Chapter 32 Preparing for Battle

Dealing with the Anemo Hypostasis wasn't an easy task.

Even with the security behind them, Wang Daoyi didn't dare to be careless.

After agreeing to Lumine's commission, Wang Daoyi began his preparations.

There was no information about the Anemo Hypostasis in the library of the Knights of Favonius, or at least not on the surface.

So Wang Daoyi could only rely on his memories from his past gaming experience to do some research.

First and foremost was the Wind Glider.

The Anemo Hypostasis was an aerial unit, so if they didn't have Wind Gliders, even if everyone had the strength to defeat the Anemo Hypostasis,

As long as the Anemo Hypostasis remained in the sky, everything would be in vain.

However, the issue of the Wind Gliders was easy to solve. The Knights of Favonius would cover all expenses for this operation, so asking them to prepare two Wind Gliders was a simple matter.

As for whether he and Xiangling could handle the Wind Gliders well, Wang Daoyi never even considered it. With the Knights of Favonius behind them, could they really fall off?

After solving the issue of the Wind Gliders, the next step was how to deal with the overwhelming barrage of Anemo Element attacks from the Anemo Hypostasis.

Although he had confidence in the defensive power of the Geo Constructs, facing an entity like Beth at the level of a Divine Spirit, Wang Daoyi felt that he might still lack a bit of skill.

But, if strength was lacking, technology would make up for it.

Don't forget, he used to be a member of the treasure hoarders, and mixing elemental bottles was his specialty.

Of course, the elemental bottles used by the treasure hoarders would definitely not be able to harm the Anemo Hypostasis Beth, a divine spirit-level entity.

However, the purpose of the elemental bottles was not for attacking, but for making a small tool.

Among the seven elements in Teyvat, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Dendro, and Cryo all had various elemental reactions with other elements, while Anemo and Geo only had diffusion and crystallization reactions.

And Wang Daoyi wanted to use the crystallization reaction of the Geo Element to create a small tool.

First, make a crystal bottle with Yin and Yang sides.

Then inject highly concentrated other elements of Geo into the Yin and Yang sides of the crystal bottle, respectively.

As long as the crystal bottle was broken when the Anemo Hypostasis attacked,

The high-concentration elements inside would collide, and then instantly produce a crystallization reaction.

And these crystal shields could provide at least 15 seconds of defense time,

Of course, considering the Anemo Hypostasis' Wind Ball attack, it might not be able to last for 15 seconds, but just prepare a few more elemental bottles.

You can greatly increase the safety of everyone.

Taking out pen and paper, Wang Daoyi calculated for a while. Considering the strength of the Anemo Hypostasis, Wang Daoyi believed that at least 10 units or more of concentrated elemental reactions were needed to form a crystal shield strong enough to resist the Anemo Hypostasis's attacks.

Silently calculating the price, Wang Daoyi sighed. Fortunately, the Knights of Favonius were footing the bill; otherwise, he really couldn't afford it.

A crystal bottle with Yin and Yang sides can be replaced with a glass bottle, which can be produced by Mondstadt's alchemy workshop and is not expensive, costing about 100 Mora each.

But high-concentration elemental fluids are a different story.

Because high-concentration elements can corrode ordinary people, and they are also necessary for making high-grade items, so these are classified as high-risk controlled substances.

One unit costs 1000 Mora, and there is a purchase limit.

But Wang Daoyi didn't care now. Anyway, it was all covered by the Knights of Favonius, so there was no harm in trying out his idea.

After studying with Zhongli for so long and reading so many books, and now having a scapegoat, Wang Dao Yi began happily deducing his crystal shield elemental bottles.

Finally, Wang Dao Yi determined the cost of the crystal shield elemental bottle.

A glass bottle engraved with mastery runes,

It allows the user to sense the high-concentration elemental fluid inside the bottle, and prepare to trigger the crystallization reaction in advance. If the user is very familiar with the crystallization reaction, they can even form a stronger crystal shield through the runes.

Engraving runes increases the cost, from the original 100 Mora to about 200 Mora, provided there is an alchemy master in Mondstadt who is proficient in rune engraving.

Considering Albedo's existence, there should be many alchemy masters in Mondstadt.

In addition, 9 units of high-concentration Geo Element fluid are needed. This stuff is the hardest to obtain, after all, high-concentration Geo Element is basically rock crystal, and it needs an alchemy master to extract and refine it.

Finally, one unit of Hydro, Cryo, Pyro, or Electro elements fluid is needed as a catalyst to trigger the crystallization shield.

A crystal shield elemental bottle costs about 10,200 Mora.

Looking at his deduced crystal shield elemental bottle, Wang Daoyi nodded in satisfaction; now the operation to exterminate the Anemo Hypostasis would be safer.

After that, he told Xiangling, who was busy experimenting with new dishes in the kitchen, that he was going to the Knights of Favonius to handle some matters, and then left with his drawings.

Arriving at the Knights of Favonius, he happened to see the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, Jean, chatting with a blond youth in a windbreaker.

"That's right, I might be going to hunt the Anemo Hypostasis in the next few days, so I need you to take care of Klee again!"

"No problem. Originally, Miss Alice entrusted Klee to my care. It just so happens that I'm going to the Dragonspine to conduct experiments these days, so I can take Klee to play for a few days."

"That would be great. It hasn't been quiet around here lately, and I dare not let Klee go out alone. She's been in the confinement room for several days now."

"I'll go pick up Klee later. However, Grand Master Jean, the Anemo Hypostasis is, after all, a servant of the Anemo Archon. Are you prepared?"

"The Knights of Favonius don't have many people available right now. Commander Varka took away most of them. This time, only Master Diluc and I will be going to hunt the Anemo Hypostasis, but the Traveler will also be going. She has also found two helpers from Liyue. In addition, there is also a bard. I think it should be enough."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Wang Dao Yi also recognized the blond youth, or rather, he only looked like a youth; in reality, he was quite old.

The Son of Crepus, Albedo.

The Chief Alchemist of the Knights of Favonius.

He once demonstrated amazing alchemy to the citizens of Mondstadt, turning a flower on top of a grass slime's head into ashes, and then blossoming a Cecilia flower from the ashes.

It was at that moment that many Mondstadt residents joined the field of alchemy.

Seeing him in the Knights of Favonius, Wang Daoyi felt even more confident in his crystal shield elemental bottles.

"Knock knock knock..."

Polite knocking on the door of Jean's office attracted the attention of the two conversing inside.

"You are... the helper from Liyue that the Honorary Knight found!"

Looking at Wang Daoyi, Jean remembered who he was with his powerful memory.

"Yes, I didn't expect Grand Master Jean to recognize me!"

"I won't forget any friend who helps Mondstadt. So, Lord Wang Daoyi, do you have any business at the Knights of Favonius?"

Jean was a decisive person, skipping pleasantries and asking directly.

Wang Daoyi also didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his intention, introducing his crystal shield elemental bottles to the two.

Albedo nodded thoughtfully. He believed that Wang Daoyi's idea was feasible. Although it was a bit wasteful of Mora, in an important mission, Mora was the least important thing.
