Chapter 15: Greed

"Thank you for your help, but Noelle is confident that things will be resolved soon."

Su Mu pressed the fruit cloth on the lid of the fruit stand with both hands, and shook his head to stop the enthusiastic Quinn.

With an ordinary person, the speed will undoubtedly be much slower, and one more minute of wasted time will be one more minute of variables.

The news just now, combined with Su Mu's vague memory of Genshin Impact, was sixty percent sure that Anthony was still on the nearby mountain and hadn't gone far.

I was going to go to Noelle to act together after getting the news, but I didn't expect that the other party had already received more certain news from other channels to meet him.

"I just got the news that Anthony was seen surrounded by a grass slime, just on the opposite hill, but they couldn't muster manpower, and we needed to go over and rescue Anthony."

Noelle hurried up to Sumu and told him that Anthony was in a dangerous situation with the news that the Knights of Favonius had gotten.

"What's wrong?"

Su Mu didn't ask about Anthony, but about rescuing Anthony with the strength of the Knights of Favonius.

But they only sent the news back and did not save them, proving that there was something more important that held them back, so that they did not even have time to do this little thing.

Su Mu followed Noelle out of Mondstadt and headed straight for the Starcliff Mountain.

"I heard that the arsonist of the Black Fire case was caught, and Captain Kaeya and most of the Knights of Favonius went over to imprison the arsonist to prevent the other party from escaping again."

Noelle doesn't have the permission to participate in this kind of thing, so he can only say the news revealed by some members of the Knights of Favonius chatting.

According to Su Mu's understanding, the arsonist who was arrested should be Lu Guoba, and legend has it that the god of the stove Guoba was divided into thousands of people to make fires for the people who returned to the original place.

After his death, most of the pots went underground to calm down the chaotic leylines in order to protect the people.

A pot made its way to Mondstadt along the leylines and settled at Dawn Winery, where it became the current Lu Potpa, guarding the people of Mondstadt in the dark night. (Big Mistake)

"There's someone over there surrounded by slimes!"

As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, Noelle pointed to the halfway point of the mountain.

Su Mu tried to open his eyes wide, but he didn't see anything. I feel that there is a big gap between my strength and Noelle.

"I'll go save people first."

With a strong sense of justice, Noelle wore a heavy maid armor and rushed over Sumu to the mountainside, and soon turned into a small dot.

Su Mu followed with all his might, and his tired panting couldn't shorten the distance of Noelle.

After a moment of steading his breath, a group of people descended from another mountain path, dressed in a style that did not match Mondstadt.

Among these people was an old man in desert clothes, with blood stains between his clothes, and it seemed that he had suffered a lot of injuries, and at this moment he was in a semi-coma due to excessive bleeding.

Su Mu's eyes lit up, the demon god residue in the other party's body was no longer able to control it, and the two people holding him were in pain at the moment, as if they were being eroded by the power of the demon god that had escaped.

"Do you need help, just a little Mora, I'm under the command of the Knights of Favonius, the price is fair and the quality is guaranteed!"

Seeing the remnants of the demon god that he didn't know if he missed the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue could only encounter it again, Su Mu couldn't help but rush forward, pretending to be a young man begging for a living, and saw that the injured old man wanted to help transport him to Mondstadt.

The guards guarding the old man looked at each other with some hesitation, exchanged glances with each other, some agreed and some were unwilling to make extraneous branches.

The two people holding the old man were reluctant, and put the old man on the guard next to him, the latter was afraid that the old man would make a mistake, so he reluctantly took it, and was suddenly invaded by the power of the demon god and his face became painful.

"Ahh I'm sorry~ I remembered that I had something else to do......"

Su Mu was "keen" to find that the old man was a little strange, and he wanted to escape from here in a panic, but was blocked by other guards.

"Since I am waiting for the way of others, I have to take this business even if I don't take it! As long as you do well, tipping is indispensable! ”

All the guards couldn't stand the uncontrollable and random energy of the demon god residue on the old man's body, and seeing that the old man didn't wake up like this, they finally reached an opinion.

"Give Mora first, I'm going to... 300… 3000 Mora! Only responsible for delivering to the city gate! ”

Su Mu pretended to be short of money, gritted his teeth and stretched out three fingers, bargaining. This place is not far from Mondstadt, and these guards have been over-eroded by the old man's escaping energy along the way, and their faces are not very good, and with his current strength, they can still be solved by kites.

"It's 5,000 Mora!"

A guard smiled and threw over a heavy bag of Mora, Su Mu took it with bright eyes, counted it and put it into his storage bag.

"Don't worry, everyone, take people's money to do things for others, let's leave quickly, otherwise this old man's injuries are too serious and it will not be good to delay treatment."

The guards looked at him with pity and put the old man on his back. Su Mu suddenly pretended to cry out in pain, and his steps were also staggering, and he almost fell to the ground in a hurry.

The guard, who had already predicted, dragged Su Mu's two arms and held Su Mu steadily.

"Take the money and do the errands, go quickly!"

Based on the guards' understanding of the power of the Demon God's dregs, this kid basically had to lose more than half of his life when he walked to the gate of Mondstadt, and they earned 5,000 Mora for a life.

Su Mu carried the old man on his back, and the guards supported Su Mu, and the group walked strangely towards the gate of Mondstadt.

Walking to the bridge, Su Mu seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, and sat down with a weak body.

Seeing this, the guards took the old man and threw Su Mu to the side of the road and ignored him.

Seeing everyone go away, Su Mu's drooping head suddenly rose, and he got up and ran towards the Star Picking Cliff.

"With Barbatos, the god of wind, above, your believers are saved. If it weren't for Noelle, you came so quickly, I'm afraid I would have been here today,"

Anthony said with a sigh of relief.

"It's not my credit this time, it's Su Mu who found out about your disappearance, and then entrusted me to look for you, if you want to thank him, thank him!"

Noelle waved his hand and said, pointing to Su Mu, who was panting in the distance.

"It's the commission he issued."

Su Mu was very happy at the moment, the energy of the demon god residue on the old man's body was thicker than that of the previous two people, this time he picked up a big bargain, just running up the mountain, he provided him with 1 point of physical strength.

"May Barbatos bless you, thank you for issuing a commission to save me, it's just that I don't have the extra money to repay you for saving my life right now."

Anthony looked at Su Mu and said with some embarrassment, he had spent all his savings in order to treat his sister.

"This doesn't matter, I'm now the deputy of the alchemist Timaius, and he said that you commissioned him to synthesize slime condensate, but he couldn't find you after the agreed deadline, so let me visit you. That's when I learned from your sister that you were missing.

I care more about whether the alchemy commission can continue than the matter of saving you, after all, this is related to the assessment of the success rate of my mission! ”
