Chapter 9: Rebellion on the spot, survival in desperate situation

On the staff, the light of ice and snow condensed.

The Abyss Mage laughed wildly and happily, with a kind of joy that came from seeing through the actions of the Knights of Favonius.

The dark blue eagle-beak mask and the glowing blue eyes carried a devil-like horror and sinisterness.

A coat with wide sleeves and a flared skirt with a snowflake pattern.

With his arms and thighs exposed, he danced and gesticulated, lying in the ice element shield in a mocking half-lying posture, looking down at Jiang Yi.

It has a furry appearance, is hunched over and weak, and is vulnerable to attack without a shield.

But at this moment, he was an enemy that Jiang Yi could not defeat.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead. Jiang Yi listened to his mumbling words and showed an embarrassed expression.

"I don't understand what you are talking about!"

"..." The Abyss Mage suddenly felt bored. It turned out that everything he said just now was in vain.

In this world, there are actually idiots who don’t know the common language of Teyvat.

The Knights of Favonius, are you trying to hide information by relying on this idiot's language barrier?

However, the knowledgeable Abyss Mage would never let their conspiracy succeed.

As a low-level executor of the Abyss Cult active around the world, he engages in sabotage operations in various countries.

They are fluent in Hilichul, the Lost Ancient Language, the Common Language of Teyvat, Mondish, Liyue... and even the languages ​​of all seven countries!

Hear Jiang Yi's pronunciation.

The Abyss Mage laughed coldly, "Hehehe——!"

"Don't play dumb! Even if you speak the Liyue dialect, I know the worms in your stomach!"

Jiang Yi barely understood this sentence!

It’s almost the same as my native language before I traveled through time.

In a different world, hearing the local accent should make people happy, but why is his smile uglier than crying?

He used his hands and feet to try to escape, but how could he defeat the Abyss Mage who could fly and flash!

If you want to attack, what's the point of using a physical sword to scrape away the sha?

Jiang Yi's mind was working rapidly. He covered his mouth and coughed softly.

"Cough cough!"

Seeing that the Abyss Mage did not attack, he tidied up the grass leaves on his body, stood up, and made himself graceful.

"First of all, let me make it clear that I am not a member of the Knights! However, I can provide you with information about Mondstadt!"

"for example……"

"Do you know who is Mond's strongest fighter and the biggest threat to you?"

"Do you know where the most powerful treasure in Mondstadt is?"

These two questions frightened the Abyss Mage at once.

Jiang Yi smiled inwardly. If they could communicate, that would be easy! It was time to show human wisdom again.

Only Kelly...

I'm sorry! I'll lend you my bomb for a while. In the future, I'll compensate you with a portion of Sugar Ivan.

"Hehe, I like smart people!"

"If you can prove that your information is correct, I will let you go!"

The Abyss Mage straightened up and became interested.

Looking at this weakling who was using the simple crossbow given to the hillbillies as a weapon and who did not have the Eye of God, he felt that he had a sure win.

He listened patiently as Jiang Yi continued speaking.

"But are you going to betray Mond just like that?" The Abyss Mage suddenly became more cautious.

Hearing this, Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at the Abyss Mage's distrustful expression.

Did I surrender to the enemy too quickly, causing them to become suspicious?

It seems that I have to perform again!

"I didn't betray you! I'm a foreigner living in Mondstadt and I'm often excluded!"

"Have you seen my feet? I can't even afford shoes in Mondstadt. I make a living by picking up trash every day."

He calmly raised his foot, showed it to the hillbillies, and used his body to cover the treasure chest.

He casually dropped the crossbow arrow in his hand to show that he was harmless.

"The person I envy the most in my life is the one who has been blessed by the Eye of God, and the thing I hate the most is the dazzling sky."

"I have always admired those of you who have lofty ideals and can use elemental forces."

"I have specially collected your items as my partners in battle!"

He wanted to say that he hated the laws of nature and tried to please the people, but he changed his words quickly before he spoke, but his expression showed a hint of something.

The Abyss Mage, who was very sensitive to the word "sky", suddenly had a lot of thoughts and found this man much more pleasing to the eye.

"Poor, pathetic human, tell me your information! Let me judge its value and whether I can spare your life!"

Jiang Yi took a deep breath, the key point came.

He waved his hand mysteriously and said to the Abyss Mage, "Come closer and listen carefully. Don't let others hear it!"

Seeing how cautious he was, the Abyss Mage no longer had any doubts.

Leaning on the cool elemental shield, Jiang Yi slowly increased the strength of his hand and squeezed it hard.

The edgeless sword can be drawn out at any time.

"..."

Eye to eye!

"Forget it, I can't pinch it!"

His palm left the thick shield that was harder than bulletproof glass and colder than a freezer.

Jiang Yi gave up his plan to break the elemental shield and launch a sneak attack, and told the other party the secret honestly.

"Mond's strongest fighting force, with a signature red color..."

"Mondstadt's most powerful treasure is in the Whispering Forest..."

After Jiang Yi finished telling the location, the Abyss Mage flashed and appeared not far away.

Just now, for some reason, he felt creepy when this human approached him.

Shake your head to dispel the illusion.

The Abyss Mage flew high up with an admiring look on his face.

"In the future, if you are willing to become a Mond spy for the Abyss Cult and obtain more intelligence, I will definitely ask His Royal Highness the Prince to reward you!"

Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. This Abyss Mage didn't seem very smart! So easy to fool!

However, Your Highness.

Is it Sora among the siblings who comes to Teyvat first?

"Now, I'm going to verify your information! Don't run around!" The Abyss Mage uttered a voice in the Hilichurl language, and the Hilichurls who had been awakened long ago looked over.

Jiang Yi had an unsightly look on his face, and when he blinked, four Hillilians ran over, surrounded him, and waved their sticks threateningly.

His situation did not improve at all after the Abyss Mage left.

The crossbow arrow aimed at the head exuded a murderous intent like a needle.

Looking over there, one can vaguely see the huge Mondstadt city with its bright lights.

It was as if he was in a remote suburb, looking at a corner of the big city far away.

In the middle, there is the vast waters of Fruit Wine Lake, which is like a strait.

Not to mention whether they can be discovered or not, even if the other side discovers it, it will be too late for them to arrive.

My mood sank to the bottom and I cursed the Abyss Mage to be blown to ashes by the bomb!

Jiang Yi calculated the flash distance shown by the Abyss Mage, and decided to be cautious, so he multiplied it by ten and added the flying speed.

To get to Klee's treasure, there is time to go back and forth, one's own leg strength, and the speed of running towards Mondstadt without interruption.

Draw a horizontal line, mark the numbers, and a simple math problem will appear.

"As long as he doesn't come back halfway, we will still have time!" Jiang Yi carried the treasure chest under the gaze of the hill people.

He was betting that the Abyss Mage would not let the Hillichels kill him, and that the Hillichels would not dare to disobey the Abyss Mage's orders.

A sword in one hand, a crossbow in the other.

A gray light appeared on the body, and the power of the holy relic bloomed.

The edge of the sword flashed with light.
