It was almost late at night when the group returned to Mondstadt.
The streets and alleys were quiet, with the occasional roar of a drunkard coming from near the pub, making it even more deserted.
"Then let's say goodbye first." Noelle folded his hands on his lower abdomen, lowered his head slightly and said goodbye to Su Cheng.
Amber reminded, "Store manager, remember to prepare the elf ball for dream monsters for me."
"You should hurry up that blacksmith Wagner."
Amber scratched her head. The blacksmith's temper was a bit grumpy. He always had a bad look on his face, no matter who he went to.
She won't touch this nail.
"By the way, don't let the Dream Demon run around before you get the Poké Ball, so as not to scare other residents in the city."
"Don't worry, it's obedient." Amber looked up and saw that the Dream Demon that was lying on her head disappeared in a swish. "Dream Demon, where did you go?"
Su Cheng watched Amber chasing the dream monster along the streets and alleys, and had a great time chasing him.
……
The residence of the Knights.
The lights in Captain Qin's office were still on.
She was sitting at her desk, always busy with endless work and endless documents. The Charmander next to her had curled up into a ball, squinting and snoring.
Tuk Tuk Tuk
"Come in." She put down the file and looked up to see Amber, Yora, and Noelle walking in.
She smiled gently and said, "Noelle, should you reflect on what happened today? I heard Mr. Duraf from Qingquan Town say that you went to find the injured hunter without permission."
Noelle looked confused and twisted his hands together, not knowing where to put them.
Amber took the opportunity to speak to Noelle, "Noelle didn't take risks. From the beginning to the end, she was with us as a trainee. She did not directly participate in the mission, but only did some auxiliary work to help take care of the injured hunters. "
Captain Qin's eyes flickered and he looked at Yura.
Yola crossed her hands and said solemnly, "As Amber said, it is indeed the case."
Just when Noelle was about to speak, Amber stretched out her hand, smiled and shook her head.
Captain Qin folded his hands on the table and rested his white chin on his knuckles, "Since Amber and Youla have spoken for you, this punishment will be waived. You won't do it next time. Do you understand?"
Noelle bowed and said, "Yes, I remember."
"You go back and rest first."
"Yes." Noelle bowed and exited the office.
The door was gently closed.
Captain Qin cut to the chase, "Now let's briefly report the situation."
Amber and Yura truthfully reported everything they saw and heard during the day to Captain Qin.
Captain Qin nodded while listening, and asked questions from time to time, "Have the giant needle bees in the wild affected the normal hunting activities of the hunters in Qingquan Town?"
"This..." Amber looked at Youla, a little embarrassed to speak, her mind was spinning rapidly, looking for reasons to excuse herself.
She didn't want Captain Qin to give an order to launch a large-scale siege to clear out the group of giant needle bees.
After all, Amber was thinking about the elves. Even the giant needle bees can live in peace with the elves. The store manager said that as long as they don't deliberately annoy them, they will not attack humans.
Therefore, as long as the hunters are reminded not to invade their territory without authorization, they can sit back and relax.
Yora sighed softly, "Based on our evaluation and the elf shop manager's suggestion, we all agree that although the giant needle bees have the characteristic of attacking in groups, they are only triggered under specific circumstances, such as It is believed that hunters are encroaching on their territory in an attempt to kill the pupae and larvae they protect.”
Captain Qin nodded slightly, "From what you two are saying, do you suggest that we continue to wait and see, rather than clearing the way for the hunters of Qingquan Town in time?"
Amber added, "We recommend erecting signage in the wild to remind hunters and travelers not to approach the area where the giant needle bee is located, so that they can live in peace."
Captain Qin's eyes narrowed slightly. Amber and Youla's suggestions were reasonable, but it was difficult to explain to Qingquan Town. After all, they were real victims.
If you don't give them an explanation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop Youyou's mouth.
Now that the hunters in Qingquan Town have returned safely, there will still be some time before they fully recover, and they can still consider it carefully during this period.
If it was a matter involving elves, letting a group of laymen like myself and the Knights take action would indeed pale in comparison.
In this case, it is still necessary for the manager of the elf shop to speak out and convince the hunters in person.
Captain Qin said seriously, "Let's do this. You go to the elf shop manager tomorrow and ask him to arrange a knowledge lecture to popularize the topic of how to take refuge when encountering elves in the wild to the hunters in Qingquan Town."
Youla said lightly, "I'm afraid he won't agree easily."
Amber nodded slightly, "After all, Qingquan Town is not as rich as Mondstadt City. There is only one person willing to buy elves there. He should not do such a thankless thing."
Captain Qin looked serious, "Just tell him that this is the request of the Knights and must be completed."
Amber smiled and said, "What if he refuses?"
Youla pulled Amber's hand, and her eyes warned her not to be angry.
"Refuse?" Captain Qin smiled slightly, "I will give him a reason that he cannot refuse."
……
The lights were still on in the library where the Knights were stationed.
It was quiet on the first floor, and also quiet on the ground floor.
Noelle pushed open the wooden door of the library. The inside was very bright, like daylight. She looked around at the books, desks, bookshelves, and chairs, all arranged quite neatly.
It seemed that even when she was out for the day, the library did not appear messy because of her absence.
Senior Lisa should have done all the work for her.
She slowly walked along the wooden stairs to the bottom floor. When she looked up, she saw two women sitting on desks not far apart.
One was wearing a red dress with twin ponytails.
One wore a black eyepatch over his left eye, a gothic lolita midriff-baring outfit, and black lace gloves on his hands, stroking gently on the pages of the hardcover book.
On the right shoulder sits a night crow.
You can read the information in the book with only one right eye, and your eyes are full of joy and pride.
No loud noises are allowed in the library.
She walked over softly.
When Fischer saw Noelle, he raised his head and looked at her, "It turns out to be you, my loyal maid. I was thinking about not seeing you for a whole day, which made the soul of this princess a little uneasy."
Oz thoughtfully translated, "I haven't been here for a day. Where have you been?"
Noelle sat down next to her, "I went to Qingquan Town and just came back."
"Have you prepared any delicacies?" Fischer asked.
Noelle scratched his head and took out the only remaining waffle, "There is still one thick cloud waffle left, I didn't have time to prepare it."
"mum……"
Musk at the next table was flipping through the pages of a book. Curly Er on the table smelled the smell of waffles and jumped over hurriedly.
Fischer looked at it seriously, "Oz, what does this little guy want to do?"
