Chapter 114: The Abyss Cult wants to lift the curse of immortality?
Nine o'clock in the morning, at the entrance of Alien Food.
"When everyone talked about this, the first thing I thought of was to take care of your business. How about that? Am I loyal enough?"
Dixia patted Zheng Tian on the shoulder and said.
Zheng Tian: "Need I say that? It's just... you ordered so much, can you finish it?"
Looking at the dishes and quantities recorded on the list, Zheng Tian was a little worried. He didn't like wasting food and always finished the food in his bowl.
Early this morning, Dishia and Dina Zedai came over and placed a large order to be used for the celebration.
Dixia: "Don't worry, there are many mercenaries in the team. You can doubt other things, but you can't doubt their appetite and their habit of cherishing food."
Zheng Tian nodded: "Yes, that's good, I'll ask the black shadow ninja to deliver the food tonight."
Dixia: "Are you sure you won't come? The lady is looking forward to your coming."
Zheng Tian: "No, your celebration is very special. What can an outsider like me do? I wish you all a good time."
Dixia: "Okay, I'll come see you another day. I still need to go to the tavern to buy some wine. It's the same with you. It's really strange that restaurants in Mond don't sell much wine."
After saying goodbye, Dixia called her companions to leave. Zheng Tian turned around and walked back to the store to continue reading the book he was reading recently.
Xiangling and the shadow ninjas would occasionally walk past Zheng Tian, but did not disturb him.
However, after a while, someone came to disturb us again.

Kaiya pushed the door open and walked straight towards Zheng Tian after seeing him: "Hey, Zheng Tian, what book are you reading?"
Zheng Tian closed the book and showed the cover to Kaia: "Encyclopedia of Teyvat Plants. You probably aren't that interested."
Kaiya sat next to Zheng Tian: "If I have the time, I would rather go have a drink."
Zheng Tianbian opened the book again and said, "You shouldn't have a day off today. It's not even dinner time yet. What's going on?"
Kaiya: "Look at what you said, can't I come over to see you if nothing happens?"
Zheng Tian: "Sure. Come on, Xiangling, serve two glasses of grape juice to our cavalry captain."
Xiangling, who was busy in the hall, said: "Okay!"
Kaia: "... Stop! No grape juice! Even beer will do."
……
Kaiya: "Actually, just like you just guessed, I do have something to talk to you about."
Zheng Tian looked at the half-empty wine glass on the table and said, "You're drinking when you have something important to do."
Kaiya: “No delay.”
Zheng Tian: "What's the matter?"
Kaiya leaned in and said, "The leader asked me to tell you that we will meet at the library at one o'clock this afternoon. You must come. Remember, come quietly."
Zheng Tian: “…Ah?”
Ignoring Zheng Tian's confused look, Kaiya drank the wine in the glass, then stood up and left.
……
One p.m.
In the library, Zheng Tian emerged from the dark shadow on the wall beside the door.
Looking at Qin, Lisa and Kaia who had gathered together, I thought to myself, as expected, they have something serious to discuss.
Lisa was sitting in the administrator's seat drinking coffee, while Kaia kept throwing a Mora, both of them looked calm. Only Qin had a serious expression, lowering her head and thinking about something.
Zheng Tian walked up to the three people.
Without waiting for the three to speak, Zheng Tian took the lead and said to Kaiya: "Do you have anything to say?"
Kaiya's face was blank for a moment. "What? It was Qin who asked me to tell you to come over to discuss something. You know that."
Qin was also a little confused, but still nodded and said, "Yes. Sorry, Zheng Tian. I should have come to discuss this with you, but I'm worried that we've been targeted.
Although we can ask the black shadow ninja to help us move, if our traces disappear immediately after Kaeya notifies you, it is very likely to arouse the enemy's suspicion. That's why I asked you to stay here."
Lisa also closed her book and said hello: "Good afternoon, Zheng Tian."
Kaiya winked and said, "Zheng Tian, what do you mean?"
Zheng Tian: "...Nothing interesting. Qin, Lisa, what's the matter?"
I'll deal with you later, Kaia.
Jean: "It's like this. Today the Knights received a secret letter. However, this is a letter from the Abyss Cult."
As she spoke, Qin took out an envelope and handed it to Zheng Tian.
Zheng Tian took the envelope and opened it to check, and soon understood the situation.
"The Abyss Cult wants you to hand over Gauss in the Whispering Forest tonight?"
Qin nodded: "Yes, that's what we want to discuss with you."
Lisa: "Of course, we won't agree to hand over Gauss, and we don't have the ability to do so."
Kaia also stopped playing around and said with a serious expression, "But the Abyss Cult will definitely not wait for us to hand over our people. So what we really need to pay attention to is their purpose in wanting Gao Si, what means they have prepared, and... whether you have been exposed."
Lisa: "Yes, this matter is confidential, but it's not too confidential. After all, you don't care about it normally. For example, you went to another world some time ago, and you didn't show up in Mond for a few days, and Gauss's treatment was also postponed. This is a huge doubt.
Once you are exposed, it becomes more complicated.”
Jean: "If you are exposed, it means they may be deliberately irritating you, which is far more serious than what they are doing to Gauss. After all, they should know that your fighting ability is not inferior to that of Tevarin.
If you are not exposed, then what do they want Gauss, the Mond doctor, for? Is there anyone in the Abyss Cult who needs medical treatment?"
Zheng Tian frowned: "I roughly guessed some of it."
If it wasn't exposed, did they ask for Gauss in order to... curse him?
The Abyss Cult wants to lift the curse of undeath?
