I won't say much about Fontaine; it's a bit better than Sumeru, but in reality, it's basically a guard unit.

As for the few better Natlan, well...

If you think about it carefully, without Pyro Archon leading the way, it would be hard to say that this is actually a unified country rather than a union of six tribes.

On the other hand, in Liyue, besides fighting monsters whenever they have free time, they also have to guard against various Treasure Hoarders and battles with the resentment of Archon that appear out of nowhere.

Every now and then, we also have to be wary of any major incidents happening on the other side of the Chasm.

Currently, the only one who can rival Liyue in skill is Snezhnaya.

Even the Fatui only dared to play sneaky tricks when they came to Liyue, so there's no need to say more about these merchants.

Moreover, in order to find the so-called assassin who killed the emperor, this group of people can be said to have entered a fully armed posture.

It would be a miracle if I could have a friendly attitude towards these people.

Mo Wang was naturally invited in for tea.

Of course, the tea couldn't possibly be any high-end tea, and there wasn't even a pork chop rice dish, which Mo Wang had to give a bad review for.

What? You're saying this is Liyue, not Inazuma?

That's alright then.

"Speak! Who are you? What are you doing in Liyue?"

At this moment, Millelith, who was sitting opposite Mo Wang, looked at Mo Wang Mo Wang with a tense face, trying to intimidate him.

"Seriously, sir? I've already written down all my information. Can't you understand it or what?"

Mo Wang responded to Millelith's questions with remarkable casualness.

I just don't understand, that's why I'm asking you who you are!

The officers of the Millelith were in a real bind.

Look at the rubbish Mo Wang wrote on it!

Everything was fine up to that point:

[Honorary Knight of the Knights of Favonius, Mondstadt]

[Senior Adventurer of the Adventurers' Guild]

Hero of Mondstadt

The Dvalin Slayer

The titles above look quite legitimate.

But what the hell is this "Hillichurl Slayer," "Mondstadt Flight Champion," "Mondstadt Chest Opening Competition Champion," "Mondstadt Top Eater," and "Mondstadt Drinking Contest Champion"?

And further down, could you explain to him why this guy has things like "[for illegally opening treasure chests in other people's homes]" and "[for slaughtering too Hillichurl, resulting in a boycott from the Hillichurl Protection Association]"? What are these things?

"Cough cough cough, I can't help it, I thought it was an unwanted treasure chest. It was marked on the map, I didn't realize it was someone's house."

Mo Wang said somewhat awkwardly.

"Besides, I can't do anything about the Hillichurl either. When I was practicing Hillichurl in Mondstadt, they went berserk after I only said a few words."

"There's nothing I can do but send them away."

"It's definitely not because I had an itchy hand."

You have to believe me!

Looking into Mo Wang's sincere eyes.

At this moment, the officers of the Millelith had dead fish eyes.

"Hey bro, I know you guys are in a hurry right now, but don't rush."

"I'm a really good person, there's nothing wrong with me, why don't you all believe me?"

Mo Wang shrugged, indicating a hint of helplessness.

"Hmph! Everyone else was running, but you were the only one who didn't! Isn't that suspicious?"

"Huh? If I didn't do it, why are you running away?"

"That makes a lot of sense, but I think you have other reasons."

The general of the Millelith frowned, sensing that things were not so simple.

"You actually figured it out?! Well, to be honest, I was chased before back in Mondstadt for some trivial matter. Because of what I did that time, I generally don't run away now."

Mo Wang sighed deeply at this moment.

What did you do?

"It's nothing. I just accidentally sent more than twenty knights to the hospital while I was being chased, and I feel really guilty about it."

Millelith General:... So I should thank you for not running away?

"What are you babbling about, you idiot!"

"I'm asking you, was it you who assassinated the Emperor!"

At this moment, the Millelith general slammed his hand on the table and glared at Mo Wang.

Upon hearing the words of the Millelith general, Mo Wang immediately showed a surprised look and said:

"Dude, you mean I killed your god? And you've captured me and are interrogating me? Are you serious?"

Upon Mo Wang this, even the Millelith general couldn't hold back his words.

Any Liyue resident would probably never imagine that their own emperor could be killed outright.

And this person who killed the emperor actually obediently followed them into the interrogation room.

Even the wildest novels in Liyue wouldn't dare to write something like this.

"Perhaps, maybe it was poisoning? It wasn't said it had to be a direct assassination..."

The general's voice grew softer and softer, and the last few words were almost squeezed out between his teeth.

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Wang looked at him with even greater astonishment, "You mean, I have a drug that can poison all Seven Archons? And after poisoning them, I stupidly ran to the scene and got caught by you?"

The other Millelith soldiers in the interrogation room couldn't help but turn their heads away, their shoulders trembling suspiciously.

"Brother, if I could really do that, are you sure you could catch me?"

"Do you have some misunderstanding about the Seven Archons ' strength?"

As Mo Wang finished speaking, even the Millelith and their group could hardly contain their laughter.

If there really was someone that strong, capable of single-handedly killing the Emperor and being captured by them, even they themselves wouldn't believe it.

(Mo Wang: Why are you looking at me? I did it willingly, okay?)

"What are you guys laughing at? Is it that funny?"

Just then, a purple-haired cat-headed girl suddenly pushed open the door and entered, and the group of soldiers immediately stopped laughing.

"Kei, Keqing."

Upon seeing Keqing enter, the soldiers all obediently shut their mouths.

"You bastard, I've already found out from the Adventurers' Guild."

"You are indeed Honorary Knight from Mondstadt, and a hero who defeated Dvalin."

Keqing had just entered, stared intently at Mo Wang before slowly speaking.

"Oh? Does that mean I can leave now?"

Mo Wang had already stood up from his chair.

"I'm so sorry, I'll be going now. The tea here is really bad."

"Wait a minute! Who told you you could leave!"

At this Keqing looked at Mo Wang's actions, and a cross appeared on her forehead.

"Huh? Is there anything else?"

Mo Wang scratched his head and said.

"Although we have verified your identity with the Adventurers' Guild, it does not mean that you are no longer a suspect."

"Furthermore, we have heard that you have assisted the Knights of Favonius in handling many dangerous missions in Mondstadt, and we wish to seek your assistance regarding the assassination attempt on the Emperor."

At this Keqing suppressed her anger and spoke to Mo Wang.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Keqing's words, Mo Wang Keqing at her with surprise, as if he hadn't expected her to say that.

"W-what's wrong?"

Keqing frowned, not understanding why Mo Wang was looking at her with that kind of gaze.

"It's nothing. I thought you were going to directly say that I was a suspect, so you started threatening me and demanding my help."

"Or they might just treat me as the murderer and convict me outright."

At this moment, Mo Wang spoke honestly.

He originally thought the other party would speak like a stupid villain in a novel, and then he would start criticizing.

As a result, the other party immediately started asking for favors.

"That would never happen!"

"No matter what, we in Liyue still have to be reasonable, okay!"

"You idiot, have you been reading too many low-IQ novels?"

Keqing couldn't hold back anymore.

If there's absolutely no evidence, and we just do what Mo Wang said and go straight for it, then it becomes a purely diplomatic issue.

Even with Liyue's vast wealth and influence, they couldn't withstand this kind of exploitation.

Especially now that the Emperor has died, it means that Liyue is currently the only country without the Seven Archons.

In some ways, this is just as bad as losing one's own nuclear weapons.

Although Mondstadt's Wind God hasn't been around for many years, he's still been around in the public eye.

No matter how you look at it now, Liyue can't be as assertive as it used to be.

"Although I don't know why you came to Liyue, I suppose a great adventurer who is highly regarded by the Adventurers' Guild wouldn't refuse to help us with this favor."

At this Keqing looked at Mo Wang and slowly spoke.

"No problem, that's easy to do."

Mo Wang's expression changed upon hearing this.

Isn't this obviously a task being issued?

"But let me make this clear first, my price is not low."

"If you want me to investigate this matter, it would have to be at least this amount!"

At this moment, Mo Wang directly made a nine.

Keqing frowned and then immediately grasped Mo Wang's hand.

"Make a deal!"

Keqing didn't even hesitate for a moment when faced with Mo Wang's outrageous Mo Wang.

Although Mo Wang's quoted price was at least double that of the normal Adventurers' Guild.

But what does that mean to the wealthy and powerful Liyue?

In a time when everyone in Liyue is eager to tear the murderer to pieces, this small amount of money is nothing to Liyue.

Don't ask, the answer is that Liyue is rich.

Despite the fact that the area around Liyue looks like an undeveloped countryside, Liyue is actually known for its wealth and power.

Not to mention that Liyue is one of the top commercial cities in the entire Teyvat.

Tell me, are you afraid of Mora hegemony, which is even more terrifying than the United States dollar hegemony?
