People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

Therefore, this company determined to become heroes is no longer the defeated remnant that was in panic due to the lack of supplies.

Liyue still provided them with sufficient supplies and their contact had never been interrupted.

Think of this.

Rhodes touched the communicator Ningguang gave him.

A mechanical creation that uses the mechanical techniques of immortals.

It has strong anti-interference capabilities and a wide communication range. According to Ningguang, even if Rhodes is at the entrance of the Layered Rock Abyss, he can still pass the message to Ye Lan deep in the underground mining area.

Rhodes turned his gaze to Tartaglia and immediately answered the communicator without hesitation.

After a brief silence.

Under Tartaglia's puzzled gaze, a voice that was unclear whether it was male or female came from the communicator.

"Password."

Hear the words.

Rhode still didn't shy away from Tartaglia's intentions and said, "Central Plains mixed vegetables, delicious and inexpensive."

"."

There was silence on the other end of the communicator for a moment before another voice came out: "I'm Mu Ning, the General Affairs Department's Specialist. Which department are you from? Is there anything I can help you with?"

General Affairs Department Commissioner Mu Ning.?

Rhodes continued calmly, "I am Rhodes, the Sumeru Special Envoy. I am currently investigating the underground mining area of ​​the Layered Rock Abyss with the Envoy of Winter. The Envoy of Winter wants to know the exact location of the Ninth Company of the Fatui."

Hearing the name of the 9th Company.

Tartaglia's eyes lit up, and she stared intently at the communicator in Rhodes' hand.

Compared to this investigation or that research.

What he cared more about was the 9th Company, with whom he was a fellow soldier and perhaps even a former colleague.

And next.

He heard the communicator reporting a detailed address.

"East 11.42, South 37.56."

This was Liyue's map marking method, which was somewhat similar to the longitude and latitude positioning used by Rhodes in his previous life. Specifically, a center point was first defined on the map of the Chasm, and then the direction was marked using the horizontal and vertical distances from the center point in the east, west, south, and north.

With this specific location information.

Tartaglia took out his own map, compared it carefully, left a sentence "I will go to meet up with the 9th Company first", and disappeared from Rhodes' sight at the fastest speed.

After he left.

The entire supply point suddenly fell into deathly silence. Under the dim light of the lumen stone, Rhodes kept staring at the place where Tartaglia left.

Only after he confirmed that Tartaglia had gone far away and could not possibly come back did he speak into the communicator that had not yet been hung up, "The mountains are heavy and the ridges are immovable. I am Rhodes, the special envoy of the Grass God of Xumi."

This time.

The person on the other end of the communicator finally stopped giving that fake name, and the answering voice was replaced by a cold female voice: "I'm Ye Lan, how can I help you?"

The same words, but the meaning implied is completely different from before.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 223 Apostle of the Abyss

"Where's the young master?"

The lady who followed the expedition team to the supply point looked around.

The light was indeed dim.

But one thing that is certain is that the young master who was supposed to be here is missing.

"He went to look for the Ninth Company."

Rhodes spread his hands.

"The Ninth Company?"

The lady frowned and whispered something.

The voice was so soft that even someone with Rhodes' hearing ability couldn't hear clearly what she just said.

But judging from her expression, she was probably cursing.

Think about it too.

The ladies and gentlemen took orders.

It was obvious that they wanted to win Rhodes over to the Winter Solstice camp. Even if they couldn't win him over, they would try their best not to make the relationship rigid.

In order to achieve this goal.

She even sacrificed her status as a senior sister of five hundred years.

So when you see the young man ignoring his mission and just doing his own thing, how can the lady not be angry?

Of course, Tartaglia didn't really ignore the mission issued by the Ice Queen.

In fact.

Tartaglia and the Lady can be regarded as the most loyal executives among the Fatui, and there is no way they would do anything to ignore the Queen's mission.

Then he will choose to leave the team alone at this point in time.

In fact, it was because he found that it was not easy to persuade Rhodes to join the Winter Camp.

Based on what Rhodes knew about Tartaglia.

This person has a simple mind.

Not the kind of good that is simple, but the kind of simple that is stubborn.

if you can.

He would definitely not talk like he did before, but would use force to tie Rhodes to Winter Solstice.

But after that competition, he confirmed that he was still no match for Rhodes, and the lady was no match for him either, so he decisively gave up all his plans and defined this mission as a failure.

Tartaglia is not a person who can't stand losing.

If the mission fails, it fails.

Until he could think of a way to bring Rhodes back to winter, he would not think of persuading Rhodes again.

Instead of wasting time here, we should hurry up and bring the 9th Company back to complete the second mission of this mine trip.

Rhodes asked Ye Lan for help, including this matter.

Specifically, Ye Lan destroyed some of the traces left by the 9th Company and forged some traces, leading Tartaglia to the place where the 9th Company was in danger before, and trying to prevent Tartaglia from coming back so soon.

Besides.

Rhodes marked the location of the Frost Nail under the Layered Rock Abyss for Ye Lan and also told her the solution.

Want to solve the pollution problem in underground mining areas.

The first thing to do is to deal with the Frost Nail.

if not.

As long as it is bound, the power of the abyss can never be contained, just like the roads Rhodes and his companions had walked before.

You should know that the 9th Company had also been here before.

According to their mission of "Eliminate the Darkness", there shouldn't be any Abyss Power remaining in these places, at least not such a large amount of Abyss Power remaining.

But the fact is that the power of the abyss here is still very strong.

If Rhodes had not been the pioneer who cleared the road before the supply point in advance, the ordinary scholars in the scientific expedition team would have to spend more time and energy to get here.

However, the underground mining map drawn by Liyue is actually incomplete.

After all, before this incident, Liyue's development of the Chasm had always been ongoing, and only a small part of this underground mining area had been surveyed. As a result, an emergency occurred and the entire mining area was eventually forced to be sealed off.

Now Rhodes has a detailed map in his hand.

It was hand-painted bit by bit by Ye Lan alone underground after the abyss was closed.

Compared to the map in the hands of the Fatui.

The one in Rhodes's hand was much more detailed and expanded.

Using the 9th Company as the coolie to open the map, perhaps only she could come up with such a clever idea.

However, although the map was detailed, the location of the Frost Nail was not on the map. Rhodes relied on his memory to mark the blind spot in the completely black area on the map. He also specifically reminded Ye Lan to inspect the place first before taking action, so as not to go to the wrong place and work in vain.

Just like when Rhodes asked her to help delay Tartaglia from looking for someone, Ye Lan did not ask any questions and agreed without hesitation, then unilaterally cut off the communication between the two.

As to whether she would release the bound Frost Sky Nail, or whether she would go looking for the Frost Sky Nail, it is unknown.

"What delicious food should I prepare?"

While everyone else was busy sorting out the survey results, Seno came over to Rhodes, holding a meat-wrapped pancake, and looked at the strange meatballs of different colors in his hand.

The air in the underground mining area is hot and humid, and filled with all kinds of unpleasant odors.

In such an environment, even if scholars do not have to do heavy physical work every day like miners, they will still consume a lot of physical energy along the way.

The supplies prepared by Liyue are very professional. Most of them are foods that can quickly replenish physical strength and salt and are easy to store. The taste is average, but they are very suitable for the needs in harsh environments such as underground mines.

The scholars of Xumi are not picky people.

When we were still Dilyasin, we had been to all kinds of deep mountains and forests. The scholars selected by Nashida were all masters of survival in the wild.

Not to mention the supplies provided by Liyue now, when they were exploring the ruins in Xumi, they even ate the rotten animal corpses.

Relatively speaking.

At the moment, these foods were already delicacies for them who were starving.

The only different person here.

It's Rod.

While everyone was eating fried cakes, he sat aside, munching on meatballs while sipping cold water. This made Seno curious about what he had in his hand.

They were originally brothers under the same master.

Seno was not as reserved as Tinari. Seeing that Rhodes brought his own food, he came over and wanted to have some.

only.

Rhodes' next words made him give up his previous idea.

"It's made of slime. I specially asked someone to help me make it. Do you want to try it?"

Rhodes handed the meatball over with a smile.

This type of slime ball that has been processed with elemental power no longer emits black mist, but its original color is stained with thin black threads, which looks as weird as it can be.

"Slime"

The corner of Seno's mouth twitched.

Make sense.

When he was hunting criminals, he ate whatever he could get his hands on. During the most difficult times, he even ate insects.

But as for slime, he had never tasted it.

to be frank.

I really want to try it.

If it tastes good, he can catch a few slimes to fill his stomach when he runs out of food when hunting criminals in the future. After all, there are so many of these things and he can see them everywhere.

"You want to eat."

"Then wait until we get back. I'll go find the chef and ask her to make you a real slime meal. Enjoy it."

Rhodes didn't give Seno a chance to taste the slime ball and swallowed it in one gulp.

What a joke.
