Inside the church, Captain Qin and Ningguang were having a friendly conversation in a separate conference room. In the large conference room, the Knights of Favonius and the Liyue secretarial group started a war of words. The specific direction had already been determined, and the rest were the miscellaneous trivial matters that needed to be discussed and communicated between the two sides.

The cement road, which costs hundreds of billions of Mora, involves all aspects of coordination, including which towns it passes through and which nobles' land needs to be requisitioned. All these matters require the Knights of Favonius to step in and make the division and mediation.

night.

The Angel's Gift Tavern was already full, and all kinds of rumors were circulating.

"Have you heard? The first phase of the project is to go directly from the Stone Gate Border to Mondstadt. A large distribution center will also be built on the Mondstadt side of the Stone Gate Border."

"That's not all. The temporary port at Eagle Beach will also be rebuilt, and a cement road will be paved directly there. The goods from Liyue, Xumi, and Inazuma will be much closer if they are transported by water."

"Yes, that way we don't have to go in a big circle. Praise the wind god, Lord Barbatos."

"I heard that in order to facilitate better cooperation between the two sides, the tax rates on many commodities will be lowered. Then the villages in the east will be able to ship their goods out and sell them."

......

There was another person in the pub who didn't fit in with the crowd. He was listening carefully to the lively conversations of people downstairs and drinking cider slowly.

"Dain, so you are here, we are here!" Little Paimon and Ying also came to Dain.

"Sit down. I thought that person would come with you."

"The bad guy said he had to go comfort his wife, so he couldn't come."

"It is indeed a good choice to tie him down with family ties. It would be a bad thing to let him wander around."

"Dain, you actually said that. Do you not even have a girlfriend?" Paimon folded her hands and began to complain.

"Uh..." Dain thought for a moment and decided it would be better to change the subject. "Did you find anything this afternoon?"

"We found out. We met Barbara. She told us that the Seven-Day Statue at Cape Oath had disappeared. The Knights of Favonius and the Church had been searching for it for a long time but couldn't find it."

"Cape of Oath? There is a passage leading to the abyss nearby. No wonder the Seven Days Statue was moved away without being discovered."

"In the early years, Liyue was collecting a large number of Ruin Guardian cores, and adventurers in Mondstadt even started a team-building activity to fight for cores. Nine out of ten Ruin Guardians in Mondstadt are empty, and the remaining one is broken. If there are any left, we can only look for them in the Wind Dragon Ruins."

"Collecting a large number of Ruins Guardian cores? Could it be that he has already obtained the eye of the first tiller?"

"Um, I haven't asked yet. How about I go ask that bad guy tomorrow?"

"Then trouble you."

Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling...the urgent phone call sounded.

"Ah! It's Barbara's call! It's so late, is there something wrong?" Paimeng saw the phone number prompt in Ying's hand.

Ying pressed the answer button. "Oh no! Honorary Knight, the Abyss Cult is attacking the Wolf Territory. Sister... Captain Qin can't spare too many people, and because of Liyue's visit, she can't leave.

Captain Kaia has already led a small group of knights over. Honorary Knight, can you help contact some more people with God's Eye to help resist? The Knights' support will arrive soon. "Barbara's rapid breathing and countless footsteps sounded in the microphone.

"I understand. I'll call some people over right away."

"Is this Liyue's phone number? What a convenient thing. The Abyss Cult actually took advantage of this time to launch a large-scale attack. What a good opportunity. Captain Jean, who is blessed with three artifacts, cannot leave Mondstadt because of Liyue's visit.

The Abyss’s plot is probably not small, and it is likely related to that old wolf. Since it is related to the Abyss Cult, I will go first and the Wolf will lead the way later. ”

Dainsleib left quickly, and Ying and Paimon also quickly went to the Adventurer's Association to look for help, and contacted everyone they knew.

Unfortunately, Fischl was stopped by his family and couldn't go out.

Diona is still working to destroy Mondwine.

Albedo is still on the snowy mountain and cannot be contacted.

Sucrose is a civilian staff member, so it's a bit difficult for her to fight against the Cult of the Abyss.

At the end, standing next to the anchor is... Bennett, who is in trouble but cannot die.

"Bennett, I'm sorry. I asked you to come out so late." Paimon said apologetically.

"Hey, Lei Ze is my good friend, of course I won't sit idly by, let's get going quickly!"

After the anchor is transferred.

The scene before him was shocking, with dead Hilichurls and abyss monsters everywhere.

"Ah! Honorary Knights, you are here! This is... Bennett!!!" Barbara, who stayed in the cathedral in the original plot, actually went to the front line of the battle.

"Hello, Barbara! I'm going to trouble you to treat me again later." Bennett rubbed his nose.

"Barbara, I found a route that leads directly to the interior. There are much fewer members of the Abyss Cult. Captain Kaeya and Eula said they are holding the line in front. We and the Knights of Honor will take a detour and go directly to the Wolf Territory to determine the situation inside." Amber, who was not far away, ran over.

"Okay! Honorary Knight, please take command. By the way, everyone take this, I'm asking a very bad guy for it." Barbara took out four palm-sized shield boxes from the small backpack on her back.

"What is this? It looks familiar." Paimon looked at the object curiously.

"An autonomous shield that can help us resist attacks."

"This is the one!!!" Bennett's eyes sparkled.

"Yes! That's it! If I didn't have this thing, my sister would definitely not agree to let me come here. I want to do something for my sister. I don't want to be that doll who knows nothing anymore."

"Barbara...just leave it to us!" Paimon thought of the previous video and patted his chest.

Ying also nodded. "Don't underestimate the enemy, move forward carefully."

Relying on Amber's reconnaissance, the group successfully entered the core area of ​​the Wolf Territory.

"That's... Lei Ze!" Paimon saw the Wolf King, who was locked to the ground by some ritual, and Lei Ze standing next to him, facing the Apostle of the Abyss.

Everyone rushed forward and prepared for battle.

"Hehehe... Is there no one in Mond? Why are there only little brats?"

The Abyss Apostle looked at Ying and a group of people coming over, and couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. The prince's sister was too troublesome, so it seemed that they had to retreat first.

"I wonder what kind of punishment you will receive for being knocked down by us little brats?" Paimon used the provocation skill.

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouths."

After a subsequent battle, the Wolf King's ritual was unleashed, and the Apostle of the Abyss distanced himself from the group of children.

“Hmph, he actually still has Liyue Lin Zixuan’s self-discipline shield. I’ll have to settle this account with him sooner or later. This tiny variable is not enough to affect the overall situation.” The Apostle of the Abyss used teleportation to leave again.

Bennett slumped on the ground, while Barbara and Amber sat like ducks, gasping for breath.

"Honorary Knight, have you always been fighting this kind of monster? I feel like I have died several times." Barbara adjusted her breathing.

"That's 29 times! If you didn't have the shield to protect you, you would have been killed 29 times. Although the Prayer Priest does not need to appear on the front line, it is easy to encounter that kind of special situation of stealing the house. Therefore, you must strengthen your dodging training after you go back." The Wolf King said lightly.

"It's the first time I've fought against such a powerful man. He feels as strong as the Grand Commander. But it seems like he didn't use his full strength." Bennett straightened his dislocated left arm.

"You... fought against the Apostle of the Abyss without suffering any fatal injuries. And you used the fire element to burn the wounds corroded by the power of the Abyss to prevent it from corroding into your body. You didn't even trigger the shield. This kind of self-mutilation behavior and this kind of combat instinct are really incredible. But... this kind of fighting method will be very dangerous if you encounter a protracted war." The Wolf King looked at Bennett with a very strange look.

"What about me?" Amber asked.

"As for you, you have received a good education from the Knights, and you have observed the flaws in the battle very carefully, so there are not many mistakes. Just continue to practice step by step.

If there is a downside, it's that you need to get a better bow and increase the speed of your enchanted rockets by at least twice. That will give full play to your strengths."

"Yeah, I'll intensify my training when I get back!"

"That's great. Everyone has received guidance from the Wolf King." Paimon also became happy.

"Thank you...everyone...for your help." Lei Ze also thanked everyone.

At this time, Eula and Kaia also came to the interior of the Wolf Territory. Seeing that everyone was fine, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Afterwards, the Knights sent people to escort Bennett and Barbara back to the city. Amber and the remaining Knights began to clean up the remaining Abyss Cult.

Paimon looked around and a question mark appeared above his head.

"Ying, didn't Dain say he was here first? Why can't I see him at all?"

"Maybe he was held up by something, let's go look outside!"

"Well, let's go!"

Chapter 172 We will meet again

"Dain, why are you here?" After wandering around the Wolf Territory, Ying and Paimon finally found Dain.

"In order to avoid trouble, I'm helping to clean up the Abyss Cult nearby. I don't really want to deal with the Knights of Favonius. How's the situation over there?" Dainsleb was checking the things carried by an Abyss Mage.

Paimon recounted the conversation he had with the Wolf King.

"I see. Then the whereabouts of the world's first tiller machine is clear." Dyne integrated the information he had obtained during this period.

“However, we in Liyue only know that the Abyss Cult is looking for the eye of the world’s first tiller, but we don’t know what it is used for?

Hey, this Abyss Mage seems to be different from the other Abyss Mage, and he has a letter on him." Paimon was very curious when he saw what Dain searched out from another Abyss Mage.

"Use the enemy's faith as fuel to bring glory to His Royal Highness the noble prince...'The Loom of Destiny', the original plan." Dainsleb interpreted the words above.

"Faith as firewood? Is that possible!!!" Paimon and Ying looked at each other.

"Using the faith of all Mondstadt people in Barbatos, the god of wind, as the source of energy. With the help of the power of the abyss, a weapon more powerful than that fake god of wind can be created. In Liyue's language, it is called: cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest."

"How could this be? If he is stronger than that fake Wind God, Captain Qin won't be able to defeat him, right?" Paimon rubbed his head.

“The original plan was to be related to the Whirlpool Demon God Osel, but because Osel has been protected by Liyue, this plan has been temporarily shelved.

Then they revised their plan based on what they saw in Mondstadt. The best puppets would be easier to transform and control than this kind of monster. The new plan was to find a puppet comparable to a god for testing.

"A puppet comparable to a god? Is there really such a thing? Do we have to dig out the bionic puppet from under the ground in Mond?" Paimon asked curiously.

"It shouldn't be that simple. There are three words written on it: 'The Fatui'. Maybe there are puppets that the Cult of the Abyss needs among the Fatui."

"The Fatui? How does this have anything to do with the Fatui? And the statue of the Unholy Reversed is so big, it's impossible to put it inside the puppet, right?"

"You should have seen Lin Zixuan conjure objects out of thin air, right?"

“Yeah, he obviously didn’t bring anything, but he was able to take out the crystal car and put it back. It seems to be called a space ring.

Ah! I see! So it was a similar method that allowed the puppet to wear the reversed statue of the foul god? "

"We have previously discovered that the 'new core' used to replace the orb in the statue's hand is the 'eye of the world's first tiller.' Combined with the current intelligence, it is clear what they are going to do.

We have a clue to the tiller now, before they get it. We have to hurry."

"Well, if I tell that bad guy the seriousness of the matter, he should help, right?"

"Him? Every blade of grass and every tree is his spy. He already knew what we did. Gods are not worth expecting. Just take this as my personal advice. Remember, always be vigilant against gods. Don't trust them too much, even Lin Zixuan who is very kind to you.

His actions are definitely not that of a loving immortal, but more like a waste who only protects a small corner of the world. Once you touch the interests of Liyue and you are of no use, he will kill you without hesitation.

But... don't overthrow or hunt down these gods, even the enemy from the past. After all, Kanreya is a lesson for us." Dainsleb warned seriously.

"Neither trust nor overthrow and hunting? I really don't understand Dain's attitude towards the Seven Gods." Paimon scratched his head.

"Time is running out, let's go to the Wind Dragon Ruins!" Dain changed the subject.

The three came to the high tower in the center of the Wind Dragon ruins and found "the world's first tilling machine."

"Is this the 'world's first tilling machine'? It seems to be no different from an ordinary ruins guard. Moreover, it feels very new?" Paimon held his chin and looked at the ruins guard in front of him.

"...Maybe it's the wind element blowing nearby that makes it look less old?"

"I didn't find anything using the elemental vision."

"It is not feasible to use elemental vision on the tiller, because the energy source that drives it has never been 'elemental', especially this 'prototype'."

"It's not powered by elemental forces. Is it that powerful?"

"The things in Kanreya are definitely very powerful. Otherwise, the person in Liyue wouldn't have collected these cores in large quantities. After all, it is completely fine to disassemble these cores and use them individually. I don't know how far Liyue has studied these cores."

A blue light appeared in Dain's hand and pressed it on the Ruins Guardian. The lid of the Ruins Guardian opened, and a round core appeared in front of the three people.

"Wow! Is this the 'eye of the world's first tilling machine'? It feels very different from the cores that were collected by Ying." Paimon looked around the core.

“If you can place the Eye in the hand of the Reversed Statue of Filth, and then choose a puppet comparable to a god, and combine it with the manipulation technique of the Abyss, you can create a weapon more powerful than a god.

The Eye grants infinite power, and the reversed statue grants infinite resurrection, which is more than enough to shake the throne of Sky Island."

"This eye is so dangerous, how should we deal with it? I think it would be better to destroy it on the spot?" Paimon saw that Dain looked a little strange.

"No, I'll keep it."

"Eh? Dyne?...Are you planning to do something weird with it?"

"You can question my position all you want, but I must ensure that its power is not used by others. Hidden places will be dug up, and gods cannot be trusted. Not only that, in order to eliminate future troubles, we must also deal with the 'Idol of the Unholy Reversed'."

"deal with?"

"That means destruction! Let's go and destroy the 'Idol of the Filthy Reversed'. If you're lucky, you might meet the Apostle of the Abyss again. With me here, there's no way he'll disappear from your sight again. I'll go ahead and see you at the entrance of the ruins."

Ying and Paimon looked at each other as they watched Dain hurried away with the 'Eye'.
