Genshin Impact, the spear remains.

"Take it. It's nothing valuable. Consider it a thank-you gift on behalf of those two guys."

Although Rosalia spoke lightly, Bai Qiyun could still sense the sentiment contained within the amulet itself.

Judging from its appearance, this thing had been worn close to the body for at least many years, and even the patterns on it were worn out. Moreover, he could faintly feel a chilling power wrapped around it, which could even be used to defend against enemies in critical moments.

"this..."

Just like they had done to Timmy before, Rosalia left without looking back before Bai Qiyun could even offer a polite refusal.

Seeing the nun come and go so quickly, Bai Qiyun had no choice but to stuff the amulet in his hand into the backpack behind him, so that it could keep Yandora company.

As dusk fell, fewer and fewer people were on the streets. Even though the group wanted to continue strolling around, they didn't know where to go. They could only continue wandering aimlessly through the streets, making sure that by the time they got home, one of the astrologers who was rushing to finish her manuscript would be asleep and wouldn't be disturbed.

Along the way, the group did indeed pass by many acquaintances they had met once before.

There was Lady Adrin, the head maid of Dawn Winery, who came to Mondstadt to buy fruit; Quen, who was about to close up shop after selling his fruit; and the young couple Marvin and Mara, whom they met on Starcliff.

Marvin, who had previously seemed somewhat timid, now appeared to have a touch of masculinity, and Mara seemed much more proactive than before.

The young girl strolled along the street arm in arm with her sweetheart, completely oblivious to the stares of those around them.

It seems that the dragon calamity completely shattered the barrier between the two, allowing their relationship to evolve once again.

Mara rested her long hair on her boyfriend's shoulder, scolding Marvin for his carelessness during the Windflower Festival project.

Marvin, despite being scolded by his girlfriend, showed no sign of anger. Instead, he seemed to enjoy the uninhibited way they were communicating.

The Flower Festival, with its atmosphere of freedom and love, has made people much bolder in their speech and behavior.

"Oh dear, honey, I was wrong just now."

"Who are you calling 'darling,' you rascal?"

?

The couples passing by didn't recognize Bai Qiyun and his group at all, continuing to whisper sweet nothings to each other as they walked away until they disappeared around the street corner.

Goodness, after this trip, I haven't even finished digesting my dinner yet, and I've already been stuffed with fresh dog food. I really don't know what to say.

While Bai Qiyun was still stunned by what the couple said, the girls on the other side reacted very quickly.

Ying gently took Paimon's little hand, raised her eyebrows slightly, and imitated Marvin's tone from earlier.

"Honey, I was wrong just now."

On the other side, Paimon reacted quickly, immediately capturing the essence of Mara's expression from just now.

She was taut at three points, yet still very delicate at seven.

"Who are you calling 'darling,' you rascal?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two guys burst into uncontrollable laughter, leaving Bai Qiyun speechless.

"Hey, it's very impolite to mimic what others say behind their backs."

After being lectured by the boy, Ying stuck out her tongue at Bai Qiyun, then turned and slipped away with Paimon.

Is this guy a child?

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

On the grass outside the city, Paimon was chewing on snacks she had just bought from a street vendor. It was hard to tell how her seemingly small belly could hold so many snacks.

Looking at the boy's profile, Ying gently turned her head away.

"Are you still worried about what Yura mentioned?"

Although the Chamber of Commerce's affairs were none of their business, Bai Qiyun was still somewhat concerned about them.

If a more lenient approach had been taken at that time, or if Granny's strange behavior had been noticed earlier and an investigation had been launched, would the outcome have been different, and the little girl who never met her father would not have had to lose him?

Whenever he thought of this, Bai Qiyun could only sigh deeply to relieve the depression in his heart.

"I guess so. It feels too coincidental. And if we count from the end of the Dragon Disaster, it's probably been about two months. The amount of money involved is probably astronomical, and the clues are even more complicated. Even if the Knights wanted to investigate, they probably wouldn't be able to find a clue for a while."

It's likely that Yura drank too much at the bar, partly due to family matters and partly due to recent work troubles.

Come to think of it, being splashed in the face with water by someone wouldn't make you very happy.

Thinking about what he had done to Yura in the Adventurers' Guild project, Bai Qiyun suddenly understood why she hadn't given him a friendly look.

He would probably have done the same.

"Since you care so much, why not just be generous and help her out?"

With a lively sound, the scout knight jumped out of the bushes, startling the group.

"What's going on? Oh, it's Amber."

Paimon, who had almost dropped the snacks, steadied himself and breathed a sigh of relief.

The little guy looked at the newcomer, a fiery red-clad female knight standing alone under a big tree, leisurely and carefree.

As expected of a scout knight, his ability to conceal himself was so great that even Bai Qiyun, who always had exceptional insight, did not notice him.

However, compared to Amber's outstanding professional skills, he was more concerned about what the girl had just said.

"You mean Yura needs help? That girl seems incredibly domineering, how could she possibly accept our help?"

Although they had only known each other for a short time, Bai Qiyun's understanding of Youla was not superficial; he had genuinely explored her personality and background.

The old nobleman Lawrence was the culprit of the dark ages in Mondstadt a thousand years ago. After being expelled by the great hero Vanessa, Lawrence's people became unpopular and even hated in Mondstadt.

It's easy to imagine that Yura, who grew up under such circumstances, is definitely not someone to be trifled with, not to mention that the two of them are not very close at present, so rashly interfering would only backfire.

"Hehe, Yura is a good person, but she does seem a bit awkward, but we can try to approach her from other angles."

"Other places?"

"That's right. For certain well-known reasons, she usually delegates tasks like these that require communication with others to her subordinates, so we just need to ask Gaza."

Amber spoke those chilling words with an air of self-righteousness, making Bai Qiyun feel ashamed.

But then again, it seems that even being a Knight of Favonius cannot erase the influence of one's former noble status.

"In that case, we might as well go."

Bai Qiyun nodded, agreeing with Amber's suggestion.

As long as he doesn't have to deal with that temperamental woman, it's fine.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"So that's why you came looking for me?"

Looking at the group of people who had suddenly come to visit, Gaza lowered his head and pondered for a while before giving them a big smile.

"No problem, after all, there's strength in numbers."

Seeing that Gaza agreed, Amber, who had brought everyone to interfere in official business without permission, breathed a sigh of relief. It would have been awkward if she had been rejected.

"Then, tell us about the specific findings of your investigation."

In a house in Mondstadt, a group of people gathered together, listening to Gaza recount the investigation into the incident.

It turned out that since Grandi's death, the already turbulent power struggle within the Chamber of Commerce had intensified. The functions previously controlled by Grandi were delegated to three people, and it was during their handling that one sum of money after another disappeared.

However, when the Knights investigated further, they found the matter to be very strange. Mora was missing a lot, but they could not find a single clue. The records and procedures in the ledgers were complete and matched up, which made the members of the Knights feel a little confused.

Could this Mora possibly grow wings and fly away?

"It doesn't sound like a case at all; it sounds more like a mystery."

Bai Qiyun became increasingly confused. Even the authorities hadn't been able to investigate properly. Were these businessmen really that cunning?

Fortunately, Dawn Winery has close ties with the Chamber of Commerce. Perhaps fearing that Diluc would investigate further, the Chamber of Commerce's missing payments had no connection to the winery's business. This also prevented Diluc from interfering from another perspective.

The impact on Mondstadt's wine industry is not significant.

"You saw the person Yura was following today, right? He's one of the three suspects. He's in charge of purchasing, while the other two are in charge of transportation and sales. If any one of these three links has a problem, it can affect the entire operation of the chamber of commerce."

After chatting for a while, Gaza took out several exquisite teacups from the cabinet and handed them a few cups of hot water as a gesture of hospitality.

While drinking hot water, Bai Qiyun pondered where to begin.

The three people have different responsibilities, but logically speaking, the transportation part is least likely to be affected, while the other two may have more problems.

More importantly, it's unclear whether these three individuals acted in concert. If they were truly determined to work together, the investigation would become significantly more difficult, and there would be no way to uncover any inside information.

If we're really talking about the Chamber of Commerce...

"I still need to go ask Diluc."

Hearing the boy's almost exclamatory words, Paimon was completely bewildered.

"But this matter has nothing to do with Dawn Winery, does it?"

"That's right, but even so, if we want to get involved in the Chamber of Commerce, we still need a middleman, and Dawn Winery is the best helper."

This whole thing was strange from beginning to end. Bai Qiyun guessed that Diluc might also be curious about it, but he just didn't have a reason to get involved.

Moreover, he, who has always disliked the Knights, would not offer them any help. This is where those with flexible identities need to step in.

A smile crept onto the boy's lips, making Ying shake her head helplessly.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The angel's gift and the return of the group caught the bartender's attention. Diluc, who had been out on business, also returned to the bar and watched the people coming and going.

The combination of the Order of Knights and the Knights of Honor seems quite intriguing.

It was already night, and the tavern was crowded with people; a few people standing together looked a bit cramped.

Looking at Diluc's expressionless face, Bai Qiyun didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment, while Paimon on the side was more proactive.

"Lord Diluc, have you heard about what's been going on with the Merchant Guild lately? We'd like to ask for your help."

Bai Qiyun's eyes twitched at Paimon's undisguised words.

They went straight to the point right away; it's really a bit...

"no problem."

To everyone's surprise, Diluc agreed without hesitation, much to the astonishment of the others.

They were all prepared to lobby, but they never expected things to go so smoothly.

Seeing the various expressions on everyone's faces, Diluc sighed.

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

"Let's go somewhere else, it's too crowded here."

Then, led by Diluc, the group went to a quiet corner on the second floor.

It's just that with so many people sitting around a table, it looks a bit crowded.

After everyone was seated, Diluc slowly began to speak.

"To be honest, Dawn Winery has recently run into some trouble with the Chamber of Commerce."

"Huh? Even Dawn Winery is having problems!"

Paimon's voice involuntarily rose, startling Ying, who quickly covered the little guy's mouth with her hand.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiyun understood why Diluc had so easily agreed to their requests.

It turns out it involved their own business.

Even so, if it weren't for him and Ying coming to ask for his help, but instead the Knights came alone, the man in front of him would probably have preferred to investigate alone rather than agree to the Knights' request.

"That's right, this is what Charles told me about before. This afternoon, a batch of raw materials destined for the winery disappeared into thin air, along with the goods and the truck, right at the winery's gate. It's unbelievable."

Diluc unusually spoke at length, but the content of his words caused the people present to frown deeply.

This is getting more and more bizarre; it feels like it's escaping reality and turning into something like ghost stories or supernatural tales.

"At first I didn't believe it either, but when I asked the winery's servants, they all gave the same answer. Unfortunately, I wasn't there at the time and couldn't witness it myself."

Bai Qiyun took a deep breath and began to sort out his somewhat chaotic thoughts.

The clues are currently divided into two parts: the first is the three people in the Chamber of Commerce who are under Grandi's supervision, and the second is the strange events that have occurred at the Dawn Winery.

If there is any connection between the two, it is probably the person in the Chamber of Commerce who is in charge of transportation.

But that person was drinking at Angel's Gift at noon today. He and Yura both watched him leave, and before that, the winery's goods had a problem, so it seems it had nothing to do with him.

As Bai Qiyun rubbed his palm with his fingers, he pondered where it would be most appropriate to begin.

To determine the direction of the investigation, he continued to question Diluc about the previous question.

"Speaking of which, was the transportation of that batch of goods handled by the Chamber of Commerce or the winery?"

Goods from the Chamber of Commerce are usually handled by members of the Chamber.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiyun's eyes narrowed slightly.

It seems we should start here.

I love Genshin Impact, the spear remains Genshin Impact, the spear remains Genshin Impact.
