"I haven't thought about anything like that at all. Magistrate Jinhsi is so busy every day. Rover, don't tease me about that here."
Chixia waved her hands, her expression full of refusal, showing that she had no such thoughts whatsoever.
Rover just smiled at this and said nothing more. The two women beside them also smiled slightly, clearly understanding Chixia's personality well.

[ At this moment, the Rover also became curious about the selection mode for the Magistrate.
Rover: "So, does the Magistrate ask people about their own wishes?"
Yangyang: "I understand what you mean… Being chosen as the Magistrate at such a young age without any warning, it's hard to imagine what kind of mood Jinhsi must have been in at that time…"
Next, after chatting for a while, the group finally set its sights on matters related to the Black Shores.
Through the corresponding information, they finally learned that to understand that the black flower represents the Black Shores, they needed to go to the back mountain to find a little, white, tender… a little elf girl who smiles very cutely, with big eyes that blink and blink… just like a bunch of starflowers.
Then, following the directions, the group, unsurprisingly, met that little golden-haired elf on the back mountain! ]

Encore: "Wow. It's Nene! It's a pity Encore isn't with her. But Nene is really, really good."
Aalto: "Haha. Actually, Encore, you're very good too."
Verina: "Mm. Encore, you're very good too. ⦍SmilingJinhsi.jpeg⦎"

[ "May I ask… are you all lost?" The little elf in the video, after smiling at the group, her first reaction was to try to solve their problem.
Rover: "We aren't lost. Are you a starflower?"
Seeing such a cute little elf, even the Rover couldn't help but crack a joke.
This also shows that the little elf in front of them… is someone who can make people feel good from the bottom of their hearts.
Verina: "Ah, I'm sorry, I almost forgot. I should introduce myself first. This is the etiquette here in Huanglong…"
Verina: "Um, I've heard so much about you. I am Verina. It's a pleasure to meet you all today… Uh, is that how you say it?"
Rover: "Hehe. No need to be so formal. Aren't you worried that we might be bad people?"
Verina: "I'm sorry, I've been living in the New Federation, so I don't know much about the language here in Huanglong…"
Chixia: "Hello, Verina. I'm Chixia, this is Yangyang, and this is the Rover. We were introduced by Grandma Lin."
Verina: "I've heard Grandma Lin mention you. This little flower is what I left for Grandma Lin to guide the way."
Verina: "Are you all having any trouble now? Is there anything I can help with?"
Yangyang: "It's like this, we are looking for a special kind of flower…"
Along with Yangyang's words, the Rover also took out that flower from the Black Shores and handed it to Verina.
Verina: "This flower is indeed very unique. Pure black flowers rarely exist in nature, but the possibility of artificial dyeing cannot be ruled out."
Verina: "I imagine there should be a few types of flowers with similar shapes and structures to this one…"
Verina: "Take Iris, for example. Its petals are similarly oval-shaped, but it has double petals."
Verina: "It's not Viola, either, since Viola has notched petals."
Verina: "Then there's also the Cliffrecluse, but this flower has a longer stamen and an extra petal."
Verina: "Lemongrass is also similar in shape. It's native to the New Federation, and Huanglong people may not be familiar with it."
Verina: "Though it has a similar stamen length, it has a conical inflorescence with a trumpet-shaped corolla."
It must be said that these flower varieties, which would sound like gibberish to ordinary people, were spoken of by Verina as if she knew them like the back of her hand…
From Iris to Viola, from Cliffrecluse to Lemongrass, every shape and comparison… down to the overall degree of similarity, it could be said she explained it clearly.
Verina: "Oh, and I almost forgot the Pecok Flower! It's a single-petaled flower with a similar stamen length!"
Verina: "But... The Pecok Flower has a distinct peduncle, while this one doesn't."
Chixia: "So there's so much to it. I've really learned a lot…"
Verina: "In short. The characteristics of this black flower are very strange. It's almost impossible to find a similar plant in nature." ]

Aalto: "Well, it would be strange if you could find one. ⦍FrowningJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Black Shores Member: "That's right. That is a flower unique to our Black Shores, and it also symbolizes our identity as members of the Black Shores. Naturally, it has to have its unique aspects. ⦍NodsJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Camellya: "Actually, Iris are quite nice. Have you ever considered cultivating some Iris? ⦍SuggestingJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Black Shores Member: "The Iris from Linathia? There are indeed many types of flowers in the Black Shores, but I don't think there are any irises."
Camellya: "Right~ Right. Iris are very beautiful; you could try cultivating some."
Camellya, The Shorekeeper: "(Iris… looks like it's necessary to change the soil structure of the Black Shores. At the very least, we shouldn't let Iris have the conditions to grow here.) ⦍NodsJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
.....
[ Verina: "If I really have to give a summary, I would tentatively judge that it might be a new variety cultivated artificially."
Under Verina's explanation, the three of them had a rough understanding.
The Rover immediately planned to split up. His idea was simple… he wanted to use the black flower to lure out the person behind it.
Yangyang and Chixia naturally did not object under the Rover's persuasion.
Then the scene shifted, a young and beautiful girl with two large braids and white hair…
At this moment, she appeared innocent, delicate, and soft, standing in place… looking around somewhat timidly. ]
