

The appearance of the ruin hunters and the agency is definitely not a coincidence. Someone should be expecting an ambush, and there is a high probability that the ambush will be him.

When the relic hunter was forced to land and put his hands together to use Arthur's sword, Arthur disappeared directly. When he reappeared in the next moment, he had already come to Keqing's side. The relic hunter had been transformed into a hedgehog. .

It was Arthur who used Time Stop after the relic hunter came over and penetrated the relic hunter. Since it has been guessed that the appearance of this relic hunter was not a coincidence, then simply destroying the core is not enough. It must be completely destroyed to prevent it. Then be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.

After searching, the two did not find any traces on the remains of the relic hunter. Instead, they found a mechanism that strengthened the relic hunter under the platform next to the valley.

There were also no traces of intentional setting. It seemed to be an accident. The old mechanism was accidentally triggered, and at the same time it attracted the ruin hunters to launch an attack on the two of them.

"Are they fools?"

The two of them unanimously suspected the Fools. After all, in terms of technology, only the Fools had the chance to engineer this accident. Ke Qing had not heard that the Fools had a mechanism that could control the ruins guards, but the plot of the young master did indeed exist. Ruin guards controlled by fools.

But why did the fools attack me?Or is it that Ke Qing is the one who is going to attack, and he is the one who is affected?

Chapter 68 Misunderstanding

Neither he nor Keqing could think of any reason for the Fools to launch an attack. After all, no matter who of the two was injured, it would not bring any benefit to the Fools. As for getting rid of the two people, if the Fools really wanted to get rid of them Two people and one relic hunter are not enough. Even a relic hunter strengthened by the mechanism is not enough to kill two people.

If Ke Qing is injured and returns to Liyue, he will definitely investigate the activities of the Fools immediately. It will not be beneficial to the next behavior of the Fools. As for himself, the biggest communication is the Heart of God, but he has already combined it with The lady made the deal.

"The Qiuqiu people who appeared inexplicably, the treasure thieves who gathered strangely, and the relic hunters who attacked, who are they trying to cause trouble before the ceremony of the Immortal Ceremony?"

Keqing found that the recent events that happened one after another seemed to be related, but she couldn't connect them together.

No one can explain Keqing's question, and Keqing is no longer in the mood to continue cleaning up. Now she just wants to return to Liyue immediately to see if she can learn about the connection between the three from others.

The two of them left the scene without looking back. After arriving on the official road, the two of them returned to Liyue Port before dark.

"Arthur, thank you for your help. If possible, when I find out who is behind the scenes, can you help me deal with the follow-up of this incident?"

"Okay, I also want to know what the mastermind behind the scenes is doing."

"Thank you. I don't know what kind of reward you want. From now on, your consumption in Liyue will be sent to my house as my reward."

After saying that, he rushed directly to Yuehai Pavilion.

Unexpectedly, his wallet would be delivered to his door like this, but the most important thing now is to find Zhongli first and see what Zhongli knows.

"Excuse me, is Zhongli here?"

This is not the first time he has met people who came to see Zhongli. People who originally came to the Palace of Rebirth were here to attend to business matters. After Zhongli came, because he was a guest and had made achievements in all aspects, he came to visit him during the day. , in addition to people coming to Hutao to discuss funeral matters, the Purity Hall also has another business, which is to give directions to people who come to Zhongli.

"Mr. Zhongli is in the Hall of Rebirth now. Can I ask your name, and I can help you convey your request."

"Just tell Zhongli that Arthur wants to see you."

The steward who was responsible for reception during the day poured Arthur a cup of tea, and then asked Arthur to wait for a while before going in to inform Zhongli. Unlike the steward who was responsible for the reception at night, because of the nature of the Rebirth Hall, day and night were completely different lives. , since Zhongli came, there are always people visiting Zhongli in the Pursuing Hall during the day for what they want, so everyone who had avoided the Purifying Hall came to the Purifying Hall during the day. Hu Tao originally thought of letting Zhongli be responsible for receiving guests during the day, and introduced it by the way. For a business, you can come over and discuss it with Zhongli at any time when ordering a coffin from the Palace of Purity.

In the end, Zhongli refused and gave up.

"Mr. Arthur, Mr. Zhongli, please come in."

Soon after receiving Zhongli's response, the Yiguan took Arthur into the Hall of Purity. Zhongli was seen quietly sitting there drinking tea. After Arthur came in, he also made an "invite" gesture, and at the same time He took out a tea cup, poured the tea, and sent it to another seat at the table.

Taking a sip of the tea in my hand, feeling the fragrance of the tea entering my throat, I slowly calmed down my impetuous heart.

Arthur drank the tea slowly, and after Zhongli poured the tea again, Arthur asked.

"Zhongli, do you know what happened in Liyue recently?"

"Oh?"

After groaning softly, Zhongli said nothing and seemed to be asking Arthur about those things.

Arthur told about the gathering of the treasure thieves and the migration of the Qiuqiu people, and then also talked about the attack on himself and Keqing today.

After Arthur finished speaking, Zhongli thought for a moment and echoed.

"If it's the migration of the Qiuqiu people and the gathering of the treasure thieves, I've heard about it."

After speaking, he took another sip of tea and continued.

"Let's talk about the treasure-stealing group first. I think Ningguang already knows the whole story. Even if you don't ask me, you will know it soon. Since you came here specially, let me briefly describe it."

"In general, everything is a misunderstanding. The original cause was that someone discovered the existence of a suspected secret treasure, and then he tried to find the treasure, but to no avail, the news was learned by the fool, and then he drew a picture based on his description The map was still not found. The Fools contacted the treasure thieving group and spread the news about the secret treasure. At the same time, they promised that if they join the treasure hunting group, they can obtain all the treasures after the task is completed. As the provider of the information, the Fools will only Take one of the things you are interested in, and give the rest to the treasure thief group, and there will also be a reward."

Speaking of this, Zhongli took a sip of tea and saw that there was no tea in Zhongli's tea cup. Arthur picked up the teapot and poured tea for Zhongli. Zhongli took another sip of tea, then took out a plate of nuts and put it on the table. on, and then continued.

At the same time, he took out a handful of melon seeds, opened them and put them in his mouth.Arthur also picked up a handful of melon seeds and continued to listen to Zhongli's "story" while eating them.

"But in fact, wherever there is a secret treasure, it is just a secret buried by a child. The secret treasure they are looking for is just a child's toy."

Unexpectedly, the treasure-stealing group's incident turned out to be a mistake. No wonder Zhongli didn't care at all. No one at Ningguang's side sent additional manpower, and he didn't even tell Keqing. There was no need to pursue an incident that seemed like a joke. .

"The second one is the Qiuqiu people. Aren't you the culprit?"

Arthur, who was enjoying the delicious melon seeds, almost choked and took a big sip of tea before he recovered.

"Me? What does it have to do with me?"

"If you think about it carefully, why do you think so many Qiuqiu people are migrating collectively? Then let me ask you, if people from Mondstadt came to Liyue in large numbers, what do you think is the reason?"

"Natural disaster, man-made disaster, profit?"

At this point, Arthur understood what Zhongli wanted to say.

"As long as you understand."

In the final analysis, it is true that Arthur has to shoulder the blame. Most of the Qiuqiu people brought by the Abyss were scattered throughout Mondstadt, but the number of Qiuqiu people from the three major tribes in the Dadaupa Valley also accounted for a large number. For the most part, I first lured the Wind Demon Dragon when the Chuqiu people were evacuating, and then after the lady gave Wendy a heart-wrenching blow, he was transferred to the Daupa Valley, and then he fought with the lady. No wonder the Chuqiu people Will migrate.

Thinking of this, Arthur suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that the culprit was himself, but when he thought about it carefully, it was because of the abyss in the first place. It was the lady who provoked the fight, and Wendy was responsible for the teleportation. He was just self-defense.

Yes, it's all the fault of the abyss and the multitude of fools.

"As for what you said about you and Keqing being attacked, I don't know. But the only thing that is certain is that these three are not related."

Chapter 69 External wallet get

After Zhongli asked where he was, he left and returned home. After knowing that the first two things were just accidents, Arthur even wondered whether the relic hunters were just a coincidence. It happened that the two of them had bad luck and triggered the mechanism.

Keqing, on the other hand, had not contacted her since she went to see Ningguang. She probably chose to continue investigating other matters after getting the details of the treasure-stealing group. However, she did not consider the ruin hunters they met and the treasure-stealing group. The matter has come to an end.

As for the Qiuqiu people, even if they really migrated from Mondstadt, it would subside within a few days.

Arthur stayed in the room and looked through the books given by Ji Fang. Since there was nothing he particularly wanted to read, he randomly picked out a book and prepared to read it, but when he saw the title, he was filled with greetings.

Because the name of the book is "I Become a Son-in-Law in the Ke Family". I don't know who wrote it. Isn't he afraid of being troubled by Ke Qing? Then I looked at the author, good guy, his last name is really Ke. I'm afraid it's not a real story. ah.

I roughly browsed through it and found that it is similar to the modern articles about marrying a son-in-law, which is to hide your strength and become a son-in-law, and then endure it all the time, and turn the tide at the critical moment, which is a great point of joy. I saw some other book titles that are more interesting, such as, "Miss Ningguang's Personal Maid", "Coconut Sheep's Weight Loss Tips", "I Want to Be Her Dog, But She Likes Cats".

After flipping through it, I can only sigh, these authors are really good at playing. The author of the first book is not one of the three of them, Baiwen. There is also the second book. The author is you, Wang Xiaomei. .

When I saw the books that had been given, I suddenly regretted why I had sent them all in the first place. It seemed that all the books had been packed together. One author even sent dozens of books. I also left a note, saying that there was no room in the warehouse and it was given for free. I saw the author, good guy, and he was an acquaintance. The author was Xingqiu, and the title was "The Record of Shen Qiu's Picking Up Swords".

Speaking of which, this book was quite popular in Liyue, and no one really cared about it. However, after Dao Wife opened, it became a very popular book in Dao Wife, and even Abedo painted for it.

After taking a look at the content, if I hadn’t known that Xingqiu was not a time traveler in this world, this book would have been written by Xingqiu himself a long time ago. This unconstrained idea, this exquisite description, this ultimate science fiction style, so why Xingqiu This is how it happened in Liyue.

Just when Arthur had just opened the second volume, there was a knock on the door.

When Arthur walked out of the room and opened the door, Keqing stood waiting at the door.

"Can I go in?"

After getting Arthur's affirmative answer, Keqing walked into the room and remembered the scene where she saw Ningguang. After she put forward her conjecture, Ningguang's suppressed smile expression. When she asked the reason, Ningguang's expression changed. She also changed the topic and allowed herself to continue talking. She said that she just thought of happy things.

As a result, after I finished my guess, I got the news from Ningguang, and I realized that Ningguang had thought of happy things and was just enjoying teasing herself.

I learned that the treasure-stealing group incident was a misunderstanding, and the migration of Qiuqiu people has also stopped. The appearance of Qiuqiu people now is also caused by the increase in Qiuqiu people in the territory. I almost found a three-room apartment in Qunyu Pavilion. In the first hall, it was difficult to get angry directly, so he could only resist the urge to give Ningguang a sword and left Qunyu Pavilion.

When I left, I heard the laughter coming from the crowd in the Jade Pavilion. At that time, Qing Qing was hardened and her fists were hardened.

"I got the news from Ning Guang. This is what happened..."

It was the same as what he learned from Zhongli. The only difference was that Ningguang had confirmed that there were no new Qiuqiu people, and Zhongli only told him the cause of the matter.

"So, is the attack by the ruin hunters just a coincidence?" First transfer ②⑤⑤⑤⑨⑤③ Mio Zero

"It seems that it should be."

Both of them accepted that it was a coincidence, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Arthur stood up first to break the deadlock.

"Ke Qing hasn't eaten yet. Let's stay here and have a meal. It happens to be time to eat."

Without waiting for an answer, Keqing walked into the kitchen to prepare today's dinner.

When Arthur finished cooking and came out, he found that there was another person in the hall where there was only one person.

"Hey, I didn't disturb you."

"As for auntie, we are really just ordinary friends and have no special relationship. Does auntie want to stay for a meal together?"

Keqing's mother had a familiar expression on her face, and at Arthur's invitation, she agreed without thinking. As a result, there was an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks on the dining table.

"I thought that my workaholic daughter could only buy food outside, but I didn't expect you, Arthur, to cook, and the food is so delicious. It seems that you won't be worried about Keqing's life in the future."

"Auntie, we..."

"Why do you call me aunt? You sound so old. I'm obviously still very young. Just call me sister. Of course, it's not impossible to call me mother-in-law!"

It has to be said that Keqing's mother is indeed very young. If she walked to the street with Keqing, people who don't know her would not think that they are mother and daughter, but would think that they are a pair of sisters. The biggest difference between the two is their temperament and figure. , if Keqing is as fast as thunder, her mother is as gentle as water. If Keqing is a girl next door, her mother has already shown the charm that a mother should have.

"Ke Qing, you have to hurry up. There are not many men like Arthur who are good-looking and can cook. He is good in the hall and in the kitchen. He is good at literature and martial arts. He is a talented person. Be careful that you are caught by other people that day. The girl abducted and ran away, and you can't even find the right tune to cry."

"mom...."

It is estimated that outsiders would be frightened by the behavior of the little girl Ke Qing and doubt her life. Who would have thought that Ke Qing, who looked resolute and resolute in front of outsiders, could also behave like a child.

Seeing that Ke Qing was a little angry at being teased by him, he stopped teasing the two of them. After such a long time, it can be seen that the two of them do not have any special relationship.

But as one of the few men of the same age in Keqing, Arthur is outstanding in all aspects. Seeing his daughter working every day, he even sometimes wonders whether Keqing will spend his life with work.

Now that a suitable candidate has been found and there is no conflict between the two, of course he has to give it a proper push. After all, it is for the happiness of his daughter.

After a meal, Keqing's mother whispered something in Keqing's ear before she left. Keqing was pushed out of the room in shame.

He was about to be pushed out by Ke Qing.

"Arthur, I'll leave it to you to take care of you."

Only two people, Arthur and Keqing, were left looking at each other.

"Thank you for the hospitality. And don't think too much, my mother just wants to tease us."

"By the way, although it's a mistake, the reward I mentioned is still valid. All future purchases will be sent directly to my house."

"Although it's a little late, welcome to Liyue, Arthur."

When Arthur returned to the room, he forgot about today's attack and the teasing of Keqing's mother. Only the smile that Keqing had before leaving remained in his heart and he could not leave.

Chapter 70 The contract with Zhongli

For several days in a row, nothing else happened, and everything returned to its former harmony. Ordinary people in Liyue didn't know what happened, and life was still going on as usual, just following the ceremony of inviting immortals. As the city approaches, more and more tourists come to Liyue.

The only thing Arthur did these days was sign a contract with Zhongli.

"Zhongli, can you lend me the heart of God?"

In order to complete the mission, Arthur found Zhongli who was wandering around in the world.
