Genshin Impact: While strolling around Teyvat, I was driven mad by a player.

Zhongli nodded.

But just as the two were about to get up and leave...

A handsome Qianyan soldier came to the table.

Chapter 124 The Missing Thousand Rock Army

“Mr. Qiu Nian, Mr. Zhong Li, do you still remember the Lantern Festival?”

"The information you provided regarding the appearance of the Rock Drake around Liyue Harbor."

The Qianyan soldier looked at Qiu Nian and Zhong Li and asked.

"Of course I remember this."

Qiu Nian and Zhong Li exchanged a glance upon hearing this, then stood up and nodded to the Qianyan Army soldier.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Xu Ning, and I am a member of the Liyue Harbor Security Team."

“It happened so suddenly. I went to see Miss Hu Tao from Wangsheng Hall, Miss Xiang Ling from Wanmin Hall, and Young Master Xing Qiu from Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.”

"But their answers were exactly the same as during the Lantern Festival, and they didn't give any useful clues."

"Miss Walnut told me that her two guest advisors were also there at the time."

"They happened to be free of business and should be near the Three Bowls Port, so they sent me to find you."

Xu Ning looked at Qiu Nian and Zhong Li in front of him and began to explain.

"so..."

"What happened?"

Zhongli looked at Xu Ning in front of him and waved his hand, asking.

"Just ten days ago, more than a dozen rock dragons appeared on the dirt road outside Liyue Harbor. Two of them were quite large and attacked a village."

"Several houses in the village were destroyed, but fortunately there was a detachment of the Thousand Rock Army stationed there, so the damage was not too great."

"Half of that team was injured, and the other half went to chase after the fleeing rock dragon lizard."

"Because the pursuit was too hasty, and it was at night."

"They lost sight of each other after one hill."

“It was raining that day, and there was a lot of thunder. Ten days later, we asked many soldiers on guard duty and passersby.”

"We still can't be sure where they went."

"This is really weird... How did these rock dragons end up around Liyue Harbor and start attacking villages?"

Xu Ning looked at Qiu Nian and Zhong Li in front of him and began to speak.

"That is to say..."

"That half of the Thousand Rock Army that was chasing the Rock Dragon Lizard has been missing for ten days?"

Qiu Nian looked at Xu Ning in front of her and asked with some surprise.

"Yes, not a single clue..."

"We have expanded our search to the entire Liyue region."

"Even in the Jueyun Pass, many knowledgeable medicine boys led us to search, but unfortunately we still found nothing."

"Their families are going crazy with worry."

Xu Ning nodded upon hearing this, and then spoke to Qiu Nian and Zhong Li in front of him.

"Now we can only turn to you. I heard that you witnessed rock dragons appearing around Liyue Harbor during the Lantern Festival."

Do you have any leads?

Xu Ning looked at Qiu Nian and Zhong Li in front of him, hoping to get some clues out of them.

"Sigh... He's been missing for ten days, something must have happened to him."

"Go and see my two guest advisors; maybe they can find some business with me."

At this moment, Xu Ning recalled what Hu Tao had told him.

"Um..."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian rested her chin on one hand and frowned slightly.

"To be honest, there's nothing we can do about this."

"However... I can help with the investigation."

Qiu Nian put down his hand, then looked at Xu Ning in front of him and spoke.

"I understand."

"Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Qiu Nian. If you find any clues, please let us know as soon as possible."

"If you really can't find it, that's okay. Please prioritize your own safety."

Xu Ning nodded upon hearing this.

After saying that, Xu Ning turned and left.

“I suspect this matter is related to Ruoda.”

“But I did not sense any sign that Ruoda was trying to break free from the seal.”

Zhongli looked at Qiu Nian beside him and transmitted his voice.

"That's what I think too..."

"Just go and take a look and you'll find out."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian replied in the same manner.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, my old friend."

Zhongli nodded.

After saying that, Qiu Nian walked towards the outside of Liyue Harbor.

Seeing this, Zhongli rested one hand on his chin, his brows furrowing slightly, as if he were thinking about something.

"Um..."

After sighing, Zhongli sat back down in her chair.

"In the last chapter, we talked about the ancient gods from outside and the Rock King Emperor."

At this moment, after resting for a while, Tian Tiezui started talking again.

"Found you, Zhongli!"

When Paimon saw Zhongli, he said with a smile.

“You seem to be in good spirits, coming here to listen to a storyteller.”

Zhongli turned her head slightly, looking at Ying and Paimon beside her, feeling somewhat surprised.

【Listen to Myself】

[An ancient god from elsewhere, isn't this the perfect son-in-law? Hahaha (covers face)]

[Hissing sounds, finally we see the Emperor again! (Heart eyes)]

Where is your son-in-law?

Ying and Paimon accepted a commission from Old Dai of Huishan Hall from the Adventurers' Guild to find the missing worker.

Paimon was both surprised and dissatisfied that Old Dee had found the person who "knows the most about stones in the world".

They decided to invite Zhong Li to accompany them, and also to let Zhong Li compete with the person who knows the most about stones.

After telling Zhongli these things.

Zhongli then asked, "Where does this unfounded competitive mentality come from?"

But he still decided to go, with the aim of exchanging ideas and learning from that expert.

"By the way, Zhongli, where's Qiu Nian? Isn't she with you?"

"I seem to remember that you two always seem to appear together."

Paimon looked at Zhongli in front of him and asked curiously.

"Do you still remember the time when the Geo Lizards appeared around Liyue Harbor?"

"Ten days ago, the Rock Dragon Lizard reappeared and attacked a village. Some Thousand Rock Army soldiers chased after the fleeing Rock Dragon Lizard and have not returned yet."

"My old friend took the initiative to investigate the matter."

Zhongli looked at Ying and Paimon in front of him and gave a brief explanation.

Ying and Paimon exchanged a glance upon hearing this.

Is it really Qiu Nian personally who took charge?

"Are those rock dragons from the Lantern Festival?"

"That wretched rock dragon lizard is actually preventing me from meeting my son-in-law again."

"But it's so good to see the Emperor again."

Xuehua was furious when she saw this, but when she looked at Zhongli on the screen, she smiled.

Goodness, the son-in-law personally went to investigate (facepalm)

"Don't worry, Zhongli, since Qiu Nian has personally taken action."

"Those Thousand Rock Army soldiers will be fine."

Paimon looked at Zhongli in front of him and said with a smile.

"Then take me to meet Old Dai."

Zhongli nodded upon hearing this.

Meanwhile, Qiu Nian had already appeared on a riverbank near Nantianmen.
