Zero Zone: Start as Morax

After listening to Bai Wen's report, Ningguang nodded with satisfaction.

If we have the help of the Traveler, this trip to the foreign land will be much smoother.

Then.

Ningguang looked at Keqing on the side: "This time, I'll trouble you to lead the team. Please make sure to investigate clearly what is going on in that piece of land, why there are the Seven-Day God Statue of my Liyue Rock God, and whether it is the lost territory of my Liyue..."

Keqing said seriously: "I know what to do."

Recently, a lot of strange things have happened in Liyue.

First, Zhongli, the guest official of the Hall of Rebirth, disappeared inexplicably...

Then the trapped Ruotu Dragon King disappeared...

Then the suspected lost territory of Liyue was discovered. Although I know that it should not be the territory of Liyue, in order to investigate the two Seven-Day God Statue and whether Zhongli went there, Keqing will definitely go there in person...

At the same time.

Traveler and Paimon were also invited.

With the participation of the two of them, this investigation will definitely be smoother.

Silence for a moment.

Ningguang said again: "This trip is full of unknowns, so let's take some people with us."

Keqing shook her head: "Only those who have the Eye of God can use the Seven Days Statue to teleport. For this trip, I and the Traveler are enough."

After the discussion.

Keqing temporarily handed the work in her hands to Ningguang's secretary Baiwen, and then prepared.

Waiting for the arrival of the Traveler tomorrow, she set off for the unknown land.

-------------------------------------

Time passed, and it was already the next day in a blink of an eye.

As usual.

The streets of Liyue are still bustling with all kinds of merchants, local people of Liyue, and foreign tourists.

After several months.

The Traveler and Paimon walked on the streets of Liyue again, and suddenly felt a sense of relaxation.

Compared with the tense atmosphere of the Nata Kingdom.

She still prefers the streets of Liyue, which are full of life and lively atmosphere.

Paimeng held a candied haws in one hand and a kebab in the other, and smelled a strong fragrance: "It smells so good, it's the smell of osmanthus cake, traveler, let's go buy some to try."

The traveler looked at the candied haws and kebabs in Paimeng's hands and shook his head helplessly: "You'd better finish the food in your hands first, and then we will go to see Ningguang and Keqing."

They were originally in Nata during this period.

As a result, they suddenly received a letter from Ningguang, saying that there was an urgent matter for them to help, saying that they were exploring unknown areas and looking for the missing Zhongli...

Zhongli was missing?

The traveler didn't believe it at first.

But just after arriving in Liyue, he heard the voices of Liyue people talking on the street.

Some people said that Zhongli owed a lot of debts because he listened to books and drank tea every day, so he went to the mountains to hunt slimes and was swallowed by slimes...

Some people said that Zhongli encountered hill people and died in their hands...

Some people said that Zhongli encountered robbers and was kidnapped...

Others said that Zhongli was assassinated by the Fatui of Zhidong Country, the damn Fatui...

Each statement is very outrageous.

But each statement has a nose and eyes, and there are even eyewitnesses.

Hearing these discussions.

Even Paimon was speechless: "What? They don't know how powerful Zhongli is. How could he die in the hands of slimes, hillbills, robbers, or even the Fatui? It's impossible..."

On the surface, Zhongli is a guest of the Wangsheng Hall, an idle person who walks his bird and listens to books...

But in fact, he is the Rock God of Liyue. Even if he is retired, his strength is not weak. How could he disappear for no reason...

The Traveler thought: "Although I don't know where Zhongli went, he must have his purpose for doing this."

Paimon spread his hands helplessly: "You are right, but where did he go?"

The Traveler doesn't know.

Paimon doesn't know even more.

The purpose of the two of them coming to Liyue this time is to be invited to investigate the unknown area and find the missing Zhongli.

Passing through the bustling streets of Liyue.

The Traveler and Paimon finally arrived at the gate of Yujingtai. After a simple announcement, a staff member led them in and soon saw Keqing.

As soon as they met.

Paimon said happily: "Keqing, we meet again."

Keqing also smiled and said: "Traveler, Paimon, welcome to Liyue Port."

It's urgent.

There is no time to reminisce.

Keqing immediately told about what happened in Liyue recently and the plan to explore unknown areas.

After listening.

Paimon was very surprised: "What, even the Ruota Dragon King is missing? The Traveler and I were planning to knock it down on the way."

The Traveler was also thoughtful: "So many things happened during the time when Paimon and I entered Nata."

It seems so.

Zhongli's disappearance is not unusual, and it may also be related to the disappearance of Ruota Dragon King.

The Traveler looked at Keqing: "What do you need me to do?"

Keqing said seriously: "I plan to go to that unknown area in person, and I want to invite you to go with me."

The Traveler immediately agreed: "Okay, when do we leave?"

Seeing that the Traveler agreed so readily.

Keqing also said readily: "We can leave now."

However.

On the side.

Paimon was a little worried: "But, that area..."

The traveler rolled his eyes at Paimon: "You don't want to explore it later? This is Keqing who invited us."

Keqing also said: "Yes, this matter is very urgent and can't be delayed any longer."

Paimon had no choice but to say: "Okay, I hope... this exploration will go smoothly."

As the traveler's guide, Paimon knows the entire Teyvat continent very well.

But she knows nothing about the newly appeared area, so she has some concerns. Last time the traveler wanted to go, she stopped him, but this time there is no way to stop him.

After the decision was made.

The group immediately went to the teleportation anchor point, ready to teleport to the unknown area through the Seven Days Statue.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Yujingtai, they met Ningguang and Xiao.

Paimeng said happily: "Ningguang, Xiao, we meet again."

Ningguang smiled slightly: "Are you going to set off? Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise I would not be able to find you."

Keqing said seriously: "Is there anything else?"

Ningguang smiled and said: "This trip is full of unknowns, and you may encounter any danger. In order to ensure the safety of this investigation, I specially invited Xiao Shangxian to accompany you."

Xiao stood aside without saying a word: "..."

Seeing this.

Paimeng was very happy: "Great, another powerful helper."

The traveler was also very happy: "Xiao, welcome to join you."

The expression on Xiao's face was very firm: "This trip is very dangerous, I will definitely protect you and find Mr. Zhongli back."
