Genshin Impact, the spear remains.

After registering with the Adventurers' Guild, Bennett and Catherine learned Bai Qiyun's name and background.

"Oh, and please take this with you."

Catherine took out something that looked like the Eye of God, but it didn't have many elemental traces on it.

"This is?"

Bai Qiyun took it with some hesitation, examined it carefully, but didn't find anything interesting.

"This is an intelligence gathering device used exclusively by the Adventurers' Guild. It can record intelligence along the way during a mission and needs to be returned after the mission is completed."

—So, it's something used to monitor whether I'm cheating, right?

Holding the item, Bai Qiyun casually tucked it into his waistband.

"That's good."

He patted his pants, smoothing out the wrinkles.

"Then I wish you both a safe journey."

Amidst somewhat formulaic blessings, Bai Qiyun and Bennett began their induction test.

The two found a shady spot under a tree and began to discuss the exam process and information.

"So, what should we do?"

This was Bennett's first time leading someone to an exam, so he didn't have much experience.

"You don't know how to do it either?"

Two boys of similar age stood under a tree, looking at each other.

Bennett felt a little embarrassed; as a caregiver, he didn't even know the procedures, which was quite a dereliction of duty.

"Um... I didn't take the membership test back then."

The white-haired boy looked embarrassed.

No tests have been done? Is it because you have the Eye of God?

That's great; people with divine eyes have privileges everywhere.

Bai Qiyun stared blankly at the Eye of God hidden under Bennett's coat hem.

"Actually, I know what the three specialties listed on the commission look like."

He refocused his attention and turned his attention back to the test.

"But I'm not really sure about their exact growing locations."

There's nothing we can do about it; after all, he's from Liyue, and he hasn't paid much attention to Mondstadt's specialties.

"Hehe, I know what I'm talking about. Want some—"

"That won't do. Asking the caregiver about this would probably be considered cheating."

Bai Qiyun patted the recorder hanging next to him.

After seeing his actions, Bennett realized what was happening.

"What should we do then?"

"Hmm... let me think. By the way, do you have any place here where I can look up information?"

"Looking up information? Oh, you mean a place to read books? Yes, of course, there is a library at the Knights of Favonius headquarters. Everyone likes to borrow books from there."

A library? Mondstadt has such a thing?

Bai Qiyun was genuinely surprised. Even though the facilities outside the city were not as comprehensive as those in Liyue, such facilities existed inside the city.

It's hard to say whether Mondstadt people value knowledge or don't have high expectations for people's livelihood.

"Alright, take me there quickly."

In fact, Bai Qiyun had figured out the difficulty of this exam from the very beginning.

The real challenge isn't collecting the three local specialties; it's about achieving the goal through legitimate means.

If he had asked the caregiver directly, he probably would have been out of the game.

Moreover, if there were no restrictions, he could simply buy the goods directly from the merchant, or even go further and place the same commission in front of Miss Catherine, and reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

However, none of these methods met the purpose of this investigation, so after a little thought, Bai Qiyun rejected them all.

"arrive!"

As the two walked and talked, they unknowingly approached the headquarters of the Knights.

"Wow, that's quite majestic."

Facing this tall building, so different from the other buildings in Mondstadt, Bai Qiyun squinted as he observed its appearance.

Most buildings in Mondstadt are two or three stories high, which is already taller than the average building height in Liyue Harbor. This tall building in front of us is probably four or five stories high... or even taller.

Moreover, there were several huge windmills around, which were already quite large, but they paled in comparison to the Knights' headquarters.

Passing through the headquarters building of the Knights of Favonius, one can vaguely see the even more magnificent Church of Favonius in the Plaza de la République behind it.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a country with a strong religious faith.

Bai Qiyun had never seen anything like this in Liyue. The most powerful thing he had ever seen was the Jade Pavilion of that white-haired woman.

After passing the guards at the entrance and showing their identification, Bai Qiyun and Bennett were able to enter the Knights of Favonius building as they had hoped.

Upon entering the building, Bai Qiyun couldn't help but look around.

The interior is clearly decorated in the Mondstadt style, with a large, interconnected hall leading to all the rooms.

Perhaps because it was summer, almost all the room doors were open, except for the one with a sign that read "Solitary Confinement" hanging above it.

Because ventilation and heat dissipation are needed.

This allowed him to clearly see the movements in each room.

Suddenly, my gaze fell on the room located at the entrance of the Knights' headquarters.

A somewhat mature-looking blonde woman was sitting behind a desk, engrossed in processing documents. Beside her lay a small mountain of paper documents.

He looks very tired.

However, out of politeness, Bai Qiyun glanced at it casually and then looked away.

He followed closely behind Bennett to the only room on this floor guarded by a knight.

It seems this place isn't as easy to come and go as Bennett claimed.

Whether it was deliberately built inside the Knights' headquarters or guarded by dedicated personnel, both demonstrate that the Knights' leadership highly valued this library.

However, perhaps because Bennett's reputation in Mondstadt was too "famous," the knight did not check his documents, but only asked a few questions and let it go.

But Bai Qiyun didn't have that privilege. He had to honestly lay out Liyue's travel documents and border entry certificates one by one, waiting for the knights in front of him to verify them.

"Hmm, it should be fine, let's go in."

After the routine procedures, the knight did not make things difficult for the Liyue person, and simply let Bai Qiyun pass as he would for anyone else.

—Oh dear, I didn't expect it to be so relaxed outside, but so strictly guarded here. Does it mean that people's work ethic is different depending on their position?

Bai Qiyun opened the library door and followed Bennett inside.

At first glance, it was filled with all sorts of books.

From top to bottom, from left to right, the entire place was crammed full of bookshelves.

Only a few people and tables and chairs remained.

Moreover, even though it's clearly the first floor from the outside, this library has a basement level, which shows that the library's space is not strictly restricted by the outside world.

Looking at the study, which was full of Mondstadt characteristics, Bai Qiyun was somewhat at a loss.

It's not his fault; after all, the places in Liyue that sell books are mostly stalls and bookstores, not public facilities like libraries.

He was given so many books all at once, he didn't know where to start looking for them.

However, just as he was puzzled, the Mondstadt people had anticipated this situation and therefore specially assigned librarians to the library.

As he searched for books in a wider area, he naturally came across the librarian.

"Witch"

Even though Bai Qiyun had never met anyone who fit this description, the word came to mind the moment he saw the other person.

She was a mature and voluptuous woman who looked to be only in her early twenties. Although her age didn't match her maturity, that was the only description he could give her.

A purple witch's hat was casually perched on her head, and brown hair draped over her face. Her jewel-like emerald green pupils, however, seemed utterly lifeless. Behind her witch's robe, she wore a pair of alluring, sheer black stockings, making her the very embodiment of 'seduction'.

"That's... Miss Lisa, the librarian."

Bennett quietly introduced the person in front of Bai Qiyun.

Librarian?

Bai Qiyun looked at the woman in front of him with some suspicion.

Putting aside her appearance and figure, the gleaming lightning-attribute divine eye hanging on her chest proclaimed that she was not someone to be trifled with.

The Knights of Favonius have become so extravagant that even librarians are now appointed from among those with the Eye of God.

Or is this place so important that it needs to be guarded by someone with the Eye of God?

In an instant, Bai Qiyun went through all the possible guesses in his mind.

However, neither of these situations is relevant to him now; he's just here to borrow books.

Therefore, no matter how mysterious and dangerous the other party seemed, he had no choice but to go over.

"Excuse me, where can I find a book about Mondstadt's specialties?"

Lisa had originally planned to spend her time at the library until closing time, just like usual, but she didn't expect that someone would actually come to borrow a book today.

You know, lately because of the dragon disaster, everyone is trying to stay home as much as possible. They really don't want to come to places like this where you have to return the books on time after borrowing them.

She raised her head, which had become somewhat rusty from lying down for so long, and looked at the two reserved-looking boys in front of her.

"Oh? A specialty of Mondstadt. Let me look for it."

The woman moved with extreme charm, stretching out her somewhat languid figure.

Although she was wearing gloves, it did not affect her movements at all.

The pages of paper turned one by one in her hands.

"Ah, found it, it's on the top of the third bookshelf on the left ahead."

Thanks to her detailed instructions, Bai Qiyun quickly returned with the books.

To avoid having too much interaction with the woman in front of him, he registered and then hurriedly left with Bennett.

Lisa pressed her entire body against the table, a mysterious smile playing on her lips, watching the two figures leave with great interest.

"Benet and a strange little guy? Looks like something interesting is about to happen."
