"That's true, but Rodel isn't bad either." Monggot nodded. Then he realized that when Yu Jin left, not to mention Rodel, even in the entire border area, the number of people alive was probably less than the number of people in Liyue alone.
Those extra people were resurrected after Yu Jin left.
"Really? That's good." Yu Jin also nodded. It's good to have more people.
“I wonder if the king has noticed that the atmosphere in this city is a bit tense.” Monggot said lightly, thinking back to what he had seen and heard today.
"Of course. Their god is dead. How can we not be nervous?" Yu Jin said nonchalantly, leaning back in his chair and looking at the gradually brighter stars in the sky.
Then he saw Mungot's eyes fixed on the ember.
"Why are you looking at me? Am I the kind of person who's looking for trouble?" Yu Jin suddenly felt that his dignity was insulted.
He aspires to be a good man like Solar. Looking at him like that is simply a denial of him!
"Let me tell you, it's actually like this..."
Seeing that the suspicion in Monggot's eyes had not diminished, Yu Jin had no choice but to tell Monggot about his time in Liyue.
"Da da da!"
After hearing this, the suspicion in Monggot's eyes disappeared, but he started knocking on the table again.
"I want to be ruled by man..."
Monggot didn't know what he was thinking.
"The people here are different from the gods in the border area. The people are very powerful, and the gods are also different. Don't make the same assumption."
Ember looked at Mongert's thoughtful expression and reminded him.
"Haha, Wang, you worry too much. I'm just a passerby and I'm not qualified to judge the decision here."
Mongert shook his head, then stopped hammering and looked back at Yu Jin. He said to him, "But this is a good example. What does the king think of everything here?"
"How to watch? Just watch while standing." Yu Jin curled his lips. How else could he watch? Just have some fun and play around.
"This is not the answer a king should give." Mongert stood up, took out a map from his cloak and hung it on a tree nearby.
"Where did you get such a detailed map?" Yu Jin took a look and found that the details of this map obviously exceeded those circulated on the market. Even those unknown hills and forests were marked on it.
"This is not important." Monggot picked up the cursed sword on the table, pointed at Yujingtai, and asked:
"Why do you think Ying wanted to run away? What would you do if you were in Qixing's position?"
"I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I have to go!" Yu Jin looked at Mongget's burning eyes and suddenly felt that something was not going well. He wanted to run away.
"King, this is a skill you must have. As a king, you should anticipate the behavior of people or organizations from different positions and forces and take appropriate measures."
"Don't run away, King."
"Okay." Since Monggot said so, Yu Jin could only sit back obediently.
"How will the king respond?" Mongget pointed at Yujingtai again and continued.
"Uh..., catch Ying and ask her directly?"
"What if she doesn't answer?"
"I can search souls!"
"..."
"Let me ask you another question. What do you think of the Seven Stars' current grasp of the situation?" Mongget's cursed sword trembled for a moment, and then he pointed at Yujingtai and asked.
"How would I know? I'm not Qixing." Yu Jin spread his hands. How would he know? He was not a pervert who spied on other people's souls every day.
"..."
"As a king, you must learn to analyze the situation." Mongert was silent for a while again. Very good, it was consistent with his imagination of the embers.
Then he pointed to a corner of Liyue and asked without getting bored: "Then let me ask you another question. Why did the already 'dead' Rock God Zhongli ask Ying to hold a ceremony to send off the immortals? His..."
"No, there are so many questions, Mongget, do you know yourself?" Yu Jin felt that the questions Mongget asked were becoming more and more outrageous, and he felt that Mongget was making fun of him.
These questions, if you don't read minds, you can't answer them at all. Yu Jin seriously suspected that Mongert didn't know the answer either.
However, after hearing what Yu Jin said, Mongert inserted the curse sword back into the ground. A confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Of course I know."
Chapter 288: The World Situation
2023-11-12
Yu Jin looked at Mongget and clapped his hands. Then he moved a small stool over and sat down, saying, "Come on, please start your performance. I'll be the audience."
"King, don't just watch. You should also learn something." Mongget looked at Yu Jin with the look of a curious baby and reminded him.
Yu Jin nodded perfunctorily. What nonsense? Anyway, after one punch, everything would be quiet. Why would he still need to guess what others were thinking?
"You said that the traveler's brother was abducted by the Seven Gods. She passed through the Kingdom of Wind but gained nothing. So she came to a new country, the Kingdom of Rock."
"Moreover, when the Emperor's death occurred, the Traveler had just arrived in Liyue and didn't know anything yet. In this situation, the Thousand Rocks Army wanted to block the entire scene. Putting herself in the Traveler's perspective, do you think she would let herself fall into the hands of the Seven Gods' forces?"
"So she wanted to run away!" Yu Jin suddenly realized something. He was wondering why Ying wanted to run away even though she had done nothing wrong. So that's why!
"That's right. If Yan Shen is the murderer, then her situation is very dangerous." Mengget nodded.
"But Morax is not the murderer."
"The traveler doesn't know. Besides, you are already asking for trouble."
Ember shut up.
"Now let's move on to the second question." Mongert did not pause, and a gleam of light began to flow in his eyes.
It seems that even after retiring for so long, his brain has not yet rusted, and the experience of being the king of Rodel is still deeply engraved in his mind.
"In my opinion, the Seven Stars have a high level of control over the situation, but they were indeed a little panicked in the early stages."
"A typical example is a wanted traveler. If I'm guessing correctly, with her strength, she must have made a name for herself in the Wind Country."
"She has the title of Honorary Knight," Ember added. Although it was not as loud as his title of Great Adventurer, it was still quite significant.
"That's right, but later Qixing also realized that it was a bad move to put a wanted order on a person who had no motive and was very powerful. So they should have withdrawn the order shortly after it was issued."
"I estimate that it won't be long before Qixing will invite the Traveler. I won't ask her to help Qixing, but at least I will make sure she doesn't fall to the fools who crave the Heart of God."
“Does this mean that Ningguang and the others have a good grasp of the situation?” Yu Jin scratched his head. This at most proved that Ningguang had a stalker habit, first following him and then following Ying.
"It's not over yet. According to my experience outside the city, the Qianyan Army reacted very quickly to the arrival of the so-called 'immortal'. It seems that the immortal is not as mysterious as the legend here says."
"Among the Seven Stars, there should be someone who has a close relationship with the Immortal, or someone who is strong in intelligence work. Otherwise, the Seven Stars would not have a plan for the arrival of the Immortal."
"Clap, clap, clap!" Yu Jin clapped his hands. Ganyu, Ye Lan, your pants are going to be pulled out!
"Indeed. I know them." After applauding, Yu Jin nodded.
"Oh? It seems the king has good methods. Generally speaking, the whereabouts and names of these two people are hidden very deeply. It must be not easy for the king to know them."
Monggot looked at Yu Jin and nodded. It seemed that the king was quite capable. He could even recognize such a hidden guy. It must have taken him a lot of effort.
"Uh..." Yu Jin didn't know what to say for a moment. The process of him and Ganyu Yelan getting to know each other was not as difficult as Mengget thought.
Rather, Yu Jin didn't know their positions at all before he met them.
"The next part is the absolute center of the whole incident." Mongert lowered his head, thought for a while, and then speculated:
"Zhongli, also known as the Rock God, should be the one who has the best grasp of the situation. Whether it is the Seven Stars or the Fatui, they should all be under his control."
"???"
"He just hangs around like me all day, how come he is in control of the situation?" Yu Jin felt very puzzled because in his opinion, Zhongli was just hanging out with Ying these days.
First he bought stones, then he bought spices. Yu Jin even thought that he might be a little too enthusiastic about burying him.
"People can't be generalized." Monggot glanced at Yu Jin and almost rolled his eyes. Yu Jin was really strolling around, and Zhongli was strolling around for a purpose.
"Zhongli is now a guest of the Rebirth Hall. He can contact both the Seven Stars and the Fatui. This identity is very convenient."
"The Fatui will not give up on him as a channel to learn about the Seven Stars' situation, so the Executive Officer will definitely send someone to keep an eye on Zhongli."
"I don't believe that Rock God can't even think of this."
"So..." Yu Jin found it very interesting, so he started to act as a supporting actor.
"So Zhongli can completely control his own conversations and routes, so that the information the Fatui get is leaked by Zhongli himself."
"As for controlling the direction of the seven stars..." Mengget turned his head and looked at Yujingtai on the map, and then said:
"That depends on whether the Immortal and Zhongli have a good enough rapport. But in my opinion, it should be enough."
"why?"
"Because the old woman in the daytime is a hidden immortal. And she has probably guessed that Zhongli is the Rock God. With her help, there is a channel of communication between the immortal and Zhongli."
"Zhongli can completely control the decision-making of the Seven Stars by controlling the speed at which the immortals arrive at Liyue Harbor. And the Seven Stars' knowledge of the immortals was most likely released by Zhongli himself."
"The immortals are the examiners invited by Zhongli. If the seven stars pass, then Liyue will be ruled by humans. If they fail, I'm afraid the immortals will seize Liyue and temporarily maintain divine rule."
"Well, that's all I can tell for now."
"..."
Ember looked up at Mongault and immediately covered his eyes.
Quack! An intelligence of 99 is actually so terrifying! The light of wisdom is about to blind his eyes.
"What is your king doing? This is just a rough analysis, and there are still many things I don't understand." Mongget asked in confusion when he saw Yu Jin's funny look.
Although he had a very accurate grasp of human nature, politics, etc., Monggot had never tried to figure out Yu Jin's thoughts.
It’s not because Yu Jin is too violent, but because his thought process is different from that of ordinary people. Trying to figure out Yu Jin’s thoughts can easily lead to deviations in one’s own thinking.
"Ah? There are still things you don't understand?" Yu Jin was shocked. What kind of problem could be so difficult for Mungert to solve?
Now Monggot's intelligence is rising rapidly in Yujin's mind, and is almost ranked first.
As for who is the first? Of course it is Patch! Although Patch is as unreliable as him, he knows a lot.
"Of course, for example, the group called Fatui. I just can't understand how they could obtain the Heart of Rock God."
Monggot's eyes were filled with doubt. Judging from what Yu Jin had said before, the gods in this world were not as good as Marika, but they were no less powerful than the top demigods.
As for those so-called executive officers, their strength is at most at the level of heroes. It is a bit like seeking death for a hero to try to steal something from a demigod.
At that time, Mongert's clone, "Markit," could cause the heroes to bleed into a river, not to mention his original body.
