"You take the triangular mechanism here. I'll go get the one in that direction," Lumine said, running to one side. Soon after, she was holding a yellow triangular mechanism in her hand: "Let's go."
"Alright," Alex also held one and approached the mechanism array with Lumine.
With the last two light-guiding mechanisms of the final grand array falling into place, the seal on top of the tall tower was effortlessly removed by the two of them.
During their search for the grand array, Lumine had already taken Alex on a tour of Stormterror's Lair.
The only regrettable thing was that all the treasure chests they saw along the way belonged to Lumine. He couldn't even get a single hair, and Lumine even self-righteously told him that she saw all the treasure chests first, so they all belonged to her!
Alex didn't really care; picking up those treasure chests only yielded a pile of small items and enough Primogem for a little over one pull.
Not envious, not envious at all!
Wuwuwu! There are too many Primogem in these treasure chests!
And it feels like the Lumine he met here is no ordinary hardcore player! She's practically a
wherever she goes, not a blade of grass grows
!
Just now, on a tree, he saw a group of small birds sleeping and resting on a nearby tree. Lumine, without a word, pulled out her skyward ak and fired a few shots. The birds on the tree were startled and flew away, escaping from here.
Lumine's Fowl +3.
Lumine nodded with satisfaction: "How nice, having a ranged weapon is so comfortable, simple and quick. Usually, it's hard to hit birds directly; you can only set traps to catch them!"
Afterward, Lumine climbed up the large tree again.
Lumine's Bird Eggs +10.
Lumine jumped down from the tree, clapped her hands, and looked at Alex, saying: "Harvest from the journey!"
Alex spread his hands; Lumine didn't even spare the birds!
"Better safe than sorry, at least there's meat to eat!" Lumine said.
Long periods of outdoor living had made Lumine highly skilled at catching fish, hunting birds, and collecting bird eggs.
Earlier, while Alex was chatting with Lumine about the Primogem she found in treasure chests, Lumine mentioned to him that after completing the cat-finding commission, ten Primogem inexplicably appeared in her backpack.
Alex clenched his fists, his eyes starting to redden. Not envious, truly not envious!
Since he's already here, he can be a boss who buys Primogem, not a miserable person running around for Primogem!
It seems he still needs to find a way to extract Primogem from Lumine!
After all, only Lumine's Primogem are inexhaustible!
After casually breaking the seal on the tall tower, Lumine and Alex did not explore inside the tower. After all, it was late at night; if they were to explore, they would do it later during the day.
Only Alex knew that the tower was empty inside, probably with only Dvalin resting. And there was no need to farm Dvalin late at night; he could do it later if needed! Anyway, the nearby Teleport Waypoint and Statue of The Seven were already unlocked!
It's worth mentioning that with Lumine by his side, Alex felt his luck had improved.
In the northern part of Stormterror's Lair, he saw a blue energy cluster.
At the end of their journey, Alex simply took Lumine to fight a Blossom of Revelation.
All the monsters that came out were Ruin Guards, Ruin Hunters, and the like.
And Alex had the skyward harp, while Lumine had the skyward ak. They beat them mercilessly!
During the times when they couldn't be paralyzed, he just needed to apply Frozen!
His two Combat Skills were Hydro element spitting bubbles and Hydro blades; Yaojing Aili (Fairy Aili) fired pink Cryo element magic bullets; the Baron Bunny construct in its mecha state fired Cryo element cannonballs.
And Lumine directly said: "Be gone with the wind!"
Then she used her Anemo abilities to help him create Swirls, mainly Cryo Swirls.
After all, they applied too much Hydro, and now the Cryo element was a bit weak.
For the insufficient Cryo, don't forget there was also a Cryo Whopperflower. Although the Cryo Whopperflower's projectiles, if they hit a Frozen monster too many times, would trigger a physical Shatter reaction, this minor issue didn't affect the overall strategy of the Permafrost team.
They just claimed and farmed experience books three times.
Alex used them all, and his level only reached 48.
He could clearly feel that the experience required for each level was increasing.
"Ah, woo~~~" Lumine also let out a sleepy sound at this moment.
Alex quickly checked the time and realized it was already past eleven at night.
He hadn't expected that simply playing in the open world would take two and a half hours.
"Lumine, you're tired, aren't you? Then I'll take you back to rest. Hmm, I'll go back to rest too. It's getting late!" Alex looked at Lumine and said to her.
"Mm, okay!" Lumine's voice was also a bit tired. After all, they had explored most of Stormterror's Lair and experienced many high-intensity battles.
Alex was about to take Lumine back. Then he saw a Wind Element Monolith in the distance.
Thinking again, Alex had an impression of it.
Wasn't this the location of the anemoculus he was missing before!
He had run through the Mondstadt area at least three times for it, couldn't find it, and finally only found it when he went with his mom, realizing there was one here.
Because its location was exceptionally high, the mini-map didn't show it!
"Before we go, I'll take you to get an anemoculus! If you're not careful, this Anemoculus is very hard to find!" Alex said, leading Lumine here.
Then Lumine used her Anemo abilities, and the Wind Element Monolith lit up.
Then a temporary Anemo field appeared in front. Lumine walked over, jumped up, and spread her Wind Glider.
Alex looked up, watching Lumine ascend rapidly, even with several white acceleration rings in mid-air.
Until Lumine flew to the end of the Anemo current, she had already obtained that lost Anemoculus.
After waiting for a moment, Lumine slowly descended from the Anemo field. When she was at a similar height, Lumine pulled out her Sword and directly performed a plunge attack.
"Thank you, I got it!" Lumine nodded and thanked Alex: "If you hadn't mentioned it, I probably would have had a very hard time finding this anemoculus."
"I'm glad I could help!" Alex said.
Afterward, Alex took Lumine, and the two arrived at the top floor of the Knights of Favonius.
"Then I'll see you off here. See you tomorrow!" Alex said, waving goodbye.
"Mm, see you tomorrow," Lumine nodded, then leaped down, spread her Wind Glider, and flew towards her inn.
Seeing Lumine fly away and land to walk back to the inn, Alex finally relaxed, vanished in a flash, left Mondstadt, and then drove for a while to return to his home in Fontaine.
Hmm, when he wakes up tomorrow, there really will be a lot to do.
First, he needed to restock the lemon for his small shop in Fontaine; seven portions would be enough!! His current lemon reserves were truly abundant.
If possible, Alex also wanted to set up his small stall in Mondstadt, a Primogem beverage shop.
It was time to also extract a wave of Mondstadt's Primogem!!!
