Xumi: I and the treasure-stealing weasel killed our way through the Church of the Lord

As a reward, he will also create an opportunity for Lin Feng to get closest to the essence of the rock element, so as to increase the success rate of this process as much as possible.

"."

After listening to this, Lin Feng fell into deep thought.

It's not because the conditions are not right.

On the contrary, Zhongli's sincerity in this contract seemed too sufficient.

Not to mention that in the land of Liyue, there is nothing that can be hidden from the God of Thousand Rocks. Whether or not a request for observation is made does not affect Zhongli's peeping.

And based on his own experience in Xumi, if he wanted to fully activate the authority, he would most likely need some power from the authority holder as a blueprint.

After thinking about it, no matter how you look at it, this is almost just Zhongli's unconditional support for himself in the name of the contract.

……

I can't think of any reason to refuse.

Lin Feng looked at Zhongli who had shown kindness to him from the beginning, and said with some emotion:

"This help really helped me a lot."

"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Thank you for your kindness, my Lord."

"...I just don't know when the Emperor plans to arrange the trip? Do I need to prepare in advance?"

Lin Feng asked.

"——That's not necessary."

"Oh?"

"To be honest, I observed the celestial phenomena at night and found that today is a rare and auspicious time. My friend, let's set off now--"

Zhongli smiled, and a yellow light flashed under his feet. He took Lin Feng, who hadn't reacted yet subconsciously took a ride, and disappeared quietly in the prosperous Liyue Harbor City...

Chapter 148 Keqing's Journey to Find Someone

Liyue Harbor, Yujing Terrace.

As the highest area in Liyue Harbor,

Just stand on the guardrail beside the circular platform and you can overlook the entire Liyue Harbor city.

However, at the top of this commercial port where every inch of land is valuable, there are two buildings built opposite each other that appear to be the most luxurious and imposing.

One of them is the mansion of Lord Maocai, a wealthy merchant in Liyue Harbor. It is magnificent and solemn, demonstrating the prominent status of the owner.

The other one, built against the mountain, is not inlaid with gold or silver but is more exquisite in structure. It is the political core of the entire Liyue Harbor - Yuehai Pavilion.

The "Seven Stars" refers to Liyue's permanent council, and is also a collective name for the seven great businessmen who are responsible for handling Liyue's political affairs.

Yuehai Pavilion is where the "Seven Stars" discuss government affairs.

Therefore, any major decisions that could affect the entire Liyue are generally made here.

Logically speaking, as the core organization of the Seven Stars that controls Liyue, Yuehaiting should only reflect the voices of these seven adults on weekdays.

But in daily life, there is such a mysterious "Yue Haiting ordinary secretary" who vaguely overshadows the charm of these seven stars.

——The coordinator of Liyue Harbor’s intelligence data network and the builder of Liyue Harbor’s administrative efficiency

The Seven Stars of all generations have never been stingy with their sincere praise for this "companion star".

Through diligent and serious work over thousands of years, this secretary has accumulated countless titles.

Even among the people of Liyue, there are rumors about the "people behind" the Liyue Seven Stars.

But only Yue Haiting's secretaries knew,

The legendary and mysterious "behind-the-scenes coordinator" is actually just a blue-haired girl with exquisite looks and poor speaking skills.

It had been unknown how long ago, but according to their predecessors' predecessors, this fairy-like beautiful girl had been sitting among piles of documents and reports all day long, contributing to the prosperity of Liyue Harbor.

But today, this seven-star secretary who often sits all day long and reviews documents and reports like a stream, rarely left her seat during working hours.

From the pile of business documents, she picked out a somewhat out-of-place "Missing Person Notice". After making sure that no information was missing, she got up and went to the second floor of Yuehai Pavilion.

Going upstairs and turning right, the girl walked to the fifth office and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

A somewhat tired voice came from inside the door.

Ganyu opened the door.

All that came into view was a large desk and a purple-haired girl with a slightly frowned brow amidst a pile of reports.

After standing still for a moment, Ganyu said after the girl in front of him finished processing the document in her hand:

"Ms. Keqing, the missing person notice you posted earlier has now yielded a result."

"This is the valid information I have compiled from various clues. Please take a look."

The blue-haired girl found a space on the desk and placed the stack of documents in front of Keqing.

"Huh? There's a result so soon?"

"Huh...Finally, there is some good news during this period of time."

Keqing, who was originally a little tired, suddenly perked up and picked up the document handed over by Ganyu impatiently.

Ever since she was rescued from danger by the scholar named Lin Feng in the Layered Rock Abyss last time, she planned to go and check on the other party's condition as soon as she escaped.

But a magical creature who suddenly appeared and called herself "Lan Lana" told her that the crisis just now was not something she could get involved in. If she approached rashly, she might only cause more trouble in the end. It would be best for her to leave first.

Thinking of the green light shield that protected him when he landed, he realized that this little guy might be a "follower" brought by the other party, and he would most likely not deliberately mislead him.

Keqing assessed her own strength and the strength of the enemy, and finally had to admit that what these little guys said was absolutely right - with her current level, even if she rushed over, she would only become a burden.

In the end, accompanied by this "friend" that ordinary people cannot see, Keqing returned to Liyue Harbor first.

Thinking of doing something for the other person, after returning to Yuehai Pavilion, she used her power as a "Yuheng Star" to post "Missing Person Notices" in most areas of Liyue to find her savior.

Although according to "Lan Lana", it actually has two friends who act together, Keqing has not seen them.

According to it, the two friends were not as interested in Nala's life as it was, so they left quietly after completing the escort mission.

I was confused about the identity of the young scholar.

Keqing also tried to ask the little creature who stayed in Liyue Harbor and often came back to her.

But the other party seemed to have been instructed in advance and did not provide any useful information. Even the boy's location could not be sensed due to "lack of strength".

Keqing, who has always been clear about gratitude and resentment and always repays favors, has been worried about the previous incident for a long time.

In addition, the recent implementation of the "Return to Original Land Improvement and Flood Control Planning Guidelines" has been repeatedly obstructed. Keqing, who was faced with a lot of objections, finally heard a rare piece of good news.

".Recently, a figure similar to the young man in the portrait has appeared in Bubulu and Sanwan Buguogang."

".It seems that the other party is often accompanied by a guest official from the Wangsheng Hall named 'Zhongli'. At dinner time, the two of them often walk together."

".According to the clues provided by the public, the other party seems to have arrived at Liyue Port several days ago, and his recent actions can probably be summarized as 'travel'.?"

???

After reading the report, Keqing's delicate face was full of question marks.

——I posted a missing person notice in Qingce Village and searched for a long time in various remote places, but it turns out that you are in Liyue Harbor?

So after seeing the missing person notice, why didn't you just come and see me? Was my reception last time so bad?

Keqing was very puzzled, so she carefully wrote down the two place names "Bubu Lu" and "Sanwan Buguogang", intending to go there in person later.

Seeing that the report had been completed, Gan Yu, who was eager to speed up the work progress, did not stay for too long and went straight back to his post.

Before leaving, she calmly accepted Keqing's thanks.

I am not unfamiliar with this Qixing who often works overtime with me.

After all, since Keqing took office, this office in front of her has become the most common scene for Ganyu, apart from her own workstation.

Thinking of the piles of documents and reports on her and the other party's desks, Ganyu, who loves her job very much, couldn't help but feel a little happy about meeting a close friend.

Although this Seven Star has not publicly stated his governing philosophy because he has only been in office for a short time...

——But as long as she has the Emperor's guidance and such a passion for work, I think no matter what kind of problem it is, it will not be able to stop her.

It was as if she saw in the girl in front of her a similarly hardworking ancestor who lived hundreds of years ago. As Ganyu left the office, she couldn't help but reveal a look of "nostalgia" on her face.

Chapter 11: Set out to obtain the power of the rock

Liyue, Minlin, Qingyunding.

As a golden light flashed, two figures appeared silently beside the Seven Heavenly God Statue floating among the mountains.

Upon closer inspection, they were two young men who were extraordinary in both their clothing and appearance.

It was the walking duo consisting of Lin Feng and Zhongli.

……

Lin Feng, who was wandering around Liyue Harbor before, after reaching an agreement with Zhongli on the issue of elemental authority.

Taking a ride with the Emperor, they arrived at the most remote statue of the Seven Heavens God in the whole of Liyue in a flash.

Under the cool moonlight,

Lin Feng looked at the silver-gray misty clouds under his feet and the tall stone peak that stood like an attic.

I feel that Jueyunjian is worthy of being the place where immortals live. Just from the scenery, it looks like a paradise on earth.

--only,

Emperor, isn't it a bit too unkind of you to place the Seven Heavens Statue on such a completely suspended platform?

Apart from those with wings and those who can fly, I’m afraid few people can get up here, right?

Standing firmly, Lin Feng looked at the person beside him, changing his usual leisurely demeanor.

Zhongli, who was able to act quickly and decisively, said:

"...Thank you, Lord. This place is far from human habitation, rich in rock elements, and very close to the Seven Heavenly Statue. It perfectly meets my requirements."

"But if I remember correctly, Jueyunjian should be the place where the immortals' caves are located, and many immortals stay here..."

"The noise I make might be a little bit loud. Will it disturb the immortals here?"

Thinking of the impact of his awakening authority in Xumi,

Lin Feng was very worried that he might accidentally destroy the house of Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang.

After all, Qingyun Peak is where the cave of this fairy deer is located.

"——It's okay. I will be by your side this time. You don't need to worry too much. Just concentrate on experiencing the power and try to replicate it."

"If there are any mistakes, it is due to my inability to adjust. After the incident, I will apologize to the old friends here."

Zhongli smiled and expressed his understanding of Lin Feng’s concerns.

Since ancient times, once the power of the demon god level appeared, the impact it caused has never been small. At the very least, the earth would shake and aftershocks would continue. At the worst, mountains would change shape and rivers would change course.

What's more, what is about to appear before him may be a reproduction of the power of elements and even the "Seven Laws" that has never been seen before in the entire continent of Teyvat.

The reason why he chose to accompany him was also to eliminate the impact.

Lin Feng felt relieved when he heard this, thinking that since the Emperor was here to guarantee for him.

Then no matter what happens afterwards, it will not cause a series of follow-up effects like Xumi.

After all, the overflow of the authority of grass would at most cause the vegetation to grow more luxuriantly, which is not a big problem. However, if something goes wrong with the authority of rock, it probably won’t be as “peaceful” as before.

"Alright, thank you very much, Emperor."

Lin Feng thanked him frankly.

"But why is the Emperor so sure that the process of me gaining power is actually a "breakthrough" of the underlying rules of Teyvat?"

"——If it is just a similar authority, then it should have appeared on this continent before."
