Legend has it that when the nameless star fell, a piece of rubble splashed out and landed among the rocks in the northern part of Lisha Suburb.
The silent gold and stone contain aura and spirit. Falling from the sky, it possesses a pride that the simple and firm rocks on the earth do not have.
Afterwards, countless demons and kings on earth fought each other for the throne destined by heaven, and the starry sky and the abyss were eclipsed. The falling stars from the sky could not bear the disturbance and fled to the sky regardless of the layers of rocks and the abyss to keep them.
This is the origin of Dunyu.
As for the word "Ling", that is another story.
"Sir, the conditions in the wild are not good. Please bear with me. When you arrive at the Layered Rock Abyss, I will arrange for a cook to welcome you."
While Bai Luo was observing Dun Yuling, the head of the supply team had already come to Bai Luo's carriage with his men, carrying several dishes.
To be honest, compared with Bai Luo's previous experience of sleeping in the open, this meal can definitely be considered a feast.
But in the eyes of these fools, that is not necessarily the case.
After all, every executive has his own standards. Who knows what kind of food this big shot likes
So he had tried his best to serve up all the food he could.
"Come up and eat together."
Rolling up his sleeves, Bai Luo waved to the other party and said.
"That's... okay."
For ordinary people, being treated like this by their superiors would definitely be flattered, and they would take advantage of this opportunity to climb up the ladder and seek benefits for themselves.
But the fools are different.
As Fatui's subordinates, they know better than anyone how strange the Fatui's executive officers' tempers are.
It's not uncommon to be killed for a disagreement.
Even though it was rumored that the instructor had a better temper than other executive officers, the person in charge still felt very uncomfortable at the thought of having to eat with the executive officer.
“Can you use chopsticks?”
Looking at the slightly reserved middle-aged man, Bai Luo picked up the cutlery and handed it over.
"I will use it."
The person in charge took the chopsticks with trembling hands and said.
After all, he has worked in Liyue for so long that he basically knows everything there is to learn. It is no exaggeration to say that he is half a Liyue person.
"What's your name?"
"Yefim Volkov."
Holding chopsticks in his hand, Yefim didn't look like he was having a meal with Bai Luo, but rather like a prisoner being interrogated.
You can't say he's timid.
As the team leader of the transport team, he never had the audacity to hope to meet the executive officer in his life, let alone sit down and have dinner with the executive officer.
Not to mention eating, he even felt a cramp in his stomach and couldn't eat anything.
"You've always been the one supplying the Layered Abyss, right?"
"The supply here was previously handled by Liyue's General Affairs Department. After the Fatui's reputation in Liyue improved, after consultation with Lord Andre, the Seven Stars agreed to let us also carry out some of the supply transportation work."
Yefim, who had just raised his chopsticks to symbolically take a bite of the food, immediately put them down and answered aloud.
"Who is responsible for picking you up?"
Carefully savoring some of the details in Yefim's words, Bai Luo asked aloud.
"It's Mr. Captain. Whenever I deliver supplies to the cooperative supply point, he is the one who comes to collect the supplies."
In fact, Yefim didn't know the captain's name. These fighters were more arrogant than each other, especially the Ninth Company under the abyss.
As the Rooster's direct company, they were crowned as heroes and came to support Liyue.
After receiving the supplies, they would leave and had no intention of communicating with the supply personnel.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the following situation is really urgent and they have no time to greet their colleagues.
"Have you ever seen Tartaglia in the Abyss?"
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Bai Luo asked again.
Chapter 816: Meat
Looking for Tartaglia was one of the reasons why he followed the supply team to the Layered Abyss.
He could understand why Tartaglia didn't cause trouble for him when he first came to Liyue.
After all, at the beginning, he deliberately asked his men to conceal his whereabouts.
But as the things he did became bigger and bigger, his affairs in Liyue could basically no longer be concealed.
But even so, Tartaglia, who was at the bottom of the abyss, showed no intention of coming up, not even a verbal message.
This is quite intriguing.
After finishing most of the things at hand, he planned to make a trip to the Layered Abyss before going to Inazuma.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. He wanted to see what happened in the Chasm that made Tartaglia, who could evolve from Dartadpole to Psyduck just by smelling his scent, ignore his existence.
"I'm sorry, I'm just a transport team leader. At most, I can only rest at the supply station outside the Layered Rock Abyss. I have no chance to go down there, so I have never had the chance to meet you, Master."
Putting down the chopsticks in his hand again, Yefim said in fear and trepidation.
Being able to sit down and have a meal with the executive Bai Luo and return alive would be enough for him to brag about for years.
Meeting another executive officer again... He couldn't even think about it.
"Well, don't be nervous, eat, keep eating."
Judging from Yefim's behavior, he really didn't know much information. Bai Luo didn't make things difficult for him and finished this not-so-"sumptuous" lunch with him.
After resting, the group headed towards the rock abyss again.
According to the original plot, the 9th Company in the Chasm should have been abandoned in the Chasm because of the feud between Zhidong and Liyue, and now their supplies have been completely cut off.
However, because of the addition of Bai Luo, a troublemaker, the Fatui suddenly became the heroes of Liyue during the crisis in Liyue Harbor, which led to a major reversal of the situation.
They were shouldering the mission of bringing peace to Zhidong and Liyue, and were directly regarded as heroes by the uninformed people of Liyue. They lived a very comfortable life.
It's not just about supplies. For some reason, Tartaglia also went into the Layered Abyss himself. I believe that with him in charge, the 9th Company will only be better than before.
Near dusk, the convoy finally arrived at the transfer station outside the Layered Rock Abyss.
"Stop, please explain your purpose!"
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the transfer station, Qianyan Army, holding white tassel spears, blocked the convoy's way.
Bai Luo was about to get up when Yefim, who had been following the carriage, took the initiative to take on the task of lobbying.
You must be kidding. If the executive officer were to go there in person, something terrible would happen.
"Gentlemen, I am the captain of the Fatui's Third Transport Squadron. Here are our documents. Please review them."
Compared with ordinary Fatui, Yefim was not too aggressive, but rather more humble and tolerant.
In fact, Bai Luo could see that with Yefim's ability level, being the captain of a mere transport team was simply a waste of talent.
But he is very satisfied with the status quo and has no idea of getting promoted or moving up a few levels. He is a guy with ability but no ambition.
"Okay, because the situation here is special, please understand."
As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you.
Since Yefim was so polite, Qianyanjun's tone softened a lot.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the document in Yefim's hand, the Thousand Rocks soldiers on guard voluntarily gave up their position and allowed the convoy to enter the Layered Rock Abyss.
This was not the first time that Bai Luo had come near the Layered Rock Abyss, but it was definitely his first time to enter inside the Layered Rock Abyss.
Although I didn't really reach the bottom of the abyss, the feeling was different from the last time.
There seemed to be some kind of mist in the huge pit, and there were all kinds of wooden cranes, cable cars, mine cars and other equipment.
Judging from the surrounding fortifications, the Layered Rock Abyss was once a bustling scene, but now it is very desolate, giving people a feeling that things have changed and people have changed.
Due to some reasons, this place has been out of operation for a long time, so the temporary house has temporarily become the residence of the Qianyan Army stationed nearby.
The convoys that were able to pass through the pass and enter the Layered Abyss were generally their own people, so the Thousand Rocks Army did not come forward to question them, and occasionally someone would even wave over here in a friendly manner.
However, Bai Luo's gaze did not linger on them for too long, but was more focused on checking the situation around him.
The terrain here is complex and rugged, with towering cliffs on the ground, and scattered with disordered rocks and minerals exposed outside the mountain. The scenery is so unearthly that the word "miracle" is not enough to describe it. The terrifying landform gives people a feeling of suffocation.
This breathless feeling makes it hard to tell whether it is due to altitude sickness caused by the high terrain or simply from being shocked.
"Sir Executive Officer, earthquakes occasionally occur here that come and go quickly. You don't need to be nervous when they happen. This is very normal in the Abyss. I heard from the people in the Thousand Rock Army that this situation is called the "Breath of Meat."
Perhaps it was because Bai Luo acted too harmless, Yefim gradually began to relax.
As the convoy moved forward, he did not forget to tell the other party about some of the conditions here.
"The breath of a meatball?"
What Bai Luo cared about was not the vibration, but the so-called lump of meat.
This shouldn't be
"Well, it is said that in ancient times, there was a king in Tianqiu Valley who was revered as the Dragon King of the Mountains. Legend has it that he was subdued by the Rock God Morax with force here and was sealed in the deep mountains of Jueyunjian. He is still sleeping today. This vibration that appears from time to time is his snoring."
When Yefim talked about this story he had heard, he was more of a joke.
Jueyunjian is a long distance away from here. No matter whether there really is a dragon king sealed in the mountains there, how could his snoring affect the huge rock abyss thousands of miles away
"Meat ball... ... to be called that, I believe it must be very fat, right?"
Feeling the sway of the carriage, Bai Luo said jokingly, the smile on the corner of his mouth showed that he was in a very good mood.
"Who knows? Even the name 'meat ball' was something the miners heard from the older generation. The real situation is no longer verifiable."
Yefim is indeed a man of practical talents. If he did not have some connections with the Qianyan Army, he would never have been able to obtain this level of intelligence.
Especially the contact with the old miners.
For some reasons, operations here have long been stopped, and only some old miners with special qualifications are qualified to stay here and carry out small-scale operations.
And this is just the qualification. If you want to carry out mining operations in the true sense, you have to go through special assessments. You can be said to be a talent among talents.
These miners are basically protected, and it is not easy to get close to them.
While the two were chatting, the convoy finally arrived at the Fatui's cooperative supply point.
Bai Luo is finally going to meet Dadalia.
Chapter 817 Katarina
"Mr. Executive, we have arrived."
After the carriage gradually stopped, Yefim took the initiative to come to the front of the carriage, bowed, and spoke.
Although his position is the captain of the transport team, he is actually not a warrior, but more of a civilian.
But even so, compared with some of the businessmen under the rich, his physique is already very good.
At least he had been traveling with the convoy the entire time, and he didn't look tired at all from the long journey.
"Um."
He took off his mask from his waist and covered his face with it.
In such serious occasions, he usually chooses to wear his mask to show his majesty.
When Bai Luo came out, the staff at the cooperative supply point had already started to move supplies.
Although this is a cooperative supply point, most of the staff are from the Fatui, which is one of the reasons why Yefim chose to transport the supplies here.
Good things should be kept within the family.
"Mr. Executive!"
Bai Luo had just stepped out of the carriage when he heard a voice that sounded a little surprised.
Amidst a burst of exclamations, a slightly petite figure squeezed past the staff carrying supplies, came hurriedly to the front of the carriage, and saluted Bai Luo.
