Original God: I can earn experience points

Chapter 76: Hero of the Dark Night
Li Qiuzhi felt very familiar with it. He had just encountered it in the secret realm two days ago. It was the Ice Abyss Mage, there was no doubt about it.

Why is it here?
Mondstadt is surrounded by walls. If the Abyss Mage flew over the wall, the patrolling Knights of Favonius would not be blind. Even if they were negligent, they would not fail to see such a conspicuous guy.

Could it have flashed in using magic? Or did it come directly through the Abyss Cult's teleportation network?
The flash range of the Abyss Mage does not seem to be too far. If he uses flash near the vicinity of Mondstadt, he may be discovered by the Knight of Favonius.

That can only be done by using the transmission network.

Are they here to gather intelligence? Or are they plotting something?
Moreover, it hides in the green belt in a strange way. By the way, those fluffy ears sticking up could be more conspicuous.

Why would the Abyss Cult trust such a guy with questionable IQ...

Li Qiuzhi entered stealth mode, controlling his steps to move closer without making any sound.

His right hand rested on the hilt of the Edgeless Sword +20, ready to draw the sword instantly and secretly poke it.

"Damn it! I was so close to succeeding, why did I get caught?!"

The green bushes trembled slightly, and a synthetic sound with a unique texture of monsters came from them. It was indeed the Abyss Mage.

It seemed that something that was about to succeed suddenly failed because it was discovered.

Li Qiuzhi seemed a little curious. What was the Abyss Cult going to do next? Last time it was the remains of the demon in the secret realm. Could it be that this time they wanted to attack Mondstadt directly?
The God of Wind has not appeared in Mondstadt for many years, so it is understandable that the Abyss Cult would send people to test it out.

After all, their goal is to overthrow the kingdom ruled by the Seven Gods.

Li Qiuzhi could not agree to such a thing. The continent of Teyvat was still relatively peaceful under the rule of the Seven Gods.

Although no one knows what secrets are behind the Abyss Cult, nor does anyone know why the traveler Kong became their prince.

But since they are openly doing something that is not in the interests of justice, then if you have the ability to do so, you should not hesitate to stop it!
For example, now, Li Qiuzhi suddenly clenched the edgeless sword and was about to unsheathe it.

Li Qiuzhi, who was in stealth mode, caught a glimpse of a flaming red sun coming down from above. His pupils shrank slightly. He immediately stopped what he was doing and controlled his leg muscles to force himself to take a step back.

The next second, the fire element burst out from the location where the Abyss Mage was, and all the nearby green bushes were burned to ashes.

"Wow"

The Ice Abyss Mage screamed and lay on the ground without a sound. In the middle of its body was a large sword with the fire element attached to it that had just dissipated.

The sword has a gorgeous blade with silver and purple interwoven into it, and intricate and beautiful patterns.

Li Qiuzhi was quite familiar with this sword. Noelle also had one. It was a four-star two-handed weapon unique to the Knights of Favonius - the Greatsword of Favonius.

That tricky attack angle just now was definitely not accidental. It seemed that he was discovered!
Li Qiuzhi looked in the direction where the sword was coming from.

A tall figure stood on the roof, his black cloak fluttering slightly in the night breeze. Under his hood he wore a mask with only his chin slightly exposed.

With his strong eyesight, Li Qiuzhi saw the red hair slightly sticking out from the back of the tall figure's neck through the black hood connected to the cloak.

Damn, hero of the night!
There is no doubt that Diluk, the owner of the "Angel's Gift" tavern, is actually the legendary dark night hero. Li Qiuzhi, who has played the original game, naturally knows this.

Damn it, I couldn't have been misunderstood, after all, stealth and invisibility are the standard skills for the Fatui debt handlers, and he seemed to remember that Diluk had a grudge against the Fatui!

His father's death seemed to be related to the evil eye of the fools.

In this context, even though stealth skills are not unique to the Fatui, Diluk would inevitably think of that direction first.

Besides, he did get this skill from the Fatui. Li Qiuzhi's heartbeat was slowly accelerating. The optical invisibility of stealth was somewhat ineffective for a powerful and experienced warrior like Master Diluk.

Diluk jumped down from above and stepped on the ground. He raised his right hand slightly, and a strong fire element was wrapped around him.

Even though I couldn't see his expression clearly, his fierce gaze was still quite frightening. Diluk said calmly:

"Come out, I don't want you to be unable to speak clearly later."

Phew, just don't do anything. As long as things are explained clearly, given Diluk's personality, he probably won't be unreasonable.

Li Qiuzhi let go of the hilt of the sword with his right hand, patted his chest lightly, and ended his stealth state.

Diluk was slightly startled when he saw the young man with short black hair and a Liyue face in adventurer's garb before he frowned and asked:

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Although this person is suspicious, he does not seem to be a member of the Fatui. This young man from Liyue does not have the disgusting aura of those guys at all.

Could it be a spy from Liyue?

It seems that Li Qiuzhi does not have the caution and style of a secret agent at all, so it is very likely that he is not one of them.

In the uncertain situation, Diluk didn't want to take action.
After all, this is Mondstadt, and if a Liyue person encounters any problem here, it is likely to escalate into a diplomatic issue.

Although he is no longer a member of the Knights Templar and their troubles have nothing to do with him, as a Mondstadt man, Diluk does not want his country to come into conflict with other countries.

"Well, you must be... uh, the legendary Mr. Dark Night Hero, right? Haha, living in Mondstadt, I always hear people praising you from time to time."

Li Qiuzhi almost blurted out Master Diluk's name, but fortunately he realized the problem in time, otherwise the rare relaxed atmosphere would have become more troublesome.

They hid it so well that no one knew about it except the acting leader of the Knights Templar and a few other people.

It was originally a small matter. If the identity of the night elf hero was accidentally exposed, hey, Master Diluk would have to use the underground intelligence means at his disposal to investigate his background thoroughly.

Although it was nothing to expose the identity of a time traveler in Teyvat, Li Qiuzhi did not like the feeling of being seen through at a glance.

That would make him feel insecure.

“Are you an adventurer?” Diluk said thoughtfully.

Li Qiuzhi smiled and nodded and replied:

“Yes, Miss Catherine from the Adventurer’s Guild can prove it, and I’m friends with the Knights’ Scout Knight Amber, so you don’t need to worry about me being a suspicious person.

"The reason I'm here is because on my way home, I discovered a monster sneaking into the city, so I planned to clean it up."

After saying that, Li Qiuzhi breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to have any conflict with Diluk. His strength was at least at the captain-level level of the Knights.

Li Qiuzhi could only get beaten up when facing him.
