Genshin Impact: Emperor

Werner stared straight at the sky lantern in his hand and rode up the wind. At this moment, he seemed to feel that there were many people on the outlying island looking up like him, and there was a sudden noise in his ears, obviously it was just

A lamp, but for some reason, entrusted so many emotions, he seemed to see the hustle and bustle of Liyue Port, smell the fragrance of Chihu fish, and hear the storytelling of the teahouse King Yanwang Dijun...

There are some things that don't need to be said, he also understands how to do it.

"May the salary be passed down from generation to generation, and the virtue never die."

Virtue... how can I still have beauty 2.4 virtue?

Ying added that Werner's psychological defense was completely defeated. He knew that they were playing the emotional card, but he couldn't turn a blind eye to it.

No matter how many years ago, this gentleman helped him who was down and down at the time, or the melancholy of being away from his hometown for many years, all turned into a lump in his heart, making Werner ashamed of what he had done.

"sorry.

He finally bowed down to apologize to Zhongli and Ying, Zhongli moved half a step away and let him face the outlying island,

"The ones you should apologize to are the people from the International Chamber of Commerce. They have the same pity as you, and they even helped you."

"Mr.

Werner's voice was full of apology, "At the beginning, Mr. helped me to make a fortune and took me to the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations. I didn't expect that I would look like this now, oh...but people are in the arena, after all, they can't help themselves.

"

He bowed his head again.

"I'm sorry guys.

Chapter 8 Standing Without a Shadow

"I often sneak to the beach at night to listen to the sound of the waves. Let's take it as the sound from my hometown, but there is always a thunderstorm in this sound.

The country has been locked for a long time, and I became a stranger stranded on an outlying island.

At times like this, I ran into those people from the chamber of commerce more than once, but I could only hide my face and leave secretly, alas, why don't I want to have a hearty chat with them, to resolve the long-term distress of leaving home..."

Werner was indulging in the pain of the past, and Paimon asked suspiciously: "Then why did you become what you are now?

"They are too strong. A group of originally helpless people united together and tried to survive, but I... dare not, I have failed everyone, give me a little promise, a little benefit, I am... willing to do it for those guys If I do anything, I will lose the face of my hometown and fail my husband's support. Since when did I become such a person..."

Werner sighed again, and waited quietly for him to sort out his emotions before asking curiously: "Who are those guys you're talking about?"

"Well, I'm willing to say, I've had enough of this inner torment."

"Go and drink with friends from the International Chamber of Commerce.

Paimon suggested, and Werner shook his head and sighed, "But I betrayed 30 of them, and I really have no face."

"You really are very timid. If you do something wrong, you should make amends!"

"Mr. Werner, I have a friend who was bullied and treated as an unwarranted 'sinner'. He always said 'this grudge, I wrote it down'. .

"A word, sir, is worth a thousand words."

Werner bowed to Zhongli, and said solemnly: "I understand, it's not too late to make up for it. It's me who made the mistake, and I will apologize to everyone in the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations."

Zhongli nodded in relief, and Paimeng asked: "So tell me quickly, what's going on?"

"It's the ashigaru, Keijiro, who are in charge of tax collection. They told the merchants that the tax rate itself was raised, and the extra part of the crystallized bone marrow that replaced the tax was hoarded until the merchants had nothing to do. Search everywhere, and then ask me to sell it back at a high price to the merchants of the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations."

"Ashigaru?"

Zhongli explained to Paimeng: "Ashigaru is Inazuma's name for infantry, they belong to the lowest class of warriors and miscellaneous soldiers, they usually do hard labor, and in wartime they become infantry, receive training in bows, arrows and guns, and then form troops. "

"It's such an insidious method, it's worthless."

Although it is somewhat biased from what I imagined, it is not much different. Ying stared at the Mond businessman who admitted his mistake, and heard him say: "Although I have been their puppet, the part given to me is actually a drop in the bucket. It’s just enough to make a living on the outlying islands.”

It's not impossible to eat for a living... If you want to take the opportunity to raise some prices and fill your own pockets, I'm afraid it's not impossible.

But he didn't do that.

Ying glanced at the tattered clothes on Werner's body, and her perception of him improved a lot.

"We still need evidence."

"Evidence... Evidence... Also, if there is no conclusive evidence, he will not admit it. Speaking of which, every time I sell the goods to him, he will go to a place after that. I have suspected it for a long time. Just right, you come Before, I just finished the line with him, why don't I take you to see, where is he going?"

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!"

Under the guidance of Werner, Zhongli, Ying and Paimon left the beach and returned to the town on the outlying island.

In front of a street stall selling ramen.

"That's Keijiro."

Werner, who swaggered and sat five meters behind Keijiro, gestured to Zhongli and Ying. From the positions of the four of them, they could clearly hear the conversation between the ashigaru and the proprietress of the stall.

"Hey, Ryoko, is business going well these days?"

"Thanks to you, everything is as usual, please come and sit down when you are free."

"Okay, okay, it just so happens that I've made a lot of money recently!"

"Yeah, you've worked really hard collecting taxes..."

That Keijiro turned and left, went to the next house to collect taxes, and asked in a condescending tone: "Is there anyone else who hasn't delivered all the goods? Let me think about it... those merchants in the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations have to beat them hard." Just do it."

"Hmph, this guy is really hateful."

Paimon stuck out his tongue at Keijiro's back, and Werner shrugged helplessly, "Most of the rice wives on outlying islands are like this. Speaking of which, I'm even more curious about how Mr. Zhongli managed to make us invisible. Even if it is the owner of the Eye of God, I have never heard of such a skill?"

"I'm curious too! Zhongli, you always hide!"

Paimeng and Ying Qiqi looked at Zhongli curiously. They wanted to hide in the dark and observe Keijiro, but Zhongli said, "It doesn't need to be so troublesome", and made a quick decision,

U!

people seem to disappear

General.

Keijiro trotted away,

!one!

When people catch up, Zhongli explains:

"It's just some tricks. In Liyue in the past, I was taught by the immortals and learned the invisible magic power of "standing upright without a shadow".

It can enter the virtual state, can be invisible, and can make all attacks invalid. "

"I see."

Ying's gaze towards Zhongli became softer, and every time she learned about a new side of Zhongli, it made her feel a lot happier. He was like a mille-feuille cake, and every taste made people feel extraordinarily fresh.

Werner nodded repeatedly, "Although I don't understand, there are many people in Liyue Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, so I can understand it.

When I was young, once when I went to Dihuazhou in Liyue, I was rescued by a fisherman wearing a bamboo hat to catch Jiangxue. At that time, I did not know what mechanism I touched, and ten ruin guards suddenly appeared, scaring me Sitting paralyzed on the ground, when I thought I was going to die, I saw the fisherman, ah, no, I couldn’t see the fisherman’s movements at all, I just felt that the ten ruin guards had been wiped out by the breeze

"Huh? Sounds like something?"

Werner accidentally raised his volume in excitement, and Keijiro looked around.

There was smoke billowing from the food stalls, the workers on the docks were working hard, and the businessman who had a shop and had just been taxed gave him a look full of resentment, then turned his head hastily.

Keijiro didn't notice any abnormality, he shook his head and disappeared on the path leaving the town.

"Hush! Shut up, don't let him find out!"

Paimon uttered angrily, and Werner scratched his head in embarrassment. Seeing that Keijiro began to quicken his pace and run towards the seaside where the double rock arched, Paimon hurriedly urged.

"Hurry up, that guy is getting farther and farther away from us, don't lose him."

I went around many roads with twists and turns, and the sound of the town was getting farther and farther away. In the dark corner of the sea at night, the sound of the waves floated up and down, soothing my ears, which made people feel a bit of peace and quiet that was completely different from the outlying islands. Werner closed his eyes involuntarily, as if he was recalling the sound of his hometown that might be brought by the waves, he felt something in his heart, and remained silent.

And that Keijiro squatted for a while at the rock wall that was extremely difficult to find by the sea, seeming to be hiding something furtively.After a while, he looked around and left cautiously.

"It seems that something is buried, maybe it is evidence of his evil, let's go and see.

Chapter 9 Club pursues

"It really is a ledger!"

Werner unearthed an account book from the stone wall where Keijiro hid, and immediately showed joy,

"Sure enough, he was buried here just to expose the matter, and he couldn't be searched, Keijiro

What a great idea.

Paimon shook his head regretfully.

"I thought that guy hid Mora here too, what a disappointment.

"So this is your purpose? Paimon!"

Ying pinched Paimon angrily

doodle face,

"Even if Mora is found, it must be returned to the merchants."

"I Hehe." Paimeng Xuefengshen slapped Hehe indecently.

Werner carefully opened the account books for review,

"Let me see what's written in it... That's right, it's this one. I remember every stroke clearly. Every stroke is his evidence."

"Now that the evidence has been found, we should return to the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations and inform President Gyurisu.

Zhong Li proposed aloud, Vernatu danced, but shook his head and refused.

"Then, then I won't see you off, I'll go back first..."

Seeing Werner hand over the account books to Zhongli, and then leave at a faster pace, Ying spread her hands helplessly, "It will take some time for him to learn to face people from the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations."

"There is no rush at this time."

"We can only do this, Werner is really an awkward person."

Paimon nodded in agreement, and said in a blink of an eye, "Don't worry about Zhongli and Ying, is it possible for him to sue the people above?

"There's no need to do that."

Ying vetoed Paimeng's guess, "Let's go, go back to the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations."

At this time, in front of the chamber of commerce.
