Genshin Impact, the spear remains.
Chapter 336 Lingering While Enjoying the Scent of Flowers
After some fuss, Mona finally changed her clothes and went with the others to the location where the client was.
Perhaps realizing that her outfit was inappropriate, Mona changed out of her evening gown with black stockings and into clothing commonly seen in Mondstadt.
Ying also left her white travel outfit at home, but seemingly having a special fondness for white, the blonde girl still chose a white short-sleeved shirt and a sports skirt that didn't go past her knees as her travel attire, making her look like a girl next door, youthful and lively.
From afar, Paimon, who was floating in mid-air, saw a girl sitting on a bench under the windmill with her eyes covered by a strip of cloth, her hands clasped together, listening to the words of the person in front of her.
Standing in front of her was a Knight of Favonius with short blue hair, confirming with her the things the other party had asked him to do.
"I've taken care of what you asked for. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Yura crouched down to make the blind girl hear more clearly.
"Yes, thank you, Miss Knight."
Upon hearing this, Gloria gave the other person a big smile.
If it weren't for this kind-hearted Knight of Favonius passing by, she would have really been stumped.
"Miss Gloria!"
Upon hearing someone call her name, Gloria immediately pricked up her ears and carefully tried to pinpoint the source of the sound.
The sound grew louder as it approached, and Paimon drifted toward the girl's location.
However, it wasn't until she was halfway there that the female knight's face came into full view, causing her to gasp in surprise.
"excellent--"
Before she could finish speaking, Yura reacted quickly and covered the little one's mouth with her hand.
"Waaaaah..."
Yura shook her head at Paimon and made a shushing gesture to her lips. Paimon nodded, indicating that he understood.
Yura then released her grip, allowing Paimon to breathe again.
Seeing this, Bai Qiyun shook his head, ignored the two people beside him, and walked to the blind girl.
"Miss Gloria, we are agents commissioned by the Adventurers' Guild."
The boy's voice was so unfamiliar that Gloria hesitated to speak for a moment.
After a while, the girl finally looked up and gazed toward the source of the sound.
Of course, all that met the eye was the same darkness as always.
"Yes, if possible, please bring the items here as requested in the letter of authorization. I have entrusted the payment to Miss Catherine, and you can collect it yourself upon completion."
Although that's what she said, seeing that the other party was unable to see, Bai Qiyun, who always valued mutual benefit, was not very willing to accept the other party's payment.
Mona, who had come with the intention of getting paid, didn't find anything wrong with it and agreed immediately.
It's a deal.
The group headed out of the city, and Bai Qiyun glanced at Mona's profile with a subtle look.
"What? Do you think I'm heartless?"
"Well... how should I put it..."
Although the boy didn't say it aloud, his expression revealed his thoughts.
Seeing this, Mona rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.
"Please, we complete the commission and receive payment through legitimate channels. Since the other party has chosen to do it this way, it means that Miss Gloria approves of this method. Following the procedure and not treating her differently is the best way to handle this."
The girl's confident words made Bai Qiyun back down a bit.
"That's true, but..."
"Alright, alright, the important thing is to finish the commission. Let me see... Hmm, I remember there are quite a few dandelions outside the city. Do you have any clues about the other two types?"
Mona took out the power of attorney and began to review its contents, her large eyes scanning the paper in front of her.
It was just some trivial collection tasks; she didn't need to lift a finger.
However, the reward was quite generous, amounting to a full ten thousand Mora.
"I do know where to find windmill daisies, but that place is quite far. Why don't you try using astrology to see where you can find them in Mondstadt?"
Bai Qiyun remembered that there were quite a few windmill chrysanthemums under the big tree where the wind started, but they were quite far away.
Upon hearing this, Mona raised an eyebrow.
Such trivial matters didn't bother her much, but what she cared about more now was...
His gaze swept over the group's sides, and the blue-haired female knight's figure followed them the whole time.
Mona didn't recognize the woman, but judging from her actions with Paimon earlier, it seemed that her two companions had dealt with her before.
After being stared at by Mona with a suspicious look for a while, Bai Qiyun felt a little thirsty.
Perhaps feeling out of place, Yura crossed her arms and said directly, "Don't look at me, I only came with you because I accepted Gloria's request."
The female knight remained as cold and aloof as ever.
However, the reason she was able to travel with the group this time was probably, as she said, because of Gloria.
Whether others believe it or not, Bai Qiyun does.
This guy and he didn't get along to begin with, and on top of that, he saw him acting out of character at the tavern that day. He's probably already being kind by not coming after him now, so why would he deliberately come over?
The relationship between the group seems unclear for the time being, but Mona didn't stop what she was doing.
She found a suitable spot, and with a flash of divine eye at her waist, a wisp of water slowly emerged from the girl's hand, eventually transforming into a roulette wheel.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
The roulette wheel is divided into inner and outer rings, and is engraved with many patterns that are incomprehensible to outsiders.
As Mona moved, the roulette wheel spun gently.
Instantly, a strange wave rippled out in front of everyone; though slight, it was quite noticeable.
Sensing this unusual fluctuation, Bai Qiyun touched his chin.
So that's how it is. This is what they call astrology. It's quite different from his legacy power and elemental power.
A moment later, as the girl stopped moving, the wheel formed by the convergence of water light gradually disappeared in mid-air.
"Astrology tells me that we'll find what we're looking for in that place."
Following Mona's pointing finger, a two-story villa stood there.
Across from it was Kun's fruit stand, which they had met several times before. Speaking of the building opposite the fruit stand, Bai Qiyun remembered that it should be a shop.
If he remembers correctly....
"Huh? Is this Flora's flower shop?"
Paimon exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Flora, who resembled a little girl but was actually an adult.
She had thought Flora was just a child, but she hadn't realized that Flora already owned her own shop in the capital of Mondstadt and was quite a successful person.
"Hoo hoo, yes."
Although she had never spoken to Paimon, Flora, who frequently dealt with customers and was adept at reading people, recognized the talking elf as the one who served the renowned Knight of Honor throughout Mondstadt.
The girl's gaze swept over the crowd: the blonde girl and the black-haired boy from Liyue.
So that's how it is. This is the famous Knights of Honor trio.
"Miss Flora, we would like to buy some starflowers and Cecilia flowers from you. Is that alright?"
Looking at the almost childlike face in front of him, Bai Qiyun felt a little awkward speaking, but he still handed over the form in his hand.
"Hmm, five windmill chrysanthemums and two Cecilia flowers, totaling nine thousand Mora."
After a quick mental calculation, Flora gave a suitable market price.
As the owner of a flower shop, she is extremely sensitive to the market, especially on days like the Flower Festival, when the price of flowers skyrockets. Not to mention that these are candidates for "Flowers of the Wind," so the price is naturally even more expensive.
"Wh...what!"
Upon hearing the final transaction price, Paimon couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Nine thousand Mora, doesn't that mean they have to give away most of their pay?
Seeing Paimon's surprised little face, Flora chuckled.
"Hehe, yes, this isn't me maliciously raising prices. The cost of flowers has doubled recently, and this is just the normal market price."
Upon hearing this, Bai Qiyun, who had previously accepted gathering quests at the Adventurers' Guild, naturally knew that what the other party said was true.
For these flower shops, there are essentially two ways to source their flowers: either they purchase them from merchants or they commission adventurers to collect them.
However, the first type was actually collected by adventurers commissioned by merchants, and at this time the Adventurers' Guild was short of manpower, so the price naturally rose.
But it's really hard to accept that prices have risen to this level.
Also, what is that "huhu" thing? Is it a recent buzzword?
Perhaps sensing their predicament, Flora's eyes lit up, and she came up with a good idea.
"However, I also have something I'd like to ask the adventurers for help with recently. If you can help me with this, I can give you these flowers for free."
There was no "whoosh" this time.
Flora turned around and carried out several potted plants from the shop, all of which were not particularly valuable varieties.
"I'd like to test the effects of low temperatures on flower preservation. If any of you can find a suitable place to test it for me, I can give you the flowers from the previous order."
When it comes to low temperatures, Bai Qiyun immediately thinks of Longji Snow Mountain.
However, the snowy mountains are too far from Mondstadt, and by the time they make it back and forth, the Windflower Festival will probably be over, so this location is out of the question.
Wait a minute, speaking of low temperatures, even artificially created environments are acceptable, right?
Thinking of this, Bai Qiyun slowly raised his head and looked at Yura, who was watching the scenery from the side.
The Eye of God with the ice attribute can create ice walls, freezing the flowers inside.
However, perhaps sensing Bai Qiyun's intentions, Flora shook her head.
"Hoo hoo, no, it has to be a real low temperature, only then will it be of reference value to me."
Really low temperatures? Then wouldn't that mean only snowfields? But the nearest snow-capped mountains would waste several days of travel time, which is really not worth it.
Bai Qiyun thought it over and over again, but did not rush to give his answer.
"No problem, a naturally low-temperature environment, right? I know of a place like that."
Unexpectedly, it was Yura, who had been silent all along, who took the initiative to speak up and help everyone out of the predicament.
Seeing the female knight's confident demeanor, Flora smiled and handed the flowers to her.
"It's settled then. Just leave it to me at this time tomorrow."
Naturally, the flowers, as a reward, were also given to everyone at that time.
Having secured the most crucial source of flowers, the group followed Yura to the place she had described.
Traveling north from Mondstadt, the group rode in a horse-drawn carriage across the vast grasslands.
Incidentally, this carriage was brought back from the Wolf Territory by the Knights at Bai Qiyun's request, and he is still renting it.
My dear reader, there's more to this chapter! Please click the next page to continue reading—even more exciting content awaits!
Bai Qiyun sat on the outside of the carriage, driving it and leaving the interior space to the girls.
"Yura, where is the place you're talking about?"
In the somewhat awkward atmosphere, it was Paimon, with his naturally outgoing nature, who broke the strange silence.
Yura, who was leaning against the corner, had no intention of speaking, but she couldn't help but take out a map from her backpack and make a mark on it with her elemental power because everyone's eyes were on her.
"This is where I used to train. In order to hone my control over ice elemental power, I specifically found a cave that could suppress the overflow of icy power. It is cold all year round. Although there is no snow, it is cold enough to freeze and preserve food."
The female knight's markings were very clear, but the location on the map seemed somewhat familiar to Ying.
She had accidentally wandered into that place once before while traveling.
In addition, the direction the carriage was traveling...
"Is it a freeze-thawed tree?"
Upon hearing this, Yura nodded.
"I didn't expect you to know about that place too."
There lies a slumbering, icy tree imbued with immense power. However, to preserve the unique terrain, Yura did not uproot it but instead left it to grow.
The cave, which is perpetually shrouded in the power of ice elements from nature, is the place that best matches Flora's description.
"Speaking of which, why did you cover my mouth earlier, Yura?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually cooling down again, Paimon quickly tried to find another topic to talk about.
"You mean just now? I just didn't want Gloria to know who I am, after all..."
Yura chuckled self-deprecatingly halfway through her sentence, unwilling to continue.
Seeing his appearance, Paimon's nerves tightened.
Did she say something wrong again?
Sensing the change in atmosphere, Ying gave Paimon a reproachful look, only to find that he was giving her an innocent expression.
This guy.
"Speaking of the Frozen Tree, doesn't its elemental power affect its freshness?"
The girl's words pulled Yura back from her thoughts.
"No, the Cryo Tree takes environmental factors into account when choosing a habitat. In other words, the environment must exist first before the tree can grow. Only then will the Cryo Tree feed back its elemental energy to its environment. As far as the overall environment is concerned, its impact is not significant."
At this point, Yura smiled, a rare occurrence for her.
The female knight had exquisite features and fair, jade-like skin. A gentle breeze stirred her hair, making her look like a painting of a beautiful woman by a master artist.
For a moment, Ying was lost in thought.
The carriage sped across the plains, Bai Qiyun tightened his grip on the reins, and, with flowers and a young girl in tow, headed north.
I love Genshin Impact, the spear remains Genshin Impact, the spear remains Genshin Impact.
