Chapter 291: Keqing leads the team to New Eridu

After listening to Baiwen's report, Ningguang nodded with satisfaction.

If we had the help of travelers, this trip to a foreign land would definitely be much smoother.

Followed by.

Ningguang looked at Keqing who was standing beside her. "I'll trouble you to lead the team this time. Please make sure to investigate what happened to that piece of land. Why is there a Seven-Day Statue of our Liyue Rock God? Is it the lost territory of our Liyue..."

Keqing said seriously: "I know what to do."

A lot of strange things have happened in Liyue recently.

First, the guest Zhongli from the Wangsheng Hall disappeared inexplicably...

Then the trapped Ruotu Dragon King disappeared...

Then they discovered what seemed to be Liyue’s lost territory. Although she knew it was not Liyue’s territory, Keqing still decided to go there in person to investigate the two Seven-Day God statues and whether Zhongli had been there...

Simultaneously.

The Traveler and Paimon were also invited.

With the addition of these two, this investigation will definitely go more smoothly.

A moment of silence.

Ningguang added: "This journey is full of unknowns, so let's take some people with us."

Keqing shook her head: "Only those who possess the Eye of God can use the Seven-Day Statue to teleport. The Traveler and I are enough for this trip."

After discussion.

Keqing temporarily handed the work in her hands to Ningguang's secretary Baiwen, and then prepared herself.

Wait for the arrival of the traveler tomorrow, and then set off for the unknown land.

-------------------------------------

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was already the next day.

as usual.

The streets of Liyue are still bustling with all kinds of businessmen, local people of Liyue, and foreign tourists.

It's been several months.

The Traveler and Paimon walked on the streets of Liyue again, and immediately felt a sense of ease and comfort.

Compared with the tense atmosphere in Nata.

She still prefers the streets of Liyue, which are full of life and bustling atmosphere.

Paimeng held a candied haws in one hand and a kebab in the other, and smelled a strong fragrance again: "What a nice smell, it's the smell of osmanthus cake, traveler, let's go buy some and try it."

The traveler looked at the candied haws and kebabs in Paimeng's hand and shook his head helplessly: "You should finish eating first, then we will go see Ningguang and Keqing."

They were originally in Nata during this period.

Then, they suddenly received a letter from Ningguang, saying that there was something urgent that needed their help, something about exploring unknown areas, something about searching for the missing Zhongli...

Zhongli is missing?

The travelers didn't believe it at first.

But as soon as I arrived in Liyue, I heard the voices of Liyue people talking on the street.

Some people say that Zhongli listened to books and drank tea every day and owed a lot of debts, so he went to the mountains to hunt slimes, and then was swallowed by the slimes...

Some people say that Zhongli encountered the Hillicrucians and died at their hands...

Some people said that Zhongli was kidnapped by robbers...

Some people also said that Zhongli was assassinated by the Fatui of the Kingdom of Winter. Damn Fatui...

Every statement is outrageous.

But every statement has details and there are even eyewitnesses.

Hear these discussions.

Even Paimon was speechless: "What? They don't even know how powerful Zhongli is. How could he die at the hands of slimes, hillbillies, robbers, or even the Fatui? This is simply impossible..."

On the surface, Zhongli was a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, an idle person who walked his bird and listened to books...

But in reality, he is Liyue's Rock God. Even if he has retired, his strength is not weakened. How could he disappear for no reason...

The traveler thought thoughtfully: "Although I don't know where Zhongli went, he must have a purpose for doing this."

Paimon spread his hands helplessly: "You're right, but where did he go?"

The traveler doesn't know.

Paimon didn't know even more.

The purpose of their coming to Liyue this time was to investigate the unknown area and search for the missing Zhongli.

Walking through the bustling streets of Liyue.

The Traveler and Paimon finally arrived at the gate of Yujingtai. After a brief announcement, a staff member led them in and they soon met Keqing.

Just met.

Paimeng said happily: "Keqing, we meet again."

Keqing also smiled and said, "Traveler, Paimon, welcome to Liyue Harbor."

The matter is urgent.

No time for catching up.

Keqing immediately told everyone about what had happened in Liyue recently and the plan to explore unknown areas.

After listening.

Paimon was very surprised: "What? Even the Ryota Dragon King is missing? The Traveler and I were planning to knock it down on the way."

The traveler was also thoughtful: "So many things happened during the time when Paimon and I entered Nata."

It seems.

Zhongli’s disappearance is unusual and may be related to the disappearance of the Dragon King Ruota.

The Traveler looked at Keqing: "What can I do for you?"

Keqing said seriously: "I plan to go to that unknown area myself, and I want to invite you to go with me."

The traveler immediately agreed: "Okay, when do we leave?"

Seeing that the traveler agreed so readily.

Keqing also said cheerfully: "We can set off now."

however.

next to.

Paimon was a little worried: "But, that area..."

The traveler rolled his eyes at Paimon and said, "You don't want to explore this later? Keqing invited us to go."

Keqing also said: "Yes, this matter is very urgent and can't be delayed any longer."

Paimon had no choice but to say, "Well, I hope... this exploration goes smoothly."

As a guide for travelers, Paimon is very familiar with the entire continent of Teyvat.

But she knew nothing about the newly emerged area, so she had some concerns. Last time a traveler wanted to go, she stopped him, but this time there was no way to stop him.

After the decision is made.

The group immediately headed for the teleportation anchor point, preparing to teleport to the unknown area through the Seven Days Statue.

As soon as I walked to the entrance of Yujingtai, I ran into Ningguang and Xiao.

Paimeng said happily: "Ningguang, Xiao, we meet again."

Ningguang smiled slightly: "Are you guys leaving? Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise I would not have been able to find you."

Keqing asked seriously, "Is there anything else?"

Ningguang smiled and said, "This journey is full of unknowns, and you may encounter all kinds of dangers. In order to ensure the safety of this investigation, I have specially invited Xiao Shangxian to accompany you."

Xiao stood aside without saying a word: "..."

See this.

Paimon was very happy: "Great, I have another powerful helper."

The traveler was also very happy: "Xiao, welcome to join us."

Xiao's expression was very firm: "This journey is very dangerous. I will definitely protect you and bring Mr. Zhongli back."
