"How did you make such delicious food?"
Mona looked at Durandal in confusion. She couldn't imagine that such delicious food came from Durandal's hands. It was too unbelievable.
"Learn again and again, and slowly you will master it."
Touching Klee's hat, Durandal looked at Mona, as if wondering why Mona was asking such an obvious question.
Of course, Mona knew that if you cooked more, you could master some of it, but this couldn't be explained by mastering it. Such delicious food would be no problem even if you went to work in a restaurant.
Why would such a terrifying person have such amazing cooking skills? Was it innate? Can cooking skills also be innate?
Mona looked at Durandal and saw her wiping Klee's face with a handkerchief. The scene of the two getting along was very harmonious, like sisters, making Mona doubt the truth of the scene she had just divined.
Mona gasped, and she thought of a terrifying possibility, that was... that was that this little girl had tamed Durandal? She actually tamed this terrifying existence?
How did she do it? Didn't she only learn bomb knowledge from Alice? Could it be that she had awakened some other abilities?
Mona raised her head and wanted to observe again, but Durandal's face appeared directly in front of her, scaring her to sit on the ground.
"You... were you thinking about something strange just now?"
"Stran... Strange things? How could that be? Why would I think about those things? I... I was just thinking about Old Woman, yes! I was just thinking about what that Old Woman is doing now!"
"Old Woman?"
"Ah, she is my master, the one who made the [Fifty-Year Agreement] with Klee's mother. The reason why I came to find Klee this time is also because Old Woman asked me to bring the box back."
Seeing that Durandal's attention was successfully diverted by her, Mona breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to pat the dust off her body.
"That Old Woman is also very strange, telling me not to look at the things inside when I get the box. It's all mysterious. If I didn't know her, I would have thought she put some amazing treasure inside and was worried that I would embezzle it."
Mona waved her hand, with an expression that she couldn't stand her, making everyone think that her relationship with the other party was not good.
"But... you still came. You should have come from a very far place, right? It's obviously very troublesome, but you still came, just to complete the task she gave you."
"What... what is it? I'm her disciple anyway. Can a disciple refuse when the master asks the disciple to do something? And you don't know how terrifying that Old Woman is. Don't look at her being old now, but if she still wants to deal with me, I have no way to resist at all."
Speaking of this, Mona also told everyone about the things that the other party had deliberately made trouble for her in the past, one after another, as if she couldn't finish them all.
But Lumine noticed that when Mona was talking about these things, the expression on her face was more of a smile, which meant that those things brought her more good opportunities.
What a soft-hearted guy, Lumine felt that she had seen people like this often recently. Who is it?
"Cough! Cough! Let's just talk about it here. If that Old Woman knows that I'm talking bad about her behind her back, she'll deal with me again when I go back."
"Eh? Know that you're talking bad about her? How does she know? Will you tell her when you go back?"
"How is that possible! Who would make trouble for themselves? You saw it just now, Astrologist can understand something through divination. Then that Old Woman's ability is better than mine. If she wants to, she can easily know what I'm doing behind her back."
"Woo ah ah ~ Doesn't that mean there's no secret at all? Isn't that very bad?"
Just imagine, if you want to sneak something to eat one night, when you think everyone else is asleep, you sneak into the kitchen and open the refrigerator, and just take the delicious food out of it, and when you close the door, you see a few expressionless faces.
If the one who has mastered this ability is an outlaw, wouldn't that be a big deal? The Astrology group will definitely be implicated because of this.
"Don't worry, we have rules and won't easily divine other people's fates. Even if someone gives me more money, I won't do that kind of thing."
"Really? What if someone forces you, and your life is at stake if you don't comply? Would you still refuse?"
"Then let him kill me. It would be quicker to just kill me than to force me."
Mona's attitude was firm. No matter what, she would not divine the fate of others. Of course... if the person involved personally inquired, Mona might consider it.
Hearing Mona's answer, Paimon finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to have such a restriction; it really helped a lot.
"Divination... can your divination really predict other people's futures?"
Durandal curiously came to Mona: "Can you see other people's futures? Is it accurate?"
"Uh? That... it's mostly accurate, but there are also situations where I can't see through it. Some people's futures are full of mist, and no matter what, I can't see clearly."
There was also Durandal's situation, which probably only occurs when trying to predict someone more powerful than herself.
Originally wanting Mona to predict her future, Durandal immediately lost interest. Since it wasn't completely accurate, it was meaningless.
However... if Mona could see other people's futures and tell them what was going to happen, would the future still unfold along its original path?
Could fate not be changed? If fate could not be changed, would Hulder's plan succeed? Were those Adventurer just like chess pieces in her hand, at her mercy?
Heh heh~ If they were still like they were when they attacked her, then Durandal was sure that those Adventurer might not discover the problem in the end.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, the scene of her being sucked into the space-time rift was still clear in her mind.
Every time she thought of those Adventurer, Durandal couldn't help but feel sorry for them. They didn't even know they were being manipulated. When would they understand that woman's conspiracy?
(The Indestructible: MD, I get angry every time I think about it! When are you going to show your HP bar!)
"You... are you okay?"
Shenhe came to Durandal's side, bent down, tidied up the hair in front of Durandal's forehead, and looked at her with some concern.
"Hmm? I'm fine. Why are you suddenly asking this question?"
"Because... I feel like you seem very sad. Am I mistaken?"
Shenhe didn't know if it was her imagination, but when she observed Durandal just now, she always felt that her mood seemed very low.
"I... very sad? How did you see that?"
Durandal touched her face. She wasn't the type to express her emotions well. Occasionally, she would smile because of the people around her, and she would get angry because she was plotted against by Ningguang, but sadness... she really hadn't shown it.
How did Shenhe see it? Her expression shouldn't have changed just now, right?
Shenhe tilted her head and thought for a moment: "The feeling you gave me just now was like when we were resting by the pool on Mt. Aocang. At that time, you were sad because of Klee's matter, and you were emitting an aura similar to what you're emitting now."
Aura? Do people emit an aura when they are sad? Durandal was hearing this for the first time. She looked at Klee next to her, and Klee also shook her head with a puzzled expression.
It seemed that this was something only Shenhe could do. Unexpectedly, her true emotions were seen through by her. On the other hand, someone who had been desperately clinging to her not only hadn't noticed anything, but was also standing next to other girls, constantly finding topics to try to build rapport.
Look, after only a few moments of not seeing her, Lumine had successfully used Mona's personality to gain some favor. The other party said that it was impossible to learn Astrology, but it was no problem for her to be her assistant.
This person... if she didn't always appear when she needed her, Durandal would have buried her in the ground long ago.
Since meeting her, she had sighed more times during this period than in the past thousand years combined. This... was probably what was meant by being mentally exhausted.
Under the gaze of Shenhe and Klee, Durandal took out a Slime Condensates from who knows where, and feeling that it wasn't enough, she took out an Electro Slime as well.
On the other side, Lumine, who was chatting enthusiastically with Mona, suddenly felt a wave of hostility coming towards her, and habitually rolled to the side.
She saw a round object flying past her face. Lumine recognized what the flying object was. It was a Slime, and it was an Electro Slime.
What was going on? Why were there Slime in the place where they were resting? Could it be that there were Hilichurl hiding nearby? But the Hilichurl didn't have that much strength.
Before Lumine could figure out the situation, another Slime flew over while she hadn't gotten up yet. This time it was a Slime Condensates.
This time, the Slime Condensates accurately hit Lumine, wetting the clothes on her body.
Did you think that the next scene would be a fanservice scene? No, no, no, things weren't that simple.
The Electro Slime that was thrown out earlier flew back towards Lumine's direction after bouncing a few times. This time, Lumine had no way to avoid it and was hit by the Electro Slime.
Water plus Electro, Electro-Charged reaction. Lumine now experienced what Lisa had always talked about, the "tingly" feeling.
Because the DMG wasn't great, Lumine didn't feel much pain. At most, that tingling sensation kept flowing through her body. This was a strange feeling, but she didn't hate it, because she knew who did it.
Thinking of this, Lumine fell to the ground. Paimon next to her nervously came over and pushed Lumine's body, but after getting shocked herself, she could only stay by the side and watch nervously.
Durandal, who was not far away, clapped her hands, ignored Lumine lying on the ground, and began to pack her things, preparing to set off.
Looking at Durandal's back, Shenhe thought for a moment: "Sad..."
Before she could finish her words, Durandal suddenly turned around and covered her mouth with her hand, not allowing her to say the rest.
"It's enough for you to know, you don't need to say it out loud."
Shenhe nodded obediently to show that she understood. Only then did Durandal let go of her hand and go back to pack her things.
Shenhe touched her lips, blinked her eyes, and looked at Lumine, who had finally recovered a little and was being helped up by Mona, not knowing what she was thinking.
