Although Xia Yu wanted to ask Mona if she was joking, the other person's guarded look showed that Mona was not lying, not to mention that Mona had no reason to tease herself here.
But isn’t it too outrageous that the people in this inn are all agents?Hasn't this Wangshu Inn become a hiding place for agents... Regardless of its high popularity in Liyue, if it was really full of agents, would Liyue's Seven Stars allow it to open?
Unless, these people were originally under the command of Liyue Qixing... The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. The outrageous situation actually made Xia Yu relax.
"Mona, I don't think you need to be so nervous. Think about it, Wangshu Inn is one of the famous inns in Liyue, and it must be under the supervision of Liyue. If there are really agents, do you think they Which country is it from?"
"That's right..." After receiving Xia Yu's reminder, Mona finally turned around in her thinking. If an inn opened in a location similar to a large transit point in Liyue has only one or two internal agents from other countries responsible for inquiring about information. It's a normal thing, but if the entire inn staff is lying, only people from the country's own forces would dare to do this.
However, the people in this entire inn were specially arranged by the forces of the country. With such a huge amount of time and effort in setting up, could it be said that there is something special near Dihuazhou?Mona's curiosity was piqued by these Liyue eyeliners disguised as inn clerks.
But even if you ask them, if it involves a country's secrets, the other party will definitely not answer you... But you can't find a good way to know the truth of the matter. You want to use astrology, but there is nothing available. The information is used for divination.The uncomfortable feeling of itching in her heart like a cat's scratch made Mona let out a long sigh.
"Well, let's solve the problem of food and clothing first. I heard that the cuisine at Wangshu Inn is also unique in Liyue. It just so happens that I can try it today to see how it tastes." Mona began to make calculations in her mind.
Although he only has a little over 2 Mora on hand, Xia Yu has helped him a lot in finding someone, and he still has to wait for the other person to teach him how to make ice slime snacks. Way.
The most important thing is the source of the [-] molas. I really didn't help when I was looking for Boss Zhu's ring.Due to emotions and reasons, I have to treat myself to dinner.
However, due to the special location of Wangshu Inn and the nice decoration style, even if the price of this meal is cheaper than the two sky-high-priced restaurants in Liyue Port, it will not be much lower... But if you continue to pay for it, If you eat and drink, you can't justify it in terms of face...
do my best!At worst, I'll rush back as soon as I finish the teacher's task!Mona, who had made up her mind, looked at Xia Yu, and then said: "Xia Yu, in order to express my gratitude, I will pay for today's dinner." She called the waiter to get the menu and found a table. After sitting down at an empty seat in the building, Mona felt a little dizzy after opening the menu.
So expensive!
Vegetarian abalone costs 2 mola, Tianshu meat costs [-] mola, fried golden crab, golden shrimp balls and other aquatic products are all priced below [-] mola. Even the most common vegetarian dishes and home-cooked dishes are priced at [-] mola. The average is around [-] molas.The little more than [-] Mora in my pocket was divided equally among four people, and each of them couldn't even order a mid-to-high-grade dish...
"Waiter, the name of this vegetarian abalone should be vegetarian, right? Why is it so expensive?" Mona, trying to take advantage of some small loopholes, immediately asked the waiter, but found that the other person with a smile on his face had no fear at all. color.
"Of course it's because of the choice of ingredients for this vegetarian abalone." The waiter who answered Mona's question smoothly seemed to have encountered such questions often. “Since vegetarian abalone needs to be comparable to real dry-haired abalone, our selection of ingredients will never be much cheaper than dry-haired abalone.”
"Using authentic wild matsutake mushrooms, plus ham, scallops, and dried shrimps to cook the broth, this vegetarian abalone dish has a plain name, but it lacks the full fusion of the fragrance of mountain delicacies and the freshness of seafood. In terms of taste, it can definitely be regarded as one of our signature dishes.”
Mona was a little stunned when the waiter boasted about the food. This was both matsutake and ham. Why did the name have to have a plain character?
"Hmm... It sounds like it's really worth the price... Let's have the vegetarian abalone first." Mona, whose hands were trembling slightly, glanced at the menu for a few times and then turned her attention to the range of cheap home-cooked dishes. She hesitated for a while. When she found that she had no way to start, Mona gave up on herself and handed the recipe to Xia Yu, and then said: "The remaining dishes... Xia Yu, you see what you want, just order it!"
Um?After taking the menu and briefly reading it, Xia Yu finally understood why Mona gave the menu to him.
Judging from Mona's excitement in receiving Boss Zhu's [-] Mora reward, her financial situation should not be good.It is even possible that the [-] molas are all her property.
Although you can create some revenue by providing divination for others through astrology, astrologers cannot be avoided in the eyes of ordinary people as they get more popular as they get older.An astrologer like Mona, who is not yet twenty but has real skills, is probably not considered by ordinary people.
After all, things like understanding future fortune and the direction of things are still too metaphysical in the eyes of ordinary people.
Mona still has almost 5000 molas, so let’s order according to the standard of [-] to [-] molas.Xia Yu, who had made up his mind, said: "Give us another crab roe tofu, spicy boiled fish, and stir-fry a seasonal vegetable... By the way, is the crab roe in your crab roe and tofu curd real crab roe or is it beaten into fine pieces? Salted egg yolk?”
"Since we dare to sell it at such a price, it must be real crab roe~" The waiter who recorded Xia Yu's order was all smiles. After seeing that Xia Yu had no intention of ordering further, the waiter whispered He reminded: "This guest, because our cuisine is more refined, these dishes may not support a good dining experience for four people. My personal suggestion is to add two more dishes."
"Isn't the portion big? Then add two or three more dishes..." Xia Yu, who was flipping through the menu again, looked at Mona who raised her hand and seemed hesitant to speak, then continued: "This meal Let me pay for your meals.”
"How can that be possible? Didn't we all agree? I will pay for this meal..." Although I have anticipated the possibility of cleaning the dishes to pay off the debt, as the saying goes, if you keep your word, you will praise yourself. It's Haikou, no matter what, you have to grit your teeth and get through it.
"But Mona, the number of molas you have must be a bit tight." It was like a sharp three-edged military thorn pierced into Mona's heart. Mona, who was originally thinking about losing face, was completely silent, and her eyes looked like He also seems to have aged several years.Looking at Mona who fell silent and slightly lowered her head to avoid his gaze, Xia Yu confirmed his idea.
There is no need to dwell on these things for so long.It just so happened that I had just received a huge sum of money from the young master.It’s enough to last you a long time.Looking at Maura who seemed to be about to say something, he raised his hand to stop the black-haired girl's aggressive words. Xia Yu explained: "Don't worry, I don't mean to look down on you. After all, Mona, you have already told me It shows how powerful astrology really is."
"Every family has problems that are difficult to recite. Since Mona, you have been in a tight financial situation recently, let me take care of the payment for the time being. I just made a small profit of more than 3000 million yuan recently."
"How...how much?" The news, which was like a bolt from the blue, made Mona's eyes widen. She originally thought that Xia Yu just said something like this to fool herself so that she could accept his payment with peace of mind, but... why secretly The result of the divination was that Xia Yu's words were true!
More than 3000 million molas!I have never seen so much money in my life!Mona, who had no choice but to accept Xia Yu's proposal, finally nodded.
Alas...this is the only way.
————————————————————————
Finally... finally we arrived in Mondstadt!
Although more than a week or two have passed, Mona's face is still a little hot because of the payment incident at Wangshu Inn... She was obviously the one who proposed the treat first, but in the end, she paid more than 3 to [-] yuan. However, Xia Yu still paid the price.
Despite what he said, his savings were almost used up.
After leaving Wangshu Inn, even though Xia Yu paid for the dinner, or cooked it while camping in the wild.However, he paid for all the minor expenses such as resting and tasting tea at the small tea stalls along the way.
After all, everyone is only a little familiar with each other. Who would he become if Xia Yu paid for everything?
After walking across the bridge outside Mondstadt to the island within the city ring line, and walking close to the outer wall of the city wall for a short while, an independent small courtyard suddenly appeared in Mona's field of vision.
What is going on in this small courtyard?The emotion called doubt made the black-haired girl confused.Isn’t the main function of city walls and lakes to ensure safety?How could anyone live outside the warning range of the Knights of the West Wind?
"Here we are, welcome to my residence." Xia Yu, who was introduced to Mona, opened the door and saw a small pile of round dumplings jumping out of the courtyard and spinning around Xia Yu's feet. The slimes of various colors looked extremely excited, as if they were welcoming Xia Yu's return.
So many slimes!Are these all domesticated?Seeing this scene, Mona could roughly guess why Xia Yu chose to live outside the city wall. At least here, these monsters can be easily raised in the small courtyard.
It seems that because it is working time, no one is looking after the whole courtyard. The frozen tree and the fire-type deception flower in the courtyard are basking in the sun leisurely, and the little ones swaying in the wind. The leaves have an indescribable sense of laziness.The ice fireflies and thunder fireflies flying around the frozen tree also showed a sense of relaxation.
Wait... let’s not talk about Bingying and Leiying, why are there cheating flowers and freezing trees! ? ?Mona, who originally thought that Xia Yu would just raise a slime at most, was so surprised that her jaw almost dropped to the ground.You must know that the deceptive flower is a very aggressive plant monster. Under normal circumstances, let alone raising it, even if you look closely at the plants they mimic, they may break out of the ground and attack them.
And let alone the frozen tree, this giant plant whose adults can definitely exceed three meters in height was once listed as one of the extremely dangerous monsters.But why are the two plant monsters painted in different styles? ?
Taking advantage of the time before Mona recovered, Xia Yu, who gently caressed the slimes surrounding his feet one by one, followed the little ones back to the courtyard.Xia Yu opened the small door of the house and looked at the situation inside. The clean hall showed that someone was still cleaning the room after he left.
"Mr. Xia Yu, you are finally back!" The slightly excited male voice coming from outside the small courtyard made Xia Yu turn around.I saw a member of the advance team of Fools standing near the door. "We heard that you were missing for a long time after going to Liyue to watch the Immortal Invitation Ceremony. May I ask Mr. Xia Yu... how long will it take for your store to resume operations?" The fat member of the advance team of Fools looked at Xia Yu. full of expectations.
"Don't worry, you can inform your companions and I will be able to resume operations tomorrow."
"Okay! I'm going to tell my companions right now..." The members of the advance team of Fools left in a flash with excited expressions, leaving Mona even more confused.
Doesn't this city of Mondstadt belong to the Mondstadt region and is also inland of the island?Why are the vanguard members of the Fools of Winter Kingdom and not the members of the West Wind Knights the ones who came specifically to greet Xia Yu?Just as Mona was racking her brains to think about what was going on, the strong pressure coming from behind made the black-haired girl feel a chill down her spine.
This...what's going on?Mona, who turned her head very stiffly to look at the door, found that two little girls in red, who were almost identical in appearance, were running towards Xia Yu's position with happy faces. At a glance, the only difference between the two was The place is the pupils.
The beige-haired little girl in red who gave me a clear sense of oppression among the two actually had golden vertical pupils unique to dragon creatures!In other words, the identities of these two little guys are actually elves and dragons!
"Brother Xia Yu! Long time no see~!" Keli and Xiao Dulin, who looked happy, threw themselves into Xia Yu's arms.The happy looks of the two of them made Mona give up thinking completely.
No matter, this is Xia Yu's base camp anyway, he can just enjoy whatever he knows...
Chapter 112 Return, what Mona needs
Slimes, fireflies, cheating flowers, frozen trees, and finally another dragon appeared. The numerous monsters in the small garden made Mona feel a little unreal.The experience I had accumulated in more than ten years of life was shattered to pieces by the monster in this small room.
Did you say that the monsters will attack when they see people?Is it agreed that there will also be a certain amount of hostility between different types of Warcraft?What about the self-regulatory agencies that indiscriminately attack humans who approach?Could it be that I am all dreaming now?Mona, who stood there like a stone sculpture, was in confusion.
After the excitement and joy of the reunion, Keli, who raised her head from Xia Yu's heart, was the first to find the ruin hunter waiting by the wall of the courtyard. The little guy's eyes suddenly glowed with sparkle.Keli, who quickly jumped out of Xia Yu's arms, trotted over to the ruins hunter and showed a bright smile after checking.
"Brother Xia Yu, Relic Hunter! Can Keli and little Dulin ride on the Relic Hunter to go out and play together?"
"Relic Hunter? What is that?" Little Dulin, who was held in Xia Yu's arms, showed a confused expression. Obviously, compared to Keli, who originally liked running around and taking risks, rebirth into this world only required For a few months, little Dulin didn't know what the self-discipline mechanism of the ruin hunter was. The little guy who looked up at Xia Yu had doubts written all over his delicate little face.
"It's a flying robot, and it's also equipped with a lot of powerful bombs!" Keli, who was standing next to the ruin hunter and praising its performance, looked impatient and looked straight at Xia Yu. The little Keli's body was shaking gently, as if waiting for Xia Yu to wake up the ruin hunter.
"Don't be busy yet, Keli." Looking at the slightly disappointed look in the little guy's eyes, Xia Yu pointed to Mona who was still doubting her life, and then said: "The sister over there comes to you if she has something to do. After the problem is solved, I will activate the Relic Hunter and let you and Little Dulin fly around in the sky."
"Great!"
Regaining his energy, he immediately ran to Mona's side. Looking at Mona who was standing there blankly, the little guy stretched out his hand and gently poked Mona's arm. After Mona came to her senses, Keli He said, "Sister, why did you come to Keli for something?"
It seems that because Xia Yu promised to ride on the Relic Hunter, Keli, who was waiting for Mona's questions, seemed particularly enthusiastic and well-behaved. The little guy's sunny smile made Mona's mood improve a lot.
Is this the daughter of Master's rival Alice? She's quite cute.After adjusting her mood, Mona said to Keli: "Hello Keli, my name is Astorogis Mona Megistus, just call me Mona. May I ask about your mother?" Her name is Alice, right?"
"Huh? Are you here to see your mother? She went on an adventure with the grand leader of the Knights of the West Wind." Keli looked a little guilty when she answered Mona.
If this eldest sister came to see her mother, wouldn't she be able to help her?If he can't help, he won't be able to complete the mission given to him by Brother Xia Yu. In other words, Brother Xia Yu may not let him play in the Relic Hunter...
How can this work?
"Is there anything Keli can help with? Sister Mona!" Before Mona could continue to ask, Keli shouted out loudly, startling Mona.Mona was relieved by the energetic and cooperative Xiao Keli.
"Did your mother give you Keli a box that a friend left here? Because my teacher is a little old, she sent me to get this box back." The smooth progress of things made Mona I'm in a very good mood.Looking at Keli who nodded, Mona's eyes suddenly lit up.
Mission, successfully completed!
"Yes! Mom did give me a small box. But looking at her mysterious look, I thought this box should be regarded as a treasure, so I hid it Now." While explaining to Mona, Kelly took off her brown backpack.
After pouring out the items in the backpack, Keli looked at Mona who didn't know what she was doing, and then explained: "Because the box was still a little big, so Keli used the backpack to give it to Pretend to come back, sister Mona, brother Xia Yu, wait for Keli for a while, Keli will be back soon!"
The running little sun quickly disappeared into the small courtyard. Looking at the items Keli left on the small round table in the garden, Xia Yu couldn't help but shed a few drops of sweat on his forehead.
In addition to a thick notebook that looked extremely delicate, the table was piled with various explosives made by Keli herself.With a fiery red shell and small round eyes that Keli drew based on the plush pendant on her backpack, the dangerous bomb was also made extremely cute by Keli.
"Sure enough...are you putting all your energy into the research of bombs..." The exquisite bomb made Mona completely believe the information related to Keli that Xia Yu told her. Then, the girl's attention He was attracted by the notepad beside him.
What would such a little guy record in his notepad?After opening the notepad and seeing the month and date marked, Mona finally understood.
"This is a diary..." Mona was a little confused when she flipped through it and found that she couldn't find any record with Keli's mother Alice.
What can be recorded in a child's diary?It's nothing more than some interesting things and some small complaints about daily life.But what happened to this notebook?Apart from paying attention to fatness and thinness, there is no news related to bombs at all between the lines.
For a person who loves bombs to not mention a word about bombs in his diary, and compared to the innocent and lively personality Keli showed just now, and still worried about his weight, it doesn't look like he is eight or nine years old. Children around here can write it.Could it be that it was a mistake?How can this be?
The strange situation made Mona turn another page of her diary...
————————————————————————
Compared with Keli, who ran away instantly after being rewarded by the Relic Hunter, little Dulin's attention was attracted by the two thunder slimes that Xia Yu had just brought back.Looking at the two Ray Slimes who were sizing up their new living environment, little Dulin's eyes couldn't help but follow the two Ray Slimes.
Is this the Rei Slime that Brother Abedo mentioned?I didn’t expect there to be two types!Little Dulin walked to the golden thunder ball, squatted down and gently poked the unresponsive thunder ball. The numbing feeling made little Dulin a little frustrated.
Wow...it really does have the element of thunder, so you can't taste it to see what it tastes like...Little Dulin, who had a rough understanding of what kind of elemental creature Thunder Slime is, turned his attention to The direction of the small building.
Just now, brother Xia Yu took his new glasses brother and blue-haired sister to the house to choose a room. There will be more people to play with in the future.As the courtyard became more lively, little Dulin narrowed his eyes happily and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Brother Xia Yu!" Xia Yu walked out of the room and caught the little guy's attention. Little Du Lin, who trotted to Xia Yu's side, happily rubbed Xia Yu's palm with a sweet smile on his face.
"Brother Xia Yu, what are you having for lunch and dinner today?" Little Dulin, with a comfortable expression on his face, raised his head, his shining eyes full of expectation.It seems that little Dulin is more concerned about today's two meals than riding the ruin hunter.
"Don't worry, I promise to prepare delicious food for you." After answering the little guy's question, Xia Yu asked: "Little Dulin, did I tell you where Abedo went?"
Judging from the situation when we just entered the courtyard, the spotless condition of the home was definitely cleaned by Noelle. Since Noelle is a maid and also a trainee knight of the Knights of the West Wind, being away from home for the time being can be considered. Can guess.But where did Abedo go?
"Brother Abedo went to Longji Snow Mountain today." Xiao Dulin looked very proud as he answered to Xia Yu. "Brother Abedo will spare one day every week to go to Longji Snow Mountain and will not come back until noon the next day."
Xia Yu can completely understand the result given by the little guy. After all, the two Abedos still share the same identity.The two men, who had finally cleared up their old feud, still needed some information exchange to avoid getting into trouble before explaining the situation to everyone in Mondstadt.
Besides, they are both alchemists, so it is completely normal for the two of them to occasionally have discussions and exchanges.Although Albedo in his own family is a "failure" defined by the great alchemist's gold, compared with ordinary people, Albedo is still much better than ordinary people.
There is still some time before lunch, so why not check everyone's growth first? Xia Yu made up his mind and first observed the slimes basking in the sun in the garden.
It seems that a new companion has joined. The little guys gathered around blinked their big round eyes, or gently swayed their elastic bodies, communicating in a way unique to slimes. The group of people talking may have been influenced by the two slimes sticking together. Little guys, you looked at me, I looked at you, and then they began to follow suit:
There was a small bright red crystal next to the fire ball that was stuck together with the gray and black rock. In less than three seconds, the cheat flower on the side stretched out its vines and swept it away. Among the buds.
There was nothing special about the wind ball and the grass ball that were gathered together. On the contrary, the two little guys, the ice ball and the water ball, maybe because they used too much force when they came together, the two little guys 'popped' With a loud sound, they clump together like a bunch of candied haws. After three or four seconds, the two little guys who finally returned to normal separated quickly, with a look of panic on their faces.
puff!The silly and cute behavior between Bing Tuan Tuan and Shui Tuan Tuan made Xia Yu laugh out loud, and at the same time, it also reminded Xia Yu.
The slimes I raised now have all the attributes. Considering that these slimes do occasionally stick together like today, there are some little guys who obviously can't stick together. It's time to remind them.
The second is the fire-type Deceit Flower and Freezing Tree. When planning the courtyard garden, the Freezing Tree and the Flame Flower were separated by a certain distance, and the active range was set near the Flame Flower. The deception flower and the frozen tree are getting along well.
The appearance of the frozen trees that I raised from seedlings became even more special: compared with the huge body of the mother, which was often seven or eight meters high, the frozen tree saplings stopped growing after growing to about 1.3 meters. There has been a huge change in color. The frozen tree seedling is as translucent as a blue jade, and you can tell that it is unusual just by its clear color.
According to the theory given by Abedo before, this is a phenomenon that occurs when this frozen tree seedling accumulates pure elemental power. I just don’t know what kind of special situation this little guy will have next?
In comparison, the most stable ones are the Ice Fireflies and Thunder Fireflies that stay around the frozen trees and houses. It seems to be because the domestic environment is indeed much better than that in the wild. Xia Yu found that the physical fitness of the six little guys was The wild Bing Ying and Lei Ying were obviously much stronger.
Just when Xia Yu was happy that the monsters in the small courtyard were growing well, there was a loud knock on the door, which made Xia Yu quickly open the door after regaining consciousness, and saw Keli's figure appearing at the door.The little guy was panting heavily. He seemed to be running between her treasure spot and the small courtyard. His face turned red, and there was a dense layer of sweat on his forehead.
"Sister Mona! I brought you the box you asked for!" Keli, who rushed to Mona's side without stopping, looked extremely excited. After taking out the box Mona needed from her small backpack and placing it on the table, Looking at Mona who had come back to her senses, Keli, who couldn't help but want to ride on the Ruin Hunter, looked at Mona with bright eyes, as if waiting for the other party's acceptance.
"That's right! It's this box." The smile on Mona's face froze as she happily picked up the box.
This box...why is it so light? ?
Feeling that something was not going well, Mona quickly opened the lid. Looking at the empty wooden box, Mona was completely dumbfounded.
The things the teacher asked me to bring back are gone. How can I explain to the teacher? "Kelly... where are the things in the wooden box?" Mona looked a little anxious when she asked Keli.
"Huh? It turns out that Sister Mona, what you want is what's in the box. You should have told me earlier~" When she said this, Kelly pointed to the diary in Mona's hand.
"That thing is in your hands, Sister Mona."
Eh?Eh! ! !
Chapter 113: Go to work, Mona!
Wha...what?This notebook is not Keli's, but something that his master wants to retrieve by himself?Keli's words were like a heavy hammer hitting Mona's head, and the black-haired girl's mind was in chaos.
what to do?What should we do now? ?Completely losing her past calmness and arrogance, Mona was as panicked as a frightened bird and curled up into a ball with her hands on her head and squatted on the ground. "I can't go back now. I know all the dark history of the dead old woman. She will definitely kill me when I go back..." Mona kept repeating in a broken tone as if she was broken. Keli felt something was wrong.
Could it be that Keli got into trouble again?But Sister Mona said she only wanted a box... There was a hint of guilt on her face, and Keli, who had lost her mind, looked at Xia Yu standing aside with a look of help.
