However, leaving the two of them alone in an unfamiliar city wasn't a good idea, so Lu Li decided to find a tour guide to show them around.

The first choice is naturally the scout knight Amber. This enthusiastic girl is very friendly and warm to foreign travelers. Lu Li had met her a few times during his time living in Mondstadt.

But before Lu Li could bring Columbia to Amber, he suddenly noticed a fiery red figure coming towards him.

She was a cute little girl with blonde hair, red eyes, and pointed ears, just like an elf.

"Hehe, detention is finally over! Klee is invincible today!"

At this moment, she was walking with an air of indifference, carrying a bulging backpack, heading towards the city's outskirts.

"Klee!"

Lu Li recognized her at a glance, and then, on a whim, he raised his hand and called out to her.

"Whoa?! Jean, Captain Jean, Klee isn't trying to sneak out..."

Suddenly hearing someone call her name, the little girl named Klee was so frightened that she quickly covered her head with her hands as if in surrender.

"Don't be afraid, Klee. I am the Traveler... a friend of the Knight of Honor."

Lu Li led Columbia and the others to Keli and explained. The contrast between her frightened appearance and her previous ruthless demeanor made Lu Li chuckle.

Although he had lived in Mondstadt for a period of time before, it was right after the Dragon Plague, and Klee had been taken to Dragonspine during the Dragon Plague, so this was the first time Lu Li had met her.

However, he had heard Ying and Paimon mention Klee before, so it would be helpful to explain why he knew her.

"Hello, friends of the Honor Knight! Brothers and sisters, what brings you here to see Klee?"

Upon hearing Lu Li mention Ying, Klee's eyes lit up immediately. She raised her hand high to greet Lu Li and the others, and became curious.

"Hello there."

Colombia raised her hand and gently moved her beautiful fingertips in response.

Ruo'e, on the other hand, observed Ke Li with a puzzled expression.

"Hi Klee, here's the thing. These two ladies are visiting Mondstadt, but they're quite busy, so they'd like to ask if you could be their tour guide?"

Lu Li pointed to Columbia and the others who were following behind and explained to Keli.

"Wow, she's a big sister from abroad visiting Mondstadt... But Klee doesn't know how to be a tour guide!"

Upon hearing this, Klee happily waved to Columbia and Rosie, but soon shrugged and shook her head in some trouble.

"It's okay, Klee. You just need to take them and do what you want to do. After all, Klee looks so happy, the things she wants to do must be really fun, right?"

Seeing Keli's distressed expression, Lu Li smiled gently, then took Columbia and Ruo'e's hands and pulled them in front of him.

As long as they follow Klee, at least they don't have to worry about encountering any trouble.

"Oh, okay, Klee understands. Don't worry about them, Klee will take care of them! Klee will take them to do the most fun things!"

Upon hearing that she could do whatever she wanted, Klee immediately and happily agreed.

"Hey sisters, come with Klee! Klee's taking you to get some fried fish!"

Then, Claire called to Columbia and Rosie and headed out of the city.

"Oh! Fried fish!"

Although Ruo'e didn't know what it meant, seeing Keli's excited expression, she immediately let go of Lu Li's hand and followed.

"Go on, little pigeon, I'll come find you after I'm done talking."

Lu Li gently patted Columbia's hand.

"Um."

Columbia responded and then followed Claire.

After watching the three of them walk away together, Lu Li turned around and headed towards the Knights of Favonius.

He knew Qin, so after being informed, Lu Li was able to enter the Knights' headquarters and go to the leader's office.

Qin seemed to be dealing with something, and only looked up after hearing the door open.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you, Qin. You still look very busy."

Lu Li greeted Qin.

"So it really is Mr. Lu Li. It's been a long time. Please have a seat."

"As the acting leader, there are naturally some things I need to do personally."

Qin recognized Lu Li and gestured for him to sit in the office before explaining.

"I understand, I understand. I'll try not to take up too much of the director's office time. Please take a look at this photo."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li nodded repeatedly and took out several pre-prepared photos from his Glass God Eye before stepping forward.

The photo shows the defiled, reversed idol that Lu Li photographed in the ruins.

"This is……"

Upon seeing the photo Lu Li handed her, Qin subconsciously took it and glanced at it.

The next moment, a look of astonishment appeared on her usually composed face, and she suddenly stood up, causing the objects on the table to sway.

"This was discovered by me and the Traveler in a ruin in Liyue. Since it looks like something from Mondstadt, I made a special trip to tell Jean about it."

Lu Li explained to Qin.

"I see. Thank you very much for the information. We will contact Liyue immediately and then organize a team to go to Liyue to try to bring back the statue. Please point out the location of the statue's ruins to us when the time comes, Mr. Lu Li."

Qin thanked Lu Li earnestly, and then made a request.

In the realm ruled by the Seven Worldly Rulers, the Statues of the Seven hold great significance. When the Statues of the Seven in Mondstadt were stolen, the Knights of Favonius and the Church conducted a thorough search, but found nothing and had to let the matter drop.

Now that we know the Statue of the Seven is lost, we must find a way to bring it back to Mondstadt no matter what.

Although this statue is unlikely to be put back in its original place, its significance and historical value are no less than any ancient artifact that has been lost to the world.

"Oh, that's easy, it's that..."

Lu Li hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Rest assured, as long as you successfully find the idol, the Knights will pay you a reward of ten million Mora on behalf of the Church."

Qin immediately understood Lu Li's meaning and made that promise.

"what?"

"Is that little?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Li scratched his head.

In fact, this reward was definitely not small, but after experiencing Ningguang casually giving away precious medicinal herbs worth 25 million Mora, Lu Li couldn't help but feel that it was a little too little.

"Looks like Ningguang has more money..."

Lu Li muttered to himself.

"Thank you, Commander Qin. But there's another issue. You should be able to see the unusual thing about the statue in the photo, right?"

At this moment, Lu Li thought of something and pointed to the spot in the photo where the wind god statue in the zither was being held by both hands.

What should have been a precious pearl has now turned into a constantly gathering black aura.

"Is this... the power of the abyss?"

Qin had only ever seen some abyss mages and beast hounds before, so this intense abyss power made her carefully check before answering.

The abyssal power gathered here is far greater than the abyssal power contained in the poisonous blood from Dvalin's wound.

"That's right, the monsters that stole the statues were actually from the Abyss Order. They planned to use the Seven Statues for some evil schemes, but the Traveler and I stopped them."

"And if the Knights and the Church are willing to pay an extra fee, I can help you remove the abyssal power from the idol."

Upon receiving Qin's reply, Lu Li nodded affirmatively and then shared the idea that had suddenly come to him.
