The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 70 Accident
"Ying, let's get started quickly. The reward given to us by Master Diluk for this commission is very generous."

"Hey, Paimon, stop shaking my arm. Damn, you've shaken all the elemental baits Diluk gave us to the ground..."

As soon as the elemental bait landed on the ground, rich ice elements immediately spread around. The slimes, who were always sensitive to elemental power, immediately discovered the elemental bait, and slimes of various elements jumped towards the location of the elemental bait.

Seeing the slimes of different sizes and elements rushing towards her, Paimon scratched her head. She seemed to be in trouble again. She didn't know if the Knights could solve it. They shouldn't be as bad as Master Diluk said, right?
"Don't just stand there, go find Diluk at Angel's Gift. These slimes and other elemental baits will naturally disperse once they dissipate."

Seeing Paimon standing there in a daze, Ying pulled Paimon towards the Angel's Gift. The effective time of this elemental bait was not very long, and if time was wasted, it was likely that someone would notice it.

As soon as she stepped into the door of Angel's Gift, Ying saw Hoffman drinking dandelion wine at the bar. As expected, someone in the Knights suspected that Diluk was the Dark Night Hero. Fortunately, she had already placed the elemental bait. As long as she followed the plan, Diluk should not be exposed.

Ying sighed in her heart that Diluk was well prepared, and then asked Diluk for two glasses of juice without changing her expression. It would be too weird if she didn't order a drink at this time.

When Diluk was preparing juice for Ying and Paimon, the door of Angel's Gift was pushed open again. Ying and the others thought that it would be the Knight of Favonius who came to report that many slimes had gathered in front of the city gate, but the person who walked in was a guy wearing a hat.

"Ying, isn't this guy the Sumeru man that Captain Qin welcomed at that time? I think his name is Seno. It was this guy who delayed our banquet. How abominable."

Seeing one of the culprits who caused the postponement of the banquet, Paimon always felt for some reason that this guy named Seno might catch her and Ying in the future. Paimon shrank his neck timidly and whispered bad things about Seno in Ying's ear.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. I hope this guy won't have any impact on our plans."

Ying looked at Seno, who ordered a glass of dandelion wine and looked like he wanted to taste the wine here. She felt a little nervous. The plan had already begun, and it could not be paused even if uncertain factors came into play. She wondered if Diluk had any solution.

"Mr. Hoffman, no, it's bad. There are a lot of slimes outside. Go and take a look."

"Slime? Can't you handle this kind of thing?"

Hoffman frowned. When Captain Kaeya told him to keep an eye on Boss Diluk in Angel's Gift tonight, he suspected that Boss Diluk might be a night elf hero.
At this time when I was verifying my guess, you asked me to leave here to deal with the slime? The new knights of the Knights are really worse than the previous generation. They are so panicked when they meet a slime. How can they deal with other enemies in the future? Hoffman glared at the Knight of Favonius who reported the news. He felt that he should train the new knights of the Knights well.

"No, that's not it. There are just too many slimes outside, and there are several wind slimes that are constantly spreading with slimes of other elements. We rookie knights don't have bows and arrows and can't get close."

Ah, the words of the new knight made Hoffman hesitate. According to the rules, he should deal with those slimes immediately at this time, but he was unwilling to give up this opportunity. He looked at Ying, then at Seno who was drinking on the side, and finally set his eyes on Seno.

"Mr. Disciplinary Officer, can you please go to the side and talk for a while?"

Seeing that Hoffman was wearing the armor of the Knight of Favonius, Seno nodded and followed Hoffman to a corner of the tavern. Hoffman said sincerely.

"Um, can you please help me, Chief Disciplinary Officer?" "Sure, can we clean up those slimes?"

Hearing what the knight said just now, Seno subconsciously thought that Hoffman wanted to ask him for help in dealing with the slimes. Hoffman shook his head and spoke in a low voice.

"No, no, no, you are a guest from Xumi, I will do this kind of thing. Please help me keep an eye on Boss Diluk. If he leaves in the middle of the trip, please tell me when I come back."

"Well, I see."

Seno glanced at Ying who was eavesdropping at the side. Hoffman's request was not a difficult task. Besides, Seno and other disciplinary officers now needed the help of the Knights to investigate some matters. Seno was happy to help with this small favor.

After giving a standard knight's salute to Seno, Hoffman followed the knight who came to report the news and hurriedly left the angel's gift. Ying, who overheard the conversation between Hoffman and Seno, seemed a little anxious. Damn it, this abominable Xumi person, he is cutting off her source of income. Just wait and see, when she becomes stronger, you will be in trouble.

Having made a mental note of Seno, the guy who had caused trouble for her commission, Ying could only pray that Diluk had other solutions. There were many monsters that had an appointment with Diluk tonight, and she might not be able to deal with them alone.

Inside the bar, unlike the anxious Ying and Paimon, Diluk still stood there wiping the glass with an expressionless face, not showing any panic. Kaeya, who had been observing from the second floor of the tavern, frowned. Could it be that his sworn brother had discovered him and was going to let him deal with those monsters?

This shouldn't be the case. He skipped work for an entire afternoon and handed over the task of interrogating those nobles to other people, all so that he could hide on the second floor of the tavern early and observe Diluk. It was impossible for his sworn brother to discover him. Could it be that the current situation was also part of his calculations?

Even though Diluk mostly uses force to solve problems and rarely uses strategies, Kaeya doesn't think that Diluk is a reckless man, otherwise he wouldn't have suffered so much at the hands of Diluk. Damn, this guy must have a backup plan.

It can only be said that Kaeya is the person who knows Diluk best. Just a few seconds after he figured it out, Ruojin pushed the door and entered the Angel's Gift. Seeing Ruojin come in, Diluk paused while wiping the cup, and spoke to Ruojin as if nothing had happened.

"We're out of apples for making juice. If you have time, please buy some for me."

"Apple, OK, I just happen to have nothing to do."

Ruo Jin narrowed his eyes and looked at Seno who was sitting at the bar. This guy should be one of the changes that Diluk told him about. If Diluk hadn't greeted him in advance and asked him to come to Angel's Gift in the evening, Diluk's identity as a dark night hero would definitely be exposed.

The seemingly ordinary conversation between Ruojin and Diluk made Ying's eyes light up. Diluk was worthy of his name, as he actually found Ruojin. In this way, there should be no problem with the monsters outside.

Kaeya on the second floor had the same idea as Ying, but he didn't expect that Diluk and Ruojin would have such a good relationship. Kaeya originally wanted to jump out from the second floor to see if Diluk's backhand was in danger, but now, it was time to drink.
