Chapter 433

~7 min read 1,277 words

"Isn't that the Fatui Harbinger from the Northland Bank? Why has he come here?"

"Strange, shouldn't he be tucking his tail between his legs and hiding in the Northland Bank right now? Why would he come here?"

"Damn Fatui, why haven't they rolled out of Liyue yet? I hate the Fatui the most."

When Childe walked past, some of the Liyue locals nearby noticed him immediately.

Because none of them dared to approach this strange, bizarre iron lump, Childe's direct approach to the Astral Express's cabin door was extremely eye-catching.

A group of people saw that it was the Fatui Harbinger, Childe, and their expressions immediately turned to disgust.

Why is it this bastard?

They certainly had no love for the Fatui.

A year ago, this guy released a god and nearly destroyed half of Liyue, yet he still managed to escape.

At the time, they were so angry they smashed up the Northland Bank—that damn thing.

Unexpectedly, he returned again very quickly; it was said he came on behalf of Snezhnaya to apologize for something, though they didn't know the specifics.

They only knew that this guy hadn't been thrown into prison.

Now, seeing this Childe at the door of this strange object, they muttered and cursed under their breath one by one.

Childe: ".........."

Hearing their insults, Childe gave a bitter smile, but he didn't say anything.

Instead, he arrived in front of the Astral Express's cabin door and knocked on the object before him, saying as he knocked, "Is anyone there?"

0

He really wanted to push this iron door open and go inside, but he found it wouldn't budge at all, so he could only knock first.

"Himeko, you're right. Just staying in Liyue Harbor like this is too eye-catching."

Inside the Astral Express.

Pom-Pom, who was holding a broom, sensed the movement outside and looked at Himeko with a suspicious expression: "Someone has already come over on their own so quickly."

Just a moment ago, Himeko had said that people are curious when faced with the unknown and would come to knock on the train.

"No need to pay it any mind."

Himeko shook her head: "Wait for news from March 7th and the others."

As she spoke, Himeko took out her phone, tagged March 7th in the group chat, and sent her a message.

Himeko: "How is the experience in Liyue?"

"Ding-dong!"

Not long after Himeko sent it, the phone vibrated, and March 7th replied in the group chat.

March 7th: "Himeko, Himeko! We are still looking for information on the Rex Lapis here. You absolutely wouldn't imagine it—the Rex Lapis here in Liyue is Lin Mo, Lin Mo!"

Stelle: "Yeah, according to the information we've gathered so far, Liyue is a city of contracts. Rex Lapis Morax created this place, and the currency used here was also created by Morax thousands of years ago."

Himeko: "?????"

Hearing March 7th's words, Himeko had a strange expression on her face.

Why was the information March 7th and Stelle sent so strange?

Were they talking about that Lin Mo who had guided them before?

Immediately, she watched as March 7th and Stelle popularized knowledge in the group.

While Himeko was reading the messages.

At the cabin door of the Astral Express.

Childe, who was knocking on the door, found there was no response and frowned slightly. Is there no one here?

It seems that if he wants to know what this thing is, he'll have to find the people who got off the train earlier to understand it.

Regarding this thing he had never seen before, Childe felt it might be related to the guess he had in mind.

Just as Childe was thinking this.

The Millelith had already transmitted the information about Childe's arrival to the top immediately, delivering it into Hearing Ning Guang's hands.

"The Fatui Harbinger really couldn't sit still and went straight to find the Astral Express."

In the Jade Chamber.

Hearing Ning Guang, who was playing with her phone, looked at the information Biwen had brought in, narrowed her beautiful golden eyes, and said: "Next, we must constrain the Fatui's actions. We can use extraordinary means at critical moments."

"So soon?"

Beside her, Ganyu frowned slightly.

Although she had thought that the arrival of March 7th and the others would attract the Fatui's attention, she hadn't expected it to be this fast.

How much time had even passed?

"We cannot prevent March and the others from coming into contact with that Fatui Harbinger."

Keqing said in a cold voice: "What we can do is constrain them as much as possible. I will now order the Millelith to block the Northland Bank."

If she could, Keqing would want to keep Childe from coming into contact with March 7th and the others right now.

But she couldn't do that.

Fortunately, when she had negotiated with March 7th and the others earlier, she had told them to be wary of the Fatui.

She could only wait until evening to tell March 7th and the others about the evil deeds committed by the Fatui.

Whether in Liyue or Mondstadt, the Fatui's behavior could be described as evil deeds.

"Have someone watch that person."

Hearing Ning Guang thought for a moment and said: "Follow and watch him directly; even his conversations, watch them for me."

"Ever since the Geo Archon disappeared for so long, he has rarely stepped out of the Northland Bank. Now that he has set his sights on March 7th and the others, it is best to block the news from these phones."

"Understood."

Hearing Hearing Ning Guang's words, Keqing nodded, her tone cold: "If you ask me, we should just drive the Fatui away. Close the diplomatic department. The incident a year ago where he released a god is enough to sentence him to life imprisonment."

"There is no way. The city of Liyue is destined to be unable to cut off the Fatui."

Hearing Ning Guang shook her head gently: "Rather than driving them all out, it is better to observe them openly. I have already increased the handling fees and taxes against them. Being able to make them earn money for us while also being able to monitor them openly—even if the Fatui are uncomfortable, they can only hold it in."

Hearing Hearing Ning Guang's words, Keqing fell silent and nodded gently.

"Tell me more about that phone account."

The next second, Hearing Ning Guang narrowed her golden eyes and said softly: "That so-called Credit storage, digital currency."

Ever since she learned about digital currency, Hearing Ning Guang instantly had a certain idea in her mind.

"I don't know much either. If you want to understand it in more detail, you can find March during dinner tonight to learn more. I believe March won't refuse."

While Keqing and Hearing Ning Guang were communicating.

Liyue.

At the entrance of Wanmin Restaurant.

Looking at the restaurant in front of her, March 7th took a deep breath: "Stelle, Mr. Yang, do you remember what I said before about our path of Trailblazing?"

"Oh?"

Hearing March 7th's words, Welt and Stelle turned their heads to look over.

Earlier, when they were getting off the Astral Express, March 7th had said she had already thought of this Trailblazing path.

"That is to sell Universal Fried Rice."

March 7th chuckled, rubbing her hands together: "This is a delicacy that is sweeping the universe. I think we can sell fried rice in Liyue next."

Walking all the way here, after March 7th's observations and smelling the aroma of the food, she found that none of it compared to the Great Universal Fried Rice.

"Uh."
