Chapter 186 The Successor of Great Knowledge

"Star Sea, what is the Star Sea? Are there fish in the Star Sea?"

Klee's answer made Mona's eyes twitch. The little guy in front of her didn't look like the successor to the great knowledge that the old woman talked about. Could it be that the old woman was getting senile?

"It's the synonym of Xinghai and the starry sky! Heir of great knowledge, are you afraid of my challenge?"

Mona patiently explained it to Kelly, but this kind of knowledge was not much different from common sense for scholars. Then Mona had a guess in her mind that the heir to the great knowledge in front of her might have deliberately turned into a child to deceive her.

"Successor of great knowledge, you don't need to pretend anymore. I came to Mondstadt this time just to challenge you."

"Eh? What are you talking about, sister? Ke Li doesn't understand at all."

Klee tilted her head and looked at Mona. Her innocent eyes made Mona feel as if she had recognized the wrong person, but her water divination technique had never been wrong. The little girl named Klee in front of her must be the person she was looking for.

"Although I know that the person I'm looking for is you, I'd still like to ask just in case. Kelly, your mother's name is Alice, right?"

Facing Klee's innocent eyes, Mona felt that this look could not be faked. After thinking for a while, Mona still asked about Klee's identity with some uncertainty.

"Yes, yes, is my sister my mother's friend? But my mother went to a very far place, and Kelly couldn't find her."

When she heard Mona mention the name Alice, Keli's eyes suddenly lit up and she became more enthusiastic towards Mona. Keli felt that since the sister in front of her knew her mother's name, she must be her mother's friend. Children's minds are so simple.

"I know this, but she should have taught you everything about the occult before she left, right?"

Mysticism? Another word she had never heard of before came from Mona's mouth. A big question mark appeared in Klee's little head. This was the first time she had heard of this word. Could it be another kind of bouncing bomb?
"Mysticism? Klee doesn't know. Mom only taught Klee how to make bouncing bombs and more powerful bouncing bombs."

"What? That's impossible. Senior Alice is a master in the field of mysticism. As her daughter, Kelly should know some knowledge of mysticism."

Mona's words revealed her admiration for Alice, her senior, but the reality was right in front of her, and she found it difficult to accept that Kelly did not inherit Alice's knowledge.

"Uh, Mona, you may have overestimated little Klee's brain. Even if Klee's mother had taught her about mysticism, there is no way Klee would have understood it."

Paimon pointed at Klee, whose height was only up to Mona's waist, and Mona finally reacted. It seemed to be true. Klee was so young that she wouldn't understand even if Senior Alice explained it to her. So how could she get the box that the old woman asked her to get back?

Besides, at such a young age, would Keli really know what box she was going to take back? If she took the wrong box, the old woman would definitely teach her a lesson, but since she was already here, Mona asked with the mentality of giving it a try.

"Little Klee, did your mother give you a box before she left?" "Yes, Klee also borrowed the box to pack some materials for making bouncing bombs. Sister, do you want that box?"

Ke Li took out a box from her bag and handed it to Mona. Mona saw that the box was filled with dangerous alchemical materials, so she waved her hand hastily. Based on her understanding of the old woman, the old woman wanted her to take back the contents of the box rather than the box itself.

"No, no, no, I just want the things that were originally inside, not the box."

"Eh? What's inside? Isn't it the notebook you're holding in your hand? Don't you know?"

what? ?

Klee's words were like a bolt from the blue that almost tore Mona apart. No wonder the old woman told her that she would be dead if she dared to open the box. It turned out that the box contained records of the old woman's embarrassing moments when she was young. It was over, it was all over now. If the old woman knew about this, she would definitely not let her go.

"Ruojin, is it really okay for Mona to be like this?"

Paimon looked at Mona with some worry. Ever since he knew that the notebook in his hand was what Mona was looking for, Paimon seemed to always see a white soul floating out of Mona's slightly open mouth. Even now that they were at the Deer Hunter Restaurant, Mona still looked half-dead.

"Hmm~ The problem might be a bit serious. When I ordered a table full of meat dishes just now, Mona didn't show any excitement at all. It's really a bit abnormal."

Hu Tao touched his chin and was a little worried about Mona's condition. From the time he met Klee until now, Mona would always say something like "It's over" or "The old woman will kill me, right?" from time to time. This made Hu Tao and the others confused, but seeing Mona's condition, they chose not to ask any more questions.

"Is Mona too poor? She doesn't have the money to go home? Kurumi didn't deduct Mona's salary."

Ying was distributing tableware to everyone while speculating that maybe they were used to using chopsticks in Liyue Harbor, so Ying didn't take a single knife or fork when distributing tableware, only chopsticks. Sarah noticed this and cut the Sweet Flower Stuffed Chicken a few times when serving it, so that it would be more convenient to eat with chopsticks.

"Go home? Yes! As long as I don't go back so quickly as planned, that old woman won't be able to do anything to me! Ying, thank you."

Ying's unintentional guess suddenly woke up the confused Mona. Yes, the old woman didn't tell her when to go back. As long as she didn't go back, the old woman couldn't do anything to her. Then she didn't have to worry about the old woman's "harmful hand" to her.

And since things have already happened, there is no point in regretting it. Smelling the delicious food on the table, Mona, who had figured it out, regained some energy. Before, she was thinking about getting the things as soon as possible and sending them back as soon as possible, and then she could settle down in Liyue Harbor with peace of mind.

But now that this has happened, even if Mona wanted to go back, she didn't dare to. After all, no one can lie in front of her master, the old woman. Even if Mona lies, her master, the old woman will see through it at a glance.

In that case, she had no choice but to act according to her previous plan. She would wait until the old lady her master was about to die before sending the things back. Otherwise, Mona was worried that her body would be carried back to the Hall of Rebirth horizontally when she returned upright. She didn't want to experience the employee benefits of the Hall of Rebirth so early.
