We agreed to be a tour guide, how did it become the law of nature?

Even if Tartaglia was at the Northland Bank just now, she may have run away now. It seems that we have to notify Ye Lan. Maybe she can find some clues here.

After Keqing personally checked the secret passage, she had a rough idea in her mind.

"President Andre, I now suspect that your Winter Nation's Fatui planned and attacked the Rock King. Please cooperate with our investigation."

"If we find out that we made a mistake, we will naturally give your country an explanation."

Keqing did not give the other party the right to negotiate and immediately ordered people to take control of the entire Northland Bank.

Although there is no restriction on the normal business transactions of banks, anyone with a little common sense will not come to Northland Bank at this time.

……

On a street somewhere in Liyue, Hu Tao ran back to the Hall of Rebirth panting, her plum blossom eyes filled with shock and an indescribable joy.

Originally, Hu Tao was not very interested in the ceremony of inviting the immortals.

He's just the Rock Emperor. He shows up every year and speaks so slowly that no one can understand him. What's so good about him? You might as well just post a few more flyers.

If Hu Tao had not accepted Shen Fei's commission to hold the ceremony of sending off the immortals, she would not have come up with the idea of ​​stopping by to take a look after everything was ready.

It didn't matter that he took a look, he actually witnessed the death of Emperor Rock King with his own eyes!

The Rock King will fall one day!

Hu Tao felt confused for a moment because she remembered her deceased grandfather.

But soon his heart was filled with joy, because even if it was the Rock King, he would have to have a funeral after his death, right?

Isn't their Wangsheng Hall the place in Liyue that is specifically responsible for matters like this?

It seems that the ceremony of sending off the immortals is not only for those deceased immortals mentioned by Shen Fei, but also for the Rock King Emperor.

Even though the Seven Stars didn't say anything, they shouldn't deny their debt when the time comes, right?

With her mind in a mess, Hu Tao didn't pay attention when she stepped over the threshold and almost tripped.

"Why is Hall Master so panicked?" After the show, Zhongli, who was originally sitting here leisurely drinking tea, looked at this scene with a slightly changed expression.

He could naturally guess the reason, but the hall master, who was usually lively, cunning and carefree, was hardly affected by anything except the death of his grandfather when he was a child.

Even the hall master is like this. It seems that my fake death will cause great psychological impact to many people.

Thinking of this, Zhongli couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Hey! Guest Zhongli, did you know? Something big has happened!" Hu Tao spread her arms and said in an exaggerated tone: "Emperor Yanwang has passed away! It seems that he was assassinated. Liyue Harbor is now in chaos!"

Chaos, this was exactly what Zhongli wanted to see.

The response of the Seven Stars, the accountability of the Immortals, the Fatui who are secretly stirring up trouble, and the two mysterious travelers who brought Barbatos out of Mondstadt.

Although Zhongli could not predict the final outcome, after friendly communication with Barbatos, he still left a branch line that met his requirements.

"Keqing, you are really worthy of being called the guest! You can remain so calm upon hearing the news of the death of Emperor Yanwang! Could it be that you are the murderer?" Hu Tao said with a smile.

Zhongli raised his eyebrows, and said with a somewhat helpless tone: "The hall master is really a joke, how could I possibly have the ability to assassinate the emperor."

"Of course I was kidding you. Okay, stop talking nonsense and come and help me." Walnut walked towards the warehouse where the props were stored.

"Originally, there were only a few immortals as our clients. Now we have the Emperor, so let's do the ceremony of sending the immortals together."

Sending off the immortals?

Upon hearing that Hu Tao wanted to follow tradition and hold a ceremony to send off the immortals for him, Zhongli thought this was a good idea and immediately stood up and followed her.

Liyue Port, Yuehai Pavilion.

This place seems to be at peace with the world, even though there are rumors everywhere and the world seems to be changing drastically.

Time still passes slowly here, with only the rustling sound of ink sweeping across paper, or the sound of files being stacked.

"It's really different here. By the way, if we just go over and tell Ganyu, wouldn't that be a bit too direct? Will she be able to accept it?"

Paimon, the God's Mouth, hardly rested for a moment, and kept talking all the way.

Even when she came to Yue Hai Pavilion, she could immediately find other things to say.

In the center of the open space below the attic, Shen He, with his snow-like hair, was dancing with a spear. Bits of frost surrounded his body, reflecting colorful light under the sun, which was extremely beautiful.

"It's you." Shen He stopped when he saw Shen Fei and others.

After a pause, she tilted her head again, as if she had thought of something: "Would you like some tea?"

Shen Fei walked up to her and handed her two Qingxin. When Shen He took them with both hands, he touched her head and said, "Emperor Yanwang has passed away. Let's inform Ganyu."

This news did not cause any ripples in Shen He's heart. She squatted on the ground, chewing Qingxin in her mouth, feeling the sunshine above her head, and couldn't help saying, "It's so warm."

pat...

In contrast, Ganyu's eyes were dull and the pen in her hand fell to the ground.

"Emperor, the Emperor..."

It took Ganyu a long time to react. She stretched out her hand as if she wanted to grab something, but all she could touch in front of her were piles of cold documents.

Tears blurred her eyes, but even so, Ganyu found that she was not particularly sad.

"Ganyu, do you want to go out for a walk? The Rock Emperor has passed away, and the contract that has lasted for three thousand years has come to an end." Shen Fei asked.

contract……

Ganyu wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at the countless documents on the table. Her thoughts seemed to go back to 3000 years ago, when the Emperor and she signed the contract.

3000 years have passed in a flash. Ganyu has witnessed the creation of Liyue Harbor and the succession of countless generations of Liyue Seven Stars. During this time, she also roughly realized the emotions placed on her.

Trust, respect, dependence, admiration...

Human life is small and short, and it is easy to wither like autumn leaves.

No matter how familiar someone was in the past, when you come to your senses, you will find that the other person has already turned into a handful of earth.

A hundred years is only a few tenths of Ganyu's life.

Perhaps when Ganyu first assisted Liyue in handling various affairs and gained the respect of others, she felt touched and felt that she played a similar role to the Emperor.

But after thousands of years, work seems to have become just the fulfillment of a contract, and the emotion called loneliness has become increasingly intense.

Now, even the emperor has passed away.

Liyue is changing with each passing day, but I seem to have remained in the same place. Perhaps one day, even Master Liuyun Jiefeng and the others will disappear from this world.

When thinking of this, Ganyu was like a wounded little animal, with a look of fear in her eyes and her body trembling slightly.
