Chapter 188 Paimon: Traveler, buy that!
After the curtain was lowered, Radu pushed the cart back to the preparation room. He took his things out of the cart and put them aside, then hesitantly reached into his pocket and touched the coffee candy that the strange girl had just given him.
When he saw the candy wrapped in light green paper, he was stunned for a moment, looked around, and when he saw that no one was looking at him, he quickly peeled off the paper and threw the brown coffee candy into his mouth.
The bitter taste of coffee and the sweet taste of sugar instantly spread in his mouth, but Radu didn't care and just swallowed mechanically.
His eyes were completely attracted by the unfolded candy wrapper. On the back of the candy wrapper were written a few lines of beautiful words:
[Dolly, a wealthy merchant from Port Omos, is the partner of Harold, the new tutor at Amyrido Academy.
Harold is working on a type of rice that can be grown in the desert, and both he and Dolly behind him would be interested in your project.
You can find him through Dolly~ (with a cute smiley face with cat whiskers drawn behind)]
Harold? Dolly?
Radu thought about the contents of the candy wrapper, chewing the two names over and over again, thinking about the connection between them.
Suddenly, the slightly dull expression on his face turned into astonishment, and then into surprise. He quickly picked up his suggestion box, turned it upside down and shook it vigorously.
Five pieces of paper fell lightly onto the table as he moved, and he immediately saw the one that "Suleika" had thrown in.
It was a light green paper, the same color as the candy wrapper.
Radu took the folded paper in his hand, opened it, and saw the same beautiful handwriting:
[You can also go directly to the Church of the Holy Orders to find Harold. He is currently recruiting students. I can feel that you two are a good match.]
I want to become Harold's student. Can that famous person give me some advice? If it's him, I can definitely apply for a subsidy from the Ordinance House, right?
He also has cooperation with the big businessman Dolly? I wonder if he is willing to help me make the connection. If Mr. Dolly can invest, I won’t have to worry about research funding.
Are you enrolling now?
But I haven't finished the courses at the Order of the Imam yet. Harold is in his first year as a tutor, and he is not yet qualified to directly recruit scholars who have not completed their studies as students. But it will take me at least half a year to complete all the courses. Will he wait for me?
As he thought and thought again, Radu's emotions rose and fell like the wind slime.
Compared to Radu's mixed emotions of surprise, confusion, hesitation, etc., the topic of the travelers from another world who were just beginning to get acquainted with Mond and his food reserves was more relaxed.
"Traveler, look! That's the Slime Milk Tea Shop over there! Slime Milk Tea was originally only available in Xumi, and it only opened in Mondstadt in the past two weeks.
Wow, there are so many people lining up over there! It must be really delicious. Hehe, I've wanted to try it for a long time. Is there really slime in it? What does slime taste like? "
The white floating object next to the yellow-haired man said happily as it floated back and forth.
"If you want to drink, let's buy a cup and try it. But if it's too expensive, we won't buy it. I don't have enough money."
Sora said as he looked towards the stall Paimon was pointing at.
"Really? Traveler, I knew you were the best!" Paimon's eyes were full of stars. She happily floated a circle in front of Sora.
"Not expensive, not expensive. I heard that one cup costs only one thousand Mora. Even with all the toppings, it's only three thousand five hundred Mora. The money that Captain Qin just gave us is enough for us to buy ten cups!"
"Okay, let's go line up." Kong nodded.
The two of them stood at the end of the line. Paimon pointed at a boy holding a pamphlet who ran past them and said:
"Traveler, if you buy milk tea here, you will get a free pamphlet of "Slime Continent". This is a very popular novel here."
Sora: "Slime Continent?"
"The full name is "The Bizarre Adventure of Slime Continent", it seems to be a story about slimes, hehe, I heard someone say there are slime princes and princesses in it,
What are slime princes and princesses like? Are they bigger than regular slimes? Do they taste better? "Paimon wiped his saliva.
Kong narrowed his eyes slightly, expressing his speechlessness: "Why is it that Paimon only thinks about food?"
"But I just want to try some slime!" Paimon said confidently, then she changed the subject as if she was disappointed.
"Ah, why isn't it our turn yet? I'll go check ahead."
After saying that, she floated forward quickly.
"Hey, Paimon!" Kong shouted, but failed to call Paimon back. He had no choice but to stay in the team and wait for her to come back.
At this time, Kong Kong saw two life-size standees placed on the left and right sides of the store, one with three women and the other with three men.
On the wall behind them, there was a sticker with a few big red words on it: Top Popularity of the Month
"...Zhongli, Pan Fugui, and that Wei Lingren."
"...Kaia, Fuyanka--Kaia?!" Kong's eyes suddenly widened, the dark-skinned captain of the Knights' Cavalry and his joking tone emerged in his mind.
Coincidence?
Sora fell into deep thought.
"Traveler, I'm back! The owner knows us. I told him I was waiting in line, and he gave us the brochure first! Traveler, do you think we are famous now?"
Paimon flew back to Sora with the booklet.
Paimon: "Huh? Why are you ignoring me? What are you looking at?"
"Paimon, look at that." Kong pointed to the sign next to the milk tea shop.
"Um...Kaeya, Fuyanka, Qiqi--Hey! How come Kaeya turned into a female!" Paimon flew half a meter away as if he was frightened.
"It must be a coincidence." Kong said as he opened the booklet that Paimon handed to him and read the contents.
"Hmm? But she also has black skin!" Paimon held his chin with one hand, thinking.
"Dark skin is not uncommon," said Kong.
Paimon: "Her hair and eyes are blue too!"
"She's a water slime, so it's normal for her hair and eyes to be blue, and she's not wearing an eyepatch," Sora said.
"That's right." Paimon was convinced.
Sora put the booklet in his hand to the next page, and then he saw that "Kaeya" had a brother named Diluk.
null:...
Sora: "You guessed right, Paimon. She is Kaeya."
Paimon put his hands on his hips and said, "Traveler, why did you change your expression so quickly? You just said she wasn't one."
"Look at this." Sora held the booklet in front of Paimon.
"Hmm... Let me see... Kaeya, the Fire Nation Princess... Brother Diluk? Huh?!"
Paimon was shocked, "Why is Kaeya the Slime Princess? Shouldn't he be the Prince?"
Sora: "Maybe the milk tea shop was opened by Master Diluk."
"Oh! There is only one truth: private, human, gratitude, and resentment!" Paimon immediately started cosplaying as Conan.
After that, she denied her previous reasoning in confusion: "No, no, Slime Milk Tea was originally opened in Xumi! Why would Diluk run to Xumi to open a milk tea shop?"
Sora shrugged, indicating that he was equally confused.
