Genshin, No sad stories

Trading was risky; robbing the Fatui was a better option. 

After Jiang Chen's analysis, Lumine gave up on the idea. 

"Alright!" 

"If that's the case, then forget it." 

It was indeed as Jiang Chen said. Right now, they had no idea what the situation in Liyue was like. 

So, forget about trading for now. 

She didn't want to lose the money she had worked so hard to earn. 

After eating and drinking their fill, the two of them went back to rest. 

They had to hit the road early the next morning. 

So there was no need to linger outside. 

Plus, there wasn't much entertainment here, so everyone just went to bed early. 

While the two of them were resting, inside the Goth Grand Hotel, 

La Signora was glaring at the two people in front of her with a dark expression. 

She suppressed her anger and stared at them intently. 

"So, you still haven't found any information yet?" 

La Signora was furious, and the consequences would be severe. 

Although they had already heard about Barbatos, they couldn't find any concrete information. 

"Sorry... Lady Signora." 

"Only the higher-ups in Mondstadt know about Barbatos." 

"And our people haven't reached that level yet..." 

The Debt Collector lowered his head as he spoke. 

They couldn't find Barbatos at all. 

"Useless!" 

"Go and find him." 

"No matter what it takes, I want to know where Barbatos is right now!!" 

La Signora was livid. 

Right now, she really wanted to storm into the Knights of Favonius and force them to reveal Barbatos' whereabouts. 

But she couldn't do that. 

If she did, it would cause a diplomatic incident. 

The matter of collecting the Gnosis couldn't be done openly. 

If it were brought into the open, it would be a formal declaration of war against Mondstadt. 

At that point, the Grand Master, who was out on an expedition, would probably change course and head straight for Snezhnaya, right? 

Mondstadt striking Snezhnaya? 

What a perfect excuse!! 

The Debt Collector trembled in fear. 

La Signora's intimidation was no joke. 

"Get out." 

Seeing the two trembling individuals, La Signora waved her hand dismissively, signaling them to leave. 

"Yes!" 

The two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. 

They didn't dare linger any longer and quickly retreated from the room. 

After they left, La Signora fell into deep thought. 

Where was Barbatos? 

Although she had heard that Barbatos had reappeared, there was no concrete information. 

Because those guys were keeping it too tightly under wraps. 

They hadn't released any information at all. Not even the identity of the Honorary Knight had been revealed yet. 

Thinking of this, she felt extremely frustrated!! 

Was her mission going to fail? 

If she couldn't find Barbatos, how could she obtain the Gnosis? 

Jean and the others also felt that with the Fatui present in Mondstadt, and even an Harbinger among them, it was inappropriate to reveal specific details. 

This indirectly hindered La Signora's search for Barbatos. 

In the game, Lumine ran around everywhere and publicly repelled Stormterror. 

Plus, Venti was also tagging along. 

That's why Barbatos was targeted. 

But now, because of Jiang Chen, none of that had happened. 

So, La Signora couldn't find any trace of Barbatos. 

Right now, Barbatos was still trapped in the hotel by Jiang Chen's wine. 

So it would be quite difficult for La Signora to find Barbatos. 

In fact, if Barbatos didn't reveal himself, La Signora might have to stay in Mondstadt for the rest of her life? 

It could only be said that this mission was off to a bad start. 

... 

The night passed without incident. The next morning, Jiang Chen and Lumine woke up, checked out of the hotel, and packed everything into their storage bags. 

Then they began preparing for their journey. 

Traveling from Mondstadt to Liyue would take them about half a month at their speed. 

After all, reality wasn't a game. 

Getting to Liyue wouldn't be that fast. 

And this was only because Jiang Chen and Lumine weren't ordinary people. 

Otherwise, for regular people, traveling to Liyue with inconvenient transportation could take a month or even two. 

Before setting off, Jiang Chen needed to stock up on food and other supplies. 

They didn't want to be searching for food in the wild. 

So they had to be fully prepared. 

Just as the two of them were stocking up on supplies and preparing to depart, 

They ran into Amber again. 

However, this time she was with another beautiful girl. 

Wasn't this Eula? 

"Jiang Chen, Lumine!" 

"Good morning!" 

Jiang Chen saw them, and they also noticed Jiang Chen and the others. 

Eula also looked over with a curious gaze. 

The Honorary Knight? 

Were these the two Amber had mentioned before? 

They were the ones who had resolved the Stormterror crisis. 

Thinking of this, Eula sized up the group. 

"Good morning!" 

"Amber, who's this?" 

Jiang Chen also smiled and greeted her. 

At the same time, he pretended to ask who this was. 

"This is Eula!" 

"She's the Spindrift Knight of the Knights of Favonius." 

"Eula, these two are Lumine and Jiang Chen." 

Amber happily introduced everyone. 

"Hello!" 

Eula nodded at the two of them, acknowledging their presence. 

They weren't familiar with each other, so there was no need to be overly enthusiastic. 

Besides, once they fully learned her name, they would probably look at her the same way the people of Mondstadt did, right? 

In that case, there was no need to be too friendly. 

"What are you guys planning to do?" 

"Want to have breakfast together?" 

Amber invited them to have breakfast together. 

"No, thanks." 

"We're planning to head to Liyue." 

"So we're preparing some supplies." 

"We'll come back here when we have time." 

Jiang Chen directly declined. 

They wouldn't have breakfast together. 

They still had to hit the road soon. 

Hearing this, Amber was stunned. 

"Huh?" 

"You're going to Liyue?" 

So suddenly? 

Amber was completely caught off guard. 

"That's right!" 

"Lumine still needs to search for her brother." 

"Plus, there's nothing left for us to do in Mondstadt right now." 

"So we're planning to set off early." 

"The Rite of Descension is about to begin over there. Maybe we'll see something interesting." 

Like, for example, the Geo Archon falling from the sky or something? 

The sooner they got there, the sooner Jiang Chen could buy a house. 

Then he could find Zhongli and team up with Childe to freeload off others. 

That wallet was over there. It would be a shame not to take advantage of it. 

"Alright." 

"Please remember to come back and visit when you have time." 

"I was actually planning to take you guys around today." 

"I didn't expect you to be leaving already." 

Amber was a bit disappointed. 

"It's fine. We'll have a chance next time." 

"For now, you should focus on handling your own matters." 

"After all, you're pretty busy right now." 

Jiang Chen wasn't too concerned. 

Right now, there wasn't much fun to be had in Mondstadt. Klee was grounded, so Jiang Chen hadn't even gotten to see her. 

That was a bit of a regret. 

They could do it another time.
