"Calm down, Mona." Trying to comfort Mona, who was slightly mentally broken, Xia Yu walked to the side of the black-haired girl and found that her words were not heard at all.After patting Mona on the shoulder, looking at the other person's eyes that had lost their luster, Xia Yu quickly advised: "Calm down, think about it, how can any master get so angry that he kills his most proud apprentice? Your master I must be joking with you."

"No...that damn old woman really knows how to do it!" Mona, who seemed to be mentally disturbed, roared loudly. Her slightly crazy state scared Keli who was beside her and took several steps back.Mona, who had her hands on Xia Yu's arms, had completely lost her composure. Even the master whom she respected very much along the way began to call her a dead old woman.

"Xia Yu, you don't know how terrifying that dead old woman is. The murderous aura she exuded when she mentioned this thing before I came here almost made me suffocate!"

As if all her energy had been exhausted by the words just now, Mona's eyes began to become dull with a numb face. "It's over... There is no possibility of lying in front of the old woman's astrology. If you go back, you will definitely die..." Feeling that Mona had returned to her declining appearance, the hands holding her arms gradually began to loosen. Xia Yu quickly grabbed the shaky Mona and supported her to prevent her from falling to the ground.

This... Keli, who witnessed the whole process, was completely dumbfounded. If Keli was not clear about other things, Keli couldn't be more clear about being punished after making a mistake.

After all, the confinement room next to Captain Qin's office has been regarded as Keli's second home by everyone in the Knights of the West Wind...

"Um...Brother Xia Yu, you really don't care about Keli. Sister Mona said she wanted the box, not the contents...I'll run away first!" The guilty little guy said in Xia Yu's eyes With an angry and funny look in his eyes, he quickly fled into the cabin, and then slammed the door shut, completely ignoring his previous promise to take the Relic Hunter for a test flight.

That's all... Although Keli was indeed at fault, in general it was Mona's own curiosity that was to blame.The most important thing right now is not to shirk responsibility, but how to recover Mona from her current obviously abnormal state.Just when Xia Yu was thinking about how to speak, Mona, who was still in a state of mental breakdown, seemed to react to Keli's words.

"Run away? Yes...that's right! As long as I run away, that's fine, right?" The smile on her face gradually became wild. Under the pressure of death, Mona's original mystery was a little arrogant. The charming persona fell into pieces at this moment.

"As long as I stay in the Mondstadt area and don't go back, the old woman cannot come all the way to Mondstadt to catch me at her current age. As long as I stay in Mondstadt until she is buried in the ground, that will be my victory. !”

That’s right!Why didn't I think of such a good way just now?Just as Mona was congratulating herself on her idea, another fatal question suddenly came to her mind and kicked the girl who had just climbed onto the river bank into the fast current.

I only have about three thousand molas left in my pocket!

The suburbs of Mondstadt are relatively less stable than Liyue. The Qianyan Army is permanently stationed in the suburbs. Although the Knights of the West Wind are also responsible for patrolling the Mondstadt area, due to the lack of manpower, it is not wise to sleep in the wild. choice.

Then there is the more practical problem. Even if the prices in Mondstadt are more than three times cheaper than in Liyue, the three thousand moras in my hand plus the sunset fruits I go out to pick are only enough to support two meals.Even if you want to go to the Adventurer's Guild to take on some simple and quick tasks, you must first pay a fee to register as an adventurer.

Not to mention making money during the introduction, if I'm unlucky and encounter some troublesome tasks, I'm afraid I won't even be able to survive today... What should I do?

In Xia Yu's confused eyes, Mona, who had already begun to feel happy, suddenly withered again like a flower that had encountered the cold spring. "Mona, what are you...?" Xia Yu asked Mona and found that the black-haired girl had a look of despair on her face.

"Mora...Mora is not enough. I have to go to the Adventurer's Guild to try my luck now." Mona, who really told her reasons, turned gray like a burnt fire, dragging heavy steps towards Walking in the direction of the gate of the small courtyard, the back of the black-haired girl looked particularly forlorn.

The poor girl couldn't help but make Xia Yu feel a little sympathetic. If Mona's poverty was due to laziness, then Xia Yu wouldn't say anything. After all, it was self-inflicted.

But Mona's situation is that she was really busy and worked hard, but because of today's bad luck, she became really miserable... I'd better help her within the scope of what I can do, and it just so happens that I There is still one vacant room in the residence...

"Mona, wait a moment." Xia Yu greeted her and stopped Mona who was about to leave. When the black-haired girl turned around, Xia Yu said, "I have a job here that you can find out about."

"A waiter in a small restaurant, including food and accommodation, earns a weekly salary of [-] molas, which is [-] molas per day. The food standard for three meals is the same as what we eat on weekdays." After listening to Xia Yu's job recruitment instructions Mona looked a little hesitant.

The job content of a waiter in a restaurant is not complicated, but she is an astrologer, and she has to end up working as a waiter in a restaurant... Mona felt like there was a big mark of tragedy printed on her face.

But to be honest, the job Xia Yu gave may be the most convenient and reliable way to make money these days. Six thousand molas seems like a small amount, but if it includes food and accommodation, it doesn't seem to be difficult. Totally unacceptable.

The most important thing is that at least working here with Xia Yu, I can understand Xia Yu's character on the way back with Xia Yu, so I don't have to worry too much about other issues.

I just don't know what Xia Yu's cooking skills are... I agree first, and at least get through this most difficult first week.Thinking of this, Mona nodded towards Xia Yu.

————————————————————————

At noon the next day, the street shop that rarely reopened was packed due to the excellent quality of its dishes in the past. The sharp-eyed customers discovered that in Xia Yu’s shop today, in addition to various small slimes that were the shop’s special mascots, There was another dark-haired girl with a pretty face, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Welcome! What do you guys want to order? Today's launch includes the rice barbecued pork set meal and bread with tomato and vegetable soup as well as the grilled barbecued pork set meal. For those who like spicy food, there is also a special spicy barbecue barbecue." Mona felt a little shy when introduced to the set meal.

This is how the same thing!Why...why was I forced to put on a maid outfit?

Yesterday afternoon, it seemed that the maid named Noelle who had always lived here returned to Xia Yu's mansion and saw herself who was about to work in Xia Yu's shop. After hearing about her situation, this amiable maid was extremely enthusiastic. Di first took himself to the location of the store for a visit.

Xia Yu's shop, which is located at the side entrance of Mondstadt, is quite close to the residence and can be reached in less than a hundred steps.The entire semi-open-air shop is not too big. It has a cooking table, a baking oven, and alchemy-processed storage boxes engraved with magic circles, plus seven or eight long tables and corresponding wooden benches. , this is what Xia Yu Restaurant is all about.

It's incomparable to those large restaurants in Liyue Port... I should be able to handle it easily at such a scale.Just when Mona breathed a sigh of relief, the maid lady who walked around without knowing where handed a maid outfit to her hand...

"Since I have chosen to work in Mr. Xia Yu's shop, at least the clothes and professionalism must match the cuisine made by Mr. Xia Yu." The feeling of oppression brought by the smiling maid Noelle was somehow made Mona thought of her master who was far away in a foreign country. Although she didn't have such strong murderous intent, the strong sense of oppression was no less than her master.

As a result, the poor astrologer was trained by Nonal for a whole afternoon until dinner time came...

"Miss Maid, bring me a rice set with barbecued pork and rice, and three pieces of spicy barbecue!"

"I want a set meal with bread. Is it possible to add sweet flower honey and sauce-flavored barbecued pork separately? If possible, I will add a separate portion of barbecued pork here."

"Okay, the total is [-] molara. The set meal for the two of you will be delivered immediately~"

After knowingly and quickly writing down the corresponding table number and corresponding food on the sticky note in her hand, Mona, who handed over the meal money from the customer, activated the Eye of God to summon the water element to clean the other table after the meal. , the cleaning work seemed to be an impromptu performance, which attracted the applause of several diners from the Solstice Kingdom.

If that dead old woman knew that she was using the Eye of God to control the power of elements, I'm afraid she would have given up a few years ago...

At this time, Mona no longer felt a little shy about putting on a maid uniform for the first time.If you want to ask why, first of all, Noelle, who is also greeting customers, is also wearing a maid uniform. In a sense, the maid uniform can be regarded as standard work clothing in this store. .

And if I really want to say it, this maid outfit with a knee-length skirt that is extremely well-covered is much more conservative than my usual clothes.

Furthermore, because of the treatment except Maura, Mona once again mentally praised her decision to agree to Xia Yu's employment conditions yesterday.

First, in the residence, I was assigned a separate guest room.With a size of nearly twenty square meters, after placing the commonly used furniture, there is still plenty of space to place your own research equipment.The second is the staff meal that Xia Yu mentioned. How can this be a staff meal?

Xia Yu's cooking skills are better than those cooked by any chef he has ever eaten. Although he has not been able to go to the Liuli Pavilion and Xinyue Xuan in Liyue Port that are so popular because of poverty, if he thinks about it, , the level of chefs at the two most expensive restaurants in Liyue Port, Li Cai and Yue Cai, is probably about the same as Xia Yu's...

The red and translucent Tianshu meat, the fragrant and refreshing fish and vegetable salad, paired with a small portion of mellow crab shell stew and crab meat and crab roe steamed eggs, these are foods that cost at least [-] molars in high-end restaurants in Liyue. It was jokingly called a 'staff meal' by Xia Yu...

Really, the salary is only [-] molas a day, but the total cost of food and accommodation is more than [-] molas a day!

ah!Don't be distracted, otherwise you won't have time to receive the guests.Mona, who was motivated, stabilized the ice slime that was placed on her shoulder, admiring the scenes, and then devoted herself to her work again.

"Huh!? Isn't this Mona?" A familiar female voice came to Mona's ears. She turned her head and looked around. The duo who had met once on the dock of Liyue Port appeared in Mona's field of vision. Inside.

"Welcome, what would you like to eat, Traveler and Paimon?" Mona, with a professional smile, greeted Ying and Paimon, who looked particularly tired for some reason, to the newly vacated table. "Today's set meal..." Mona seemed to have changed, making Ying's eyes widen.

This is how the same thing?I still vaguely remember meeting this astrologer lady on the pier of Liyue Port...yes, that was the day when Dadalia's brother Toke came to the port.

At that time, Mona, who was following Xia Yu without saying a word and coldly observing the entire scene of Dadalia's scandal, was called a cold and arrogant person. Therefore, she was a little wary and did not want to cause trouble, and she only had some eye contact with her. They simply exchanged names without much conversation.

But what happened to Mona who seemed to be a different person today?Did you hallucinate because you were too busy?Looking at Mona with the ice slime on her shoulder, she sent the order to Xia Yu. The blond girl gently patted Paimon who was following her.

"Paimon, pinch yourself and see if it hurts..."

"No, why do I have to pinch myself! If you want to know if it's a dream, why don't you just pinch yourself?"

"Ah...because it will hurt..."

Chapter 112: Brother, he must have done something while I was asleep!

"Thank you for your patronage, welcome to come again next time~"

After sending away the last customer at noon, Mona wiped the sweat from her forehead as she finally felt relieved.

I didn't expect there to be so many guests!In the hour and a half at noon, Xia Yu's small restaurant, which was not too big, actually sold nearly a hundred meal packages.When the guests in line couldn't find a seat, some even brought their dishes directly to the outdoor tables of the Angel's Gift Tavern next door, and the person who took the lead in doing so was Mr. Charles, the hotel's usual manager and bartender.

Well... I can also understand that there is mutual benefit and cooperation to make money. As long as you can earn Mora, there is no problem in doing so.Even now I have to go to the tavern to take back the tableware placed there...

Arriving at the door of Angel's Gift Tavern, she opened the door, and the rosy-faced middle-aged uncle Charles appeared in Mona's field of vision. It seemed that after enjoying lunch, the enthusiastic bartender seemed to be mixing drinks for herself. I had a small drink.

"Welcome...oh? She's Xia Yu's newly hired maid~" Charles looked particularly comfortable as he used a toothpick to shave off the food residue between his teeth. He pointed to the small wooden basket piled on the table beside him and continued: " All the tableware is in there, some are a little heavy, so Noelle used to collect the tableware, maid, do you need help?"

"Of course it's no problem. I have the Eyes of God." Mona looked proud as she showed off her Eyes of God.

Dozens of kilograms of tableware may be a little trouble for ordinary girls, but the additional effect of improving physical fitness brought by God's Eye made Mona feel that this effect came in handy.After holding the handles on both sides of the small wooden basket to test the weight, Mona still moved the small basket of tableware, although it was still a bit difficult.

Eye of God with water attribute?Charles looked at Mona who was carrying the wooden basket with a look of envy.Why don't I have this good luck?

Although Angel's Gift has become the most popular tavern in Mondstadt under the management of Mr. Diluc, it comes from the perfect supply source of the main wine of his own Dawn Winery, coupled with Mr. Diluc's strong business network , the various alcoholic drinks collected from various countries are the strongest foundation of Angel’s Gift Bar.

Under the impact of this powerful chariot, the Cat Tail Tavern near Fountain Square was once squeezed to the edge of bankruptcy and needed to transform. At this time, a magical little bartender appeared in the Tail Tavern. With the help of his cheating talent of being able to make good wine no matter what raw materials were used, the Cat Tail Tavern was brought back to life...

Afterwards, after an investigation by the intelligence network, the identity of the young bartender named Diona was actually the daughter of the hunter leader from Qingquan Town near Mondstadt.In terms of status, it is impossible for her to have any opportunity to come into contact with various theoretical knowledge of bartending since she has learned hunting experience since she was a child.

As a result, the people at Angel's Gift couldn't find any reason why this little cat girl was able to make the wine so delicious, and in the end they had no choice but to attribute the reason to the ice-attributed Eye of God.

Now that the shop has reopened, Xia Yu has actually recruited a little maid with the water attribute god's eye as a helper. Isn't this a huge waste?This is the eye of God with the water attribute!It doesn’t take any thought to know how well it fits in with bartending!Should we try poaching people, or ask this little maid if she would like to work part-time in the bar?

"Sister Maid, what's the salary Xia Yu offered you?" He tried to start with the salary first, and learned from the failed experience of Eze, the manager of Chenxi Winery, and pretended to be careless when Mona asked Charles. Look, but found that what she got in exchange was Mona's slightly contemptuous eyes.

"There's no need to think about poaching, Mr. Charles. For now, I'm quite satisfied with my current job." Mona answered directly, which surprised Charles. He hadn't said anything yet, so why was he so attracted by this little maid? Did you guess it?

"I am an astrologer. Mr. Charles, what you just said obviously implies other meanings, so you can get such a result through a little inference from astrology."

Mona, who put away the water divination circle, looked at Charles who was in a sluggish state, and then continued: "Besides, most of the bar's working hours are from evening to midnight, which is in line with my astrology research. It conflicts with the best time. So no matter how high the salary you can give Mr. Charles, when the work conflicts with the main business, I can only give up the job."

"This... okay..." Charles, who had a bad start, sighed.

The talent recruitment plan of Morningside Winery and Angel’s Gift Tavern failed miserably!

Carrying the small wooden basket, she walked out of the Angel's Gift Bar. She stood on the steps and looked down at Xia Yu and Noelle, who were cleaning up the shop. Mona was startled by the sight that came into her eyes.

Can slime still be used like this?

After the tableware was taken away, above the dining table, the wind floating in mid-air was controlling the wind element to gather paper scraps, peels and other residues together. After carefully scanning around and finding that nothing was missing, the little guy summoned a whirlwind and accurately He rolled the garbage into the trash can nearby, and then flew it back to Xia Yu's shoulders with great satisfaction.

Next to the large wooden basin placed on the workbench, balls of sky-blue water are working together with balls of fire to roll the scalding hot water and wash away the greasy tableware. The cleanly washed tableware is covered with grass slime. He controlled the vine to roll up and put it into Xia Yu's hand, and then Xia Yu put it into the tableware storage rack.

With the help of the slimes, the work of cleaning up the shop soon came to an end.Mona, who was working with Warcraft for the first time, couldn't help but take a few more glances at these chubby little guys.Xia Yu, who had finished cleaning up at noon, opened the small freezer with ice balls on the side to help maintain a constant temperature, and then distributed gels of the same shape as yesterday to these excited little guys one by one.

"Slime, it's really convenient..." She had never imagined that slime would bring so much convenience. Mona, who felt that it was an eye-opener, couldn't help but start to think about it. Now she also has one. An ice-attributed slime, there is a frozen tree in the larval stage in Xia Yu's courtyard that constantly exudes ice-attributed elemental energy. The little guy he raised has no pressure at all in terms of survival.

So... what use does this little guy have in astrology?Perhaps influenced by the sight of the slime helping with the cleaning work, Mona's thinking began to become more flexible.However, after thinking for a long time, the girl tragically discovered that she really couldn't think of any practical application.

Astrology is an extremely mysterious and complex knowledge. It seems that the ice cubes I raise can only make me feel cooler and refresh myself when I stay in the room on hot summer days.Practical application in astrology is not very practical.

But this is enough!No need to be afraid of the scorching heat in summer anymore, hehehe~!In the confused eyes of Xia Yu and Noelle, as well as Ying and Paimon who were left chatting, Mona, who had finished her work, ran out of the side entrance of Mondstadt City with a smile on her face. In terms of direction, it should be where the small courtyard is. s position.

This...don't go so fast.Xia Yu, who originally planned to hand over the frozen milk ice cream to Mona, seemed a little helpless. After passing a piece of ice cream to Noelle, Ying and Paimon, they sat on a bench near the shop and started. chat.

"Hey hehe~ As expected, the food you cooked is delicious, Xia Yu..." If you want to ask who is the most comfortable now, it is none other than Ying who rushed back to Mondstadt City through the teleportation anchor point from afar, and Xia Yu's small restaurant again The opening means that after wandering around Teyvat every day, you can also go back to Mondstadt for a delicious meal. There is nothing better than this.

The blond girl with a happy expression slowly tasting the ice cream made Xia Yu smile.You must know that although she has heard that she can use teleportation anchors to travel between places, the teleportation anchors are restricted by geographical location after all.  Jealous eyes gap ā�

"Speaking of which, Ying, have you found any clues related to your brother in Liyue?" Noel on the side showed a curious look on his face, and asked the blond girl. Noel seemed to be observing Ying's little movements Somewhat surprised.

This...what's going on?When talking about her brother on weekdays, no matter what the previous situation was, Ying's expression would always become particularly serious.

But something is different today. Even though I asked this question out of curiosity, the blonde girl still had a nonchalant look on her face. Could it be that she has found it?No... Noelle, who was making a guess, immediately rejected his idea.

If it was really found, then there should be one more person here now. Besides, Ying's face didn't show any emotion related to happiness. What happened?

"It's... stop talking. The trip to Liyue is still the same, without any gains." Compared with the same beginning, the girl's mentality has also changed slightly.

Judging from the mysterious connection between the twins, his brother should still be alive. He has almost visited every corner of Mondstadt and Liyue in the Teyvat continent, except for monsters, Qiuqiu people, and people from the Winter Kingdom. Apart from the Fools, the Treasure Thieves Group and the Abyss Cult, I didn't find any clues related to my brother.

Mondstadt and Liyue have already traveled to two relatively prosperous countries in Teyvat, and they also have official members of these two countries to help them issue missing persons notices. It stands to reason that if his brother is still in Teyvat If you wander around the mainland, no matter how bad your luck is, there should be a high probability of seeing these missing person notices.

In other words, in addition to the possibility that both myself and my brother are looking for each other, there is a great probability that another situation will arise, that is, I am looking for my brother, but my brother is missing because of some ulterior reasons. The secret is hiding from me...

Ying, who was thinking carefully, thought more and more that this was possible.

When he was awakened by his brother, he had an expression of suppressed panic. Although he was not aware of it at the time, looking back now, there were indeed some clues in it.

Otherwise, why did others find the maintainers of heavenly principles instead of looking for him and his brother?There is also the ambiguous attitude of the maintainer of heavenly principles. If there is really a mortal enemy between her and the two of them, why can the two of them, who have obviously been defeated by her, survive?And you still want to detain the two of you in the world of Teyvat?

This is obviously because she doesn't want her and her brother to leave the world she governs... Could it be that while she was still sleeping, her brother did some unexplainable things to the keeper of heavenly principles, so in After the incident was revealed, he would forcefully wake him up and run away with him?

The more divergent her thoughts were, the more weird ideas she felt were constantly pouring out of her brain. She quickly shook her head and threw all these complicated thoughts out of her mind. After tasting the ice cream, the blond girl looked at Xia Yu. full of expectations.

"Xia Yu, after the monsters raised in your courtyard now and the ruin hunters added to it, it should start to become a bit crowded, right?" Xia Yu asked Xia Yu mysteriously, which made Xia Yu feel a little confused, but he still nodded extremely seriously. .

Just like Ying's guess, Xia Yu is indeed troubled by the housing problem now.

The first is the residence. Due to the arrival of the Dragon King Rudo and the addition of Mona, all the empty rooms in the residence have been used up. Although the full residence is full of fireworks compared to the beginning, but occasionally I want to use the empty rooms. The practice of stacking things is no longer an option.

Secondly, there are some minor problems that arise with the growth of the frozen tree. Although the spiritual communication with the frozen tree now already knows the choice of this small sapling for its future evolutionary direction, no matter how much it is restrained, there are still It is impossible for a frozen tree seedling whose mother supplies extremely pure ice elements to eat a fat man in one bite.

This resulted in the fact that although the diffusion range of the ice elemental cold air controlled by the frozen tree seedlings did not change much, the quality of the ice elemental cold air was greatly improved.The slight spread of cold air has slightly affected the fire balls that need the flame flower to supply the fire element.

"Yes, the house and garden are starting to be a little insufficient now, so I plan to report to the Knights of the West Wind to expand the courtyard and house." After telling Ying this situation, Xia Yu discovered that the other party There seemed to be a bit of joy in his words.

"That's great!" Looking at the blond girl who covered Paimeng's mouth as she wanted to say something, Xia Yu felt for some reason that there was more than just that.

"Don't apply to the Knights of the West Wind yet. I will give you a big surprise after a week!"

Chapter 113: Morning of the Knights, Qin’s Nightmare

The sun rises in the east, and the work of the Knights of the West Wind begins again. Qin, who is sitting in the leader's office, starts a new day of work.

Looking at the thick documents and reports sent by the Knights Patrol Team, Scout Knight Amber and the residents of Mondstadt, Qin, who felt a little dizzy, patted her cheek.However, for Mondstadt's stability, these are all tasks that he must complete.Protect Mondstadt forever, this is the eternal principle of the Gunnhild family.

Fortunately, since Tevalin, the Dragon of the East Wind, has been purified, the more troublesome incidents in Mondstadt have suddenly been reduced a lot. Most of the remaining troubles are that the caravan was attacked by the Qiuqiu people, or the treasure was stolen. The regiment has established a stronghold in a certain location and needs to destroy such things.

After sitting down at the desk and confirming that there were no documents in the emergency area, Qin's eyes first turned to the part entrusted by the residents of Mondstadt.

Most of the residents' entrustments can be handed over to the Adventurers Association for assistance. With her rich experience in handling affairs, Qin quickly selected these entrustments.

The cat of Margaret’s family, owner of the Cat Tail Tavern, escaped again. There are always sneaky figures wandering near the West Wind Church. On Mondstadt’s way to Liyue, an attacking caravan appeared southwest of Qingquan Town. The Qiuqiu people... Qin, who quickly divided the town residents' entrustment into two piles, breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, nothing too troublesome.

Issues such as finding cats and taking care of the environment can be directly handed over to the Adventurer's Guild for execution. Issues of security in Mondstadt must be handled by the Knights of the West Wind.After completing the commissioned part, Qin turned her attention to the patrol knight and the domestic investigation report brought back by Amber.
