Chapter 88: Day 6 of Mond's Chapter
Making fireworks is not difficult. Both Klee and Albedo are experienced people. They worked together and quickly produced several finished products, but they still need to experiment.
"It would be too conspicuous if we set off fireworks directly in Mondstadt. Jean would be attracted here, right? Why don't we find a place to experiment?"
The resourceful guide girl Paimon suggested again.
"I know a good place with few people and a quiet view. Let's try to set off some fireworks and see how it works."
Albedo suggested that in addition to doing experiments in the snow-capped mountains, he would also go to various places in Mondstadt to sketch, so he was more familiar with some secluded places.
A little further east from where the wind blows, there is a large, gentle hillside. There are few trees here, and there is more dense grass underfoot. There are not even many rocks, and it is a very open area.
Shui Qingli felt that this place looked familiar.
This place seemed to be the place where he first landed on the continent of Teyvat. At that time, he thought it was a grassland until he saw the unimaginably large tree in Fengqidi and denied it.
"It's still daytime, so the fireworks may not look too good, but we just want to test whether this can be successfully set off into a flower."
Albedo said that his expression always seemed calm, and he rarely showed any big emotional fluctuations because of certain people or things.
"I need to record the experiment. Klee is a fire elemental, and the fireworks might be affected. So I can only ask you, Sora."
The blond traveler nodded and moved away with the firework tube in his arms. He had set off fireworks at Xiao Palace before and had a lot of experience in how to light them.
Whoosh—crack!
A firework rose into the sky and exploded in mid-air, turning into layers of fluorescent fireworks. It looked very beautiful even in the daytime. It was a very beautiful firework.
"Success!"
Sora and Paimon happily high-fived to celebrate. They had seen the fireworks made by Xiao Palace before, and this effect was already considered a successful firework display.
"Well, the explosion time can be adjusted a bit, and the flower shape can be made more perfect and realistic with different potions, but overall, it's a successful work. What do you think, Klee?"
Albedo recorded the experimental records and lowered his head to ask the elf cub whom he treated as his sister.
She also nodded seriously and commented in a serious manner.
"Keli thinks we can adjust the dosage to make the blooming range a little wider. Keli wants to make a very big firework, which will definitely look great."
"Then let's make a few more. There are still about three hours before dark, which is enough time to make a few more different versions."
Albedo put away the notebook he was carrying with him, took Klee's hand and walked towards Mondstadt.
The three people who were left behind looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"We... have been forgotten, right?"
Paimon asked hesitantly.
"That's normal. They have already entered the research state, so they are focusing on that."
Shui Qingli was very calm. He also saw the potential of Keli. She was a lively little girl, but she was very patient when doing professional things that she was good at.
The class matter was settled. As long as Captain Qin gave Klee some appropriate benefits, such as allowing her to fry fish or test new bombs at a fixed time and place, it would not be impossible for her to complete her homework.
As for the fish that were blown up and the monsters that were used to test the bombs... didn't they get there the same way before?
"Why don't we discuss how to lead Captain Qin to the fireworks viewing location without leaking any information?"
"Yeah, we have to think about it carefully, otherwise Klee and Albedo's hard work on making fireworks will be wasted, right?"
Paimeng woke up as if from a dream and quickly agreed.
Knights of the West Wind.
During the Wind Flower Festival, more people are needed mainly for patrolling. Just like the Adventurer's Guild will not have too many commissions during this period, the Knights will also have a much easier time. Jean rarely had some time off to enjoy afternoon tea with Lisa.
"Lisa, do you think there will be no problem with what Mr. Qingli said about the 'classroom'?"
Sitting on a chair covered with soft cushions, holding a cup of black tea brewed by Lisa, Qin was still thinking about work as usual.
"Although people generally don't oppose the Knights' decision, not everyone loves to study. What if someone objects..."
Although Qin knew in her heart that receiving education was a very good thing, the character of the people of Mondstadt was to be carefree and undisciplined to put it nicely, and lazy and dissolute to put it bluntly. It was difficult to get the people of Mondstadt to accept studying all day and doing nothing.
"But we just want to help the children learn. Why would the grown-up adults object?"
Lisa said calmly as she turned a page of the book.
"Knowing the written word, understanding common sense, knowing principles, and learning the spirit of [knighthood]. Mastering even one of these will be extremely beneficial for the future, and they may be eager for someone to help discipline the children, don't worry."
Children in Mond are basically left to their own devices. When they grow up, if they have good physical conditions, becoming a registered adventurer or joining the Knights of Favonius are both very good choices for the people of Mond. Now that there is an opportunity for unified education, even the most ignorant people will not waste it.
This is very likely to be an opportunity to change your destiny.
"That's it, then I'll be relieved."
Although Qin knew all of this, she didn't know why she always felt more at ease after her friend explained it in such a casual tone.
"Then I'll be very sorry to bother you, Lisa. It's the first time for me and all of us to try to be teachers."
When it comes to this kind of thing, Lisa, who studied at the Church Order Institute, is the best at it.
"Haha, if you can give me a gift that satisfies me, I will consider it more seriously."
"No... No, Qin!"
Kong and Paimon pushed open the office door, breathing slightly and looking very anxious.
"Oh no, Jean. We just saw Klee making a huge bomb over at Fengqidi. It seems she is testing her latest achievement. It would be terrible if she detonates it."
"what!"
Qin jumped up quickly.
"How could this happen? When did she make this huge bomb?"
"I'm going to stop her now!"
Perhaps because Klee's record was too shocking, Jean didn't doubt Paimon's words at all and quickly ran away from the Knights.
Lisa didn't follow, but instead glanced at Sora and Paimon subtly.
This look can only fool the simple-minded Qin, but it won't work on an experienced person like Lisa.
