After a morning of travel, Columbia and Mazeren arrived at the Whispering Forest outside Mondstadt. After the Whispering Forest, they arrived at Mondstadt.

"Let's take a rest here. I heard the Whispering Forest has a nice view."

Mazeren waved his hand, and soon several Fatui prepared parasols, lounge chairs, tables, tea, and snacks.

"Go ahead and investigate the situation with two people, and the others should rest where they are and be alert to the surroundings."

After Mazeren's order came down, two Fatui left the team to explore the way first. As for the other Fatui, some sat on the ground and ate dry food, while some rested on the trees to be alert to the surrounding situation.

"Columbia, do you know Falga?"

Columbia thought about it carefully and said, "Farga is a very strong man. The captain has fought against him and commented that he is a good opponent."

"He is just one of the strongest men in Mondstadt. Archbishop Zephyr is also very dangerous."

Maizeron noticed that when Columbia talked about Archbishop Zephyr, there was a little more seriousness in his eyes, but only a little.

"Is that so?"

Mazeren took the information from the Fatui and began to read it.

Simon Page

Belongs to Mondstadt, is the bishop of the Church of Favonius, has the water-attributed Eye of God, and his strength is unknown.

Lover: Ivy Gunnhild

He is the head of the Gunhild family, and they have two daughters.

Jean Gunnhildr, 4 years old, Barbara Gunnhildr, 1 year old.

After reading the information, Maizelen threw it aside. He was not interested in other people's family relationships.

But Simon was an extremely low-key person and posed a great threat, so it turned out that there was not enough intelligence.

After a short rest, Columbia and Mezeren hit the road again.

When they reached the depths of the Whispering Forest, they heard a cry for help not far ahead. The Fatui who went out to explore the way came to Mazeren and Columbia.

"Sir, there is a girl in front who is trapped in a tree by the Hillicrucians. It seems to be Simon's daughter, Jean Gunnhild."

Mazeren waved his hand, and the Fatui bent down and retreated.

"Simon's daughter could be saved, and we could use this opportunity to get information about Simon from her. What do you think, Columbia?"

"I'll do as you say~"

Columbia and Mazeren came to a nearby place and saw a blonde girl shivering on a tree. Three hillbillies below kept throwing stones at the girl.

"Columbia, come on."

Columbia did not refuse, and the fools quickly covered their ears. A light and melodious song came out of Columbia's mouth, and the surrounding birds seemed to be mesmerized and flew around Columbia.

The singing reached the ears of the three hillbillies. The three hillbillies staggered as if they were about to fall to the ground. Suddenly, the three hillbillies began to attack each other until they turned into ashes and disappeared. They didn't know what happened.

Qin also heard the beautiful singing and looked in the direction of the singing. She saw a very beautiful sister. Then she saw that the hillbillies who had bullied her were killing each other.

Maizeron and Columbia came under the tree, and Maizeron looked up at Qin who was still on the tree.

"Little sister, how long are you going to stay in the tree? Aren't you afraid of being eaten by wolves at night?"

Mazeren jumped up and picked up the guitar like a chicken.

As soon as she landed, Qin bowed deeply to Columbia and Mazeren.

"Big brothers and big sisters, thank you for saving me. My name is Jean Gunnhildr. Brothers and sisters, just call me Jean."

Columbia and Maizeron nodded, and then Maizeron asked.

"Jin, why are you alone in the Whispering Forest? Although there are not many monsters here, there are still many wild beasts."

Qin lowered her head in embarrassment: "Actually, I was playing by the bridge, and the sudden appearance of the Hilliker scared me, so I didn't pay attention to the direction. It was only later that I realized I was in the forest."

Columbia chuckled, picked up Qin and ruffled her soft golden hair.

"You are really cute. We are going to Mondstadt as well, so I will take you home with me~"

Qin nodded sheepishly, and when she looked up she saw Columbia.

Qin swore that she had never seen such a beautiful sister. Even her mother was not as beautiful as the sister in front of her.

"Sister, you are so beautiful..."

Columbia chuckled and rubbed Qin's cheek.

"Qin will definitely be very beautiful in the future."

Meizelen looked at this scene and smiled.

"You two, if you don't leave now, it will be dark and you won't be able to enter the city."

The three of them continued on their way, while the other Fatui followed and hid far behind them.

After all, between a group of people and two people, two people are more believable no matter how you look at it.

In the evening, the setting sun dyed the entire Jiu Lake golden, and white geese swam by, leaving ripples. The fisherman on the side seemed to have no fish, so he packed up his fishing rod in frustration and left with his bucket.

Mazeren and Columbia brought Qin to the gate of Mondstadt. At the gate, a team of knights led by a woman were about to leave the city. When Qin saw the woman, she shouted excitedly.

"Mother! I'm here!"

The woman heard a familiar voice and looked over quickly, seeing her daughter being held in the arms of a stranger and waving at her.

Ivy Gunhild hurried to the three of them, and Columbia returned the piano to Ivy. Ivy hugged the piano, her face full of relief at having found it again.

"Qin, where have you been? I was so worried."

"Mother, I was chased into the Whispering Forest by the Hillikers and was saved by my brothers and sisters who passed by."

As she spoke, Qin pulled Ivy to Mazeren and Columbia and introduced them to her mother.

"Hello, I'm Ivy Gunnhild. Thank you for saving my daughter. You will gain the friendship of the Gunnhild family!"

Ivy Gunhild gave Columbia and Mazeren a standard knight's salute.

"Hello, Mrs. Ivy. I'm Maizelen."

"Hello ma'am, Columbia."

After a brief chat, Ivy invited Columbia and Mazeron to dinner at her home, and Columbia and Mazeron readily agreed.

When they arrived at Gunhild's house, Ivy asked the housekeeper to entertain Mazeren and Columbia, while she took Qin upstairs to change clothes.

Not long after Columbia and Mazeren sat down, Ivy came down with Qin, who had changed her clothes.

There was also a little baby in Ivy's arms.

"I'm so sorry to leave you alone. This is my little daughter, Barbara, she's one year old."

As she spoke, Ivy showed Barbara's chubby face to Columbia and Mazeren, but Barbara seemed shy and turned her head and shrank into Ivy's arms.

Somehow, Columbia started chatting with Ivy, and Mazeren could only drink tea, one cup after another.

"Big brother, are you unhappy?"

At this time, Qin came and sat next to Maizelun, and asked Maizelun with an innocent face.

Maizelen shook his head: "Look, your sister and your mother are chatting so happily, and your brother can't get a word in. It's not polite to leave, so you can only drink tea."

Qin nodded: "Indeed, it's the same when mother talks to other aunts, as if mother and aunts don't care whether father and uncle are there or not."

“Is there a possibility that they really don’t care?”

Click! The door opened, and a middle-aged man in a white robe and glasses walked in. The maid took the white robe from the middle-aged man.

"Hmm? Are there any guests at home? Ivy."

The man who came was Archbishop Zephyr, Jean and Barbara's father, Ivy's husband, Simon Page!

Ivy didn't give Simon a good look and grabbed Simon's ear.

"Did you know that your daughter almost didn't come back today? She was chased by three hillbillies today. If Columbia and Mezeren hadn't passed by, I wouldn't dare to think about it!"

"You, the Archbishop, can't you pay more attention to your family!"

Ivy was so strong that Simon quickly begged for mercy. Finally, after Simon coaxed her, Ivy calmed down.

This scene made Mai Zelun sigh: "I will definitely find a gentle wife in the future."

Simon: “That’s right…”

So Simon was pulled on the ear again.

During dinner, Simon also understood the whole story and expressed his gratitude to Columbia and Mezeren.

After dinner, as it was getting late, Ivy let Columbia and Mazeren stay.

"The guest room has been cleaned up, you can rest anytime."

Of course, going to bed early is not Columbia's habit, and the same is true for Ivy, so the two of them started discussing girls' private matters.

Maizeren and Simon were left staring blankly. Maizeren didn't know how to start, and the same went for Simon.

The tacit understanding between the men suddenly came out. Simon took out a chess set from somewhere and the two started playing chess.
