Genshin Impact, the spear remains.

"These two..."

A blonde girl with tiny fairies floating around her. Isn't this the legendary Knight of Honor?

Diona stretched her tail behind her and perked up.

"If I'm not mistaken, you two are the Honor Knights duo who have recently become famous in Mondstadt. What brings you here so late?"

The catgirl's delicate voice was like spring water with honey added; just listening to it felt like eating a delicious dessert.

"We're looking for Mr. Drouet. Is he in?"

"Dad? He just went out. If you want to find him, go check under the windmill in front."

Diona, her fair hands reaching up to the back of her head, scratched her head in confusion as she stood before the crowd.

What could the legendary Knight of Honor possibly want with her father?

Having obtained the specific information, Ying wasted no time and pulled Paimon toward the large windmill standing there.

"You two go ahead first, I'll go find somewhere to stay nearby."

Bai Qiyun did not follow the two. If he understood the situation, he wouldn't need so many people. For him, finding a place to stay for the night was the most important thing.

The boy stood beside the catgirl, watching his two companions gradually disappear into the distance.

"Hey, didn't you say you were going to find a place to stay?"

After Ying walked away, Diona looked at Bai Qiyun beside her with an impatient expression.

Her appearance reminded Bai Qiyun of the female cat in his backyard, who would become irritable at this time of year.

He always keeps his distance from it when he passes by the backyard, otherwise he'll get scratched.

"This is my first time here, I should at least ask someone for directions first."

Seeing Bai Qiyun's naked, undisguised gaze, Diona knew that she couldn't escape this task today.

"Sigh, come in."

The cat-eared girl walked ahead, nonchalantly leading this person she had only met once into her home.

After taking a few steps, there were no more footsteps behind him.

She glanced back curiously and found that Bai Qiyun was still standing there, not following her.

"What are you still standing there for?"

"oh oh."

Surprised by the other party's unpretentious manners, Bai Qiyun was momentarily speechless.

Normally, unmarried girls in Liyue would not invite a man into their home alone, especially if he is home alone.

But this is Mondstadt, so perhaps the customs are different.

There were shoes for guests at the entrance, and Bai Qiyun carefully changed into them.

Diona's house was just an ordinary house, filled with some daily necessities, and various kinds of game hung around the walls.

Wild rabbits, wild boars, and the like were processed and placed on the wall, perhaps to be taken out to air dry when the time came.

The room wasn't big. Bai Qiyun stood there and looked around, taking in everything around him.

"please."

He had just sat down at the table in the living room when Diona brought him a glass of hot water.

I never expected this seemingly arrogant little guy to be so polite.

Bai Qiyun took the slightly hot water glass and took a small sip.

"If you're looking for a place to stay, you can walk along this road and ask Brock. I remember they have some spare rooms at their house."

Before the boy could speak, Diona had already asked him what he wanted to ask.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two became somewhat awkward.

The catgirl picked up the water glass she had taken for herself, and the icy spring water seeped through the glass, sending a chill down her spine.

The reason she gave Bai Qiyun hot water before wasn't because she liked drinking hot water, but because she did it out of respect for his customs.

If she had to choose, she preferred the cool, icy spring water, which would help her cool down on this hot summer night.

A moment later, the catgirl put down her water glass and squinted at the boy opposite her.

"You want to ask more than just what you just said, right?"

Although they had only met once, judging from the rumors about that honorary knight in Mondstadt, the person accompanying that honorary knight should not be a simple person either. In addition, considering what her father had been talking about recently, Diona had a general idea of ​​the trio's purpose.

"Um."

Bai Qiyun straightened his body.

Since Diona has made it clear, he no longer needs to hide it.

Diona was right; he did want to get some information from her, after all, she was a possessor of the Eye of God.

Although Mr. Dulaf is the mayor of Springvale and the leader of the hunter group, he does not have the Eye of God, and in some details, he may not have observed as thoroughly as his daughter.

----------

After leaving a cheap landlord behind to find a place, Ying grabbed Paimon and headed to the place Diona had mentioned earlier.

A huge windmill stands in the center of Qingquan Town, and it looks like it is a device related to water delivery.

When they first arrived, Ying and Paimon noticed that the huge fan blades were very eye-catching.

"Mr. Drouot!"

Unlike Mondstadt, the town of Springvale is not brightly lit in the summer evenings; only a few buildings have one or two streetlights underneath.

In the dim light, Dulaf was still pondering the problem.

"Oh? It's you guys."

Despite being interrupted by Paimon's energetic voice, Dulaf didn't seem annoyed at all.

The middle-aged hunter turned around and placed the bow and arrows he was holding on the grass to the side.

"I didn't expect you two to come at this time. What brings you here?"

Paimon rubbed his hands together, a broad smile on his face.

"Actually, we heard about the strange things happening in Springvale from Beatrice and promised to come and help. We happened to be free recently, so we came over to see if we could be of any help."

Without letting Paimon speak again, Ying stepped forward and explained the whole story to Dulaf.

"Beatrice..."

As he rubbed the stubble on his chin against his palm, Dulaf mentally considered how to tell the other person about it.

"It would be great if you two were willing to help, but we have already investigated many times before, and all of it has been fruitless."

Just as Beatrice had said before, he led his men to search for clues near the spring under the cover of night, but they found not a single trace. Even now, he couldn't tell Ying any information he wanted to.

"Actually... we do have some clues here."

Ying recounted the previous incident involving Apple to Durov.

"Such a thing really happened?"

Upon hearing about the apple, Dulaf frowned.

However, this is not his fault. Even Ying did not notice the apple's abnormality at the beginning, let alone these ordinary people without the God's Eye.
