Chapter 340: A Test from the Adepti (Please subscribe!!)

At this very moment, Jiang Yan was squatting on a tree not far away, hiding his figure with the Snake Talisman.

And Lumine and Paimon, not far away, also came to the small island in the center of the lake and began to search.

Although Cloud Retainer had already put away her semi-automatic lazy cooking tool Mark II.

But there were still traces of the cooking from that thing on the ground.

Such obvious traces naturally could not escape the sharp eyes of Lumine and Paimon.

"Here... are there traces of cooking?"

Paimon observed carefully for a while, then said to Lumine beside her.

"Hmm, it looks like it was just finished not long ago."

Lumine reached out and touched the still-warm soil, frowning slightly.

"It seems we arrived a bit late..."

Paimon sighed and said softly.

"But they shouldn’t have gone too far; let’s look around."

After Paimon finished speaking, she took Lumine and left the small island in the center of the lake, starting to wander around the summit.

Basically, without much effort, they easily found Cloud Retainer’s abode.

"This should be the adepti’s abode."

Paimon looked around and said to Lumine with certainty.

"Hmm."

Lumine was still the cold and quiet type, just giving a faint "hmm."

Then, Paimon flew forward and knocked on the door gently.

However, there was still no movement from the door.

Paimon frowned, then, as if not believing it, hammered the door hard again.

However, there was still no movement from the door.

From the moment the two stepped into the entrance, Cloud Retainer’s test had already begun.

As an adeptus under Morax.

If Lumine wanted to meet Morax, Cloud Retainer would naturally not let them pass easily.

After all, this was what Morax had said, that they needed to be tested.

After knocking on the door several times to no avail, Paimon finally became a bit impatient.

Even Lumine was frowning tightly, looking like she was thinking.

"Could it be that the adeptus is not in the abode right now?"

Paimon asked with some confusion.

"No, perhaps, this is the adeptus’s test for us!"

Lumine and Paimon had clearly experienced the tests of other adepti.

Therefore, for such things, Lumine’s first thought was this.

"You mean..."

Paimon’s eyes widened, and Lumine nodded.

Then, she walked up herself and knocked on the door three times with force.

"A traveler who has traveled from afar, wishes to meet the adeptus here! Requesting a response from the adeptus."

After all, she had experienced the tests of adepti.

Lumine was naturally already somewhat familiar with the routines of the adepti.

"Oh? A traveler from afar?"

"What do you come here for?"

This time, there was no longer silence from inside the door; a faint, cold, and aloof voice came from within.

Then, Lumine explained the purpose of her coming here in detail to the other party.

After she finished speaking, a cold snort was heard from inside the door.

"Hmph! Ignorant!"

"Coming here to disturb my cultivation is one thing, but you also hope to meet the Lord of Geo?"

"Since you have such thoughts, then pass my test!"

Cloud Retainer snorted coldly, and the door of the adepti abode suddenly opened, sweeping Lumine and Paimon inside.

After the two were swept into the abode, Jiang Yan and Morax appeared at the door at the same time.

"I have to say, Sister Cloud’s acting is quite convincing."

Jiang Yan sighed.

Cloud’s words just now could be said to have captured the aloof demeanor of an adeptus perfectly.

It left Jiang Yan stunned.

He had originally thought that Cloud was just going through the motions.

It turned out she was so serious.

Not bad, not bad!

"Haha, Cloud’s personality is just like that; she will do everything seriously."

"Since she said she wanted to test the Traveler and the others, she naturally has to test them seriously."

Morax chuckled and said to Jiang Yan.

"I know that, of course."

Jiang Yan nodded; having known Cloud Retainer for so many years, he had at least that much understanding.

"Speaking of which, you let Sister Cloud test Lumine and Paimon; aren’t you afraid they won’t pass?"

Jiang Yan looked at him with a smile.

"Then you don’t understand."

Morax shook his head.

"Based on my long-term observation, this traveler from afar has the ability to turn danger into safety, whether facing the tests of adepti or any dangerous situation."

"Moreover, although Cloud Retainer is serious in her work, I have also told her that the test must be measured."

"There shouldn’t be any problems."

Hearing Morax’s words, Jiang Yan also nodded.

As the protagonist of Genshin Impact, it is natural for the Traveler to have the ability to turn danger into safety.

Otherwise, how could they be the protagonist?

As long as there are no major problems on Cloud’s side, it’s fine.

"Since that’s the case, then there are no major problems."

Jiang Yan stretched and then turned to Morax.

"Then what do you plan to do next? Just wait here?"

Morax shook his head and said:

"Naturally not."

"I’ll go find a place to stay later."

"Are you coming with me, or are you going to watch here for a while?"

Seeing that Morax seemed to be leaving.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Yan said to him.

"Then I’ll go with you."

"Anyway, I have nothing to do."

Jiang Yan didn’t intend to stay here to watch Cloud Retainer’s test of the Traveler.

After all, he had already experienced it in the game before.

Jiang Yan thought this should be about the same.

Therefore, Jiang Yan staying here would only increase his boredom.

Morax didn’t say anything, just nodded.

Then, Jiang Yan followed Morax and left.

Heading toward the place they had agreed upon with Cloud Retainer earlier.

Because the Traveler is still undergoing Cloud Retainer’s test, for Jiang Yan and Morax.

Time is not that urgent.

It’s just right to chat on the way.
