Chapter 348
"They didn't have a special constitution, but they had a very good relationship with Lisa, an inner sect disciple who is highly valued in Shushan."
"Under Lisa's recommendation, they went to participate in the assessment, and all passed the three levels of Heart-Questioning and stayed in Shushan."
"Later, it was Yae Miko from Inazuma. She was also recommended by Miss Ganyu, the secretary of the Liyue Qixing."
"It is said that she possesses a very strong special constitution, which itself can be exempted from Heart-Questioning, but that special constitution is said to be very dangerous."
"The Shushan Sect Master told her that it is better to firm up her will through immortal cultivation without Heart-Questioning."
"These are all people who didn't participate in the mountain-opening ceremony but joined Shushan."
Upon hearing this, the Cryo Archon nodded thoughtfully, and then simply wrote a few words in her notebook.
After a while, she looked up at the Debt Collector.
"If I understand correctly, basically, the way to avoid the mountain-opening ceremony and join Shushan is…"
"Have a recommendation from at least an inner sect disciple of Shushan, so that you can have the opportunity to participate in the assessment at a time other than the mountain-opening ceremony."
"Besides the inner sect recommendation, you must have the ability to step through three levels of Heart-Questioning."
"Best of all, possess a special constitution, and you have a chance to be exempted from the test."
The Debt Collector nodded repeatedly, looking at the Cryo Archon with admiration.
He seemed to be impressed by her integrating a brand-new way to join Shushan so quickly.
Thinking about it, the Debt Collector added:
"Best of all, it's a divine body, which can not only be exempted from the Heart-Questioning Array, but also have the opportunity to be taught personally by the Sect Master."
"Shushan currently has three divine bodies. Keli is the Sect Master's direct disciple, and the remaining Traveler and Paimon are also taught personally by the Sect Master."
This remark made the Cryo Archon and the others speechless.
Divine body…
That thing sounds outrageous just by listening to it.
Even if the Cryo Archon is full of confidence in herself, she at most fantasizes about having a special constitution.
Divine body?
Better not be too ambitious.
"Your Majesty, if these are the conditions, it's actually not very difficult for us."
Signora leaned into the Cryo Archon's ear and said happily:
"Tartaglia can do the recommendation of an inner sect disciple. Three levels of Heart-Questioning sounds like living three lives is difficult."
"But since so many people can do it, we might not be able to."
"As for the special constitution…"
Signora pursed her lips, and even though she was fanatically crazy about the Cryo Archon, she didn't dare to say harsh words, and said tactfully:
"We don't hope for a divine body, but I suppose Your Majesty definitely has no problem with a special constitution and a better spiritual root."
"In short, we just have to wait for Tartaglia to come out."
The Cryo Archon nodded in recognition, and then sighed:
"If we could know our talent in advance…"
"This… is really possible."
Signora pursed her lips and pointed to the Jade Chamber in the sky not far away.
"On the Jade Chamber, there is a gift from the Shushan Sect Master to Liyue, the Profound Origin Mirror."
"That thing can detect qualifications. If it's a spiritual root, it will change into a specific color and light column height."
"If it's a special constitution, it will bloom with different light."
The Cryo Archon had heard of the Profound Origin Mirror, but only thought it was an attack-type magic weapon.
Now that she heard it, it is infinitely useful.
Just…
"Does Liyue provide Profound Origin Mirror rental services? No matter the price."
The Cryo Archon didn't have much hope, but still asked.
As expected, Signora smiled bitterly:
"Impossible, Your Majesty. The Profound Origin Mirror is Liyue's national treasure, and what's more, it was bestowed upon Liyue by the Shushan Sect Master."
"No matter how much Mora is given, they can't take it out for rent."
Although she had known the result long ago, the Cryo Archon couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Nodding slightly, thinking that there was nothing else to ask, she waved her hand to let the Debt Collector go down.
After he left, the Cryo Archon turned to look at Signora.
"Record what he just said."
"Especially the matter of the first level of the Heart-Questioning Array, even if you don't believe it, take precautions."
"In addition, since he can pass the initial screening and enter Shushan."
"Although the Heart-Questioning Array failed, he did go in after all, so he might be reused."
"Besides that, the other two Debt Collectors who stayed in Shushan, although they didn't join Shushan, they stayed behind after all."
"Also focus on them."
"Especially pay attention, don't arrange any work that shouldn't be done for him."
"Train him this year, and strive to let him join Shushan next year, even if it's the outer sect."
"As for us, let's wait for Tartaglia's response."
Upon hearing this, Signora and Arlecchino nodded heavily.
Just after a while, Signora seemed to remember something and whispered:
"Your Majesty, Shushan is jealous of evil and practices the path of subduing demons. What we have done…"
The Cryo Archon was silent for a moment, and cold light flashed in her eyes.
Raising her eyes, she stared at Signora and Arlecchino, making the two tremble in their hearts.
"The so-called Delusion Factory was all done by the Doctor and the Jester. You were all coerced and calculated by them, and you had no choice."
"Regarding this, you feel deeply ashamed, and after waking up, you have made changes and apologies."
"It's never too late to mend."
"Do you understand?"
Signora and Arlecchino looked at each other, feeling a bit dazed, but then they became secretly excited.
The Cryo Archon's meaning…
Obviously, she wants to abandon the two unlucky ones and take everything on herself.
Although, it is indeed not much different from what the Cryo Archon said.
The culprits of the Delusion Factory and the like are ultimately the Doctor and the Jester.
They are just executors.
"Your Majesty is wise, but… will Shushan believe it?"
Hearing this, the Cryo Archon didn't answer, just sipped tea and crushed the teacup in her hand.
"This is the only way, at worst…"
"You can cut down the evil with your own hands as proof!"
"Dead people don't argue."
The two looked at each other and nodded heavily.
208. The Abyss Order captures beasts at the peak of Foundation Establishment, suffering heavy losses
For the Cryo Archon, sacrificing the Doctor and the Jester in exchange for other Harbingers being able to join Shushan is a very profitable deal.
After all…
The Doctor and the Jester are different from other Harbingers.
These two people follow her words on the surface, but in fact, they have their own plans.
The Cryo Archon and them are also in a relationship of mutual use.
The Cryo Archon never trusts these two.
It was impossible before, but now it's different, they can cultivate immortality, so the importance of previous plans can be put down a bit.
But for the time being, the Cryo Archon doesn't plan to move the Doctor and the Jester.
Now that there is no result, if they can cultivate immortality, these two are naturally the best sacrifices, a vote of confidence.
