. . .

At this time, the two knights returned to the gate of Mondstadt, but they had forgotten what had just happened. They only remembered that they had just returned from patrol.

-------------------------------------

"Su Mo, why did you come so late?"

Finally, Su Mo's figure appeared. Ying, who was sitting at the bar, was also a little surprised. She thought Su Mo was not coming.

"I encountered some problems so I was delayed for a while. Fortunately I caught up, otherwise it would have been a big loss."

After dealing with those things, Su Mo came to the Angel's Gift and happened to see Yingmei.

"Come on, Su Mo, we are discussing the matter of the Night Hero and the Abyss Mage, you can come too."

Wendy brought a chair to Su Mo and asked him to sit down in front of the bar.

PS: The next chapter is really going to be late!!!

"For some reason, patrolling knights have often seen Abyss Mages around Mondstadt in recent days. I don't know what they are doing."

After the others left, the group sat at the bar of Diluk's Tavern and listened to Jean talk about what their knights had encountered in the past few days.

"Abyss Mages? Why are they here again? They were also there at Tevarin's time before. These bad guys must be thinking of something bad again."

After listening to what Captain Qin said, Paimon was also a little surprised. She always felt that the Abyss Mage was doing something bad in secret.

"Then the Knights didn't catch them?"

Ying, who was standing by, thought that instead of guessing here, it would be better to capture an abyss mage to ask about the situation.

"No, we had this idea before, but they are very cautious. If there is any disturbance, they will retreat immediately and ignore us, even if there are only a few of us."

Shaking her head, Qin had of course thought of the method Ying mentioned, but those abyss mages were too cautious, and they also possessed strange powers that allowed them to teleport themselves away directly, so it was too difficult to catch them.

"Since they are so cautious, they definitely don't want the Knights to know their intentions. In other words, if the Knights knew what they were doing, it would be difficult for them to act."

After listening to everyone's conversation silently, Su Mo gave his own analysis.

"Su Mo is right. The Abyss Mage must be doing something shameful, and they don't want us to know. But we can't guess here. We still have to find a way to capture an Abyss Mage and ask about the situation."

Diluk, who was standing at the bar, refilled Wendy's empty glass and agreed with Su Mo's analysis.

From the Sky Harp incident to the present, many of Su Mo's analyses have been very accurate, which Diluk appreciates very much.

"Oh, is it about to start again? The Abyss Mage entrapment plan, Paimon loves this kind of thing the most."

After experiencing many previous events, Paimon fell in love with this exciting action.

Whether it was stealing the Sky Harp with Ying or ambushing the girl named Kallen later, these things left a deep impression on Paimon. She liked this kind of thing too much, but if it was too dangerous, don't call her.

"So what are your plans, Senior Diluc? Well... everyone can speak freely."

Qin just happened to have the same idea, but she wanted to hear everyone's suggestions first.

"How about we ambush them? Since they often appear around Mondstadt, we can hide in a hidden place in advance to ambush them."

After taking a sip of the tea specially prepared by Diluk, Su Mo expressed his thoughts to everyone.

"Well... we can indeed try. The Knights are already preparing for this, but they are just too busy right now. And it's not that easy to capture the Abyss Mage. We need several powerful knights to do it."

Nodding, Qin actually planned to ask Ying and Su Mo for help.

Not only are they both powerful, but they are also honorary knights of the Knights Templar. They can be said to be very suitable candidates. However, they have already helped Mond so much, and Qin was embarrassed to ask them to help again.

"My idea is actually similar to Su Mo's. The easiest way now is to catch them when they are least prepared. After all, we don't know where their nests are. We can only wait for them to appear in front of us."

Diluk didn't have any better ideas, but he wanted to see if he could catch an Abyss Mage tomorrow night to ask about the situation.

"If the Knights are short of supplies, I can help. After all, I am an honorary knight of the Knights of Favonius, and this is my duty."

After learning about some of Qin's difficulties, Su Mo decided to step forward.

"Wow, the epic poem of heroes... is about to be played again? Let me... use this song to send you off..."

Wendy, who was drinking happily at the time, rarely said this.

He loves the taste of dandelion wine so much. Today, Master Diluk is treating him and he must drink as much as he can, otherwise it would be a waste.

"Wow, singing for money... No, why is the wind god Barbatos like this again? He doesn't look like a god at all..."

She originally wanted to shout out for singing, but when she thought that the other party was a real god, Paimeng quickly changed her words. She couldn't afford to offend this person.

"Then I can help, too."

Seeing that Su Mo agreed, Ying immediately said the same thing.

"Thank you very much, two honorary knights. I will mark the places where they often appear for you later."

Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time. She believed that Su Mo and Ying could crush the Abyss Mage's conspiracy.

-------------------------------------

The next night, outside Mondstadt.

That Abyss Mage should have reached Ying by now...

A man was squatting in the bushes bored. At this time, Su Mo, who had transformed into the Herrscher of Consciousness, estimated that the Abyss Mage he had just controlled should have walked to the area that Ying was responsible for.

Because two people would be too big to be conspicuous and it would be difficult for them to hide, they hid in two separate places. However, the distance between them was not too far, so both sides could provide support quickly no matter where the situation occurred.

“Don’t run…”

Just as Su Mo was boredly waiting for the sound of their fighting, Paimon's voice came.

Finally it’s my turn...

Quickly changing back to his original form, Su Mo rushed out with his weapon.

"Quack quack—"

Not long after, Su Mo saw the Abyss Mage teleporting while making strange noises, while Ying Mei was running towards it at a fast speed.

However, Su Mo was not panicked at all, because it was just fake, and it was just pretending under Su Mo's control.

Super Headbutt——

puff--

Aiming at the Fire Abyss Mage's head from a distance, Su Mo threw a stone at it, successfully "interrupting" its teleportation and knocking it unconscious.

"Su Mo, you are so amazing. If you were slower, it would have escaped."

Everyone thought the Abyss Mage would escape, but what Paimeng didn't expect was that Su Mo successfully interrupted its teleportation. This was really amazing.

"That's a good throw of the stone."

After putting away the weapon, Ying also breathed a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for Su Mo, the Abyss Mage would have really escaped tonight.

But why is Su Mo so powerful? He can analyze the problem accurately, and he also has strong strength, both civil and military. Such a person is too rare...

Looking at Su Mo in front of him, Ying fell into deep thought.

"It's okay. Let's catch it back quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if it is discovered by its companions."

Looking around cautiously, Su Mo felt that it would be better to go back quickly.

"Uh-huh."

Ying agreed with this very much.

-------------------------------------

"So why have you been appearing around Mond so frequently recently?"

In the interrogation room of the Knights, Kaeya was holding an ice blade in his hand and moving it all over the body of the Abyss Mage who was imprisoned in a chair, as if he would cut its body if he was not careful.

"..."

Faced with this situation, the Abyss Mage was speechless.

"Haha~ Still being stubborn, huh?"

As he spoke, Kaeya controlled a large amount of ice elements to gather in his hands and then placed them on the body of the Abyss Mage.

“Ahhhh—I’ll tell you.”

The Abyss Mage, who seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, decided to tell them his purpose.

"We are looking for a square that contains the power of that girl."

"That girl? Are you referring to the girl pretending to be the God of Wind?"

"Yes, the square with purple lines has her power left on it. We want to use this power to conduct research because her power is very terrifying, even more terrifying than the abyss, so we are very interested in it."

Is that so? These damn guys...

After getting the information he wanted, Kaiya walked out of the interrogation room with a serious face.

57~Peeping is not what a gentleman should do

Knights Headquarters.

"Huh? Where's Su Mo? Why can't I see him? I clearly saw him just now."

Looking at everyone in the Knights' headquarters, Qin suddenly found that Su Mo was missing, and was a little surprised for a moment.

Just now, after he and Ying captured the Abyss Mage, they stayed in the Knights' headquarters and waited with them for the result of Kaeya's interrogation of the Abyss Mage, but they didn't expect that he was missing now.

"Oh, about this, I forgot to tell Captain Qin that he seemed to have received a letter from Liyue asking him to go back early, so now he went back to sleep because he has to rush back early tomorrow morning."

Suddenly hearing Captain Qin ask this, Ying also hurriedly said this. She almost forgot about this matter.

After completing the task just now, Su Mo told her that he would go back to Liyue tomorrow because he had some things to deal with there.

Ying felt a little regretful about this. After spending the past few days together, she still liked dealing with various things with Su Mo. Not only did he have good reasoning ability, but he was also very powerful.

But what makes Ying happy is that Liyue, where Su Mo is, will be her next journey, and the two can meet again.

"I see. Hmm... Let's put it this way, Lisa, you go find someone to arrange a carriage. I think Su Mo must have encountered something urgent, so the carriage must not have been found yet, so we have to help him."

Qin nodded and understood very well, and asked Lisa to arrange a carriage for him.

Although the Knights Templar are very short of manpower now, Su Mo is still an honorary knight of the Knights Templar, but she can't ask him to stay.

"I understand. After all, the kid has helped us so much, so we have to help him with this little favor."

Although Lisa felt a little sorry that Su Mo suddenly left Mond, she still said this.

"Acting Knight Commander, the Abyss Mage has already said so."

Just then, Kaia opened the door and walked in.

"Then what's their purpose?"

Seeing that Kaeya finally got the information about the Abyss Mage, Qin immediately stood up, walked towards him and asked.

Because she has been troubled by the strange behavior of the Abyss Mages for a long time, she wants to know the truth of the matter. No matter what the Abyss Mages are doing, they must be planning something evil, or even targeting Mond directly, so Qin is a little excited at this time.

"The reason why they have been active outside the city recently is that they are actually looking for a cube with purple patterns on its surface."

Kaia answered Qin's question immediately.

"A cube with purple lines on its surface? What is that?"

I thought the Abyss Wizards were planning some shocking conspiracy, but I didn't expect that they were looking for such a thing. Paimon was very curious for a moment.

"It's like this. The Abyss Mage told me that the power of the fake Wind God remains on that cube, so their goal is to obtain that remaining power."

Kaiya told everyone present everything he knew.

"I see. I should have thought of it a long time ago. The power of that girl is extremely evil, even more terrifying than the power of the abyss. No wonder they would do this. But... does that kind of thing really exist?"

Now Lisa finally understood the Abyss Mage's intention.

At that time yesterday, Lisa, as a magician, could clearly feel the terrifying power emanating from Wendy, especially when the golden diamond pattern appeared in the sky, it seemed to be announcing that the world was heading towards inevitable decline and destruction.

But thanks to the Wind God, the little girl was just playing around and didn't really want to destroy the entire world, otherwise they would definitely not be able to stand here safely now.

So in Lisa's opinion, it was not surprising that the Abyss Mage behaved like this. What she didn't expect was that the little girl's power still remained. This was too scary.

"I think that since the Abyss Mages are already looking for the cube, it must exist. Otherwise, I can't imagine why they would be so active outside the city. Of course, this could just be a trick. But no matter what, we have to take action. The girl's power is too dangerous. We can't let them succeed."
