Chapter 32
Angel's Share third floor,
Two men were sitting on the sofa opposite each other.
"I didn't come to you because of the Abyss Mage..." Suddenly, Jason said something that surprised Diluc.
"Oh?" Diluc raised his eyebrows and became curious.
"How about going to Stormbearer Mountains together?" Jason invited Diluc.
After hearing his invitation, Diluc lowered his raised legs and slightly leaned forward with his elbows resting on his knees.
He looked at Jason carefully to find any clue on his face.
"Just the two of us?" After not finding anything, Diluc couldn't help but ask.
"Well, Lumine, Barbara, and Noelle should join... " Jason replied with some embarrassment.
"Don't tell me you want to train them?" Diluc asked with a frown on his face.
He had once acted with Jason before, accompanied by an investigator from Adventurers' Guild.
It's a girl named Fischl.
Diluc had a headache trying to have a proper conversation with her. If not for Oz, the night raven, he might have gone insane trying to communicate with her.
"That's right..." Jason honestly admitted his purpose.
Diluc looked at him strangely and said, "You must know that my strength is about to reach the upper limit of the current world. Training has no effect on me anymore..."
Most leylines of the Teyvat continent were sealed by Celestia in the past. So, even if one possesses a vision, there is an upper limit to their strength in such circumstances.
After all, the source of elemental power is leyline energy. So, it is impossible to increase the world level without unsealing the leylines.
The majority of the leylines were sealed, and the remaining energy that escaped from the other parts was limited.
Due to this reason, there is a thin presence of elemental energy in the atmosphere. And, there's no way someone can ascend to the next phase without increasing the world level.
"If you just want me to accompany them for some training, I don't have the time or interest...." Diluc was about to say something but suddenly stopped and realized something wrong.
"Wait, if it is you, you must have expected my answer. Even so, you came to me like this, which means that you have the confidence to convince me..."
Diluc started thinking for a while and suddenly thought of something.
"Don't tell me you agree!?" Diluc widened his eyes with agitated emotions.
If the people of Mondstadt saw Diluc right now, they would be astonished.
Diluc has always left an image of a calm, handsome, and intelligent person in the city.
So, what is the reason for such a person showing this sort of expression?
"Well, Yes..." Jason simply admitted.
At that same time, he looked at his system panel for ongoing tasks.
[System prompt]: The host has accepted the mission to increase the world level.
Quest content: Unlock the seal left by the gods on Mondstadt's leylines, and restore part of the leyline energy circulating on Teyvat.
Mission reward: God-level prop
Note: When the gods of Celestia sealed the leylines, they used a particular sacred object as the sealing medium. After unlocking the seal, maybe you can get it.
Mission restriction: Non-native of Teyvat/Traveler from another world
Note: Due to restrictions set by the gods, people from Teyvat cannot enter the ruins in which the leylines are sealed. Only the host and people from another world can enter it.
Jason briefly read the mission description.
This was a request from the top management of Mondstadt Adventurers' Guild, Chamber of Commerce led by Diluc, and the previous Knights of Favonius headed by Grandmaster Varka more than half a year ago.
But at that time, he rejected their request.
The reason was straightforward - there was no such thing in the plot he remembered.
There was no such place and setting in the original game that the native people of Teyvat could not enter.
So at that time, he didn't want to take any unnecessary risks because he only had one life to spare.
But, now he must go and unseal the leylines.
If not, whether it is him, ambitious adventurers from the guild, or people like Diluc, can only live under the shadow of the gods forever.
Without unsealing the leylines, people's power can never reach the heights of gods.
Jason can never accept such a situation. If his training objects can't ascend, he would never be able to upgrade beyond his initial level.
This is why he must go to the ruins where the leylines are sealed.
But, to be on the safe side, he waited for the arrival of a helper.
Both travelers, Lumine and Aether, fulfill the conditions to enter the ruins with him.
Fortunately, Lumine was the one that arrived in Mondstadt. Otherwise, he would feel a bit awkward around Aether, after all.
"Don't forget that besides me, now there is another traveler from the outside world..." Jason said meaningfully.
"So, it turns out that the arrival of the traveler made you change your mind!"
Diluc couldn't help but stand up and walk back and forth in excitement.
After a while, he finally realized his gaffe.
So, he coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment and sat down again. "So, I'm guessing that your reason for heading to Stormbearer Mountains is to train the traveler and increase her strength?"
Diluc also realized the purpose of Jason's trip was to make the traveler stronger. He guessed that the other people on the team were extra addition.
A stronger traveler can accompany Jason inside the ruins that sealed Mondstadt's leylines.
After thinking about this, Diluc really couldn't refuse.
"Well, you convinced me. I'll go with you."
"I'll be a free bodyguard this time..." Diluc sighed and agreed.
Jason must have expected this right from the beginning and just wanted to tease him.
"Haha, you should experience what it's like to be a nanny. This is something new for you to try..."
Jason jokingly waved his hand, "Well, jokes aside, see you outside the Whispering Woods later."
After seeing him nod, he went back to his place.
The restaurant was closed tonight and only accepted takeaways.
At this time, Noelle was waiting for him in the hall, carrying a large bag.
The bag consists of tents, sleeping bags, dry food, water bottles, cooking equipment, flints, and portable knives.
Lumine and Paimon were also nearby.
"Boss Jason..." Noelle quickly noticed his arrival.
"Well, first let me take care of this stuff." After saying this, Jason threw the bags into his system backpack.
Noelle looked envious of his space storage.
After all, the space inside a Vision is generally only capable of storing a single weapon. So, Noelle didn't have any extra storage space in her Geo Vision.
"I also have an exclusive storage space. You can also leave these items to me for holding..." Paimon told them about her unique ability.
"Nah, I'm afraid you can't help but steal some stuff, especially the food..." Jason didn't believe in Paimon's integrity.
After saying this, Jason glanced at everyone present and said, "Well, lets go then..."
