Mona pointed to the three little girls sitting over there.
Everyone looked at them: "Want some help?"
"They found a note in a fairy tale book with a prophecy written on it. I did some divination for them, and during the divination, the crystal ball suddenly broke for some reason."
Is it possible that there's something wrong with the prophecy?
"Probably not. I checked it carefully beforehand; it's just a very ordinary piece of paper."
What exactly was written on the note?
"[If you can accomplish these things, you will be able to light the lamp of supreme blessing and thus receive unparalleled blessings.]"
Find a flower that doesn't exist in the world. Find a guide who will never get lost. Find a person who doesn't lie. Find a legend that never ends.
"A few inexplicable proverbs, but the style is very similar to the guidance that would appear in a fairy tale. It must have been written by someone just for fun."
"Boss, what do you think the Lamp of Blessing will be?"
Xia Zhi thought for a moment and said, "It's probably one of those magic lamps where you rub it and a genie jumps out and grants your wish."
Everyone laughed and said, "Where in real life would you find a lamp like that!"
Mona seemed to remember something, looked at Xia Zhi, and said, "Mr. Xia, what I divined before was the whereabouts of the Lamp of Blessing on the note. I remember that the information had already appeared on the crystal ball at that time, but before I could check it, the crystal ball broke."
"Miss Mona, what do you mean?"
“Since divination can provide information, it means that the Lamp of Blessing mentioned on the note is real. I can no longer continue divination, but Mr. Xia, your Mora divination does not require a crystal ball. If you were to perform the divination, you would surely be able to determine its exact location!”
"It's hard to say, but I can give it a try."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xia Zhi took out a few Mora and casually tossed them onto the table.
Coins scattered, forming a hexagram.
Xia Zhi stretched out his fingers, touched the positions of several Mora tokens, identified the divination symbols, and pondered with his head down: "This divination..."
"How about it?"
"It's a confusing divination."
"Mr. Xia can't calculate the exact location either?"
"The hexagram does not contain information about direction."
"strangeness……"
"The darkest place is under the lamp" can be interpreted as "searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly".
"what?"
"The general meaning of this divination is that this so-called lamp of ultimate fortune is actually very close to us, but if the time is not right, no matter how hard we look for it, we will not be able to find it. But as long as we wait for the right time, it will be delivered to us by itself."
"So, all we need to do is wait patiently?"
"Yes."
Xia Zhi nodded and picked up Mora from the table.

at the same time.
Mondstadt, inside the tavern "Angel's Gift".
Wendy was still drinking with the guests at the next table.
It was as if it sensed something.
Wendy took the beautiful lamp out from somewhere again.
"Someone's looking for it again... This feels familiar... It seems to be my best friend... Why is he interested in this stuff?... Since he wants it, I'll go over and give it to him tomorrow, and while I'm at it, I'll ask him for a couple of bottles of rainbow wine to drink..."
Wendy smacked her lips, threw the lamp back, and continued drinking.

After discussing Mona's situation, everyone turned to Liu Yun Zhenjun and Ying'er to inquire about the research progress.
Liu Yun Zhenjun shook his head: "I'm sorry, the three of us have been studying this all morning, but we still have no idea how to use [Breath of Happiness]."
Ying'er said, "But we met that teacher, Abedo."
"The chief alchemist of the Knights of Favonius?"
"Ah."
Didn't you ask for his opinion?
"He said it was also his first time encountering this strange alchemical material, so..."
"It seems you've run into a big problem. But surely the boss knows how to use this alchemical material?"
Xia Zhi nodded and said, "I do know a little bit about it; it can be used to refine things related to emotions..."
Xia Zhi had only been speaking for two minutes when the restaurant started serving the dishes.
He said, "Let's eat first, and I'll tell you the story later."
Although Liu Yun Zhenjun and Ying'er felt a little uneasy, they still nodded and said, "Okay."
After dinner, as usual, everyone went for a walk along the lakeside and took the lovely little girl, Keli, home.
Keli politely invited everyone to come to her house for a visit, but they all declined with a smile.
"Tomorrow is the Windflower Festival, Klee will come to the Church of the West to play with you guys in the morning!"
"Ok."
Leave Claire's house and cross a street.
Mona suddenly stopped and stared at a small stall in the distance, her expression momentarily blank.
Charlotte turned to Mona and asked, "What's wrong, Mona?"
"That short Sumeru merchant over there..."
"Hey! Isn't that the swindler who cheated you out of 600,000? We actually ran into her here! Come on, we'll take you over to confront her!"
"Hey……"
Charlotte led Mona to the stall.
Dolly looked up at the two familiar guests, a professional smile appearing on her face, before she could even speak.
"Money back!"
???
Dolly looked puzzled. She pushed up her glasses with her finger and said in a serious tone, "Guest, what are you talking about?"
Charlotte, holding up the photo camera, said, "The boss should remember us, right? I took a picture to remember the occasion..."
Dolly glanced at the camera hanging around her neck and nodded: "Of course I remember the two guests. You all patronized me a lot during the Lantern Festival, especially this fortune teller, who spent a lot of money to buy a top-quality crystal ball from me."
Charlotte corrected, "The crystal ball isn't anything special; it's broken."
Dolly raised an eyebrow: "Bad? Impossible. This fortune teller tried it out at my stall."
"It was fine then, but it broke down after only a short time."
"That might be due to improper use by the guest."
"My friend is a professional fortune teller; it must be that the products you're selling are of poor quality."
"Please be careful what you say, my items are a bit pricey, but the quality is excellent."
"Then how come it broke so quickly?"
"That's a question for the customer to answer."
……
Charlotte was still arguing with Dolly.
The others also came over at this time, and were somewhat surprised to see the Sumeru merchant here again.
Dolly put on a friendly smile again and said, "Gentlemen, we meet again. See if there's anything of interest this time?"
Looking at the new goods displayed on the stall, Zhu Zi asked curiously, "Boss, what brings you to Mondstadt?"
Dolly smiled and said, "It's because of the Flower Festival, of course. It's the best time to do business..."
Charlotte interrupted her, saying, "Boss, please don't avoid our questions."
"My goods are definitely good, please stop making unreasonable demands."
"Nobody's good stuff lasts even a month..."
I saw the two of them arguing again.
Xia Ci found it amusing, coughed, and said, "Boss, do you know who she is? She's the editor-in-chief of the Liyue Daily. You don't want your story to be published in the Liyue Daily, making everyone in Liyue know about it, and then you won't be able to do business in Liyue anymore, do you?"
!!!
Dolly paused for a moment, then said helplessly, "In that case, I'll get the guest a new crystal ball."
She took a new crystal ball from her spatial items and handed it to Mona.
