"Master Jiujo, the letter written to you by the second young lady has arrived." At this time, a servant outside the door knocked on the door and said.

"A letter from Tsumugi?" Upon hearing this, the anger on Kujo Sara's face disappeared visibly, and he said to Alice, "Ms. Alice, if you have nothing else to do, please leave. As you can see, I still have some things to do."

"Oh……"

Upon hearing this, Alice tactfully left Kujo Mansion.

Tsumugi... where are you?

Hearing the familiar name, Alice couldn't help but think of her lover. More than ten years ago, Tsumugi said that she was going to Liyue Harbor to persuade Ketzlaine to come to Qingquan Town together, and then she left Mondstadt.

In the following years, she would occasionally write letters to update them on her progress, but from one day on, Alice never heard from Tsumugi and Katzrein again.

The two seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

After confirming that Tsumugi and Katzrein were missing, Alice originally wanted to leave Mond to look for them as soon as possible, but as luck would have it, Alice's clone was successfully hatched at this time.

Alice named her clone "Klee" and took care of her for several years. After confirming that Klee had grown up enough to live without her, Alice entrusted her to Albedo and traveled alone through the seven countries looking for Tsumugi.

However, several years have passed and Alice still has nothing.

I really hope this is just a bad prank of Tsumugi... Alice prayed sincerely in her heart.

At this time, at the northernmost tip of the continent of Teyvat, in the ice and snow palace of Winterfell, the Fatui executive officers silently walked out of the meeting hall.

"I didn't expect that it only took the lady such a short time to obtain the Heart of Barbatos and the information about other gods. It seems that we still need to work harder." The fifth seat of the Fatui executive officer, 'Rooster', a short old man with pointed ears and a pointed nose, said in a gratified tone.

[“Lord Rooster is right, but isn’t the team heading to Liyue to take Morax’s Heart of God a little too large?” Pantalone, the ninth seat of the Fatui, the ‘Rich Man’, said.]

[Originally, the Ice Queen only wanted to send Rosaline, who had successfully obtained the Heart of the Wind God, to Liyue, but the third seat "Girl" Columbia jumped out at this time and volunteered to go to Liyue. The reason was that Morax had a large number of immortals under his command. If a conflict broke out, Rosaline, who was weak, might not be able to escape unscathed.]

[In addition to Columbia, even the "doll" Sandone, who has never left the winter since joining the Fatui, also came to join in the fun and asked to go to Liyue, which really shocked everyone. ]

[If the "girl" had a reason to go to Liyue, then the "doll", the director of logistics R&D, had no suitable reason to go to Liyue, and Sandonie really couldn't give a reason, so he had to go to Liyue in a way that was almost rogue. ]

[Until the end, the Ice Queen couldn't stand it anymore, and considering that Sandonie had worked hard for so many years, she stopped asking questions and just let her be.]

[As a result, except for the "Prince" Tartaglia who was already in Liyue Harbor, the "Lady", the "Doll", and the "Girl" all had to go to Liyue Harbor. Of the eleven executive officers, nearly half went directly there.]

[But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that it makes some sense. The "Young Master" is a martial arts fanatic, and it is unrealistic to expect him to accomplish anything. The "Lady" is good at all kinds of conspiracies and tricks. In addition, she successfully obtained the Heart of the God of Wind, so she is more experienced. The "Girl" is powerful and can protect the "Lady". As for the "Doll"... it should be no problem for her to be an assistant. ]

[“Let’s go to Mondstadt first, transfer there, and then go to Liyue Harbor.” Rosaline suggested. Although she was usually arrogant, facing these two colleagues who were more powerful than herself, Rosaline knew that she should restrain her personality. ]

[“Okay.” This is a very normal route, so Columbia did not object. ]

[What Columbia didn't notice was that after she agreed, Rosalin and Sandone's eyes flashed with joy.]

[This way I can stay with you for a while longer, Master Tsumugi. 】

Tsumugi Kujo currently has no idea that the Shura Field is about to arrive. At this moment, she is holding a treasure chest and looking worried.

In a month it will be Mondstadt's Brew Festival. To celebrate this grand festival, everyone in Mondstadt has begun preparing for the festival. There is a tradition of treasure hunting at the Brew Festival. People put precious things and blessings into a treasure chest, and then leave clues to the treasure chest on the message board, so that someone will follow the clues to find the treasure chest.

Originally, this event had nothing to do with Tsumugi Kujo, but when Eula saw her growing the sedge and taking care of her child (Klee) all by herself, she forced a treasure chest on Tsumugi Kujo.

As a result, in order to place this treasure chest, Kujo Tsumugi flew all the way to Mondstadt.

but……

Thinking of the treasures he stored in the treasure chest, Kujo Tsumugi gave a cunning smile.

I'm really looking forward to seeing other people's expressions when they open the treasure chests...

After placing her treasure chest, Tsumugi Kujo walked on the streets of Mondstadt. Compared to when she went to the Whispering Forest a month ago, Mondstadt had become a little depressed.

Because it takes about a month and a half to travel back and forth between Mondstadt and Liyue Harbor, many merchants will make one last business trip before the Brew Festival begins. In another half month, Mondstadt should become lively.

However, some merchants with sharp noses did not make this trip because they noticed that the venue for this year's Wine Festival was not in Qingquan Town as in previous years, but in a remote place like Whispering Forest.

These merchants could not guess what Mond was going to do, but they could also sense that this year's Wine Festival would be different from previous years. Some people were still waiting and watching, while some bold merchants had already taken out loans from the newly established Mond Bank to purchase goods and do business.

Seeing people constantly coming in and out of Mond Bank, Kujo Tsumugi nodded with satisfaction.

This way I can make money.

In his spare time, Tsumugi Kujo used the gift skill of the earth veins to see what Ying was doing recently, and found that she actually ran to the Wolf Territory to trigger Lei Ze's mission, and was having a hot fight with Andrius at the moment.

Hmm...use wind attribute to attack Andrius.

Then, I should also think about how to make money in this wine festival.

Tsumugi Kujo was thinking while eating at the Deer Hunter Restaurant.

“Hey! Noelle!” Tsumugi Kujo stopped Noelle who was running on the street and scolded her in a slightly stern tone: “Why didn’t you come to Whispering Forest to find me recently? As my personal maid, you are really derelict in your duty!”

“Sir Tsumugi, I’m so sorry!” Noelle immediately bowed and apologized. “I wanted to go find you after I learned where you were from Captain Qin, but when I saw how tired she was, I unconsciously went to help her again… I’ve been helping Captain Qin investigate cases recently, so I really don’t have time to look for you.”

"Investigating a case? What case? Tell me about it. Maybe I can help you."

Tsumugi Kujo has the skill Gift of the Earth, so there is no need to investigate who the murderer is, you can just use the skill to find out.

"It's like this. About a month ago, the synthesis table of the Mondstadt Alchemy Workshop was suddenly stolen. Now all alchemy work in Mondstadt has come to a complete halt!" Noel said anxiously.

Tsumugi Kujo: (O?O)

"Master Tsumugi, why do you have this expression... Could it be..."

“Hahaha, this…”

Tsumugi Kujo took out the synthesis table in the God's Eye space with some embarrassment.

"I just borrowed it and forgot to return it."

"Tsumugi! Master! Do you know how I've been through this month investigating this case?" Even the good-natured Noel got a little angry when he thought about what he'd been through in the past month.

"Sorry, sorry. I'll give you a vacation, half a month's vacation."

It is during this time that Kujo Tsumugi thinks carefully about how to make money, and once he has come up with a solution, he will let Noel do it.

"Then I'll go see Captain Qin first." After saying that, Noel carried the synthesis table and left.

After Noel left, Tsumugi Kujo's smile gradually disappeared and she became serious.

Five hundred years ago, every alchemist could get his own synthesis table. But today, five hundred years later, there is only one synthesis table in the whole of Mondstadt?

Alchemy has fallen into such decline... People nowadays can't even build a synthesis table, right?

Influenced by the memories of the Sims, Tsumugi Kujo lamented the decline of alchemy.

Tsumugi Kujo did know how to make a synthesis table, but with the current level of development of alchemy, it would be useless even if so many synthesis tables were built, because alchemists nowadays are rarer than giant pandas. In the entire Mondstadt, there is not even a single alchemist except Albedo, which shows to what extent alchemy has declined.

If possible, promote alchemy while making money in the future. Not to mention restoring it to the level of Kanreya, at least don't let it decline to this extent.

Kujo Tsumugi made a silent decision in her heart.

Chapter 187: Continuing to cheat people and... Kujo Tsumugi's past

Next to the base of the Knights of Favonius, there is a piece of open space of moderate size. This is the training ground for apprentice Knights of Favonius, and it is the place where Irene performs daily tasks in the game.

Of course, Irene is not the only one in the real training ground. Today, a team of Knights of Favonius is conducting one-on-one combat training here. In this team of Knights of Favonius, Diona, who has short pink cherry hair and black, white and orange cat ears and tail, is particularly conspicuous.

Diona, who possesses the Ice God's Eye, naturally does not need to accept one-on-one tactical training from others, otherwise it would be too bullying. When others are training, Diona's task is to add a shield on the side to prevent anyone from being accidentally injured.

"Yohoo! Dio-na-chan!"

"Huh?! Wow!!!"

Tsumugi Kujo jumped out from behind Diona and patted her on the back, which scared her.

"So it's you. Why are you walking without making any sound?"

Because I didn't even come here.

Tsumugi Kujo answered in her heart that she had just used the teleportation technique she learned in The Sims to teleport here from dozens of meters away, so of course Diona couldn't hear her footsteps.

As for Tsumugi Kujo who recommended her to join the Knights of Favonius and rise to a high position and then implement the prohibition of alcohol, Diona thought that she was a comrade who hated alcohol as much as she did, so she had a good impression of her.

"Dio Na, are you interested in joining me in destroying Mond Wine during this Wine Festival?"

Tsumugi Kujo immediately came up with a reason that Diona couldn't refuse.

"Great! What's your plan?" Sure enough, Diona took the bait immediately.

After hearing Diona's answer, Tsumugi Kujo smiled and said, "I specially prepared a super unpalatable wine to make everyone lose interest in wine. Isn't this a good plan?"

"Isn't this exactly what I was thinking before..." Diona immediately lost interest upon hearing this, and the big tail behind her drooped down weakly.

"That's different." Tsumugi Kujo began to deceive people. "This is Mond's annual Wine Festival. If the people of Mond drink bad wine on this special day, they will definitely lose their appetite. The Wine Festival will become deserted, and people's desire to drink will decrease. With fewer people drinking, the Mond wine industry will naturally be destroyed, right?"

"Is...is that so?"

Diona tilted her head, feeling that there was something wrong with what Tsumugi Kujo said, but at the same time, she felt that there was nothing wrong.

"Of course! I have made a complete plan. Now all I need is some unpalatable wine. However, I can't drink, so I can only ask Lady Diona." Kujo Tsumugi said with a flattering look on his face.

"But the training of the Knights..."

"It's okay, I'll just tell Qin and I'll keep a seat for you."

"OK then."

Diona, who had not yet experienced the dangers of society, agreed to Kujo Tsumugi's conditions.

"Then I'll go make wine now." Diona said and walked away step by step.

Hehe, when the wine festival comes, I will be the only one selling Diona’s special blend on my stall. Won’t it sell out?

Looking at Diona's back, Tsumugi Kujo gave a cunning smile.

By the way, I also need to think about how to alleviate Diona’s hatred of alcohol.

After that, let Diona serve as the deputy captain or captain in the Knights of Favonius. After all, she is the descendant of Ketzlein, so she should be taken care of a little.

After fooling Diona, Tsumugi Kujo wandered around Mondstadt until the evening. After making sure that there was nothing more to do here, he planned to return to the Whispering Forest. However, before he could spread his wings, he heard a delicate cry from afar.

“You ahhhhhhh—”

Hearing the familiar voice, Tsumugi Kujo sighed and turned her head, and a certain angry astrologer immediately grabbed her shoulders and shook her violently back and forth.

"Didn't you promise me that you would give me free divination? Why are you charging me?"

Sooner or later, you will have to pay for your misdeeds, but Kujo Tsumugi had already prepared herself to be discovered, so even when facing an angry Mona, she remained calm.

"It is true that divination is free, but it is normal to charge a certain fee for making an appointment to meet with an astrologer."

Kujo Tsumugi shrugged innocently.

"This goes against my principles!"

"Then you can pay the penalty and withdraw from the Knights of Favonius. Mond Bank happens to have a loan business."

"you……!"

Seeing Kujo Tsumugi's expression, Mona, who was already very angry, became even more angry.

"Mona-chan, can I ask why you insist on not using astrology to make a profit? You should know that if you give up this principle, you can also live a comfortable life."

"…Astrology is a noble cause. If you use it to make money, you will be reluctant to tell the real divination results to customers who spend a lot of money."

So that's how it is. To put it bluntly, it is to prevent yourself from becoming a money-hungry person, so you set up an insurance for yourself.

"..."

Tsumugi Kujo originally wanted to persuade Mona to give up this principle, but after she opened her mouth, she couldn't say anything.

Giving up materialistic life for the sake of ideals... The pleasure-loving Kujo Tsumugi simply cannot understand an idealist like Mona, just like a materialist cannot understand an idealist.

"Well, Mona, what is your purpose in coming to see me?"

"I want to quit the Knights of Favonius!" Mona shouted.

"That's fine. Do you want to pay the penalty directly to me or give it to Captain Qin? You also have to settle the bill for the stargazing equipment and books that the Knights bought for you."

"You..." Mona's face turned pale with fright when she heard this. How could she have the money to pay the expensive penalty?

"Are you planning to quit the Knights without paying the penalty?" Tsumugi Kujo deliberately said in an exaggerated tone, "No way, no way, the famous Mona-sama would not do such a despicable thing."

When it comes to being weird, Kujo Tsumugi has never been afraid of anyone.

"I……"

"I will pay for Lord Mona's breach of contract."
