Chapter 206 Mona's Financial Difficulties
Jiang Xun used a special method to search for Mona's location and returned all the way to Mond. All directions pointed to a place outside Mond. Jiang Xun appeared here and easily saw a female figure with a witch hat on her head.
Mona was concentrating on looking at the information in front of her with a frown on her face. It was obvious that she had encountered some difficulty. Perhaps she was thinking too deeply that she didn't realize someone was coming behind her.
"Good morning, Miss Mona!" Jiang Xun's greeting interrupted the train of thought of this talented astrologer. She subconsciously curled her lips, as if to express her dissatisfaction with being interrupted.
But the next moment she seemed to recognize the voice of the person who came, and then her frown relaxed a lot. Seeing this, Jiang Xun knew that he came at the right time.
"Good morning, Mr. Jiang Xun, I hope I haven't disturbed your life." Mona's attitude towards Jiang Xun was obviously different from that of others. Rather than calling him a friend, she regarded Jiang Xun more as a teacher.
"If you had come earlier, I might not have had time, but it just happened that I have just finished it now." Jiang Xun replied with a smile. His tone was calm, trying to ease Mona's nervousness.
As it turned out, his actions really worked wonders, and Mona's originally tense face relaxed a lot.
"This may be the unique intuition of astrologers. Without saying anything else, the purpose of my inviting you here is..."
Jiang Xun waved his hand, signaling Mona not to continue. He probably knew the other party's purpose: "No need to say more, just tell me what you don't understand. I have a lot of time, and you don't have to worry about wasting my time."
Mona opened her mouth, but her words were interrupted by Jiang Xun. However, after listening to him, an expression of shame appeared on her face.
"Well, the content of alchemy you gave me is too rich and profound. I... I haven't finished reading it yet." As she spoke, Mona lowered her head silently. She was a little afraid to imagine Jiang Xun's expression at this moment. "
Mr. Jiang Xun must think I'm stupid...
"Why is that?" Jiang Xun touched his chin. It turned out that he came to him to solve his confusion.
"Actually, the old lady... is my master and she wants to talk to you."
"Your master?"
Jiang Xun originally thought it was for some other reason, but this reason was really beyond his expectations.
"Witch Barbiros, what does she want from me?"
"Do you know my master?" Mona was a little surprised to hear the old woman's name from Jiang Xun. After all, in this era, not many people knew her name. According to the old woman, some gods might not even know of her existence.
"Not that I know them. After my last chat with Alice, I spent some time learning more about the witch community."
"Hehe, actually I don't know either. I'm just responsible for passing the message." Mona almost choked on her saliva, but then she explained.
"Of course, whether you are willing or not depends on your wishes. If you don't want to, I will tell her right away." Mona said as she was about to start contacting, probably thinking of contacting Barbiros.
"No, no, no, I am very interested."
Jiang Xun had a hunch that the other party couldn't have simply wanted to get to know him, but it was most likely that Alice, who was also a witch, had said something to the other party, but what was it?
"That's great, please follow me." Mona said and prepared to lead the way.
"Don't worry, I saw you frowning just now, why don't you tell me what difficulties you have encountered, maybe I can help you."
He was in a pretty good mood right now, and was willing to offer some help to the little astrologer. He just didn't know whether the other party was willing to let him help.
"Oh! No, no, it's just a small matter, no need to trouble you." Mona waved her hands repeatedly when she heard it, a little surprised that Yu Jiangxun would take the initiative to offer to help her solve the problem.
"In that case, please lead the way." Seeing that the other party didn't want to intervene, Jiang Xun was too lazy to delve into it. Anyway, he had already made his meaning clear. If she didn't want his help, then that was her business.
Following behind Mona, the other party had not spoken a word, as if he was caught in some ideological struggle. After a while, Mona said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I haven't had enough Mora recently..."
The voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum. If Jiang Xun's hearing had not been imperfect, he would not have been able to hear what she was mumbling.
So that's what happened. Jiang Xun smiled. No wonder she felt embarrassed. Money issues are always a hurdle that people cannot avoid.
As long as she is still within the system of the Seven Kingdoms, as long as she still has material needs, she cannot escape this problem even if she is an astrologer.
"As for Mora, I still have quite a bit here and can lend it to you first." Jiang Xun replied.
This money was the reward given by the other party for helping Nilu retrieve the performance materials last time. It was said that it was a commission from the ticket sales of the performance. Although he did not want to accept it, he could not resist the girl in the end and accepted it.
Mora is dispensable to him now, and he would not feel bad even if he gave her away completely. He said this in order to make the other party accept it. If he expressed his willingness to give it away, with Mona's arrogance, she would surely not accept it.
"Really... Um, I mean, thank you, I will return it as soon as I get the royalties!" Mona did not choose to be reserved after hearing this. After all, she was really short of money now, let alone the old lady.
In order to do research, she often needs to spend a lot of money on purchasing experimental equipment, and sometimes she doesn't even have money for food. Fortunately, the Deer Hunter Restaurant often has some unsold ingredients.
It’s not like you’ll starve to death.
"Don't be in a hurry to pay it back. Pay it back when you are able to do so." Jiang Xun waved his hand and did not bring up the topic again.
After resolving the economic crisis, Mona's mood improved a lot. Along the way, she chatted with Jiang Xun about various things, and the main topic was about alchemy.
Although she didn't finish reading it, she did read a lot. Although she didn't read much, she had a lot of questions.
This is normal. Not everyone has the help of a system like him. Even Albedo, the Son of Chalk, encountered many difficulties in learning alchemy.
Jiang Xun returned all the way back to the house that Mona rented in Mond. After entering the house, he saw a huge crystal ball on the table. There were twinkling stars inside. Each starlight was like a star, as if the entire starry sky was received in this huge crystal ball.
"Please wait a moment. I will contact the old lady...Master."
Mona then summoned the water divination plate and gestured with her fingers on it.
