In Teyvat, it all begins with rescuing the grass god.

"The Abyss Cult?"

This was the first time Rhodes had ever encountered the Abyss Order.

Back in Sumeru, he had never encountered a single member of the Abyss Order.

"Ah."

"Only the Abyss Order could disguise the Order's dangerous goods as normal cargo and then deliver them to their destination."

Yan Fei pondered for a moment, but still refused to believe that her employer had any cooperation with the Abyss Order.

"Think more positively."

"Maybe they're not in a business relationship, and it's just because they have a lot of stock?"

Seeing Yanfei's troubled expression, Rod offered another idea.

"Huh? Lots of goods?"

What kind of ridiculous reason is that? Yan Fei was about to retort when she immediately realized what was going on.

Yes!

The cargo hold contains the most goods from the Mingyuan Chamber of Commerce. If one wanted to hide dangerous goods, hiding them among their belongings would be the most suitable option.

"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that he really is cooperating with the Abyss Order."

“I’ve checked the ship, and there are no other members of the Abyss Cult or any dangerous goods.”

"After we get ashore, I still have to go to Mondstadt."

"You should stay in Jingfu Port and report this to the Knights of Favonius. By the way, don't act on your own. They dared to send such a dangerous thing to Mondstadt. Once the Abyss Order, who are making contact there, finds you, they will definitely not let you go. You are not good at martial arts, and it will be a big problem if they target you."

"As for these bombs..."

"Leave it to me, the professional, to handle."

While Yanfei was still pondering various possibilities, Luo De had already arranged everything she was to do next.

Yan Fei had no objection to the previous arrangements, except for the last sentence.

"Professionals?"

Experts in handling deep-sea bombs?

Yan Fei wasn't ignorant; she was an immortal who had lived for thousands of years. But she had never heard of anyone who would call themselves a professional at solving abyss bombs.

At this point, a virtual terminal is needed again to verify identity.

"Rhodes, the strongest ranger in Sumeru, cleared out thirty-four dead zones in two months, making a huge contribution to the safety of the rainforest area."

"."

Yan Fei's lips moved slightly.

She had heard of the Dead Zone of Sumeru. Scholars from Liyue had studied it before and confirmed that the pollutants inside were very similar to the power of the Abyss, making it difficult to clean up.

Thirty-four dead zones were cleared in two months.

Judging from this amazing record...

This guy really deserves to be called a professional.

"Fine."

Unable to find anything to refute Rhodes's words, Yanfei reluctantly agreed.

After assigning tasks to the two of them upon reaching the shore.

Next.

They cleaned up the corpses of the abyssal monsters in the cargo hold, restored the unsealed goods to their original state, and then casually returned to the passenger cabin, waiting to report the discovery of the Abyssal Order to the Knights of Favonius after docking.

Chapter 155: The Guerrilla Captain Stationed at Jingfu Port

Chapter 155 The Guerrilla Captain Stationed at Jingfu Port

The discovery of the abyssal monster in the cargo hold did not cause much of a stir.

same.

Rhodes and Yanfei, who should have been complete strangers, got together and chatted about something without causing any ripples.

This includes the businessman who hired Yan Fei.

Everyone thought that she, a lawyer, had simply found a traveler she could talk to.

As for the content of their chat.

Nobody knows, and nobody cares.

"I went to subtly inquire about it yesterday, and it seems that this matter really has nothing to do with Master Mingyuan."

During the meal, Yanfei took her food and ran over to Rhodes, continuing to talk about the Abyss Mage.

Dolly's ocean liner has very good food.

Although we were sailing at sea, we had plenty of food. We had not only meat from land, but also plenty of fruits and vegetables, unlike other ocean-going ships that relied on freshly caught seafood for every meal.

The problem is that many food items require extra payment, which makes it inevitable that some people criticize the otherwise honest trip as being exploitative.

Rod has a big appetite and eats a lot of meat at every meal.

Fortunately, he is now Dolly's partner, so he can get a 10% discount on the meal cost; otherwise, the expenses would be even higher.

In contrast, Yanfei's plate was mostly filled with free tofu dishes, such as braised tofu, stewed tofu, fried tofu, and tofu soup. Apart from tofu, there was practically nothing else to be seen.

Rod shook his head at the sight of such monotonous ingredients.

Yan Fei, on the other hand, ate with great relish, showing no sign of getting tired of it.

In the past few days.

Whenever she had free time, she would come to Rhodes and talk endlessly about everything from deducing the origins of the abyssal monsters to who the contact person would be, and whether her employer had any connection with the Abyssal Order.

She looked so eager to try.

Rhodes put down his chopsticks and kindly reminded him again, "I suggest you listen to me and don't try to investigate this matter on your own. After you get ashore, report it directly to the local Knights of Favonius and let them find the contact person. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, no one will be able to save you."

"Uh"

"I got it."

Having her little scheme exposed, Yan Fei looked a bit dejected, pouting as she stuffed a large mouthful of tofu into her mouth.

She was born in a peaceful era.

Under the protection of the Geo Archon and many powerful immortals, even if Liyue is not peaceful, it is at most filled with some insignificant monsters. Troublesome things like the Abyss Order are rarely encountered on ordinary days.

Therefore, she couldn't help but feel the urge to continue digging deeper into the clues.

As a result, whenever he had such thoughts, Rod would pour cold water on them.

What’s even more infuriating is...

This guy was telling the truth.

Although Yan Fei possesses the bloodline of an immortal, granting her a long lifespan and innate affinity for elemental power, she is not particularly interested in martial arts. In her spare time, she prefers to read more books rather than hone her immortal techniques and martial arts like other immortals.

Then Rod seized on her lack of martial arts skills.

They would frequently use this incident to remind her not to delve too deeply into the matter, lest she be left without anyone to rescue her if danger arose.

This always annoyed Yan Fei.

As for who delivered these dangerous goods to the ship...

It's hard to say.

Based on the current clues.

The two discussed it for so many days, but still couldn't reach a definite conclusion.

The Abyss Order is a possibility, the Fatui are a possibility, and even Mondstadt locals who want to cause trouble are suspects.

The only thing that can be confirmed.

That means none of these people can be dealt with by Yan Fei alone.

Another day passed.

After four days at sea, the ship finally reached its destination, the Port of Thorns in Mondstadt.

Before disembarking.

Yanfei went to Rhodes, who was packing his luggage, and gave him a business card with her contact information in Liyue Harbor.

"If you ever encounter any trouble in Liyue Harbor, feel free to ask me for help. If it's a legal dispute, I can give you a 20% discount. As for other troubles, I know quite a few people who might be able to help."

These are the words I left behind.

Yanfei waved goodbye to Rhodes and left with the group of Liyue merchants.

After she left.

Rod then took a closer look at the business card.

It looks okay from the front.

It was just a normal self-introduction, but the design on it was quite beautiful, giving it the air of a top-tier lawyer.

It's just the hiring price on the back.

It was so real that Rod couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Legal interpretation costs 6,000 Mora per article, on-site consultation costs 180,000 Mora per hour, and commercial cases start at 710,000 Mora per case.

This is just the basic fee.

If the case you take on is complicated, there will be additional fees and commissions.

Rhodes was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure whether to say that the people of Liyue were truly wealthy or that the hiring fees for top-tier lawyers were outrageous.

Put this business card away.
