Ying abandoned her guard, immediately disengaged from her fighting stance, and began to fight.

“Traveler, we meet again,” the skirmisher said.

Because the traveler didn't know Teppei at this time, and Teppei wasn't dead yet, Ying didn't have any particularly excited emotions when she saw the Sanbing.

Just like when she met the lady last time, Ying was quite calm because a lot of things had happened less.

Rather, they should become 'old friends' after meeting a few more times.

Especially the ladies, who have been "chasing" the travelers since Mondstadt, it's unknown whether they will continue to do so in the countries that follow.

If Lin Qiu knew Ying's doubts, he would tell her that it wouldn't happen, because it turned into a memorial service.

Yingmei ignored what the soldiers were saying and took out the communication device that Lin Qiu had given her.

“Hey, I’m surrounded, help me!” Ying mimicked Paimon.

"Aren't you done yet? I'm getting impatient waiting." Ying learned this phrase from playing Dou Dizhu (a card game) with Lin Qiu.

She doesn't talk much normally, but when she does, she immediately imitates Paimon and Lin Qiu, and she's just as eager to learn as Paimon.

She was waiting for Lin Qiu, while Lin Qiu was waiting for Kujo Sara, who hadn't even put on her armor yet.

It's not that Kujo Sara was too slow; it's mainly because Yingmei acted too quickly. She had already sneaked into the dungeon when she sent the message to Lin Qiu.

Lin Qiu had just informed Kujo Sara when Yingmei had already finished dealing with the Fools; she was incredibly efficient.

"Still in the mood for chatting?" the skirmisher said coldly, waving his hand as the Fools' soldiers moved forward.

"Here we come," Lin Qiu said, indicating that everything was ready.

Paimon yelled, "Wait a minute!"

The skirmisher raised his hand, signaling the Fools' soldiers to stop, and frowned as he looked at Paimon.

Although they are indeed in the lead now, the Traveler's side should not be underestimated. He was also curious about what the little white creature was going to say. Did it have a trump card up its sleeve?

For a moment, Lin Qiu and the Fools stopped what they were doing, wanting to see what Paimon had to say.

“Next up are Lin Qiu, that prophet, the skirmisher, and the lady. Do you know what that means?” Paimon said, hands on his hips.

"It's teleportation again..." The skirmisher recalled his encounter with Mona before.

The woman was also somewhat surprised; she hadn't known that prophets could be teleported over.

Their intelligence network knew that Lin Qiu had the ability to teleport people instantly, so they never considered capturing him.

Lin Qiu shouldn't be called Lin Qiu, he should be called Ni Qiu, because he's impossible to catch.

Like a rabbit, you never know where he has another hole.

However, their intelligence always assumed that Lin Qiu's teleportation ability was fixed-point teleportation, but they never expected that he could teleport directly to someone else's side.

It's normal that the Fools don't know, since Lin Qiu doesn't give anchor points to the Fools when he teleports them, so they don't yet know that the key to teleportation is the pocket anchor point.

The soldiers and the lady were somewhat wary. Putting aside Lin Qiu's strength, the main problem was that you didn't know who he would bring with him when he teleported over!

"What does it mean?" The executives were all silent, but one of the Fools couldn't help but ask.

Just when everyone thought Paimon was going to say something threatening to persuade them to surrender, Paimon raised his little head proudly and said, "It means this is a pass (Autumn)!"

"..."

"..."

The scene fell silent for a moment, and the tense situation calmed down considerably.

Lin Qiu teleported over directly, grabbed it, and instantly refined it—no, he rubbed it for a while.

"You really love copying me! You even copy my lame jokes!" Lin Qiu 'fiercely' rubbed Paimon.

"Ugh~ Help~!"

No one paid any attention to Paimon, and Kujo Sara and Yae no Miko, who had come with Lin Qiu, faced the Fools directly.

“Fools! Master… he has indeed betrayed the Shogun.” Kujo Sara gritted her teeth.

She respected Kujo Takayuki, but Kujo Takayuki betrayed someone she respected even more.

Choosing between the two was not what Kujo Sara wanted, but she had no choice at this moment.

"Ha, betrayal?" the straggler scoffed. "That idiot's actions are too kind to call it betrayal."

The soldier declared, "No one understands betrayal better than me."

"Further words are useless!" Kujo Sara drew his sword.

Lightning surged in the soldiers' hands, and battle was about to break out.

"Wait a minute!" It was that familiar "wait a minute" again, but this time it wasn't Paimon who shouted those three words, but Lin Qiu, who was pinching Paimon's face.

The prophet's words still carry considerable weight, and the crowd stopped again.

This battle was expected to be a bloody and fierce one, but it has turned out to be just like 'Inch Stop', with each fight being stopped just before it's about to 'do'.

Everyone wanted to hear what profound insights Lin Qiu, the prophet, had to offer, but Yingmei watched Lin Qiu warily.

This kid has a history of cheating, is he going to tell another lame joke? Playing the same trick too often gets boring!

Fortunately, Lin Qiu wasn't trying to tell lame jokes; he was quite serious when he was being serious.

“Fools, I’m here to negotiate,” Lin Qiu said.

He wasn't afraid of the Fools, but rather because the Fools would still be useful afterward.

"What are the conditions?" the skirmisher asked, frowning.

Lin Qiu took out a 'chess piece'—'Bishop', which was none other than Shadow's Heart of God.

This was given to him by Yae no Miko, because Lin Qiu had mentioned beforehand that this would be needed when negotiating terms.

The prerequisite for obtaining the Heart of God is that Lin Qiu made a guarantee for Inazuma's future, and there is also a small, non-essential condition that he will write a story for Shadow and Divine Child later.

Lei Movie believes that Yae no Miko can handle the Heart of God and will not suffer any losses.

Yae no Miko believed that Lin Qiu could handle the Heart of God and would not suffer any losses.

Lin Qiu believed that the Ice God could handle the Heart of God and would not suffer any losses.

Everyone has a bright future.

"Do you want it?" Lin Qiu shook his divine heart.

The skirmishers were like kittens seeing a cat toy, their eyes fixed on the Heart of God, unable to look away.

"Conditions?" the skirmisher asked directly.

Character Voice Lines - Skirmisher: About Lin Qiu

"You mean him... Avoid contact with him, or you might get tricked by him."

Chapter 186 Who betrayed the general?

You came here to negotiate? Well then, let me see what kind of conditions would make you give up a Heart of God.

For the scattered soldiers, the Heart of God is very important, but for Yingbao and Lin Qiu, it is really not important. In fact, not having the Heart of God is even more important.

Putting everything else aside, once you lose the Heart of God, Winter won't be watching you anymore, which will save you a lot of trouble.

Moreover, the fact that the Fools were able to seize the Heart of God might also be part of the 'fate' of Heaven's justice.

Even if it's not within 'fate', it wouldn't be bad for Lin Qiu to have the plot unfold in a direction he knows well.

"The condition is that in future activities and related actions in Fontaine, you Fools must follow my instructions," Lin Qiu said.

Lin Qiu plans to "stage a play" in Fontainebleau, a play arranged by "fate".

This play was not only performed for the sake of justice, but also for Navelette.

“That’s impossible,” the woman refused outright.

Even if the Fools were willing to listen to anyone other than the Queen, it wouldn't work.

Because the event in Fontaine is related to the heart of the water god, we can't abandon the water god for the heart of the thunder god, can we?

"Don't worry, just be good and listen to me. In the future, you will also be able to obtain the Heart of the Water God," Lin Qiu said.

"Madam, you don't want the Ice God to lose the divine hearts of the Thunder God and the Water God because of your refusal, do you?"

The woman fell silent. The future the prophet spoke of was indeed very valuable.

"Think it over carefully. If you refuse, we'll have no choice but to take action." Lin Qiu put away his Divine Heart and made a blatant threat.

“…I will consult the Queen,” Rosalind said.

They certainly don't have the right to make such a decision; the final decision should be made by the Queen or the buffoon.

But no matter what, it's impossible to snatch the Heart of God here; the two of them can't possibly defeat the opposing lineup.

The Fools have many soldiers, but if the battle ends in a draw, both sides will be severely injured, and it's not certain that they can even capture the enemy, which would be a huge loss.

“That’s more like it. Leaving Inazuma now will save your life,” Lin Qiu said with a smile.

Rosalyn understood that if she continued to stay in Inazuma, she would likely die in the end, and now Lin Qiu had saved her.

But the proud Rosalyn couldn't stand Lin Qiu saying such things, and driven by her pride, she retorted.

"Hmph, I don't need your help. Death has never been a scary thing for me."

Lin Qiu nodded. For Rosalyn, death might really be a relief, but the fear of facing death is not something to be happy about.

“I never expected to be cooperating with you all…” said the soldier.

"I didn't expect that. I thought Lin Qiu would definitely set you all on fire!" Even though Lin Qiu was holding him back, Paimon was still attacking.

“A noisy little toy.” The skirmisher glanced at Paimon.

Paimon, being pinched by Lin Qiu, seemed to have grown bolder. "Who are you calling a little toy? You... um... big plate head!"

The soldiers ignored Paimon and instead turned their attention to Kujo Sara, who still seemed hostile.

Kujo Sara frowned. Emotionally, she didn't want to let the Fools escape like this; they should all be captured and brought before the Shogun for trial.

However, reason told her that Lin Qiu's actions were not necessarily a bad thing. By eliminating the external factor of the Fools, Inazuma could properly deal with the internal troubles.

I glanced at Yae no Miko, the pink-haired girl who seemed to be watching from the sidelines as if it were none of her business.

Kujo Sara sheathed her sword and retreated to Lin Qiu and the others' side.

Because the Evil Eye Factory has not yet begun distributing Evil Eyes on a large scale, ordinary people like Zheping have not suffered yet, which is why everyone can negotiate peacefully here.

As for the tragedies of others, to be honest, the main responsibility definitely lies with Yingbao. Since she has the right to do so, she should bear the responsibility.

The secondary responsibility lies with the two sycophants who concealed the truth from their superiors; without them, none of this would have happened.

If it weren't for their obstruction of the Society's reports, even the Shadow Treasure of the Private Studio would have known about some of the things that happened outside of 'Eternity'.

Daidai Ying thought she knew everything, but little did she know that everything she knew was what others wanted her to know.

She was unaware even of the thunderstorms surrounding the Inazuma coast; one could only say she was so oblivious to the world around her that she was completely shut out of her comfort zone.

When she finally learned the truth, tears streamed down her face. Eternity isn't something you can simply have just because you want it.

In the end, they started to "rest and recuperate." To prevent similar incidents from happening again, General Raiden was even prohibited from using force and handling government affairs during his rest period.

They were clearly aware of their mistake.

Getting back to the main point, Lin Qiu and the Fools have reached a temporary agreement, and neither side intends to take further action.

The Heart of God is still in Lin Qiu's hands and has not been given to the Fools in advance.

When everyone walked out of the dungeon, Kujo Takayuki was dumbfounded.

What happened? You two stayed inside for ages, and then you came out 'hand in hand'?

The fact that you all came out unharmed makes me, who was lying in ambush here, feel a bit dumbfounded.

Wait, this isn't right! Who's trying to frame me today?! Kujo Sara! You're trying to frame me?

Wait a minute, why is even Yae no Kami here? What's going on?

Kujo Takayuki suddenly felt out of touch with the times. He could guess that the magistrate would send someone, and that Kujo Sara might also return, but he didn't expect that Yae no Miko would be there as well.
