Chapter 447 Elemental Bait, There is a Mine at Home

Mona was devastated and decided to leave the task of finding the item to her apprentice.

"Ying, this is the first task that Master gave you."

The reputation of both the master and the disciple, and whether they can share the reward, all depend on you.

Mona encouraged Ying with her eyes, and everything was said without words.

Ying hasn't figured out a solution yet, but Paimon once again becomes his best friend.

"Since it was swallowed by the slime, we can use 'element bait' to lure all the slimes nearby."

"Elemental bait?" Ying thought about it. It seemed that one day when Jiang Yi was in seclusion in Mondstadt, she and Paimon heard an "urban legend" and went to inquire about the identity of the "Dark Night Hero" revered by everyone in Mondstadt.

Then, Master Diluk was found fighting with the Abyss Mage at the side door of Mondstadt.

The Abyss Order has issued a declaration of war to the "Dark Night Hero" whose real identity is Diluk. They want to gather all the forces that hate the "Dark Night Hero" to raid Mondstadt from the main gate at night. The Knights Templar are monitoring the "Dark Night Hero", and Diluk, who hates the Knights Templar, does not want to reveal his identity.

She and Paimon went to the Dawn Winery to get the "elemental bait" that was very attractive to slimes. They placed it at the side door that day, attracting a large number of slimes and luring away the Knight of Favonius at the main door.

This allowed Diluk to eliminate a large group of Hilichurls at the main gate without revealing his identity, thus maintaining the peace of Mondstadt.

"Wasn't it used up at that time?" Ying looked at Paimeng in confusion after recalling the past.

"Hehe! I secretly hid a little when I was helping the 'Justice Man'." Paimon reached her little hand into her shoe and took out her treasure from the sole.

"The Righteous One" is the nickname she gave Diluk.

"Just a little bit can have a strong effect. The slime that relies on absorbing elemental power to survive is completely unable to resist the temptation of 'elemental bait'." Paimon wiped his saliva.

"This elemental breath blowing in my face?" Mona looked at the substance in Paimon's hand.

"Specially purified ice mist flower." As an alchemist, Jiang Yi knew the essence of this thing without the reminder of his pre-time travel memories.

"Hmm! Perhaps you can refer to it and purify the flaming flowers, cleanse the lapis lazuli debris, stone amber and other elemental items as food for the fire spirit Yingda, the water spirit Fa Nan, the rock spirit Mi Nu, and the stone statue clay doll."

"If you keep having three meals a day, you will grow faster!"

Ying looked at Paimon and really wanted to pick up her shoes and turn them over to see what else was hidden.

"As expected of you!"

Paimon accepted the compliment proudly: "As a partner, I'm pretty reliable!"

"Could it be that you're feeling greedy?" Ying frowned.

"Don't worry about the details!" Paimon waved her hands. How could she admit that she wanted to lure the slimes and then catch them and eat them?

It’s just that his own combat power is too weak and he has not been able to put it into action.

The elemental bait must attract multiple slimes, and she can only fight the weakest water element slime. The other slimes are higher than her in the food chain.

"Okay, then let's put the 'elemental bait' in that direction!" Jiang Yi pointed to the direction given by divination. It was possible to go there directly, but it was unnecessary. It was a good opportunity to see the effect of the elemental bait brought by Paimon and give the girls some participation.

Gathering all the slimes nearby and dealing with them is also a good deed, greatly improving the safety of the surrounding area.

The effect of the elemental bait was indeed good. It quickly attracted a lot of slimes and they were all caught in one fell swoop.

Mona looked at the slime with the ring. The direction it came from was indeed the direction predicted by Jiang Yi.

"Go back and report!" Jiang Yi's true energy rushed out, and the sticky ring became clean.

"Thank you so much, this is it, this is it. I thought I would never see it again." Boss Zhu happily took the ring and gave it as a reward.

"Boss Zhu, you have to take good care of this precious thing. You may not be so lucky next time." Mona warned.

"That's right, if I lost the 253rd ring my mother gave me, I wouldn't know how to explain it to my mother when I got home." Boss Zhu held his forehead with his hand, looking regretful.

“……”Mona.

“…”Paimon.

"……"fluorescent.

The three of them were dumbfounded, wondering if they had heard it wrongly.

Jiang Yi held the Mora bag and smiled.

This is the Versailles life that ordinary people envy.

"Oh!" Boss Zhu looked at the three girls, "Maybe there is a small misunderstanding. My family has three jade mines. In order to help me find a good wife, my mother prepared a lot of jade jewelry as heirlooms."

"There are probably more than 500 pieces in total."

Jiang Yi stroked his chin and said, "In Liyue, marriage is about matching up. From a common sense perspective, considering Boss Zhu's family background, five hundred pieces is not a lot."

Ying and Paimeng silently looked at Jiang Yi.

This guy has become richer and richer since he no longer has to pay Zhongli. Is he getting cocky now?

Mona covered her chest again. Damn it, is this the disparity of the world?

"Boss Zhu, why do you still want to open an inn here?" She asked the last question. The other party was so rich, he could just lie down and relax, so why did he come here to open an inn that didn't make money?

"Inheriting the family business too early is bound to be a bit boring and monotonous." Boss Zhu's words hit Mona in the heart again.

Meanwhile, coo coo coo——

An untimely sound was heard.

"Hmm..." Mona's ears turned red and she lowered her head.

"It seemed like there was a particularly loud sound." Paimon really brought up something that was out of the ordinary.

An awkward atmosphere spread across the scene.

"Oh! Mona, you haven't eaten for a few days! Because you haven't..." Boss Zhu was interrupted by Mona before he could finish his words.

“Uooaaaaaaaah! Shut up! Shut up! That’s not happening! Don’t worry about it!” Mona didn’t want anyone to tell her that she was a great astrologer, but was so poor that she had no money to eat and could only eat mushrooms in the wild that she didn’t know if they were poisonous or not.

"I'm here to say goodbye, Boss Zhu. I'm going to Mondstadt. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

She quickly explained her purpose, glanced at the big sunset fruit on the table in the inn, closed her eyes, hardened her heart, and when she opened her eyes again, she left the inn with firm steps.

Paimeng spread his hands: "It turns out that she is a girl in need of help. Jiang Yi is right."

"Let's catch up!" Ying held back her laughter.

No wonder the other party was so excited when he heard the reward. As an astrologer, his life is so miserable.

Jiang Yi took out 50,000 Mora and gave them to Ying and Paimon, then caught up with Mona, "Here you go!"

"So much?" Mona found that there were 50,000 Mora in the Mora bag and felt that she was not worthy of it. She seemed to have done nothing.

"You are the cause of bringing us to see Boss Zhu, and this Mora is the result." Jiang Yi talked about a very profound truth.

According to his memories before the time travel, he remembered that Mona's first combat skill was to reveal the cause and effect, and the subsequent elemental combat skills and elemental explosions were even more mysterious, involving the fate of astrology.

He was still very greedy about the power and application of cause and effect and destiny. In order to get more advice in the future so that he could learn by analogy and improve his fortune-telling skills, he naturally tried to improve his favorability in advance.

"I have some spicy meat steamed buns that I didn't finish this morning. I'm a little hungry now. Let's eat together!" Jiang Yi conjured up a big bag of steaming spicy meat steamed buns in front of Mona like a magician.

Mona covered her stomach which started to rumble again, pursed her lips, and showed her reserve.

"Thank you! You're welcome!"

"I'll treat you to lunch when we get to Wangshu Inn."
