The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [434]

“What’s wrong with farming?!”

Jia Changjiang, hearing Lumine’s comment, seemed a little offended. “This Serenitea Pot couldn’t even grow crops at first... What’s the point of land you can’t plant things on?!”

“There’s such a huge area! If you’re not using it to farm, are you planning to sleep on it or something?”

“Look at it now—it’s perfect. You can grow food, plant potion ingredients… And if you're in a hurry, a little bone meal helps speed things up...”

Jia went on, talking animatedly.

Farming…

It was a natural instinct etched into Jia Changjiang’s DNA.

No matter the kind of person—even those raised in luxury in the heart of a metropolis—whenever they saw a patch of soil, there was always that subconscious thought:

Wouldn’t it be great to grow something here?

After the meal, Zhongli took the opportunity to stroll through other parts of the Serenitea Pot.

It wasn’t just the farmland.

He even discovered a massive arena being constructed behind the house.

Black and purple throughout—Zhongli gave it a few knocks. The material was obsidian.

There were other buildings under construction as well...

Zhongli thought to himself—

If I were the one designing this place, it probably wouldn’t have turned out nearly as... elaborate.

Eventually, Zhongli took his leave.

Meanwhile, Lumine and Jia Changjiang were preparing to return to Mondstadt and resume attending Lisa’s lectures.

But the moment they arrived at the Knights of Favonius headquarters, they found Jean looking rather troubled.

She seemed deeply concerned about something.

“Acting Grand Master Jean? What’s wrong?” Lumine asked. “Is there something going on?”

“I can help!” she added, patting her chest confidently. “As long as it helps you feel less stressed!”

“Lumine, thank you for your concern.”

Jean sighed wearily. “There is something unusual I’d like your help with.”

“Is it the Fatui again?” Jia asked, curious. “Or the Abyss Mages?”

From the gates of Mondstadt all the way here, it was clear the Knights were unusually busy.

And considering what Mondstadt typically faced, it likely boiled down to those two threats.

“This... does indeed relate to them,” Jean said with a nod. “Recently, I’ve received multiple reports from our knights that members of the Lawrence Clan have been in close contact with the Fatui.”

“So it’s the Fatui again!” Paimon shouted. “But wait, the Lawrence Clan… that name sounds familiar.”

“I remember.”

Lumine paused, thinking. “That Eula we met at the tavern—her full name is Eula Lawrence.”

“What’s going on with the Lawrence Clan?”

She turned to Jean.

Jean sighed again. “Eula is unquestionably a trusted ally of the Knights.”

“But the Lawrence family... In Mondstadt’s past, there was once a dark era ruled by the Old Nobility. The freedom that Barbatos brought to the people was chained, and slavery was rampant…”

“It was the first Dandelion Knight, Vanessa, who led the revolution and overthrew the aristocracy. She founded the Knights of Favonius and gave rise to the Mondstadt we know today.”

Jean’s eyes held a glimmer of admiration as she spoke.

“And the ones who once brought suffering to Mondstadt... were the Lawrence Clan.”

“So the descendants of those bad guys are plotting something with the Fatui?!” Paimon exclaimed in disbelief.

“But I don’t think Eula’s a bad person,” Lumine said. “I’ve got a good sense for people.”

“Eula is absolutely someone the Knights can rely on,” Jean affirmed. “As for the rest of the Lawrences… we only have suspicions for now. No hard evidence yet. That’s why I’m hoping you two can investigate.”

“You want us to investigate?” Lumine asked, surprised. “Is it really okay to entrust something this serious to us?”

Jean nodded. “You see, historically, the Old Nobility and the Knights have been in conflict…”

“It’s taken a long time just to ease tensions, but many descendants of the nobles still harbor deep resentment toward the Knights.”

“Huh? If they hate the Knights so much, why would they join the Knights?” Jia raised an eyebrow. “That takes some nerve.”

“Eula is the exception,” Jean explained.

“The other members of the Lawrence Clan… no matter how we approach them—friendly or formal—it never ends well. They always overreact.”

She rubbed her temples in frustration. “It’s difficult for me to handle this kind of situation.”

“The Lawrence Clan, huh…”

Jia stroked his chin.

“What’s the story with them?”

“The Gunnhildr family, the Ragnvindr family, and the Lawrences—these three were the most prominent families in Mondstadt’s history,” Jean explained.

“The Lawrences were blinded by ambition and greed, plunging Mondstadt into darkness. After Lady Vanessa established the Knights of Favonius, the Lawrence Clan fell into decline.”

“I remember reading about them in one of the pamphlets,” Jia said, rubbing his chin again.

The Gunnhildrs were Jean’s family—protectors of Mondstadt, guardians by lineage and by oath.

The Ragnvindrs—the family of the Dawn Knight, Diluc.

They were once comrades of the Anemo Archon and the boy who walked with him. They fought against tyranny in the days of the Old Nobility.

They saw—and heard—the cries from the lowest corners of the city. And while false prosperity covered the surface, they could not ignore the filth in its shadow.

As for the Lawrences...

Most people remembered them for their disgrace.

But unlike the rest of the Old Nobility, the original Lawrences weren’t always this way.

They were once pioneers—trailblazers of Mondstadt.

With strength and wisdom, they carved out the land, built the earliest settlements.

In those days, the Lawrences were brave warriors forging a path through snow and stone—a proud and noble house.

The ones who followed… were merely parasites, flaunting ancestral glory while indulging in corruption and cruelty.

“Lumine, Mr. Jax,” Jean said, “as travelers, the two of you might have an easier time connecting with that nobleman.”

“His name is Schubert. I’ll leave this to you.”

“No problem!”

Lumine thumped her chest. “With my social skills, there’s hardly anyone in all of Teyvat I can’t talk to!”

“I hope so…”

Jean massaged her temples again, clearly exhausted.

“Alright, Acting Grand Master. We’ll go find this Schubert next,” Lumine waved as she left. “Just wait for our good news!”

Outside the headquarters, Lumine and Jia briefly discussed the Old Nobility situation.

“Greenskin, let’s go get dressed up!” Lumine said eagerly. “We’re meeting a noble, after all!”

“I can look the part,” Jia grinned. “I totally look like a noble!”
