The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 12 Before exploring the ruins

"I didn't expect you to be interested in ruins. Why didn't I see you take the initiative to look for ruins in Liyue?"

A teasing tone sounded in Ruojin's mind. King Ruotu knew Ruojin's experiences in recent years very well. When he heard that Ruojin was going to explore the ruins, King Ruotu immediately thought of the interesting things that happened in the past.

"Then Boss Ruota, you should go ask those damn treasure-stealing groups. If those treasure-stealing groups were not so diligent, I would also go to the wild to look for ruins and explore them."

And the white-haired boy's reasons were enough for me to help him, I added secretly in my heart. Ruo Jin took a deep breath. The mention of the ruins reminded him of some not very pleasant things.

Thinking back to the unfortunate experience of entering three ruins on a whim, only to have all three ruins emptied by the treasure-stealing group, Ruo Jin wished that Liyue would organize another operation to crack down on the treasure-stealing group. Damn it, it makes him angry just thinking about it.

"I don't know what unseen things there might be in the ruins of Mondstadt. I'm looking forward to it."

This time, in addition to wanting to help the white-haired boy named Bennett, Ruo Jin also took on the commission to explore the ruins on a whim. It was worthwhile to participate in an adventure in an unknown country.

"Brother Ruojin, Brother Ruojin, I'm coming, I'm coming."

Bennett's voice came from not far away. Ruo Jin looked in the direction where the voice came from and was shocked by Bennett's unique appearance. He saw that Bennett was carrying a bulging bag on his back, a water bag that seemed to be full of water, tied around his waist with a thick rope.

"Bennett, aren't we going to explore the ruins? Are you planning to stay in the ruins when you are fully armed?"

Ruo Jin teased Bennett and reached out to take the bag from Bennett. Bennett scratched his head embarrassedly. Apart from Razor and Fischl, this was the first time he met a companion who did not despise him.

"Brother Ruojin, I'm so sorry. It took a little time because I had a lot of things to prepare."

"It's okay, I just arrived too, so shall we go?"

"Let's set off quickly and try to complete the commission as soon as possible."

Bennett's energetic look somewhat infected Ruo Jin. He had just asked about Bennett and learned about his past and his unique bad luck.

Although those adventurers kept persuading Ruojin to keep his distance from Bennett, Ruojin did not intend to listen to those adventurers' advice. Since he had already promised to form a team with Bennett, he would definitely do what he said.

Moreover, Ruo Jin felt that Bennett would be a friend worth making close friends with. After experiencing so many hardships, he still remained optimistic about life. This was something that only a person with a firm mind could do. Moreover, Bennett was well-known throughout Mondstadt for his filial piety to his fathers, which made Ruo Jin more determined to make close friends with Bennett.

"I don't think this child is the unlucky one those Mond people said. This child has the aura of an ordinary person. Humph, those Mond people are really making a fuss out of nothing."

"I, the Dragon King Ruotu, have lived for thousands of years and have seen all kinds of bad luck. Speaking of bad luck, during the Demon God War, a monster was choked to death by mistake because Ganyu was too fat. That was real bad luck."

The gloating voice of King Ruota came from Ruojin's mind. Ruojin couldn't help but say inwardly, "Oh my god!" He seemed to have heard some news that he shouldn't have heard. He also accidentally found out the reason why Sister Ganyu cared so much about her weight. If Sister Ganyu knew about this, wouldn't Sister Ganyu kill him?
The scene where Ganyu shot and killed three Hillichu Kings with one arrow was still engraved in Ruojin's memory. He needed to be careful when speaking in front of Sister Ganyu in the future. If he let something slip, he would definitely suffer.

As for what Boss Ruota said, Ruo Jin felt that it made sense. How unlucky could Bennett be? It was just that the gains from this expedition were a little smaller.

This was nothing to Ruojin, who was adopted by the Ke family. As a family with a history of thousands of years, the Ke family had nothing but Morado and a little Morado, which Ruojin would not take seriously. With the idea of ​​not caring about the gains and just wanting to make friends with Bennett, Ruojin and Bennett left Mondstadt and set foot on the road to the ruins. This expedition also allowed Ruojin and the Dragon King Ruoto to see what a real unlucky person is.

"Hey, where did the stone come from?"

"Hey hey hey hey, why is there a lasso trap here?"

"Ahhh, if Brother Ruojin had pulled me up, I would have fallen into the pit..."

After rescuing Bennett from the trap for who knows how many times, Ruo Jin's heart had become numb. He felt that Kuaidao Chen had killed fish all his life but still had no luck. At this moment, his heart was numb. In his 18 years of life, he had never seen anyone as unlucky as Bennett.

He just couldn't understand how Bennett had managed to perfectly avoid all the safe places along the way. Even if he used the ground vein perception, he couldn't be so precise. After all, the ground veins also had thin spots, and the places where Bennett fell into the trap were often the vaguest places in Ruo Jin's perception.

The Ruota Dragon King in Ruojin's body also fell silent at this time. For the first time, this dragon king who had lived for thousands of years felt that his knowledge was shallow. It turned out that there really were such unlucky people in the world.

After walking along the road with Bennett, Ruo Jin and Ruota Dragon King both felt that the people in Mondstadt were being too reserved. If it were someone else, they would have probably left this world long ago.

"Bennett, why don't we take a break before exploring the secret realm? You may need to rest and replenish your energy in your current state."

"Brother Ruojin, I will listen to you. I have some fisherman's toast that I made this morning. I'll share some with you."

After skillfully brushing off the dust on his body and washing his hands with the water in the water bag, Bennett opened the bag that Ruojin had helped him hold and took out two pieces of fisherman's toast. He then picked out the one that looked the best and handed it to Ruojin. Then Bennett happily ate the burnt fisherman's toast in his hand.

In Bennett's opinion, it was already very lucky that one of the dozen or so fisherman's vomits was not burnt, and being able to share this luck with his friends was the luckiest thing that happened today.

"I never thought this kid was so loyal that he actually gave you the best food."

When Ruota saw Bennett's behavior, his evaluation of Bennett in his heart increased a few points. After Ruojin took the fisherman's toast handed to him by Bennett, he was also quite touched. Under Bennett's expectant eyes, Ruojin took a big bite of the fisherman's toast.

"How about it, Brother Ruojin, the fisherman's toast I made is delicious, isn't it?"

"It tastes really good, very delicious..."

Looking at Bennett's expectant eyes, Ruo Jin was too embarrassed to tell him the truth. Ruo Jin had no choice but to call out "Rhodo Dragon King" in his heart.

"Boss Ruota, wrap my teeth with some rock element."

"Huh? What's wrong with you, kid? Are you trying to come up with some table manners?"

"No, not table manners, there's a rock in this fucking fisherman's toast and it hit my tooth and it hurts like hell."
