Chapter 417

They could be killed off with ease.

To put it bluntly, the Long Wang has been phased out; he has fallen behind the current power curve.

Or, from the perspective of beings like them, a lifeform that was once powerful enough to contend with them—

is now merely a weakling or a pet within their world system.

This feeling is far too wonderful.

It is enough to be intoxicating.

Therefore.

The gods do not care.

The Long Wang's potential has already been capped.

But what if Ye Ruo, this item, could allow Azhdaha to grow to that level even in this new environment?

That would be quite interesting.

Ye Ruo certainly wouldn't mind if his own allies were a bit stronger.

Regardless of whether it works or not, he'll just go and try it out when the time comes.

After all, Azhdaha's seal is also gradually weakening, isn't it?

Zhong Li has overlooked this detail.

Otherwise, he surely would have gone over to add a few more pillars to make the seal more secure.

Seeing that there was one last draw remaining, Ye Ruo casually used it as well.

【Ding, congratulations on successfully opening the Precious Chest; you have obtained one chance to reinforce a Common Chest.】

Seeing the Common Chest made Ye Ruo reminisce for a moment.

Ah, this chest that can be used to draw daily resources.

He hadn't touched it much lately.

It usually contains various daily resources from the Teyvat continent.

For instance, the various ores, Hilichurl wooden clubs, bamboo shoots, and Naku Weed he drew at the very beginning.

It contains all sorts of items.

And the quantities are huge.

A single chest can contain hundreds of logs.

It ensures Ye Ruo never lacks resources.

He can have anything he wants with a wave of his hand.

He can eat Mondstadt delicacies in the morning, Liyue's at noon, and Sumeru's in the evening.

And Inazuma's the next morning.

Ingredients from all seven nations can be drawn.

That kind of life.

Is very happy.

It's just that seeing a Precious Chest yield such a reinforcement chance made Ye Ruo wonder if it was a bit of a loss.

Hadn't he drawn a reinforcement chance for an Exquisite Chest before?

Forget it, just draw.

As Ye Ruo's intent shifted, a more luxurious-looking chest popped up where the Common Chest had been, and then it burst open.

【Ding, congratulations on opening one Reinforced Common Chest; you have obtained a Mithril vein.】

Mithril?

Seeing this familiar name, Ye Ruo was taken aback.

This item is one that appears frequently in many works.

And it belongs to the very rare and precious kind.

【Mithril Vein】

【Bury it into the earth at a chosen location, and this area will generate a massive Mithril vein; its value is immeasurable.】

【A magical metal from another world, silver-white in appearance and quite sturdy. Of course, that is for dwarves. But for mages, this is not a sturdy material, but a top-grade synthetic material.】

【Just by adding a little bit into equipment, the performance of weapons and armor can be raised by a large margin!】

【With superb craftsmanship and ability, one can manufacture Mithril bullets, Mithril soft armor, magic swords, magic rings, helmets, accessories, and many other magical items.】

【In many worlds, people would fight to the death for it. This is enough to show its preciousness; it is also an extremely rare item in the magical world, a true hard currency.】

After seeing this, Ye Ruo nodded.

Not bad, not bad.

Then he appeared directly in the Minor Realm, found an area, and placed the silver-white ore heart into the soil.

Soon, the earth here began to tremble.

A massive Mithril vein surged out wildly, like a dragon turning over.

The commotion was quite large.

However, only Ye Ruo knew about it.

"Alright, I'll let Lisa use it as research material later; she's in for a treat."

"With so much Mithril ore, she can use it however she likes."

"It's all because she found a good man like me."

"It can create many interesting magical items; the most direct use is making armor. Should I try it too, and forge a magic sword with Mithril?"

"After all, I am a Master of Alchemy myself."

"Perhaps in the future, Mondstadt will also become a magical civilization filled with rich fantasy colors. I'm really looking forward to it."

And when the day broke, the Knights of Favonius had already begun their work.

These knights were more proactive than ever.

As for Jean, she was the same.

She hadn't slept well lately.

She had been very surprised when Ye Ruo led the Knights to sign a cooperation agreement with Liyue.

Of course, an even bigger surprise was yet to come.

It was that Ye Ruo had actually held hands with that Liyue Qixing in public, shocking everyone.

This news caused a sensation when it reached the Knights.

The knights were very proud.

As expected of their Wind Knight.

He had actually managed to woo that Liyue Qixing.

This was just too fierce.

Truly god-like.

Ordinary people couldn't do such a thing.

With this, the relationship between Mondstadt and Liyue took a huge leap forward, and the cooperation and trade between the two sides became much closer overnight.

Many trades became interconnected.

Mondstadt purchased some useful items from Liyue.

Liyue purchased good things from here.

It became even more frequent.

Things like instant noodles also started selling like crazy in Liyue.

It was even said that the orders at the Dawn Winery were affected, directly exploding.

They were incredibly busy.

There were also some merchants who wanted to buy Mondstadt's alchemical electrical appliances.

Such bright lighting was even better to use than oil lamps.

So the Knights launched various styles of alchemical electric lamps.

Using the alchemical batteries invented by Albedo, they could be used for a long time.
