Turn the perspective back to the current Liyue Port.
Outside the covered bridge of Feiyunpo, it was the thick night of Liyue. The dim light from the lights cast a thin veil over Liyue Harbor. At this time, the office on the top floor of Beiguo Bank was also burning with light. lights.
"I know what Bingxue is longing for, but that chess piece is no longer in my hand."
Famas put the ring symbolizing the honor of the Arjuna family on his left hand, and then put away the black sword on the table.
Hearing the young man's response, Pantalone was not too disappointed. After all, he had expected before going to Liyue as an envoy that Famas' Heart of God would not be so easy to obtain.
"Then please pardon my presumption, Your Majesty Harpas, can I know which lucky person has won the favor of the gods?"
Pantalone stared into Famas's red eyes, regretfully spread out her hands covered with rings, and pretended to ask sincerely.
"No... Although I am happy to provide help to like-minded friends, I also know that it is not difficult to find out the whereabouts of the Heart of God by fooling people."
"But except for me, the broken heart of God still carries the wishes of many Munata soldiers. Before the Dragonborn returns to Nata... no one can take it away."
Famas's rejection was plain and direct, and the undoubted warning in his words was extremely solemn, causing Pantalone to frown slightly.
Thanks to the intelligence returned by Madam and Dadalia, Pantalone also knew the beginning and end of this war, and was even more aware of "Madam"'s deployment of the resources of the Fools in Liyue to secretly promote the progress of the war.
Famas was able to sit calmly in the Northland Bank and talk to himself. In addition to the unclear legends from the ancient times, I am afraid there is also the reason why Rosalin provided help earlier.
It's a pity that the crazy woman is too proud and arrogant, and has extreme confidence in the power bestowed by Her Majesty the Queen. If she continues like this, she will definitely fall into her folly.
Pantalone shook her head secretly, trying to figure out the meaning of Famas's words. Then she lowered her eyes slightly, took out two badges carved with rock patterns from the drawer in the office, and handed them to the young man.
"I fully understand your feelings, but as the executive officer of the Fools, I must carry out Her Majesty the Queen's will..."
Pantalone's posture was very elegant, pointing to the badge on the table to explain.
"Coincidentally, I have a colleague codenamed "Doctor" who has produced this kind of badge that can integrate and control the hive mind. Although it is still in the experimental stage, I think these badges can also accommodate Muna The wishes of the tower soldiers. "
"The Fools have no reservations about allies who fulfill the ambition of the White Star in Winter. Maybe this can be of help to you?"
After listening to Pantalone's probing words, Famas casually picked up the black-yellow badge and explored it. The blood-colored divine power followed the embossed patterns on the badge and penetrated deep into the interior. Indeed, he found an extremely exquisite mechanical structure and weird core inside.
Although it looks like a single piece of stone, upon closer inspection, each facet of the medallion reflects several points of light.
If Ning Guang, Gan Yu and others appeared here at this moment, they would definitely find that the badge Pantalone took out was exactly the same as the membership badge issued to Qixing by Ning Lan, the director of Yin Yuan Hall.
"Yes, this badge is very cleverly made, but I think the original intention of this hidden design is not to help others, but to steal some people's wishes without knowing it, right?"
Famas carefully studied the pattern on the badge, and then gently flipped the pin on the back of the badge. When the pin connected with the buckle, the precise structure inside the badge was officially activated.
This seems to be a deliberate design to avoid being discovered by users.
"Your wisdom is just like your achievements in climbing the world. This small badge is also one of my tasks when I came to Liyue."
Pantalone did not hesitate to express his praises and cleared his throat to tell Famas about his second mission in Liyue.
"You must know that Liyue has had seven stars and eight gates since ancient times. I don't need to go into details about the seven stars. They were either recommended by their predecessors or directly named by the Rock God Morax. They surround the Rock God and serve him. Driven.”
"They strictly follow the oracle issued by Morax every year, and govern on their behalf conscientiously. They dare not be tired at all. It can be said that the status of the Seven Stars of Liyue is almost equal to that of us fools and executives."
Pantalone refilled the already bottomed tea, took a sip, hung her glasses chain, and smiled as before, still as gentle and elegant as when she first saw him.
"But the heads of the Eight Sects of Liyue are mostly domestic merchants. They are different from the Seven Stars. To borrow the theory of some schools, merchants are the most bloodthirsty beasts. They act according to the wind, are double-dealing, and only have interests and calculations in their eyes."
"Ning Lan, the director of the Yinyuan Hall who controls the Liyue Salt Industry, contacted us privately after a public banquet held by fools and mentioned the demon named "Heulia"..."
The big banker's eloquence was indeed impeccable, but Famas discovered that he had already known the story Pantalone told from Ye Lan, so he played with the badge in his hand and interrupted the eloquent big banker:
"You are indeed the troublemaker in the plan to resurrect Heulia... No wonder Yin Yuan Hall dares to compete with Qixing like this."
Before Pantalone even mentioned the cooperation with Yin Yuan Hall, Famas expressed emotion as if he had anticipated the actions of the Fools. This gesture also made the big banker speechless for a moment, and then he understood that the young man had already known about Yin Yuan Hall. planning.
"...It seems that Qixing is not as unbearable as I thought. If my guess is correct, your news should come from the woman named "Ye Lan", right? "
Pantalone casually changed the subject and opened her mouth to test Famas's source of information, but the boy did not answer the question. Instead, he tilted his head and asked:
"Even an outsider like me has heard about Yinyuan Hall's plan. Do you think Liyue Qixing will know nothing about this matter?"
"This plan, which must be kept completely secret, failed the moment the news leaked."
"The Fools are not thinking about how to distance themselves from the Silver Plains Hall at this time, yet they still dare to send you to escort these badges of control wishes. It seems that your status among the executive officers is not very good?"
Famas opened his mouth with a sinister taunt, but Pantalone was so cunning, her smiling expression did not change at all, and she even raised her hands to applaud with great appreciation.
"As expected of a god who has led the resistance war, your analysis is very reasonable, but we have already anticipated the leak of intelligence... Besides, I did not say that the goal of the Fools is to ensure the plan to resurrect Heulia. Successfully implemented…”
Pantalone put away the badge on the table and gently stroked the rock pattern on the front of the badge.
"The so-called experiment of resurrecting Heulia is just a trivial trial in the "Doctor's" god-making plan. When the Silver Plains Hall first requested the help of the Fools, we had no intention of successfully resurrecting Heulia. "
"After all... it is more difficult to resurrect the old gods that have passed away than to create new gods."
"As for this batch of badges, although the Fools provided drawings and samples, they were independently produced and assembled by Yinyuan Hall in Liyue itself."
"The 'Doctor' just wants Yin Yuan Hall to be a victim to test the functionality of the 'Hive Machine' for him to ensure that it can be effective in subsequent plans... Throughout the entire plan, the fools almost only watched but did not act." The presence. "
Pantalone smiled and told the fools' plan, the dark blue pendant on her earlobe kept shaking, and the indifference and blasphemy in her words were shocking.
"Qixing...what else can you find out?"
Famas was also impressed by Dotore's cruelty and disregard for life. Just when he was about to say something, there was a regular knock on the door behind him. (End of chapter)
