At this moment, his other partner spoke slowly.

"My situation is not so good; it's all money-losing assets."

"Sigh, why is it that all we do here is this kind of work, while the people under the other Harbinger are doing the big jobs?"

At this moment, the debt collector couldn't help but sigh and said to his partner.

After the two debt collectors finished speaking, they couldn't help but sigh.

Well, how should I put it? Although the Fatui seem to be a pretty strong organization, right?

But it's unheard of for an organization to have more than a dozen factions.

Basically, it's an Harbinger, a faction.

The workers under his command naturally received completely different treatment.

Those with a strong work ethic will naturally see their performance skyrocket.

But similarly, they might die even faster.

To be fair, working under the Childe master is already quite a good deal.

After all, compared to the other Harbinger who are like madmen, such as that Hero who kills at the drop of a hat, and the La Signora whose mind is full of Gnosis, the Childe is really not bad.

Moreover, compared to those colleagues who went to the desert to eat sand, to the rainforest to feed mosquitoes, to the Inazuma to be struck by lightning, to the snow-capped mountains to freeze, and those who went to the Chasm and may not even come out alive now, they are already living quite comfortably.

At least you don't have to worry about losing your life one day.

Don't be Fatui fact that the Fools seem to be enjoying their villainous roles; in reality, most of them are just a bunch of pitiful wage earners.

The work is intense, the pay is low, and sometimes you have to be chased by monsters, and you can't even get food. Sometimes you have to stay in the wilderness for ten days or half a month without seeing anyone.

These grueling jobs are something most people couldn't handle.

"I heard that the Geo Archon of Liyue was suddenly assassinated and died in full view of everyone. Do you think we can get back safely?"

At this moment, the debt collector looked somewhat worried and said to his partner beside him.

"You mean?"

"I mean, this can't be related to us, right? If we really did it, and it gets found out..."

At this point, the debt collector suddenly shuddered.

"Nonsense, what nonsense are you talking about!"

At this moment, his partner hurriedly shouted, "You know who our Harbinger is! How could the Childe do such a thing?"

"Childe wouldn't... but what about the other two? They are truly insane."

Now, his partner also fell silent.

This Childe is just a simple martial artist, but the other two are truly ruthless and vicious.

If those two did that kind of thing, we wouldn't even know!

Wouldn't that lead to them being scammed and killed in the end?

"How about we talk to the Childe and leave quickly?"

The two exchanged a glance and realized that Liyue was not a place to stay for long, and that opening Rune immediately was the best course of action.

"Strange, did you hear any strange noises?"

At this moment, both debt collectors frowned, as a powerful background music emanated from outside the door.

"Thump!"

Suddenly, the door burst open, and a strange man carrying a greatsword, a stereo system, and two little guys following behind him burst in.

"W-what the hell?!"

Accompanied by a sudden gust of wind, the two debt collectors were terrified.

What kind of spectacle is this? They've never seen anything like it before.

Meanwhile, Keqing, who was standing outside, was also dumbfounded.

"No, how did this person just barge in like that?"

"W-Who are you!"

At this moment, a large group of Fatui ran out of the stronghold in great alarm.

"Listen up, you Fatui! You've been caught, you know that?! If you don't want to get hurt, come out and surrender obediently! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Mo Wang simply stood on the ground, immediately stunning the group of Fatui.

"What? What happened? What did we do?"

"No idea? What have we been doing lately?"

"Yes, is it about the time we secretly stole more than ten boxes of explosives last time?"

"It can't be that we secretly blew up a place in the suburbs last time and released a large number of monsters, can it?"

"No, that's not right. Could it be that we really did what happened to the Geo Archon?"

"No, no, please? We really don't know anything! Could it be someone from another group?"

The group of Fatui panicked.

The main point is that Mo Wang, at the time of the incident, these people themselves didn't even know what had happened.

It's truly unbelievable that they have no idea what kind of mess they've made.

"Whatever it is, let's kill this guy who barged in first!"

"You think you can just barge in all by yourself? Who do you think you are?!"

At that moment, a large group of Fatui rushed towards Mo Wang.

"Heh heh, Za Warudo! Time, stop!"

Faced with the onslaught of the Fatui, Mo Wang immediately used Time Stop.

In Setsuna, all the Fatui froze in place.

"Brush!"

With a flash of sword light, Mo Wang slowly sheathed his sword.

"W-what's going on?!"

As time began to flow, the group of Fatui turned around in bewilderment.

"You are all dead."

Mo Wang Wanghao spoke without any mercy, and then all of them fell to the ground.

"How... how is this possible?! What methods did you use?"

Seeing their companions lying on the ground, the remaining Fatui all showed expressions of shock and horror.

"This is the invincible power of Za Warudo."

"Come at me all at once, Fatui! Tremble before my invincible Shidare Power!"

As Mo Wang pressed closer, a large group of Fatui retreated.

"You, you don't come any closer!"

Faced with Mo Wang's relentless advance, the Fatui activated their Eye of Delusion devices. In Setsuna, various elemental forces, including ice, fire, and lightning, exploded in the room, shaking the entire stronghold to the brink of collapse due to the violent energy fluctuations.

"Mu Da Mu Da!"

Mo Wang laughed wildly and spread his arms wide, unleashing a burst of azure wind element and golden Geo at the same time. "You mere Eye of Delusion dares to show off your skills in front of me?"

The gale-force winds transformed into a tornado, shredding all the incoming ice spikes, while a shield formed from Geo deflected all the lightning. Meanwhile Mimi and Paimon, standing behind Mo Wang, calmly watched this scene unfold.

To be honest, this was a minor incident for the two of them.

"That's impossible!"

The debt collector's voice changed as he watched his full-force fireball being easily blocked by the rock shield.

"It's not over yet—" Mo Wang suddenly clasped his hands together, "Wind-Geo Combined Attack: Heavenly Spheres!"

A violent tornado suddenly swept up debris from the ground, lifting the Fatui into the air like rag dolls. With muffled thuds, more than twenty figures radiated outwards and embedded themselves into the surrounding walls, resembling an abstract mural.

"A monster..."

A Debt Collector struggled to pull his head out of the wall, trembling as he pressed the emergency communication device. "Quick... quickly go and fetch Childe Ancestor! That blond-haired guy has come knocking on our door!"

Chapter 353 This is how the shield dog works.

While Mo Wang was sabotaging the branch of the Fatui, the young Childe, the leader of this Fatui, was drinking tea and listening to music by the roadside with Zhongli.

This pot of fine spring tea, paired with the opera performance nearby, creates a truly leisurely and contented scene.

"Ha~ Just as Mr. Zhongli said, when faced with a big event, don't panic. Drink some tea and listen to some music, and you'll calm down immediately."

The Childe followed suit and picked up a cup of tea and drank it.

Although the Childe was a complete novice who had no idea how to appreciate tea or what was so delicious about the leaves of the tea tree.

What? You're asking why the Childe, even though he clearly didn't like the taste, insisted it was delicious and remained so calm?

Naturally, it's because when he was treating guests, the price of just one pot of tea alone was worth tens of thousands of Mora.

At this moment, his heart sank completely. Given the price, even if the tea made from these tree leaves tasted terrible, he could only grit his teeth and say it was delicious.

Some may wonder why the Fatui, with Childe vast wealth and power, would care about such a small amount of Mora?

But in reality, although Fatui a lot of money, they also spend a lot.

After all, sending a team to travel to six other countries is an extremely expensive activity in itself.

Currently, the funds for the Childe's activities in Liyue are basically coming from the Northland Bank.

Furthermore, although Tartaglia's code name is "Childe," he is actually not Childe master at all.

Based on the information available about the Childe, his family lived in Snezhnaya, and it is estimated that they belonged to the poor class before he became Fatui.

When the Childe saw that a pot of leaves costing tens of thousands of Mora was being used to make tea, he was heartbroken.

Right now, he just wants to rant about how damn prices are in Liyue. Is nobody doing anything about it?

Despite this, when facing Zhongli, the Childe still pretended to be calm and collected.

"Sigh, but to be honest, I never expected that the mighty Martial God would suffer such a calamity. The Liyue Qixing have even sealed his remains. Getting to see the Emperor's body won't be an easy task."

At this moment, the Childe sighed and poured himself another cup of tea.

Zhongli, sitting opposite the Childe, didn't say a word at this moment.

"This is a difficult situation, Mr. Zhongli. Do you have any thoughts on this? If only there were a way to get Ningguang to agree."

After the Childe finished speaking, he suddenly turned his gaze to Zhongli, who was drinking tea.

"If you're asking for a solution, there is one. That would be to hold Rite of Descension according to Liyue's tradition."

Faced with the Childe's burning gaze, Zhongli followed the script in her mind and explained her plan.

"Hey, I knew Mr. Zhongli had a way. He truly deserves to be the most knowledgeable person in all of Liyue."

Upon hearing Zhongli Zhen's solution, the Childe immediately beamed with joy.

At least the money spent on tea today was definitely Abyss Flower.

"But what exactly is this 'Rite of Descension?"

The Childe master humbly sought guidance from Zhongli.

"In Liyue, whenever Adepti passes away, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor holds a funeral specifically for the Adepti."

"Oh! So it's a funeral. As expected of Mr. Zhongli, you really know everything."

While praising Zhongli, the Childe also said with a smile, "It just so happens that Mr. Zhongli is also a guest elder of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. I'll leave the rest to you."

However, before the Childe could Zhongli speaking, Childe's words made his heart skip a beat.

"However, the Rite of Descension is different from the Rite of Descension, and the procedures are quite complicated. In addition, the one who died was the Rex Lapis. So it will probably take a lot of effort."

At this moment, Zhongli spoke calmly to the Childe.
