Chapter 188: Keqing arrives at the Stone Abyss and agrees to Halfdan's request
Soon after, Tianhe and his team successfully arrived at the outskirts of the exploration camp. Compared with the past, there seemed to be no significant changes here. However, Tianhe did not expect that this time the exploration camp was not as peaceful as usual, because a familiar figure came here, Yuheng Star Keqing of the Liyue Seven Stars, who was inspecting here.
Tianhe didn't know the purpose of Keqing's trip. She arrived at the underground mining area of the Layered Abyss in person, apparently with a mission. She wanted to know the current progress of the exploration of the Layered Abyss. At this time, Keqing was reading the documents at hand. The cat head sensitively sensed that Tianhe was nearby. She looked around and was surprised to see that Tianhe was not far away.
However, she did not come directly over, but planned to finish reading the document first. As a workaholic, she naturally could not give up halfway. She did not notice that there seemed to be a lot of people behind Tianhe. Although Keqing was from Yuheng Star, she had almost no information compared to Ningguang. She preferred to do things herself.
When she finished the work at hand, she found that there were so many people around Tianhe, so she hurried over to see what was going on. Tianhe went to check on Xianyun's research progress. It seemed that the inspiration she got from the electrical crystal had made a new breakthrough in energy efficiency. He decided not to disturb Xianyun's research.
The others went about their own business. Halfdan and the other Kanreya people didn't know where to go, so they had to follow Tianhe. Keqing also ran over at this time. The first person she noticed was not the Kanreya people, but Ye Lan. She felt a sense of crisis from this special intelligence officer under Tianquanxing.
Ye Lan had noticed Keqing a long time ago. She was quite impressed by this Yuhengxing and couldn't help but want to tease her, "Why did Lord Yuhengxing suddenly come to Layered Rock Abyss in person? Aren't you dealing with the Bishui River Basin? How did you have time to come to Layered Rock Abyss?" Ye Lan said this because she wanted to know Keqing's real purpose of coming to Layered Rock Abyss. It shouldn't be just to come and take a look.
"I didn't expect that Miss Ye Lan, you are here too. I came to Layered Abyss to see when it can be reopened and construction can begin. I heard that you have already explored the nameless ruins area?" Keqing guessed, but Ye Lan did not answer Keqing's question. She looked at Tianhe, and Tianhe understood what Ye Lan meant.
"Keqing, we have actually explored the Fluorescent Narrows. There are no traces of the Abyss Cult in that area. However, we have dealt with the black mud there. There is only one area left to explore. We still have one thing to deal with. Um, Halfdan, do you want to talk to this Yuhengxing?"
Halfdan understood what Tianhe meant. The person in front of her was the one who truly held the power in Liyue. She needed to negotiate with this Yuhengxing to see how she could join Liyue. "Hello, Lord Yuhengxing, nice to meet you. My name is Halfdan. I want to ask, can we join Liyue?" She looked straight at Keqing without dodging.
Keqing looked at Halfdan. She could tell that Halfdan and the other black snake knights beside her were different from the others in terms of clothing and pupils. Keqing thought hard, but she couldn't recognize which country the knight in front of her was from. She had to ask first.
"Where are you from in Teyvat? Why do you want to join Liyue, and what is your purpose?" Halfdan didn't think too much about this kind of question and answered directly, "We are not from any country in Teyvat, but from the extinct ancient country of Kanrea. We joined Liyue because we don't want to continue wandering, and on the other hand~"
Halfdan looked at Tianhe, as if he meant something. Keqing understood what Halfdan meant. She looked at Tianhe, who didn't express his attitude, but seemed to agree with Halfdan's answer. "Well, Keqing, that's indeed the case. I purified the curse from them, so I have to take responsibility for them. However, they need a nationality."
Tianhe looked at Dadalia not far away and lowered his voice. He didn't want to be misunderstood by Dadalia. At this time, Tianhe should be said to be the Rock King. "I don't want them to join the other six countries of Teyvat. They are from the Kanreya Palace Guard. Their strength should not be underestimated. They don't have the Eye of God, but their true strength is far beyond that of ordinary holders of the Eye of God."
"That's why I hope they can join Liyue. I made a contract with them before. I believe that if they join Liyue, they can help the Liyue Thousand Rock Army improve their martial arts." Halfdan had no objection to this. The current Liyue Thousand Rock Army could not reach their level, but after their training, there would definitely be a great improvement compared to before.
Hearing the word "contract", Keqing did not dare to neglect it. She nodded and said, "Is that so? Since it is the Emperor's will, then after the matter of the Layered Rock Abyss is dealt with, you come with me to the General Affairs Department and I will handle your identity matters." Hearing Keqing's agreement, Halfdan beside Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief.
With Keqing's help, it was a foregone conclusion that they would join Liyue, and Halfdan and the others would not do anything to harm Liyue. However, Dardalia did not know that because of her identity as a Fatui, she was implicated by Tianhe. In a sense, Halfdan and the others were unwilling to join the Fatui.
After dealing with this matter, Tianhe opened the cave heaven authority for Halfdan, and he went back to the cave heaven to rest. Although there was no battle along the way, he felt very tired. Tianhe returned to the villa, came to his room, lay on the bed and fell asleep directly. To be continued~
