After getting up in the morning, Jun Luoyu and Xiang Ling had something to eat and then set off again. When they left Wangshu Inn, they had a small dispute over the room fee. Jun Luoyu used Master Mao's edict to "listen to Jun Luoyu outside" and successfully obtained it.
Victory, winning the right to pay for room and food.
The two continued to move towards Mondstadt, but today's journey was slower than yesterday because Xiangling found a school of fish in the water on the roadside halfway, her eyes were shining and she was determined to catch two for grilled fish. Jun Luoyu was pretending to be a wave, and took out the control key and turned it into a bow. After missing more than a dozen arrows in a row, he became angry and put his hand into the water and started to discharge electricity.
"mmp, hide! Let me see if you hide again!!!"
Xiangling suppressed her laughter and took the three fishes that Jun Luoyu had produced.
"Okay, okay, aren't you just missing fourteen arrows? You don't usually play with bows. This is normal. Let's light a fire and eat grilled fish later."
Jun Luoyu angrily handed the fish to Xiangling, gathered a pile of dry wood and lit a fire.
After lighting the fire, Jun Luoyu took out a cigarette, lit it by the fire, and asked while smoking:
"Not far ahead is the Stone Gate. After passing the Stone Gate, you will enter Mondstadt. Tell me, where do you want to collect ingredients?"
Xiangling scraped the scales and removed the internal organs in one go, and came over with the fish skewered on branches.
"Well... Qingquan Town. The wild boar in Qingquan Town is famous for its good quality. And I heard that there is a chef there who is very skilled. I want to learn from her."
"Qingquan Town, we definitely won't be able to get there today. Even if we drive at full speed today, we will only get to Chenxi Winery at most. If we drive at night, we can get there at almost midnight."
Xiangling grilled the fish and handed one to Jun Luoyu.
"It's okay, don't worry."
After the two finished eating the fish, they put out the fire and prepared to pass through the Shimen area.
"Hey, Jun Luoyu, look, there seem to be a lot of people staying on that plank road. Is there an inn in Shimen too?"
Xiangling asked Jun Luoyu, pointing to the large crowd gathered at the big bowl tea stall.
"No, there is only one teahouse on Shimen Plank Road, and it is run by an old man."
Jun Luoyu explained.
Ke Xiangling was even more confused.
"Teahouse? Isn't this the border line of Mondstadt Liyue? What teahouse is so attractive and can gather so many people?"
"Why are you so curious, little girl? Originally, we had to take the plank road to Mondstadt. Let's go and have a look."
Jun Luoyu knocked Xiang Ling on the head and walked onto the plank road. Xiang Ling covered her head and followed angrily.
When he arrived at the tea stall, Jun Luoyu found that not only were there a lot of people, but there were also a lot of goods stalled here. He probably guessed the reason, but he couldn't tell Xiang Ling directly, he had to find someone to ask.
"Boss, here are two big bowls of tea."
Jun Luoyu and Xiang Ling found a random place to sit down and ordered two bowls of tea.
After a while, Old Uncle Zhou came over with a bowl and teapot and poured tea for the two of them.
Seeing that the NPC was already in place, Jun Luoyu started asking questions according to the procedure.
"Hey boss, why are there so many businessmen here at Shimen today? Did something happen in front?"
Old Uncle Zhou nodded and said:
"Yes, I heard that Mondstadt has been uneasy recently. The monsters have suddenly become very manic and extremely aggressive. The merchants staying here now do not have enough guards."
Upon hearing this, Jun Luoyu confirmed that he had guessed correctly. Now the Wind Demon Dragon had been initially contaminated by the abyss, but because Wendy could temporarily calm him down, it was just that the wild monsters were more violent.
Xiangling took a sip of tea and asked curiously:
"Didn't Mondstadt officials send someone to clean it up?"
Old Uncle Zhou shook his head,
"No, I heard from those businessmen that Mondstadt is currently short of manpower. Almost all the Knights of the West Wind have been mobilized, but there are too many monsters to take care of the stone gate. Old man, I still have to deliver water to other tables, so first
I won’t chat with you anymore.”
"Uncle, please walk slowly."
After Xiangling finished speaking, she turned back to look at Jun Luoyu:
"Jun Luoyu, why don't we go back first? I heard from my old man that Mondstadt seems to be in danger now. It may not be a good place to search for ingredients."
Jun Luoyu didn't panic at all. Not to mention that Tevalin's strength has been greatly reduced due to the infection of the abyss, and that he was able to hang it up and smoke it after artificial collapse. Let's just say that it is still in the early stage of the dragon disaster, and there is no other threat except monsters.
.
But dictatorship is bad, and the opinions of the people must be respected, so Jun Luoyu asked Xiang Ling:
"I don't care. Anyway, I will have no problem protecting you. Do you want to see you? If not, we will go back now. If we go, we should leave after drinking tea."
Xiangling held her head and thought for a while before making a choice:
"Then go. Anyway, you said you could protect me, so what should I be afraid of?"
After hearing Xiang Ling's decision, Jun Luoyu drank all the tea in the bowl and stood up to pay the bill.
"Okay, you go to the exit and wait for me. After I pay the bill, we'll set off."
"Okay~"
After Jun Luoyu finished paying the bill, he saw a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman saying something to Xiang Ling. Xiang Ling seemed to be embarrassed, with a tangled expression on his face. Jun Luoyu hurriedly stepped forward to ask about the situation.
"Xiang Ling, what's going on? Sir, why are you looking for my companion?"
Jun Luoyu asked, and the left hand behind his back began to gradually condense thunder and lightning.
"Yeah, he's here. That's just right. Uncle Li, please talk to him."
When Xiangling saw Jun Luoyu rushing over, she immediately threw the pot away, showing an expression like a good baby.
The man dressed as a businessman turned to Jun Luoyu, stretched out his hand to shake Jun Luoyu's hand politely, and said:
"Hello, I am a businessman from Mondstadt, my surname is Li. I was discussing with this lady just now whether we can let her escort us temporarily for a period of time. Since this lady said you make the decision, what do you think?"
Jun Luoyu habitually took out a cigarette, lit it and did not smoke it. Instead, he held it in his hand and continued to ask:
"Of course I can make the decision, but I still have to explain the specific situation to you before I can make a judgment, right?"
From the way Li Yanjun Luo Yu spoke and the way he acted, he knew that this young man was different from that little girl. He was an old man.
But Li Yan didn't have any ill intentions, so he seemed very magnanimous.
"You are right. You must have heard just now that the territory of Mondstadt is not peaceful now. The monsters have suddenly become very aggressive. My caravan has not hired many guards, and all the guards currently have no gods.
Ordinary people with the Eye of God, it is difficult for us to reach Mondstadt safely with our current strength. I saw the little girl with the Eye of God hanging around her waist, so I wanted to ask her to escort our caravan as an escort. Naturally, the price is good.
Discuss."
After Jun Luoyu listened, he frowned and kept thinking.
It is definitely impossible to accept this kind of commission casually when you are away from home. On the one hand, you don’t know the other person’s character, and on the other hand, it’s because he is lazy...
Seeing that Jun Luoyu had not agreed, Li Yan quickly added:
"There is no need for you to escort us to Mondstadt. You two only need to escort us to Dawn Winery. We businessmen have more or less interacted with the boss there, Mr. Diluc, and Morningside Winery
The monsters around the village, the Knights of the West Wind, have been cleared away. You two can go about your business by then. What do you think?"
"In this case, we are on the way anyway, and one or two escorts are required. As for the reward, if you don't encounter any monsters at Chenxi Winery, then there is no need. If you do, the reward for this escort will be one thousand moles.
Pull it."
Jun Luoyu listened to Li Yan's request and agreed. Anyway, Shimen is not far from Chenxi Winery. If the journey goes smoothly, it will take half a day. It is normal to hire an Eye of God owner to escort you once. This distance is a thousand molas.
Price.
"Ding~ The built-in tasks have been synchronized, you can get 20 crystals after completing them."
Seeing that Jun Luoyu had accepted the request, Li Yan excitedly began to gather people to prepare to enter Mondstadt.
The caravan is not large in size. Counting Li Yan, there are a total of twenty people and four carriages, five of whom are invited guards. This configuration is indeed difficult to ensure safety if encountering those manic monsters.
Li Yan's caravan began to pack up. Jun Luoyu finally put the half-burned cigarette in his hand into his mouth. He took a puff and said to Xiang Ling:
"Girl, be careful when you go out. If you encounter such an unknown situation, refuse it immediately. Because you don't know the identity and details of the other party, and it has not been recorded by the Adventurers Association, it is easy to not get paid." p>
Xiangling curled her lips and expressed her dissatisfaction with Jun Luoyu's popular science class:
"I also look for ingredients in the wild by myself all year round, okay! I must be wary of this! And isn't it you? And you taught me to refuse, why did you agree?"
Jun Luoyu smiled and said:
"I definitely wouldn't answer it before the change, but it's different now. Didn't I tell you? With my current strength, if he goes back on his word, I'll beat him up. You're a little girl, and you didn't bring out the rice cake.
Safety must be important. Besides, I don’t have the eyes of God, so people like this won’t look for me.”
After saying that, Jun Luoyu threw away the cigarette butt, patted Xiang Ling's head, and walked towards Li Yan's caravan.
Xiangling waved her fist and followed.
The moment the two of them followed Li Yan's caravan and officially entered the territory of Mondstadt, Wendy, who was comforting Tevalin in the Wind Dragon ruins, suddenly raised her head and looked in this direction.
"The immortals from Liyue have entered Mondstadt? No, this is not the aura of those old friends, but the strange demon god who suddenly appeared and disappeared some time ago. But since Mr. Morax didn't do anything to him, he should
Not an enemy. Well, give the Dandelion Knight a dream and ask her to send someone to contact him. It would be better if he could be a foreign aid. Mondstadt is very uneasy now."
