"Forget it. I'm free anyway, so I might as well make some extra money."

Without dwelling on this matter, Gao Muming set his sights on the Abyss Mage who was still in a dizzy state.

"It seems that not only you are collecting, but the Abyss Mage is also collecting. Compared with the Abyss Mage who can command the Hilliculers, our search efficiency is too low."

"Give me some time. Let me get some useful clues out of this guy."

As he spoke, Gao Muming flexed his wrists and walked towards the Abyss Mage with a grim smile on his face.

The Abyss Mage, who had just woken up, looked at Gao Muming who was walking towards him and subconsciously wanted to cast a spell. As a result, Gao Muming kneed him, and the Abyss Mage flew backwards instantly.

In the following period of time, Gao Muming used various means to engage in a full and in-depth communication with the Abyss Mage.

"Tell me, where are the crystals you collected? Give them to me, and I can spare your life."

"Don't even think about asking me to tell you. You...you'll never be able to find it."

In response to the Abyss Mage's answer, Gao Muming gave a fierce challenge. After repeating the question many times, Gao Muming changed the question.

"If you don't want to be beaten, then tell me how to remove your control over Tevarin?"

"You...you can't...take the dragon away from us."

"You are still so stubborn!"

As he spoke, Gao Muming continued to beat the Abyss Mage. After seeing that beating alone had no effect, Gao Muming's torture methods became even more cruel.

The entire Cape of Oath was echoing with the Abyss Mage's painful and shrill howls, and mixed in with the painful howls were the Abyss Mage's threats to Gao Muming.

"You are actually... the enemy of the abyss. Your Highness... Your Highness will... not let you go."

Gao Muming looked at the Abyss Wizard in his hand who was unconscious and did not forget to threaten him. He threw him to the ground and then looked at Ying who was covering Paimon's ears with his hands.

"Through the interrogation just now, we can indeed know that the Abyss Cult is indeed collecting Tevarin's tear crystals, and Tevarin has indeed been bewitched by the Abyss."

"It's just a pity that this guy is really a tough nut to crack. I really can't get any more information out of him."

"Ying, do you want to ask as well?"

After hearing what Gao Muming said, Ying released the hand that was blocking Paimon's ears and walked to the unconscious Abyss Mage.

The Abyss Mage, who was a little distracted, murmured something the moment he saw Ying appear.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty."

Hearing the words of the Abyss Mage, Ying instantly became excited.

Although I don't know whether the other party called me that because he saw that I had mistaken someone, or if he was simply calling me His Highness, but if the other party was confused by the unconscious Abyss Mage and confused me with someone else, the person called His Highness might be very similar to me.

In the entire Teyvat, Ying couldn't think of anyone else who looked very similar to herself except her brother, Sora.

Thinking of this, Ying reached out to the Abyss Mage, wanting to ask if he knew any news about her brother.

Just as Ying stretched out her hand, three abyss mages suddenly appeared and flashed to the side of the three of them.

Seeing this sudden change, Gao Muming hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Ying back, narrowly avoiding the spells of the three abyss mages.

After seeing Jiang Ying being forced to retreat, the Abyss Mages did not pursue the victory, but instead helped their companion on the ground up and teleported away in front of the three people.

Seeing the abyss mages on the opposite side teleporting away, Ying reached out to stop them.

"Wait, don't go..."

After seeing the Abyss Mage disappear, Ying put down her hand with some disappointment.

Paimon, who was standing by, saw Ying's look and flew to her side with some curiosity.

"Ying, what's wrong with you? Why are you so excited all of a sudden?"

Ying responded in a low voice.

"Paimon, the Abyss Mage just now might have mistaken me for their Highness..."

Hearing Ying's words, Paimon hurried to comfort Ying.

"You mean, your brother might be in the Abyss Cult? If that's true, then your brother should be of a high status, so he should be safe now. Then as long as we continue to save Tevarin and have intersections with the Abyss Cult, we may meet your brother."

Hearing Paimon's comfort, Ying nodded and smiled.

“Knowing that he is good is the greatest reward.”

Gao Muming, who was standing by, also made jokes at the right time to ease Ying's mood.

"Although I'm not sure yet, if what you guessed is true, then Ying, your background is incredible. You and Paimon will be able to dominate the entire Teyvat in the future."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, Ying and Paimon both laughed.

After putting away the things in the treasure chest, Gao Muming called Ying and Paimon to his side.

"The situation is now clear. The Abyss Mage is also collecting Tevarin's tear crystals just like us. Compared to the Abyss Mage who has already started searching for the Hillocks, we arrived too late. It is unlikely that we will get anything if we simply search in the wild."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, Paimon spoke anxiously.

"What should we do? We can't just give up, right?"

Gao Muming shook his head.

"It's too early to give up. What we need to do now is to prevent the other party from transferring all the crystals. Some of them are left in the temporary station and with the hillbillies who are collecting things."

"Then what we have to do next will be much simpler. We will search the bases and secret places where the Hillichul people are stationed nearby."

After hearing what Gao Muming said, Paimon had an expression that said, "I see through you."

"I can understand robbing the Hillilians' base, but why search the secret realm? Are you trying to dig for treasure? We are running out of time right now, and I don't want you to waste it."

Gao Muming stretched out his finger and shook it in front of Paimon.

"Even I know the priorities of the situation."

"I don't believe you. You are a very bad group of treasure hunters. You are often unreliable, especially when you see the treasure. I doubt your story."

"Alas, my family, you have to believe me. I said this for a reason. Although most of the Knights of Favonius have retreated back to Mondstadt, they will still maintain a certain degree of surveillance over the Dadaupa Valley, which is the hardest hit area by the Hillichouls."

"Since Mondstadt has not found any traces of the Abyss Mage here, it means that they are most likely hiding in a secret realm nearby. And in the secret realm where they are hiding, there may be teardrop crystals that they have not yet taken away."

After hearing Gao Muming's explanation, Paimon showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"I see. I misunderstood you. You are still very reliable."
