In Yuanshen, no one understands holy relics better than me

"The mark should belong to the Treasure Bandit, but look..." Mona washed the mark with water, and the fluorescent powder lost its brilliance immediately under the impact of the water tide.

Instead, there was another clearer engraving, like the black color of dried blood.

The newly appeared mark is more like some kind of ancient problem, beyond the cognition of Ke Qing and Qian Yanjun.

"I don't know the specific meaning, but this is the text of the abyss." Mona quickly gave the answer, which was unexpected: "Why are the treasure robbers associated with the abyss?"

The location where the mark appears is to pile up the paper, oil and wood used to build the Mingxiao Lantern, all of which are flammable.

On the last day of the Sea Lantern Festival, many people will definitely come to watch the release of Mingxiao Lanterns.

At such an important time, at such an important place, such mysterious words appear, it is hard for people not to doubt.

Xia Tian was also worried, and asked the guards: "Did the Qianyan army not find the person who carved the symbol? Is it not enough manpower?"

I don't know who this person is, but they seem to have a good relationship with Mr. Keqing.

Qian Yanjun honestly reported: "Sea Lantern Festival is an important festival of Liyue, and the General Affairs Department has assigned special personnel to carry out security work..."

He said with shame, "But in order to welcome the major business groups again, some of them were temporarily dispatched to return to Liyuan and stationed on the trade routes to ensure safety..."

Return to Liyuan, stationed on the trade route?

Combined with the news in the morning, the foreign guests mentioned by Ningguang also had problems on the road. Could it be that they were attacked?

Xia Tian asked again: "How many other berths are there for storing goods like this?"

One word awakened everyone.

If this is a conspiracy surrounding the Lantern Festival, there are definitely other clues.

Regarding the storage of goods, Ke Qing is more clear: "To make the Mingxiao Lantern, a lot of materials are needed. In order to prevent problems, we separate these materials in three berths, but they are all close..."

The three looked at each other and nodded, already understanding the next move.

The logos of the Treasure Thieves Group and the Abyss Religious Order overlapped. Is it a coincidence or a joint conspiracy?

If the enemy is a treasure troupe, then strengthen the protection.

If the enemy is the Abyss Cult, then it may not only need protection, but also take the initiative to attack!

The second stacking point is on the No. [-] berth next to it, and it also has a fluorescent treasure bandit mark.

But after erasing, no writings of the Abyssal Order were found.

The last warehouse is farther away. In order to facilitate the storage of materials brought back from abroad, it is located at the junction of the South Port and the North Port, which is near Qunyu Pavilion.

The three of them walked through the entire Xiaoshi, and at the entrance of the slipway, they met Ying and Paimon.

Probably also watching the Sea Lantern Festival.

With the formation of Yuheng star, it is difficult not to be discovered.

Ying and Paimon took the initiative to wave and greet: "Xiamen, Mona, Keqing!"

Meet by fate.

Paimon looked at the group of people following him, and asked curiously, "What are you doing? Rehearsal for a festival?"

Don't have time to chat, let's get down to business first.

Ke Qing said: "A strange symbol was found near the Mingxiao Lantern. Have you encountered any strange things or seen any strange people?"

"Yes!" Paimon was very active: "I just saw a sneaky person wearing a veil!"

Her words are not very reliable.

Everyone's eyes were on Ying, and it was obvious that she had to say it from her mouth to be credible.

Ying nodded: "Well, I also thought he was suspicious, and wanted to ask carefully, but that guy ran away in a hurry."

Paimeng said: "We are going to report to the General Affairs Department!"

"Hey, Paimon is so serious." Mona knew that Paimon was always eager to take on a lot of tasks, but it was the first time that she was so jealous.

Paimon patted his chest, a sense of righteousness from the inside out: "The Sea Lantern Festival is the result of everyone's joint efforts! Disruptive behavior is absolutely not allowed!"

Do you believe it?Anyway, Xia Tian didn't believe it: "Don't say it so righteously, you are just worried that if there is a problem with the Sea Lantern Festival, it will delay your eating!"

Being exposed so easily, Paimon put his hands behind his back in embarrassment, blinked his eyes and stuck out his tongue: "Hey hey!"

Chapter 410 Four Serial Events

After carefully searching the berth, I found the mark of the Treasure Bandit, which glows like a moon.

The abyss text that everyone was worried about did not appear again, which shows that the treasure robber group should not have united with the abyss religion.

The ancient script of Kerriya bears some resemblance to the script of the Abyss.

In recent years, there have been many restorers of the Kanriya Dynasty, and it seems that some kind of secret organization has also been formed.

Thinking on the bright side, maybe the inconspicuous abyss text is just a code for this secret organization to contact, not a conspiracy of the abyss religious order.

even so.

From Ying and Paimeng's mouth, it is confirmed that there are indeed suspicious people who cover their faces and dress up as treasure robbers...

"So, is the Treasure Pirates Group really planning to do something to the Sea Lantern Festival?" Paimon was worried. She only ate less than one-fifth of the Sea Lantern Festival's delicacies!

Regarding this possibility, the "Chiayi" who came here after hearing the news had different opinions: "Maybe there are ulterior motives, and setting fires at the Sea Lantern Festival...isn't like something that the Thieves would do."

As the deputy commander of the Qianyan Army under the General Affairs Department, Chiayi was an old rival of the Treasure Pirates.

In the early years when the troops were stationed abroad and the bandits were mopped up, they had a lot of dealings, and they were very familiar with these cunning opponents.

Now that he has retired to the second line, he still pays attention to the movements of the treasure robbers and is responsible for collecting news and clues.

Among them, it also includes contacting the intelligence personnel who sneaked into the treasure robbery group.

Xia Tian also agrees with this opinion.

The reason why Treasure Pirates can establish a foundation spanning many countries is because they always follow one of the most fundamental principles - "seeking wealth in danger" is a lie, and steady and steady development is the right way in the world.

Although Liyuegang has left the emperor, it tends to be ruled by people.

But still being guarded by immortals, with the Seven Stars and Qianyan Army, and it was still during the Sea Lantern Festival... Come to Liyue Port to make trouble at this time, I am afraid that I think I am living too well.

Before cooperating with fools, they only dared to make trouble outside the city.

You can talk nonsense, but you can't do things indiscriminately.

"Then shall we go to the Treasure Pirates to confirm? I think it would be better to be direct?" Paimon began to guide the mission.

Chiayi clasped his chin with one hand, and agreed: "If those little thieves have plans for the Lantern Festival, I think the defense is worse than actively eliminating the threat... There are still four days, and it should be too late."

He looked at Keqing, and asked for instructions: "Should we strengthen our guard, or take the initiative to investigate... Lord Yuheng please decide."

This is the first time that a decision on military affairs has been made.

Ke Qing was a little cautious, subconsciously glanced at Xia Tian, ​​then quickly withdrew her gaze, and said: "It is naturally best to take the initiative to investigate, but how can I get in touch with the thief leader?"

Making trouble at the Sea Lantern Festival is definitely not a small matter, and ordinary members of the treasure robbers do not have the courage and decision-making power.

If you want to find it, you need to find the thief leader.

As an illegal organization, the Treasure Bandit has a large number of branches and has a strong sense of territory.

Chiayi said: "Liyue Port belongs to the Tianheng Mountain area, so we have to interrogate the treasure robbers in the area of ​​"Guiliyuan". "

Paimeng didn't understand, he was confused: "Gui Liyuan? Shouldn't it be Tianheng Mountain?"

"A few years ago, the treasure bandit group in Tianheng Mountain had already been annexed by Guiliyuan..." Jiayi couldn't help but say a few more words in front of Mr. Yuheng: "Recently, I heard that the town of Mingyun There is also a tendency to go back to Liyuan, if these scattered thieves are really united, I am afraid that they will have to consider a more resolute attack."

Mingyun Town took refuge in Guiliyuan... It should be the last time he helped the fools snatch the "God Killing Spear"?

It's hard to say whether the subordinates are strong or weak, but the leader is really not at the same level.

The eldest sister named "Bao Er" is by no means an ordinary thief, and she must pay attention to it in the future.

"Eh? You guys know so much about the news of the Treasure Pirates Group? It's amazing." Xia Tian was surprised.

Being praised, Chiayi gave a hearty smile and explained the reason: "Haha, the Treasure Bandit is a major disaster that threatens the trade routes. We must find a way to get information and deal with it in time."

Everything seems to be going smoothly.

As long as you find the leader of the treasure robbery group and beat him up, all the troubles will naturally be solved.

Paimon hurriedly urged: "Then let's go to the boss of the Treasure Pirates! Can your intelligence know where she is?"

"Should be able to know the approximate location... I just received a piece of information, maybe it has relevant content!" Jiayi suddenly thought of something, and immediately rushed back.

After he left, the discussion ended and the atmosphere became silent.

Ying, Paimeng, and Mona looked at each other puzzled, they could clearly feel that Xia Tian and Ke Qing had their own concerns.

"What's wrong with you two?" Mona asked.

With both approaches, he stretched out his hand and patted the foreheads of the two of them at the same time.

"Eh?" Xia Tian and Ke Qing raised their heads and replied in unison: "It's nothing..."

Smile at each other.

Of course, Xia Tian can guess Ke Qing's worry at the moment: "Are you worried about the lack of manpower?"

"No... um." Ke Qing subconsciously denied it, not wanting her friends to worry about her.

But under those eyes that seemed to see through everything, there was really no way to be stubborn.

Expressed all the doubts in his heart.

Ke Qing didn't have much detailed understanding of the Qianyan Army's establishment. In the past, the retinue, security... were all directly in charge of the General Affairs Department.

But now, she needs to make a decision.

There was a crisis in the trade route a few days ago, and a team of Qianyan Army has been dispatched to go there.

If it is necessary to take the initiative to eliminate the threat, and then separate some of them, it may be difficult to guarantee the maintenance of the Sea Lantern Festival.

It is the first time to undertake the task of holding the Sea Lantern Festival, and of course I hope it will be as perfect as possible.

If you want to be safe, you have to give consideration to both defense and attack...it's not easy.

"There's nothing to worry about! Don't you have us!" Paimon maintained her enthusiasm and greed: "Just prepare some more delicious food for me, whether it's going up the mountain of knives or going down into the sea of ​​fire, I will do it in summer!"

How can a friend not help a friend?

Mona agreed: "That's right, no matter whether you go up the mountain of swords or into the sea of ​​fire, summer will definitely..."

Halfway through the conversation, I realized that I frowned at Paimon: "Why did you prepare food for you, and then go on an adventure in summer?"

Of course you can help, but if Xia Tian goes up the mountain of swords and goes down into the sea of ​​fire... Mona is reluctant to let her go.

"Don't worry about the details... hehehe." Paimon stuck out his tongue and flew around Mona playfully.

These two people always have a way to liven up the atmosphere.

Keqing's problem was solved, but Ying didn't forget the same silent Xia Tian: "What were you thinking just now?"

Xia Tian rubbed his chin, and said thoughtfully: "I'm just curious, since the Qianyan Army knows so much about the movements of the Treasure Bandit, why didn't they just eradicate the Treasure Bandit?"

Hmm...a mind-boggling question.

Everyone naturally turned their attention to Ke Qing, after all, she was the only one among them who could possibly know the answer.

But... the answer he got was an apology.

"...Sorry, I don't know very well." She just felt ashamed.

As Liyue Seven Stars, I actually have so many ignorance and uncertainties.

If it is Ningguang, I will be able to answer it quickly!

... How did I get here these past few years?What has grown up?

I am satisfied just because I have done some regional planning, and I am complacent just because I have done my job well...

How far is it from being a qualified Liyue Seven Star?

Keqing clenched her fists tightly and secretly made up her mind that she must learn more about Liyue's government affairs, so that she could not let such an embarrassing self appear in front of the public and friends again.

White teeth bit his lips lightly, his guilty look made people feel distressed.

Xia Tian seemed to have turned into a bad uncle who bullied the little cutie, and hurriedly explained: "I'm just curious...it's normal if I don't know!"

In fact, he had a one-sided answer in his heart.
