While Jiang Bai and Xiao were exploring beneath the Chasm, the Sky that returned to Liyue was commissioned by the Adventurers' Guild.

Hearing this, Paimon tilted his head, "Commissioned us to investigate beneath the Chasm?" ”

Sister Lan, who is in charge of the Liyue Adventurers' Association, nodded, "Yes. This is a must-have commission. ”

"Why?" Paimon asked, confused.

"This. The two of them took a step to speak. ”

With Paimon's puzzled gaze, Sister Lan led the two to a corner where no one was around.

Sister Lan lowered her voice and beckoned them to come over.

Paimon swallowed, feeling like he was about to hear some big secret.

"It's not a secret, the Chasm has been closed for a while, and people are constantly urging to reopen the entrance to the Abyss, but due to the special situation below, and there is a crisis that is about to move, the investigation activities on the surface cannot be carried out, otherwise it will cause panic among the masses, so we can only issue a commission from our Adventurers' Association and entrust the two heroes to investigate."

"It's good to say this kind of thing, why do we have to say it secretly?" Paimon, who thought he would hear some big secret, was disappointed.

Sister Lan was a little embarrassed, "The people of Liyue have always been reserved, and the person who issued the commission to us was also tactful, and on the surface, the General Affairs Department forbade anyone to enter the abyss

"So, even if you want to ask for help, there are a lot of things that are inconvenient to disclose in public."

"So, let's go in quietly, right?" Paimon felt like he had grasped the meaning.

"Yes and no. The entrance to the Great Abyss is sealed, and you won't be able to enter without unlocking the formation. ”

"How do you sneak in?" Paimon is confused.

Empty is understood.

The Chasm of Strata is a matter of great importance, and the person who issued the commission wanted to solve the trouble beneath the Abyss and reopen the Abyss, but did not want to take responsibility, so he turned around and sent a commission to the Adventurers' Guild to let them enter the Abyss as an adventurer's private person.

In this way, in case of causing more trouble, the responsibility is also on the adventurer's guild and the adventurer who takes the task.

Thinking of this, Sora helplessly held his forehead.

There are a lot of twists and turns.

"The above person also pointed out that the two heroes were entrusted to do it, even if nothing was investigated, it would be fine, and the General Affairs Department also arranged someone to assist."

To be honest, Sora has just returned from Inazuma and wants to meet his friends, so he doesn't want to take the commission to go on an adventure so soon, but if the commission is considerable, it's not impossible to take it now.

Seeing that she still didn't speak, Sister Lan increased her chips.

"You can rest assured, you will definitely be satisfied with the commission of this investigation, and if you can solve the trouble below the Great Abyss, there will be heavy thanks there. Moreover, the Seven Stars agreed on a special permission for the two of them, and if any measures can be taken to ease the safety of the Chasm, all the treasures and treasures found underground can belong to the discoverer! ”

"Thank you! Treasure! Paimon's eyes changed to the shape of Mora, and he couldn't wait, "No problem, we'll take it!" Tell us about the Abyss! ”

"Well, you go to the Chasm to find Zhiqiong, and she'll tell you."

"Zhiqiong?"

"I'm an adventurer in the General Services Division, and I'm very familiar with the Chasm."

"Okay, we'll get there."

Strata Chasm is divided into above-ground and underground mines.

Due to the anomaly of the underground, only the above-ground mining area can still be mined, but after thousands of years of mining, the minerals in the above-ground mining area are decreasing year by year, and it is now difficult to dig precious minerals on the ground, so the entire above-ground mining area is very deserted.

Sora and Paimon go to the Chasm office and find the person in charge of the General Affairs Division.

After a conversation that could only be understood and unspeakable, Sora successfully found the Zhiqiong.

This is an adventurer who is not much different from the public impression, wearing the green clothes of an adventurer and carrying a large package, looking unremarkable.

"Ah, you're finally here!" Seeing them, Zhiqiong waved his hand.

"You know us?" Paimon asked, confused.

"Of course! I've heard of all sorts of your deeds, whether it's the suppression of the Demon Gods in Mondstadt, the Snow Mountains, or the Jade Pavilion...... You are the heroes of Liyue! ”

The adventurer, Zhiqiong, knows all about these adventures, and it's clear that this is an adventurer who loves adventure.

"No... It's not that exaggerated. Paimon was a little embarrassed by her compliment.

"Anyway, welcome to the Strata Chasm Exploration Team."

"Anyone else?"

"Of course, if you want to investigate the anomaly of the Great Abyss, it is not enough to rely on the strength of a few of us."

Zhiqiong introduced them to his companions, a scholar from Sumeru, a security technician from the General Affairs Department, and a bard from Mondstadt.

"How are we going to get down into the abyss?"

"This seal is the seven-star array under the Seven Stars, relying on the Panjian in the mountain rock to provide energy and maintain stability, you only need to destroy those keyboards to open the big array."

"Is it okay to spoil these?"

Zhiqiong shook his head, "Over the years, a lot of strange polymers have grown in the bedrock of the Great Abyss, the properties of these polymers are similar to the thing underground, and they can also absorb the surrounding rock elemental energy, constantly weakening the seal, even if we don't open the seal, the seal won't last long......"

"What are you talking about [that thing] underground?" Empty asked.

"According to the records, that thing is a huge blue crystal, with a very strange power, and it is difficult to describe the specifics, you will know when you see it. That's what we're mainly looking at this time. ”

"Blue Crystal ......"

Sora suddenly thought of the Nail of the Cold Sky of the Snow Mountain, which was also a blue thing.

Could it be something similar to the Nail of the Frozen Sky in the Snow Mountain?

It took a lot of effort to open the seal, bring the lumen stone catalyst that must be carried into the underground, and several people came to the underground mine.

The lumen stone catalyst is quite bright, and it is like a large flashlight in the underground without light, allowing people to see the surrounding things without obstacles.

"What's that glowing thing?" Paimon pointed to a blue hedron floating not far away.

"We've named it Lumens, and they should be fragments of something underground, migrating here along the veins of the rock."

Zhiqiong gave her opinion.

She thought the azure crystal was similar to the one underground.

Jinwu denied her conjecture, "No, according to our analysis, they are still local minerals in the Strata Chasm in terms of composition, but they have been affected by external forces and reconstituted this strange crystal. ”
