After tracking for a certain distance, Paimon found that the guy had left the city gate, and she couldn’t help but hesitate.

If we keep chasing like this, we will miss the finals between Kaia and Timmy.

So they quickened their pace and chased them all the way outside the city gate.

Fortunately, after leaving Mondstadt, the man didn’t go far before he stopped and looked around furtively in a hidden place.

“Why did you come so far away? Could it be that you wanted to hide something?”

Paimon guessed: “Look at his appearance, he is still squatting on the ground holding his head…”

“Oh no! It’s the Treasure Thief Group! He’s been targeted by the Treasure Thief Group!”

“Why is there a treasure thief group so close to Mondstadt?”

Not far away, the guy was surrounded by several treasure thieves.

“Help!”

The guys surrounded shouted.

Ying did not sit idly by and rushed forward to deal with several treasure stealing groups.

Paimon flew next to the guy and asked, “Are you okay?”

The guy named Adrian let out a long sigh of relief, his face full of joy, “Oh, thank God, I thought I was going to explain it here.”

“Why didn’t anyone from the Knights show up?”

“Because all the knights went to play cards.”

“This man’s purple eyes are quite pretty.”

Charlotte asked: “Do you know those treasure-stealing groups just now? I always feel that they are just here for you.”

Adrian’s eyes were wandering and evasive, “How can we know each other! I was just… walking, and when I got here, I was surrounded by them for no reason!”

As a reporter, Charlotte noticed something instantly and narrowed her eyes slightly.

“Oh, in that case, they are targeting you, and it must not be because of some strange deal you made at the competition venue?”

“Deal?” Adrian was instantly startled when he heard the word, “I…I don’t understand what you are talking about.”

“Oh, this is difficult to handle.” Charlotte said leisurely: “I am a news reporter. When I was collecting information at the venue just now, I happened to use a photo camera to capture you secretly trading with another person.”

“Originally I just wanted to interview you, but it turned out that you were not only in trouble, but also denied the transaction just now.”

“Hmm… Wouldn’t it be better to give this evidence to the Knights?”

Charlotte touched her chin and said with a smile.

“Charlotte’s pink cut is undoubtedly black.”

“Pink fur has a dark underbelly.”

“No, there are also those that are cut and still pink (showing a devilish smile)”

Hearing Charlotte’s threat, Adrian instantly surrendered.

“Hey, don’t, don’t, don’t! I say! I admit it! This is really not a shameful deal!”

Seeing that Charlotte had convinced Adrian so easily, Paimon laughed in surprise and said to her: “Charlotte, this guy made up lies one after another, even though he didn’t take any pictures just now. .”

Adrian began to explain, “When I was at the venue just now, someone suddenly came over and said he wanted to buy the card back in my hand at a high price. I asked him how much he wanted to bid, and the amount the person quoted shocked me on the spot! ”

“Oh? What kind of card back is it?”

Charlotte asked curiously.

“It’s just…” Adrian said slowly: “I saw a set of card backs in a grocery store. It looked like a treasure chest. I bought it very cheaply.”

“In the end, the man paid three times the price for it and gave me cash on the spot!”

“I couldn’t believe it, so I wanted to run to a place with fewer people to confirm, but I didn’t expect to run into a treasure thief group…”

After hearing this, the water friends all guessed a lot.

“This is what a card collector is like (”

“Seno, I know it’s you, there’s no need to hide it.”

“Seno is a real hammer.”

“No, I don’t think Sano is someone who can’t tell whether a card is a particularly good one.”

Charlotte asked: “Did you ask him why he wanted to collect this deck of cards?”

“That’s not true…” Adrian shook his head, “‘Summon of the Seven Saints’ has been very popular recently. Everyone likes to spend some effort to make their cards look good. I don’t think there is anything strange about it.”

“However, after I memorized the cards to that person, he was relieved and said that if I finish collecting Mondstadt, I will go to Liyue or something…”

“Real or false?” Charlotte was a little doubtful, “Is such casual words credible?”

“Really, really! I did hear it!” Adrian said seriously: “When I handed the back of the card to him, he felt relieved, very sincere!”

“Is this card back…that valuable?”

Charlotte shook her head, “I don’t know if it’s worth it, but for your own sake

For your own safety, it would be better to report the situation to the Knights. ”

“It’s not a shady deal anyway, right?”

“Yes, yes, that makes sense. I’ll go tell the knights right now!”

Adrian ran away.

Looking at his back, Paimon said slowly: “From his description, it seems that the other person is just a person who collects rare card backs. Is he really the person you are looking for, Charlotte?”

Charlotte frowned and said, “There is still something not right. Is there really anyone willing to travel between countries and pay such a high price to collect a set of card backs from the grocery store?”

“My intuition tells me that there must be some secrets hidden behind this deck that we don’t know about. Hey, I smell it, this is the smell of ‘exclusive news’.”

Charlotte was looking forward to it and wanted to find out the secret behind it.

“It really does. I have seen it in the last version and the version above.”

“Seno, do you have any clues?”

“Dafeng Agency: I’m really looked down upon.”

Ying guessed: “Is it a treasure?”

“Treasure!” Paimon’s eyes widened instantly, “Does it feel like a treasure map? As long as you put all the backs of the cards together, there will be a secret path revealed!”

Charlotte said excitedly: “In short, it should be right to continue chasing this clue.”

“Although I didn’t see the person’s face clearly, his body and behavior were very similar to the ‘Card Thief’ I saw last time. He should be the same person.”

“I didn’t choose to take action directly this time. I’m afraid it was because there were so many people in the final venue that I chose a safer way.”

Paimon also said with some anticipation: “So, our next stop is Liyue, right? It’s great, we can see a lot of familiar people again.”

“But before that, why don’t you go say hello to Kaia? I also want to know who won the final.”

Charlotte also decided to go with them to have a look.

By the time they arrived at the competition site, the competition was already over.

The emcee is announcing the results of the game.

“…The winner of this Mondstadt Division of the “Summon King Grand Prix” is – Timmy!”
