Chapter 25: The Treasure

Sasuke led Paimon to the windmill that was guided by the clue, gathered Chakra at his feet, and quickly climbed onto the windmill to find the "treasure chest".

The so-called treasure chest is a broken wooden box that opens to reveal a picture.

“……”

Sasuke was a little speechless, then Kaeya still has a sense of ritual, and solves puzzles in a row.

Paimon looked at the picture.

This time the picture is a map, with a faint view of Mondstadt at the top left of the map, and a circle of red hearts in the center of the map, and three red arrows pointing to the center of the circle.

To the right of the red circle is a grayish-blue patch, which is supposed to refer to the sea.

It looks like it's quite far from Mondstadt.

"Huh? This time it's supposed to be a treasure map. ”

"This treasure picture is really scribbled...... It really looks like it was done by pirates. ”

"So are we going to Kaeya now or just going to the Treasure Grounds, Sasuke?"

Sasuke put away the picture.

"Look for Kaeya, I'm only familiar with the neighborhood of Mondstadt, and I can't tell where the map is."

"Hmm...... That's fine, but then we won't be able to take the treasure to ourselves......"

Paimon has some regrets.

What is there to keep up with something that doesn't exist in itself? Sasuke didn't care at all, he just wanted to see if that Arcadia ruin had something like the Wind God Pupil, and he didn't care about anything else.

The two found Kaeya near the Order and gave him the so-called 'treasure map'.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to actually find the treasure map and give it to me, I thought you would go treasure hunting yourself."

Kaeya took the treasure map in some surprise.

"After all, this is an Excalibur."

"I ...... We're not that kind of people. ”

Paimon crossed her hands, hugged the wall in front of her chest, and said with a disdainful expression, but the slight dodge in her eyes made her look a little weak.

Naturally, Sasuke wouldn't expose Paimon, and he asked Kaeya:

Where does this circle refer to? I'm not familiar with the distance from Mondstadt. ”

"It's Eagle Beach."

Kaeya replied.

"Let's go, I'll take you there, you have done a lot of work, and the treasure will definitely not be missing your share."

At this moment, the voice in Sasuke's heart that had not appeared for a long time reappeared.

"With Kaeya's approval, you can inject Starlight to gain the other party's abilities."

"Whether to convert the ownerless starlight."

This was a bit of a surprise.

But this time it seems to be different from the last time.,Last time it was to get Amber's approval.,Later, you need to continue to gain favorability to summon the other party to Konoha.,But this time it's directly injected with starlight to get the ability.。

Kaeya is such a slick guy, and he suddenly agrees with himself at this time.

Is it because you didn't choose to monopolize the treasure?

Or is it something else......

Sasuke didn't dwell on this, there was something he was looking forward to even more at the moment.

Infused with starlight.

"Lack of starlight."

Isn't one Starlight redeemed before enough?

That's straight to the top.

Since Starlight helped him gain power, the more the better, and Sasuke directly switched without a brain, until the voice indicated that the money was already insufficient, and he stopped.

At the same time, in the Uchiha ancestral house of the ninja world, Sasuke's small vault has completely disappeared, but there are a bunch of shining badges.

That should be enough.

Infused with starlight.

"Obtain Elemental Skill: Frost Strike."

"Obtain Elemental Burst: Chilling Wheel Dance."

"Gain the Innate Talent: Heart of the Abyss."

"Gain Talent, Hidden Strength."

"Acquire Swordsmanship: Ritual Swordsmanship."

A flurry of information rushed into Sasuke's brain in an instant.

Swordsmanship and elemental combat skills, Sasuke had already seen it before the elemental outbreak when he was fighting with Kaeya in the temple of the guardians, and being able to use the power of the ice elemental power is equivalent to mastering two additional ice escapes.

But what surprised him even more were these two inherent talents.

To put it simply, the Heart of the Ice Abyss is that the use of Ice Escape can restore Chakra, and the hidden strength can reduce physical exertion, which is equivalent to further enhancing physical skills.

Ninjutsu and physical arts have been improved in all aspects.

"Hey, Sasuke, don't stand stupidly, stay long enough, if you don't move your muscles and bones, mushrooms will grow."

Seeing that Sasuke hadn't moved for a long time, Kaeya, who was already ready to get up and act, urged.

"Okay."

……

After a period of trekking, the group arrived at Eagle Soaring Beach, which was displaced at the mouth of Mondstadt.

"Wow, I'm so tired."

Paimon, who arrived at his destination, rested on Sasuke's shoulder.

"You're flying all the time, aren't you? Why do you feel tired? ”

Kaeya complained.

"Please, it's tiring to fly, okay, if I had your long legs, I would have run on the ground."

Paimon strikes back.

"Hahaha, then I look forward to growing such long legs when you grow up in the future."

"But Sasuke, you didn't use your weird set during this operation...... Ninja ran away? ”

“…… Your running style is indeed more effortless. ”

"Hahaha, I'll just say, I always thought it was strange before your running style, and I tried it once, the first time I ran my center of gravity was unstable, and I almost didn't fall forward, I thought it was your unique way of running, maybe there was something special, and I wanted to ask you for advice, it seems that I don't need it now."

"But don't say it, it's really unique, it's ...... Handsome. ”

Sasuke can't say that it's because he has acquired Kaia's inherent talent, which makes it easier to run.

As for the previous running method, Konoha ninjas basically ran like this.

"Alright, this is the intersection of the Arcadia ruins."

Kaeya said as he came to a crack in a boulder on the beach.

"This is the intersection of the ruins?"

Paimon is skeptical.

"How so...... Feeling a little ordinary? ”

"It just looks ordinary."

Kaeya clapped her hands.

"This place is the same as the temple of the four winds before, it is a different space with the power of the leyline, it looks ordinary on the outside, but there is actually a cave in the inside."

"And it's ordinary, if it doesn't look ordinary, wouldn't the treasure have been taken away a long time ago?"

"Oh! It turned out to be so! ”

Paimon suddenly realized.

"I understand that the more ordinary the place, the easier it is to be overlooked."

"It's so profound, Kaeya, your grandfather is really amazing."

"This may be the wisdom of the old people."

Kaeya laughed.

Rustle rustle...... Wow.

A strange sound came from the entrance in the gap.

"Ahh What is the sound? ”

Paimon frowned slightly and stepped back behind the group.

"Looks like a rat has already taken the bait."

"Huh? What does this mean, Kaeya. ”

"It's not interesting, don't be suspicious, isn't it me and Sasuke?"

"Let's go, let's go in, move quickly, the treasure is already waiting for us."
