The journey to Teyvat from the Abyss Mage

Luo Mu really hopes that he can always have mornings like this.

But no, even now, in order to recover from his injuries, Luo Mu was a little too lax in his schedule. And every day he relaxed, the fear in Luo Mu's heart would grow a little.

Luo Mu couldn't tell anyone about this fear, he could only experience it silently, because this fear was rooted in the secrets of the gods, the great tide of the abyss, and a system that was full of bad words and extremely sinister. These things wrapped up Luo Mu and the situation in the world, making him feel frightened.

But if he tells this to others... he will definitely be considered a mental patient.

Therefore, all Luo Mu can do is to constantly find ways to improve his strength, regardless of the means and the law. As long as it does not touch his principles and bottom line, he is willing to use any means to exchange for his own safety and strength. He doesn't care about checks and balances, intrigues, and scheming as long as he can jump out of the chess game.

It's not because he has no bottom line, it's just that the chess players involved with him are too terrible. When you are at a gambling table where losing means death, and those who are gambling against you are all gambling gods and card masters, how can you blame others for cheating?

His body gradually got better. This was something Luo Mu could feel firsthand. Warm and powerful forces surged through his limbs and bones, and the numbness and pain in his body gradually subsided. It took him seventeen days to go from being confined to a wheelchair to being able to walk with a cane, and now being able to walk like a normal person.

From the tenth day, when Luo Mu's strength was enough to lift the rapier Return Home, he begged Ying to teach him sword skills. Although with his current elemental control, it is basically impossible for ordinary opponents to get close to him, it is better to be prepared. If he encounters an opponent like the Beast Realm Hound that can jump through space next time, at least he will be able to fight after getting close.

Ying naturally agreed to Luo Mu's request. After spending so many days together, they became friends. Ying taught him all her swordsmanship, except for the special fighting skills with additional elemental power. She started with the basic theory of swordsmanship, and derived basic moves such as stabbing, picking, horizontal, chopping, and wiping, and finally put together the swordsmanship moves. It was easy to understand and even a swordsmanship novice like Luo Mu could quickly get started.

Today, after the morning class agreed upon by Luo Mu and Ying, he went back to his room, tidied himself up, sheathed his magic wand, picked up his walking stick, and left Jellos's house wearing the ceremonial suit that Jellos had found for him.

Luo Mu is going to visit the Knights Templar to finalize the diplomatic mission to Liyue with Qin.

Well... I'll take advantage of this to extort some money from the Knights Templar. After all... diplomatic missions always cost money.

Although this was his second visit to the Knights, Luo Mu was still shocked by the solemnity and seriousness of this place, which was different from other places in Mondstadt. He took a deep breath, informed the guarding knight of his purpose, and then waited outside the door with his cane. Luo Mu was actually prepared to not be received because he chose the busiest day of the Knights.

He just hoped that Qin would put him aside because of her busy schedule, so that he could move freely in Liyue without any constraints.

I am indeed on a diplomatic mission, but you didn't tell me what conditions you want to reach, so I will negotiate according to my own ideas. As for the conditions negotiated... naturally they will be slightly more biased towards Luo Mu personally.

But Qin did not let Luo Mu get his wish. After a while, Luo Mu saw a graceful figure swaying out from the gate of the Knights. The Rose Witch Lisa waved her hand and greeted him charmingly.

Luo Mu was slightly stunned, sighed softly, and walked towards Lisa with a bitter face. Lisa took his hand without saying anything and welcomed him into the Knights.

"Little guy, you have made a good calculation!" Lisa laughed and teased, "You don't think Qin can't see your little tricks, do you? Diplomatic relations between the two countries are of top priority. Even if Qin has no experience, don't I, your sister, remember it?"

Luo Mu smiled bitterly, and he quickly flattered: "Sister is really kind-hearted, I can't hide anything from you... Um, it seems we have arrived at the office."

Lisa chuckled, and without even knocking on the door, she rushed in with Luo Mu in her arms, startling Qin who was reading a document.

"Lisa!" Qin Yin said in a scolding tone.

Lisa waved her hand nonchalantly. With a slight wave of her hand, two chairs slid out of thin air behind Luo Mu and her, which surprised Luo.

"You and the Honor Knight will be going to Liyue in a while. Today we still have to review the content again, and introduce you to the environment of Liyue." Qin pushed a piece of paper to Luo Mu: "This is the introduction to Liyue that I compiled, take a look first."

Luo Mu took the white paper as he was told, and saw a list of Mondstadt's brief introductions to Liyue's national strength, power, powerful figures, and various major events in recent years. Among them, Luo Mu even saw the names of True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng and True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang.

Even the information about the Liyue Immortal is available. Mondstadt's intelligence network is very powerful. Luo Mu showed an expression of approval on his face.

"Some of the information here was obtained through the secret line controlled by Senior Diluk, so it cannot be guaranteed to be true." Qin added while Luo Mu was reading the information: "But the authenticity of the information about Liyue's authorities should be guaranteed."

"Well, I roughly understand it." Luo Mu put the paper back on the table: "So, Captain Qin, what is the purpose of this mission that the traveler and I want to achieve?"

"The most important thing," Qin replied in a deep voice, "is to find out Liyue's attitude towards the Abyss Cult and Winter Solstice, and do our best to win over Liyue and form an alliance with us. At least, we cannot let them have too close contact with Winter Solstice."

"Also, if possible, meet their ruler." Qin scratched her head: "Tell him that someone wants to have a drink with him."

Wendy is really good at finding someone to pass on messages. Hearing this request, Luo Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Anything else?" Luo Mu asked.

Generally speaking, these two requirements are relatively simple and highly flexible, and it is not difficult for Luomu to achieve these two points.

"That's all." Lisa took over the conversation: "Little guy, I have to remind you, don't think these two requests are simple."

"Hmm?" Luo Mu was a little confused.

"After facing the Seven Stars of Liyue, you will know that the ruler of a city that has been protected by immortals for a hundred years but dares to propose human rule in this generation is definitely not easy to deal with."

"Liyue, Tianquanxing Ningguang, I have heard of her name in Xumi. She is a possessor of the Rock God's Eye with extraordinary magical power. She is meticulous and wise. I have a feeling that even if our request is not difficult, you will hit a soft nail in her hands."

Luo Mu nodded repeatedly after hearing this and almost took out a small notebook to write it down.

"Also, be careful of someone." Lisa continued, "A pharmacist named Bai Zhu. There is a book in the library called "On the Production and Application of Various Toxins" written by him. I always feel like I know this person. His identity should be far more than just a pharmacist."

"Liyue is the city of contracts." Qin concluded, "It is the most prosperous commercial city among the seven kingdoms. However, it is precisely because of the power of contracts that the people of Liyue are better at weighing pros and cons and finding loopholes in the rules. You must think more about everything."

Luo Mu nodded silently. He did not tell Qin that he came from the prototype country of Liyue in his previous life. He knew very well what contracts and laws were.

I just don’t know what kind of person Prince Rock is in this world.
