"Wow, it's you, and Miss Rita. I was just about to go. Lisa said that Qin was a little unwell recently, so she gave this task to me."

Amber was a little surprised as she didn't expect to meet Rita and her group.

"Oh..." For some reason, Miss Sarah next to her suddenly sighed.

"Ms. Sarah... why do you still look so distressed? Don't worry, the strength of the scout knight will not let you down."

Amber guessed that Miss Sarah might not believe in her own strength. She also said so. She was still very confident about clearing out the Hilichurls.

"That's not the case. I don't doubt your ability, but there are too many orders right now..."

Miss Sarah quickly waved her hand and said that she didn't mean that, but their restaurant just received too many orders.

"Then leave it to me. Is there anything I can help you with? Miss Sarah."

Because the commission to clean up the hillbillies had been taken away by Amber, Ying felt obligated to help Miss Sarah solve the problem. She even patted her somewhat barren chest.

Rita: “…”

Are you going to be...a delivery man?

Listening to their conversation, Rita couldn't help but guess this.

And she felt very strange, why did they have to solve even this kind of problem?

"Great! You are truly a benefactor to the deer hunters. Then this new order will be given to you. Let's start by collecting the ingredients! We need three portions of sweet flowers and three portions of poultry meat."

Sarah didn't expect the traveler to be so sensible, so she quickly stated her request.

Rita: “…”

At this point, Rita didn't know what to say. She even wondered if there was something wrong with her.

How could such a commission exist in this world?!

Will I have to ask Ying to cook those ingredients later? That shouldn't be the case...right?

Thinking about how Qin, as the leader, had to do some small things personally, Rita felt that this was not impossible.

"give it to me."

"Then let's..."

"Rita, you are probably not familiar with the various places in Mondstadt, right? For example, where are the sweet flowers more abundant, and where is the easiest place to get poultry meat?"

"Hmm...I'm not familiar with it."

Although she didn't know why Ying asked her this, Rita still shook her head and answered her question truthfully.

But after saying this, Rita suddenly remembered that there were many pigeons on the stone bridge outside the city.

"That's right. After all, Rita, you haven't been here long. I've been here for a very long time. I can walk all over Mondstadt even with my eyes closed. I know the distribution of various materials by heart. Not to mention food, I even know about ores."

Nodding with satisfaction, Ying put her hands on her hips and continued to talk about what she knew about Mond.

pop-

"Then you must have spent a lot of time on it, that's amazing—"

Rita was still somewhat impressed by what Ying said, and even couldn't help but applaud. She knew how difficult it was.

"So... leave this matter to me, and you can go back to the Knights' headquarters first."

After saying that, Ying didn't wait for Rita to say anything and ran straight out of the city.

"Eh..."

Watching Ying leave, Rita was a little confused. She thought it would be better if there were more people to handle things, why did she have to do it alone?

"Rita, I'm leaving now."

There was no choice but Paimon to follow.

That's fine, let's go back to the Knights' headquarters to check the situation...

Silently waving to Paimon, Rita walked towards the Knights' headquarters.

Knights Headquarters.

office.

"No, there is no useful information left here."

Standing up from the ground, Wendy shook her head.

From the beginning till now, he and Kaiadiluk have carefully searched the entire Knights' headquarters and its surroundings, and even questioned nearby residents under the pretext of catching a thief, but still found nothing.

Moreover, as the last place where Captain Qin appeared, there was nothing suspicious left in the office, let alone any strange elemental power. Only that strange note was left.

Of course, even so, they still locked on one place, which is the Wine Lake that surrounds the entire Mondstadt city.

This is because if you climb out of the window inside the Knights' headquarters, you can jump into the Fruit Wine Lake in just a few steps, and then get ashore and leave Mondstadt without being noticed. This is currently the most likely way.

However, in addition to jumping into the Fruit Wine Lake, you can also climb through the window to a high place outside and then use the Wind Wings to fly to the Wolf Territory. In this way, you will not leave any traces, but you may be seen by people in the wilderness. But the premise is that Qin left on her own or someone coerced her, after all, the Wind Wings can only be used by one person.

Alternatively, they could go out of the window to the open space outside the city, then go around most of Mondstadt in a clockwise direction to the small port where the Knights of Favonius were stationed, but this method was more likely to be discovered by the knights on duty there.

In addition to these, there is another way, which is to use the ice-attributed Eye of God to continuously spread ice on the surface of the lake in order to achieve the purpose of leaving here without anyone noticing.

These are the most likely options they have discussed so far.

"Since Lord Fengshen has not made any further discoveries here, we can only go out to the Fruit Wine Lake and the surrounding shores to see if there are any clues."

Seeing that Venti didn't find anything here, Diluk had to pin his hopes on searching outside.

Now Kaia is gathering the knights of the Knights Templar in the name of catching a thief, because the Fruit Wine Lake and its surrounding area are too large, and they must have more manpower.

As for Jean's appearance, Wendy said that she could use the power of the wind element to temporarily transform into her appearance, so they dared to summon the knights in this way, otherwise it would be easy for people to notice that something was wrong.

"In that case, you guys will be in charge of the outside, and I'll be in charge of the inside of the city."

Holding the list of Qin's acquaintances, Lisa prepared to investigate them secretly.

"Is it Wendy's fault again?"

Suddenly, Wendy remembered the strange girl who gave him tens of millions of Mora.

He knew that if it was her, then they really wouldn't be able to get any useful information.

Wendy is off work...

Rita, who was walking to the door at this time, thought the same thing immediately after hearing Wendy say this.

"Who?!"

"It's me, Rita."

Rita, who was about to knock on the door, said this quickly after hearing the sound coming from inside.

squeak--

After Rita said her name, the office door was opened from the inside by Wendy.

"Miss Rita, nice to see you again."

"Yeah, long time no see, Mr. Wendy."

Rita bowed slightly to Wendy and greeted him as she did before.

"It looks like you guys are discussing Captain Qin's affairs. Have you found anything?"

Rita asked the same question because she heard some noises outside the door. She wanted to see if they had any important discoveries.

"These are the possibilities we just discussed. We're going to search outside later."

Wendy said the same thing as she handed Rita a piece of paper recording several results of the discussion just now.

"Then I'll help too."

After quickly reading the above content, Rita said she could help.

squeak--

"I have the manpower ready. Do you want to start now?"

At this time, Kaia walked in.

"Let's get started—"

Diluk, who couldn't wait any longer, immediately walked out the door after hearing what Kaeya said. He knew that only by finding Jean as soon as possible could he ensure her safety to the greatest extent.

Looks like it's time to give them some hints...

Following Diluk, Rita couldn't help but think so.

Fruit wine lake.

evening.

"Okay, everyone, thank you for your hard work, let's go back--"

On the plain bathed in the sunset glow, Wendy, transformed into Qin, said this to the knights who were already exhausted.

From just now until now, they have conducted a large-scale search around Fruit Wine Lake and also interviewed nearby residents, but still have not obtained any useful information.

In addition, it was already late, so there was nothing they could do and they could only reluctantly end the search operation.

"We have basically searched all the places we should look for, but..."

Wendy and his group walked at the end of the team, while Diluk, who was at the front of the group, suddenly stopped and looked at the surface of the Wine Lake.

Because of his stop, several people stopped, and they knew what Diluk was thinking.

"Don't think too much, we will definitely find her."

Patting Diluk on the shoulder, Venti, transformed into Jean, continued walking towards Mondstadt.

In this way, several people returned to Mondstadt.

-------------------------------------

Deer Hunter Restaurant.

"Rita, this way—"

When Rita was walking alone towards the dormitory arranged for her by the Knights, Paimon stopped her.

Paimon? And Ying and Amber...

Rita heard the sound and turned around to find Yingzheng and Amber eating at the Deer Hunter Restaurant.

"It looks like you guys just finished a commission."

When she walked near Ying, Rita found that her clothes were much dirtier than before, and there was dense sweat on her forehead.

"Yeah, because Qin has other things to do, so all those commissions fell on us. I'm so exhausted, I don't know how Qin handles so many things by herself on a normal day."

At this time, Paimeng was lying directly on the table, looking very tired.

"Ms. Rita, do you want to join us?"

"No, I have other things to do. You guys eat first, I'm leaving."

In response to Amber's invitation, Rita said she still had things to do.

I'll send them a letter later...

As they walked along the road, Rita had already thought of a way to give them a hint, but she would wait until night to act.

After all, night is when snakes are most active.

Outside the North Gate of Mondstadt

night.

Alas...why can’t I float?

Looking at the lake at night, Urfa really couldn't understand why the boats he built kept sinking.

what is this?

"Come and help me~"

"Ah! Ghost!"

Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back, coupled with that cold girl's voice, and Urfa was so scared that he ran away without even the courage to look back.
