Genshin Impact: I was robbed at the beginning and I hated being ranked third!

When Mazeren woke up the next day, Columbia was smiling. Was she having a good dream?

Maizeron looked at Columbia, reached out to tuck her hair behind her, and then for some reason he put his hand on Columbia's face.

"Hmmmm~"

Columbia whimpered and then opened her misty eyes.

"Ahaha~ Good morning, Mezeren."

"Well good morning, Columbia."

"By the way, Columbia, I may not be able to go shopping with you today. I need to finalize things first."

Columbia rubbed Mezeren's face and got out of bed.

"I know, Meizelen. We still have a lot of time. We don't need a day or two."

Mazeren nodded, washed up, and headed straight for the Knights of Favonius. Simon returned to the church early after his rest, while Ivy practiced swordsmanship with Qin.

Columbia was helping Ivy look after Barbara. Barbara was attracted by Columbia's headdress. She kept grabbing at it with her two little hands but couldn't reach it.

Columbia smiled slightly, took off the headdress and handed it to Barbara. Barbara took the headdress and put it in her mouth and sucked it.

Columbia quickly snatched the headdress back. Without the headdress, Barbara immediately started crying. For a moment, Columbia felt that it was very hard to take care of the child.

"Da? Dadadada? Dadadada?"

Barbara seemed to like Columbia's humming very much. Her eyes were shining. She stopped crying and listened quietly to Columbia's humming.

Gradually, Barbara felt her eyelids becoming heavier and heavier, so she decided to take a nap. Barbara fell asleep to Columbia's singing.

On the other side, the Knights of Favonius, Falga's office.

Still the same position as yesterday, still the same content as yesterday

"Mr. Meizelen, after our high-level meeting, we have agreed to the following cooperation between Mondstadt and Solstice."

"First, we agree to open the Northland Bank in winter, and the Northland Bank will enjoy the benefits of Mond's policies."

"Second, we agree to the Dongzhi Merchants' right to dock at Jingfu Port, but they are not allowed to dock for a long time, and the extension is no more than fifteen days."

"At the same time, merchants from the winter are allowed to come to the Mondjingfu Port area to do business and open shops, and they will enjoy the benefits of Mondstadt's policies."

"Third, we agree to allow the Fatui to send an archaeological team to Mond to study the ruins, and Mond will be responsible for the supply of materials for the archaeological team."

"But there are conditions. First and second, the Northland Bank needs to support Mond merchants in their shops in Winter, which have already been rent-free for one month and tax-free for three months."

"Winter merchants open shops in Mondstadt. Mondstadt can be responsible for the storefront, but the tax is 10% higher than that of ordinary Mondstadt merchants."

"Third, the archaeological team of Solstice needs the participation of Mond scholars, and the archaeological excavation of a certain ruins needs to be reported to the Knights. The archaeological excavation can only be carried out after the knights have eliminated the danger. The archaeological team of Solstice cannot carry out archaeological excavations without authorization."

"As for the Fatui's desire to obtain the right to station troops, we refuse."

Mazeren nodded. This was the best possible outcome. But what did it have to do with him? And what did it have to do with the Fatui? They just needed an organization that was officially recognized by Mondstadt.

As for what happened in private, haha, you have no evidence, so how can you say it was us who did it?

As for the mutual exchange of benefits, I'm sorry, I don't care. What I care about is Pantalone. Anyway, every North Country Bank will have his manager. Columbia and I just need to spend money.

After things were finalized, Mazeren walked out of the Knights of Favonius and looked at the setting sun. Well, I heard that Mond's dandelion wine is good, so I'll go try it.

After some inquiries, Mazeren was recommended to "Angel's Gift". When he pushed the door open, a crisp bell rang and the bartender at the counter looked up at Mazeren.

"Welcome, what kind of wine would you like?"

Maizeron came to the counter and sat down, looking at the wide variety of drinks.

"I'm new here, please recommend one."

Charles glanced at the Maizelen decorations, then took three bottles of wine from the counter.

"This is the water and fire of winter, the dandelion wine of Mondstadt, and the scattered white of Liyue."

After the introductions, Charles started mixing drinks.

"The guest has the face of a Liyue person and is wearing the clothing of Zhidong. The guest must have left his hometown and gone to Zhidong for some reason, right?"

"In that case, I will use Liyue's Sanbai as the base wine, dandelion as the seasoning, and water and fire as the finish."

“A cup of “May the wind bring the smell of homeland”, please evaluate it.”

Maizelon looked at the white below, the green in the middle and the red above, which looked like a pair of water and fire that were incompatible. Maizelon raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

"First, there is a strong impact of water and fire, which is slightly reduced by the dandelion wine, and then the white powder continues to remain in the mouth. Does the wind bring the smell of my hometown?"

Maizeron nodded, put Mora on the counter and turned to leave, but at the moment he left, Maizeron's voice was heard.

"It's good wine, but it's not that good for me right now."

After saying that, Mazeren left, and Charles fell into self-doubt.

"How is that possible? I've been mixing drinks for so many years and I've never made a mistake! There must be something wrong with the wine!"

Charles did not give up, and quickly mixed another cup. Just as he was about to drink it, he was a step too slow.

The wine was drunk by a bard, who smacked his lips.

"Well, Charles, this drink is very well made. It's the best drink I've had today."

"It's you. What a pity. It seems that this wine is not as good as you said, because it was rejected."

Wendy looked thoughtfully at the depressed Charles and smiled.

"Charles, there's nothing wrong with the wine, it's just the people who are the problem."

Wendy's words left Charles confused. Although he didn't know why this bard was treated as a guest of honor by his master, this guy seemed to know a lot about wine.

"What's wrong with people?"

"Who knows? Maybe he has lost the memory of his homeland."

One day Charles suddenly understood that this was the case. No wonder it was not suitable for him.

After knowing that it was not his problem, Charles regained his confidence.

When Maizeron returned to Gunhild's house, dinner was just about to start. Maizeron greeted Ivy and sat down at the dining table.

Simon's nose twitched, his eyes immediately lit up, and he moved closer to Mazeren.

"You went drinking?"

Maizeron was puzzled by Simon's cautious look but nodded anyway.

"After all, since we are in Mondstadt, we should try some of Mondstadt's wine."

"Yeah, that's true. We're off this week so let's find an excuse to go together."

Maizelen was very confused. What excuse was needed for drinking? But seeing Simon's cautious look, he didn't think much about it.

Soon Ivy prepared the last dish and the maid brought it up.

After dinner, Meizelen found Mrs. Ivy.

"Mrs. Ivy, have you made any progress on the matter I asked you to do yesterday?"

Ivy nodded.

"There are a few properties for sale, but they are all far from the city center, with inconvenient transportation and far from the streets."

"Actually, you can live here forever. Simon has to go to church five days a week, and I have to teach Jean and Barbara. I can't handle it alone, so Columbia can help me share some of the burden."

Meizelen wanted to say something, but Ivy didn't seem to give him a chance.

"I've asked Columbia, and she's willing to stay. Mazeren, you don't want Columbia to live here alone, do you?"

Maizelen choked up, and suddenly he felt that Ivy's words sounded very familiar. But he couldn't remember where he had heard it before, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

As for the house, Columbia liked living here, so what could he do?

After Qin and Barbara were kicked out of the room again, Qin got angry. When Qin turned around, Barbara had already crawled to the door of Columbia and Mazeren's room and started knocking on it.

Columbia opened the door and didn't see anyone. Just as she was wondering, she suddenly felt someone pulling her skirt. Columbia looked down and saw Barbara pulling her skirt.

"Barbara, why are you here? Where is your sister?"

Qinqin arrived. She was wearing pajamas and looked at Columbia awkwardly.

"Sister Columbia, excuse me, we were kicked out by our mother."

Although Columbia didn't know what was going on, she took the two little ones into the room, where Mazeren was sitting on the sofa.

The sofa was arranged by Ivy, and the bed was already made. Although it was nice to stick with Columbia, it was easy to make mistakes.
