Genshin Impact: Can’t the executive just give up?

They climbed up the snow-covered mountain along the snow-covered road and killed a Frost Armor King sitting on the side of the road. After wandering around, they finally found a suitable place.

"This is it."

Youla looked around and said, "The mountain roads in this area are rugged and the cold wind is strong enough. I came here with my family when I was a child."

In a sense, the people in the Lawrence family can be said to be determined. After all, they really would come to the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain to train in the severe cold in order to abide by the family's ancestral etiquette.

Ying followed Eula's request, wrapped in Rhine's cloak, and strolled along the bumpy mountain road. The cold wind blew the cloak, which seemed to bring greater resistance to Ying.

However, for her who has rich experience in outdoor adventures, this is not a difficult task.

Rhine was not interested in such things. He was leaning against a deep red stone to keep warm.

Although his body was not afraid of such severe cold, who would want to face the howling cold wind when he could rest in a warm place?

A black cube condensed in his hand, and Rhine threw it upwards. The cube transformed into a dagger in the air and returned to Rhine's hand.

click!

Rhine used his dagger to cut off a piece of deep red stone and looked at Ying who was walking carefully in the distance and Eula who was standing beside her.

They had their backs to Rhine and could not see his movements at all, let alone the dagger in his hand.

Rhine walked over and handed the fragment of the Deep Red Stone to Eula.

"You actually found this?"

Yura said in surprise.

For the people of Mond, the deep red stone is a special mineral that only appears in the snowy mountains. It has a special texture and although it has a warm luster, it cannot be made into jewelry.

Moreover, this mineral seems to possess mysterious powers. As long as it is in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, it will emit strong heat to help people carrying it resist the cold.

Unfortunately, the Deep Crimson Stone will only remain in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. Once it leaves the mountain, it will turn into a blood-colored mist and float away. Otherwise, this special mineral business might also become a good economic industry for Mond.

"Take it with you."

Rhine looked at Eula who was shivering a little. It was quite cold on the snowy mountain after all. Even with a robe on, Eula's body was not as straight as before.

Eula took the fragment and looked at Ying again.

Knowing Eula's concerns, Rhine said with a smile: "Don't worry about Ying. You can doubt Ying's physique, but you can't doubt the research of the Winter People on cold climates."

Being able to survive safely in the Kingdom of Winter, the people of Winter naturally have a unique understanding of how to resist the cold and keep warm, and the equipment issued to the executive officers is the best of the best in every aspect.

If Ying could run two laps in the Rhine cloak without sweating, he would eat the cloak on the spot!

After saying a few more words, Rhine said goodbye to Eula and decided to leave for the time being.

In the snow-capped mountains, he saw very shallow footprints.

The footprints were covered by a thin layer of snow, and the pattern on the soles could not be seen clearly, but the traces of the footprints meandered from the interior of the snow mountain and then turned to other places.

Rhine observed that the distance between the footprints was obviously smaller than his own, and somewhat similar to the distance between Ying's steps. Generally speaking, this proves that the owner of the footprints is about the same height as Ying.

Most of the people who can come to the snow mountains are adult adventurers, and the distance between their steps is basically the same as that of the Rhine.

And this person came from the inside of the snow mountain, and the footprints were arranged in a straight line, which shows that this person has enough knowledge about the snow mountain and has a clear purpose...

This reminded Rhine of someone. Originally, Rhine came here just to see Eula's special training of Ying, and did not hold any hope of finding Albedo.

However, seeing this row of footprints, it seems that the probability of successfully finding Albedo has increased by half a point.

boom!

The blazing flames burned a lone Ice Hill Shaman to ashes. Rhine stepped on the Shaman's staff lying in the snow, breaking it in two and continued to observe the footprints.

"Are we going to look for Durin's body?"

The footprints followed the mountain road westward. Based on his vague understanding of Teyvat, Rhine vaguely recalled that that was the location of the Sleeping Dragon Valley.

In the past, Durin and Tevarin fought and eventually fell on the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, creating the current Sleeping Dragon Valley.

Its body had long since turned into a skeleton, but its heart still retained warmth. The deep red stone growing on the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain was formed from its blood.

The Deep Red Stone appeared after the fall of the dragon, but no one seems to know the causal relationship between them. After all, how could such a precious mineral that can bring warmth to people in the severe cold come from an evil dragon?

"stop!"

A voice interrupted Rhine's thoughts.

Rhine withdrew his gaze from the snow and looked at the guy who was wrapped tightly and wearing a mask.

Fools?

Rhine was speechless as he looked at the Fatui in red who were shouting at him.

Why are you everywhere?

"That's the place we Fatui planned. As an outsider adventurer, I advise you to change the route."

The Fatui general stood with his musket in the snow, pointed in the direction of Sleeping Dragon Valley, and spoke to Rhine.

Are they planning to take Du Lin's heart?

Rhine shook his head in his heart and did not refute, but talked about the footprints on the ground: "I just followed the footprints in the snow to look for someone. Has anyone been here recently?"

"Eh? Why are there footprints? I was clearly watching closely."

This Fatui was, to be precise, a musket guerrilla soldier.

He held the musket with one hand and reached into his hat with the other, scratching his head, seeming a little confused.

Why are you so stupid?

The guerrilla soldier's confusion had broken through his serious mask and was completely sensed by Rhine.

However, with the ability to break through the Fatui's defenses and easily reach the depths of the snow-capped mountains, Rhine is 50% sure that this person is Albedo.

Ignoring the Fatui, Rhine continued to go deeper into the snow-capped mountains at a brisk pace.

We may find Albedo soon, so happy!

"Hey you!"

Seeing that Rhine did not listen to his advice, the musket guerrilla soldier raised the musket in his hand and slightly raised the muzzle.

"Don't...I*"

Before the poor guerrilla soldier could finish his words, Rhine snatched the musket from his hand, grazed the guerrilla soldier's mask, turned the muzzle and pointed it directly at his head.

"Sir, yes, we can talk it over." The guerrilla soldier became obviously flustered.

"The will of the Kingdom of Winter is as hard as ice, ha!"

Rhine sneered and said, "Next time you encounter an intruder, just shoot him in the feet."

Rhine's hand holding the gun loosened slightly, and the musket naturally turned downward, accompanied by Rhine's gently hooked fingers...

With a bang, a bullet with a smell of gunpowder was fired out and hit the guerrilla soldier's feet, and it was unknown where it went.

"Do you understand, soldier?"

Rhine threw the musket into the guerrilla's arms, and the mask on his face slowly took shape.

"Mr. Executive?!"

The guerrilla soldiers were somewhat frightened.

How could I meet a living executive in this godforsaken place?

In a remote place like the Dragon's Back Snow Mountains, the Fatui did not know what Rhine looked like, but the appearance of the mask had already spread among them.

Plus such a strong momentum...

The identity of an executive officer is not so easy to fake.

"You didn't keep a close eye on the entrance and let an outsider sneak in. I won't blame you for this. I won't do it again. But don't make it public this time. Just pretend I never came. Do you understand?"

Rhine's voice became deep and hoarse under the mask.

"Yes!"

The guerrilla soldier saluted hurriedly, his arms still shaking a little.

Rhine patted the guerrilla soldier on the shoulder, nodded, and then walked deeper into the snow-capped mountains.
