Chapter 1043 Silkcock's Evaluation
……
Just when Sicock counted to the 472nd Mora, the door of Casazale Palace was pushed open with a "bang", and Alice's energetic voice instantly filled the entire hall.
"Dolly! Have you missed me lately?"
When Dolly heard the familiar voice, her eyes lit up instantly and she was beaming with joy.
You know, Alice is his big supplier, and many rare materials are obtained from her.
She immediately dropped her work, trotted over to Alice, and said enthusiastically, "Oh, isn't this my major supplier, Ms. Alice? What brings you here?"
"What kind of business do you want to do with me? Do you have something good to sell me?"
At this moment, Alice's eyes swept across the hall and noticed Silkock who was counting Mora at the table.
Then, while greeting Dolly who was approaching, Alice looked at Silkcock casually and said:
"Hello, Dolly. It's been a while. Your business is still booming. Oh, Silkcock is here too. What a coincidence."
At this moment, Sicock had just counted to the 557th Mora, and when he heard Alice greeting him, he stopped what he was doing.
She came back to her senses, her face still expressionless, and responded calmly: "Ms. Alice, hello, long time no see."
A plan suddenly came to Alice's mind.
She knew Sikirk's strength. If she could join in and kill Shao Yun, the biggest destabilizing factor in Teyvat so far, the chances of success would undoubtedly increase greatly.
Thinking of this, Alice turned to look at Dolly, who was still beside her with enthusiasm, and said, "Little Dolly, I want to discuss something with your other material supplier. Can you give us some private space?"
In order to make Dolly leave willingly and completely stop eavesdropping, Alice winked at her and added another sentence in a deliberately low voice.
"How about I discuss a big deal with you after we finish talking?"
The three words "big business" made Dolly's eyes widen instantly, the corners of her mouth almost stretched to her ears, and she rubbed her hands quickly in front of her.
"Okay, okay! Take your time chatting, I'm leaving now and will be back soon!"
Before she finished her words, she had already slipped away, leaving the space to Silk and Alice, fearing that they would miss out on a deal that would make their wallets fatter.
The hall fell completely silent.
Alice walked slowly to Silkcock, her eyes falling on the pile of Mora that she hadn't finished counting.
"Hello, Silk. How are you doing lately? Have you been getting into trouble in Teyvat?"
When Si Ke Ke heard this, he subconsciously thought that the other party was testing him, so he simply acted like the way he usually treated others, that is, with a cold and icy look of "frozen violet on the snow mountain", and recounted what he had done in recent years.
"Well, I saved someone who shouldn't have died, dealt with a runaway whale pet, cleaned up some Abyssal Turbulence in Liyue a while ago, and ran into a few old friends. That's all, nothing more."
After listening to this, Alice tapped her chin lightly with her fingertips and told him the plan in her mind.
By the way, Miss Silkcock, have you been busy lately? Any plans?" Alice asked, adhering to the principle of "trying to find out before you get anything done."
When Silkcock heard this, he lowered his eyes and thought quickly in his mind. Then he raised his head and said in a calm tone: "It's okay. I don't have any special plans. What's the matter?"
Seeing that Silkcock had plenty of time recently, Alice's anticipation grew even stronger, and she quickly said, "I'd like to ask you for a favor."
When Sicock heard that Alice wanted him to help, he felt a little strange.
I had an agreement with Alice that we should not interfere too much in Teyvat's affairs. Why is she asking me for help now?
"Help?" Silkcock's voice was filled with confusion. "But I remember, Ms. Alice, you told me not to interfere with the operation of this world."
She paused, recalling what Alice had said, and repeated it word for word:
"They also said, 'Many ecologists are moved by the hunting and escaping of animals, but they would never intervene, allowing the laws of nature to overwhelm their own joys and sorrows.' They were trying to warn me not to meddle in Teyvat's affairs."
Of course Alice remembered that this was the agreement she had made with Sicock, but the situation now was completely different from what it was then!
Teyvat is now facing a major decision between life and death, and it is no longer the time to let things develop naturally.
"The past was the past, and the present is the present..." Alice answered briefly.
"If you're willing to do me this favor, I'll owe you one. You know, favors from me, Alice, aren't easy to come by."
Silk was silent. Looking at Alice's serious expression, she knew she was not joking.
She tapped her fingers on the table, weighing something.
The favor from "A", the border manager of Teyvat and a member of the Witch Society, is of great value.
But Sicock knew clearly in his heart that Alice was not someone who made promises easily. If she could say that she owed someone a favor, the matter must be very complicated.
Thinking of this, Silk stopped tapping his fingers, looked at Alice, and asked seriously, "What do you want me to do for you?"
Alice noticed that Silkcock was interested in what she said. A gleam flashed in her eyes and she continued, "Kill one person."
"Murder?" Silkock pinched his chin curiously.
"The person who can make Ms. Alice want to kill needs help. It seems that this person is very troublesome."
She paused and asked.
"Who are you going to kill?"
Seeing this, Alice hesitated for a moment and quickly calculated in her mind.
Si Ke Ke probably wouldn't know Shao Yun, so she said frankly: "Even if I tell you, you probably don't know him either. His name is Shao Yun."
As soon as the two words "Shao Yun" came out of Alice's mouth, Si Keke's heart almost stopped beating.
She knew him! She also had some idea of his strength from her master's friend "Skfenug".
……
(In memory)
Skefnuge asked solemnly, "By the way, have you encountered any strange people or things during this period?"
Silkcock was wiping his weapon at the time. He looked up and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Skefnug shook his head, his tone uncertain:
"It's nothing. It's just that when I was using the power of the Devouring Whale to hunt, I felt a very strange threat. I can't quite put my finger on it... If I had to describe it, I'd say it's the 'origin' of the 'disaster.'"
It paused, forming its words, and then solemnly warned, "In short, be careful not to get into any conflict with the source of that power. I'm afraid only your master can compete with him."
Silk's heart skipped a beat as he thought of a certain figure. He frowned and said, "I hope it's not the person I'm thinking of."
……
When the memories ended, Sicock's emotions became extremely complicated.
No way, Alice is going to fight with this guy Shao Yun?
Do you want to die?
Not to mention Shao Yun's unfathomable strength, even Skfenug was so wary of him. Alice was afraid that it would be difficult for her to gain an advantage, and she might even get herself into trouble.
Sicock was shocked in his heart and really couldn't understand Alice's decision.
However, Si Ke Ke still looked cold and expressionless, without revealing any emotion.
"Can I ask why?" she asked, her voice devoid of emotion.
But after asking, Silkcock seemed to suddenly change his mind and pretended to be uninterested and said, "Forget it, I'm not interested. I didn't hear anything. I didn't have any intersection with you tonight!"
After saying that, Si Ke Ke stopped looking at Alice, then swept all the Mora on the table into the bag, turned around and hurried out of the Casazale Palace.
After walking out of the Casazale Palace, Sicock subconsciously looked back and confirmed that Alice did not follow him out, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
She narrowed her eyes and gave Alice a two-word evaluation in her mind.
"madman……"
In her opinion, anyone who dares to provoke someone like Shao Yun must be a madman.
After leaving this evaluation in his mind, Si Ke Ke no longer hesitated, raised his hand and created a space crack in the air.
She walked in without hesitation, and her figure instantly disappeared into the night, as if she had never appeared in the Casazale Palace.
……
At this moment, inside the Casazzale Palace.
Alice looked at the direction where Silkock disappeared and sighed softly in her heart.
As expected, it is not easy to persuade others on something that has little to do with one's own interests.
It was not surprising that someone like Silkcock, who was staying out of the matter, would react in this way.
"Forget it. This kind of important matter concerning the fate of Teyvat ultimately depends on me."
But Alice's determination to unite forces and kill Shao Yun was not shaken by Si Keke's refusal.
Dolly saw that Alice was the only one left in the hall at this time, her eyes lit up, and she immediately came over with a smile, rubbing her hands together, and asked about the big business she had just mentioned with anticipation on her face.
"Well, Ms. Alice, I hope you're not disturbing me now. Shouldn't we talk about our big deal? It's been on my mind for a while."
Alice came back to her senses, a bright smile on her face again, patted Dolly on the shoulder and said, "Oh, indeed, I almost forgot about this. Big business is like this..."
……
It doesn’t matter what the big business is, it was just an excuse to let Dolly leave.
After some discussion, Alice and Dolly reached a deal.
Alice had completely gained the support of the grass goddess Nashida in Xumi, which made her feel much more at ease.
Next, her goal is to go to Fontaine.
But would the new Water Dragon King be willing to stand on his side and fight against Shao Yun together?
Alice looked at the deep night sky outside the window, and a trace of doubt arose in her heart.
After all, Shao Yun didn't do anything bloody in Fengdan!
……
At the same time, in Fontaine Court, inside Momang Palace.
Violet: "Why do I feel like someone is talking about me behind my back? Is it the Melusines? Indeed, I haven't seen them for a long time."
……
Water Dragon Prince "Scylla": No, Lord Water Dragon King, these are our own family! Look at us!
