Chapter 351: Innocent Colleagues
sky island,
The Ice Queen looked at the island barrier that was about to be broken, and seemed to notice something. Her expression changed slightly, and she raised her hand: "Stop."

The executive officers followed the orders, and although they were a little confused when they saw the crumbling barrier that looked like it would break if a child hit it with a hammer, they knew that what they were doing at the moment did not require a second voice in the general direction, and Her Majesty the Queen would not do anything without a purpose, so they temporarily suppressed their doubts.

The next moment, the top-ranked executive's expression changed slightly, and he obviously noticed the changes that occurred in himself after a certain moment.

The Ice Queen turned around and looked in the direction of Xumi. After two seconds of silence, the corners of her lips seemed to curl up, as if she had noticed something worth being happy about: "Retreat, return to winter."

"As you command, Your Majesty."

All the Fatui executive officers responded in unison, gathered their men, changed their formation, and left Sky Island with the Ice Queen, returning to Winter.

"Why did we withdraw so suddenly?"

[Young Master] Tartaglia scratched his hair, leaned close to Dottore, and whispered, "I was thinking about breaking that turtle shell and fighting the guy hiding on the island."

Dotore glanced at him and didn't want to pay attention to him, but he felt that if he didn't answer him, this reckless colleague would keep nagging him all the way back. So he thought about it and patiently reminded him, "We have achieved our goal on this trip, so there is no need to stay and fight Sky Island."

"Purpose? What purpose?"

Tartaglia was stunned, with confusion and doubt in his eyes: "Aren't we here to fight?"

Dotore: “…”

"Oh, no, no, I remember now." Tartaglia hammered his palm: "We are here to rebel and overthrow the law of nature!"

Dotore: “…”

It's okay. Tartaglia is a simple fool. Why bother with a fool... Dotole sighed secretly and said, "Why does Her Majesty the Queen want to collect the Hearts of the Seven Gods?"

"To fight for justice."

"So how many God's Hearts have we collected now?"

"I collected both of them. I remember them very clearly."

"…Then why don't we continue collecting?"

"Huh? Aren't we collecting God's Heart anymore? When did that happen?"

Tartaglia widened his eyes and couldn't help but look at the other executives. After seeing that they all looked calm and not surprised at all, he began to doubt whether he was still one of the executives.

If so, then why didn't I know anything about such important news; if not, then why didn't I miss out on the rebellion and attack on Sky Island?
"..."

Dotore was silent for two seconds, his eyes gradually became strange under the mask. He coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Let's talk about the purpose of our trip. It's very simple. It's to buy time for that gentleman. Her Majesty the Queen just sensed that the gentleman had succeeded and that the law of nature was about to return, so she asked us to retreat."

It can't be said that the Queen and the others thought that Tartaglia was a fool with good fortune, and that after meeting that adult again, he would easily get a few more Hearts of God, so they didn't tell him, right?
——But this is just a hypothesis, no one really has hope.

As for why he gave up the plan to collect the God's Heart... Only when the seven God's Hearts gather together can the effect that Her Majesty the Queen wants be achieved. Now that the Inazuma God's Heart has been given to Chen Tianfeng in disguise, the Xumi God's Heart is about to fall into his hands. Zhidong is not crazy enough to snatch his things.

"I see."

Tartaglia nodded, not sure if he really understood, but at least his previous doubts were forgotten.

A few seconds later, when Dottore thought that his reckless colleague had finally quieted down, Tartaglia came up again and said, "By the way, Dottore, why were you all trembling when we were retreating just now?"

Dotore: “…”

The servant Alechino glanced at the two of them and calmly distanced himself from these two colleagues whose relationship had progressed rapidly without anyone noticing.

It seemed that it was after the Liyue operation was over. Alechino recalled that in addition to the changes in the relationship between the two, Dotole's personal changes were even greater. After he returned from Liyue and was summoned by Her Majesty the Queen, he cut himself off and banned nearly 60% of the experiments. He also tried to seek transformation and no longer conduct those inhumane, dark and bloody research.

For this purpose, they specifically found her and asked her to help house a large number of homeless children.

And all of this should be related to the existence called "Chen Tianfeng"...Alechino narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly wanted to meet Him.

Perhaps from Him, we can get a solution to the crisis of the Fontaine prophecy.

The Ice Queen in the front suddenly stopped, and everyone in Zhidong didn't understand why, but they stopped too.

next moment,
Tianli, with endless majesty in his golden eyes, appeared in front of the team, with black and red blocks faintly flowing in his hands. He looked at the Ice Queen with indifferent and ruthless eyes.

The Ice Queen's lips curled up slightly, as if she had expected this scene a long time ago, and her tone was cold: "Zhidong has already served under Master Tianfeng, and the God of Wind and the God of Rock can testify to this."

"Humph."

Tianli looked at him deeply, without saying anything more, and disappeared in an instant.

[Clown] Piero breathed a sigh of relief and cast his eyes towards the Ice Queen. After a few seconds of hesitation, he said, "Your Majesty, when did we serve that lord?"

The Ice Queen looked in the direction of Sky Island, then retracted her gaze, saying calmly with a hint of smile: "Now."

Now?

Piero was startled, but soon reacted. He looked at the back of the Ice Queen, and for some reason, he had the illusion that the Queen had suddenly become five hundred years younger.

……

Xumi City, Jingshan Palace.

Nashida opened her eyes and saw the cage that had been opened long ago and the empty ancient palace. She was stunned for a long time before she landed hesitantly, her feet lightly touching the ground.

The feeling of being grounded instantly came from her toes, so real that she felt a little dazed.

She raised her head and stared at the tightly closed palace gate not far away. She pursed her lips tightly and took a careful step forward after a long time. She put her palm on the gate, took a deep breath, and slowly pushed it open.

The sunlight penetrated through the gaps and sprinkled on her body, making Nashida's eyes with the four-leaf clover mark more crystal clear.

Nashida squinted her eyes subconsciously, and only opened them completely after she adjusted to the sunlight, and saw the lively scene on the circular platform in front of Jingshan Palace.

Barbatos, the god of wind, Morax, the god of rock, Baalzebub, the god of thunder, the Great Kind Tree King, two unknown beautiful girls, a white flying creature of unknown race, and a young man with a pair of golden dragon horns on his head.

They gathered here, seemingly chatting, with relaxed smiles between their eyebrows. When the wind blew, the light cherry blossoms fell like drizzle, which was very beautiful.

Wait, cherry blossoms? Are there cherry blossoms in Xumi?

Nashida came back to her senses, reached out to catch a petal, looked at it carefully, and soon saw the extremely fine gray-white veins hidden on the light pink cherry petals.

This is? !
Nashida was startled and looked up suddenly. A figure suddenly appeared in her sight. Although he was smiling, Nashida felt a chill in her heart.

"Hey, it finally came out. How about this cherry blossom?"

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
