Life in Xumi City is as peaceful as ever.
Although the Apostolic Order has been doing a lot of dirty tricks recently, causing the Grand Bazaar to close down.
But without the Grand Bazaar, life has to go on, right?
Moreover, the newly issued decrees issued by the Ecclesiastical Order are all aimed at the spread of art and culture, and do not have much impact on the daily lives of civilians.
Therefore, the closure of the Grand Bazaar was slowly forgotten by the civilians who were busy making a living.
Of course.
Not everyone has forgotten the Grand Bazaar.
For example, the vendors who originally set up stalls in the Grand Bazaar, the staff of the Grand Bazaar, and the actors who performed in the Grand Bazaar.
Among them is the most famous dancer of the Grand Bazaar, Nilu.
This beautiful girl with red hair is the mainstay of the Zubair Theater in the Grand Bazaar.
In Xiacheng District of Xumi City, a person may have no money or knowledge, but he can never say that he has never seen Nilu dance.
Whether they are knowledgeable scholars or mercenaries who lick blood with their swords, they will be Nilu's most loyal audience whenever they have free time.
People will never be stingy with their praises, nor will they be stingy with their rewards. This has also made the business of Zubair Theater more and more prosperous, and even the vendors in the entire Grand Bazaar have a prosperous business.
Especially on the days when Nelu performs, the entire Grand Bazaar will be jammed with her audience.
But later, the Apostolic Council began to crack down on useless artistic activities, which also made the Grand Bazaar become a lot more deserted, and the Zubair Theater also changed from its original glory to the current situation where it cannot make ends meet and cannot even repair the theater.
Fortunately, Mr. Zubair, the owner of Zubair Theater, is a person who truly knows how to appreciate art.
For the dreams of these actors, he willingly traveled around for the Zubair Theater and struggled to maintain the operation of the Zubair Theatre.
only.
Now, under the great sage's decree, he didn't even have a chance to maintain the theater.
And the disappointed Nilu didn't show up again for many days.
Mr. Zubair couldn't help but feel worried about this and visited Nilu's house several times. However, he became more worried every time he was treated at Nilu's house.
Because he didn't find Nilu at all.
Even worse.
The fallen leaves in front of Nilu's house are already very thick. It is obvious that she has not been back recently and has not even cleaned the fallen leaves in front of the door.
"Nilu, please don't let anything happen to you."
Mr. Zubair, who once again returned without success, looked up at the lofty Apostle House and sighed heavily.
What Mr. Zubair didn’t know was that.
In fact, as early as when the Great Sage personally went to the Grand Bazaar to issue a ban, a person came to Nilu and asked a question: "Do you want the art of dance to be passed down in Xumi City forever?"
When she heard this, Nilu, who was already frustrated, decisively followed the man.
This journey took nearly a month.
No one knows where she went or what she did.
So where is Nelu now?
The Port of Ormos is exceptionally peaceful.
Actually.
Since the last time a strange traveler taught the son of the local snake Fahro a lesson, there has been a brief period of peace in the Port of Ormos.
All the mercenary groups that were domineering in the port knew that a ruthless character was coming to the Port of Ormos. Even the boss of Fahro's son, Lunia, was beaten up.
Out of fear, the mercenary groups entrenched here ordered their younger brothers to pay attention to their words and deeds and not to offend the wrong people.
Such peace.
Until a certain unknown mercenary group high-profilely robbed a batch of goods belonging to the Order, and they were gone forever.
Loot the things from the Order here in the Port of Ormos.
That was not just a slap in the face of Jiaolingin, but also threw Jiaolingin's face on the ground, spat on it several times, and stepped on it several times.
So not only the thirty-man regiment responsible for maintaining order sent many people, but also two discipline officers.
The reason for all this fanfare was to investigate this robbery.
However, something unexpected happened again.
Only this time, the accident was no longer the cargo ship of the Order, but the investigation team of the Order that came to investigate.
The two discipline officials were killed.
Now things are getting serious.
Even the leader of the Disciplinary Officers, the Disciplinary Officer Seno, personally came to investigate.
The famous Disciplinary Officer took action, and the murderer of the Disciplinary Officer's murder case was quickly found.
"Luniya, the leader of the Sons of Fahro, is the murderer. They were responsible for the murder of the disciplinary officer and the robbery of the merchant ship."
People in Port Olmos still remember the way the young-looking Dafeng Disciplinary Officer grabbed the prisoner and announced the results of the investigation on the high platform.
As a result, this mercenary group that had been entrenched in the Port of Ormos for many years was eradicated by the Order. No one in the group escaped, and they were all captured and brought back to Xumi City for trial.
Within a few days, the disciplinary officials returned to the Port of Olmos to arrest people again with great fanfare.
Their reason is simple.
Lunia has confessed a lot of things, and her people have confessed even more. Now the disciplinary officials can confirm that the recent serial robberies of merchant ships in Ormos Port are almost all related to the mercenary group in the port.
I have witnesses.
Like tigers rushing into the sheepfold, the discipline officials captured 90% of the mercenary group in the Port of Ormos, leaving only a few members of the thirty-man group who needed to maintain order.
However, due to the sharp reduction in manpower, the remaining members of the thirty-man regiment can only run back and forth between the city and the port tomorrow without tears, and have no energy to maintain local laws.
Good thing.
The port of Ormos was quiet during this time.
Nothing happened.
In a spacious and bright house in Port Ormos.
Nilu, who had disappeared for a long time, brewed a pot of fine tea from Liyue Qiaoying Village. The moment she opened the lid of the pot, the aroma of tea overflowed, and the smell was refreshing.
Then, she poured out a cup of tea and handed it to a handsome man leaning on the bed.
The man was extremely handsome, but his face was paper-thin, without a trace of blood. From his open lapel, you could see a thick bandage wrapped around his left chest.
He took the tea cup from Nilu's hand, blew it gently, took a cautious sip, and then let out a comfortable sigh.
"Mr. Pantalone, your injury doesn't matter."
Looking at the handsome man whose aura was still a little arrogant, Nilu said with some worry.
Yes.
Lying here is Pantalone, who was seriously injured after the battle with Seno.
He was also the one who brought Nilu out of Xumi City.
"It's okay. At least it won't delay things later."
Pantalone smiled gently, then lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
Pantalone was as elegant as ever, and even though he was so seriously injured, he was still able to maintain his image as a gentleman.
"Mr. Pantalone, when do you plan to implement the plan you told Mr. Alhaysen before?"
While talking, Nilu sat obediently on a chair and looked at Pantalone expectantly.
"Haha, it's almost done, it's almost done, don't be impatient."
Pantalone changed into a more comfortable position, holding the tea cup and looking at the blue sea outside the window, and said with a smile: "As long as that guy moves his hands, we will be fine here."
"That rascal?"
Nelu asked in confusion: "Mr. Pantalone, who are you talking about?"
"Huh, what a bastard."
Mentioning this person, Pantalone's good mood disappeared without a trace in an instant: "Nilu, when you see this guy in the future, you must stay away from him. This is the most heartless person on the continent of Teyvat. He is a ruthless, greedy, and calculating bastard. Even if you are his collaborator, he will sell you out for his own benefit. Those who cooperate with him will lose everything at least, or lose their lives at worst. Not even guaranteed.”
"Hiss--it's so scary. Then, what's his name?"
"In Mondstadt, his name is Albert Sebastian, in Solstice, his name is Troy Shenetzovich, in Liyue, his name is Lin Feng, in short, you remember, as long as you meet and If one of these three names can match you, stay away from him, and no matter what he says, don't agree."
"Oh well."
Nilu nodded in understanding.
However, what was thinking in her mind was, 'Can one person really have so many names?' '
"Ah sneeze——"
"Ah sneeze——!"
In Tinari's house in Huachengguo, Lin Feng sneezed several times in succession.
Looking at the people with strange eyes, he rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said, "It's none of my business. Someone must be saying bad things about me behind my back."
"Ahem——"
Tinari coughed lightly: "Don't talk about irrelevant topics during the meeting."
There are a total of four people sitting in this room at this time.
In addition to Seno, who was familiar to Lin Feng and Tinari, there was also a strong and handsome gray-haired man sitting there.
This is the helper that Lin Feng once suggested Seno find, Al Haisen.
Clerk of the Order.
A very idle civil servant, but every time he saw his muscular arms, Lin Feng could not help but think of a picture he had seen before.
[Brother, where did you develop these muscles? 】
[Reading books in the library. 】
"puff--"
As he thought about it, Lin Feng couldn't help laughing again.
Such rude behavior naturally made Tinari start knocking on the table again: "Mr. Lin Feng, please be more serious."
"Oh, okay, sorry, sorry, I just accidentally thought of something happy."
Lin Feng waved his hand, signaling Tinari to continue.
Tinari, who knew that his temper was like this, shook his head helplessly, and continued the previous topic: "Elhaysen has found out the location of the little Lucky Grass King. Now our problem is how to break into the heavily defended Jingshan." Palace, rescue Lord Grass God."
"And there is also a very serious issue, that is the second executive officer [Doctor] of the Fools."
The topic suddenly came to [Doctor].
Everyone in the room turned their attention to Lin Feng.
"What do you want to see me do?"
Lin Feng leaned on the chair and said lazily: "Aren't you the ones who are thinking of ideas?"
He didn't care at all about the plan to save the Grass God.
Including that he came to Huachengguo this time simply because Seno found him and insisted on coming. Otherwise, he should be talking to Dotore in Xumi City now about how to resolve the matter between them.
This is the confidence that strength brings.
When he first arrived in Xumi, Lin Feng arranged a lot of things out of fear of Dotore.
From the beginning of containing the God-making plan of the Order to instigating the rebellion of the senior figures of the Order, he has delayed the progress of the God-creation plan to a great extent by relying on these cunning operations.
But things are different now.
The power given by Apep is very powerful. Lin Feng, who is so powerful that he possesses seven kinds of divine power, really feels that he has hope of defeating Dotore and no longer needs to be afraid of him as before.
And with Apep's original grass elemental power, he doesn't need to force the relatively weaker grass god power, he only needs to be able to keep the World Tree from withering.
Lin Feng's indifferent attitude made Tinari helplessly shake his head again.
Seno and Elhaysen couldn't help but frown. They couldn't understand what Lin Feng was thinking. Lin Feng was the one who took the initiative to save the Grass God. He also gave many opinions. Why did this guy suddenly look indifferent now? look.
But no matter what Lin Feng's attitude is, things still need to be said.
This time it was Seno who spoke: "I have cleaned up the port of Ormos, and all the spies of the Order have been replaced by my people. On the day the plan is implemented, I can have my people turn away the prisoners. Rush to Xumi City in the name of the enemy and take over the defense force of Xumi City."
"In the name of submitting research results, Tinari will go deep into the Order Academy, find the key to the mechanical warehouse, and hide it so that Azar will not have the opportunity to use it."
"We have also invited the Nelu dancer who is capable of holding the Flower God's Festival. Once our 'prisoner' obtains the right to operate the void terminal, we can let Nelu openly challenge Azar just now. issued an art ban. In this case, when he sees Nilu, Azar will definitely issue this ban again and order the soldiers to capture Nilu. Our 'prisoners' will also have the opportunity to tamper with this order and serve for We are looking for Lord Grass God to buy time."
"If all our plans fail, then we must be prepared to use force to forcefully break through the Apostolic Order."
"But if we fail, you know the consequences."
Seno looked around and saw that no one raised any objections, so he spoke again: "There is still a big problem before us."
"According to the defected executive officer of the Fools, there are currently four Dotorei in the Order, and one of them is very powerful. This is our biggest obstacle to saving the Grass God this time."
"Our plan is basically to destroy his god-making plan, and he won't just sit idly by."
"In other words, we need to face four extremely powerful opponents. Let me remind you in advance that I have personally experienced the strength of Dotore. It is very strong and I have no power to fight back."
"Therefore, if this problem is not solved, the chance of failure of our plan will always be high."
After saying this, the room suddenly fell into deathly silence.
There are four more who can defeat Sano.
With their strength, they are no match at all.
Just when everyone was thinking hard about how to deal with Dotore, Lin Feng, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up and said something serious: "Leave Dotore to me, you go and do your own thing."
