But compared to the young master, Fang Yun's edge is much more restrained. Although he has a long sword on his waist, he gives Ying a leisurely temperament of an old gatekeeper, which is definitely not something that can be developed overnight.
She took a deep breath, organized her words and said, "Hello, Your Highness Fang Yun. My name is Ying, the honorary knight of Mondstadt. This time I want to see you not only to report intelligence, but also to ask you about my brother [Kong]."
Ying chose to be straightforward. After all, Inazuma is a country of warriors, and beating around the bush too much might displease the other party. As for revealing his identity as an honorary knight, it was to demonstrate his own strength and make Fang Yun pay more attention to him.
Fang Yun saw what Ying was thinking and couldn't help but feel a little curious. He thought Ying was a simpleton... He wasn't being mean. Before he traveled through time, players had already been talking about Ying's "dizziness-prone physique".
It was understandable that he was knocked unconscious by a powerful enemy like the Doctor, or fell down because of the resentment of the demon in the Evil Eye Factory, but being knocked unconscious by an ordinary person with a club, or being knocked unconscious by a little monster with a drug, this was really too outrageous!
But think about it, just like in the plot, when the rebels unsealed the talisman, they did not leave it there for the travelers to pick up, but kept it for themselves to use as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the shogunate. It is impossible for Yingmei, the yellow-haired aunt whose age is difficult to estimate, to be so easy to deal with.
"?" Yingmei seemed to have noticed something and stared at Fang Yun suspiciously. She felt that someone was questioning her quality as a beautiful girl.
But this was not the time to talk about this. Ying took out the missing person notice that Amber had prepared for her from her bag, which also had a portrait drawn based on her dictation.
Fang Yun reached out to take Kong's portrait and looked at it carefully. He found that Amber's painting skills were quite impressive. It was a pity that the missing person notice was posted in several countries but no one provided any information... Well, maybe changing it to a wanted poster would have some effect.
He said in a deep voice: "First of all, thank you very much for completing the commission we issued. Thank you very much for providing me with the information about the Fatui. But from what you said, do you intend to use your brother's information as a reward for completing the mission?"
"Yes, looking for my brother is the purpose of my journey now." Ying answered sincerely, "If my bargaining chips are not enough, you can put forward some more conditions. As long as I can fulfill them, I will do my best to do them."
While speaking, Yingmei was already prepared to take on a series of tasks... This kind of main task seemed so cumbersome to her. For example, Fang Yun might ask her to find B, but B had a problem to solve, so he would ask her to find C, and C was locked up in a secret realm, so she needed to find D to rescue him.
however.
"No need to go through so much trouble. You already have enough chips. You and I can complete the transaction directly."
"what?"
Sister Ying was frightened!
She widened her eyes and asked as if to confirm, "Is that really enough? I don't need to do any other side quests?"
She couldn't believe that there was a main quest that could be completed with just one conversation!
In her eyes, Fang Yun had become an older brother like Liben!
"It's just an exchange of information. Why should I embarrass you?" Fang Yun poured her a cup of tea. "But unfortunately, your brother is not in Inazuma now."
"Ah?" Ying looked disappointed, but suddenly her eyes lit up: "Wait, you mean, you know where he is?"
Fang Yun said carefully, "I can tell you that you will meet him in Liyue."
In the plot, the brother and sister first met in the Abyss Cult base in Liyue, which was the incident of the statue hanging upside down for seven days.
But Fang Yun did not directly reveal Kong's identity. He thought it would be better to let Yingmei talk to Kong herself. After all, why Kong, the Adventer, joined the Kanreya camp is still shrouded in mystery, and Dainsreb, who knows the truth, has been acting as a riddle man.
"We'll meet in Liyue..." Ying repeated this sentence solemnly.
She did not doubt the truthfulness of the answer. There was no need for Fang Yun to lie to her because he could have just said he didn't know and given her a bunch of tasks to do instead of just giving her the answer directly like he did now.
But Liyue’s territory is so vast, how can she find it?
Ying could only look at him for help: "Do you have more precise information?"
"This land is filled with too much suffering, and you and I are bound here, traveler." Fang Yun suddenly said.
Yingmei and Paimon were startled for a moment, and looked at each other, feeling an epic feeling coming towards them. They had only seen this kind of aura in Kaeya and Venti, and Fang Yun was even stronger!
"And then?" they both asked in unison.
Fang Yun drank his tea slowly and said, "What I mean is that I can only be a riddler in this matter. Let's talk about it after you meet Kong yourself, Ying."
The Riddler gets out of Teyvat!
Yingmei's eyes went dark.
But Fang Yun's next words gave her hope again... Wait, why did Fang Yun gasp for breath when he spoke?
Ying feels that this guy is the villain in the novel who wants to transform the female knight!
"My next move may allow you to meet your brother. Do you want to join?" Fang Yun looked at her with a smile, "But after you join, you will have to be an Inazuma samurai for a while."
Little Paimon was immediately happy when she heard this. Seeing how powerful Inazuma was, she had long wanted to join Inazuma's nationality!
"Traveler, you, hurry up and do what you agreed to do!" Paimon put his hands on his hips and urged Yingmei, his accent changed, "This is the first time we have got a clue about your brother, we must not miss it."
Yingmei frowned slightly. To be honest, she didn't really want to get involved in Teyvat's affairs. After all, the situation in Liyue was too complicated now. She had been wanted two days ago.
"Can we try another way?" Yingmei asked tactfully.
Fang Yun did not give a direct answer. He said meaningfully: "In fact, there is nothing wrong with joining Inazuma. Just look at the reaction of the people of Liyue and you will know that it is very safe to have the protection of the gods. It is impossible for Liyue to really leave Morax."
"I'm not that kind of person!" Yingmei waved her hand to refuse. She had just accepted Mond's canonization not long ago, how could she switch to Inazuma now? Even if it was just in name, she couldn't let down the captain Qin who gave her the money.
Fang Yun, ah Fang Yun, you really underestimate my sister Ying's courage!
"Food and lodging are provided, and you can eat with me."
"This... this is just basic employee benefits! I eat a little worse myself, so I can just bear with it."
"In addition, you can receive corresponding wages according to your performance. If you can satisfy me and the general, let alone a four-star weapon, you can even get a five-star weapon. The shogunate never treats brave people unfairly."
As he spoke, Fang Yun took out the Bolunyue Baijingjin, and lightly flicked the sword with his fingertips, causing a crisp sword sound. One could tell at the first sound that this was a peerless sword.
Yingmei subconsciously looked down at the edgeless sword with a few cracks in her hand and swallowed silently.
So, can you give away five-star weapons directly? Did she choose the wrong place at the beginning?
Is this the true Genshin?
She was suddenly silent.
"Your Highness Fang Yun's words really cleared up my mind and opened my eyes!" Yingmei raised her teacup and drank it all in one gulp. "From today on, I am Inazuma Ying."
The Omniscient and Almighty: Chapter 12: Walking in Liyue with the Emperor's Sword
After a round of toasting, both the host and the guests were in great joy.
At Fang Yun's clapping, the maid brought breakfast, allowing Ying and Paimeng to enjoy the treatment worthy of a god's travel.
Paimon lay on Ying's lap and rubbed his bulging belly happily: "Traveler, if we had known earlier we would have come directly here last night!"
These words made Yingmei feel a little uncomfortable, as if she was the kind of person who could be bribed by giving her a weapon or a mount!
Paimon never understood her good intentions. The main reason she agreed to temporarily join the Inazuma camp was for her brother.
She had no choice. Wendy had always been the riddle maker, and even though Zhongli was the Rock King, he might not be able to give any useful clues. But now Fang Yun told her that if she followed him, she would be able to see Kong. How could Ying give up?
and--
Sora definitely doesn't want to see me sleeping rough, right? If he knew that I was living well with Inazuma, he would surely smile happily, right?
He also has to thank Fang Yun for taking care of him!
Of course, Fang Yun's generous conditions also made her have some doubts. Even if she decided to join Inazuma, she had to find out if there were any traps first. She just looked silly, but she was not stupid.
But just when she wanted to test Fang Yun, she heard his voice in her ears.
"When you left Kanreya, you were stopped by the [Sustainer of Heaven's Law]. What do you think is his level of strength?"
what?
Yingmei stood there in a daze, her mouth slightly open. She looked around quickly, only to find that the people around her were ignoring their conversation. Only then did she realize that he must have used an illusion.
And because she once had god-level strength, she could clearly feel that Fang Yun's illusion was enhanced by mental power.
Wait, isn't Fang Yun a disciple of General Lei Dian? How come he has the power of the mind?
Only then did she realize that she had been falling into Fang Yun's rhythm and knew almost nothing about him.
But Ying was not stupid. When she heard Fang Yun asking about Tianli's information, she immediately had some guesses in her mind. She put her thoughts aside and answered.
"That god is very powerful, because she controls the authority of [Space]. This ability is a top-level law no matter what world it is placed in. Kong and I teamed up to fight her for a few moves before she was sealed. We are no match for her at all."
"In addition, she has the aura of the Original Man, and is suspected to be the incarnation of the Creator... You may not know that when you reach the realm of the Creator, you can go to war with a world with your own strength!"
Ying confessed the truth, because Fang Yun obviously already knew that she was an Adventer and had fought with the Maintainers of Heavenly Law, so there was no point in hiding these things.
She asked indirectly, "Since she claims to be the upholder of heavenly justice, she shouldn't be one of the seven rulers of the mortal world, right?"
"It's true... Don't worry. I don't know about other countries, but Inazuma hasn't paid attention to Sky Island for a long time. General Raiden has nothing to do with your brother's capture. You don't need to worry about our position."
"I understand."
Ying put aside her doubts. After all, things had come to this point. If Fang Yun really stood on the side of Sky Island, he could tie her up and transform her now.
Wait... this guy Fang Yun has psychic powers, which can restrain her, a blonde female knight!
But she was still very curious, how did Fang Yun know that she and Kong were stopped 500 years ago?
"Don't underestimate my intelligence network!" Fang Yun imitated the tone of the Great Compassion Tree King, "Do you have a four-character pseudonym?"
Yingmei was frightened again!
She has never used the name Alicia in Teyvat. How did Fang Yun know it?
"No, you almost brought me in. You are actually an Adventer, right? You also have that aura that doesn't belong to Teyvat!"
"Indeed, but I came much later than you. It's a pity that we don't seem to be from the same hometown."
Ying thought to herself that this was indeed the case, but she was also confused. Since Fang Yun was a latecomer, why did he know about her and Kong?
But by this time Fang Yun had already canceled the encrypted call, so she couldn't ask any more questions... After all, Fang Yun had been very kind, and he had explained the pros and cons of the matter very clearly when inviting her to temporarily join the Inazuma camp, giving her the right to choose.
"Well, you don't have to be nervous. I have no ill will towards you. Our positions and enemies are the same, and it will be a good thing for Inazuma to be on good terms with you." Fang Yun said, "I have heard from many people that you are very enthusiastic about the mission. Inazuma has a lot of work to do now, and it will be much easier with you around."
Ying nodded frankly. She really didn't need to be modest in this regard.
Paimon nodded repeatedly and agreed, "Yes, the Traveler and I completed many tasks in Mondstadt!"
Yingmei curled her lips and asked, "Who completed the task? Paimon, don't you have Hercules in your mind?"
She still didn't understand how Paimon could spend 300,000 Mora in a month? The monthly salary of the Knight of Favonius was not enough to cover Paimon's food expenses!
"Oh, by the way, Your Highness Fang Yun, there is something I haven't told you." Ying then remembered that she had forgotten something important, and hurriedly informed Fang Yun that someone had incited the people yesterday.
"These people are acting in an organized manner. It is not as simple as it seems. I believe that the Fatui are behind this. They have been plotting in secret ever since the ceremony of inviting the immortals. They even asked me to call in the immortals from Liyue. I have a feeling that they want to muddy the waters to achieve a certain goal." Ying analyzed carefully.
As someone who has participated in the entire process, she can best feel the game between the Fatui and the Seven Stars, and now the Fatui are undoubtedly in the upper hand...because although the Seven Stars have a high status in Liyue, they are nothing compared to the Immortals.
Even the people of Liyue know that the Seven Stars are ever-changing, but Ganyu is forever.
Not only are these immortals extremely powerful, they are also among the founders of Liyue. If a conflict breaks out between them and the Seven Stars, the people of Liyue will definitely listen to the immortals. This is legal suppression!
Under the current circumstances, unless Emperor Geo comes back to life or a descendant of the Emperor suddenly appears, it is impossible for anyone in Liyue to surpass the immortals in terms of legal principles.
"So, if we want to deal with the threat of the Fatui, I think we should not only look for the Seven Stars, but also find the Immortal to explain the matter, so that everyone can unite first and prevent the Fatui's plan from succeeding." Ying gave serious advice, but as she spoke, she found that Fang Yun had no reaction at all.
Yingmei was startled. Although she was not a serious strategist, she knew how troublesome it would be if the monarch did not understand government affairs.
She could only pray that even though Fang Yun didn't understand, he wouldn't interfere. Otherwise, if he did something micromanipulative, she would become the transport captain.
"I know what you mean." Fang Yun lowered his head, and his fingertips lightly brushed across the sword. A dazzling purple lightning flashed and jumped. "But solving the problem doesn't have to be so troublesome. We can also solve the person who raised the problem."
"You mean..." Ying was doubtful, "Wait, we don't have any solid evidence yet."
"Why don't we just go and take a look? If they didn't do it, I'll apologize. If they did... let's just deal with it. I don't have time to play hide-and-seek with them."
“No, the current situation in Liyue is too sensitive. Even if your status is higher than Ningguang’s, if you wantonly cause trouble or even kill people in Liyue, it will only intensify the conflict between Liyue and Inazuma! Then you will be at a disadvantage in the negotiations with Ningguang!”
"I have my own arrangements."
Fang Yun smiled, put away the Bo Luan Yue Bai Jing Jin, and then, under Ying's puzzled gaze, he returned to the room, took out an emerald green sword and tied it around his waist.
When Liyue first rose, the Rock King once walked the earth holding a sword carved from emerald jade.
...
Northland Bank.
The elite members of the Fatui, including the Young Master, gathered together to discuss the final step of the plan.
They did not know that this action was just a deal between their queen and the God of Rock. According to the orders they received, they would seize the Heart of God from the Emperor of Rock under the leadership of the Young Master.
Initially, they planned to unseal Osel on the day of the Immortal Summoning Ceremony and launch an attack when both the Rock King and Him were injured.
But no one expected that Morax would "go first".
Therefore, the Fatui's plan now becomes to find the location of the Immortal Ancestor's transformation and seize the Heart of God. If they fail, they will unseal Osel and force the Seven Stars and the Immortal to hand over the Heart of God.
In general, although everyone had many doubts, because this was a task issued by the Queen herself, no one dared to question the problems.
After all, the Fatui are carefully selected warriors of the Kingdom of Winter, and their loyalty is beyond doubt. They are all determined to die for the Queen.
Although Inazuma's entry was a bit of a surprise to them, they also saw it as an opportunity.
"In the final analysis, the purpose of all our actions is to muddy the waters, spread rumors, win over Liyue merchants, and let immortals enter the market. This is all to distract the energy of the Seven Stars and cause Liyue to fall into internal friction." Yusupov, the head of the Liyue branch, was confident. "In fact, we have also succeeded. The Seven Stars have been busy all this time!"
