Chapter 145: Immortals Depart! Archon Unsealed!

After making the request, Cloud Retainer waited for a reply with a nervous heart.

Not everyone had the opportunity to get guidance from Luo Li.

In all of Liyue, only Ganyu had been taken under his tutelage.

Shenhe also looked at him, with expectation she hadn't even discovered herself.

Because for more than ten years, she had broken the mirror-like state of mind for the first time in someone, and ripples had appeared in her dead, silent heart lake.

Shenhe wanted to know where this strange emotion came from, and if he could teach her more.

In the end, Luo Li agreed.

"Alright, since it is your request."

Staring at Shenhe, who had relaxed, Luo Li hooked a faint smile and said: "Then from now on, Shenhe will follow me to practice."

He indeed had a way to reverse the cold young lady’s temperament and fate.

Perhaps the fate of all living beings in Teyvat had long been reflected in the starry river, moving along the established path of "793."

However, the unexpectedness of breaking the destined fate was not limited to the twin siblings from outside the world.

Just like Raiden Ei, who was well and good by his side right now.

Hearing this, Noelle and Eula looked at each other, feeling that there was another competitor.

With one worry less, Cloud Retainer’s tone was also lighter.

"Then thank you, Your Highness."

The two adepti, Mountain Shaper and Moon Carver, looked at each other and said from the side: "Now that Your Highness is here to preside over the overall situation, it is not good for us to stay here for long; why don't we return to the mountains and wilderness, and if Your Highness has news, just send someone to notify us."

The three adepti reached a consensus.

Before leaving, Cloud Retainer gave Shenhe a few instructions, telling her to listen to Luo Li and respect His Highness just as she respected her.

In the end, the few immortals came aggressively, but left calmly.

After all, the Archon was already gone, and even if the immortals were angry, they had nowhere to vent; with Luo Li here, they could only go back and stay honestly after a stroll.

If Zhongli were here to hear this, he would probably ask, "Are you polite?"

It was a pity that this guy didn't know where he was wandering now.

Until seeing off the few immortals, Luo Li looked at the remaining people and asked: "Speaking of which, have you seen Lumine and Paimon in the last two days?"

What were those two guys doing? They hadn't been seen for a long time.

Ganyu replied: "Two days ago, Lady Ningguang met Lumine; they met at the Jade Chamber, but I don't know what they talked about."

Luo Li fell into deep thought; now that the rift between the immortals and the the Liyue Qixing was resolved, Liyue could fully free up its hands to monitor the Fatui, and it wouldn't be so simple for Tartaglia to take advantage of the situation.

As the the Liyue Qixing gradually grasped the situation, it would be even more difficult for him to achieve his goal.

Therefore, Tartaglia would mostly choose another way.

It was just unclear what Lumine and Paimon would be sent to do again.

Guyun Stone Forest!

An ancient saying goes: its danger is shocking, with layers of rocks piled up.

Huge stone spears pierced the clouds, with majestic momentum; it was hard to imagine what kind of craftsmanship could create them.

Now, this vast and wild isolated island welcomed two strangers.

"Lumine, that guy Tartaglia didn't lie to us, did he?!"

Walking on the beach where the shallow sea constantly rippled, Paimon looked around and muttered.

According to the statement he sent someone to tell the two, to sneak into the Golden House, they had to draw away the Millelith nearby.

Since that was the case, they had to cause a big enough commotion.

Lumine was silent, and confusion also lingered in her heart.

This was her first time coming here; according to what Tartaglia said, they only needed to let the Sigil of Permission bloom here to attract the attention of the Millelith.

By then, the defense of the Golden House would definitely be weak, and invading it would naturally be easy.

"This ghost place, where is the location he wants us to reach?"

Flying to a high place to look, Paimon really couldn't find the direction.

It seemed the same everywhere; steep peaks rose one after another, connecting the entire isolated island into one piece.

Lumine heard this and looked up, taking out the map sent by Tartaglia to watch carefully.

After searching for a long time, she followed the point marked on it.

"Alas, we really have a hard life; we ran with Zhongli for so long, and it was not easy to prepare the things for the Rite of Parting, and now we have to come here to do things; why don't they send others to do it?"

Paimon complained incessantly, her small mouth babbling, and a long paragraph of words blurted out.

"And until now, we only received the Mora that Childe gave us after using it; it’s so little, really stingy!"

"Clearly he was exceptionally generous when paying for Zhongli; can't he give us hundreds of thousands of Mora?"

Ignoring the little thing’s complaints, Lumine searched carefully according to the map.

Not long after, she finally found the location...

That was a massive formation hidden by many piles of rubble.

There were three formations in total, distributed in three directions.

Spending some time clearing away the piles of rubble, Lumine looked at these formations back and forth.

Paimon muttered: "It seems we need to use Geo elements to unlock it."

Lumine examined it for a moment, excluding the little thing’s interference.

She was quite familiar with such sealing formations, mainly from the experience accumulated from Mondstadt to Liyue, which was enough.

"Help me hold this."

Throwing the map to Paimon, Lumine walked back and forth, sweeping out the dust-sealed stone pillars around, and pushing them one by one to fixed positions.

After all the stone pillars were in place, Lumine returned to the place where she started, looking at the formation that had been unlocked by filling it with Geo elements.

"Do we really have to do what he said?" At the last moment, Paimon was somewhat worried.

Lumine couldn't help but pause her movements.

Indeed, she had met Ningguang before and knew that Tartaglia was ill-intentioned, although it wasn't directed at her.

Somewhat hesitant, Lumine looked at the dozen or so Sigils of Permission in her arms and couldn't make up her mind, always feeling that she shouldn't do this.

"Lord Childe’s prediction was not wrong; this Traveler is truly powerful, even such a formation cannot stump her."

Suddenly, a few Fatui figures appeared behind the two.

Paimon looked at the few people vigilantly and questioned: "What are you here for?"

Lumine felt something was wrong; she had been restless when unlocking the formation just now, to the point that she had even considered giving up.

"Hahaha, leave the next thing to us! You can go back and meet with Lord Childe!"

A total of three Fatui members each took out more than ten Sigils of Permission, each standing in a place to prepare to activate the power of the talismans.

"We will definitely report this credit for breaking the Archon’s seal to Lord Childe; please rest assured."

After the three Fatui finished speaking, Lumine’s face changed instantly.

This was actually the Archon’s seal?!

Paimon’s small face also turned white, and she said loudly: "Stop them quickly!"

Just as Lumine, with a sunken face, was about to make a move, the Sigils of Permission had already bloomed with dazzling light, illuminating the entire Guyun Stone Forest very clearly.

"It’s broken!"

Lumine’s heart sank, knowing that she had been used because of the information asymmetry.
