The chaos that occurred on the outlying islands soon calmed down. The people arrested seemed to be undocumented people who came from other islands... At least nothing was found amiss in the public investigation. The foreigners who originally lived on the outlying islands also did not find anything amiss.

Not criticized.

And this matter was quickly intervened by Tianling Shouxing and Sheshengxing. Under the joint investigation of the other two Shouxings, there was no evidence of anything being caught against Dingding Shouxing...

Not only were they not caught, even during the investigation, the two authorities discovered that the authorities did not abuse any undocumented people. They only imprisoned these people in accordance with the law and provided them with regular meals three times a day...

To put it bluntly, the quality of life of these people after being arrested is even more than 50% better than when they were wandering outside...

Everything was so logical and logical. At the moment when words and deeds were united, Kansei was even praised by the people of Inazuma City for his "far-sightedness".

Of course, this news still has not reached the hotel where the artists live, even though the matter has been finalized.

All the major events happening outside seemed to have nothing to do with the people in the hotel.

Either preparing works or taking a rest... The artists didn't say much after learning that they couldn't go out, and stayed in their rooms very consciously.

After all, the drinks and food are fully prepared, the scenery is well decorated, and there are game and entertainment facilities...why not?

But at this moment, Ningzhe is not the only one in his room - to be precise, his room is quite lively right now.

Ningzhe's room was originally not small, it could even be said to be very big...but now, it seemed extremely crowded.

There are actually not many people there, only Abedo and Ningzhe, but now his room is filled with various alchemy instruments, some of which are even moving on their own...

Among a bunch of instruments, Ningzhe and Albedo observed the operation of a cup-shaped instrument very carefully.

"Well, that's right. If it is dispersed in this structure, the power of the wind element can be liberated to the greatest extent."

"However, it should be noted that this device cannot be interrupted during the process of dispersing the wind element, otherwise it will be forcibly collapsed due to insufficient structural strength, and may even backfire on the source of the elemental force."

After seeing the complete operation idea of ​​the cup-shaped instrument, Albedo nodded and spoke slowly.

Judging from his expression, he seemed to be very satisfied with the performance of this thing.

"That's right... it not only strengthens the attack power and destructive power of the wind element, but also makes its adsorption power stronger. This application in combat is undoubtedly very powerful."

"And the most important thing is that this device can construct the wind element by stimulating the power of other elements. I think this is a research invention that is almost timeless."

Ningzhe first affirmed the importance and role of Abedo's instrument, and then he changed the topic: "But... Abedo, why are we here?"

Ningzhe pointed at the instrument and some damage caused by the wind element next to it, showing a helpless expression.

"If this kind of instrument is used in war, it will definitely be a very powerful aid... But we are here to participate in an art exchange meeting. What if you bring this thing here and it is seen by Inazuma officials?"

Looking at the slightly dilapidated situation around him, Ningzhe's helplessness could not be concealed.

He should have thought earlier that Abedo came to Inazuma as a painter, and it was impossible for him to bring nothing except a paintbrush... For him, any meaningless things are unacceptable, so let him

It is absolutely impossible to stay locked up in a hotel and do nothing...

In other words, if Abedo is not allowed to go out to collect materials, he will probably transform Ningzhe's room into an alchemy laboratory.

"Were they seen? So what, they don't know that I also have the identity of [Chief Alchemist of the Knights of the West Wind]."

Abedo obviously didn't care about Ningzhe's worries, or he had already thought about it.

"...Since they invited me after knowing that I was from the Knights of the West Wind, they must have thought about various things that might happen."

"What you can clearly see is that there will be warriors guarding your door, but there is no one at the door of my room."

Abedo put down a mirror, knocked it carefully, then raised his head, looked at Ningzhe, and shook his head gently.

"They didn't guard against me because Mondstadt doesn't have the strength to threaten Dao Wife... But Liyue is different. As a seaport city, Liyue poses a real threat to Dao Wife."

"and..."

Albedo stretched out a hand, spread his fingers, and golden power emerged from it, eventually converging into something similar to the Eye of God.

"The gods of Inazuma have not favored people for many years... Anyway, this sign is very strange."

After saying these words, Albedo pointed to a cup-shaped instrument in front of him. The remaining wind element was still flowing in it, as if he was constantly trying to break through the barrier of the instrument.

"..."

After hearing this, Ningzhe also understood what Abedo meant.

As a researcher, Abedo has no interest in politics or struggle. There are only two reasons that led him to Inazuma.

The first is Ningzhe. This good friend who has witnessed the past events of Snow Country with him is going to Daozhi. He just happened to receive an invitation again. Regardless of whether he can be of any use, it would be great to go and help.

The second is the scope of research. Daozuma's earth veins and elemental reactions will become very strange in specific places. This kind of change is something he cannot see in Mondstadt or Liyue. In order to solve this mystery...or

To study this mystery, he had to come here.

The abnormality of Inazuma's leyline...

After arriving here, Abedo discovered that the situation in this country had exceeded his original imagination.

If the area around Narukami Island Inazuma Castle is relatively normal, other places can simply be described as "chaos"...

Monsters and monsters with extraordinary strength can be seen everywhere. The very existence of such creatures symbolizes the abnormality of the earth's veins.

"Speaking of this... Abedo, when you went to Yaedo Hall yesterday, did you find the Fools in Inazuma Castle?"

Ningzhe leaned against the table and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he remembered something important.

"Fools?" Hearing this, Abedo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head hesitantly, and then said: "Fools... I'm not sure. There were too many pedestrians in Inazuma City, and I didn't pay attention.

.”

Then, he looked at Ningzhe, with a hint of questioning in his eyes.

"It's very simple...because it's not just Liyue, Sanfengxing and the rebels who hold the pieces on Daozhu's chessboard. The Fools are the ones who hide the deepest among them."

Ningzhe exhaled, then took out a small badge, his eyes a little complicated.

"This badge...was left by the Fool Executive who was in the cave at that time?"

The moment he saw this badge, Albedo reacted.

This badge was left behind by Dadalia, the executive officer of the Fools at that time, before he left... It’s just that Ningzhe takes this thing out now, what’s the point?”

"This badge has a special power. It can feel the breath of [Evil Eye]... and even lock on a specific location."

Ningzhe threw the badge high and let it fall to the ground. Then, it emitted three faint rays of light.

Seeing this situation, Ningzhe's eyes gradually darkened.

"Sandao... then, there are three executive officers of the Foolish People near Inazuma Castle."

Three executives...
