"This... is indeed a long story, but the truth of the story may not be what you want to know."
Zhongli shook his head and looked at Famas, who had not spoken for a long time.
From the history he knew, the truth about the death of the Salt Demon God Heulia was inextricably linked to Famas.
"It doesn't matter, please tell me all the truth you know! I have been investigating this matter...this matter for a long time."
Wan Yan raised her hand to cover her chest, leaned forward slightly, and looked expectantly at Zhongli who was thinking.
"Well, this matter starts from the end of the Demon God War..."
Just when Zhongli was about to tell the story of the past thousands of years ago, a low-key man dressed like a fool suddenly walked out from behind the screen of the Zhutian Fang. I don’t know how long he had been eavesdropping behind the screen. The story that Zhongli was about to tell was also because of this fool.
interrupted by the arrival of.
"Mr. Zhongli!"
"Oh, I've been looking for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be here."
After experiencing the ceremony of sending immortals, the whole of Liyue was very wary of the Fools. When the travelers saw the Fools suddenly appearing, they immediately took an offensive stance.
"Fools?! Be honest!"
Paimon was also very alert and leaned forward.
"Put down your weapons and keep your distance! Otherwise... otherwise we will report to the Qianyan Army."
But this fool's face was full of innocence. He spread his hands to show that he was harmless, then turned his head and looked around Zhutianfang.
"Relax, you two, I'm not holding a weapon!"
"And on this Pearl Boat...where did the Qianyan Army come from?"
The fools who came from a distance did not shy away from their identities. After seeing Dadalia with his arms folded, they gave a military salute to the young executive with a calm expression.
"The young master is indeed here."
"My subordinate, Clement, is a counselor affiliated with the North Country Bank."
This guy named Clement is completely different from the other envoys who tremble when they see the executive. He doesn't seem to care about the identity of Dadalia's executive and just maintains basic respect.
"Are you Pantalone's contact person?"
"Why here?"
Facing the foolish subordinates, Dadalia immediately changed his tone and used a condescending tone and temperament.
He had never seen this fool named Clement in the North Country Bank in Liyue, but the visitor claimed to be a service staff of the North Country Bank, so he could only be a chess piece taking orders from Pantalone.<
/p>
"As expected of the executive officer who ranks at the bottom, you guessed it right."
Clement's attitude was not kind, but he was not indifferent either. It was just the words of praise that came out of his mouth, with a hint of ridicule.
"This is a letter from Mr. Pantalone to you. It contains the decree of Her Majesty the Queen."
Clement took out a letter stamped with Pantalone's seal from his arms and handed it to Dadalia, whose eyes were getting colder.
The young executive opened the envelope without hesitation, and after reading the text in the letter word for word in front of Zhongli, Famas and others, he suddenly clenched his fists.
This letter was written to him by his younger brother Tok, and it contained mostly childish but childlike greetings.
But the question is why the letter written by Torque to him was stamped with Pantalone’s lacquer seal?
You must know that the letters from the Fools’ executives have quite complete anti-theft measures to avoid the leakage of intelligence.
And if not necessary, Dadalia's bad colleagues would not risk offending each other by opening another executive's personal letters.
"Her Majesty the Queen's will..."
Dadalia rarely used her brain to think about the underlying meaning of Clemente's words.
Could it be that Her Majesty the Queen was dissatisfied with him for staying away from the Winter Capital for too long, so she asked Pantalone to remind him to return to Winter with the Heart of the Rock God as soon as possible?
Dada Duck glanced at Clement, who had a normal expression, and then turned to the gentle Mr. Zhongli beside him, with an extremely forced smile on his face:
"Mr. Zhongli, I still have some urgent matters to deal with... I'm afraid I can only go to Liyue's scenic spots with you next time."
Zhongli frowned, quickly glanced at Dadalia and the letter in his hand, and then nodded and made a promise.
"It's okay, Your Excellency, you can go on your own."
"I have been staying in the Hall of Rebirth for a long time. If you are in trouble someday, just come and look for me."
There was a shimmer in Dadalia's blue eyes, and looking at Zhongli's calm and composed appearance, the impatience in his heart seemed to have dissipated.
If in the past Zhongli was surrounded by the aura of the immortal family that seemed to be close to him but was actually far away from others, now he is closer to the wealthy family in the neighborhood. It seems that after three thousand years, he is still the erudite and elegant hall of death in front of him.
Guest.
"Okay, Mr. Zhongli!"
The young executive nodded and turned to look at Clement with contempt.
"You come back to Beiguo Bank with me."
But the fools in short-collared robes just shook their heads with normal expressions and refused the young master's order without hesitation.
"I have other tasks at Beiguo Bank that need to be completed, so please go ahead."
As the sun sets in the west, Pearl Palace is beautifully decorated, and the opera "Yi Yi Ya Ya" sounds, and many tourists are lost in the lantern shadow opera.
Dadalia stared at Clement for a long time, as if he wanted to remember his face in his mind, then turned around and came to the bridge at the stern of the boat, got on the awning boat and left.
"Damn you fools! Why are you still here?"
Paimon clasped his hands in front of his chest angrily and questioned Clement who was still staying there.
Dadalia left in a hurry, and even a little fool like Paimon realized that the fool in front of him must have threatened Dadalia with something, forcing him to leave early.

Although the CEO is not a good person, Clement seems to be worse?
"Uh, little fairy...you don't have to react so violently..."
"I'm just an archaeological researcher from Solstice Kingdom. I'm delivering a message for Mr. Pantalone. I'm not looking for trouble."
Clement raised his hand in embarrassment, smoothed his blond hair in embarrassment, and bowed slightly apologetically in response.
"Hmph...fools always say that."
Paimon groaned and hid behind the traveler, while Clement turned his attention to Zhongli, who was meditating beside him.
"This time, we have already reported it to the Liyue General Affairs Department. If you want to see it, I have the official permission document here."
"According to the plan, I will conduct archaeological exploration in Liyue for a period of time, and all the exploration results will be shared with the officials."
Wanyan heard Clement's words and searched for the other person's appearance in her memory with confusion.
Yin Yuan Hall has also been involved in the archaeological field in Liyue for many years, but has never heard of the Department of General Affairs issuing any permission documents for the fools.
But Wanyan did not express the questions in her heart, but patiently waited for the other party's next words.
"I heard that there is a guest at the Purse Life Hall, named Zhongli, who is knowledgeable about the past and present, and has profound knowledge."
"Beiguo Bank once paid a large sum of money to Shengshengtang and hired Mr. Zhongli to be the consultant of Foolish People."
Clement took out the attestation contract with the hall master's seal from his waist and handed it to Zhongli, who was holding his chin in thought.
"In other words, it's the work of the Rebirth Hall, right."
Zhongli signed the document with natural movements, confirming the authenticity of the seal.
Before Dadalia released the Whirlpool Demon God, the Rebirth Hall had indeed signed a guide contract with the North Country Bank, which included the provision of historical data and guide assistance to the researchers of the Fools.
It’s just that Zhongli’s main client before was Dadalia.
